BREAKING NEWS UPDATES AT
MINOR THREAT WAS CONCERN TO C-1 PATRONS BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
Lewis County C-1 Superintendent Jackie Ebeling confirmed there was a social networking minor threat the district dealt with several weeks ago. Ebeling said administrators evaluated the threat of the girl, and determined the threat was made apparently out of frustration in a relationship issue, and wasn’t a true threat. The unspecified threat was apparently not against the school or against the whole student body. However, before administrators could finish their investigation, there was rampant concern in the C-1 district. “The rumors circulated through instant messaging faster than we could handle it,” Ebeling said. Administrators though did do locker checks and talking with students, pulling them out of class to talk to them. The unidentified girl was given inschool suspension, and was shortly afterwards injured in an accident that has kept her out of school.
ENTITIES SEEK TO CONTINUE ROAD TAXES BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
Lewis County officials say it’s key to the County budget for a road and bridge tax to be continued. Proposition R seeks to continue a three-eighths of a cent tax for County roads and bridges. “Even in the little bit of time I’ve been in office, I see it as vital for the upkeep of County Roads. It is designated for that purpose,” said Lewis County Presiding Commissioner Wayne ‘Fid’ Murphy, Jr. Murphy said this fund is one of two taxes for County roads. In 2011, it brought in $219,900, but in 2010 brought in about $206,000/ Murphy said the fund is used for rock, some culverts, and some equipment. The tax, which was first passed in 1989, is voted on every four years. The City of LaBelle is also seeking to continue an exzisting street tax of .35 per $100 assessed valuation. City officials say it is necessary for the city budget to be able to ontinue street maintenance. The LaBelle tax also is voted every four years.
FFA AUCTION The Canton FFA Alumni is holding its first consignment auction to raise money to help support the Canton FFA Chapter. Commissions from the sale will go to the FFA Alumni. This money will be used for scholarships and also to assist the chapter during the year. The Canton FFA Chapter will be serving food and selling sausage and potatoes. Sale will be held by Sullivan Auctioneerson March 31 at the Caldwell Building west of Canton on Hwy 16.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT SEEKS TAX LEVY INCREASE BY RITA COX REPORTER rita1@lewispnj.com
The Lewis County Health Department is asking voters to approve a tax levy increase on April 3, 2012. After operating at the same ten cents tax rate since 1953, the Health Department is facing issues with rising costs of supplies and other expenses. Funds gained through the levy increase will be used to cover the continued maintenance and operation of the department. The Lewis County Health Department provides many vital services to the county, not only for individuals who use the facility, but anyone who lives, shops or eats in Lewis County. The Department provides many environmental services that include food safety inspections at restaurants, grocery stores,
senior centers, schools, motels, child care facilities, and temporary food stand inspections. They also conduct food service training, animal bite investigations, food recall follow-ups and many other services to keep residents of the county safe. Other services provided include WIC (Women Infant and Children) program, immunizations for both children and adults, blood pressure screenings, a variety tests including pregnancy, TB, STD, blood sugar, hemoglobin and others. More and more people are using the health department for doctor ordered tests, which are less expensive than having them done at a doctors office or clinic.

C-1 School District to resume summer school plans BY DAN STEINBECK Editor dan@lewispnj.com
After a two-year hiatus, Lewis County C-1 Schools will again offer summer school programs. Superintendent Jackie Ebeling said the school would run from May 29 to June 22. “It will be full days and we’ll provide breakfast, lunch, and transportation,” Ebeling said. The summer school will include the Art Trek, a fire-arts related enrichment, which will also include something Highland can’t offer during the school years – swimming lessons. The regular summer school will
focus on math and reading. There will also be Jump Start Kindergarten, to acclimate students who will enter kindergarten in the fall. “In recent years, DESE – the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education never got confirmation from legislators until May that funds would be available. We start planning our summer school in February,” Ebeling said. “This year, we are confident we will be funded.” “Educationally, it will benefit our kids. We (C-1 district) are not in it to make money. Fortunately, we will have the money,” Ebeling said.
Two hurt in crash, one driver is charged Two LaBelle women had injuries and one was charged after a two-vehicle accident in LaBelle. March 20. Tonna M. Cantell. 20 of LaBelle was a passenger in a 1994 Ford Ranger pick-up truck driven by Danielle E. Boatman, 24 of LaBelle. Cantrell had apparently moderate injuries and was taken by Lewis County Ambulance ot Blessing Hospital. Boatman had apparently minor injuries, but refused treatment at the scene.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Boatman’s Ranger failed to yield and pulled into the path of an eastbound 2001 Chevrolet Traverse driven by Mary Howerton, 32 of Hurdland. At 8:30 p.m. There was moderate damage to both vehicles. Boatman was charged with driving wile intoxicate and failure to yield. The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office and Lewis County First Responders assisted the Patrol.
EDUCATION It is our school’s job to educate every student every day school is in session. To achieve this we need to equip our highly qualified staff with all the technology and core curriculum possible. As a board member, I will do my best to provide staff with the necessary tools, keep class sizes small and provide a safe enjoyable environment for learning. I will also encourage public comment and community input on how our school is governed, unlike some of my opponents who have tried to silence our voice. When elected I will do my best to represent the students, staff and taxpayer of our district. I encourage people to attend board meetings and become involved. Together we can make a difference. I would be happy to talk to anyone about our school issues and to set the record straight about issues that my opponents seem to be making up. A vote for me would be a vote for an honest independent school board member.

LEWIS COUNTY C-1 SCHOOL BOARD Neil Jennings I’m Neil Jennings. I am a lifelong resident of LaGrange. I am a 1987 graduate of Highland and a 1991 graduate of NWMSU with a BS in agriculture. I am married to Kelley (Heins) Jennings and have three daughter that attend our schools – Jenna, Morgan, and Leah, and I regularly attend activities in both buildings. I am co-owner of Jennings Brothers farms and Jennings Brothers Trucking where I am heavily involved in management. I have served on several board and committees and currently serve as Chairmen of the Board of Elders at St. Peters Lutheran Church in LaGrange; delegate for MFA Oil Company; Trustee for Durgens Creek Water Shed; and serve on the Lewis County Farm Bureau Board. I have also obtained 16 hours of essential board training required by the state to serve as school board member. I am running for the school board to help lead our district into the future and give our children the best opportunity for
education. I would also like to get more family and community involvement in the district. I am an openminded independent person who cares for the students and staff of our district. I would like to see 100 percent of our graduating students either employed or enrolled in some form of higher education, either college or tech school. To achieve this we need to give our highly qualified staff all resources possible. As a school it is our job to educate every student every day school is in session.
Donna Collier My position on the school board is to work for constitutes. I am supportive of teachers as they are the ones that are the direct contributors to our students. Our students are our most important product. My position is not to make the life of administrators easier, but to make them more effective in seeking means to assist our students to be more productive. I believe in keeping the taxpayers truthfully informed. I’m inquisitive and I research ways to help the children of Lewis County become more effective, independent, and self-sufficient towards developing them into resourceful adults. I’m honored by the past Lewis County voters who elected me to set school policies. I hope you feel that I will continue to honestly represent you in the future. Recently, I asked for a place on the agenda for parents, teachers, students, and board members to comment in the open meeting. Schools throughout the state allow this on their agendas and it makes for better communication between parents, students, teachers, administrators
and board members. I believe in input from the community, teachers and students for the betterment of our school. This was almost removed this year from the agenda and I presented substantiated information showing this could still be incorporated in the board agenda, so you as taxpayers have the right to speak to the board in open session (without mentioning names of teachers, parents or students) about concerns that you may have. You still have a voice if you want to be heard.
E.H. Smith Last year I was elected to a one-year unexpired vacancy on the Lewis County C-1 Board of Education. I am now running for a three-year term. I am a past teacher and administrator of the district with the last 25 years as Transportation Supervisor and the last 10 years I was responsible for the budget. As board members we hire a superintendent and set policies. We aren’t to micro-manage the day-to-day operation of the school. We are fortunate to have the administrators and staff that we have. They are all about kids and what is best for them. We have an excellent school, being recognized for the past six years as a School with Distinction in Performance. It was announced by DESE (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) that 84 percent of the schools did not meet AYP (Annual Yearly Progress). Lewis County C-1 was in the 16 percent who made AYP. Our DESE area supervisor announced their goal was that Missouri Schools be in
the top 10 percent of schools in the nation and Lewis County C-1 is already there. Our district is financially sound. We don’t need to cut programs and staff during this economic down time. It is the school’s responsibility to provide the best education we can in the safest environment possible. If these accomplishments are important to you, I would work with our superintendent, principals, and staff to make sure we continue on the right track to prepare our students for the future.

Instead of using this opportunity to share how many years I have been serving on the school board, how many hours I have dedicated to our school, how many school organizations I have volunteered for; I want to share my vision for our school district. I am proud that not only my wife and I graduated from Highland, but that our four children graduated from this school, prepared and ready for college. I want the same for all the children who come through the doors of Lewis County C-1 schools. I want all of our children to leave our school as confident, productive individuals. I want teachers to be able and equipped to teach with excellence, I want our administrators to lead with pride. I want this
community to be one in which young families choose to live because of our s c h o o l ’s excellence. I can’t do this by myself. It will take all of us. If you vote for me, I will do my best to see that these goals are attained. Together we can change the future of Lewis County children.

Candidate Profiles for April 3 Election LEWIS COUNTY C-1 SCHOOL BOARD Jamie Brennan As you may know I, Jamie Brennan, am a candidate for election for Lewis County C1 School Board. In my eight years as a volunteer, and as current president of the Highland Athletic Booster Club, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with many of our students, teachers and parents. During that time I have found a passion to become more actively involved in our school and community. I have learned that listening to many points of view goes a long way
towards having an understanding of the issues we face. I am a firm believer in high academic standards, accountability, and fair and impartial decision-making. I will work with the Highland community. As your Board member, I will do all that I can to help our students prepare for the challenges that await them in life. Our students are our number one concern and our number one asset.
EWING R-4 FIRE BOARD Tom Stark My name is Tom Stark. I’ve been married for 27 years to my wife Laurie. We have raised three sons and live in rural Maywood. I served actively in the US Marine Corps for four years. I have been an active member of the R-4 Fire Protection District for 23 years, and have served various positions such as firefighter, assistant chief, medical officer, and now paramedic lieutenant. I have owned and operated Stark Construction from 1987until present. I am also a Nationally Registered Paramedic and work for Marion County and Lewis County Ambulance Districts. I teach first responder and CPR classes for our department and for the community. My grandfather Fred Stark was one of the original founders of the R-4 Fire Protection District. If elected, I plan to continue to support and train our fire personnel, as well as continue to strengthen the first responder program. Another one of my goals is to
oversee that funds are being used responsibly for the purchase of equipment and training in order to better serve the community. By doing this, it will insure that the tax payers fire insurance costs remain as minimal as possible. I feel I have the qualifications for the position on the fire board because of my many years of owning my own successful business and the leadership experience I have gained by being on the Volunteer Fire Department.
LEWIS CO. E-911 BOARD - SOUTHERN DIST. Chris Heimer As a current Lewis County 911 Board Member, I have helped update the Policy and Procedure Manual.

We have increased employee benefits to help with turn over. If re-elected I
promise to continue to fight for our telecommunicators and to keep them updated on the latest information and technology they need to do a good job and serve the community of Lewis County. Also being a telecommunicator for another agency I am able to bring in new training ideas and technology to help our telecommunicators provide the best service they can to Lewis County.

COMMUNITY NEWS Condensation plumbing calls come earlier this year BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
Some Canton area people have called plumbers, concerned of what appeared to be leaky pipes. According to Kyle Shannon of KPS, a Canton plumbing company, the leaky pipes are just condensation. “We had half a dozen calls in a week’s time, mainly (people with) concerns with pipes on toilet tanks,” Shannon said. The issue is not uncommon, but the timing is unusual. “It happens when the humidity is up quickly. I usually see calls like this in May or June. It’s un-
usual to happen this early.” Shannon said it’s been 15 to 18 years when he’s had condensation calls. He recalls entering one crawl space where the owner was concerned all his pipes would need to be replaced, but it was condensation. He said some people will see condensation on air conditioner ducts, but some people have insulated the ducts. “On stools, there is nothing you can do, except put a fan near it to circulate the air,” Shannon said. Depending on the weather conditions, Shannon said it might happen again later this year.

EDITORIAL THIS IS LIFE
A PHOTO FROM YESTERYEAR
Sign of the times BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
Recently, one anonymous columnist drove in a large metropolitan U.S. city (okay, it was Quincy, Ill.) and an odd commercially-made road sign was near a school. This yellow diamond sign had a seesaw with children on it in black ink. No letters, just the image. The obvious message to drivers is this: Watch out, because some bozo put a teeter-totter right smack in the middle of the street OR some bozo just routed the road through a playground OR unfair kids playing ahead (someone will always try to suspend a person in the air by sitting on the far edge of the lower seat of a see-saw). A sign with kids playing with a ball is understandable. Children might kick or hit a ball in the street and chase after it. But a teeter-totter? Really? Many playgrounds no longer have these, because of injury threats. Perhaps someone watches for traffic and then when there are no cars coming, drags the seesaw to the street where it is more level and moves it when traffic approaches. There may be several reasons why signs have pictures and fewer words. 1). In our dumbed-down society, the alphabet is so confusing. Couple that with correct pronunciation, and, we’ll it’s as obvious as seeing that American flag on the moon with the naked eye. 2). The older signs that said “SLOW CHILDREN
LaGrange Girls Scouts are pictured after hiding Easter Eggs in 1943. Betty Kramer-Leeser is pictured at far right. Photos courtesy of Betty Kramer-Leeser
STEINBECK PLAYING” in actual words were probably the butt of cruel jokes about mentally challenged children. 3). With texting and computer messages using abbreviated characters, some people might not be able to read complicated phrases such as “SLOW CHILDREN PLAYING.” 4). Maybe it is adults, not just children playing on the playground equipment. 5). Pictures not only help the illiterate drivers (how did they pass the driver’s test?), but it halts that tough question of what language here in the United States of America, the world’s melting pot, do we print the road sign message? Actually the sign is distracting, and itself unsafe. The driver might scan the horizon looking for the seesaw, thus unnecessarily taking his eyes off the road. Or maybe the driver may think “okay the children are safely playing on the see-saw, so they’ll be far from the road.” The columnist is glad he wasn’t driving by a zoo.
SOUTHERN STYLE
Traits of a Southern Woman BY BRIANNA BARTLETT EDITORIAL ASSISTANT brianna@lewispnj.com
The character traits of a Southern woman vary greatly, just like the traits of women in any other part of the United States. Some Southern women are headstrong and business oriented, while others would prefer to stay at home with their childrenbut there are a few traits that really make a Southern woman stand out from all the other women in the country. A good Southern woman always tries her hardest to put God before anything. Nashville, Tenn., is a good example of this. When I last looked at the statistic, Nashville has the most churches per capita than anywhere else in the United States. Southern women like their churches almost as much as they like saying, “God bless your heart.” Although many Southern women do like to dress nicely, most Southern women dress for comfort. Your average Southern woman can be found in the grocery store in a pair of blue jeans and a tee shirt. Flip-flops are an epidemic in the spring and summer in the South, and if it is too cold to wear flip-flops, most women wear sneakers. Certain events may call for high heels and a nice dress, but Southern women usually like their beauty to shine through simplicity.
BARTLETT There’s a common saying “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” This is usually true when trying to “catch” a Southern woman. Southern women like their men as sweet as sweet tea. Holding open doors, calling a woman “ma’am” and addressing her respectfully means the world to a Southern woman- because Southern women, whether home-makers or business women are strong, independent women. But sweet men need to also be strong, hard-working men that are willing to support and defend their families. My favorite trait of a Southern woman is her drive. When a Southern woman sets a goal, she makes a promise to herself to achieve it at all costs. Some make goals to be the best mothers they can be and some set their minds to climbing the corporate ladder. Either way, a Southern woman always seems to reach her goals, no matter the challenge.

FROM OUR READERS TO THE PRESS-NEWS JOURNAL: There was a recent letter to the editor about a really tragic event that happened to two Lewis County C-1 school board members a couple of weeks ago. A letter requesting documentation under the Sunshine Law was sent to the Board of Education and Superintendent on February 6, 2012, from a concerned citizen. This letter requested board minutes, correspondence and other documents with specific dates and matters outlined. This citizen had every right to request this information and is entitled to such since it’s public record. There was absolutely no indication in this Sunshine Law request for documentation that mentioned the desire or intent of any resignations of board members. There was no vote taken by the Board of Education to
force or demand these resignations on February 27...they resigned voluntarily. It’s too bad an effort wasn’t made to gather and research this story before putting it to pen and paper. Why did the writer of the letter to the editor say “...forcing the resignation of these two caring and dedicated men”, but near the end of the letter says that she doesn’t personally know one of them. Was the letter to the editor politically motivated and backed by an unnamed group of individuals who will stop at nothing to ensure that certain people are elected to the board of education, regardless of whether or not they are telling the truth? Leaving out vital information and pertinent details is no way to conduct yourself in person or when corresponding. Sincerely yours, Kim Porter

History of Girls Scouts and Founder Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid. Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts of the USA, was born Oct. 31, 1860, in Savannah, Ga. “Daisy,” as she was affectionately called by family and friends, was the second child of William Washington Gordon and Eleanor Kinzie Gordon. Juliette married William Mackay Low, a wealthy Englishman. Juliette continued her travels and divided her time between the British Isles and America. During the SpanishAmerican War, Juliette came back to America to aid in the war effort. She helped her mother organize a convalescent hospital for wounded soldiers returning from Cuba. Her father, who had been a captain in the Confederate army, was commissioned as a general in the U.S. Army and served on the Puerto Rican Peace Commission. The Lows were separated at the time of her husband’s death in 1905. In 1911 she met Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, and became interested in the new youth movement. Afterwards, she channeled all her considerable energies into the fledgling movement.
She returned to the United States and made her historic telephone call to a friend (a distant cousin), saying, “I’ve got something for the girls of Savannah, and all of America, and all the world, and we’re going to start it tonight!” On March 12, 1912, Juliette Low gathered 18 girls to register the first troop of American Girl Guides. Margaret “Daisy Doots” Gordon, her niece and namesake, was the first registered member. The name of the organization was changed to Girl Scouts the following year. In developing the Girl Scout movement in the United States, Juliette brought girls of all backgrounds into the out-ofdoors, giving them the opportunity to develop selfreliance and resourcefulness. She encouraged girls to prepare not only for traditional homemaking, but also for possible future roles as professional women—in the arts, sciences and business— and for active citizenship outside the home. Girl Scouting welcomed girls with disabilities at a time when they were excluded from many other activities. This idea seemed quite natural to Juliette, who never let deafness, back problems or cancer keep her from full participation in life. From the original 18 girls, Girl Scouting has grown to 3.7 million members. Girl Scouts is the largest educational organization for girls in the world and has influenced the more than 50 million girls, women and men who have belonged to it. Today, Girl Scouts of the USA has a membership of over 3.2 million girls and adults.

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.

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.

The Green Chapel Baptist Church will hold a celebration in Song for Easter following the regular morning service. Phyllis Heindselman had lunch with her daughter in law, Melinda, in Canton on Friday. Thursday she visited in the home of a friend in Quincy, Maureen Willing.

Congratulations Shailee on your sixth year in Girl Scouts (Ewing Troop 9080) and 900 boxes of cookies sold this year! We are so proud of you! Love Mom, Dad, and Codee
Girl Scouting—A Volunteer’s Perspective by Teresa Daugherty I have had the great privilege to be an active Girl Scout for 25 years, progressing from a second-grade Brownie, with the cute little brown beanie hat, to a Senior Girl Scout and eventually a Campus Gold Girl Scout for college students. Yes, at times, it was not “cool” or the “in” thing to be doing. Yes, we were teased for wearing our green uniforms on Thursday, which was definitely not the thing to do in junior high, but my friends and I continued. With constant reassurance from our leaders, we knew that being a scout was worth the hard work and the occasional harassment and disparaging remarks about cookies. I am so grateful to the dedicated leaders who encouraged our troop members to stick it out. Girl Scouting greatly influenced my life and eventually shaped my career. It was through my community service project for the First Class Award (the Boy Scout equivalent is an Eagle Scout) that I became aware of the career opportunities available in the field of library and information management. The additional time I spent working with younger Girl Scouts as a Leader in Training (LIT) stimulated an interest in teaching, with certification in library science. This career allowed me to encourage the love of reading, while working with young people. Perhaps the greatest benefit of the Girl Scout program came later when I volunteered to assist with my daughter’s Daisy Troop. It wasn’t until that time that I truly realized the amount of time, energy, and dedication it takes to voluntarily plan successful, meaningful events. As an adult volunteer, I have had the opportunity to witness first-hand the impact Girl Scouting has had
on the lives of the girls in our troop. Yes, they sold and delivered many boxes of cookies, but we also went camping, assisted with the local food banks, animal shelters, litter pick-up, First Aid/CPR training, establishing a “Messy Night” for pre-school children (which earned the troop their Bronze Award), making presentations to the local city council seeking their approval for a tree planting project which earned the troop their Silver Award; participating in the annual April Showers campaign for personal hygiene items, Relay for Life projects, and various field trips. Many of these “girl led” opportunities developed and encouraged the girls to be active participants in their troop and community; to be more kind and considerate of those less fortunate, and to have the skills necessary to take charge of an event and follow through. These girls are now sophomores and juniors in high school, and have a camaraderie that has survived the ups and downs of high school life. As Girl Scout Ambassadors, they have their biggest challenge yet before them, the Gold Award, the most prestigious award in Girl Scouting. Are they capable? Up to the challenge? Do they have the skills necessary to earn this honor? Yes, they do, because they have developed the character, courage and confidence necessary through the opportunities made possible to them by Girl Scouting. Their legacy and impact on their communities will ensure that Girl Scouting remains a viable organization for another 100 years. Thank you Girl Scout members and volunteers for making the Girl Scout movement such an accomplished organization for the past 100 years, and best wishes for continued success in the future!
Happy Birthday Girl Scouts Pictured are Allison McDaniel, Catherine Daugherty, Teresa Daugherty, Sarah Polett, Mariah Shaffer, Josie Walsh. This is the first Ambassador troop in Lewis County.

In 2006-07 the girls started as Brownies with Becky Thatcher council as Troop 80. The six girls earned 17 badges that year. The second year as Brownies, Becky Thatcher merged with St Louis and we became Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri. The troop number changed to 9080. There were 19 girls and they took the first camping trip to Camp Tuckaho. In the third year as Brownies the troop had 14 girls and earned 18 badges. They also earned their Safety pin that year. In 2009-10 the girls became juniors scouts and began the year with nine girls. Their first neighborhood “Me and My Guy Dance” was held. The troop went to camp Tuckaho again and stayed in “Racoon Ridge”. The second year of Juniors had 9 girls. They held a fashion show at the LaBelle nursing home, had the second “Me and My Guy Dance”, Their first Pinewood derby neighborhood event was held with over 50 girls in attendance. The troop earned the bronze award. This year is their first year of Cadettes and the 100th Year of Girl Scouts. The troop has six girls and a year full of exciting things to do. They attended “Cadette A Girl Scout Troop 9080 Rama” in the summer to prepare for the year. The troop is planning a trip to Savannah GA to visit Juliette Lowe’s birth place and are looking forward to the Big Day in September when we will paint downtown St. Louis green in celebration of Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts is a wonderful program for girls of all ages. The Scouts of Troop 9080 are building self esteem and self confidence. They are learning to give back to the community, neighbors, and the world around them. Each year scouts participate in numerous community involvement projects such as April Showers, donate to local food pantries, support the troops both abroad and at home, and we strive to bring out the best in each other. As Cadettes, they have more opportunities for travel and also more opportunities to give back to the community.

For the love of Scouting
The Press-News asked the girls of the Canton Girl Scout Troop a few questions about being a Girl Scout. The younger scouts all replied about their love of meetings, camping, cookies, and learning new things. The older troops responded with these answers: What was/is your favorite part of Girl Scouting? My favorite part of Girl Scouting was always camping. I loved going to camp when I was younger! –Josie Walsh What has Girl Scouting taught you? To respect people and that if you try hard enough you can do anything. –Mariah Shaffer An old postcard that displays many of the Girl What was/is your most memorable Girl Scout- Scout activities and joys. ing event? Getting the chance to hike a mountain and watch the sun rise over the Swiss Alps is the one thing I will never forget about my time in Girl Scouts. –Catherine Daugherty. What special or unique opportunities did you experience in Girl Scouts that enhanced or had an impact on your life? A special experience to me was when, at a gathering of Girl Scouts in North Eastern Missouri, all the girls were together as an older lady came through the door carrying several heavy boxes. She looked like she badly needed help carrying them, and instead of ignoring her like most people in today’s society might have, the girls almost immediately went up and started grabbing boxes from her and from outside Let our experienced lenders guide you and helped her carry and organize them. Although this through the process to find the right home loan. event may in no way seem all that great, it reminded me that help will always be there when you need it, and no matter what you may experience there is still kindness in the world around you- it’s just a matter of finding it.

TWO THOUSAND TWELVE IS THE YEAR OF THE GIRL
LaGrange Girl Scouts have a long history
Betty (Kramer) Leeser of LaGrange, was one of the first girls in LaGrange to become a girl scout and at age 86 considers herself to be LaGrange’s oldest girl scout. She was a member of the first girl scout troop in LaGrange Her troop was organized in 1940 by Mrs. Ardith Snow and assisted by Mrs. Virginia Ellery in 1940 and was Troop 1. Members also included Betty, Alice Guilfoil, Jane Needham, Nina Greeger, Jane Thomas and Dorothy Leslie. She became assistant Brownie leader under Dora Mae Rice in 1942. World War II was happening so this was during a time of rationing and Victory Gardens. Marjorie Challet took over Dora Mae’s place until she moved in January of 1943. In 1943 Betty and her troop went camping at Oki Tipi, a YMCA camp south of Hannibal. Mrs. Leeser said the troop would meet upstairs in the old city hall building and they had a lot of fun doing projects and other activities. She has kept an article that was printed in the paper about the troop’s activities and when Mrs. Robert Ellery resigned as assistant lieutenant. During the meeting the annual dues of 50 cents were collected. The article also talks about the scout’s appreciation for Mrs. Snow and the work she did in decorating and painting eggs for the Easter egg sale. The girls delivered the eggs and the net proceeds were $7.90. Mrs. Snow was known as an accomplished artist. Mrs. Leeser remembers fun times of hosting the Easter egg hunt in Washington Park for the younger children. Mrs. Leeser later joined the 4-H club and participated in many activities. She
was a charter member of the LaGrange Garden Club where she is still active. She and her late husband Jim, have three daughters. She continues to live in LaGrange. Sharon Branham and her family have close to 100 years experience of being involved in scouts. She and her husband Albert have been leaders and involved in scouting for many years. She became involved when her children were interested in scouting in the 1980s and has continued with her grandchildren. Sharon says scouting has enabled her and many children to do things and see places that they otherwise might not have have the opportunity to do so. They have went on camping trips, St. Louis trips, meetings with other troops, rode horses, worked on badges and had many enjoyable experiences. Branham wanted to say how much she appreciated the support she has had from area businesses and residents. She has also been involved in many many years of cookie sales. She has kept scrapbooks of their scouting adventures and enjoys remembering the fun times she has had with the girls and enjoyed seeing them grow up and using their experiences they have learned through scouting. At bottom right - LaGrange Girl Scouts along with other area scouts celebrated their 75th anniversary in Palmyra in 1987.
Betty Kramer (Leeser) back center is pictured with the 1942 LaGrange Brownie Troop at the old LaGrange City Hall and Fire Station.

CHAPTER 8: Dog Jack, Proud Bullie with Clout
If my brain’s not gone to kibbles and bits, our last chapter was about the Battle of Franklin and a Union Union bullie, which isn’t a term for a schoolyard troublemaker but a nickname for bull terriers.
wounded, remaining by his side until help came. His comrades returned the favor when Jack was struck at the Battle of Malvern Hill, in Virginia in 1862, where he sustained severe injuries. “You can’t keep a good man down,” Walt always says. Those words applied to Dog Jack too. Though he was badly wounded he recovered and a couple of months later saw action at Antietam.
I’d like to introduce you to another, Dog Jack’s his name, and he was spotted too, but brown and white, not black and white like Ol’ Harvey. There’s a painting of Dog Jack, and a nice one at that, in the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum in Oakland, Pa.
his luck ran out. For six months he languished under the bonds of the Confederacy, a prisoner who didn’t give a flea’s saddlebag of information to the enemy. Even in captivity, Dog Jack did the Union proud. The bullie meant so much to his regiment they devised a plan for his release. Dog Jack became the only canine ever traded for a Confederate prisoner. At Belle Isle, the Union handed over a gray coat and got back their patch-eyed f friend Jack. That was May 3, 1863. A six months of being jailed, Jack After w back with his men. was A happy ending would have been nice, but Jack’s tale isn’t the classic Lassie story. While he served another year, J disappeared in Frederick, Md., in Jack 1864, two days before Christmas. Many believed Jack was stolen for the new $75 silver collar the Union guys pitched i to buy for him. in
Now everyone knows the typical firehouse mascot is a Dalmatian, but long before that there was definitive Dog Jack, a firefighter ruffian with a piratelike patch over one eye. Dog Jack entered the Civil War with the Volunteer Fireman of Niagara, Pa.
