Ertels Describe Life in Alaska at Unionville Rotary Meeting Nashville musician Buddy Mondlock will make his first appearance as a performer at the Bixler 108 Listening Room on Saturday, October 21. Submitted by Tom Keedy The stream of musicians from Nashville to The Bixler 108 Listening Room continues on Saturday, October 21 when Buddy Mondlock makes his first trip to Unionville. When Buddy’s not on the road you can find him in Nashville, but he grew up in Park Forest, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. He got his first guitar when he was ten and and soon was singing Crosby, Stills and Nash songs with his sisters. After a few years away for college he started playing open mics in Chicago. When Buddy made his first trip to Texas, Guy Clark heard him singing one of his songs under a tree at the Kerrville Folk Festival and liked it. So Guy went back to Nashville, opened the door and said, “listen to this kid, he’s good!” A publishing deal and a U-Haul headed to Nashville soon followed. People started paying attention and he started some writing with another new kid in town, Garth Brooks. Garth became a star and Buddy’s song “Every Now and Then” ended up on Garth’s album “The Chase.” Other artists that have recorded songs written by Mondlock include Janis Ian, Joan Baez, Nancy Griffith, Peter Paul and

Mary, and Art Garfunkel. In addition to writing and performing in Nashville, Buddy regularly tours all over the U.S. and Europe, including a tour with Art Garfunkel. And when he is not on the road he has released a string of critically acclaimed solo recordings and albums. In recent years Buddy has been writing songs with military veterans through a program sponsored by an organization called Music Therapy of the Rockies and he includes several of those songs in his shows (and one on his new album). “We are proud to introduce Buddy Mondlock to Unionville and the Bixler 108 audience”, said Tom Keedy, who operates the Bixler. “Our audience is in for a powerful experience.” “Mondlock’s songs are like movies you want to see again. He starts with the same world we all see and hear, but he transforms the sights and sounds into revelations that delight and melodies that linger.” Ed Morris Billboard Magazine Mondlock will be performing at the Bixler on Saturday, October 21 at 7:00 pm. There is no

Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek Announces Two Week Extension of Farm Relief Loan Program JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Following the news coming from Governor Parson’s Drought Assessment Committee, State Treasurer Vivek Malek announced he is keeping his office’s Farm Relief Loan Program open through October. The new deadline is October 31st. The Farm Relief Loan program was created to prioritize low interest loans through the MOBUCK$ program for farmers and ranchers affected by drought. “Agriculture is the most important industry in Missouri. I’m proud to

continue helping farmers deal with drought and crippling inﬂation with the Farm Relief Loan program.” Beginning on August 17, 2023, the State Treasurer’s Office started accepting applications for Farm Relief Loan program loans. Using the Farm Relief Loan program allows lenders to lower the interest rates to the borrower by about 2-3 percent. Malek added “Missouri’s farmers and ranchers have been hit with so much, but they get right back up and

keep feeding the world. That’s why I’m encouraged to see such demand for our Farm Relief Loan program.” Since the program opened mid-August, the State Treasurer’s Office has approved $29,210,000 in loans to help farmers get low-cost operating loans. Loans are capped at $1M per borrower. Anyone interested in applying should consult their lender or contact the State Treasurer’s Office at (573) 751-9443 or mobucks. mo.gov.

My Side Of The Desk Karen Bradshaw

While playing a game on my phone this morning, an ad popped up that claimed there was a new Medicare benefit that would pay for groceries. This sent up a huge red ﬂag. It might be legitimate, but probably not. First, there have been no press releases regarding this, and it smacks too much of the “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” theory. From all appearances, it appears to be a scam targeting people on a limited income. There should be a special place for those scammers. I am thinking Dante’s lowest region of Hell might be too good for them. To safeguard your finances, it is important to be vigilant and often skeptical. For example, if you receive a bill via email, don’t respond to the phone number, return email or website listed in the email. Instead, search for a telephone listing for the company and contact their billing department. I have recently done this on a couple of hospital bills. It turned out they were both legitimate, but it pays to take the extra precautions. Earlier, I had received a bill via email from one of these hospitals that was not legitimate. If I hadn’t called a separate number to check, I might have found my bank account much emptier. If you download games on your comput-

er or phone, it is wise to check the country of origin. This can be done by scrolling down in the description of the game in the App store. For example, several family members and friends were sharing their Wordle scores. It sounded like a game I would enjoy, so I checked on it in Google Apps. When I saw the country of origin was Cyprus, I gave it a hard pass. I have been out of IT for quite a few years now, but Cyprus was one of those countries known for hackers and scams. Admittedly, because of my IT experience I might be a bit paranoid. For example, I never cashed a $19.00 check that was supposedly a refund for overpayment on a radiology bill. I had no record of dealing with that entity and it seemed a possible avenue for access to my account info. One important step is to keep a close watch on your bank account and check for unauthorized payments or withdrawls. Don’t give out account or personal information over the phone or via email. Check and double check that you are dealing with the actual company or entity. These steps won’t absolutely guarantee you will never be scammed, but it’s a movement in the right direction. Stay safe and have a great week!

The Runt We have several cats at our place (but few mice). Some of them are growing kittens, but one is the Runt. When Kevin Collins I go out the west door every morning to chore several of the cats are right there waiting breakfast. The Runt always make a mad dash into the mudroom. Then he quickly exits. But I have to admire his moxey for trying. It goes to show you don’t have to be big to be bold. (I think that might apply to several areas of life.)

The Shepherd’s Call by Dr. H. Wade Paris Jesus Says Come Jesus often used the word come, “Come unto me all who are heavy laden, come follow me, come you blessed of my Father, come be with me.” God wants to be with us. He promised to be with us, “Lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age.” The Father sent His Son Jesus to be with us. He promises to dwell within us with His Holy Spirit. God has gone to extraordinary lengths to be with us. It all began like this---God created our universe, and on the final day stood back and said, “That is good! Now, let us make mankind. Let’s make him like us, in our image.” (Genesis 1:26) Then God turned His attention to spending time with His creation---His children, us. Austin Miles got it right. God wants to walk with me, talk with me, and assure me I am His child. The presence of the Spirit of Jesus within changes humankind. Realizing their need for a better life, people turn over a new leaf, write resolutions, and determine to become better people. But those are outward changes---commendable, but inadequate. In a small town years

ago, people were regularly getting sick; some even died. It was determined the town well was the source of the problem. The water was contaminated. While searching for a solution in a community meeting, someone suggested they paint the pump. Humanity’s problems are not on the outside of us but inside us. In Biblical days, the City of Corinth was one of the most wicked in the known world. Their city’s life centered around the immoral goddess of love. A seaport city, their wickedness was known abroad and enticed sin seekers from everywhere. When the apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, he said, “Once you were wicked like everyone else. But now you have become children of God.” Nothing could have accomplished this change but the presence of Jesus within them. Jesus invites us to come to Him for new life, everlasting life. We began this column by noting how often Jesus said, “Come.” You may have thought, “Yes, but He also said, “Go.” True, but He never said, “Go away.”

Amy’s Prayer Letter by Amy Brundage

Amy to Peru, Only by His Grace October 12, 2023 Dear Praying Friends and Family, The three weeks spent in the U.S. were full and blessed! During the first few days, I was able to attend the Baptist Mid-Missions Conference in Cleveland, OH. We enjoyed great preaching, God-honoring music, sweet fellowship with other believers, and helpful workshops. Some other highlights of the week: staying at my friend Sandi Beam’s home; seeing Allan and Diane Frey, my former coworkers from Fetzer; reconnecting with other missionary coworkers and friends from college days; and meeting new missionaries from around the world. After being in Ohio, I was in Missouri for the last two weeks, where I thoroughly enjoyed time with family (lots of time with my niece and nephew was a big highlight!), sharing about Peru in a new church, serving in my sending church, and having a good meeting

with a new pastor from one of my faithful supporting churches. I’m thankful that I was able to visit three different Hispanic families in my hometown. The children of these families had come to VBS, but their parents do not understand much English. It was a joy to visit with them and share the Gospel with them in Spanish. Upon arrival to Peru on August 6th, I hit the ground running. =) As U.S. schools were beginning a new school year in August, we started 3rd quarter classes at Pioneer Christian School. This quarter was full and blessed as God opened many doors to minister to several students in my school in different ways. I’d like to ask prayer for Vanesa (7th grade), Mateo (7th grade), Camila (7th grade), Maria Gracia (9th grade), and Sheyna (9th grade). • Vanesa was saved in July of this year! Just before leaving for the States, I had explained the Gospel again to Vanesa when she asked me at recess how she could be

sure she was saved. At that time, she told me she wanted to think about it. When we reconnected after break, she told me that she received Christ at home a week later. What an incredible joy! Please pray for Vanesa’s spiritual growth. Her parents are not believers, but I’ve been able to connect with her mom a couple times after school. • Mateo’s parents are members of my church here in Peru. I am praying that Mateo takes the step of believer’s baptism, and that he can start helping us serve once a month in children’s church. • Camila is a new believer, but her parents are not saved. I had my student’s write out their salvation testimonies in Spanish and then in English. It was a great way to connect with them about spiritual things. Through that assignment, I learned that Camila had accepted Jesus as Savior after a chapel message at school. I am praying for her family’s salvation and for her spiritual growth. • Maria Gracia is also a believer but has some serious struggles. The school director asked me to start counseling her about a month ago. We have seen progress, but she has some difficult habits to break. Pray

Please pray for wisdom for me as I meet with her. • Sheyna is not a believer, although she has heard the Gospel several times. Her grandma has visited my church several times. Pray for Sheyna’s salvation. In addition to the prayer needs I have mentioned above, I would also like to request prayer for the following: Iglesia Bautista de Fe (Faith Baptist Church) to have an effective and fruitful ministry and to boldly proclaim the Gospel of Christ; for me to be faithful and not grow weary in well-doing; and for wisdom and faith in upcoming ministry decisions. During our recent two-day teacher’s retreat (picture above is from the retreat), the speaker reminded us that to serve God we must serve others. Sometimes it’s not easy, but I’m so thankful for the privilege of serving God in Peru by ministering to and ministering alongside the Peruvian people. Thank you for faithfully praying for me and supporting me financially so that I can serve God in this way! Only by His grace, Amy Brundage

Wolverines Too Much For Midgets Battle In The Cemetery Bowl Gives Midgets Another Loss, Falling 42 - 20

Coming off a huge win over Gallatin, the Midgets were set for another victory as they traveled to Maysville to face the Wolverines. Their hopes were quickly dashed as the Wolverines jumped to a 20-0 lead in the first quarter. Maysville won the toss and chose to receive the kickoff. They marched down field, scoring off a second first down from the eight yard line with 8:49 on the clock in the opening quarter. The Midget defense stood and kept the Wolverines from getting the two-point conversion. The Wolverines took advantage of a Midget fumble on the subsequent kickoff scoring again two and one-half minutes later. The Midgets again kept them out of the end zone on the two-point conversion attempt. Putnam County went four and out on their first

The Lady Midgets’ season ended in district play on Thursday, October 12, with a record of 14-8. The four-seed Midgets were matched with the five-seed Brookfield Lady Bulldogs in a repeat of the October 2, match where PC prevailed 2-1. Just as in that game, Thursday’s match was a close affair, going scoreless until the top of the sixth inning when a miscommunication led to an error and the Bulldogs scoring the only two runs in the game, securing the 2-1 win and advancing to face South Harrison on Saturday.

The Midgets fought until the end, having the bases loaded in the seventh. They had also loaded the bases in sixth and second innings, without successfully getting a runner home and leaving a total of 13 runners stranded. Hits came from Jenna Knowles, Allise Perkins (two), Avery Gilworth (two), Traylen Brundage and Maddison Beals. Knowles led the team in stolen bases with three.

October 18, 1863 – The Dallas County Courthouse was burned for the first time. Subsequent facilities were also burned in 1864 and in 1867. October 19, 1985 – Opening day of the Show Me World Series between the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals. October 20, 1894 – The St. Joseph Gazette reported that what they called, “The game of basket ball for the state championship between Kansas City and Springfield teams, resulted in a tie, neither team scoring.” October 21, 1910 – Hugh Armstrong Robinson was back in Neosho visiting his mother. Robinson was the third person ever to ﬂy an airplane, after Orville and Wilbur Wright, who taught him to ﬂy. And he

also built the first automobile ever run in Neosho. October 22, 1872 – The teacher, Miss Carrick, showed up for the first day of school in Douglas County and found the seats piled near the school and burning. There was also a note explaining that she was not wanted and only one man there wanted a school at all.

October 23, 1826 – The historic military facility at Jefferson Barracks was given its present name. Previously it was known as Camp Adams. October 24, 1844 – A tornado struck the cabin of Kansas City pioneer, John Calvin McCoy. It picked up his threemonth-old son, bed and all, and carried him out of his house. He was later found, still in his bed, and safe. For information about Ross Malone’s Missouri Books, visit www.RossMalone.com .
