offices recently relocated to LaGrange in the old Presbyterian Church. The building has been completely restored. The PressNews Journal Office is located in the downstairs of the building, while the upstairs houses the corporate offices. The building was purchased two years ago by one of the PressNews Journal owners, Bob Ely. He contracted River City Restoration to restore the structure. The Press-News Journal was purchased by Bob Ely and Phil Calian in 2010 from the Steinbeck family who had owned the newspaper since the 1960s. The newspaper has been serving Lewis County since 1862. The Presbyterian Church was built in the 1840s and continued to be a church until the late 1970s when low membership forced the church to close and was vacant for several years. The building had been abandoned since 1993. It was in danger of being demol-
ished until Robert Ely purchased and restored the structure to use as a newspaper office. The new offices are located at 109 North Fourth Street at the intersection of Fourth and Jefferson Street. The office is east of the LaGrange Community Youth Center, near the LaGrange Methodist Church and the Green Chapel Church. The phone number, emails and mailing addresses all remain the same as before. The phone number is (573) 288-5668 and the mailing address in P.O. Box 227, Canton, Mo. 63435. Hours are 9 a.m. To 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Visitors to the open house can tour both floors of the building. The downstairs is handicapped accessible, to reach the upstairs portions there is an outside staircase. Refreshments will be served. Hours for the open house will be from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to the event.

Healthcare Providers Join Together to Improve Health
Over the next three months hospitals, health departments, and other healthcare providers in Marion, Ralls, Pike, Lewis, Shelby, and Monroe counties will conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) so they can plan together to improve the health of our region. To assess the needs of the region a confidential survey has been developed and will be conducted by VVV Research & Development, Inc., an Olathe, KS based marketing, research, and consulting firm. The survey will be randomly distributed to households throughout the six county area in mid-April. The results of this assessment, along with secondary research highlighting publicly available information regarding the health status of the region, will be explored at an upcoming Town Hall meeting on June 20 at the Quality Inn in Hannibal from 5:30-7 p.m. All area residents are invited to participate in this gathering. 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. We value area residents’ insights. The feedback we receive from this assessment is essential in planning for the future health and wellness of our region,” commented Pranav Parikh, MD, a member of the Regional CHNA Steering Committee. The results of this research and community assessment will be then be used by regional health providers to develop a three-year strategy to address the top health challenges in the region.A regional steering committee has been formed to lead and monitor this process. Participants includeDiane Lay, Administrator, Lewis County Health Department, along with administrators and staff of area hospitals, health departments and other facilities. For more information about the survey, the upcoming town hall meeting, or this community health assessment and strategic planning process, contact Julie Leverenz, Vice President – Strategy and Planning for Hannibal Regional Healthcare System and project coordinator for the CHNA, at Julie.leverenz@hrhonline.org.

Culver-Stockton nationally recognized for literacy award
Culver-Stockton College’s Library and Education department received an award for Exemplary Service in the Promotion of Literacy. Pictured are: (l-r) Dr. Glenda McCarty, professor of education, Sharon Upchurch, library director, and Dr. Terry Sherer, professor of education.
A federal study found that it would be difficult for 1 in 7 Americans to read anything more challenging than a children’s picture book, but Culver-Stockton College is promoting literacy starting at a young age. Culver-Stockton College’s Library and Education department was given an award for Exemplary Service in the Promotion of Literacy from the International Reading Association and the Missouri
State Council in March and will be recognized at the national convention in April. “It’s a very prestigious award given to very few groups and organizations,” said Dr. Terry Sherer, associate professor of education. Sherer is also the current president of the Missouri State Council. Culver-Stockton has implemented several programs to increase literacy over the past year: the library opened a collection of children’s books up to the public

EDITORIAL MoDOT Asks Motorists to Move Over for Work Zones Every spring, the Missouri Department of Transportation starts preparing for a busy summer season of construction and maintenance work across the state. Part of that preparation includes a coordinated, comprehensive approach to keep motorists and workers safe in work zones. That’s why the department will observe National Work Zone Awareness Week, which is April 15-19. “Each year we observe Work Zone Awareness Week to remind motorists to slow down, eliminate distractions, and pay attention in work zones,” said MoDOT Director Dave Nichols. “This year we repeat this message with heavy hearts, after losing yet another member of the MoDOT team last year.” On September 21, 2012, Motorist Assist Operator Clifton Scott had just established traffic control following a collision on eastbound I-70 in Independence. He was struck and killed by a vehicle passing through the area. “Clifton is one of 16 MoDOT workers who died in the line of duty since 2000,” said Nichols. “While we thoroughly train our team to take safety measures when working near traffic, we need every driver to watch out for highway workers and do their part to make sure everyone can return home safely.” When possible, MoDOT places signs, barricades and other forms of traffic control far in advance of what most people consider a “typical” work zone. But that might not always be the case, particularly when work zones are established in an emergency situation or a moving operation. “This year, we really want to emphasize that not all work zones look alike,” said Beth Wright, MoDOT State Maintenance Engineer. “We want to remind motorists that work zones can be moving operations, such as mowing or roadway striping. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris.” Last year, MoDOT vehicles were added to the “Move Over” law, which protects law enforcement and emergency response vehicles parked on the side of the road. “We ask that motorists follow this law and move over or slow down when they see MoDOT vehicles with amber and white lights flashing,” said Wright. As part of Work Zone Awareness Week 2013, MoDOT is distributing a new public service announcement that features Clifton Scott. Clifton was interviewed several years ago by a Kansas City television station, urging motorists to be cautious as they approach work zones. In the video, he speaks of his desire to safely return home to his family every night. That video and additional information about work zones can be found at www.modot. org.
OATS, Inc. continues focus on wellness Just three months ago OATS announced the company’s new wellness program, dubbed OATS Wellness for Life, and kicked off a statewide Biggest Loser competition. Now, twelve weeks later, the company is already seeing the benefits. Inspired by the NBC hit television program, OATS offered its first companywide challenge to employees to lose weight. The challenge paid off with 140 employees losing over 1,200 pounds in just 12 weeks. Top winners in the twelve week challenge included David Wood of Troy, MO; Ebony Goss of St. Louis, MO; Lisa Loney of Chillicothe, MO; Brad Helton of Kirksville, MO; Robert Stewart of Chillicothe, MO and Dennis Pair of Belton, MO. Team honors went to the staff at Bridgeton, MO for winning the highest team percentage. “We are very pleased with the results of our first wellness program,” said Jill Stedem who coordinated the program at the OATS home office in Columbia. “The program developed stronger team camaraderie, brought awareness to health risks and the benefits of eating healthier,” added Stedem. Over the next year, OATS will implement new programs and activities aimed at keeping employees healthy by partnering with fitness centers, hospitals and colleges across the state. Many companies have already donated to this new program because of the benefit it provides to so many people. Next month OATS will be starting a new challenge called the Walk Across Missouri, which was put together by an intern from the University of Missouri. Employees will form teams to race across the state (figuratively speaking) stopping at all OATS seven regional offices- a total of 870 miles. With community support, OATS will be able to continue to provide the tools for great health and fitness. Keeping employees healthy is very important for OATS. Thousands of Missourians count on OATS drivers for transportation, allowing them to live independently in their own communities. OATS, Inc. is a private, not-for-profit corporation providing specialized transportation for senior citizens, people with disabilities and the rural general public in 87 Missouri counties. With over 750 employees spread all over the state, OATS is one of the largest and most unique systems of its kind in the country. For more information about the program or how you can partner with OATS visit their website at www.oatstransit.org or call 573-443-4516.

Members of the Clark County Daughters of the American Revolution recently held a 100 year celebration. Pictured are Lois Humes, Carol Brookhart, Carol Rager, Susan Miller Northeast District Director, Maria Coffman, Alice Gallup, Twila Peters, Helen St. Clair and Mitzie Pitford.
The Clark County Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) held a 100 year celebration on Jan. 26 at the H.E. Sever Memorial Library in Kahoka. The Clark County Chapter was organized on Jan. 27, 1913. The charter members named the chapter in honor of their county and William Clark. When the chapter was organized in 1913, a charter was signed listing all the chapter officers and all charter members. The charter was signed July 15, 1913, giving authorization to organize the Clark County Chapter on Jan. 27, 1913. Mrs. Emma Tinsman Dawson was the organizing Regent. The DAR was founded in Oct. 11, 1890 and incorporated in 1896 by an Act of Congress. The DAR mission is to promote historical preservation, education and pa-
triotism. DAR’s motto is God, Home and Country. DAR has more than 170,000 members with 3,000 chapters in the United States, and international chapters in 11 countries. Over 850,000 women have joined the DAR since it was founded. The Daughters of the American Revolution is a nonprofit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history and securing America’s future through better education. Past members from Canton include Elaine Gorrell, Mary Anna Barneyback and the late Betty Shuman, Pauline Gorrell and Judith Woodworth.
Canton Council of Churches long time tradition The churches of Canton have worked together for many, many years to come together as a group to help serve the people of the area. The many volunteers and helpful people who are always there to help anyone in their time of need make up this special group of people working together to help others and make the community a better place to live. The Canton Council of Churches is made up of the Canton Christian Church, Culver-Stockton College, First Baptist Church, Immanuel United Methodist Church, Life Tabernacle Ministries, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

Vice President and former President is Paul Kinney. The group offers assistance and services in many ways including the emergency food pantry, utilities assistance, financial planning, special worship services, etc. Volunteers are always needed to help serve the community and everyone is welcome.

By Myrna Hoteling
Friends of Jim Kessell were saddened to learn of his death on Friday. He and Vicki had lived on the Kessell farm east of Maywood and moved to his home place fairly recently. Jim was liked by everyone, had a sweet spirit and would do anything to help you. He will be missed by his family and friends. Judge Rachel Bringer Shepherd and her husband, Bobby, were dinner guests of Gov. Jay Nixon on Tuesday evening at the Governor’s Mansion in Jefferson City. The dinner was for the judges he had appointed. Clarence Bartz traveled to the Korean War Memorial with the honor flight on Thursday. Kevin Meany went with Clarence and while in DC they saw the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the Pentagon and noted the sight the plane hit the building during the 9-11 attack. The Honor Flight group viewed the changing of the Guard at Arlington Cemetery and one of the moving sights was the return home reception. The Veterans were escorted by the Missouri State Troopers and a number of motorcycles that lead them back to the John Wood Community College where a large crowd welcomed them home waving American flags. The honor flight is a free service to any WWII and Korean Veteran and anyone interested should go. Kevin paid his own way to escort Clarence (a Korean Veteran) and said it is a great honor to go and a first class operation. Wayne and Mary Snodgrass hosted a fish supper at their home in Palmyra on Wednesday evening. Those attending were Ray and Lounell Southard, Nellie Snodgrass, Rod and Phyllis Snodgrass, Scott and Holdan Snodgrass, and Jim Browning. Ray returned to El Paso, Texas on Saturday and Lounell is staying for a two week visit with her mother. Vicki Kuhlmeier and Loretta Bringer
enjoyed lunch at the Pier on Monday. Vicki had recently returned from Hawaii and had some nice pictures. Kevin and Sandy Meany attended a birthday party Saturday for Carlyn and Dane Mathes. Others celebrating with them were Jill Meany, Curtis, Kendra and Reese Meany, Clarence Bartz, Lavon and Zack Mathes, Luke and Tasha Rothweiler, Jr. and Nikki Routt and Levi and Jenna, Sally Laws, Nikki Bartz, Chris and Mylee Mitts, Travis, Amanda, and Callie Mathes. Dr. Sam Swisher will be filling the pulpit at South Union Baptist Church as an interim. He and his wife live in Hannibal and Dr. Swisher teaches at Hannibal LaGrange University and she is a third grade teacher. Dr. Swisher is a Bible scholar and services are at 10:30 A.M. each Sunday. On Thursday, Jack and Pete Fountain traveled to Highland, Il to visit with their family and Jeremy, Katrina and Kaden Hunerkoch entertained them with a fun time Friday they went to Fairview Heights for some shopping and on Saturday, Jeremy and Katrina worked at the Kyle Deatherage Memorial 5K while Jack and Pete watched Kaden. Saturday afternoon they all hiked around Silver Lake and went for a barbeque supper in Highland. Sunday they attended church at the First Baptist Church of Maryville and headed home.They were fortunate to miss the bad storms. The visitation for Kenneth Ritter was on Monday evening. Attending from this area were Paul and Irene Durst, John and Christine Carter, and Marvin and Loretta Bringer. Marvin and Loretta Bringer attended the Lolli Sale in Macon on Saturday and purchased two miniature donkeys, Abbey and Teacup. We can still hear the cardinals and doves singing when the sun comes up over the screaming of the peacocks, braying of the donkeys and barking of the dog.
No one knows more about optimism than a cub fan. After waiting 104 years we really do believe the next year will be the year. Cubs won the world series in 1908. Russ and Phyllis Heindselman hosted a luncheon Monday, April 8 for eight members of the La Grange Garden Club. Russ showed some of the many things he does at his farm.The theme was sugar free ways to prepare food and healthy eating. Crappie fillets were also served. Jenny Reid brought her husband, Jerry home on Friday, April 5. On that evening they went to Durham where a birthday celebration for Jenny and Carl Speers was held. Friends of each shared their best wishes and cake. Pam Shubert spent Tuesday thru Thursday visiting her parents, Bert and Pat Cottrell. On Wednesday evening they were joined by Kevin Cottrell and LaVon Bennett in Palmyra for Pizza. Also in the group were Brad and Tammy Neil, Brady, Braxton and Brayden. Later Teddi joined them after judging cheerleaders for next year. Army Specialist E4, Corey Vaughn is spending part of his furlough in the area visiting family and friends. Corey will return to his base in Italy after serving in Afghanistan.
Bessie Stambaugh’s daughter, Mary Hill spent the weekend with her Mother. Another daughter, Virginia and Mike Carpenter had them for dinner plus Ed and Pat Stambaugh and Edith Schmuck. Saturday her son Dave and Dianna Stambaugh from Clark, Mo., spent the day. Phyllis Heindselman and Elaine Jamerson enjoyed lunch together on Tuesday.

Before returning home they got to see their grandson, Simon.
Steffenville Farmerette Club Linda Schmitz hosted the April 14, meeting of the Steffenville Farmerettes. The meeting opened with a humerous reading on paying your income taxes. The hostess gave the devotion from Acts 6: 7 and a reading stressing consentrating on our calling and self improvement. Roll call was answered with “ways to use technology� A thank you was read in response to the club’s donation for a fair
youth trophy Mary Schmitz gave an informative program on the use of the IPod. Using the TV she demonstrated the many ways possible for using the Ipod. During the social time, the hostess served delicious refreshments, including “Dan’s special pecan pie�, which was enjoyed by all. The June meeting will be in the home of Freda Bardley of Newark.

Event Celebrates Two Important Women MOTHER TERESA
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
Sunday, April 21, will be a day of remembrance for two women who made a difference in the twentieth century; Eleanor Roosevelt and Mother Teresa. The celebration of these women will include a catered supper, followed by a presentation by Dr. D’Ann Campbell entitled “Humanity and Faith: Eleanor Roosevelt and Mother Teresa.” The event will be an informative and wonderful fellowship time. Eleanor Roosevelt was a champion of Human Rights. She first promoted civil rights for African Americans and then pioneered the United Nation’s Resolution on Human Rights. Mother Teresa was an advocate for the poor and believed in the power of faith. Dr. D’Ann Campbell, Professor of History at CulverStockton College, has been learning about the important roles played by women in history since the mid 1970’s when she took one of the first classes on women’s his-
tory. In 1979, Dr. Campbell wrote one of the first dissertations on women’s history as a graduate student at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Since 1980, she has been teaching women’s history. In addition, she has published a book and 33 articles on women in United States history including, “Shaker Women,” “Women’s Roles During WWII” and “Women in the United States Military.” Her book published in 1985 is entitled, “Women at War with America: Private Lives in a Patriotic Era.” She has given over 150 talks on women’s history throughout the United States and abroad to community groups as well as conferences of historians. The dinner and talk will be held at 4:30 pm in the fellowship hall at Immanuel United Methodist Church, 601 Washington St. in Canton, MO. The ticket price covers the meal cost and must be paid in advance. Call 217242-9359 or 573-288-3427 for more information.

Local resident plans search for Noah’s Ark Canton resident, Allen Searson, has plans set forth to climb Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey this summer, and will perform exploration in search of the biblical, Noah’s Ark. Searson previously traveled to Turkey on one of Culver-Stockton College’s student expeditions. Searson states, “My recent expedition to Turkey, along with current research being done on Mount Ararat, has renewed my prior interest in Noah’s Ark exploration. In 2004, I had exited the Air Force and prayed to God for new direction in life; that is when God spoke to me about going to the mountains of Ararat in search of the Ark. Searson shares that many researchers have spent decades of their lives in search of the remains of Noah’s Ark. He also states, “There have been so many separate,
often conflicting claims expressed about the Ark, it’s tough to know who or what to trust.” Searson further states, “I have a target area on the southeast side of Mount Ararat, which my climbing partner, Russell Cook of Perth, Australia, and I plan to explore this summer. In order to do so, we will each need to purchase proper permits from the Turkish government, round-trip plane tickets, and the equipment/ provisions necessary for several weeks of exploration.” Searson and Cook are hoping for a good “meltback” season on the mountain, so they may make the final discovery of Noah’s Ark. Searson adds, “We firmly believe the Ark is up there, and with God’s guidance we will locate it and use the discovery for His glory and honor.”

Wildcat Baseball Keeps Postseason Hopes Alive The Culver-Stockton College baseball team kept its postseason hopes alive by winning three of four games at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, over the weekend. The Wildcats are currently 18-19 overall and 9-9 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference. C-SC is one game ahead of Avila University and two games ahead of Graceland for the sixth and final spot in the HAAC Postseason Tournament. The Wildcats and Avila have eight games remaining in league play while Graceland has six games remaining. The weekend didn’t get started well as the Wildcats dropped the opening game at Graceland 6-5 after rallying from three runs down to tie the game in the seventh inning. Trailing 5-2 and with two out, Brock Kartheiser drilled a three-run
homer down the left field line to tie the game. Graceland scratched out a run in the bottom of the inning to grab the victory. In game two of the series, the story was Cyrus Wimberly, who upended the Yellowjackets 1-0 on just three hits. He also walked three and struck out 10. The 1-0, complete-game shutout was Wimberly’s third of the season, all against conference foes. On Sunday, the Wildcats came from behind in both games to sweep the doubleheader and win the series by the scores of 8-5 and 5-4. C-SC used a six-run sixth inning to overcome a 4-2 deficit in the first game, and then put up a four-run inning in the nightcap to overcome a 2-0 deficit. Earlier in the week, the Wildcats picked up a single, non-conference
game with Quincy University, falling to the Hawks 10-8 last Thursday. Offensively, Jason Schwartz, who hadn’t played since March 17 due to injury, returned to action and led the offense with a .474 batting average during the week. He had four doubles among his nine hits and drove in a team-high seven runs. Dominick Minogue and Danny Carroll each collected seven hits this week with Minogue hitting .467 with a double and five RBI. Carroll hit .389 with a RBI. The Wildcats are slated to play their final home series of the season this weekend at Nichols Field. C-SC is scheduled to host Missouri Valley College in doubleheaders this Saturday and Sunday, April 20-21. Game time each day is slated set for 1 p.m.

in entertainment. They provided tips on what to do and what not to do when trying to find work. Students were encouraged to ask questions during the class. About 20 students were in attendance. They received advice about topics ranging from how to get a casting interview to what to do once you are there. Students had the opportunity to show off their skills and have Malick and Gatt tell them ways they could improve their performance to land the part. Malick and Gatt both agreed the best advice they could give to anyone who is interested in pursuing acting is to give acting a real attempt. “Make sure you give it a serious try,� Gatt said. “Don’t go into it half-heartedly. Give it your best shot.� Gatt said that most times it is the business that will make or break a person in the entertainment industry. In conjunction with making sure to seriously attempt acting, Malick said to make sure the people around you were positive influences. “Surround yourself with only positive people,� Malick said. “The negative ones will only bring you down.�

Free Oral Cancer Screenings This year in the United States 30,000 people will develop oral cancer and 8,000 will die. It is the 6th leading cancer in the country and the 4th leading cancer for African American men. Men have twice the risk of women and in the past 10 years there has been a substantial increase in oral cancers in Americans under the age of 30. Tobacco use has been associated with about 75% of all oral cancers and alcohol increases the risk factor when combined with smoking. The Human Papilloma Virus, especially type 16 and 18, are sexually transmitted diseases and account for the increase in tongue and/or pharyngeal cancers. The survival
rate for oral cancer is one of the poorest, only 52% survive 5 years. It kills one person every 5 hours. Signs and symptoms of oral cancer may include a sore that bleeds and does not heal, pain in the mouth, difficulty swallowing or speaking and voice changes. This year, as in the past, Hannibal Regional Hospital in cooperation with the James E. Cary Cancer Center will be holding free oral cancer screenings. They will be held on Wednesday, April 24 at the Cancer Center from 5 – 7. The cancer exam is noninvasive, quick and painless.

Charles Peacock shares his memories Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com Charles Peacock of Lewis County has written down his memories of living in Lewis County and raising a family, He began the project because he felt it was important for his children and grandchildren to have the information of their family history. He titled the family book, Charles Peacock, A Poor Boy from Lewis County. He encourages everyone to write down their memories so that future generations will have a written account of their past family history. Mr. Peacock’s grandfather came from Harrison County, Ohio, his grandmother was from Lewis County, they had four children, Ferdinand, Claude, Roby and Charles. Charles was born in 1890 in Kahoka, he married Anke Telletta Janssen, born in 1897. Charles Henry Peacock was born Feb. 28, 1930 north of Ewing, Mo. He married Anna Marie Murphy Peacock. They had nine children, Norene, Charles Jr., James, Michael, Karen, John, Linda, Craig and Larry. Peacock says when he born, he was told when he was born the roads were so muddy the doctor had to stay overnight until the baby came. He was born north of Ewing by North F at Ten Mile. He remembers his early years as a trying time. The corn in the field burned up, the bugs were so bad they took over his mother’s garden and the roof on the house blew off. The only time he ever remembers seeing his Dad cry was when the crops were all gone from the hot and dry weather and he couldn’t get a job. The winter he started school he says there was a big ice storm and ice froze over all his clothes and books on the way home. His Dad tied the cows to a post and took water and feed to them, they couldn’t walk on the ice. He began attending church at a young age where he learned the golden rule, Mrs Ball was the teacher. Playmates included James and Jack Rays, Donal Waiher, Bobby Cason, Carlisle Washburn and Wayne Crabill. Most of the time they went fishing and swimming.
In the summertime they picked dewberries. The best dewberry field was on the farm of John Loscher and along the road, where there were lots of berries. The country hadn’t started using limestone rock on the roads, yet. When they did the lime from the rock killed all the berries. In 1937 the family moved to Mr. McCarthy’s 33 acre farm and his mother began to wash and clean for people. She got 50 cents to one dollar for a half day and she would walk to and from work. She washed clothes by hand on a wash board and starched and ironed. She received one dollar for a basket full. For white shirts, she got fifteen cents a shirt. The white shirts were for a doctor, Representative F. Conrath and Mr. Miles MaNally. She did all the washing with wood stove heat and continued until 1944. During these years, he was feeding the chickens and gathering the eggs. In the summer during his seventh grade he helped George Dicken when they were thrashing out oats and wheat. He was the water boy. At the age of thirteen, his first job was with Mannie Brumback. Mr. Brumback told his mother that he would get him a new suit for his eighth grade graduation and also pay him three dollars a week. He got the new clothes and also was at the top of his class. It was the only new suit he ever had until he got married. He says Mr. Brumback helped him a lot. He taught him to always be on time to work. He then worked for Mr. Lillard. He helped put up hay. It was the first time he had ice for his milk. He wanted to get a full time job, but he had to be 18. He had his mother sign permission papers for him to go into the Army. Bobby Cason and him went into the service, they didn’t have a cent to their name. They were sent to Fort Sheridan, Ill. Peacock then went to Fort Knox, Ken. The summer of 1947 was the hottest summer they ever had. He then went to jump school, they ran five miles around the airport every day, They had an ambulance coming along after them to pick up the ones that passed out. He then went to Fort Bragg for over two years. He was on special duty basketball team in the fall. He got out of the Army and his brother, Roby, convinced him to join the Navy.
He was in the Navy for six days, when war broke out and he was on his way overseas on the ship USS James Kyes 787 and was on it for one year. On a thirty day leave, he hitchhiked home, and made it home in a two and a half days. He then went to the US Hunt in San Diego, then to New Port Rhode Island, then to the Boston Navy Ship Yards. He was ill for a time while being in the Navy. He was discharged on his birthday, Feb. 28, 1953. He met his wife Anna.. They married on Sept. 12, 1953, Mr. Peacock fondly remembers that as “The best day of my life.” Anna was born in 1930 in Flint, Mich. Her mother died at age 34 and Anna had to take care of the children. Her dad died three years later riding in a car beside Anna. The Peacock’s began their married life on the farm in Ewing. With not much to eat, he would go with Mr. Carter, a raccoon hunter. He carried the raccoons and got the meat. Anna fixed them ten different ways. The couple had nine children, worked hard all their life providing for their family. Mr. Peacock worked at a job and continued to farm, later expanding his hog operation. The children all helped with the work. Mr. Peacock says they always took the kids to church every week, and always told them they should live by the Ten Commandments. You should honor your Father and Mother. All of their children have gone on to successful careers and families. Five of them were in the military service, four with more than 20 years. Sadly, his wife, Anna, has passed away. He has several people he is very grateful to for their kindness, help and support through the years. They include his parents, Father McEvay, Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Leach, who were teachers, John Lewis, businessman, John Zuspann and Mannie Brumback, who gave him his first job. He thanks his wife Anna. People who gave him credit were Arthur Conover, and Mr. Hubble Sr. He also appreciates the Lewistown Bank, who gave him loans. He says Ralph Lay always had time to help him. Mr. Peacock enjoys telling his story and reminds people to write down some of their family history, it will be treasured by a younger generation.
The Big Muddy What is a Watershed?
A Big Muddy History The name “Missouri,” in Missouri River, comes from a Native American tribe that lived along the river. The name means “People of the Ca Big Canoes” because the tribe used massive “d “dugout” canoes made from cottonwood llogs. The state was named after the river. The river’s nickname is “The Big Muddy,” because of all the dirt and sand tthat the river brings along with it, which gi gives it a chocolate color. The Missouri ends in the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers near St. Louis. The first white American explorers to travel the length of the Missouri River were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, along with their crew called the Corps of Discovery. It took them 14 months to get up the river to Three Forks, Montana, where the Missouri River starts. A boat can’t float from the beginning of the Missouri River to the end anymore because there are 15 dams along the river. Six of those dams create huge “reservoirs” or lakes that help control floods on the river and store water for dry years. The river also has been straightened, or “channelized,” to keep it from moving around and to make it easier for barges to use the river. Today the river is 72 miles shorter than it was when Lewis and Clark traveled it.
A watershed includes all of the land that drains into the same river. It acts like a giant bowl. We all live in a watershed. If it rains in your backyard, that water will eventually drain into a stream, and then a river. Your watershed is named after the biggest river that rain will drain into. The Missouri River wate watershed is 1/6 of the area o of the continental United
States. The Missouri River watershed includes parts of 10 states and two Canadian provinces. The river itself touches seven states: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. The Missouri River is 2,341 miles long, making it the longest river in North America. All of the Missouri River Watershed is also part of the Mississippi River watershed because the Missouri River flows into the “Mighty Miss.” All of the streams

Trashing our River
>
Fishermen or other people hanging out along the river leave some of the trash in the Missouri River. Some gets dumped in the river by people too lazy to dispose of it properly. But most of it washes in from other rivers and streams that drain into the Missouri River. Any piece of trash from any street or yard in your town can get blown or washed into a storm drain or stream. All of that ends up draining into the big river. There are no government agencies that regularly clean trash from the Missouri River. It is up to local communities to clean their rivers. Since 2001, Missouri River Relief has hosted 104 river cleanups in 22 communities, working with 17,000 volunteers to remove 718 tons of trash from the b banks of the Missouri River. That’s almost 11-½ million pounds of jjunk tthat doesn’t belong g there!

40% of Missouri residents get their drinking water from the One Missouria n Missouri River. One Hundred Uses Gallons or 832 Lbs. In Missouri, 80 percent of concrete of Water a Da is made from Missouri River sand. y! The “Big Muddy” is less muddy than it used to be. The river carries 1/4 of the sediment (sand and mud) that it did naturally. That sediment is now trapped behind dams. The Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is required to manage the Missouri River for 8 purposes: Navigation, Flood Control, Water Supply, Water Quality, Fish and Wildlife, Recreation, Irrigation and Hydropower. The Missouri River is about 1/3 as wide as it was. Channelization created new farm land but destroyed many thousands of acres of habitat for birds, fish and wildlife. The USACE is now working to restore somee of the islands and wetlands that fish and wildlife need.
