The man responsible for setting the fi re that extensively damaged the for-mer Canton Motel building in Novem-ber 2011, was sentenced to prison.

Abel Rosales, 29, pled guilty to sec-ond degree arson January 5, and was sentenced by Second Judicial Circuit Judge Russell Steele to three years in the Missouri Department of Correc-tions.

Rosales had managed the Motel un-til it closed late in 2011. On the night of Nov. 6, 2011, a raging fi re brought 30 fi refi ghters from four stations.

Canton Police have said Roasales was apparently offered fi nancial gain from owner Brian Waschenbach, 39, Kahoka, for setting the fi re.

A trial setting for Waschenbach, also charged with second degree ar-son, was scheduled for January 17.

A Keokuk woman had apparently minor injuries in a weather related ac-cident north of Canton Jan. 12.

Miranda L. Messenger, 23 of Keokuk, Iowa, was taken to Keokuk Area Hospital by Lewis County Am-bulance.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Messenger was southbound at 1:30 p.m. on Route 61, a mile north of Canton, when her 2006 Saturn slid off the left side of the road and came to rest in the median. There was no damage to the car.

Assisting the Patrol were Lewis County Sheriff’s Offi ce and the Can-ton Fire and Rescue.

MOTEL ARSONIST SENTENCED TO PRISON

ONE HURT IN SNOW ACCIDENT

There is a clear difference of opinion of the proposed $2.5 million LaBelle water revenue bond issue on the Feb. 7 ballot.

At a Jan. 16 meeting, more than 70 people jammed the lobby of the LaBelle Fire Station to hear an engineer’s report, and to voice their con-cerns.

Mike Logsdon, of Bartlett West Engineering told of the needs of the bond issue.

“In the 1950s, I’m not sure how many of you had auto-matic washers and dryers. The system put in then was ade-quate. The usage of water has changed in the last 60 years,” Logsdon said.

He showed a one-inch rusty pipe and told the crowd this was an early LaBelle water main, not a to-the-home-ser-vice line. Logsdon held up four-inch diameter samples of asbestos concrete pipe.

“This won’t cause a health problem when you drink the water. Where this is a problem is when the pipe is cut and as-bestos is released into the air,” Logsdon said of the asbestos concrete pipe.

Logsdon said the largest of the LaBelle mains is six inch-es, and said the current system is subject to frequent breaks, has a limited number of con-trol valves, and fi re hydrants on undersized mains.

“The new state and federal regulations call for a six-inch main on a fi re hydrant,” Logs-don said.

The new distribution sys-tem would be vastly different. “We’re proposing eight-inch PVC lines from the storage tank to the distribution net-work. An eight-inch pipe can carry up to 1,000 gallons per minutes, where as a six-inch pip carries about 800 gallons per minute.

Logsdon said six-inch PVC pipes would put loops in high density population areas, and four-inch PVC would be on the rest of the system, and more than 100 new controls

Water - A Hot Topic In LaBelleLaBelle residents gather to discuss upcoming water

bond issue

would be added, as well as 31 new fi re hydrants.

Logsdon said the bond is-sue also considers the avail-able water supply. The cur-rent water tank is more than 50 years old and its current location makes repairs and even maintenance diffi cult. The 50,000-gallon tank was last painted in the 1980s and stands 98 feet high.

“To sandblast and paint the tower (for maintenance) you would have to encase the tower in plastic (because of the proximity to other struc-tures),” Logsdon said.

He said 30,000 gallons is needed for fi re protection, which would allow 250 gal-lons a minute for two hours.

He showed slides of rust-occluded pipes and rust and bird droppings issues among the current water tower issues.

“The estimated cost to cor-rect the tower is $176,600. If it is fi xed, you would be in compliance with all safety regulations, but your volume and pressure would be un-changed,” Logsdon said.

A new 130-foot tower, 100,000 gallon elevated tower located near the city mainte-nance building north of La-Belle is proposed. This would

increase current pressure from 42 to 56 pounds per square inch. It would also allow suf-fi cient reserve water for peak demands and fi re protection.

The new tank would cost $450,000, the distribution sys-tem would cost $1,328,800, and administrative costs would be $603,100, for a total proposed cast of $2,381,900. He said the balance of the bond issue would be set aside to handle anticipated Depart-ment of Natural Resources rules that will become man-dates about sewer issues.

The project would be fund-ed by USDA Rural Develop-ment loan at 3% for 33 years and a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant.

Some in the crowd pleaded poverty. “This little town can’t afford this. LaBelle has the lowest median income in the County and one of the lowest in Missouri,” some said.

Some questioned why more grants aren’t sought. Logsdon said they are being sought, but they aren’t as available as they were in recent years.

Some wanted the grants sought fi rst, and Logsdon said those that issue grants want to see a city’s commitment fi rst, and said “The days are num-

bered” from these program grants.

One in the crowd chal-lenged the naysayers, imply-ing the costs would increase if the city waits.

One said if the city doesn’t approve the bond issue, im-provements might be forced on the residents anyway.

One asked why the Clar-ence Cannon Water commis-sion tower south of LaBelle couldn’t be used. The answer: It doesn’t belong to the city of LaBelle and is for reserve for the system.

Logsdon said with 300 wa-ter customers, it would add $19.70 a month to retire the 33-year debt, and a recent rate increase should cover current costs.

Logsdon said another quicker, but less certain option would be the city board vot-ing to take out a private loan, which could get the project rolling quicker than the grants and Rural Development loans.

“They (private lender) would need some collateral, maybe the water tower. It would be a higher interest, If the city defaults, they’ll shut the tower, and you won’t have water service,” Logsdon said.

After weeks of above-average tem-peratures, the Tri-State area got a re-minder of which season is still on the calendar.

Snow fell on Thursday, Jan 12 post-poning some basketball games, but not leading to any school cancella-tions, although Canton did dismiss early that day.

However, there were numerous area reports of accidents or slide-offs in-cluding one minor accident north of Canton.

The snow largely disappeard in warming temperatures Sunday and Monday Jan. 15-16.

Slick roads may have been the cause of an accident on Hwy B and Poage Street at the north end of LaGrange. The accident occured Friday afternoon, Jan. 13. The driver was un-able to exit the vehicle without assistance, but refused treatment at the scene.

Responding were the LaGrange Police De-partment, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, LaGrange Fire and Rescue, and Lewis County Ambulance.

Light snowfall made road conditions haz-ardous in the Lewis County and surrounding areas. Motorists are reminded to use extreme caution during inclement weather. Motorists should also carry a blanket, fl ashlight, a fully charged cell phone, ice scraper, and also make someone aware of their travel plans.

• Clifton Crowden, 54, of rural Canton, was sen-tenced to nine years in the Department of Correc-tion for a Class B felony of attempting to possess a controlled substance with the intent to distribute.

• Nicole Renae Head, 31, of Canton, was sen-tenced to three years in the Department of Cor-rections for a July 5, 2010 incident where she was arrested on a Class C felony for possessing a controlled substance.

HISTORY

A Photo From Yesteryear

On January 10, this cheery news was released: the symbolic hands of the world’s doomsday clock have been moved forward one minute. That means on the proverbial Doomsday clock, we as a society are fi ve minutes away from total destruction, according to the ÅBulletin of Atomic Scientists.

Just two years ago, it was six minutes to midnight on the fi gurative clock. At this current rate, this means society has just 10 years left.

However, in 1991, the time was moved back to 17 minutes until midnight. How the doomsday clock and the Mayan calendar prediction that the doomsday will occur in December of this year, isn’t exactly clear.

This is based on the threat of humanity’s imminent destruction.

What a fun place to work! Probably instead of smiley stickers pasted all over there are frowny faces. Hangman must be the game of choice on offi ce computers instead of solitaire. Sad songs are probably played all day long on the company’s recorded music system. The in-offi ce TV is set to gloom and doom news channels.

The “time-change” announcement Tuesday, was absent of what the average Joe/Jane could do, except encourage

What a lovely role to have

global restraint in nuclear warfare. Also absent was how the average Joe/Jane should prepare.

Still further missing from the announcement was what happens to the clock if the earth is destroyed before the proverbial fi ve minutes tick off, who’ll reset the clock if everyone is wiped out, or what happens if there is no doomsday in 10 years.

The overall tenor of the announcement, based on observations of the media clips, seemed to be “go ahead and worry and hit the panic button.”

That might work - to have everyone worry. People can gather for doomsday panic parties, with plenty of brown paper bags into which they can breathe when they start to hyperventilate. The ‘what if’ game can be played until people feel their brains are mush and their heads cave in.

Another option is for people to do what they can to live peaceable lives and go about their business as normal - attend ball games, visit families, help other people read, strive to be a better person and take what reasonable precautions that can be taken, and deal with things as they happen, and make things right with the Creator.

After all, time is ticking....

JournalJan. 21, 1927

Neighbors, relatives and friends surprised Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Fretwell Jan. 18 it being the oc-casion of their 50th wed-ding anniversary.

The cold weather has been very favorable for the ice harvest. The ice is 12 inches in thickness and of excellent quality.

With the coming of March 1, 1927, a tract of land in this vicinity, part of which has been in the hands of one family for more than 100 years, will pass into the ownership of a stranger. This tract con-sists of 360 acres belong-ing to the estate of the late Abner Bozarth. The con-tract for the transfer of the land to Fred Frieden of Elgin, Ia., for a consid-eration of $40,000, a little more than $111 per acre, was signed this week. This body of land lies in the Mississippi River bottom some three miles south of town, and was entered by two of the Bo-zarth brothers who came from Kentucky and were among the earliest settlers to locate here. Two hun-dred acres of the tract, on which the residence of the late Abner Bozarth is situ-ated, has never been out of Bozarth hands since it was obtained from the government. Mr. Bo-zarth’s grandfather, John Bozarth, entered 160 acres of it April 20, 1819, and the other 40 on July 16, 1921. The land passed to his son, Reason Bo-zarth, and hence to Abner Bozarth.



Among those receiv-ing letters from Christian University for good work in athletics was Fred Por-ter of Monticello. This was his fi rst year at the college.

Will Smith and Miss Lucy Fible fi lled the lat-ter’s ice house this week getting some nine inch ice. J.B. Porter is putting up this week, hauling it from the creek near town.

Arch Taylor is fi lling the Williams ice house

this week with nine and ten ice off of a pond.

The large cattle barn on the farm of W.B. McRob-erts east of town was to-tally destroyed by fi re Friday morning, together with all the contents. The barn contained 450 bush-els of corn, 25 tons of hay and farm machinery to the value of about $500. It was quite a loss to Mr. McRoberts and Mr. An-derson.

Miss Lewis, a trained nurse from Keokuk, came Thursday to O.H. Dick-ey’s to nurse his little daughter who has pneu-monia.



The protracted meet-ing at Benjamin is still in progress; 18 additions to date.

The sleighing is very fi ne now and all that have sleighs and horses are making good use of the snow.

Water has been very scarce for the past two weeks, many having to melt snow and ice.

The new iron bridge across the Fabius at this place is now completed and it is pronounced by all as a “daisy.” It is thought to be one of the fi nest bridges in the county. It was accepted by the Com-missioner immediately on completion.

We are glad to an-nounce to the public that the Central Union Tele-phone Co. has again put up their wire across the river, this connecting this place with Quincy again.

There is a movement on foot to levee the Mis-sissippi along the west-ern shore of LaGrange to Hannibal and thus make tillable all the fi ne bottom land between these two points now worthless on account of overfl ow from the river. It seems to be a laudable enterprise. Think of the wheat these lands would yield if the water could be kept off them.

There’s nothing more frustrating in the world than not ‘fi tting in’. Through my childhood, I didn’t mind dressing dif-ferently or that I loved books more than I liked to play on the playground, but as I got older, my little quirks became sink holes on the road to acceptance.

At some point, every teenager goes through a “phase” or two. I probably went through thirty try-ing to fi nd out what suited me best. No matter what outfi t I tried, nerd always seemed to fi t me best. I didn’t like my shorts to show my legs, so I wore long shorts that cut off at the knees. I didn’t like for my pants to show my underwear, so I wore long shirts. My hair was a dif-ferent color and/or style every other month. These were just a few of the things that set me apart from my peers.

I’ve written my entire life, so when I got voted as the “Most Talented” in the eighth grade, I was incredibly proud that my classmates had taken the time to read what I had written and thought it

was wonderful. Later, I realized that no one had a clue what my stories were about, they simply knew that the assignment called for a one-page paper, and I had written fi ve. I started to wonder if anyone would ever take notice of who I was as a person.

Southerns are wonderful people, but unfortunate-ly, the majority of them dress and act very simi-lar. If you’re not country, the country don’t want you, and I had longed my entire life to be like one of the popular, pretty Southern Belles that I had seen around my school. Just before graduating, I fi nally sat down and at-tempted to fi gure out why they seemed so perfect to everyone.

I soon realized that a Southern girl’s best qual-ity is her ability to be natu-ral and confi dent with the person God made her to be. Few people really have this trait, and some are inching towards the goal. As soon as I let go of the need to be liked, suddenly, I was. My quirk “fl aws” made me into my own per-fect Southern Belle.

The Lewis County Unit of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association and Public School Person-nel participated in several activities the later part of 2011.

On October 21, the group met for lunch and a business meeting at the ONE Restaurant in Quin-cy with President Carol Murfi n presiding. Mem-bers had brought food do-nations which were later given to the food pantry at the Lutheran Church in LaGrange. Mark Lu-eckenhoff reported that a recycling grant had been approved and that trailers for recycling are located at both Lewis County C-1 Schools as well as in each classroom.

Following the Octo-ber meeting, many in the group went to the Lincoln-Douglas Interpretive Cen-ter to hear Quincy Univer-sity’s Professor Emeritus Dr. David Costigan. Then, several members viewed Wayside Exhibits in Washington Park. These exhibits told more about Lincoln’s 1858 campaign and the Lincoln-Douglas Debate.

On December 15, the club’s social was held at LuLaBelle’s in Hannibal. Those in attendance en-joyed lunch and visiting. An informal program in-cluded sharing school ex-periences from the past, including attendance at various one-room school-houses.

A committee met in December to plan loca-tions and programs for 2012. The next meeting is scheduled for February 16 at Sydni’s in Quincy fol-

lowed by a tour of Under-brink’s Bakery. The group is scheduled to work at the recycling facility in Pal-myra on Saturday, March 10 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Mary Jane (Pinson) Ott of Fort Worth, Texas and a former resident of La-Belle, recently installed a Barn Quilt on the family farm northwest of LaBelle. Mrs. Ott was curious as to whether any other barn quilts exist in Lewis Coun-ty.

Barn quilts are patterns which resemble quilts and are usually painted on ply-wood and then attached to a barn or outbuilding.

The history of the barn quilt began about 300 years ago with the arrival of im-migrants from the Rhine region of Germany. These groups included Amish, Mennonites, Lutherans and other Reform groups according to a information from the internet.

Prior to the 1830s, most barns were unpainted be-cause of the cost of paint. As paint became more af-fordable, the Pennsylvania Dutch began to paint and decorate their barns. Barn decorating peaked in the early 20th century. There were many artists who spe-cialized in barn decorating and combined many folk designs, including pat-terns from quilt squares. In the past several years, barn quilts have become popular again and more are appearing on barns and other places. Sev-eral places have published maps which gives viewers a location and meaning. A few states have devel-oped quilt trails including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-ana, Kentucky and Iowa.

Barn Quilt in LaBelle

Many pictures and patterns can be found at www.barn-quilts.com

Mrs. Ott had seen ar-ticles about barn quilts and wanted to create something for the barn on her family’s farm. Her mother was an avid quilter and she wanted to honor her family with a meaningful symbol. The barn quilt has the names of her parents, her brother Kenneth, who died in 1999 and her name, along with a silver star to honor her fa-ther, Stanley Pinson (1916-2005).

Mr. Pinson was a World War II veteran who served

in the army with the 36th Division in the European tour. While in Germany he led a mule train of supplies during the cover of night, to a regiment of soldiers who were out of food and ammunition. He received a Silver Star for that mission and Mrs. Ott painted the star in his memory on the barn quilt.

Members of her fam-ily including nephews and cousins helped with the quilt project. Butch Patrick of LaBelle helped her get the plywood for the quilt and she worked on it while visiting her mother, Juani-

ta.The barn where the quilt

is located is over 100 years old. Ott has many fond memories of her father working in the barn and milking their eight cows. Her family bought the farm in 1953 and the origi-nal farm house was located across from the barn. She wrote a book about the history of LaBelle several years ago.

Mrs. Ott and her hus-band, George, have two daughters and three grand-children. She visits her mother and the LaBelle area often.

This barn quilt was re-cently hung on the Pin-son family farm barn in rural LaBelle.

Local schools took the challenge to buckle up andmade it click with students. One hundred and fi fty-fi ve schools, including 19 schools in Northeast Missouri, participated in this year’s Battle of the Belt Challenge, a competition to raise seat belt use among teens.

Participating schools launched two surprise seat beltchecks at each school to measure student seat belt use before and after an educational campaign. In addition,schools had the opportunity to submit a 30-second video spot to encourage their peers to buckle up.

Highland was one of the fi ve schools in the northeast Missouri area that received statewide recognition for seat belt use that reached gold (99-100%), silver (95-98%) or bronze (91-94%) levels of seat belt use and willreceive banners to display at the school donated by theMissouri College of Emergency Physicians. HighlandHigh School earned a bronze banner with 91.87 percent.

Marion County High School won the Northeast Re-gional Award for the Highest Overall Seat Belt Use achieving 98% seat belt use. American Family Insur-ance will donate $500.00 to be used for future seat belteducation programs at the schools.

Traffi c crashes are the leading cause of death for peo-ple 15-20 years old. Results of a 2011 survey amongMissouri teens indicate 33 percent of teens are notwearing their seat belt putting them at greater risk to getkilled or injured in traffi c crashes. Seven out of ten teens killed in Missouri traffi c crashes are unbuckled.

The Battle of the Belt was originally brought tosouthwest Missouri by the Missouri Emergency Nurses Association and St. John’s Hospital. In 2006, the Mis-souri Coalition for Roadway Safety, in conjunction withAmerican Family Insurance, took the competition state-wide and continues to sponsor this year’s program withthe Missouri College of Emergency Physicians.

Fifth grade students at Highland Elementary School in Ewing donated food to NECAC in place of having a holiday gift exchange. The classes collected over $200 in food, which was delivered to NECAC in Canton and helped local families in Lewis County. As fourth graders, the students donated money to the Great River Honor Flight program, which recently sent three Lewis County Veterans to Washington D.C. Fifth grade teachers are Mrs. Evans, Mr. Kessler, Mrs. Steinbeck and Mrs. Harshburger.

USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Chief Dave White announced that the cut-off date for the current CSP ranking period has been extended to January 27. Producers who maintain a high level of conservation on their land and agree to adopt higher levels of stewardship are eligible for CSP payments.

Producers are encouraged to apply for CSP throughout the year to be considered for current and future application ranking periods. Those who apply by January 27 may be eligible for current available funding. Eligible lands include cropland, pastureland, rangeland and nonindustrial forestland.

A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if CSP is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, contracts obligations and potential payments. It is available from local NRCS offi ces and at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/fi nancial/csp.

Sparks has always loved to take pictures and in 2007 decided to make a part time business out of something that she likes to do.

She also began taking pictures of band events and now tries to attend most events in the

Photographing the memories

She became a Creative Memories consultant to go along with her photography business. She uses their digital scrap booking programcalled Storybook Creator for all the books and collages she creates.She made several storybooks of a sporting season for parents to give to their children as Christmas presents. The storybooks are fi lled with pic-tures throughout the sporting or event season or throughout the school year and put into a book that they will have to remember that time forthe rest of their lives. She is pleased with the quality of workmanship the company provides. She can also make storybooks for weddings or any event. She loves to be able to share her pictures and providememories that will last a lifetime.

She is married to Donny Sparks and they have two teenage daughters who attend Highland High School. Mr. Sparks was critically injured ina garage accident in 2009 and had his hand surgically reattached and has undergone many operations since then. Her mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness in June of 2009 and passed away two months later, so her photography business was put on hold during that time, but since then she has been busy with many photo projects and looks forward to attending many events to capture on fi lm.

She graduated with honors from Culver-Stockton College with abachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance and has an AAS business management degree from JWCC. Her hometown is Humbolt, Iowa. Sparks loves animals, especially horses and photographed horse shows and mounted events last summer.
