Hannibal artists illustration chosen for poster
By Michael Gaines

The 2016 Folklife Festival poster features an image of an original


oil painting by 99-year old Hannibal artist Len Moss. The image
captures festival dancers entertaining the crowd in a typical street
scene.
One of the dancers, Jean Vincent, has been involved with the
festival since its first year, as has Moss. The Hannibal Arts Council
thought it a worthy tribute to both individuals dedication to the
festival to use the image that so fondly sums up the fun, tradition
and foundation of the festival in Hannibal. n

Paranormal? Ghost? Tour touts the unexplainable
By Lisa Marks

It started innocently enough. In July 2009 Ken and I were living at


Rockcliffe Mansion, working to preserve the houses legacy as a mu-
seum and giving tours of the history of Rockcliffe and the Cruikshank
family. Occasionally tour guests would ask if the house was haunted,
and we would share with them some of the strange occurrences wed
experienced while living there. Invariably the conversation would
then turn to other ghost stories experiences of guests in their
own life, and stories that Ken and I had heard about other locations
around Hannibal. It was fun to share these stories.
Thus, Haunted Hannibal Ghost Tours were born.
Now at the end of our eighth season of Haunted Hannibal,
when I look back on the experiences weve had, its hard for me to
be skeptical about whether or not ghosts exist. Ive simply had too
many things happen during our tours that were truly unexplainable.
Further, after hearing literally thousands of stories from guests on
the tours, I dont know one could somehow dismiss their personal
experiences as anything other than genuinely paranormal.

company works by Deby Gilley, which are on display
at the Mabee Art Gallery of Culver-Stockton College
through the month.
A native of Salem, Mo., Gilley enjoys creating nostal-
gic images that reflect her Ozarks heritage.
Her medium is relief-printmaking, specifically work-
ing with linoleum and wood to create intricate prints. In
this type of printmaking, it is the area that is not carved
away that makes the prints. The negative areas of the
image are gouged out of the linoleum or wood, and then
ink is rolled over the areas left in relief. Paper is then
pressed to the inked matrix, and a print is pulled.
Gilleys prints have been shown in many Missouri
galleries and museums, as well as in Kansas and Arkan-
sas.
For more information about Gilley or the Culver-
Stockton College Mabee Art Gallery hours, contact

Paintings for music
Hannibal artists works
to grace season covers
The Quincy Symphony Orchestra Association has chosen two
watercolors by Hannibal artist Brenda Beck Fisher for its 2016-17
Passions and Reveries season program materials.
The first piece, Sunset, will appear on the QSOAs season bro-
chure, which is mailed to more than 4,200 Tri-State residents. It was
painted from her memories of a lake in southern Missouri.
As are many homeowners, Fisher is challenged with invasive
morning glory vines. Her paintbrush turns the humble flower into
a brilliant blue blossom in the watercolor Morning Glory. This
simple yet bold piece is used as cover art for the QSOA season
programs. These full-color programs are distributed to thousands
of concert-goers at nine concerts throughout the season. Morning
Glory also serves as the background on the organizations season
tickets.

We are so pleased to feature a local artist again this year on our
print materials, said Jane Polett, QSOA general manager. Brendas
work is lush and evocative of the themes we are presenting this sea-
son romance, daydreams and passion.
Fisher has lived in Missouri most of her life. The recipient of lo-
cal and national awards, she is a signature member of the Missouri
Watercolor Society, Southern Watercolor Society and Watercolor
Society of Alabama and a juried member of Best of Missouri Hands.
She has participated in shows such as the Missouri Nationals and
the Biennial Chicago Exhibit.
Her work has been featured in local and state publications, on
billboards, chili cans and wine labels. Several of Fishers watercolors
are permanently displayed at Barnards Mill Art Museum in Glen
Rose, Texas, at Hannibal Clinic, Hannibal National Bank, Western
Illinois University in Macomb and Quincy City Hall.
Brenda illustrated the childrens books, My Tractor and Me by
Mia Pennewell and The White Horse by Dr. Eli Goodman.
Fishers work will be exhibited at the Quincy Symphony Orches-
tras Symphonie Fantastique concert April 29 at Quincy Junior
High School.

HANNIBAL REGIONAL NOW OFFERING
3D MAMMOGRAPHY
Hannibal Regional is excited to offer Genius
3D Mammography exams, developed by
Hologic, Inc., a worldwide leader in Womens
Health. Utilizing advanced breast tomosynthesis
technology, Genius exams are clinically proven
to significantly increase the detection of breast
cancers, while simultaneously decreasing the
number of women asked to return for additional
testing.

In conventional 2D mammography, overlapping


tissue is a leading reason why small breast cancers
may be missed and normal tissue may appear
abnormal, leading to unnecessary callbacks. A
Genius exam includes a three-dimensional method
of imaging that can greatly reduce the tissue
overlap effect.

The 3D exam at Hannibal Regional includes both


2D images and tomosynthesis scans. During the
tomosynthesis-DIMENSIONAL portion of the exam,
an X-ray arm sweeps in a slight arc over the breast,
taking multiple images. A computer then converts
the images into a stack of thin layers, allowing the radiologist to review the breast tissue one layer at a time. This exam requires
no additional compression and takes just a few seconds longer than a conventional 2D breast cancer screening exam.

The Hologic system is the only clinically superior breast tomosynthesis system as approved by the FDA. The new system is
recommended for women of all ages and breast densities. The system allows our radiologists to more effectively pinpoint the
size, shape and location of abnormalities. This leads to better detection and greater peace of mind for our patients.

5-DAY BREAST CANCER


TREATMENTS
James E. Cary Cancer Center offers Accelerated Partial-Breast Irradiation (APBI) with
MammoSite and Contura devices from Hologic for patients with early stage breast
cancer. As opposed to traditional radiation therapy, which can take 4-6 weeks, patients
who qualify are able to complete their radiation treatment in just 5 days.

was surprised Ruby could even walk. Now, thanks to inpatient rehabilita-

After having back surgery to remove the bone spur, Ruby spent just two
weeks in inpatient rehab, and then was ready to head for home.

since its opening.

Patient Phyllis McHargue: My story
could have been a lot different
It was only last May, when Phyllis McHargues life was thrown
into overdrive by a simple test. Phyllis had her routine mammo-
gram done, just as she had been doing for more than 20 years. This
time, however, Dr. Michael Bukstein noticed a change in a spot
he had been watching over the years. He immediately biopsied it.
When the results came back, it was breast cancer.
Phyllis was diagnosed with cuctal carcinoma in situ, which is a
form of early or non-invasive breast cancer, but without treatment
the abnormal cells eventually could turn into invasive cancer.
I was terrified at the time, but now I realize that they made it
very easy. Phyllis said. My doctors and the folks at the James E.
Cary Cancer Center made me so comfortable, there was no reason
to go anywhere else.
After the biopsy at the Hannibal Clinic, Phyllis met with Dr. Jo-
seph Bean, radiation oncologist at the James E. Cary Cancer Center,
and was offered three treatment options. Her breast cancer was
caught early enough that she chose the five-day APBI treatment
plan because it had a shorter radiation treatment schedule and be-
