Missouri Governor Jay Nixon visited Canton R-V School on Jan. 31. He spoke to students about his plans to increase school funding and to recognize the school for its continued academic excellence. Canton R-V Schools have been accredited “with distinction” for seven consecutive years by the State of Missouri. After his speech, the Governor asked Canton basketball player Austin Hoewing to shoot a few baskets with him.

In his State of the State speech given on Jan. 28, the Governor had called for $100 million in additional funding for K-12 classrooms, and a four percent increase of $34 million for colleges and universities. The Governor’s budget also includes funding to expand the A+

Schools program statewide. An additional $17 million is proposed for early childhood education. Nixon visited the Early Childhood classroom before he spoke to students and teachers in the Canton gym.

During his visit, Nixon said that “As a result of our relentless focus on fiscal discipline and job creation, businesses re hiring, our economy is growing, and unemployment has dropped to a four year low.

As we continue to balance the budget and make government more efficient, we now have an opportunity to make smart, strategic investments in education that will expand opportunities for students and strengthen our economy for years to come.”

“Early childhood education is proven to boost achievement in school and improve opportunities later in life, a smart investment with a big return,”

seemed to enjoy challenging Hoewing and applauded and smiled when Austin made his first shot. Nixon spoke with Hoewing for several minutes and autographed the basketball and presented it to Austin. For the record, the Governor did make a couple of baskets.

In an interview with the Governor after his speech, he was asked how parents and students can feel safe at school, with so many shootings happening across the country. Nixon said that by continuing to fund education, provide more funding and education for mental health disabilities and awareness, continue to provide more training to law enforcement, teachers, students and work as a community and state to protect our children together, He said he is not in favor of teachers being armed. He said safe schools should be a haven for students.

Gov. Nixon said. “These additional funds will help that every young child in our state comes to school ready to learn and ready to succeed.”

In a press release from the Governor’s office, the more than $100 million in additional funding for K-12 classrooms will help to train more teachers, modernize classrooms and extend Missouri’s school year.

Under Gov. Nixon’s proposal, Missouri’s school year will be extended to the national average of at least 180 days.

After his speech, Nixon invited Canton basketball team member Austin Hoewing to come down on court and shoot a few baskets with him. The Governor attempted several free throw shots that were close, but not through the hoop.

LOCAL NEWS Garner arrested for possession of explosive The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office arrested Gregory G. Garner, 17, of Ewing Mo., on Feb. 4, 2013, for allegedly possessing an explosive or incendiary material, a Class C Felony.

This arrest is in relation to a Feb. 1, 2013 investigation when law enforcement learned Garner had in his possession chemicals to manufacture gun powder.

During the course of the investigation law enforcement learned that the chemicals had been stolen from a Highland High School science room. At this point law enforcement has no indication Garner

School Intruder Training Held Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com Lewis County C-1 Schools held School Intruder Response training presented by Strategos for teachers, administrators, bus drivers, school personnel and area law enforcement members.

The training occurred on Jan.30.

According to the Strategos web information the mission of School Intruder Response training is to provide school districts, school administrators and school faculty with effective and practical training relating to the following: RECOGNIZING behavioral pre-cursors to “school violence” in given situ-

ations that have the potential to escalate PREVENTING escalation of behavioral pre-cursors relating to “school violence” by responding effectively RESPONDING effectively to “school violence” incidents if and when they occur.

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Officer, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Canton Police Department and several members of the LaGrange Police Department attended the training. LaGrange Police Sargent Don Cibert said the training is important for law enforcement and school personnel to be on the same page, so that each group is trained on how to react and respond in a crisis situ-

ation and so that each group also knows what to expect from each other and also how they can help each other. Several scenarios were presented and an active shooter scenario was simulated with teachers and law enforcement participating.

Highland Elementary assistant principal Sue Ann Gaus, said the training was very informative and school personnel are now taught to have an active response to an intruder. Teachers are the first responders on scene and were given the information needed to fight back and deter an intruder. Gaus said after the training they felt that they were empowered to do something and how simple things can act as

They are trained to take any “pop” sound seriously, because in many other shooting situations, people have heard a “pop” like a balloon bursting, when it is really gunfire they are hearing. The staff learned how to tie doors shut, barricade themselves with their students and how to take active measures if an intruder enters the school.

They also learned how law enforcement will respond to an active intruder and how they can assist.

Canton R-V School District will host the presentation at the end of February. School is not in session during the training.

COMMUNITY NEWS Thank a Farmer Week Canton celebrates Eagle Day Food, clothing, shelter, transportation…and so much more are products of agriculture. Join Missouri Farm Bureau and the 113 county Farm Bureau organizations across the state, February 10-16, as we pay tribute to Missouri’s farmers and ranchers with a variety of Thank a Farmer Week activities.

The Missouri Farm Bureau Thank a Farmer Week allows us to pause and be reminded of the efforts of farmers and why their work is important to all of us.

Today’s farmers grow more food and do it with fewer resources than any time in history. Consumer demands have changed over time, but farmers meet those needs by providing an increasing variety of goods. According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, technology and innovations in agriculture allow one U.S. farmer to provide enough food and fiber for 154 people around the world.

Even amidst the current growyour-own environment, most people have little contact with the source of their food supply.

Most consumers rely on others to produce some or all of what is needed. Statistics show farm families make up about 2 percent of the U.S. population, yet they provide for themselves and the other 98 percent.

Grocery shelves are filled with

an overwhelming number of food product choices. On average, nearly 40,000 different items appear in most shopping establishments. Restaurant menus boast a variety of items from which to choose. However, many people fail to connect the dots to realize farmers are the source of their supply of food, says Michele Munzlinger, Lewis County FB President.

Farmers provide an abundant, affordable and healthy food supply. Consumers in the U. S. spend less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food, based on USDA figures. That amount is less than any country in the world.

Other items we use daily come from agriculture. Whether it is personal care products, medical items, school supplies, printed materials, sports equipment, manufacturing or construction, agricultural products are in the mix. “Seldom do we stop and ask ourselves, ‘where did this come from?’ says Ms. Munzlinger.

“Farmers and what they provide should not be taken for granted”.

Agriculture is an important part of Lewis County’s economy.

Farm businesses give back to the community in many ways while they produce food and fiber for the world. So, join the Lewis County Farm Bureau as we pause to ‘Thank a Farmer’ for a job well done during our special promotion February 10-16.

Shelter Insurance® Foundation and agent Richard Horner sponsor local scholarship This spring, the Shelter Insurance® Foundation will award a $2000 scholarship to a graduate of Canton R-V and Highland High School. Shelter Agent Richard Horner sponsors and partially funds this scholarship.

A committee of local high school officials and community leaders will select the local recipient. The committee will consider each applicant’s scholastic achievements, educational goals, citizenship, moral character and participation and leadership in school and community activities.

The scholarship is given without regard to race, disability, religion, national origin or gender of applicants. The name of the recipient will be announced at the close of the school year.

The student may apply the scholarship funds toward tuition, fees, or campus housing for any course of study beginning the fall after the recipient’s high school graduation and leading to an aca-

demic degree at any accredited college or university. The Foundation makes payment directly to the school the recipient selects.

Applications and additional information about the Shelter Foundation Scholarship will be available in early March and should be completed and returned to the school official serving on the selection committee by March 31.

For more information, interested seniors should contact their high school counselor or principal or Shelter Insurance Agent Richard Horner.

The Shelter Insurance® Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation for charitable and educational purposes. It is sponsored by the Shelter Insurance Companies – offering auto, home, life, farm and business insurance services to customers in 14 states via a network of local insurance agents and headquartered in Columbia, Missouri.

Culver-Stockton College to launch distinctive online MBA Program Culver-Stockton College is expanding its curriculum to offer an online Master of Business Administration (MBA). To celebrate and provide more information to the public, there was a launch party Feb. 6, at the Pier Restaurant in Quincy from 5:15 p.m. to 7 p.m. For those unable to attend the launch, a live stream of the event will be available via culver.edu/ mbastream.

Culver-Stockton’s online MBA program is unique to the area due to the three specialized degree tracks offered.

Along with a specialization in management, C-SC is also offering a specialization in accounting and finance and a dual-track, double degree Master of Business Administration/Master of Science in Nursing (MBA/MSN) offered in partnership with BlessingRieman College of Nursing.

“One of the primary reasons we chose to launch an MBA was in response to accounting graduates interested in fulfilling the 150-hour requirement for the CPA” stated Dr. Dell Ann Janney, chair of the MBA Program and associate dean of experiential education.

The MBA with an accounting & finance specialization provides the accounting major undergraduate with better preparation and the additional hours required to sit for the

Uniform CPA Examination.

“It can also be very financially rewarding. Research shows that a CPA can earn nearly $1 million more than a noncertified accountant over a lifetime,” stated Janney. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of accountants and auditors is anticipated to grow faster than all occupations tracked by the Bureau. The BLS identifies the best prospects are for those “who have a college degree and professional certification, especially a CPA.” Earning an advanced degree is an important safeguard against a tough economy. “The job market demand continues to be strong for MBA graduates in general. The Corporate Recruiters Survey found that 70 percent of recruiters are looking for prospective employees possessing an MBA. The C-SC online MBA Program provides both affordability and flexibility in pursuing an MBA,” says Janney.

The MBA with a Management specialization is designed to provide a comprehensive program for business leaders. The dual MBA/MSN is the only program of this type in the area for health care administrators.

Class sizes in this new program will be small to allow for personalized attention from C-

SC’s highly-credentialed professors, and a limited number of openings in the MBA Program will be available. There has already been much anticipation for this program and C-SC alumna, Caly Cramsey, plans to enroll. “I am excited to have the opportunity to pursue my MBA online at C-SC while continuing to work fulltime. I know the program will offer me a challenging curriculum combined with the convenience and flexibility of an online program,” said Cramsey.

The C-SC MBA program begins fall 2013. All courses will be offered completely online, with five 8-week sessions starting in the fall and continuing year-round through the summer. A business degree is not mandatory for acceptance in the program, though there are some undergraduate prerequisites necessary for admission. Students are able to complete these required courses online through the Culver-Stockton College Connected Campus Program.

The MBA program has a fee, but the fee will be waived for any applications received by Thursday, February 14, 2013.

For more information, go to www.culver.edu/mba or contact the assistant administrator of MBA Program, Melinda Johnson at (573)288-6362 or at mjohnson@culver.edu.

Both county teams saw sports action over the week. Canton participated in the LaPlata Tournament and Highland played against Mark Twain and also celebrated Pink Night at home.

C-SC Mock Trial Team earns a sixth place finish and an Invitational Honorable Mention at Tournament The C-SC Mock Trial Team took to the road Jan. 18-19 to compete in the Mid-Missouri Mock Trial Invitational held at the University of Missouri Law School. Twentytwo teams competed in a four-round tune up to the Regional Tournament to be held in Kansas City in two weeks. C-SC finished tied for sixth place and received an Invitational Honorable Mention, the first one in the history of the C-SC Mock Trial program.

Mockers were also awarded 3 individual performance honors. Sarah Bouldin, senior legal studies major from Troy, Mo., won an outstanding witness award for her portrayal of the plaintiff, Andy Allen. Mark Boatman, senior criminal justice major from Wyaconda, Mo., also captured an

outstanding witness award for playing Reggie Rogers, a dive master who is one of the defense experts. Dylan Gauldin, junior legal studies major from O’Fallon, Mo., scored a perfect 20 points to win the outstanding attorney plaque on the plaintiff side of the case.

A perfect score of 20 is rarely achieved because it requires that both judges in both plaintiff rounds scored you as the best attorney. Mock Trial Coach Judy Abbott commented, “What you don’t know about that perfect 20 is that Dylan Gauldin just stepped into this attorney role last Monday when our plaintiff closer resigned at the last minute. Dylan had only 4 days to prepare, but he certainly hit that ball out of the park. The whole team is so grateful that he could

step in, pick up that role at the last minute, and lead them to their stunning 5-3 victory.”

Other last minute substitutions brought about by the sudden illness of a team member on the way to the tournament challenged the team to further juggle their roster. Brand new team member Ian Hoffman, freshman individualized political science major from Mundelein, Ill. picked up the role of Frankie Fernandez and Chelsea Hoffman, junior individualized major from Canton, Mo., was able to step up and take over the part of the defendant. Both did well in those roles to help their team win those rounds.

David Carrothers, senior lecturer in criminal justice, accompanied Coach Abbott and the team. He watched as the

team faced some serious last minute challenges to their roster.

All of these last minute changes did not deter the C-SC team from finishing 5-3, defeating Wheaton College, Northwest Missouri State and Washburn College. The team only dropped one round by a scant 4 points to University of MissouriColumbia. C-SC mockers take to the road in two weeks to compete in the 2013 AMTA Regional Tournament in Kansas City at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School. That tournament will decide who advances to the National Tournament in Memphis, Tenn.

Highland High School crowned courtwarming royalty on Feb. 1. Candidates were: freshman- Stephanie Dolan, Nathan Mittelberg, MaKenna Gray and Fernando Murphy. Sophomore- Casey Hinkle, Garrett Anderson, Sydney Luttrull and Austin Richmiller. Junior- Kristen Bringer, Jack Neisen, Brittany Wieprecht and Wes Cramsey. Seniors Ashton Luttrull and Brandon Davie were named queen and king. Taylor Wiseman and Derick Smith were first attendants.

Fourth Straight Year for Highland High School to Win in Seat Belt Competition Principal Alan Koch, Taylor Legg, Kimber Boyer, Dalton Hoffman and Jenna Stoll, S.A.D.D coordinators, and the Highland High School students were presented with a silver banner for their dedication and hard work during the Battle of the Belt competition.

Highland High School was one of six northeast Missouri schools to statewide and regional honors in the competition. The banner was presented during the Highland and Mark Twain Basketball game on Jan. 29.

This is the fourth consecutive year Highland High School has

received statewide and regional recognition for their seat belt usage of 91% or above. The Battle of the Belt is a student safety belt competition which runs from October 1 thru November 9.

The Missouri teen seat belt usage rate statewide is 66%; educating our young drivers on responsible driving habits doesn’t end with the competition. Please continue to keep reminding them about the importance of wearing their seat belt everytime they are in a vehicle and to NOT text and drive.

American Family Insurance Agent Lacy Seeger, Lewis County Sheriff David Parrish, Amy Crawford, MoDOT Area Engineer and Marisa Christy-Kerns, Senior Customer Relations Specialist for MoDOT’s Northeast Area presented the Banner to the Highland student body.

TEN RIVERS CHAPTER of LEWIS COUNTY 10th ANNUAL PHEASANTS FOREVER BANQUET The Ten Rivers Chapter of Pheasants Forever (PF) in Lewis County, MO will be hosting its 10th annual fund raising banquet on...

Feb. 23rd at the Caldwell Building, 1.5 miles west of Canton on Hwy 16.

The event will feature live and silent auctions, raffles, and games featuring some of the finest wildlife art, guns, and outdoor merchandise, much of which is exclusive to Pheasants Forever banquets.

“I would like to invite all of my past customers, friends and family to come see my son, Ashley the nicest person in the car business at Gem City Ford” Gary Bunch I can get any make or model of vehicle to fit a customers needs, all in a friendly atmosphere with ‘NO HIGH PRESSURE SALES TACTICS’.

Doors will open at 5:30 pm. and there will be a 16 oz. ribeye dinner with sides served to your table starting at 6:30 pm.

This banquet is one of the largest banquets of any wildlife organization in the area.

100% of the proceeds from this event will be used to restore valuable wildlife habitat, promote conservation education, and support youth organizations in and around Lewis County. No other national conservation in America has the power to spend 100% of its money in the community where it was raised. That local control has allowed the Ten Rivers chapter to spend tens of thousands of dollars towards its mission in Lewis County alone!

No other organization in Lewis County does more for wildlife habitat and conservation education than the Ten Rivers Chapter of Pheasants Forever.

Nationally, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, are the fastest growing conservation organizations in America. Very few organizations are as fiscally responsible as Pheasants Forever. With 90% of its national revenue put directly into its mission, PF ranks in the top 5% of all charities in America, according to Charity Navigator.

For tickets or to find out more, call Rob Power 217 430 7959, Rob Carmichael 217 242 1134 or Mike Serbin 573 248 4877.

Maywood News

By Loretta Bringer It seemed the predicted snow flurries all came at once on Saturday evening. An inch of snow was a surprise for us.

Bro. Jeremy, pastor at South Union was ill on Sunday and Dr. Anthony Allen filled the pulpit. He had his son with him and had a wonderful sermon for the congregation. Dr. Alllen is President of Hannibal LaGrangeUniversity in Hannibal.

Paul and Irene Durst visited with Nellie Snodgrass two times this week. She is recovering from heart surgery and hopes to go home soon. Her story was in the Quncy Herald-Whig health supplement magazine on Saturday.

Wayne Snodgrass, Linda Denemark, and Paul and Irene Durst enjoyed pizza at the Tower on Monday evening.

Bobby and Rachel Bringer Shepherd attended the Ducks Unlimited Banquet in Palmyra on Saturday evening and said there was an excellent crowd.

Mary Speckhart, Paul Durst’s sister, was in Blessing Hospital and Paul and Irene visited with her on Thursday.

Loretta Bringer had orientation for two new members of the Hannibal Regional Hospital Auxiliary on Tuesday. She enjoyed lunch with Judge Bringer Shepherd.

Friday evening a plaque was presented in memory of Russell Bringer at the Highland High School basketball game. He was honored for his years of support for the sports programs at Highland.

His daughter, Becky Fleer, and son. Rodney Bringer were in attendance as well as his sister, Ann Brink and brother, Marvin Bringer. His granddaughter, Morgan, is a member of the of the Highland High School basketball team.

Darrell and Phyllis Eisenberg, and Craig, Nikki, and Emma Brinkman attended a Sports Expo in Springfield, Il on Saturday.

Canton Board Minutes Minutes from the Canton City board. Minutes are edited for publication. A full copy of the minutes can be obtained at the Canton City Hall.

The Canton City Board met on Dec. 17. Attending were Mayor Phillips, aldermen Bracey, Janney, Dodd, Upchurch, Wolf and Carlin. Also in attendance; City Attorney Smith, Public Works Director George Hausdorf, City Clerk Kell, and Chief Shelley.

A proclamation for URSA Farmer’s Cooperative was prepared to acknowledge the economic benefit of their presence here in Canton. A representative from UFC was unavailable. Mayor Phillips will deliver the proclamation to their location at a later date.

The board adopted a no U-Turn Policy for the City of Canton Police Officers. The policy states Police Officers will not perform a U-turn on state roads, highways, and interstates except when operating with lights and sirens activated.

Gov-Teller will provide the City an option for accepting credit and debit payments without the City absorbing the fees for the use of these cards. The fees will be charged directly to the consumer before they agree to make a payment using their debit or credit card. GovTeller will replace the current system in place through First Data. Phillips recommended the City not accept American Express Cards or participate in the voice recognition feature at this time.

Phillips explained to members of the Board that the City of Canton has acquired the Canton Motel property, located at 406 College Street, and will proceed to sell it by sealed bid. The sale contract for the property will include a 15 day deadline for a written plan for the property. Any portion of the written plan for renovation will need to be carried out within 180 days of the closing of the sale of the property. Execution of any demolition will be required to be completed within 90 days of the closing of the sale of the property. A notice to bidders will be advertised.

It was approved to adopt the policy that the City of Canton maintain two months of operational expenses in reserves for the General Fund. Wolf seconded and the motion carried.

Police Committee met and discussed the seat belt and child restraint City Ordinances. The committee agreed to update the City’s ordinance to match the State of Missouri laws regarding seat belts and child restraint laws.

It was approved to update the City Ordinance to the current State standards for enforcement of seat belt and child restraint laws.

The ordinance requiring fences around swimming pools was discussed and the committee requested fencing only be required around in-ground swimming pools.

No action was taken.

The committee also discussed Missouri State Law that holds the owner of the property or the individual responsible for the property responsible for underage drinking. This is pertinent information for CulverStockton College students. A Fraternity President could be arrested for supplying alcohol to a minor if underage drinking occurs on the premises of the Fraternity House.

It was suggested to meet with Culver-Stockton officials and make sure they are aware of this law.

Public Works met and discussed progress on the fiveyear plan. The new water main along Grant Street has been laid. Residential connections will be completed as weather permits. Public Works is currently installing a new water main between Jefferson and Green to increase water volume for the trailer court. Tom Niemann recently purchased the trailer court and will be installing individual meters for each trailer. Public works also discussed grading alleys and all alleys will be graded three times a year.

The North East Missouri Solid Waste District is accepting another round of grant applications. The recycling program would like to submit another application for enhancements to the current facility and items to increase collection of material. The grant would request trailers to be placed in town for businesses to put their cardboard in and funds to have electricity put in the building. The Board approved submitting an application for the grant.

SPORTS Barnes commits to Eastern Michigan University Austin Barnes, son of Angela Barnes and grandson of Karen Miller of Knox City, gave a verbal commitment to Eastern Michigan University to assume Punting responsibilities as a freshman.

Austin Barnes, a senior punter and kicker for Panthers of O’Fallon Illinois Township High School was the St. Louis Post’s 1st Team All Metro Punter and Belleville News-Democrat’s firstteam All-Area punter after averaging 44.86 yards on 28 punts. He also had four field goals and 36 extrapoints for the Panthers, earning plenty of recruiting attention.

“Barnes had a lot of preferred walk-on opportunities at some really big schools, but I don’t think he wanted to run the risk of that, because you never know what’s going to happen,” coach Joggerst (O’Fallon High School Head Football Coach) said of Barnes, who had preferred walk-on offers from Alabama, Miami and Minnesota. “Instead, he chose a scholarship of-

fer from Eastern Michigan, which plays in the Mid-America Conference. Other D1 offers came from Florida Atlantic University, Southeast Missouri, Texas Southern University, Dayton and Alabama State.

Barnes didn’t want to run the risk of waiting, because schools are only taking one kicker and most of them are not taking any,” coach Joggerst said.

“It’s 100 percent paid for and that’s hard to pass up.” Joggerst said Barnes (6-0, 185) will start as the Freshman Punter and have an opportunity to compete to handle kickoff duties as well. Eastern Michigan University games will be aired on ESPN. The O’Fallon kicker also helped thousands of canned goods get donated to the area food pantry.

Thanks to the kicking of the O’Fallon Township High School student, more than 3,700 canned goods were donated. The senior kicker/punter organized Kickin’ It for Cans, a campaign to encourage

Lewis County Farm Bureau PO Box 35 Monticello, MO 63457 573.767.5351

metro-east businesses, school groups and others to donate cans for every successful kick he made during the regular football season.

Barnes right foot landed 32 successful kicks and netted a donation of 3,756 cans and a $250 check.

Kickin’ It for Cans inspired a high school basketball player in Indiana to also do something similar.

Barnes has a list of Achievements that include 2013 U.S. Army All American Bowl 1st Alternate Punter East Team, 2012 All State Illinois Punter Honorable Mention (Illinois doe not have a Punter All State Position) 2012 Back to Back All Conference 1st Team Punter, 2012 All Metro Missouri and Illinois 1st Team Punter, 2012 1st Place Punter NCS Nationals in Florida, 2012 NCAA 1st Place Punter Auburn University 2012 NCAA 1st Place Kick Off Auburn University 2011 1st Place Punter University of Illinois.

The Tigers pose with their trophy, coach Andy Anderson and assistant coaches after winning the LaPlata Tournament.

The Canton R-V Tigers won the LaPlata Tournament after facing Madison High School on Jan. 29 and winning 95-28, defeating Atlanta on Jan. 31 71-38 and moving to battle Northeast (Cairo) on Feb. 2 to win the championship 66-60.

The Lady Tigers faced Northeast (Cairo) on Jan. 28 and were defeated 6238. They were also defeated by North Shelby 43-31 on Jan. 30. On Feb. 1, the girls came back and defeated Atlanta 44-31.
