Director of Nursing, Carma Wheeler, RN, states that the Department has been notified of 24 new confirmed cases in the county since last week. Statewide, there have been approximately 4,500 laboratory confirmed cases of influenza this season. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that influenza cases are peaking in nearly every region of the State. Residents that have not yet received a flu vaccination this year are encouraged to do so now. In light of the new influenza activity in the area, the HCHD will be providing another opportunity for Howell County residents to attend an upcoming flu vaccination clinic. The clinic is scheduled for Monday, January 23, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the Howell County Health Department, 180 Kentucky in West Plains.

HOEC members may hear from ‘Scam Artist’ Often we hear about people being scammed. Those who have been victims of scammers have spoken to someone on the phone who claimed to be someone they are not. In turn, dollars have been taken from innocent people who think they are paying a bill or buying a product or service. Unfortunately, scammers are out after their own interest and use shady tactics. At Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative (HOEC), we have heard from some of our corporate members of the cooperative who have received such calls and we are looking out for you. To help be protected from scammers, who may claim to be from HOEC or other familiar business interests, we encourage you to simply slam down the phone if you suspect something isn’t right. We call this “Slam the Scam”! If anyone calls you and says they are calling on behalf of HOEC and you think it may not be us calling, slam down the phone and give us a call. When you call us, we will verify if it was our service people calling. We do not want our members to be taken advantage of. Together, we can stop scammers with “Slam the Scam”.

Willow Springs community in Suspect identified in officer-involved shock after tragic loss of teen shooting by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com
The community of Willow Springs is in shock after the death of a local 17-year-old female was reported on Thursday, January 19. Investigator Don Reid with the Howell County Sheriff’s Department reported that on Thursday, January 19 deputies were called to the area of State Route N in Pomona around 2:24 p.m. for the report of a death. “It’s a terrible tragedy,”
Liberty Sports
stated Willow Springs School District Superintendent Dr. Derrick Hutsell. “She was a great, fun loving kid, very independent. She was well loved by the staff and students here. She had a lot of friends.” Kassie Cody was a Senior at Willow Springs High School. She was involved with the FFA, color-guard, was a former cheerleader and was a member of the South Central Career Center in West Plains in the auto body class. Dr. Hutsell commented that on Friday, January 20 as students were returning to school
after hearing the news, the district had extra counselors on hand. “We brought in what we call our care team consisting of extra counselors, local pastors and youth pastors from area churches. We wanted the opportunity for all students to share and grieve during this time. Our focus is on the family and other siblings in the district along with our student body. We have a tight-knit community and they are all healing together,” Dr. Hutsell said. A memorial service was held on Sunday, January 22 at the Westside Family Life Cen-
ter in Willow Springs. Memorial contributions may be made to the family and can be left at Robertson-Drago Funeral Home in West Plains. All information contained in this article was obtained through first-hand interviews and reports from the Howell County Sheriff’s Department who led the investigation.
JV wins championship, varsity falls short in double OT by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It couldn’t have been any closer. The Liberty Eagles were just one basket away from seeing both the Varsity and Junior Varsity take first
place trophies at the 46th Annual Liberty Invitational Tournament last week. The JV did their part with a surprisingly dominating victory over Thayer in the JV Championship on Saturday afternoon, but in the final game of the night, the varsity Eagles

Filings for city, school board positions closes Filing has closed for seats on the Mtn. View City Council and the Mtn. View-Birch Tree R-III School District Board of Education. Filings were held December 13, 2016 and continued through January 17, 2017. Filing for the two open seats for the Mtn.

Vines has served on the school board since April 2005.

your mouth, but we did some good things. We played really well against Winona, that’s a team we beat by five the first time and handled them pretty convincingly the second time, but we have competitive kids and they have high expectations for themselves. When you fall a little short it makes it hard to enjoy the good that happened.” Liberty and Thayer were on a collision course all week. The number-one seed Bobcats had no problem with Summersville, cruising to a 74-18 victory in the firstround. They out-fought Eminence in the second-round, putting the Redwings away with a 52-41 win. For their part the Liberty Eagles took care of business against a tougher-than-expected Koshkonong team 67-29, and put together an impressive 74-42 victory over Winona. None See Eagles on Page 2
Rep. Jason Smith discusses broken tax code with concerned local residents Congressman Jason Smith (MO-08) held a tax roundtable at the West Plains Civic Center with area tax professionals, business owners, farmers and individuals to discuss the problems they continue to experience with the current tax code as well as the solutions they would like to see Congress and the Trump Administration work to implement. “I appreciate all of the folks who took time out of their busy schedules to sit down with me and discuss their ideas about how to make our tax code work better for all families, farmers and businesses in southeast and south central Missouri. Our current tax code is broken, too long and simply unfair. American taxpayers and businesses are suffering under the weight of a tax system that has expanded to impose excessive burdens that are restricting opportu-

nity and economic freedom,” Congressman Smith stated. He continued, “However, we are at a pivotal moment right now with President-elect Trump being sworn in this week where we have an opportunity to make progrowth tax reform a reality in 2017. President-elect Trump understands that we need a fairer and flatter tax system that gets the IRS off of the back of families and farmers
and makes American companies more competitive. Fixing our country’s broken tax code is at the top of mine and President-elect Trump’s list of priorities this year and I look forward to working along-side our new President starting next week to create a tax system that works best for families, farmers, and businesses across southeast and south central Missouri.” Congressman Smith
serves on the influential Ways and Means Committee which has jurisdiction over taxation policy as well as federal healthcare and trade policy. The Ways and Means Committee is charged with reviewing current international Trade Agreements and producing a simpler, fairer, and flatter tax system that gets the IRS off the back and out of the lives of American families and farmers.
in Columbia
At approximately 2:20 p.m. on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, officers with the Columbia Police Department attempted to stop a black sedan on North Oakland Gravel Road east of Alfalfa Drive in Columbia, MO. Once the vehicle came to a stop, two females exited the vehicle, and a suspect fired one shot from inside. Two Columbia police officers discharged their firearms and a male suspect was found deceased inside the vehicle. Neither the officers nor anyone else was injured. The male suspect has been identified as Troy Bateman, 35, from Marshall, MO. Bateman was being sought by law enforcement authorities regarding an active parole violation warrant for burglary. Bateman was also wanted for questioning in reference to the assault on a law enforcement officer after exchanging gunfire with a Missouri state trooper in Saline County, MO, on January 13, 2017, and fleeing the See MSHP on Page 10

Eagles of that really mattered however, when it came time for the championship game against a Bobcats team that has seemed to have the Eagles number this year. “When you’re in this competitive of a setting it’s just hard to be happy with getting better,” explained Walker, “You want to be able to beat the teams like Thayer. They’re a good team there’s no doubt about it. They’re ranked in the top ten of their class and they’ve lost to Jackson, which is a bigger school and they’ve lost to Licking. Those are two good losses, so it just comes down

From Page One to whether or not we can keep the process moving forward. And if we can, there’ll be some good things happen for us.” Those good things began to show up against Winona on Thursday. The Wildcats had given Liberty a battle at the Cabool Holiday Tournament, but this time, the Eagles made it look easy even with their leading scorer Shalin Stout out due to illness. Especially given the circumstances, Walker was happy with the way the Eagles responded. “In the two games that (Shalin) played he had 23 and

Francis hits 1,000th career point
1,000th Career Point - Piper Francis is all smiles as she poses for the cameras after receiving her 1,000th career point plaque. Francis has done something that few athletes have achieved during their high school career ... and she’s only a sophomore. Francis shot and made her 1,000th point during her 45th game as the Lady Eagles defeated the Alton Lady Comets on Friday, January 20 75-74. For the game, Francis had a total of 38 points.

22,” said Walker, “That’s pretty difficult to replace. In the game we didn’t have him, we had several different people step up in different ways and it’s not just on the scoreboard. We handled Winona on the glass. There was a lot of different people doing a lot of things that they needed to do.” One of those players was Josh Pruett who led the team against Winona with 24 points. Pruett averaged 13 for the tournament. Mathew Coatney had an impressive week, averaging just over 13 points a game, and was right behind Pruett against Winona, finishing with 19 in that game. Brenton Bush also turned in his best game of the tournament against Winona, finishing with 16 points, and was second only to Stout against Koshkonong with 14 points. In the championship against Thayer, the Eagles had three players in double figures. Stout led with 22 points, most of those coming in the second half, and Coatney and Andrew Holden finished with 10 points each. It was a slow start for Liberty in the first-half against Thayer, something the Bobcats have done to a lot of teams this season, but a change in defense was part of a big turnaround in the third quarter.
“We were able to make a nice run on them going man to man in the second half, and we played (man-to-man defense) the entire second half,” explained Walker, “It allowed us to outscore them 23-9 in the third quarter. Our offense was pretty patient. We were able to take the last shot of regulation, and we had the ball last in the first overtime. We were able to make some nice adjustments defensively to get some things accomplished and we just have to keep building on that.” The Eagles just need one more basket, but after scoring 23 in the third quarter, the Bobcats were able to slow Liberty to just eight points in the fourth. That allowed the Bobcats to tie and take the game into overtime. Only Stout and Coatney put up any points in the overtime periods. Stout had eight points on four baskets, while Coatney sank two more shots. The Eagles did not shoot from the free-throw line in either overtime period, while the Bobcats went to the line seven different times. Thayer was only 6 of 12 from the line, but it was enough to give them the 6765 championship victory. The tournament itself had some great moments, especially for the Liberty JV, who

dominated all week long, including a 52-33 drubbing of the JV Thayer Bobcats in the championship. The JV side of the tournament was more sparse than usual this time around. Both the Eagles and the Bobcats had first-round byes, and didn’t play until Thursday. Liberty’s JV was too much for Winona Thursday night, and Thayer cruised past Alton. That set up a championship showdown, but the Eagles JV were simply playing at a higher level than anyone in the tournament. Liberty steadily pulled away all afternoon and took the championship trophy with ease. Things were much busier on the Varsity side with a full slate of games all week. On Monday, Thayer dispatched eighth seed Summersville in the first game of the evening. Grant Dyer led Eminence with 27 points as the Redwings put the Alton Comets away 69-58. Tuesday night, the Eagles crushed Koshkonong, while Winona put Houston away. The Wildcats jumped out to a 34-18 first half lead and held on during a furious fourth quarter rally by Houston. It was the highest scoring quarter of the tournament as Houston poured on 33 points and Winona added 28 themselves to hold on for a 78-64 victory. After Thursday victories by both Thayer and Liberty to set up the championship game, Friday rolled around with games on the left side of the brackets. Alton’s JV won the JV Consolation game with a win over Summersville. The varsity Comets had little problem
Summersville as well, taking a 74-45 victory to advance to the varsity Consolation game. The best game of the night was a surprising upset by Koshkonong over Houston. The Bluejays advanced to play Alton after defeating Houston 44-42, and nearly followed with another upset on Saturday, falling short against Alton 73-68 as the Comets won the Consolation game. Saturday, the Eminence Redwings put together and impressive victory over Winona to win the third place game. Ethan Drake led the team with 23 points. But all eyes soon went to the Championship and a double-overtime thriller almost gave the Eagles their second first-place trophy of the day. But before the drama of overtime, Liberty got off to a slow start. “We took some silly shots early, at least four of them off one pass or less that just shouldn’t have been taken,” explained Walker, “We missed some wide-open shots that we should have been able to hit. Defensively we didn’t get anything going to disrupt them. Second half we went man and were able to get some stops put together and make a nice run. We’re still in the process of trying to do the things we need to do to win at a high level. This was just part of it. We trying to do things at the level we’re capable of doing it. It’s not easy to do those things. We’re still taking steps forward.” For the varsity Eagles, they are about one basket away.

Right to Work Closer to Becoming a Reality for Missouri This week we watched as our new governor delivered his first State of the State address and learned the priorities we have ahead of us this legislative session. One priority of the governor, as well as myself and many in the General Assembly, is making Missouri a Right to Work state. Currently Missouri is 47th in the nation in job growth, development and attracting a workforce. Passage of workers’ choice legislation would allow businesses the opportunity to create better jobs with growing incomes leading to stronger economic growth. For the past several years, the previous governor vetoed our economic development ideas and legislation, and with the new administration I am optimistic we have the opportunity to make Missouri a pro-worker, pro-business environment. This week Senate Bill 19 was heard in the Senate General Laws Committee. The bill would prohibit employers from requiring their employees or barring their employees from becoming a member of a labor organization or union as a condition of employment. Any person that wants to work in Missouri should not be required to join a union in order to keep or get a job. Several states have passed Right to Work legislation and seen an increase in jobs, union membership and increased wages including Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. All of the states immediately surrounding Missouri, with the exception of Illinois, have passed Right to Work laws. The 22 states that passed Right to Work laws before 2012 have some of the largest economic growth. Right to Work states had more than 17 percent average growth between 2004 and 2014. During the same time period, states without Right to Work only experienced 11.5 percent growth. Research has shown that the top states for new manufacturing jobs, the states with lower unemployment rates and more private sector job growth are Right to Work states. I believe it is imperative that we pass this legislation. Our state has to become more competitive with the states that surround us. We are losing far too many jobs to other states and we must work to correct this. By becoming a Right to Work state, Missouri will be a better environment for business and for Missourian’s looking to raise a family and thrive in the Show Me State. I will be voting in favor of this legislation and remain hopeful that we send it to the governor’s desk during this session. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

Shannon Wallace Ennis ters, TX, he served as Acting Master Tech Sargeant during the German Occupation. Shannon came back home to graduate from Eminence High School in 1947. After high school graduation, Shannon attended the University of Missouri for a semester. He then traveled and worked various jobs. He was dating Dorothy who was teaching at Big Cedar Hill School. Dorothy had appendicitis and Shannon was her substitute teacher. This was Shannon’s first teaching assignment, an experience that made him decide to pursue a career in education. Shannon and Dorothy went to college at Southwest Baptist College in the summer of 1949, and returned back to Shannon county to teach at Carr’s Creek for that school term. Every summer they went to college, and every school term they had teaching assignments. Shannon also taught at Mill Creek (which is now Peck Ranch), Munsell, House’s Creek, and Summersville. Shannon graduated from Southwest Baptist with an Associate’s Degree in 1951. He graduated from Southwest Missouri State in 1955 with his Bachelors Degree. He earned his master degree in Administration from Drury in 1962. In 1954, when Shannon was 28, he was elected Shannon County School Superintendant. He held that position for 12 years, as it was phased out. He consolidated many oneroom schools into Eminence, Winona, and Birch Tree. After County Superintendent, Shannon was employed by the Ozark Bi-Cultural Center for 2 years. This was a federally funded project to document Ozark education and culture. In 1969, Shannon was hired as Eminence R-I Public Schools Superintendent. He held that position for 24 years until he retired in 1993. He was tireless advocate of Eminence and kept the school financially strong as he grew educational programs. Shannon visited the State Department of Education in Jefferson City regularly and made sure the legislator knew the needs of small schools. He was appointed to the Voca-
tional Advisory Board of the State of Missouri. Shannon always stopped at Army surplus to see if there was anything there that the schools might use. He made sure the cooks had what they needed to provide exceptional lunches for students. He knew the needs of this community and he never stopped trying to provide for the students. Shannon would visit the homes of students who were truant. He got most of them back to school. He knew that was the way to better lives. Shannon always held higher education as a way to better a life. Shannon received several honors upon his retirement, thanking him for his 45 years of service in education. He has touched many lives during those 45 years plus the 20 years since retirement. Who could begin to estimate the number? Many people have a story to tell about how Shannon has influenced their lives. Since retiring, Shannon has continued to be a part of the community that he loved. His favorite pastime during garden season was handing out homegrown tomatoes, peppers, okra, turnips, or many other items he grew. He spent every November at deer camp and every spring in the turkey woods. Highlights: Dr. John Robinson of the US Department of Education in Washington, DC appeared at the Eminence Schools and announced that he was doing a 5-year audit of Eminence Schools for Federal Impact Aid. When he finished the 3-day audit, he asked Shannon if he could tell President Ronald Reagan that he should hire him as a Federal Budget Officer. Shannon said fine, he would go if the President called him. President Reagan didn’t call!! Dr. Arvil Bunch was a former Shannon County Superintendent. He then became the Director of Army Worldwide Education. He asked Shannon to be his assistant. Shannon declined to remain in Shannon County. In lieu of Flowers the family requests that a donation be made to the Shannon and Dorothy Ennis Scholarship Fund. This Scholarship will be a part of the BEST Foundation. “Bettering Eminence Schools For Tomorrow.” BEST is a 501C3 Foundation. Checks should be made out to Best Foundation, in memory of Shannon Ennis and mailed to BEST Foundation, PO Box 730, Eminence, MO 65466. Online condolences can be sent to www.duncanfuneralhomes.com

Since January 1, 2017 there have been 31 people arrested for varying offenses including warrants, citations and holds. There are currently 23 incarcerated in the Douglas County Jail. On January 5, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at the Charles Kessler residence in Douglas County and seized 44 grams of methamphetamine and a large quantity of cash. Charles Kessler, age 38, was arrested on an active Probation and Parole warrant and has charges pending. He is currently being held on P&P warrant with no bond with other charges pending. This investigation lead to the service of a search warrant on January 7. Officers from the Wright and Douglas County Sheriff’s Offices, Hartville Police Department, South Central Drug Task Force and Comet Drug Task Force served a search warrant at the Lynda Sheets residence located south of Mansfield on Hwy. U in Wright County. Evidence had been obtained that led us to this residence which was being used to sell large amounts marijuana and methamphetamine. Officers arrived at approximately 1830 hours at the residence and took several people into custody. A search was conducted of the residence and the following items were located: half a pound of methamphetamine, three and a half pounds of process marijuana, two hand guns, one rifle, $17,500 cash in which $900 was found to be counterfeit. A 12-year-old female that was there at the time of the search warrant was removed from the house and placed in the Custody of the Missouri Children’s Division.

Eight more people were arrested at the residence with possible charges to be filed on them. The above arrests are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of these charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. This has been an on-going investigation for some time and things finally came together to take these people off the streets. On January 9, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received information of a pursuit involving a vehicle and the Wright County Sheriff’s Office which was headed into our county on Old 5 Highway. Sheriff Degase and Sgt. Johnson responded to the area of Old 5 Highway to assist. This vehicle proceeded to lead officers on a high speed pursuit before crashing near Mansfield after spike strips were deployed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The driver, Brett Anthony, age 36, then fled on foot. Anthony placed many motorists on the roads in danger as well as law enforcement. On January 10, Anthony was discovered at a residence in the Brushyknob area just after noon. Officers from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Wright County Sheriff’s Office, Mtn. Grove Police Department and Missouri Conservation Department went to the residence where Anthony, along with his girlfriend, Cassey Dobbs, was believed to be. Anthony attempted to flee out of a side door of the residence, however, he was met by numerous officers that had walked in and surrounded the residence. A Taser was deployed in order to take Anthony into custody. Anthony is currently being held on P&P warrant with no bond with charges in Wright County as well. Anthony faces additional charges from the pursuit and his subsequent arrest. Cassey Dobbs, age 36 of Mansfield is currently being held on a Douglas County Warrant for probation violation with no bond. Good job goes out to Douglas and Wright County Sheriff’s Offices, Mountain Grove and Mansfield Police Departments, Mark Henry and Justin Emery with the Missouri Department of Conservation. It was a great team effort by all. I would like to personally thank all of the agencies involved for their assistance in both of these cases.

February is Heart Month, OMC announces events for the community How to Guard Against Medicare Fraud
In honor of American Heart Month in February, Ozarks Medical Center is offering several free educational events and heart health screenings. West Plains Mayor Jack Pahlmann has signed a proclamation declaring February as Heart Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Protection, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. One in every four deaths in the United States is the result of heart disease. Symptoms include chest discomfort, discomfort in other areas of the upper body including one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach, and shortness of breath. Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. “OMC is one of only nine hospitals in the state of Missouri with an accredited Chest Pain Center. If a person exhibits symptoms of chest pain, 911 should be called. Early intervention improves outcomes, which is why we have the saying ‘Time lost is muscle lost’ when it comes to heart attack,” said Dr. Kevin Crowe, Interventional Cardiologist at OMC. “Listen to your heart. It may be trying to tell you something. Receiving prompt medical attention is crucial if you are suffering from a heart attack. If you experience any of the symptoms listed above, dial 911. The longer you wait, the greater your chances are of having irreversible heart damage or potentially not surviving your heart attack. When you use 911, you receive quick assessment and care as soon as emergency medical responders arrive. OMC is alerted so our specialized cardiac team is ready to continue your care as soon as you come through our doors,” according to Devon Emerson, Director of Cardiopulmonary Services.” At OMC, we are
Dear Savvy Senior, What are the steps seniors need to take if they suspect Medicare fraud? Suspicious Sandy Dear Sandy, Medicare fraud costs taxpayers more than $60 billion every year, making it one of the most profitable crimes in America. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips for preventing, detecting and reporting it, if it happens to you. What is Medicare fraud? In a nutshell, Medicare fraud happens when Medicare is purposely billed for services or supplies that were never provided or received. Here are a few examples of some different types Medicare fraud that’s out there: • A healthcare provider bills Medicare for services you never received. • A supplier bills Medicare for equipment you never got. • Someone uses your Medicare card to get medical care, supplies, or equipment. • A company offers a Medicare drug plan that has not been approved by Medicare. • A company uses false information to mislead you into joining a Medicare plan. What You Can Do The best way for you to spot Medicare fraud is to review your quarterly Medicare Summary Notices (MSN) or your Explanation of Benefits (EOB). Be on the lookout for things like charges for medical services, medications or equipment you didn’t get, dates of services and charges that look unfamiliar, or if you were billed for the same thing twice. You can also check your Medicare claims early online at MyMedicare.gov (you’ll need to create an account first), or by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. If you do spot any unusual or questionable charges, your first step is to contact your doctor or health care provider. The charge may just be a simple billing error. If, however, you can’t resolve the problem with the provider, your next step is to report the questionable charges to Medicare at 800-633-4227, or to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General Fraud hotline at 800447-8477. When you call in, have the MSN or EOB with the questionable charges handy because you’ll need to provide them with the following information: your Medicare card number; the physician, supplier, and/or facility name where the service was supposedly provided; the date the service was rendered; the payment amount approved and paid by Medicare; as well as the reason you think Medicare shouldn’t have paid. As an incentive, if the suspicious activity you report turns out to be fraud, you may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. If you need help identifying or reporting Medicare fraud or resolving your Medicare billing errors, contact your state Senior Medicare Patrol program, which provides free assistance. Go to smpresource.org or call 877-808-2468 for contact information. Protect Yourself To help you protect yourself from becoming a victim of Medicare fraud, you need to guard your Medicare card like you would your credit cards, and don’t ever give your Medicare or Social Security number to strangers. Also, don’t ever give out your personal information to someone who calls or comes to your home uninvited to get you to join a Medicare plan. Medicare will never call or visit your home to sell you anything. It’s also a smart idea to keep records of your doctor visits, tests, and procedures so you can compare them with any suspicious charges on your MSN or EOB.

Applicants are not required to live in the local area, but anyone chosen for the program must be capable of reporting daily to the job location. The Youth Conservation Corps is a paid summer work program for youth, both male and female, and it helps develop an understanding and appreciation of the environment. The program offers summer employment for eight weeks on Mark Twain National Forest at the Ava and Poplar Bluff Ranger Districts. Enrollees will be paid minimum wage, $7.65 per hour, for a 40-hour work week and will work from May 30, 2017 through July 21, 2017. Projects will include building trails, clerical/office support, maintaining and cleaning up campgrounds, and improving wildlife habitat. The program will select for hire, through a random drawing, three enrollees for the Ava Ranger District, and four enrollees for the Poplar Bluff Ranger District. Each selected applicant must provide work boots, proper
work clothes and their own lunches. Applicants need to be prepared for hard physical work in an outdoor environment under potential adverse weather conditions and rough terrain. They will also provide their own daily transportation to the assigned Forest Service work location—usually meeting at the District Office in the morning, where they will carpool in a Forest Service vehicle to go into the field on most days. If you are the appropriate age for the program and would like to work outdoors, please complete the YCC application form and return it to the Forest Service office in Ava or Poplar Bluff, or to Jane Mobley, by April 17, 2017.

Owl Prowl to be held at Ozark National Scenic Riverways “Whooo is out there?” Owls have fascinated mankind for centuries, from the wise owl of the Greek goddess Athena to Winnie the
Pooh’s friend. To learn more about these creatures of the night, join rangers from Ozark National Scenic Riverways on an Owl Prowl at
5:30 p.m. on Friday, February 10, beginning at the Alley Spring General Store. We’ll learn fact and folklore about these little under-

Work continues to remove feral hogs Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wildlife biologists on the feral hog strike team have tallied up numbers for 2016. The year yielded a total of 5,358 feral hogs removed by MDC, partner agencies, and private landowners, which is a significant increase over efforts the previous year. In 2015, 3,649 feral hogs were removed from the landscape. Some attributing factors in the increase include MDC’s “Report, don’t shoot” message to encouraging trapping, banning hog hunting on conservation areas, and a strong public awareness campaign. Southeast Missouri trapped 2,941 feral hogs, which is where the highest density of feral hogs occurs. The Ozark region trapped 1,293 while the Southwest region trapped 1,006 hogs. St. Louis, Central and Kansas City regions all trapped fewer than 100 feral hogs each. Alan Leary, MDC’s Wildlife Management Coordinator and leader of the Department’s feral hog eradication efforts said although the goal is to eradicate feral hogs in the state, a more immediate goal is to keep the feral hog population from spreading to those northern regions. “We made significant progress in 2016,” said Leary. “The key to eradicating these destructive, invasive pests is cooperation with private landowners and partners in efforts
to report hog sightings, continue trapping and deter hog hunting and the illegal release of hogs.” In 2016, MDC partnered with other conservation groups, agriculture organizations, and the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation to provide the state’s feral hog strike team with more trapping equipment for use on both private and public land, and to fund public education efforts on the dangers of feral hogs. MDC increased communication efforts, bolstering an already active feral hog communications campaign with statewide media efforts on agricultural news stations. Through this campaign, the public heard from private landowners who suffered hog damage and are working with MDC and USDA to eradicate feral hogs. They also helped spread the message to “Report, don’t shoot” feral hogs. Landowners are also learning that it’s much easier to get rid of feral hogs if you trap the whole sounder, rather than allow hunting and only shooting one or two, he said. While hunting is a very effective tool for managing populations of wildlife, feral hogs are not wildlife and the goal is to remove them. Killing feral hogs for sport hinders efforts to eradicate them for several reasons. “Some hunters intentionally release feral hogs in new areas to establish populations to
