Highland Wins Battle Of The Belt
About two dozen Can-ton community members met March 1 to discuss the fate of the building at Fourth and Lewis recently known as “The Saturday Store.”
Joe Clark, head of the Canton Community Bet-terment Group said each attendee was to fi ll out a commitment form to the extent they would be will-ing to fi nancially support the building, if it is used as a community center, as some have suggested. Clark estimates for the fi rst year it would cost a minimum of $6,500 for insurance, utilities, and some on hand for mainte-nance and repairs.
The commitment forms will be evaluated tonight (Thursday, March 8) at

Sheriff David Parrish announced Feb. 28 that the Lewis Co. Sheriff’s Offi ce will be joining law en-forcement agencies state wide in two upcoming traf-fi c safety campaigns. The fi rst campaign will be tak-ing place Mar. 16-18 and is aimed at removing drunk and impaired drivers from Missouri’s roads. Deputies from the Lewis Co. Sheriff’s Offi ce will be working overtime enforcing Missouri’s traffi c laws and will be focusing on alcohol related driving offenses as well as hazardous moving violations. Hundreds of motorists a year lose their lives in alcohol related crashes on Missouri’s roadways. Sheriff Parrish reminds motor-ists that those driving under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol will be arrested if traveling in Lewis Co.
The second campaign will run from Mar. 15-31. During this campaign, deputies will be patrolling the roads in Lewis County in an effort to increase safety belt usage in young drivers. Deputies will be working overtime to enforce Missouri’s traffi c laws especially those laws requiring motorists to buckle up. Emphasis will be in the various school zones throughout Lewis Co. Hundreds of lives are lost each year on Missouri roadways and many of these could have been prevent-ed if seat belts had been worn as required by law.
Both of these overtime campaigns are being con-ducted as a result of grants received by the Lewis Co. Sheriff’s Offi ce from the Missouri Department of Transportation and the Missouri Safety Center.

Think you don’t need flood insurance?Add this valuable protection before its too late.Flooding can happen almost anywhere, any time. It might be the result of days of torrential rain. Or quickly melting snow. Or failed flood control structures like levees or dams.
But the majority of property owners’ policies do not include coverage for losses caused by flooding. That’s why American Family Insurance is a participating company in the National Flood Insurance Program. There’s a 30-day wait before a flood insurance policy takes effect, making it important to consider this coverage now.
So call or visit your American Family agent soon to see if you’re eligible to purchase this coverage. The weather won’t wait.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The Canton community is welcoming Father Basil Eruo. He will preside at St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Canton, Queen of Peace in Ewing and Notre Dame in LaGrange.
Father Basil is a native of Nigeria. Born October 26, 1970, in Amaebu village in Ebenato in the eastern part of Nigeria, Fr. Eruo was the sixth child of seven born to Josephat and Virginia Eruonwokeulo amara ka osiri biris. He learned English as an elementary school stu-dent.
Although turmoil was present in Nigeria while he was growing up, he experienced a traditional family atmosphere. His family has lived for generations in a farming area about eight miles from the city of Orlu and about 50 miles from the Niger River., and their day to day activities are similar to rural and small town life in Missouri. Extended families tend to cluster together in their area to help each other and to continue family tra-ditions, religion and discipline.
Basil started in the junior seminary at the age of 12 and spent fi ve years there. He transferred to the major seminary and altogether, he was in formation for 17 years. More about his life in Nigeria can be found at http://www.discoverthepriesthood.org/Articles/FrEruo.html
Fr. Euro was ordained to the Holy Priesthood on Aug. 21, 1999. He came to the United States in June 2007, fi rst serving at St. Patrick parish in Rolla, then moving to St. Peter parish in Jefferson City in June 2009.
He said he is very happy to be in Canton and wants to become a part of the community, He said the weather is cold, but the people are warm, and have been very welcoming. He hopes to provide spiritual guidance and will share with the community some of his past experi-ences, especially some of the folklore and songs of his homeland. He would like to encourage younger mem-bers of the community to attend church and hopes to work with Culver-Stockton students and involve them in the church. He loves children and young people.
Father Euro interests include soccer, tennis, chess and scrabble. He likes physical activities. He also men-tioned he likes fresh food, such as fresh chicken, eggs, and garden produce. Church members have introduced him to several people and events in the area and he looks forward to meeting more people and becoming part of the community.
A native of Nigeria, Father Basil is very happy to be in Canton and is looking forward to being a part of the Lewis
County community

BACKWARD GLANCESFrom the pages of early Lewis County newspapers
Again, some actors and some movie just won Academy Awards, which is abbreviated “Oscars.” We’ve since forgotten who, but it seems like the popular thing is to com-ment on the clothing said stars wore.
With that backdrop, here’s how the commen-tary would go for people in other professions who receive awards. In true Oscars fashion (get it, fashion?), the awards they win are also secondary.
Businessman Burt is walking on the banquet hotel carpet. He is wear-ing stylish khakis and an open collared blue striped polo shirt, and dark brown slip-on shows.
Administrative Assis-tant Ann shows a white chiffon blouse, with a pearl necklace with a short navy blue blazer and knee-length matching pleated skirt, taupe-colored hose and black stiletto heels. A real sharp dresser!
Firefi ghter Frank is walking on to the carpet, which resembles a partial-ly burned fl oor, wearing a full-length yellow turnout coat with neon green re-fl ective tape, and match-ing oversized pants. The outfi t is nicely accented with klutzy black boots with a yellow pinstripe. His chapeau is a solid plastic black regulation helmet, with the clear vi-sor up and his department logo freshly cleaned.
Farmer Edwards is wearing a faded blue pair of Oshkosh overalls, with the legs quaintly adorned with mud (or other dark splotches), which match his thigh-high rubber work boots. On his up-per torso he wears a styl-ish red plaid fl annel shirt, with a Bic pen in his pock-
Other honor ceremonies attire commentary
et and a used pocket spiral notebook.
Mechanic Molly has a gray-oil stained head-to-neck coveralls with a mismatched nametag (Robert), and has indus-trial work boots. A real winner!
Water boy Wally is wearing a red tight fi tting Speedo® swimsuit and a white swim cap, and black slip-on pool shoes.
Utility man Benny is stunning in his off-white company shirt on, and matching company pants, complete with the wire-cutters in a leather pouch on the belt, steel-toed work boots, and his pith-styled slightly scratched regulation-company-issue helmet.
Housewife Harriet is stylish with her hair hanging loosely in her eyes. She has an older green “Hooray” for El-vis” sweatshirt, and mis-matched sweatpants. She is in dirty socks, and old comfortable shoes with the toes showing. On her arm is the dapper young infant anxiously await-ing his feeding, and next to her is the mop waiting for the work to be fi nished and the boiling water on the stove.
While most of these are hard-working occupa-tions, one group is about people paid to pretend. Guess whom.

Captain James E. Wilt, commanding offi cer of Troop B, Macon, an-nounces that over the next several months, Troop B offi cers will be conduct-ing a new traffi c enforce-ment program called “Operation S.T.O.P.” Op-eration S.T.O.P. (Stop, Think, Observe, and Pro-ceed) is aimed at reducing traffi c crashes at inter-sections having a higher rate of traffi c crashes. At many of these inter-sections, serious crashes have occurred as a result of motorists failing to stop at stop signs or fail-ing to yield to other ve-hicles as they enter the intersecting roadway.
Troop B Offi cers To Conduct New Traffi c Enforcement Program
2010 Missouri traffi c crash statistics show that 15.3 percent of all traffi c crashes were a result of drivers failing to yield the right-of-way, and 3.9 per-cent were caused by fail-ure to stop at a stop sign. During these operations, which will utilize a Pa-trol aircraft, troopers will focus their attention to selected intersections with a goal of detecting stop sign violations; fail-to-yield violations, as well as other violations that cause traffi c crashes. These operations will be held randomly depend-ing on weather conditions and the availability of of-fi cers.

Weather Service to add information to storm warnings
National Weather Service said there would still be thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings. The new information tags intend to enhance current warning efforts.
The new information will include tags to say either “radar indicated” or “observed.” Tornado damage tags will include a “signifi cant threat” or a “catastrophic threat.” A thunderstorm warning tag will include “tornado pos-sible.”
The new information is expected to start on warn-ing forecasts after April 2.
Additional information will be forthcoming.
Quincy regional postal sorting to end soon
As expected, the United States Postal Service has agreed to close the Quincy, Illinois processing and dis-tribution center in an effort to save money.
It’s one of 264 such moves that will be occur-ring in the coming weeks in the U.S.
Currently, much of the mail in the 623, 634, and 635 zip code zones, is pro-cessed through the Quincy facility. This means it will instead go to Columbia, Missouri for processing.
According to a press-release from the USPS, the Postal Service has experi-enced a 25 percent decline in First-Class Mail volume since 2006, and receives no tax dollars for its opera-tions, relying instead on the sale of postage, and postal products and services.
“The decision to consol-idate mail processing facil-ities recognizes the urgent need to reduce the size of the national mail process-ing network to eliminate costly underutilized in-frastructure,” said Chief Operating Offi cer Megan Brennan.
Specifi c dates have not been set for the transition. Until a date is announced, residential and business mailers will continue to be served through the current facilities.
In December 2011, the Postal Service imposed a moratorium on closing or consolidating post offi ces and mail processing facili-ties prior to May 15, 2012, to give Congress and the Administration the oppor-tunity to enact an alterna-tive plan.

In the nightcap, the Eagles took advantage of two Wildcat errors in the second inning to score four unearned runs off of Send-ejas.
The Wildcats fi nished the week with a double-header at Lindenwood University-Belleville in Belleville, Ill.
The Lynx had 21 hits in a 15-1 victory in the fi rst game of the day, and then collected 18 hits in a 13-6 defeat of the Wildcats, who have now lost four in row since winning their season-opener on Wednesday.
The Culver-Stockton women’s bas-ketball had its season come to an end in a 75-59 loss to Avila University in the quarterfi nals of the Heart of Amer-ica Athletic Conference Tournament Thursday night in Kansas City, Mo.

The Lady Wildcats never got the lead under double digits the rest of the way and saw their season end with an overall record of 14-17 overall.

Whee doggies.
Obedience class does me in—happy
I’m back home, a book open
at my paws. It’s all about research when
it comes to this Civil War stuff, kind of like playing detective, uncovering bits of information like a sleuth. No not “sloth”—a “sleuth.” Look it up! As you’ll recall we left off with Stonewall, a Jack Russell with plenty of pluck. This week, I’ll tell you about a giant dog, a Newfoundland and the contribution he made at the Battle of Antie-tam, which is a bit tricky to pro-nounce. Sound it out like this: an-tee-tum. That’s right.
Reading up on Antietam, which is in Maryland, I uncovered the story of Brutus, a Newfoundland as tough as Gen. Robert E. Lee, the Confederate leader believed to be one of the greatest gener-als of all time and the commander of the rebel army at Antietam and a whole lot of other locales.
Ol’ Lee was an interesting character, a brilliant wearer of the gray, buttoned-up, every stripe in place, a native Virginian who loved his home state. Up until the war, Lee was an officer in the Union army. But when Virginia seceded, Lee re-signed to fight with the Confederacy. It’s a sure bet Lee was conflicted, but it didn’t hamper his vision as a wise and strategic leader.
At the opposite end of the spectrum was the Union leader at Antietam, who
wasn’t near as quick thinking. Gen. George McClellan was just plain pokey. In fact, after Antietam Presi-dent Lincoln played his “trump card” and told the general, “You’re fired.”
At Antietam, even though McClellan’s army far outnumbered Lee’s, the Union officer twiddled his thumbs and let Lee light off across the Potomac River back to Virginia. In the end, the battle was still considered a Union victory. It stopped Lee’s invasion of the north, but both sides suffered in this bloody battle, the deadliest single day in the military history of the United States.
One who died there was Union Capt. Werner von Bachelle, whose name sounds a bit foreign. Bachelle, a former French officer, belonged to a Wisconsin
brigade with a sterling reputa-tion—the Iron Brigade, volun-teers from that state com-bined with oth-
ers from Indiana and Michigan. These guys
were tough. Alongside the tidal wave of the brigade, 400-men plus, sailed giant Brutus, the beloved sidekick of Bachelle.
Newfoundlands are big, and Brutus tipped the scales at more than 130 pounds. He had the strength and stamina to march long distances and not chicken out when musket ammunition called minie balls headed his way. Brutus had a skewed idea when it came to retrieval. Legend has it he’d try to catch the minie balls in his mouth—not a fetching idea since the cone-shaped chunks of lead would spread out on impact.
That’s why there were so many awful injuries during the Civil War. The minie
balls would shatter bones, resulting in the amputation of arms and legs.
The Captain had to train that “catch and release” habit right out of Brutus’ rep-ertoire and teach him other tricks, like saluting. Now I’ve got shaking hands down pat, but I can’t imagine the contor-tions required to heft my paw up to my head—much less lift a webbed paw, like Newfoundlands have.
Once Brutus pulled off the military sa-lute, his Captain had other tricks to teach him. The pair was inseparable, like many war dog mascots, trusty companions that accompanied their masters to war, but reminded them of home sweet home.
Sadly, too many of these bonds ended tragically. At Antietam, Bachelle gave his life for the Union. Brutus was found dead atop his master’s body, a friend to the very end.

Cardiovascular disease is the number-one killer of women but most women are too busy to think about that fact. However, wom-en should think about it, because what women do each day in part determines their risk for developing cardiovascular disease and suffering its life-threatening consequences. Here are some other facts about women and cardio-vascular disease that are surprising:
One in three women over the age of 20 has some form of cardiovas-cular disease. Heart dis-ease is the third most com-mon cause of death among women ages 25 to 44 years old and two-thirds of
Women and Cardiovascular Diseasewomen who have heart at-tacks never fully recover.
Worldwide, cardiovas-cular disease is the single most common cause of death among women, re-gardless of race and eth-nicity. More women have strokes than men. Accord-ing to the American Stroke Association, each year more than 100,000 women under the age of 65 in the United States will have a stroke.
Smoking is a major risk factor for heart attack in women. High blood pres-sure (hypertension) is also a cause of cardiovascular disease and roughly one third of adults in the Unit-ed States have high blood pressure.
Cardiovascular disease isn’t only about the heart. Women are affected by a range of cardiovascular diseases. Often, cardiovas-cular disease in one part of the body puts a woman at higher risk of cardiovas-cular disease elsewhere in the body. That is, if a person has heart disease, she is also at greater risk of stroke, for example. The best way to fi ght back is to understand how car-diovascular disease forms and how you can control risk factors.

On Feb. 29, Culver-Stockton College Associ-ate Professor of History Scott Giltner travelled to the Western Illinois Cor-rectional Facility in Mt. Sterling, Ill., to deliver a presentation on African American history to in-mates as part of a lecture series for Black History Month. The lecture series was created by William Twaddell, chaplain at the prison. “We have 2100 inmates in the facility and
C-SC professor presenter for Black History Month Speaker Series
lecturers can sometimes speak to as many as 50 inmates.” said Twaddell. “We are more interested in a factual/educational ap-proach to Black History.”
Dr. Giltner’s presenta-tion, entitled Who Freed the Slaves?, re-assessed the typical Abraham Lin-coln-centered story of Emancipation and focused on slaves themselves as the engines of their own liberation. For Giltner, the chance to visit a correc-tional facility and speak to inmates was an important opportunity that he could not pass. “I was told that many of the inmates are highly engaged with histo-ry and really benefi t from such presentations,” Gilt-ner noted. “I was defi nite-ly not disappointed. The turnout was not as big as expected since the event

overlapped with daily rec-reation yard time on a nice afternoon, but the audi-ence was really engaging. They asked great question and offered keen observa-tions on the subject. It was an amazing experience that I hope to be able to repeat someday.”
