TWO RECEIVE MINOR INJURIES IN CRASH, DRIVER CHARGED Two Canton men had apparently minor injuries and the driver was later charged after a Saturday afternoon crash. The Missouri State Patrol said Shawn D. Bronestine, 23, of Canton was northbound on County Road 344th Avenue two miles north of West Quincy Saturday at 2:30 p.m. when his 1982 Ford Grenada left the road and went in a ditch. Both Bronestine and Chase S Phillips, 19, also of Canton refused treatment at the scene. Bronestine was later charged with DWI-drugs and failure to drive on the right half of the road and was taken to the Lewis County Jail. The car had moderate damage. Assisting the Patrol were the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office, Lewis County Ambulance, and Roberts Garage.

Life changing accident remembered Man shares account of near involvement in fatality accident to prisoners BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
On March 3, 1987, just after midnight, 26-year old Larry Muck was on a routine trucking route north of Canton coming from Burlington, Iowa headed to Lenexa, Kansas. The incident that would soon follow would haunt him for decades. Muck was southbound on two-lane highway 61 in Missouri when Mark Patterson, 24, of Lake City, Iowa driving a semi carrying meat, met up with Muck at intersection 218 and 61 and passed Muck. Several times Muck unsuccessfully tried to re-overtake Patterson’s semi. Muck saw the brake lights of Patterson’s

Larry Muck’s semi rests in a ditch six miles north of Canton after an accident he avoided that involved two other semi trucks 25 years ago. Two drivers died in the accident, and Muck has used his close call as a testimony to prison inmates.
CANTON COMMUNITY GARDEN IDEA IS BEGINNING TO GROW BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
Decisions about the community garden in Canton have been made. Sharon Upchurch, spokesman for a nine-member steering committee, said one big decision was to have raised beds for the garden. This is due to the debris from the property at Sixth and Clark Street being the site of a demolition. She and her husband Jim have made a prototype on concrete cinderblocks. There will be three rows of
24x4 feet plots with approximately 45 plots, although Upchurch isn’t sure all plots will be ready this spring. Walkways will separate the plots. The committee considered a hydrant, but it won’t be done this year. For this year, there may be rain barrels, portable tanks, or people having to bring their own water. Compost bins will be in the back of the garden site. The committee also discussed pest management, especially rabbits and raccoons. The raised beds may deter some animals, but non-
chemical deterrents were discussed. Sandra Eccles, who lives across the street from the garden, will paint a sign. Girl Scouts will plant flowers. Upchurch said the committee wants to get as many materials by April 14 for workdays April 22 and 29, and people can register to use plot by May 5. While this may not be as early as some gardeners would like, Upchurch said this is a realistic time frame to get the site ready. There will be a $10 plot charge, which will go towards water solutions next
year. Some soil is on site, more may be needed, and options are being considered. “We want the garden to be as organic as possible. We don’t want the use of heavy chemicals,” Upchurch said. Workshops for beginner gardeners will be offered. There is a Facebook page for the Canton Garden. Other cities are also considering community gardens. “I think the economy and the food safety (e-coli) are factors in the interest,” Upchurch said.

Submitted Photo John and Debbie Gorham share their message of the Gospel with music and Christian humor. The couple will be performing in Clark County this Friday night.
John and Debbie Gorham of La Plata share a ministry of Gospel music and Christian humor. They will be performing in Clark County Friday, March 23. The pair has been singing for 40 years and performs at various regional church-related activities. John entertains as “Grandpa John.” Gorham said God has allowed him to write several humorous songs about things that happen in church, including “That’s My Seat,” “Long-Winded Preacher,” and “All Shook Out,” to name a few. Many folks seem to remember “You Can’t Baptize a Cat.” Making an appearance with “Grandpa John,” is his “twin” Cowboy Cornelius. Gorham is a bi-vocational pastor in Shelbyville and Mrs. Gorham is semiretired with Kirksville Public Schools. The duet will be at Southern Baptist Fellowship on Route 136 in Wayland, starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge. Dan Steinbeck is church pastor.

NECAC to offer Energy Training Center NECAC plans to open a facility to train people in the latest alternative energy developments by May 1. The Energy Training Center, a partnership between NECAC, the Institute of Technology in St. Louis, the Loan Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and Rural LISC, will be located in the NECAC Weatherization Warehouse at 619 Champ Clark Drive in Bowling Green. While there will be some classroom instruction, most of the program will be taught over the Web, so that anyone may participate at any time no
matter where they live. The center will offer a registered apprenticeship program that will pay half of graduates’ salaries to businesses that hire them for up to six months. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is expected to approve the center’s curriculum, which will clear the way for eligible students to receive financial aid. LISC and Rural LISC have each contributed $15,000 in start-up funding. NECAC will charge tuition to participants. The money will help finance the program down the road.

Life changing accident remembered Man shares account of near involvement in fatality accident to prisoners BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
Continued from page 1A rig light up, as Patterson swerved over the center line to avoid a northbound rig of pallet boards driven by Paul Fillback, 33, of Houston, Missouri which crossed the center-line and collided nearly head-on with Patterson’s truck. Muck swerved to avoid impact, and his truck landed on its side in a ditch. The colliding trucks caught fire almost immediately and quickly burned their cargoes. Muck said it was small fire, but quickly grew. He heard Patterson, whose legs were pinned, scream for help. “We (Muck and other passersby who stopped) tried to get the guy out of there and we couldn’t. We shot three fire extinguishers at it,� Muck said. That wreck killed both Patterson and Fillback and closed 61 for most of the day. Traffic was detoured to Route 81. It was a month before Muck could get back on the road. “I was dealing with what I had seen and I’d hurt my back a little,� Muck said. That was the first time he came upon a fatality accident, but it wasn’t his last. “My first trip out af-
ter that accident, I was 54 miles out. The truck in front of me crossed the eastbound lane at U.S. 36 and I-35, when a motorcycle ran into the trailer. I knew the guy in the truck,� Muck said. He administered aid to the motorcyclist, but to no avail. Counting these two accidents, there have been seven other times when Muck was driving a truck and he was the first or second person to come upon a fatality accident. “I wondered what was going on. I was either in the right spot or the wrong spot,� he said. In the history of his company, which grew to 15 rigs at one time, Muck was the only employee to be close to fatality accidents. Through the years, God became more important in his life. For 20 years, Muck had trouble talking about what he had seen, even though fellow truck drivers from St. Louis to Burington asked for his account of the story. “In March, 1987, I was not with the Lord,� Muck said, adding that 14 years ago he moved from a Baptist church to a non-denominational church.
“My outlook on life has changed a lot in the last four or five years. God took care of me,� Muck said. “We’ll all go through death one day. I’ve had close calls several times.� Muck, now 51, quit driving 13 years ago, although his son, now 26, happened to drive past the Lewis County site March 5 of this year. In December 2010, the truck line was reduced to three trucks and Muck has focused his attention on farming and prison ministry. His experience became spiritual messages for a prison ministry involving he and his wife. He’s been a volunteer in the men’s

Are you prepared for what might be coming at you?’ I tell them (like the first accident) “I can’t free them but the Lord can free them. I don’t look back, I have to look forward. I’m a strong believer in healing through the power of prayer.� “You can do things in your life that are positive,� Muck said. Even when the circumstances are difficult.

LEWIS CO. FARM BUREAU RETIREMENT MEETING
Lewis County Republicans met Saturday at the Monticello Courthouse and chose delegates. “It was a different process than I was used to. We’ve had more interest than we’ve ever had,” said County Chairman Kirby Clark. Four people each were chosen as district delegates, state convention delegates, and alternates to each. A straw poll of those present voted overwhelm-
ingly to have their delegates side with Rick Santorum. The straw poll mirrors the County presidential Preference primary Feb. 7, where Santorum got 281 votes, to 71 for Mitt Romney. The state picked Santorum too, although the presidential preference primary does not necessarily mean that’s how the on the state caucus vote will end up in June.

Welcome back—Walt and I barked up the right tree when it came time to research Harvey, a canine of the 104th Ohio, a rough104th and-tumble bunch of Union soldiers dubbed “The Barking Dog Regiment,” mustered at Massillon, Ohio. Those men had a virtual menagerie, three dogs, two raccoons and two squirrels. But Harvey, their bull terrier, was the pick of the litter.

The war injury endeared the old boy to the Union’s 104th regiment. But they had already grown fond of Harvey because of his campfire antics and squirrel high jinks.

It’s believed his men had his portrait painted as well, just like Sergant Dick from Chapter One. Both dogs must have been important because portraits were prized back then. People, and animals, had to sit for hours while an artist captured their likeness on canvas. Harvey may have been as lucky as a cat with nine lives. Some believe he made it through the war, despite being injured at the Battle of Franklin. Other research suggests that Harvey died in a fall from a supply wagon, but I’m doggone sure he went marching home again, “hoorah, hoorah!”

Attention Voters On April 3rd, Lewis County residents have a chance to secure the future for your Lewis County Health Department. Their .10 (ten cents) tax rate of 1953, as well as the excellent management of funds and services by their board and staff, has afforded county residents quality health care, rehabilitation, immunizations and home bound health care needs. Consider the 1953 tax of .10 (ten cents) and recall that gasoline was .09 (nine cents), candy bars .05 (five cents), Pepsi Cola .05 (five cents), bubble gum .01 (one cent). To pass a .10 (ten cent) tax rate, at that time, revealed the importance of health care services. Today...$4.00 gas, $1.00 candy bars, $1.25 Pepsi Cola, bubble gum...go find it. The requested .15 (fifteen cents) increase on April 3rd is, in NO WAY proportional requested increase as compared to the aforesaid items. So, on April 3rd, lets get the best bang for our buck, (which doesn’t happen often these days). Let’s keep a quality Lewis County Health Department viable for another 59 years.

Time to plant a garden BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
The calendar and the weatherman both agree. Spring is here. Hopefully, they have told the groundhog. It’s time to get the garden planted. How about this for 2012? This list below by Gardener Dan is a near perfect plan to match the near perfect spring weather for weeks. • Beans. There are several types to consider. Cacao beans, from which chocolate is made is a great choice. Jelly beans are another perfect garden food. Because they are beans, they must be healthy. • Eggplant. Sure, let’s plant an egg, and when it grows, we can have egg/ steak muffins, or deviled eggs. If left in the ground longer, you may get chicken, which includes a whole lot more possibilities - fried chicken, chicken cordon bleu, rotisserie chicken, chicken pot pie, etc. • Sugar cane and when it grows big and you cut it and cook it it can make a nice glaze for bunt cakes. • Figs. If you can’t find any locally, perhaps you can use the cookie, where the fig filling is the star of the name of said cookie for seed crop to grow more said cookies. • Sweet potatoes. Some gardeners don’t recommend this, but if one lacks the starter yams, pour some sugar on regular russet potatoes. It’s sure to be the same thing. • Oats. This is to plan for the oatmeal bread and oatmeal cookies. • Honey-coated oat rings
STEINBECK cereal. Plant these, and you are sure to get glazed donuts? • Radishes. Plant these in an equine pasture and you’ll surely grow a tangy horseradish spice. Some gardeners are able to combine great garden options to get properly mixed products, such as: • If you plant peanuts and grapes together, you could grow your own trail mix or your own peanut butter and jelly in one plant. • Or a wheat and cinnamon mix to raise plump cinnamon rolls. • Likewise, if you plant a mix of bell peppers, habanero peppers, chili peppers, and banana peppers, you will surely get a nice spicy hot sauce to spring from the garden. • Chili beans with cheese fertilizer. This will let the grower have a dandy chili mac or enchilada • Honey and peanuts. Sure to lead to a fine crop of peanut brittle. • Wheat and any fruit. This gets you a ready-togo breakfast pastry to pop in the toaster. What are we waiting for? Let’s start planting the garden.
TO THE EDITOR TO THE PRESS-NEWS JOURNAL I understand that an incident took place at a Lewis County C-1 school board meeting a couple weeks ago that I consider really tragic. Two board members were forced to resign! Apparently last year (in May I think), Harry Scifres and Robert Reed voted on a school agenda that included their family members, thereby causing a conflict of interest. Harry had just been elected to office, giving up a paying job as a substitute bus driver to be an unpaid public servant. It was, in fact, his very first meeting as a board member. I would have thought the other board members might be expected to say “Hey Harry, remember the conflict of interest clause in the Sunshine Law (the document that governs
Missouri’s board meetings). You shouldn’t vote on this one.” Instead, a letter was sent to officials, reporting a conflict of interest by board members. The letter was presented back to the board at the last meeting, forcing the resignation of these two caring and dedicated men. It was backed by an unnamed group of people who supposedly felt that a wrong had been done. I have to wonder “Why?” Does this group really have the best interests of our school at heart, or is this just politics? I do not personally know Robert, but I know Harry puts the interests of our school above his own personal interests. Did that make him a threat? I don’t know. But I wonder...
TO THE PRESS-NEWS JOURNAL We would like to take this opportunity to ask the voters of Lewis County to support the Lewis County Health Department’s proposed tax levy increase during the 2012 April election. The Lewis County Health Department has been successfully providing health services to keep our community healthy and safe from communicable diseases and other perils at the same tax rate since 1953. The number of services and the citizens required services has increased and continues to do so. As members of the Board, we have done our best to cut expenses, reduce staff, and even go so far as to reduce wages.
Cutting services is an option but which service would we cut? Immunizations, restaurant inspections, day care inspections, blood pressure checks, flu clinics? It would be very difficult to determine which service the community would miss the least. The services proved by the Health Department are to everyone’s benefit, directly or indirectly and we strongly encourage citizen support of the proposed tax levy to continue providing all of these services.

cluding Mrs. Ada Roberts. Callahan, who played the secretary in the TV series, “The Governor and J.J.” has just finished a movie based on the life of singer Billie Holliday. An article written by C. Thomas Wiltshire, assistant professor of biology at Culver-Stockton College, has been selected for publication in the forthcoming issue of the “Proceedings of the Iowa

TO THE EDITOR TO THE PRESS-NEWS JOURNAL In 1947, I was in Woodward, Oklahoma in the wheat harvest when a tornado hit. We did not have the elaborate tornado warning system we have now. Many were killed. Now, even with the systems we have, in Joplin, Mo., last year 139 were killed. Why? Not many in Joplin had a storm shelter. I have an idea. Why not install a black plastic box about 2’x 6’x’ 5’? This is big enough for your family and can be installed in the crawl space under your closet. If you’re building a house, put this right into your blueprints. A livestock water tank is about 2’x 4’ square at a cost of about $100. A similar black molded one piece shelter should cost about $200. In an already built home, this box could be made in five pieces- four pieces and a floor that can be bolted or snapped together. Cut your hole in the floor of the closet in wood construction. Saw the cement in a slab floor
construction. The most dangerous type of home during a tornado is a mobile home. For each mobile home, this one piece black “peace of mind” molded shelter could be easily buried right outside the mobile home. Water tight, tornado proof, with a hinged and vented lid. The “peace of mind” black tornado box could be rebated by our federal government. This could put more people to work with plastic companies. The insurance plan I have cannot be measured in dollars, but in lives in the future that could be saved with my black tornado box. We all should make two uses of the closets in all homes in the U.S. Smile, maybe we can make a peace of mind better day in the future. Let’s begin. My motto, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Heck fire. The Missouri Hillbilly Poet Russell Heindselman

Culver-Stockton Theatre Department presents Assassins
Tuesday-Thursday 9 am to 6 pm Friday, Saturday, and Evenings by appointment

3/29
The Theatre Department of Culver-Stockton College will present Assassins, opening March 29. This bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny production is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written and is rated R for language and adult content. This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee
Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and in an intense final scene inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream. The March 29 opening performance will be staged at 7:30 p.m. in the Mabee Little Theatre inside the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center. Additional performances will be held March 30-31 at 7:30 p.m. and April 1 at 3 p.m.
Pulitzer Prize winner headlines CulverStockton’s Kraus Lecture Pulitzer Prize winner and former Culver-Stockton College student Mark Konkol will be the featured speaker March 28 during the annual Kraus Lecture. Mark Konkol is a reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize. Konkol and fellow Chicago Sun-Times journalists Frank Main and John Kim received the highest honor bestowed upon journalists for their work on a three-part series focused on a deadly, April 2008 weekend in Chicago. The series, published in July 2010, investigated the culture of fear, street code and legal red tape that complicated the police investigation into, what remains, one of the deadliest single weekends in Chicago’s recent history.
The Kraus Lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. inside Merillat Recital Hall inside the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center on the campus of CulverStockton College. This event is free and open to the public. The Kraus Lecture corresponds with CulverStockton’s annual Young Writers’ Conference, which will be also to be held on March 28. The Young Writers’ Conference invites area high school students to take part in writing workshops and competitions, as well as have their worked critiqued. For more information on the Kraus Lecture or the Young Writers’ Conference contact the C-SC Admission Office at (800) 537-1883.
Delta Dental has Program at Highland Elementary Tooth decay, the leading chronic infectious disease among children in our nation, causes pain and can interfere with a child’s ability to eat, speak, smile and concentrate, and has the potential to affect one’s systemic health. To help combat this issue, Delta Dental of Missouri is educating and inspiring children to adopt healthy life habits and help them better understand how their dental health and overall health go hand-inhand through its upbeat, interactive, traveling Land of Smiles program. The 2012 tour made a stop this week at Highland Elementary, where 201 children were inspired by the entertaining performance. Before the end of May, two separate “Land of Smiles” casts will collectively teach more than 70,000 students at over 300 schools in 90 counties across the state of Missouri about the importance of taking care of their smiles, eating healthy foods and exercising regularly. The “Land of Smiles” show in Lewis County featured Tooth Wizard and his sidekick Panda. The pair got the children excited about brushing and flossing properly and visiting their “best friend,” the dentist. He also discussed what foods are good and bad for teeth and overall health, and the importance of eating right, exercising daily and making healthy choices. The Tooth Wizard and his friends engage and educate audiences by demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques, discussing good and bad foods for teeth and reinforcing the importance of visiting the dentist at least twice a year.
The Tooth Wizard came bearing gifts for the students. After the show, the nurse received a Land of Smiles curriculum kit that can be used to help reinforce the good oral health messages of the show in the classroom. The fun treasure chest included a mouth model and large toothbrush, four children’s books, a sing-a-long CD and a Land of Smiles DVD. Each child is also sent home with a “smile bag” from Delta Dental packed with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, an educational coloring sheet and a mirror decal reminding them to brush twice each day. “Dental disease is 100 percent preventable,” commented David Haynes, president and CEO of Delta Dental of Missouri. “All you have to do is stick to the dental health basics. Over the past decade, our Tooth Wizard, Panda and PlaqueMan characters have not only reached over 700,000 children with this important messaging, they have inspired change. We are proud to be improving the oral health and overall health of the communities we serve.” Haynes added, “Through our Land of Smiles program, we reach children of all social and economic backgrounds, but we put particular emphasis on reaching children who live in rural communities where families may have less access to preventative care. The program, in its entirety, is provided to schools free of charge.” To learn more about this program, have your child’s teacher, principal or school nurse call 888383-0008 or visit www. deltadentalmo.com.

We’re your Shield. We’re your Shelter.
Nathan Kessler of Lewistown recently graduated from the Lewis County Drug Court program. Lewis County Adult Drug Court is an 18-24 month program that was established in 2005. Treatment courts transform addicts into productive citizens, helping break the cycle of addiction. When a court diverts someone to the drug court program, that individual pays a monthly fee. The court orders random drug testing, regular meetings with Probation and Parole, individual and family meetings with a counselor, and group treatment meetings. Participants are required to complete high school education or GED, seek and sustain full time employment (If not employed community service is in place until individual receives job). A recent university study projected Missouri will save more than $7,800 per offender per year by using treatment diversions, such as drug courts, rather than incarceration. Missouri’s drug court division graduates have only a 10 percent relapse rate, compared with a 42 percent relapse rate within two years for offenders who are sentenced to prison. The Lewis County Adult Drug Court congratulates Nathan Kessler on his achievements and wishes him continued success in his sobriety.

COMMUNITY NEWS LaGrange News By Myrna Hoteling
March Madness came to a small school population 110. This was 1950 when the La Grange Eagle boy’s basketball team won all their season games and advanced to state. Although they were eliminated the excitement was contagious all through the school. A wonderful memory for all old timers who still remember. Our fantastic five were Delbert Murphy, Tom Miller, Vic Gragg, Wesley Maiers and Lloyd Leach II. While visiting her son in Arizona, Nancy Howe spent Monday with Bernie Smith in Scottsdale. Mrs. Smith formerly of Taylor, splits her time between Scottsdale and Quincy. Raymond and Bessie Stambaugh enjoyed a visit and dinner with their granddaughter Kim Schneider and Brock in the Stambaugh home. Larry and Maxine Wolfmeyer and Alice Solter visited Eric Wolfmeyer at his home in Iowa City, Iowa. That evening they attended the meeting of Iowa City Quilters Guild where Erick was the guest speaker. His media program detailed how his quilts gave a history of his life. Erick is donating a portion of his speakers fee and quilt sales to Smile Train.
Charlie Peek, a long time resident of La Grange thought potatoes should be planted on St. Patrick’s Day, no matter what the weather was. This year, weather would be more agreeable. Dorothy Logsdon continues to slowly recover from her broken leg that happened two months ago. Phyllis Heindselman returned from spending time with her son Matt and family in Washington. Upon her return she took her husband, Russell for one day surgery. He is home and doing well. Repair work on the roof and ceiling at the La Grange Christian church left needed spring cleaning to the interior. Several men and women gathered Saturday to clean the sanctuary. Teresa Stahl attended a bridal shower for her granddaughter Kelley at Plainsville, Ill on Sunday. Week visitors in the Stahl home were granddaughter Robin Ginther, Kaedan, Marlowe, and Ossie from Marion, Ill. Overnight guests were Debbie and Russ Reiter and Nick. Pat and Richard Cottrell’s granddaughter, Teddy Neil of Palmyra, attended MO-AK District of Key Club International 65 annual district where Teddy was chosen Lt. Governor of district 4.

R.D.Pape of Colony and Nancy Shouse attended the Sausage and Pancake Supper in Colony on Friday night. They had a good group of people that attended. Pat Shultz and Nancy Shouse are still looking for old country school pictures and information for
the books that are going to be published when the information is completed. Pat and Jerry Shultz of Rutledge met “Sam” Corbin of Macon at Brians to listen to Ronald Sayres band play but Ronald wasn’t there this time, might have been sick. LaVeta Wolter took Nancy Shouse to her doctor appointment on Thursday and did some shopping . Looks like we are going to be mowing grass real soon. It sure is getting green around here. All this sunshine is making it grow fast. Guess that’s better than lots of snow.

Wildcats settle for split with Harris-Stowe Wildcat Softball
Photos by Sabrina Sparks
Baseball Cougar Tyler Olson reaches for a flyball during the game against South Shelby. The Cougars lost 9 to 5.
The Culver-Stockton College softball team settled for a split with Harris-Stowe State University on Friday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Canton, Mo. The Wildcats captured the first game 10-0 on the strength of a one-hit shutout by senior pitcher Victoria Sendejas. However, the Hor-
nets took advantage of some shoddy fielding by the Wildcats in the nightcap to claim a 7-2 victory. In the nightcap, C-SC (2-6) jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a fielding error by the Hornet left fielder on a ball hit by Emily Orf. Birk and JohnsonMartin, who opened the inning with one out singles, scored on the
play. Sendejas, who also started game two, was cruising along on a two-hitter when trouble struck in the sixth inning. C-SC collected seven hits from seven different batters in the game. Orf collected the only extra base hit for the Wildcats, a double with one out in the seventh inning.
blanks HSSU in doubleheader
The Culver-Stockton College softball team used strong pitching performances from Jenny Merrill and Kristy Obert to sweep a doubleheader from Harris-Stowe State University Saturday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Canton. In the nightcap, Obert improved to 1-1 on the season by scattering six hits over 6 2/3 innings. Brittney Miller was called upon to get the final out after Obert tired in the seventh inning. Obert walked one and struck out two. C-SC again got some help from the visitors in the nightcap as the Wildcats plated four runs on the just two hits and three Hornet errors in the second inning to take a 4-0 lead. JohnsonMartin doubled to start the inning and moved to third when Birk reached on an error by the third baseman when she was trying to sacrifice.
Youth Seat Belt Campaign Encourages Teens to Make It Click Seat belts save lives. Over the last three years (2009-2011), 254 teens were killed in Missouri traffic crashes. 75 percent of Missouri teens killed in traffic crashes were not wearing seat belts. In addition to potentially saving your life, wearing your seat belt could have a second payoff. Three hundred winners at high schools around the state will receive a $15 iTunes gift card when they are spotted buckled up. Seat Belt Spotter Day is part of the youth seat belt campaign that kicks off this month. The campaign includes a combination
of education and enforcement. Law enforcement will be out in full force March 15-31 to crack down on unbelted teenage drivers. Under the Graduated Driver License Law, teens are required to wear their seat belt and it’s a primary offense, meaning they can be pulled over solely for not wearing their seat belt. Teen seat belt use in Missouri is only 67 percent, much lower than state (79 percent) and national (85 percent) seat belt use. Visit saveMOlives.com to find out more information. Buckle up and Arrive Alive.

Jack is finally at peace, after a long battle with NonHodgkin’s Lymphoma. He was born October 25, 1952 at Blessing Hospital, Quincy, Ill., a son of Richard R. and Doris L. Tucker Welker. He married Shelia Kirchner on March 1, 1975 at the Shrine of St. Patrick, St. Patrick, Mo. She survives. Jack graduated from Canton R-V in 1970. He looked forward to and enjoyed each 5-year Class Reunion to visit with all of his classmates. He farmed most of his life until his health would not let him and was a Grader Operator for Lewis County Highway from 1989-2010, in which he took great pride and joy. Jack was a fighter. He fought a battle for 36 years against Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He was the 2009 Lewis County Relay for Life Hero of Hope. He was definitely a hero. He went into the Catholic faith, March 1991, at the Shrine of St. Patrick, St. Patrick Mo. He was a member of the Monticello Masonic Lodge 58 Monticello, Mo., and a past Volunteer Fireman for the Williamstown Volunteer Fire Dept. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren and family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, five uncles, Arnold, Floyd, Franklin and Virgil Welker and Virgil (Bud) St.Clair, four aunts, Thelma, Zelna and Ann Welker and Dorotheann St. Clair. A Mass of Christian Burial was held March 20, 2012 at the Shrine of St. Patrick, St. Patrick, Mo., with Father Paul M. Hartley officiating.

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

LOCAL SPORTS MO ENERGY TEAM
Wildcat softball splits with Iowa Wesleyan
Submitted Photo The Mo Energy team traveled to Marceline, Mo., Mar. 9-10 to participate in a little round robin tournament between five teams. The team played four games in total, winning against Linn County (56-19), Marceline (28-19), and Brookfield (43-16) but losing to Trenton (35-32). The next tournament will take place in Kirksville Mar. 16-17 and the final tournament is Mar. 24 in Canton, Mo.
The Culver-Stockton College softball team split a doubleheader with Iowa Wesleyan College, winning the first game 4-2, before dropping the nightcap, 4-3, Tuesday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Canton. In the nightcap, C-SC struck first on a single by Johnston and a RBI single by Rachel Dixon for a 1-0 lead. The Tigers finally got some momentum going in the fifth inning with two runs on three hits to take a 2-1 lead. However, C-SC answered in the bottom of the inning thanks to huge throwing error by the Tiger shortstop. With the bases loaded and two out, Dixon hit a groundball to IWC shortstop Andrea Bury who through high to first, scoring Rhea Hobson, who had walked, and Megan
Harper, who had reached on a fielder’s choice. But the Wildcats gave those two runs right back to the Tigers in the sixth inning, committing a fielding error and a throwing error that led to two unearned runs. Sendejas was also the only Wildcat to collect multiple hits, going 2 for 4 in game two. C-SC is scheduled to play this weekend, Friday and Saturday, March 16-17, in the David Fillmore Memorial Tournament at Evangel University in Springfield, Mo. The Wildcats are slated to play GrandView (Iowa) at 11 a.m., Rogers State (Okla.) at 12:45 p.m. and Greenville (Ill.) at 6 p.m. on Friday. All games will be played at the Meador Park Softball Complex in Springfield.
Wildcats sweep C-SC Softball Benedictine to open HAAC Slate Fillmore Memorial Tournament
The Culver-Stockton College softball team completed play at the David Fillmore Memorial Tournament by splitting two games on Saturday afternoon in Springfield, Mo. After losing to the University of Arts and Science of Oklahoma 12-0 in their first game of the day, the Wildcats rebounded nicely with a 6-0 victory over Judson (Ill.) College. In the victory over Judson, Jenny Merrill hurled another shutout for the Wildcats to improve to 5-1 on the season. Merrill was complemented by Rachel Dixon, who was 1 for 1 with two RBI. The Wildcats (8-9) return home on Tuesday, March 20, to face St. Ambrose University in a doubleheader at the Cotton Bowl. First pitch is slated for 4 p.m.
The Culver-Stockton College baseball team opened its Heart of America Athletic Conference schedule by sweeping a doubleheader from Benedictine College (Kan.) Saturday afternoon at Nichols Field. Benedictine broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning on a leadoff double by Sean O’Grady and a RBI single up the middle by Aaron Molinaro. With the bases loaded, Poland then unloaded another wild pitch that caromed toward the Wildcat dugout. The ball never entered the dugout and Eric Crawford, running for Hogan, and Cramsey raced home with the winning runs and an improbable victory.
In game two, Benedictine jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning after O’Grady walked and Molinaro hit a long home run off C-SC starter Eric Burton. Hogan then walked on a borderline pitch to load the bases, and Cramsey made it hurt with a bases-clearing triple to right-center to all three runs. The Wildcats collected six hits in game two, all from six different players. Schwartz and Hogan scored two runs each. The Wildcats (6-11 / 2-0 HAAC) will play a nonconference doubleheader against Bethel University (Tenn.) on March 18, at Nichols Field. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
Canton All District Players The local players chosen for the All District Boys Basketball team are Nick Janney for the first team and Brandon Berhorst for the second team. Garrett Serbin received an honorable mention.
