Last Friday’s storm roared in with hail, blowing rain and strong winds. At least one funnel cloud was reported to have been spotted at Lake Thunderhead. It appears from the forecast, that more tumultuous weather is on the way this week.
Missouri’s StormAware [https://stormaware.mo.gov/preparing-for-a-tornado/] recommends planning ahead and establishing where you and your family will go in the event of a tornado and to be alert to changing weather. A safe room should be a basement, a storm cellar, or interior room on the lowest floor with no window. They also recommend having a first aid kit and fire extinguishers where they can be easily located and knowing how and when to turn off water, gas and electricity in your home.
The site also recommends collecting an emergency kit in a container that is easily porta-
ble. This should contain water and nonperishable food for three days, prescriptions, battery operated radio, flashlights and extra batteries and the first aid kit. One never likes to think the worst will happen, but it is always better to be prepared.
One event canceled last Friday night was the school play, Beowulf and the Bard, which was very well performed and an entertaining “what if” rendition of the classic tale. Due to the work schedules of the cast, the play was unable to be rescheduled for Sunday and only the Saturday performance was given. Congratulations, cast, directors and support personnel on a great job!
One trivial tidbit learned this week was that MUFON, the UFO investigative group, was originally formed in Quincy, IL, and the “M” in MUFON stood for Midwest.
Have a great week and a good Easter.

the impact of new transmission lines on private property by co-locating on existing infrastructure.
Without the Missouri First Transmission Act, out-of-state companies with no existing agreements to use rights-ofway will likely have to use eminent domain to take private land to build new transmission lines. Therefore, I believe it is crucial for the General Assembly to pass this legislation and ensure that Missouri companies are the one building and
designing these projects. This bill is not just about transmission lines and power poles, it’s about defending our values and safeguarding the property rights of all Missourians.

Philos, It’s a God Thing
In 1985 I performed the wedding for a lovely young couple. Through the years, we have stayed connected. Thirty years later, I was privileged to have lunch with them in their home along with one of their grown children and two mutual friends. It was a delightful experience. I was blessed.
always pleasant; and you realize that quietly, invisibly your friendship has grown. As I sat at their table, we recounted old stories that we all knew and new tales to bring us up to date. I was proud to have had a small part in bringing this couple’s lives together and thankful to have been a tiny blessing in their lives.

All too often pastor-parishioner relationships are brief. Sometimes it is intentionally so; there is no reason or desire to continue. At other times, the event demands brevity like encounters in a reception line. Circumstances may demand that people move on to other places and other things. And, of course, death often shortens the relationship; for instance, the wife mentioned earlier passed away several years ago.
Given the brevity of these experiences, it is common for pastors to wonder if they have accomplished anything. An architect can point to a building and say, “That’s my work.” A surgeon can see a healed patient and be proud of what he/she accomplished. Ministers must often just hope and pray they have done some good.
Occasionally, like the lunch mentioned earlier, you get a chance to spend meaningful time with past parishioners. That is
Mart De Haan tells the story of two girls who became international friends, Nadia of Bulgaria and Millicent of the United States. Though separated by many miles, they kept in touch. Then, political upheaval prevented all their communication. After 48 years and political changes, they were finally able to meet at Miami International Airport where Millicent exclaimed, “Nadia! I would know you anywhere.”
One thing that intrigues me about experiences like this and my luncheon experience is how the heart grows fonder without our knowing it. The Greek language, the language of the New Testament, has a word that describes this invisible growth of friendship. The word is philos, meaning love of or for a friend, brotherly love.
It’s a good thing. It’s a God thing. “A friend loves like a brother.”
(Proverbs 18:24)

The University of MO Shares New
Extension Soybean Specialist
Dr. Andre Reis is stated as the new specialist to serve soybean farmers in Missouri
(Jefferson City, Mo.)
— The University of Missouri – Columbia announced Dr. Andre Reis as the state’s new soybean specialist to conduct research and extend Extension efforts to soybean producers across the state.
“My goal is to develop and share sustainable practices for soybean production,” said Reis. “These recommendations include nutrient and fertilizer strategies, planting dates, population plans, and management of abiotic stresses such as drought and heat, only to name a few.”
Reis comes to Missouri from Louisiana State University (LSU) where he served growers as a soybean and sugarcane specialist. Reis’ experience in agronomy and physiology positions him well to lead Missouri’s soybean industry - the state’s top agricultural commodity.
“The security of a soybean specialist in the state is a much-needed asset to our growers,” said Aaron Porter, Missouri Soybean Merchandising (MSMC)
Halley is “Make a Blanket Day” Winner
chairman. “We greatly appreciate the promise Reis has provided to return research results back to soybean stakeholders in a timely manner.”
Reis’ experience runs deep in innovation and aiding growers. Following the completion of his PhD Reis accepted a position as the Latin American lead for Agronomic Innovation at John Deere. He also spent several years as a crop consultant in Brazil assisting growers in their decisions at the farm gate.
Reis’ research background has focused on biological nitrogen fixation in soybean, grain composition quality (protein and oil concentrations), nutrient management, crop modeling and precision agriculture.
“I look forward to connecting with farmers and immersing myself into the soybean production system in Missouri,” said Reis. “After meeting the producers, I can prioritize issues and develop a research framework that will positively impact the industry.”
Reis is located on the main campus at the University of Missouri – Columbia. He began in his new role on April 1.

With great expectations, Dylan Heidenwith and Bryce Bunnell are excited to announce their partnership in HB Plumbing & Excavating LLC.
They have purchased that part of Schoonover Plumbing, Electric & HVAC’s current business.
Heidenwith brings seven years experience to the business having last worked for Scott Schoonover, Schoonover Plumbing Electric & HVAC. Bunnell has two years experience in the construction trade and they believe their backgrounds will lend well to the new enterprise.
Bunnell, a 2022 graduate of Putnam County R-I School, stated that they want to take pride in their work and that is their goal. Heidenwith, a 2016 graduate of Putnam County R-I, added that a part of that goal is to maintain the great service tradition that Scott has provided for all these years.
The duo both voiced their desire to own and operate their own business and this is a dream come true for them both.
Scott has given them his assurance that he
will refer all plumbing calls to them and plans to mentor them as they work their way into the business as well as the more difficult situations they will come across in the future.
Scott wants people to know that he will continue with the rest of his business and his customers can rest assured they can still call for work.
Services to be offered by HB Plumbing include sewer, water and electric installation and repairs. They will also install and repair grinder pumps, water heaters, hydrant and cattle tanks. Trenching and excavating, new construction and remodel plumbing round out the services they plan to offer.
It’s great to see two Putnam County grads taking roots in the community. “This is home,” stated Heidenwith. “I worked in Kirksville for three years and I was ready to come back home.”
You can reach Dylan at 660-341-1305 and Bryce at 660-988-0622. Please join the Unionville Republican in welcoming these two young men to the Putnam County business community.

MoDOT Hosts Bridge Package Information Meeting in Unionville
North Blackbird Creek (1997) and Route N over Turkey Creek. Two of those, Route M over Medicine Creek (1953) and Route U over East Locust Creek (1964) have been designated as priority bridges and must be worked on as part of the project.
The goal of the project is to determine the proposal that gives the best value in replacing or rehabilitating up to 34 bridges, which must include the 12 priority bridges. MoDOT plans to make every effort to maximize the number of bridges rehabilitated or replaced within the project’s budget. The estimated cost of the project is $30 million and the funding will derive from state and federal funding sources.
Construction is anticipated to start in the spring of 2024 and all construction completed by December 31, 2026. The stated goals of the project are as follows:
*Safely deliver the project within the program budget of $30 million on or before December 31, 2026
*Use innovation and practical design to maximize the number of locations to be addressed
*Provide quality, low maintenance structures and roadway approaches
Stopping the Next Grain Belt Express
The Grain Belt Express project has caused a great deal of unease, fear and anger within our community. For the past 10 years, we have been fighting against this project, which involves an out-of-state company taking Missourians’ land for private gain. Unfortunately, this isn’t the last transmission project to come through our part of the state, as the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) recently announced plans to build more than 2,000 miles of new transmission lines, including hundreds of miles throughout northern Missouri.
Many of us feel like we are experienc-
ing déjà vu, as we face the prospect of another out-of-state entity coming into our backyard to seize land for private gain. This is why I am sponsoring Senate Bill 568, the “Missouri First Transmission Act,” which aims to protect the personal property rights of Missourians and prevent another Grain Belt Express situation from occurring.
Currently, there are no laws in place to safeguard Missouri’s farm and ranch families from private, out-of-state companies that could argue the use of eminent domain to construct new transmission lines. Additionally, there is nothing in state law requiring
these companies to establish agreements to use existing rights-of-way to build these projects. These out-of-state companies are not part of our communities and are primarily focused on profits and private gain, rather than our rural way of life and values.
Under the Missouri First Transmission Act, incumbent electric companies in Missouri would have the right of first refusal on all transmission projects that connect to their systems and are approved by MISO or other regional transmission organizations. These companies have long-standing relationships with local businesses, farmers, landowners and elected officials in our communities. They are present in our daily lives and are invested in Missourians’ well-being. Furthermore, these companies can minimize

Four bridges in Putnam County are under consideration for rehabilitation. Two of those, [28] Route M over Medicine Creek (1953) and [29] Route U over East Locust Creek (1964) have been designated as priority bridges and must be worked on as part of the project. The other two are [26] Route 129 over North Blackbird Creek (1997) and [27] Route N over Turkey Creek (1951).
A public information open house meeting, the last in a series of four in northwest Missouri, was held in Unionville on Tuesday, March 28, by Northwest MoDOT regarding the Northwest Bridge Bundle project which will replace or rehabilitate up to 34
poor-condition bridges in north central Missouri and bring them up to current standards.
Four bridges in Putnam County are earmarked for the project. They are Route M over Medicine Creek (1953), Route U over East Locust Creek (1964), Route 129 over

Danny Busick, State Representative
Veterinary Students -HB403
A few years ago the state of Missouri saw the need for more and younger large animal veterinarians in rural Missouri. The average age of large animal veterinarians in rural Missouri had gradually increased. And with the retirement or death of many those older veterinarians it was becoming obvious rural Missouri did not and would not have enough large animal veterinarians to fill the need. The legislature, in hopes of encouraging more young individuals to seek vet training, instituted a loan program to give student loan forgiveness scholarships. These students would commit to locate and practice in rural areas to qualify for the loan for-
giveness. It is called the Dr. Merrill Townley student loan program. The program was limited to 6 total scholarships per year and $20,000.00 per student. The House of Representatives is proposing to simply add 6 more scholarships per year and change the dollar amount to $30,000.00 per student. Having an adequate amount of large animal veterinarians in rural Missouri is critical to our Ag producers. $240,000.00 a year increase in this program is still a lot of money, but I believe it is a necessity to insure Missouri Ag producers have needed professionals to treat their large animals.
