Enbridge, a crude oil transportation company, has aimed to build a 600 mile long oil pipe which will intersect with Lewis County. Although the company is currently in the process of applying for land permits and discussions with property owners, if everything goes as planned, the pipeline will go through the lower east corner of Lewis Co. near Maywood and Taylor. “It’s usually a two or three year process, even before the first shovel hits the soil,” said Lorraine Little, Sr. Manager, US Public Affairs. The project is called the Flanagan South project. The current pipeline station (called Flanagan) is located in Pontiac, Ill. There is already a pipeline in place called the Spearhead pipeline which runs from the station in Pontiac to Cushing, Okla. “At the moment, our Spearhead pipeline is at full capacity which means that it is transporting 115,000 barrels per day. The new line will allow us to transport up to 600,000 more barrels per day,” said Little. The oil that is being
shipped through the Spearhead pipeline comes from Western Canada and also from the Bakken Oil Formation in North Dakota. “The people in North Dakota have tapped into a huge source. Every time they drill a hole they’re coming up with a lot of oil. The problem is that they are constrained by transportation,” Little informed. The pipeline will be made of X70 carbon steel and will be at least 1/2 inch in thickness. Thickness will vary depending on the location of the pipe. As a protection, it will also be covered in a green rustinhibitor. “The pipeline has to comply with lots of regulations from Federal to Homeland Security,” said Denise Hamsher, Project Manager. Once the pipeline is in place, there are stations set up at intervals to monitor and fix any issues that might come up with the pipe. “DOT requires an inspection every five years. We actually do inspections every three years to insure the safety of the pipeline,” Don Verdun, explained. Verdun is responsible for operating and maintaining the pipeline. “The usual problems we run into are loss of communication, little abnormalities, etc. Occasionally there will be instances where we
have corrosion and have to move the pipe or even cut a piece out.” Verdun also covers the security of the project of which he explained follows several national standards from multiple federal agencies. The company also has plans to assist in whatever environmental damages that may occur during the process of construction. “We have a sort of motto. If we tear down a forest to put our pipeline down, we go plant the same amount of trees somewhere else. If we disturb a wetland, we try to reclaim another wetland. There have even been instances where our digging has created habitats for animals and insects,” Hamsher described. For more information, residents are encouraged to visit http://enbridge. com.

Horses draw youth to ranch activities BY DAN STEINBECK Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Those attending the ranch activities pick out a horse. Stansberry coaches them about safety rules, brushing the horse, getting to know the horse, and teaching them to saddle it. “I get the horse ready to ride and lead it around the arena. I teach them how to hold the bridle as I lead them,�Stansberry said. There are other lessons given, should any of the youth desire to own their own horse. “They have to scoop poop,� she said. For those too fearful of riding horses – her daughter Mandy included – there are crafts to do. Mandy helps entertain the non-riders. The ranch is open from 4-7 Mondays through Thursdays, with Monday nights reserved for “Youth for Truth� teenissues bible study. Weekends are used for fundraising. Some youth have become Christians attending the Bible study. “I have a lot of faith and hope that it (the funds) will come in every month,� Stansberry said. The costs include food, nutrition, ferrier services, and other horse-raising related costs. “Jeff helps by working. I quit working to do this and God increased his pay miraculously,� Stansberry said. There is no charge for the ranch activities, but donations are welcome. “The biggest joy to me is when kids want to come back and bring their friends. This is like a dream come true,� Stansberry said. A seven-person board oversees the ranch. Son Valley is located off Route H in Clark County, north of Canton on U.S. 61, and blacktop to ranch signs, then to a gravel road. For more information, go to the blog sonvalleyyouth ranch.blogspot.com, email sonvalley@mchsi.com, or call Photo by Brianna Bartlett 1-660-754-1509. The photos above display the girls from Son Valley Youth Ranch doing many of the activities
A rural Canton woman is living her dream hosting people at her family’s Son Valley Youth Ranch. “I always wanted to have a ranch, while I was selling Herbal Life products. I especially wanted to help people with special needs,� said Dona Stansberry. “Through the years I put it on the backside.� At age 48 she and her husband Jeff found property in Clark County, but carrying a rural Canton address where they could raise their horses. “I didn’t know what I would do with this, but God was already putting it in place. My daughters said it would have to be with horses or something,� Mrs. Stansberry said. A Bruce Wilkinson book about living out dreams gave her the courage to go ahead. On a Focus on the Family radio broadcast, she heard about Crystal Peak Youth Ranch in Colorado. As she pulled into the parking lot of the Hy-Vee store in Keokuk, she cried and listened. “It was exactly what I wanted to do,� she said. In 2010, she went to a clinic at Crystal Peak to learn how to run such a ranch as a non-profit. “We adopted neglected horses and those horses that needed a home. I have eight horses now,� Stansberry said. Son Valley Youth Ranch was a name concocted by the family once during a sunset tour of the farm. Jeff suggested spelling sun “SON� to reflect the connotation of Jesus being the son of God. In the spring of 2011, Son Valley Youth Ranch opened, and in the first year, 100 children signed the guest register. An all-girl camp out drew 22 girls ages 9-12. Most of those attending the ranch activities so far are girls, but boys and adults are welcome. “My goal is to plant a seed in their heart to keep them off the streets. That’s where God is leading me – to get the youth out here and share Jesus with them.,� at the ranch such as leading the horses on a bridle, corralling them into a pen and shovelling horse manure. Stansberry said.

Spurgeon Secures Spot on the US National Jr. Team
No deal. That’s the latest word from the realtor trying to sell the Saturday Store Building on behalf of the Canton Community Betterment Group. According to CCBG Chairman Joe Clark, a realtor for United Country Wallingford Group of Quincy, said the efforts to sell the building on-line fell through. The on-line
auction was April 25. Clark was told a lone bidder from Maryland, who was bidding in the $20,000 range had changed her mind. THE CCBG was seeking $50,000, but Clark said the group might be willing to settle for less. Clark said the next step is “two-fold.” First, the broker will go back to contact several area parties that initially expressed an interest in the building, and secondly, the CCBG itself is pursuing possible local
buyers. The two-story building was home in recent years to the Saturday Store, a clothing and general merchandise store from local vendors. But the building was the long-time Canton Public Library building. Clark said in recent years, there has been extensive remodeling of the building. The building was given by former Culver-Stockton College President Dr. William Fox and his wife Lynn
to the CCBG after they left town. Previous efforts to raise at least $6,500 in local private funds to use the building for a community center, were also unsuccessful. “We’ll have our monthly meeting May 10 at 5:30 p.m. at the Lewis County Historical Society, and no doubt it (the Saturday Store Building) will be on the agenda again,” Clark said. “Anyone wanting to turn it into a community center needs to step forward.”

EDITORIAL THIS IS LIFE
The ultimate Tabloid TV tribute show BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com
There are some TV programs with news-ertainment (a.k.a. celebrity gossip). If TV programming wasn’t sad enough, sometimes they do salutes to the latest dead star, and rehash the details including tearful 911 emergency calls for days, or maybe weeks if parlayed well. How about this for Tabloid TV? It would be the ulti-mate show in honor of (pick a number between 50 and 9,999) of the all-time greatest now dead enertainers. It can include Dick “Teenager” Clark, Mike “Bulldog” Wallace, Whitney “Drugs” Houston, Elvis “Drugs” Presley, Michael “Drugs” Jackson, Marilyn “Pinup” Monroe, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., Ray Charles, John “Beatles” Lennon, Rosemary Clooney, W. C. Fields, Davy “Monkee” Jones, Steve McQueen, Natalie Wood, Irene “Granny” Ryan, June Carter Cash, Bea Arthur, Minnie Pearl, Walt “Mickey Mouse” Disney, Liz Taylor, Peter “Onemore-thing” Falk, Barry White, Jack “Violin” Benny, Momma Cass Elliott and a whole bunch of others. Be sure to include people of one-hit wonders, people who were famous for being famous, and little-known “ band members. It could be the marathon of remember and weep celebrity tribute shows. To make the show last even longer - who ever gets tired of hearing
STEINBECK of Jimi Hendrix death – let’s include unresolved rumors about each of them. Teasers can say things like this “Things you didn’t know about the death of Ed McMahon,” or “the never-before-told story of the last days of Barbara Billingsly, or “what really happened to John Forsyth?” Sponsors could include manufacturers of facial tissue who could sell their product by the case, video rental/sales companies who could sell stars old productions, and colognes and perfumes promoted by stars before they were dead, even if such frangances are no longer commercially available. Maybe the TV program can have a big time auction house advertise who sold the goods of some of the stars. Or we can just continue to drudge up a star’s death every few weeks, with a new interview from a family member, maid, body guard, or neighbor.

Southern interior design at its best and worst BY BRIANNA BARTLETT EDITORIAL ASSISTANT brianna@lewispnj.com
If there were one house that I believe is beautifully decorated, it would be my grandmother’s house. She has really put a lot of time and effort into making her house into what I believe is the perfect Southern home. Her house was built in 2002, so it is not actually an old home, but while picking things out for her home she chose some small elements that made it appear to have that antebellum flare. Unfortunately, I could never design a home quite like this. Not only because I’m not very gifted in the interior design department, but also because it is ‘too nice’. Being a mother, all my design ideas have to be baby-friendly. I chose a dark colored couch that won’t show up stains as easily, our coffee table has rounded corners, we have a huge baby gate surrounding the television, and our end tables are actually ottomans that double as toy boxes. Considering everything, I believe we have a relatively beautiful home. Our walls are light and airy, like often seen in Southern design, and the colors through out our house are earth-toned, also a Southern element. It’s not my grandmother’s house, but it looks like a modern Southern home. In determining what all we would have in our house though, my husband and I didn’t always see
C Y
BARTLETT eye-to-eye. I have yet to see a magazine of Southern Living that showed a home that had camouflage in it, nor have I seen one with deer, turkeys, fish, etc. hanging from the walls. As my husband argued the idea with me, the more I took my stand. “I am not going to have dead animals hanging from my walls.” Finally, our argument was laid to rest when I agreed that he could decorate his “man cave” (the basement) however he chose. This isn’t to say that I’m against hunting, or displaying ones ‘trophies’ for people to see. To be honest, animals on the walls just creep me out. I feel like they are staring at me, plus, they’re just a bit too ‘country’ for my tastes. I love being Southern and I love most everything about Southern design, but I believe the woods behind our home should stay behind our home-not in the house.

Monticello resident Burrell Smith recalls his time in World War II BY RITA COX REPORTER rita1@lewispnj.com
Burrell Smith of Monticello learned in October of 1943 that he had been drafted. World War II is raging overseas. Many Americans are losing their lives in the war effort. Franklin Roosevelt is President. Gas, food, and other essentials are rationed. The Pentagon building is completed and becomes the world’s largest office building. The Great Depression is still a recent vivid memory and most Americans are still struggling.. Smith was operating the gas station in Monticello when he got the notice he was going into the service, He had two weeks to sell the business and get everything in order. He was expected to be gone for at least 18 months. His basic training was in Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis from October to December. He remembers how cold it was, they slept in tents, with a pot bellied stove for heat, that constantly threw sparks. Someone had to be on fire guard at all times so they wouldn’t catch on fire. In December of 1943 he was sent to Fort Logan in Denver for clerical school. He said he had barely even seen a typewriter, but when the army wants you to do something, you do it. He arrived on a Tuesday and they closed the school on Friday. He was then sent to New Mexico to Camp Luna. He sent for his wife, who didn’t like it there, so she came back home as he prepared to go overseas. At Newport News, Va., he boarded the U.S.S. Felix Grunde and headed to North Africa. He was in the Air Force attached to the Army, as there wasn’t a full Air Force at the time. As a man of small stature, he said he was a little too short for pilot training. One week out at seas, the ship hit something, like a mine or something that caused damage, so they had to stop at Bermuda for repairs. That was the first time Smith had ever picked a ripe banana from a tree. They traveled in a convoy of ships and while in route, he would notice
the sun would be in different places each day, the ship would purposely go in different routes to avoid detection. They arrived in North Africa and when going through the desert, he spotted boats, and thought how strange a sight, amid all the sand, until he realized the ships were going through the Suez Canal. Smith was stationed at John Payne Field in Cairo, Egypt. His job was as a billet and clerical duties in the adjunct office He would find lodging for service personal or visitors coming to the base. When finishing orders, they would heat wax with a candle to seal the documents. While in Cairo, he received word that he was a father, his daughter Ruth Ann had been born. The telegram had arrived in one day, but it took six days for him to get the message. He passed out cigars and celebrated with fellow soldiers. . His daughter was 13 months old before he got to see her in person. His wife wrote almost every day, but the letters would come to him in bundles. There would be weeks without anything, then he would get a big bundle of letters from home, which brightened his day. The base where he was stationed was a staging point for aircraft and supplies. One day famous movie actor, Gene Autry, the singing cowboy, came through. Autry was a pilot. Smith said he was a very nice, down to earth guy, who would sign autographs and tell the men about current events happening in the States. Harold Parsons, a friend of Smith’s from Monticello, came through the base, after he had just received a letter from him. Smith called his mess sergeant friend, who fixed Parsons up with a great meal. Smith met movie star Pat O’Brien and tennis star and model, Jinx Falkenberg, They came to the base as part of the USO shows and Smith was called on stage to perform a skit. He got autographs and pictures of the stars. The entertainment was meant to keep up morale. He tells about the city
of Cairo. The country was poor, but there were also many riches to be seen. There were lots of shops and open air markets, with people carrying animals to sale or trade. People mainly traveled by donkey and carts, horses, camels or other various animals. There were vehicles on the roads, but a lot of them were military units. As a county boy, never out of the states, or even the surrounding tri-state area, Smith said he saw some wonderful sites, that he had mainly just read about. They had a jeep assigned to their squadron, and although he didn’t abuse the privilege he and his buddies were able to use it for some sight seeing. When he first saw the great pyramids, he wondered “How did they do that?” The site had a few tourists, but nothing like the attraction it is today. They had close access, standing and posing on the pyramids. Smith was always interested in photography, and had been taking pictures since the 1930s. He usually always had a camera with him. He was able to get his film developed in Cairo. He took many amazing pictures which he keeps in a scrapbook. As a man of faith all his life, he really enjoyed traveling for some rest and relaxation and being able to visit Christ’s Tomb. He had his picture taken in front of the tomb. He walked in the Garden of Gethsemane. They were told the olive trees standing there were bearing fruit during the time of Christ. He walked the Via dolorosa, a street in the city of Old Jerusalem, said to be the path Jesus walked, carrying his cross, on his way to his crucifixion. This was very meaningful to Smith, as he was a Sunday School teacher, and still attends church in Monticello every Sunday. He also swam in the Sea of Galilee. Smith is a Mason and he and other Masons also serving in the army would get together. This was the only time officers and enlisted men associated with each other. They couldn’t really have a formal meeting, but they would meet to have lunch and listen
to a speaker. One such speaker was an Egyptologist who explained things about Egypt, the history, how the pyramids were built and other things about the culture. He had some good times, in the service, but always thought about his family back home. Everything was rationed, a smoker at the time, he would trade his beer rations for cigarettes, which costs, forty cents a carton or four cents a pack. Smith recalls a Sargent Prentiss, who was with him through basic training and they were stationed with each other through their times overseas. In boot camp, obstacle course training included scaling a large wall. Smith was shorter than most of his buddies, but Prentiss would bend down and let him step up on his back to help make the climb. Burrell Smith saw lots of troops come through his base, and says he was very fortunate to have not seen any combat. Most troops were on an 18 month rotation, but usually service time lasted two years. Of course, everyone was happy when they heard the war had ended. Smith came back to the states on the U.S.S. Cristobell. He learned he was to be discharged. He and buddy, Willard Dance, who would later work with him at R.E.A., went to St. Louis and had a big steak in celebration. Smith clearly remembers his time in the service and his adventures overseas. He went on the Honor Flight to see the memorial in Washington, D.C., with his son, Bill. His two grandsons also flew to D.C. to share the experience with him. Highland elementary students raised funds to send him, John Sharpe and Wayne Welker on the Honor Flight, which he said was a wonderful experience and encourages every veteran to take the trip. He is also grateful to the students for selecting him to go on the flight. Burrell Smith is a lifelong resident of Monticello, and will celebrate his 94th birthday on May 2.

BUY LEWIS COUNTY Sponsored by
Capps Variety Store at Fourth and Lewis Street has been a fixture in downtown Canton since 1933, during the time when the Lock and Dam 20 was being built, and during Canton’s period of economic boom. Ginny and Jim Oliver are third generation owners, having purchased the business from Ginny’s step- father and mother, Robert and Mildred Capps in 1980. A devastating fire occurred in 1978 and the business was rebuilt in the same location. Capps Variety Store offers small town friendly service and has in stock thousands of items, including greeting cards, toys, sewing and craft supplies, health and beauty aids, cleaning supplies, unique gift ideas, decorations for holidays and parties, office supplies, cell phones, satellite TV, picture framing and many other items too numerous to mention. The current store was built in 1982, adding Capps Office Supply. A wide variety of office supplies are offered and anything not in stock, is available the next morning and the company delivers. Services also include imprinted envelopes, forms, stampers, engraving and sign making. They also sell ad specialities, such as names imprinted on pens, etc. They purchased the building at 401 Lewis, across the street, and that became The Christmas Shop, which has some of the best Christmas bulk candy in the area. Anything anyone could need for Christmas can be found in the store. In 1990 they purchased the Frame Shop from Bruce and Sherry Zenge. The business does quality framing of pictures, posters,
Capps Variety Store
awards, mementoes, or anything else that deserves special attention. Cell phone sales and service began in 1995. Capps teamed with US Cellular, starting out selling the bag phones. Now they offer US Cellular phones, with the special service only a hometown business can offer. The business also is a dealer for Dish Network. The store has been part of the industry’s history of moving into the vast offerings of satellite and internet service. Ginny and Jim Oliver said, “We really try to treat all our customers as family, the way things used to be. We care about people and we are happy to be here in the community.” Jim and Ginny have been a
part of the business community for over forty years. Like most small business owners, they always work six days a week and try to accommodate their customer’s needs. Mrs. Oliver said that in the early days, the Canton business community would stay open on Saturday nights until 10 p.m., so that farm and working families could come and shop or go to the movies. At Christmas time there was a decorated tree in the middle of the intersection of 4th and Lewis. Ginny started working at the store while she was in high school. She met Jim Oliver while in the service and stationed in Atlanta. Jim Oliver is from Boone, N.C.
They have seen many changes during their years in business and when Highway 61 opened, they knew their business and the downtown area wouldn’t have as much traffic as before, so they have always tried to change with the times, and offer a “one stop shop” experience. Ginny Oliver said Culver-Stockton College has always been an integral part of the community’s culture and growth. She said their presence in the community has lifted Canton’s standard of living and the college has always been supportive of their business. They also appreciate the families of Ayers Oil Company and Janney Builders, who just like Capps, have multi-generations that have continued to serve the county and have adapted through the changes the years have brought. Ginny Oliver said, “We have been blessed through the years with generations of customers who appreciate having our style of local customer service, we ring up your sales, put your purchase in brown paper bags, count your change back and help you carry your purchases to your vehicle. From putting batteries in watches, adding contacts to your cell phone, or finding a special item. We attempt to be supportive of all our community’s activities and have enjoyed watching babies grow up and bring their own babies and grandchildren to The Capps Store.” Capps is open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended hours during the Christmas season. The phone number is (573) 288-3021.

COMMUNITY NEWS NECAC to host public hearing on 11-county housing rent-assistance plan The not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) will host a public hearing on its five-year annual plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded Section 8 Housing Rent-Assistance Program for residents of 11 counties, including Lewis Co. The hearing is at 10 a.m., Thursday, May 10, at the NECAC Community Services Office at 815 Business Highway 61 North in Bowling Green, next to the NECAC Pike County Service Center. The annual plan and public hearing are part of the contract requirements NECAC has with HUD, and describe NECAC’s administration of the Section 8 program. The HUD Section 8 rent-assistance program allows NECAC to make full or partial monthly rent-subsidy payments directly to participating private landlords on behalf
of the income-qualifying families and individuals. The tenant then pays the remaining balance of the rent directly to the landlord on a monthly basis. NECAC provides the qualified applicants with a list of all local landlords who participate in the program. The qualified applicants are responsible for making landlord contact, applying for and signing an annual lease. Preference will be given to families who live or work in the 11 counties. Proof of residency must be provided at the time of application. Acceptable forms of proof are Social Security/SSI award letter, check stubs, current bank statement or utility bills. For more information, call the appropriate NECAC County Service Center or the NECAC Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program in Bowling Green toll free at 1-866552-5560.
SEATBELT AWARENESS AT CANTON R-V
Photo by Andrew Redmon
On Monday, April 23 Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant Brent Bernhardt brought along a crash simulator to help demonstrate the impact of a five mile per hour crash to Canton R-V high school students. The students were able to get into the car seat, strap on a seat belt, and ride down the roller coaster like contraption to experience the impact. In all of the traffic fatalities in Missouri well over half of them are due to the fact that the persons inside the vehicle did not have a seatbelt on. Sgt. Bernhardt went on to say that about 80 percent of Missourians use seatbelts, but Missouri State Troopers are looking to increase that number.

Speed Limits Lowered on State Routes in City Limits of Canton Motorists traveling on Business Route 61, P and 16 in Canton should prepare to slow down. MoDOT will lower the speed limit from 35 mph to 25 mph through most residential areas throughout Canton. Installation of the new speed limit signs will be scheduled in May, weather permitting. Motorists should be alert for the change in the speed limit signs and lower their speed accordingly when the new signs are installed. The change is being made after MoDOT conducted a speed limit study and determined it was time to make a change.

Law Enforcement Cracking Down on Underage Drunk Drivers With prom and graduation season here, Missouri law enforcement want to make sure Missouri youth are celebrating safe and sober. It is illegal for anyone under 21 to possess or consume alcohol in Missouri, yet youth make up a significant proportion of drunk drivers causing traffic crashes on Missouri roadways. From 20092011, there were 83 fatal crashes and 233 disabling injury crashes involving an impaired driver under 21. There were 94 people

National Safe Boating Week Is May 19-25 Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, would like to make the public aware of National Safe Boating Week, which takes place May 19-25, 2012. Missouri is rich in opportunities for recreation on its lakes, rivers, and streams. Nationwide, approximately 500 people drown each year from recreational boating accidents. The U.S. Coast Guard statistics show drowning as the
reported cause of death in three-fourths of all recreational boating fatalities in 2010. Of those, 88 percent were not wearing a life jacket. Missouri law requires children under seven to wear a life jacket at all times while on board a boat unless in an enclosed cabin area. Also remember these boating safety tips: Don’t drink while you boat. Schedule an inspection before you hit the water. Check the weather. Know
the forecast prior to going out, and check for changing conditions regularly. In an emergency situation, having a good float plan, which includes someone on shore knowing when you are leaving and when you should re-
turn, is important. Boaters are reminded to contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol using *55 if they need assistance, or observe a boater operating a vessel in an unsafe manner.
killed and 368 seriously injured in these crashes. Missouri has a Zero Tolerance Law; if you’re caught driving with even a trace of alcohol in your system consequences include jail time, loss of their driver licenses, or being sentenced to use ignition interlocks. In 2011 in Missouri, 217 people were killed and 867 seriously injured in crashes involving an impaired driver. For more information, please visit www.saveMOlives.com.
MoDOT Debuts New Local Public Agency Manual The Missouri Department of Transportation has released a new Local Public Agency Manual for transportation. The manual is used by local public agencies to ensure their compliance with federal funding requirements from the earliest concept phase of a project through its completion. The manual, which lives online within Mo-
DOT’s Engineering Policy Guide, was developed in concert with the Federal Highway Administration, local agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, consultants and industry. Improvements include easier-toread text, handy checklists and flowcharts. The LPA Manual may be accessed at: http:// epg.modot.org/index.

Withdrawal of proposed rule dealing with children who work in agricultural vocations The U.S. Department of Labor issued the following statement regarding the withdrawal of a proposed rule dealing with children who work in agricultural vocations: “The Obama administration is firmly committed to promoting family farmers and respecting the rural way of life, especially the role that parents and other family members play in passing those traditions down through the generations. The Obama administration is also deeply committed to listening and responding to what Americans across the country have to say about proposed rules and regulations. “As a result, the Department of Labor is announcing today the withdrawal of the proposed rule dealing with children under the age of 16 who work in agricultural vocations.
“The decision to withdraw this rule – including provisions to define the ‘parental exemption’ – was made in response to thousands of comments expressing concerns about the effect of the proposed rules on small family-owned farms. To be clear, this regulation will not be pursued for the duration of the Obama administration. “Instead, the Departments of Labor and Agriculture will work with rural stakeholders – such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Farmers Union, the Future Farmers of America, and 4-H – to develop an educational program to reduce accidents to young workers and promote safer agricultural working practices.” News released April 26, 2012

Highland Senior JT Gray dives to catch a ball at a Highland baseball game.
Wildcat softball closes season with split against HLGU The Culver-Stockton College softball team ended the 2012 season the way it began, with a split against regional rival Hannibal-LaGrange University Tuesday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Canton. HLGU was helped by a costly Wildcat error in winning the opener 1-0. However, the Wildcats rebounded and behind the bat of Victoria Sendejas and the arm of Jenny Merrill went on to win the second game 3-0. In game two, the Wildcats grabbed a quick 1-0 lead on a leadoff solo home run by Sendejas to start the second inning. That’s all Merrill would need as the senior right-hander, who took the loss in game one, blanked the Trojans the rest of the game. Rhea Hobson and Kristen Johnston crossed home plate in the third inning to give the Wildcats their 3-0 victory over the HLG. The Wildcats complete the first season under first-year Head Coach Aron Potter with a 15-24 overall record, eight wins better than last season.
C-SC Freshman leads HAAC Women’s Golf Tourney Culver-Stockton freshman Megan Miehe will carry a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Heart of America Athletic Conference Women’s Golf Tournament at Hail Ridge Golf Course in Boonville, Mo. Miehe, of Davenport, Iowa, carded a seven-over 79 to finish three strokes in front of Avila’s Mattie Willmore, who shot a 10-over 82 on the par 72 course. The second and final round will be held on Tuesday. Miehe’s round helped the Wildcats card a team score of 367, which is good for fourth place in the six-team field. The Wildcats are 11 strokes behind tournament leader Avila, which carded a 356. Baker (362) and Peru State (364) are second and third, respectively. Graceland (389) and Central Methodist (400) sith behind the Wildcats in fifth and sixth place.

Wildcat softball closes season $ 7,999 with split against HLGU The Culver-Stockton College softball team ended the 2012 season the way it began, with a split against regional rival Hannibal-LaGrange University Tuesday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Canton. HLGU was helped by a costly Wildcat error in winning the opener 1-0. However, the Wildcats rebounded and behind the bat of Victoria Sendejas and the arm of Jenny Merrill went on to win the second game 3-0. In game two, the Wildcats grabbed a quick 1-0 lead on a leadoff solo home run by Sendejas to start the second inning. That’s all Merrill would need as the senior right-hander, who took the loss in game one, blanked the Trojans the rest of the game. Rhea Hobson and Kristen Johnston crossed home plate in the third inning to give the Wildcats their 3-0 victory over the HLG. The Wildcats complete the first season under first-year Head Coach Aron Potter with a 15-24 overall record, eight wins better than last season.
