📰 News we're reading
1. Bridge washing scheduled for Interstate 72 Mark Twain Memorial Bridge (hannibal.net) — Drivers crossing Hannibal's Mark Twain Memorial Bridge should expect single-lane traffic during maintenance starting as early as Thursday, Nov. 12. A 12-foot vehicle-width limit will require wider loads to take other routes. Crews aim to finish the cleaning and preventative work by Nov. 20, though weather could change the schedule. 
2. Recognizing those who served: 'I do what I can when I can' (hannibal.net) — For Hannibal's Steve Gumble, honoring fellow veterans means months of painting and giving the finished work away. The Marine veteran and General Mills employee creates six pieces each year for the plant's Veterans Day tradition, paying for supplies himself. Veterans selected at random take home the paintings representing their service branches.
3. Cats vs Trojans: Long-time Matchups in Missouri on the Hardwood (wgem.com) — Hannibal-LaGrange couldn't overcome a slow first half as visiting Culver-Stockton won 84-68 in the teams' longstanding basketball rivalry. The Wildcats built a 16-point halftime lead that held despite an evenly matched second half, with Kenyan Jackman-Thomas leading their scoring with 24 points.
4. Public Invited to Celebrate Progress on Improve I-70: Warrenton to Wentzville Project Ribbon Cutting Marks Upcoming Completion of New Pavement in Warren and St. Charles Counties (boonecountryconnection.com) — More than four miles of new I-70 pavement near Wright City and Wentzville are nearing completion, a milestone in the $600 million Warrenton-to-Wentzville project. MoDOT will hold a public ribbon cutting Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. on new westbound lanes near the Warren–St. Charles county line. The full project is expected to finish by late 2028.
