Local Post Offices Hold Meetings To Discuss Schedule Changes BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com
Several Post Offices in the county have meetings scheduled to hear community and business member’s comments about the upcoming changes in scheduling that may occur in their area. The US Post Office has had several budetary concerns over the last several years and plans to reduce the number of hours in many post offices across the nation. Many Post Offices have been closed or are scheduled to cease operations, especially in areas where there is a low volume of mail. The Postal Service has established a review process for certain Post Offices known as the Post Plan. Surveys have been sent to postal patrons about different options available to local post offices. The Postal Service is soliciting community input to determine the best corse of action for providing postal service to the following lo-
cal post offices. Meetings are scheduled on Oct. 15 for the LaBelle Post Office at noon, the Lewistown Post Office at 2 p.m. and the Monticello Post Office at 4 p.m. A meeting will be held at the LaGrange Post Office on Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. A representative from the Postal service will be available to answer questions and provide more information about the POST plan. At the meetings, local management will share the results of the survey, answer questions and solicit input regarding the time of day the Post Office will be open. The Postal Service reports that no decision will be made until after the local meetings are held. Members of the community interested in having an influence on local Post Offices should attend the scheduled meetings to voice concerns and ask questions. The Williamstown Post Office is scheduled to close on October 31.

C-SC Student wins trip to corporate HQ in National Internship When Kelsey Vaughn went to the career fair on the Culver-Stockton campus last spring, she had no idea what it would lead to. “At the career fair, I did a mock interview in front of a panel of guests, and when I was finished, Eric McClelland came up and offered me an internship with AFLAC insurance,” remembers Vaughn. What started as a commission-based summer sales internship with AFLAC insurance company, ended with Vaughn placing third in a national competition and winning a trip to Columbus, Ga. The internship required Vaughn to become licensed in insurance sales for both Illinois and Missouri. Once she was licensed, Kelsey worked over the summer in the Quincy area, selling life and health insurance for AFLAC. To encourage quality work, AFLAC held a summer internship sales contest where Vaughn competed against 800 other interns nationwide. At the end of the summer, AFLAC flew the eight interns with the highest sales to the company
headquarters in Georgia. Vaughn placed third. While in Georgia, Vaughn was presented with rare opportunities to meet high-ranking people in the AFLAC organization, including AFLAC’s corporate lobbyist, the marketing staff, a senior vice president and one of the company’s founders, Paul Amos. Vaughn will graduate from CulverStockton this December with a double major in business administration and speech communication and a minor in corporate leadership. She is active in Phi Beta Lambda and has also competed nationally in FBLA-PBL competitions. Her persistence has paid off. Though she does not graduate until December, Vaughn has already secured employment as a full-time payroll clerk at Niemann Foods, Inc., in Quincy, Ill. For more information, contact Heidi Lanier at 573-288-6312 or hlanier@ culver.edu.
IRS Urges Paid Tax Preparers to Take Competency Test Now The Internal Revenue Service today urged almost 6,000 Missouri tax return preparers to immediately schedule their competency test or risk difficulty finding a date, time or location as the exam deadline nears next year. For most of these, the appropriate test will be the Registered Tax Return Preparer competency test. The Registered Tax Return Preparer test has been available since No-
vember 2011. Nationwide, more than 310,000 tax return preparers still need to pass the test before December 31, 2013. Tax professionals who are Enrolled Agents, Certified Public Accountants, and attorneys are exempt from the test, as are certain non-signing preparers and those who do not prepare the Form 1040 series. The RTRP test is being administered by Prometric, Inc., which has 260
testing sites nationwide. However, if too many preparers delay, available seats will be scarce. To learn more about the test or to begin the scheduling process, preparers should go to the RTRP Competency Test Information page on the IRS.gov web site at: http://www.irs. gov/Tax-Professionals/ Registered-Tax-ReturnPreparer-CompetencyTest-Information.

LOCAL NEWS Woman Travels To Washington, D.C. As Part Of The Great River Honor Flight BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com
Lue Bursewicz of Canton travelled to Washington D.C., last week as one of the veterans of the Great River Honor Flight. The trip allows veterans to see memorials dedicated to the veterans of the various wars that Americans have served in along with other interesting and historic sights. Mrs. Bursewicz, along with her twin sister, Sue, decided they wanted adventure and wanted to see more of the world. They had been in college and were working and decided together they would join the military. Their family had a long military history, they had six brothers in the service. The youngest brother was lost in France at Normandy, so when they told their parents they were joining the service, the parents were reluctant to see them pursue a military career. In the 1950s, women were becoming more common in the military than before, but it was still a new idea. Mrs. Bursewicz said they were always treated with respect, they never had any trouble from anyone in the service. The twins were the focus of a newspaper article in 1956. The pretty twins picture and story appeared in the Skylander and talked about how much they looked alike and the fun they have confusing people when they see them together. There were six women who had enlisted at the time out of Indianapolis and there were 200 women who took basic training together. The basic training was very strenuous, running, swimming and other types of physical exercise. After signing up the Korean War ended soon. The girls served together in Texas, California, Rhode Island and other places. Mrs. Bursewicz said the military would not separate twins. They had so much fun, seeing the sights and traveling around the country and experiencing different parts of America. Their duties were mainly shifts and they were free to explore the area in their free time.The twins were assigned different jobs, Sue in Public Relations and Lue as a court reporter. She saw many
LUE BURSEWICZ interesting cases, a few court marshals but mainly minor offenses, such as larceny and AWOL, no major crimes. They also did other assignments, doing whatever was needed at the time. Lue’s sister was discharged first with a medical condition. Lue was discharged in 1959. She met her husband at the University of Illinois. They married and came to Canton in 1962 when he became a professor at Culver-Stockton College. Lue was a homemaker who stayed home to raise their babies, and then was switchboard operator at Culver-Stockton for over 19 years. They have two daughters and one grandchild. They had one son who is deceased. Along with the other sights, the Women’s Memorial at Arlington cemetery was one of the most interesting aspects of the trip for Mrs. Bursewicz. According to the Women’s Memorial website, The Women’s Memorial officially opened to the public on October 20, 1997. The history of women in the armed forces began more than 220 years ago with the women who served during the American Revolution and continues through the present day. The Women’s Memorial honors all the women who have served courageously, selflessly and with dedication in times of conflict and in times of peace—women whose achievements have for too long been unrecognized or ignored. The memorial was a thing of beauty and a very emotional experience for Mrs. Bursewicz. Sadly, her twin Sue, passed away two years ago, with Lue by her side during her last days. Mrs. Bursewicz learned about how the Honor Flight was accepting Korean War veterans

in July and was accepted to be a part of the October 2 trip. Her guardian who accompanied her was a volunteer who is a surgeon at an area hospital. She says the trip was a memorable experience and she encourages others to take the opportunity and see the various sights. The group was warmly received where ever they went, from the airport to the memorial to the welcome home ride and ceremony. The cheers from
the crowd, the warm reception and the many thanks the veterans received while on the trip was an emotional and memorable experience
and Mrs. Bursewicz is very grateful she had the opportunity to take part in the great day. She also cherishes the close bond
she had with her twin sister and fondly remembers all the great times they had together.

The Ladies of Lewis Co. hold paper, soap and hygiene drive
Bring the children to a bigger and better Trunk ‘R Treat at Canton R-V this Halloween and enjoy a safe evening of fun from 5:30 to 7 p.m.. For over 80 years, Canton Kiwanis Club has provided a safe environment for community children at the school with the Halloween Costume Parade. Last year, area businesses and organizations joined with Kiwanis and provided decorated displays and vehicle trunks full of treats for 200 to 250 trick or treaters. This year, Kiwanis is asking local residents to join in the fun and volunteer their trunks as well. Signs can be picked up at County Market, Shelter Insurance or the Canton Public Library for those that wish to participate in the event and wish to alert trick or treaters to come to the school. The Kiwanis Costume Contest and Parade will keep up the 80-year tradition, too. Registration of children aged from pre-school through 6th grade will be at 5 p.m. in the school cafeteria. Parade chair Larry Arnold will begin the contest and parade at 5:30. Parade participants will have plenty of time to enjoy the treat trunks, too. Everyone will win a participation prize, and contest winners for age groups will win silver dollars. A special grand prize will be awarded by the Culver-Stockton College education student judges for most creative costume. The whole community is invited to enjoy the creative costumes of the young people with their families. Trunk ‘R Treat on Oct. 31 from 5:30 to 7 is a great way to help Canton Kiwanis “make the world a better place, one child at a time.”

EDITORIAL DVENTURES OF WONDER MOM
IMAGES OF YESTERYEAR
What it means to be patient… The Webster definition of patient is bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint and/or not hasty or impetuous. I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten much better at handling things calmly, but the one aspect of patience that I need the most work on is being able to wait for certain things to happen. When I was in high school, I had an on-going debate with a fellow female student. Her entire life ‘goal’ was to be a wife. I thought she was completely bonkers. After coming from at least two generations of divorce, I could not see myself waiting hand and foot on a husband, having my entire financial situation resting upon him, and having no prospects to do anything other than be a wife. I never wanted to find myself in a situation that would keep me from support my children and myself. Although, that idea still stands firm for me, and were my husband and I ever to split, I know I would be a stable parent, I find it odd how much my perspective on being a wife has changed. More than anything, as I grow older, I find myself wanting to be like the mother from Leave It to Beaver. I want to prance around in a dress and high heels, cooking dinner, cleaning house, and politely telling my children that they should mind their manners. But, in today’s society, a woman like that would get skewered and barbecued. These days, my focus falls to being the best mother that I possibly can be, cooking on the nights that I’m not so exhausted that I fall asleep on the couch, and cleaning up clutter (with the occasionally bathroom scrub down). At this point, I basically hate watching television shows that have anything to do with family values. Why? Because the mothers ALWAYS have everything together. Sure, there may be an emotional crisis here and there to give the show more drama, but these women are leading PTA, cooking exquisite home-made meals, running businesses or writing books, and still making it to every school event (while maintaining a perfectly clean house). Ladies, give it up. Unless there is some magical event that doubles the hours in a day, ninety percent of us will never reach those goals. Yet, with that being said, there are still goals that I desperately want to achieve. I want to make PlayDoh sculptures with my daughter, but she’s not to the age where she understands that she can’t eat the Play-Doh. I want to own my own home and decorate it in a fabulous, belongs in a magazine sort of way, but buying a home and also furnishing it is something that takes years. I want every single meal I cook to be the healthiest, best-tasting stuff anyone’s ever had (without even us-
BARTLETT ing a recipe), but it’s going to take several more years of cooking before I have a good knowledge base on what flavors and dishes go with whatever meat or vegetable I’m cooking. This wouldn’t be an issue if I were a more patient woman. Unfortunately, when I want something, I want it NOW. I want to open up my closet and have every article of clothing that I could ever dream of to be waiting for me, with the only real decision being which lovely outfit I am going to wear. I want my hair to be at least to the length of my shoulders so that I can pull it back into a pony tail. I want to fulfill my lifelong dream of writing an amazing book, and sit in a bookstore somewhere and watch people buy it. Financially and time-wise, these goals aren’t something that I can achieve right now, so I’m having to struggle with myself to learn to be patient. When I’m feeling especially desperate, I try to look back on the days where I was incredibly patient- without even realizing it. For a little over a month, I watched my daughter through a thick, plastic incubator with tubes, monitors and gauze nearly everywhere. When I could hold her, it was only for a few minutes at a time because she would lose her body temperature so quickly. As much as it broke my heart to have to hand her back to the nurses, I knew that it was for the best. Even on the day we brought her home, a part of me was worried they’d released her too soon. On the day I finally was able to bring her home, I couldn’t stop holding her. She was so tiny, so beautiful, and so incredible, and I’d been missing out on so much. But, she wasn’t accustomed to being held so much and therefore wasn’t eating very well. Once again, I had to tell myself to wait. Eventually, my daughter would get to a point where I didn’t have to constantly worry about doing ‘the wrong thing.’ My patience paid off. Now, I have a difficult time getting Amaya to let go of me! So, when I’m having difficult convincing myself to wait for something, I try to remember how I had to wait for my little angel. It’s not always easy, and at times it may be the hardest thing a person could ever do, but in the long run, it was patience that kept me sane.

This photo was in the possession of a Lewis County resident, but no information about the identity of the three young children is known. The photo is stamped with the name of Robertson, Quincy Ill., which was probably a photography studio. The photo appears to be from the late 1800s or early 1900s.
LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY
BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 8, 1987 An instigator of in home services to the elderly was honored Oct. 1. with a surprise reception at the Monticello courthouse. Mrs. White said” When I started I think that Lewis County was only the second in the state to offer in-home services.” She had witnessed the expansion of senior services in Lewis County and feels people are more conscious of the needs of the elderly. 45 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 8, 1967 A.D. Glover was elected as alderman of the second ward in Canton at a special election. He received 114 votes. He will fill the un-expired term of the late R. Walton Miller. Andrew Baxter of north of Canton sold an Indian arrow point to collector Jim Cox of Cantrell, Iowa for $60. Mrs. Grey (Nelson Pulliam) Snyder of Palmyra, formerly of Durham, presented the Durham Baptist Church a beautiful Baldwin electric organ. It was given in memory of the late John T. and Betty Nelson Pulliam family. 75 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 8, 1937 Henry Stover has the contract to erect a new tile building for Don Stone. The building will be erected at his farm west of Canton and will house a new pasteurizing plant. LaGrange Lutheran Church will build a new parsonage. The Rev. P. W. Beinke, pastor, is ex-
officio chairman of the building committee. The Lewis County Journal Oct. 8, 1927 Roy Parrish of Knox and Miss Ruby Hamann of Canton were married in the home of the Rev. Roy Thorpe in Canton. The couple went to LaGrange where they have a home furnished and ready for housekeeping. Mr. Parrish is manager of the Kroger store in LaGrange. The funeral of Charles Brinkley of Canton, formerly of Maywood, was held at Dover last Thursday. 95 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 8,, 1917 Two new pupils in the primary room this week; Lyman and Bernita Schork, Karl Schork and Hazel Wright have entered school in the intermediate room. The Lewis County Bankers Association met at Monticello and arranged a campaign of the county in the interest of the second Liberty Loan Bond. Buy a Liberty Bond and help win the war. More sorghum was raised around here this year than we ever knew before, and the same may be said of navy beans. The high cost of eatables has spurred people to raise all they could. Sunny Side. Tom Dance of Quincy sold his farm of 160 acres near Lewistown to Geo. Hetzler of Canton for $16,000. He took in part payment Mr. Hetzler’s 40 acres near Canton at $8,000. The reunion of Lewis County Old Settlers was a big success held at the fairgrounds east of Monticello, Oct. 4. instead of the fair. Over 2,500 people attended.
Large amount of stock was shown in various rings. 105 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 8, 1907 Last week while Mrs. Hames Clark, who lives about 4 miles northeast of Willliamstown, was returning home from that place, the team of mules she was driving became frightened and ran away. She attempted to jump from the rapidly moving vehicle, but was caught in the wheel, receiving a broken leg, fractured skull and internal injuries from which she died. She was about 55 years old. LaGrange has four button factories that employ about 300 people, one of these known as the LaGrange Pearl Button Co., also finished their blanks and ever since its organization has enjoyed much success. The LaGrange Foundry Co., a branch of the famous Gardner Governor Works of Quincy, gives work to 100 people and the canning factory, which does a great amount of business also employs a large number.
it is now 18 more days until the question of “wet or dry” will be determined for Lewis County by its sovereigns, under the Local Option Law. The new store of E.O. Sutton, corner of Fourth and Lewis Streets in Canton, is ahead of anything in this county. Other merchants are not to blame for being a little envious. The Canton Press among other things said of the store, prints the following: “The building is 40x85 feet, with 14 foot ceilings and a wareroom to the west, 20x45 feet. The front is on Lewis Street and is of iron and glass, with an artistic show window in the corner and a second show window adjoining the Fourth Street entrance. The large stock is well displayed and embraces everything in the line of dry goods, notions, carpets, boats and shoes. Friday during a severe electrical storm, the barn on the old Bevans places was struck by lightning and destroyed about 350 bushels of oats, several tons of hay and some small tools and implements. Mr. Will Bevans lives on the place. A most unique piece of handmade work is on exhibition at the fairgrounds, in the floral hall. The work is in a frame and is embroidery, on a linen background. The linen was spun and woven and the embroidery done by Maria Louisa Bladgett at the age of 13 years. The fact that it is 106 years old makes it that much more of an oddity and it was done in Haverhill County, Essex, England. The work is the property of John Ray of Lewis County and the work was the accomplishment of John and Anice Ray’s great-grandmother.
The many friends of Willard Tompkins recently of Washington, D.C. Will be pleased to learn that he has purchased the dry goods store of C. N. Burgess of Williamstown. Prairie View Sorghum making is in progress in several adjoining neighborhoods. Those making in a few miles of here are John Chambers, George Spidle, Milton Hawkins and Norman Goodsoon All mills are crowded as every farmer raised big can crops. 125 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 8, 1887

Lewis County 4-H Celebrates 4-H Week October 7-13 October 7-13 is National 4-H Week, and Lewis County is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. 4-H is a youth organization whose mission is engaging youth as valued, contributing members of their communities in partnership with caring adults. Open to youth 8-18 years old and with a special program for youth 5-7 years old, 4-H provides youth with the opportunities to explore their interests, develop as leaders, and give back to their community, as well as developing positive relationships with caring adults. Recent findings from Tufts University’s 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that young people in 4-H are three times more likely to contribute to their communities than youth not participating in 4-H. Notably, the Tuft’s research discovered that the structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that 4-Her’s receive play a vital role in helping them actively contribute to their communities. In Lewis County more than 107 members and 51 volunteers are involved in 4-H in 5 community clubs. In 2011, 4-H members in Lewis County completed over 80 hours of community service including trash pick-ups, making fairground improvements, and collecting food and clothes for those in need. The top ten projects our 4-H members are enrolled in Lewis County Archery, Small bore Rifle, Beef, Woodworking, Shotgun, Foods, Arts and Crafts,
Welding, Shooting Sports Safety, and Photography. Here is what Lewis County 4-Her’s had to say: “Being an active member in 4-H has helped me with multiple things like developing leadership skills, being an active listener, gaining new friends, and time management skills. But one thing that really stands out in my mind is public speaking. When I first joined 4-H , I was a shy girl that rarely spoke to anyone, but as the years went on and through multiple demonstrations and holding most officer positions in my local club, 4-H has helped me perfect these speaking skills that are needed in everyday life.” –Jessica Campen “I continue to be in 4-H because I think it’s fun and it’s a learning experience.” –Jaclyn Sweet “4-H is something I enjoy doing. I continue to learn and grow. I get to be with my friends and family.” –Bryson Ledbetter When asked about the impact of 4-H Volunteers, this is what Jessica Campen had to say, “Volunteers have impacted me with their dedication, readiness, and willingness to help whenever its needed. My parents have always been volunteer project leaders, always ready to help make a birdhouse or help with cooking. With volunteers like my parents, I believe 4-H participants can achieve, with a little help, anything they set their minds to.” For more information or to join 4-H contact Katie Hogan, Youth Program Assistant, at the Lewis County University of Missouri Extension Office at 767-5273 or hoganka@ missouri.edu.

For over 60 years, there has been a Dr. Dykstra in Canton and now with Dr. Mike Dykstra retiring an era is ending. Michael Dykstra attended to his last patient at the Quincy Medical Group office on Oct. 1 and a reception honoring his retirement was held Oct. 6 at the Comfort Inn. Dr. John Dykstra, Dr.
Mike’s father, was an ensign in the Navy in the medicine department and wanted to become a doctor because he wanted to help people. He enrolled in medical school and was 43 years old when he became a doctor. He was looking for a practice and came to Canton to join with Dr. Dodson. He practiced medicine in the community for over 22 years. When he came to Canton, there were five other doctors in town. Many residents re-

member going to his office on Clark Street and seeing the fish tank full of tropical fish and sitting in the bright orange and green plastic chairs in the waiting room. Dr. Mike knew he wanted to be a doctor when at a young age, he saw an article in one of his Dad’s medical journals about a boy who had an arm pulled off. He knew he wanted to help people also and decided in high school that he would become a doctor. He joined his father’s practice in Canton. On his first day, a man came in with several symptoms and Dr. John asked him what they

should do. Dr. Mike advised that they should send him on to the Iowa City hospital which probably saved his life as he had a stroke while in the hospital. They moved to an office south of Canton in 1971. Dr. John died in 1977. The office became part of Quincy Medical Group in 1993. Dr. Mike said healing people is a gift from God and being a good doctor requires education, experience and caring about people and wanting to help them. He is passionate about health care and the current status of health care in America, espe-

That was before the ambulance service was available in Lewis County. Before the ambulance district was established, the doctors in town would respond to accidents and the local hearse was used to transport victims to the hospitals. Dr. Dykstra said he has seen many things in his years of practice, farming accidents, rare diseases and unusual cases. He said now when a person calls a doctor at home, they are usually needing to go to the hospital and he advises them to do so because in many cases, time is of the

essence. He made house calls until last year. Another one of Dr. Mike’s well known passions is roses. After being in practice for 15 years, he decided to pursue a new interest, growing roses. After a year, he began breeding roses and at one time had seven varieties on the market with the most popular being the Heart O’ Gold, a beautiful creation with a gold center. At times he was spending as much time in his rose garden as he was at his practice. He loves the science of breeding roses and says sometimes he is the only one who will ever see a certain rose that has bloomed. He has over 300 rose bushes at his home, and has had as many as 800. The workload is tremendous, covering each bush each winter, watering and taking care of the beautiful garden. Some of the bushes are over 25 years old and continue to add beauty to the world. Dr. Dykstra says preventative care is one of the most important aspects to good health and also advises that a multi vitamin a day can improve the quality of health and life. He also advises to eat right, exercise and stop abusing the body by smoking or other bad habits. There were seven members of the Dykstra family who have pursued a career in medicine. Dr. Mike Dykstra has several members in the community where he has been the family doctor for generations. Dr. Mike says he appreciates his loyal patients and complements the many people who have worked with him over the years. His longest employee is Frances Spratt who has been with the Dykstra clinic for 38 years. He and his wife, Cathy, will be married 43 years in December. They have two sons and three grandchildren. In retirement, they will continue to live in the community. They plan to take life easy and smell the roses.

BUY LEWIS COUNTY A Small Town Business That’s Big On Service CANTON HARDWARE
As the oldest hardware store in Lewis County, Jim Leone continues the tradition of a small town business. Canton Hardware at 410 Clark Street is the kind of business a person hopes to find in a small town. A place where the customer knows they will receive a quality product, advice, if needed, and the right tools to repair or finish a project. As the oldest hardware store in Lewis County, the tradition of a small town business continues. Owner Jim Leone provides one on one service to his customers while at the same time offers a wide variety of quality products. He also knows his customers and what their needs are or might be. Leone has many years of experience in the hardware business. He had worked for the previous owner, Harold Collins, since 1974, and then purchased the business from Collins in 1997. Collins had owned Canton Hardware since the 1960’s. Leone has served generations of the same families. Problem solving and experience is what customers have when they walk into Canton Hardware. Leone and a part time employee are happy to serve the people of the community. The store specializes in plumbing and electrical products, but also offers a variety of products commonly found in a hardware store. Do-it-yourself jobs usually require a trip to the local hardware store and those projects become much easier when there is someone nearby to offer advice and years of experience. Canton Hardware also offers lumber products. Drywall, plywood and lumber can be purchased with many items in stock or can be special ordered. In the last several years the business expanded by over 5,000 feet when they purchased the former Canton Auto building. Leone has lived in the Canton community for over 40 years. He and his wife, Donna have one son, Brian. He encourages the community to support the local businesses and to check out the many goods and services available close to home. Canton Hardware is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. The phone number is (573) 288- 5685.
Jim Leone of Canton Hardware offers his customers a variety of products and services at his business located at 410 Clark Street in Canton.

Friends of the Library present inspiring Canton students with books
Photo by Brianna Bartlett Pictured (center) are Clayton LaCount and Nathan Stevens with the Friends of the Library.
On Thursday, Oct. 4, a special Paw Pride assembly was held in the small gym at Canton R-V to honor two special young boys. Students and teachers gathered into the small gym at 2:45 p.m. to await a presentation from a group known as the Friends of the Library. The two boys receiving the awards had both participated in the summer reading program at the Canton Public Library where the Friends of the Library were involved. Nathan Stevens is a 14 year old student at Canton R-V who was diagnosed with spastic apalsia cerebal palsy at just ten years old. Through Shiner’s, Nathan was able to get a surgery on June 13 that could very likely change his life. According to his mother, Nathan had been in pain from around the age of four when he walked, but wasn’t diagnosed until age ten. The point of the surgery was to “straighten” out his bones with titanium plates and rods. Currently, Nathan is using a wheel chair while at school but is able to use a walker to get around at home. The long-term recovery is a two-year period in which Nathan must wear leg braces but his mother said, “Nothing will put that kid down.” Nathan was presented the book Wonder, which the assembly speaker described as a touching book about a boy with exceptional courage. “We thought that was appropriate for Nathan,” announced the speaker to the students during the assembly. Also receiving an award was Clayton LaCount. Clayton was 23rd in the nation in his Boy Scout popcorn sales, totaling $8,250.95 Clayton is only ten years old. Clayton’s father described him as an energetic saleman, describing how Clayton would hop on to his bicycle in the afternoons after school and ride around selling popcorn to neighbors, friends, etc. Clayton sells his popcorn out in the more rural areas around Lewis Co., to family out-of-town or state and to many of the Seeking Bids local businesses. “He’s either going to be a car salesThe LaGrange Senior Housing, Inc. is requesting bids for man or a politician.
