Tina Meier was a typical mother seven years ago. She had a teenage daughter, Megan, who was having trouble with peer pressure in school. Tina Meier came to Highland High School March 20 to tell people her story.

Meier told her daughter to ignore the people who were causing the prob-lem. She explained the steps she had taken and the advice she had given her daughter. Her beautiful daughter, like any typical teenager, had doubts about

herself. She wanted to fi t in with the crowd. Meier thought everything was getting better. Megan had befriended a boy and talked with him during her computer time. Th en one day the boy messaged her that their relationship was over. Other people on My Space joined in and said that Megan was a mean person who shouldn’t even live.

Megan was upset, her mother tried to console her, doing everything she could to make her daughter feel bet-ter. Tina Meier was downstairs in her home, when an unexplainable feeling came over her.

Making Quilts for the Needy

Rita CoxEditor

rita1@lewispnj.com

Th e St. Peters Lutheran Church Parish hall is always a warm and welcoming place, but especially so during the winter months on Wednesday aft ernoons. Th e members of the Lutheran Women Missionary League and other volunteers meet every week in January through March to make quilts that are donated to Lutheran World Re-lief. Many of the completed quilts go to third world countries, where some of the recipients are given the fi rst quilt they have ever owned. Th e quilts are made of polyester material, used because it is so durable. In the countries that the quilts are donated to, they have to be washed on a rock, so they are made to last.

According to its website, LWR promotes sustainable development by helping communities increase the qual-ity of life, engage in Fair Trade and be better equipped to handle emergencies. Th is expanded mission originated

from its beginnings as a non-governmental organization founded in 1945 for helping many European Lutherans who suff ered devastation during World War II. Th eir mission statement states, Affi rming God’s love for all people, we work with Lutherans and partners around the world to end poverty, injustice and human suff ering.

Th e group meets in the morning and a fl urry of activ-ity begins. Everyone has a task. Donated clothing, made of polyester material, is cut into blocks for quilts. Rich-ard and Wilma Maples spend hours cutting up old pant suits or dresses into 11 inch quilt blocks. Th e blocks then need to be ironed, then they are laid out in a pattern. Sewing machines, donated by former members, Wilma Stout and Elizabeth Cox, are put into use sewing the blocks. Maxine Wolfmeyer brings her sewing machine from home to use. Th e volunteers cheerfully chat during their busy work, keeping their hands busy at all times.

Each quilt is 60 by 80 inches, and has 48 blocks. Each quilt is a colorful, handmade piece of art. Alice Solter, says the ladies have been doing this project each year,

starting before 1990.Aft er a morning of sewing, laughter and fellowship,

the ladies take a break for lunch and their husbands and other friends are welcome to join them for a carry-in meal of delicious food. During Lent, 11 a.m. services are held. Aft er lunch, the men usually do the dishes and clean up, while the women get back to work making the quilts and spend the aft ernoon working hard, but also having fun.

Th is year the last day of the project was March 20, the ladies were busy fi nishing their handiwork. Quilts of all colors were stacked and ready to be sent to Columbia, Mo., to be distributed. Some of the quilts stay in Lew-is County, they are donated to the nursing homes and others are donated locally to someone in need. Some of the quilts also go to the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch in North Dakota. Th e ladies had completed at least 130 quilts this season.

Donations of polyester material is always needed and welcome, anytime of the year. Although polyester mate-rial is no longer popular, many people fi nd unused gar-ments at yard sales or cleaning out a closet that can be donated to the church for the quilts. Volunteers and visi-tors are always welcome.

These beautiful ladies of the Lutheran Women Missionary League work together to make quilts to be donated. Pictured are (l. to r.) Sarah Feldkamp, Jan Solter, Margaret Jarvis, Arlene Nunn, Adlene Travis, Maxine Wolfmeyer, Alice Lee Solter, Gloria Tatkenhorst, Phyllis Merrell. Members (not pictured include Becky Heimonem, Becky Jones, Hilda Lahr, Norma Earlywine.

She rushed upstairs to Megan’s room and found her hanging in her closet. A video of her husband and her on the Dr. Phil show was shown. Th e 9-1-1 call was played for the Highland audience. Th eir daughter was gone.

Aft er Megan’s death, the family learned that the boy she had been talking on the computer with was a fi c-tional account made up by a neighbor’s mother to fi nd out if Megan had been talking about her daughter. Th e same mother came to Megan’s funeral services and of-fered her condolences. Because of this, many laws are in place to stop cyber-bullying. Th e mother was never charged, but Tina Meier says her punishment is that she has to live with the fact that she caused a teenager to commit suicide.

Tina Meier speaks to audiences all over the country telling her story and how bullying aff ected their lives. Th ey lost their daughter. She began the Megan Meier Foundation to initiate change in the way suicide and bul-lying are handled. She speaks to students, teachers, par-ents and everyone else about the need to monitor social networks and media their children use. She speaks from the heart, trying to ease the pain and trying to make sure that kind of pain doesn’t happen to other parents. She asks schools and parents to empower students to inter-vene when peers bully other students. She speaks of teen suicide from a voice of experience.

Megan lived in Dardenne Prairie, Mo. She was born in 1992. Megan Meier died a few weeks before her four-

teenth birthday on Oct. 17, 2006. About a year aft er her death, her mother began the Megan Meier Founda-tion. Th e organization states that it exists to promote “awareness, education and promote positive change to children, parents and educators in response to the ongo-ing bullying and cyber-bullying in our children’s daily environment.” Th e Megan Meier Foundation website is wwwmeganmeier.org.

Tina Meier says she misses her daughter every day and that gives her the strength to spread the message about her daughter’s life and how it could have been pre-vented.

Students, parents, staff and community members from Highland and surrounding schools attended the emotional presentation. Meier asked the crowd several questions about peer pressure and other teenage prob-lems. Meier warned parents about the dangers teens face today through social media. She told everyone to take threats of suicide serious and to get help for their children and to intervene to resolve problems. She urged schools and parents to encourage students to peacefully interfere when a confl ict begins.

Tina Meier also told students when their parents nag them to buckle up, not drink and drive, monitor their computer and phone accounts, they are just trying to protect their kids and trying to prevent the worst pain a parent can feel from happening.

Troop B Offi cers To Step Up Seat Belt Enforcement On April 15, 2013

To the Citizens of Lewis CountyI want to thank all the citizens of Lewis County whom

I have spoken with over the past month regarding Prop-osition Public Safety. Your support and encouragement has been an important reminder of how much you sup-port good law enforcement. Please remember to vote on April 2nd to show your support for the Sheriff ’s Offi ce. Th is critical safety measure will keep Lewis County safe from those who wish to do us harm by restoring the jail staff to four full time employees. Due to reduced state reimbursements and the higher cost of doing business we have been unable to fully staff the jail for nearly three years. Because of an inability to pay jail staff we have had over 40 diff erent jailers since I have been Sheriff .

Th is revenue will help the Sheriff ’s Offi ce enhance school safety and keep our school children safe. While some people would like to believe a tragedy like New-town cannot happen here, we do not have that luxury. At the end of the day we must know that we have done everything we could to protect our most innocent. Th is funding will enhance school safety in both school dis-tricts. We will work side by side with our local law en-forcement partners as well as both school districts to meet the needs of school children and staff .

Th is revenue will also provide a compensation adjust-ment for deputy sheriff s. Th ey continue to be the lowest paid law enforcement at both the state and local level. Did you know that deputies make between $10,000 and $50,000 less than juvenile offi cers, troopers and city of-fi cers. Because of state law that requires counties to pay for the jail and housing of prisoners we cannot pay a competitive salary for deputies or jail staff .

Th e County Commission understands the various is-sues facing the Sheriff ’s Offi ce and has off ered their sup-port by allowing this initiative to move forward. Th ey also agree new funding must be obtained in order for the Sheriff ’s Offi ce to provide good service. Th ey will not use this funding to take away funding already in place.

For every $100 you spend in Lewis County this will add a quarter to your cost. With this one quarter you can help keep the jail open, enhance school safety, and remind criminals that law abiding Lewis County resi-dents expect and want good law enforcement to help keep our children and our families safe.

Sincerely,David Parrish, Sheriff Lewis County, Mo

Culver-Stockton has made two changes in appointment for existing faculty members, which take eff ect in the 2013-14 school year.

For over 50 years, Canton Kiwanis Club has sponsored the charter of Boy Scout Troupe 174. Th is year, scouts Remington Jarvis and Braedyn Hausdorf are creating a community walking path for their Eagle Scout project, and Kiwanis is proud to support their work with the pro-ceeds of the Annual Kiwanis Pancake Day on Saturday, April 6 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the United Methodist Church on Washington Street. Whole hog sausage and pancakes, home-made and served in tents on the church lawn by Kiwanians and scouts show the teamwork that both organizations value in growing youth into good citizens who serve the community. Th e path will be in Brose Park (across from South College Hill’s shopping center). Th ere will be a fee for tickets.

Mission Trip to Nicaragua Bronestine named to Missouri Western dean’s list

Master Gardeners to meet

Free Skin and Oral Cancer Screenings Off ered at Blessing

Charlotte Parrish of Lewistown and Kelly Stevenson of Hannibal and traveled to Nicaragua Feb. 23 to March 9 to serve with the Baptist Medical and Dental Mission International team. Th is was Stevenson’s fi rst trip and Charlotte’s fi ft h trip. Parrish was fi rst introduced to this ministry by Dr. Bob Collinge of Edina twenty years ago.Mission trips are usually one week, but they stayed an additional week to help another team.

Charlotte Parrish is involved with the Joy Clown Troop, which is a way to reach children about the joys of Jesus. Mrs. Parrish becomes a clown named Nana Anna. She can be seen in many parades and events all over Lewis County.

Parrish said, “Th e fi rst week we had 3400 and the sec-ond week 1500 seen in the clinics. Each person must attend the evangelistic services with beautiful music and great preaching. Th e youth and children have their own services. Th e clinic include a variety of professionals and services, including nurses, doctors, pharmacy, hair cut-ting, vet services, dental, optical, and distribute food and clothing.”

“Stevenson is an R.N. and went into this trip with some fear and lack of confi dence. Th e tales of medical personnel seeing hundreds of people in a day had her sending out prayer requests for stamina and physical strength. God answered those prayers.” Parrish said. “ Th e fi rst morning of being in the clinic she watched one of the other nurses interview a patient and realized it could be done. Th e people of the village were so pre-cious, the old women hugged and kissed on the cheek. Kelly felt ministered to by them. Th ey shared Jesus with people in the clinic and people prayed to receive HIM in the midst of syringes, needles, pills and bandaids.”

Parrish said, “Th e second week there was a smaller medical team and Kelly was put in charge, since she had three days experience in the previous village. Th e same phenomenon happened with the three new nurses; their confi dence and stamina came upon them almost imme-

Ashley Bronestine of Williamstown Mo. has made the deans list at Missouri Western for the fall of 2012. She is the daughter of Brad and Chris Bronestine of William-stown, Mo.

Th e Salt River Master Gardeners will meet at 6 p.m. April 2, at their demonstration garden at the corner of Main and Bird Streets in Hannibal.Kathy Nicholson will be speaking on “Lasagna Gardening.” If inclem-ent weather, the meeting will be held at Calvary Baptist Church, 4605 W. Ely Rd. in Hannibal. Everyone is invit-ed. Th e Salt River Master Gardeners are a group of Mis-souri Master Gardeners from Marion, Ralls, Monroe, Pike, and Lewis counties.

diately. Kelly led a 12-year old boy to the Lord who came to the clinic alone. He prayed to receive Christ right at the clinic table and left with medicine for his pains and Christ in his heart. What a joy to be a part of that. We could focus on the dirty conditions, bucket baths and outdoor toilets, but the real story is that people came to know Jesus. We got to experience the moving of the Holy Spirit in a remote village in the hills of Nicaragua.”

Th e fi rst week Parrish assisted in children’s church and we had 50 to 250 children, 3-4 times a day. Th ere were 210 decisions to receive Jesus as Savior in children’s church. She said, “Street evangelism team was a new ex-perience where we walked the hills and ministered for over three hours. Th e people were warm and friendly and welcomed us into their homes. It was beautiful to listen to their stories and hear some of them accept Christ.”

Th e second week Parrish was in charge of children’s church and the gift store and handed out clothing. Par-rish said, “Th e village we were to serve in fell thru just days before we arrived. Th e staff was able to fi nd us an-other village. Th en aft er moving into the school at Los Encentros and seeing 99 people on Sunday aft ernoon and evening worship, we were asked to move out of the school (one lady complained). So, aft er evening worship we packed everything up and moved into the homes, church, community center etc. Th ere was about 200 people in the village. We were ready to go again aft er lunch on Monday and stayed until Th ursday noon. Sev-eral of the parents kept their children out of school and let them come to children’s church three or four times a day. On Wednesday morning, I was allowed to go into the school (to see the remaining 24 children) as Nanna Anna the clown. Th ey let me share Jesus, in the school.”

“If you would like for us to come and share with your church or organization, feel free to contact us at the Cal-vary Baptist Church in Hannibal.” Parrish said.

Free skin and oral cancer screenings will be off ered to the public on Wednesday, April 10 from 1 to 5:00 p.m. at the Blessing Cancer Center. Th e screenings will be conducted on the Lower Level of the Blessing Cancer Center, 11th and Oak St., in Quincy, IL. Due to construc-tion, patients should enter through the 11th Street Can-cer Center entrance.

Appointments are required by calling toll free, 877-411-2468, or by going online at blessinghealthsystem.org/signup.

Th e free skin and oral cancer screenings consist of an examination by a health care professional. Th e screening is sponsored by the Blessing Cancer Center along with providers from Blessing Physician Services, Quincy Medical Group and Quincy Family Practice Center.

No biopsy or other invasive procedures will be done during the screening. Minors cannot be screened with-out a parent or guardian present. Materials will also be available about prevention and early detection.

Most skin cancers are caused by too much exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, but some may come from artifi cial sources such as tanning beds. It is impos-sible to avoid sunlight, but there are precautions that can limit one’s exposure to UV rays. Limit direct sun expo-sure during the middle of the day when the UV rays are most intense- usually between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When in the sun, wear clothing and a hat to pro-

tect as much skin as possible. Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher; apply 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours. Be sure that the sunscreen protects against both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays. Wear wrap-around sunglasses that block UV rays. Research has shown that long hours in the sun without eye protection increases the chances of developing eye disease. Avoid tanning beds and sun-lamps.

About 90 percent of people with oral and oropha-ryngeal cancer use tobacco, according to the American Cancer Society. Naturally the risk of developing these cancers increases with the amount smoked or chewed and the duration of the habit. Smokers are six times more likely than nonsmokers to develop these cancers. Tobac-co smoke from cigarettes, cigars, or pipes can cause can-cers anywhere in the oral cavity or oropharynx, as well as causing cancers of the larynx, lungs, esophagus, kidneys, bladder and several other organs. Working in a smoking environment or living with a smoker is also a risk factor. Smokeless tobacco, (chewing tobacco) is associated with cancers of the cheek, gums, and inner surface of the lips. Smokeless tobacco increases the risk of these cancers by about 50 times.

Marilyn Campen named 4-H volunteer award winner

Marilyn Campen of Lewis County was named a 2013 Frank Graham 4-H Vol-unteer Leadership Award winner by the Missouri 4-H Foundation on March 15. Marilyn was recognized for her commit-ment to the University of Missouri Exten-sion 4-H youth development program.

“It is our great pleasure to honor Mari-lyn Campen with the Frank Graham Vol-unteer Leadership award for her dedica-tion to Missouri 4-H,” said Cheryl Reams, executive director of the Missouri 4-H Foundation. “It is volunteers like Marilyn who have made Missouri 4-H the quality experience for young Missourians that it is today, and we are indebted to her for her service.”

Campen has served the youth of Lewis County for 5 years as a volunteer leader and has been a strong parent supporter of the Lewis County 4-H program for over ten years. During the last fi ve years as a 4-H volunteer, Marilyn has served as a Club Leader for two years, 4-H Council Treasurer for four years, and a representa-tive for her club for both 4-H Council and the Lewis County Junior Fair Showboard for fi ve years.

She has also dedicated her time during the Lewis County Fair to serve as Poultry Superintendent for the last three years. During her time as a project leader, Mari-lyn has led many projects ranging from poultry to foods, sewing to scrapbooking and home environment. In addition to

being an active 4-H volunteer and parent, Marilyn is also a member of the Canton FFA Alumni.

Marilyn is always willing to jump in and lend a hand when needed. She spends a great deal of time doing behind the scenes work for events like the 4-H lunch stand and county-wide Christmas party and is content to let her work go un-recognized. Her true goal is to help things run smoothly for the benefi t of the 4-H members. Marilyn Campen is a source of encouragement and motivation to 4-Her’s in her own club and across the county.

Th e Lewis County 4-H Council, along with the Lucky Clover 4-H Club, are proud to have nominated Mari-lyn Campen as the 2013 Frank Graham Leadership Award recipient from Lewis County.

Th e Frank Graham 4-H Volunteer Leadership Award recognizes leaders who work to guide our youth. Th e award is named for Frank Graham, who served as director of MU Extension 4-H Youth Programs from 1958 to 1975. During his tenure of 33 years, Mr. Graham was an avid supporter of volunteer leadership, and still believes that volunteers are the foundation of the 4-H program.

Celebrating 63 years of service to 4-H youth, the Missouri 4-H Foundation was established to secure and manage funds for the state Missouri 4-H youth develop-ment program.

SPORTSWildcat Nine Salvages One Game Last Week

Wildcat Soft ball Wins Th ree of Four

Division I Men’s Basketball All-American nominations

With the Culver-Stockton College baseball team struggling to fi nd off ense, junior pitcher Cyrus Wimberly took matters into his own hands to help the Wildcats snap a four-game losing streak in Heart of America Athletic Conference play.

Wimberly struck out 11 to help the Wildcats post a 1-0 second game victory and earn a split of Saturday’s HAAC twin-bill with Peru State College at Nichols Field. Th e Bobcats captured the opener 4-0 behind a combine fi ve-hitter from starter Marshall Klontz and Danny Borst

Wimberly threw 140 pitches in the game, scattering 11 hits and walking two to earn his third victory and fi rst shut-out of the season. He pitched in and out of trouble the whole game, stranding 14 Peru State baserunners. Th e Bobcats were 0-for-16 with runners in scoring position.

Th e Bobcats put the tying run in scor-ing position with less than two outs in the fi nal three innings only to have Wimberly get out of the jam each time.

Wimberly’s most impressive stance came in the ninth when the Bobcats put the tying run at third with less than two outs and the heart of the order coming to the plate. Derek Voigt singled with one out and moved to third on a wild pitch and a throwing error by catcher Domin-ick Minogue. However, Wimberly got cleanup hitter Randy Santiesteban to ground out to third, and Phil Lial to strike out end the game.

C-SC recorded its only run in the sixth inning when Brock Kartheiser reached on a two-out error when the Bobcat third baseman couldn’t handle his groundball. Kartheiser then advanced to second on an error by the pitcher on a pickoff at-tempt before scoring on Nate Olin’s single over the out-stretched glove of the Peru State shortstop.

Th e Wildcats, who managed just fi ve hits in each game, was led by Olin’s two safeties in the nightcap.

In the opener, it was the Wildcats who were felling the frustration as the hosts went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring po-sition and left 11 runners on base. C-SC was 0-for-9 with runners at third base and less than two outs.

Kartheiser collected two of the Wild-cats’ fi ve hits in the game to lead the of-fense. Kartheiser and Gene Nanney re-corded doubles for the home team.

Pitcher Craig Bastert went the dis-

tance but suff ered the loss to fall to 3-3 on the season. Bastert allowed 10 hits, four earned runs, walked one and struck out fi ve in his seven innings of work.

Earlier in the week, C-SC dropped a doubleheader to MidAmerica Nazarene, falling 3-2 and 2-1 at Nichols Field.

Playing in sub-freezing temperatures, the Wildcats managed to record 10 hits combined in losing the twinbill.

Th e opening game saw the Pioneers score single runs in the fi rst, third and fourth inning. Th e Wildcats countered with a run in the fi rst on a two-out RBI single by Cody Jacobson, and a single tally in the fi ft h on a RBI groundout by Jacob Angelo that scored Danny Carroll, who had doubled to open the inning.

In the nightcap, the Pioneers scored an unearned run in the fi rst inning and another unearned run in the third before letting their pitching take over from there.

Aft er MNU jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the fi rst, the Wildcats answered with an unearned run of their own in the bot-tom half of the inning. Kartheiser walked with two outs and moved to second when the Pioneer centerfi elder dropped a sink-ing line drive hit by Jacobson for an error. Nanney followed with a solid single to right to score Kartheiser and tie the game at 1-1.

MNU scored what turned out to be the winning run in the third inning when Brad Law attempted to go to third on a pitch in the dirt. Minogue’s throw was there in time, but it was high and sailed into left fi eld, allowing Law to score.

Again the Wildcats couldn’t fi nd a timely hit when it needed it. C-SC left two runners on in the fourth, had a runner at second with less than two outs in the fi ft h and a runner at third with one out in the eighth and failed to score each time.

Th ree Wildcat pitchers held the Pio-neers to two hits in the nine inning game. Jeff Baude started and hurled two-plus in-nings before leaving in the third inning aft er giving up the two unearned runs.

Jim Granak and Zach Englebrecht fol-lowed by pitching seven inning of no-run, no-hit ball to keep the Wildcats in the hunt. Granak hurled three scoreless in-nings, walking one and striking out one, while Englebrecht pitched the fi nal four innings, allowing two walks and striking out fi ve.

Trent Brisboe and Minogue led the Wildcat six-hit attack with two hits each. Carroll reached base twice via walks.

Th e Culver-Stockton College soft ball team won three of its four games last week to improve to 6-7 overall this season.

Th e Wildcats swept Benedictine Uni-versity-Springfi eld 7-0 and 8-7 last Friday aft ernoon at the Cotton Bowl.

Sam Bolin picked up two victories in the circle aft er hurling a complete-game shutout in the opener and the fi nal inning of the nightcap. In the opener, Bolin al-lowed fi ve hits, walked two and struck out one.

Off ensively, Rhea Hobson and Emily Orf collected two hits each to lead the Wildcat attack. Orf drove in two runs and Hobson scored twice. Casey Polak drilled a two-run homer in the fi rst inning.

In the nightcap, Megan Harper slapped a solid single through the left side to score Bailey Gengenbacher and Carly Th omas as the Wildcats rallied to defeat the Bull-dogs in extra innings.

Hobson was 3-for-3 with two runs scored to lead the 13-hit attack. Harper and Th ompson were each 2-for-3, while Gengenbacher scored three times.

Earlier in the week, C-SC split a pair

Marshawn Norris, a senior at Culver-Stockton College, was named to the second 2012-13 Division I Men’s Basketball All-American team. Austin Keaton, also from Culver-Stockton, was named as an honorable mention.

of games with Iowa Wesleyan, losing the opener 7-5 before winning the nightcap 2-1 with a walkoff dash from Hobson.

With the game tied 1-1, Hobson led off the seventh inning with a double to left fi eld. Th e Tiger left fi elder missed the cut-off mad for an error, allowing Hobson to go to third, and then she scored when the Tigers threw wild to the plate hoping to prevent Hobson from scoring.

Hobson led the off ense two hits, while Jenny Ward was spectacular in earning her fi rst collegiate victory by scattering fi ve hits, allowing one earned run and striking out two.

In the opener, the Tigers scored four runs in the fi rst inning aft er the Wildcats botched a run down play en route to a 7-5 victory.

C-SC scored fi ve runs on only three base hits but the Wildcats took advan-tage of some sloppy play by the Tigers, who committed four errors to stay in the game. Kim Myers hit her fi rst home run of the day in the fi ft h inning that clipped the IWC lead from 7-3 to 7-5.

“Lewis County Fellowship of Bus Drivers,

Striving for a Better Tomorrow”

As Lewis County C-1 employees, we interact daily with ad-ministration, teachers, staff and students. We feel school board meetings are very important, and make every eff ort to have a representative in attendance each month. We lis-ten to both sides of the issues and feel qualifi ed to address the accomplishments as well as the need for improvements of the Lewis County C-1 School District.According to the Missouri School Board Association’s web-site, schools are facing severe budget cuts. Senate Bill 26 (Kraus) has passed the Senate and is expected to pass the House. Th is will result in the loss of approximately 960 mil-lion educational dollars. Superintendent Jacqueline Ebeling mentioned this at the School Board Meeting on March 11, 2013. President of the Board David Porter responded by saying, “Finances are your job, not mine.”It is the opinion of our members that the biggest threat to our School District is the inability of certain board mem-bers to understand their duties and responsibilities and to take them seriously. Th is has been evident in their inability to make crucial decisions in some areas, and their complete lack of action in others. In the past year, there have been questions raised in regard to the awarding of bid contracts. Th e district has also incurred numerous legal fees by the need to consult an Attorney or have one present at meet-ings.Th erefore, because we believe they will act in the district’s best interests, we endorse the following school board can-didates:

Robert Reed Miller

Terry Faulconer

Jamie Brennan

We would appreciate your vote on Tuesday, April 2nd.

National Public Health Week

Th e Lewis County Health Department has released the following information to inform readers about National Public Health Week and tips to keep safe. Public health is in every corner of our homes. It’s in the safe food in the fridge, the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors affi xed to the ceiling, and the child-proof latches that keep dangerous chemicals out of lit-tle hands. Home is also where we learn healthy behaviors, such as eating right and exercising. Good prevention starts at home.

Th e majority of fi re-related deaths happen at home. In 2010 in the United States, someone died in a fi re every 169 minutes and someone was injured every 30 minutes. About two-thirds of home fi re deaths happened in homes without working smoke alarms.

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among people ages 65 and older. Each year, one out of every three adults ages 65 and older experiences a fall. In 2010, falls resulted in $30 billion in direct medical costs.

Nine out of every 10 childhood poison exposures happens at home, with medi-cations being among the top culprits.

More than half of all swimming pools drowning among children could have been prevented with appropriate fencing that completely separates the pool from the house and yard.

Many more eff orts are needed to help all families and households adequately prepare for natural disasters and other emergencies, such as having a three-day supply of water and a written evacuation plan.

Fewer than 15 percent of adults and 10 percent of adolescents eat the recom-mended amounts of fruits and vegetables each day.

What Public Health Teaches Us- Start small: Smoke alarms can double your chance of surviving a fi re, so install alarms on every fl oor of your home and test that they’re working monthly. While you’re at it, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every fl oor of your home as well.

Help prevent fi res — as well as seri-

ous health problems and chronic diseases — by making your home tobacco- and smoke-free.

Keep potentially dangerous house-hold products, such as cleaning products, cosmetics and prescription medications, locked up and out of children’s reach. Also, never store household chemicals in old food containers or in the same place you keep food items.

Gather your household for a night of emergency preparedness: Make plans for putting together an emergency stockpile kit, create a crisis communication plan, designate an emergency meeting place and hold household emergency drills.

Put this number on your fridge and in your cell phone: 1-800-222-1222. It will automatically connect you to your regional poison control center and oft en life-saving information.

Put up four-sided fencing that’s at least fi ve feet high with self-latching gates around swimming pools to protect chil-dren from injury

Assess your home, or the home of a loved one, for factors that could contrib-ute to a fall, such as poor lighting, uneven fl ooring and clutter.

Stock your kitchen with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and cut down on high-sugar and high-fat items.

Learn about proper food handling and cooking techniques to avoid food-borne illness.

Learn how to properly dispose of un-used medications.

Tell your friends and online followers how you and your household are celebrat-ing National Public Health Week. Keep a journal of the changes you’ve made on your blog or other social media accounts or send a letter to the editor to your local newspaper. Let others know how easy — and fun — it can be to make public health and prevention a part of our lives.

Th ere is much more you can do to en-sure a safe and healthy home for you and your family. To learn more about putting prevention to work at home, visit www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety.

VOTE FOR DAVID PORTERWith Federal & State funding cuts coming to education, one of my top priorities is to keep the classroom sizes small. In my opinion, cutting teachers is not the best way to offset the reduction in government funding. I believe we should encourage and promote parental involvement. The Board of Education is the voice of the public and I have always been an advocate of the time set aside for "public com-ment" at the Board meetings. I feel strongly about maintaining our facilities and that they should be kept in good working order, safe and looking nicely. Technol-ogy is always changing, but every effort should be made to stay current.

If you agree with any of the above, I would appreciate your vote on Apriland so I can serve as a Lewis County C-1 Board of Education member again.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HISTORY

The Presbyterian Church in LaGrange was pictured on a postcard to Vera Mae Gnuse in 1908. The postcard was loaned by her granddaughter, Barbara Warning Bright.

The new offi ce of the Press-News Journal was the former Presbyterian Church in La-Grange.

Rita CoxEditor

rita1@lewispnj.com

Th e Presbyterian Church building in LaGrange has a long history and a bright future with the offi ce of the Press-News Journal to be located there beginning April 1. Customers can enter the offi ce, located in the downstairs of the former church through the door on the south side of the building. Th e downstairs offi ce is handicapped accessible with a parking lot on the west side of the building or on the street.

Th e following information about the history of the church says: In the minutes of the session of June, 1949, the clerk, F.M. Pollock has written an interesting paragraph:

In regard to the Deed and Incorpo-ration, I talked to Mr. Carroll Bozarth, attorney who was very doubtful if the church was ever incorporated. He looked up the records and Charles S. Skinner and wife made a deed to the Trustees of the LaGrange Presbyterian Church on No-vember 10, 1846 of Lots

1&2 in Block 17 of Wright and Shop-shire Addition to the City of LaGrange. It was recorded in April, 1851..

Th e rock basement was probably con-structed in 1848 and used until the upper brick portion was completed. It was prob-ably laid up with bricks made in the im-mediate vicinity as were other buildings dating from this time. Th e upper struc-ture with balcony and bell tower were dedicated in October of 1850. Th e archi-tecture is typical of early 19th century fresco in leaf design constructed around the central light fi xture. Th e fresco was

craft ed by Th omas Pryce, direct ances-tor of the late Janey Sue Pryce. It was later covered, but not destroyed, when 16 foot ceiling was lowered to conserve heat.

Th rough the years the basic structure has changed little. Candles and kerosene gave way to electricity for light, wood and coal to gas for heat. Running water and indoor plumbing were added as they came to the city. Recently John Solter re-placed the water pipes and found old ones almost corroded shut, estimating they must have been there over 50 years.

Th e building has housed many activi-ties. Th e Reverend Whipple conducted seminary classes there. It was also used for concerts, lectures and a singing school for young people “wishing to absorb a fa-miliarity with do, re, mi, etc. One may imagine them singing to the accompani-ment of a pump organ.

St. Peter’s Lutheran Church was or-ganized Feb. 11, 1855 in the Presbyterian church building by 30 German Lutherans who met there until their own building was ready.

It is reported that a school for Negro children was conducted there at one time.

In recent years the LaGrange Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts have used the building. At the present time, continu-ing a century-old tradition, the Catholic youth are holding catechism classes in the basement and a private mini-school meets there also during the school year.

Many members have contributed to improvements in the building. Among them

are Harrison Klusmeier, Findley Pol-lock, Elizabeth, John Kramer, Bruce Solter, John Solter and others whose names are lost to time. Th rough all of the

improvements the building has remained basically the same, simple and dignifi ed, with its bell tower reaching toward the sky. It is recognized as

one of Missouri’s historical buildings.Th e church has been completely reno-

vated and restored, with many historical architectural elements preserved. Th e Press-News Journal offi ce and staff is looking forward to relocating in this his-toric building while at the same time con-tinuing to serve all of Lewis County.
