Photo by Rita Cox
A crab apple tree at the home of Bob and Georgia Richter, LaGrange, is blooming for the second time this year. The tree bloomed in the spring and a fall blooming is rare. Nearby crab apple trees also have a few blooms and are loaded with crab apples. Mrs. Richter said this is the first time she recalls that the trees have bloomed twice in one year and finds it unusual especially with the extreme hot and dry weather the area has experienced.

MAN COLLIDES WITH SEMI-TRUCK IN LEWISTOWN
BY RITA COX Reporter
On Thursday, August 16, Edward L. Brantley, 71, of Grandview, Mo., was transported to Blessing Hospital in Quincy after receiving apparently minor injuries resulting from a collision with a 1984 Peterbilt semitruck. The driver of the semi-truck, George F. Dodd, 60, of LaBelle, was heading westbound on MO 156, six miles west of Ewing, Mo., when Brantley, driving southbound on Rt. J, failed to stop at a stop sign and was struck by Dodd. Dodd was uninjured and his semi-truck received minor damage, but Brantley’s 1996 Jeep SUV was totaled. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts.

The 22nd annual Matriculation Ceremony kicked off the start of the new academic year and welcomed all new students to campus, as it has for the past two decades. At 4:15 on Friday, Aug. 17, parents and others watched as bagpipers and faculty in full-regalia led incoming freshmen from the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center to the steps of Johnson Hall, where the new students entered their names in the Matriculation book. They then walked through Johnson Hall as the members of the student body cheered them on. Students left the ceremony with a new penny to cast into the wishing fountain on the quad. For more information, contact Heidi Lanier at 573-288-6312 or hlanier@culver.edu. LEFT - The long line of new students walk across campus on the way to sign the matriculation book.

Planning Labor Day Weekend Activities Colonel Ronald Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, would like Missouri’s travelers to include safety when planning their Labor Day weekend. Colonel Replogle strongly urges the use of seat belts when traveling in any kind of vehicle and life jackets when on a Missouri lake, river, or stream. In 2011, 13 people were killed and 443 injured in Missouri over the Labor Day holiday in 952 traffic crashes. One person was killed or injured every 10.3 minutes. Of that total, troopers worked 298 traffic crashes, which included 171 injuries and nine of the fatalities over
the 2011 Labor Day holiday. Troopers arrested 175 people for driving while intoxicated during last year’s holiday weekend. The 2012 counting period for the Labor Day holiday will be from 6 p.m., Friday, August 31, to 11:59 p.m., Monday, September 3. Motorists who need assistance or who witness criminal activity while traveling on Missouri’s roadways can contact the nearest Highway Patrol troop headquarters by calling the Patrol Emergency Report Line at 1 (800) 525-5555 or *55 on a cellular phone.

Blessing Hospital brings new MRI experience to patients Patients in need of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan will have a new experience at Blessing Hospital. The Hospital has installed a new MRI in a specially-designed room, both intended to relieve the anxiety people can feel when having a scan. Blessing’s new MRI from GE Healthcare has a shorter and wider bore than the 10-year old unit it replaces. That means the patient has more room when having a scan, many exams no longer require
the entire body to be in the MRI and some scans can take place feet first instead of head first. The new suite features separate inpatient and outpatient preparation areas, which will improve patient comfort prior to their exams and provide more exam capacity in the new suite. Pending inspection by the Illinois Department of Public Health, Blessing Hospital expects the new MRI to be serving patients by the end of August or the beginning of September.
Culver-Stockton Now Offering Dual-Credit Course for Canton HS Students Culver-Stockton College and Canton High School have partnered together to offer high school students the chance to earn college credit. Students who take and pass Canton High School’s Accounting II in the 2012-13 school year can earn a dual credit for C-SC’s class, Accounting 125. Students must receive a “C” or higher for the course to transfer to the C-SC transcript. The college is very excited about the chance to offer high school students dual-credit and to get them prepared early for school. “Dual credit courses are a great way for students to have an early experience of college-level work and begin making the transition to college even while still in high school,” says Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, Dr. Dan Silber. The high school instructor for the course is Kelly Berhorst, and the C-SC supervisor is Dell Ann Janney. Students en-
rolled in Accounting II will have the same rights on the C-SC campus as non-degree seeking students attending the college, including the use of the library, tutor assistance and admission to campus events. The students will also have access to a C-Sc email and to Angel Online Learning System. If a student is excited about the chance to take dual-credits, but is not interested in accounting, there may be more classes offered in the future. Students enrolling in the dual credit course must have at least a 2.0 GPA in the high school and be recommended by the principal. There is a cost per credit hour and students must enroll in the credits by the dates specified by C-SC for registration and adhere to drop, withdrawal and refund policies in place at C-SC. For more information, contact Heidi Lanier at 573-288-6312 or at hlanier@culver.edu.

EDITORIAL ADVENTURES OF WONDER MOM
1962 AND 1964 LA BELLE HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES
The Benefits Of Organization I’ve spoken several times on the benefits of organization. Now that your budget is organized, it’s time to begin working on your stuff (as in things in your house, car, purse, etc.) Many things done in life are habits, and I’m not talking about nail biting. From the way a person eats their food, showers, puts on their clothes, etc., habits are formed. Once, my grandmother told me of a discussion she’d had with one of her friends. Although my grandmother is a wonderful cook, she doesn’t cook all that often. When she asked her friend how she cooked so often, her friend replied, “I don’t know. I’ve just done it for so long now that I do it without thinking anything of it.” The power of building good habits is incredible. People even build habits to lose weight, so why shouldn’t mothers use this natural human reaction to their benefit? In school, I was told that writing something seven times would make me remember it. Habits don’t exactly have a set number for everyone. Some people may be able to begin working on forming a good habit and achieve that goal in a month. Others may have to continue to work on the same habit for several months to achieve their goal. Every brain works differently, which is what makes us all unique in the ways we do things. When building habits, it’s best to begin with small things. In the first week, choose small areas of your life, such as your purse, underneath the sink, your towel closet, etc., to begin organizing and cleaning. Research multiple ways to use the space in your home to your advantage. Our home has smaller closets, but a very large basement. It was easier for me to only hang my ‘in-season’ clothing in my closet and store the rest in a tub downstairs. Also, my linen closet is very narrow, so I learned a new way to fold my towels and wash clothes so that I could get more towels into the closet at one time. It’s simplistic things such as this that not only give a mother back some of her lost time (from digging through things to find something) but also give her peace of mind. Now, we’ll begin working on day-to-day organization. In your first week, begin in a small area. The first day should consist of cleaning out and organizing your purse. Most women have the tendency to stuff everything but the kitchen sink into their purses, myself included. As a mother, you may need more things in your purse other than a wallet and your keys, so as you’re organizing, ask yourself this question as you look through every item in your purse. “Do I really use this every day (or even a majority of the time) or is this something that I used once and has remained in my purse since?” Depending on the size of your purse, this effort shouldn’t take anymore than 20 or so minutes. For the things that are used on a frequent basis, consider putting them into piles of
C Y
BARTLETT likeness (such as lipstick with lip gloss, etc.) and using inexpensive clear plastic bags to keep them together. Not only will this reduce the clutter in your bag (and your need to dig for everything) it will also keep the items that could potentially spill or melt from destroying the inside of your purse. Spend day two working on your car. Clear out all of the trash and devise a way to efficiently get rid fuure trash in your car that is less time-consuming and doesn’t involve throwing it out the window. One idea I saw was to take an inexpensive plastic cereal container, line it with a plastic grocery bag, and sit it in the passenger floorboard, to act as a ‘trash can’ for the car. Just like a purse, a car can easily be cluttered with useless junk (I’ve even had an entire load of laundry in mine before). Repeating the same process as you did with your purse, ask yourself if the items need to be in your car or if they can be moved into the house. Also, there are organizing items that can be bought in the automotive section of many supermarkets that hang on the back of your car seat and have many pockets to hold the items that need to be in your car. Spend day three organizing your cleaning supplies. I’ve seen several great ideas on organizing these supplies. The two that were my favorites were: using a plastic, over-the-door shoe organizer to store your cleaning products and using inexpensive plastic ‘caddies’ to organize your cleaning supplies by rooms in your home. Spend day four organizing one cabinet in your kitchen. Just one. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself, but you do want to achieve your goal. For my family, we try to put canned items with canned items, etc. Spend day five organizing your bathroom cabinet. This project can be a bit overwhelming, but take your time, ask yourself the important questions, and research ideas that will help utilize the space that you have. (My bathroom is very small, so I only have the beauty products that are used daily in our bathroom. I keep the rest in a clear plastic tub on a shelf in our bedroom.) Spend day six organizing a drawer. It could be any drawer, but keep the principals in mind. Spend day seven gathering together the items that you realized you could live without and place them in a bag or box. Keep them in a place that will not hinder you in your daily routines, and watch the bag grow immensely as we continue…

Lewistown Record. Mrs. William H. Nunn 71, passed away at her home near Maywood, Aug. 16. 95 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal August 17, 1917 Send the Journal to your boy at the Front. If there is anyone in particular who en-
joys the home newspaper, it is the boy who has not been away for any length of time and who has enlisted in the Army or Navy. Attorney Jesse l. Brightwell moved his office fixtures and library over from Lewistown Saturday to the Rouse office where he will have his office as manager of the Lewis county Abstract Co., which position he has already assumed. Zete Weatherby, 5, sons of Charles Weatherby, was drowned in the North Fabius near Monticello, Thursday. He with the other little ones, were accustomed to playing on a sandbar, but at this time he walked into a deep ditch, where water was too deep for those who were with him to save him. James F. Horsman, 7, son of William Horsman, Sr., near Lewistown was kicked on the face by a colt. He was most severely injured, the jaw bone was broken and face badly mashed. He was carrying his arm in a sling on account of having broken his collar bone about a week ago. The havenhill herd of Shorthorn cattle, owned by J.B.

Crist left Tuesday for Spalding, Mo., to attend the sixth annual meeting of the Fox Hunter’s Association. Married- at the residence of the officiating minister, Eld. A.S. Ingman, LaGrange, on Aug. 25, there occurred a double wedding. The con-
tracting parties were Joseph S. Patterson and Odie Mac Turner and W. H. Ewing and Miss Leora Petterson, all of the Ten Mile neighborhood. This was a case of swapping sisters. The spot where Ewing is now located was first known as Briscoe Station, named thus in 1872, when the QM&P Railroad was put through the western part of the county. The place retained this name until 1892 when it was known as Bestville, then in 1893 it was changed to Ricker and continued under that name until 1896 when the place was laid out as Ewing. The principal merchants: Swan Bros., drugs and furniture; Leach & Guinan, gen. merchandise and poultry house; W.E. Rose, blacksmith; Murry & Hurt, hardware; Henry Leach, harness shop; J.E.

Canton High School Class of 1992 celebrated their 20th Year Class Reunion July 20-21, 2012 with 20 in attendance. The festivities began Friday night in Canton at Buckin’ Bull Saloon where classmates caught up with each other and enjoyed an evening of laughter and fun. On Saturday morning, classmates and their families gathered at the Canton Ferry to enjoy a scenic ferry ride on the Mississippi River. Following the ferry ride began a family adventure, finding and “rediscovering” several points of interest in and around Canton. Many teachers were present at Primo’s Pizza over the noon hour where classmates and teachers shared
many stories, lessons learned and memories about attending school in Canton. After lunch, classmates and their families met Don Raines at the school for a grand tour. Several changes and updates were observed. The weekend would not be complete without a very popular childhood pastime—The Sun N Surf Pool. Classmates and their families soaked up the sun and cooled off in the pool late Saturday afternoon. Dinner at Los Nopales Mexican Restaurant wrapped up the weekend fun where classmates and their spouses enjoyed dinner and received updates on all classmates. Of course, an informal trip to OC’s could not be overlooked and capped the evening and weekend off.

AUCTIONS Governor Nixon Establishes Emergency Cost-Share Program For Wells In the face of a historic drought, Gov. Jay Nixon has established an emergency cost-share program that has approved more than 5,000 contracts to aid livestock producers and farmers in accessing water. The program, established by Gov. Nixon on July 23, covers 90 percent of the cost of digging a new well, deepening an existing well, or other practices to provide emergency access to water for producers and farmers.
To be eligible, projects must provide immediate and significant relief to producers and farmers who are suffering from drought. The program will provide up to $20,000 for any individual project. As of this morning the program has approved more than 5,000 contracts for emergency projects, at an average cost of $4,800 per livestock project.
Heavier Loads of Grain on Highways Allowed Through Harvest Season As the harvest season approaches, farmers in some areas of Missouri are carefully watching river levels in light of Missouri’s extremely dry conditions. Lower water levels on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers can limit producers’ ability to move grain and other farm products by barge. The Missouri Department of Agriculture requested, and the Missouri Department of Transportation agreed, to allow heavier than normal loads of grain throughout the harvest season. Farmers, private and for-hire motor carriers may carry up to 10 percent more than their licensed weight on Missouri highways. However, the heavier loads are not allowed to use interstate routes. Overweight permits will not be required. All other traffic and motor carrier regulations that normally apply remain in place. This waiver is in effect through December 31, 2012. While the waiver is in effect,
participating motor carriers are limited to: a loaded, gross weight no greater than ten percent above the gross licensed weight of the commercial motor vehicle, transportation only within the State of Missouri, drivers must obey all posted bridge weight limits, when crossing a bridge, the driver must restrict the vehicle speed to no more than thirty miles per hour and must center the truck between two lanes of the bridge. The truck driver must yield to oncoming traffic, and travel on highways other than Missouri interstate and national defense highways. No travel is allowed on Missouri interstate highways or national defense highway routes. All travelers are advised to visit the MoDOT Traveler Information Map at www.modot.org for up-to-date road closure information.

2012 CHEVY EQUINOX LS T5014 24,355 MSRP 23,596 GM PRICE
the close of the last school year that he’d been named to the All-Conference basketball list as a point guard, but had no knowledge of his All-District nomination. The All-Conference for basketball is a list of ten student athletes throughout the Clarence Cannon Conference that performed the best throughout their season, which includes ten schools altogether. The All-District for basketball is a list of ten outstanding athletes that not only performed well in their conference, but also had some
of the best performance in their district, including several more schools. Davie says that he is looking forward to improving this year and “expanding his game all around, taking that AllDistrict and maybe improving to All-State.” Davie contributes his motivation to work hard to his father. “My dad is a huge part of motivation. [It would be great] to even improve just to impress him or to show him all the hard work we’ve put in together, [because] he goes and works out with me.”
