The Missouri State High-way Patrol reports a head on crash occurred one mile south of LaGrange on Dec. 9. A 2000 Mercury Marquis, driven by Carolyn F. Taylor, 76, Quincy, Ill, was travel-ing north on Rte. B when it crossed the center line and struck a southbound 2000 Dodge Caravan, driven by Brady R. Shrader, 17, La-Grange, Mo. Both vehicles traveled off the roadway into the ditch. Taylor was transported by Lewis Coun-ty EMS to Blessing Hospital with minor injuries. Both ve-hicles had to be towed from the scene. Also assisting were the LaGrange Police Department, Lewis County Sheriff’s Office and the La-Grange Fire and Rescue.

Santa, Mrs. Claus and two elves welcomed children and parents at the LaGrange Community Youth Center family Christmas party on Saturday, Dec. 8.

Ursa Farmers Cooperative will host an open house this Friday, Dec. 14, at the new facility at 307 Elm Street in Canton, Mo. The public is invited. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. followed by a informational program and grand opening ceremony. A special tribute to Dale Mc-Cutchan, a long time sup-porter of Ursa Farmers Coop, will be held with the ceremo-nial fi rst load of grain de-livered by Dan McCutchan, Cindy McCutchan and Jill Putnum, Dale McCutchan’s family. Roger Hugenberg is the assistant general manager of the Canton operation.

Agriculture has always been one of the economic forces in Lewis County and northeast Missouri and hav-ing a facility for crop pro-ducers to bring their grain to market is vital for farmers.

Protection District, Western Lewis County Fire District and Marion R-2 Fire Protection District responded to the fi re which was fully engulfed when fi remen arrived on the scene. Fire originated in the attached garage. No foul play is suspected. Fire department

member Terry Faulconer said he was misquoted in another newspaper when they reported the fi re was suspicious.

Mrs. Johnson is a teacher at Highland High School. Staff and students immediately took up a donation for the family. A fundraiser was held Friday

at the school where a student could pay one dollar to wear a hat during school and that money was also donated to the family. Relatives and friends also came to the aid of the family.

This huge rock was placed at the scale house at the new Ursa Farmers Coop location in Canton. The solid granite boulder weighs 15,300 pounds and was uncovered during construction. It is assumed the rock must have come to Missouri during the Ice Age because granite is not native to Missouri.

The new Ursa Farmers facil-ity in Canton is designed to provide a safe way for north-east Missouri farmers to mar-ket their grain. The Canton facility’s river location is one that is considered open water all year and is the northern most port opened all year. It is protected by a levee that has historically not failed. The ability to ship grain twelve months out of the year is an advantage for the company and shareholders and the eco-nomic impact of having a fa-cility on the Missouri side of the river will have a ripple ef-fect throughout the area.

A facility on the Missouri side of the river has been thought about for many many years and a stimulus grant awarded in October 2010 enabled many blighted prop-erties to be cleaned up paved the way for an elevator to be built in Canton. Many many people were instrumental in bringing the idea and real-ization of an Ursa Farmers

Coop in northeast Missouri. Jim Upchurch was the compliance start up manager. Bill Smith of the Lewis County IDA was also a main force in getting the project started and completed. Many oth-er local and state offi cials worked together to get the project to be-come a reality.

Although agriculture has changed over the years, bringing grain to market had not. Many producers spend hours in line at the elevator waiting their turn to empty their grain. Over the last 90 years, farmers have hauled

their grain to market using horses, then small trucks and now semi trucks can carry over 80,000 pounds of grain at one time. With the changing ways of the world, speed is necessary and valuable time is sometimes wasted by waiting in line at the elevator. The Canton fa-cility is designed to speed up the process and also de-signed to grow and adapt as technology changes. When a producer arrives at the Canton facility to sell their grain, they will have an identifi cation tag that can be read from the scale house. This will tell the op-erators who they are, his-tory of the client, etc. The product will be tested and then the producer will be told where to dump their grain. This can be done in less than ten minutes, thus enabling farmers to return to their fi elds quickly. Also data can be sent directly to the producer on their smart phones. The facility will also accommodate those who do not have access to technology. Customer ser-vice will be a priority.

The offi ce and warehouse were made of the same material for $2536. The contract for structure was let and the new elevator was ready for use on April 26, 1921.”

Ursa Farmers Open House continued...will continue to support the Canton ferry. They have paid for all opera-tional services for the last 20 years and they are ac-tively looking for another entity to help with the operations, according to assistant general manager Roger Hugenberg.

Ursa Farmers Coopera-tive (UFC) was organized in 1920 and is a grain mar-keting and farm supply cooperative operating in west central Illinois and northeast Missouri. UFC is producer-owned by more than 2400 members with earned ownership equity. UFC has seven locations, Bowen, Camp Point, Lo-raine and Ursa, plus river locations for barge loading at Canton and Meyer and Warsaw Illinois. These elevators serve over a 50 mile radius through the tri-state area, and it is estimat-ed that it will handle more than 30 million bushels of grain in 2013. The major-ity of the grain originated by UFC is sold for export, shipped out of the Gulf of Mexico. More information about UFC can be found at their website www.ur-sacoop.com

UFC also offers a full array of programs and services for its members including crop insurance. Ursa Farm Marketing, Inc. is a personalized fi nan-

cial marketing program and also offered is Ursa Brokerage Inc. The UFC Feed Department mixed and delivered 70,000 tons of feed from Ursa last year and is a current member of the Land O’ Lakes feed network. The UFC Truck-ing Department hauled over four million bushels of grain and over 35 thou-sand tons of input feed last year. As a dealer for Lewis Hybrids, last year UFC had sales on more than 9,000 bags of corn, 20,000 bags of soybeans and 6,500 bags of wheat seed. The seed condition-er at Loraine conditioned over 85,000 bags of seed last year.

The cost of the Canton facility was built at a cost of 11 million dollars, with expansion plans already in the works. They have worked closely with many agencies to ensure no prob-lems will occur because of their existence.

Ursa Famers Coop sponsors many local events including FFA livestock auctions, trac-tor pulls, livestock judg-ing, scholarships, Farmer of the Year award, high school events and many others. The business and the employees look for-ward to serving the area and being a vital part of the community.

Several veterans gather each morning at the Ea-gles Cafe in LaGrange to have coffee and talk over the events of the world and owner Martha Robin-son says they have some very interesting stories to tell. Jim Moon, Earl Hin-kle, Stanley Platz, Milton East and Don Sneeden visit together almost ev-ery morning.

The Little Queen of Re-bekah Lodge 14 hosted a birthday celebration for Bessie Hutchesson. Bes-sie was born Nov. 14, 1894.

The little shop stands at 508 Clark Street., buzzing and whirring inside with the sounds of the cobblers trade. Busy though he was, Karl Hachtel found time to visit and remi-nisce briefl y. Karl’s father came over from Germany in 1838. A shoemaker by profession, he taught his son everything there was to know about shoes. “He was the best teacher I could have had,” the cob-bler remarked.

Monty’s Market, Mon-ticello’s grocery store, was destroyed by fi re Sun-day afternoon. Firemen from Lewistown, Canton and LaBelle fought the blaze.

If there’s one thing I’m truly looking forward to, it’s the fl ight that will take my daughter and me back to Georgia for a few days. Although some of my family members have ‘seen’ my daughter through video chat, the majority of my family have been left with noth-ing but pictures and quick phone conversations with Amaya since July. This is not only hard on my family, but also on me. So much about my little squirt has changed since July- she blows me away with each new word (and even phrase) she learns, her actions and under-standing of things have changed, and she’s be-coming this independent little villain whose sole purpose is to wreak hav-oc upon our household (or at least, that’s how it seems).

My house is decorated at last, minus a few spe-cial touches I hope to add on Christmas Eve so that Amaya can wake up and not only experience the magic of Christmas, but also have a special birthday as well. It seems so hard to believe that our princess will be two when we get up Christ-mas morning. I’m thank-ful I’ve made it through so far! Now, I just have to fi gure out how I’m go-ing to make it through the Terrible Two’s. Prematu-rity, acid refl ux, sleepless nights, and smelly diapers seem like a breeze com-pared to my upcoming challenges.

Though my days are often spent stressing over my impending parent-hood doom, Christmas shopping has become a blast this year. As new parents, we were clue-less last year around Christmas time. This year, though still clueless, we’re taking the time to enjoy the shopping aspect of Christmas. I’m not sure what I fi nd more enjoy-able- the thought of Ama-ya’s face when she opens her presents, or the sight of my husband’s face in the store as he’s looking it

The Lewis County Historical Society has many photos that have been donated over the years, but like this week’s featured photo, very little, if any information is known about the photograph. This Christmas time picture is marked on the back, Photographic Laboratory Commander Naval Forces Far East, so the link to Lewis County is unknown. Anyone with information should contact the Lewis County Historical Society.

over with a wide grin say-ing, “Honey! Look! This is PERFECT!!!”

As for my own Christ-mas gifts, I’m in the same place I’ve always been. I have no idea what I’d like for Christmas! I’m fortu-nate enough to have a job that I love, friends that care about me, family that is healthy, a husband that drives me bonkers and a Christmas baby. What more could a person ask for? I’ve been given ev-erything I’ve prayed for. Maybe it’s time to add another to the family? Or maybe I’m losing my mind entirely and my life is all just some strange delusion from all the sleepless nights. Either way, the greatest gifts I could receive for Christ-mas would be strength and patience. Strength to continue to make the nec-essary decision to ben-efi t my family and myself and patience to get me through the times that I feel like something’s not happening ‘fast enough.’

My hopes are that ev-eryone else in Lewis Co. can take this time to en-joy Christmas as well, and not dwell so much on the physical gifts. Times spent with those you love is far more memorable than any gift. Out of all the gifts I’ve received, I actually remember a choice few, but I re-member decorating the tree, smelling cinnamon throughout the house, playing with my broth-ers, and watching movies with my parents.

They tell us that the corn crop up their way is turn-ing out an average of 25 to 30 bushels per acre. Judge Bradshaw, who was among those here, had just cribbed 12 acres that made a little more than 50 bushels to the acre. There is more corn in the county than there was thought to be. This has been a pros-perous corn year.

He was twice elected col-lector of revenue of this county; was elected to the position of Grand Master IOOF of Missouri; was elected mayor of Canton last spring; and lastly the position fi rst mentioned. Besides all these he has held many minor posi-tions of usefulness. He will be remembered for what he has done.

EDITORIAL NEWS

The Lewis Co. Sher-iff’s Offi ce has recently received several re-ports of attempted tele-phone scams throughout the county. Concerned citizens have asked the Sheriff’s Offi ce to make everyone aware of these attempts by use of local media. These telephone scams include fraudulent claims that the person has won unclaimed funds from Publisher’s Clear-inghouse. In this scam, the caller has identifi ed themselves as a bank president and an FBI agent in the attempt to legitimize the call seek-ing fi nancial payment through Western Union.

A second Lewis Co. resident called to report that someone attempted to identify themselves as a grandchild of the lo-cal resident. The caller reported they were in-carcerated in the state of Florida and needed

money to get out of jail. The resident was able to contact their grandchild who was not in the state of Florida.

A third scam involved a Lewis Co. resident re-ceiving a post card in the mail that appears legiti-mate. The post card ap-pears to be from the gov-ernment seeking to make changes to the Medicare plan. This is fraudulent. Residents are reminded to contact the normal pro-vider for Medicare and to also contact their physi-cian to help assist them.

Lewis Co. residents are reminded they should never give any informa-tion over the phone un-less they have directly contacted the company or person themselves. Please contact your local bank or law enforcement agency before committing to any transaction if you are in any way concerned about it.

The Carlin-Fee cem-etery located in rural Williamstown, near 187th

Ave, northeast of Wil-liamstown, was over-grown so much that most of stones were not visible. Mrs. Joyce Ingram, a de-scendent of some of the persons buried in the cem-etery had inquired about having someone clean up the property over two years ago. She contacted the Press-News Journal for information and re-quested an ad for someone to do the job. She was put in touch with Kenny Rush of LaBelle. They wanted to contact the owner of the surrounding property to get permission and fi nd out when would be an ap-propriate time to access the cemetery. They want-ed to be sure they did not damage any crops plant-ed around the area. C.B. Keller farms the land, his mother-in-law, Bonnie Leeser, owned the ground.

Neglected Cemetery Receives Care

Jeremy Deacon, Daniel Pinon, Chris Manning and Kenneth Rush recently worked at the Carlin-Fee cemetery in rural Williamstown to clean up the area that had become overgrown with trees and brush. The group is standing next to one of the tombstones that is now visible.

The cemetery is located over a quarter mile off the road and in the middle of a bean fi eld on a small hill. The countryside is peaceful and quiet. There are many stones, some of which are several feet tall. Many of the stones were placed over one hundred and fi fty years ago. Walk-ing through the cemetery was diffi cult, stones were hidden under overgrown weeds and brush. A few places showed signs of wildfl owers blooming, al-though it looked like no one had visited for several decades.

Joyce Ingram wan born and grew up in Cherokee County, Kansas, and her great-great-grandparents are buried in the cemetery, along with other relatives. Her grandfather Daniel Wesley Fee had an older half brother and half sis-ter born in Lewis County, Mo. Her grandpa was born in Clark County as well as four siblings with his four youngest siblings being born in Lewis Coun-ty.

She fi rst learned about the cemetery in 1986. She said in 1968 Robert Meade Fee went to the cemetery and drew a plot map. He sent a copy to her uncle, C.W. Fee. Billy Nic

and Betty Fee took care of the cemetery, installed the fence and cared for it until Bill’s death in 1990. She understands a Clifton who lived in Williamstown also tried to care for it.

Mrs. Ingram shares a little history of some of the people buried there. There are at least seven unmarked graves. The fi rst burial was May 22, 1850 with a headstone of Sarah Emeline Car-lin. The last burial with a headstone was Lewis Carl Hawkins, Cot. 30, 1941. Mrs. Ingram’s great-great grandparents are buried in the cemetery, John Fee, Jr. 1782-1858 and Eliza-beth (Meek) Fee met and married in Greene Coun-ty, Penn. In 1833 they moved from Pennsylva-nia to south of Quincy un-til 1848 when the moved to Lewis County, Mo. Names of others buried in the cemetery include Martin, Clifton, Fee, Car-lin, Hawkins, Justice and Starkey,

There are 13 Cliftons buried in the cemetery. Alfred Clifton purchased one half acre of land from John L. and Katherine A.

Carlin, Sept. 11, 1880, for the purpose of the cem-etery. At that time there were 20 unmarked graves in the cemetery. Mrs. In-gram shares some of her family Civil War history in another article in this edition.

Rush did some prelimi-nary work, such as cutting a few trees and replacing fence posts. The cem-etery was so overgrown, it would take a crew of people to complete the job.

Kenny Rush, who works at the Heartland farm, en-listed the help of some of the young men who attend Heartland Bible College,

The Carlin-Fee cemetery during clean up by Kenneth Rush of LaBelle and four Heartland Bible College students. The men cleaned up the neglected cemetery located in rural Williamstown.

Cemetery clean-up continued...

The Carlin-Fee cemetery in rural Williamstown was overgrown so much that many tombstones were hidden in the brush. A descendant of some of those buried in the area, Joyce Ingram, made the effort to have it cleaned up.

who were trying to earn money to help with a mis-sion trip to South Dakota.

The young men and Mr. Rush worked on the cem-etery for a couple of week-ends in November. They cleared the trees, uncov-ered tombstones, burned brush and cleaned up the area.

Jeremy Deacon, 22, of Beardstown, Ill., came to the Heartland community a few years ago and is now enrolled in the college. He wants to tell his story of how he came to Heartland. As a child he grew up in an alcoholic environment. As a teen, he realized his

life needed help. He found Heartland by looking in his Dad’s phone. An older brother had sought out Heartland’s help, but only stayed with the program for one day. Somehow his Dad had kept the num-ber, Jeremy was looking through the numbers on his dad’s phone when he came across Heartland’s. Jeremy called after real-izing he needed a change. He said he was not a re-ligious person, but he needed a bigger force than himself to change. He went through Heartland’s program. He completed the program and is now in college. He encourages anyone who needs help to reach out. The Heartland program has changed his life and he gladly shares his story so that others in his situation or wanting to change, to tell them there is a way out and people at Heartland will help them.

Chris Manning says he was a bad child, who knew it all and was on the wrong path. As sort of a last re-sort, his parents sent him through the Heartland pro-gram. Although he says he thought he would never fi nd God, he is now hap-py to serve. The program changed his life and after fi nishing college he hopes to join the Marines.

Daniel Pinon came to Heartland Bible College after speaking with a col-lege recruiter. He says he chose Heartland College because he felt it was a calling from God and al-lows the fl ame that was burning inside him to burn brighter and be of service to others. He plans to be-come a policeman.

Another student, Lance Bock, helped with the cemetery project, but wasn’t available the day

the other young men were interviewed.

The young men all have great attitudes and were working hard on the cem-etery clean up and were glad to be helping and also happy to earn money for their mission trip. They all look forward to becom-ing productive adults and helping others.

The mission trip to South Dakota is Dec. 13 to 17. They will be serv-ing food and taking care of native Americans. They are to pour concrete, do drywall and landscaping for the church in that area. They will also bring pres-ents and clothing to the native American children. They were all looking for-ward to the trip. Heartland has a program called Rent a Student, where some-one needing work done can contact the school and students will help with a project to earn money for mission trips.

Joyce Ingram is very happy she was able to fi nd

someone to clean up the neglected cemetery that is a link to her family histo-ry. She plans to visit Lewis County in the spring and see the completed project and place a sign with the

cemetery’s name on it and hopefully generations to come will be able to locate an ancestor’s fi nal resting place. Joyce Ingram lives in Raytown, Mo., a suburb of Kanas City.

The tombstone of Lieut. John Fee is now visible at the Carlin-Fee cemetery in Williamstown. (See re-lated article elsewhere in this edition). The impres-sive stone reads Lieut. John Fee of The War of 1861. Joyce Ingram, a de-scendent, says that he was her great-grandfather’s youngest brother and she has this information: John Fee was Lieutenant in the Civil War on the Union side. 21st Regiment of Volunteers, Company K - Lewis Co. April 3, 1863.

Joyce Ingram shared the following Civil War stories about her great grandfather, Daniel Fee as told by his daughter and Ingram’s great aunt, Florence Cruickshank. Daniel Fee was living in Clark County during the war, presumably near the Clark and Lewis County line. He later lived on the northwest corner of the in-tersection close to Route E. His sister, Jane Fee-Carlin lived northwest of the Carlin-Fee cemetery, south of the county line.

“He served during the Civil War in the Missouri Enrolled Militia. Grandpa Fee barely escaped death on two different occa-sions. Once on the road, when he saw mounted confederate soldiers, he hid and they didn’t see him. Again, at a political meeting he narrowly es-caped.

The countryside was foraged by small groups of confederate soldiers, to support the confeder-ate cause, and there were guerrilla bands, besides the infamous Quantrill.

The tombstone of Lieut. John Fee reads of The War of 1861. Sort of unusual because the Civil War is not usually referred to as such. The fi nal resting place of Lt. Fee is at the Carlin-Fee cemetery in Williamstown.

They stole and butchered cattle and they stole hors-es. Grandpa had a team of horses stolen during the war, as well as, a pony, which he got back later.

Daniel built a hideout on the meadow. He construct-ed a pen with poles and covered it with slew grass and fi nished it with prairie hay. It looked like all the other haystacks. One could go in and out at the bot-tom. He spent some time in this commodious biv-ouac during those hectic years. He would hide and sleep during the daytime, and slip out at night and do his chores, hoe corn, pull weeds, etc.”

A family story involv-ing Ingram’s great-grand-mother Elizabeth has been passed down through the generations.

“Uncle Homer Fee re-lated a story about how in 1915, Grandma Elizabeth Fee, while sitting in her rocking chair, told the four Fee brothers of an incident which occurred during the Civil War.

Early one morning she looked out and in rode forty or more men in gray and they tethered their horses to the fence. They dismounted and the cap-tain ordered her to get them their breakfast. She cleaned off the top of the old cookstove and made pancakes for the men, in a way known now as mass production. The cap-tain questioned grandma, “Where is your husband?” She said, “I don’t know.” He said, “If we fi nd him, what do you want us to do with him, bring him to you or leave him where we fi nd him?” Grandma replied, “Just leave him where you fi nd him.” The Captain turned to his men and said, “Don’t any of

you men dare lay a fi nger on this woman.” Southern chivalry! That confeder-ate offi cer probably had a praying mother at home.

The soldiers searched the place thoroughly for guns or anything worth taking. Aunt Florence Fee Cruickshank told that Grandma had some guns hidden so well the soldiers never found them.”

Governor Pat Quinn welcomed the newest members of the Illinois Conservation Police at a graduation cer-emony in their honor at the Illinois Department of Natu-ral Resources. The 14 recruits completed 24 weeks of intense general law enforcement training and specifi c conservation police training totaling nearly 1,000 hours to prepare them for their new jobs.

“Illinois Conservation Police are among the most di-versely trained law enforcement units in all of Illinois, and I am very proud of the hard work and dedication these men and women have already displayed to get here today. I am equally as proud of each and every one of them for serving our country in the armed forces be-fore returning home to protect the Land of Lincoln once again,” said Governor Quinn.

The 14 offi cers (including Aaron Jansen, son of Mi-chael and Rose Marie Jansen of Liberty, Ill., and grand-son of Ben. C and Delores Wood of Canton, Mo.) form just the ninth Conservation Police offi cer (CPO) class in the last 19 years, the fi rst class of new CPOs since 2007, and the fi rst class to be made up entirely of mili-tary veterans.

“We are thrilled to have these young men and women as a part of the Illinois DNR. Conservation Police are not just vital to protecting our wildlife and other natural resources, but also to protecting and serving the public in ways far beyond outdoor recreation safety and en-forcement,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller.

Conservation Police offi cer recruits are fi rst required to attend the Illinois State Police (ISP) Academy for ba-

Minutes from the City of LaBelle. Minutes are edited for publication. A full copy of the minutes can be obtained from the City of LaBelle.

The LaBelle Board of Aldermen met Oct. 8. Present were aldermen Roy Lewis, Cecil Morrow, Justin Parrish, Benny Kaylor, Christopher Parrish and Debra Hudnut-City Clerk. President of Board Paul Harvey presided at the meeting.

In the mayor’s report, President of Board Paul Harvey advised they are still having dog and horse problems in town, two water leaks have been fi xed, the city crew has been working on the northeast lift station for the last week and will be working on it this week again, the chip and seal street work is done for this year and the soil is getting tested from the city lake and we need to see about writing up a bid to put in the local paper on the lake property for next year.

ObituaryQuincy Regional Sleep Disorders Support Group to Meet

The Quincy Regional Sleep Disorders Support Group will meet on Tuesday, Dec. 18, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the Blessing Sleep Lab on the lower level of the Bank of Quincy, located at 12th and Broadway. This month’s meeting will be the annual Christmas party. There will be refreshments, games and door prizes. This is a great opportunity to talk with other CPAP users, hear advice and get helpful tips. At this meeting the organizers would also like feedback and suggestions for upcoming support group meeting topics.

This support group meeting will be helpful for anyone currently using sleep apnea therapy, those just beginning therapy or those with questions about sleep apnea. Please join, all are welcome.

The Support Group is sponsored by The Blessing Sleep Center in association with the American Sleep Apnea Association, and the AWAKE (Alert, Well And Keeping Energetic) network.

For more information or to join the mailing list, please call The Blessing Sleep Center’s dedicated support group voicemail at (217) 277-5397.

The support group is open to anyone who is dealing with any form of sleep disorder or sleep apnea, and individuals who have or currently are using CPAP treatment. Family members and friends are also encouraged to attend.

Blessing Hospital has earned a place on The Leapfrog Group’s annual list of Top Rural Hospitals, the fi rst Illinois hospital to ever make the list. The announcement came at Leapfrog’s Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, on Tuesday, December 4, 2012.

The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofi t organization of large purchasers of health care, dedicated to encouraging improvements in the safety, quality, and affordability of health care for Americans.

Blessing Hospital was selected as a Top Rural Hospital out of nearly 1,200 hospitals participating in The Leapfrog Group’s annual survey. This year, the Top Rural Hospital list includes a record 13 hospitals.

The selection is based on the results of The Leapfrog Group’s annual hospital survey, which measures hospitals’ performance on patient safety and quality, focusing on three critical areas of hospital care: how patients fare, resource use, and management structures in place to prevent errors. The results of the survey are posted on a website (http://www.leapfroggroup.org/cp) open to patients and families, the public, employers, and other purchasers of healthcare.

Blessing Hospital named a 2012 Leapfrog Top Rural Hospital

This is the second honor received by Blessing Hospital from The Leapfrog Group. On November 28, Blessing earned an “A” Hospital Safety Score from Leapfrog. The A score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety ScoreSM, the A, B, C, D or F scores assigned to U.S. hospitals based on preventable medical errors, injuries accidents, and infections. The Hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.

Of 2,620 hospitals nationwide receiving grades, only 791 (30 percent) received an A. In Illinois, of the 118 hospitals given grades, 51 (43 percent) received an A.

To see Blessing Hospital’s scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, which also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay. People can also check their local hospital’s score on the free mobile app, available at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org.

Where Caring Makes A DifferenceWhere Our Family is Your Family

We would like to thank

everyone who shared our 50th Anniversary

with us. Th anks for all the cards, gift s & just

being there.Earl & Joyce FeldkampCulver-Stockton Col-

lege was ranked by U.S. News and World Report as the 53rd most Connect-ed Campus in the country. Culver-Stockton scored higher than any other school in Missouri, Illi-nois or Iowa. Of the 1471 schools that submitted connectivity data, Culver-Stockton’s ranking placed the school in the top four percent of the nation.

U.S. News and World Report used four equally-weighted criteria in de-termining rank: Internet speed, Internet Access, Application of Technol-

C-SC Ranked In Top 4 Percent As Nations Most Technologically Connected Campus

ogy and Resources Avail-able. Each category was broken into subcatego-ries, including percent-age of dormitory rooms with wireless access and online learning manage-ment systems available to students. Online access to resources, such as library materials, and student ac-cess to cloud data storage were also accounted for.

The data used to deter-mine rank was the same data collected during the spring and summer of 2012, which is primarily used to rank the overall quality of undergradu-

ate programs in the “Best Colleges” rankings. Since, Culver-Stockton has only advanced technologically, nearly doubling the band-width speed, increasing from 70 megabits/second to 120 megabits/second. This bandwidth increase was not accounted for in the recent ranking.

Staying technologically current is a major focus for Culver-Stockton. The school’s curriculum is technology-based, and professors have been giv-en the task to constantly create new ways to utilize technology in the class-

room. For a listing of the

methodology used by U.S. News and World Report to rank schools, go to:

I know lots of families

are facing hard times

during this holiday sea-

son, and I certainly know

what that is like. I was fifty

years old when I lost ab-

solutely everything. I was

bankrupt and broke, plus

I still owed several mil-

lion dollars that couldn’t be

discharged. Officers of the

court came and took all my

belongings from furniture

and dishes to my car. Even

worse, I had lost the com-

pany I founded, and I had

lost my family.

Of course, the biggest

problem of all was that

I had lost out with God

years before. That was the

root of all my problems,

but I couldn’t see that. All

I could see was that I had

become a total failure.

Starting over at my

age looked impossible, and

I asked God to let me die.

When I woke up the next

morning and realized He

hadn’t done that, I decided

to go to work. I couldn’t

think of anything else to

do, so I got dressed and

went out to sell some in-

surance. For the next eight

years, I sold insurance six

days a week for the people

who had taken over my

company.

Eventually, by the

mercy of God and the help

of tremendous friends, I

bought the company back.

It was a total miracle, and

I knew that. But I didn’t

know why God allowed it.

I still wasn’t serving Him.

Yet He had something

much bigger in mind than

my life.

God was looking ahead

to thousands of other peo-

ple who would find them-

selves in that same hope-

less state. He had a plan to

provide them a place where

they could get a fresh start

in life. A place where they

could find a job, a home,

and a relationship with Je-

sus Christ. So many people

have found those things at

Heartland. As we celebrate

this Christmas season, I

am so grateful for all God

has done. Those years of

struggle were nothing

compared to the wonder of

seeing lives changed, fami-

lies restored, and people set

right with God.

If you are having a

tough time this year, we’d

like to invite you to come

visit us. Have a cup of cof-

fee in the café, take a tour

of the dairy, or slip into a

seat at one of our church

services. You’ll find some-

one in all of those places

who would be glad to help

you out. All you have to do

is ask.

We pray this will be

the year when you get the best Christmas present ever—a fresh start in life.
