Enbridge, a crude oil transportation company, has aimed to build a 600 mile long oil pipe which will intersect with Lewis County. Although the company is currently in the process of applying for land permits and discussions with property owners, if everything goes as planned, the pipeline will go through the lower east corner of Lewis Co. near Maywood and Taylor. “It’s usually a two or three year process, even before the fi rst shovel hits the soil,” said Lorraine Little, Sr. Manager, US Public Affairs.
The project is called the Flanagan South project. The current pipeline station (called Flanagan) is located in Pontiac, Ill. There is already a pipeline in place called the Spearhead pipeline which runs from the station in Pontiac to Cushing, Okla. “At the moment, our Spearhead pipeline is at full capacity which means that it is transporting 115,000 barrels per day. The new line will allow us to transport up to 600,000 more barrels per day,” said Little.
The oil that is being
Company Aims To Build Pipeline Through Lewis Countyshipped through the Spearhead pipeline comes from Western Canada and also from the Bakken Oil Formation in North Dakota. “The people in North Dakota have tapped into a huge source. Every time they drill a hole they’re coming up with a lot of oil. The problem is that they are constrained by transportation,” Little informed.
The pipeline will be made of X70 carbon steel and will be at least 1/2 inch in thickness. Thickness will vary depending on the location of the pipe. As a protection, it will also be covered in a green rust-inhibitor. “The pipeline has to comply with lots of regulations from Federal to Homeland Security,” said Denise Hamsher, Project Manager.
Once the pipeline is in place, there are stations set up at intervals to monitor and fi x any issues that might come up with the pipe. “DOT requires an inspection every fi ve years. We actually do inspections every three years to insure the safety of the pipeline,” Don Verdun, explained. Verdun is responsible for operating and maintaining the pipeline. “The usual problems we run into are loss of communication, little abnormalities, etc. Occasionally there will be instances where we
have corrosion and have to move the pipe or even cut a piece out.” Verdun also covers the security of the project of which he explained follows several national standards from multiple federal agencies.
The company also has plans to assist in whatever environmental damages that may occur during the process of construction. “We have a sort of motto. If we tear down a forest to put our pipeline down, we go plant the same amount of trees somewhere else. If we disturb a wetland, we try to reclaim another wetland. There have even been instances where our digging has created habitats for animals and insects,” Hamsher described.

A rural Canton woman is liv-ing her dream hosting people at her family’s Son Valley Youth Ranch.
“I always wanted to have a ranch, while I was selling Herbal Life products. I especially want-ed to help people with special needs,” said Dona Stansberry. “Through the years I put it on the backside.”
At age 48 she and her husband Jeff found property in Clark County, but carrying a rural Can-ton address where they could raise their horses.
“I didn’t know what I would do with this, but God was al-ready putting it in place. My daughters said it would have to be with horses or something,” Mrs. Stansberry said.
A Bruce Wilkinson book about living out dreams gave her the courage to go ahead.
On a Focus on the Family ra-dio broadcast, she heard about Crystal Peak Youth Ranch in Colorado. As she pulled into the parking lot of the Hy-Vee store in Keokuk, she cried and listened.
“It was exactly what I wanted to do,” she said.
In 2010, she went to a clinic at Crystal Peak to learn how to run such a ranch as a non-profi t.
“We adopted neglected horses and those horses that needed a home. I have eight horses now,” Stansberry said.
Son Valley Youth Ranch was a name concocted by the family once during a sunset tour of the farm. Jeff suggested spelling sun “SON” to refl ect the connotation of Jesus being the son of God.
In the spring of 2011, Son Val-ley Youth Ranch opened, and in the fi rst year, 100 children signed the guest register. An all-girl camp out drew 22 girls ages 9-12.
Most of those attending the ranch activities so far are girls, but boys and adults are welcome.
“My goal is to plant a seed in their heart to keep them off the streets. That’s where God is leading me – to get the youth out here and share Jesus with them.,” Stansberry said.
Horses draw youth to ranch activitiesBY DAN STEINBECK
Those attending the ranch activities pick out a horse. Stansberry coaches them about safety rules, brushing the horse, getting to know the horse, and teaching them to saddle it.
“I get the horse ready to ride and lead it around the arena. I teach them how to hold the bri-dle as I lead them,”Stansberry said.
There are other lessons giv-en, should any of the youth de-sire to own their own horse.
“They have to scoop poop,” she said.
For those too fearful of riding horses – her daughter Mandy included – there are crafts to do. Mandy helps en-tertain the non-riders.
The ranch is open from 4-7 Mondays through Thursdays, with Monday nights reserved for “Youth for Truth” teen-issues bible study. Weekends are used for fundraising. Some youth have become Christians attending the Bible study.
“I have a lot of faith and hope that it (the funds) will come in every month,” Stans-berry said. The costs include food, nutrition, ferrier ser-vices, and other horse-raising related costs.
“Jeff helps by working. I quit working to do this and God increased his pay miracu-lously,” Stansberry said.
There is no charge for the ranch activities, but donations are welcome.
“The biggest joy to me is when kids want to come back and bring their friends. This is like a dream come true,” Stansberry said.
A seven-person board over-sees the ranch.
Son Valley is located off Route H in Clark County, north of Canton on U.S. 61, and blacktop to ranch signs, then to a gravel road.

Driver Exam Offi ces Closed On Holidays
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds the public that

Maywood man escapes crash that injures passenger
A Maywood man was unhurt, but his passen-ger had apparently minor injuries in a one-car ac-cident in Marion County Friday at 12:30 a.m.
The injured man, Ryan E. Nugent, 28 of Mendon, Ill., was taken to Hannibal Regional Medical Center with minor injuries.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Nu-gent was a passenger in a 2003 Hyundai, driven south by Jordan S. Redg-er, 22, of Maywood. The Patrol said Redger’s car went off the road, struck a tree and overturned on County Road 337 three miles east of Palmyra.
There was extensive damage to the car.
Both people wore seat belts.
The photos above display the girls from Son Valley Youth Ranch doing many of the activities at the ranch such as leading the horses on a bridle, corralling them into a pen and shovelling horse manure.

auction was April 25.Clark was told a lone
bidder from Maryland, who was bidding in the $20,000 range had changed her mind. THE CCBG was seeking $50,000, but Clark said the group might be willing to settle for less.
Clark said the next step is “two-fold.” First, the broker will go back to con-tact several area parties that initially expressed an interest in the building, and secondly, the CCBG itself is pursuing possible local
buyers.The two-story building
was home in recent years to the Saturday Store, a clothing and general mer-chandise store from local vendors. But the building was the long-time Canton Public Library building.
Clark said in recent years, there has been ex-tensive remodeling of the building.
The building was given by former Culver-Stockton College President Dr. Wil-liam Fox and his wife Lynn
to the CCBG after they left town. Previous efforts to raise at least $6,500 in lo-cal private funds to use the building for a community center, were also unsuc-cessful.
“We’ll have our month-ly meeting May 10 at 5:30 p.m. at the Lewis County Historical Society, and no doubt it (the Saturday Store Building) will be on the agenda again,” Clark said. “Anyone wanting to turn it into a community center needs to step forward.”
Garret Spurgeon con-tinued his winning ways recently at the National Jr. Olympics Rifl e and Pistol Championships, held in Colorado Springs, CO April 19 thru 25. On the fi rst day of Air Rifl e competition, Spurgeon equaled a personal best of 591/600. On day two, Spurgeon went into the 10 shot fi nal in second place and fi nished one and half points out of fi rst place to bring home the silver med-al. Along with the silver medal comes an appoint-ment to the US National Jr. Team which allows Spurgeon to have Olympic coaching, supplies, and foreign matches. Spur-geon’s next competition will be the USA Shooting Nationals and Small bore Olympic Qualifi er in June.
Pictured are Gar-rett Spurgeon (LEFT) with his silver medal, and gold medalist Tyler Rico (RIGHT) of Arizona. Spurgeon obtained an appointment to the na-tional team by placing second in a major shoot-ing competition, such as the Junior Olympics, or the USA Rifl e and Pis-tol National Champion-ships.
There are some TV programs with news-er-tainment (a.k.a. celebrity gossip). If TV program-ming wasn’t sad enough, sometimes they do salutes to the latest dead star, and rehash the details includ-ing tearful 911 emergency calls for days, or maybe weeks if parlayed well.
How about this for Tabloid TV? It would be the ulti-mate show in honor of (pick a number between 50 and 9,999) of the all-time greatest now dead enertainers.

If there were one house that I believe is beautifully decorated, it would be my grandmother’s house. She has really put a lot of time and effort into making her house into what I be-lieve is the perfect South-ern home. Her house was built in 2002, so it is not actually an old home, but while picking things out for her home she chose some small elements that made it appear to have that antebellum fl are. Un-fortunately, I could never design a home quite like this. Not only because I’m not very gifted in the in-terior design department, but also because it is ‘too nice’.
Being a mother, all my design ideas have to be baby-friendly. I chose a dark colored couch that won’t show up stains as easily, our coffee table has rounded corners, we have a huge baby gate sur-rounding the television, and our end tables are ac-tually ottomans that dou-ble as toy boxes. Consid-ering everything, I believe we have a relatively beau-tiful home. Our walls are light and airy, like often seen in Southern design, and the colors through out our house are earth-toned, also a Southern element. It’s not my grandmother’s house, but it looks like a modern Southern home.
In determining what all we would have in our house though, my husband and I didn’t always see
eye-to-eye. I have yet to see a magazine of South-ern Living that showed a home that had camoufl age in it, nor have I seen one with deer, turkeys, fi sh, etc. hanging from the walls. As my husband ar-gued the idea with me, the more I took my stand. “I am not going to have dead animals hanging from my walls.”
Finally, our argument was laid to rest when I agreed that he could deco-rate his “man cave” (the basement) however he chose. This isn’t to say that I’m against hunting, or displaying ones ‘tro-phies’ for people to see. To be honest, animals on the walls just creep me out. I feel like they are staring at me, plus, they’re just a bit too ‘country’ for my tastes. I love being South-ern and I love most ev-erything about Southern design, but I believe the woods behind our home should stay behind our home-not in the house.
of Jimi Hendrix death – let’s include unresolved rumors about each of them. Teasers can say things like this “Things you didn’t know about the death of Ed McMa-hon,” or “the never-be-fore-told story of the last days of Barbara Billing-sly, or “what really hap-pened to John Forsyth?”
Sponsors could in-clude manufacturers of facial tissue who could sell their product by the case, video rental/sales companies who could sell stars old productions, and colognes and per-fumes promoted by stars before they were dead, even if such frangances are no longer commer-cially available. Maybe the TV program can have a big time auction house advertise who sold the goods of some of the stars.
Or we can just contin-ue to drudge up a star’s death every few weeks, with a new interview from a family member, maid, body guard, or neighbor. The TV tries to keep the name alive and the deceased cry out “Please, Let us rest.”

Smith was operating the gas station in Monticello when he got the notice he was going into the service, He had two weeks to sell the business and get ev-erything in order. He was expected to be gone for at least 18 months. His basic training was in Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis from October to December. He remembers how cold it was, they slept in tents, with a pot bellied stove for heat, that constantly threw sparks. Someone had to be on fi re guard at all times so they wouldn’t catch on fi re.
In December of 1943 he was sent to Fort Logan in Denver for clerical school. He said he had barely even seen a typewriter, but when the army wants you to do something, you do it. He arrived on a Tues-day and they closed the school on Friday. He was then sent to New Mexico to Camp Luna. He sent for his wife, who didn’t like it there, so she came back home as he prepared to go overseas.
At Newport News, Va., he boarded the U.S.S. Fe-lix Grunde and headed to North Africa. He was in the Air Force attached to the Army, as there wasn’t a full Air Force at the time. As a man of small stature, he said he was a little too short for pilot training. One week out at seas, the ship hit something, like a mine or something that caused damage, so they had to stop at Bermuda for repairs. That was the fi rst time Smith had ever picked a ripe banana from a tree. They traveled in a convoy of ships and while in route, he would notice

the sun would be in dif-ferent places each day, the ship would purposely go in different routes to avoid detection. They arrived in North Africa and when go-ing through the desert, he spotted boats, and thought how strange a sight, amid all the sand, until he real-ized the ships were going through the Suez Canal.
Smith was stationed at John Payne Field in Cairo, Egypt. His job was as a billet and clerical duties in the adjunct offi ce He would fi nd lodging for service personal or visi-tors coming to the base. When fi nishing orders, they would heat wax with a candle to seal the docu-ments.
While in Cairo, he re-ceived word that he was a father, his daughter Ruth Ann had been born. The telegram had arrived in one day, but it took six days for him to get the message. He passed out cigars and celebrated with fellow soldiers. . His daughter was 13 months old before he got to see her in person. His wife wrote almost every day, but the letters would come to him in bundles. There would be weeks without any-thing, then he would get a big bundle of letters from home, which brightened his day.
The base where he was stationed was a stag-ing point for aircraft and supplies. One day famous movie actor, Gene Autry, the singing cowboy, came through. Autry was a pi-lot. Smith said he was a very nice, down to earth guy, who would sign au-tographs and tell the men about current events hap-pening in the States.
Harold Parsons, a friend of Smith’s from Monticel-lo, came through the base, after he had just received a letter from him. Smith called his mess sergeant friend, who fi xed Parsons up with a great meal.
Smith met movie star Pat O’Brien and ten-nis star and model, Jinx Falkenberg, They came to the base as part of the USO shows and Smith was called on stage to per-form a skit. He got auto-graphs and pictures of the stars. The entertainment was meant to keep up mo-rale.
He tells about the city
of Cairo. The country was poor, but there were also many riches to be seen. There were lots of shops and open air markets, with people carrying animals to sale or trade. People mainly traveled by donkey and carts, horses, camels or other various animals. There were vehicles on the roads, but a lot of them were military units.
As a county boy, never out of the states, or even the surrounding tri-state area, Smith said he saw some wonderful sites, that he had mainly just read about. They had a jeep as-signed to their squadron, and although he didn’t abuse the privilege he and his buddies were able to use it for some sight see-ing. When he fi rst saw the great pyramids, he won-dered “How did they do that?” The site had a few tourists, but nothing like the attraction it is today. They had close access, standing and posing on the pyramids. Smith was always interested in pho-tography, and had been taking pictures since the 1930s. He usually always had a camera with him. He was able to get his fi lm de-veloped in Cairo. He took many amazing pictures which he keeps in a scrap-book.
As a man of faith all his life, he really enjoyed traveling for some rest and relaxation and be-ing able to visit Christ’s Tomb. He had his picture taken in front of the tomb. He walked in the Gar-den of Gethsemane. They were told the olive trees standing there were bear-ing fruit during the time of Christ. He walked the Via dolorosa, a street in the city of Old Jerusalem, said to be the path Jesus walked, carrying his cross, on his way to his crucifi x-ion. This was very mean-ingful to Smith, as he was a Sunday School teacher, and still attends church in Monticello every Sunday. He also swam in the Sea of Galilee.
Smith is a Mason and he and other Masons also serving in the army would get together. This was the only time offi cers and en-listed men associated with each other. They couldn’t really have a formal meet-ing, but they would meet to have lunch and listen
to a speaker. One such speaker was an Egyptolo-gist who explained things about Egypt, the history, how the pyramids were built and other things about the culture.
He had some good times, in the service, but always thought about his family back home. Ev-erything was rationed, a smoker at the time, he would trade his beer ra-tions for cigarettes, which costs, forty cents a carton or four cents a pack.
Smith recalls a Sargent Prentiss, who was with him through basic training and they were stationed with each other through their times overseas. In boot camp, obstacle course training included scaling a large wall. Smith was shorter than most of his buddies, but Prentiss would bend down and let him step up on his back to help make the climb.
Burrell Smith saw lots of troops come through his base, and says he was very fortunate to have not seen any combat. Most troops were on an 18 month rotation, but usu-ally service time lasted two years. Of course, ev-eryone was happy when they heard the war had ended. Smith came back to the states on the U.S.S. Cristobell. He learned he was to be discharged. He and buddy, Willard Dance, who would later work with him at R.E.A., went to St. Louis and had a big steak in celebration.
Smith clearly remem-bers his time in the service and his adventures over-seas. He went on the Hon-or Flight to see the memo-rial in Washington, D.C., with his son, Bill. His two grandsons also fl ew to D.C. to share the experi-ence with him. Highland elementary students raised funds to send him, John Sharpe and Wayne Welk-er on the Honor Flight, which he said was a won-derful experience and en-courages every veteran to take the trip. He is also grateful to the students for selecting him to go on the fl ight.
Burrell Smith is a life-long resident of Monticel-lo, and will celebrate his 94th birthday on May 2.

Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative
Proud to bring you: “Recollections of Burrell Smith”
Capps Variety Store at Fourth and Lewis Street has been a fi xture in down-town Canton since 1933, during the time when the Lock and Dam 20 was being built, and during Canton’s period of eco-nomic boom.
Ginny and Jim Oliver are third gener-ation owners, having purchased the busi-ness from Ginny’s step- father and moth-er, Robert and Mildred Capps in 1980. A devastating fi re occurred in 1978 and the business was rebuilt in the same location.
Capps Variety Store offers small town friendly service and has in stock thousands of items, including greeting cards, toys, sewing and craft supplies, health and beauty aids, cleaning sup-plies, unique gift ideas, decorations for holidays and parties, offi ce supplies, cell phones, satellite TV, picture framing and many other items too numerous to men-tion.
The current store was built in 1982, adding Capps Offi ce Supply. A wide variety of offi ce supplies are offered and anything not in stock, is available the next morning and the company deliv-ers. Services also include imprinted en-velopes, forms, stampers, engraving and sign making. They also sell ad speciali-ties, such as names imprinted on pens, etc. They purchased the building at 401 Lewis, across the street, and that became The Christmas Shop, which has some of the best Christmas bulk candy in the area. Anything anyone could need for Christ-mas can be found in the store. In 1990 they purchased the Frame Shop from Bruce and Sherry Zenge. The business does quality framing of pictures, posters,
awards, mementoes, or anything else that deserves special attention.
Cell phone sales and service began in 1995. Capps teamed with US Cellular, starting out selling the bag phones. Now they offer US Cellular phones, with the special service only a hometown busi-ness can offer. The business also is a dealer for Dish Network. The store has been part of the industry’s history of moving into the vast offerings of satellite and internet service.
Ginny and Jim Oliver said, “We really try to treat all our customers as family, the way things used to be. We care about people and we are happy to be here in the community.” Jim and Ginny have been a
part of the business community for over forty years. Like most small business owners, they always work six days a week and try to accommodate their cus-tomer’s needs.
Mrs. Oliver said that in the early days, the Canton business community would stay open on Saturday nights until 10 p.m., so that farm and working families could come and shop or go to the movies. At Christmas time there was a decorated tree in the middle of the intersection of 4th and Lewis. Ginny started working at the store while she was in high school. She met Jim Oliver while in the service and stationed in Atlanta. Jim Oliver is from Boone, N.C.
They have seen many changes during their years in business and when High-way 61 opened, they knew their business and the downtown area wouldn’t have as much traffi c as before, so they have always tried to change with the times, and offer a “one stop shop” experience. Ginny Oliver said Culver-Stockton Col-lege has always been an integral part of the community’s culture and growth. She said their presence in the community has lifted Canton’s standard of living and the college has always been supportive of their business. They also appreciate the families of Ayers Oil Company and Janney Builders, who just like Capps, have multi-generations that have contin-ued to serve the county and have adapt-ed through the changes the years have brought.
Ginny Oliver said, “We have been blessed through the years with genera-tions of customers who appreciate hav-ing our style of local customer service, we ring up your sales, put your purchase in brown paper bags, count your change back and help you carry your purchases to your vehicle. From putting batteries in watches, adding contacts to your cell phone, or fi nding a special item. We at-tempt to be supportive of all our commu-nity’s activities and have enjoyed watch-ing babies grow up and bring their own babies and grandchildren to The Capps Store.”
Capps is open Monday through Satur-day 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended hours during the Christmas season. The phone number is (573) 288-3021.

On Monday, April 23 Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant Brent Bernhardt brought along a crash simu-lator to help demonstrate the impact of a fi ve mile per hour crash to Canton R-V high school students. The students were able to get into the car seat, strap on a seat belt, and ride down the roller coaster like con-traption to experience the impact. In all of the traffi c fatalities in Missouri well over half of them are due to the fact that the persons inside the vehicle did not have a seatbelt on. Sgt. Bernhardt went on to say that about 80 percent of Missourians use seatbelts, but Missouri State Troopers are looking to increase that number.

Motorists are encour-aged to “Watch for Mo-torcycles” this May in ob-servation of the national Motorcycle Safety Aware-ness Month. All motorists are reminded to be alert to help keep motorcyclists safe, while motorcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists. Raising aware-ness among Missouri drivers and riders alike reduces the risk of serious injury and fatalities on our roadways. In 2011, there were 671 crashes involv-ing a motorcycle, resulting in 82 fatalities and 644 se-

rious injuries. Riders are encouraged to wear proper protective gear including a DOT compliant hel-met. Motorcycle experts recommend motorcyclists also complete some type of rider training before getting out on the road. There are 26 training loca-tions in Missouri. To fi nd one near you please visit www.mmsp.org.
Here are some tips for driver to help keep motor-cyclists safe: Always make a visual check for motor-cycles in mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes or turning. Always
signal your intentions well in advance before turning or changing lanes. Allow more following distance, four to fi ve sec onds, when behind a motorcycle. Tips for motorcyclists: Com-bine hand signals and turn signals to draw more at-tention to yourself. Posi-tion yourself in the lane where you will be most visible to other drivers. Ride with your headlights on, even during daylight hours. For more informa-tion on the Watch for Mo-torcycles campaign, visit www.saveMOlives.com.

Country LivingLife today on farms in Northeast Missouri
Withdrawal of proposed rule dealing with children who work in agricultural vocations
Th e U.S. Department of Labor issued the following statement regarding the withdrawal of a proposed rule dealing with children who work in agricultural vocations:
“Th e Obama administration is fi rmly committed to promoting family farmers and respecting the rural way of life, especially the role that parents and other family members play in passing those traditions down through the generations. Th e Obama admin-istration is also deeply committed to listening and responding to what Americans across the country have to say about proposed rules and regulations.
“As a result, the Department of Labor is announcing today the withdrawal of the proposed rule dealing with children under the age of 16 who work in agri-cultural vocations.
“Th e decision to withdraw this rule – including provisions to defi ne the ‘parental exemption’ – was made in response to thousands of comments ex-pressing concerns about the eff ect of the proposed rules on small family-owned farms. To be clear, this regulation will not be pursued for the duration of the Obama administration.
“Instead, the Departments of Labor and Agricul-ture will work with rural stakeholders – such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Farmers Union, the Future Farmers of America, and 4-H – to develop an educational program to reduce accidents to young workers and promote safer agri-cultural working practices.”

A ten year motivational speaker Kevin Horner used his talents in ventriloquism and magic to entertain and impact the children of Canton elementary. “I want that child to walk out of this assembly and say I know how that per-son feels because I felt it today at the assembly for the fi rst time,” says Horner.
The kids were shown videos and shown ways on how to help those who are being bullied and help them out of the situation. For more information on ways to prevent bullying you can visit the Kansas Bullying Prevention Program at www.kbpp.org.

In last week’s edition of the paper, the picture and cut-line about Canton City Hall repainting was incorrectly quoted. Mayor Phillips was the person who stated: “We can’t expect our residents to have pride in their homes and community if we don’t have pride as well.” The Press-News Journal regrets the error.
The Culver-Stockton College softball team ended the 2012 season the way it began, with a split against regional rival Hannibal-LaGrange University Tuesday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Canton. HLGU was helped by a costly Wildcat error in winning the opener 1-0. However, the Wildcats rebounded and behind the bat of Victoria Sendejas and the arm of Jenny Merrill went on to win the second game 3-0. In game two, the Wildcats grabbed a quick 1-0 lead on a leadoff solo home run by Sendejas to start the second inning. That’s all Merrill would need as the senior right-hander, who took the loss in game one, blanked the Trojans the rest of the game. Rhea Hobson and Kristen Johnston crossed home plate in the third inning to give the Wildcats their 3-0 victory over the HLG. The Wildcats complete the fi rst season under fi rst-year Head Coach Aron Potter with a 15-24 overall record, eight wins better than last season.
Culver-Stockton freshman Megan Miehe will carry a three-stroke lead into the fi nal round of the Heart of America Athletic Conference Women’s Golf Tournament at Hail Ridge Golf Course in Boonville, Mo.
Miehe, of Davenport, Iowa, carded a seven-over 79 to fi nish three strokes in front of Avila’s Mattie Willmore, who shot a 10-over 82 on the par 72 course. The second and fi nal round will be held on Tuesday.
Miehe’s round helped the Wildcats card a team score of 367, which is good for fourth place in the six-team fi eld. The Wildcats are 11 strokes behind tournament leader Avila, which carded a 356. Baker (362) and Peru State (364) are second and third, respectively. Graceland (389) and Central Methodist (400) sith behind the Wildcats in fi fth and sixth place.
