Horse Logger passes through Lewis County
BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com An unusual site passed through Lewis County Friday, Jan. 4.
ACCIDENT RESULTS IN MODERATE INJURIES
Several people reported a horse drawn vehicle traveling on Highway 61 headed north. Lee The Horselogger is traveling the United States by horse and wagon.
They travel to jobs where his Suffolk Punch team of five horses work by pulling logs out of areas where they have been cut, usually a place where machines can’t access. Lee stopped at the Ayerco Truck Stop in Canton to camp overnight and rest. He says he always stays overnight in his wagon to be near the horses and take care of them. He enjoys talking to people about his journeys after he has taken care of his horses’s needs. He tries to camp close to his travel route.
He said he gets many looks traveling down the highway and most of the people are nice and try to pull over to give him room. Traveling on a highway with a team of five horses does present a challenge sometimes, with bad weather, speeding vehicles and narrow roads. Interested persons can keep up with his travels on the website, leehorselogger.com and can also follow him on facebook.
SMOKE HOUSE CLOSES CANTON LOCATION
On Jan. 4, Margaret L. Nunn, 41, of Quincy was headed southbound on US 61 in a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier when she attempted to make a left turn (from the right lane) and was struck by Lora A. Davis-Stroud, 40, of Canton who was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Both drivers had apparently moderate injuries and were both transported to Blessing Hospital in Quincy for treatment. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts.
Riverside Smoke House at 305 Lewis Street has closed the Canton location. The restaurant opened in March 2009 in the building that had previously been a number of restaurants including The Bird’s Nest and J.K’s and Cliff and Norm’s. According to owner, Ken Rieffer, Riverside Smoke House quickly became a destination spot for people from all over the area with their BBQ dishes and award winning tenderloins. The Smokehouse is also known for their catering services. In 2012, they opened a second location at 222 South Third in Quincy,
Ill. Rieffer said, “Canton has had a surge in restaurant opening in the past four years with four new restaurants since Riverside opened in 2009. It was a hard decision to make, but it was right for our company to close the Canton store to continue the growth of our business.” Rieffer said they will continue to service the Canton market with their catering business that many people have become accustom to. The Rieffer family said they appreciate all of their customers and look forward to serving them in the Quincy location.

Steinbeck has book published BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com Growing up in a Christian family, Dan Steinbeck was surrounded by family that enjoyed humor, even if it was at their own expense. Family stories were re-told at the dinner table, family reunions and get togethers. Laughter flowed in the Steinbeck family and their interactions with other people has provided many heartwarming and funny stories. Dan Steinbeck, former editor and owner of the Press-News Journal, has written the book, Nuts, Squirrels and Knotholes in the Family Tree, a collection of stories from his family and friends. His father, the late David Steinbeck, was the owner and editor of The Press-News Journal and deeply involved in the community. David Steinbeck, came to Canton from Mount Sterling, and was employed at Culver-Stockton College in several positions including public relations and assistant to the President. He met his wife, Joann, at the college and they became members of the Canton community. Along with being owners of a newspaper, they operated the Golden Eagle Riverboat for several years, which was a dinner theater where musicals and plays were performed. Many of the productions were ones that David Steinbeck wrote. Through the years, the family had many incidents in their lives that were
passed down from the generations as a family story, Dan always heard the stories and always kiddingly warned his family that he was going to write a book about his family’s antics. As he got older, more and more stories occurred and with encouragement from his friends and family, he complied several of his favorite tales and wrote the book. All of the stories in the book are true. Steinbeck said that his childhood was a wonderful adventure, filled with a loving family that enjoyed laughter and good times. His mom and dad had a wonderful sense of humor that was passed on to their children. He was taught at an early age to enjoy life and laughter is the key to a happy home. As he grew into adulthood he began to have many humorous adventures in his daily life, as a member of the community, a newspaper editor, family man and pastor of a church. He encourages everyone to write down some of their favorite family stories that have been passed on through the years to preserve for the future generations. Many local residents will either find themselves or their friends mentioned in the book. Dan’s wife Carla, illustrated the front cover, which shows Dan sitting under a tree and a squirrel dropping a nut on his head. The book is published by Xlibris, can be purchased by contacting Steinbeck at (573) 2883043 and are available in hard or soft cover. Dan Steinbeck is cur-

rita1@lewispnj.com
The Highland High School Band received national attention with their performances during the Gator Bowl activities in Jacksonville, Florida during the New Year’s Holiday and brought home a second place finish in the parade and in their field show. The band marched in the annual Jacksonville Gator Bowl parade on Dec. 31 and appeared in the half time show during the Taxslayer Gator Bowl football game on January 1. The Marching Highlanders were one of 40 bands that were auditioned to be a part of the Gator Bowl halftime show and competitions. Of those 40 bands, 15 were selected and of the 15 selected, seven bands raised the funds to make the trip. The students had several fundraisers to pay for the trip. Band director Ryan Christian said, “ I can honestly say this trip was a joy to be a part of and I am proud to be the Director of the Marching Highlanders. We appreciate the community and all the people that donated money or participated in our fundraisers to help us make this trip.” Christian

in the city’s annual parade. That evening, New Year’s Eve, they attended a formal awards dinner and dance, where they received the awards. Early on New Year’s Day they headed to the Gator Bowl. They enjoyed the pregame show with Dale Earnhardt Jr., making an appearance.
They were able to watch the football game, which featured Northwestern against Mississippi State, with Northwestern winning the game. The group performed on the field at halftime with several other bands. They watched more of the game and then boarded the buses to head back to Missouri. Several chaperones went on the trip including Karen Mittelburg and Penny Prigge. Mittelburg said she was amazed at how well the trip went and the outstanding conduct of all the band members. Prigge said the group was a great bunch of kids and the trip was wonderful. The Marching Highlanders are active in parades around the area and constantly are placing in the top three or receiving top honors in parade competition. The Highland Band has had several trips throughout the years, including those to Chicago, Liberty Bowl in Memphis, and represented Missouri in 2010 at the National independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C. The band will take a break from marching until next season. They perform at every home basketball game.
