Conservation readies for fall hunting season Sportsmen urged to clean, check and sight in weapons

issouri hunters are starting to get excited, as the fall hunting season is drawing near.

Avid dove hunters are gearing up now for the opening of the season, which starts Sept. 15.

“Dove is what we call the filet mignon of the sky,” said Daniel Shores, Missouri Department of Conservation agent, who is stationed in Barry County. “It’s really very good.”

But dove is just one of the many fall hunting seasons getting underway in the state. There is the ever-popular deer and turkey seasons as well.

“We issued a total of 20 tickets last year for various violations. And the funny thing is, I’ve never caught anyone poaching because they were hungry. Antlers are the big drive for the catch, and the thrill of getting away with something illegal.”

$3.50. The regular season to take a deer runs from Nov. 15 through Nov. 25.

“There is no antlerless season in Barry County,” Shores said. “It does not exist, but every year, someone will Telecheck a deer.”

Though enforcement is a primary

duty of local conservation agents, they have other tasks as well.

“This time of the year, we are very proactive,” Shields said. “There are fishermen out there doing stuff wrong.

Things change in the fall. We get very reactive. When the phone rings, 24 CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Deer season, with firearms, starts Nov. 15 and continues through Nov. 25 in Missouri.

In Barry County, no antlerless deer may be taken during firearms season. “There is no antlerless season in Barry County,” said Missouri Department of Conservation Agent Daniel Shores. “It doesn’t exist.” Hunters are required to know all regulations in regard to the species and seasons in which they are hunting.

Hunting: Deer harvest down in 2013 mainly due to warm, windy weather

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

hours a day, seven days a week, we have to take care of illegal activity or take possession of injured wildlife.”

That includes poaching, taking illegal deer, landowner fraud or loaning a permit to a friend.

“Common violations involve landowner permits,” Shores said. “These permits are for landowners only. Not friends of the landowner or even relatives. It is limited only to the landowner.

“Another typical violation includes people not having deer tags,” he continued. “Hunters are not only required to have a permit, but to have it on them while they are hunting.

“A hunter can’t loan his permit to his friend. It’s completely illegal. And we have a way to look at the harvest to alert us to this type of activity.”

Shores said hunting regulations change annually, and it is the responsibility of the hunter to keep abreast of those changes before ever hitting the deer woods.

“We issued a total of 20 tickets last year for various violations,” Shores said. “And the funny thing is, I’ve never caught anyone poaching because they were hungry. Antlers are the big drive for the catch, and the thrill of getting away with something illegal.”

In 2013, a total of 1,123 deer total were taken in Barry County, 569 of which were bucks. That number is down from the 2012 totals, in which 1,478 deer were taken, 755 of which were bucks.

“The harvest was down last year because of the warm, windy weather,” Shores said. “That’s not good for deer season. Overall, hunting numbers are also down. I think it’s because our youth haven’t taken the interest in hunting like those in the 1970s and 1980s.”

These days, new hunters are required to complete a hunter education course through the Conservation Department.

The department now offers a condensed, two-part system that allows novices to get their hands-on hunting equipment and firearms. The first part requires prospective students to take either an online course, attend a classroom session or complete a work book on their own.

The second portion of the training is the skills session, wherein youth get to experience different kinds of hunting

equipment and firearms.

Those wishing to receive workbooks may contact the Regional Office in Springfield at 417-895-6880. The classroom session will be offered Oct. 25 at Crowder College in Cassville. Prospective students for the classroom session must sign up on the internet at www.mdc. mo.gov.

The skills portion of the class will take place from 1-5 p.m. on Oct. 25 and 26 at Crowder College in Cassville. After students complete different hands on tasks, they are required to take a 35 question test. Once completed, students will receive a temporary certificate.

With the start of deer season comes the start of mating season. Agents receive many calls about road-killed deer at this time of year.

“Mating season, or rut, takes place September through February,” Shores said. “Just before and during the peak of the rut in November, the urge to mate causes deer to ignore their normal instinct to avoid traffic areas or wait until a car has passed before attempting to cross a road. This lack of caution requires motorists to adjust traveling habits to reduce the risk of deer-vehicle collisions.”

Many times, the motorist who has struck a deer does not want the meat, and the carcass will lay near the roadway for several days. Agents in Barry County are compiling a list of local residents who wish to be notified in the event of a deer-strike so they can retrieve the carcass and have it processed.

“Too often, the deer just has to lie on the side of the road and go to waste,” Shores said. “We plan to compile the list so those interested in having the animal processed can retrieve it in a timely manner, with the understanding they may get called in the early hours of the morning.”

Hunters may also encounter other wildlife challenges in the coming weeks.

“We have a lot of feral hogs in southwest Missouri,” Shores said. “The Conservation Department has set out several traps to catch these animals.”

Feral hogs are known to carry disease, such as brucellosis, an infectious disease caused by bacteria which can spread from animals to people; and pseudorabies, a highly infectious animal dis-

Conservation agents will be out in force, ensuring hunters have their required permits this fall. “The most common violation we have is people not having permits,” said Daniel Shores, Barry County agent for the Missouri Department of Conservation.

“Another common violation is when someone tries to use another individual’s landowner permit,” Shores said. “If that person is not the landowner, the permit is not valid.” Contributed photo ease commonly spread by feral hogs.

Pseudorabies has been reported in other mammals, including brown bears, and black bears, Florida panthers, raccoons, coyotes, and whitetail deer.

“If hunters see one of our traps, we

ask they don’t mess with it, or try to kill a feral hog in the woods,” Shores said.

“The hunter may be able to kill one, but we’re hoping to trap several animals at once.”

Shores said wild hogs can destroy

The Monett Times Midweek crops and wildlife habitat, in addition to spreading disease.

Hunters should also be aware that the black bear population is making a comeback in southwest Missouri, and that killing one can be punishable by a fine up to $1,000 and up to a year in prison.

“We have tagged and collared some females,” Shores said. “We’re tracking

Thursday, September 11, 2014 • Page 7 these animals to see if they are reproducing in this area.”

Black bears are not aggressive and typically want to avoid contact with humans.

“People associate black bears with grizzlies all the time,” Shores said. “But when a black bear stands up, it’s because his vision is poor and he’s trying to see.

He might clack his jaws and sound mean,

but they are definitely non-aggressive.

We urge area residents to keep their cat food and dog food put away and keep their property clear of garbage in order not to attract bears to their property.

“If one is confronted by a black bear, they should clap their hands and make a lot of noise to encourage it to leave the area,” Shores said. “Better yet, just leave the bear alone.”

One might also have a chance encounter with a mountain lion, easily identified by its black-tipped ears and tail.

“People are terrified of mountain lions,” Shores said. “These are generally juvenile males looking to establish their own territories, and there is not a huge number of them around this part of the state. We’ve had no confirmed sightings in Barry County, probably because if one has passed thorough, it has moved on.

People are also concerned that mountain

lions will attack their cattle. That’s not true. They are elusive animals and tend to avoid populated areas. As long as game is plentiful, there is no cause for concern.”

Shores urges hunters to be cautious when out in the woods.

“Make sure weapons have been checked, clean and sighted in for a quick, clean kill,” Shores said. “Once an animal is injured, it goes off to die slowly and painfully. Hunters are required to track animals they have injured, but some don’t. That is a pet peeve for serious sportsmen, the wanton wasting of an animal.”

For more information on hunting regulations in Missouri, a pamphlet is available at the counter of most sports departments and retail outlets. For other questions, contact Shores at 417-229-4706 or Conservation Agent Dan Vanderhoef at 417-342-5579.

Missouri hunters should be wary of wild hogs roaming the woods. “They’re an issue in Barry County,” said Daniel Shores, a Barry County Conservation agent. “They destroy crops, spread disease and will destroy wildlife habitat.” Agents are actively trapping wild hogs for eradication.

Black bear numbers are once again on the rise in southwest Missouri. “People confuse our black bears with grizzlies,” said Barry County Conservation Agent Daniel Shores. “They are nothing like a grizzly. They are not aggressive and when they stand up, they are trying to see better. Their eyesight is poor. We urge people to leave them alone. If you want them to move out of the area, clap your hands and make noise.”

It is a felony in Missouri to shoot a black bear, and violators can be subject to a fine of up to $1,000 and a one-year jail sentence for shooting and killing a black bear.

Efforts are being made to place radio collars on female black bears in southwest Missouri, to track their movements and try to determine if bears are breeding and denning in the area. To prevent black bears from wandering around residential areas, people are urged to pick up and dispose of garbage and keep dog food locked up.

Daniel Shores, pictured, was one of several conservationists who participated in a bear-tagging event. Hunters are reminded that shooting a black bear is a felony, and to give the bears a wide berth when in the woods. Contributed photo

The Scales of Justice “Because the People Must Know.”

represent fairness. Everyone involved in a case begins on equal standing. A Judge has the difficult task of making decisions to keep the scales in balance. Decisions are made by weighing the facts and law in each case.

The Associate Circuit Court Judge Division II is responsible for criminal cases, probate and guardianship estates, civil disputes, and family law.

The next Judge must have experience in all these areas of law to properly rule on evidence, comply with court rules, manage trials and, above all, insure fairness to all.

Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved.

Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices.

From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.

Randee Stemmons has the experience. * Associate Circuit Court Judge in the Municipal Divisions of Aurora, Mt. Vernon, Verona and six other towns. *Private practice in Mt. Vernon for 31 years emphasizing probate, guardianship, civil and family law. *Prosecuting Attorney for 14 years; a part-time position that allowed her to continue her general practice.

He gets home before I do and stays in his room watching TV and piddling around on the computer. He never comes out to say hello when I get home; I go in there and greet him.

He comes out when I have dinner fixed and then returns to his room.

I understand the “man cave” thing.

Everyone needs their time and space, but this has become an everyday routine. I have tried to tell him I feel ignored. The next night he’ll come into the living room and watch TV with me, but I feel he’s doing it only because he feels he should, not because he wants to.

Is this my clue that he doesn’t care about sharing time with me anymore? I don’t want to beg for his attention.—LONELY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR LONELY: It appears that way.

You refer to the room in which your husband watches TV and uses his computer as “his” room and not a den.

Does he also sleep in there? If that’s the case, and the only time you spend together is at the dinner table,

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY your marriage is in suspended animation.

If what he’s watching on television or his computer has become a substitute for having a relationship with you—and that’s what it appears—you need to find out what happened to the intimacy you once shared. What you have described is a platonic roommate relationship and not a healthy marriage.

If you want to change the dynamics, you are going to have to have some serious conversations with your husband about what your needs are, and also his. Start now.

DEAR ABBY: My parents immigrated here from a foreign country 20 years ago.

Although they speak some basic English, they have yet to become even remotely fluent in the language.

As a result, they are always asking me to do everything for them— pay their bills, file their taxes, go with them to doctors’ appointments, translate for deliv-

ery people and take my mom on errands because she doesn’t drive. I am irritated.

When will they learn English? I am the CHILD, not the parent. I feel like I have been a mini-adult for many years as their personal chauffeur, secretary, interpreter, etc. I don’t mind doing occasional favors for them, but enough is enough. What should I do?—BEYOND FRUSTRATED IN CHICAGO DEAR BEYOND FRUSTRATED: I think you should take into consideration that learning a new language is much easier for children than it is for adults. You were immersed in English when you went to school and were exposed to it not only

in the classroom but also on the playground.

Your parents weren’t so lucky. They should have enrolled in an ESL class right away, but instead apparently interacted only with people who spoke their language.

However, it’s never too late to make an effort, so encourage them to start NOW. A way to persuade them would be to ask them what they would do if, heaven forbid, something happened to you.

Some people who have picked up English did so by watching English language television instead of what’s aired in their own.

You are not alone in having this problem.

The children of every ethnic group that has come to the United States has experienced what you are.

Fox attempting to break new ground with ‘Utopia’

BY DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — It appears as if almost anything might be possible in “Utopia.”

Whether its ensuring participants can legally hunt, readying for wildfires or accounting for an impending pregnancy, the masterminds behind the new Fox unscripted society-building series have prepared for every possible situation at the rural compound where they’re filming “Utopia.” Except for one: What if nobody watches?

That’s not a scenario the creators of this human ant farm even want to consider.

“Realistically, I don’t know,” conceded executive producer Conrad Green in his trailer office across from the “Utopia” set a few days before the participants — or “pioneers,” as they’re called — moved onto a made-over Santa Clarita, California, ranch that’s often used as a location in films and TV shows. “The hope, of course, is that it will be a huge success and go on for much more than a year.”

Based on a Dutch format, the U.S. version of “Utopia” is billed as a 365-daylong social experiment where 15 folks have

been selected to live and work together on a bare-bones plot of land while being filmed by 130 cameras. Unlike similar reality TV trials like “Survivor” and “Big Brother,” there’s no host, competition or prize. There aren’t even humans carrying around cameras.

The action is captured entirely by remote-controlled gizmos positioned in trees, on rocks and throughout the only pair of buildings on the “Utopia” site: a small stable stocked with a chicken coop and two dairy cows, and a large open-air barn where the cast can find shade and sleep. The footage will be overseen, edited and streamed from a complex of trailers steps away from the set.

Green said the producers cast Utopians with contrasting personalities in hopes that the ambitious show wouldn’t simply result in a televised “hippy commune.”

The pioneers include a belly dancer, Southern pastor and a pregnant woman due in December. The series will feature a monthly elimination that will keep the cast changing throughout the life of “Utopia.”

“My biggest fear is that it’s boring,” said Green. “The reason unscripted shows are heavily formatted is because that provides

reliable, relentless moments of drama...

We have to use the intimacy and purity of the observation we’ve established to make it interesting in and of itself.”

“Utopia,” which debuts Sunday before airing each Tuesday and Friday, marks an audacious gambit for Fox. The network has seen ratings for aging talent contests like “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance” slide in recent years.

Simon Andreae, the new head of alternative entertainment at the network, isn’t afraid of taking a chance on the “Truman Show”-like series.

“I think we live in a go-big-or-go-home world now, where if you don’t take risks, if you go for safe shows, you don’t get many big wins, as we’ve seen in the last year or so of unscripted TV,” said Andreae. “That said, I don’t think it’s just any old big risk.

It’s a measured risk.”

Despite lofty aspirations, “Utopia” won’t be boundless. The cast must abide by laws, and they’ve agreed not to leave the compound unless there’s an emergency or they want off the show. While fences surround the “Utopia” camp, producers are planning for future visits from pioneers’ friends and families, as well as appoint-

ments if they choose to do business with the outside world.

The unique series marks not just a creative risk for Fox but also a financial gamble. The network reportedly spent $50 million to construct the “Utopia” site, which also includes a small man-made lake stocked with 400 fish, a phony water tower that actually holds a light used to illuminate the compound at night and access for the cast to electricity and plumbing.

“It has been an expensive undertaking, but it’s the reverse of most shows,” noted Andreae. “Usually, shows become more expensive the more episodes and seasons are produced. This show was expensive to build out in the first place, but the longer it goes on, the less expensive it becomes.”

“Utopia” has already been home to plenty of drama, judging from the show’s live streams, which went online last week: one cast member was removed before filming began for violating the show’s confidentiality agreement, another was treated at a hospital for dehydration before returning; and several have threatened to leave over clashes involving food, alcohol and religion.

Welcome to “Utopia.”

that unite the voices of kids, parents, educators, celebrities and government officials, each committing to speak up when someone gets bullied.

Selected videos from participants will become part of campaign spots appearing on Cartoon Network, its digital platforms and Boomerang through October, the network said in making its announcement Thursday. It also will air public-service announcements with anti-bullying themes, and each day an onscreen “I Speak Up” tally will update how many participants have officially gone on record with videos and posts. (The website includes directions for sharing an “I Speak Up” video.)

Joining in the outreach are partner organizations including Boys and Girls Clubs of America, 4-H Clubs, the AntiDefamation League, the American

Federation of Teachers and the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention.

“We think it will be incredibly empowering for kids to know that a million people out there are speaking up for them,” says Alice Cahn, Cartoon Network vice president of social responsibility.

While the video campaign is new this year, the network’s anti-bullying initiative began in 2010. According to Cahn, it arose from research by the network in which kids said, among all the things that bothered them, that bullying could be most easily addressed — if they only had others’ support.

Among the kids’ messages, according to Cahn: “It’s not so much that I’m getting picked on, but I feel so terrible when my friends are picked on and I don’t know what to do.”

Cartoon Network’s year-round “I

Speak Out” website provides information resources for kids, parents and educators, all of whom may be primed to intervene when a bully strikes, but may not always know the best way to take action. (Turns out, even if direct confrontation isn’t realistic for a kid, a gesture after the fact can be powerful: When the bullying is over, say something nice to the kid who was bullied.)

The campaign targets youngsters of elementary grades through early middle school, Cahn says, when getting bully-savvy can serve them well into high school and beyond.

“When we give them the right social and emotional grounding, it stays with them,” she says. “We want to give kids confidence and competence when bullying happens, and to let them know they’re not the only one.”

Latest anti-bullying crusade calls for the public to speak up

BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — Are you ready to speak up against bullying?

Cartoon Network is challenging the public to clear its throat and tell the world “I speak up” in a chorus of 1 million videos. Participants are invited to declare those three words into their mobile devices and share their videos at www.

StopBullyingSpeakUp.com, as well as to their own social media platforms using the hashtag ISpeakUp. The drive is kicking off Cartoon Network’s annual Stop Bullying: Speak Up campaign, which will culminate during its Speak Up Week, Sept. 29 through Oct. 3 — which in turn paves the way for National Bullying Prevention Month in October.

The goal, as Cartoon Network puts it: To collect 1 million user-generated videos
