Shelter from the storm
Construction is underway on a new
storm shelter, library and media center
for Boswell Elementary School.
Students at Boswell will get to use the
storm shelter as a library and media cen-

Boswell Principal Randy Gum said the
shelter would be able to house more than
1,000 individuals when there is a need.
The addition will also provide a new
science, technology, engineering and
mathematics lab.

Board approved a $5.5 million bid to build

ost people know enough to vi-
sualize neon and chrome at the
mention of Route 66, but if you
really want the lowdown on the Mother
Road, then Lebanon’s Route 66 Muse-
um is a must-see.
Located in the Lebanon-L aclede
County Library, 915 S. Jefferson Ave.,
the museum was one of the first mu-
seums in Missouri that is dedicated
entirely to Route 66.
“You won’t find just a ton of these
out there,” said former museum curator
Mark Spangler said of the museum.
“Some communities celebrate their
Route 66 connection, and others do
not. Some are catching on and actively
developing that; we started that pro-
cess a dozen years ago when we had the
idea to do the museum, so we’re kind
of ahead of the curve.”

perhaps because of some quirky little things that happened,”
Spangler explained.
To begin with, promotors were exceptionally active in MAPD
trying to draw attention to the road for economic purposes.
A more specific event that helped launch Route 66 to its
current fame was the publication of John Steinbeck’s “The HMO
Grapes of Wrath.” The novel follows the members of the
fictitious Joad family as they head toward California in an
attempt to flee the Dust Bowl via — you guessed it — Route

book also coined the term “The Mother Road” in reference
to Route 66.

Another popular culture reference to the highway came
in the 1960s in the form of a television show simply titled

“I would say this was his idea. If you
could credit any one individual, Bill was
the one that approached the library about
doing this,” Spangler stated.
The library board approved of Wheel-

born.
Today, visitors to the museum can
see a variety of displays, including three
vignettes: one of a gas station, one of
a diner and one of a tourist cabin. The
museum also boasts a diorama of the
intersection of Route 66 and Highway 5
as it looked in the 1940s.
Spangler stated, “Now there’s nothing

Although the museum continues to be a work in progress, it
receives a large number of visitors. According to Spangler, the
Route 66 Museum draws people from around the world.
“You would be gratified to see the amount of people that come
to the museum with no more advertising than we are able to
do. We have a worldwide audience for that and it seems like it is
growing every year. It’s very gratifying to see people interested
in the things that you spend so much time on,” Spangler said.
A good museum always has a good gift shop, and Spangler said
that he believes the gift shop is a wonderful contribution for the
tourism aspect of the museum.
“I’m going to say that you are not going to see a nicer gift shop
than ours. You just will not. We have all been working very hard
on it, and it seems to have paid off. We set out to make this spe-

Meet Sam Schneider
Lebanon Fire Chief
L ebanon Fire Department Chief Sam Schneider has spent
most of his professional life in the fire service. It is a
career choice that has given him a lot of satisfaction.
“I very much enjoy the job. I am appreciative of the chal-
lenges that it provides and the brotherhood of the emergency
services and the fire service. Here in my own community, I
hope to improve and build a department that responds to the
needs of the community, citizens and visitors coming through
here. It takes a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of dedication,
and I truly enjoy all that,” Schneider said.
He spent years rising through the ranks of the fire service
on his way to become the chief.
Following his 1988 graduation from Lebanon High School,
he began his career in the fire service in October 1989 when
he joined the Lebanon Rural Fire Department as a volunteer.
His reasons were twofold.
“I was, in all honesty, in a word, bored,” Schneider said.
Schneider was working as a computer aided drafter after
graduation and wanted something interesting to do on nights
and weekends. Plus, he was looking for a way to give back to
the community where he was raised. He left Lebanon in December of 1995 for a job in the

BALANCING CEO AND MAYOR
Carr runs family business while serving community
Lebanon’s mayor is balancing the de-
mands of a full-time job with the duties
required of the city’s top elected official.
Jared Carr said he has gotten better

“Sometimes you get pulled in a lot

of the best things I’ve learned is when
to say “no or I can’t do that right now.’
That’s helped balance out time between
work, being mayor, and of course, fam-
ily,” he said.
Carr was first appointed by the City
Council to fill the vacancy created when
former mayor Josh Ray resigned in
2017. Carr was elected to the position
for the first time in 2020.
While serving as mayor, Carr contin-

Atchley Park
Located on North Missouri 5. The park
has four ball fields, restrooms, three park
shelters, a fenced playground area and a
disc golf course. A lighted walking trail sur-
rounds the park.
There are entrances at the back and front
of the park. Ample parking is provided.
Several weddings are scheduled each year
at the gazebo.
With the recent relocation of the play-
ground at Atchley Park, the Lebanon Park
Board was tasked with finding a practical
solution for the empty space. After much
consideration, the board agreed for the old
playground space to be renovated into a
dog park.
“We’ve been thinking about a dog park
for a number of years. It was just always a
matter of where to put it. We had discussed
doing something at Gasconade (Park) a long
time ago. Between finding the right loca-
tion, fencing, water, restrooms and other
hindrances, we never knew where to put it,”
said Parks Director John Shelton.
According to Shelton, the public has
been wanting a dog park in Lebanon for
some time.
“We’ve had a lot of people asking about
it and calling. It really seemed like more
and more interest was being expressed over
the last couple of years. Then as we became
more dog-friendly in the parks with stations
and other added things, it just seemed like
more and more people were asking for it,”
Shelton said.
Shelton added that the inspiration of
Helen Cowan was one of the main driving
points behind the park. Shelton said. I really think it’s going to be a great fit for a

The park is located by the Lebanon

Another fair tradition, is Senior Day

Raef said he has been involved with
the fair all his life and started showing
livestock there as a kid.
"I've always been a part of the fair,
always have been," Raef said. "I've always
had a passion for it, to help the rural
youth of Laclede County, give them a
place to come and show, and make some
memories."
He says the chance to help youth is one
of the things that's drawn him to the fair.
"I like the fact that we're helping kids
with their projects and we're teaching
them responsibility through FFA, 4-H,
the home ec part of it," he said. "It gives
them a chance to show off what they've
accomplished with their projects."

Spring is the Bennett Spring Church of God, organized in
1917 through the influence of William Sherman and Louie
Boles Bennett, who donated land for the church site. In the
1950s, stone veneer was applied over the wooden structure.

“Aunt Louie’’ Bennett was pastor of the church for many
years. Today, Bennett Spring Church of God is a very active
church and is visited by many fishermen staying at the park

In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the

vember of that year. The crews’ first tasks were to build
barracks for themselves.
They built a new dam, a bridge, a dining lodge, six cabins,
a store and post office building, shelters, houses, roads and
trails. They also renovated the old Atchley Mill.
The men also constructed a second set of gravel-bottomed
hatchery rearing pools and in 1935 built a new section onto
the hatchery building. After the men left in 1938, they dis-
mantled all but one of their barracks.
Through the years most of the development at the park
has taken place outside of the park’s boundaries as private in-
dividuals built cabins, hotels, campgrounds and many other
businesses. In 1969, Arlie Bramwell sold his wood and stone
cabins to the state. Ralph Usery’s cabins were razed. Splan’s
Resort was once a very busy place there. Vogel’s Resort was
acquired by the state in 1980. - 45 YEARS OF SERVICE!

the dining lodge on the site of the original Brice. CAMPGROUNDS ON

An additional 1,650 acres of land to the south of the cur-

as the park area. Each year has brought more improvements.
Now, at 3,216 acres, the state park that arose around Peter
