The Canton Community Clothes Closet has opened in the former Dykstra Clinic building on Rt. B, just south of Canton. The store was es-tablished to help families in need, but it is also open to the public.

At the Community Food bank, held at the First Baptist Church in Canton, there were sometimes clothing items available for those who need-ed them. The problem was space to put these clothes. So with the help of several volunteers and Diana Clark from Re-New-All, they have opened up a thrift store in the old clinic. Individuals can qualify for ten dollar vouch-er for each member of their family each month and use that voucher to pick up need-

ed items. Dr. Dykstra has do-nated the use of the building while it is not occupied.

Clothing for every mem-ber of the family is available, along with some baby items and furniture. Coats, jeans, purses, boots, shoes, dresses, shirts, etc. are all reasonably priced. Emergency vouchers are also available for people in need, such as those who have suffered a fi re or disas-ter. Household items will be available at Re-New-All in those cases.

The business takes donat-ed items that are gently used, in good shape and clean. All sizes are accepted and there is currently a need for mater-nity wear.

Volunteers are welcome. Loxie Barr said that there is work for anyone, no matter what physical capabilities they have there is always something to do. Commu-

Dawn Sweet, Lewis County resident and fl ight nurse at the Quincy, Ill. Air Evac Lifeteam base, recently celebrated a major milestone in her career in the air ambu-lance industry – her 1,500th fl ight with Air Evac Lifeteam. Sweet, who has been with the company since 2002, was awarded her 1,500th mission “wings” in celebration of his achievement. She is only the second person at the Quincy base to reach the 1500 fl ight milestone.

Sweet has an Associate’s Degree in Nursing, and also works for Quincy’s Blessing Hospital in the emergency room. Serving the surround-ing communities drew her to Air Evac Lifeteam. “I was raised in a rural community,” Sweet said. “I know the im-portance of providing quality healthcare to rural America. I thought I could make an impact on people’s lives by working for Air Evac Life-team, and I have.”

Air Evac Lifeteam is a

leading provider of air medi-cal transportation to rural communities, providing high-caliber, on-the-scene medical attention during the critical hour following an ac-cident or medical emergency, and rapid transport to medi-cal centers. The membership-supported air ambulance ser-vice operates more than 110 bases in 15 centrally-located states. For information about Air Evac Lifeteam services, call 1-800-793-0010 or visit www.lifeteam.net.

Air Evac Program Director Scott Montgomery presented Dawn Sweet with her 1,500th fl ight “wings”.

St. Patrick Knights of Colum-bus will have a Fish Fry Feb. 22 at the Shrine of St. Patrick. Menu includes catfi sh, carp, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, dessert, and drink. Serving begins at 5 p.m. The public is invited.

Daffodil Days are back

This year’s Daffodil Days is coming to Lewis County on March 8-16, 2013. For more than 35 years, the American Cancer Society Daffo-dil Days® program has been making a differ-ence in the fi ght against cancer and providing hope for those facing the disease. Although Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils to do-nors every spring in ap-preciation for their con-tributions, it is about more than just giving beauti-ful fl owers; it is an opportunity to share hope for a world with less cancer and more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life.

The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers– anyone from school children to corpo-rate CEOs – to assist in taking requests for, pack-ing and delivering daffodils during February and March at work, in neighborhoods, in schools, and around town. To help make a difference in the fi ght against cancer through Daffodil Days, contact Lois McCutchan 2013 Daffodil Days Chairperson at 660-341-6820.

“I have been volunteering with the American Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days for many years,” said Lois McCutchan. “My father has recently un-dergone treatment for cancer. We can make a differ-ence in his fi ght and a difference in every person’s life who hears the words…you have cancer”. “See-ing the joy on people’s faces when we deliver daf-fodils gives me such a sense of pride; I know we’re giving hope to others.”

Lewis County residents have until Feb. 25, 2013 to place requests for daffodils. With a predeter-mined donation, supporters will receive a bouquet of fresh-cut daffodils and, more importantly, the knowledge that they are helping fi ght cancer. Also offered is an exclusive Boyds Bear, “Ray O. Hope”, and a bunch of Daffodils, and an American Cancer Society vase and bunch of Daffodils..

Dollars raised through Daffodil Days provide the Society with much-needed dollars to save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by fi nding cures through investment in ground-breaking discovery; and by fi ghting back by rally-ing lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fi ght.

For more information about Daffodil Days, to place an order or to get involved with the program, contact Lois McCutchan at 660-341-6820.

Kountry Skillet will open Feb. 23 in Canton at 305 Lewis, formerly the Riverside Smokehouse and Birds Nest restaurants. The business will open at 6 a.m. Saturday and will offer a breakfast buf-fet. That evening a chicken and fi sh buffet will be served beginning at 5 p.m.

Owner of the building, Lyle N Ludwig Sr worked on the renovations and his daughter, Cindy Sherwood, will operate the business

Cindy said that she was looking forward to go-ing back into business at that location. She worked for her Dad as a cook, waitress, and assistant man-ager from 1998 to 2009. She continued to work there for the Smokehouse Manager from 2009 to July 2011 and then went to the Buck’n Bull as cook when they opened in Feb 2012.

She has also worked at the Lewis County Nurs-ing home, in the kitchen, for a number of years.

Cindy said she plans to begin her operation as soon as the renovations are complete, the weekend of Feb. 22. Hours will be 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday

Kountry Skillet to Open

through Thursday. Those hours being extended in the near future. Friday and Saturday, the business will be open until 9:00 p.m.

Sherwood said she is planning a simple country menu with what she believes is favored by custom-ers and what she has experienced over the several years in the business. She also stated that a number of interested people have asked what she is going to specialize in and her reply is, everything we are go-ing to serve is special, but if there is one item that everyone had inquired about- the broasted chick-en her Dad introduced when he opened in 1998, and of course the restaurant will have the broasted chicken.

She said she also gets inquires about her skil-let breakfasts, which will be offered as well as the big breakfast special. Cindy also stated the her goal is to not specialize but to bring to her customers a down to earth menu that is appealing and affordable to the community. She looks forward to serving the community.

Nationally, the foster grandparent program has been in existence for 47 years. It is available in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The program has been available in northeast Missouri for 33 years with the following 12 counties currently involved in the program: Lewis, Marion, Ralls, Pike, Macon, Shelby, Monroe, Clark, Knox, Adair, Scotland and Schuyler. Adults 55 years and older serve children of need and adults with disabilities. Currently, there are 53 grandparents working in northeast Missouri.

The Foster Grandparent Program Advisory Council (FGPAC) meets several times a year. A meeting was held on Jan. 24 in the Heartland Re-sources, Inc. (HRI) Conference Room in Ewing.

A variety of reports were given at the meeting. One dealt with funding for the program. The Cor-poration of National Service provides some fund-ing as do small grants and other sources. An ex-ample of the latter was the FGPAC sponsored Ice Cream & Cake Social that was held on August 11, 2012 during the Ewing Park Days. Also, several

council members have been instrumental in helping with funding by writing letters or personally con-tacting businesses for monetary donations or gas cards. With the possibility of funding cuts to fed-eral programs, there is continuing need for related discussion and planning that could be implemented as needed.

A Martin Luther King, Jr. Project was sponsored by the foster grandparent program. Eight hats and 250 pairs of socks were collected and then donated to a school.

Two upcoming recognition opportunities were mentioned. These were Mayors Day of Recogni-tion for National Service in April and Senior Corps Week in May. More information will be available later.

Foster Grandparent In-services are held on a regular basis in addition to special ones. The Lewis County C-1 Foster Grandparents and the program director attended a special in-service on January 30 at Highland High School. They joined local faculty,

staff and others at the School Intruder Response Training presented by Strategos.

Anyone wishing more information on the Foster Grandparent Program or the Advisory Council is invited to contact Mary Miller, Director, at one of her offi ces.These are located at Heartland Resources, Inc. in Ewing and Douglass Community Services in Hannibal.

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor:Tuesday evening as I was coming up Highway 61 by the Wakonda State Park, an Iowa car passed me by the off ramp. A deer came from the east and the Iowa car hit the deer. I stopped and asked if anyone was hurt. The man said no but the deer did about $4,000 damage to his new car. The next day I used the same off ramp and half way up the hill was two piles of beans where the trucker had dumped the beans. The beans were in line with where the deer was hit. I got a shovel and shoveled up the beans. I use beans to put in my fi shing worm bed. If fer-mented or half rotten, corn and beans grow big fi shing worms. I shoveled up most of the beans, but there were lots of beans left in the gravel.This will draw deer for two weeks, or until the deer, with their front hoofs, will dig the beans out of the gravel. There

were deer tracks in the mud where it seemed like a whole herd of deer were eating the beans.We estimated seven bush-els of beans, worth approx-imately $100, the farmers or farmers lost, because of careless truckers. Besides already costing about $4000 damage to the dam-aged car that hit the deer. Fresh beans will draw deer from down wind for a half mile because of the deer’s keen nose.We must try to stop this hazardous type of mak-ing our highways unsafe. A pile of beans or corn could get someone injured or killed. Not only farm crops,but any fruit or grain that is put on the highways creates a hazard. Farm-ers who lose their grain and people who throw out food on the road, please take actions to correct this situation before any fatali-ties or injuries happen.

Producers Creamery closed in March 1973 after being in operation for over 40 years in downtown LaGrange. The building later became the LaGrange Medical Clinic and was torn down in 2011. Pictured are (l-r) employees Harold Vaughn, Betty Jean Wagner, Board members, President Lester Hoffman, Alvin Klauser, Denzil Prisner, J.P. Wallace, Pete Deters and Paul Bringer and manager Robert Farr. Part two of the story about the dairy business with Hoffman and Farr can be found elsewhere in this issue.

Pasture to Table Rita Cox

[email protected]

Lester Hoffman of Canton and Robert Farr of LaGrange, recall a time when the dairy business was a way of life for many Lewis County farmers. This is part two of the two men’s recollections of a time gone by.

Lester Hoffman of Canton and Robert Farr of LaGrange have been friends for many years. Both men grew up on farms and were in the dairy business. Hoffman was one of the main suppliers to Producers Creamery in LaGrange. Farr was employee and manager of the Creamery for several years. Both men milked cows at a young age.

Raising dairy cattle and milking cows each day was a big chore for every family who had dairy cattle.

Lester recalls one time in the early years of their marriage, water was over the road and he and Leta saddled a horse and took the cream out to the main road by horseback to get it to the dairy. Hoffman milked around thirty cows in those early years. Hoffman said when he milked by hand, he knew his cattle well, their personalities, which ones could be a little stubborn, the ones that were very gentle and the ones that produced the most milk.

Robert Farr said he really became interested in the dairy business when his dad, Richard Farr, Sr. purchased three registered Holsteins from Scott Meyer, of Hannibal, who was President of the Holstein-Friesian Association. Mr. Meyer would have Black and White Shows at the LaGrange City Park where they would show Holstein dairy cattle. Farr recently became acquainted with Mr. Meyer’s grandson, also named Scott, who spent a lot of time in LaGrange recently restoring the old Presbyterian Church. He lent Farr several books his grandfather had written. The elder Farr purchased seven Holsteins from Mr. Holbert of Lewistown.

Farr was involved in judging dairy cattle and in 1941 won a blue ribbon at state level in dairy cattle judging. The judging team consisted of Bill Schroeder, Fred Schaffer and Farr and they fi nished third in the state. Arnold Barber, former Lewis County agent was the 4-H leader.

Farr says in the 1960s his best milk producing cow was a Holstein he named Logan, that he purchased from a Mr. Logan who had a farm between Lewistown and LaBelle. The cow would produce a can of milk a day, around 85 pounds and her teats were 32 inches apart on her udder. Logan had twin calves around 1964.

Hoffman was Board of Directors President for the Producers Creamery and the two men worked closely together. Farr would pick up milk at the Hoffman farm. Farr recalls being at the Hoffman farm very early one morning and was having trouble with the milk truck so he left it running while he went into the milking parlor and came out to fi nd the truck had rolled through a gate and Hoffman’s Holstein bull was sleeping nearby. Farr had to hurry and get in the truck and get it out of the pen and close the gate before the not so gentle bull found him. He said he didn’t know who was more scared, the bull or him.

Keeping a milking parlor clean was a hard job, but it was a priority of the farmers, with the job usually falling to the children. Farr recalls talking with Hoffman’s daughter Patricia early one morning and noticing her fi nger was hurt. She was doing her normal chore of cleaning the parlor and Farr asked what was wrong. She said she had broken her fi nger, but she was working hard to get her chores done, not letting a broken bone stop her. Patricia Miller is currently a Title 1 Elementary teacher at Canton school.

Producers Creamery Co was established in 1928 and it suppled milk and cream to other dairies in the tri-state area. Dairies in Quincy and Hannibal were their largest customers. Producers Creamery also had a small glass bottling operation.

In it’s peak, over 200 farmers were selling milk to Producers Creamery, They received approximately 50,000 pounds of milk daily and over 600 cans of milk went through the plant each day.

The business fl ourished in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. In the 1960s, a lot of farmers quit milking because it became more profi table to raise crops and beef cattle. Milking cows was a twice a day, seven day a week job. Many dairies were closing so the Creamery had a limited supply of milk.

Part three of this story will appear in next week’s edition.

Canton Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and Culver-Stockton College celebrated their historic and ongoing re-lationship during a special worship ser-vice Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013 at the Can-ton Christian Church. This year’s event was especially meaningful, as it marked Culver-Stockton’s 160th year, as it was founded by church members in 1853.

Members of the church, as well as College faculty and students shared the duties in the annual Heritage Sunday service. College President Richard Val-entine renewed the covenant between the church and College with Pastor Mandy Gosik, an alumna of Culver-Stockton. Dr. Andrew Walsh, professor of religion and philosophy, was the worship leader and C-SC Chaplain Amanda Sorenson gave the Benediction. C-SC student, Spencer Waters, and C-SC alumna, Jes-sie Krumei ’10, read the scriptures dur-ing the service. Dr. Anda Zirnitis accom-

panied John Ireland on the piano, and Dr. Elliot Jones directed C-SC’s Collegiate Choir as they sang during the Covenant Renewal. Many other faculty and staff were present in their academic regalia. Over 165 at-tended.

After the service, visitors and members were invited to a carry-in luncheon held in the

church’s lower level fellowship hall. Canton Chris-tian Church services: Sunday school for ages pre-school through adult, 9:30 a.m.; worship, 10:45 a.m.; fellow-ship follows. All are welcome. For more informa-tion about the church, or for a ride to services, call the church offi ce, 573-288-3018.

Troop B Officers To Step Up Seat Belt EnforcementCaptain James E. Wilt, commanding offi cer of Troop B, Macon, announces on Feb. 22, 2013, Troop B offi cers will be joining statewide efforts with other law enforcement agencies for an aggressive “Click It Or Ticket” mobilization to get more motorists to buckle up -- and save more lives. Despite evidence proving the benefi ts of wearing a seat belt, nearly one in four Missouri motorists are still not “making it click.” Preliminary 2012 statistics show 64 percent of individuals killed in Missouri traffi c crashes were unrestrained. “Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It Or Ticket enforcement,” stated Captain Wilt. “We will be out there to remind you that seat belts can and do save lives.”

The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. with a free meal and the program will begin at

6:45 p.m. Local farmers should plan to attend this outstanding opportunity to learn more about improving herd profi tability and productivity.
