Two juveniles were back in custody of juvenile au-thorities Sunday after a four-county spree in two states, involving at least four stolen cars.

Lewis County Deputy Sheriff Ben Buening said the youth apparently walked away from a Kirksville treat-


[email protected]

ment program, and apparent-ly stole a vehicle in Kirks-ville. Buening said Monday law enforcement was still tracking the route of the two.

It is known a second ve-hicle was stolen from Baring and recovered at the Lewis County Rural Electric Co-op in Lewistown. The pair then apparently stole a third vehicle at the four-way stop in Lewistown, drove it to Quincy, and were involved

in a traffi c crash. A 15-year old was soon caught by Ad-ams County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Buening said a 16-year old got away from law enforce-ment and stole a fourth vehi-cle and apparently brought it back to the Sever Lake area, where he was taken into cus-tody by the Knox County Sheriff’s Offi ce. He was apparently taken by Knox County Ambulance for treat-ment of injuries from the ac-

cident and then taken to the Juvenile Justice Center in Kirksville.

Buening said although he couldn’t confi rm any con-nection the same party, a fi fth car had evidence of be-ing tampered in LaBelle, but was not stolen.

One youth reportedly is from Knox County, and one is from Marion County.

Two Lewistown residents were hurt in an early morning crash Jan. 31.

Jennifer M. Ericson, 27 and Darin W. Smith, 28, both of Lewistown, were taken to Blessing Hospital by Lewis County ambulance with minor and moderate injuries respectively.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Ericson swerved her 2007 Hyun-dai to miss a deer, overcorrected and went off the left side of the road and landed in a creek bed. The accident occurred at 4 a.m. on Route C, two miles west of Route P.

Both occupants wore seat belts.The car was totaled.Also assisting the Patrol were Rob-

erts Garage, and Lewis County Fire and Rescue.

and at Lewistown, one bed is in a training room/kitchen.

Klingele said the Lew-istown base would be up-graded shortly after the Canton base is fi nished.

The project is being funded from a 2010 sales tax approved by Lewis County voters, and cost-ing about $30,000. Other options considered by the district were building an addition on to the Canton

base, bringing a modu-lar home to house crews, and relocating at the for-mer Arki-Tec building. The other options ranged in price from $70,000 to more than $150,000.

The District eliminated one back-up ambulance, leaving one main unit at each Canton and Lewis-town bases, and one back-up rig at Lewistown.

During the construc-tion, the Canton crews

are stationed at the Lewis County Nursing home,with the ambulance parked in the ambulance-loading area.

“We appreciate Lewis County Nursing Home helping us,” Klingele said.

Construction is set totake about one month, andit started early becauseof favorable late January weather.

Farr Construction is thecontractor for the project.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like to remind the public that driver examination stations throughout the state will be closed in observance of the following holidays:

OATS visits Jefferson City

Photo by Rita Cox

OATS bus riders from Lewis and Knox County had the opportunity to travel to Jefferson City on Feb. 1 to show their sup-port of OATS and talk to their congressmen and ex-press their feelings about how the OATS system is essential and depended on by many people in Mis-souri. The group met with Senator Brian Munzlinger and Rep. Craig Redmon.

Sponsored by the Mis-souri Public Transporta-tion Association in co-operation with Citizens for Modern Transit, the event is designed to allow pro-viders and users of public transit to come together to meet with their legislators. For several years, large numbers of OATS Bus riders and volunteers at-tended Transportation Day in Jefferson City.

For the past two years, only OATS staff and a few volunteers attended, and the legislators would come to their county to speak with them. This year riders again had the op-portunity to participate in large numbers and com-municate what OATS means to them and how rural transportation is es-sential for residents in northeast Missouri. OATS provided transportation to the capital for their riders from all over Missouri.The mission of OATS, Inc. is to provide reliable transportation for trans-

portation disadvantaged Missourians so they can live independently in their own communities.

Lewis County residents who traveled by OATS bus to Jefferson City in-cluded Patsy Geery, Mary Edmonston, Marie Scog-gin, LouAnn Barnes, Mary Kay Meyers, Mabel Cain, Jeanette Buragas, Alva Farr, and Edith Schmuck. Press-News Journal re-porter, Rita Cox, was in-vited along to report on the activities.

Many people use the transportation every week. Traveling on the bus is also a social event, riders share experiences and inquire about friends, family and neighbors. The riders have fun and talk and enjoy be-ing around other people. The pleasant trips usually include an outing to a res-taurant. In many circum-stances, some people have no one they can call to help them get somewhere and they don’t want to be a burden to their friends and family, so they rely on this valuable source to get them to places they have to go.

Norman Adams drove the bus for Lewis County and Frances Adams drove the group from Knox County. The husband and wife team have driven OATS Buses since 1990. The buses are handicap accessible and the drivers are always there to help them on and off the ve-hicle. Riders from several counties, including Lewis

and Knox, all commented about the people who drive their buses. They said the drivers are always very courteous and helpful. The drivers seem to enjoy their jobs and being around peo-ple. All the riders felt that they were in capable hands with the safe drivers who are also their friends.

The Lewis County group stopped at Kingdom City for a quick break-fast and had the pleasure of talking to the Lewis County Commissioners, Fid Murphy, Jesse Roberts and John Campen, who had made a stop in King-dom City, on their way to Commissioners training in Jefferson City.

Traveling across the Missouri River, riders could see the Capitol build-ing with its dome shining brightly against the sky. The bus pulled up to the front of the Capitol and were met by OATS rep-resentative, Sheree Webb from the Shelbina offi ce. Walking inside, they were greeted by Paula Roush of OATS, who presented each member with a support button that said- Transit- Some of us use it- All of us need it. The group was told where and when they could meet with the legis-lators. Many of the riders talked with other OATS members from across the state.

The Lewis County rid-ers talked to Rep. Red-mon and Sen. Munzlinger about how the OATS bus enables them to be inde-

pendent and stay in their own homes. The system provides transportation to doctor and other ap-pointments, shopping for groceries and household items, hair care appoint-ments and employment.

Rep. Redmon said it was important to hear from the Lewis County OATS members, who rely on the OATS system. Red-mon greeted the Lewis and Knox County residents. He said he understands the importance of rural trans-portation and knows how important it is to them, and is well aware that the ser-vice allows people to re-main independent and stay in their own homes. While this service does cost the state money, it saves money in the long run by allowing seniors to live at home longer. In a press re-

lease Rep. Redmon said he agrees with OATS and will oppose any funding cuts for this vital service. Redmon welcomed the Lewis County group into his offi ce to talk about OATS.

Senator Munzlinger met with several groups and said he is also happy to see his constituents come to the Capitol. He said he very familiar with the OATS bus and the valuable services they pro-vide. He said realizes how important the services are to the people in Northeast Missouri and continues to support their efforts. Mun-zlinger said it is always great to see his friends and fellow Lewis County resi-dents come to the capitol. He enjoys visiting with his constituents and listening to their comments.

Founded in 1971 by a group of seniors who saw a need for transportation, especially in rural areas, OATS has grown to be one of the largest and most unique systems of its kind in the country. Besides se-niors, OATS now serves a wide variety of clientele, and for some provides transportation to and from work. As a not-for-profi t public transportation sys-tem, OATS buses traveled 15,418,331 miles in 2011 to provide service to 87 counties in the Show-Me State.

The group had time to look around and appreciate the fast paced work envi-ronment while also experi-encing the sense of history.

The offi cial homeless count in Lewis County is four; from a count with assistance form NECAC (Northeast Community Action Corporation).

Judy Eaton, Lewis and Ralls County NECAC Service coordinator only knew of three the day of the winter count (Jan. 25; there is also one in July) and has since learned of another one. This includes two individuals and one family of two.

Last year, no home-less were reported. Eaton thinks this year’s number is deceptively low.

“That’s four people I know of. I believe there are actually upwards of

a dozen people in Lewis County,” Eaton said.

“People don’t think that there are homeless here, because they don’t see cardboard boxes (as shel-ters). But we have people that have to keep mov-ing.”

Eaton said the Lewis County homeless may have to stay with a family member or friend when utilities are shut off, and not wanting to wear out a welcome, move to another location after a few days. Sometimes, they have their possessions - includ-ing clothes, shoes, and personal items in their car.

In winter, rarely do Lewis County’s homeless live in cars, because of the cold weather. But Eaton said, it’s not unheard of in

summer, for, say, a mother and child to live in a car.

If someone has to leave his or her home because of a job loss, or utility shut-off, it can be a daunting task to get re-established in another area.

“You have to have a water deposit, one month’s rent, and one month’s rent deposit. That’s $1,000 to $1,200just to get started as a renter, and you may not have the money to buy anything,” Eaton said.

Also, some landlords are not receptive to extra people living in an apart-ment or house, even if it is a stay of just a few days.

Eaton said NECAC is stymied in how much it can help.

“I usually have no way to pay utility deposits. We

have some emergencyrental assistance and myLewis County donationsgot what families need.We have some heating as-sistance. I try to make the money go as far as pos-sible,” she said.

Eaton has no idea how accurate the count may be.

“I can only get the ones I know about fi lling out papers. I do not have the staff or ability to go door-to-door,” Eaton sad.

Sometimes, homelessare in homes of familymembers.

“You might have three or four generations in onehouse, not necessarily be-cause they want to, but be-cause they have to. Theypool their fi nances to pay the utilities and rent.”

Early work has begun on the move to bring an elevator for Ursa Farmer’s Co-op to Canton.

Project Manager Jim Upchurch, who has over-seen the securing of nec-essary permits, said that phase is completed. Now, brush and trees are begin-ning to be cleared in the south part of Canton, be-hind Show Me Signs off Elm Street.

Upchurch said the proj-ect has been contracted out to four fi rms, and some of the construction is underway, but will be “weather-sensitive.”

The effort will include preparing an existing river dock to handle barge load-ing, and starting to make three dump pits for the grain hauling trucks.

The dump pits will be dug by a series of small precision blasting that won’t break the sound barrier, and will not com-promise the integrity of the nearby Canton levee.

“Our goal is not to have farmers have to wait long to dump their grain. If all goes well, we’re thinking four to fi ve minutes from the trucks weighing in, to dumping the grain, to weighing out,” Upchurch said.

“The harvest is so-phisticated and effi cient. What’s not effi cient is marketing. Northeast Mis-souri farms say they have to wait longer for the ferry and the line at Meyer, than it takes them to get the grain out of the fi eld.

“It’s unusual to build an elevator. This will be an automated, computer controlled sophisticated

Ursa Farmer’s Co-op moves from permit to early construction stage

system.”Upchurch said there

would be three grain-dump pits, and separate weigh-in and weigh out scales. There will be a grain dryer and a dust col-lector system. A 1,100 foot conveyor will take the grain from bins across the wetlands and the levee to the barge dock. Plans call for having three barges at the dock – one loading, one to be loaded and an area where loaded barges can be retrieved.

“First we’ll build a maintenance and seed building. They will sell seed.” Upchurch said.

Upchurch said Bob and Steve Ayers of Ayers Oil Company sold a small portion of the land for the facility.

“It has been good to work with the Ayers, That was really critical to having this facility,” Up-church said.

The Ursa Farmers Co-op will take corn, beans, and non genetic modifi ed corn at the Canton facil-ity, and there will eventu-ally be two to three large capacity bins constructed. There are currently 240 northeast Missouri farm-ers who are members of the Co-op, and now bring some four million bushels

of grain to the UFC eleva-tor in Meyer, Ill. Upchurch and UFC offi cials think this could potentiallygrow to six million bush-els when completed.

Upchurch hopes UFC can be ready to buy grainin the fall, but admits thatwill be a diffi cult time frame to meet.

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we return to regularly scheduled politi-cal action: The Republi-cans just gathered for their 914th debate this political season, even though the campaign season is just beginning. Meanwhile, the Democrats haven’t de-cided if they’ll have any debates, unless asked to join a Republican debate.

And in fi nicky Ameri-ca, the leader has changed each week One week it was Michele Bachmann, one week it was Herman “9-9-9” Cain. One week it’s Ron Paul, one week it’s Newt Gingrich, one week it’s Rick Santorum, one week it’s Mitt Rom-ney, one week it’s Abra-ham Lincoln, one week it’s Elmer Fudd.

This is what we’ve learned from the media, who gives us the debate highlights: Rick Perry had a brief memory lapse, and he quickly became a has been. Herman Cain ap-parently had trouble con-necting with women, un-less they were paid off. Michelle Bachmann had trouble breaking into the men’s club of candidates. Rick Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman had trouble re-minding potential voters and cash-givers they, too, were candidates.

Also we learned San-torum’s conservative views aren’t near as in-teresting as party bicker-ing; we learned top name Republicans really don’t

State Sen. Brian Mun-zlinger, R-Williamstown (Chairman of the Sen-ate Agriculture, Food Production and Outdoor Resources Committee), today issued a statement relating to the appoint-ment of James T. Blair to the Missouri Department of Conservation Commis-sion.

“I met with James sev-eral times and found him to be conscientious of is-sues that face both conser-vationist and landowners. The Conservation Com-mission is an important board. There are very few commissions that make decisions that relate to as many people, as many budget dollars and as much cash assets as the Conservation Commis-sion.

I have concerns about the appointment process and the constitutional lim-

Allie Bohon Price celebrated her 100th birth-day at a celebration held at the Lutheran Parrish Hall in LaGrange on Feb. 11, 1972. Many residents and friends attended the party. Celebration tickets were $2.50. Mrs. Pryce received many birthday cards and greetings including those from President Nixon and wife, Pat and Missouri Governor and Mrs. Warren Hearnes. Esther Waggoner Begemann, who baked the enormous birth-day cake, recalled “that poor little old lady was just worn out and wanted to go home” after her party. Born in LaGrange Feb. 11, 1872, the daughter of James T. Bohon and Martha Jane Galbraith Bohon. She married Harold C. Pryce, 1897 and was the mother of long time a judge in the St. Louis and Kirks-ville areas. Ironically three of Mrs. Pryce’s neighbors would almost reach the century mark. Ida Martin (1874-1974) and Magda-lene Heather (1909-2009) would both live to be be 99 and a half years old and Mildred Solter Dickerson, 98 years (1909-2007). Mrs. Pryce’s step-niece Helen Bozarth Haerer would also live to celebrate her 100th birth-day in August 2008. Mrs. Pryce passed away in Dec. 1972 at her home in LaGrange, where she had lived since 1920.

like Newt, and Romney is really rich, and has off-shore fi nancial holdings and apparently those who can make a fuss of it don’t know how to or don’t care to.

Since they’ve had so many debates, and have been able to address all of the 130 major issues, and take nearly every side of each debate issue, there are still a few measure left to determine the best can-didate.

These measures include candidates playing “rock-paper-scissors,” compar-ing how they are at pick-ing NCAA fi nal four teams for the last three years; see who can change a tire the fastest, see which can sing the National Anthem the best (and most sincere), put them on an episode of “Fear Factor,” “Whose left standing,” or CSI, or have an old-fashioned goat-throwing contest.

Once one candidate is chosen, we can start again bringing in the Democrat, if the Demo-crats can ever decide their candidate.

Munzlinger makes statement on appointment of Blair

itations of representation on the commission. My concerns at times through-out this process were por-trayed to be against Blair and that is not the case.

My concerns through-out this process have been for my constituents and those Missouri citizens who are proud of the gains we have made in conser-vation but are frustrated with the lack of communi-cation, accountability, and personal interaction with current commissioners. I look forward to working with Jim on conservation commission issues such as programs, transparency and accountability.”

Blair’s appointment continues, as he was ap-pointed during the inter-im, and the term is for six years. Blair and his fam-ily reside in the St. Louis area.

Shake my paw—

pleased to meet your acquaintance.

The name’s Charles

Tyler Bundebar, but you can call me Chuck.

My pal Walt and I share a rambling two-story in a riverside Missouri town, a house with a wide front porch, great for tail thumpin’ and enjoying tall glasses of lemonade.

Just lately, the master and I’ve been out there a lot, Walt reading and recollect-ing facts in a journal he’s keeping on the Civil War. Walt’s a true-blue reenactor, outfitted like a Union soldier, complete with a Springfield rifle, flat-topped cap with a badge, and me by his side, a black and white Border Collie, which is entirely fitting because Missouri was a Border state.

I’ll fill you in about that Border state business later, along with other tidbits I’ve picked up visiting battle sites with Walt and meeting folks who reen- act Civil War life. They

make history come alive, which is what I hope to do

for you.

So gather round the campfire, share a bite of Johnny Cake and

listen up, cause you’re about to hear some stuff

that’s doggone extraordinary—tales about man’s best friend during the Civil War, canine mascots, fetching hounds that astound.

The stories I’m about to relate are brimming with turncoats and heroes, mayhem and miracles, plenty of rowdy

excitement, and not one whit of sappy ro-mance. Let’s kick the story off right, and if I fail to deliver, you can cut my rations down to Pekingese portions.

The Civil War (1861-1865) was a four-year tragedy, a dog-eat-dog war that divided our country and forced neighbor to fight against neighbor. It began for a number of reasons, one of which con-cerned slavery. Some states thought it fit-ting to own slaves while others believed the practice should be “abolished,” which is a fancy way of saying “va-moosed,” and doesn’t refer to a moose away at Scout camp or a mouse in the past-present tense twice removed. Ruff!

Initially, the pro-slavery states acted like a bunch of kids in a scrap. They thumbed their noses at the Union and seceded, broke away to establish a new country, the Confederate States of America. This

wasn’t something our just-elected Presi-dent, Abraham Lincoln, took kindly to.

Honest Abe felt this was kind of rebel-lious of the South—and that’s how I remember the Rebels made up the Confederacy. The rest of the states were “unified,” which means they were all chummy with each other. These states stayed in the United States of America as one Union.

Trust you now have a better understand-ing of the primary reason for the war—and can identify the two sides that did battle. With that we’ll set our story aside for a bit. Enough yapping, I need a quick bite to sustain life, and a nap next to Walt’s creaky rocker.

Hope you’ll tune in for the next chapter. You’re sure to lap up the tale passed down through the years by the family of Sergeant Dick, a mascot of the St. Louis Grays. That pooch weathered quite a time in St. Louis in 1861, just a month after the first cannons fired on Fort Sum-ter in South Carolina.

Lots of people have heard about Camp Jackson, in St. Louis, but not many real-ize its importance. The incident deter-mined that St. Louis, though in the slave state of Missouri, would remain loyal to the Union and continue to fly Old Glory.

Mr. and Mrs James K Hawkins of Canton and formerly of LaGrange, will be married 75 years on June 18, 1937.

Mr. Hawkins was from the Monticello area and had moved to Peoria look-ing for work in the late 1930s. On his fi rst night in Peoria, James K. and his friend, who were both living at a boarding house, asked the landlady about dances or things to do. She suggested a place that held ballroom dances, The Ingleterra, and said it was a nice place to meet peo-ple, so they decided to go.

Eloise is from Peo-ria and had a boyfriend, whose father owned the ballroom. She and her boyfriend would go to the dance, but her boyfriend would have to work in the back offi ce for his father, and would then join her later in the evening on the dance fl oor. The ballroom was a popular place, with live music from some of the great big bands of the era.

On this particular night, she brought her cousin along with her, and they were dancing together while her boyfriend was working. She said they had just fi nished dancing, and went to sit down, when James K. and his friend came over and asked them to dance. So they danced

How We Met: Valentine Stories Of TogethernessTo celebrate Valentine’s Day, two area couples share the memories of how they met. Mr. and Mrs. James Hawkins will be

together until her boy-friend got off work. James K. told her that he would like to see her again. She said she thought that he seemed pretty nice and she wanted to see him again also. That led to going together for about a year and then getting married in the Methodist Church Parsonage in Peoria. Mr. Hawkins had found work in the construction fi eld, then at Caterpillar.

One of the couple’s fi rst cars was a red convert-ible, in which, James K. received a ticket for run-ning a stop sign on his way to show his bride and their fi rst son the new car. He pled guilty, explained to the judge that he just became a father, but the judge fi nes him $2.50 any-way. He brought Eloise and their fi rst baby home from the hospital in that vehicle.

The couple stayed in Peoria until Mr. Hawkin’s mother had health issues and wanted him to come back to Missouri, so they moved back to the area. Mr. Hawkins worked at Gardner’s in Quincy for 30 years. Mrs. Hawkins was employed at Don’s Food Store in LaGrange for 13 years and worked at the Press-News Journal for six years.

The couple has always been active and involved in various clubs and orga-nizations throughout their years, and their devotion to each other is always evident. They currently reside in Canton Senior

Housing. They have three children, Jim, Terry and Deb. They are excited about their son, Terry, who is planning to move

back to Canton soon, after living in Thailand for sev-eral years.

When asked what is their advice for a long

lasting marriage, Mrs. Hawkins said “It’s a lot of give and take.” Mr. Hawkins said to “ask her

for the advice”, which is probably really their se-cret to almost 75 years of marriage.

weeks when one day, he noticed a woman standing in formation. Turning to one of his friends, Nathan remarked, “I’m gonna marry that woman.”

The friend laughed it off, taking it as a simple joke, but from that day forward, Nathan had set his mind upon one thing: marrying the woman from the formation. At the end of June, Nathan fi nally got his chance.

Deborah had decided to go out dancing with friends and Nathan decided to do the same, unknow-ing that Deborah had chosen the same location as he had. After buying drinks for her and her friends, Nathan at last built up the courage to ask Deborah to dance. “I won’t dance unless you can get the band to play a Randy Travis song,” she replied.

After speaking to the band, a song struck up, and the two began to dance. After fi ve days spent togeth-er, Nathan popped the question. They were married and sixteen days after their marriage, Nathan was shipped to Germany for Heavy Wheel Repair. Debo-rah only saw her husband twice that year before he was discharged in July of 1992.

As a surprise, Nathan asked Deborah to marry him again on the date of their tenth anniversary. Deborah and Nathan believe that you must stand strong together to make a relationship last- be will-ing to give one hundred percent every day and al-ways support each other.

The association is hosting a Cattlemen’s Banquet on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012 at the American Legion building in Palmyra. There is a fee.

The evening will begin with a social hour and trade show at 5:00 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. In addition to a great meal, a silent auction will be open throughout the evening and a live auction will take place after dinner. Twenty-one recipients of the 2012 Lewis and Marion County Cattlemen’s Association scholarships will also be honored during the banquet. Another highlight of the event will be an appearance by University of Missouri mascot, Truman the Tiger.

Money raised at the banquet will help fund scholarships

for local students with an interest in agriculture. Students may apply for the local scholarships by completing an application for the Missouri’s Cattlemen Foundation (MCF) scholarship program. Scholarships totaling $21,000 will be awarded to local students for the 2012 academic year. The local scholarships offered by Lewis and Marion County Cattlemen are in addition to twenty scholarships awarded statewide by MCF. Applications for next year’s scholarships will be available in June from county cattlemen’s associations, extension offi ces, and FFA advisors.

Canton Board of Alderman make decision on bicycle safety

At the January Board of Alderman meeting, the City of Canton passed Ordinance No 695-C, which states that any person riding a motorized bicycle under the age of 18 shall wear protective headgear at all times the vehicle is in motion. Protective headgear must meet the standards set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission for bicycle helmets.

In the City of Canton, a person operating a motorcycle or a motorized bicycle shall ride only upon the permanent and regular seat, and such operator shall not carry any other person nor shall any other person ride on the vehicle unless it is designed to carry more than one person, in which event a passenger may only ride upon the permanent and regular seat if designed for two persons.

Any motorized bicycle designed to carry more than one person must be equipped with a passenger seat and footrests for the passenger.

This is just a summary of the ordinance. For more information, the complete ordinance No 695-C is available at Canton City Hall.

The Culver-Stockton College men’s basketball team turned in its best scoring fi rst half of the season Saturday afternoon against Peru State, but the Wildcats followed that with nearly its worst scor-ing second half in a 73-68 loss to the Bobcats in Heart of America Athletic Conference action..

However, the second half was a different story

After playing arguably its worst half of the season in the fi rst 20 minutes of its game with Peru State College on Saturday, the Culver-Stockton College women’s team rebounded with perhaps its best half after the break to defeat the host Bobcats 63-58 in Peru, Neb.
