On Jan. 28, Culver-Stockton marks 160 years as an institu-tion. The school is celebrating by declaring the day Nation-al Blue Day. All alumni and friends of the College are en-couraged to wear blue to show their support of C-SC.

On Jan. 28, 1853, the Mis-souri legislature approved the charter for a Disciples of Christ affi liated school, Christian Uni-versity. In 1918, the school was renamed Culver-Stockton Col-lege to honor major donors to the school, Mary Culver and

Robert Stockton. During the past 160 years, the school has persevered through its share of hardships: Both Confeder-ate and Union troops occupied campus during the Civil War; at least three school build-ings have been completely de-stroyed due to fi re, including “Old Main,” which at the time was the school’s only building; a tornado tore through cam-pus, leveling the Joe Charles Field House, where just hours before hundreds of people had sat watching graduation. Now,

looking back, Culver-Stockton honors those tribulations as events that have shaped the path of the College.

The school has also seen historic events and landmark achievements. C-SC was the fi rst school west of the Missis-sippi River to be chartered spe-cifi cally for co-education, and it also boasts the oldest fraternity west of the river. Honored visi-tors to campus include Eleanor Roosevelt and Ronald Regan, among many others. More im-portantly, over the years, over

25,000 students have graduated from C-SC.

For National Blue Day, there will be festivities around cam-pus, including a birthday cake for the College and a photo of all current students. There are also events planned through-out the course of the year to commemorate this historic an-niversary, including this year’s Homecoming theme, “Refl ec-tions of Blue and White.”

A few years ago, many Lewis Co., residents didn’t have many options when it came to recycling. Some residents might’ve trav-eled to Quincy, while others might’ve just thrown their recyclables into the trash.

This changed in 2009 when Culver-Stockton students began asking former Mayor Joe Clark why Canton had no recycling program. Soon, Canton City offi cials began exploring options that would allow the city to offer such a program.

In the beginning, volun-teers collected recycling in a trailer, but as word of the center spread, more resi-dents began pouring in with their recyclables. Offi cials then responded by apply-ing for a grant through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Once the grant money was received, the recycling center put the funds into buying a forklift and a bailer- a machine that can take large amounts of plastics and cardboard and press them into large cubes. Growth continued, and soon

Ayerco gave the center and volunteers permission to use the property at 509 N. 4th St. in Canton. Before long, Ayer-co donated the property to the cause.

The center is only open on Saturdays and is run by vol-unteers. The site has no heat, so during the winter months, the volunteers must dress warmly while braving the cold. Volunteers spend their time assisting people with their recycling, bailing, sort-ing, etc., as they assist the possible 40-50 people on any given Saturday. Over the last four years those people have contributed about 159 tons of recycled goods have been

shipped out of Canton, with all of the funds going directly back into the Recycling Cen-ter.

The recycling center ac-cepts newspapers and non-slick catalogues (such as phone books), offi ce papers and shredded offi ce paper, magazines, catalogs, slick inserts, cardboard boxes and chipboard boxes and #1 and #2 plastics as well as tin and aluminum cans. The center doesn’t ship other types of plastic or glass due to the cost being too high.

Canton City Clerk Cindy Kell is thankful off all the supporters. “We have to thank the people and the businesses.

And without the property, we wouldn’t be able to do it.”

The Canton Recycling Cen-ter is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For those who would like to participate or volunteer, contact Cindy Kell or La Trisha Crist at City Hall 573-288-4413. Volunteers to assist with sorting are needed.

Kell does ask a few things of those wanting to recycle though, “Please be sure to take the lids off your plastic bottles. Our bailer can’t crush them with the lids on.” And also, “Please don’t leave your recycling outside our building during the week. It gets every-where.”

The Comfort Inn in Canton will become Cen-terstone Inn this week. In a press release fol-lowing their announce-ment of a new property in Iowa, Centerstone has announced another hotel opening with a Center-stone Inn in Canton, Mo., with a grand opening date of Feb. 1, 2013.

The 60-room Center-stone Inn is owned by Eagle Ridge Hospitalities, LLC and is located at 1701 Oak Street in Canton. As the former Comfort Inn, the Centerstone Inn con-tinues with the same own-ers, management, and staff, offering the same accommodations with en-hanced amenities. The driving force for the brand change was to continue to offer affordable pricing to guests.

“Choosing to become a Centerstone was an easy decision for us because they are quite simply, the most franchise friendly brand available. Not only that, but the level of per-

Comfort Inn in Canton to become Centerstone Inn

sonal and professional support they give you is just unlike any other brand out there,” said Bob Rehm Sr., Managing Member of Eagle Ridge Hospitalities.

“We are thrilled to have this property in our system. Not only is it a beautiful hotel but it is also in an awesome loca-tion where there is a ton to do. Our continued growth is because of our franchise friendly model featuri ng the best deal terms in the industry coupled with a great reservations system and revenue generating programs,” said Steve Belmonte, CEO of Center-stone’s Vimana Franchise Systems.

Centerstone plans to announce the opening of two to three more proper-ties by the end of Febru-ary 2013. With several properties already under the Centerstone brand fl ag along with their Key West Chain of resorts, reserva-tions can be made online at www.centerstonehotels.com.

Culver-Stockton Col-lege saw an impressive increase of charitable do-nations in the month of December, marking the college’s most successful December in fi ve years. Giving totals ended over $647,000, with a 35 per-cent increase from De-cember 2011. Donations received during the month also marked the second best fundraising result in the last decade.

The increase in dona-tions can be attributed to the comprehensive fund-raising campaign, “A Vi-sion for Our Future.” The campaign runs through June 2014, and its ob-jective is to enhance the overall student experi-ence and support enroll-ment growth opportuni-ties through development in fi ve major areas: stu-dent scholarships, a stron-

December donations to C-SC highest in five years; second best in a decade

ger endowment, campus beautifi cation and paving, renovations to the Carl Johann Memorial Li-brary, and the addition of a Recreation and Wellness Center. The campaign has drawn increasing levels of support, but more will be needed to reach its overall goal of $10.4 million.

Alumni and friend sup-port is vital to C-SC. Cul-ver-Stockton accepts no federal or state monetary assistance, and therefore all operating costs and campus improvements are funded by C-SC’s own revenue sources, including private donations. Culver-Stockton is only one of a few colleges or universi-ties in the country to take this position.

This weekend, I got to experience a new form of fun with my little girl. For Christmas, one of the many presents my daugh-ter received was a round, plastic table with an oven attachment and a con-tainer in the center of the table which can hold all the plates, spoons, plastic food, etc., that came with the set. (Some of you may have seen the commercial for this table.)

Since Christmas, it has seemed like Amaya’s only goal has been to see just how badly she can destroy her new playroom. More often than not, I walk into a room covered with plas-tic utensils, plastic balls, legos, stuffed animals, etc. On most of these days, I simply leave it as it is. At the moment, she doesn’t have a box to put these toys away in for this room, so trying to teach her to put the toys with their specifi c set seems nearly impossible for a two-year-old. But, once a week, I do go in pick it up for her, simply because, in my personal opinion, my make-believe tea parties would make much more sense if the table isn’t turned upside down.

On one of these nights, I began to see the fi rst real signs of my daugh-ter’s imagination- which nearly made me cry. As I was sitting on the couch, Amaya toddled over to me holding a little plastic pot. Looking up at me and grinning, she fi rmly said, “Bite bites, mama.”

I happily took the emp-ty pot, but responded, “Mama needs a fork or spoon to eat this bite bite baby.”

I didn’t expect her to understand, and when she

ran off giggling, I assumed she hadn’t. I was proven wrong. She came back holding both a spoon and a fork. Taking the spoon and leaving her the little fork, we sat at the coffee table and shared the best imaginary meal I’ve had in years. I felt as though I had found heaven here on earth. I could already see dressing her up in little pink tutu’s and tiaras with long fake pearls around her neck as she sips an empty tea cup while being surrounded by teddy bears and baby dolls.

Looking down at Ama-ya, I rubbed my belly and told her she had cooked a “good bite bite.” As I handed the bowl back to her, she tilted her head a bit and stared at me strangely. Within seconds, the bowl had fl own across the liv-ing room, along with the spoon, the fork, and any-thing else Amaya could get her hands on. Franti-cally, I tried explaining that we had fi nished all the food, but nothing eased it. After a few moments, she was a fl opping, screaming blob on the fl oor. Mother-hood…

On the 20th of last month, Lafe Long, who occupies the James Ker-kin farm near St. Patrick, made another discovery of treasure, the fi nal being gold coin to the amount of $990. It was discovered under a large stone in the hearth of the fi replace, and was in three sacks, $500 was in a yarn sack and $200 in another and every coin was dated prior to 1861, the dates and the appearances of the sacks indicting that they had been buried since the be-ginning of the war. The

remaining $290 was in a sack of woolen cloth, the coins mostly dated since 1873. Mr. Long conveyed the money to the admin-istrator J.M. Wood at this city, This makes $6,000 or $8,000 that has been found. Kahoka Herold

Editor Journal: Dear Sir: I agree with you that the war history of our four northeastern counties is a one-sided affair. Take for instance the account of the fi ght at Athens, where it is stated, the federal forces captured 400 or 500 hors-es, wagon loads of pro-vision, etc. Here are the facts, briefl y stated: be-fore reaching Athens, Col. Green formed his men in lines and counted them 480 strong, every fourth man being detailed to hold horses. After making the attack Maj. Shacklett’s forces seemed to be hotly engaged. Col. Green sent Capt. W.S. Richardson’s company to sustain him. On withdrawal of our forc-es Richardson retired with Maj. Shacklett, hence lost a part of their horses not to exceed 40 as some were brought off by our men. As regards their capture of wagons, provisions, bag-gage, etc., it is all fi ction as we had none there, all our baggage was left on Fox River seven miles dis-tant and under guard. The account of our wonderful stampede, ditto. I was in Col. Green’s immediate command, perhaps heard every order he gave, and retired with him at our leisure. Resp’t M.M. Bu-ford, LaBelle, Mo. Jan. 14, 1888. (Note: This is only a portion of the letter, but covers the most important part.)

The Lewis County C-1 Board met on Jan.9, 2013. Submitted minutes are edited. A complete copy of the minutes can be ob-tained at the Lewis County C-1 Central offi ce.

The Board approved an updated substitute list. Approval was given for the resignation of Kerri Leeser and for a contract for Chance Raleigh, eighth grade CA teacher; Kyle Ellison, JV boy’s basket-ball coach and assistant varsity boy’s basketball coach and Kenny Grubb, JV girls basketball coach and assistant varsity girl’s basketball coach.

The Board received cop-ies of district policies that reference appropriate con-duct/behavior for students and patrons attending any school function or who are on school property. They included Policy KK, visi-tors to district property/events; Policy CF, school building administration; Policy CHCA, hand-books; and Policy KK-AP, visitors to district property events. The board directed the superintendent to in-vestigate the legal ramifi -cations of the Policy DJF-Purchasing, due to the bidding process required.

The Board discussed the purchasing of the infi eld materials for the varsity softball fi eld and directed Mr. Buening to move for-ward.

Lewis County Sher-iff, David Parrish, gave the Board an informative summation of the safety within the Lewis County C-1 District. Superinten-dent Ebeling reported to the board how closely the sheriff’s department has

Lewis County C-1 Board Minutes

worked with the district. The Sheriff’s Department is an active participant in the procedures of the dis-trict’s Crisis Plan. Sheriff Parrish discussed he pos-sibility of employing a School Resource Offi cer for the district. The cost for this employment would be shared between his de-partment and the school district. He stressed that the County Commission-ers desire to do whatever they can to help. The C-1 School District is unusual when compared in loca-tion to other schools that are within city limits and have a police force more readily available, where, in the situation of the C-1 district, the potential re-sponse time could be up to 30 minutes. The advan-tages of having a School Resource Offi cer was dis-cussed and more discus-sion with the Commis-sioners, sheriff and school district will be held.

A workshop entitled School Intruder Response will be held on Jan. 30. STRATEGOS Interna-tional trains staff and em-ployees on the procedures to bridge the gag between responding offi cers and school faculty, administra-tors and other school per-sonnel in an active shooter situation. The training will be held Jan. 30 and school will not be in session that day.

Ryan Christian, band director, shared the experi-ences he and his students had during their trip to Florida to appear in the Gator Bowl activities. Three students, Morgan Bringer, McKayla Mur-phy and Ryan Waterman

spoke about their experi-ence and they opportuni-ties they had for meeting students from Florida and other schools, seeing the ocean and the general at-mosphere of accomplish-ing something that they would carry for the rest of their lives. Mr. Chris-tian commented several times that the most ben-efi cial part of the trip for him was seeing the posi-tive effects he saw in his

students. He would see behaviors of students from other schools which rein-forced for him how happy he was to be with his stu-dents.

On Dec. 14, FFA Of-fi cers and Angie Ham-lin went to Canton for the Ursa Farmers Grand Opening. They assisted with serving lunch, park-ing cars and working the registration table. There were presented a donation

of $2000 per year for the next fi ve years.

There isl be a School In Improvement Committee meeting on Jan. 25 at 5:30 pm. This committee pro-vides input and assistance to the future of the district.

The Board voted to in-crease the pay for sub-stitute paraprofessionals from $45 per day to $60 per day beginning imme-diately.

The superintendent rec-ommended that a post-

ponement of the CSIP work to be done until after the School In Improve-ment Committee meets. The Board determined that board meetings would return to the past schedule of meeting on the second Wednesday of each month with closed session if needed, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with ope session to follow at 6 p.m. Meetings will continue to be held in the Media Center at High-land High School.

Background and education:Born and raised in La Grange. Went

I have one brother and three nephews, my parents, and one grand mother that live in La Grange. Currently work for the City of La Grange as Water Superintendent for 7 years. I am also assistant Fire Chief for the La Grange Fire Department. And have been a member of the fi re depart-ment for little over 10 years. I also work part time at Orschelns Farm and Home.

For all their efforts we send donations to support their group. The fi sh frys will begin on Friday, Feb. 15 and be held every other Friday, ending on Good Friday.

What can you tell us about being a member of the LaGrange Fire Depart-ment?

The La Grange Fire Department has been a experience that I will never for-get, to be involved in public service and helping the people of our community is a honor I am proud to say I am a part of. Rather we are going to a house fi re or to another state for disaster relief when it comes to helping others that is what we are here for. I encourage anyone who wants to know any thing about the fi re department to stop and ask. We have also started a Facebook page so the commu-nity can see what we do and have done. So take a second and look up - La Grange

Mo Fire and Rescue - and like our page. Check out some of the photos posted and feel free to comment and ask questions. Also anyone interested in becoming a fi refi ghter please let us know, we have open positions. We also have a Junior program that starts at the age of 18 and goes through 21, which allows the new fi refi ghter time to gain knowledge and training needed to become a full fl edge fi refi ghter.

I am proud to say that I am a part of our community and hope that I will be able to serve our community for many more years to come.

It is ironic that one of the things that Linda Cupp will miss the most when she retires this week is the object that has also caused her some stress, the Mississippi River. Mrs. Cupp last day at the Town and Country Bank of Missouri in LaGrange is Jan. 31 after working at the facility for 32 years.

Cupp says besides all the wonderful people who work with her and her customers, she will miss looking at the beautiful Mississippi River every day, She won’t miss when the river exceeds its banks and threatens to fl ood the business which is located on the east side of Main Street in LaGrange.

Mrs. Cupp began her banking career on Jan. 9, 1981, when she was hired by then vice-president Jenny Murphy. The bank was located just north of the current bank building. The bank was known then as Farmers and Merchants Bank. The LaGrange Bank is the oldest bank in Lewis County. That building was demolished last spring as part of the fl ood buy-out program. Other employees

Linda Cupp retires from Town and Country Bank of Missouriat that time were President Dean Phillips and cashiers, Irma Lou Wiesemann and Alice Lee Solter. She also worked with Ken Schuetz for many years until his retirement.

With the location next to the Mississippi River, the business has had to relocate a few times in the past twenty years. In 1993, water surrounded the building and a boat was used to transport customers and employees across Main Street. Customers were urged to retrieve the contents of the lock boxes if they were located close to the fl oor. Daily business was moved to the City Hall building. The proof operator machine could not be moved and was jacked up three feet and employees used the machine each day. In 1993, volunteers and workers kept the water out of the building.

In 2008 water threatened the building again and the bank was relocated to the LaGrange City Hall, but before they could resume business, fl ood waters threatened that structure also and the bank was temporarily moved to the Catholic Church located on Route C, away from any fl ood waters. A temporary building facility was then put in place at the LaGrange Industrial Park. The

bank building on Main Street underwent renovations and the facility was once again in business at the Main Street location on July 31, 2009.

Cupp says she was always interested in numbers and while attending LaGrange High School she was infl uenced by a wonderful teacher, Norman Merrell, who later became a Missouri State Senator. She loves the feeling of working with numbers and problems and being able to solve them.

The last thirty plus years in banking has seen many changes. Cupp says computers has made many things much much easier, especially sending images of checks instead of the actual paper check. Automation has changed the banking industry and Cupp says many more changes will occur in the future.

Cupp is married to her husband, Joe, and she has two children, Tony and Amber and a step-daughter, Brenda. They have four grandchildren. She plans to spend time with her grandchildren and enjoy their activities. She wants to take the time to enjoy a few things especially reading, puzzles, fi shing and traveling.

She says she is fortunate and blessed to have worked with nice people and she

has enjoyed all the customers. She says she has gotten to know some really great people in her career and she will miss her daily interaction with her friends and customers.

A reception honoring Mrs. Cupp was scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 31 at the Town and Country Bank of Missouri in LaGrange from 9 a.m. Until 3 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend this open house and wish her well in her retirement.
