Buddy Packs are pre-packaged bags with a variety of food each week, with items like easy-to-make meals, cereal and peanut butter. A donation of $270 provides Buddy Packs to one student for a year.

TheShepherd’sCall

by Wade Paris

Secrets of the Dead

In his gospel, Luke records Jesus’ story about the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man enjoyed all the benefits of wealth---good food, nice clothes, and the confidence of having plenty. All the while a poor man, Lazarus, sat begging, starving at the rich man’s gate. His only comfort came when dogs licked his sores.

Lazarus died and was carried to heaven by angels. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, he was tormented. He looked up to heaven and saw Abraham with Lazarus beside him. The rich man asked Abraham to have Lazarus dip his finger in water and bring a drop to cool his tongue.

Abraham replied. “Remember, child, you received only good things during your life but Lazarus only evil. There is a chasm between you and us. We can’t come to you, and you can’t come to us.”

“Then,” pleaded the rich man, “send Lazarus

to the five brothers at my house lest they too end up in this torment.”

Abraham answered.

“They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.”

“No,” said the rich man, “they will not listen; but if someone came back from the dead, they would hear and believe.”

Abraham responded, “If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced, even if someone should rise from the dead.” (Luke 16:19-31).

Regarding Abraham’s answer to the rich man’s question, Thomas Cahill wrote, “We cannot know if Jesus’ original parable ended with this glancing reference to His own resurrection, but Luke certainly intends the Christian reader to catch it.”

Abraham was right. Soon the world will celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. Yet, it will not impress the masses of people who are determined to do whatever they want--even though Jesus rose from the dead.

Some of you may have traveled over the Easter holiday. Imagine setting out on a road trip with no map or GPS and having to guess which trail was actually a “road” and which would dead end at a homestead or in the middle of a wilderness. That is what faced the first pioneers of automobile travel. Traveling to Iowa City last Wednesday I tuned in to the Stuff You Should Know podcast entitled “The First Road Trip.” Even though Google maps has let me down by refusing to “talk to me” when I need her most or by directing me to at best sketchy one-lane dirt tracks over questionable bridges, at least I have some direction.

Please come to hear Pastor Kevin Collins bring you a reassuring word from God.

When Horatio Nelson Jackson and his mechanic Sewall Crocker set out in 1903 in their two-cylinder, 20 horsepower, Winton motor car to be the first to drive an automobile across America, they had no maps and the directions they received along the way were not always accurate. Once they were even given the wrong directions, which led to a ranch, because the young lady directing them thought her family would like to see a car as they hadn’t before.

It should be pointed out that, according to PBS, there were only 33,000 registered motorcars in the United States in 1903 and no gas stations. Fuel was purchased by

Jackson and Sewall weren’t the first to attempt to drive across America. At the end of the 19th century, the Winton Motorcar Company had sponsored a couple to drive across the country as an advertising ploy. Unfortunately, according to the podcast, that strategy backfired when the couple starting out from New York City only made it as far as Syracuse and were beaten there by a onearmed bicycle rider who gave them a 10-day head start. It is rather ironic that Jackson and Sewall were successful in driving from San Francisco to New York in the very same brand of car.

Admittedly, I am a bit of a history buff and I do enjoy documentaries. The radio is seldom on in the truck unless a Midget game is being broadcast on KMEM or for podcasts to help pass the time on long road trips. This is not the first time that a podcast has led me to track down more information on a subject and I am planning on checking out the PBS production of Horatio’s Drive narrated by Tom Hanks and based on the book Horatio’s Drive: America’s First Road Trip by Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns.

Keep learning and have a great week!

March 13th, 2023

OFFICIAL COUNTY COURT MINUTES

Now on this 13th day of March, 2023, it being the 8th day of the January term of the Putnam County Commission, said Commission met at the office of the County Commission, where and when were present Robert Munden, Presiding Commissioner, Shane Bradshaw, Eastern District Commission, Gerald Owings Western District Commissioner, and Christy Brooks, County Clerk.

Melvin Hines met with Commissioners to ask about the cart rock that was not finished hauling in 2022. Commission told Melvin to haul it.

Christy presented financials. She also presented the 2017 Outlawed Taxes. Shane made a motion to approve the outlawed taxes. Gerald 2nd. All in favor. Motion passed.

Shane mentioned that he met with Elm Township board and landowners to discuss building up a road and putting a bridge in on Ginger Trail south of Worthington. Bridge will be 50’. The county will split the cost with building the road up.

Toni Hamilton, mem-

ber of the Extension Council, Lisa Doster, MU Extension, and Mike Krauch, MU Extension, met with Commissioners to discuss the position in the extension office. Commission informed Mr. Crauch that the county and council did not want an Ag Tech because they feel it would not be beneficial to our county.

Mr. Krauch stated that the extension would fund the position 100% only if an Ag Tech was hired. If they did what the council and county suggested and put an Ag Instructor here, they would ask that the county/council cover half of the salary. Robert commented that the county would be paying at least $75,000 to the Extension office. Shane stated the county will more than likely not do that and that the extension office would not be able to afford a secretary if they are responsible for half of the other salary. Toni asked for clarification that the University would pay 100% only if an Ag Tech was hired and Mr. Krauch confirmed. Mr. Krauch stated that this fits within the MU Extension revised staffing plan but would consider taking a proposal on partnering.

Toni asked if it would e possible to get an Ag

Instructor in place of the tech and Mr. Krauch stated that the budget is full and the extension would not replace the tech for an instructor, therefore would not cover the cost. He did mention a program that hires people with a Bachelor’s degree, which is required for the Ag instructor position, and if they choose to obtain their Master’s degree, the extension helps with college tuition. Commissioners and Toni all thought that would be something to look into, especially for our area. Robert asked if an Ag instructor was brought in, where would the money earmarked in the Extension’s budget for the Ag tech go? Mr. Krauch did not give a clear answer. Toni discussed the hours the current YPA is spending in our county and showed concern. Commissioner’s asked what type of office hours the extension office will have. Mr. Krauch stated that if the county paid part of the new position’s salary, the hours spent within the county would depend on the percentage the county paid. Shane asked if the council would be able to have a say in the hiring and Mr. Krauch stated they would. Mr. Krauch finished by saying he would consider a proposal on partnering.

Manny Harrison, Road and Bridge Supervisor, asked if the current insurance policy covers rental equipment. Christy will check into. Also discussed the new hires

obtaining their CDL’s. Manny asked if Christy could order 4 of the OSHA DOT Fleet Safety kits and a fire extinguisher for the shop. Christy will have Kathy order those from Amazon.

Christy presented the draft agreement between Meyer Electric and the County for the electrical project. Commissioners stated to go ahead and have Ken Shook do the final agreement.

Christy presented the annual settlement from the Treasurer. Gerald made a motion to accept. Shane 2nd. All in favor. Motion passed.

Christy presented the Supplemental Agreement for BRO (29).

Commissioners signed.

Christy presented the Crossing Agreement from Roseline for review. She had previously talked with Ivan Schraeder and he forwarded a sample Road Maintenance Agreement to review. Commissioners reviewed the draft Crossing Agreement and made some changes. Christy will forward to Medicine Township, with requested changes noted for their review.

Gloria Rhoads, 90, of Unionville, Missouri, passed away at the Putnam County Care Center in Unionville on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. She had been a resident there for a brief time.

Gloria Janet (Mills)

Rhoads was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, on April 28, 1932, the daughter of Orion and Hazel (Gaddis) Mills. Gloria was born with her twin sister, Glenda. Gloria spent her younger years in Idaho and the family moved back to Putnam County in 1941. She graduated from Unionville High School in 1950.

Putnam County Memorial Hospital in Unionville. She then worked at KOH and Grim Smith hospitals in Kirksville. She worked briefly in the clinic of Dr. English in Kirksville before retiring from Grim Smith Hospital.

A Look Back: Putnam County in the News

The following items were excerpted from the April 5, 1933, edition of The Unionville Republican. Beer and beer sales were a hot topic on the front page. In February Congress had passed the 21st Amendment repealing prohibition. Missouri set 12:01 am on Friday, April 7, 1933, when it would again be legal to sell beer in the state. It should be noted that a full repeal of prohibition allowing the sale of beverages with a higher alcohol content didn’t go into effect until December 5, 1933, when the amendment was fully ratified. [History.com]. It should also be noted that the country was still in the throes of the Depression and the front page detailed the reopening of two county banks.

A BEER RACE FRIDAY TRUCKS WITH AMBER FLUID DASH TO UNIONVILLE

Parched Throats

Anxiously Await Arrival – Local Places to be Ready to Jerk the Caps Off

Much activity is being had in and around Unionville in preparation for the advent of legal beer next Friday. Arrangements are being made by those who expect to handle it to be in readiness for the occasion at the earliest possible moment.

Various buildings

about town have been rented or leased to serve as warehouses, depots, or places in which to dispense the “non-intoxicating health beverage.”

Several breweries are to be represented in this territory among them being Anheuser Busch, Falstaff, Dick Bros., Goetz Brewing Co., and probably several others. Wholesale territory has been distributed and parceled out, and local retail agencies have been secured to cover the trade.

At least some of the local agencies expect to have beer here some time Friday. It has been expected that it would be possible to load trucks inside the brewery before midnight Thursday night, and have them ready to make a dash for their destination at one minute past midnight, but this now seems doubtful. It seems more likely that trucks can not be loaded until just past midnight, and that will make it uncertain just when these cargoes can be delivered, for there is no telling when a truck can be loaded when it must take its chances as to position in the line. … ***

POWERSVILLE

BANK TO OPEN

Will Open on a Restricted Basis for Receipt of New Deposits, Pending Final Solution of its Problems

The Farmers’ Bank

of Powersville will open Friday morning of this week on a restricted basis after being closed for several weeks voluntarily.

Because of the conditions existing at the time the officials of this bank thought it best to close the bank voluntarily until the situation could be cleared up, and before it had completed its plans for re-opening the moratorium laws had become effective, and this made it necessary for it to reopen under such restrictions as are imposed by these laws.

Under the plan, which is being followed in scores of cases over the state, the bank will open for the receipt of new deposits, which may be checked against in full by the depositor. The bank will either keep the cash itself, or else will invest the surplus in government bonds, so that these new deposits will be 100 per cent liquid. This means that these deposits will be as safe as the government itself. … *** BANK READY TO OPEN NEW DEPOSITS WILL BE 100 PER CENT LIQUID AND SAFE

Plans Completed for Operating Farmers’ Bank on Restricted Basis Until Final Basis Can Be Determined

The Farmers’ Bank of Unionville, which has been closed for a few weeks, will open for business on a restricted basis at 9:00 o’clock Friday morning.

This bank was unfortunate enough to close before the moratorium laws were passed, and could not perfect its plans for reopening be-

fore these laws became effective. The result was that it has just had to take its turn along with many other banks, and it was only lately that it could receive the attention which resulted in authorizing its reopening by the State Finance Department. … ***

TORNADO DOES DAMAGE MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY HAIL, RAIN

AND STRONG WIND

Small Cyclone Makes

Two Different Dips in this County – No One Injured

Last Thursday afternoon about 4:30 a cyclone did considerable damage in this county, both in the southwest part and in the northeast. It had gotten unusually warm during the afternoon and threatening clouds began to appear and many hurried to safety.

The cloud traveled in a northeasterly direction, but not fast, and did its damage in a strip about thirty to forty yards wide. The cloud came from the southwest and according to Ora Lemen, who lives about one and a half miles north of Lemons, did considerable damage in that community. He lost two brooder houses and the roof of one was found in Edgar Smith’s feed lot three-fourths of a mile away. … Mr. Lemen’s house was also damaged, having five windows blown out and the south side of the roof was blown from the house.

Mr. Lemen had gone to school after his children and was on the way home when he saw the cloud and he could see things whirling in the

air and heard the roar of it for a short time. On the road, near Mr. Lemen, was Carol, son of Mr. and Mr. Earl Kopfer, who was on his way from Lemons school, and he was picked up by the wind from his pony which he was riding and set down in the road, but uninjured. …

Following the damage southwest of town, the cloud made another dip down near Mendota and a letter from Mr. C. F. Durbin, of near Mendota, a sister of Mr. W. H. Forbes, of this city, states that considerable damage was done in that community. At their home the roof was blown off the north side of their house, and took part of the sheeting and shingles from their hen house. Many had buildings torn down, window lights blown out and other damage done to their property. Paty Hicks, of that community, is fortunate to be living as the wind picked his house up and left him sitting on the floor.

Much damage was done near Mendota by a big hail and rain storm. J. F. Brown, living in that community, said he never saw the branches any higher. The Mendota store had to be re-roof. Hiram Perkins said that it looked like someone had taken a claw hammer and torn up the roof, which was damaged by the hail. … ***

ROBBERY AT FILLING STATION

The Kozy Korner Oil and Gas station, near the depot, and on Nos. 5 and 4 highways, was entered sometime past midnight, or early this morning, and robbed of about $49 in cash, ten tires, four of which were for trucks and six for pleasure cars.

The robbery was discovered this morning at 6:00 o’clock, when Mr. Lee Smith, the manager, went to the place to open up. He found that the window east of the front door had been pried open and the lock broken to effect entrance. He called Sheriff Gibson, who made an investigation. No arrests have been made yet. ***

O. McQuary, of Bethany. These men have the following counties in their territory: Putnam, Mercer, Harrison, Daviess, Grundy, Sullivan, Linn and Livingston, and the north half of Caldwell county.

Discussing the new venture, Mr. Burns said that his group had already bought several new trucks and had fitted them up with special bodies for use in transporting the beer from the brewery in St. Louis to points in their territory.

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is a five member board of commissioners appointed to oversee utility projects within the state of Missouri. The five members are appointed by the governor and approved by the Missouri Senate. The PSC, as I will refer to them, is a somewhat powerful group, in the sense they have the authority to grant utility projects or some commercial projects with the power of eminent domain. Since the Grainbelt project has become somewhat of a controversial issue. Many have questioned whether there is enough representation on the PSC from the agribusiness world. HB1044 seeks to add 6 members onto the PSC. At least one member from each congressional district and no more than two from any one

congressional district. And of the eleven commissioners, three must have agribusiness backgrounds. Making sure there is some representation from agribusiness world only seems to make sense to me.

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.

I still listen to KTVO news in the morning and their soil temperature they report made me do some more thinking as spring comes about. The one soil temperature they report does not really tell the whole story which I will elaborate on here.

Utilizing soil temperatures is a useful tool for gardeners and farmers alike. However, there are differences in how and when you plant that you need to know. Examples would include are you planting in sod, bare soil, corn residue or bean residue as their soil temperatures vary. The depth you plant at makes a difference this time of year too. It varies by the University weather station you keep up with as well. The two in northern Missouri are in Unionville and Novelty. An example of that is 4-inch bare ground is 37 degrees in Unionville and 37.8 degrees at Novelty. That may not seem like a lot but both are too cold to plant anything but early vegetables.

What I am trying to say is while I am glad KTVO provides this, utilize it with a grain of salt. The weather stations (http://agebb.missouri.edu/weather/realtime/unionville.asp) in Unionville and Novelty (http://agebb.missouri. edu/weather/realtime/ novelty.asp) provide you

with much more detailed information you can fit to your location and situation so I hope you use those. If you want your weather even more localized to your farm, go to http://agebb.missouri.edu/horizonpoint/ and you can sign up for that at no charge. If you look at the horizon point site, it says for Unionville you can safely plant lettuce, spinach, onions and parsnips right now.

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.

Remember the “Market on the Square” in Unionville starts Saturday, May 1st, which is not far away. This market is the oldest in northern Missouri and one of the strongest. Hope you will join us then. Many other markets in our area begin in May so contact your county extension office if you need more information.

Thank You, PC Café Meal Champions!

They are back. Chad Elliott and Kathryn Fox are returning to the Bixler 108 Listening Room on Friday, April 14, this time as the newly formed duo, Weary Ramblers. Their first appearance at the Bixler was April 1, 2022, when they appeared as three members (Chad, Kathryn and Kevin Boehnke) of the group known as Chad Elliott and the Redemptions. They quickly became audience favorites. Chad and Kathryn were back as a duo two weeks later, Kathryn was back again with Kevin Boehnke as a duo in August and then in November Chad and Kathryn were back again with the full four member Redemptions band. Each performance drew the biggest audience that the Bixler 108 Listening Room has had in its 4 year history.

Weary Ramblers bring years of experience to the stage with award winning songwriting and chemistry. Besides both being prolific song writers, Chad and Kathryn showcase multi-instrumental performances with tight harmonies and great storytelling.

Chad Elliott blends folk, roots, blues and rock with soulful writing to deliver an original sound that has been

honed from over two decades of touring and playing from coast to coast and border to border. Lauded as “Iowa’s Renaissance man” by Culture Buzz Magazine, Elliott has written more than 1,500 songs and recorded more than 25 albums while also cultivating his skills as a painter, sculptor, illustrator and author.

Kathryn Fox has been deemed “fiddler extraordinaire” by Cityview Magazine, who commented that “when listening to Fox for the first time, one might wonder how can a young woman make a violin sound so good?” In addition to being an award winning artist on her own, Kathryn teaches stringed instruments at Southwest Iowa Community College, has toured internationally with fiddle troupe, Barrage 8, has performed and recorded PBS specials and has recorded and played with world renowned artists and groups including The Eagles, The Beach Boys, Osmond Brothers, Gloria Gaynor, Kenny Loggins, and Bobby McFerrin, to name a few.

“If you have not heard Chad and Kathryn, you have missed something extraordinary.. You really have to see and hear

them in person to understand how special this duo and their music is,” said Tom Keedy, who is responsible for bring the Weary Ramblers to the Bixler. “I first heard Chad and Kathryn at a concert in Lamoni, Iowa a year ago in March and I instantly knew that I needed to get them to The Bixler and I am thrilled that they are coming back again this year”, Keedy added.

With their busy touring schedule, this is the only time that Chad and Kathryn will be performing at the Bixler 108 Listening Room this year, but they are planning to come back next year as artists in residence at the 2024 Putnam County Fair.

Show time for the Weary Ramblers on Friday, April 14 is 7 pm. There is never an admission charge at the Bixler 108 Listening Room, however donations are gratefully accepted and are necessary to keep bringing great musical artists like Chad Elliott and Kathryn Fox to Unionville. For more information go to The Bixler 108 Facebook page or contact Tom Keedy at 660-626-7803 or at thebixler108@gmail.com.
