ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL SEARCH BEGINS BY DAN STEINBECK Editor dan@lewispnj.com
The Canton R-V Elementary Principal is stepping down from her post to return to teaching. The district is advertising for someone to replace Darla Gaus, who has been GAUS the principal for five years, whose resignation is effective June 30. She will continue to work in the district. “I want to get back in the classroom. I miss working with the kids in the classroom,” Gaus said. She has taught for five years in Canton before becoming Elementary Principal, 13 years in the C-1 School District, and two years at Bowling Green. Gaus said he passion is special education and intends to be Canton’s elementary special education teacher and director of the special education and federal programs for the R-V district. “I feel like we’ve made a lot of strides in student achievement.

Preliminary hearing set for second man in motel arson BY DAN STEINBECK Editor dan@lewispnj.com
WASCHENBACH
While one man charged in the November 2011 Canton Motel fire has been sentenced, the legal process continues for another defendant. The case of Brian Waschenbach, 39, of Kahoka, was continued Jan. 17 in Lewis County Associate Circuit Court, with a preliminary hearing set for March 5 at 10:30 a.m. at the Monticello Courthouse with Judge Fred Westhoff. Waschenbach, owner of the Motel, is alleged
to have offered financial incentives to Abel Rosales for the Nov. 6, 2011 fire, which caused extensive damage. Both Waschenbach and Rosales have been charged with second-degree arson. Rosales was sentenced in Circuit Court Jan. 5 to three years in the Missouri Department of Corrections. Waschenbach had owned the motel and Rosales was the manager. The Canton Motel had been closed for several months before the fire, and there were no utilities to the building at the time of the fire.
METH USE ON THE RISE Northeast Missouri Drug Task force sees surge in meth. The Northeast Missouri Drug Task Force is again seeing an increase in the manufacture of methamphetamines, after a period of declining use. In a press release from the Task Force, the most prevalent increase seems to be in “Shake and Bake” or “One-Pot” methods of meth cooking, allowing a faster, more mobile manufacture of the substance.
PROBOWL! WIN $20!
While aware of arguments against a medical prescription for pseudoephedrine, requiring a script would significantly reduce the illegal meth production. Other states have made that decision. The Task Force said another drug on the rise is heroin, especially “buttons” (capsules) with “an explosive” increase reported by Missouri law enforcement agencies. The Northeast Missouri Drug Task

A court hearing in Johnson County Kansas Jan. 17 was continued for former Cantonian John Henry Horton. Horton has twice been convicted of the 1974 murder of teenager Lizabeth Wilson in Prairie Village Kansas. His second conviction is under review by the Kansas Supreme Court, regarding an issue involving a jailhouse conversation where Horton reportedly told of his guilt. In this review, Horton’s defense attorneys said they asked for an extension to translate the conversation, but didn’t get it in Johnson County District Court. Horton’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 3, where Horton is to personally appear at the ruling. Horton was arrested at his rural Canton home in October 2003. His first conviction was overturned by the Kansas Supreme Court in Feb. 2007, on a technicality of another victim who claimed Horton used chloroform, as the prosecution said Horton, a school janitor, did with Wilson. He was found guilty again in March 2008. Each time he has been sentenced to life in prison.

rita1@lewispnj.com

His current stand up comedy act is geared toward adults and he gets his material from everyday happenings. He likes to focus on the absurd things that happen in life.

TOP - Dustin Diamond, better known as Screech from TV’s Saved By The Bell, discusses his career before his performance Jan. 21 at the Lewis Street Playhouse in Canton. BELOW - Diamond poses with Deb and Jim Crenshaw from the Lewis Street Playhouse. The Playhouse presents comedy shows each month.
A native of California, he has moved to the midwest, close to Milwaukee, Wisc., with his girlfriend, Amanda. He said he hopes to get married and raise a family. He was amazed when one of his new Wisconsin neighbors brought him an apple pie to welcome him to the neighborhood. While living in Los Angeles he never met his neighbors, even after years of living there, so he really enjoys his life in the midwest and the friendly people. Diamond spoke about his years as Screech on Saved by the Bell, from the late 1980s to 2000, but at this point in his life he wishes to focus more on adult entertainment, although he did say that in the future he would love to do something more family oriented. He has also appeared in several reality and game shows. In 2010 he had a supporting role in the sports comedy Tetherball: The Movie. Diamond said some of his comedy idols are George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. Television shows he currently watches include Dexter, Breaking Bad and The Big Bang Theory. He also noted that he loved The Muppet Movie. He is a big fan of wrestling and has been in a band. Fans can follow him on Twitter @dustindiamond. Diamond seemed very friendly and happy to talk to the newspaper and television reporters. He posed for pictures and signed autographs and talked about his life as a celebrity and his future plans. Jim Crenshaw from the Lewis Street Playhouse said Diamond played to a full house and was very funny. The next comedy show at the Lewis Street Playhouse will be Feb. 25 with comedian Mark Sweeney. Micheal Winslow, the actor known for his sound effects in the Police Academy movies, will perform on April 7.

Tell us about your background and family. I was born to Harold and Donn Logsdon on July 11, 1958. I was brought home to farm life then and have been on the farm ever since. I am the third child out of six. I have one older sister and brother and three younger brothers. I went all twelve years at Canton R-V graduating in 1976 and then attended North East Missouri State University now Truman State University graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education in 1980. In August of 1980, I married Randy Eaton and began teaching school at Lewis County C-1. We were blessed to have our first son, Les, in 1982, our daughter Julie in 1983, and our youngest son, Jeffrey in 1987. I had taken time off of teaching to have my children, but went back to teaching Kindergarten in 1985 for Lewis County C-1 at La Belle. When that school closed in 1987 I stayed home until 1989 when I began working for the State of Missouri as a Social Worker. I investigated child abuse and neglect, placed children in foster care, did home studies for adoptive homes, and worked with foster parents. In 1993 I changed my career path and went to work at the local N.E.C.A.C. Office. Randy and I have been active in 4-H with all three children being involved in many different aspects of 4-H. I enjoyed being both a project leader and club leader. I continue to love farm life and we raise cattle, various other livestock and hay. The farm is a great big playground for our three grandchildren whom I adore and am so very proud of. I love to sew, read and garden in my spare time. Our family has had to be one strong unit. In 1983 we lost our home and everything we owned to a house fire on Christmas Eve. And then had the misfortune of losing our home in the May 2003 tornado. During that time, if it was not for the support, assistance and love from our family, friends and this community we would not have recovered so well. Losing everything you own makes you truly know what is important in life, your family, your friends, your faith and as long as you have these things you are very lucky.
Tell us about NECAC. Community Action is proud to pledge to help people help themselves. NECAC has an office in all twelve counties that we serve. Lewis County is the farthest north and we go all the way to St. Charles, over to Moberly and all areas in between. We are a not-for-profit agency. The funding for our programs is obtained from many sources. Federal dollars, State dollars, and a host of
“Losing everything you own makes you truly know what is important in life, your family, your friends, your faith and as long as you have these things you are very lucky.” Judy Eaton other local funding is how NECAC operates over 60 programs throughout their twelve county service area. My role as Lewis County Service Coordinator is to provide families with the resources to enable them to lead self sufficient lives. This is done by helping them set goals, making referrals, and assisting them with both immediate and long term plans for their future. What is a typical day like for you at NECAC? Lots of phone calls from people needing information and or questions about services we offer or another agency offers. Meeting with families and doing all types of different programs from heat assistance to housing to case management. I enjoy working with other agencies, and people in the community, making connections and partnerships. I love all the different people I get to work with each and every day. No two days are alike and that is one of the best things about my job. How did you become involved with NECAC? I had worked with the previous coordinator on a few projects and knew just enough about NECAC to want to be able to help families in Lewis County. I truly
1
felt that my experience as an educator and a social worker gave me a strong background to be able to be successful in this job. How did NECAC help families this past holiday season and are the needs becoming greater in our area? We partnered with Kiwanis and they did food gift cards for many Canton residents. We do a big adopt a child program with lots of clubs, organizations, schools, and private people caring enough to adopt children in need. The United Immanuel Methodist church and many volunteers all coordinate to make this a wonderful program for many children and their families in Lewis County. NECAC has been instrumental in making sure these programs are successful. The needs are very much greater now than even a few years ago, as many jobs have been lost in our area. The families are struggling to live let alone buy Christmas gifts and holiday dinners. What are some of the changes you have experienced during your time at NECAC? The biggest change is that we used to focus on doing commodities and clothes and just meeting client’s immediate needs. We now focus on helping clients help themselves. By offering classes on budgeting, life skills, energy saving, and many other life skill classes we focus on helping the client gain knowledge/skills to be able to better themselves. We still have some financial assistance programs that we operate like the heat assistance which is so very much needed. The other big change is that when I came here almost 19 years ago we did everything on paper. Now we use the computer for almost all of the forms etc. that we do. We are really striving to go paperless, and I think someday soon that will be the way we operate. What are some ways the community can help your organization? I have always been extremely proud of all of our communities in Lewis County as they have all assisted not only this agency but many other programs. When tornado’s/floods wreck havoc on our towns this entire county and surrounding area pitch in to assist whatever area needs help. Our agency has seen a very large increase in the need for assistance with water deposits, water bills, and gas vouchers so the wage earner can get to work, and a host of needs for which our agency has no funding. Small donations add up and this enables us to continue to assist families so they can be sufficient.

The real world is too very full of sports losers BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
One of the harsh realities of sports is that seasons, tournaments, and eventually games, is that one team will win and the other will lose. More often than not, it is probably your team that loses. For example, the NFL has 32 teams. Thirty-one of them will finish the year (or, as in the case of the Kansas City Chiefs and others that already have finished), without a championship-of-the-year trophy. If that is frustrating, offer a co-championship option and gauge the response. Sports, for all the good it does to build bodies, bank accounts, and hopefully, sportsmanship, puts the tentative in fair-weathered fan. Say a player misses a (pick at least one) kick, pass attempt, pass catch, tackle, run, autograph session, or call to his probation officer, and the fans go nuts. The player is the subject of verbal assaults with bad words that can’t be used in a family humor column such as this. He is told - by sports fans - he shouldn’t live. Fans put the player out for a cheap trade, regardless of any positive actions taken in the past. They don’t judge their work as strongly as that of athletes. The heat of the moment burns hot instantly. Sports fans also get their mental functions way out of whack. They get angry at God, who according to Diehard Sportsfan, must somehow be obligated to make his sports team win, even though the same fan has missed church every Sunday of this season (and
STEINBECK the last two seasons). They get angry at the coach, the team owner, the cotton candy vendor at the stadium, and the media, because surely they had a role in this downfall. On the other fickle hand, if said player makes (pick one) a kick, a pass attempt, a pass catch, a good run, a good tackle, a good public expression, or a good tailgating sandwich recipe, said player is, in the minds of the Sports Zealots, anointed to sainthood. A statue MUST be constructed. The stadium, no the whole town, should be renamed after the player. We’ll put his name on the 12 replica jerseys we wear, and it is doodled on every company spread sheet. Our boat will be nicknamed after the player. His likeness will be airbrushed on the side of our homes. This all brings a question to mind. In sports, is it a disappointed, but mature, understanding fan of a team not winning, or a spoiled, obnoxious, gloating jersey-wearing jerk void of reason who is the real loser in a contest? The answer will be told to you if God lets my team win the big game.
WELL OF LIFE
Who Knew? BY ALLEN SEARSON REPORTER allen@lewispnj.com
Who knew that by choosing to attend CulverStockton College, I would find myself so involved in the Canton community and Lewis County as a whole? Who knew that I would meet the love of my life here, and be married with children? Who knew that I would aspire to be a communication specialist and find myself contributing greatly to our county newspaper.? Who knew that I would become part of such a wonderful college family, who truly
SEARSON cares for its students and supports them from start to finish? I’m not sure if anyone knew, but the bigger question now is, who knows what’s next?

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY
BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years The Press-News Journal Jan. 22, 1987 In executive session of the Lewis County C-1 School District Jan. 14, three administrators’ contracts were not offered for the 1987-88 school year. The board chose not to renew the contracts of Assistant Superintendent Robert Wallace, Highland Principal John Wallace, and Highland Assistant Principal Bruce Sigler. C-1 officials would not publicly give out the vote count of the six board members. In constant dollars most counties have less property tax capability than in 1930. This is the finding of a study by Eber Cude, University Extension specialist. Cude found 1930 county assessed valuation figures and converted them to 1984 dollars by tracking changes in consumer process. The sudden death of Jeremiah Rathburn was ruled accidental by an Adams County Coroner’s Jury but there may have been negligence on the part of Brown Drug Store in Quincy. The jury, which heard the child’s father, Mark of Maywood, and Quincy Police Officer Scott Fenn testify at Jan. 14 inquest suggested there was negligence leading to the sixmonth-old child’s death Dec. 27. 45 Years The Press-News Journal Jan. 26, 1967 The Town Board of Canton has called a special election to be held Tuesday, Feb. 14, to vote on the proposition to change Canton from a special charter town to a city of the fourth class. Concert pianist Leonora Suppan will be presented in an evening concert Feb. 2 in Alexander Campbell Auditorium. She is presently teaching music at Western Illinois University at Macomb. The student council of Canton High School is holding a Talent Show on Jan. 31. One of the most
talented and well-known groups in the Canton area are the famous “Signs of Trouble.” The group includes Mike Turner, Max Kearns and Ron Holliday. One group making their first appearance is a group of seventh graders who call themselves “The Singing Sweethearts.” This group consists of Lori Miller, Debby Harscher, Kay Schlepphorst and Anne Calvert. The Lewis County Rebublican Women’s Club is sponsoring a Lincoln Day Dinner to be held at the American Legion Hall. David Doctorian, guest speaker, will bring a challenging and appropriate subject. 50 Years The Press-News Journal Jan. 25, 1962 Canton has been chosen as one of the towns in Missouri where food and other survival supplies will be stockpiled in existing buildings suitable for fallout shelters, it has been announced by J. Patrick Wheeler, county civil defense chairman and acting county shelter representative. Representatives of the Missouri Civil defense were in Canton last week conferring with Mr. Wheeler and Mayor A. Clyde Stork. 75 Years The Press-News Journal Jan. 28, 1927 Carney Forsthove has taken charge of the International Harvester Store in Canton and will conduct the business at its present location in the Birk building. The Carty Motor Co., LaGrange, distributor of Buick and Pontiac automobiles and GMC trucks, has enjoyed a fine business since establishing sales a fine office and service plant in LaGrange last March. From that time to Jan. 1 the company sold 111 new cars and trucks and 162 used cars and trucks. 85 Years The Lewis County Journal Jan. 28, 1927 The Canton Poultry Co. did business last year of a little more than $55,000 in eggs, poultry, cream, etc. Frank Honaker, George
Van Tress and Claude Wallace were the new directors named. W.A. Bradrick’s administration of the business has been careful and honest and the directors will do well to keep him where he is. W.A. Clapp and family treated our citizens to an excellent radio program Monday evening. They let the receiver of their telephone carry the program out on the line. 95 Years The Lewis County Journal Jan. 26, 1917 Thursday about noon the home of George A. Walters, north of LaBelle, caught fire. Mr. Walters went upstairs to try to save some papers and the roof fell in on him cremating him alive. The house was a total loss. Leach and Guinan are building at Maywood, a model packing plant containing the latest machinery and having a capacity of 75 hogs and 15 beeves a day. The machinery alone will cost $5,000. The firm will kill and cure all the meat used in their four stores, besides doing a wholesale business, keeping one man on the road all the time. J.V. Klusmeier of LaGrange became the owner of one of the prettiest islands in the Mississippi River near Quincy, when he paid a $740 per 100 acres of land auctioned off in the court house by E.P. Allen, master in chancery. The island belonged to Sanford Slater, and is in Ursa Township although it is surrounded by water. It lies opposite LaGrange. Some of the land is cleared and used for farming but many acres are virgin woodland and covered with a heavy growth of trees. 105 Years The Lewis County Journal Feb. 1, 1907 Canton is to have a new button factory. The title of the firm will be Clark-Dussair Pearl Button Co. Plano school has been closed on account of a case of scarlet fever having proved fatal in that vicinity. The House has voted to continue the free distribution of seeds in the
old way and appropriated $236,000 for that purpose. Roy Roberts, principal of the Benjamin public school, was in town Wednesday, the school being closed on account of diphtheria there being several cases reported there, two children having died. The grist mill at this place, which has not been running for sometime, started up the first of the week and has been doing a good business. Mr. Hanly, miller, will endeavor to grind every Saturday hereafter. Canton is to have a new button factory. The title of the firm will be Clark-Dussair Pearl Button Co. Plano school has been closed on account of a case of scarlet fever having proved fatal in that vicinity. 125 Years The Lewis County Journal Jan. 28, 1887 The county clerk on Monday reappointed Austin J. Smith manager of the county poor farm, for the year 1887. Mr. Smith is so good a manager that the court will not give up on him. He can not be excelled for the position. Mr. Shinn, who lives west of Deer Ridge, shot and killed a large buck deer just west of H.N. Eversole’s last Saturday. The buck had been chased by the Spindle hounds and in a flight with them had lost his horns. So far as we can learn this is the first deer killed in this section for 10 years past, the last one before this being killed by Sandy Brown just over the line in Clark County about 10 years ago. The Canton House has been sold to Luther Logan of LaGrange, the price being in the neighborhood of $5,000. Mr. Logan is present proprietor of the Fremont House in LaGrange. The lease of Mr. Steele, the present proprietor of the Canton House, does not expire til the first of August. The public schools are in a flourishing condition under the able management of A. E. Dent and Miss Ada Smith.

Missouri Food Prices Outpace National Average Missouri food price increases have outpaced national trends, according to Missouri Farm Bureau’s yearend Marketbasket Survey. The American Farm Bureau also tracks food prices each quarter on the same 16 items nationally that represent a cross-section of agricultural products. “The fourth quarter results reveal food prices continued to climb in supermarkets across Missouri,” said Diane Olson, director of promotion and education for the Missouri Farm Bureau. “This quarter’s Missouri average was higher, at $52.01, than national prices, which ended at $49.23. Typically, Missouri comes in under the national average.”

Several hundred were in attendance from all over the state and Marvin, Loretta and Rachel Bringer and Bobby Shepherd attended. It would be hard to know how many young people Al has touched over the 43 years, however, he did say he has worked with a number of families for the third generation. Al recalled many funny things that happened over the years and how hard the sad times were when a young life was lost. He mentioned a young man on the Cattle Judging Team in Marion County, Kevin Myers. An agriculture scholarship has been started in Al’s honor at the University of Missouri and the decorations were in those colors as well as a lot of tigers. It was a great evening for someone who deserved the praise and thanks of northeast Missouri. Vicki Kuhlmeier and Loretta Bringer enjoyed lunch at the Pier on Thursday.

COMMUNITY NEWS Civil War Connection: A grandson’s tale
Hamilton C. Wilson BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com
A direct link to the Civil War (18611865) can be found with Stanley Wilson of rural Canton. His grandfather was a Confederate soldier. Hamilton C. Wilson was born in Indiana Nov. 1, 1840. His parents originally came from Kentucky and were farmers and stock-raisers. In 1843, they came to Lewis County. Mr. Wilson farmed all his life, except for the time as a soldier in the Confederate service for four years. He was twice taken prisoner. H.C. Wilson was married twice, first to Diana Frances Thompson who died in 1890, leaving five children. The second time he married his first wife’s niece, Mrs. Rovilla Judy, who was 17 years his junior. They had two sons, John born in 1892 and Stanley Wilson’s father, Obie, born 1894. John Wilson is the greatgrandfather of Clyde Wilson of Monticello. Mrs. Wilson had a son from her previous marriage. Stanley Wilson still owns property where his grandfather lived which has now been in the Wilson family for 112 years. He and his wife, Kay, also own property that has been in Kay’s family for over 172 years. The abstract for that farm has only four transactions noted. Wilson has always been interested in history and to have a link to a conflict
from 150 years ago has been a source of again against the North and be loyal to interest for him. Wilson remembers see- the United States of America.

M. Prentiss, when most of the which meant they wouldn’t take up arms men had been transferred to Vicksburg.
However, they did have a strong position. Helena was overlooked by a line of hills, on which they had built a series of forts (Fort Righter to the north, Graveyard Hill in the middle and Fort Hindman to the south). A single gunboat, the U.S.S. Tyler, protected them from the river. Holmes had 7,000 men at his disposal. He planned a three-pronged attack. General Stirling Price, with 3,000 men, was to attack the Federal centre on Graveyard Hill. Generals John S. Marmaduke and L.M. Walker, with 2,780 men, were to attack Fort Righter and General James F. Fagan with 1,770 was to attack Fort Hindman. The flank attacks were launched at daybreak on 4 July. Price’s attack in the centre went in a little later. Price met with the most success, capturing Graveyard Hill after a series of charges. With the flank attacks bogged down, this made Price’s men the target for every gun in the Union army, as well as those on the Tyler. By 10.30 it was clear to Holmes that the attack had failed, and he ordered Price’s men to pull back. July 1863 saw the surrender of Vicksburg and Lee’s retreat from Gettysburg, after devastating days of battle resulting in defeat and mass casualties for the South.The defeat at Helena, while not in the same league, combined with the fall of Vicksburg to leave Arkansas vulnerable to Union attack. Prentiss reported losses of 57 dead, 146 wounded and 36 captured or missing, for a total of 239. Confederate losses were much higher, at 173 dead, 687 wounded and 776 missing or captured, for a total of 1,636, or just over 20 percent of Holmes’s entire force. Helena remained in Union hands, and was used as the base for the expedition that captured Little Rock, only two months later. Stanley Wilson is nearing 80 years old and a graduate of Canton High School. He served in the U.S. Army from 19531955. He spent six months on the opposite side of the Arctic Circle as a combat engineer whose company was attached to the air force. He is a member of the Otto Bruner American Legion Post and has served at over 70 military funerals. He is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He is a lifelong member of Ten Mile Baptist Church. He and his wife, Kay, have three children, Doug, Vickie and Miriam and three grandchildren. He encourages everyone to discover their family history and learn about their ancestors.

LOCAL SPORTS Lady Wildcats Upended at MidAmerica Nazarene Lady Wildcats are still looking for their first victory
The Culver-Stockton College women’s basketball is still looking for its first victory of 2012 after a 74-61 Heart of America Athletic Conference loss to 24th-ranked MidAmerica Nazarene University Saturday afternoon in Olathe, Kan. The Lady Wildcats’ sixth straight loss drops their overall record to 10-11 overall and they end the first half of the HAAC slate with a 2-7 mark. The Lady Pioneers, who have beaten C-SC 19 straight times, built a 36-28 halftime lead on the strength of 48 percent (14-29) shooting from the field. C-SC, which shot 38 percent from the field in the first half, was hampered in its comeback attempt in the second 20 minutes due to poor shooting from the field. The Lady Wildcats made just nine of their 31 attempts (29 percent) from the field in the second half, including all eight 3-point attempts. C-SC did make 15 of its 21 free throws in the second half, and 20 of 31 overall, to keep the visitors within striking distance. MNU, meanwhile, cooled off in the second half by making just 38 percent of its FG attempts. However, the Lady Pioneers were 16 of 21 in the second half and 23 of 28 overall from the foul stripe to keep the Lady Wildcats at arms length. Aneshia Starks paced the Lady Wildcat attack with 21 points, the only player to reach double figures for the guests. Starks also had five rebounds and four steals. Jessie Logsdon, playing her second game after returning from injury, and Tromesa May netted nine points, while Emily Lay recorded eight points and a team-high six rebounds. C-SC begins the second half of the conference season on Thursday, Jan. 26, when they play at Missouri Valley College. Game time is set for 5:30 p.m. in Marshall, Mo.
It is with sincere and heartfelt gratitude that we thank friends, family and community for uniting with us to grieve as well as celebrate the life of our beloved husband, father and grandfather during the days following his passing. The sympathy cards, personal visits, flowers, and all of that wonderful food sustained and supported us during this time of family grief. Know that your care and consideration will not be forgotten. God bless you all. The family of Donald R. Barry Mrs. Donald (Janice) Barry Vaughn & Rita Barry Stan & Teresa (Barry) Logsdon Rex Barry, and grandchildren

de St. Aubin
Culver-Stockton College Head Football Coach Jeff Duvendeck announced that Josh de St. Aubin has been promoted to defensive coordinator for the 2012 season. de St. Aubin, who served as special teams coordinator and tight ends/fullbacks coach during the 2011 campaign, replaces Brandon Lemer, who served as defensive coordinator for one season. Before coming to Culver-Stockton in
2011, de St. Aubin spent the previous two seasons at Eastern Michigan University in various capacities, including recruiting coordinator, football operations assistant, defensive quality control and special teams quality control. During his time as defensive quality control coach, de St. Aubin worked with the linebackers and helped with game film breakdown and practice and game planning. “Josh spent two years as a defensive assistant with Ron English and Phil Snow at Eastern Michigan, two of the better defensive minds in football today,” said Duvendeck. “They have shown Josh how to take a program from the bottom of the league to being a contender. He brings passion, knowledge and selflessness to his job. Due to these characteristics I believe he is exactly what we need here at Culver-Stockton.” A native of Ann Arbor, Mich., de St. Aubin got his coaching start at his alma mater, Northern Michigan University, where he worked with tight ends and fullbacks, and the offensive line during his tenure. During his time on staff, he also served as the assistant video coordinator and helped with recruiting. Culver-Stockton College is affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and a member of the Heart of America Athletic Conference with schools located in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. Lewis County residents competed in the Iowa State Archery Association, 2012 Pro-Am Tournament held in Des Moines, Iowa Jan. 7-8 taking home many awards.

spending the previous two seasons at Winona State (Minn.) University where he was in charge of the defensive line. “Kurt was one of the toughest kids I have ever coached,” said Duvendeck.
“Watching his results as a coach and speaking to people who have worked with him, he brings that same toughness to the table as a coach, and that is what we are looking for in an offensive line coach.”
