A major road closure for bridge replacement in Lewis County will be next month. For several years, the Missouri Department of Transportation have been replacing a number of suspect bridges in the state in the Safe and Sound program. The bridge at Sugar Creek on Route 16 between Canton and Monticello will be replaced starting June 4. This means route 16

will be closed for 49 days with a detour over routes F, E, and A. The project is expected to be completed July 23. This is the third and last scheduled of the Safe and Sound Bridge Replacement projects in Lewis County. A 362-foot bridge over the Wyaconda River on route E northeast of Canton was replaced in 2009. A 137-foot brige was replaced over the Big Grassy Creek west of Ewing in 2011 Statewide, the program started in 2009 with 802 project bridges.

LEWIS COUNTY C-1 SEEKING TWO PRINCIPALS The Lewis County C-1 School District is seeking two principals. Highland Elementary Principal Kurt Malone has resigned to be the school principal at Palmyra. Meanwhile, Highland High Principal Jason Fink has resigned to become the principal at Ballwin Middle School in Quincy. Malone has been with the C-1 district for 14 years, starting as assistant Highland high Principal and later became Highland Elementary. Fink has been with the C-1 district for seven years total on two stints. He was an at-risk teacher at Highland, left for a

time to be athletic director and assistant principal at Canton and then returned to be assistant Highland High Principal and later Highland Principal. Superintendent Jackie Ebeling said the time frame for getting replacements would be determined at the C-1 board meeting this week. The board would also look at the process to seek interviews for the posts. Ebeling said several applications have been received for each position. Other principals still in the district are Highland Elementary Assistant Principal Sue Ann Gaus and Highland High Assis-

tant Prncipal and Athletic Director Larry Post. The board was also expected to decide at the Wednesday, May 9 meeting, to make a decision on a replacement board member for Harry Scifres. The three candidates are Terry Faulconer and Donna Collier, both with previous school board experience, and C-1 supporter Jamie Brennan. Ebeling said the board interviewed the candidates in April, and by board policy, the person is appointed and sworn-in at the next meeting.

Canton Ferry landing improvements to begin in June The Lewis County-Canton Missouri Port Authority has awarded a bid to Boone Construction Company of Columbia, for improvements to the ferry landing on the riverfront in Canton. Boone was the low bidder for a contract to provide a wide steel loading ramp for the ferry and concrete paving leading up to the ramp. The work will be funded through a Ferry Boat Discretionary grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. Contingent upon MoDOT’s approval of the bid, work will begin in June and is estimated to take three months. During the improvements, the ferry will remain open. The $188,000 grant was sought in 2008 and was awarded to the Port Authority in 2010. Initial bids exceeded the grant amount and the plans were revised and re-bid. The primary customer for the Canton Ferry has been the grain terminal in Meyer, Illinois, owned and operated by Ursa Farmers Cooperative (UFC) as farmers take their grain trucks across the river for delivery to the elevator. Ursa Farmers Coop has begun construction on a grain terminal in Canton in an effort to provide its Missouri customers a convenient delivery point for their grain. The UFC has stated their desire to see the ferry stay open and available not only to farmers but also to all those who use the ferry for crossing the river. The Port Authority is working with Senator Brian Munzlinger, Representative Craig Redmon, and UFC to pursue funding to allow the ferry to continue to operate for the convenience of its customers. The Canton Ferry began in 1853 and is the longest continuously operating ferry on the Mississippi River.

Rivers rise after rainy week in County BY DAN STEINBECK Editor dan@lewispnj.com

River levels were up throughout the County after several days of rain last week. Lock 20 in Canton reported 2.22 inches of rain for the week. For the North and Middle Fabius, the rainfall for the week was reported at 1.22 inches. For the Wyaconda River west of Canton, 1.7 inches was reported. Farm Service Agency reported .83 inches of rain for the first week in May.

The river level prompted the National Weather Service to issue a flood warning for the North Fabius River near Ewing, which was to expire May 9. The North Fabius level was 11.34 feet, and up 5.51 feet in the prior 24 hours. Flood stage is 17 feet. The Middle Fabius River level on Monday was 9.61 feet, up 4.34 feet in 24 hours. Flood stage is 13 feet. The South Fabius River

above Newark had a level reading of 6.83 feet Monday, up 3.44 feet from the previous day. No flood stage was listed on-line. The Wyaconda River west of Canton had a Monday reading of 15.36 feet, up 5.71 feet from the previous day. Flood stage is 18 feet. Lock 20 in Canton saw a brief spike in the river level to 11.33 feet May 6, but was rapidly falling. Flood stage is 14 feet.

PNJ Intern Andrew Redmon My name is Andrew Redmon; I will graduate from Culver-Stockton College this May majoring in media communications and I’m Canton R-V graduate from 2008. In college I have been apart of many organizations and groups such as a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, staff writer for The Megaphone Culver-Stockton’s newspaper, station manager of KCSW Culver-Stockton’s radio, and I also do play by play for all Culver-Stockton sports on the radio. I am the son of State Representative Craig Redmon and Brenda Redmon, who runs the Lewis County License Office. I have a twin sister Audrey Barton who is employed at the Bank of Monticello and a brother in-law Luke Barton who recently be-

came a deputy sheriff for Lewis County. I’m also employed with Ayers Oil Company and the United States Post Office. After graduation I am looking to get into the radio business as an on-air personality. One of my dreams is to bring back a radio station to Canton. This year is an election year for State Representative that means campaigning will begin as the summer starts. Helping my dad on the campaign introduces me to several new faces and new organizations. Attending campaign meetings taught me a lot about our District. Another thing I picked up on by being the son of Craig and Brenda Redmon- you will meet and know everyone! When you can walk into a room and know four or five people because of you

parents is a privilege. I have just completed a three-week internship at the Press-News Journal and it was such a pleasant experience. I had the opportunities to write my own stories, take pictures of various events, edited stories, sell advertising, and conduct interviews. Writing for The Megaphone has given me some experience in writing stories; however, working for the Press-News Journal has helped me become more professional in how my stories are written. I would like to thank the staff here at PressNews for allowing me to come in and learn about how the newspaper industry runs. I would also like to applaud this staff in doing a fantastic job with this newspaper.

AL BECK PRESENTS 20TH POETRY BOOK

Photo by Andrew Redmon

Al Beck has produced yet another book of poetry. Al Beck’s Exuberant Efforts is an acronym for ‘a bee’, with bite following the title. The idea behind the title of Al Beck’s 20th poetry book is to sting the reader’s consciousness and make the reader think about the human condition. In between serious ideas, Beck uses word play and nutty rhymes to give deeper philosophies Al has discovered after his 80 years of life. Currently, Beck’s poetry books have subscribers from around the world, and Beck has won multiple awards, including a Missouri award for his poem “Aging Idea”, “Best in Show”, etc. Beck was also put on a list of “200 Authors of All Time That You Must Read” by a college professor in Germany.

LaBelle Board Meeting The LaBelle Board met March 12 with Mayor Larry Hackemack presiding. Minutes from the meeting are edited for the newspaper. A full copy of city minutes can be obtained from LaBelle City Hall. In the mayor’s report, Hackemack advised that the city is still having dogs dumped in the city limits and he will check about getting a portable cage so he can pick up a dog. Pictures will be taken of the old school and will see what can be done with the building starting to fall in places. The City needs to check with the

city attorney about drawing up an ordinance reference horses in the city limits. Unpaid city personal and real estate taxes were reported and is was discussed to mail out notices and to mail the owners with two year back property taxes letters again. In new business, the Board agreed there were no requests for equipment purchases or capital improvements that needed to be added to the yearly budget. It was approved to allow a liquor permit for the LaBelle Rodeo June 6 through June 12.

EDITORIAL A PHOTO FROM YESTERYEAR

THIS IS LIFE

A salute to a true friend of many BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com

Let’s postpone the humor this week. Instead let us remember one of the great cheerleaders for the Canton Community, Donald Eugene Sykes. People’s memories will differ of him. Some remember bowling with - or against him. Even bowling against him, it was as if one had another team member offering support, just wearing the opponents bowling shirt. Some will remember how he encouraged those lost in the military to not be forgotten. He served the Country, then he served his community coordinating the Memorial Day services for years, placing flags on veterans graves, and marching with fellow American Legion Members in parades. Some will remember the businessman, pouring a cherry Coke at the soda fountain, making a Hawkshaw, or selling a roll of film or flash cubes at Don’s Grand Leader. Some will remember his infectious smile as he wore a tall Culver-Stockton blue and white striped hat, perched on a ladder taking homecoming parade pictures and greeting dozens of returning alumni. Some will remember him coming back from mowing the former River Valley Country Club course, with his wristwatch fastened to a polo shirt buttonhole. Some will remember his work for and with youth in the Little People’s Golf Tournament, and likely helped bring the tournament to Lewis County for several years. Some will remember his dedication to church, school, and other community boards. Some will remember his general positive atti-

STEINBECK tude for the community, the college, and whatever role he was currently serving. Some will remember general dedication to Culver-Stockton College and appreciation to his alma mater. Don was an auxiliary reporter/photographer for this newspaper. When commissioned, he made a list of organizations he would cover without pay for them. Hours before the Press-News Journal was sold, and he was told about the upcoming news, he wistfully wondered if any downtown businesses of the community he loved would be around in 50 years. When a community leader passes, there is a fear the town will never be the same. It’s a valid concern, and for the things Don did to continue, someone will have to step up. To continue all of these things, many people will need to step up. Those wanting to do such things because Don would have done them, need to re-think his motive. Don did them because they were right for the community, and we who follow should have the same mind set. Sad as it is to have lost Don Sykes, sadder still is thought of the Canton area never having the benefit of such a community cheerleader.

SOUTHERN STYLE

Air conditioning- the best invention since… ever BY BRIANNA BARTLETT EDITORIAL ASSISTANT brianna@lewispnj.com

Growing up in the South, it’s very rare to find a home without central heating and air, so I was quite surprised to find that many homes in this area don’t have them. I’ve seen many homes with gas heaters and window unit AC’s since my husband and I came here around ten months ago. I’ve only been without central heat and air one time in my life. My husband and I had just made the decision to move in together, and his grandparents had found us an inexpensive place to rent. The house was massive, out in the middle of the country, and practically a billion years old. The only sources of heat were oddly placed gas heaters and a large wood fireplace in the living room and there wasn’t any air conditioning. I was a hostess at a restaurant, and my husband was doing odd jobs for a car restoration shop. Needless to say, we were a far cry from megamillionaires.

C Y

During the winter, we huddled together under all the blankets we could find in hopes to keep warm through the night. We went out into the woods behind the house and cut wood for the fireplace every night so we could sleep in front of the fire. In the summer, I would soak wash cloths in water and stick them in the freezer for a few minutes before applying them to my nearly scorching skin. Because our house was so old, it always seemed hotter in the house than outside during the summer and colder inside the house than outside during the winter. My husband and I still laugh about snuggling together to keep warm. Being without central air made me have such an appreciation and respect for the people who are in the same situation. I don’t understand why central air isn’t a big hit in the Midwest because it’s just as hot here as it is in Georgia, but the people who have chosen not to have air conditioning have chosen that for a good reason.

The LaBelle School was once a thriving place of activity, but has now been closed for several years. Many memories remain of a time when the building was full of children and laughter. This photo was loaned by the Lewis County Historical Society.

HISTORIC FIND During demolition, workers found this tombstone in the basement of the building at 109 South Main in LaGrange. The name on the stone reads Gray, with Joseph F. , Jan. 5, 1889 - Mar. 29, 1967 and Effie, Sept. 28, 1894 and no death date. City officials and Brad Davis of Davis Funeral Home are researching to find out where the stone belongs and how it ended in the basement of the building. Anyone with information about Joseph Gray should contact LaGrange City Hall.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

These Canton teachers have contracts for next school year: Misses Margaret Moore and Edith Louise Eckert, Fremont; Miss Dorothy Constanz, Wyconda; D.F. Uppinghouse, Savannah; Miss Martha Lamb, Edina. 85 Years Ago The Lewis-County Journal May 6, 1927 A barn at the Virgil Wallace home burned Tuesday evening.

A successful term of school at Derrahs was closed April 27. The teacher, Mrs. Carl Jogs-

don, and pupils were none too glad to part from their school days together. Viola Minnerly, Kathryn Risk, Vernon Brown, and Etzel Minnerly have a record of perfect of attendance, while 14 others have never been tardy this term. Rev. W.F. O’Brien was host to a part of young folks from the Queen of Peace School Tuesday, when he took them to Quincy to attend a show. The young folks were Misses Agnes Sheedy, Mildred Logsdon, Elizabeth, Paul and Henry Boudreau. 95 Years Ago The Lewis-County Journal May 4, 1917 Roxie Young and Edwin Bowls of Lewistown went to Hannibal last week to enlist. Bowls was found to be under weigh, and so could not qualify. Bowls reports that Oscar Hamilton and Walter Adams were sent to the Mexican border along with1500 others. Also Ben F. Dixon and J.E. Thompson enlisted in Quincy. Dixon is joining the aviation corps and Thompson to the naval medial corps. W.J.H. Wallace, east of Monticello, has enlisted. He is a young civil engineer and has had two years of military training while in college. The new store opened the doors Saturday out in Williamstown. That evening the people were treated to bananas by the proprietor, Chas W. Hinson The rainfall for April 1917 was nearly five inches. This month went out with a fearful blizzard snow and rain and a cold north wind. Mayor George Martin and three aldermen of Canton, W.B. Hinton, Lafe Barnett and Chas

Buff’s Engraving and More

GPS - Graphic Printing Service GPS, Graphic Printing Service (GPS) at 110 N. 4th Street in Canton is owned by Mark and Jennifer Pegler. The business was once a part of the Press-News Journal and after the newspaper business was sold, the Pegler’s are continuing the printing business in the same location that the newspaper occupied for many years. They have been in the printing business for over twenty years. Any paper product printing is available. Cards, envelopes, state-

ments, pamphlets, NCR forms, business cards, invitations, brochures, certificates or anything their customer’s might need. The Pegler’s enjoy working with their customers and meeting their needs. They also offer free delivery in Lewis County. They recently expanded their business and added more equipment to better serve the area. They have been busy recently with graduation announcements, which can be much more affordable than ordering through the schools.

FARM BUREAU INSURANCE

Calendars for fundraisers can also be created. Family recipe books can be made and treasured by family members for generations. Lamination is also offered. Many of their customers choose to laminate a favorite poem, a relative’s obituary, or other keepsake items. Mark and Jennifer Pegler look forward to continuing their family tradition of serving Lewis County and being a part of the community. Hours for GPS are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, or by appointment. The phone number is (217) 242-7311.

Nancy and Terre Buffington are the owners and operators of Buff’s Engraving and More at 300 North 4th Street in Canton. They bought the business in 2008 and have been in their current location since 2009, where they have recently remodeled and expanded their work space. They specialize in engraving, but the business has expanded to include many other services. Any kind of trophy can be custom designed and can be built to order, with the customer able to chose different features. They do many of the trophies, metals and ribbons for the community, including the Lewis County fair, LaGrange Appreciation Days, ball tournaments, races and other events. They can create trophies from three inches to six feet tall. Tiaras and sashes for pageants or other events are also available.

Thousands of FFA members from hundreds of FFA chapters in 12 states have finished a huge effort to connect with local farmers, and one local chapter has taken home a nice prize for their efforts. The Lewis County C-1 FFA Chapter received votes from local farmers and won one of 80 available at-large prizes in the 2012 FFA Chapter Challenge. As a result, they’ll receive a $1,000 FFA Certificate of Credit to be used for FFA expenses like official FFA jackets, chapter supplies and registration fees for national FFA leadership conferences. The Lewis County C-1 FFA Chapter is located in Ewing, Mo. The Lewis County C-1 FFA advisor is Angie Hamlin.

The FFA Chapter Challenge, a second year program that expanded to 12 states in 2012, challenged FFA members to meet farmers in their local communities to build relationships and learn about different agricultural careers. Voting for the 2012 FFA Chapter Challenge began Jan. 16. The campaigned finished Feb. 29, with over 10,000 votes coming in during the final week of competition. The contest wrapped up just days after FFA members across the country celebrated National FFA Week, Feb. 18-25. An impressive 856 FFA chapters participated in the FFA Chapter Challenge and nearly a quarter of them will be taking home a nice reward

for their hard work. The top FFA chapter in each of the 12 states received a $2,500 FFA Certificate of Credit good for the FFA-related costs, while chapters ranked second

through tenth in each state received credits worth between $1,000 and $2,000. 80 other at-large chapters received credits worth $1,000.

Student Athlete Spot Light: Lucas Brown

Miehe First Wildcat to Finish First Culver-Stockton College freshman Megan Miehe birdied the 18 hole to win the 2012 Heart of America Athletic Conference Women’s Golf Championships at Hail Ridge Golf Course in Boonville, MO on May 1. Leading by three strokes after shooting a 79 on Monday, Miehe carded an 84 for a 163 total on a wet, blustery day Tuesday. Knowing the closest competitor had to shoot at least 80 to beat her, Miehe ended her round with a birdie and then waited

for four groups to finish before she found out she was the winner. Miehe will advance to the NAIA National Tournament on May 15-18 at Links Hill Country Club in Greenville, TN. She is the first C-SC woman to win medalist honors at the HAAC Tournament since the program’s inception in 1998. As a team, the Wildcats placed fourth overall in the six-team event. After shooting 367 on Monday, the Wildcats ballooned to a 383 to finish with a 750 overall and placed third.

high school student there is something else. Lucas Brown, son of Tim and Kris Brown, a junior baseball player at Canton R-V. He was born with Ventricular Spetal Defect or VSD and Pulmonary Atresia. VSD is condition where there is more than one hole in the wall that separates the left and right ventricle of the heart. Lucas has had two open heart surgeries before and a procedure this past March known as Transcatheter Melody Valve Placement. This procedure is to prevent from having to do open heart surgery by going through a catheter into the heart and repair the valve that is in the right ventricle. This type of surgery typically is a four to six hour operation but Lucas was in surgery for

eight. The Browns were able to leave the hospital after the procedure in two days due to this new operation technique. Lucas missed the first seven games of the 2012 baseball season in recovery of his surgery. Since returning to the field Lucas has helped lead his team to a 12-3 record and has been a curtail part of the offense in the Tigers’ lineup. With three games left on the regular season schedule, Lucas and his teammates are looking to go into district play on a winning streak. “I’d like to thank my teammates for being so supportive during all of this, they really helped me out during all of it,” said Lucas. Canton will play Highland and South Shelby for their last away games and will host Adair County at home heading into Districts which start next week.
