LETTER TO READERS
New ownership,
same commitment
W
elcome to the August issue of Hannibal Magazine.
We hope you enjoy the cover story by Ken and Lisa
Marks on the popular Big River Steampunk Festival,
the musing of Hick Finn, photo galleries from the just completed
60th annual National Tom Sawyer Days, as well as detailed information about upcoming events in Hannibal and surrounding
communities.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as
Ron Wallace, the new general manager of Hannibal Magazine.
Hannibal is a thriving, vibrant community that has much to offer
in terms of entertainment, tourism and quality of life. This publication will continue to promote the events,
people, organizations, businesses and rich
history that make this a special place to live,
work and visit.
Rich Heiser, a Hannibal native, has published this high-quality regional entertainment magazine for the last eight years. He
has served readers like you well with content that is relevant and
important to Hannibal and surrounding communities. We appreciate the relationships he has built with advertisers, contributing writers and photographers who have made the magazine so
successful, and you will notice that those relationships continue
with this issue. The magazine will continue to focus on upcoming
events in Northeast Missouri, providing stories, calendar listings
and photos. It also will continue to feature historical stories,
health information and tips, and slice-of-life stories and columns
from contributing writers and photographers you have become
accustomed to reading.
QNI, the parent company of The Herald-Whig, is proud to take
over ownership of Hannibal Magazine. We are, like the publication Rich started, a family-owned company with deep roots to
this region. Like Rich, we want this to be a magazine that you
will be proud to display on your coffee tables and keep for reference each month. We have seen the magazine evolve since it was
introduced in June 2007, and we are committed to continuing
its mission. We believe that living and working here gives us a
distinct opportunity to expand and enhance the positive reasons
that make Hannibal and communities in Northeast Missouri
entertainment and tourism destinations.
With your continued support, we intend to produce a monthly magazine that you can be proud to call your own.

The success of steampunk has inspired a slew of other types of historical fiction, several of
which have inspired their own niches. For example:
Dieselpunk – This form of alternate history typically covers the period between the two
world wars in a similar manner that steampunk approaches the Victorian/Edwardian eras.
In dieselpunk, the combustible engine and early nuclear energy dominate society and are
reflected in the deco and aviator/mechanic-themed costumes. Jazz, silent film, and poster
art from the period are stylistic influences on the genre.
Clockpunk – Replace steampunk technology with clockwork gears and kinetic power,
and this motif harkens back to pre-industrial science from the late 1700s to mid-1800s.
Clockpunk can also be seen mixed with elements of steampunk in some fantasy and
science fiction works; the Oscar-winning film Hugo serves as an excellent example of this
hybrid.
Gaslamp fantasy, or gaslight romance – Picture steampunk without gadgetry but with a
romantically gothic view of Victorian society.
Stitchpunk – Admittedly a limited subgenre, stitchpunk looks at the time period of
steampunk with an emphasis on tinkerers and weavers, as well as focusing on the do-ityourself aesthetic. A film that visually captures stitchpunk well is the animated feature 9.

COVER STORY
HYPERTENSION
THE SILENT KILLER
Causing few or no symptoms,
hypertension has become known as
the “silent killer.” To diagnose it, you
must have your blood pressure taken.
A normal reading is below 135/85.
When it goes above this reading
it should be followed closely. The
diagnosis should not be made from
just one or two readings. “ A person’s
blood pressure may vary depending on
one’s heart rate, level of excitement,
and just being in a doctor’s office,”
said Richard Valuck, MD, Hannibal
Regional Medical Group Cardiologist.
Quality Family
Medical Care,
when you need it!
your age and the medical conditions
you may have, such as diabetes or
asthma. Water pills, which remove
salt and water from the body, or betablockers, which slow the heart rate,
are often used first. They have proved
their effectiveness over decades and
are very inexpensive.
When the readings are extremely high,
there is an immediate risk of a stroke
or heart attack until it is controlled.
Hospitalization to treat the blood
pressure and protect against these
complications may be necessary.
When the readings are consistently
high, your doctor will consider
several factors which may be
affecting your blood pressure. Use of
tobacco, alcohol, coffee and salt may
contribute to the elevated readings.
These are all life-style factors which
can be changed. According to Dr.
Valuck, “Losing weight and increasing
your physical activity may be all that is
needed to control mild hypertension.”
A person’s blood pressure will
typically increase with age, so yearly
checks are needed. Early treatment
can help prevent the complications of
heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure,
and damage to vision. Dr. Valuck
notes, “High blood pressure is a very
serious condition that causes very
few symptoms but affects about one
in three American adults and twothirds of people over age 65.”
When dietary and life-style changes
do not correct the blood pressure,
medicines are usually started. A wide
variety of medicines are available
and the best choice often depends on
Hypertension may be “silent,” but
it is easy to find. If you are unsure
about your blood pressure levels,
