MVPD to participate in Youth Seat Belt Enforcement City Police Department announced today they are joining with statewide law enforcement March 15-31 for an aggressive youth seat belt mobilization to crack down on Missouri’s seat belt law violators and to reduce highway fatalities. Only 70 percent of Missouri teens wear their seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Eight out of ten teen vehicle drivers and passengers killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled. Under the Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) law, teens are required to wear their seat belt as it’s a primary offense, meaning they can be pulled over solely for not wearing their seat belt. “Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up seat belt enforcement” said Chief Perkins, Mountain View’s Chief of Police. “We’ll be out there to remind you seat belts can-and do- save lives.” Seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.

Pursuit and officer-involved shooting in New Madrid Co. At approximately 12:40 p.m., March 6, 2017, a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper initiated a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 60 for a registration violation. The vehicle turned onto Keystone Drive and a short pursuit ensued. The suspect vehicle slid off the road striking a utility pole guy wire. When the vehicle stopped, the front seat passenger fled to scene of foot and was later taken into custody by officers from the Sikeston Department of Public Safety. The rear seat passenger exited the vehicle and fired multiple shots at the trooper and fled the scene on foot. The trooper returned fire. The rear passenger was later taken into custody by officers from the Sikeston Department of Public Safety. The driver placed the vehicle into reverse and fled the scene. The suspect vehicle was later located near the 63-mile marker on Interstate 55. Following an extensive search of the area and the use of a Patrol canine, the driver was taken into custody by officers from the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.

Snow Day - MoDOT trucks were salting the roadways and clearing them of the 3 to 4 inches of snow that fell early Monday morning. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)
The Mtn. View area awoke to a winter wonderland on Monday, March 13. Winter made one last attempt before the first official day of spring (March 20) as 3 to 4 inches of snow fell during the early morning hours. School was canceled for
the Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District as well as West Plains and several other surrounding districts. The snow won’t last long as temperatures will climb into the 40s on Wednesday and reach 60 degrees by the weekend.
Investigators with the Howell County Sheriff’s Office made contact with the investigator from the Children’s Division at the juvenile female’s school where she disclosed that she has been made to inappropriately touch her mother’s boyfriend. The juvenile female identified the male as Shane L. McDaniel, a 33-year-old male. The juvenile female stated that McDaniel told her she could never tell anyone or he would go to jail and she would never see him again. He also reportedly promised her whatever candy she wanted.
Shane L. McDaniel
Shane L. McDaniel, 33 of Peace Valley is being charged with statutory sodomy-1st degree. He is currently being held on a $100,000 bond. The charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Lincoln Day April 6 The annual Howell County Lincoln Day will be held on Thursday, April 6 in the Magnolia Room of the West Plains Civic Center. Howell County Republican Committee Chair, Ward Franz announced that Missouri’s newly elected Lieutenant Governor Mike Parsons will be the featured speaker for the event. Parsons is a former Sheriff of Polk County and prior to his recent election to statewide office, he served six years in the Missouri House of Representatives, followed by six years as a Missouri State Senator. Franz added that other statewide and area elected officials have been invited to the celebration.
Franz noted that the event is being held on Thursday evening this year, a break from traditional Saturday evening affair in hopes to avoid numerous conflicts. He added, “We have a lot to celebrate with the sweep in the November elections and we’re adding a live auction to go along with the evening program and look forward to an outstanding evening of food, fun and fellowship.” Tickets are already available for Lincoln Day and may be purchased from Howell County Republican committee members or Howell County elected officials. Tickets are $20 each and should be purchased in advance due to limited seating.
Local police will be out in full force as part of the annual nationwide St. Patrick’s Day Holiday “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” substance–impaired driving crackdown. The crackdown, which will include high-visibility enforcement throughout Mtn. View, will run from March 16-19. The effective nationwide substance–impaired driving crackdown will include high-visibility enforcement, high-profile events, and will be supported by national paid advertising, creating a comprehensive campaign to curb substance–impaired driving over the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. Mtn. View Police has said its officers will be aggressively looking for substance– impaired drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving impaired. Although it is illegal in all 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive impaired (having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher), far too many people across the nation get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol. The latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration underscore the serious nature of the nation’s continuing drunk driving epidemic. Chief Perkins added the St. Patrick’s Day holiday is particularly dangerous. During the St. Patrick’s Day holiday March 17-20, 2016, two (2) people were killed and eight (8) seriously injured involving at least one substance-impaired driver.

MOST Ground-breaking ceremony for Hass-Darr Hall WANTED Howell Co.
Officials at Missouri State University-West Plains will host a ground-breaking ceremony at 4 p.m. Friday, March 31, for the Hass-Darr Hall renovation/construction project at the project site, 201 Garfield Ave., in West Plains. The brief ceremony is open to all. Parking will be available in nearby university-owned lots. On Feb. 15, members of the Missouri State University Board of Governors awarded the bid for this project to Cahills Construction, Inc., of Salem, Missouri, for $4,131,000 for the base bid plus all alternates. Cahills was the lowest of eight bidders. The project, which has been in the planning stages for almost 20 years, was revitalized in summer 2015 when Missouri legislators passed a bonding package and former Gov. Jay Nixon signed legislation authorizing approximately $300 million to fund repairs and renovations to public properties around the state. Included in that package was $1.5 million in funding for this project, which will renovate and expand West Plains’ former post office building. The project took another major step forward in October 2015 when the university received significant gifts from Mary Hass Sheid, West

Plains, and the William R. Hass family, Springfield, and William and Virginia Darr, Springfield. In recognition of their gifts, the facility was named Hass-Darr Hall. Once completed, the facility will house the Carol Silvey Student Union, the William and Virginia Darr Honors Program, Drago College Store, tutoring services, the admissions office, the Veterans’ Center and other much needed classroom and administrative office space that will enhance student learning and academic success, university officials said. “This facility has been needed on our campus for a
long time,” Chancellor Drew Bennett said. “The vision for a facility that would bring together our growing academic support services and the honors program began in 1998 when an anonymous donor gifted a former church building at 120 Langston St. to the university. By the time HassDarr Hall is opened for student use in spring 2018, we will have been working on this initiative for 20 years.” Over the years, the anonymous gift eventually was revealed to have come from Sheid. “Mary receives the credit for planting the seed that grew into Hass-Darr Hall,” Bennett said. “The
project has taken many names and shapes over the years. When the church building was first donated in 1998, the intent was to use it to house programs that would enhance the campus experience.” Reductions in state appropriations after 1998, however, kept the project on hold. In 2002, an architectural study on the building commissioned by the university determined that it would be more costly to renovate it than to replace it with a new one.

Senate Bill 34 and Broadband
Reason to be Concerned
For several years, my legislative colleagues and I have advocated for a broadband expansion and faster internet speeds in the 33rd District and other rural areas of Missouri. High-speed internet access brings many benefits to rural communities, including economic development and better access to education and health care services, such as distance learning and telemedicine. I am pleased to say key communications providers have been listening and are doing their part to bring broadband to many of Missouri’s rural areas. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) created the Connect America Fund (CAF) to facilitate the expansion of broadband infrastructure in high-cost, rural communities. Multiple carriers accepted statewide offers from the FCC to bring internet service with speeds of at least 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload to locations in FCC-designated, high-cost census blocks. In many cases download speeds will be faster. I’m happy to report that several carriers accepted the FCC’s CAF statewide offers in Missouri to make broadband available to more than 200,000 locations in their service areas in rural parts of the state. Broadband providers have accepted the commitment to bring broadband services to more than 150,000 locations in Missouri service areas over the next six years. The CAF funds make it possible for carriers to offer broadband in areas that would otherwise be cost prohibitive to serve. However, the FCC did not provide enough funding to serve all CAF eligible locations and it is simply not economically feasible to provide broadband access to all extremely high-cost areas across Missouri not currently covered by CAF. By accepting the Connect America Fund monies, carriers committed to offer broadband in FCC-designated, high-cost areas within their local service territory. The FCC and the Missouri Public Service Commission will verify that these obligations are met. By the end of 2017, CenturyLink expects to be in the final stages of construction, installation, and activation of new broadband equipment in high-cost areas in over 5,730 locations outside of Cabool, Marshfield, Mountain View and Thayer. Additional communities will be upgraded in the future. Earlier this week the Senate gave initial approval to Senate Bill 34, which I sponsored and would crack down on some immigrants living in the country illegally. Senators voted 27-6 Thursday to pass the bill. It now moves to the House. If it passes the Legislature and becomes law, previously deported immigrants who come back and commit assaults or other dangerous felonies would face three to 10 years in prison. I sponsored this legislation with a goal to crack down on criminals. 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.
Last weekend, President Trump opened up about his suspicion that his campaign was wire tapped by the Obama White House during the 2016 Presidential election. While some in the media found this outlandish, the reality is that a long track record by the Obama White House of using whatever means necessary to discredit those who opposed him leaves President Trump justified in believing that individuals who worked on his campaign and potentially himself were subjected to eavesdropping. In the coming months, the U.S. House Intelligence Committee will be conducting a full investigation on interference during the 2016 election – interference from foreign countries as well as executive overreach and manipulation by the Obama White House. In the meantime, what we do know is that a pattern and history of overstep and abuse by the Obama Administration has given President Trump plenty of reason to suspect his organization was targeted during the Republican nomination process. Most glaring is that the Obama White House had a history of using deceitful tactics to target those who disagreed with them. In 2013, Obama’s IRS told employees to “be on the lookout” for Tea Party organizations applying for tax-exempt status and other groups who objected to the government takeover of healthcare and our economy. Their applications were delayed and denied in an at-

tempt to stop them from working against Obama’s liberal agenda. Led by Eric Holder, Obama’s Justice Department also pried into the personal communications of Associated Press reporters and Fox News reporter James Rosen who was unfavorably reporting on the White House. Second, since the beginning of the Trump Administration, his presidency has been hounded by numerous unauthorized leaks from lifelong bureaucrats, burrowed deep within the bowels of a bloated government. These bureaucratic hold overs from the Obama Administration have infiltrated the Trump Administration and are working every day to discredit America’s newly elected leader. Lastly, it’s easy to see why the Obama Administration would be motivated to wiretap the Trump campaign and find information to prevent Trump from being elected - the preservation of their liberal policies and Obama’s legacy was at stake. They wanted Hillary Clinton – another president who would spend too much, tax too much and try to rewrite the Constitution in order to encroach upon the very liberties our country was founded on. Scared of what Trump would do to their legacy, the Obama White House might do anything to ensure that a true agent of change didn’t take over. While it is completely acceptable for a president to want to see his legacy continued by his successor of choice, it is not acceptable for anyone in his administration to spy on the opposition. We are just beginning to scratch the surface of the executive overreach and manipulation by the previous administration during the 2016 election. In the coming months, the facts will rise to the surface and we will know more about if, when and how the Obama White House may have worked to undermine the democratic process. But we don’t need to dig any deeper to understand why the Obama White House would want to try to stop candidate Trump from becoming President Trump.

The “6th Aleiversary” party will be held at the BARn— the brewery and tap room located off Junction ZZ, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. “Once again, we are looking forward to enjoying a beautiful spring day in the Ozarks at our upcoming Aleiversary,” Joleen Durham, co-founder and owner, said. Durham described the Aleiversary as “the biggest event in Bucyrus”. Each spring hundreds of people from across the region visit the Piney River Farm for the Aleiversary. “The event is family-friendly, and there is no charge for admission,” Durham said. “Many Piney River fans look forward to this day at the BARn all year long.” The Piney River tap room will pour several beers that are available year round in the tap room including Float Trip Ale, Black Walnut Wheat, McKinney Eddy Amber Ale, Bronzeback Pale Ale, Old Tom Porter, Missouri Mule India Pale Ale and Masked Bandit IPA. Lizzie Twister, a Berliner-style weisse beer, a mixed fermentation ale, brewed in the original BARn as part of the “Farm Raised Funk” line of beers will be poured. Raise a Ruckus, a limited release imperial stout with coffee and vanilla, will be poured at the event, too. “Our most anticipated limited release beer to be available at the Aleiversary will be our Mule Team India Pale Ale,” Brian Durham, co-founder and head brewer, said. Mule Team IPA is an imperial India pale ale that was first brewed for Piney River’s 2013 anniversary event. “This year’s Mule Team IPA has strong hop flavor and aroma,” Brian Durham said, explaining that the 2017 imperial IPA will be almost 10 percent alcohol by volume. “All of the brewing staff is very excited about releasing this year’s version of Mule Team IPA at the Aleiversary,” Brian Durham said. He noted that for the first time the imperial IPA will be available in 4-packs of 12-ounce cans. Mule Team IPA takes al-
most a month to complete from brewing to packaging. The “6th Aleiversary Limited Release” Mule Team label thanks the team—“dedicated employees, partnerships with distributors, support of friends, neighbors and craft beer lovers”—that has helped the brewery achieve success over the past six years. Mule Team IPA and the other beers will be available all weekend long, beginning on Friday afternoon when the tap room opens and going through Sunday evening, if they do not run out. “Saturday’s party can be a little too busy for some people, so we will plan to have enough Mule Team IPA available to last all weekend long,” Joleen Durham said. “You will be able to enjoy a pint in the tap room or purchase a four-pack to take home.” Durham noted that because Mule Team IPA is only released once a year, many people make extra efforts to purchase it. Weather permitting, most of Saturday’s activities will take place outside. “If the sun is shining we encourage you to bring a camp chair to enjoy the bands, food and beer outside with us on the 25th, “ Joleen Durham said. In addition to the handcrafted ales, the Aleiversary will feature two bands providing live music—Auntie Em and the Tornadoes and The Hamburger Cows. Both bands feature multi-talented instrumentalists and singers that perform Americana, folk and rock covers and original songs. Two food trucks will be available on the 25. Mike and Julie’s Smoked Meats of Huggins will provide unique handmade foods such as Irish nachos and smoked meat sliders. The Waffle Company by Twisted Mikes Food of Springfield will provide a tasty twist on foods featuring waffles. Andy’s Homemade Root Beer, a non-alcoholic homemade root beer, is available for kids and designated drivers. The Aleiversary is a free event and open to all ages.

Missouri wraps up season with loss, awaits new coach
by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist
Missouri’s generally miserable season came to a close last week in the SEC Tournament in Nashville, but it at least included one fun night before Kim Anderson’s time as coach ended. In their tournament opener Wednesday night, the Tigers trailed Auburn by 10 with about four minutes left.
It seemed Missouri’s season would end quickly and quietly. But the Tigers rallied to within three, and then Frankie Hughes, a freshman who had a frequently challenging season, buried a three in the closing seconds to force overtime. Then, with the game tied at the end of regulation, sophomore Kevin Puryear splashed home a three to win the game, 86-83. It was a reminder of how fun March tournament basket-
ball can be, although Missouri has for years now not played meaningful March basketball. That remained the case this year, as Missouri lost Thursday night to Ole Miss 86-74, ending the Tigers’ season at 8-24. Anderson gave it his best, faced some strong challenges on and off the court, and kept his team playing hard, but it just wasn’t enough. Missouri won a total of 27 games during his three seasons in charge.
It’s jarring how quickly the program fell. Winning 27 games in three seasons, with teams able to schedule (almost) guaranteed conference wins, with plenty of SEC teams offering beatable competition, is staggering. Twice in the last 10 years, Missouri hit the 30-win mark in a single season. The descent was swift and complete. As it hunts for a new coach, Missouri has not been to the NCAA Tourna-
ment since 2013, has not won an NCAA Tournament game since 2010, and has not won a regular-season conference championship since 1994, in the old Big Eight Conference. And yet, the job still seems to intrigue coaches and the national media. Missouri, as any boisterous Kansas fan will tell you, has never made it to a Final Four, but the Tigers do have a pretty solid basketball tradition, a great basketball arena, and a good fanbase. I can attest, even as Missouri struggled through game after game, a grimly loyal core of fans kept showing up and cheering. Even Tiger fans who understandably checked out on this lost season seem to be interested in this coaching search and new possibilities. The new coach will inherit some decent young
players, assuming they stay at Missouri. Kevin Puryear and Terrance Phillips will be juniors next season and will hopefully continue to improve. Jordan Barnett brings scoring and athleticism. Perhaps Reed Nikko can stay healthy and provide size inside. But recruiting will still be the key. Getting talented players is crucial, as are developing and keeping that talent. Missouri fans will probably be patient, even if the NCAA Tournament makes them long to see their team in those monumental games again. But they know this could take a while. After three straight last-place finishes in the SEC, Missouri is starting from the bottom. Here’s hoping the Missouri can find the right coach to lead the program back.

Ozarks Medical Center named as 2017 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital The ABCs of Picking a Medicare Supplement Policy Dear Savvy Senior, Can you provide any advice on choosing a Medicare supplemental policy to help cover things outside of Medicare? I’ll be 65 in a few months and could use some assistance. Looking for Help Dear Looking, If you plan to enroll in original Medicare, getting a supplemental policy (also known as Medigap insurance) too is a smart idea because it will help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. Here are some tips to help you choose an appropriate plan. Medigap Plans In all but three states (Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin), Medigap plans, which are sold by private health insurers, come in 10 standardized benefit packages labeled with the letters A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M and N. Plan F is the most popular policy followed by plan C because they provide comprehensive coverage. Plans K and L are high-deductible policies that have lower premiums but impose higher out-of-pocket costs. Plan F also offers a high-deductible version in some states. And a popular middle ground policy that attracts many healthy beneficiaries is plan N. For more information on the different types of plans and the coverage they provide, including Medigap options in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, see Medicare’s “Choosing a Medigap Policy” guide at Medicare.gov/pubs/pdf/02110-medicare-medigap.guide.pdf, or call 1-800-MEDICARE and ask them to mail you a copy. How to Choose To pick a Medigap policy that works best for you, consider your health, family medical history and your budget. The differences among plans can be small and rather confusing. To help you choose, visit Medicare.gov, and click on “Supplements & Other Insurance” at the top of the page, then on “Find a Medigap policy” and type in your ZIP code. This will give you a list of the plans available in your area, their price ranges and the names, and contact information of companies that sell them. But it’s up to you to contact the carriers directly to get there specific pricing information. You can also compare Medigap prices on most state insurance department websites (see NAIC.org/state_ web_map.htm for links), or you can order a personalized report from Weiss Ratings for $99 at WeissMedigap. com. Since all Medigap policies with the same letter must cover the exact same benefits (it’s required by law), you should shop for the cheapest policy. You’ll get the best price if you sign up within six months after enrolling in Medicare Part B. During this open-enrollment period, an insurer cannot refuse to sell you a policy or charge you more because of your health. You also need to be aware of the pricing methods, which will affect your costs. Medigap policies are usually sold as either: “community-rated” where everyone in an area is charged the same premium regardless of age; “issue-age-rated” that is based on your age when you buy the policy, but will only increase due to inflation, not age; and “attained-age-rated,” that starts premiums low but increases as you age. Community-rate and issue-age-rated policies are the best options because they will save you money in the long run. You can buy the plan directly from an insurance company, or you can work with a reputable local insurance broker. Drug Coverage You also need to know that Medigap policies do not cover prescription drugs, so if you don’t have drug coverage, you need to consider buying a separate Medicare Part D drug plan too. See Medicare.gov/find-a-plan to compare plans. Also note that Medigap plans do not cover vision, dental care, hearing aids or long-term care either. Alternative Option Instead of getting original Medicare, plus a Medigap policy and a separate Part D drug plan, you could sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan that provides all-inone coverage. These plans, which are sold by insurance companies, are generally available through HMOs and PPOs. To find and compare Advantage plans visit Medicare.gov/find-a-plan.

Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) in West Plains, Missouri was recently named one of the Top 100 Rural and Community Hospitals in the United States by iVantage Health Analytics and The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “This achievement is very gratifying and validates our daily commitment to providing the best health care possible to our community, while maintaining an efficient and effective facility,” Tom Keller, President and CEO of OMC. “Our mission is to provide exceptional compassionate care to all we serve, and it’s nice that we are recognized for that.” OMC scored in the top 100 of rural and community hospitals on iVantage Health Analytics’ Hospital Strength INDEX®. Only one other hospital was recognized in Missouri, Mercy Hospital in Washington, Missouri. The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive rating of rural providers. It provides the data foundation for the annual Rural Relevance Study and its results are the basis for many of rural healthcare’s most prominent awards, advocacy efforts and legislative initiatives. The list of the Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals and more information about the study can be found at www. iVantageINDEX.com.
The Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals play a key role in providing a safety net to communities across America – and the INDEX measures them across eight pillars of hospital strength: Inpatient Share Ranking, Outpatient Share Ranking, Cost, Charge, Quality, Outcomes, Patient Perspectives, and Financial Stability. “It’s more important than ever that rural hospitals proactively understand and address performance in the areas of cost, quality, outcomes and
patient perspective. iVantage’s INDEX was designed to serve as this industry model,” said Michael Topchik, national leader of the Chartis Center for Rural Health. “Across the spectrum of performance indicators, there are rural providers that are writing the blueprint for success as they transition to value-based healthcare. Our analysis shows that this group of top performers exhibits a focused concern for their community needs.” Ozarks Medical Center is a
system of care encompassing a 114-bed acute care hospital, 8 primary care and 15 specialty clinics, along with complete rehabilitation and home care services. OMC is a not-for-profit medical referral center with over 1100 employees, serving an 8-county area in south central Missouri and north-central Arkansas.

Upcoming blood drive The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is on a CODE YELLOW ALERT for all blood types. The community is strongly urged to give blood this week at a CBCO donor center or blood drive. A Code Yellow Alert means that there is less than a two-day supply of the blood types listed. Patients at 40 area hospitals are counting on CBCO donors to provide the blood they so urgently need. Donors to Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) provide all of the blood for patients at 40 area hospitals. On average, a transfusion takes place every seven minutes and around 200 donations are needed each day to meet the area’s blood needs. You can help by giving blood at this up-
coming blood drive: Winona High School, located on Highway 19 North on Monday, March 20 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Each donation will be awarded LifePoints as a part of CBCO’s donor rewards program. LifePoints may be redeemed online for a variety of gift cards, or points may be assigned to other meaningful causes or charities. More information on the LifePoints donor rewards program may be found at www.cbco.org. To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID. For more information about sharing your good health with others, please visit our website at www.cbco.org, or call toll-free 1-800-280-5337. Thank you for giving life to your community.

MDC offers new permit card for hunters, anglers, trappers Beginning April 1, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will offer Missouri hunters, anglers, and trappers its new Permit Card as an additional way of carrying and showing proof of most related permits. The new plastic cards are another option to MDC’s paper and electronic permits. As new permits are purchased and old ones expire, the updated information is au-
tomatically accessible through the one-time-purchase cards. Conservation agents can scan users’ cards to verify active permits. Permit Card buyers can customize their cards by selecting from four nature-inspired background images: bass, buck, mallard duck, or bluebird. Permit users can buy the new Permits Cards for a onetime fee of $2 online at mdc.
mo.gov/buypermits, from permit vendors around the state, or through the MDC MO Hunting and MO Fishing free mobile apps. Buyers will get a confirmation document at the time of purchase and the plastic Permit Card will be mailed to buyers. Permit Card purchasers must sign the back of the card to validate it as a form of proof of permit. Cardholders can verify their
Brown's Farm & Garden Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 3/7/2017 Receipts: 2,766 Week ago: 2,456 Year ago: 3,406 Compared to last week, the bulk of the steer calves traded 2.00-4.00 higher with spots 7.00 higher on some lightweight calves. Yearling steers traded weak to steady. Heifer calves and yearlings traded steady to firm. Demand was good, especially on weaned, average to thin fleshed calves ready for grass. The supply was moderate, affected by the overnight high winds and rain.

active permits online at mdc. mo.gov/buypermits, through permit vendors around the state, through MDC’s MO Hunting or MO Fishing mobile apps, or by contacting an MDC regional office. Because of permit-notching requirements and Telecheck steps required for deer and turkey hunting permits, the new Permit Card cannot be used as a form of permit proof for deer and turkey hunting. The new Permit Card cannot be used as proof of daily trout tags at trout parks so anglers will still need to purchase and wear their dai-
ly trout tags. The new Permit Card cannot be used to show possession of a Federal Duck Stamp so waterfowl hunters must still carry the document verifying the purchase of a Federal Duck Stamp or the actual stamp. The new Permit Cards do not replace commercial permits and lifetime permits, which must be purchased through the Department’s Permit Services Unit by calling 573-751-4115. The new MDC Permit Card replaces the Department’s existing Heritage Card and new Heritage Cards will no
longer be issued. Existing Heritage Cards will still be valid for hunter-education verification, purchasing permits and discounts, but will not be legal as a permit. As with the MDC Heritage Card, Permit Card holders receive a 15% discount on merchandise purchased at MDC facilities and through the Department’s online Nature Shop at mdcnatureshop. com. MDC Hunter Education graduates will receive Permit Cards instead of the discontinued Heritage Card at no additional cost.
The National Park Service (NPS) is soliciting bids for agricultural Special Use Permits (SUPs) covering seven parcels in Ozark National Scenic Riverways within Shannon and Dent counties. Agricultural use is limited to hay cutting in each of these parcels. Through the use of agricultural SUPs,

the work; (2) Interest in and knowledge of the park’s agricultural permit program and/ or other similar programs; and (3) Meeting the required minimum bid. Bidders are encouraged to view fields prior to submitting a bid. Agricultural fields are located in the following counties:
