It’s that time of year again- time for the “Ho-ho” of Lewis Co. to deliver gifts to the residents taking part in the Adopt-a-Family program. On Friday, Dec. 21, Judy Eaton and a group of jolly workers passed out gifts at the Canton United Methodist Church. The Adopt-a-Family program has been bringing joy to the holidays for several years in and around Lewis Co. Local residents choose to adpot a family and are given a list in which the child of the household is described merely by sex and age and three possible gift choices are given. Though there are suggested gifts, other donations such as bath towels, clothing, etc., can be very useful in the home. This is where Stacey Nicholas from Douglass Community Services says that Lewis Co. residents go “above and beyond.” She describes giving families asking what more they can buy for the family in need. “This only works because of great community support,” added Nicholas. “Lewis Co. is a county that really cares about their children.” Unknown to many, the majority of the families participating in the Adopt-a- Family program are working families or students. Often these working families are only working part-time jobs or full-time at minimum wage. Part of the program is to attend a two-hour educational course on money habits. This way, not only are the families receiving gifts based on financial needs, they’re also receiving information on ways to better their financial standing. The process in which the applications are taken, families are chosen, gifts are received and given out is split into three parts. Stacey Nicholas handles the processing of applications and suggesting gifts. Pastor Amanda Ross from the Canton United Methodist Church handles the sorting of the gifts and NECAC’s Judy Eaton is responsible for passing them out to families.

New hope for a New Year
EDITORIAL NEWS
This poem was submitted by Alan Koch, Principal of Highland High School in response to all those in Lewis County affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy.
Twas 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38When 20 beautiful children stormed through Heaven’s gate.Their smiles were contagious, their laughter fi lled the air.They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.The were fi lled with such joy,They didn’t know what to say.They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“Where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.“This is heaven.” declared a small boy. “We’re spending Christmas at God’s house!”When what to their wondering eyes did appear,but Jesus, their Savior, the children gathered near.He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only Heaven can bringThose children all fl ew into the arms of their KingAnd as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,One calm girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.And as if He could read all the questions she hadHe gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
Then He looked down on earth, the world far belowHe saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe.Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!”“May this country be delivered from the hands of fools”“I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!”
Then He and the children stood up without a sound.“Come now my children, let me show you around.”Excitement fi lled the space, some skipped and some ran.All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,“In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT!”

Over the years, I’ve made several resolu-tions. Some of which, I’ve followed through and achieved, but the major-ity of which have fallen by the wayside as I con-tinued with my daily life. This year, my hopes are that I will be able to truly achieve every goal that I set for myself. Some may take months for me to fully achieve while oth-ers may take days. Either way, I plan on striving hard to reach them (hope-fully without stressing myself to the max).
Although I’m still working on my list of goals, I have quite a few goals that relate towards my daughter. I both can and can’t wait to get her potty-trained for the same reason- no more diapers. I look forward to no longer needing to change or buy diapers, but at the same time, once out of diapers, Amaya is offi cially out of the ‘baby’ stage. I’m thrilled to see her growing up, but with how quickly time has passed, it also makes me sad. Also, I’d like to spend more time doing creative things with Amaya. Drawing, build-ing, crafts, etc. I want her to be well-rounded once she begins going to school, so the more that I can teach her while she’s at home, the happier I will be. Most importantly, I want to learn how to bet-ter handle her INSANE tantrums. Thankfully, a very sweet and wonder-ful reader did provide me with a letter that offers a ray of hope into my ter-rible two’s dark abyss. I look forward to using some of the ‘tricks’ she explained as well as doing some more research on other methods that might
COMMENT
be useful. As far as the goals that
relate mostly to me, I could probably list things for days. A few that I’m really set on achieving is becoming more organized, always having a diaper bag with EVERYTHING that is needed stocked for Amaya’s Nannie to keep her, taking care of things as soon as they happen and if unable, noting them down and taking care of them at the fi rst possible opportunity, getting rid of my “mama pooch,” and spending more time doing something creative such as writing, crafts, etc. Al-though I love a good story, (and good television is almost the equivalent of a good book in my eyes) I do watch too many pro-grams. I want to write my own story, create that beautiful decorative item that perfectly fi ts in my living room, or learn to play the guitar. I don’t want to see myself wast-ing any more of my time on something that I won’t remember a week from now. More than anything, I want to always remain thankful of the blessings that I have in my life and work as hard as possible to not take those blessings for granted.

Hulsebus manned a machine gun and continued to fire until injured when the Japanese continued to attack the Panay. Great difficulties were encountered in getting the wounded out of the locality where the bombing took place because of the fear of receiving Japanese attacks. The Japanese government acknowledged full responsibility for sinking of the United State gunboat Panay by Japanese planes, said the flying squadron commander had been punished and assured the American government “definite and specific steps” had been taken to prevent a reoccurrence. The funeral of Jess Montgomery Bagby was held at Lewistown Methodist Church Friday. He was a harness merchant at Lewistown for 40 years.

The place here known as the millinery store of Miss Ed Roberts, changed over night to a wide awake lunch room and will be known henceforth as the Bee Hive Lunch Parlor, where hungry bees can flock to the hive and be fed. They opened for business Saturday when hats changed to pies in the twinkling of an eye. LaBelle.

Word reached here Thursday that the first of Lewis County’s drafted boys to five his life for
the service of his country was Dick Hemming, who died at Camp Kearney, Calif, from measles and bronchial pneumonia. His remains will be sent back to Canton for burial. All bakeries in the United States, including those of hotels, restaurants and clubs, and excepting only the small neighborhood maker of bread who used fewer than ten barrels of flour a month, are required to come under federal license after Dec. 10 by a proclamation issued by President Wilson. Under its regulations the food administration will standardize bread making and Administrator Hover expects to force prices for pound loaves downward, probably to seven or eight cents. Fancy breads are to be eliminated, loaves are to be in one and a half, two and four pounds sizes and the sugar content is to be cut down from six to three pounds per barrel of flour.

For 30 years the Journal has tried to give the local news. Away back near the middle 70s, R. E. Hicks drove into Monticello with an old-fashioned worn out Army press and a few cases of type. Even then fate seemed to be against the starting of a paper in Monticello as far as the editor was unloading, all the type was pied in the street. But never-the-less the Lewis County Journal was ground out to 100 subscribers by it determined editor. Joe Pohl, the popular business man of Williamstown, is building him a fine home in the southeastern part of that hustling little city.

There eight contestants at he Minter and Dowell declamatory contest last Saturday night at LaBelle. The medal
was awarded to Miss Gertie Richardson. Her selection was An Old Man’s Prayer. This is the fourth annual Minter and Dowell gold medal contest. There were all new hands at the bellows, none having ever before entered a contest of this kind. Steffenville: Miss Rosa Allen returned home Friday from near Bethel in Shelby County where she taught a four month school term. Our public schools have 107 enrolled scholars. Teachers are E.A. Dent and Mrs. T. L. Scott. James Dirkin, the oldest bachelor who lived near St. Patrick in Clark County and who was found dead in his bed last Tuesday a week, was an Irishman who had lived the life of a hermit for the past 30 years. With his scanty and worn out furniture and cooking utensils and perhaps more scanty cupboard he has managed to keep his own house and subsist for many years. In his pocket was found $529.15 in money and a check of deposit in the Bank of Canton for $1,500 and under an old barrel in the pantry $4,970 in greenbacks. Besides all this money he had a farm of 320 acres. His body was buried near his house and Hon. J. M. Wood was appointed by Probate Court administrator of the estate. Canton is negotiating for a pickle factory; Mayor Munday has donated a lot toward that enterprise. The people of Monticello substituted a Snow House with a number of cedar trees in the yard, for the regular Christmas tree and the design was a good one. The house was about eight by twelve feet in size, made of cotton, with a small cedar tree at either front corner and a large tree in the rear, representing a real snow house and Christmas yard. The presents were artistically arranged within and about the house.

Corey Moon and Stacie Sagaser would like to an-nounce their wedding engagement. Sagaser is the daughter of Steve and Merrill Sagaser of Atlanta, Mo., and currently teaches third grade in the Atlanta C-3 School District.
Moon is the son of Terry and Julie Moon of Canton, Mo., and is employed by the Bruce Normile Juvenile Justice Center in Kirksville and is attending the Univer-sity of Missouri School of Law.
The couple has planned a destination wedding on December 27, 2012 on the island of St. Lucia. A recep-tion for family and friends is planned for a later date.
A Missouri pastor and veteran newspaperman has been named the new advertising coordinator for The Pathway, the paper announced Dec. 13.
“Dan Steinbeck brings a unique skill set to our team, having worked in journalism for more than 35 years and as a Missouri Southern Baptist bi-vocational pastor,” said Pathway Editor Don Hinkle. “He brings a level of expertise that will serve this ministry well and we are blessed to have him join us.”
Steinbeck comes from a newspa-per family, one which owned The Press-News Journal in Canton until it was sold in 2010. His duties there included writing, photography, lay-out, advertising sales and manage-ment responsibilities. Since 2001, Steinbeck has been pastor of South-ern Baptist Fellowship Church in Wayland. Prior to serving as a pastor he was a member of First Baptist Church, Canton, where he taught fi fth and sixth grade Sunday school for 20 years and was a lay leader for an off-campus Baptist Student Union.
“I believe in the importance of journalism and I believe in the

importance of Christians being involved in journalism,” Stein-beck said. “I am keenly aware I represent the Lord Jesus Christ in everything I do. As a pastor I am committed to fulfi lling The Great Commission and I whole-heartily support the Cooperative Program. I look forward to serv-ing Missouri Southern Baptists and Pathway advertisers.”
Steinbeck and his wife of 26 years, Carla, have two children, Andrew, a student at Truman State University and Shannon, a sophomore at Canton R-V School.
Advertisers may reach Stein-beck at 573-288-3043 or 217-242-8640 or at [email protected].
Steinbeck begins his new du-ties Jan. 1. He joins The Path-way staff just as the newspaper embarks on its second decade of service as the Missouri Baptist Convention’s offi cial newspaper. Also beginning Jan. 1, The Path-way will become an open cir-culation newspaper and will no longer charge for subscriptions. Anyone wishing to have a free
Pathway mailed to their home, church or business every two weeks may call The Pathway offi ce at 573-636-0400, Ext. 231.
Mackenzie Bock on Central Methodist University Dean’s ListList recognition, one must be enrolled as a full time student and achieve a 3.5 or higher grade point av-erage on the University’s 4.0 scale, according to Dr. Rita Gulstad, vice presi-dent and dean of CMU.
Founded in 1854, Cen-tral Methodist programs range from undergradu-ate and graduate studies to high-school dual credit offerings. Serving more than 5,000 students on its historic main campus in
Fayette, through collab-orative programs at loca-tions across Missouri, and online, the CMU mission emphasizes academic and professional excellence, ethical leadership, and so-cial responsibility.
