A record number of people attended the ninth annual Ten Rivers Chapter Pheasants Forever banquet Saturday.

“It was a big success. We had more than 300 people, the largest number of attend-ees we’ve ever had. It’s the best fundraiser we’ve ever done,” said club president Rob Power.

The amount of money tak-en in by the auctions of hunt-ing related items and eight raffl es of 16 fi rearms, - all do-nated by sponsors - was still being tabulated, according to

Power.Power said this year, the

group had 40 Gold sponsors, each who provided at least $300.

“That gave us more money to start with than we’ve made in some years,” Power said.

He said all money raised af-ter expenses will be used for local projects.

“We’ll use it for a focus group that is being developed. We have a 12,000 acre area we’re targeting for habitat nesting birds in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation, who will pay for 90 percent of the project and Pheasants Forever will

pay for 10 percent,” Power said “there should be no cost to the co-operators (land own-ers).

“The focus group is bring-ing attention to our county,” he said.

Power said several other area counties have such focus groups.

In addition, proceeds also help pay for cost-share proj-ects and seed for local land-owners for habitat growth; for a college scholarship for both a Canton and Highland

student; covering 4-H shoot-ing events and the Highland and Canton FFA sports shoot-ing events; and the cost of the Lewis County 4-H team for ri-fl e, shotgun, and archery com-peting at state. Tim Coy has been the Lewis County coach.

Power said the chapter is re-searching a recent endowment from Pheasants Forever Na-tionally to earmark $20,000 for the Canton and Highland shooting teams, with the na-tional chapter covering 75 percent of the costs.

A LaBelle husband and wife have each been arrested on drug charges Feb. 22.

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce, Northeast Missouri Drug Task force, and Missouri State Highway Patrol executed a search warrant at the home of Clayton A. Wainwright and his wife Connie M. Wainwright. Law enforcement discovered items used to make methamphetamines.

Clayton Wainwright, 36 is charged with the class B felony of attempt to manufacture a controlled substance

(meth). He has numerous prior felony convictions and is on pa-role from the Missouri Depart-ment of Corrections. He is in the Lewis County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 cash only bond.

Connie Wainwright, 34, was also charged with the class B felony of attempting to manu-facture a controlled substance (meth). She remains lodged in the Lewis County Jail in lieu of a $50,000 cash only bond.

Reever said lock crews did the work in-house,

and took about 60 days to complete the project, and couldn’t close the lock chamber for more than seven days.

This project is locat-ed on the east lock wall between the main lock chamber and a secondary lock chamber.

Mark Reinebach will observe 25 years as an American Family agent on March 1. He began his ca-reer as an insurance agent when Jerry Bean, long-time American Family agent in LaGrange, went into management for the company. Mark was farm-ing and ran heavy equip-ment, when a back injury made him look for other career opportunities. Jerry suggested becoming an insurance agent and Mark talked to the people from American Family and got the job of being an agent in Lewis County.

He took over the of-fi ce in LaGrange and later opened an offi ce in Can-ton. The American Family Insurance Agency is now located at 1810 Elm Street in Canton. Reinebach had an offi ce in LaGrange for 21 years. He is licensed in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa and has fi ve full time licensed staff employees. The agency is a multi-line agency, which means it provides insurance for autos, property, commer-cial, farm/ranch, life and health.

Reinebach says he has really enjoys meeting the great people of the com-munity and appreciates their loyal support. Many of his customers he has had since he started in the insurance business. He likes to help his custom-ers make informed deci-sions about their insurance needs. His warm, friendly personality and caring at-titude towards his custom-ers has helped make his agency a success. He start-ed with one other person in the offi ce, Judy Mallet of LaGrange, who worked with him for over 20 years and his agency has grown every year. He also makes time for his customers to give the personal at-tention they deserve and works several evenings to better serve his customers.

Reinebach also believes strongly in the company he represents. American Family will observe 85 years in business in Octo-ber.

The American Fam-ily Insurance history is a story that started with a single idea. A struggling insurance salesman named Herman Wittwer believed a company could make money selling auto insur-ance to Wisconsin farm-ers. Herman understood that farmers presented lower risks compared to city drivers because they drove less often and put their cars up on blocks for the winter. Armed with this customer knowledge, Her-man confi dently opened the doors of Farmers Mu-tual Automobile Insurance Company on Oct. 3, 1927.

Over the years, the mar-ket grew from rural areas to small towns, suburbs and metropolitan areas. As customers’ needs also changed, and the compa-ny changed with them by expanding products and services. The company’s name changed in 1963 to American Family Mutual Insurance Company to re-fl ect a broader customer base and currently oper-ates in 19 states.

Mark Reinebach says he is proud to live in a wonderful community. He is very active in the community and gener-ously donates and sup-ports local events, espe-cially those that involve children. He and his wife Vicky have four children and ten granddaughters. Reinebach and his staff look forward to serving the community in the fu-ture. The offi ce is open weekdays or appointments can accommodate any schedule. The phone num-ber is (573) 288-2004.

The LaGrange Com-munity Youth Center held a program for the commu-nity dealing with the prob-lems of drug abuse. Speak-ers included the LaGrange Police Department K-9 of-fi cer, Lt. Don Cibert, who talked to the crowd about how the LaGrange Police Department, along with all the other area law enforce-ment agencies, are fi ght-ing the war on drugs. Cib-ert gave a demonstration with the drug dog, Vitou. Vitou is trained in detect-ing all types of drugs and is also a search and rescue dog. The drug dog in one of three in northeast Mis-souri and his services are requested by agencies in many of the surrounding counties. The City of La-Grange purchased the dog several years ago to help the area fi ght drugs.

Betty Bronestine, di-rector of the Youth Cen-ter, organizes this annual event to make the commu-nity aware of the dangers of drugs and how it . She introduced three speakers who have admitted to drug use and are now recover-ing from that addiction. Kyle Spindler, told the group about how he start-ed using drugs and alcohol and how he disappointed members of his family. He wanted to tell the group how damaging drugs can be to a life and cautioned the crowd to make good choices so that no one has to have his experience.

Patti and Kent Spin-dler, his adoptive parents, were in the audience and Spindler told the crowd about how he let his fam-

ily down and the disap-pointment they felt as they tried to help him. He said he always had good par-ents, who raised him up with good family values and were a loving family, but the addition was be-yond his control. He said through everything his family was there for him, but he rejected them. Be-coming a father and be-ing arrested turned his life around. He received the help he needed to beat the addiction and make a bet-ter life for himself and his family.

Spindler also comple-mented the LaGrange Po-lice for their help and ad-mitted that he really didn’t understand that they were trying to help them, but he is now grateful for all they did. Spindler says he has been clean for almost a year and will continue to stay away from drugs or other addictive substances to be a good father. Two other speakers also told of their experiences and how they are on the road to recovery. The speak-ers also spoke about the good things the LaGrange Community Youth Cen-ter provides. The Center has hosted several drug awareness programs, fam-ily and community events and provides a safe place for children and teens. They also thanked Betty Bronestine for her work at the Youth Center and how she has helped them.

Terry Hawkins, a writer and actor, who recently retired from teaching lan-guage to students in Thai-land, and is moving back to the area, had written a poem about meth and shared it with the audi-

ence. Dale McNelly, La-

Grange Police Chief, said that his department is committed to prevent-ing drug use in the area. McNelly said most every town has a problem with drugs, whether large or small.

He said that for the size of LaGrange, residents are very fortunate to have

a police department with several offi cers and a K-9 unit.

McNelly said they ac-tively patrol looking for any signs of suspicious ac-tivity., which not only cuts down on drug problems, but also makes the town safe from other crimes such as burglary or vandalism or other crimes that can occur. They also work with the

Lewis County Sheriff’s Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Task Force and other agencies to keep drugs out of the area in all parts of northeast Missouri. The size of the force, the K-9 unit and working with other agencies are all big deterrents to drug use and any future drug activity. McNelly also said anyone

needing help to recover from an addiction or prob-lem can contact the police department and they will put them in contact with agencies that can help them and their families. Chief McNelly said “Re-port any suspicious activ-ity. Everyone has to work together to keep drugs and crime out of the commu-nity.”

LaGrange Police Lt. and K-9 Offi cer Don Cibert and Vitou, the LaGrange Drug Dog, gave a demonstrationduring a drug awareness program held at the LaGrange Youth Center on February 25. The LaGrange Police Department and other area law enforcement agencies are taking an active stand against drugs in our com-munity.

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).

Edward Grimm, owner of the Reliable, at the red barn south of LaGrange, was a pleasant caller at the Journal offi ce Thurs-day and ordered some ad-vertising for the hatchery. He brought out with him an order of 500 chicks for Mrs. Les Bash.

Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Simpson of LaBelle cele-brated their 60th wedding anniversary Monday. On account of the bad roads none of their children could be with them on this rare occasion.

The little son of Mar-vin Prebe whose mother was burned to death last week is in serious condi-tion from the burns he re-ceived.

The Cunard line steam-er “Laconia” was torpe-doed without warning last Sunday night, 278 sur-vived but two American women and a man were

among those lost. This is regarded as furnishing the “over act” which may lead to war with Germany.

Mrs. Tooey is in Chica-go this week buying spring millinery for the Mrs. C. H. Mays shop of Canton. She was in St. Louis the past week and patrons of this popular shop can rest assured of getting the very latest styles.

The Farmer’s Tele-phone Central which is now located in Mr. Sedel-meier’s building will be moved to Mrs. Radaman’s property.



Garner Primrose of LaBelle has resigned his position as traveling sales-man for Kellog, Birge & Co. of Keokuk, and taken charge of a store in Stef-fenville.

Spencer Caldwell sold eight pounds of dried gin-seng roots at $6 per pound. The roots were only four years old and grew in a bed 40 feet long and four feet wide. They would have done equally as well planted in half the space and the roots have been much larger had the plants not been permitted to bear seed.

The characteristic of the coming great Lewis Coun-ty fair will be its enormous premiums ever offered by a county fair will be of-fered here next fall.

The huckster wag-ons have started out, Mr. Knight at Benjamin and Lay Bros., of Bunker hill made their rounds last week buying eggs and supplying their customers with groceries.



Ex-collector Jas. T. Hutton bid farewell to Monticello Monday and left for his home in La-Grange. A benediction of peace, long life, and pros-perity was pronounced upon him by his fellow offi cers and many friends here. He made one of the very best collectors that Lewis County ever had.

Recent TV news brief: An image of the Virgin Mary was found on a tree.

It’s usually the Virgin Mary or Jesus whose face supposedly is found in a variety of unsuspect-ing places - in a tree, on a cheese sandwich, on silverware, and even in a shower mold. (Google Virgin Mary images to learn more about some that have been reported).

Why is it this most holy mother/son combination are said to be on so many items, when conclusive photographs of either of them are lacking? Why is it only thee two Bible people are found in items?

People are less likely to fi nd images of Adam, Eve, Moses, Job, King David, King Solomon, the Apos-tle Paul, Lydia, Martha, or even Mephibosheth on a pancake or in unique bar soap swirls, or the image of Pope St. Clement I on a pumpkin seed.

Which is more sacrile-gious - questioning about fi nding these images on objects or actually fi nd-ing an image and assign-ing it to look like Jesus or Mary?

We rarely hear of peo-ple fi nding a cake frosting swirl that looks like U.S. President Millard Fill-more or a potato chip that looks like Richard Nixon or butter tub contents that resemble Bill Clinton. Photographs of Nixon and Clinton exist to at least compare a likeness.

Likewise, despite their immense popularity in pop culture, hardly any-one reports fi nding a wood grain image of El-

vis Presley, a car tire scuff that resembles Michael Jackson, a spaghetti stain that resembles Madonna, a dog biscuit with an ac-cidental resemblance to Lassie, or the inadvertent glare of lights on a Gram-my award that looked like Thomas Edison.

Also, when was the last time we heard of a coco-nut that resembles either Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, a dirt imprint of Conrad Hilton, a coon-skin cap holder that looks Donald Trump, a com-puter cable coiled to look like Bill Gates, or a pile of trash that’s a dead ringer for Saddam Hussein.

There are a lot of fa-mous people through the ages, but if a public image is going to be found on a natural or man-made ob-ject, it likely won’t be of someone in recent history. For some reason, it just draws more attention if the image found is said to re-semble Jesus or the Virgin Mary.

Perhaps there is a holy fear of someone afraid of eternal consequences if they say that paint swath doesn’t resemble the Vir-gin Mary.

Growing up, I always believed that parenthood was much easier than all the adults around me made it out to be. When asked why I felt this way, I always responded with an explanation of how well my mother took care of things. In truth, as a child, I had no worries. My mother (with help from my grandmother) seemed to be able to tackle every task thrown at her, often-times without even break-ing a sweat.

For years my mother juggled a full-time, trav-eling job, two kids, a hus-band, a house to clean, ani-mals, etc. Because I didn’t fi t in well at day-care, my grandmother took care of me on the days that my mother was working and on the nights my mother was out of town, yet, even with all her traveling and long hours, she somehow managed to make every school and sporting event, helped with my home-work when needed, and squeezed in some time for herself every evening. As a new mother myself, that list makes my brain spin.

My day-to-day seems so overwhelming. Be-tween taking care of my daughter, working, clean-ing house, and trying to make time to see my hus-band (who works on sec-ond shift and doesn’t get

home until nearly mid-night), there is rarely any time for anything else. Free time is not in my vo-cabulary, and sleep is very rarely mentioned either.

On the days I’m partic-ularly fl ustered, I always seem to dial my mother’s number. “Mom, how did you do it?” Is always the fi rst question I ask. Fortu-nately, like good mothers always seem able to do, my mother calms me and tells me that I’m doing a great job and not to be so hard on myself. Instantly, my weight seems to have lightened and my daunt-ing tasks seem to go by with little effort.

A traditional Southern quote is: “A man may work from sun to sun but a woman’s work is never done.” My mother al-ways managed to do this so effortlessly. I can only hope that my daughter will think the same of me when she fi nds herself in my shoes.

After the Battle at

Shiloh, the South was feeling as low

as a bird dog with

a head cold. The war wasn’t going as

expected, and the loss at Shiloh stripped their sails. The South needed a boost, and they got one. Onto the scene rode a great South-ern leader, clear-eyed, purposeful, Major General Thomas Jonathan Jackson, who earned the nickname “Stonewall” at the first battle of Bull Run. He was a general of flawless moral character, respected by all, and held in high esteem by the leg-endary Robert E. Lee, who would become the Confederacy’s topnotch command-ing general.

I learned about Gen. Jackson when we visited his home in Lexington, Va. The hospitable folks there al-lowed me to accompany Walt on the house tour, a kindness I acknowledged with a cool nose to their palms.

Thanks to Jackson, the Rebels racked up victories in the spring of 1862 when his army won a series of battles in the Shenandoah Valley.

The Union was trying to gain control of Richmond, but Jackson prevented reinforcements from getting to the capi-tal of the Confederacy. The admiration and trust the troops had in their general helped them stand firm and repulse the North.

The story goes that one of the regiments with the Virginia Howitzers got an ad-ditional morale booster from a bouncy, shorthaired pup with a black-tipped tail.

The little dog sprinted out of nowhere, straight into the hearts of the battle-weary men.

They named the stray “Stonewall,” even though a gust of wind could have picked him up. The pooch never got very big, but he made a huge impact on the Rich-mond Howitzers, especially Sgt. John Van Lew McCreery, a kind gent Stonewall adopted as his master.

Now Sgt. John was handy-dandy—he could shoe a horse and craft a clock that chimed. Always in need of a project, the Sarge taught Stonewall a trick or two, an entertaining diversion in the downtime between battles. To everyone’s delight, McCreery fashioned a tiny pipe and taught Stonewall to sit straight up on his haunches and hold it between his teeth during roll call.

Stonewall wasn’t a trickster ad-mired only for his antics. He also was a fierce fighter who wouldn’t back down. When the cannons and rifles roared and the shells whizzed and

exploded with a bang, he wouldn’t

take cover. No, he’d bark his head off and run this way and that as the Howit-zers changed positions.

The soldiers had a real soft spot for their bitty Stonewall and worried that he’d get blown away, so this Rebel or that one would scoop him up, carry the pup under his arm or tuck him away in an empty ammunition box during the heat of battle.

Yapping, darting Stonewall’s reputa-tion grew. Soon he became the stuff of legend, and stories about him infiltrated other camps like the dreams of mother’s pie cooling on the windowsill. Alas,

those tales proved to be Stonewall’s downfall.

Another regiment in the Army of North-ern Virginia wanted to claim Stonewall, and the pup became the object of a series of dog-nappings, sneaky crimes that al-most led to “friendly fire” confrontations between the Howitzers and the Louisiana Creoles. The Howitzers got their trea-sured buddy back several times, but the Creoles didn’t give up. Finally they made off with the prized pup, and Stonewall was never heard from again.

There are a lot of tales that end like this from the Civil War—stories shrouded in mystery.

Birth Announcement

Ten youth are taking a fi re-training course with the Canton Fire Depart-ment.

The students have fi n-ished the seventh week of the course.

“They have eight weeks, then they have (to go to) Quincy Fire Col-lege March 16-17,” said Canton Fire Chief Jeff McReynolds.

Some of the students are Canton R-V students, a few are Culver-Stockton students, and one is a C-S staff member.

The class is a state-cer-tifi ed fi refi ghter introduc-tion class, and involves climbing ladders, mock burns like one conducted Feb. 26 of pallets and straw, breaking down doors, and auto extrica-tion, and FEMA incident courses.

“They will be able to respond after they pass a state certifi cation test,” McReynolds said. “I like this program. They hit the ground running. It’s easier to use on a fi re call.”

According to McReyn-olds, people have differ-ent roles in a fi re depart-ment, depending how they fi t with the tasks.

“There is a lot of work to do at a fi re scene, even

if you don’t (become the one to) put out the fi re,”McReynolds said.

McReynolds is hoping some of the students carryon with fi refi ghting.

“A lot of the guys will be around Canton afterthey graduate from highschool. Manpower is apremium everywhere.

Alex Dewitt is one of the Canton R-V students participating.“It’s awesome. I consid-ered being a fi refi ghter fora year or two.”

Skyler Bronestine of Williamstown and son of Williamstown fi refi ghter Brad Bronestine said it’s been in his mind since his father fi rst took him to the Williamstown Fire House, when Williamstown was a separate department and Brad Bronestine was chief.

Joe Stubbs is a staffmember at C-S. “It’s a great opportunity to haveunder my belt. I enjoy the classes. I’m in charge of the sorority and fraternity houses and work with theresidence life on all dorms on campus.”

Others in the course areToby Wilson, Fabio More-no, Vince Green, Matt De-witt, Lucas Brown, David McReynolds, and CalebFannon. Wilson, Alex De-witt, Moreno, Bronestine,Brown, and McReynolds are Canton R-V students.

Culver-Stockton Col-lege is again hosting a storm spotter training class on Thursday, March 15 at 6:30 p.m. The pro-gram, which is expected to run about two hours, will be conducted in the Rob-ert W. Brown Performing Arts Center on the campus of Culver-Stockton Col-lege. Jim Kramper, from the National Weather Ser-vice in St. Louis, will be presenting the course ma-terial. In addition, meteo-rologists from the WGEM News StormTrak Weather team will be in attendance.

Local Angus Breeders recognized nationally in Pathfi nder report

Several members of Lewis Co. have recently been nationally recognized for having Angus cows registered in the Association’s 2012 Pathfi nder Report.

The locals that were recognized and were (number of registered Angus cows also included): David Linnenburger, Canton, 1; Terry Little and Son, Monticello, 1; Alan Spicknall, LaBelle, 3; Spicknall Farms Inc., LaBelle, 1; Jim and Sharon Schlager, Canton, 5; J. D. McCutchan and Son, Monticello, 3.

The Pathfi nder program identifi es superior Angus cows based upon recorded performance traits economically important to effi cient beef production. These traits include early and regular calving and heavy weaning weights, Bowman says. Over 1.9 million eligible dams and more than 6.5 million weaning records were examined to determine Pathfi nder status. All registered Angus cows that meet the strict Pathfi nder standards are listed, along with their owners, in the Pathfi nder Report that is published annually by the Association.

The 2012 Pathfi nder Report lists 8,761 individual cows and 231 Pathfi nder sires. It is published online at www.angus.org, and printed copies are available from the Association. The largest number of Pathfi nder cows from a single herd this year is 74. Started in 1978, the Pathfi nder Program continues to recognize outstanding breeders participating in the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®) Program.
