Band Director Ryan Christian said, “ We are less than a month away from this trip and I am thrilled to be able to take these kids to Florida! Please remember these trips are planned to help build our program and bring our kids closer by traveling and performing together outside of Lewis County. Not only is this a huge honor to get to play

at the halftime of the Gator Bowl but also be one of only seven other bands across the country selected to be a part of this. We have come a long way from nine years ago when I got here with 12 kids in band to where we are now and we have used trips to build this program and give our kids an experience and opportunity they may never get again.” Christian said, “I am so proud of this program and our kids and I have appreciated the

support along the way. All I ask is that this community continues to believe in what I am trying to build here in Lewis County and continue to support my efforts.”

The band has placed fi rst in several events over the past marching seasons and has over 90 members. The prizes will be drawn on Dec. 17. Tickets are available from any band member or for more information contact band director Ryan Christian at Highland High School.

On Dec. 2, Marla D. Hack-emack, 35, of Canton, was driving a 2003 GMC Envoy eastbound on HWY E when she traveled off the right side of the road, overcorrected, crossed back over the roadway and overturned, striking a tree. Hackemack was transported by Lewis Co. ambulance to Bless-ing Hospital for apparently moderate injuries. Hackemack was wearing her seatbelt.

On Dec. 2, Gilbert J. Hinz, 75 of Monticello, while driv-ing his 1994 Dodge Truck east-bound on HWY 16 in Monti-cello, turned into the path of a 1994 Ford Ranger Truck driven by James L.

Minutes of the Lewis County C-1 School Board for Nov. 15. Minutes are edited. A full copy can be obtained at the Lewis County C-1 Central Offi ce.

The Lewis County C-1 Board met in regular session on Nov. 15. The board approved the updated substitute list for the 2012-2013 school year. Through meetings with Martin Meyer, an architect with Architechniques, concerning asbestos abatement in the Highland High School, Superintendent Ebeling and Scott Miller learned of Architechnics’ assistance with potential building/facility improvements.

LEWIS COUNTY C-1 BOARD MINUTES

The board determined to discuss this at their next meeting.

Short term goals were discussed. They include driveways at HES and HHS; sidewalks and curbing at HHS; thermostat repair for Gym at HHS; softball fi eld at HHS; football-chain link fence for safety; parking at HES and replacing front glass at HHS. Long term goals considered are: Gym; middle school/high school; multi purpose building and teacher salaries.

The board approved the bid from French Gerleman for the lighting and Consolidated Contractors for the outfi eld fencing for the softball fi eld. The board studied the bids for the concrete of the sidewalks and curbing for HHS and directed the superintendent to follow up by contacting the contractors with questions. A report will be given at the next meeting. Discussion was held concerning the roads at both HHS and HES, with costs in the estimates of over $300,000. More

discussion will be held in future meetings.

Alan Koch reported on the progress of the changes to the scheduling for the 2013-2014 school year. Highland will no longer have block scheduling and will return to either a seven or eight period days with possible plans to utilize some time for study and intervention strategies. More details will be presented at the December meeting.

There was interest shown in securing someone who might be interested n writing grants

for the district. The board approved the 2011-2012 audit which is available for community patrons to review. A report was given on the results of the 2011-2012 MAP assessment.

The School Board fi ling date is Dec. 11 2012 to January 15, 2013. For persons interested in signing up for the board, Central Offi ce hours during the holidays will be Dec. 27 from 8:30 a.m. To noon.

DVENTURES OF

BARTLETT

BACKWARD GLANCESFrom the pages of early Lewis County newspapers

IMAGES OF YESTERYEAR

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

WONDER MOM

In every great story, the hero/heroine must at some point come across an ob-stacle that challenges the way that they believe or act. I’ve heard that life is a story, but I believe there are many more climaxes and challenging turns in life than any story could every put justice to.

As a young girl, I loved reading and watching movies. At the end of the book or movie, I remem-ber feeling empty, due to my ‘little adventure’ be-ing over. I felt the sadness, happiness, and anger of the characters. Even as a young girl, I felt as though I understood their strife. I fi nd this incredibly strange since I don’t feel like I truly understand anything about my own life.

I believe, as a parent, I’m losing my mind- to say the least. My beauti-ful daughter’s terrible two tantrums are getting worse by the day, her eating hab-its vary from ‘starving’ to ‘never eating again’, her sleeping habits are com-pletely out of sync (as in up until 5 a.m. Monday morning, with my wake-up to get ready for work time at seven), and it feels as though I’m running in circles while complet-ing nothing at all. I’m so exhausted, I’m surprised my keyboard hasn’t had a short from all the drool…

It is on days like these that I wish there was a direct answer for every parenting question that I have. Not multiple opin-ions in which any or none might possibly be benefi -cial- just one simple, “Do this and ONLY this.”

Of course, I’m com-pletely overlooking the fact that every adventure has trials. I’m overlook-ing the fact that this stage of my daughter’s develop-ment IS a little adventure for the two of us. I just hope I’m strong enough to slay this dragon, because at the moment, my cour-age feels pretty weak.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about mother-hood, it’s that I’m never alone. There’s always someone out there that has been through the same thing or something similar. The diffi cult part is telling yourself this as you’re rocking your child and continuously watch-ing the clock- hoping that she goes to sleep and praying that you have the chance to turn the alarm clock off before it goes

Where has all the adventure gone?

off and the whole process begins again. And here I was thinking that sleep-ing through the night shouldn’t be a problem for an almost-two-year-old.

And when it comes to the tantrums, I have no idea what too do. I’ve read things on the internet, talked to friends, etc., and every time I try to imple-ment the “ignore her” or “sit and calmly wait until the tantrum passes” ideas, someone marches in, snatches her up, and holds her- completely undoing everything I’m trying to work towards. Time out works well for her father, but when I try it, she sim-ply slides herself slowly from her place on the couch to the fl oor, even after I put her back on the couch and scold her. I’ve even tried sitting with her and holding her- to which she responds with a shrill scream, slapping, kicking, and scratching. I’ve even tried spanking- which I hate to do- to no avail.

The strangest part is how I can be so complete-ly fl ustered with her that I feel as though my brain might boil over and yet this feeling is almost com-pletely forgotten when she looks up at me, smiles and says “Mama.” My kid’s cuteness is like kryptonite. I need to make a sign for my house stating, “All Ye Who Enter Here, Beware.”

So, with all that being said, all of you Wonder Moms out there that have made it past the terrible two’s, are going through it, or even those of you that know someone who is going through it and have made great strides, send me your suggestions. Sub-mit your thoughts to The Vent or email me at [email protected]. I’m more than happy to listen to your thoughts- even if it’s simply to share your own toddler horror story with me.

Don’t know what to buy for some of the people on your Christmas list? Why not give them the gift of news? Delivered weekly to their mailbox, the newspaper is one present they’ll never grow tired of. Call today and take advantage of this great holiday offer!

Nov. 11, 1937The new Canton

Theatre, which will have its grand opening on Nov. 12, is one of the newest and mot up-to-date show house in the State of Missouri. The cost of the structure will exceed $35,000 and no town the size of Canton can boast of such a building, so complete in beauty, comfort and service.

The large frame house occupied by W.F. Roberson and family on the Henry Hamam farm, north of Monticello, burned Wednesday night. The greatest loss was canned fruit and vegetables.

Clara Sparrow, 10-year-

old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sparrow, was instantly killed by a Burlington passenger train at a point north of West Quincy Tuesday afternoon while she was crossing the track in a blinding rainstorm. The Sparrows, until last spring, resided at Ewing.

J.T. Coder and Company of Lewistown was the lucky bidder for most of the furniture that will be put in the new County Home.



A war tax of fi ve cents will be put on all long distance phone messages beginning Nov. 1.

One of the most elaborate functions ever held in LaGrange was observed Saturday night in the new addition of the Gardner Governor Works. About 400 invitations had been issued in and about LaGrange and about 100 from Quincy had chartered a special car for the occasion. The reception was held in three rooms of the new addition. An orchestra from Quincy furnished splendid music for dancing and refreshments of sandwiches, pickles, ice cream, cake and punch

were served. There are about 80 employees at the present time, the payroll being about $40,000 yearly.



The well on O. Clay’s farm, drilled by the Artesian Well Auger, will run 4,800 gallons of water daily. The machine was drilling a well on W. G. Watson’s farm yesterday.

Barnes Bros., of this place, shipped last week 1,000 turkeys and geese to Chicago and we are glad to report they came out whole on the receipts, realizing a profi t. It was quite an enterprise on the part of our go ahead young merchants and they deserve to be appreciated by the community from whom they bought so liberally. This is the biggest shipment of fowls ever made from this place.

No track laying has been commenced in Clark County as yet. One cut in Sand Hill Township, Scotland County, between Gorin and Sand Hill, is the largest cut on the line between kansas City and Chicago. This is one mile long, 55 feet deep at the center. It is through a ridge of the prairie. Of the 185,000 yards of earth in it, there remains 8,000 yards yet to be excavated.

This was the scene almost fi fty years ago when looking north on Fourth Street near Poage Street in LaGrange. The dairy cows are owned by Robert Farr and in the background is the property of Richard and Linda Hess, also known as Windy Hill, and at that time it was the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Horn The landscape hasn’t changed too much in the last half century, but many trees have been planted and matured.

Lewis County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director John Wheeler, announced that calendar year 2012 brings several changes to the way FSA reports a producer’s farm program payments to the producer and to IRS.

In past years, IRS Forms 1099-G would be issued to show all program payments received from the Farm Service Agency, regardless of the amount.

“Starting with calendar year 2012, producers whose total reportable payments from FSA are

FSA reports program changesChanges to Form 1099-G and 1099-MISC for FSA Producers and Vendors...

less than $600 will not receive IRS Form 1099-G (Report of Payments to Producers),” said Wheeler. Additionally, producers who receive payments from more than one county will only receive one Form 1099-G if the total of all payments from all counties is $600 or more, Wheeler said.

“Producers who receive

less than $600 in combined payments should consult a tax advisor to determine if these payments must be reported on their tax return,” he said.

If the payments were subject to voluntary withholdings or subject to backup (involuntary) withholdings a Form 1099-G will be issued regardless of the total amount of the

payments, Wheeler said. The same changes will

apply to producers and vendors who normally receive IRS Form 1099-MISC from FSA.

For more information regarding IRS reporting changes, please contact the Lewis County FSA offi ce at (573)767-5274.

Gerald Gosney of the Durham and Maywood area, was a participant on the Great River Honor Flight on Oct. 25. This event enables military veterans to travel to Wash-ington D.C. to visit war memorials and other inter-esting sites.

Mr. Gosney is a Ko-rean War veteran and was a wheel and track me-chanic during his service time. He was drafted in February 1951. His ba-sic training was in Camp Cook California. He spent seven months at Mt. Fuji in Japan and was in the 40th Infantry Division. He spent nine months in Korea, leaving Japan on leap year day 1952 and leaving Korea the Mon-day before Thanksgiving in 1952. When arriving in Korea they got off the ship and then traveled by train as far as they could, then trucked the rest of the way. The fi rst night after arriving at their destina-tion they were welcomed by ‘Bed Check Charlie” a single engine enemy plane equipped with 50 caliber guns. They were sleeping on army cots and one sol-dier had his cot head bar shattered by the bullets. Enemy airplane fl y overs were common.

Although never in combat Gosney was sta-tioned close to the front and could hear the battles.

He celebrated his twenty-fi rst birthday in Japan and his twenty-

second birthday in Korea. He describes doing a little drinking with the other soldiers and one night he fell in a foxhole and really doesn’t remember how he got out of it.

Mr. Gosney said the honor fl ight trip was a wonderful experience and the veterans were wel-comed by everyone they met. He said he shook more hands in that one

day and he had ever be-fore. A group of middle school students greeted the vets and the kids felt they were privileged to be able to thank the veterans and shake their hands.

He continues to live in the house where he was born. Dr. Ellery of La-Grange delivered him. He farmed with his parents most of his life. He enjoys playing spider solitaire on

the computer and is proud of his seventy percent winning average.

Gosney said the group enjoyed seeing the many sights of Washington, D.C. and the Arlington Cemetery ceremonies. He encourages all veterans to take the opportunity to be on an Honor Flight. It was an experience he will never forget.

War Veteran Gerald Gosney par-ticipated on the Great River Honor Flight on October 25, 2012. An event he and the other War Veterans great-ly enjoyed.

Unique Courses for Culver-Stockton Fall 2012 Three Week Semester

Culver-Stockton College’s fall 3-week session of classes have begun. The 2012 fall 3-week is full of dynamic and unique courses for students, and multiple travel courses have been offered.

At least ten classes have overnight traveling integrated into the coursework this term, and many others have day trips planned. Traveling provides students with the experiential learning Culver-Stockton is becoming known for. For example, one art class is traveling Paris, Rome and Florence to see the world’s masterpieces fi rsthand. Two other professors, Dr. Scott Giltner and Dr. Lauren Schellenberger, joined together to take 18 students to Belize and Guatemala for two weeks. The two professors are technically teaching different courses—Dr. Giltner’s students are taking “Environmental History,” and Dr. Schellenberger’s students are taking “Tropical Ecology”—but are taking an interdisciplinary approach to the trip. The two group of students will be participating in the same activities, with a different focus for the writing assignments and quizzes. The group will interact with indigenous cultures, spend three days in the rainforest, and snorkel in the world’s second largest coral reef.

Extended international trips are not the only traveling during C-SC’s 3-week. During one day trip, fi ve classes joined together to travel to a National Guard Training Course in Macon, Mo. Sixty-eight students participated in several leadership-building activities, including repelling down a building and playing paintball.

Travel is only one aspect of the 3-week term, and not all courses will travel. For classes with no travel activities, the length of time and intensive nature of the class provides a unique affect.

C-SC is one of only two schools in the nation to implement the 12/3 semester calendar, and the school is now in the fi fth year of the program. With the 12/3 calendar, the typical 15-week semester is broken into two terms: a 12-week, when students take 3-4 classes, and a 3-week, when students focus on only one class. This schedule allows students to focus on fewer classes at once, and it allows professors to integrate a higher level of active and experiential learning into classes. Many students choose to complete internships during the 3-week. Traveling and internships are convenient during the 3-week because students do not have to worry about other classes. The 12/3 calendar is only one way that Culver-Stockton has implemented new theories and programs to benefi t students. Other examples included the 4-Year Graduation Guarantee and e-portfolios. All programs are implemented to keep in touch with an ever-changing student market.

For more information on Culver-Stockton’s 12/3 calendar, contact Heidi Lanier at 573-288-6312 or at [email protected].

SHARE And HEAL Plan Holiday Memorial Service

Blessing Hospital’s SHARE and HEAL support groups will hold a holiday memorial service on Thursday, Dec. 13 at 6:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Bless-ing Hospital, 11th Street Campus. The regular monthly SHARE meeting will follow the service. There will be a HEAL meeting on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 1:00 p.m. in the Quincy Senior Center and Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 7:00 p.m. in the Blessing-Rie-man College of Nursing.

SHARE is a group for parents who have lost a child either by miscarriage, stillbirth, illness, or accident. HEAL is for adults who are coping with the death of a spouse, close friend or loved one.

The service will feature music, special readings and a time to share memories about the loved ones and children being remembered. Those attending will also decorate the Memorial Tree by placing an angel ornament on the tree in honor of their loved one or child. Please bring a picture of your loved one to display dur-ing the service. The tree will be on dis-play in the Hospital’s Chapel throughout the holiday season.

Please RSVP by Dec. 12, if you are planning to attend by calling the Blessing Hospital Volunteer Services Department at (217) 223-8400, ext. 6825.

Don’t Drive if You’re Tipsy, Buzzed or BlitzenCalendars are quickly fi lling with fes-tive social gatherings and parties. During this hustle and bustle time, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety reminds motorists designate a driver or call a cab and avoid driving impaired. Law en-forcement is on the lookout for impaired drivers, with targeted enforcement efforts Dec. 10-16. “Drinking and driving is never a good combination. It’s just not worth the risk,” says Leanna Depue, executive chair of the coalition. “If you’re going to drink, plan another way home before the celebration begins, and encourage your friends and family to do the same.” Throughout December, safety advertising in restaurants and bars will remind pa-trons to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Santa’s reindeer adorn restroom posters, mirror clings and drink coasters with a “Don’t Drive if You’re Tipsy, Buzzed or Blitzen” message. These lively little rein-deer are a creative reminder of the impor-tance of driving completely sober. There are no excuses to drive impaired. The facts are known - drinking and driv-ing is a lethal combination. The conse-quences can be fi nes, jail time, or even death. In December 2011, 67 people died and 456 were seriously injured in Mis-souri traffi c crashes. Seventeen of those fatalities and 69 of serious injuries in-volved an impaired driver.

Blessing Hospital was honored with an “A” Hos-pital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, an in-dependent national non-profi t run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefi ts. The A score was awarded in the latest update to the Hos-pital Safety ScoreSM, the A, B, C, D or F scores assigned to U.S. hospi-tals based on preventable medical errors, injuries accidents, and infections. The Hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public informa-tion they can use to pro-tect themselves and their families.

“People trust us with their lives and the lives of their loved ones,” said Maureen Kahn, RN, MHA, MSN, president/chief executive offi cer, Blessing Hospital. “They expect and deserve the safest, highest quality healthcare possible. Ev-

Blessing Hospital Awarded an “A” for Patient Safety by Hospital Safety Score

ery Blessing Hospital staff member is committed to delivering that level of care. This honor from the Leapfrog Group tells our patients Blessing Hospital staff delivers on its com-mitment to them.”

“Hospitals like Bless-ing that earn an A have demonstrated their com-mitment to their patients and their community,” said Leah Binder, presi-dent and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “I con-gratulate Blessing Hos-pital for its safety excel-lence, and look forward to the day when all hospitals will match this standard.”

“Enhancing patient safety is a journey of con-tinuous process improve-ment,” Kahn continued. “Changes in technology and science and the com-plexity of care challenge our processes and raise the standards each year.”

A recent example of Blessing Hospital em-ploying science and tech-nology to improve patient safety is its use of Knowl-

edge Based Medication Administration (KBMA). Through this computer-based, bedside system, nurses scan bar codes on a patient’s medication to ensure the right patient is going to receive the right medication through the right route at the right time.

“While the ‘A’ in safety from the Leapfrog Group is defi nitely a high honor for us, the highest honor we receive each and every day is the trust of our pa-tients,” Kahn concluded.

To see Blessing Hos-pital’s scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, which also provides information on how the public can protect them-selves and loved ones dur-ing a hospital stay. People can also check their local hospital’s score on the free mobile app, available at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org.

NEWSThree Missouri State Parks Will Close Temporarily Dec. 8-9 For Deer Hunts

Deer hunters will have a rare opportunity to harvest a whitetail deer in three Missouri state parks during managed deer hunts to alleviate deer overpopulations on Dec. 8-9, Missouri State Parks announced today. During the hunts, the parks will be closed to everyone except the deer hunters.

By law, state parks are established as wildlife refuges and hunting is not permitted except under special circumstances. However, these special hunts are being used as a resource management tool because the deer population is too large for the environment of the park and resources in the park are being damaged.

Special hunts will be conducted Dec. 8-9 at the following parks:

• Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park in Wildwood.

• Cuivre River State Park near Troy.• Watkins Woolen Mill State Park near Lawson.The hunts will be conducted following guidelines

established by the Missouri Department of Conservation, which regulates hunting of wildlife in the state. Hunters who will be participating submitted special applications this summer for the Department of Conservation’s special managed hunts, which are held annually. Hunters were selected through a random computer drawing. Only those hunters who already have a special permit will be allowed to participate in the hunts.

“These hunts provide benefi ts for the hunters and for state parks. They provide hunters with a unique opportunity to help us manage the deer herd and provide protein for the family table, or for another family through the Share the Harvest program,” said Bill Bryan, director of Missouri State Parks, a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Missouri State Parks administers state parks and historic sites throughout Missouri. All other state parks and historic sites, other than the three mentioned, will not be affected by the hunts and will remain open to the public.

For more information on Missouri state parks and historic sites, visit mostateparks.com. Missouri State Parks is a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Troop B Offi cers To Participate In Statewide Holiday DWI Enforcement Campaign

Captain James E. Wilt, commanding offi cer of Troop B, Macon, announces that Troop B offi cers will be par-ticipating in the statewide 2012 Holiday DWI Enforce-ment Campaign to stop people from driving impaired this holiday season. Enforcement efforts will be in-creased from December 10, 2012, through December 16, 2012, and will focus on reducing deaths and injuries caused by impaired drivers. In 2011, 209 individuals were killed and 3,630 were injured in alcohol-related traffi c crashes.

“Losing a loved one during the holiday season is a tragedy no one should have to endure,” stated Captain Wilt. “Impaired driving is a preventable crime, and we intend to work diligently to remove impaired drivers from our roadways.”

The Patrol encourages motorists to protect them-selves from all types of hazardous drivers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Click It 4 Life !!

Whitetails Unlimited recently presented a $500 check to the LaGrange Community Youth Center. The Center depends on donations to maintain and operate the facility. Pictured are: Betty Bronestine, Tim Docterman, David Allen, Ed Sweet and Sue El-len Robertson.
