The Feeder Calf Sale sign that was located along Hwy. 5 at the Unionville City Park. Note it was billed as “The World’s Largest Co-op Feeder Calf Sale.”
In December, citizens will be asked to vote on their choice of a mural. The options, all significant to Putnam County History, are Putnam Fadeless Dyes, the Putnam County Fair and the Putnam County Feeder Calf Sale. This week and in the following weeks information about each will be provided here.
Feeder Calf Sale
In April of 1941, planning for the very first sale began. This would be the first sale of its kind in Missouri and the sale was held in October 1941 in the Community Sale Barn (now the Swine Barn at the City Park).
The calves were primarily Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn and 435 head sold. This was just
the start of something big. Out of state buyers from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Texas, Nebraska and other states were drawn to the sale, some flying in to make their significant purchases. The sale was a boon to local producers with sale totals reaching over $1 million as the venue grew. The sale, which ran 24/7 for several days required cooperation and many volunteers. In the 1960’s the biggest sales ran for nine days. In the early hours of the morning, the calves were weighed and sorted into lots of similar weights and breeds. This cooperative sale truly helped put Putnam County on the map as a producer of quality beef.

Ashcroft Vows to Maintain Election Integrity in Missouri
Jefferson City, Mo. — Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft returned yesterday from a two-day election security summit in Omaha, NE, put on by the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology and Education Center (NCITE) headquartered at the University of Nebraska.
Ashcroft and four other secretaries of state, Nebraska’s Bob Evnen, Iowa’s Paul Pate, Kansas’ Scott Schwab, and South Dakota’s Monae Johnson, met together to discuss election and cybersecurity issues in preparation for the upcoming November election.
grain bread products, hot or cold cereals, 100% fruit juices, and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. The WIC program recommends breastfeeding and provides breastfeeding support, baby foods, and infant cereal. For women who cannot or choose not to breastfeed, infants may receive supplemental, iron-fortified formula. WIC participants obtain their foods using their eWIC cards for specific items at participating local grocery stores and pharmacies.
Studies confirm that pregnant women who enroll in WIC during the early months of pregnancy have fewer low birth weight babies, experience fewer infant deaths, see the doctor earlier in pregnancy and eat healthier.
WIC is administered in Putnam County by the Putnam County Health Department. Persons interested in applying or who need more information should contact the Putnam County Health Department at 660-9474100. WIC clinics are offered at the following location(s):

Council Receives Project Updates
The regularly scheduled meeting of the Unionville City Council was called to order by Mayor Charley Bill Pittman at 5:30 PM on Friday, October 4, with aldermen Gary Davis, Kellie Purdy and Jason Hill in attendance. Alderman Eric Lutz was absent.
Tom Keedy addressed the council thanking them for all attending the community planning meeting and sharing community needs surveys to those who hadn’t yet filled them out. Copies of the survey will be left at City Hall for any citizen who would like to share their input. Keedy stressed the need for more surveys to be completed before the next town hall on November 12.
Keedy updated the council on the renovation plans for the buildings on the west side of the square. After securing funding, the first phase is addressing the roofs. He
then fielded questions from Purdy, who had a list of concerns voiced by her constituents. Asked what would happen to funds if the Historic Square non-profit folded, Keedy replied that the funds would be required to transfer to another 501c3 non-profit. In regards to economic development, when completed the buildings will provide retail spaces. Keedy pointed out that he receives requests about spaces available for new businesses. Bruce Mestad interjected with an example of an investment that paid back after a property was renovated and put to retail use.
Mayor Pittman called time on the discussion.
Purdy motioned to approve the Consent Agenda. Hill seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
Staff reports were reviewed. T. J. Payne, Water/Wastewater Department, reported that
he had met with contractors and gave an update on recent work.
Mayor Pittman reported that they were about to the end of the McCalment project, with painting done and it just needs cleaning.
Pittman has spoken with Ron Reagan regarding gas and the storage is almost full with gas purchased at $2.20. Reagan thinks the remainder will be under $2.00.
In Old Business, the Engineer Report on 1702 Main and the Demolition at 1700 Main were tabled until all aldermen are in attendance.
City Treasurer Amy Homann requested permission to get bid for cameras for all three entrances at City Hall. There were no objections.
In New Business, Homann reported receiving a health insurance rebate
“We run elections for the people of the states; we run elections for our government because it is how ‘we the people’ decide that our Republic will move forward,” Ashcroft said. “No matter who wins or loses, or which issues pass or fail, at the end of the day, the American people can rest assured knowing that they were a part of the decision process and that their votes counted and that the votes made a difference.”
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) presented information to the secretaries as several states, including Missouri, have received threats and “suspicious packages” of recent. The federal agency provides election officials with security assessments and scenarios to help prepare for a variety of possibilities that could including ransomware, physical threatsincluding de-escalation and anti-active shooter incidents, and threats from foreign adversaries (such as Russia, Iran and China).
“It was good to come together in person; to share ideas,” Ashcroft said. “It is our job as the chief election official in our respective states to make sure elections are safe, secure and accurate for everyone participating in the process.”
Missouri has 116 local election authorities who work to make sure elections run smoothly across the state. Election information, as well as ballot issues, can be found at GoVoteMissouri.com.

James Pittman
James Dudley Pittman, 84, died on September 27, 2024, at Brio of Johnston. Jim is finally at peace after a nineyear battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
Jim Pittman was born on May 9, 1940, to Charley & Willie Pittman. He grew up in Unionville, Missouri and graduated from Unionville High School in 1958. Jim worked in the family trucking business driving his own semi-truck nationwide until he went to college in 1960. He continued to drive his truck on weekends and summers throughout his college years. He attended Northeast Missouri State in Kirksville, Missouri and graduated in 1964 with a B.S. degree in accounting. While in college, he met the love of his life, Karen Burns. They were married in Corydon, IA on May 24, 1964, and just celebrated 60 years of marriage.
Jim was a spiritual man discovering his faith as a child and becoming a baptized member of the Unionville Christian Church. After he and Karen were married and moved to Des Moines, they belonged to Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Urbandale. Jim enjoyed leading an adult Sunday School class for over 20 years where he and Karen
made life-long friends.
Jim began his professional career at Peat Marwick Mitchell & Co, working in their Des Moines office for 14 years until 1978. Following that tenure, he was a partner in two different local firms until he founded Pittman & Company, LLP in 1984. Jim concluded 50 years in the CPA profession when he retired from practice in 2014.
In 1999, Jim became an avid classic car enthusiast after purchasing a rare edition 1956 Cadillac. He established the Iowa CrossRoads region of the Cadillac & Lasalle Club (CLC) and served as the Director for 15 years from 1999 to 2014. In 2005, Jim chaired the effort to have the Iowa CrossRoads region host the CLC Grand National convention. This event brought over 500 attendees to Des Moines and featured over 300 classic Cadillac & LaSalle automobiles. Jim served several years on the national Board of Directors of both the national Cadillac & LaSalle Club and the CLC Museum & Research Center. His hard work and dedication have had a tremendous impact on raising funds, awareness, and appreciation for Cadillac & LaSalle automobiles worldwide.
Throughout the years, Jim held memberships in a number of professional and civic organizations including: American Institute of CPAs, Iowa Society of CPAs, Iowa Accounting & Finance Council, Northwest Des Moines Rotary, Urbandale Chamber of Commerce, Unionville Ma-

Jim and Karen enjoyed get-togethers with friends and colleagues, often having a set dinner date and time every month. More over, every Tuesday since 1995, was set-aside for John to meet them for lunch at Palmer’s Deli. Everyone at Palmer’s knew his standing order was “The Dude” sandwich and usually a “Neiman Marcus” cookie for dessert. It was a quick lunch but more so a chance to spend quality time together as a family on a weekly basis. In retirement though, his longest-standing group was his morning coffee club where each day they solved most of the world’s problems.
Jim’s most favorite pastime, however, was spending time with his grandson, Nick. “Papa” attended most every sporting event of Nick’s from basketball, baseball, and of course, golf tournaments. Nick spent many weekend nights with his grandparents when Papa would teach him many life lessons. They would have cutthroat miniature golf duals, rousing pool games, and an organ lesson here and there. Papa also taught Nick some of the finer things in life like driving his Cadillac (at a very young age!) and dunking Oreos in a cold glass of milk. Before Jim was Papa, he was Dad. He loved his only son, teaching, and mentoring John to be like him—an accomplished CPA, a loving and attentive husband, and a doting dad. Papa/Dad/Jim fulfilled life’s greatest treasure in giving and receiving love and his legacy continues in the family he leaves behind.
Jim is survived by his
loving wife, Karen. His son, John Pittman (Amy) and grandson Nicholas Pittman (fiancée Courtney Schenkelberg). He is also survived by his brother C.B. Pittman, his sister-in-law Betty Empey, nieces Dr. Dawn Anne Fairley and Dayna Christopher, and nephew Patrick Pittman. Jim was preceded in death by his parents, mother-in-law Maxine Burns, brothers/ sisters-in-law Robert Burns, Alice Pittman, Jerry and Phyllis Burns. Visitation was held from 4-6 pm on Friday, October 4th, at Westover Funeral Home. Funeral services were held at 11:00 am on Saturday, October 5th, at Westover Funeral Home with Rev. Tom Boomershine officiating. A lunch reception was held immediately afterwards at the funeral home. Burial will be later that afternoon at McDivitt Grove Cemetery in Urbandale.
In honor of Jim’s memory, contributions may be made to the following: The Shriner’s Children’s Hospital and the Alzheimer’s Association.

I Have More to Say
Jesus was speaking to His disciples, “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.” (John 16:12) The disciples’ understanding of Jesus’ ministry was severely limited. Apparently, they assumed Jesus’ Kingdom would be here on earth. Previously, two of His disciples had asked to sit on His right and left in the kingdom.
Even if the disciples’ expectations had been true, a kingdom over their known world would have been enormously inadequate. Jesus instructed the disciples for years; yet, they had not “gotten it.” Even worse, the disciples assumed they knew the plan of God but did not.
Recognizing the disciples’ lack of understanding, Jesus said, “There is more than you can understand now.” It often takes us some time to ascertain and accept truth. For example, you probably did not accept
City Council ...
Jesus the first time you heard the gospel. Then, as time passed, the truth sank in. For most of us, that pattern continues through all our lives. Truth, especially painful new truth, is hard to embrace.
This morning, as I read these words of Jesus for the umpteenth time, I heard them personally. “I have more to say to you.” I have been a Christian for many years. Often, I think I know God’s will only to later learn my understanding is inadequate and sometimes completely wrong.
A mother was scolding her unruly child. The child obviously thought he had heard enough. But the wise mother continued, “Don’t run off; I am not through.” If you have been a child of God for a long time, it will be easy to assume you “know enough.” To you God is saying, “Don’t run off; I’m not through with you.”

of $4338.14. She added that last year the rebate was applied to employees, not dependents. Hill motioned to apply to rebate to employees.
Purdy seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
The Fire Department Assistant Chief was the next order of business. The current assistant chief is stepping down. Purdy motioned to appoint Jordan Hendee as Assistant Fire Chief. Hill seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
Homann reported that she had submitted the guidelines for junior firefighters to MIRMA. They recommended a couple of changes and approved. Hill motioned to start recruiting junior fire fighters. Purdy seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
Gas Availability was
the next item on the agenda. Davis motioned for a $15 availability charge and a nickel raise on usage. The motion died for lack of a second. Following discussion, Hill motioned for a $20 availability charge. Purdy seconded the motion, which passed, 3-0.
City Clerk Lynette Caley read Resolution 10-03-24. Davis motioned to approve. Hill seconded the motion, which passed 2-0, with Purdy abstaining. A pay request for $2,000 was received from the company doing lead line assessments.
Purdy motioned to approve. Davis seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
At 6:02 PM, Purdy motioned to adjourn. Hill seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.

Judging by the number of tractors, combines and grain trucks encountered on the road, harvest season has been in full swing. As you travel be aware and watch for slower moving traffic. The farmers are working hard to get their crops in and to market and deserve all the breaks they can get. Farming is already a dangerous occupation, so a little courtesy, cooperation and awareness will go a long way in protecting them as they have to traverse from field to farm or market.
The PC Historical Society hosted Enfys McMurry Saturday. Though the crowd wasn’t as large as anticipated, it was thoroughly engaged in her presentation regarding the crash of Flight 11 in Putnam County, asking questions and sharing their own memories.
This Saturday, October 19, the museum is hosting Randy Webber, who will present a program on Jesse James. The event, “Soups and
Saddles,” will include a free will donation soup supper from 5:00 -6:00 PM, with Webber’s presentation following. Doors open at 4:30. Please plan to attend and learn more about this infamous Missourian. This, like McMurry’s presentation, is being repeated at the request of the public who missed the first presentation and some of those that were present for the first.
Currently, I am about 80% through a book, Days on the Road: Crossing the Plains in 1865,recommended at the Genealogy Society meeting Saturday. It is the diary written by a young girl, who with her widowed mother and brothers set out from northeastern Missouri just after the end of the Civil War in April of 1865. One interesting fact mentioned is that former Confederate prisoners are serving in the US Army in the West as “Indian fighters.” It is not made clear whether this was part of their
Birthdays
being repatriated or not, but she mentions how homesick all of the ones she talked to were. Personally, I had to keep reminding myself of the era the journal was writ-
ten in when her disparaging comments about Native Americans were made, but so far it has been a decent read. Have a great week!

Autumn In The Air
“Autumn is the second spring when every leaf is a flower” Fall is just around the corner and it is becoming ever more present as the highways are filled with tractors, combines and big trucks. Some people get upset with ‘traffic congestion’ when they have to wait on combines, etc. I just see it as they doing their job. With the potential of combines just over the hill or around the corner (don’t forget the deer!)and the threat of impatient drivers, we encourage you to be safe, just slow down and enjoy the trees changing color.

MO SUNSHINE LAW
III I will continue this topic this week since I believe it is a critical issue for all citizens in Missouri and elsewhere. The Missouri Sunshine Law has specific rules as to how the public can access records which is my discussion today.
Records of public meetings are available to the public with the exception that closed meeting notes done legally under the Sunshine Law are not. Every public board (city council, SWCD board, extension council, etc.) is required to appoint someone to be the custodian of their records. I have always suggested each board have a written Sunshine Law policy that includes who that custodian is, how the public can access records, if records can be looked over at the board’s office, etc. but some boards still do not have that today. Public record requests need to go to that custodian of records and must be responded to within 72 hours (not including weekends or holidays). Those requests must be in writing or emails (phone calls have no record) and sent to the custodian of the records. There is an approved form on the website. If the number of records requested is above the amount that can be copied in 72 hours, the custodian must provide a timeline and the amount needed to cover said request.
Keeping these records is also a required task of the board. Missouri has a record retention board that meets each year (normally in September) and updates how long records are required to be kept. The website to find these rules are at Records Retention and Disposition Schedules
(mo.gov). Some examples are: employment records must be kept 20 years or at least 1 year after termination of employment; contracts with financial obligations 10 years (I know a couple of boards that should read and follow that); public meeting notices 2 years; and minutes of meetings must be kept for the life of the board. Personal experience tells me you cannot come up with what you do not have but any minutes you have must not be destroyed. A township in one of my counties had to go to court to stop the sale of minutes by a former board member’s estate. So, make sure if you are on a board that records are kept according to the above law and website. You can contact me for a specific question at (660) 626-6923.

Our family would like to extend a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who offered us kindness in the past two weeks after the loss of Dick.
There was such an outpouring of kindness from so many in this community who offered food, gifts, flowers, words of comfort, shoulders to cry on, and so many other things that we were so blessed to live in such an amazing community.
Words cannot express how each word and kindness is helping us navigate this loss. God bless you all.

Midgets Spoil Homecoming Game
Putnam County Football traveled to face former Tri-Rivers Conference foe Scotland County Tigers.
It was Homecoming in Memphis and the Tiger crowd was on hand, but the Midget fans weren’t outdone with a huge following from Unionville.
The Midgets received the opening kickoff and started their drive at the 40 yard line.
A minute and a half later a Tiger defender intercepted the ball and ran it back for a touchdown. The kick after was good and the Midgets trailed 0-7.
Nine minutes later quarterback Gideon Jones would connect with Treven Riediger for the touchdown. Nick Roberts would take the ball in for the twopoint conversion and the Midgets took the lead 8-7.
Going into the second quarter Scotland County had the ball. They were able to move the ball five yards before punting on fourth-and-five to go.
Starting on their 23 yard line, the Midgets moved the ball with ease.
A pass to Riediger got them a first down at the
35 and a carry by Corbin Campbell-Johnson took them to mid-field at the 48. Riediger got them to the 33 yard line before Roberts carried to the 22 yard line to convert a second and 13. Jones carried the ball to the five and Campbell-Johnson punched the ball in for the touchdown at the 8:04 mark. The twopoint conversion was no good and the Midgets led 14-7.
On their next possession the Tigers had negative yards due to penalties and on second-and-30 yards to go Scotland County went to the air and Diego Lopez intercepted the ball for the Midgets.
Putnam County couldn’t capitalize on their good fortune and was forced to punt on fourth-and-seven.
Scotland County would field the ball and return it to the 22 yard line.
With just under a minute the Tigers would reach the five yard line off a 22 yard pass. With 0:54 on the clock Scotland County would score and make the successful kick to tie the score at 14-14.
Cougars Hand Midgets Loss
On October 7, the Lady Midgets and the Highland Lady Cougars faced off at Truman. Both teams were scoreless in the first inning.

They added an additional run in the third inning, before sealing the 11-0 win in the fifth. The Cougars’ 11

At the end of the third quarter Putnam County was on the move at the 33 yard line.
