During the one hundred and fi ft y-seventh Commencement Ceremony, scheduled for May 18, 2013, Culver-Stockton College is recognizing two individuals for their decades of service and commitment to the College and its mission.

Left wich and Gorrell are longtime trustees for C-SC, and both have worked tirelessly to advance the mission of the College.

“Both Ron and Larry’s long tenure and many years outstand-ing service and active participation, at Culver-Stockton College and in their personal communities, make them very worthy of this honor,” said College President Richard Valentine. “Many have greatly benefi ted from their service, and we could think of no better individuals for this honor.”

Ron Left wich graduated from Culver-Stockton in 1964 with his Bachelor of Science in business administration. Seven days aft er graduation, he began working at Shell Oil Company. He worked there for the duration of his career, retiring in 2002 as the company’s treasurer. Left wich was elected to the Culver-Stockton board of trustees in 1990, and is currently the board chairman. He serves on many committees for the board, including sitting as chair of the executive committee and the former chair of the fi -nance committee. He also serves on the academic aff airs commit-tee. Left wich is a dedicated serviceman, volunteering for more

than a decade with both Junior Achievement and the United Way. “I am beyond honored and completely humbled and sur-

prised,” said Left wich. “All I am trying to do is give back to the college that gave so much to me.”

Larry Gorrell graduated from Culver-Stockton in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science in business administration and fi nance. Gorrell is fi rst vice president of the Investment Offi ce for Wells Fargo Advisors in Quincy, Ill. Gorrell was elected to the Culver-Stockton board of trustees in 1984 and is currently the board vice chairman. Gorrell sits on multiple committees for the board, including chairing the investment committee and the trustee-ship committee. He also sits on the audit committee, the execu-tive committee and the fi nance committee. Gorrell also served on the alumni board, acting as alumni board president for two years. Gorrell is very active within the Quincy community and has acted as treasurer for Quincy School District #172, as well as director of the Quincy Symphony Orchestra.

“I was surprised and honored to be inducted into such an il-lustrious set of individuals,” said Gorrell. “It is an honor to serve with all the people who have Culver-Stockton College as a top priority and who hold it close to their hearts.”

Th ese are the fi rst honorary degrees awarded by Culver-Stock-ton since 2011. Others to have been recognized

Te MFA Oil Foundation has awarded a grant to the Lewis County Agricultural Fair Association to be ap-plied toward the cost of replacing the roof on the beef barn.

Th e MFA Oil Founda-tion which was established in 1998, provides support to nonprofi t organizations that are working to im-prove communities where MFA Oil has a signifi cant concentration of members and employees.

MFA Oil President Jerry Taylor described the MFA

Oil Foundation as “a pro-gram that allows our com-pany to fi ve support back to the small towns and rural communities that are the foundation of our busi-ness.” He said focus for se-lecting grant recipients is on three areas; programs designed to build knowl-edge and leaderships skills of rural youth, agricultural and cooperative education programs, and organiza-tions active in addressing and solving community problems and improving the quality of life.

A member of U.S. Con-gressman Sam Graves’ staff is holding Mobile Of-fi ce stops. Graves’ Mobile Offi ce will tour the district giving constituents the op-portunity to speak with a member of his staff .

“I have always believed you learn more by listen-ing than talking. My pri-ority in Congress is con-stituent service and the Mobile Offi ce is an addi-tional opportunity for me to stay in contact with the people of the Sixth Dis-trict. I encourage everyone to come by these informal sessions to discuss their views or receive assistance

with federal agencies,” said Graves.

Th e Mobile Offi ce pro-vides regular contact for communities and individ-uals who have a question or problem with federal government agencies.

Th e Mobile Offi ce schedule for May 2013 is as follows for the area: Tuesday, May 21University of Missouri Extension, Edina – 8 a.m.Lewis County Industrial Development Author-ity, Monticello – 9:30 a.m. City Hall Kahoka – 2 p.m.Northeast Missouri Re-gional Planning Council, Memphis – 3:30 p.m.

MoDOT to Begin Mowing Roadsides

MoDOT crews will begin mowing roadsides across North-east Missouri and many places all over the state. Th e goal is to complete the mowing of all state roads to provide good visibility at intersections and a pleasant though not manicured appear-ance, weather and ground condi-tions permitting.

Th e mowing plan for the Northeast District: Drivers will see tractors and protective “fol-low” trucks mowing along busy freeways and expressways. Mow-ing operation will then move to rural two-lane roads in the 17-county Northeast area with tractors and protective “follow” trucks. State routes on highways and streets through cities, smal-ler towns and suburban areas also will be mowed. Tractors and “fol-low” trucks will be on the road Monday through Th ursday and some Fridays each week through-out the summer.

In most areas, tractors will make one pass, making cuts of six feet to 15 feet wide, depend-

ing on terrain and obstructions.Between mowing cycles, mo-torists who see grass and weeds blocking visibility at road or street intersections along state roads should call MoDOT, and work-ers will respond and cut away the visual obstruction.

For drivers who come up be-hind a mowing operation: Be alert for trucks and tractors with lights fl ashing and moving slowly, 2 mph to 5 mph. Slow down and focus on the road ahead of you. Avoid talking on a cell phone or other distractions. Be prepared to stop or drive very slowly be-hind a “follow” truck, especially approaching a hill or curve on a two-lane road. Pass when you can see far enough past the “follow” truck to avoid meeting oncoming traffi c. Pass the tractor when it is safe.

For more information con-tact MoDOT’s Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK MoDOT (275-6636) or online at www.modot.mo.gov/northeast.

by Culver-Stockton with honorary degrees include radio journalist Paul Harvey, philanthropist Gladys Crown, poet Gwendolyn Brooks, former Culver-Stockton president Robert W. Brown and local businessman Don Gnuse.

Th e Culver-Stockton College Com-mencement Ceremony will take place on the lawn of the Quadrangle (adjacent to Henderson Hall). In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the Joe Charles Field House. Seating will begin at 7:30 a.m. on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis. Tickets are not required for commencement. Th e speaker for this year’s ceremony is Dr. Lee Hammer, re-tiring professor of English. Additional information about the commencement ceremonies for graduates and guests is available at www.culver.edu/commence-ment.

USDA will conduct a four-week general sign-up for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), beginning May 20 and ending on June 14. CRP protects the nation’s natu-ral resources through vol-untary participation, while providing signifi cant eco-nomic and environmental benefi ts to rural commu-nities across the United States.

Currently, about 27 million acres are enrolled in CRP. Producers that are accepted in the program can receive cost-share assistance to plant long-

term, resource-conserving covers and receive an an-nual rental payment for the length of the contract which is 10-15 years.

Contracts on 3.3 mil-lion acres of CRP are set to expire on Sept. 30, 2013. Producers with expir-ing contracts or produc-ers with environmentally sensitive land are encour-aged to evaluate their op-tions under CRP. For more information on CRP and other FSA programs, contact the Lewis Coun-ty Service in Monticello (573)767-5274.

National Missing Children’s DayEvery year on May 25,

Missourians are asked to remember the children who stare back from the posters of the missing. Th ese are the faces of children who have been stolen from their families, run away from their fam-ilies, or have been aban-doned by their families. Regardless of the reason, these missing youth are in danger every day. It is the goal of National Missing Children’s Day to bring public attention to the growing problem of miss-ing children.

President Ronald Re-agan fi rst proclaimed Na-tional Missing Children’s Day on May 25, 1983. It now serves as an annual reminder to Missouri and the nation that everyone can play a part in bring-ing a missing child home, and in preventing the oc-currence of future miss-ing children. All Missouri citizens are encouraged to drive with their headlights on throughout the day on May 25, to “light the way home” for our missing youth. Th e wearing of a white ribbon also symbol-izes the continued fi ght to return children safely

home.In 2012, 5,561 children

were reported missing to Missouri law enforcement agencies. Th ese missing reports included run-aways, family abductions, and non-family abduc-tions. At the end of 2012, 91 of these children were still missing. Th us far in 2013, there have been 1,966 children reported missing, 1,787 of which have been located.

Th e Missouri Missing Persons Clearinghouse re-minds all parents and

guardians to talk to children about child safety issues as a pro-active

approach to curbing child abduction. In the same manner as remind-ing children to look both ways before crossing the street, children should be reminded oft en to follow these safety rules:

CHECK FIRST: Check fi rst with a trusted adult before going anywhere

or accepting anything from anyone.

TAKE A BUDDY: Never go alone; always take a friend. If a child MUST go somewhere alone, remind them to call before leaving, stay on a

protected path, and check in upon arrival.

SAY NO: Know that it is OK to say, “NO!” Teach children to tell a

trusted adult if some-thing makes them scared or uncomfortable.

BE SAFE: Remind chil-dren they always have the right to stay safe.

Parents and guardians should have an emergency child identifi cation kit. To create a child identifi ca-tion kit at home, simply place a quality

photograph, such as a school picture, in a fi le with up-to-date informa-tion outlining the child’s height, weight, date of birth, hair color, eye color, guardian information, address, and distinguish-ing features such as scars, moles, glasses, braces, etc. Since children grow quickly and change a lot, the information should be updated at least once a year. Th e Patrol’s Missing Persons Clearinghouse has a Child ID System, which can be taken to schools, health and safety fairs, and civic meetings upon request to make ree, wallet-sized child ID cards for parents.

Two critical tools in the fi ght against missing chil-dren are the Amber

Alert Program and the Missouri Endangered Per-sons Advisory. Th e mis-sion of the Amber Alert Program is to develop and coordinate the eff orts of law enforcement, the me-dia, and transportation in order to increase public participation in safely re-covering abducted chil-dren through targeted education, increased com-munication, and eff ective sharing of resources. In 2012, two statewide Am-ber Alerts were issued for six missing children, and all six of those children were recovered safely. Th e Missouri Endangered Persons Advisory was es-tablished in 2007, to pro-tect missing persons who might not fall under the strict criteria established by the Amber Alert Plan.

For more information on child safety and Am-ber Alerts, or if you would like a child ID presenta-tion at your local event, please contact the Missing Persons Clearinghouse at (573) 526-6178, or online at www.mshp.dps.mo.gov.

though, is there just isn’t enough funding to support highway expansion and major upgrades, including a replacement bridge on US 54 over the Mississippi River at Louisiana, or the Hannibal Expressway,” he added.

Th e public is invited to comment on the draft fi ve-year program between May 1 and May 31 at http://on.mo.gov/12jyVc2. A hard copy of the docu-ment is available at both the Hannibal District Of-fi ce and the Macon Re-gional Offi ce, and com-ments can also be made by calling customer service at 1-888-275-6636.

Following the public review period, the com-ments will be presented to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Com-mission. Th e Commission will review the comments and the fi nal transporta-tion program before con-sidering it for approval at its July 10 meeting in Rolla.

Motorcyclists and mo-torists are encouraged to safely “share the road” this May in observation of Motorcycle Safety Aware-ness Month. All motorists are reminded to watch for motorcycles and to be ex-tra alert to help keep mo-torcyclists safe, while mo-torcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists. Th ere were 276 motorcyclists killed from 2010-2012.

“We’re seeing more and more motorcycles on the highways,” said Leanna Depue, chair of the Mis-souri Coalition for Road-way Safety’s executive committee. “Drivers of all vehicles need to be extra attentive. A motorcycle is one of the smallest vehicles on our roads, oft en hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot. Everyone needs to watch for motorcycles.”

Very oft en, drivers of cars and trucks don’t see motorcycles until the last

second. And sometimes not at all. Motorcycle op-erators have to anticipate the moves of other drivers and be extra cautious of road conditions and debris.

“Motorcyclists have re-sponsibilities, too,” Depue says. “Th ey should fol-low the rules of the road, be alert to other drivers, never ride while impaired or distracted, and always wear a Department of Transportation-compliant helmet and other protect-ive gear.”

Motorcycle experts re-commend motorcyclists also complete some type of training before getting out on the road. Th ere are 29 training locations in Missouri. You can fi nd the one nearest you at www.mmsp.org.

Drew Smith, seven year old son of Cecil and Mary Ann Smith was recently recognized at the annual meeting of the Durham Commu-

nity Center and Ball Park as being the youngest volunteer at the cen-ter. Drew attends games and other events and helps by picking up to

keep the grounds looking good. He has done this since he was 5 years old.

Volunteers are always needed at the Community Center and as can be seen in the case of Drew, it doesn’t matter if they are young or old, there is a job for everyone.

Th e Durham Community Center & Ball Park are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year with special events planned including the 50th annual fi sh fry and carnival which will take place on June 22.

Th e Community Center was es-tablished in 1963 aft er the Durham School was destroyed in a fi re. A group of people in the area met to-gether, donated money and bought the grounds. Th roughout the years there have been many changes in-cluding the addition of one of the best ball parks in Lewis County.

Th is has all been done with a lot of hard work from volunteers, as well as many fund raisers, donations and help from businesses in the area.

Lewis County Executive Director John Wheeler for USDA Farm Ser-vice Agency (FSA) reminds produc-ers that June 3, 2013, is the fi nal day to enroll in the Average Crop Rev-enue Protection (ACRE) program for the 2013 crop year. ACRE is a revenue-based safety net, as opposed to the price-based safety net pro-vided by counter-cyclical payments through the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP).

Th e American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended both the ACRE and DCP programs for the 2013 crop year. Th e extension allows producers to choose to enroll either program for 2013. Th e program provisions are unchanged from 2012, except that eligible producers who were en-rolled in ACRE in 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013 or may re-en-roll in ACRE in 2013. Likewise, pro-ducers who were enrolled in DCP

may opt for ACRE enrollment. To enroll in ACRE, producers

should contact Lewis County FSA offi ce at (573) 767-5274 to sched-ule an appointment by the June 3rd deadline. Th e deadline to enroll in DCP is August 2.

For more information on the ACRE and DCP programs, visit the Lewis County Offi ce or www.fsa.usda.gov.

Missouri’s Rural Electric leaders attend conference

Making sure that electric bills are af-fordable to consumers across the nation was the focus of the nearly 2,500 electric cooperative leaders who descended on Washington, D.C., April 28-30 for a leg-islative conference sponsored by the Na-tional Rural Electric Cooperative Associ-ation. Representatives from the 900-plus electric cooperatives nationwide visited Capitol Hill offi ces during the conference to discuss a wide range of issues, includ-ing climate change, Rural Utilities Service loans and energy effi ciency, with Con-gressional staff .

Travis Mathes, member services man-ager for Lewis County Rural Electric Co-

operative, Lewistown, along with direc-tors Larry Clark and Ned Daggs, were part of a 51-strong group of rural electric leaders from Missouri who took part in the annual legislative rally.

While at the conference, the Associa-tion of Missouri Electric Cooperatives, Jeff erson City, and Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc., Springfi eld, co-hosted a reception to honor NRECA’s new CEO Jo Ann Emerson. Emerson, a nine-term Missouri House member and long-time friend of Missouri’s electric cooperatives, Emerson continues to carry on her mis-sion to “change lives and make a diff er-ence.”

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon

visited Canton R-V School on

Jan. 31. He spoke to students

about his plans to increase

school funding and to recog-

nize the school for its continued

academic excellence. Canton

R-V Schools have been accred-

ited “with distinction” for seven

consecutive years by the State

of Missouri. After his speech,

the Governor asked Canton bas-

ketball player Austin Hoewing

to shoot a few baskets with him.

In his State of the State speech

given on Jan. 28, the Governor

had called for $100 million in

additional funding for K-12

rooms, and a four percent

$34 million for col-

The Gov-des

Governor Nixon Visits Canton School

Schools program statewide. An

additional $17 million is pro-

posed for early childhood edu-

cation. Nixon visited the Early

Childhood classroom before he

spoke to students and teachers

in the Canton gym.

During his visit, Nixon said

that “As a result of our relent-

less focus on fi scal discipline

and job creation, businesses re

hiring, our economy is grow-

ing, and unemployment has

dropped to a four year low.

As we continue to balance the

budget and make government

more effi cient, we now have

an opportunity to make smart,

strategic investments in educa-

tion that will expand opportu-

nities for students and strength-

en our economy for years to

come.”

“Early childhood education is

proven to boost achievement

in school and improve oppor-

tunities later in life, a smart

estment with a big return,”

Gov. Nixon said. “These addi-

tional funds will help that every

young child in our state comes

to school ready to learn and

ready to succeed.”

In a press release from the

Governor’s offi ce, the more

than $100 million in additional

funding for K-12 classrooms

will help to train more teach-

ers, modernize classrooms and

extend Missouri’s school year.

Under Gov. Nixon’s proposal,

Missouri’s school year will be

extended to the national aver-

age of at least 180 days.

After his speech, Nixon invited

Canton basketball team mem-

ber Austin Hoewing to come

down on court and shoot a few

baskets with him. The Gov-

ernor attempted several free

throw shots that were close, but

not through the hoop. Hoewing

showed the Governor why his

team is undefeated by sinking

his fi rst sh

ot to the applause of

the student body. The Governor

seemed to enjoy challenging

Hoewing and applauded and

smiled when Austin made his

fi rst shot. Nixon spoke with

Hoewing for several minutes

and autographed the basketball

and presented it to Austin. For

the record, the Governor did

make a couple of baskets.

In an interview with the Gov-

ernor after his speech, he was

asked how parents and students

can feel safe at school, with

so many shootings happening

across the country. Nixon said

that by continuing to fund edu-

cation, provide more funding

and education for mental health

disabilities and awareness, con-

tinue to provide more training

to law enforcement, teachers

students and work as a com

munity and state to protect o

children together, He said

is not in favor of teachers

ing armed. He said safe sch

should be a haven for stud

Th e fi rst summer holiday weekend will soon be here! Memorial Day weekend is an opportuni-ty for Missourians to enjoy the many recreational possibilities in this great state. Whether you will be visiting family, going to one of Missouri’s lakes, or enjoying other travel destinations, the Missouri State Highway Patrol urges everyone to think about safety when making plans for the upcoming holiday weekend. Holidays should be enjoyed, but enjoyed responsibly. Be aware of construction along your route, pay attention while you are driving, and buckle up. If alcohol is part of your holiday, make sure driving a vehicle or a vessel is not.

Th e Patrol will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Eff ort) during the long holiday weekend. Th is means ev-ery available offi cer will be on the road enforcing traffi c laws and assisting motorists. In addition, the Patrol will assign troopers to 20-mile inter-vals along Interstates 35, 44, 55, and 70, and U.S. Highways 60 and 63 on May 24, 2013 and May 27, 2013. Troopers taking part in the 20-Mile Trooper enforcement project will be alert for all traffi c off enses, and be especially vigilant to ag-gressive driving violations.

Motorists or boaters in need of assistance or who want to report a crime should use the Highway Patrol's Emergency Assistance number 1-800-525-5555 or *55 on a cellular phone. For road condition reports, travelers can visit our web site at www.mshp.dps.mo.gov and click on the Road Condition icon to view road construc-tion areas throughout the state or call 1-888-275-

6636.Over the 2012 Memorial Day holiday week-

end, nine people died and 355 were injured in 944 traffi c crashes. Last year, 184 persons were arrested for DWI. Th is year's fatality counting period for the holiday weekend begins at 6 p.m., Friday, May 24, and ends at 11:59 p.m., Monday, May 27, 2013. Troopers will focus their attention on seat belt use, use of child safety seats, intoxi-cated drivers, and speed violations.

Motorists are encouraged to be safe and cour-teous drivers. Speed, inattention, and impaired driving are leading causes of traffi c crashes.

Please do your part. Obey all traffi c laws and buckle up. Th e Memorial Day weekend is also an unoffi cial start to the boating season. During the 2012 Memorial Day weekend, there were eight boating accidents with eight injuries and zero fa-talities. No one drowned over the holiday week-end. Offi cers arrested 38 people for boating while intoxicated.

Boating is a great pastime and troopers want everyone to enjoy themselves. Please be courte-ous to others on the water, wear a lifejacket, and obey the law regarding safe operation of a vessel and no wake zones. Never operate a boat while intoxicated.

"I encourage every driver—of a vehicle or a vessel—to make safety part of their three-day weekend plans," said Colonel Ron Replogle, su-perintendent of the Missouri State Highway Pa-trol. "Please, DON’T drink and drive. We want all of you to have a safe, enjoyable holiday weekend.”

Four Canton Track Athletes Qualify for Sectionals, Advance to StateKyle Ellison has been named the new

Varsity Girl’s Basketball coach at High-land High School. Ellison was hired by the Lewis County C-1 Board of Educa-tion on May 8.

Ellison is a 2009 Highland High grad-uate and a May 2013 Culver-Stockton grad. While attending Highland, Ellison participated in football, basketball, and baseball. At Culver-Stockton, he was a member of the men’s basketball team. El-lison will teach P.E./Health at Highland and also serve as an assistant varsity foot-ball coach.

Highland Athletic Director, Ben Buening said “We at Highland are excited to welcome Kyle to our athletic family. As a graduate of Highland High School, Kyle knows what is expected of our ath-letic teams and coaches and we believe Kyle will live up to those high expecta-tions.” “Kyle is excited to be coming on board and is jumping head fi rst into his new positions. He has met with the girls and has also met with our head football coach and is excited to get things started this summer. Kyle is a welcome addition to our school.”

Ellison named Highland Coach

Culver-Stockton College has an-nounced that Iain Bradbury will step down as the head men’s volleyball coach eff ective at the end of the month.

Bradbury, who was hired as the inau-gural head men’s volleyball coach July 23, 2012, to start recruiting and building the program toward its fi rst season of com-petition this upcoming school year, cited personal and family reasons for his de-parture.

“I am stepping down as head coach for personal and family reasons and the decision was extremely diffi cult because of the support of community members, faculty, staff and students at C-SC,” said Bradbury. “I really have a family in Can-ton that is diffi cult for me to leave. I have enjoyed my time at C-SC and will contin-ue to cheer on the Wildcats in their inau-gural season.

“I am proud of the work that we have all done to bring these amazing students together for this program - this is a great team already. Th is program is in great shape and has a very healthy and strong foundation to continue on its journey of success in NAIA volleyball.”

Bradbury has spent the last nine months recruiting student-athletes to form the inaugural men’s volleyball team at Culver-Stockton, inking 15 student-athletes to date. Th e Wildcats are expect-

ed to take the court in January 2014 for its fi rst season of competition.

“I am incredibly grateful for the sup-port of (Athletic Director) Greg McVey, (President) Richard Valentine and (Women’s Volleyball Coach) Caren Kem-ner throughout my time here at Culver-Stockton College,” said Bradbury. “It was an incredibly diffi cult decision to leave C-SC and I know that this men’s volley-ball program is going to continue to grow with excitement and enthusiasm.

“Th e recruiting class coming in is in-credibly talented and will be great am-bassadors to the community and excel-lent representations of Culver-Stockton College. I cannot thank Caren, President Valentine and Greg enough for the work they’ve done and their support in my de-cision to step down.”

“We thank Iain for his contributions to Culver-Stockton since he was hired last July, especially the passion, dedication and energy he brought to the Hill every single day,” said C-SC Athletic Director Greg McVey. “Iain has worked hard to transition our men’s volleyball program from an idea on paper to actual student-athletes that will help us compete in our fi rst season in January.”

Th e school has already begun a search for Bradbury’s replacement and hopes to have a successor in place soon.

Season End For Several School Sports

Chase Wilson, 17-year-old Oyster Prairie 4-H member, placed fi ft h in the World Archery Tournament in Las Vegas. He has been a Lewis County 4-H mem-ber for nine years and has been shooting competitively for eight years. “It’s the big-gest thing in my life,” he said. “Once you fi nd out about it, you get hooked on it.”

He, too, takes a disciplined approach to the sport. “It’s a challenge. It’s just like any other sport,” he said. “You have to put in the time and work.”

Indoor shooting competitions re-quire that 30 arrows be shot in an intense round. Th is is where practice and stamina pay off . “You have to have muscle memo-ry to shoot over and over again,” he said.

Wilson is expected to graduate as vale-dictorian of his senior class this year at Highland High School. He has been ac-cepted at the University of Missouri and

Two of the nation’s top youth archery champions are members of 4-H clubs in northeastern Missouri. Cassie Hancock, 13, and Chase Wilson, 17, took high honors in a recent Las Vegas competition. Both say participation in 4-H helped them gain the skills needed to put them on target for success.

4-H members aim high in archery competition

plans to major in chemical engineering.Wilson set a goal of competing on the

Missouri 4-H team at the 4-H National Shooting Sports Invitational. He accom-plished this in 2010, competing on the state compound archery team with a trip to Kerrville, Texas, where the archery team helped the Missouri team win fi rst overall. In 2012 he learned a new disci-pline and competed on the Missouri re-curve archery team in Grand Island, Neb.

His mother, Kim Jennings-Wilson, a 1988 graduate of MU’s College of Agri-culture, Food and Natural Resources, had participated in the now-defunct Walnut Grove 4-H Club in Lewis County for about 10 years when she was a child.

She feels that her son’s participation in 4-H helped him develop self-discipline and goal-setting skills that will aid him in college and life. As a 4-H offi cer and

member of Future Busi-ness Leaders of America, he gained confi dence in public speaking and had the opportunity to travel in and out of the state. “4-H teaches them to do the dirty work in order to do the fun things. So it’s like real life. You have to do the work in order to play,” his mother said.

Cassie Hancock, a 13-year-old member of the Marion County Silver Spurs 4-H Club, recently took fourth place in the youth division of the World Archery Tournament in Las Vegas. Hancock is one of nearly 2,000 archery par-ticipants in the state’s 4-H program, according to Uni-versity of Missouri Exten-sion 4-H specialist Gerry Snapp.

Hancock took top hon-ors in her division at the Missouri Bowhunters As-sociation State Indoor Championship in Linn re-cently and broke the state record she set the previous year. She also won against 33 female competitors in her age division in the Na-tional Field Archery As-sociation National Indoor Championship in Louis-ville, Ky., in early March. Th is is the second-largest shoot in the U.S., second only to the Las Vegas shoot that she took honors in ear-lier.

Business faculty at Culver-Stockton College present at International Business Conference

Th ree Culver-Stockton business faculty presented at the Annual Confer-ence for the Internation-al Assembly for Colle-giate Business Education (IACBE). Dr. Kim Gaith-er, professor fi nance and chair of the Business Divi-sion, Dr. James Cosgrove, professor of business, and Eric Larson, lecturer in business, co-presented at the conference, held April 17-19 in Orlando, Fla.

Th e presentation pro-vided the audience with an overview of the College and its history in changing to a new calendar and cur-riculum. Th e three profes-sors spoke about what they had learned with C-SC’s transition to the 12/3 calendar, now fi ve years into its implemen-tation. Th e presentation was titled “Innovations in Education,” and it was the second time Culver-Stockton has made this presentation to during the IACBE conference. Last year, Dr. Susan Deege and Dr. Cosgrove presented it, and C-SC was asked to come back this year to do it again. Gaither, Cosgrove and Larson also attended and became part of a panel on short-term study abroad ex-periences while at the conference.

IACBE is the accrediting body for smaller, teaching-based programs in the business-fi eld. In addition to pre-senting, Culver-Stockton College was also reaffi rmed by the IACBE review team during the conference. Th e IACBE was founded in 1997 in response to ex-pressed needs of higher education personnel who wanted an accreditation process that was mission-driven and outcomes-based.

Two Culver-Stockton College alumni and current Canton R-V School District teachers have been recognized for their exceptional work in the classroom. Mary Bowman ‘11, fi ft h and sixth grade science teacher, and Josh Heitman ‘12, tenth-twelft h grade social studies teacher, were recently recognized as Outstanding Be-ginning Teachers by Th e Missouri Asso-ciation for Colleges of Teacher Education (MACTE).

At the spring conference of MACTE, held April 25 in Columbia, Mo., a total of 64 outstanding teachers were recognized for their excellence in serving children during their fi rst two years of service in school districts across Missouri. Th irty-seven of Missouri’s private and public institutions of higher education, off er-ing state and nationally recognized pro-grams, honored these professionals who completed education programs at their respective institutions. Award recipients

were selected based on evaluations of outstanding graduates completed by their college or university, and recommen-dations from the school district which deemed the teacher as highly eff ective in their fi rst two years in the classroom.

Present at the awards ceremony was Dr. Tim Wall, MACTE president along with several other members of the MACTE board, and Dr. Gale (Hap) Hairston, di-rector of educator preparation at the Mis-souri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Each recipient was awarded an engraved plaque to display in their classroom. MACTE recognizes the contribution of these fi ne teachers, as well as all of our excellent, highly qualifi ed teachers throughout Missouri who serve and educate our students. Bowman and Heitman were accompanied by Culver-Stockton College education faculty, Dr. Terry Sherer and Barb Tripp.

Canton Teachers and Cul-ver-Stockton Alumni were recognized recently for their work as teachers.

Graduation speeches are always a part of the cer-emony, some of the bigger universities have well-known speakers who speak the truth to the young graduates and inspire them to do big things. Here are a few quotes from some of the more memorable speeches obtained from several internet sources,

Aaron Sorkin to Syracuse University in May 2012“Make no mistake about it, you are dumb. You’re a

group of incredibly, well-educated dumb people. I was there. We all were there. You’re barely functional. Th ere are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups, but the screw-ups, they’re a-coming for ya. It’s a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.”

Conan O’Brien to his alma mater Harvard University in May 2000

“As you leave these gates and re-enter society, one thing is certain. Everyone out there is going to hate you. Never tell anyone in a roadside diner that you went to Harvard. In those situations, the correct response to, ‘Where did you go to school?’ is ‘School? I never had much in the way of book learnin’ and such.’ And then get in your BMW and get the hell out of there.”

Stephen Colbert to his alma mater Northwestern Uni-versity in June 2011

“In 1986, our commencement speaker was George Schultz, secretary of state, fourth in line to the president. You get me—basic cable’s second most popular fake newsman. At this rate, the class of 2021 will be addressed by a zoo parrot in a mortar-board that has been trained to say “congratulations.”

J. K. Rowling to Harvard University in June 2008“I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do,

ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and nei-ther of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that would never pay a mortgage or secure a pension. I know that the irony strikes with the force of a cartoon anvil, now.”

Bono to the University of Pennsylvania in May 2004“I love America because America is not just a coun-

try, it’s an idea. You see my country, Ireland, is a great country, but it’s not an idea. America is an idea, but it’s an idea that brings with it some baggage, like power brings responsibility. It’s an idea that brings with it equality, but

equality, even though it’s the highest calling, is the hard-est to reach. Th e idea that anything is possible, that’s one of the reasons why I’m a fan of America. It’s like ‘Hey, look there’s the moon up there, let’s take a walk on it, bring back a piece of it.’ Th at’s the kind of America that I’m a fan of.”

Bill Gates to Harvard in 2007“I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this:

‘Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.’ I want to thank Harvard for this honor. I’ll be changing my job next year and it will be nice to fi nally have a col-lege degree on my resume!”

Steve Jobs to Stanford in 2005“Death is very likely the single best invention of life.

It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new…. Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own in-ner voice, heart and intuition.”
