WOMAN BUSTED FOR TRYING TO SMUGGLE DRUGS TO INMATE

POLAK A Williamstown woman is in the same jail where she tried to deliver a controlled substance to a current inmate. The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office arrested Eileen C. Polak, 43 of Williamstown on one class B count of attempting to deliver a controlled substance (hydrocodone).

Polak remains in the Lewis County Jail in lieu of a $50,000 cash only bond.

FORMER LAGRANGE MAN DIES IN SUNDAY CRASH IN IOWA A former LaGrange man was killed and his wife injured in an accident Feb. 26 in Henry County Iowa.

A record number of people attended the ninth annual Ten Rivers Chapter Pheasants Forever banquet Saturday. “It was a big success. We had more than 300 people, the largest number of attendees we’ve ever had. It’s the best fundraiser we’ve ever done,” said club president Rob Power. The amount of money taken in by the auctions of hunting related items and eight raffles of 16 firearms, - all donated by sponsors - was still being tabulated, according to

Power. Power said this year, the group had 40 Gold sponsors, each who provided at least $300. “That gave us more money to start with than we’ve made in some years,” Power said. He said all money raised after expenses will be used for local projects. “We’ll use it for a focus group that is being developed. We have a 12,000 acre area we’re targeting for habitat nesting birds in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation, who will pay for 90 percent of the project and Pheasants Forever will

pay for 10 percent,” Power said “there should be no cost to the co-operators (land owners). “The focus group is bringing attention to our county,” he said. Power said several other area counties have such focus groups. In addition, proceeds also help pay for cost-share projects and seed for local landowners for habitat growth; for a college scholarship for both a Canton and Highland

student; covering 4-H shooting events and the Highland and Canton FFA sports shooting events; and the cost of the Lewis County 4-H team for rifle, shotgun, and archery competing at state. Tim Coy has been the Lewis County coach. Power said the chapter is researching a recent endowment from Pheasants Forever Nationally to earmark $20,000 for the Canton and Highland shooting teams, with the national chapter covering 75 percent of the costs.

Man arrested on firearms charge A rural Wyaconda man was arrested for possession of a firearm by a felon. James A. Kerfoot, 51, of Monticello was arrested Feb. 20 on an outstanding Lewis County warrant of one count for class C felony of a possession of a firearm by a felon.

This stems from incidents on Feb. 1 near 165th and Holly Avenue in rural Monticello. Kerfoot fled from authorities in the early morning of Feb. 1, but was caught and questioned about the firearm charge and conservation violations. Kerfoot was lodged in the

Lewis County Jail after the Feb. 20 arrest, but has since posted the $10,000 cash only bond. The Missouri Department of Conservation has assisted with the investigation.

Mark Reinebach will observe 25 years as an American Family agent on March 1. He began his career as an insurance agent when Jerry Bean, longtime American Family agent in LaGrange, went into management for the company. Mark was farming and ran heavy equipment, when a back injury made him look for other career opportunities. Jerry suggested becoming an insurance agent and Mark talked to the people from American Family and got the job of being an agent in Lewis County. He took over the office in LaGrange and later opened an office in Canton. The American Family Insurance Agency is now located at 1810 Elm Street in Canton. Reinebach had an office in LaGrange for 21 years. He is licensed in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa and has five full time licensed staff employees. The agency is a multiline agency, which means it provides insurance for autos, property, commercial, farm/ranch, life and health. Reinebach says he has really enjoys meeting the great people of the community and appreciates their loyal support. Many of his customers he has had since he started in the insurance business. He likes to help his customers make informed decisions about their insurance needs. His warm, friendly personality and caring attitude towards his customers has helped make his agency a success. He started with one other person in the office, Judy Mallet of LaGrange, who worked with him for over 20 years and his agency has grown every year. He also makes time for his customers to give the personal attention they deserve and works several evenings to better serve his customers. Reinebach also believes strongly in the company he represents. American Family will observe 85 years in business in October.

REINEBACH The American Family Insurance history is a story that started with a single idea. A struggling insurance salesman named Herman Wittwer believed a company could make money selling auto insurance to Wisconsin farmers. Herman understood that farmers presented lower risks compared to city drivers because they drove less often and put their cars up on blocks for the winter. Armed with this customer knowledge, Herman confidently opened the doors of Farmers Mutual Automobile Insurance Company on Oct. 3, 1927. Over the years, the market grew from rural areas to small towns, suburbs and metropolitan areas. As customers’ needs also changed, and the company changed with them by expanding products and services. The company’s name changed in 1963 to American Family Mutual Insurance Company to reflect a broader customer base and currently operates in 19 states. Mark Reinebach says he is proud to live in a wonderful community. He is very active in the community and generously donates and supports local events, especially those that involve children. He and his wife Vicky have four children and ten granddaughters. Reinebach and his staff look forward to serving the community in the future. The office is open weekdays or appointments can accommodate any schedule. The phone number is (573) 288-2004.

LOCAL NEWS LaGrange Youth Center hosts drug awareness program BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com

The LaGrange Community Youth Center held a program for the community dealing with the problems of drug abuse. Speakers included the LaGrange Police Department K-9 officer, Lt. Don Cibert, who talked to the crowd about how the LaGrange Police Department, along with all the other area law enforcement agencies, are fighting the war on drugs. Cibert gave a demonstration with the drug dog, Vitou. Vitou is trained in detecting all types of drugs and is also a search and rescue dog. The drug dog in one of three in northeast Missouri and his services are requested by agencies in many of the surrounding counties. The City of LaGrange purchased the dog several years ago to help the area fight drugs. Betty Bronestine, director of the Youth Center, organizes this annual event to make the community aware of the dangers of drugs and how it . She introduced three speakers who have admitted to drug use and are now recovering from that addiction. Kyle Spindler, told the group about how he started using drugs and alcohol and how he disappointed members of his family. He wanted to tell the group how damaging drugs can be to a life and cautioned the crowd to make good choices so that no one has to have his experience. Patti and Kent Spindler, his adoptive parents, were in the audience and Spindler told the crowd about how he let his fam-

ily down and the disappointment they felt as they tried to help him. He said he always had good parents, who raised him up with good family values and were a loving family, but the addition was beyond his control. He said through everything his family was there for him, but he rejected them. Becoming a father and being arrested turned his life around. He received the help he needed to beat the addiction and make a better life for himself and his family. Spindler also complemented the LaGrange Police for their help and admitted that he really didn’t understand that they were trying to help them, but he is now grateful for all they did. Spindler says he has been clean for almost a year and will continue to stay away from drugs or other addictive substances to be a good father. Two other speakers also told of their experiences and how they are on the road to recovery. The speakers also spoke about the good things the LaGrange Community Youth Center provides. The Center has hosted several drug awareness programs, family and community events and provides a safe place for children and teens. They also thanked Betty Bronestine for her work at the Youth Center and how she has helped them. Terry Hawkins, a writer and actor, who recently retired from teaching language to students in Thailand, and is moving back to the area, had written a poem about meth and shared it with the audi-

The LaGrange Police Department and other area law enforcement agencies are taking an active stand against drugs in our community.

ence. Dale McNelly, LaGrange Police Chief, said that his department is committed to preventing drug use in the area. McNelly said most every town has a problem with drugs, whether large or small. He said that for the size of LaGrange, residents are very fortunate to have

a police department with several officers and a K-9 unit. McNelly said they actively patrol looking for any signs of suspicious activity., which not only cuts down on drug problems, but also makes the town safe from other crimes such as burglary or vandalism or other crimes that can occur. They also work with the

Lewis County Sheriff’s Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Task Force and other agencies to keep drugs out of the area in all parts of northeast Missouri. The size of the force, the K-9 unit and working with other agencies are all big deterrents to drug use and any future drug activity. McNelly also said anyone

needing help to recover from an addiction or problem can contact the police department and they will put them in contact with agencies that can help them and their families. Chief McNelly said “Report any suspicious activity. Everyone has to work together to keep drugs and crime out of the community.”

Think you don’t need flood Think you don’t need insurance? flood insurance?

BY DAN STEINBECK Editor

Add this valuable protection before its too late. Flooding can happen almost anywhere, any time. It might be the result of days of torrential rain. Or quickly melting snow. Or failed flood control structures like levees or dams. But the majority of property owners’ policies do not include coverage for losses caused by flooding. That’s why American Family Insurance is a participating company in the National Flood Insurance Program. There’s a 30-day wait before a flood insurance policy takes effect, making it important to consider this coverage now. So call or visit your American Family agent soon to see if you’re eligible to purchase this coverage. The weather won’t wait. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The amount of cargo moving through Lock 20 in Canton was down last year from the previous year. In 2011, there were 20,828,408 tons in 1,731 lockages and 307 recreational crafts. This is in comparison to 21,880,367 in 1,794 barge lockages and 271 recreation crafts in 2010. The drop is really sub-

stantial compared to 2007 figures. Five years ago there were 26,423,478 tons of cargo that passed through the lock, with 2,155 barge lockages, ad 372 recreational craft passing. Although indirectly related to locking statistics, there were 45.89 inches of rain that fell in 2011, compared to 52.89 in 2010. In 2011, the heaviest rainfall month was June with 15.79 inches and the lowest was August with .74 inches.

EDITORIAL THIS IS LIFE

A PHOTO FROM YESTERYEAR

Common likenesses in unlikely places BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com

Recent TV news brief: An image of the Virgin Mary was found on a tree. It’s usually the Virgin Mary or Jesus whose face supposedly is found in a variety of unsuspecting places - in a tree, on a cheese sandwich, on silverware, and even in a shower mold. (Google Virgin Mary images to learn more about some that have been reported). Why is it this most holy mother/son combination are said to be on so many items, when conclusive photographs of either of them are lacking? Why is it only thee two Bible people are found in items? People are less likely to find images of Adam, Eve, Moses, Job, King David, King Solomon, the Apostle Paul, Lydia, Martha, or even Mephibosheth on a pancake or in unique bar soap swirls, or the image of Pope St. Clement I on a pumpkin seed. Which is more sacrilegious - questioning about finding these images on objects or actually finding an image and assigning it to look like Jesus or Mary? We rarely hear of people finding a cake frosting swirl that looks like U.S. President Millard Fillmore or a potato chip that looks like Richard Nixon or butter tub contents that resemble Bill Clinton. Photographs of Nixon and Clinton exist to at least compare a likeness. Likewise, despite their immense popularity in pop culture, hardly anyone reports finding a wood grain image of El-

STEINBECK vis Presley, a car tire scuff that resembles Michael Jackson, a spaghetti stain that resembles Madonna, a dog biscuit with an accidental resemblance to Lassie, or the inadvertent glare of lights on a Grammy award that looked like Thomas Edison. Also, when was the last time we heard of a coconut that resembles either Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, a dirt imprint of Conrad Hilton, a coonskin cap holder that looks Donald Trump, a computer cable coiled to look like Bill Gates, or a pile of trash that’s a dead ringer for Saddam Hussein. There are a lot of famous people through the ages, but if a public image is going to be found on a natural or man-made object, it likely won’t be of someone in recent history. For some reason, it just draws more attention if the image found is said to resemble Jesus or the Virgin Mary. Perhaps there is a holy fear of someone afraid of eternal consequences if they say that paint swath doesn’t resemble the Virgin Mary.

SOUTHERN STYLE

Toughest job I’ve ever had - motherhood BY BRIANNA BARTLETT EDITORIAL ASSISTANT brianna@lewispnj.com

Growing up, I always believed that parenthood was much easier than all the adults around me made it out to be. When asked why I felt this way, I always responded with an explanation of how well my mother took care of things. In truth, as a child, I had no worries. My mother (with help from my grandmother) seemed to be able to tackle every task thrown at her, oftentimes without even breaking a sweat. For years my mother juggled a full-time, traveling job, two kids, a husband, a house to clean, animals, etc. Because I didn’t fit in well at day-care, my grandmother took care of me on the days that my mother was working and on the nights my mother was out of town, yet, even with all her traveling and long hours, she somehow managed to make every school and sporting event, helped with my homework when needed, and squeezed in some time for herself every evening. As a new mother myself, that list makes my brain spin. My day-to-day seems so overwhelming. Between taking care of my daughter, working, cleaning house, and trying to make time to see my husband (who works on second shift and doesn’t get

BARTLETT home until nearly midnight), there is rarely any time for anything else. Free time is not in my vocabulary, and sleep is very rarely mentioned either. On the days I’m particularly flustered, I always seem to dial my mother’s number. “Mom, how did you do it?” Is always the first question I ask. Fortunately, like good mothers always seem able to do, my mother calms me and tells me that I’m doing a great job and not to be so hard on myself. Instantly, my weight seems to have lightened and my daunting tasks seem to go by with little effort. A traditional Southern quote is: “A man may work from sun to sun but a woman’s work is never done.” My mother always managed to do this so effortlessly. I can only hope that my daughter will think the same of me when she finds herself in my shoes.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Mar. 5, 1987 One of the first phases of the extensive lock and dam renovation project is on schedule. Lock gates were being reset earlier this week, meaning the temporary poiree dam at the south of the Canton Lock 20 is being dismantled; the bulkhead at the north end of the lock will soon come down as well; and the lock chamber is again being filled with water. 45 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Mar. 9, 1967 Culver-Stockton College has received a capital grant of $7,500 from Gulf Oil Corporation. The grant will be applied to the cost of the two grant wings being added to Johann Memorial Library. Great River Gas Company announced the appointment of Gerald Pelzer as manager of the new Missouri utility. He is residing in Canton. Robert V. Shanks has retired effective March 11 from his substitute rural letter carrying position with the Canton Post Office. His work as a substitute carrier dates

back some 47 years when he first assisted his father, John W. Shanks on a 27 mile route out of Benjamin Post Office. 50 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Mar. 8, 1962 Canton’s “Best Citizen for 1961” will be revealed Wednesday night, March 14, at the annual business meeting and banquet of the Chamber of Commerce at Culver Hall on the CulverStockton college campus. The Post Office Department has requested that the Canton Post Office make an earlier dispatch of its mail on Sundays and Holidays to give better long distance service. This request has been put into effect and it will be necessary for patrons to have their mail in the collection boxes in the residential area not later than 3 p.m. or in the box in front of the post office by 4 p.m. on Sundays and Holidays. 75 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Mar. 11, 1937 Canton State Bank has employed Harry M. Ward as their community agriculture agent. The job is a big one as Mr. Ward will have in connection with it the supervision of CulverStockton College farms.

4AILS OF THE #IVIL 7AR

By Chris Stuckenschneider hneeider

CHAPTER 4: Stonewall, Pint-Sized Spitﬁre of a Pup

AAfter fter the Battle at Shiloh, the South was feeling as low as a bird dog with a headd cold. The war war wasn’t going as expected, expected and the loss at Shiloh stripped their sails. The South needed a boost, and they got one. Onto the scene rode a great Southern leader, clear-eyed, purposeful, Major General Thomas Jonathan Jackson, who earned the nickname “Stonewall” at the ﬁrst battle of Bull Run. He was a general of ﬂawless moral character, respected by all, and held in high esteem by the legendary Robert E. Lee, who would become the Confederacy’s topnotch commanding general.

The little dog sprinted out of nowhere, straight into the hearts of the battleweary men. They named the stray “Stonewall,” even though a gust of wind could have picked him up. The pooch never got very big, but he made a huge impact on the Richmond Howitzers, especially Sgt. John Van Lew McCreery, a kind gent Stonewall adopted as his master. Now Sgt. John was handy-dandy—he could shoe a horse and craft a clock that chimed. Always in need of a project, the Sarge taught Stonewall a trick or two, an entertaining diversion in the downtime between battles. To everyone’s delight, McCreery fashioned a tiny pipe and taught Stonewall to sit straight up on his haunches and hold it between his teeth during roll call.

Laken Hugenberg and Lauren Frazier pose with flowers and medals they received recently in the Short Course Illinois Regional Championship Swim Meet. Both girls are from Canton.

Laken Hugenberg, 11, and Lauren Frazier, 10, participated in the Short Course Illinois Regional Championship Swim Meet February 24-26 in Springfield, Ill. The meet was sanctioned by USA Swimming and swimmers were required to qualify for the meet under strict time standards. Hugenberg and Frazier represented the year-round swim team Sheridan Storm based in Quincy Ill. The Storm sent five swimmers from the tristate area to the meet, including the two Canton natives. Hugenberg earned top honors in the 100 yard breaststroke and the 50 yard breaststroke events in the 12 and under Girls division. She qualified for ten events at the Regional level and also earned podium spots for the 200 yd. breaststroke, the 400 yd. individual medley, and the 100 yd. individual medley events. “I was really impressed with Laken’s finishes in the breaststroke events, especially since she just entered the 12 and under group this month,” said Sheridan

Head Coach Michael Moffitt. Hugenberg moved from the 10 and under division into the 12 and under division less than one month ago. Lauren Frazier qualified for seven races in the Regional meet in the 10 and under Girls division. Frazier earned personal best times in all seven of her events, and she earned podium spots for all seven events. Her top finish was second place in the 100 yd. freestyle. Frazier also earned medals in three other freestyle distances: 50, 200, and 500 yards. Frazier swam the 50 and 100 yd. backstroke, as well as the 200 yd. individual medley to round out her medals on the weekend. “Lauren did a great job this weekend, and we are looking forward to a good long course season from her too,” said Moffitt after Sunday’s finish. Long course competition begins in April in Kansas City for the Storm team. Long Course events are held in 50 meter pools, while Short Course events are swam in 25 yard pools.

Ten youth are taking a fire-training course with the Canton Fire Department. The students have finished the seventh week of the course. “They have eight weeks, then they have (to go to) Quincy Fire College March 16-17,” said Canton Fire Chief Jeff McReynolds. Some of the students are Canton R-V students, a few are Culver-Stockton students, and one is a C-S staff member. The class is a state-certified firefighter introduction class, and involves climbing ladders, mock burns like one conducted Feb. 26 of pallets and straw, breaking down doors, and auto extrication, and FEMA incident courses. “They will be able to respond after they pass a state certification test,” McReynolds said. “I like this program. They hit the ground running. It’s easier to use on a fire call.” According to McReynolds, people have different roles in a fire department, depending how they fit with the tasks. “There is a lot of work to do at a fire scene, even

if you don’t (become the one to) put out the fire,” McReynolds said. McReynolds is hoping some of the students carry on with firefighting. “A lot of the guys will be around Canton after they graduate from high school. Manpower is a premium everywhere. Alex Dewitt is one of the Canton R-V students participating. “It’s awesome. I considered being a firefighter for a year or two.” Skyler Bronestine of Williamstown and son of Williamstown firefighter Brad Bronestine said it’s been in his mind since his father first took him to the Williamstown Fire House, when Williamstown was a separate department and Brad Bronestine was chief. Joe Stubbs is a staff member at C-S. “It’s a great opportunity to have under my belt. I enjoy the classes. I’m in charge of the sorority and fraternity houses and work with the residence life on all dorms on campus.” Others in the course are Toby Wilson, Fabio Moreno, Vince Green, Matt Dewitt, Lucas Brown, David McReynolds, and Caleb Fannon. Wilson, Alex Dewitt, Moreno, Bronestine, Brown, and McReynolds are Canton R-V students.

Someone Is Missing Someone is missing from our dinner table, From our bedroom and our home. Someone is missing from holiday celebrations, Family vacations and everywhere in between. Someone is missing from our lives, Our littlest one is missing. She will not have birthday parties, graduations, or celebrations. We will miss her throughout eternity and our family will never be complete. Someone is missing, yet we go on. Our lives are touched by her. Changed forever by her brief existence. Her memory we keep alive. She lives only in our hearts and minds, We were blessed by her short life. Our love for her forever strong. Even though... Someone will always be... MISSING

Several members of Lewis Co. have recently been nationally recognized for having Angus cows registered in the Association’s 2012 Pathfinder Report. The locals that were recognized and were (number of registered Angus cows also included): David Linnenburger, Canton, 1; Terry Little and Son, Monticello, 1; Alan Spicknall, LaBelle, 3; Spicknall Farms Inc., LaBelle, 1; Jim and Sharon Schlager, Canton, 5; J. D. McCutchan and Son, Monticello, 3. The Pathfinder program identifies superior Angus cows based upon recorded performance traits economically important to efficient beef production. These traits include early and regular calving and heavy weaning weights, Bowman says. Over 1.9 million eligible dams and more than 6.5 million weaning records were examined to determine Pathfinder status. All registered Angus cows that meet the strict Pathfinder standards are listed, along with their owners, in the Pathfinder Report that is published annually by the Association. The 2012 Pathfinder Report lists 8,761 individual cows and 231 Pathfinder sires. It is published online at www.angus.org, and printed copies are available from the Association. The largest number of Pathfinder cows from a single herd this year is 74. Started in 1978, the Pathfinder Program continues to recognize outstanding breeders participating in the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®) Program.
