Champ Clark Bust Among Art Damaged At Capitol

BY BRENT ENGELCONTRIBUTING WRITER

The statue of a Northeast Mis-souri man who almost became pres-ident was among artwork damagedduring a protest at the Capitol lastweek.The extent of harm to the Champ

Clark bust was not immediatelyclear. Representatives of the groupthat oversees Clark’s historic homein Bowling Green were notified Fri-day, two days after the violence.A representative said the bust and

several others were doused with cor-rosive materials and had been takento the Smithsonian Institution for re-pair.“It has been reported that a bust

of Bowling Green's Champ Clarkwas damaged during the mob vio-lence that took place in our nation'sCapitol on Jan. 6,” said Larry Twell-man, board president of ChampClark Honey Shuck Restoration Inc.“We regret the mindless behavior ofthose who invaded and damaged ourseat of government. Those who par-ticipated should be held liable.”The statue was one of the first of

government leaders designed byRussian immigrant Moses Dykaar.Clark, who came within an eyelashof winning the 1912 Democrat pres-idential nomination that went toWoodrow Wilson, agreed to multi-

ple sittings for the 34-year-old artistfrom April to July 1918. Dykaarsculpted the clay replica and the fin-ished marble in Clark’s Capitol Hilloffice.“I put a lot of time on it—two

months on the clay model alone, andwas just as slow with the marble,”said Dykaar, who had been in Amer-ica for only a year.The project attracted the attention

of newspapers nationwide.“It is considered a remarkable

likeness,” reported the WashingtonEvening Star. The American JewishWorld said it was “receiving consid-erable favorable attention.” Othersran a headline over a photo of Clark

and the completed piece that said“When Champ Clark meets Champ,Why One Says “Howdy,” Other Oneis Mum.”In his 1927 book “Art and Artists

of the Capitol,” author Charles Fair-man called the sculpture “a cleverlikeness of the former Speaker” andsaid it showed his “calm attitude sooften noted at times when the meritsof a question were being determinedin something of a judicial manner.”

The bust – which measures 25inches tall by 24 inches wide and alittle over a foot thick – was for-mally dedicated in 1925 in the maincorridor between the House Cham-bers and Statutory Hall.It originally was erected across

from a marble likeness of IllinoisRepublican James Mann, who hadbeen House Minority Leader whileClark was Speaker and a good friendof the Missourian. The placementwas designed to show the bi-parti-sanship the two men had displayed.Both had died by then. The bustswere moved in 1935 to near theHouse press gallery.In a somewhat eerie notice given

the Wednesday, Jan. 6 violence al-most 100 years later, the EveningStar said in 1925 that plans to erectthe Clark and Mann statues werebeing rushed so that “they will be inplace before the inaugural throngstorms the Capitol” for the swearingin of Calvin Coolidge. There was noviolence during the Republican’s in-augural.A damage assessment of Capitol

artwork was continuing.

Two Arrested For Ashley TheftFive Hour Stand-Off In Annada

BY BRICE CHANDLERSTAFFWRITER

Pike County Sheriff, StephenKorte confirmed two individualswere arrested after trespassing andstealing from a property in Ashley. A local resident observed a large

truck with a tow boom and trailerentering a friend’s property duringthe day. The two individuals oper-ating the truck loaded an older ve-hicle along with scrap metal ontothe trailer. Before they could leave, the

Ashley resident notified the sher-iff’s department and deputies wereable to stop the vehicle and ar-rested, Samuel L. Virgin, 25, ofTroy with class D felony for steal-ing, and misdemeanors of drivingwhile revoked and failure to regis-ter motor vehicle. Virgin’s bond was set at

$25,000. His female accomplice evaded

the deputies and was later locatedaround 4:30 p.m., in BowlingGreen. Alexandrea Kester, 26, of War-

renton was arrested with a class Dfelony of stealing, class E felony ofresisting arrest or detention andmisdemeanor making a false report. Her bond was also set at

$25,000. The attempted theft is one of a

recent rash in crimes committedwithin the area. In a separate inci-dent in Bowling Green, a burglaryresulted in stolen guns, ammo, andmoney. On Tuesday, Jan. 5, Pike County

deputies responded to ArlingtonAve in Annada for reports of shotsfired in the street. After a near five-hour stand-off,

Michael Alan Travers, 55, of An-nada was taken into custody andcharged with the felonies of unlaw-ful use of a weapon, possession ofa firearm by a convicted felon, ha-rassment and armed criminal ac-tion. He currently is being held with-

out bond.All individuals named are pre-

sumed innocent until proven guiltyin a court of law.

BYBRICE CHANDLERSTAFFWRITER

The courage displayed by employeesof Crossroads General Store may havevery well foiled an abduction last week. According to Bowling Green Police

Chief Don Nacke, the victim out of St.Louis had vehicle problems when shewas picked up by the accused abductors. “She ran over something in the Silex

area and flattened two tires,” he said. Her accused abductors stopped to

offer help. Or she thought. After accepting their offer for a ride,

the two – a man with warrants in Lin-coln County and a woman with a war-rant out of the City of Elsberry – tookher along the country roads and lost theirway. The offer of help turned into a two-

hour long ordeal where the victimclaimed the man and woman refused torelease her. They eventually found their way to

Bowling Green where she convincedher accused abductors she needed to usethe restroom. They allowed her to go into the pop-

ular convenience store alone while wait-ing while the driver paced outside thefront. At first, the store’s staff didn’t notice

anything out of place as the womanheaded into the bathroom. Momentslater, she stood inside the bathroom en-trance out of view from the windowsand signaled to one of the cashiers thatshe needed help. At that point, they knew something

was wrong. After explaining her situation, the

team worked together to sneak theyoung woman behind the counter whereshe hid only moments before one of theaccused abductors entered the store andheaded to the restrooms. When their search came up empty

handed, they went back outside andwaited, but the quick-thinking staff hadalready contacted the Bowling GreenPolice Department. Within minutes, the accused were ap-

prehended for outstanding warrants anda large amount of a controlled substanceinside their vehicle. The man was arrested and released to

Lincoln County while the woman washeld until Elsberry Police picked her upfor the warrants there. As for the abduction case, Chief

Nacke said after some discussion withother law enforcement personnel andgoing over the details, not everything inthe victim’s story added up but couldn’telaborate on details without further in-vestigation. Ultimately, shewas returnedhome safely to her family. Whether the woman was abducted as

a potential victim or some other circum-stance doesn’t nullify the quick reactionsof the Crossroads staff. According to Crossroads manage-

ment, the brave team members were re-warded for their actions. They also said they’re blessed to have

such amazing team members. “They helped get someone home to

their family and life,” Crossroads’ ownersaid. “I am super proud of them.” The names of the victim along with

Crossroads staff have been excluded onrequest for their safety.

Clopton Hosts 25th Annual InvitationalBYBRICE CHANDLER

STAFFWRITERLast week, Clopton School Dis-

trict hosted some exciting basketballaction during their 2021 Invitationaltournament. The school celebratedthe tournament’s 25th anniversarythis year and hoped for matchingchampionship wins. The third seeded Clopton Hawks

went in with an 8-1 record for theseason and looked like a strong con-tender to make that happen. The second seeded Lady Hawks

pulled off solid wins against WrightCity and Winfield also building mo-mentum towards the possibility. Both the Clopton teams took on

Winfield in the semifinals. Unfortu-nately for the Hawks, their hopes fora championship match ended with aloss. Where the boys lost against the

Winfield, the Lady Hawks defeatedLady Warriors to move on and facetheir tournament rival and last year'schampion, The Monroe City LadyPanthers, in the finals. This made the sixth year in a row

the two teams faced each other in thechampionship match of the CloptonTournament with the Lady Hawkswinning in 2016, 2017, and 2019. This round, senior Taylor Akers

and sophomore Shana Yates nailedthe team’s only three-pointers of thenight in the first half, but the LadyHawks couldn’t find an open lanearound Monroe City’s frustratingdefense. Nor could they find a way to shut

down the Lady Panthers top scorers

Hallie Dyer, Haley Hogan, andRiley Quinn. Together the trio alongwith their teammates outpaced theHawks on the scoreboard and heldon to their lead throughout the game. Caragan Lockard was the Lady

Hawks high scorer with 10 pointsfollowed closely by Stacia Talbertwho scored seven points. Unfortunately, the home team fell

71-33 to take second place. The Winfield Lady Warriors man-

aged to hold on for third against Els-berry with a score 43-35. And MarkTwain took the consolation prizeover the Silex Lady Owls 42-32. In the boy’s bracket, the exciting

match of the night came down toClopton versus Louisiana. The two teams gave fans a nail-

biter finish for the third place match-up. Gabri Hill was Clopton’s and the

game’s top scorer of the night –racking up 18-points by sinking two3-pointers and five two-pointers.Hill also made two free throws. Junior, Mason Street, put nine

points on the board for the Hawks andsenior, Zakk Eivins, scored eight. But the Bulldogs stayed neck-

and-neck with the Clopton team.The score remained tight throughoutthe matchup with both teams takingturns holding the lead. With a two-point lead near the

end of the final quarter, Eivinsscored on a layup to tie up the game39-39 despite taking a foul. Where Clopton had Hill putting

in twopointers from under the net,the Bulldogs had Ryan Capps mak-

ing himself open in the block foreasy layups. Capps stopped a dangerous push

from Hill by taking a charge andgiving Louisiana possession. Themove allowed Mason Washington torun for a two pointer which hit therim, but he grabbed up his own re-bound and made it count giving theBulldogs the two-point leadwith lessthan two minutes left in the game. Donovan Richards added another

point to it with a free throw shotafter taking a foul on a two-on-twobreakaway with Tramain Chatman. Chatman was Louisiana’s top

scorer of the night earning 13-pointsfor the Bulldogs. He sank a threep-ointer in all but the fourth quarter. Just under Chatman’s amount

was Capps who put 11-points on theboard. Jack Logan rounded off theteam’s top three scorers with five-points along with some heavy back-side defensive blocking. Hisdefensive pressure may have savedthe game for Louisiana afterhestopped Hill from scoring in thefinal seconds of the game. Keeping the game close, Eivins

made it a one-point differencewithin the last 40 seconds. In that last minute of play, both

head coaches used timeouts to workout strategies as possession changedhands after fouls being called onboth sides. But Louisiana held on tofinish the game and take third place42-41. The Elsberry Indians took home

the consolation trophy after defeat-ing Wright City 65-42. The first seeded Monroe City

Panthers claimed their fourth con-secutive championship at the Clop-ton Tournament by beating Winfieldfor the second year in a row. Thistime with a score of 59-47.

TheHope Center andthe Refuge Churchare always in needof clothing, shoes,can goods, paper supplies,and personal hygiene items,to mention a few. There areonly a few organizations inthe area that will help withutility bills, car repairs, andrent needs.

If you are in a positionto help others, I encourageyou to do so.The latest ice and snow-

storm brought down manybranches and even trees inBowling Green. Alliance hastheir crews out to mulch thesebut it will take at least twoweeks to service everyone’sneeds. Big trees may takeuntil the spring to remove. Al-liance is also replacing me-ters, servicing lines, anddoing excavation at the 4-way. (Court St., 161, andBusiness 61). It is day number 152 at the

Bowling Green airport andfinishing touches and final in-spections are being com-pleted. The anticipated date offinalization is targeted as Jan.11. Yet to be scheduled is aribbon cutting ceremony in-cluding Jim Saucier as hetaxis his plane off the newtaxi way, takes-off on the newrunway, circles the airport,and then lands on the newrunway. The date will be an-nounced in the papers and onthe city’s website, so pleasewatch for it and join us as we
