Shoes for Local and Orphan Souls

Submitted by Mary

Each year, Unionville Rotary joins Rotary Clubs from north and central Missouri to collect new shoes and socks for Buckner’s Shoes for Orphan Souls project. This year, Unionville Rotary is adding Putnam County R-I students as beneficiaries of the shoe and sock collection. Middle school and high school students are required to have a separate pair of shoes to wear on the gym floor during physical education class, and sometimes elementary students are in need of a good pair of shoes as well. A good portion of the shoes collected will be retained and donated to PC R-I to be distributed by school counselors. Athletic shoes are the most desired donation, but other types are accepted, except for flip flops.

New shoes and socks can be left at Duvall Roeder & Gardner Insurance at 1712 West Main Street or by contacting Rotarians Peggy Hart or

Mary Comstock. Donations will be accepted through April 25.

Buckner International has distributed more than 3 million pairs of new shoes to children in 82 countries over the past 24 years. A simple pair of shoes may not look powerful, but they can make a big difference in the lives of vulnerable children and orphans. Most Americans take shoes for granted, but for many children around the world, they are a luxury. Shoes protect feet from diseases such as hookworm which can lead to physical and cognitive development issues. New shoes lower barriers to school attendance and allow children to attain an education.

The Shoes for Orphan Souls project is one of several service activities of Unionville Rotary, which strives to live up to the motto, “Service Above Self”. Any questions about the shoe drive can be directed to Mary Comstock, 660-6266443, or maryfran635@ gmail.com.

Green City, MO, March 22nd, 2023— NEMR hosted an interview dinner to choose two candidates to represent the company at the annual Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) Youth Tour to Washington D.C.

High school freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors within the company’s telephone/ internet service area are given the opportunity to apply for this trip by submitting a one-page essay and an application.

The candidates included the following: Kendal Anderson (Scotland County R-I), Florence Lusher (Putnam County R-I), Dylan Dawson (Schuyler County R-I), Sadie Jackson (Scotland County R-I), Letha Ward (Scotland County R-I),

Gabriella Frost (Adair County R-I)

On Wednesday, March 22nd, the students and their family members joined the Education Committee from NEMR’s Board of Directors, Michele Gillespie, CEO, and Justin Simmons, IT/Office Manager, FRS Youth Tour Coordinator to meet for a dinner and interview process.

The students were each called upon to introduce themselves and give a brief family history and other relevant information. Students shared about their hobbies, interests, future plans and other reasons they believed they were good candidates for the FRS Youth Tour.

Following the dinner, the Education Committee formally selected both students to attend the 2023 FRS Youth Tour scheduled May 31st

– June 4th, 2023. This year’s two selected candidates that will be going are Kendal Anderson and Gabriella Frost.

“We enjoyed having the opportunity to learn more about these great students from our local schools,” said Gillespie. “Each one was an excellent candidate, and we look forward to having these students represent NEMR on this year’s FRS Youth Tour.”

The Foundation for Rural Service’s (FRS) annual Youth Tour is one of the most visible examples of the foundation’s involvement with, and commitment to, rural youth. Each year, in collaboration with NTCA member companies, FRS brings rural students from across the United States to Washington, D.C. for a four-day tour of some of the most historical sites in the nation.

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.

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

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.

Interact Cases of Comfort Successful

DAR Meeting Minutes

Giving Rural Missourians a Voice in Initiative Petition Reform

The Putnam County R-I Interact chapter raised over $800 for foster children through the Cases of Comfort project. Interact is a service club, the high school arm of Rotary. Members focus on bettering the lives of others and this year chose to raise money to benefit children in foster care.

Melissa Powell of Children’s Division presented an inspiring assembly to all high school students over the unfortunate circumstances innocent children find themselves when placed in foster care. One thing she discussed is that when children are taken from a home, often their possessions are placed in trash bags as that is the only thing available. The subliminal message is that the children are not much better than trash. New and gently used suitcases and duffel bags are a welcome resource at Children’s Division.

To raise money to purchase suitcases and other items for children in foster care, the Interact chapter enlisted the help of high school teachers Jordan Hollon, Cal-

vin Heidenwith, Adam Huse, Britten Hicks, Dakota Waugh, Benjamin Buller, and Jacquie Tosspon. The teachers graciously volunteered to do something silly if their fundraising cans contained at least $100 by the end of the weeklong project.

Middle school and high school students and staff were offered treats at lunch time in exchange for their monetary donations and all teachers’ cans contained over $100 by the end of the week.

At the end of the fundraising week, an assembly was held at which middle school and high school students cheered on their teachers. Jordan Hollon and Calvin Heidenwith exchanged pies in the face, Coach Huse endured having his fingernails painted, Britten Hicks sported a pink wig and pink eyebrows and beard, Dakota Waugh donned a fairy dress for the day, and Benjamin Buller and Jacquie Tosspon performed a rap battle.

Interact members will be making purchases for foster children and donating them to Children’s Division.

Margaret Szucs, Regent 03/29/23

Missouri has embraced the process of Missourians having the power to amend our state’s Constitution for over 100 years. This process gives Missourians across the state a voice in the laws governing them. The Initiative Petition process was implemented to allow citizens a voice in legislative issues when they feel their representatives are not addressing their concerns. The IP process though has been weaponized against rural Missourians and the legislature is now addressing this.

Constitutional changes that the majority of rural Missourians do not support have been pushed through by liberal, progressive interests. These changes include Medicaid expansion which added to welfare dependency and skyrocketing expenses, medical marijuana usage, and finally, recreational use of marijuana. The end goal of each of these issues was to increase Missourian’s dependency and the degradation of the family. All of these changes were championed by the largest population centers of the state St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. These changes have left the values of rural Missourians behind and continue to contribute to the dysfunction of our soci-

ety.

In its current state, the initiative petition process strictly benefits urban Missouri due to the density of its populations which are predominantly controlled by progressives. These areas do not represent the whole of Missouri. The changes that the legislature is proposing would extend a greater voice to all Missourians, allowing them to have more control over what changes are made and enacted to their Constitution, a document made solely to represent all people. The changes the legislature is proposing would allow for the true representation of every Missourian rather than a small percentage. The reform would require for any IP to pass there must be 5 out of the 8 congressional districts voting to support the change. In doing this it equalizes the representation of rural communities with much larger urban communities.

We no longer would have the progressives of the state outnumbering the conservative views of the majority of our citizens.

Missouri’s Third District

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.

Due to the recent passage of Amendment 1 on November 6, 2018,

please be advised that any communications or documents received by this office that were previously treated as confidential may now be subject to public disclosure pursuant to any request made under the Missouri Sunshine Law.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

In retirement I am learning that community involvement is just as important (if not more so) than when I worked. All of our smaller counties need help from our newer citizens in addition to those that have been here a long time.

Last week we held our annual “Market on the Square” meeting and had a great turnout. It takes more than 1 person to keep the market going and open and we need even more volunteers in 2023. It takes a lot of folks to set up, organize and make our markets what they are. If you would be interested in helping, contact me at 660-626-6923 or Tom Keedy. The market in Unionville begins on Saturday morning, May 6.

Another item I noticed by watching television is the ads. If you have not seen it, Marceline has a very up-todate promotional ad for their town. My question is why can’t other of our small communities do this? All of our communities are struggling for businesses and revenue and yet what do we do to help a new business or one wanting to come in? Remember University of Missouri Extension has lots of assistance for small business start-ups or continuing businesses. I believe if we our-

selves do not step up, why should we complain when our leadership does not. Volunteering also means serving on boards and there are several in each county that need good people.

REMINDERS

Don’t forget about the Missouri Century Farm program if your farm qualifies. You have until May 1 to apply since you need to fill out an application and show proof of the line of ownership. You can apply at your county extension office or online at Missouri Century Farms - Programs | MU Extension. Questions may be directed to your local extension office.

Spring is getting closer by the day which means 2 critical things:

(1) Warmer ground temperatures allow especially early vegetables to be planted and grown whether raised beds or in the ground. I know Good Friday is the day to plant potatoes but that’s an old wife’s tale (yes, my grandma told it to me too). (2) Warmer weather also allows insects and weeds to grow faster so keep track of them as well.

THOUGHT: “You know a girl is mad when she starts off her sentence saying “I just find it funny how” because there’s a 99.9% chance she did not find it funny!”

Hanson to Perform at Bixler 108

Folk Festival (US), and Winnipeg Folk Festival (Canada). Her ninth album, “Ice Cream In November”, was released in April 2022.

Who is Lynne Hanson you ask? She is a Canadian songwriter known for her high energy roots guitar driven live performances and she is coming to The Bixler 108 Listening Room in Unionville, MO, on Saturday, April 8, 2023.

Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Hanson’s music can turn on a dime from a sunshine and blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm. Her music has earned her the nickname “Canada’s Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy style is distinctive, it’s the poet-

ry of her lyrics that really sets her apart. And it is all combined with an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming.

Hanson has released nine studio albums along with two books of poetry over her 16 year solo career. She’s toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK, and appeared at leading international festivals including Take Root (Netherlands), Glasgow Americana (Scotland), Maverick Festival (UK), Kerrville

And what do others have to say about Hanson? “On stage Hanson has a wonderful charm and disarming sense of humour … a spontaneity and honesty that enchants.” - Americana UK . “That performance … was worth waiting for. It was different, yet mightily satisfying for those hooked in the magnetic appeal of songwriters sharing their valued craft. It underlined the versatility of this Canadian who you feel could grace any arena in a folk, country and rock scene.”

- Three Chords And The Truth

You can find Hanson and her music on-line, but to fully experience it, come out to the Bixler 108 Listening Room on Saturday, April 8, and find out for yourself what a great performer and songwriter Lynne Hanson is. She will be appearing with guitarist, Blair Michael Hogan. Show time is 7:00 pm.

The Bixler is also presenting “Local Legends” on Thursday, April 6, at 7:00 pm. The Local Legends are a group of

local musicians including Carolyn Vincent, Randy Kimple, Steve Head, Patricia Sharman, Stan Knipfer and Theresa Hammett. They get together at the Bixler and play some good old country and bluegrass music the first Thursday of each month.

Upcoming shows at

The Bixler include Chad Elliott and Kathryn Fox (The Weary Ramblers) on April 14, Jill Westra and Them K C Boys, (a female fronted country and western band from Kansas City) on April 21 and Helene Cronin, a Texas based singer songwriter on April 28.

For additional infor-

mation go to The Bixler 108 Facebook page or contact Tom Keedy at 660-626-7803 or at thebixler108@gmail.com.

There is no admission charge, but donations are appreciated so that we can continue to bring great artists like Lynne Hanson to Unionville.
