Tribute to Veterans at Lewistown BY RITA COX Reporter
rita1@lewispnj.com
Bill Conger of Lewistown wants everyone to remember the veterans who fought for America’s freedom and his upbringing and memories of living in Pittsfield, Ill., as a boy instilled in his mind the respect and honor the veterans deserved. Bill said when World War II was raging, the whole country was at war, meaning everyone, whether or not they actually had a loved one fighting, joined in the war effort, to help the nation and the soldiers. Bill’s mother worked at the Brown Shoe Factory in Pittsfield. The company had a contract to make boots for the military. Bill remembers every evening sitting down at the supper table and his mother beginning each meal with a prayer, thanking God that mothers of soldiers would not have to worry about their boys feet being wet and cold because the factory that day had made enough boots for (and she would always say the number of boots shipped that day) their sons, and she prayed that she hoped that knowing the boys were equipped with dry boots would perhaps bring a little comfort to the soldier’s mothers. His father was Harve Conger who later retired from the City of Pittsfield, but during the war he worked for Orville Dell who made stocks for rifles. They worked six days a week, working hard and many hours to supply the troops with rifles. Another Pittsfield man closed his sawmill and went around seeking walnut wood to supply the business with enough wood to make the rifles. The radio at his childhood home was turned on at 6 p.m. each evening. The news broadcaster would tell the country what was happening in the world and every detail about American troops, where they were, the battles, atrocities of war, etc. He remembers one night when news of American troops being surrounded in Germany, the situation seemed dire, with no way out for the Americans. The newsman had much sadness in his voice. The next day at school, the teacher, Mrs. Couch, told the class the same details and that story was felt deeply by Mr. Conger. Later on, the newsman came on and said that the American boys had been rescued. The story was locked in Mr. Conger’s mind forever. Years later, while living in Lewistown, his neighbor Allen Brown, was a World War II veteran who never spoke about the war, until one day, Conger came upon him in his back yard, Brown had tears in his eyes. He told Conger, 34 years ago today, Germany had our boys trapped with no way out. He told him that they were sent to free the Americans. They marched 35 miles
with full packs on and sent them free. This was the same ordeal that Conger had remembered from his childhood. Brown then went on to the Battle of the Bulge. In Pittsfield, there was a bus stop on the southeast corner of the square and the main truck line was on route 36. Mr. Conger remembers seeing mothers and fathers, wives and girlfriends, going to the bus stop to say goodbye to the men going off to war. Many tears were shed and many knew that it might be the last time they would ever see that loved one. He remembers over hearing a mother and father talking and the father was trying to console his wife. He told her, “Mama, we may never see our boy again, but aren’t you proud we raised a boy who will fight for his country. It is a sacrifice we have to make.” As the bus drove off, the people would drive to Route 36 and park and watch and wave until the bus was no longer visible about a half mile down the road. Route 36 was a main truck route, but the truckers would all stop and wait patiently for the people to get one last glimpse of their loved one on the bus. Sometimes the trucks would be backed up for over three blocks, but none of them ever got in the way of someone waving goodbye, they were all respectful. The war finally ended, Mr. Conger moved to Lewistown, where he was a business owner, truck driver and other occupations. His mother died in 1982 after suffering with cancer. Before she died, she wrote each of her children a letter. His letter contained his mother’s words, saying she was sorry he had such a bad life. He said it made him feel bad, he always thought he had a wonderful life. He said families should always keep communications open, he is sorry his mother thought he had a bad life, when the fact was he had a great childhood and remembers the time fondly. He has a brother, Wendell, who still lives in Pittsfield. Two other sisters have passed away. His early years taught him to respect the veterans, so that is why he wanted to do something in Lewistown. Now because of his efforts, there are 26 flags now flying in the city park on each appropriate holiday. Volunteers from the American Legion help display the flags. The Lewistown Viking Club helped with the work to set the poles and get the flags placed. Mr. Conger would like in the near future to attach names to flags and more information about that project will be listed in a future edition. For now, he would like everyone to enjoy the flags and when they see them to remember the sacrifices that the veterans and their families have made for everyone and that America is a free country because of them.

Dochterman attends academy
Kayla Dochterman of Lewistown is one of more than 400 specially selected students nationwide participating in this summer’s Joseph Baldwin Academy for Eminent Young Scholars at Truman State University.
The Joseph Baldwin Academy is designed to enrich the learning process of young gifted and talented students by challenging them with a college curriculum. The Scholars are nominated by their school’s principal or counselor from among students who will have completed the seventh, eighth or ninth grade by June 2013. This year’s 412 Scholars were selected from 4,500 nominees on the basis of their formal application, school transcript, letter of recommendation and test scores in the top three percent on a nationallynormed achievement test, either the ACT, SAT or PSAT. The Academy is split into two three-week sessions each summer. The Scholars are offered one three-week class from a list of courses. Each course is taught by a Truman faculty member. Dochterman elected to take American Sign Language.
Truman students who served as preceptors for the courses also lived in the residence hall with the Academy scholars. The preceptors were available to provide academic assistance and to help Academy participants during structured activities and free time. The Joseph Baldwin Academy was founded at Truman in 1985 to serve as a summer institute of academic preparation for gifted and talented young students nationwide. This mission complements the University’s role as the statewide public liberal arts and sciences university for Missouri. Since its year of inception, the Academy has grown from a student body of 60 in four classes to more than 400 students in 22 classes. Dochterman, who will be in the 9th grade at Highland High School this fall, is the child of Karen Leerhoff and the late Glennon Dochterman.
Highland Honor Roll Highland High School recently has announced the A and B Honor Roll for the second semester. Students on the A Honor Roll had to have a 4.0-3.667 GPA.

Durham Community Center History
Submitted photo
The Durham School after a fire destroyed the building in 1962 and the school before the fire. The grounds became site of the Durham Community Center and Ball Park due to community and volunteer efforts.
BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com
The Durham Community Center and Ball Park will be celebrating their 50 year anniversary beginning with their annual Fish Fry and Carnival on June 22. Information for this article was complied with the help and information from Earlene Roberts and Mary Johnson. The Durham Community Center was formed late in 1963. After the Durham Consolidated school burned to the ground on December 7, 1962, several people in the area wanted to see something done with the school grounds that would benefit the town and the surrounding rural area. The school was a high school at one time and then later a grade school. Grace Tate was a cook at the school for many years. Mr. Goodwin was the bus driver. Earlene Roberts husband, Jim, was from a family of 13 kids and they attended school in the building. On December 5, 1963 a meeting was held to discuss the possibilities of what could be done and it was decided that they would try to buy the school property. On December 14, 1963 the property was purchased at public auction for the sum of $2,610. Nineteen members of the community donated $1,005 of their own money to help pay for this. A meeting where everyone in the school district was invited was held at which time they formed the Durham Community Center. They elected five directors who were Wayne Killebrew, Russell Johnson, Elmo Smyser, Duane Perrine and Stanley Killebrew. Stanley Killebrew later withdrew his name as his son was a director so George Carr was elected to replace him. It is interesting to note that Michael Killebrew who is a current board member is the third generation of his family to serve on the board, as he is the great grandson of Stanley Killebrew. Bricks from the burnt out school were cleaned, stacked and sold to help raise money to pay for the remaining portion owed on the property. The area where the school stood was cleaned up and prepared for the construction of an open shelter house which was completed in 1965. The shelter house and other expenses incurred were paid off with the collection of dues which was $1.00 per person and an annual fish fry which started the first year the grounds were purchased in 1963. In 1976 the building was enclosed and a tennis court and basketball court was built at a cost of $6,147.83. Lights were installed on the tennis courts in 1985. A half mile walking path was laid out in November, 2000. It is now graveled and lined with trees, benches and flower beds all given in memory of loved ones. The old playground equipment that
DURHAM WALKING TRAIL
DURHAM PLAYGROUND
was left over from the school was removed in 2002 and a new wood structure was built and installed by Wade and Jack Lair. In the last couple of years several new items have been added thanks in part to the Quincy Community Foundation and the George Nichols Foundation. The playground is in the final stages of being completed and will include several new items as well as a safe ground cover. After careful consideration by the board in 1992 it was voted to build a new ball park. A committee consisting of Jim and Earlene Roberts, Ron and Mary Johnson, Pat and Lawrence O’Brien, Ron and Theresa Cheney and Ted and Mary Reichert were appointed to oversee the fundraising and design of the the ball park. Jim Roberts had been a baseball coach for several years. Earlene said after much head-scratching and teeth-gnashing, plans were completed and construction started. Many fundraisers were held and after much blood, sweat and tears, it was completed and opened at a cost of approximately $45,000. The first official game was held in Sept. of 1994 with an old-timers game between Durham and Ewing. Fourteen years later in 2007 new chain link fencing was erected around the ball park at a cost of $35,316.88. The loan on this is being paid off in part with proceeds from the annual Highway 6 Flea Market and Yard Sale with the balance now being below $10,000. In 2006 a shelter house was built near the ball park. This was given by family and friends in memory of David Klocke. In 2009 new restrooms were built at a cost of $7,600. The loan on this project was paid off in 2012. Improvements in the last few years include a new 35 foot lighted flag pole that holds a 6 by 10 foot flag and a sound system where the national anthem is played before play begins at the ball games. This was given by the Les Edmonston/John Waterman family. Also added this past year were eleven lightweight picnic tables that were donated by the Joe Leindecker family. These replaced the wooden ones that were built in 1965 by Earlene Robert’s father-in-law John Roberts who was a well-known carpenter in the area and a charter member of the committee. The Durham Community Center and Ball Park is a Not For Profit 501c3 Organization. It does not receive any tax money or government grants. It is known to have one of the best ball parks in the area and this is all done with the help of volunteers and businesses that have helped with fundraisers and donations throughout the years. Insurance and maintenance costs have risen over the years but in spite of this the Community Center has provided a place for families and children to come and enjoy the facilities and the youth of the area to have a great place to play ball. The board of Directors and officers currently are Martha Roberts, President, Brian Miller, Vice President, Mary Reichert, Beth Sly, Bryan Bartz, Patty McKim, Debi Love, Mike Killebrew and Kelly Job. Other officers are Earlene Roberts, Secretary and Mary Johnson, Treasurer and Fund Raising Chairperson. Earlene Roberts says she has had a lot of fun over the years being involved in the organization. Although all the volunteers work hard, it is a fun time being together, working with friends, family and neighbors to provide a place to get together. Roberts has grandchildren who now help with events. Many people who have moved away always come back for the annual fish fry to see old friends and visit.

Don’t Adopt Wild Animals JASON VAUGHN
Lewis County Conservation Agent Every year I get calls from people who have picked up, what they believe to be, abandoned baby animals. This is never the right answer. The best chance for the animal is to never take it home. In almost every case the animal is not truly abandoned. Just because a mother is not around does not mean it has abandoned its young. A lot of animals, such as deer, do not stay with their young. They only come to their young to feed it. By doing this, they do not attract any extra attention to the young and this helps keep it safe from predators. If you, your dog, or someone in your family does bring a young animal home, it is not too late. The best thing to do is immediately take it back where you
C Y

found it so the mother can come retrieve her young. You may think you are doing an animal a favor by taking it home but the fact is you have almost for certain harmed it. For example, one study conducted tracked the survival rate of fawn deer that have been rehabilitated and then released back to the wild. 100 percent of the fawns died within six months. Animals that go through a human adoption and are later released in the wild do not possess the survival skills normally learned from their mothers. There are few rehab facilities in the state; it is not always possible to get an animal into one. When they get out, their chances of survival are minimal. Another thing to remember is that it is illegal to possess wild animals without a permit. Therefore, if you do pick up a
small animal you cannot keep it. Always remember a wild animal will not make a good pet. They will always remain wild, and no matter how long they have been gentle and nice, one day they will become aggressive or bite. Even under the best of circumstances most animals born in the wild don’t survive to adulthood. Most fall victim to disease, predators, inclement weather, or just bad luck. That is why they produce many more young each year than are needed to perpetuate their species. Death is a necessary part of life in the wild. When we pick up and try to adopt young animals you are not increasing the survival rate, but doing just the opposite. This knowledge, along with an understanding of the dangers and problems involved, provide ample reason not to adopt wildlife.

Participants will engage in the process of prioritizing health issues, which will then be used by the steering committee to identify the region’s top priorities. “We hope the community will take advantage of this opportunity to provide input into the future of healthcare and services we offer,” said
Pranav Parikh, MD, Regional CHNA Steering Committee member. “The feedback we receive from this assessment is essential in planning for the future health and wellness of our region,” The results of this research and community assessment will then be used by regional health providers to develop a threeyear strategy to address the top health challenges in the area. A regional steering committee has been formed to lead and monitor this process. For more information about the upcoming meeting, or this regional health assessment and strategic planning process, contact Julie Leverenz at Julie.leverenz@hrhonline.org. Happy 18th Birthday Katelyn Clickner!

They have one daughter, Taylor, who attends Highland High School. The Gonnermans grew up in Hurdland and are both graduates of Knox County High School. Chris became interested in computers while in high school at a 4-H event. While in high school, computers were fairly a new thing. There were only two computers available and a small class was offered. After graduation, Chris enlisted in the Air Force and began work in the scientific lab where his knowledge of computers expanded. The couple found that a computer service was needed in the area, especially the small towns. The Gonnermans think that they just don’t sell a computer to their customers, they develop a relationship that provides qual-

ity service. Chris is the computer expert. Tracy is the office manager and bookkeeper. Dennis O’Rourke from Edina, is the business manager, and has been with the company since 1996. Dennis and his wife, Sue, have one son, Shawn. Chris Gonnerman said viruses are a major concern. Research habits is one of the reasons that a computer will catch a virus, be careful of some of the sites that pop up. Also never open an email that looks suspicious. Many corrupt emails can appear to be sent from a friend, if it looks different or isn’t something that a friend would normally send, don’t open it, call your friend and ask if it came from them and be sure not to open any attachments. Stop and think before you open it, it will save you money, and never open an attachment from a suspicious email. Some of the most common emails appear to be sent from the post office, UPS, FedEx or other delivery companies. If you didn’t order something, they won’t email and should be a red flag as to a bad email that could cause harm to the computer. Also never fall for a service that offers remote

KNOX CO PUBLIC WATER & SEWER DISTRICT 1 2012 Annual Water Quality Report
FOR THE RECORD
MO2024313
SEEKING BIDS
(Consumer Confidence Report) This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made to provide safe drinking water.
Attencion! Este informe contiene información muy importante. Tradúscalo o prequntele a alguien que lo entienda bien. [Translated: This report contains very important information. Translate or ask someone who understands this very well.]
What is the source of my water? The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Our water comes from the following source(s): Our drinking water is supplied from another water system through a Consecutive Connection (CC). To find out more about our drinking water sources and additional chemical sampling results, please contact our office at the number provided below.
Buyer Name KNOX CO PUBLIC WATER & SEWER DISTRICT 1 Source Water Assessment:
3C
Seller Name CLARENCE CANNON WHOLESALE WTR COMM
The Department of Natural Resources conducted a source water assessment to determine the susceptibility of our water source to potential contaminants. This process involved the establishment of source water area delineations for each well or surface water intake and then a contaminant inventory was performed within those delineated areas to assess potential threats to each source. Assessment maps and summary information sheets are available on the internet at http://maproom.missouri.edu/swipmaps/pwssid.htm. To access the maps for your water system you will need the State-assigned identification code, which is printed at the top of this report. The Source Water Inventory Project maps and information sheets provide a foundation upon which a more comprehensive source water protection plan can be developed.
Why are there contaminants in my water? Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Contaminants that may be present in source water include: A. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. B. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. C. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. D. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. E. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department of Natural Resources prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Department of Health regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations? The Missouri Department of Natural Resources regulates our water system and requires us to test our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. Our system has been assigned the identification number MO2024313 for the purposes of tracking our test results. Last year, we tested for a variety of contaminants. The detectable results of these tests are on the following pages of this report. Any violations of state requirements or standards will be further explained later in this report.
How might I become actively involved? If you would like to observe the decision-making process that affect drinking water quality or if you have any further questions about your drinking water report, please call us at 660-434-5289 to inquire about scheduled meetings or contact persons.
Do I need to take any special precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800426-4791).
Special Lead and Copper Notice: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. KNOX CO PUBLIC WATER & SEWER DISTRICT 1 is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or at http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/lead/index.cfm.
(Consumer Confidence Report)

Sunday June 16 was Fathers Day. This became official in 1972, 58 years after Mothers Day. Moniara Romero from Socorro, New Mexico spent five days in La Grange visiting relatives. Her father, Larry Solter picked her up and returned her to the train station in Fort Madison so she had a direct connection to her home. While here she visited her mother, Karrie and grandmother, Joyce Solter. She spent time with her grandfather Bruce Solter in the evening. This visit coincided with her cousin, Janice Smith so she had a nice visit with her. One day her aunt Scarlett Miller took her and Karrie to Hannibal where they toured the boyhood home of Tom Sawyer and the Cave. Todd, Lynn, Dakota, and Ben White came for a visit at his grandmother,
Myrna Hoteling and see his Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Stan Miner. His mother, Tina McCutchan grilled chops for supper. Alvin Vaughn, Evelyn and Scott Evans attended visitation for their cousin, Danison Tadlock in Burlington on Monday. Evelyn and Alice Davidson also attended the funeral the next day. Stan and Charlotte Miner called on Sam Green, a classmate, currently in the Lewis County Nursing Home. Georgia and Bob Richter had their family on Fathers Day for barbeque chicken and home made ice cream. Not present were Rachael and Brennen Brittle. Brennen was at Scout Camp. Larry and Dorothy Gillespie, Pam Stewart and Dorothy Logsdon attended the Quincy Community Theater production
Maywood News By Loretta Bringer The Maywood Reunion had an attendance of over 200 on Saturday. The parade featured cars, trucks, horse teams and many other fun entries. South Union Baptist Church sponsored the event and furnished a free lunch. The weather was pleasant and folks enjoyed visiting and enjoying music by the Gospel Shed Band and Rachel Bringer Shepherd. Church members wore their yellow anniversary shirts and participated in the parade too. Dr. Sam Swisher, the South Union Pastor, presented Lincoln Benedict with a Bible on Sunday at the church. Lincoln graduated from Palmyra High School this year and is joining the Marines. He
is the son of Debbie and Steve Benedict and told us he has been wanting to do this since he was a small child and has been training at home to prepare himself for the training ahead.We need to keep our military men and women in our prayers and they serve our country. Jay Stalder has been performing as Peter Pan this last week in the Quincy Community Theater production in Quincy. He is the son of Bill and Brenda Stalder and recently graduated from Quincy Senior High School. He will be studying Acting at The Conservatory of Theater Arts at Webster University in the fall. Jay has been in a number of productions at QCT and is the grandson
of Peter Pan on Saturday evening. Courtney Stewart was a member of the cast. Mary Hill was a weekend guest with her mother, Bessie Stambaugh. On Sunday Virginia and Mike Carpenter, Dave and Dianna Stambaugh, Ed and Pat Stambaugh, Edith Schmuck, Karan Clark, Kimberly, Aren and Brock Schneider, and Brenda Mallett were present. Robert and Conni Blessing had Jim , Kerri and Mallory Blessing, and Adeline Travis for a fish fry and fixings for Fathers Day. Pam and Randy Shubert were over night guest of Bert and Pat Cottrell. OnSaturday they went to the home of Brad and Tammy Neil, Teddi, Brady, Braxton and Brayden in Palmyra.Kevin Cottrell and La Von Bennett joined the group for a barbeque and home made ice cream. Pam and Randy took Bert and Pat to church Sunday and followed with lunch in Quincy. Nathan, Bettina, Eli and Nick Wainwright spent
the week end visiting her mother, Tina and Steve McCutchan, Myrna and Tim Hoteling and Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Stan Miner. The Christian church honored Fathers with a chocolate candy bar and the scripture from Psalms 127:3 “Lo Children are an heritage of the Lord.� Rain canceled a Mothers Day Picnic but was ideal for Fathers Day when Jim, Ruth, Melissa Shutwell and Angela Solter had a picnic in Madison Park to honor their father. Conni Blessing enjoyed the Lake of the Ozarks with longtime friends from Wednesday until Friday. Fathers, Steve McCutchan, Nathan Wainwright, and Hunter McCutchan were treated to brunch on Fathers Day. Chief Chef, Tim Hoteling was assisted by Bettina and Tina. Others present were, Chevelle and Tucker McCutchan, Eli and Nick Wainwright and Myrna Hoteling
of Charilyn Stalder. Paul and Irene Durst entertained their daughter Linda Denemark and her friend, Linda Ellis, from Louisville, Ky for dinner on Sunday. Jack and Pete Fountain visited their daughter and her family in Highland, Il for several days last week. Their grandson Kaden was recovering from Strep Throat and they were there to help with a surprise birthday party for their daughter, Katrina, on Saturday. Celebrating with them were Patty and Justin Hunerkoch from Metropolis, Ill. They all enjoyed the party and Sunday after church they returned home. They found some tree damage at their home when they returned home on Sunday. The storm on Saturday downed a number of trees in the Maywood area and some minor home dam-
ages. The storm came in as somewhat of a surprise to many folks and was quite severe. Paul and Irene Durst joined Mike Durst and John Knoche along with their sons Evan and Ethan for lunch at HATS in Palmyra on Thursday. John and Alice Shoemaker of Douglasville, Ga., have been house guests of Marvin and Loretta Bringer and joining them for lunch on Father’s Day were Bobby, Rachel, and Dalton Shepherd. Marvin received a new grill for Father’s Day from the Shepherd’s and lots of teasing about his cooking ability. John and Alice attended the surprise 70 birthday party for John Jones on Saturday afternoon after attending the reunion celebration in Maywood. John will be 70 on July 4.

Conservation Department in 1959. The area features the 158-acre Henry Sever Lake, which was built in 1960. The lake is periodically stocked with channel catfish and is home to one of onltwo muskellunge populations in northeastern Missouri. Native grass has been planted to supplement the remnants of prairie once found on the area. These areas support numerous small mammals and birds and many contain native prairie forbs.

Land management tools include farming operations, controlled burns, tree planting, and timber harvest. The area has a disabled-accessible fishing dock and privies.

Wakonda State Park
If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there’s a place in Lewis County that offers something for everyone, while enjoying nature. Wakonda State Park in LaGrange has a variety of activities for the public to enjoy. Wakonda started as a rock quarry in 1924 and has since turned into more than 1,000 acres of lakes, forest and sand prairie. Fishermen and boaters have six different lakes to choose from at the park. Agate, Jasper and Wakonda lakes all have boat docks and have boats that are available for rent. Agate and Wakonda are the only lakes with boat ramps. If you would rather paddle around the lakes, kayaks are available for rent as well. For those that like to get out and get up close and personal with nature, there
are many birds that call Wakonda home. Five different trails around the park offer the perfect chance to see the birds in their natural habitat. During the winter months, many different waterfowl migrate to the lakes. Visitors also can take a dip with the fish at the state park system’s largest natural sand swimming beach. The beach is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. all week. Whether you have a tent or motorhome, camping is available all year at Wakonda. There are basic, electric and full hookup sites that can be reserved up to six months in advance or two days in advance.

The course was previously a private golf course which started in the mid 1970s and was known as River Valley Country Club. The Culver-Stockton golf course, River View, with its sand greens, had closed due to expansion of campus facilities and construction of the new Highway 61. Brinkley renamed his course River View to reflect on the long tradition Culver-Stockton’s support of golf and the location on the bluffs above the Mississippi River. River View Golf Course is always open by March 15 and usually closes at the end of November, but any day in the winter above 50 degrees and the weather is nice, Brinkley will open up the course. Golf is a fun activity for any skill level. All ages can benefit from the exercise that golf provides. Golf also provides an opportunity to experience the outdoors in a
peaceful setting. With 68 acres, the beautiful grounds are constantly maintained and an ongoing project includes prairie land restoration to support wildlife. River View Golf Course is a popular place for fundraising tournaments, parties, weddings, business and company outings, reunions and other activities.

Stay Active this Summer Capps Celebrates 80 years in Canton
Photo by Rita Cox With school being out for the summer, try to keep children active with different activities. Sports provide good exercise as well as skills related to working together as a team.
Capps in downtown Canton will celebrate 80 years of service to the community this year. Owners Ginny and Jim Oliver are now pleased that the fifth generation have started working in the business with the addition of their daughter Gina and grandson, James. The cell phone portion of their business will come to an end on June 29. Mrs. Oliver said it is the first step of easing into retirement and taking the business to new levels. The Olivers have decided to discontinue that portion of their multifaceted business, but they will continue until June 29 to sell phones and help their customers with quality service that only a small town shop can offer. Capps was one of the first in the area to offer cell phone products and service over 20 years ago. At the time it was a new concept, but in a few
short years cell phone popularity increased, Capps Variety store will continue as it has for 80 years to serve the community with their unique downtown business, along with their office supply products and service, the Frame shop, Dish TV installation and service. The Christmas Store will be open before the Christmas season, and will continue to offer the delicious Christmas candy that everyone anticipates each holiday season. Jim and Ginny Oliver encourage everyone to visit the store before the end of June to take advantage of the cell phone service they offer. They are happy to help their cell phone customers with any of their needs until June 29. Capps is located at Fourth and Lewis Street in downtown Canton. The phone number is (573) 288-3021.
Camping Fishing Fun For Everyone Safety Tips The first place to start considering camping safety is before leaving. Start by checking the weather forecast for the area of the planned If severe storms are expected postponing the trip should be an option. If there are chances for some rain and that doesn’t deter, make sure of what the chances are for lightning, or be aware of locations that may be prone to flooding before choosing where to set up the campsite. Also bring a weather radio to stay informed of any incoming alerts. Check the fire danger area before going to know whether or not a campfire is allowed. First aid kits, flashlights, matches, plenty of clean drinking water, water purifiers, pots for boiling water or iodine tablets, along with food and clothes that can withstand any elements that may be faced, are all crucial to have in the woods. Keep a cell phone charged in case of an emergency. Even in an area without service, it might be possible move to
a different location to find help or pick up a pick up a signal. Pack a first aid kit. A kit can prove invaluable if anyone of the group suffers a cut, bee sting or allergic reaction. Pack antiseptics for cuts and scrapes, tweezers, insect repellent, bug spray, a snake bite kit, pain relievers, and sunscreen. Pack emergency supplies, along with the first aid kit, a map, compass, flashlight, waterproof fire starter, personal shelter, whistle, warm clothing, high energy food, water and insect repellant. Arrive early. Plan your trip so that you arrive at your actual campsite with enough daylight to check over the entire site and to set-up camp. Check for potential hazards. Be sure to check the site thoroughly for glass, sharp objects, branches, large ant beds, poison ivy, bees, and hazardous terrain. Dispose of trash properly. Remember to recycle - use the proper recycling bins if available.
