College to host housing summit in June Ideas on ways to make the American dream of home ownership a reality for more people will be the focus of this year’s Tri-State Workforce Housing Summit.

Registration is required by this Friday, May 25.

The Summit is Thursday, June 7, at CulverStockton College., and is sponsored by the North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) of Bowling Green, Mo., Two Rivers Regional Council of Governments of Quincy, Ill., Iowa State University Extension, University of Missouri Extension, the Canton Tourism Commission and NeighborWorks America.

Registration is from 8-9 a.m. Programs and speakers are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a complimentary lunch provided. Registration is required by this Friday.

“The goal is to educate elected government and economic development officials about the resources available to them for workforce housing in

their communities,” said Carla Potts, NECAC Deputy Director of Housing Development Programs and an organizer of the summit. “We want them to take home the idea that there are innovative things being done that we can all learn from and that can put more of our neighbors into quality housing.”

Topics will include improving profit margins, cost-effective construction, creating new housing opportunities, developing better contacts in the housing market, energy-efficient houses of the future, finding partners to make projects a success and improving the quality of life in area communities.

The event is an outgrowth of the Tri-State Development Summit, a group that has held nine regional conferences since 1996 in an effort to discuss common issues and solutions in 35 Missouri, Illinois and Iowa counties.

Housing is one of 10 steering committees that meet and report to the summit.

Newcomer appointed to Lewis County C-1 Board

BY DAN STEINBECK Editor dan@lewispnj.com

The Lewis County C-1 School board opted not to go with experienced board members in filling a vacancy May 9.

Jamie Brennan was elected by a 4-1 vote, with board member Tina Abell absent.

Brennan, the Highland Athletic Booster Club president beat out nominees Terry Faulconer and Donna Collier, both who previously served on the

board. Brennan is a twotime unsuccessful candidate for the board.

The board had two vacancies after the resignations of Harry Scifres and Robert Reed Miller in February of this year after acknowledging they voted for employee contracts that benefited family members, which is against state law.

Miller had run for reelection in April, but was defeated. Brennan will serve a one-year unexpired term of Scifres.

The meeting will be held from 8 to 9 p.m. in the Boulder Lake Campground, near the shower house. Representatives from the park and other staff from the Division of State Parks will be on hand to answer questions and discuss the current status of the park. The public is invited to share C Y

BUY LEWIS COUNTY

MCKENZIE AUTOMOTIVE

John H. McKenzie, who is better known as Jr. McKenzie, is the owner of McKenzie Automotive and Garage at 105 N. Elm Street in Lewistown.

Junior began his career in 1958 working at the John Deere dealership in Lewistown which was owned

by George Nichols. After serving in the Army in January 1960 he started his own business which was a garage and service station.

The business was located where Lewistown Senior Housing now stands. In 1962 he moved the business to where the Fire station is now located. He left Lewistown for a short time in the late 1960s to teach high school vo-tech in St. Charles. Returning, he opened up a station in

the same location and later bought property owned by Mackie Johnston and has been there ever since.

At first McKenzie operated just a garage and rented the front part of the store to Virgil Neisen, who sold Belarus tractors. In the mid 1970s he opened the parts store that continues to do business today.

The operation has always been a family business, with his wife, Nina, helping with the bookkeeping and management and his sons operating and managing the parts store. His son, David, worked in the family business and now owns a Car Quest store in Glasgow, son Joe manages the Car Quest in Quincy and now his son, Steve, manages the store in Lew-

istown. Steve McKenzie is also the mayor of Lewistown. Daughter, Tammy also works in the office and parts store as does son Jake. Jerry McKenzie, Jr.’s brother, has been employed for many years at the business. Early mornings at the store, employees and customers can be found discussing world events and the latest local news. In the small town of Lewistown, they know their customers, what they need and how to help them. They enjoy meeting new customers.

They know their customers depend on them to keep their autos and machinery operational and if a mechanical problem arises,

they can find the solution.

Jr. and Nina McKenzie have nine children, 27 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. They are members of the Queen of Peace Catholic Church.

Jr. McKenzie has seen a lot of changes in his years of service to the community. Computer technology has changed the way cars are serviced. It makes it easier to diagnosis a problem but you have to have the diagnostic equipment to do the job. Cars run longer than they used to with the modern fuel injection system. A car engine used to be good for only 100,000 miles, but now if a person takes care of their vehicle,

NOTICE

The Lewistown Cemetery is requesting your assistance for those mowing the cemetery grounds. Because small items, broken ornaments, glass, ceramics, etc. can easily be picked up by lawn mowers, hit and propelled by weed eaters and create an unsafe condition for those who are mowing and trimming the cemetery grounds, the Lewistown Cemetery Association is requesting that all decorations, but especially those made of glass, ceramics, resin, pottery, clay, hard plastic, etc. be removed from the cemetery grounds before July 1, 2012. Your cooperation and assistance is greatly appreciated.

they can last over 300,000 miles. Farming season used to be a busy time for McKenzie Garage. Now they still have farm customers, but the amount of small farmers has sharply declined, as it has all over the country. Service stations used to provide light mechanical work, but most of them now, just sell gas and convenience items.

McKenzie Auto offers service and repairs for autos, trucks and tractors and lawn mowers. The auto parts store is an Auto Plus store which is a registered trademark of Uni-Select.

They carry a wide selection of automotive supplies and parts, and anything not

in stock can usually be ordered with quick delivery to the store. The business specializes in hydraulics, filters, batteries and other automotive supplies. They also make service calls.

Hours are Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The phone number is (573) 497-2705.

The McKenzie family is grateful to the community for all of the support through the years and look forward to serving all their customers and being a part of the community for many years.

THIS IS LIFE

The ultimate cause of death - living

Pictured are the students and the school teacher of the Independence school. The year is unknown, but it is estimated to be 1912.

The oval photo is of that years’ school teacher, Johnie Andrews.

BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR dan@lewispnj.com

There are all kinds of products now with recalls, because, even though a product has been used for decades, someone finally got hurt or killed, and so the product is modified, or warnings are given to only use said product when wearing a full suit of armor, or something like this.

Medicines have been on the market for years, and some laboratory rat determined that if you take gallons instead of, milligrams of the dose, bad things could happen to you. Suddenly, medicines now in use are pulled or the legal disclaimers become longer and more boring (and at times more dangerous) than the worst of country preachers.

If someone eats too much of the wrong food, (defined as having too many calories, too much fat, two many sugars, or too much flavor) terrible diseases will inflict you body. For the record, too much of good foods - say a dozen eggs twice a day - or a prune-only diet will also do bad things to you.

Yet to cancel recalls, or insist on more stringent manufacturing standards, or less harmful food, will put lawyers out of work.

At the risk of further

STEINBECK sounding morbid, think about this. The vast majority of causes of death are someone living life. Statistics will likely bear this out. Anyone who has ever been born is more likely to die and be known to have died, than the majority of those people who were never born.

Further consider this, legislators who played with real china tea sets or lead-painted metal play sets with sharp edges, now have a hand in banning unsafe toys.

People involved in product safety now likely grew up in an era before mandatory auto booster seats. Yet these policy makers lived to adulthood to tell about and pass “safer” rules.

The intent on all the safety measures is to preserve life. But in living, nothing totally eradicates the eventual end.

SOUTHERN STYLE

Southern Fashion… shoes are a staple

BY BRIANNA BARTLETT EDITORIAL ASSISTANT brianna@lewispnj.com

I recently discovered that fashion trends in the South are much different than those in the Midwest.

Ultimately, everyone wears the same type of clothing such as a t-shirt and blue jeans, but there are some differences. Apparently, we Southerners are much more obsessed with what we wear on our feet.

One of these trends are Yellow Box flip flops.

My grandmother called just yesterday to inform me that she had bought a pair for me. Yellow Box flip flops are decorative, cute shoes, but they are also expensive. Being the penny-pinching Scrooge that I am, I wouldn’t give more than 15 dollars for pair of sandals. Yellow Box shoes can cost anywhere from 20 to 30 bucks a pop. Sometimes they are even more expensive depending on where you buy them. To me, this is an outrageous way to spend money, but to all the other Southern women I know, Yellow Box flip flops are as much a necessity as having a Vera Bradley purse.

Another trend that is more popular with the younger crowd are Sperry shoes. These shoes look a lot like “loafers” to me, but the comfort level of these shoes are hard to beat. Once again, these shoes are pricey, and although I do own a pair that I enjoy, I bought them for

BARTLETT

half-off.

The latest trend that has come to my attention is that of Toms. Tom’s are shoes that resemble ‘flats’ that appear to be made out of a canvas material.

The great things about these shoes are that they are not only customizable, but with every purchase, a donation is made to people in need. The original, not customized shoes are about 45 dollars. I can’t speak on the comfort level because realistically, I can pay my gas bill with the cost of these shoes. Personally, I’d much rather have my hot water.

Perhaps it’s the simplicity of the people around this area that have truly caught my attention and respect. The people in this area haven’t heard of these shoes for a reason: because they’re smart enough to spend their money on something slightly more worthwhile than a pair of shoes.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal May 24, 1987 There are a lot of factors why the Lewis County Commissions are asking voters for a .19 general revenue levy increase. With federal revenue sharing money no longer available, the county is pretty much on their own for supporting itself and maintaining the current services. The revenue sharing, of which $85,110 was approved in 1986, has been eliminated.

A $5,477.69 balance for 1987 was an apparent final carry-over for the fund.

The Canton Lumber Company will hold a grand re-opening this weekend, with a new name and greatly remodeled quarters. The business will now be known as Moller’s Building and Home Center. The same personnel are being retained, but the interior of the building has undergone updating and improvements.

It was a question and answer session between teachers, board, superintendent, and also the public at a special meeting Monday at Highland.

District teachers presented a list of questions to the board and superintendent under the categories of concerns and general school climate, policy and procedures, and goals for the future. Not all of the 40 questions were answered at the meeting.

45 Years Ago The Press-News Journal May 25, 1967 Dr. Fred Helsabeck, president of CulverStockton College, has announced that David Steinbeck, public relations director, has been appointed assistant to the president, in addition to his public relations assignment.

In-town pipeline con-

struction work for Great River Gas Company has been completed in eight communities.

Natural gas distribution systems have been installed in LaGrange, Knox City, Monticello, Arbela, Luray, Medill, Granger, and Ashton.

Crews are presently working in Canton, Edina, and Lewistown.

Gael Cooper won second place in the Mahan Journalism Award at the second annual Honors Day Program at CulverStockton College. Judy Logsdon won first place in Mahan Short Story award contest and Betty DeWitt won the freshman biology achievement award.

50 Years Ago The Press-News Journal May 21, 1962 Commencement exercise for the Canton high school graduating class were held Thursday night, May 17, in the high school gymnasium, with Richard DeCoster, Canton attorney delivering the address.

The Honorable Harry Truman, former President of the United States, will be among the dignitaries who will be in Bowling Green Saturday, May 26, at the Kickoff for Senator Ed Long. Designated as Ed Long Day, there will be a parade in the afternoon, a barbecue at 6:30 p.m. and the big speaking and rally at night.

Everything is in readiness for the Sidewalk Bazaar in Canton on Friday and Saturday, May 25 and 26. The first Bazaar was held last fall on a one-day trial basis and it was so successful that it was decided to make it a two-day affair this year.

75 Years Ago The Press-News Journal May 27, 1937 Because it was the first co-educational university west of the Mississippi

River, Culver-Stockton College honored women in the commencement program. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered by a woman; the commencement address was also delivered by a woman; and only women received honorary degrees. The class of 1887, composed of only women, received recognition.

For 84 years, CulverStockton has stood for the equal educations of the sexes, but not until today has a woman ever received an honorary Doctor’s degree from the institution. Upon Mollie G. White, will be conferred the degree of Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) for her achievement in mathematical science. The degree Doctor of Science is a new degree for C-S to confer since it has never been given until today. Miss White who will receive this degree is a graduate of Culver-Stockton, class of 1913. For a number of years she has been head of the department of chemistry in Stephens College, Columbia.

Elmer Wiesemann, 19, narrowly escaped death while three horses he was driving were killed when struck by a bolt of lightning while plowing on the George Wiesemann farm near LaGrange Monday.

The young man was rendered unconscious for a short time.

Harry Penick of near Bunker Hill and Miss Blanche Frame of Ten Mile were married Monday. They will live on a farm near Bunker Hill.

85 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal May 27, 1927 Wednesday the contracts were let for the erection of Lewis County’s new infirmary. W.R. Odor of Canton was the low bigger for the erection of the building, his big being $41,440.

105 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal May 31, 1907 Attorney Leslie Edwards of LaGrange came out Monday to fight the saloons, or in other words to keep them from getting licenses, but the court granted both saloons license, and LaGrange will for another six months, be washing in the blood of the devil.

Dr. Z. T. Knight of Benjamin was in Monticello Monday. Dr. Knight has just recently got a diploma from the Keokuk Medical College and is prepared to prescribe for most any disease. He is located at Benjamin and will answer calls both day and night.

Chas. Haskins and wife of LaGrange were in town Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Haskins was soliciting funds for the new Southern Methodist Church to be built in LaGrange.

95 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal May 25, 1917 L.H. Condit and W.T. Graves attended the IOOF Grand Lodge in St. Louis this week and the former had the pleasure of seeing his son, Rev. F. W. Condit, made grand chaplain of the Order of Missouri.

125 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal May 27, 1887 Dr. J. B. Marchand is fitting up an office in the room just west of the bank to treat nervous cases by means of electricity; and to treat lung troubles by means of pneumatic differentiation.

Canton Kiwanis Club raised over $1600 for the Canton Parks and Recreation Commission’s development of the city’s 5 parks with Kiwanis’s Project Playground. All proceeds from the annual Kiwanis Pancake Day as well as donations from a performance by the 4th Avenue Jazz Ensemble went to Kiwanis Project Playground to help finish installation of equipment in Central Park. Club president Patti Meldrum presented incoming Parks president Eric Barkley with a check at the May 15th Kiwanis noon meeting at Comfort Inn.

Tammy McCullough was the lucky winner of the Canton Civic Club’s Birdhouse Drawing. The beautiful birdhouse was donated by a generous, local craftsman, who wishes to remain anonymous.

What should I do?

You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.

What does this mean?

Disinfection Byproduct (DBPs) are formed when chlorine combines with naturally occurring organic matter in the water. Disinfection is necessary to inactivate harmful microbes, such as bacteria and viruses, which may be present in untreated water. Regulated DBPs consist of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and Haloacetic Acids (HAAs). The MCL is based on long-term exposure of drinking two liters (about two quarts) of water every day for seventy years. Some people who drink water containing TTHMs in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidney or central nervous system, and may have an increases risk of getting cancer.

What happened? What is being done?

An aggressive unidirectional hydrant flushing program will be implemented and the Chlorine injection point will be moved allowing less Chlorine to be injected.
