As the music coming out of Nashville edges ever closer to the pop genre, it’s up to artists like Lewis to carry the torch of traditional country. Though she has lived in Chicago for nearly two decades now, she was raised in Osceola – a town of 800 people in the Missouri Ozarks. Her childhood home was down dirt road where Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings and EmmyLou Harris were fixtures on the radio. Her grandfather, himself a guitarist

in a band, also played his part by introducing her to the artists that he loved, such as Earl Scruggs and Lefty Frizzell. Growing up Lewis sang in her church’s gospel choir as well as with her grandfather’s country band. She later trained in classical piano and studied at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in chemical engineering. After college she worked for Monsanto and Clorox and then took some time
off to help raise her children and cultivate her passion for music. She is back at work as a chemical engineer, but still finds time for her music which, true to her country roots, Jodee populates with characters that duck responsibility, drink too much, and are nearly always left high and dry— all delivered with a rueBixler 108 ...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Recent disasters in Morocco and Turkey serve as reminders of the destructive power of earthquakes. It’s also an important reminder that one of the country’s most active earthquake zones is located right here in Missouri. In 1811-12, the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), centered in southeast Missouri, produced some of the most powerful earthquakes in U.S. history. Similar earthquakes today would lead to major damage and destruction.

It’s Complicated
Our very capable Sunday School teacher, Jim Nelson, was leading a discussion of Acts 9 through 11. Those chapters tell how the gospel moved from Judaism to Christianity. This passage reports the happenings of that momentous event. It reveals God’s ingenious involvement in human affairs. It is complicated. Let me outline it for you.

Where The World Feeds
Kevin Collins
We recently had a guest at our place from out of state. First time in north Missouri. I sometimes wonder what first-tim-
ers think of our community. As we drive down our roads, we mostly see cattle, corn, and soybeans (and maybe smell the hogs). It is said that one US farm feeds 166 people annually in the US and abroad. I hope people know that this kind of country is where the world feeds.
Peter was on a tour telling people about Jesus; he stopped in Lydda long enough to heal the bedridden Aeneas, then moved on to Joppa where he raised Tabitha/ Dorcas from death.
Disciples in nearby Caesarea heard of Peter’s presence and sent for him. In Caesarea, an angel alerted Cornelius, a Roman Centurian and devout God-fearer, of Peter’s whereabouts and advised him to send for Peter.
Peter is at the house of Simon the Tanner---a no/no for Peter because Jews have no “truck” with those who touch the dead. Peter has a vision; a sheet descends with creatures “unclean” to Jews. God instructs Peter to “kill and eat.”
“No,” Peter responds, “ I don’t eat unclean food.”
“Don’t call what I
A crowd of Gentiles gather. Peter preaches to them the message of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit falls on them all. Peter “gets it.” The gospel is for all of God’s creatures. He proclaims, “Now I understand; God has no favorites; all who fear Him are acceptable.”
The Greeks had a word for this kind of complicated account. They called it a pregnant story. There are at least five key players in the story. It unfolds in more than four towns in a very pagan society. There is a demonstrative vision from God, two angels deliver messages, and then the climactic, surprising descent of the Holy Spirit on the Gentiles in the presence of Peter, the other Jews, and the entire group.
Think about it! Without any knowledge on the part of the participants, God worked out this complicated event, and that opened the gospel to all the world.
As our Sunday School class concluded, I was wondering what yet untold plans God is making for me and you.

MDC Wants Feathers From Fall Turkey Hunters
archery season (Sept. 15 through Nov. 10 and Nov. 22 through Jan. 15, 2024) or the fall firearms season (Oct. 1-31) are asked to mail feathers from their turkeys to MDC using a postage-paid envelope from MDC.
The feathers will help MDC scientists improve research models used to monitor turkey population trends and estimate turkey numbers across the state.
MDC instructs turkey hunters to save the 9th and 10th primary wing feathers and 3-5 breast feathers (see diagram) from harvested turkeys after Telechecking.
For a Feather Submission Form and more information from MDC, visit mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/
turkey/fall-turkey-feather-submission.
“Once hunters have signed up for the program and Telechecked a turkey, we will mail them a feather submission packet containing additional instructions and a postage-paid envelope for the feathers to be placed inside and mailed back to MDC,” explained MDC Turkey Biologist Nick Oakley. “Hunters will receive one packet for each turkey they harvest during the fall seasons, so please be sure to keep each turkey’s feathers separate and labeled with the correct Telecheck ID.”
Hunters can email the MDC Wild Turkey Management Program with questions at wildturkey@mdc.mo.gov.

On September 13th, 2023, First Interstate Bank shut down early to put a fresh coat of paint on the front of Putnam County Fair’s stage. This volunteer effort was the result of a grant from First Interstate Bank which not only paid for the supplies needed but provided the labor to carry through this com-
munity improvement. The Putnam County Fair Board feels grateful to have been selected in this process and knows this improvement will be appreciated by the entire public.
The Unionville project was just one of many company-wide volunteer projects performed by First Interstate Bank employees.

Barbara Bruce
Barbara Jean (Walton) Bruce, age 87, passed away peacefully on September 11, 2023, with family at her side. She was born the eldest child and only daughter of Charles W. Walton and Genevieve M. (Zeeb) Walton on April 8, 1936, in Stow, OH.
Barb was reared in Ohio, Michigan, and Minnesota, attending three high schools in four years. It was her desire to settle in one place when she became an adult. She met her husband of 57 years, William Clayton Bruce, while attending college in Columbia, MO. Life quickly led them to Bill’s hometown of
Unionville, MO and their life-long occupation of farming. Barb was a city girl but adapted to farm life in Western Putnam County. There, she and Bill raised three children, William C. Bruce, Jr., Jeanne Bruce Jarrett and Robert D. Bruce. Barb loved Putnam County and adopted Unionville as her hometown. She was a very proud mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Her grandchildren affectionately referred to her as ‘Gram’.
During her lifetime, Barb saw many changes take place, from having the first small, black and white TV in her neighborhood, to learning to navigate Facebook, and her iPad. She also transitioned from a wall-mounted crank phone on a party line to cellphones. Farm machinery just kept expanding as did the size of farms. Some of Barb’s favorite childhood memories include the summers she spent with her Walton grandparents in

Carlinville, Il. She also loved living on a lake in St Paul, MN, during high school. She became a certified lifeguard, later teaching her children and a few neighbor kids how to swim in her farm pond. She, Bill and the family enjoyed many summers during the 1970’s on Lake Thunderhead north of Unionville. Sundays were filled with swimming, boating, water-skiing, and socializing. There was a lot of fun, hard work and some valuable lessons learned, such as, when leading a steer in the corral and the steer decides to take off, let go of the lead rope. Never stand directly behind someone casting a fishing pole. Throw your body in front of a stampeding herd of cattle, unless you want to get yelled at. If you didn’t want your face rubbed with her spit, make sure you have a clean face. If you didn’t want her to fling her arm in front of you while simultaneously putting on lipstick, smoking a cigarette and driving at a high rate of speed, just sit in the
back. If you truly wanted her to do something, tell her to do the opposite. Her strong will made life anything but dull.
For several years, Barb spent time quilting and reading novels. Each of her children and grandchildren possess one or more of her beautiful quilts. After her husband passed away, she enjoyed socializing with friends at the local cafe in Unionville. She had to leave every day by a certain time to be sure to get ‘her seat’ and rarely missed an evening.
Barb was widely liked by those that knew her. Her kind, gracious and caring attributes made her a wonderful role model for her family. As her parents and her parents-in-law went through their twilight years, it was Barb that unselfishly stepped up to help care for them. She saw each of them through to the end.
Barb was preceded in death by her parents, her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Dean and Mabel Bruce, husband William C. Bruce, her
oldest son, William C. Bruce, Jr., sister-in-law, Nancy Walton, sisterin-law, Dorothy Bruce Skinner, and niece, Pamela Walton Moorhead.
Survivors include her daughter, Jeanne Bruce (Brooks) Jarrett, her son, Robert D. (Kelly) Bruce, and a daughterin-law, Cindy Bruce.
Grandchildren are Jerod Bruce Altiser, Kristen Altiser Flowers, Brooks Clayton Jarrett, Shannon Jarrett Orton, Austin Bruce, Riley Bruce, Jennifer Bruce Gilworth, Jill Bruce Hancock, and Jeana Bruce Bigham.
Great grandchildren are Landon Altiser, Colden Altiser, Heven Truitt, Brycen Altiser, Addylinn Flowers, Layla Jarrett, Jessa Jarrett, Demri Jarrett, Keaton Orton, Lainey Orton, Emmie Orton, Jalynn Gilworth Shafer, Cadence Gilworth, Avery Gilworth, Madison Hancock, Marissa Hancock, William Bigham and Katherine Bigham.
Great-Great grandchildren include Talon Altiser, Ryker Altiser, Lennox
Altiser and Rivy Schafer. She is also survived by her niece, Melissa Walton Loubert, nephew, Estill Skinner and niece, Elizabeth Skinner Fernbacher.
Services for Barb were Friday, September 15th at the Playle-Collins Funeral Home in Unionville, MO, with visitation one hour prior to the service. Marilyn Fitzgerald conducted the service with recorded musical selections “I’ll Fly Away,” “When I Get to Where I’m Going,” and “See You Again.”
The casket bearers were Jerod Altiser, Brooks Jarrett, Austin Bruce, Riley Bruce, Landon Altiser, and Colden Altiser. Interment was in the Unionville Cemetery.
If you wish to donate to a memorial in Barb’s honor, checks may be made to the Unionville Historic Square Inc., one of Barb’s favorite charities, and sent to the Playle-Collins Funeral Home, 709 S. 27th , Unionville, M0, 63565.

the 2023 Great Central U. S. ShakeOut earthquake drill on Thursday, Oct. 19. Missouri is one of 14 participating central U.S. states that could be impacted by a NMSZ earthquake.
“Missouri is home to a very large and active seismic zone,” State Emergency Management Agency Director Jim Remillard said. “Earthquakes occur without warning, so it’s important to prepare now. The ShakeOut drill is a great opportunity to practice so you know what to do when the shaking starts.”
At 10:19 a.m. on Oct. 19, hundreds of thousands of Missourians will practice the “Drop, Cover, Hold On” technique:
DROP to your hands and knees; COVER your head and neck with your hands and arms under a table or desk if you can; and
HOLD ON until the shaking stops.
Studies show that in developed countries with modern structures, falling debris is the most common source of injury in an earthquake. Ex-

perts advise that when an earthquake occurs in the U.S., the “Drop, Cover and Hold On” technique is the best protection from falling debris.
To sign up for the ShakeOut, register online at www.shakeout. org/centralus. Schools, businesses, community organizations or any other group can register as well as families and individuals. Once registered, participants will receive regular updates on the drill and information on earthquake preparedness and safety.
The NMSZ is one of the most active earthquake zones in the country, averaging more than 200 small quakes per year. Another major earthquake in this zone would be felt not only in Missouri but throughout the Midwest, damaging much of the southern and eastern parts of the state, including the St. Louis metropolitan area.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – After a hot and humid summer, most are welcoming the fall season with open arms. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages people to enjoy fall foliage through camping, hiking, driving tours, or even floating. To help, MDC offers weekly online fall color updates from agency foresters all over the state at mdc.mo.gov/fallcolor.
“Our weekly fall color updates are a great resource for the public,” said MDC Forestry Field Programs Supervisor Russell Hinnah. “Foresters begin posting reports in mid-September that show users where trees are beginning to turn and even suggest great places to see changing leaves.”
Hinnah noted the drought experienced over the summer could affect this year’s color.
“The dry conditions we saw this summer could cause trees to lose their leaves early or begin changing colors earlier than normal,” he said. “This may affect the amount of fall color we see later in the season.”
The chilly evenings we see in the fall season are critical for leaves to change color.
“Sugars produced by photosynthesis are trapped inside leaves by the cool autumn nights,” Hinnah explained. “Those sugars are the building blocks for the rich red, yellow, orange, and purple pigments. Chilly nights cause the breakdown of green pigments, allowing the fall
Missouri trees first begin changing color in the northern part of the state, then move southward. Sassafras, sumac, and Virginia creeper are some of the earliest to change in mid-September. In late September, black gum, bittersweet, and dogwood are turning. The peak of fall color usually hits around mid-October.
“Trees like maple, ash, oak, and hickory are at the peak of their fall display by the middle of October,” Hinnah noted. “Normally by the end of the month, colors are fading and leaves are falling.”
Missouri’s fall color can be enjoyed from almost anywhere. For spectacular vistas, choose routes along rivers with views of forested bluffs, and along ridges with sweeping scenes of forested landscapes.
“MDC conservation areas or Missouri state parks are wonderful places to take in the fall color,” suggested Hinnah.
And fall color isn’t just limited to trees. Prairies and roadsides display beautiful shades of gold, purple, olive, and auburn with autumn wildflowers, shrubs, and grasses. In cities and towns, enjoy places with mature trees such as older neighborhoods, parks, and even cemeteries.
MDC provides its annual fall color update at mdc.mo.gov/fallcolor.
The weekly reports include what species of trees are turning and suggestions on best places to see them. The updates run September through November.

The Chicago Tribune says her “outsized talent is as big as her voice” and referred to her first album, “Whiskey Halo”, as “impressive.” A single from that album, “The End”, was the winner of the 16th Annual American Songwriting contest. Whiskey Halo was also chosen as album of the year at the 14th Annual Independent Music Awards. Another single from that album, “From A Bottle”, took top honors as country song of the year. Buzzard’s Bluff, her second album, named after a real bluff near where she grew up, is a fitting landscape for Lewis’ songs of searching and self-reflection. Her shared emotions and honesty, which is woven into her songs, make for an easy connection with her audience.
Her September 23 concert in Unionville

MO Deer Hunters Asked to Share the Harvest and Follow CWD Regulations
CWD Management Zone counties may only be donated to Share the Harvest if they are tested for CWD. Donations must go to a meat processor participating in the Share the Harvest CWD Testing Program. Deer harvested outside of the CWD Management Zone do not need to be tested for donation to Share the Harvest and may be taken to any Share the Harvest processor.
For more information on Share the Harvest, visit MDC online at mdc. mo.gov/share.
forts to limit the spread of CWD by finding new cases as early as possible and managing the disease to slow its spread to more deer in more areas.
MDC’s CWD Management Zone consists of counties where or near where CWD has been found. MDC has included 14 new counties as part of the CWD Management Zone this year: Bollinger, Caldwell, Carroll, Clay, Clinton, Dallas, Grundy, Jasper, Livingston, Madison, Montgomery, Pemiscot, Ray, and Schuyler.
Caldwell, Carroll, Clinton, Grundy, Livingston, Montgomery, Ray, and Schuyler counties.
Hunters who harvest deer in select CWD Management Zone counties during Nov. 11-12 must take the deer (or its head) on the day of harvest to a mandatory CWD sampling station.
CWD Management Zone for hunters to deposit harvested deer heads to have tested for CWD.
Instructions, packing supplies, and information tags are available at the sites. Get more information on voluntary sampling and drop-off locations online at mdc. mo.gov/cwd.

Donated deer meat goes to local food banks and food pantries to help feed hungry Missourians.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages deer hunters to share their harvests to help feed hungry Missourians. MDC also reminds deer hunters to have their deer tested for chronic wasting disease (CWD) and follow related regulations.
Missouri’s deer season opened with archery hunting on Sept. 15 and runs through the close of the second archery portion on Jan. 15 with other hunting portions during this time. Get more on deer season portions and dates at mdc.mo.gov/ hunting-trapping/species/deer.
Share the Harvest MDC encourages deer hunters to share their harvests by donating surplus venison to the Share the Harvest program to help feed hungry Missourians. The donated deer meat goes to local food banks and food pantries to help feed hungry Missourians all around the state. To get Share the
Harvest venison, contact local food banks or food pantries.
Donating is easy. Simply take harvested deer to an approved meat processor and let the processor know how much venison to donate. Meat-processing fees are covered entirely or in part by numerous local sponsors, along with statewide sponsors.
The program is administered by the Conservation Federation of Missouri and MDC and has provided nearly 5 million pounds of lean, healthy venison to help feed hungry Missourians since it was started in 1992.
The National Institutes of Health state that children need protein in their diets for proper growth and development, and adults need it to maintain good health.
Yet many Missourians can’t afford or can’t get to good sources of protein. Through Share the Harvest, Missouri hunters can help provide those in need with high-quality protein in the form of naturally lean, locally harvested deer meat.

Hunters must also follow carcass-movement restrictions when bringing parts of harvested deer and other cervids into Missouri from another state. Learn more about CWD and related regulations and restrictions online at mdc. mo.gov/cwd.
CWD Sampling and Testing All Season
As part of its efforts to find cases of CWD early and help slow its spread, MDC is again offering free voluntary CWD sampling and testing of harvested deer during the entire deer season at select locations throughout the state, including some MDC offices and participating taxidermists and meat processors.
MDC also offers self-service freezer dropoff locations within the
Hunters can get their CWD test results for free online at mdc.mo.gov/ cwdResults. Results are usually available within four weeks or less from the time of sampling.

There are currently five 4-H clubs in Putnam County. Ashlyn will be promoting National 4-H Week in early October and is working to get more kids involved in 4-H. Several Rotarians present at the meeting remarked they learned many things in 4-H, including clowning, electricity, woodworking, sewing, and cooking. Ashlyn was a member
After a long, hot summer void of most hunting opportunities, avid hunters are likely to be itching for a chance to get back out in the field. One of the fist opportunities a hunter will have to hunt after the summer has ended is during dove season. Dove season officially started on September 1st of this year and ends on November 29th. The shooting hours for dove season are one half hour before sunrise to sunset.
the mourning dove species than the other two. Mourning doves can be found throughout the state and are often abundant, using both wild and planted food sources. Doves are sensitive to hunting pressure and weather, which can create a situation where doves are abundant one day and gone the next.

One need for 4-H youth is people willing to serve as project leaders. The project leader meets with the members several times and teaches the project. Anyone interested in helping local youth learn something new and useful should contact the Extension Office at 660-947-2705 or stop by the office located on the first floor of the courthouse.
Lisa Doster, University Extension Engagement Specialist, is over 9 counties and is based in Scotland County. She stated that actually Putnam County has one of the largest 4-H populations in the region, but it has declined in recent years.
I always feel that before you decide to hunt a specific species, you should know as much as possible about the quarry you are pursuing. Missouri is home to three different species of dove that all happen to be legal to harvest during the state’s dove hunting season. Mourning doves are the most common species found statewide, but hunters may also encounter white-winged doves or Eurasian collared-doves. White-winged doves are common to southwest states and Mexico. Eurasian collared-doves have arrived in Missouri recently and are increasingly common, especially in urban areas and grain-handling facilities.
In this part of the state, you are more than likely to come across
Back in the Day
Although understanding your prey is important, there are a few other factors to take into consideration. One of which being where to actually find doves. Luckily, finding suitable hunting grounds for doves is a relatively simple matter. Dove hunting is as simple as finding a location where doves are congregating and feeding. Harvested wheat stubble or corn silage fields, ponds with exposed banks and weed cover, and harvested sunflower fields are all excellent locations to target.
Lastly, before going out on your hunt, be sure to brush up on the code regulations regarding limits of birds that can be taken (which is 15 for a total of the three species of dove for the day), What can be used to hunt doves, and specific area regulations if you plan to hunt on public ground. Above all else, be sure to practice hunter’s safety and adequate muzzle control of your firearm.

4-H PROGRAM
I sincerely hope I do not have to tell most of you about the Missouri 4-H program. I will try in today’s column to go in depth about some things you may not know and why your kids should be a part of it.
4-H is the largest youth development program in the world today and is open to members from age 5 to age 18. That is the age you are at as of January 1st. I know many of you see it at the fair but 4-H is so much more than that. 4-H is a part of the University of Missouri Extension and teaches collaboration, community service, leadership and fun. In addition to the traditional 4-H clubs, 4-H offers special interest groups, camps, conferences and school enrichment programs. Members learn skills through the assistance of adult leaders.
MY CURRENT STATUS
I know you all are aware that I retired at the end of 2022 after 43 great years in north Missouri. Annette Valentine retired in July full-time at least. I do want to let you know that without an Ag person in north Missouri I will still answer my cell phone (660-626-6923) and answer what questions I can and direct you to those I cannot. Please contact your local office first but if they do not know, they will contact me or you can. Continue to check up on programs, publications and other resources on the webpage at University of Missouri Extension | MU Extension.

I hope many of you will take advantage of this great program.
The “Market on the Square” is still going strong every Saturday morning on the west side of the Unionville square. There are lots of vegetables (tomatoes, sweet corn, zucchinis, squash, etc.), fruits, baked goods and many other products (honey, farm fresh eggs, etc.) so take advantage whether here in Unionville or other locations. I really enjoy getting to talk to many of you at the fair a couple of weeks ago. It was so good to catch up and visit with you all. I am enjoying my retirement but still keeping busy, just not as much.

Hydorn Family Honored as PC Farm Family at MO State Fair
Hyle Named PC 4-H Member of the Year
The Hydorn family pictured in front (L to R): Shawn Hydorn, Tiffany Trent, Leslie Hydorn, Treyton Trent, Joyce Hydorn and Tracy Meinecke were honored as the 2023 Missouri State Farm Family for Putnam County.

4-H YPA/Office Secretary
Submitted by Ashlyn Stout, Putnam County 4-H YPA/ Office Secretary Unionville, Mo. ― Leslie and Joyce Hydorn and family of Unionville, were among the families honored during the 66th annual Missouri Farm Family Day, Aug. 14 at the Missouri State Fair.
The Hydorn family was selected as the Putnam County Missouri Farm Family by University of Missouri Extension in Putnam County and the local Farm Bureau. The family includes Leslie and Joyce Hydorn, Shawn Hydorn, Tracy Meinecke, and Tiffany Trent.
Each year, the fair sets aside a day to recognize farm families from across the state that are active in their communities, involved in agriculture, and/or participate in local outreach and extension programs such as 4-H or FFA.
The Hydorn family operates a 180-acre cowcalf operation. Several
generations of their family have been active in 4-H and FFA, and continue to help out on the farm.
The annual event is sponsored by five partner agencies: the Missouri Farm Bureau; the Missouri Department of Agriculture; the Missouri State Fair Commissioners; the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; and MU Extension.
The event showcases
the impact that Missouri farm families have on the economy and heritage of the state, said Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe. “These families are involved in agriculture activities in their communities and are active participants in local outreach and extension. As the premier showcase for Missouri agriculture, the Missouri State Fair is most certainly the appropriate place to celebrate these families.”

In memory of Mary Oden and her many years of working with the county 4-H members, her family presented the 4-H’er of the Year Award for Putnam County to Delaney Hyle. Each club nominated their outstanding 4-H member and each nominee received an award made possible by the many donations in Mary Oden’s memory and honor. Hyle received a larger award and will have her name placed on a plaque that will be hung in the 4-H Building. The Oden family plans to present this award annually before the Junior Livestock Show. Pictured with Delaney are Annette Valentine and Mary’s children Jackie and Jeff.
