I totally adore having 3 boys, but witnessing the hustle and bustle of these beautiful young women getting ready for Prom makes me wish I had at least one

girl. This wish became short lived when I noticed “sparkles” all over the house the following morning. I have literally vacuumed my house everyday this week and I am still finding glitter, sequins, and feathers everywhere from their dresses. I’m never again going to complain about the simplicity of just slipping a tuxedo.

Walking With God

“Enoch walked with God; then he was no more because God took him.” (Genesis 5: 24) A child told that story like this, “Enoch and God took walks together. Then one time, Enoch did not come back.”

The most complimentary words a Christian can receive are “He/ she walks with God.” Today, we say, “He/ she walks the walk.” They practice what they preach. They do not just talk the talk; they walk the walk.

How does one walk the walk? I need to answer that if for no other reason than my own. We often imagine walking with God through a park. You and God chattily observe and give thanks for the sights---greening trees, moss on tree trunks, bugs scampering, birds chirping.

That is a nice picture; but for us our walk with God might be more like this---You are on your way to work; God is in the seat beside you. You scream, “Look at that stupid man talking on the phone in this busy traffic;” then you remember sometimes I do that. You pass a man begging at the corner. Your first thought

is, “Get a job.” Then you think, “Finding a job can be tough.” By now, you have passed the begging man, and you feel relieved. But wait! Your passenger, God, knows your thoughts. He is good at that.

You arrive at work in a bad mood. This day has begun poorly. That troublesome coworker meets you at the door with another problem. You think, “Oh no, not you again.” It is payday; you get your check, look at it and think, “I’m worth more than this, and look how much tax was deducted.”

You get through the day at last and start home. The traffic is horrific. You will be late, and the family had planned to attend your child’s soccer game. You will have to skip dinner to make it. The words you are mentally muttering are less than Christian, and then you remember your passenger knows what you are thinking, and you feel guilty. You do not like feeling guilty. God never said walking with Him is easy. But since He walks beside you, ask Him to help you walk the walk.

Services were held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, April 26, at Faith Baptist Church, Moline. Burial was in Rock Island National Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the church.

He worked for Caterpillar but was a farmer at heart. He enjoyed helping people and farming in his spare time. Above all else, family was the most important thing to Bill, especially his beloved grandchildren.

Bill is survived by a son and daughter-inlaw, Robert and Cilicia Phillips of East Moline; four grandchildren, Raeanna, Robert II, Rhett and Ryder Phillips; two brothers, Tom and Dan Phillips; and his close friend, Arvie Turner of East Moline. He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Beverly Flemming.

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Unionville City Council was called to order by Mayor Charley Bill Pittman at 5:30 PM on Thursday, May 2, 2024, with aldermen Gary Davis, Kellie Purdy and Eric Lutz in attendance. Alderman Jason Hill was absent.

Chris and Kaitlyn Wilcox addressed the council regarding a request to create a circle drive onto Garfield Street to facilitate entrance to their business. Following discussion, it was determined that was possible if they placed a concrete box culvert with a clean out grate on top. They will be responsible for the culvert and the city will provide the grate.

Mayor Pittman excused himself from the meeting and turned it over to Davis. City Treasurer Amy Homann presented an Economic Development Committee proposal for funding submitted by Jordan Hendee, Economic De-

velopment Committee, who was unable to attend. After discussion, Lutz motioned to approve the $10,000 award to Pittman Electric and Plumbing. Purdy seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.

Mayor Pittman re-entered the meeting.

Cameron Jones, Benton & Associates presented a permit submittal update for the sewer project, which included a timeline and further details regarding the project.

Staff reports were reviewed. T. J. Payne, Water/Wastewater, informed the council that his department had flushed the system and checked hydrants, finding four inoperable. They are marked for replacement.

Police Chief Josh Mathes updated the council on letters to property owners in violation of city ordinances.

Mayor Pittman reported he had been in contact with Schuyler County Mutual Insurance re-

Purdy reported that she had contacted Benton & Associates regarding securing a structural engineer to inspect the building on 1702 Main. The earliest he could be on site is June. The council will check with other sources.

In New Business, Homann presented the Water/Wastewater Rate Study, which provided three options, all of which included raises in both. The options were reviewed and tabled until Alderman Hill could be present.

The 5-year water plan was the next item on the agenda. Payne explained that having a five-year plan would eliminate the need to individually permit every new project, which would save the city money. Three plans had been submitted and following discussion, the council tabled the matter. Sewer jet nozzle bids

Missouri’s Third District

Danny Busick, State Representative

Reinstating

the Presidential Primary

Early in my tenure here at the Missouri House of Representatives I made a vote that I would later regret. I voted to do away with the Missouri Presidential Primary vote. At the time I thought it made sense, since the party caucuses were actually picking our state’s choices of presidential candidates. The Presidential Primary seemed to only be more a formality. Plus it cost the state $6 million. I believed the individual political parties should bear the cost of choosing their candidate.

Another issue that concerned me was cross party voting in primaries. Since a voter can choose either party’s ballot in a primary, some voters were crossing over and voting in the opposing party’s primary election to affect the outcome of the other party’s candidate. These reasons were my justification for the vote I took. But it has become evident that

the citizens of Missouri do not mind bearing the cost of the presidential primaries. Many citizens have expressed their desire to vote in a Presidential Primary. They want their voice heard. So my next vote on this issue if I get the chance will be a yes vote to bring back the Presidential Primary. Due to the recent passage of Amendment 1 on November 6, 2018, please be advised that any communications or documents received by this office that were previously treated as confidential may now be subject to public disclosure pursuant to any request made under the Missouri Sunshine Law.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – On behalf of cattlemen and cattlewomen throughout the state, Governor Mike Parson proclaimed May to be Beef Month in Missouri. Governor Parson presented the proclamation at the Missouri Beef Days Boots and Bling Banquet in Bolivar on Saturday. Members of the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, Missouri Beef Industry Council and local beef producers joined Governor Parson for the proclamation.

“We always enjoy promoting Missouri’s beef cattle industry during Beef Month and throughout the year,” Governor Mike Parson said. “As a third-generation cattleman, I know the effort and dedication it takes to produce quality beef products. Our state’s beef producers work hard to ensure nutritious beef makes it from the farm to the tables of consumers worldwide.”

“Our Missouri beef producers are resilient, and they deserve to be celebrated this month and year-round,” Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn said. “Despite drought and rising input costs, Missouri continues to rank as a national leader in beef production. I want to thank Missouri beef producers

for all they do to provide nutritious and delicious products to consumers across the globe.”

Missouri Beef Days is a week-long celebration of all things beef, hosted by one of Missouri’s top beef producing counties, Polk County. The annual celebration highlights the industry’s importance to the region, state and nation. A variety of events and activities take place during the celebration each year in Bolivar, Missouri.

“We look forward to celebrating Beef Month each May and having Governor Parson join us at Missouri Beef Days, in his hometown, is the cherry on top,” Missouri Beef Industry Council Executive Director Sydney Thummel said. “Our producers work hard each day and having a Governor who understands the beef industry is incredibly valuable. As a top beef producing state, we’re proud to have all hands on deck when it comes to promoting and protecting Missouri’s beef producers.”

Missouri ranks third nationally in the number of beef cows with 1.84 million head and is consistently among the leading states for total cattle production. The meat processing industry contributes nearly $6 mil-

lion to the state’s economy, according to a study showing the economic contribution of Missouri agriculture.

For more information about the Missouri Department of Agriculture and its programs, visit the Department online at Agriculture.Mo.Gov. To learn more about the beef industry in Missouri, visit MoCattle.org or MoBeef.org.

PLANTING DECISIONS

As I write this, I am looking out my window to more rain. The weather station in Unionville shows another 1.15 inches of rain today. I hate to complain but I know it does impact those of you who have crops planted and those yet to plant.

Planting decisions for farmers get harder as the spring goes on. You have several options on corn. (1) If you need to plant or replant, how late before switching to beans or taking prevented planting. (2) The University of Missouri Extension has a guide based on years of research as to the potential yield loss the later it is. The yield as a percent of expected remains at above 80 percent until around May 25. (3) You can still plant corn after that (if you have crop insurance, follow their date) but may want to utilize it as corn silage if we have an early fall.

Soybeans have a much later date than corn does. The yield percent of expected or historical remains over 80% until around June 15. So, another option you have on corn is to plant soybeans assuming you have

that choice (fertilizer or chemicals already in ground may impact that). While you must make those decisions on your own, there are resources thru extension that can assist you with that. Guide on these decisions is here, Corn and Soybean Replant Decisions | MU Extension (missouri.edu). This guide now includes 2 spreadsheets developed by a retired co-worker of mine and can be downloaded at the top of that site. I hope you will take advantage of this relatively new tool.

Planting or replant decisions on hay and pasture are normally made by the government if you are doing this by cost-share. These can be postponed to fall normally although remember our falls (August 15 to October 1) in Missouri but moisture is generally more of an issue then.

REMINDERS

Do not forget the Market on the Square continues every Saturday morning from 7 to 11 am. Locally grown fruits, vegetables, baked goods, crafts and other products are available. I wrote in this article last week about the change the IRS is pushing on capital gains and stepped-up-basis rules I hope some of you are contacting your legislators on this. The IRS is also enacting new rules on employee-independent contractor rules which I will try to address next time.

THOUGHT: “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything”!
