LOCAL NEWS IMAGES OF YESTERYEAR

DVENTURES OF WONDER MOM

Where has all the adventure gone?

In every great story, the hero/heroine must at some point come across an obstacle that challenges the way that they believe or act. I’ve heard that life is a story, but I believe there are many more climaxes and challenging turns in life than any story could every put justice to.

As a young girl, I loved reading and watching movies. At the end of the book or movie, I remember feeling empty, due to my ‘little adventure’ being over. I felt the sadness, happiness, and anger of the characters. Even as a young girl, I felt as though I understood their strife. I find this incredibly strange since I don’t feel like I truly understand anything about my own life.

I believe, as a parent, I’m losing my mind- to say the least. My beautiful daughter’s terrible two tantrums are getting worse by the day, her eating habits vary from ‘starving’ to ‘never eating again’, her sleeping habits are completely out of sync (as in up until 5 a.m. Monday morning, with my wakeup to get ready for work time at seven), and it feels as though I’m running in circles while completing nothing at all. I’m so exhausted, I’m surprised my keyboard hasn’t had a short from all the drool…

It is on days like these that I wish there was a direct answer for every parenting question that I have. Not multiple opinions in which any or none might possibly be beneficial- just one simple, “Do this and ONLY this.”

Of course, I’m completely overlooking the fact that every adventure has trials. I’m overlooking the fact that this stage of my daughter’s development IS a little adventure for the two of us. I just hope I’m strong enough to slay this dragon, because at the moment, my courage feels pretty weak.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about motherhood, it’s that I’m never alone. There’s always someone out there that has been through the same thing or something similar. The difficult part is telling yourself this as you’re rocking your child and continuously watching the clock- hoping that she goes to sleep and praying that you have the chance to turn the alarm clock off before it goes

BARTLETT off and the whole process begins again. And here I was thinking that sleeping through the night shouldn’t be a problem for an almost-two-year-old.

And when it comes to the tantrums, I have no idea what too do. I’ve read things on the internet, talked to friends, etc., and every time I try to implement the “ignore her” or “sit and calmly wait until the tantrum passes” ideas, someone marches in, snatches her up, and holds her- completely undoing everything I’m trying to work towards. Time out works well for her father, but when I try it, she simply slides herself slowly from her place on the couch to the floor, even after I put her back on the couch and scold her. I’ve even tried sitting with her and holding her- to which she responds with a shrill scream, slapping, kicking, and scratching. I’ve even tried spanking- which I hate to do- to no avail.

The strangest part is how I can be so completely flustered with her that I feel as though my brain might boil over and yet this feeling is almost completely forgotten when she looks up at me, smiles and says “Mama.” My kid’s cuteness is like kryptonite.

I need to make a sign for my house stating, “All Ye Who Enter Here, Beware.”

So, with all that being said, all of you Wonder Moms out there that have made it past the terrible two’s, are going through it, or even those of you that know someone who is going through it and have made great strides, send me your suggestions. Submit your thoughts to The Vent or email me at Brianna@lewispnj.com. I’m more than happy to listen to your thoughts- even if it’s simply to share your own toddler horror story with me.

This was the scene almost fifty years ago when looking north on Fourth Street near Poage Street in LaGrange. The dairy cows are owned by Robert Farr and in the background is the property of Richard and Linda Hess, also known as Windy Hill, and at that time it was the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Horn The landscape hasn’t changed too much in the last half century, but many trees have been planted and matured.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Nov. 15, 1987 Bruce and Irene Solter of LaGrange celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a family dinner, hosted by their children and his brother, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Solter.

Pauline Cart was honored as a 50 year member of the Little Queen Rebekah Lodge, LaGrange. A poem was read by another 50 year member, Mabel Talent and Pauline was pinned by 51 year member Janet Smith.

50 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Nov. 18, 1962 Sheriff Wilbur Wallace, his sister, Mrs. Vera Marks and their cousin, Mrs. Evelyn Bozarth, were killed in a car accident about noon Friday, when they collided head-on with a truck about three miles south of Canton.

Pearl Hicks has been appointed b the Lewis County court to act as sheriff until the general election on Nov. 6. The election of a Sheriff in the general election has become mandatory by the sudden and unfortunate death of Sheriff Wilbur Wallace. Pearl F. Hicks is the democratic candidate for sheriff and Emery

Geisendorfer will be the republican candidate.

75 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Nov. 11, 1937 The new Canton Theatre, which will have its grand opening on Nov. 12, is one of the newest and mot up-to-date show house in the State of Missouri. The cost of the structure will exceed $35,000 and no town the size of Canton can boast of such a building, so complete in beauty, comfort and service.

The large frame house occupied by W.F. Roberson and family on the Henry Hamam farm, north of Monticello, burned Wednesday night. The greatest loss was canned fruit and vegetables.

Fred Burrows presented the school with a baritone horn. The school has also purchased a trombone and a mellophone and had the sousaphone and string bass repaired almost like new. The school now owns eight instruments.

The present band will probably increase to 40 members by March.

85 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Nov. 10, 1927 Clara Sparrow, 10-year-

One of the most elaborate functions ever held in LaGrange was observed Saturday night in the new addition of the Gardner Governor Works.

About 400 invitations had been issued in and about LaGrange and about 100 from Quincy had chartered a special car for the occasion. The reception was held in three rooms of the new addition. An orchestra from Quincy furnished splendid music for dancing and refreshments of sandwiches, pickles, ice cream, cake and punch

were served. There are about 80 employees at the present time, the payroll being about $40,000 yearly.

Barnes Bros., of this place, shipped last week 1,000 turkeys and geese to Chicago and we are glad to report they came out whole on the receipts, realizing a profit. It was quite an enterprise on the part of our go ahead young merchants and they deserve to be appreciated by the community from whom they bought so liberally. This is the biggest shipment of fowls ever made from this place.

No track laying has been commenced in Clark County as yet. One cut in Sand Hill Township, Scotland County, between Gorin and Sand Hill, is the largest cut on the line between kansas City and Chicago.

Changes to Form 1099-G and 1099-MISC for FSA Producers and Vendors...

Lewis County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director John Wheeler, announced that calendar year 2012 brings several changes to the way FSA reports a producer’s farm program payments to the producer and to IRS. In past years, IRS Forms 1099-G would be issued to show all program payments received from the Farm Service Agency, regardless of the amount. “Starting with calendar year 2012, producers whose total reportable payments from FSA are

less than $600 will not receive IRS Form 1099G (Report of Payments to Producers),� said Wheeler.

Additionally, producers who receive payments from more than one county will only receive one Form 1099-G if the total of all payments from all counties is $600 or more, Wheeler said. “Producers who receive

less than $600 in combined payments should consult a tax advisor to determine if these payments must be reported on their tax return,� he said.

If the payments were subject to voluntary withholdings or subject to backup (involuntary) withholdings a Form 1099G will be issued regardless of the total amount of the

Camerata Ensemble at Culver-Stockton to Pay Tribute to Leader of Avant-Garde Music Culver-Stockton College’s new music ensemble, “Camerata” will perform at its signature 8:08 p.m. start time Wednesday, Dec. 12 in the Mabee Black Box Theatre in the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center.

This performance of “Camerata” pays homage to John Cage on the Centennial of his birth in 1912.

Cage was one of the leaders of the avant-garde music and aesthetics movement of the middle of the 20th century. His work examined the meaning of sound itself,

often in the context of the intent of silence and gesture.

It evoked audience response ranging from thoughtful enthusiasm to outraged protest.

Performances of avant-garde music are often unusual but always interesting.

This performance is free and open to the public.

LOCAL NEWS Local Resident Participated In Great River Honor Flight Rita Cox rita1@lewispnj.com Gerald Gosney of the Durham and Maywood area, was a participant on the Great River Honor Flight on Oct. 25. This event enables military veterans to travel to Washington D.C. to visit war memorials and other interesting sites.

Mr. Gosney is a Korean War veteran and was a wheel and track mechanic during his service time. He was drafted in February 1951. His basic training was in Camp Cook California. He spent seven months at Mt. Fuji in Japan and was in the 40th Infantry Division.

He spent nine months in Korea, leaving Japan on leap year day 1952 and leaving Korea the Monday before Thanksgiving in 1952. When arriving in Korea they got off the ship and then traveled by train as far as they could, then trucked the rest of the way. The first night after arriving at their destination they were welcomed by ‘Bed Check Charlie” a single engine enemy plane equipped with 50 caliber guns. They were sleeping on army cots and one soldier had his cot head bar shattered by the bullets.

Enemy airplane fly overs were common.

Although never in combat Gosney was stationed close to the front and could hear the battles.

He celebrated his twenty-first birthday in Japan and his twenty-

War Veteran Gerald Gosney participated on the Great River Honor Flight on October 25, 2012. An event he and the other War Veterans greatly enjoyed.

second birthday in Korea.

He describes doing a little drinking with the other soldiers and one night he fell in a foxhole and really doesn’t remember how he got out of it.

Mr. Gosney said the honor flight trip was a wonderful experience and the veterans were welcomed by everyone they met. He said he shook more hands in that one

day and he had ever before. A group of middle school students greeted the vets and the kids felt they were privileged to be able to thank the veterans and shake their hands.

He continues to live in the house where he was born. Dr. Ellery of LaGrange delivered him. He farmed with his parents most of his life. He enjoys playing spider solitaire on

the computer and is proud of his seventy percent winning average.

Gosney said the group enjoyed seeing the many sights of Washington, D.C. and the Arlington Cemetery ceremonies. He encourages all veterans to take the opportunity to be on an Honor Flight. It was an experience he will never forget.

Unique Courses for CulverStockton Fall 2012 Three Week Semester Culver-Stockton College’s fall 3-week session of classes have begun. The 2012 fall 3-week is full of dynamic and unique courses for students, and multiple travel courses have been offered.

At least ten classes have overnight traveling integrated into the coursework this term, and many others have day trips planned. Traveling provides students with the experiential learning Culver-Stockton is becoming known for. For example, one art class is traveling Paris, Rome and Florence to see the world’s masterpieces firsthand. Two other professors, Dr. Scott Giltner and Dr. Lauren Schellenberger, joined together to take 18 students to Belize and Guatemala for two weeks. The two professors are technically teaching different courses—Dr. Giltner’s students are taking “Environmental History,” and Dr. Schellenberger’s students are taking “Tropical Ecology”—but are taking an interdisciplinary approach to the trip. The two group of students will be participating in the same activities, with a different focus for the writing assignments and quizzes. The group will interact with indigenous cultures, spend three days in the rainforest, and snorkel in the world’s second largest coral reef.

Extended international trips are not the only traveling during C-SC’s 3-week. During one day trip, five classes joined together to travel to a National Guard Training Course in Macon, Mo. Sixty-eight students participated in several leadership-building activities, including repelling down a building and playing paintball.

Travel is only one aspect of the 3-week term, and not all courses will travel. For classes with no travel activities, the length of time and intensive nature of the class provides a unique affect.

C-SC is one of only two schools in the nation to implement the 12/3 semester calendar, and the school is now in the fifth year of the program. With the 12/3 calendar, the typical 15-week semester is broken into two terms: a 12-week, when students take 3-4 classes, and a 3-week, when students focus on only one class.

This schedule allows students to focus on fewer classes at once, and it allows professors to integrate a higher level of active and experiential learning into classes.

Many students choose to complete internships during the 3-week. Traveling and internships are convenient during the 3-week because students do not have to worry about other classes. The 12/3 calendar is only one way that Culver-Stockton has implemented new theories and programs to benefit students. Other examples included the 4-Year Graduation Guarantee and e-portfolios. All programs are implemented to keep in touch with an ever-changing student market.

For more information on Culver-Stockton’s 12/3 calendar, contact Heidi Lanier at 573-288-6312 or at hlanier@culver.edu.

COMMUNITY NEWS Whitetails Donation

Blessing Hospital Awarded an “A” for Patient Safety by Hospital Safety Score

Submitted photo

Whitetails Unlimited presented a check for $500 to Richard Horner, a representative for Share the Harvest. Each year hunters can donate their deer and the meat will be distributed to needy individuals. The donation will help cover the cost of processing the meat. Pictured are: Ed Sweet, Steve Merrell, Lonnie Foust, Richard Horner, Nick Sweet and Tim Dochterman. Unable to be in the picture was Lewis County Conservation Agent Brock McArdle.

SHARE And HEAL Don’t Drive if You’re Tipsy, Buzzed or Blitzen Plan Holiday Calendars are quickly filling with fesMemorial Service tive social gatherings and parties. During this hustle and bustle time, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety reminds motorists designate a driver or call a cab and avoid driving impaired. Law enforcement is on the lookout for impaired drivers, with targeted enforcement efforts Dec. 10-16.

“Drinking and driving is never a good combination. It’s just not worth the risk,” says Leanna Depue, executive chair of the coalition. “If you’re going to drink, plan another way home before the celebration begins, and encourage your friends and family to do the same.”

Throughout December, safety advertising in restaurants and bars will remind patrons to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

Santa’s reindeer adorn restroom posters, mirror clings and drink coasters with a “Don’t Drive if You’re Tipsy, Buzzed or Blitzen” message. These lively little reindeer are a creative reminder of the importance of driving completely sober.

There are no excuses to drive impaired.

The facts are known - drinking and driving is a lethal combination. The consequences can be fines, jail time, or even death. In December 2011, 67 people died and 456 were seriously injured in Missouri traffic crashes. Seventeen of those fatalities and 69 of serious injuries involved an impaired driver.

Blessing Hospital’s SHARE and HEAL support groups will hold a holiday memorial service on Thursday, Dec. 13 at 6:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Blessing Hospital, 11th Street Campus. The regular monthly SHARE meeting will follow the service.

Blessing Hospital was honored with an “A” Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The A score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety ScoreSM, the A, B, C, D or F scores assigned to U.S. hospitals based on preventable medical errors, injuries accidents, and infections.

The Hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.

“People trust us with their lives and the lives of their loved ones,” said Maureen Kahn, RN, MHA, MSN, president/ chief executive officer, Blessing Hospital. “They expect and deserve the safest, highest quality healthcare possible. Ev-

Through this computerbased, bedside system, nurses scan bar codes on a patient’s medication to ensure the right patient is going to receive the right medication through the right route at the right time.

“While the ‘A’ in safety from the Leapfrog Group is definitely a high honor for us, the highest honor we receive each and every day is the trust of our patients,” Kahn concluded.

To see Blessing Hospital’s scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore. org, which also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay. People can also check their local hospital’s score on the free mobile app, available at www.hospitalsafetyscore. org.

“Hospitals like Blessing that earn an A have demonstrated their commitment to their patients and their community,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “I congratulate Blessing Hospital for its safety excellence, and look forward to the day when all hospitals will match this standard.”

“Enhancing patient safety is a journey of continuous process improvement,” Kahn continued.

“Changes in technology and science and the complexity of care challenge our processes and raise the standards each year.”

Troop B Officers To Participate In Statewide Holiday DWI Enforcement Campaign Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces that Troop B officers will be participating in the statewide 2012 Holiday DWI Enforcement Campaign to stop people from driving impaired this holiday season. Enforcement efforts will be increased from December 10, 2012, through December 16, 2012, and will focus on reducing deaths and injuries caused by impaired drivers. In 2011, 209 individuals were killed and 3,630 were injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes.

“Losing a loved one during the holiday season is a tragedy no one should have to endure,” stated Captain Wilt. “Impaired driving is a preventable crime, and we intend to work diligently to remove impaired drivers from our roadways.”

The Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves from all types of hazardous drivers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Click It 4 Life !!

Three Missouri State Parks Will Close Temporarily Dec. 8-9 For Deer Hunts Deer hunters will have a rare opportunity to harvest a whitetail deer in three Missouri state parks during managed deer hunts to alleviate deer overpopulations on Dec. 8-9, Missouri State Parks announced today. During the hunts, the parks will be closed to everyone except the deer hunters.

By law, state parks are established as wildlife refuges and hunting is not permitted except under special circumstances. However, these special hunts are being used as a resource management tool because the deer population is too large for the environment of the park and resources in the park are being damaged.

Special hunts will be conducted Dec. 8-9 at the following parks: • Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park in Wildwood.

• Cuivre River State Park near Troy.

• Watkins Woolen Mill State Park near Lawson.

The hunts will be conducted following guidelines established by the Missouri Department of Conservation, which regulates hunting of wildlife in the state. Hunters who will be participating submitted special applications this summer for the Department of Conservation’s special managed hunts, which are held annually. Hunters were selected through a random computer drawing.

Only those hunters who already have a special permit will be allowed to participate in the hunts.

“These hunts provide benefits for the hunters and for state parks. They provide hunters with a unique opportunity to help us manage the deer herd and provide protein for the family table, or for another family through the Share the Harvest program,” said Bill Bryan, director of Missouri State Parks, a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Missouri State Parks administers state parks and historic sites throughout Missouri. All other state parks and historic sites, other than the three mentioned, will not be affected by the hunts and will remain open to the public.

For more information on Missouri state parks and historic sites, visit mostateparks.com. Missouri State Parks is a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
