Scott Sharp of the Missouri Department of Economic Development spoke to Rotarians about the upcoming Town Hall meeting to be held August 20 at 6 p.m. in the Bixler 108. Anyone interested in seeing improvements to our community are encouraged to attend. Along with Scott, members of the Green Hills Region-
al Planning Commission based in Trenton will facilitate the gathering of ideas and formulation of goals for our community. Scott is a 2003 graduate of Trenton R-9 High School and a firm believer in small towns. He told Rotarians he is available to “connect the dots” between local entities and resources at the state and federal levels.
Where do You Want Putnam County to be in 2045?
Submitted by Joe Koenen
I know that may seem like a long time from now but 2045 is only 21 years away. An important meeting to discuss that future and planning for it will be held on Tuesday, August 20 at the Bixler Building on the west side of the Unionville square beginning at 6:00 pm. All persons, young and old, interested in what the future could be need to attend this meeting.
Scott Sharp, Project Manager with the Department of Economic Development and liaison for North Missouri, will be attending to help with questions and support.
The loss of businesses and shape of infrastructure are just two of the reasons it is a critical time to look at our future here. Scott will discuss grants and other pro-
grams that our community can look at to help look at the future and rebuilding our community. A big part of that for most programs is to have a long-range plan which we have not undertaken in many years. This meeting will begin to look at that plan and how to implement it. While there are some projects such as the murals in place, the community as a whole need to set priorities and timelines. Please attend this meeting and have your thoughts heard. If you cannot attend, you can give suggestions or thoughts to Joe Koenen at koenenjoe@outlook. com or Dana DeVore at (660) 216-0707 or Tom Keedy at (660) 626-7803. We would especially like our young people to come and contribute but all are welcome.
Demolition of Two More Buildings Underway on Unionville Square
Red Rock Demolition began the process of taking down two dangerous buildings in the 1600 block of Main Street on Monday, August 5. This picture taken Wednesday morning shows the progress as they work carefully from the back toward the front of the buildings.
Following the collapse of the back walls of the buildings and windows falling from the frontage, the two buildings were deemed a hazard to public safety by the City of Unionville and the process leading to their demolition was begun.

TheShepherd’sCall by Dr. H. Wade Paris
Forgiven
The Ozark countryside was beautiful. I sat in a restaurant and took it all in through a large picture window. Mountains, trees, autumn leaves---it was lovely. But it was marred by empty beverage cans, paper wrappers, wrecked cars, and other man-made ugliness. Some had been there so long it seemed almost part of the countryside: an old car so overgrown by weeds and vines I had to look twice to tell what it was, cans and paper cups that had laid beside the road until they were dirt-covered and could pass for Ozark rocks, and a dilapidated piece of farm equipment left out in the open was so rusty it blended with the autumn colors. Pitted against the Ozark Mountain scene, the litter was a cancer on the land.
Something like that must be what God sees
when He looks at us. He sees us beautiful like He made us, but there are spots of ugliness. Sin blotches our lives--some sin as new as today and some so old it seems a real part of us.
I closed my eyes and pictured the Ozark countryside. I took out the rusty farm machinery, the old car, and the trash. I pictured only autumn leaves---red, yellow, green, brown---under a clear, blue sky with squirrels hunting nuts in waving grass. In the distance, I imagined I could hear and smell the Current River flowing crystal clear. It was beautiful. Then, I thought, “Hey, that’s how God sees us when we accept Jesus. He sees us through the forgiveness of the cross. He sees us as though there were no sin.”
Thank you, God.

Area Students Named to NCMC Summer Honors Lists
North Central Missouri College has named students with outstanding academic achievements to the Academic Honors Lists for the 2024 summer semester. Students named to the President’s List have earned at least six credit hours and achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average (GPA), and students on the Dean’s List have
earned at least six credit hours and achieved a grade point average of at least 3.50.
From the pictures in last week’s and this week’s editions, it’s obvious that a lot of time was spent at the 85th annual Lucerne Livestock Show. I am happy to report that the offerings from the cook shack was definitely worth the trip. There are some very cook dessert chefs in the west end of the county and the hand breaded tenderloin was exceptional!
Lucerne for many years. A program of considerable promise is being planned.
Show is a good preview of quality livestock that will be shown at the Putnam County Fair, which is less than a month away. Don’t forget to purchase your season tickets before the price goes up.
Due to lack of volunteers, the Historical Society and Genealogical Society will not have a booth at the fair. However, anyone interested in purchasing books or commemorative papers may do so at the Museum on Wednesday or Saturday mornings, starting at 9 AM and during the Courthouse Centennial Celebration.
Last month the mu-
seum had their 501c3 status reinstated, which makes donations tax deductible.
After the fair, the Historical Society will have Enfys McMurry do a presentation on her Flight 11 book. No definite date has been set yet, but a Saturday in September is planned.
On October 12, a program on Jesse James will be held in conjunction with a soup supper. (Soup and Saddles?)
More information about both the above events will be announced in the paper as the dates draw nearer.
Have a great week!

I ran across the following in the July 24, 1940, edition of The Unionville Republican describing the plans for the very first event at Lucerne.
LUCERNE STOCK SHOW
Community Preparing for Its First Stock Show and Homecoming Committees are busily engaged in working out the details of the first stock show and homecoming to be held in
The dates set for the show are on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 29, 30 and 31. Already a contract has been made with a carnival company to furnish the amusements and rides, and this is considered above the average. Included in the program there will be featured a 4-H calf show with around 25 calves entered. Another feature will be a horse show and there will be plenty of other similar things. The program and details will be announced later, and already much interest is being expressed in this proposed show which is expected to attract many former residents, who will plan to meet their old friends there.

Did You Know?
Did you know the four lamp posts that have been placed on the Rotary pocket park were originally placed on the courthouse lawn in September, 1924? These four 100-year-old lamp posts have been gathering dust in the basement of the museum for a number of years. Tom Keedy hauled them to RAW Metal Works in Centerville where they were sandblasted and powder coated. After reviewing old photos that included the lamp posts, new globes were purchased to match the original ones. Electricity has been run to the lamp posts, which received new wiring also. The lamp posts will help illuminate the two murals on the park.
Many community meetings have been held in the “Old Soldiers Room” on the first floor of the courthouse. 100 years ago, the room was called the “Memorial Room.” In 1927, the American Legion commissioned a bronze tablet to recognize the World War I veterans of Putnam County. The tablet is on the west wall of the Old Soldiers Room and states “In Honor and Memory of the Citizens of Putnam County Who Served in the World War.” Individual names are listed on the tablet under the “Roll of Honor” heading.
In the 1940s a billboard-type memorial was erected on the courthouse lawn to recognize citizens who served in World War II. The names were organized by branches of the military. Unfortunately, the memorial has not survived and is no longer on the lawn; however there is a picture of it in the Old Soldiers Room.
Veterans Memorial on the northwest corner of the courthouse lawn.
Over $13,500 was raised for the attractive granite memorial honoring veterans in all branches of the military. Fred Torrey oversaw the construction of the memorial which includes two benches, a stone displaying military emblems and two large dark granite stones. The Putnam County Commission voted to pay for the flag pole and a dedication ceremony was held on July 3. Ruth Whitacre served as the emcee, and the memorial was unveiled by J. Deeds, Don Partin, and Jim Trimble. Speakers at the event were James Hart, Jeanette Ream, Senator Steve Danner and Ed Hudson.
The northeast corner
of the courthouse lawn contains another type of memorial. Flight 11, the first commercial airliner to be destroyed by a terrorist act, blew up May 22, 1962, over southeast Iowa and fell in Putnam County near what is now Lake Thunderhead.
Duane Crawford, who did thorough research of the tragic event and contacted relatives of the people who perished, worked to establish the meaningful memorial. The dedication of the memorial was held May 22, 2010, and was well attended by several relatives of the passengers, including the nephew of the airline pilot.

Kids Who Struggle With Eating as the New School Year Begins
ASHA Shares Tips With Families to Help Ease the Transition
(Rockville, Md. – August 8, 2024) For some children heading back to school this fall, their biggest challenge may not be reading or math but, rather, something else that’s critical to their academic success: eating meals at school.
Children can experience all types of difficulties with eating, from limited diets (“picky eating”) to feeding and swallowing disorders, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Feeding challenges may occur due to a medical problem or in conjunction with other developmental differences or disorders. Regardless of the reason, all children need appropriate nutrition and hydration to learn and participate in the school day.
Cafeteria Struggles
The cafeteria can present numerous challenges for children who have difficulty eating. These include:
• Overwhelming sensory environment. The cafeteria can be loud, crowded, and hot. The sights and smells may bother some kids. The tables may be sticky, and the cafeteria benches may be uncomfortable. None of these factors makes eating easy or fun. Some students may require a distraction-free environment to safely eat.
• Time constraints. Students often have a small amount of time to eat—usually, much shorter than they are used to having at home. Students receiving feeding and/or swallowing treatment may need more time to eat. This accommodation may be included in a child’s individualized education program (IEP).
• School-based food restrictions. Some schools have rules about foods that children can or cannot bring, such as no peanut products. For kids who have limited diets, it’s not always easy to find alternatives to a preferred food. Also, some children may not have options if they are provided free or reduced-price meals at school. If a student has a documented feeding or swallowing disorder and requires a modified diet, then the school district’s food services program must offer the meal accommodations recommended in the student’s feeding and swallowing plan.
Twelve Tips for Success ASHA offers these tips to parents and caregivers to help their child eat successfully in the school setting:
• Make their lunch gear fun. Let kids pick out a lunchbox with their favorite character or theme, or a Thermos® or bento box of their choice. Alternatively, have them decorate or personalize a basic lunchbox or other items that they already
have.
• Help them prepare. Have kids practice eating in the time they’ll be given at school. Try this for a few days before school starts. If you’re sending in containers or prepackaged food or drinks, make sure that they can open them first before packing such items in their lunchbox.
• Go grocery shopping together. Look for new items that they may want to bring—or meal ideas to try. Be sure to try them at home first.
• Brainstorm ideas. Write out a menu of options that are reasonable for you to prepare. Make sure that these foods can also be eaten at school easily (e.g., foods that don’t need to be cut up or kept at a very specific temperature). Have them choose their lunch from that menu each day.
• Let them pack their meal. Kids love to take ownership and show some independence. They’ll be much more likely to eat what they choose to pack. If you don’t feel comfortable giving them total control, offer choices—let them pick one “main course,” one “side dish,” and one “dessert” out of items that you have pre-selected. Do this the night before, so you aren’t stressed or in a rush the next morning.
• Troubleshoot together. Ask your child what makes eating in the cafeteria difficult. For example, maybe they don’t have enough time to eat when they buy lunch. Talk it through with them and see if you can solve the issue together.
• Send foods that your child is comfort-
able eating. You may desperately want to expand your child’s diet, but you also want to maximize the likelihood that they’ll eat at school so they’re nourished properly during the day. Save the experimentation for home.
• Aim for foods that will keep them full, but don’t stress over perfect meals. Ideal foods are ones that are protein-rich and/or high in fiber because they’ll keep kids full for longer. But remember, the best foods are the ones that your child will actually eat.
• Don’t obsess over what they didn’t eat. It’s frustrating when you spend time carefully packing a lunch—only to notice that it comes home lukewarm and untouched. Ask your child why they didn’t eat their meal: Did they not like it? Or did they just not have time to eat it? Try not to scold them about the uneaten food.
• Arrange for your child to have a lunch buddy. Eating with a friend is always more fun. A lunch buddy can be a support—and even a role model—for trying new foods. Talk to the school staff about finding a willing peer for this role.
• Talk to the cafeteria manager or other school staff. If your child is provided meals
at school and isn’t eating what is served, check with the school about alternative options. If a child is regularly not eating the food provided, then this lack of needed nutrition likely will impact their learning and/or behavior.
• Help your child to advocate for themselves. If your child has an IEP with feeding and swallowing goals and accommodations, help them understand what their goals are and what they can safely eat.
Getting Help for Feeding Problems
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help children who have difficulties with their feeding and swallowing. Feeding and swallowing disorders can lead to health, learning, and social problems, so it’s important not to minimize these challenges. SLPs can help children try new foods or textures, can help parents feel more confident feeding their child, and can provide feeding therapy (e.g., using certain exercises to strengthen the muscles in their mouth, moving their tongue around more while eating or drinking).
Children with a diagnosed feeding or swallowing disorder may need additional support eating in school, including modified food and drink consistencies.
These students should have an IEP or 504 plan to guide school-based treatment and accommodations. They also may have a swallowing and feeding program (which is typically designed by an SLP) and/or an individual health plan (which is typically designed by a school nurse).
If you have concerns about your child’s eating, talk to your pediatrician and seek an evaluation from the school-based SLP or from a private SLP who specializes in feeding and swallowing. You can find one at www.asha.org/profind.

USDA Updates Farm Loan Programs to Increase Financial Freedom, Resilience and Profitability for Agricultural Producers
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2024 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announces changes to the Farm Service Agency’s (FSA) Farm Loan Programs, effective Sept. 25, 2024 — changes that are intended to increase opportunities for farmers and ranchers to be financially viable. These improvements, part of the Enhancing Program Access and Delivery for Farm Loans rule, demonstrate USDA’s commitment to improving farm profitability through farm loans designed to provide important financing options used by producers to cover operating expenses and purchase land and equipment.
“USDA recognizes that Farm Service Agency’s loan making and servicing activities are critical for producers, especially in tough times. Providing borrowers the financial freedom to increase profits, save for long-term needs and make strategic investments is the best way to ensure the nation’s farmers and ranchers can build financial equity and resilience,” said Zach Ducheneaux, FSA Administrator. “Implementing these improvements to our Farm Loan Programs is the next step
in our ongoing commitment to removing lending barriers that may prevent access to credit for borrowers, especially those who need it most.”
Farm loan policy changes outlined in the Enhancing Program Access and Delivery for Farm Loans rule, are designed to better assist borrowers to make strategic investments in the enhancement or expansion of their agricultural operations.
The three most notable policy changes include:
Establishing a new low-interest installment set-aside program for financially distressed borrowers. Eligible financially distressed borrowers can defer up to one annual loan installment per qualified loan at a reduced interest rate, providing a simpler and expedited option to resolve financial distress in addition to FSA’s existing loan servicing programs.
Providing all eligible loan applicants access to flexible repayment terms that can increase profitability and help build working capital reserves and savings. By creating upfront positive cash flow, borrowers can find opportunities in their farm operating plan budgets to include a reasonable margin for
increased working capital reserves and savings, including for retirement and education.
Reducing additional loan security requirements to enable borrowers to leverage equity. This reduces the amount of additional security required for direct farm loans, including reducing the frequency borrowers must use their personal residence as additional collateral for a farm loan.
Additional Farm Loan Program Improvements
Under the Biden-Harris Administration, USDA’s FSA has embarked on a comprehensive and systemic effort to ensure equitable delivery of Farm Loan Programs and improve access to credit for small and midsize family farms. FSA has also included additional data in its annual report to Congress to provide information that Congress, stakeholders, and the general public need to hold USDA accountable on the progress that has been made in improving services to underserved producers. This year’s report shows FSA direct and guaranteed loans were made to a greater percentage of young and beginning farmers and ranchers, as well as improvements in the participation rates of minority borrowers.
The report also highlights FSA’s microloan program’s new focus on urban agriculture operations and niche market lending, as well as increased support for producers seeking direct loans for farm ownership in the face of increasing land values across the country.
FSA has a significant initiative underway to streamline and automate the Farm Loan Program customer-facing business process. For the over 26,000 producers who submit a direct loan application annually, FSA has made several impactful improvements including:
The Loan Assistance Tool that provides customers with an interactive online, step-by-step guide to identifying the direct loan products that may be a fit for their business needs and to understanding the application process.
The Online Loan Application, an interactive, guided application that is paperless and provides helpful features including an electronic signature option, the ability to attach supporting documents such as tax returns, complete a balance sheet, and build a farm operating plan.
An online direct loan repayment feature that relieves borrowers from the necessity of calling, mailing, or visiting a local USDA Service Center to pay a loan installment.
A simplified direct loan paper application, reduced from 29 pages to 13 pages.
USDA encourages producers to reach out to their local FSA farm loan staff to ensure they fully understand the wide range of loan and servicing options available to assist with starting, expanding, or maintaining their agricultural operation. To conduct business with FSA, please contact your local USDA Service Center.
FSA helps America’s farmers, ranchers and forest landowners invest in, improve, protect and expand their agricultural operations through the delivery of agricultural programs for all Americans. FSA implements agricultural policy, administers credit and loan programs, and manages conservation, commodity, disaster recovery and marketing programs through a national network of state and county offices and locally elected county committees.

Motorists
Always be vigilant, but especially near school zones, playgrounds, bicycle paths, and crosswalks when schools are in session. Expect pedestrian and bicycle traffic to in-
crease near schools on days when the weather is good. When schools are in session, drivers should expect a change in traffic patterns ─ school buses, parents taking their children to school, and many young drivers will join other motorists on the road and affect the morning and afternoon commute. Whatever route you drive, expect this additional traffic and prepare by allowing extra time to reach your destination.
Missouri law states that on a two-lane road, if a school bus is stopped and displaying warning signals while loading or unloading children, drivers must stop when meeting and following the bus. However, it is only necessary to stop on a four-lane highway when following the bus. Drivers, when you see a stopped school bus, stay alert and follow the law. Children may not be aware of traffic and dart unexpectedly into the roadway. Remember: Put your cell phone down. Missouri is now a hands-free state.

Expands Access to Housing for Veterans
WASHINGTON –
August 8, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a new set of policy changes that will help more veterans receive assistance under the HUD-Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program, and improve their access to supportive housing developments. Veterans experiencing homelessness often receive VA benefits as a result of an injury or illness that was acquired or worsened during military service. Before this change, these benefits were considered income when determin-
ing eligibility for certain supportive housing developments—causing some veterans to exceed the income threshold for these programs. HUD’s policy changes will help more homeless veterans with service-connected disability benefits gain access to these housing developments. Additionally, HUD today awarded $20 million to public housing agencies to continue to improve the HUD-VASH program.
“No veteran should ever have to experience homelessness, but when they do, they should not face barriers to getting help they deserve,” said HUD Acting Secre-
tary Adrianne Todman. “This policy change will ensure that veterans who are receiving the disability benefits they earned through service and sacrifice can access the housing assistance and supportive services they need to resolve their homelessness.”
The HUD-VASH Program is a vital resource to house veterans experiencing homelessness. HUD-VASH pairs rental assistance through housing vouchers targeted to veterans experiencing homelessness from HUD with case management and other supportive services provided by VA. VA homeless program staff at local VA medical centers identify veterans experiencing homelessness and refer them to public housing agencies who issue vouchers to eligible veteran and their families. VA staff provide case management and other “wrap-around” supportive services to assist the veteran household to find and enter rental housing, retain housing, and connect to health care, employment, and other supports.
“The days of a Veteran having to choose between getting the VA benefits they deserve and the housing support they need are finally over,” said VA Secretary Denis McDonough. “This is a critical step forward that will help Veterans nationwide – and bring us
one step closer to our ultimate goal of putting an end to Veteran homelessness for good.”
HUD is expanding access to HUD-VASH for veterans by:
Requiring public housing agencies (PHAs) that administer HUD-VASH to set the initial income eligibility for veterans at 80% of Area Median Income, rather than 50% of Area Median Income. The use of this higher initial income eligibility threshold is currently optional and many housing agencies have already adopted the higher threshold, but HUD is now making this increase mandatory.
Adopting an alternative definition of annual income for applicants and participants of the HUD-VASH program that excludes veterans’ service-connected disability benefits when determining eligibility. This alternative annual income definition could be adopted by other housing subsidy programs to determine income eligibility.
HUD has been working with the U.S. Department of the Treasury to determine the effect of the alternative income definition for HUDVASH participants seeking housing subsidized by Low Income Housing Credits. Treasury expects to issue guidance on this issue in the near term. HUD will also encourage state and local governments to make corresponding changes in their subsidy programs to ensure that all veterans experiencing homelessness have access to supportive housing.
“Every veteran deserves a roof over their head, and the Biden-Har-
ris Administration is doing everything we possibly can to end veteran homelessness,” said White House Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden. Today’s actions reflect President Biden and Vice President Harris’s commitment to breaking down barriers to housing so that every veteran gets the benefits they have earned.”
The revised HUDVASH operating requirements also include
additional policy changes that will improve the administration of the HUD-VASH program. This will allow PHAs the authority to: Make non-competitive awards of project-based HUD-VASH contracts to housing projects or units on VA facilities that serve HUD-VASH families; Approve Exception

Jefferson City, Mo. — Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, in his capacity as the chief election authority for Missouri, gave praise to those individuals working in over 2,200 polling locations across the state.
“I want to start by thanking our local election authorities and the thousands of poll workers who showed up and made it possible for the people of Missouri to vote,” Ashcroft said. “And I want to thank those who made their voices heard.”
Of the roughly 4.3 million registered Missouri voters, totals show only about 25% cast a ballot. Unofficial 2024 primary election results can be viewed at enr.sos. mo.gov. The secretary of
state’s office will certify results not later than August 27.
“Elections are the bedrock of our republic and Missouri continues to be a national leader in election integrity. We have safe, accurate, accessible elections with timely results. That’s not something every state can boast,” said Ashcroft. “Voting is not only a right, but also a responsibility and I’m proud of the accomplishments we have made to secure Missouri elections; like requiring a photo ID.”
The deadline to register for the November 2024 general election is October 9. Contact your local election authority or visit GoVoteMissouri. com.
Amy’s Prayer Letter by Amy Brundage
August 5, 2024
Dear Friends in Christ,
Thank you for your prayers for my time in the U.S. and for my trip back to Peru. I arrived back to Lima safely! While in the States, I was able to visit 14 churches, spend time with family and friends, and attend two family weddings. I was able to reconnect with people and make new connections as well. God blessed so much!
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:3-6
God’s overwhelming grace was demonstrated to me through so many of you. Thank you for your kindness and love, encouraging me through word and deed and providing for me practically and cheerfully. Your labor of love is seen by God, and I know He can multiply what we give to Him. As we partner together for the advance-
ment of the Gospel, I pray that our lives would be fruitful through Jesus to the glory and praise of God. (Philippians 1:11) I would like to request prayer for our church’s missions trip to Satipo, Peru. A group of about 20 people will leave this evening, Monday, August 5th and return Sunday, August 11th. We will be in the districts of Mazamari and Pangoa, which are located in the high jungles of Peru, on the fringe of the Andes mountains. The people there belong to the Namatsiguenga ethnic group. Although they speak some Spanish, their first language is not Spanish (what most Peruvians speak). They have the New Testament in their native tongue, and a Bible translation team is working on the Old Testament. A missionary couple currently serves with a group of believers in the area, and
we will be working with them to minister to the church and community. Prayer Requests as we go:
-For God to use opportunities such as our visits to the schools, the medical campaign, the soccer tournament, and the skits and music to communicate clearly the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
-For safety in our travels. The bus trip is 12 hours and winds through mountainous areas.
-For us to be a special blessing to the missionary couple, Fernando y
Karina, that will be hosting us.
-For God to work in the hearts of our church people, giving a burden to continue to go and serve in missions.
-For our team – that we will have a humble, serving spirit. I am thankful that supporters like you make it possible for me to GO with the Gospel to places like Satipo! May God be glorified.
In His love that will not let us go, Amy Brundage

an even wider audience.”

LATE SUMMER THOUGHTS
It seems to me anyhow, that this summer has gone fast and yet school will begin again soon and the Putnam County Fair is getting closer. I want to mention some things to keep in mind in our late summer time
Crop harvest (other than hay) will be coming quicker than you think, (corn particularly) and so hopefully you are getting prepared. That includes scouting fields for aphids, armyworms and grasshoppers although I have not heard any of them are bad this year (yet). You also need to be adjusting and getting your machinery ready for harvest. Doing that can save on harvest losses later on. If you go to the extension web page, www.extension.missouri.edu, and type in harvest losses there are 2 guides from Iowa State that are helpful. Secondly, do not forget to track yields at least by landowner if not by field. If you consistently get better yields from certain rental pieces, you can afford a little more cash rent. Conversely, if you can show your landlord that their farm does not yield as good, then they should not expect the highest rent around (yes, landlords told me all my career their farm was the best in the county when it was not). Third, it is the time of year to consider stockpiling fescue for winter forage. I know Putnam and parts of Sullivan are abnormally dry but we usually get rains in the fall. Mid-August is the time to do this. There is more information on this at www.extension. missouri.edu and search stockpiling fescue.
Late summer is also a good time to decide
to take soil tests and determine where you need to take tests before next year. Gardens and fields that have not been tested for 3 to 5 years really need to be updated with a new test. Your county extension office will be glad to help you with boxes and a probe to use.
STATE
FAIRS GOING ON
I know many of you attend the state fairs and Missouri and Iowa’s are going on now. Both the Missouri and Iowa state fairs run from August 8 to 18 and both have lots going on.
REMINDERS
Do not forget the Market on the Square continues every Saturday morning from 7 to 11 am. Locally grown fruits and vegetables are in full scale at the market now with beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, zucchinis, potatoes, melons and peaches in addition to baked goods, eggs, crafts and other products are available. There are other markets around our area too so check them out also.
A couple big events coming up in August are 1) Tuesday, August 20 at 6:00 pm at the Bixler Building in Unionville there will be a planning meeting to discuss the future of Unionville and Putnam County. Please plan to attend as many grant and other programs require a long-range plan. 2) a celebration of the Putnam County courthouse’s 100 anniversary will take place on Friday and Saturday, August 30 and 31 Events will be primarily in the afternoon with tours and many historical facts.

August has arrived and with it the 2024-2025 school year. The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like to encourage parents to include conversations about safety when preparing their student for school. It’s also important that drivers be prepared for the change in traffic patterns as students begin another year of instruction. In 2023, four people were killed and 403 injured in traffic crashes involving a school bus. In Missouri last year, a total of 877 traffic crashes involved school buses.
Troopers hope everyone will review these safety tips:
Students
If you’re walking to school, stay alert! Cross the street at intersections or marked crosswalks and never between parked cars. Make eye contact with drivers when crossing the street to make sure they see you. Use sidewalks when they are available. If it is necessary to walk on the roadway, stay close to the left edge and step off to the left when traffic approaches. Never dash into the street after a friend or to retrieve something.
Riding a bicycle to school is a fun way to travel. If you’re riding your bike, be sure to wear a helmet and obey all traffic signs and signals. Ride as near to the right side of the roadway as is safe and use the proper hand signals when you plan to change directions, slow, or stop. Never carry passengers. Keep both hands on the handlebars except when signaling. Also, it’s important to maintain your bicycle in good condition.
If you ride a school bus, check the weather
and dress accordingly. Wait in line for the bus on the shoulder or sidewalk. Use the handrail when getting on or off the bus. Never try to retrieve items that fall under the bus, alert your bus driver. Walk at least 10 feet in front of the bus when crossing the street. Sit quietly on the bus and keep the aisle clear. If anything goes wrong, stay calm and follow the instructions of the bus driver.
Most traffic crashes involving young drivers (under the age of 21) occur between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., when school typically lets out. Many of these drivers are young and inexperienced. Parents: It is important to encourage those young drivers to remember driving is a full-time job. Using a cell phone, texting, or adjusting the radio can be the distraction that leads to a traffic crash. It’s also against the law.
Parents
Parents are encouraged to talk to their children about riding a bus, walking, or driving to school in a safe manner. If they ride a bike, please make sure they wear a helmet and follow traffic laws.
Please talk to your children about the Courage2ReportMO program, which provides a safe and confidential way to report any concerns regarding their safety or the safety of others. These concerns may include: assault, bullying/repeated harassment, cyber bullying, fighting, guns, homicide, human trafficking, knife, planned school attack, imminent school shoot-

Animal Bites and Rabies
Submitted by Kari Guffey, BSN, RN, PC Health Dept.
A total of 12 reported animals have tested positive for rabies in Missouri as of July 31, 2024.
7,729 animal bites have been reported and investigated by health departments in Missouri as of August 3, 2024.
Animal bites pose a serious health risk to our community. Animal bites pose an increased risk of the transmission of rabies from animal to human through bites or scratches with salvia contact . When an animal bite is reported the health department works with the victim to ensure proper medical care has been received, rabies vaccines have been initiated if appropriate and answers other questions they may have.
The health department works with the animal owners to ensure rabies vaccines are current, to have the owner self-isolate the animal for a period of 10 days and to answer other questions they may have. If there is a change in the animals behavior and/or the owner is unable to isolate the animal, the animal would be recommended to be euthanized in a humane manner and submit the animal for rabies testing through the Missouri De-
Mother - Son Adventure
partment of Health and Senior Services. Rabies vaccines and immunoglobulin are the only effective measures to potential prevent the development of rabies in humans. Immunoglobulin is typically administered at the site of the bite or scratch. Rabies vaccines are initiated and typically administered on the day of the bite (day 0), day three, day seven and day fourteen. These services are typicallyprovided either on an outpatient basis at the hospital or though the emergency room. Having your pets vaccinated against rabies not only ensures that your family is safer it also can help determine if the victim needs to start treatment.
In the event of a wild animal bite where the animal was not submitted for testing, a healthcare professional will make the recommendation for treatment. Bats are one type of animal that have incredibly tiny teeth and you may not be able to tell if a bite occurred. You cannot always see the site of puncture. For additional information on rabies and rabies vaccines please contact your healthcare provider or the Putnam County Health Department.
Putnam County Health Department, MO Department of Conservation, and Putnam County Partners in Prevention hosted the Mother-Son Adventure on Monday August 5, 2024 at Lake Mahoney. The theme this year was fishing and the event was a great opportunity for mothers/significant female figures and their sons to spend time together in a fun environment.
Families enjoyed back yard games, fishing, knot tying and bird house painting. A community member donated big bird houses for the families to paint together, and these were donated to the Putnam County Care Center and Bristol Manor. Every participant was able to paint a small bird house and take home to enjoy. Pulled pork nachos, pulled pork sandwiches, dirt in a cup and watermelon was enjoyed by all.
Thank you to all of the women who were willing to spend the evening with their sons! Thank you to Preferred Family Healthcare for funding that supported the event. Thank you to the City of Unionville for the use of the Lake Mahoney. Thank you Missouri Department of Conservation for partnering with us and providing fishing poles and backyard games. Thank you to the Store Building LLC for making a delicious meal. Thank you to John and Vivian Garr for maintaining Lake Mahoney for everyone to enjoy.
The Putnam Community Partners in Prevention mission is to promote healthy lifestyles and strong families in our community through education, awareness, alternative activities, advocacy, and policy and environmental change.
