Cole Yearsley heard the news late Friday night.

Vince Schulte, father of SCC baseball coach Justin Schulte, had passed away.

A few hours later, the Blackhawk head coach was back at Community Field.

And Schulte gathered his team before the most important game of the season.

“That’s the first time we’ve ever seen him get emotional in front of us,” Yearsley said. “After all he’s done for us, there was no way we were going to lose that game.”

Yearsley was right.

Southeastern outlasted a tough, gritty Williston State (N.D.) team 3-2 to win the North Plains District title Saturday afternoon at Community Field.

SCC (46-16) won the final two games of the best-of-3 series after dropping the first game to the Tetons on Friday.

The Blackhawks, ranked 10th nationally, advance to the national tournament, set to start this weekend in Enid,

Oklahoma.

“I just can’t say enough about our players and how resilient they are,” Schulte said. “They stepped up and made the plays when we needed to. It was a tough series, but our guys just kept battling. They were determined to finish this.”

Southeastern landed its first national berth since 2014.

“This is an elite program here,” Schulte said.

“We’ve won a lot of games with a lot of great players. But making it to the national tournament is very difficult. Especially playing in a really tough region like we do.

“It’s special to do this. Very special. It is a great accomplishment for this group. Give our kids credit for playing really well.”

The win Saturday was Schulte’s 700th career victory in his 18 seasons with the Blackhawks.

“We wanted to do everything we could to keep Coach Schulte happy today,” SCC catcher Caleb Wulf said after Saturday’s win. “We wanted to do this for Blackhawks ... Cont. to pg. 5

the American flags that are proudly displayed throughout the town for special days such as Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day.

proud to gift their funds to such a significant project, and hope those within the community will join them in remembering the sacrifices made by our local Veterans, and all Veterans, this Memorial Day.

Farmee Enters Second Year of Serving Farmers and Providers

Des Moines, IA –Farmmee, the app that connects American farmers with farmers when they need help the most, celebrates it’s 2nd year of helping farmers and service providers address challenges and get paid for it.

The app, available in Android and iOS versions, soon to launch a web-version, is easier than ever to use. There are two user categories:

farmer and provider. Users can be both, if desired. Using a menu, farmers can list jobs they want help with, such as planting, harvesting, hauling cattle, baling hay, construction, trucking and others.

Service providers can list the services they offer, such as spreading manure, hauling hay, agronomy, welding, harvesting and other types of services.

Once a farmer selects a desired service, Farmmee finds providers using ZIP codes and counties as GIS locaters so providers will know where a specific job is located. Farmers mark their fields so providers can validate the location for their ability to deliver services to them before offering a quote.

He connected with Tim Sinns, a custom farmer located near Oskaloosa, Kansas. Trevisan posted his unique harvest needs for fields near Rock Port, Missouri, last season in

Christians In Between

It was my first pastorate and the first revival for the new pastor. One night a man I had never seen answered the invitation. With tears in his eyes, he confessed he was an inactive member. He was rededicating his life and wanted to support the new pastor and the church. I was thrilled. Later, another church member warned me, “Pastor, don’t be too excited; he does this at every revival. In a few Sundays, you will not see him again until the next Revival.” Unfortunately, the church member was right.

er the spirit moves me.” While working on my project for a seminary degree, I interviewed the inactive members of our church personally. I was quite shocked to learn that some of them regarded themselves as faithful members, yet they had never attended church in all my tenure.

Dalice McDannald presented the Rotary program Thursday. McDannald discussed her sixmonth mission trip to Mexico. While in Mexico, McDannald participated in Street Ministry, Worship in area churches working with both Adults and Youth. McDannald concluded fielding questions.

Summer School

Summer School is in full swing by now with kids continuing to learn and experience many things outside that they wouldn’t normally do

Kevin Collins during the regular school year. Back in the day, summer school wasn’t always looked upon as favorably as it is today. It also offers the opportunity for students to get a good meal and a place to be during the Summer break. And back in the day there wasn’t air conditioning either!

Playle & Collins

When the Pew Research Organization began their work, they asked the question, “Do you consider yourself a faithful Christian?” They evaluated the answer by how often a person went to church. By this standard, a faithful Christian went to church every Sunday. One who attended twice a month was rated as semi-faithful. Today, I am told they regard attendance once every few months as faithful. When asked how the organization explained this change, they replied, “Times have changed.”

Regarding this rule for evaluating faithful Christianity, many reply they go to church, “Whenev-

No doubt, the Pew research evaluation is flawed. So, let’s talk about what you do between your times at church. I took my car to the shop for repair. A mechanic was giving someone a tongue lashing. Thankfully, the person he was demeaning was not present. The mechanic’s rant was filled with verbiage that was far from Christian. A few weeks later, a local pastor asked me to supply for him. Imagine my surprise when that mechanic came to the altar to lead the offertory prayer.

It is not my intention to preach a negative sermon with this column. Such sermons are of minimal value. Neither is it my intention to tell you how often you should attend church. Jesus told us that faithful Christians follow Him. What is important is how you follow Him while you are in church as well as times in between.

Carroll was a member of the Unionville Rotary Club and was instrumental in the passage of the school bond to build the current High School. While at the ASCS, he helped to construct the 4-H and extension club booths at the Putnam County Fair, and he also volunteered to work at the fair gate.

Carroll Roof, 76, of Unionville, Missouri, passed away at the age of 76 on Friday, May 19, 2023.

Carroll Eugene Roof was born in Unionville on May 17, 1947, the son of Leon and Pauline “Polly” (Crouse) Roof. Carroll grew up on rural farms attending rural schools until his freshman year when he attended Milan High School. His family moved to Putnam County, and he completed high school at Unionville High School where he graduated in 1965. Carroll enjoyed playing football, basketball, and participating in track.

Immediately following high school, Carroll attended IBM Training, graduating at the top of his class. He turned down an IBM job offer to further his education at Northeast Missouri State Teacher’s College in Kirksville, Missouri.

Farming was Carroll’s passion, and he farmed throughout his life until his retirement. His farming operation included row crops, raising livestock, and haying. He often worked with his father and, at times, the whole Roof clan.

In addition to farming, Carroll also worked as the Putnam County Memorial Hospital Administrator for over a decade. He then became County Executive Director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. He was a North Central Missouri Electric Cooperative Director for many years before joining NCMEC as Office Manager. Carroll was the bookkeeper and board treasurer for the Public Water Supply District of Putnam County until 2 ½ years ago.

Carroll served the Putnam County community as well. He was an avid Midget sports fan. At one time, he had not missed a varsity football game for over 30 years, beginning when his brother Ronny played. He helped to plan and

Carroll loved playing cards with family. Watching the St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, Mizzou Tigers, and PC Midgets was also a favorite pastime. He spent many evenings playing softball and basketball with his daughters after a long day in the field. Carroll could always be found at their ballgames and other activities throughout their school years. He was nicknamed “King” by a great nephew, which eventually led to his grandchildren’s loving nickname, Papa King. He enjoyed taking his grandkids, nieces, and nephew to check cattle which always included a stop at Casey’s for drinks, animal crackers, donuts, and anything else they desired.

Carroll accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and was a member of Omaha Baptist Church.

Carroll was preceded in death by his parents, Leon and Polly Roof,

and his sister-in-law Linda Roof. Also preceding his death were his in-laws, Carl and Mary Emma Thompson, and brother and sister-in-law David and Connie Hunt, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

“I know my dad would’ve been really proud of us and our team,” Justin Schulte said. “He was our biggest fan. He loved Blackhawk baseball and he loved these players.”

A scrappy Williston State squad, the Region XIII champions, finished 35-17.

The Tetons won 3-1 in the series opener Friday before Southeastern responded to prevail 6-1 late Friday afternoon to force a deciding third game.

“We didn’t play our best baseball,” Yearsley said. “It was a challenging series. But we found a way to get the job done.”

For the third straight game, Southeastern’s pitching staff was superb.

Starter Mason Behn continued to pitch well. He allowed two runs in five-plus innings.

“I just treated it like any other game,” Behn said. “I tried to make pitches and give our

team a chance.

“It’s a great feeling to win this. This team has really come together and we love each other like brothers.”

SCC relievers Will Hoernemann and Gage Pearson followed with brilliant performances. Neither pitcher allowed a run.

“Our pitching staff did an incredible job,” Schulte said. “That’s about as good as we’ve thrown the ball all season. Those guys stepped up — we needed them to and they came through.”

“Our pitching staff was phenomenal all weekend,” Wulf said. “They are the reason we are going to Enid. All three starting pitchers were really impressive. And our bullpen was clutch.”

The game was deadlocked 2-2 before Southeastern’s Sam Skarich opened the bottom of the seventh inning with a walk. He took second on a wild pitch before moving to third base on Marcus Beatty’s sharp single to left field.

Sophomore Taichi Nakao then lifted a deep fly ball to the warning track in left field to drive in Skarich with a sacrifice fly.

It turned out to be the game-winning RBI for the Blackhawks.

“I was just trying to drive in a run and help the team,” Nakao said. “I saw a good pitch to hit and I was trying to do my job. That fly ball to left field did it.

ally came through. This is unbelievable to win this.”

Pearson recorded the final out on a fly ball that landed in Beatty’s glove in left field.

That set off a wild celebration as gloves went flying and another dogpile followed at Community Field. SCC had a similar celebration Monday after winning the Region XI title on the same field.

“Our pitching staff really stepped up — that motivated me to want to do well,” Pearson said. “It is so rewarding for our team to win a big game like that. It’s an amazing feeling — it’s just awesome.”

For Yearsley, a sophomore center fielder, it has been a memorable journey.

“We’ve put so much hard work, and time and effort into this,” he said. “With everything we do and all of the long bus rides, it has all been worth it. It feels amazing to be going to the national tournament. This is what you play for.

“And we’re not done yet. We still have a lot more that we want to accomplish.”

Schulte and his wife, Tara, left Community Field immediately after SCC’s second game Friday afternoon.

The coach arrived back at a nursing home in Amana in time to spend a few hours with his father before he died around 10:30 p.m. Friday.

Vince Schulte actually watched the live video stream of Game 1 of the district finals series on Friday.

“I told him he was a great father,” Coach Schulte said as tears streamed down his face. “I was proud to be his son.”

On Monday, May 22, it was an edge of the seat situation for the Midget faithful, who were on the road at Harrisburg for the sectional baseball game. It wasn’t until the top of the fifth inning when the Midgets posted the only run of the game when Brayden McReynolds crossed the plate. With the 1-0 win in seven innings, the Midgets advanced to host Salisbury in quarterfinal action on Wednesday, May 24.

The Midgets utilized three pitchers for the win. Vincent Jones went two and two-thirds innings, allowing no runs on no hits and striking out three. Owen Ream threw two innings of relief. Mason Morris went

two and one-third innings, allowing not hits and no runs and striking out three.

The Midgets five hits in the game came from Brayden McReynolds, Morris, Brock Munden, Randall Ayers and Reise Brundage and they left six runners on base. McReynolds and Kooper Hornaday both recorded sacrifices.

Morris and McReynolds both posted stolen bases.

Harrisburg recorded two hits and left nine runners stranded.

Starting pitcher Vincent Jones delivers the strike in quarterfinal play against the Salisbury Panthers.

On Wednesday, May 24, the Midgets hosted the Salisbury Panthers in the quarterfinals, with the Midgets being the guests on the scoreboard. Putnam County got the bat on the ball solidly several times, but unfortunately, there was a Panther there to field the ball each time.

The Midgets fielded the ball well, highlighted by a double play on the Panthers in the bottom of the second.

The score was tied at 0-0 after two and onehalf innings. With two out in the bottom of the

third, the Panther batter connected driving the ball deep down the left field line to score two runs. As the game progressed, the Panthers went on to score two more handing the Midgets a 4-0 loss and earning the right to advance to the semifinals, where they will face off with Chaffee.

The Midgets ended their season with a record of 21-8. Congratulations, players and coaches, on a very successful season, which included a three-peat at the district level.

Public Notice

Public notices… Your right to know… and be informed of the function of your government are embodied in public notices.

the Farmmee app. Sinns responded and worked the full harvest. He and Trevisan were pleased with the outcome and are considering more work together.

One attribute of the app users report liking is that Farmmee charges a small, one-time fee to farming providers once they accept a job, rather than a percentage of the total fee paid. Farmers needing help are never charged. Farmers and service providers are free to negotiate the rates paid. They can even barter if they so choose. Farmmee does not take a cut of any transaction.

Addresses gaps

“There are gaps in farming communities when it comes to connecting farmers with farmers,” Molly Woodruff, CEO and farmer, says. “Farmers consistently tell us their biggest need, or gap, is when their equipment breaks down or when they need extra equipment quickly. It is hard to find experienced help, especially when they’re working with tight timelines.

NOTICE

Notice is hereby given that the annual stockholders’ meeting of the Putnam County State Bank will be held at its banking house, 1522 Main St.,Unionville, Missouri at one o’clock on the 14th day of June, 2023. The purpose of the meeting will be to elect seven directors for the ensuing year.

ficiently with the time and resources they have by connecting them and their expertise to each other.”

Constantly evolving

Like the farmers it serves, Farmmee is continually changing to meet market needs. The inaugural version featured 19 farmer and provider categories. The latest version features over 25 farmer and provider categories.

“Farmer input has guided the categories we’ve added,” Woodruff says. “Their suggestions help us improve the app so they and new users benefit more. We encourage users to offer all the suggestions they want because we’re constantly improving the app for them, not us.” Iowa born. Iowa operated.

Farmmee was created in Iowa and maintains operations there. Woodruff and her husband operate a diversified farm. Cindy Rockwell, director of business development, owns an Iowa corn and soybean farm and Becky McCrea, chief technology officer, is also an Iowa resident and has a history working in Crop Insurance. In addition to farming, the three are involved in the information technology sector. Plans are to grow Farmmee from the Heartland.

Last year when I was still working, we had a sudden outbreak of armyworms. This year they have begun in Southwest Missouri and though they are not a threat here yet, keep a lookout in your corn fields especially. They can also have a second generation which normally affects hay and pasture fields. The biggest issue with the second-generation larvae is they can wipe out a forage crop overnight. I am not trying to scare anyone but just remember to scout for them diligently. Our warm and drier weather does not help either as I write this. Some resources extension has include a scouting video at https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=yzkPrpRj4mc. Another resource for armyworms and other pests is the Pest Monitoring Network that you as a producer can sign up for and receive texts on your phone. Go to https://ipm.missouri. edu/pestMonitoring/ to sign up, it is free.

FORAGE TIME

It’s hard for me to believe but haying time is coming faster than you think or maybe a few have begun. I have discussed forage quality versus quantity many times in the past but if you are a livestock producer, quality is more important. As I shared in the past, a 1-inch rain causes less quality damage than waiting too long to start harvesting. Hay is not a cheap forage

to put up so the better quality you get, the more it will make you in the end. Testing you hay or haylage after it has been put up (30 days) is not only a cheap investment but can tell you a lot about the quality of this year’s harvest. Contact your county extension office to get assistance with that later.

REMINDERS

The 4-H and FFA weigh-in on Sunday, June 11 from 2 to 4 pm You must bring your animals in if you need them nose printed on that day. The swine, sheep and goats will all be done as they come in so no specific time for each species as was the case in the past. I will plan to remind you again next week.

The “Market on the Square” continues every Saturday morning on the west side of the square. Some things you can find are asparagus, lettuce, carrots, rhubarb, plants, baked goods, eggs and many other early spring items with more on the way every week. In addition to those, the market has crafts, clothing, soap, woodworking, collectibles and other handicrafts.

The market in Unionville runs every Saturday from now until the end of October from 7 to 11 am or when items are gone. There are farmer’s markets in other counties also.
