OFF THE BEATEN PATH
SAINT COOK
Taking the Highway 15 exit ramp off the Avenue of the Greats, I can get to anywhere in tiny Shelbina in five minutes, as long as a freight train isn’t crawling through the middle of town. It wasn’t, and that was a good thing because the chime on my radio signaled it was straight-up noon, and as the newscaster began his first story, I knew lunch was already on the table.

FROM THE ARCHIVES
by John Robinson
The Alert was only a few miles above Hermann when it happened. A lookout at the bow of the boat spotted a Sawyer at the edge of the channel near Fisher's Landing. He pointed to it so the captain would see.
Attached to submerged trees, sawyers are limbs that stick out of the water, pinned against the swift current. The captain already had seen it, since sawyers are red flags, triggers waiting to spring a submerged trunk like a mousetrap. Any captain would have seen it, because that’s how they become captains. They see all the obstacles atop the water. But the good ones, the captains who endure, they know what’s under the water.
