Livestock Symposium Beef Program Focuses on Investing for the Future. KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – Beef producers will learn what opportunities and challenges are ahead at the 24th annual Missouri Livestock Symposium, says Garry L. Mathes, chairman. Farmers and ranchers will learn the value of management and marketing at the Symposium, on December 1 and 2. Zac Erwin, MU Extension Livestock Specialist and Symposium vice-chair, says “Industry dynamics are in a period of rapid change and producers need to make decisions now that will have long-lasting impacts. Our beef speaker lineup will address many of the issues important to beef producers.” Dr. Joe Horner, University of Missouri Extension State Ag Economics Specialist, will talk about “Bullet Proofing Your Beef Operation.” Dr. Eric Bailey, University of Missouri Extension State Beef Specialist, will speak on “How to Feed Cows with No Feed.” Wesley Tucker, MU Extension Agribusiness Specialist, will discuss “Which Has Risen Faster—Cattle Prices or Cost of Production?” Chris Perry, DVM from Bethel, Missouri will talk about “Deworming Strategies and Liver Fluke Control.” Erwin adds, “There are other notable beef topics in other sections of our lineup as well, discussing topics on beef cow leasing and pasture purchase prices.” Erwin continues, “The economic environment we are currently in as an industry has producers making decisions that have historically high nominal dollar amounts attached to them, and making informed decisions will have significant impacts moving
forward.” The Missouri Livestock Symposium has an agricultural trade show open during the two days. The Missouri Livestock Symposium meets at Matthew Middle School, 1515 Cottage Grove. The hours are 4 to 10 pm. Friday, December 1, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 2.

City Approves Red Rock Demolition Bid for Taking Down Building at 1700 Main The regularly scheduled meeting of the Unionville City Council was called to order by Alderman Gary Davis with aldermen Kellie Purdy, Eric Lutz and Jason Hill in attendance and Mayor Charley Bill Pittman joining the meeting via telephone. After review, Purdy motioned to approve the Consent Agenda. Lutz seconded the motion, which passed 3-0. Staff reports were reviewed. T. J. Payne, Water/Wastewater Department, reported on recent work done at the park and prepping for winter. In Old Business, demolition bids were opened and reviewed. Purdy
motioned to approve the $93,000 bid from Red Rock Demolition. Lutz seconded the motion, which passed 3-0. Tom Keedy questioned if the demolition bid included remediation on the Garrett building next door. The bid does include leaving the shared wall and end caps. Next bids for locating lead lines were opened. Payne reported that he had reviewed the bids and talked to each of the bidders. His recommendation was Byrne and Jones. He added that the company would give credit for the lead lines the city department had already located and the cost could be less than
the bid. Lutz motioned to approve the Byrns and Jones bid. Purdy seconded the motion, which passed 3-0. Purdy motioned to have Bill 2316, Sales Tax read twice by title. Lutz seconded the motion. Following City Clerk Linnette Caley’s reading of Bill 2316 twice by title, Purdy motioned to approve. Hill seconded the motion, which passed 3-0. In New Business, the city received a request to block off the square to traffic for Winterfest. Adjusting holiday hours for City Hall in regard to election sign up was approved. Davis reported that
he had received a request from an individual wishing to purchase the former rearing pond at the city lake. This needs to be discussed with the Conservation Department. In Other Business, Lutz pointed out that the patches in the new street paving project are not level. This was discussed at length and the council asked Caley to have a representative from the paving firm at the next meeting. At 6:15, Purdy motioned to adjourn. Lutz seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.

The Shepherd’s Call by Dr. H. Wade Paris Secular Saints While I was a student at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, the Colonial Bread bakery was just outside the city. Some days when the wind was right you could smell the bread baking. For a dollar you could go inside and purchase a loaf of hot bread before it was sliced or packaged. They just gave it to you in a brown paper sack. A carload of students would pool their coins, buy a loaf, then eat it with their bare hands while it was hot. It was wonderful, but a loaf quickly disappeared among the students. When I read Jesus’ words, “Man does not live by bread alone,” I remember that delicious bread. Still, no matter how tantalizing hot bread may be, there is more to life than a loaf of bread. When Jesus used the word “bread,” He doubtless was referring to more than food. He had in mind all our needs and wants, all our earthly desires. Jesus did not mean we are not to seek bread. He said we do not live by bread “alone.” Singular pursuit of the things of earth is a shortcut to unhappiness. However,
the pursuit of bread is a necessity. That pursuit should be guided by “every word that comes from the mouth of God.” David Roper explained it like this, “We must work, not to conquer, acquire, accumulate, and retire but to make visible the invisible Christ by touching people with His love. Then, we can be sure our labor in the Lord is not in vain.” I am currently writing a series of sketches about the life and work of some Christian people. Some of them are pastors and missionaries; but others labored at jobs not considered religious. We call them laypeople. They touch people pastors and missionaries never even see, let alone touch. I personally refer to these people as “secular saints.” May I confess that I am eternally grateful God called me to be a pastor. For more than sixty years, I reveled in that ministry; but there were times when I would have preferred to be a “secular saint.” These “saints” greatly outnumber the clergy, and I will forever thank God for them.

My Side Of The Desk Karen Bradshaw
It doesn’t seem possible that this week is Thanksgiving. I am not hosting the family feast so my only responsibility is “Grandma’s Hot Rolls.” Actually, it is not my recipe and they are “easy peasy” to make. The real beauty of them other than being hot rolls is that the dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. In fact, the end result is better is the dough has been in the refrigerator for a couple of days and punched down numerous times. HOT ROLLS (AKA Easy Refrigerator Rolls) 3 cups warm water 3 pkgs. active dry yeast ¾ cup sugar 3 tsp. salt 9 to 10 cups sifted flour (I skip the sifting) 2 eggs 3/8 cup soft shortening Dissolve yeast in water in large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar and let rest or proof for 5 minutes. Stir in salt and about ½ the flour. Beat thoroughly by hand for 2 minutes. Add eggs and shortening. Gradually beat in remaining flour until smooth. (I often end up donning vinyl gloves and mixing this by hand). Cover with a damp cloth and place in the refrigerator until ready to let rise. Pinch dough into rolls, slightly larger
than a golf ball. Place in lightly greased baking dish or on parchment paper. Let raise for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Bake in a 375o oven for 10 minutes. Brush with butter and return to oven to finish browning. This recipe makes approximately six dozen rolls. The dough can be kept in the refrigerator up to a week, but the covering cloth must be kept dampened and the dough will need to be punched down at least once a day. I also like to turn the dough into a greased bowl and turning the dough over before placing it in the refrigerator. The dough might actually keep more than a week in the refrigerator, but we have never had it last that long. Speaking of recipes, I just had a grand daughter text me for my chocolate pie recipe. I had to respond that my “secret recipe” was a Pillsbury pie crust and cooked chocolate Jell-O pudding. Yes, I am that lazy cook. I used to make chocolate and banana pies from scratch, but once I discovered the family couldn’t tell the difference and that no one liked meringue, that was that. Whatever you and your family are enjoying for your Thanksgiving meal, I hope you have a great holiday and a great week.
Attitude of Gratitude
We all know we should be thankful more than one or two days that are scheduled on the Kevin Collins calendar. Gratitude is something we all need to cultivate each and every day. That probably begins with our attitude and with what has been called an “attitude of gratitude.” When we do that we will soon find that grateful actions will follow. Happy Thanksgiving

History Matters
By John Grimaldi and Bruce Smith In 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt designated the fourth Thursday—of every November --as Thanksgiving. But the celebration had started much earlier. History.com, says it began “in the autumn of 1621, when Plymouth governor William Bradford invited local members of the Wampanoag tribe to join the Pilgrims in a festival held in gratitude for the bounty of the season.” And so it “became an annual custom throughout New England in the 17th century, and in 1777 the Continental Congress declared the
CWD
...
first national American Thanksgiving following the Patriot victory at Saratoga. In 1789, President George Washington became the first president to proclaim a Thanksgiving holiday, when, at the request of Congress, he proclaimed November 26, a Thursday, as a day of national thanksgiving for the U.S. Constitution.” This year, the holiday is on November 23. The Grateful American Book Prize recommends Thanksgiving: The Biography of an American Holiday by James W. Baker.

formation tags are available at the sites. Get more information on voluntary sampling locations and drop-off locations online at mdc. mo.gov/cwd. Hunters can get their CWD test results for free online at mdc.mo.gov/ cwdResults. Results are available within four weeks from the time of sampling and the wait time if often much less. According to MDC, white-tailed deer are an extremely important wildlife resource of the state and deer hunting is tremendously popular. Each year, nearly half a million hunters pursue deer in Missouri, which provides a tremendous boon to Missouri’s economy and supports thousands of jobs.
CWD is a deadly, infectious disease in deer and other members of the deer family (cervids) that is 100% fatal. There is no vaccine or cure. CWD can be spread from direct deer-to-deer contact, through improper disposal of deer carcasses, and through the environment by deer contacting infectious material from other deer. Left unmanaged, CWD could have significant effects on Missouri’s deer population, hunting culture, and economy. Hunters play a critical role in helping MDC find and manage CWD by having their deer tested and following carcass movement restrictions and other CWD regulations. Learn more at mdc.mo.gov/ cwd.

Leona Galloway
Leona Montgomery Galloway passed from this world November 10, 2023, in Columbia, Missouri. Leona was born December 13, 1931, in rural northeast Missouri, and was the only child of the late Dorthea Richardson and Duane Montgomery. As was typical for her generation, she was born at home and did not have electricity, indoor plumbing or other modern conveniences for several years. Leona first attended a one room schoolhouse, Novinger schools and later graduated from Unionville, Missouri, High School. She also attended Northeast Missouri Teachers College. Freal Galloway and Leona met in high school, fell in love, and were married Decem-
ber 25, 1949. He passed away in 1996 giving them almost 50 years of marriage and life together. Church was an important part of Leona’s life. As a teenager she was baptized in the icy waters of the pond on the family farm and was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ. For the last many years, she loved and was loved by the Central Church of Christ in Kirksville, Missouri. Leona was a talented pianist, seamstress, artist and homemaker. Music gave her great joy and is a big part of her legacy. The home she created was full of good food, books, music, laughter, kids, their friends, their pets, grandkids and was a perfect place for holidays and making memories. Leona is preceded in death by her parents, Dorthea and Duane Montgomery, husband Freal Galloway, daughter Karen Pyron and son-inlaw Dan Todd. Surviving are children Sherry Todd of Bonner Springs, Kansas, Kim Galloway and Gwen of St. Louis, Missouri, Belinda Galloway Carpenter and

19th Annual NCMC Foundation sponsored High School Holiday Hoops Tips-off December 16th The countdown is on for the 19th Annual High School Holiday Hoops Basketball Showcase presented by the NCMC Foundation; the schedule will be announced soon! The 2023 edition of Holiday Hoops will tip off at the Ketcham Community Center on the North Central Missouri College campus in Trenton, with a total of 78 teams representing 45 Missouri high schools and Waukee Northwest in Iowa. Games will begin on Saturday, December 16th, and wrap up on Friday, December 29th. The 9-day event will include some first-time schools to the NCMC campus during the holiday break, “We are excited to have new schools joining us for the 2023 Holiday Hoops,” commented committee member Mitch Dougan. “Having good matchups is something we pride ourselves on, and the addition of these new schools helps ensure good match-ups. We thank the schools for
getting their contracts in early and being great to work with.” For the first time in Holiday Hoops history, Crest Ridge, Harrisonville, and Kipp KC Legacy will take to the NCMC court in December. In addition, games will once again be live-streamed at www.piratesdigitalmedia.com. “Live streaming all games brings the Holiday Hoops experience to those who are unable to make it to campus, and we are excited to have Pirates Digital Media back,” shares committee member Nate Gamet. “Viewers will notice a new gym floor to go along with the new bleachers and paint that was added a couple years ago.” Holiday Hoops continues to be one of the state’s largest high school holiday basketball events, with all games played on the NCMC campus in Trenton. Volunteers assist the 15-member committee in managing the event, which will host 48 var-
sity basketball games. The mission of this event is to expand exposure of North Central Missouri College, its campus, and facilities by offering a quality, competitive basketball environment where students and teams can showcase their skills during winter break. Further, The NCMC Foundation and Holiday Hoops Committee hopes the event encourages student athletes to consider furthering their educational and athletic goals beyond high school. A commemorative program highlighting all participating teams and area supporters will be available for purchase, as well as t-shirts. Each participating student athlete receives a complimentary t-shirt. Raffle ticket proceeds will benefit one Holiday Hoops participant with a scholarship to attend NCMC next fall. Daily admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students and senior citizens (age 65 and older). Holiday Hoops com-

Keep Risky Habits Out of the Kitchen this Thanksgiving WASHINGTON – America’s biggest food holiday is almost here, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) wants to remind consumers to avoid habits that increase the risk of harmful bacteria in their Thanksgiving meal. “Unsafe handling and undercooking your turkey can cause foodborne illness,” said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Emilio Esteban. “To ensure your Thanksgiving meal is wholesome and memorable without the illness, follow the four steps to food safety: clean, separate, cook and chill, and avoid risky food handling habits that go against USDA guidelines.” Here are seven dangerous habits USDA would like consumers to drop: #1 Not washing your hands or kitchen surfaces before, during and after food prep: Handwashing is the first step to avoiding foodborne illness. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water before, during and after handling food. Clean and sanitize any surfaces that have touched raw turkey and its juices and will later touch food, such as kitchen counters, sinks, stoves, tabletops, etc. Cleaning with soap and water physically removes the germs, and sanitizing kills any remaining. Many different sanitizers can be used: an easy homemade version
is to make a solution of one tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of water, or you can use a commercial sanitizer or sanitizing wipe. Thorough handwashing remains a concern for the USDA. The most recent USDA study shows that 87% of participants self-reported they washed their hands before starting to cook in the test kitchen. However, only 44% of participants were observed doing so before meal preparation. Additionally, handwashing was not attempted 83% of the time when it should have been done (after handling raw meat or touching contaminated surfaces). Throughout the study, 96% of handwashing attempts did not contain all necessary steps. #2 Using the same cutting boards and utensils for raw and ready-to-eat foods: Cross-contamination is the spread of bacteria from raw meat and poultry onto ready-to-eat food, surfaces, and utensils. Avoid this by using separate cutting boards — one for raw meat and poultry and another for ready-to-eat foods like fruits and vegetables that will be served raw. #3 Defrosting your turkey on the kitchen counter: Leaving any frozen package of meat or poultry for more than two hours on the counter at room temperature is dangerous. Even though the center of the package may still be frozen, the outer layer of the food is
in the “Danger Zone” between 40 and 140 F — a temperature where foodborne bacteria multiply rapidly. You can safely thaw a turkey using the following methods: Refrigerator Thawing: When thawing in a fridge, allow roughly 24 hours for every four to five pounds of turkey. After thawing, a turkey is safe in a refrigerator for one to two days. Cold Water Thawing: When thawing in a cold-water bath, allow 30 minutes per pound and submerge the turkey in its original wrapping to avoid cross-contamination. Change the water every half hour until the turkey is thawed. Cook it immediately after thawing. #4 Cooking your turkey overnight at a low temperature: It is not safe to cook any meat or poultry in an oven set lower than 325 F. At lower temperatures, meat stays in the Danger Zone for too long. Cook your turkey at 325 F or above and ensure all parts of the turkey reach a safe internal temperature of 165 F. #5 Relying only on a pop-up temperature indicator: While the popup timers found in many turkeys tend to be fairly accurate, they only check the internal temperature in one spot when we recommend three. Always use a food thermometer to ensure your turkey has reached a safe inter-

Jefferson City, Mo – Cameron Mutual Insurance Company (“Cameron Mutual”) has been placed into court-supervised liquidation effective December 1, 2023. Chlora Lindley-Myers, Director of the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (“DCI”) has been named liquidator of Cameron Mutual. A copy of the Final Judgment, Decree, and Order of Liquidation (“Liquidation Order”) will be posted when it becomes available from the Court at insurance. mo.gov/companies/receiv.php. When an insurance company is impaired, in unsound financial condition, or its further transaction of insurance business would be hazardous to its policyholders, Missouri law authorizes the DCI Director to ask the court for an order directing the DCI Director to liquidate the insurance company during which: Policies will terminate within 30 days of the effective date of the liquidation order. Notice of the liquidation order, policy termination, and the claims procedures will be provided to all policyholders and other known creditors by U.S. mail. The liquidator will marshal the assets of the insurer and wind down its operations.
Claims will be paid in accordance with Missouri’s priority distribution statute. Cameron Mutual provides property and casualty insurance, and its lines of business include personal (primarily homeowners and auto coverage), commercial, and farm. Cameron Mutual experienced significant losses during 2023 which caused a rapid reduction in Cameron Mutual’s policyholder surplus. Cameron Mutual’s surplus dropped from $16.4 million as of March 31, 2023, to $3.4 million as of June 30, 2023. The company announced earlier this year that it would wind down its insurance operations by non-renewing policies. The company was placed under Administrative Supervision on July 6, 2023. Effective July 12, 2023, the Board of Directors for Cameron Mutual and Cameron National Insurance Company (“Cameron National”) resigned. On August 7, 2023, the Court entered an Order of Rehabilitation of Cameron Mutual and appointed the DCI Director as the rehabilitator. During rehabilitation, the rehabilitator encouraged policyholders to switch their policies to another carrier and authorized payment of unearned premiums up to at

Putnam County Genealogy Society Meeting Minutes
Judy Robinson, President, called the meeting to order on the 11th day of November 2023 with the following members present, Judy Robinson, Maribeth DeHaven, Gloria Couchman, Darleen Webber, Judy McDonald, Evelyn Morgan, Denise Halley, Karen Bradshaw and Christy Allen. The Secretary’s minutes were read with a correction being made and approved by Darleen Webber and seconded by Evelyn Morgan. The Treasurer’s report was given. Denise Halley made the motion to approve with Darleen Webber seconding it. A card was signed to send to the Griggs on Dickie Joe Herrick’s death. He was a brotherin-law of Evelyn’s. Christy Allen said she was joining the Genealogy Society to partner with the Library as she would like more of our books to display in the Library. Maribeth told of a man bringing a femur bone and a rib bone to the Museum and wanting her to tell him what it was worth. He did want to give it to the Museum but wanted to sell it if he could. So, he took it
back with him. Judy McDonald told of the boxes of books that are in the back room which need to be sold. She suggested that we drop the price of the cemetery books to $25.00 and Denise made the motion to drop the supplements to $24.00 also with Judy seconding it. Motion carried. These books would made wonderful Christmas gifts. Darleen suggested a way to do a supplement without doing a picture of the stones by listing the name and dates only. The Mt. Herman Church has been taken down. They plan to put a small shelter house in its place for the public to use. Dues will be due the first of the year. Yearly dues are $10.00 and Lifetime dues are $50.00. Our next meeting will be December 2, 2023, at 9:00 AM, which is Winterfest. We will serve chili that evening while people are walking the streets and looking at the windows. Evelyn made the motion with Darleen seconding to adjourn the meeting. Maribeth DeHaven, Secretary

nal temperature of 165 F in the thickest part of the breast, the innermost part of the wing, and the innermost part of the thigh to check its internal temperature. #6 Stuffing your turkey the night before: USDA recommends against stuffing your turkey since this often leads to bacteria growth. If you plan to stuff your turkey, follow these steps: Prepare the wet and dry ingredients for the stuffing separately from each other and refrigerate until ready to use. Mixing the dry and the wet ingredients produce an environment that bacteria can thrive in hours before being placed in the oven. Mix wet and dry ingredients just before filling the cavity of the turkey. Stuff the turkey loosely — about 3/4 cup of stuffing per pound. Never stuff a whole turkey and store in the refrigerator before cooking. Immediately place the stuffed, raw turkey in an oven set no lower than 325 F. A stuffed turkey will take 50% longer to cook.
Once it has finished cooking, place a food thermometer in the center of the stuffing to ensure it has reached a safe internal temperature of 165 F. #7 Keeping leftovers for more than a week: Store leftovers in small shallow containers and put them in the refrigerator. Thanksgiving leftovers are safe to eat for up to four days when stored in the refrigerator. In the freezer, leftovers are safely frozen indefinitely but will keep the best quality for two to six months. For more food safety information, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854), email MPHotline@usda. gov or chat live at ask. usda.gov from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. On Thanksgiving Day, the Hotline will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time.

Gov. Parson Signs Executive Order Extending Drought Alert in Missouri (JEFFERSON CITY, MO) – November 17 Governor Mike Parson signed Executive Order 23-10, extending Missouri’s drought alert until May 1, 2024. Currently, the U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that all or portions of at least 85 Missouri counties are experiencing moderate, severe, or extreme drought conditions. The Executive Order declares a Drought Alert in these Missouri counties and any additional county that begins experiencing drought conditions. “Having to issue a
drought alert this spring was quite unprecedented, and unfortunately, drought has persisted in Missouri,” Governor Parson said. “While we’ve had periods of marginal improvement, farmers and ranchers are still feeling the impacts, many forced to sell livestock early and scrambling for alternative feed sources. Some of the most impacted areas are our waterways, slowing barge and river port activity during our busy

Putnam County in the News
The following items were excerpted from the November 21, 1923, edition of The Unionville Republican. They provide a snapshot of life one hundred years ago this week. It is nice to note that the Ministerial Alliance was hosting community Thanksgiving services 100 years ago. A NEW RADIO SERVICE The Republican has installed a new radio service for the benefit of the people throughout the community. The machine is known as a Radiola and is manufactured by the Radio Corporation. The particular model installed by The Republican has all of the latest improvements known to the whole world … Already the new machine has been used and is giving perfect satisfaction for purity of tone. It has been able to pick up broadcasting stations all
over the United states and on one occasion a foreigner somewhere was heard talking. Owing to inability to understand the language it was not possible to know where it was from. Over the machine it is possible to hear whatever station is desired with distance clearness. This should make it possible to serve with precision. The installation of this radio outfit is in line with the constant policy of The Republican to give its community the very highest service possible. Whatever service it may be able to render with it will be given without cost to the public. The machine installed is an expensive one, but this feature was not permitted to stand in the way of perfection when the question came as a choice between the two. Undoubtedly the radio will enable The Republican to keep accurately in touch with the latest

news. Already news has been received over the set almost as soon as it happened in distant parts of the country or foreign lands. As soon as the various forms of service have been worked out satisfactorily our readers will be apprised of the fact and told how to make use of the service. *** MILAN WILDCATS TAMED A great crowd witnessed the last game of the season on the local gridiron last Friday afternoon. The occasion was made a sort of holiday and practically all the business houses closed during the game which was between the Milan Wildcats and the Unionville Midgets. The Midgets won the game 18-0, but it was not an easy game by any means. … The Midgets play one more game – the Thanksgiving game, which is to be played at Memphis. This will be a hard game, but should be won by the Midgets, according to the dope. Should they win this game they will have won every game played this season with the exception of Kirksville. … ***

THE LUCERNE NEWS Arrangements have been completed whereby Lucerne and vicinity will hereafter have a newspaper. The name of the paper will be, “Lucerne News.” It will be four pages in size, two of which will be devoted entirely to local affairs. The paper is the result of the interest and effort of Rev. C. L. Norman, pastor of the Methodist church there, who has been giving a great deal of time recently to the organization of the work. He will be the editor of the paper, and all information and matters of business connected with the paper should be addressed to him. The publication will be printed at The Republican office, and the date of issue will be Friday of each week. The date of the first issue will be Friday, November 30, and this will mark the resumption of a Lucerne newspaper, discontinued since the beginning of the World War. Through hearty cooperation that community should make the paper a success, and thereby insure their own success. *** THANKSGIVING SERVICE

Thanksgiving is here again. How swiftly the year has rolled by. What have we accomplished in the twelve months? What have we received? To some sorrow has come with the joy and blessings. The Ministerial Alliance of Unionville has planned a program for the morning at the Presbyterian church. All the churches are joining in this service. We ask the community to join in making this Thanksgiving occasion long to be remembered in Unionville. Plan your dinner and social functions so that you may give time and thought for the religious hour and celebration. The program as arranged by the Alliance is as follows: Time of service – 10 a.m. Piano Prelude Doxology Invocation – Rev. John G. Anderson Song – By Choir Scripture Lesson – Rev. Floyd M. Edwards. Song – By Choir Prayer – Rev. Oscar Creech Music – Special Sermon – Rev. W. Morris Blood Song – By Choir Benediction – Rev. J. D. Noland We cordially invite all members and friends of the church to plan to attend this service. – W. Morris Blood, Secretary Ministerial Alliance *** MISSOURI CROPS, NOVEMBER 1923 The farmers of Put-
nam County in preparing their crop report for November say corn will yield 40 bu. per acre, that 89 percent is merchantable, and that the contract or offering price is 75 cents per bushel. … The yield of silage was 6 tons per acre and of sorghum syrup 80 gallons. ** 10 Years Ago This Week [1913] A special election to vote on the question of erecting a $90,000 courthouse has been called by the County Court for December 28. [Ed. Note: Approval for a new courthouse to replace the one torn down 24 years earlier fell short of a majority by 48 votes and the matter wouldn’t be brought before the public until 1923, when a new courthouse was approved.] The post office, telephone office, millinery store and Hawk’s hardware store at Lucerne were destroyed by fire this morning.

MDC Thanks Deer Hunters for Help with CWD Sampling Opening Weekend
MDC collected more than 20,600 tissue samples during opening weekend for CWD testing. Photo source: MDC JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) thanks the thousands of deer hunters who participated in its mandatory sampling efforts in 39 counties this past weekend to test for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in harvested deer. Thanks to hunter participation, MDC collected tissue samples from more than 20,600 hunter-harvested deer for CWD testing on Nov. 11 and 12. CWD sampling consists of MDC staff removing lymph nodes from the necks of harvested deer for testing.
Tissue samples are sent to an independent lab for testing. “We greatly appreciate the many thousands of hunters who brought their deer to mandatory CWD sampling station over the weekend,” said MDC Cervid Program Supervisor Jason Isabelle. “Hunters who provide samples from harvested deer play a critical role in MDC’s efforts to monitor the spread of CWD and identify new areas of infection.” According to MDC, the opening weekend of the November portion of firearms deer season is the most popular two
days for most deer hunters in Missouri. Hunters typically harvest between a quarter to a third of the state’s total annual deer harvest during those two days. Focusing on this key weekend gives MDC the best opportunity to collect the most tissue samples for CWD testing during a very concentrated time period. “Finding CWD as early as possible provides us with the ability to work with landowners and hunters to effectively manage the disease to slow its spread and protect Missouri’s deer population,” Isabelle said. “The high number of samples collected during opening weekend gives us a much better understanding of the distribution and prevalence of the disease — where the disease is located and what percentage of the deer population is affected.” Isabelle noted that MDC collects samples for CWD testing throughout the state each year over the entire deer season. Mandatory sampling is a more intense form of disease surveil-

lance in select CWD Management Zone counties where the greatest potential for new areas of CWD infection exists. Including the recent sampling efforts, MDC has collected more than 263,000 tissue samples for CWD testing since surveillance for the disease began more than 20 years ago. To date, MDC has found 411 confirmed
cases of CWD since the disease was first detected in wild deer in Missouri in 2012. Learn more about CWD surveillance at mdc.mo.gov/cwd. MDC is also 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 partic-
