Waddle; threatening a member of the Missouri Bar, not being impartial in an Adair County case involving a former law partner, a romantic relationship with an administrative aide, a family issue of property dispersion, threatening Repre- sentative Wyatt, using a public employee for work in his personal residence, and al- lowing a sex offender to change a guilty plea.

Redmon signed onto the bill after read- ing the degree and number of charges. “I don’t know what’s been decided by a grand jury of the Commission. It’s not a partisan thing with me,” Redmon said. While Redmon doesn’t know any time- line he said “I hope something like this is disposed of quickly. I’d like for Judge Steele’s sake to put it out of the way. I hope if it is read, the judge will have his day and be found not guilty.” “I felt it was my duty on the number of things (in the resolution) rather than just turn a blind eye,” Redmon said. Redmon said the process would include being read on the floor, and the Speaker of the House having the authority to assign it to a committee, if the speaker so deems, a hearing with testimony from both sides, and if there is evidence found in the hear- ing, a vote on the House floor to refer it to the state Supreme Court.

BY DAN STEINBECK Editor [email protected] Photo by Dan Steinbeck PNJ File Photo PNJ File Photo A $2.5 million water and sewer bond issue is on the ballot for LaBelle Tuesday, Feb. 7. The issue is not without controversy. City officials contend the bond issue is needed to replace deteriorating, clogged lines, and improve the water capacity for fire service. Some LaBelle property owners say the city can’t afford it. “Most people in LaBelle are on fixed incomes and are senior citizens. Ninety percent of the people in LaBelle don’t work,” said Roger Howe, who now lives in Iowa, but has six properties in LaBelle. “LaBelle has the lowest income per capi- ta in the state of Missouri.” Howe figures a $2.5 million dollar bond issue and 100 water meters, means each resident will end up paying $25,000 of the indebtedness. Howe suggested the fire department should seek a grant through Homeland Security to help the LaBelle water system. He claims the city is behind on payments for their last bond issue. LaBelle resident Norman Strickland said he talked with a financial advisor about what would happen if the city were to default on the bond. He was told bond buyers wouldn’t get paid, the city would get sued, and the state would take over the city and possibly take all residential property. LaBelle Mayor Larry Hackemack said the city hasn’t yet reviewed options if the issue doesn’t pass, preferring to wait until after the vote. However Hackemack said one option is not to rebuild a water plant. “You’d never satisfy DNR (The De- LaBelle to vote on controversial water bond partment of Natural Resources). We spent $250,000 on the water plant and six months later we had other problems,” Hackemack said The city gets its water supply from the Clarence Cannon Water District. The bond issue, if passed, would re- place seven miles of distribution lines in LaBelle and allow for a new water tower with double the current 50,000-gallon ca- pacity. Some of the lines to be replaced are over 60 years old. Mike Logsdon of Bartlett West Engi- neering told a gathering in January the bond issue would allow a USDA Rural Development loan of three percent for 33 years for LaBelle, and a $500,000 Com- munity Development Block Grant. The new tower would be $450,000, the distri- bution system would be $1.3 million, and administrative could be $603,000. A bal- ance of less than $200,000 would be re- served to address expected future sewer system mandates. Hackemack said some funds he felt La- Belle was close to getting, went instead to areas damaged by tornadoes and flood- ing in southern Missouri. Hackemack said if the issue were ap- proved, it would be about a year before any construction could begin. “It (the water system) is to the point something needs to be done,” Hacke- mack said. The Lewis County Sheriff’s Of- fice received information on Jan. 24 involving a telephone scam current- ly circulating in Lewis County. The Missouri Senior Services reported several elderly persons received tele- phone calls from people representing themselves as Medicare personnel. The caller attempts to glean personal banking information from the elderly person. Citizens are reminded to never give personal information over the phone.

Great River Honor Flight, the Tri-States chapter of the Honor Flight program has fl own over 300 WWII Veter-ans to Washington D.C. since it was established in October of 2009. 2012 begins its third year of operation and the group is already hard at work planning missions 11 and 12 for this spring – sched-uled April 24 and May 22. “We’ve been able to accomplish the opportu-nity to honor these great veterans only through the generosity of so many individuals, groups, and businesses throughout the area”, stated Carlos Fer-nandez, Chairman of the Great River Honor Flight Board. “It is our goal to honor America’s veterans

for all their sacrifi ces.” Equally important, the

Great River Honor Flight Board announced that due to the success that the program has enjoyed with WWII veterans, they are opening up the applica-tion process to veterans of the Korean War. “While we continue to solicit and receive applications from WWII veterans, we want-ed to begin the process of extending the Honor Flight experience to those who served in Korea as well”, commented Neil Maune, Vice-Chair of the GRHF Board.

The Great River Honor Flight offers one-day trips to Washington, D.C. for these local heroes at no cost to them. Each fl ight consists of up to 35 veter-

ans and 20 guardians as-signed to assist the needs of each veteran and ensure them a memorable and en-joyable experience. The trips include visits to the World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Lin-coln Monument, Iwo Jima Memorial, and wraps up by witnessing the chang-ing of the guard ceremo-ny at Arlington National Cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknown. Other sites and a tour of the Nation’s Cap-ital are included depend-ing on time. The cost of this one day excursion can vary from $350 to $500 per veteran depending pri-marily on air fare. While veterans pay nothing, all guardians are expected to help cover their personal

cost for the trip. Great River Honor

Flight, a Missouri Non-profi t Corporation estab-lished in October of 2009, was created solely to hon-or America’s veterans that live in our area for all theyhave sacrifi ced by provid-ing, free of charge, trans-portation to WashingtonD.C. to visit the memorialsdedicated to honor theirservice and sacrifi ces.

The Williamstown Banner is the name of the new paper starting in Williamstown. It is a six column folio edited by Doran and Hicks. It declares independence in politics by will be neu-tral in nothing, reserving the right to have its say on all issues. The Banner makes the sixth paper in Lewis County. The Ban-ner will fi nd as the rest of us have found that the grazing is getting mighty short. However, the pas-ture fi eld is open to the world and the Banner has a free entry.

Pop star and self-el-evated glamour queen Beyonce and her rapper husband had a baby, and according to TV, every-one is thrilled. Other ce-lebrities, including Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Garner, Hillary Duff and Kourtney Kardashian – a Kardah-sian whose marriage has lasted longer than 72 days - are said to be expecting this year.

Again according to the talking head that says nothing substantial - TV - the whole world wants Prince William and Duch-ess of Cambridge Kate to have a child, so they can talk even more about Brit-ish royalty. Isn’t that really just the couple’s business?

This interest in celeb-rity pregnancies leads to an obviously male-based question: “So?”

What is the big deal about celebrities having babies? It’s not like any of us will get invited to baby showers (or many males will even want to go to one)? While some celebri-ties are odd ducks, it’s not like the babies to be born are going to be aliens, are they? Those famous par-ents aren’t likely to stop by the homes of most fans to show the children off.

Yes, it’s important that healthy babies come into the world. It is important they are born, loved and nurtured and allowed to grow, as opposed to abort-ing them. If you remem-ber, it is having a baby that keeps the population going. Does any baby not

of any of these famous children change our per-sonal world? Are the lower and middle classes supposed to chip in for future college funds to those who live luxuriant lives? Do we have to take a week’s vacation to give them rides to secluded pri-vate schools? Will births to stars affect our taxes?

It was different with Ricky and Lucy, when she was pregnant, and the child was included in the scripts, and the world saw the child grow. How long will the interest of any of these births capture our at-tention, before we fi gure out we need to get back to work reports, clean our gutters, getting our kids the necessary braces, in-stead of focusing on the lives of stars?

We as society concern ourselves so much over what is coming that may-be we miss anything good that is here. Or know-ing some of our celebri-ties, maybe there isn’t that much good now, and we’re waiting for better.

To The Press-News Journal:

At the year end of 1951, the city fathers who were forward thinking business-men had brought about a modern and effi cient wa-ter and fi re protection sys-tem. The system was com-prised of a new 50,000 gallon water tower, a wa-ter processing plant, a new water source, and a com-plete modern underground city wide distribution piping system for a home water system. The system was complete with fi re hy-drants which supplied an adequate water supply for fi re protection. This sys-tem was a major landmark for the health and safety of all the citizens of LaBelle. During the 61 years that passed, new water sources were developed. The wa-ter processing plant was updated to meet new regu-lations and usage require-ments. However, during the 61 year period, no new underground piping was installed except for mini-mum new pipe to connect to the new water sources.

At a recent town hall meeting, the consulting city engineer gave a con-vincing presentation of the overall condition of the water system. The water system failed on all ac-counts and will probably not meet minimum stan-dards in the near future. Repair and maintenance has become a major drain on the city’s fi nances, and a do nothing approach will only cost more as time goes on.

The 2010 ISO report (Insurance Service Offi ce, Inc.) rated the current sys-tem at 15.37%. The maxi-mum rating points are 40%. Adding the 15.375% to the Western Lewis County Fire Protection District points of 21.57%

and 8.3% for fi re alarms minus .94% divergence the total points awarded to the city is 44.3% which equals a class six ISO rat-ing with a new water sys-tem and other improve-ments in WLCFPD, the ISO rating could be im-proved to a desirable four ISO rating. These rating are recognized by some insurance companies and in some cases reduction in rates can be requested. There are local examples of small communities with a similar ISO rating that could not obtain any fi re insurance.

The general overall condition of the water sys-tem is rapidly becoming inadequate for fi re protec-tion and dependable unin-terrupted in-home potable water. A bond issue of 2.5 million dollars will be placed on the Feb. 7 2012 election ballot asking for approval to replace the 61 year old system and to bring about a safe cost-ef-fi cient system. This dollar amount, if approved by the citizens of LaBelle will be considered a credit limit. The current cost analy-sis for the new system is less than that amount, but a fi rm contract dollar amount will now be estab-lished until the go ahead is approved by a citizen’s vote.

Your YES vote on Feb. 7 will be appreciated and will give the go ahead to keep this very important project on track. Please do not let the progress we have enjoyed slip back to the 1949 era.

A special thank you to the Western Lewis County Fire Protection District, City of LaBelle Alderman and city employees.

Mayor Hackemack, City of LaBelle

To The Press-News Journal:

To the citizens of The City of La Belle, taking on this kind of debt will not resolve our infra-structure problems. It is like putting a bandage that you have to rent on a wound with cancer and disease.

We must be clearly informed about the cost of debt and the lack of professional city man-agement, for ignorance in these matters is the cancer. These problems must be addressed fi rst and other avenues for funding and managing capitol projects must be exhausted. And never should this kind of debt have to be placed on the Citizens of La Belle.

#1.) Understanding Debt based currency, when currency, debt note, loan, derivative, or bond is created it’s created out of thin air with interest (Modern money mechanics/ pub by Federal Reserve) and the cost to pay it back is placed on the citizens from the cradle to the grave.

Just look at the US government and the trou-ble its in with the banks. Should our city follow those same bad judg-ment calls in managing its money and resources, God forbid.

#2.) Where is the money in La Belle? The economy in La Belle is with the mega corpora-tions dealing with corn and soybeans like Mon-santo, Dupont, ADM, MFA.

A possible suggestion for city management is placing a small city tar-iff on every bushel of corn and soybean that is

bought and sold in the city of La Belle to help fund capitol projects for infrastructure to better the living conditions and life for La Belle Citizens. And there are many more ways to build a city with-out debt. Every citizen in La Belle should partici-pate in transforming this city into a better home for us to live.

#3.) Scaring the La Belle citizens with fi re fi ghting protection ca-pability in order to fund this capitol project is dis-proportionate to the true dangers of our water sup-ply system. Fluoridation of the water by Clarence Canyon Wholesale Wa-ter Company is costing more lives than house fi res. The best way to fi ght fi res is through city coding in fi re safety.

#4.) ADM and their new facility are the ones that need this increase in fi re protection and a higher tower for their in-surance. They should pay for it just like Roquette does in Keokuk and should not try to pass the buck to the citizens.

#5.) Fluoride is an in-dustrial toxic waist prod-uct from fertilizer and aluminum manufactures dumped into our drink-ing water.

P.S The water bond meeting was after the deadline for registration to vote. Now we can’t vote on this. This was completely wrong and against our rights. The deadline for voters reg-istration was Jan 11, and the bond meeting was Jan.16.

How to avoid land leasing disputes

Land leases have become more common as fewer rural landowners remain personally in-volved in farming. Unfortunately, there are many disputes every year over farm leases that could be avoided with planning at the outset. Here are a few tips to help you plan your next leasing ar-rangement:

1. Get it in writingFarm leases with terms longer than a year must

be written to be enforceable under Missouri law. Oral leases for a term of less than one year are en-forceable, but leasing any property without a written agreement is very unwise.

Whether you have a short or long term lease, you should commit the lease to writing with clear and unambiguous terms. Setting out the lease’s length, rate and end date will help prevent future disputes.

2. Be specifi c about the lease’s scopeMany people are surprised to learn that under

Missouri law a farm tenant has an absolute right of possession to a leased property and may exclude the landlord from entry unless the lease specifi es that the landlord retains the right to enter or use the leased property.

It’s therefore critical that both landlord and tenant understand their needs and objectives for the prop-erty while drafting the lease.

For the landowner this means that if you wish to retain the right to enter or cross your property for a specifi c purpose such as hunting or moving livestock you should include provisions in the lease allowing entry to the property for that purpose.

Tenants should consider whether they can live with the possible risk and hassle of allowing outside access to the leased property.

3. Record your leaseTenants should record their lease at the county

courthouse. In Missouri, future buyers of the leased property must only honor your lease if they have no-tice of its existence. Recording the lease guarantees notice to any future buyer and protects the tenant go-ing forward.

4. Understand the conditions for lease ter-mination

In Missouri, most agricultural leases are year-to-year, with the customary agricultural year beginning on March 1. A landlord must give notice 60 days prior to the beginning of the next lease year to termi-nate a year-to-year lease.

However, if a lease contains a specifi c termina-tion date the landlord is not required to give further notice of termination to end the lease. To avoid con-fusion, the best practice is to set a specifi c termina-tion date in your lease. Both parties can review and sign a new lease at the end of the term if they wish to continue the lease.

A popular event will celebrate forty years this weekend. The annual La-Grange Lions Pancake and Sausage Day will be held Saturday, Feb. 4 at the LaGrange Lions Hall on Main Street.

As with any fundraiser, a large amount of time and effort goes into mak-ing the event successful. Supplies have to be or-dered, volunteers have to be sought, the work has to be delegated, the event has to be publicized, organiza-tional meetings are held, food needs to be prepared, clean-up has to be done, etc.

The LaGrange Lions Club began in 1971 and one of their fi rst fundrais-ers was a pancake and sausage day held the fi rst Saturday in Feb. 1972 and has continued to be held at the same time each year. Roger Tiemann, a charter member of the club recalled that they re-ally didn’t know how it would be received, but has proved to be popular and has grown more and more each year. At the time not many fundraiser offered a pancake and sausage breakfast, a few business-es sometimes served pan-cakes as a customer appre-ciation offer.

Tiemann has kept re-cords of the amount of pork sold over the years.

The fi rst year, members butchered one hog and made the sausage. Since then 1,215 hogs have been butchered which adds up to over 330,000 pounds of pork that has been sold. Tickets were $1.75 for an adult the fi rst year. In planning the fi rst event, Roy Solter, who owned the grocery store, Solter’s Superette, suggested a seasoning for the sausage and that same commercial seasoning is still available has been used ever since. The club continued to butcher their own meat for several years, then, as the event grew and grew, they paid to have the process-ing done, which cut down on the member’s work, but also cut into their prof-its. They only purchase butcher hogs so the meat is always high quality. The public liked the taste and quality of the sausage and wanted some of the pack-aged product for home, so the club began offering the meat for sale also.

Tiemann notes that this year is the highest they have ever paid for the pork, 1980 is the next highest and 1979 was the year they paid the low-est price. For over twenty years, the day was held at the building also known as the old Legion Hall, about three blocks north of their current building on Main Street. That facil-ity has about a 50 person seating capacity, so people would wait in line for a

330,000 Pounds of Pork... and counting

LaGrange Lions Pancake and Sausage Day Feb. 4, is celebrating their 40th year

place to sit. The club built a new building in 1995. Tiemann said the weather was very, very cold that year, but people braved the temperatures to see the new facility. The current building has enough room to serve a lot of people at a time, and people have a chance to sit and visit. Last year the club served over 800 people. The 2011 event was held just days after one of the biggest snowstorms to hit Lewis County has occurred, but

again the public braved the weather to attend.

A few years ago, bis-cuits and gravy were added to the menu which the customers like and it helped to relieve the pan-cake grill work a little.

Volunteers work days before selling the pack-aged meat to customers and getting ready for the big day that begins very early on a Saturday morn-ing. Tiemann praises the members and the many volunteers who have

helped over the years and help make it a success. The club is also thankful to the public for attending and supporting the event.

Lions Club Interna-tional is one of the world’s largest service club orga-nizations with over one million members working to improve their commu-nities. One of their mis-sions is to aid the blind and visually impaired.

The LaGrange club has been an important part of the LaGrange and the sur-

rounding communities for the past forty years, donat-ing cash and services toarea projects. Groups canalso help at fundraisers and some of the proceeds are donated to that organi-zation.

The public is invitedto attend the pancake andsausage day Saturday, Feb.2. Roger Tiemann and theLions Club members en-courage everyone to comeand have a good breakfast and visit with friends andneighbors.

EMMA JEAN REMPE

Emma Jean Rempe, 84 of Clinton, Ill., passed away Jan. 26, 2012 at OSF St. Joseph’s Medical Cen-ter, Bloomington, Ill.

Emma Jean was born November 17, 1927 in St. Patrick, Mo., the daugh-ter of Carl Withington and Mary Ethel (Brennan) Logsdon. She graduated

from St. Patrick’s High School in 1945. On June 26, 1948 she married Louis J. “Lou” Rempe at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in St. Patrick, Mo. Sadly, her beloved husband Lou passed away November 10, 2011 after 63 years of marriage.

She was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church in Clinton, Ill., for 57 years. She was a dedicated and humble servant and freely gave of her time and talents for many church activities, especially the Altar and Ro-sary Society. After many years as a homemaker raising her large family, she began working at the Clinton High School cafeteria. She retired with 35 years of service in 2007 at the age of 80. She served on the John Warner Hospital Auxiliary Board and was active in PTA while her children were in school.

Emma Jean’s loving, caring, generous and compas-sionate nature made her a wife, mother, sister, aunt and grandmother who cannot be replaced. She had a calm spirit that made others feel safe and secure. She had a positive disposition and outgoing personality and never knew a stranger. She always took time to get to know the people who came into her life.

She was hard working, tireless, selfl ess and believed in always doing the right thing. She was an inspiration to her family with a wonderful sense of humor and the twinkle in her eye made everyone feel special. She will be so very dearly missed by her family, friends and com-munity.

She is survived by her nine children: Diane (Barry) Phipps, Clinton, Ill., David (Wanda) Rempe, Deca-tur, Ill., Joyce Rempe, Clinton, Ill., Carla (Bill) Good, Clinton, Ill., Eric (Valorie) Rempe, Clinton, Ill., Greta (John) Boudeman, Armington, Ill., Teresa (Bill) Wash-burn, Washington, Ill., Steven Rempe, Clinton, Ill., Ja-net Vinson, Clinton, Ill.; 16 Grandchildren and 8 Great Grandchildren; two sisters: Maxine (Junior) Uhlmeyer and Doreen (Dennis) Schutte, St. Louis, Mo.; and sis-ter-in-law: Mary Logsdon. She was preceded in death by her Parents, one brother: Seldon Logsdon and one granddaughter: Joanna Marie Boudeman.

Funeral mass was held Jan. 30 at St. John’s Catholic Church, Clinton, Ill. Rev. Father James Henning offi ci-ated with burial at Oak Park Cemetery, Clinton, Ill.

Avila University did most of its damage in the second half from the free throw line in overcoming a nine-point defi cit to de-feat the Culver-Stockton College women’s basket-ball team Saturday after-noon.

The Eagles, who trailed 39-30 at halftime, made 24 of their 27 free throw attempts in the second half, and outscored the hosts 38-16 overall from the stripe in earning a 74-68 victory.

The Lady Wildcats built their fi rst half lead on the strength of strong shoot-ing from the fi eld, making 13 of their 28 fi rst half at-tempts for 46.4 percent.

However, C-SC cooled off in the second half to 30 percent (9 for 30) and the

Jessie Logsdon, mak-ing her second start since coming off the injury list on Jan. 19, paced the Lady Wildcat attack with 18 points and a game-high fi ve assists.

Leading scorer Aneshia Starks was limited to 13 points and a team-high six rebounds before foul-ing out. Tromesa May and Monica Wilson each re-corded nine points.

C-SC, now 11-12 over-all and 3-8 in the HAAC, is off until next Saturday, Feb. 4, when they travel to Peru, Neb., to face Peru State College in a HAAC contest. Game time is slat-ed for 2 p.m.

Avila University raced to a 40-19 half-time lead and never looked back in picking up an 83-49 Heart of America Athletic Con-ference victory over the Culver-Stockton men’s basketball team Satur-day afternoon at Charles Field House.

The Eagles dominat-ed from the outset, lead-ing 23-2 in the fi rst half as the Wildcats made just one of their fi rst 12 shots from the fi eld. C-SC fi nished the fi rst half 7 of 22 from the fi eld, including 1 of 10 from the 3-point stripe.

For the game, the Wildcats were 19 of 59 (32.2 percent) from the fl oor, but made just two of their 25 shot from the arc. Avila also out-scored the hosts 28-9 from the free throw line.

Justin Ellison came off the bench to lead the Wildcats in scoring, fi n-ishing with nine points in 17 minutes of action. Zach Glenn also came off the bench to net
