Highland High School will have their annual Courtwarming activities Friday, Feb. 1. Royalty will be announced between games. The Highland varsitiy basketball teams will face Macon.

CANTON EAGLE DAY Canton Eagle Day is Saturday, Feb. 2 with eagle viewing at the Mississippi River Park shelter house from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Dr. Joe Coelho will have a slide show presentation of eagles with lectures presented at the top of each hour at the Lock and Dam 20 Lockhouse. A wildlife carving display by Donnie Raines is at the Canton Library from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. A wildlife slideshow and movie will be shown at the Lewis Street Playhouse at 3 p.m.

On Jan. 28, Culver-Stockton marks 160 years as an institution. The school is celebrating by declaring the day National Blue Day. All alumni and friends of the College are encouraged to wear blue to show their support of C-SC. On Jan. 28, 1853, the Missouri legislature approved the charter for a Disciples of Christ affiliated school, Christian University. In 1918, the school was renamed Culver-Stockton College to honor major donors to the school, Mary Culver and

Robert Stockton. During the past 160 years, the school has persevered through its share of hardships: Both Confederate and Union troops occupied campus during the Civil War; at least three school buildings have been completely destroyed due to fire, including “Old Main,” which at the time was the school’s only building; a tornado tore through campus, leveling the Joe Charles Field House, where just hours before hundreds of people had sat watching graduation. Now,

looking back, Culver-Stockton honors those tribulations as events that have shaped the path of the College. The school has also seen historic events and landmark achievements. C-SC was the first school west of the Mississippi River to be chartered specifically for co-education, and it also boasts the oldest fraternity west of the river. Honored visitors to campus include Eleanor Roosevelt and Ronald Regan, among many others. More importantly, over the years, over

Canton Recycling Center gives Lewis County a ‘greener’ option BRIANNA BARTLETT Reporter brianna@lewispnj.com A few years ago, many Lewis Co., residents didn’t have many options when it came to recycling. Some residents might’ve traveled to Quincy, while others might’ve just thrown their recyclables into the trash. This changed in 2009 when Culver-Stockton students began asking former Mayor Joe Clark why Canton had no recycling program. Soon, Canton City officials began exploring options that would allow the city to offer such a program. In the beginning, volunteers collected recycling in a trailer, but as word of the center spread, more residents began pouring in with their recyclables. Officials then responded by applying for a grant through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Once the grant money was received, the recycling center put the funds into buying a forklift and a bailer- a machine that can take large amounts of plastics and cardboard and press them into large cubes. Growth continued, and soon

Ayerco gave the center and volunteers permission to use the property at 509 N. 4th St. in Canton. Before long, Ayerco donated the property to the cause. The center is only open on Saturdays and is run by volunteers. The site has no heat, so during the winter months, the volunteers must dress warmly while braving the cold. Volunteers spend their time assisting people with their recycling, bailing, sorting, etc., as they assist the possible 40-50 people on any given Saturday. Over the last four years those people have contributed about 159 tons of recycled goods have been

shipped out of Canton, with all of the funds going directly back into the Recycling Center. The recycling center accepts newspapers and nonslick catalogues (such as phone books), office papers and shredded office paper, magazines, catalogs, slick inserts, cardboard boxes and chipboard boxes and #1 and #2 plastics as well as tin and aluminum cans. The center doesn’t ship other types of plastic or glass due to the cost being too high. Canton City Clerk Cindy Kell is thankful off all the supporters. “We have to thank the people and the businesses.

And without the property, we wouldn’t be able to do it.” The Canton Recycling Center is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For those who would like to participate or volunteer, contact Cindy Kell or La Trisha Crist at City Hall 573-288-4413. Volunteers to assist with sorting are needed. Kell does ask a few things of those wanting to recycle though, “Please be sure to take the lids off your plastic bottles. Our bailer can’t crush them with the lids on.” And also, “Please don’t leave your recycling outside our building during the week. It gets everywhere.”

sonal and professional support they give you is just unlike any other brand out there,” said Bob Rehm Sr., Managing Member of Eagle Ridge Hospitalities. “We are thrilled to have this property in our system. Not only is it a beautiful hotel but it is also in an awesome location where there is a ton to do.

December donations to C-SC highest in five years; second best in a decade Culver-Stockton College saw an impressive increase of charitable donations in the month of December, marking the college’s most successful December in five years. Giving totals ended over $647,000, with a 35 percent increase from December 2011. Donations received during the month also marked the second best fundraising result in the last decade.

Comfort Inn in Canton to become Centerstone Inn The Comfort Inn in Canton will become Centerstone Inn this week. In a press release following their announcement of a new property in Iowa, Centerstone has announced another hotel opening with a Centerstone Inn in Canton, Mo., with a grand opening date of Feb. 1, 2013. The 60-room Centerstone Inn is owned by Eagle Ridge Hospitalities, LLC and is located at 1701 Oak Street in Canton. As the former Comfort Inn, the Centerstone Inn continues with the same owners, management, and staff, offering the same accommodations with enhanced amenities. The driving force for the brand change was to continue to offer affordable pricing to guests. “Choosing to become a Centerstone was an easy decision for us because they are quite simply, the most franchise friendly brand available. Not only that, but the level of per-

ger endowment, campus beautification and paving, renovations to the Carl Johann Memorial Library, and the addition of a Recreation and Wellness Center. The campaign has drawn increasing levels of support, but more will be needed to reach its overall goal of $10.4 million. Alumni and friend support is vital to C-SC. Culver-Stockton accepts no federal or state monetary assistance, and therefore all operating costs and campus improvements are funded by C-SC’s own revenue sources, including private donations. CulverStockton is only one of a few colleges or universities in the country to take this position. For more information, contact Heidi Lanier at 573-288-6312 or at hlanier@culver.edu.

EDITORIAL DVENTURES OF WONDER MOM This weekend, I got to experience a new form of fun with my little girl. For Christmas, one of the many presents my daughter received was a round, plastic table with an oven attachment and a container in the center of the table which can hold all the plates, spoons, plastic food, etc., that came with the set. (Some of you may have seen the commercial for this table.) Since Christmas, it has seemed like Amaya’s only goal has been to see just how badly she can destroy her new playroom. More often than not, I walk into a room covered with plastic utensils, plastic balls, legos, stuffed animals, etc. On most of these days, I simply leave it as it is. At the moment, she doesn’t have a box to put these toys away in for this room, so trying to teach her to put the toys with their specific set seems nearly impossible for a two-year-old. But, once a week, I do go in pick it up for her, simply because, in my personal opinion, my make-believe tea parties would make much more sense if the table isn’t turned upside down. On one of these nights, I began to see the first real signs of my daughter’s imagination- which nearly made me cry. As I was sitting on the couch, Amaya toddled over to me holding a little plastic pot. Looking up at me and grinning, she firmly said, “Bite bites, mama.” I happily took the empty pot, but responded, “Mama needs a fork or spoon to eat this bite bite baby.” I didn’t expect her to understand, and when she

BARTLETT ran off giggling, I assumed she hadn’t. I was proven wrong. She came back holding both a spoon and a fork. Taking the spoon and leaving her the little fork, we sat at the coffee table and shared the best imaginary meal I’ve had in years. I felt as though I had found heaven here on earth. I could already see dressing her up in little pink tutu’s and tiaras with long fake pearls around her neck as she sips an empty tea cup while being surrounded by teddy bears and baby dolls. Looking down at Amaya, I rubbed my belly and told her she had cooked a “good bite bite.” As I handed the bowl back to her, she tilted her head a bit and stared at me strangely. Within seconds, the bowl had flown across the living room, along with the spoon, the fork, and anything else Amaya could get her hands on. Frantically, I tried explaining that we had finished all the food, but nothing eased it. After a few moments, she was a flopping, screaming blob on the floor. Motherhood…

Lewis County C-1 Board Minutes The Lewis County C-1 Board met on Jan.9, 2013. Submitted minutes are edited. A complete copy of the minutes can be obtained at the Lewis County C-1 Central office. The Board approved an updated substitute list. Approval was given for the resignation of Kerri Leeser and for a contract for Chance Raleigh, eighth grade CA teacher; Kyle Ellison, JV boy’s basketball coach and assistant varsity boy’s basketball coach and Kenny Grubb, JV girls basketball coach and assistant varsity girl’s basketball coach. The Board received copies of district policies that reference appropriate conduct/behavior for students and patrons attending any school function or who are on school property. They included Policy KK, visitors to district property/ events; Policy CF, school building administration; Policy CHCA, handbooks; and Policy KK-AP, visitors to district property events. The board directed the superintendent to investigate the legal ramifications of the Policy DJFPurchasing, due to the bidding process required. The Board discussed the purchasing of the infield materials for the varsity softball field and directed Mr. Buening to move forward. Lewis County Sheriff, David Parrish, gave the Board an informative summation of the safety within the Lewis County C-1 District. Superintendent Ebeling reported to the board how closely the sheriff’s department has

worked with the district. The Sheriff’s Department is an active participant in the procedures of the district’s Crisis Plan. Sheriff Parrish discussed he possibility of employing a School Resource Officer for the district. The cost for this employment would be shared between his department and the school district. He stressed that the County Commissioners desire to do whatever they can to help. The C-1 School District is unusual when compared in location to other schools that are within city limits and have a police force more readily available, where, in the situation of the C-1 district, the potential response time could be up to 30 minutes. The advantages of having a School Resource Officer was discussed and more discussion with the Commissioners, sheriff and school district will be held. A workshop entitled School Intruder Response will be held on Jan. 30. STRATEGOS International trains staff and employees on the procedures to bridge the gag between responding officers and school faculty, administrators and other school personnel in an active shooter situation. The training will be held Jan. 30 and school will not be in session that day.

Take for instance the account of the fight at Athens, where it is stated, the federal forces captured 400 or 500 horses, wagon loads of provision, etc. Here are the facts, briefly stated: before reaching Athens, Col. Green formed his men in lines and counted them 480 strong, every fourth man being detailed to hold horses. After making the attack Maj. Shacklett’s forces seemed to be hotly engaged. Col. Green sent Capt. W.S. Richardson’s company to sustain him. On withdrawal of our forces Richardson retired with Maj. Shacklett, hence lost a part of their horses not to exceed 40 as some were brought off by our men. As regards their capture of wagons, provisions, baggage, etc., it is all fiction as we had none there, all our baggage was left on Fox River seven miles distant and under guard. The account of our wonderful stampede, ditto. I was in Col. Green’s immediate command, perhaps heard every order he gave, and retired with him at our leisure. Resp’t M.M. Buford, LaBelle, Mo.

Linda Cupp retires from Town and Country Bank of Missouri Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com It is ironic that one of the things that Linda Cupp will miss the most when she retires this week is the object that has also caused her some stress, the Mississippi River. Mrs. Cupp last day at the Town and Country Bank of Missouri in LaGrange is Jan. 31 after working at the facility for 32 years. Cupp says besides all the wonderful people who work with her and her customers, she will miss looking at the beautiful Mississippi River every day, She won’t miss when the river exceeds its banks and threatens to flood the business which is located on the east side of Main Street in LaGrange. Mrs. Cupp began her banking career on Jan. 9, 1981, when she was hired by then vice-president Jenny Murphy. The bank was located just north of the current bank building. The bank was known then as Farmers and Merchants Bank. The LaGrange Bank is the oldest bank in Lewis County. That building was demolished last spring as part of the flood buy-out program. Other employees

at that time were President Dean Phillips and cashiers, Irma Lou Wiesemann and Alice Lee Solter. She also worked with Ken Schuetz for many years until his retirement. With the location next to the Mississippi River, the business has had to relocate a few times in the past twenty years. In 1993, water surrounded the building and a boat was used to transport customers and employees across Main Street. Customers were urged to retrieve the contents of the lock boxes if they were located close to the floor. Daily business was moved to the City Hall building. The proof operator machine could not be moved and was jacked up three feet and employees used the machine each day. In 1993, volunteers and workers kept the water out of the building. In 2008 water threatened the building again and the bank was relocated to the LaGrange City Hall, but before they could resume business, flood waters threatened that structure also and the bank was temporarily moved to the Catholic Church located on Route C, away from any flood waters. A temporary building facility was then put in place at the LaGrange Industrial Park. The

bank building on Main Street underwent renovations and the facility was once again in business at the Main Street location on July 31, 2009. Cupp says she was always interested in numbers and while attending LaGrange High School she was influenced by a wonderful teacher, Norman Merrell, who later became a Missouri State Senator. She loves the feeling of working with numbers and problems and being able to solve them. The last thirty plus years in banking has seen many changes. Cupp says computers has made many things much much easier, especially sending images of checks instead of the actual paper check. Automation has changed the banking industry and Cupp says many more changes will occur in the future. Cupp is married to her husband, Joe, and she has two children, Tony and Amber and a step-daughter, Brenda. They have four grandchildren. She plans to spend time with her grandchildren and enjoy their activities. She wants to take the time to enjoy a few things especially reading, puzzles, fishing and traveling. She says she is fortunate and blessed to have worked with nice people and she

LINDA CUPP

has enjoyed all the customers. She says she has gotten to know some really great people in her career and she will miss her daily interaction with her friends and customers. A reception honoring Mrs. Cupp was scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 31 at the Town and Country Bank of Missouri in LaGrange from 9 a.m. Until 3 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend this open house and wish her well in her retirement.
