The City of Canton held a special board meeting with Canton Senior Housing residents with over 75 people attending concerning information about a meter charge and rate increase for water.
BY RITA COX EDITOR rita1@lewispnj.com
The City of Canton held a special open council meeting at the United Methodist Church in Canton on Feb. 5 to give residents of Canton Senior Housing a chance to ask questions about an ordinance that has recently been enforced. According to the city municipal code Section 700.115: SEPARATE CONNECTIONS FOR EACH USER The City requires each user of water and/or sewer services provided by the City to install and maintain a separate connection with the City water and sewer mains; customer connections intended to serve one (1) user shall not serve any other user in any way; even if both users are on the same lot or property. Darlene Mohr, manager of the Canton Senior Housing and the Senior Housing residents are questioning why the city waited 40 years to enact this ordinance that they feel targets the elderly, disabled and veterans who are surviving on a fixed income. The Senior Housing complex has three meters. The City of Canton is requiring each apartment in the city to be charged for
a meter, which means that Senior Housing would be charged for 77 meters instead of the three currently used. Meters will not be installed because installation would be too costly for both Senior Housing and the city. Mayor Jarrod Phillips began the meeting with a power point presentation to answer some of the concerns. The presentation included facts about the City of Canton’s water and sewer system. The city has 28 miles of water lines with 935 individual customers. The sewer has 15 miles of sewer lines connected to four pumping stations that send wastewater to the lagoon system. The wastewater treatment lagoon receives over 300,000 of gallons of sewage per day. Phillips explained that both the water and sewer systems are inspected by the Department of Natural Resources(DNR) and the system could also be taken over by DNR if the city fails to keep the system operating as laid out by DNR. With the water revenue collected, the city replaces water lines, upgrades water meters and funds the daily operations of the water treatment plant and water distri-
bution system. Revenue also goes to paying off debt for the water and sewer systems. Phillips also explained about grants, debt, how the city is trying to keep costs down and why it is necessary to raise rates. In July 2012, all customers of the city had a rate increase to the minimum assessment and Phillips explained that every house and multi-unit dwelling is paying the same minimum. Senior Housing was phased in with the first rate increased by $15 per apartment per month. In July 2013 the last phase will go into effect in the amount of $14.45 for a total amount of $29.45 per apartment. The rate impacted a total of 160 individual apartments with Senior Housing having 77, or 48 percent of the total apartments impacted. Phillips told the audience that the city is certainly not targeting any group of people for the increase, especially the elderly. After the mayor’s presentation, concerned citizens and residents of Senior Housing were given a chance to ask questions and speak about how the rate increase Story continues on page 2A
CITY OF CANTON RECEIVES FUNDS THROUGH SAFE ROUTES The City of Canton will receive a $232,549 infrastructure grant through the Safe Routes to School program for new ADA accessible sidewalks to begin at 7th and Nesmith Streets and run along 7th, White, 6th and Washington Streets and end at the Canton R-V School. The Federal SRTS Program provides Federal-aid highway funds to State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) solely for the purpose of SRTS infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects, and to administer state SRTS programs that benefit elementary and middle school
children in grades K-8. Missouri’s SRTS Program is administered by MoDOT, however these funds cannot be used for road or bridge type projects. The SRTS program is focused on providing safety improvements, ADA improvements, safety education and encouragement for grade school (K-8) children to be able to walk to school safely. The SRTS program will benefit communities by making bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation alternative encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle for school
children from an early age. General information can be found online at http://www.modot.mo.gov/. Click on “Safety� and then go to Safe Routes to School.

LOCAL NEWS Anti-bullying program to be presented at Highland
Three arrests made in Lewis County
Canton Aldermen meet with Senior Housing Residents Continued from page 1A will effect them. Mohr believes that there must have been an agreement made at some time before or during the construction of the Senior Housing, where the city didn’t require each apartment to have separate meters. She said that somewhere in the old minutes should contain the discussion leading up to the building of Senior Housing. Mohr said she hasn’t been provided the minutes. City officials have said all minutes of past meetings can be viewed and anything requested has been provided and the Citywill continue to provide any minutes or information that is requested or answer any further questions. At the end of the meeting, the residents asked the Board of Aldermen to reconsider enforcing the ordinance. Darlene Mohr said she would like the city to consider letting the complex continue to operate on three meters as it has done for the last forty years. Senior Housing has retained an attorney and will pursue the issue.
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office has made three Felony arrests following a three-month multi-jurisdictional theft investigation. Sheriff’s deputies were called to a rural Monticello, Mo farm on Dec. 12, 2012 in reference to a large amount of Stainless Steel Livestock feeders and watering systems which had been stolen from a Swine Production operation. Sheriff Deputies identified a suspect and through extensive investigation, then located and identified two more defendants that were responsible for the thefts and the subsequent sale of the stainless steel items to area salvage operations in both Missouri and Illinois. The estimated value of the items stolen were nearly $39,000.00. The following individuals were located and arrested on outstanding Lewis County Warrants with the assistance of the Monroe City Police department: Ryan L Gooding, 42, of Monroe City, Joseph W. Worrell, 23, of Hannibal and his wife, Ida M. Worrell, 20, also of Hannibal. All three subjects are being held in the Lewis County Jail on the charge of Theft/ Stealing Property of more than $25,000.00. Gooding and the Worrell’s are being held in lieu of $30,000.00. This investigation continues.
On Tuesday, February 26, 2013, Lewis County C-1 School District will host Tina Meier of the Megan Meier Foundation. She will be presenting anti-bullying messages to parents, students, and community members. Everyone is welcome to attend this event. Tina Meier is the president and executive director of the Megan Meier Foundation (www.meganmeierfoundation.org), named for her late daughter. Tina recently participated in the Presidential Conference on Bullying Prevention at the invitation of The White House and the U.S. Department of Education. Tina Meier will present at Highland High School in Ewing, Mo., at 6:30 p.m. in the commons. The presentation will provide up-to-date information about the dangers that children face online as well as offline. The informa-
RYAN GOODING
tion presented will be useful for students as well as parents with children of all ages, not just those who have children at the high school level. Topics discussed will be: Megan Meier’s story, bullying, bystanders, cyberbullying, sexting, suicide statistics as well as helpful resources. Due to the sensitive topics that will be discussed, only children in the sixth grade and above are encouraged to attend.

LOCAL NEWS Remember, Money That’s Spent In Lewis County Stays In Lewis County!
Humphrey Feed and Seed Humphrey Feed and Seed, located at 22593 State Highway 16 in Monticello, is owned by Vancell and Sharon Scifres. Mrs. Scifres’ parents, Donald and Thelma Humphrey, began Humphrey Feed and Seed in 1946 in uptown Monticello, where the post office is now located. They sold feed, milk, cream, eggs and other produce. Thelma Humphrey still resides in Monticello, Mr. Humphrey passed away in 1980. The business relocated to their current location in 1962. Vancell Scifres began working there in March of 1979 and in 1982 the couple purchased the business. Humphrey Feed and Seed has seen many changes over the years, but a few things haven’t changed, such as the friendly quality service they provide to each of their customers. Humphrey Feed and Seed offers Purina Brand feed for cattle, dog and cat food, horse feed, hog feed and an unusual product for this area, monkey feed, that a local customer purchases. As an agricultural fertilizer business, anhydrous ammonia is one the the products and services they offer. With anhydrous ammonia being a target for criminal use in the last few decades, many added security measures are in place and Scifres says he is very grateful for the extra security the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol has provided. Through the years many updates have occurred including auto steer custom spreader, variable rate technology which allows spreading product by grid map. The vertical fertilizer blender can blend any formulation needed and the busi-

February 14 is a day for love, but this Valentine’s Day will be a little sweeter for Harry and Judy Hall of Moberly, Mo. as the couple celebrates 50 years of marriage together. Judith Virginia Lillard (Steinbeck) Hall grew up in Canton, Mo. and graduated from Culver-Stockton with a B.S. degree in education in 1955. Harry Eugene Hall grew up in Boonville, Mo. and received a M.A. degree in education from Kirksville State Teachers College in 1951. Prior to returning to college, Harry served in the Navy Submarine Service. The two met while Harry was Superintendent of the Canton R-V School District, and Judy taught 2nd grade in the district. Later, Harry and Judy were the widower and widow with a total of six children when they were married on February 14, 1963. (Judy lost her husband, Tom Steinbeck, in 1960 in a family car accident, while Harry lost his wife Mary by sudden death in 1961.) Harry’s sons Mark, Mike, David and Dale Hall, Judy’s children Susan and Tim Steinbeck, and the couple’s mothers, Pauline Hall and Jennie V. Lillard all stood up with the couple as they exchanged vows. The Reverend Aubrey Moncrief conducted the ceremony at 2:00 p.m. at the home of Judy’s mother in Canton, Mo. The family moved to Higginsville, Mo in 1967 where Harry worked as the Superintendent of Lafayette County C-I School District and Judy taught first grade. Their children Mike, Susan, David, Dale, and Tim graduated from Higginsville High School. The couple left Higginsville in1978 and moved to the Westran R-I School District where Harry was Superintendent and Judy taught third grade. Harry retired in 1986 followed by Judy in 1997. “Life after retirement has been good,� said Harry. Since retirement, the couple has enjoyed their time together. They have traveled to various destinations across the country by motor home and taken several cruises including to Alaska, the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, and Hawaii. The couple remains active in community affairs and the First Baptist Church in Moberly. Over their fifty years together, their family has grown and dispersed. Mark and Dale Hall have passed away. Dale’s son Reed now lives in Kansas City. Mark’s children, Vince, Kimberly, Peggy Sue and Caleb now live in the Kansas City area as well. Mike and wife Cate live in Laurel,

LOCAL NEWS St. Patrick’s Day activities planned Consider joining the folks in St. Patrick, Mo., on Saturday, March 16, 2013 for Irish Road Bowling! In addition to the special cancellation stamp sponsored by the Shrine of St. Patrick, visitors will find the 2nd Annual Irish Road Bowling event. Irish Road Bowling is an ancient game, played for more than 300 years in County Armagh in Northern Ireland and in County Cork in Southern Ireland. The best description of game is that it is like golfing with a cannonball and a good sense of humor. Irish Road Bowling consists of a ball, called a “bowl.” It is made out of steel and weighs 28 ounces, heavy enough to pick up speed yet small enough for any person to handle. Teams of four compete, taking turns throwing the bowl as far as they can to get it across the finish line.
Scored like golf, the fewest number of shots from the start to the finish line wins. Teammates not throwing at the time go 20-30 yards down the road to mark the desired path of the bowl. They stand like human croquet wickets, feet apart, straddling the perfect path to be taken to achieve maximum distance. The game will take place on Highway 81 South, south of the St. Patrick city limits. Teams of four people should register by sending an email to stpatrickirishbowling@gmail.com with names and contact information by Tuesday, February 19. All participants must be 21 years of age or older and participants and spectators are encouraged to dress in spring regalia and Irish green. Teams will be provided with all essential equipment which includes the bowl, scorecard, and chalk. Team fee is $20, and can be paid the day of event. Check-in at St. Patrick’s Old Irish Gift Shoppe begins at 9:30 am on March 16. Road Bowling begins at 10am. Participants are welcome to bring their own rolling coolers and beverages. Contest runs rain or shine. A maximum of 40 teams can participate. For more information, call 217-242-5593.
Lewis Co. Soil and Water Local artist displays work Conservation District to at Blessing Hospital hold open house The Lewis County Soil and Water Conservation District will have an open house/supervisor election on Thursday, Feb. 21 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the USDA office in Monticello. All Lewis County landowners are eligible to vote in this election. Ronald Krueger currently serving as Chairman for the soil district is seeking re-election for the LaBelle/Reddish Township area. Krueger has served on the board since 2001. Jeff Whan of Lewistown will be running against Krueger. David Stice, a member of the SWCD board of Supervisors since 2007, is also seeking re-election. Stice represents Canton/Union Township; James Upchurch of Canton will oppose Stice. Lewis County SWCD Supervisors strive to provide leadership for resource management and application of our natural resources and provide technical service for managing our natural resources. The Soil District also works to educate children and adults concerning our natural resources. The Soil District will be serving snack foods throughout the day.
The artwork of Debra K. Scoggin/Myers is on display during February in the main lobby of Blessing Hospital at 11th Street in Quincy. Works include acrylics, watercolor, pastel, photography and printmaking. The majority of the work in this exhibit is derived from her rural roots. Scoggin/Myers’ work earned first place at the Missouri State Art Education Association Exhibition in 2011 and 2012, and Honorable Mentions in the Missouri National Watercolor Juried Exhibit in 2012 and the Oakley Lindsey Show in 2013. Her art training includes a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia; and an Associate of Arts degree with Honors, Bachelor of Fine Arts and a lifetime teaching certification from Columbia College. Scoggin/Myers is also a Lecturer of Art at CulverStockton College, Canton, Mo., and a resident of Ewing, Mo.
The best route into St. Patrick, Missouri for the Irish Road Bowling event is Highway 61 North to State Highway Z. Drive 3.9 miles, and then turn left on Missouri Highway 81 South. Throughout the day, the public can also enjoy Irish food and live music on the 16th. Then come back on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th for Dinner at the Shrine of St. Patrick, Irish music and other events held throughout the day for your enjoyment!

On Tuesday, Jan. 29, OATS representatives met with their local legislators to remind them of the importance of Missouri’s public transportation system. The main message was to ask Legislator’s for their support for public transit, and remind them that OATS is an important part of Missouri’s public transportation funding. Budgetary decisions made in Jefferson City affect the services that OATS is able to provide in their local communities. Sheree Webb and Donna Turnbough of OATS met with officials at the Capital. They expressed their appreciation to the Legislators and conveyed the importance of public transportation to their communities in hopes of encouraging support of future funding. Webb, Turnbough, and other agency representatives, were at the Capital on behalf of the more than 36,000 Missourians who rely on OATS to meet their basic transportation needs. Specific funding issues include asking for support of MoDOT’s request for $5.5 million for transit operations from both the General Revenue and the State Transportation Fund. OATS, Inc., a non-for-profit corporation, provided 1,702,272 one-way trips to over 36,000 Missourians last year. These trips were made to ensure that thousands of Missourians had access to doctors, pharmacies, work, nutrition sites, school, sheltered workshops, Dialysis and essential shopping. OATS is funded, in part, an allotment of federal funds from the Missouri Department of Transportation, and through contracts with Missouri Elderly and Handicapped Transportation Assistance Program (MEHTAP), private contracts, rider donations and contributions. For more information about OATS, Inc., please visit their website at www.oatstransit.org; “Like” us at Facebook.com/oatstransit.
To all land representatives of any farms lying within Lewis County, Missouri, notice is hereby given that on the 21st day of February, 2013, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. an election will be held to elect the required number of supervisors to the Board of Supervisors of the Lewis County Soil and Water Conservation District.

COMMUNITY NEWS Pasture to Table Lester Hoffman of Canton and Robert Farr of LaGrange, recall a time when the dairy business was a way of life for many Lewis County farmers. This is part one of the two men’s recollections of a time gone by. Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com Lester Hoffman said the first time he milked a cow, at age 4 or 5, he had to milk her while she was laying down, cause he was too little to reach the udders. Robert Farr began milking cows at the same young age and thought he would outsmart the cow and avoid getting kicked by going around her back side and crawling under the cow from the front, where he promptly got kicked. The two men, both in their eighties, recalled the days where milk cows were an important part of every farm. Besides providing dairy products for consumption, having milk cows meant milking twice a day, every day, no matter weather or other conditions. Both lived on farms in their youth, where they had to do chores which included milking the cows and taking care of the animals. The families depended on the dairy products for their tables and for the extra income. Farr said his father, Richard Farr, would have his three boys milk the cows, and then go through and strip the udders after the children were finished to squeeze out every last drop of milk. Dairy cows have to be milked twice a day and if not milked their udders become uncomfortable and could potentially lead to less milk production and health problems for the cow. The animals are creatures of habit, the same cow always leads the way. Cows are put into
a barn to milk and usually the cows are put into stanchions. A stanchion is used to hold a cow still while giving her shots, oral medicines, simple medical procedures, or milking. There are different types for different purposes. A simple head gate is usually used for milking and the cow is usually fed while being milked. The cows usually have the same spot in a row of stanchions and normally they automatically take the same spot. Of course, sometimes the cows had different ideas and could be a little cantankerous. Hoffman and Farr both had to get up early each day and go out to the barn and get the milking done, and hurry and finish the chores before going to school each day, and every day was different, It could be very frustrating to have almost a full bucket of milk and the cow decides to kick the bucket over or set a manure splattered foot in the fresh milk. Losing milk like that could mean no food for the family and a loss of income, so the boys were very careful with the product. A cow will also use her tail so shoo away fly, and the boys were hit is the face many times with a well aimed tail, that wasn’t really the cleanest thing to have wiped across your face early in the morning. Hoffman continued to have a dairy farm through the years and Farr went to work for Producers Creamery and worked there until the business closed in March of 1973. Hoffman was President of the board of directors for the Creamery and Farr was the manager. Farr owned and milked several cows while working for the Creamery. Hoffman was one of the leading suppliers of milk to the company. The two have maintained their friendship through the years. Producers Creamery was established in 1928 in LaGrange, Mo. and provided a needed facility for farmers to sell their milk. At that time in Lewis County, almost every farmer had dairy cows to provide food for their

LESTER HOFFMAN (L.) AND ROBERT FARR (R.)
families. Many people living in the small towns, also usually had one cow to provide milk for their own personal use. Most farmers had more milk than their family could use and sold the milk to the Creamery, where it would be bottled for consumption and also made into other products. Hoffman continues to live in rural Canton, on the same farm where his parents had lived. After returning home from the service, he purchased the farm and he and his wife Leta, began farming and raising dairy cattle. Hoffman said electricity came to the farm after 1950. Farr was born on a farm in rural LaGrange and after marriage to his wife, Jeanie, they owned a small farm in LaGrange, where Farr continues to reside. Both men give a lot of credit to their late wives, who helped them with whatever needed to be done, all worked long hours and at the same time raising a family. (Next week, part two of Lester Hoffman and Robert Farr telling about life in the dairy business.)

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. 23 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.
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.

In Proud Recognition of our Future Farmers National FFA Week February 16 - 23
The FFA Creed I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds - achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of dis-
couragement, I cannot deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so--for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when
needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task. The creed was written by E. M. Tiffany, and adopted at the 3rd National Convention of the FFA. It was revised at the 38th Convention and the 63rd Convention.
FFA Week Events for 2013 On Wednesday, Canton FFA students will participate in a PALS reading to Elementary students and also wear their official FFA wear. Thursday marks blue and gold day with bingo at the Lewis County Nursing Home at 6:15 p.m. Friday, February 22 is ‘When country comes to town’ where FFA students can drive their tractors to school. Also on Friday will be the Canton FFA Alumni Dinner at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria. On Saturday, Canton FFA will celebrate the close of FFA week by bowling at the Cotton Bowl from 6-8 p.m.

Lewis County C-1 FFA students grow poinsettias FFA
celebrates 85 years According to the FFA website, Future Farmers of America was founded in 1928. The organization brought together students, teachers and agribusiness to solidify support for agricultural education. In Kansas City’s Baltimore Hotel, 33 young farm boys charted a course for the future. Since 1928, millions of agriculture students have donned the official FFA jacket and championed the FFA creed. FFA has ensured that all students could reap the benefits of agricultural education. Today, the National FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The organization is expanding the nation’s view of “traditional” agriculture and finding new ways to infuse agriculture into the classroom. Today, there are 557,318 FFA members, aged 12-21, in 7,498 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Forty-four percent of FFA members are female. FFA chapters are in 18 of the 20 largest U.S. Cities, including New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. The top five membership states are Texas, California, Georgia, Missouri and Oklahoma.

In conjunction with the National FFA week theme “Grow,” Lewis County C-1 FFA members have been working with the chapter theme “Every Member Every Day” to emphasize that members can make a difference and find success in what they do every day. Each month officers introduce a new goal that encourages the membership to participate in growing the chapter, the community or themselves. Goals have encouraged members to participate in community service, strive for better grades and build the chapter. With 73 members, the chapter is the largest and most active it has been for several years. The C-1 chapter has had a very successful year with representation at Area Leadership Conference, Greenhand Motivational Conference, Missouri State FFA Convention, National FFA Convention, State FFA Leadership Camp and Washington Leadership Conferences. These conferences give members the opportunity to network and develop skills that they bring back to use within their chapter. Community service is an important part of chapter activities, with members making door decorations for LaBelle Manor, picking up trash and helping prepare the fairgrounds among other activities. New to our community service calendar this year, are Red Cross blood drives which were held in October, December and February. The drives have been a huge success and we hope to continue to meet our donor goals. The chapter holds many events for members to participate in throughout the year. Over the past year they have enjoyed chapter barnwarming, activates after each meeting, area barnwarming, area battle of the chapters, the annual chapter and area banquet’s and Career Development and Leadership Development Events. Plans are underway for a busy spring as members are looking forward to competing at LDE’s and CDE’s, attending State Convention, introducing agriculture to elementary students and preparing for the summer fair season.
We hope your future will be bright, whichever Agricultural area you may pursue. Schlager Farms Jim and Sharon Schlager

When school stated back the students celebrated with an outdoor water balloon party for returning members, potential new members, and parents. The trap shooting team was very busy with meets every Saturday and practice twice a week. In September the chapter traveled to Columbia for Bradford Field Day sponsored by the University of Missouri. Students rotated through educational stations on many different topics in agriculture, some of the favorite stations were corn maze, bee keeping, and weed identification booth. In October the chapter held Food for America where elementary students rotate through stations focusing on plants, animal handling, and natural resources. At the end of October the chapter took 8 members to National Convention where they were very busy the entire week participating in sessions, volunteering, touring, and having fun at the rodeo and haunted house. In November the chapter attended Area Barnwarming in Kirksville. Students enjoy the evening making new friends, dancing, and competing in fun games. The chapter held a Thanksgiving dinner for chapter members, parents and friends. At the end of November the chapter held a blood drive where they brought in 21 donors.

The Canton FFA Alumni started in the fall of 2011 with the help of Lezlie Taylor, Canton R-V FFA advisor. A fund raiser of a spring machinery auction was held in March 2012. This year it will be held on Saturday, March 2. Canton FFA Alumni officers are Lezlie Taylor, Canton FFA instructor, Rick Hinton, President, Jeff Logsdon, vice president Carla Stainbrook, treasurer and Lisa Logsdon, secretary The fundraising sale was started to assist Canton FFA instructor Lezlie Taylor with financial help for her students with field trips to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis and to Washington,
DC. The 2012 auction was very successful with the help of Alumni members, Canton FFA members, Sullivan Auctioneers, and many volunteers. Last year the Alumni was able to provide scholarships, help with shop projects and other small projects the kids in FFA may need. Scholarship recipients for 2012 were: Clayton Hinton, Nathan Lewis, Amy McDermott, Victoria Pearl, Aury Randolph, and Cody Sherwood. The Alumni is in need of parents to join to help out with new thoughts on how to assist and help with the projects done with the Canton FFA kids. There has been a lot of interest in this year’s sale.
Anyone who would like to consign an item may contact one of the FFA alumni officers or one of the numbers listed in an advertisement in this issue, along with consignment delivery dates. Sullivan Auctioneers will assist with the sale again this year. Proceeds from the commission will fund projects for 2013. The sale will be at the Caldwell building, Highway 16, Canton, Mo., and feature farm and livestock equipment, vehicles, small farm items, hay and straw and other items. No furniture, household items or car tires will be sold. Everyone is welcome to attend.

SCHOOLS NEWS Programs implemented at Culver-Stockton to Annual Faculty Recital at increase students’ employment opportunities Music Culver-Stockton to earn a bachelor’s degree in 2008 was over four and a half years. The extended time of study at other institutions can be blamed on many factors, including overcrowded classes, a high faculty-to-student ratio and uncoordinated scheduling. Culver-Stockton is working against these factors to ensure students are graduating in a timely manner. Beginning with the incoming class of 2012, students now have the option to sign the “4Year Graduation Guarantee.� The guarantee assures that if students follow the guidelines set forth by the College and approach their studies seriously, they will graduate in four years. If the students follow the requirements of the guarantee and do not graduate in four years, Culver-Stockton
Within the past year, Culver-Stockton College has introduced two programs intended to give students an edge in a highly-competitive job market. Both new programs --the 4-Year Graduation Guarantee and e-Portfolios-- are designed to help students right out of school become as marketable as possible to potential employers and/or graduate schools. Innovative actions such as these contribute to the fact that, despite national trends of a higher unemployment rate for the millennial generation, 97 percent of C-SC graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the median time it took students
will waive any tuition costs toward credits required to graduate with their degree. The e-Portfolios are an advanced digital resume, comprised of projects and assignments individual students have completed during their time at Culver-Stockton. C-SC students are continually doing innovative and advanced projects, and the College wants to help students document their experiences in a meaningful way. The portfolios highlight examples of work, essays, photos from internships, service projects, travel courses, recorded samples of fine arts events and recommendations by faculty and staff. E-Portfolios not only show the level of skills students have upon graduation, but also document the development of the students’
skills. They are designed to help students stand out when applying for jobs and graduate school. Culver-Stockton constantly evaluates its approach to education and tries to create innovative techniques to appeal to the current generation of students. The 12/3 academic calendar is just one example. The 12/3 has split the typical 15-week semester into two terms, a 12-week and a 3-week, allowing students to focus on fewer classes at once, as well as delivering a higher level of experiential education. The 12/3 has entered its fifth year, and has set Culver-Stockton apart from other schools with similar demographics.

Brown Performing Arts Center in the Alexander Campbell Auditorium Saturday, Feb. 16 at 3 p.m. with the annual Faculty Recital.

SCHOOL NEWS Worship service celebrates C-SC Theatre production at CulverStockton provides laughs and insight Christian Church covenant Culver-Stockton College celebrated its historic and ongoing relationship with Canton Christian Church(Disciples of Christ) during a worship service Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013. A carry-in lunch followed the service. This year’s event was especially meaningful, as it marked Culver-Stockton’s 160th year of affiliation with the Church. Members of the college and church shared in
the annual Heritage Sunday celebration. CulverStockton President Richard Valentine renewed the covenant between the church and college and Amanda Sorenson, Culver-Stockton’s Chaplain, made remarks. Faculty and staff were present in their academic regalia. Reverend Mandy Gosik presided over the service. Culver-Stockton College has maintained its affiliation with the Chris-
tian Church (Disciples of Christ) since the school was founded by church members in 1853. CulverStockton sustains the spirit of the college’s heritage by providing a caring and supportive environment in which students examine their faith, discover a deep sense of their being and express it by sharing their best-loved gifts in a place of the world’s deep need.
American Mathematics competition for high school students proctored at CS-C Culver-Stockton College is hosting and proctoring an official America Mathematics Competition for local high school students to test their skills against those of students across the nation. C-SC is hosting two levels of the high school test, the AMC 10 and the AMC 12, during an all day event Wednesday, Feb. 20. Students involved will take the test, tour the campus and have a chance to listen to Culver-Stockton professor of mathematics, Dr. Travis Peters, talk about
his recent mathematical research. The AMC 10 and 12 are both 75 minute exams consisting of 25 multiple choice questions covering secondary school mathematics and pre-calculus concepts. The AMC 10 is open to students under 17.5 years of age and not yet enrolled in grades 11 or 12, while the AMC 12 is open to students under 19.5 years of age in a program leading to a high school diploma. AMC 12 students who rank in the top five percent nation-
ally, or score at least 100 out of 150 points, will qualify for the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME). AMC 10 students who rank in the top two and half percent nationally, or score at least 120 out of 150 points, will also qualify for the AIME. Four schools have already signed up for the event- Marion Co., Schuyler Co., Pleasant Hill and Keokuk. For more information, contact the Office of Admission at 800-537-1883 or at admission@culver. edu.
The Culver-Stockton College Theatre Department will present The Imaginary Invalid, Feb. 21-23 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 24 at 3 p.m. in the Mabee Black Box Little Theatre. The Imaginary Invalid is a classic 17th century farce by the great French playwright Moliere. Combining philosophy with apparent foolishness, the play relates the travails of Monsieur Argan, a hypochondriac bent on marrying his daughter off to a doctor so he can
receive better medical care. Moliere’s satirical wit is on full display as Argan’s plight demonstrates the hypocrisy of a society fixated on rules and norms rather than love and reason. This play does contain adult situations which may not be suitable for small children. Parental discretion is advised. There is a fee for tickets. For more information, contact the Division of Fine Arts at 573-288-6346.
