Wanted murderer captured At 12:18 a.m., March 9, 2016, Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino was arrested near the intersection of Highway 19 and Interstate 70, in Montgomery County, Missouri.

Serrano-Vitorino was the subject of a 17- hour long manhunt and is wanted for the murder of four people in Kansas City, Kansas, and wanted for questioning in regard to a fifth homicide, which occurred in New Florence, Missouri.

Serrano-Vitorino was captured after a citizen reported they were approached by a male who displayed a gun. The citizen fled the area and reported the incident to law enforcement. Officers from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol immediately responded.

Two troopers spotted Serrano-Vitorino lying face down in a ditch at the northwest corner of the intersection. Serrano-Vitorino was taken into custody without incident and did not offer any resistance. A rifle was recovered during the arrest. He was transported to the Montgomery County Jail and placed on a twenty-four hour hold, in regard to the homicide which occurred in New Florence, Missouri. Additionally, Serrano-Vitorino is being held on a two million dollar bond for the murders which occurred in Kansas City, Kansas. The investigation is continuing by the Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control.

“I am very pleased with the outstanding work and dedication of all Patrol employees involved in this operation, said Colonel J. Bret Johnson, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, I am also pleased with the quick response and teamwork that every agency provided in this capture. This type of cooperation may very well have prevented further loss of life. I also want to extend condolences to the families who have lost loved ones.”

The charges for which Serrano-Vitorino has been arrested 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 it is to determine guilt or innocence.

According to reports the Licking Police Department was called to a disturbance at Old Salem Road. When officers responded to the scene they discovered a white male subject, identified as Mark E. Bryson, 42 of Licking, that had been stabbed multiple times. Bryson succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers at the residence were contacted by a male subject who stated he had picked up Nolan C. Decker, 41 of Licking near the scene after Decker had called and requested this. The male subject stated that Decker told him he had been involved in an altercation with Bryson and “hurt him real bad”. The male subject also stated that Decker was only wearing his underwear. After the male subject dropped Decker off he went back to check on Bryson and was then contacted by the officers.

While investigating, large amounts of blood were found in the street along with a pair of orange jail sandals with the initials “N.D.” During interview, Decker admitted to being involved in a struggle with Bryson and had a bruised eye and abrasions on his legs.

Fatality a.m. 911 dispatched officers to respond to the area of Highway 60 West and Smith Flooring, Inc. Officer Honeycutt observed a female laying in the highway, not breathing.

From her wounds Officer Honeycutt reported that she had died upon impact.

According to the MVPD the female victim, identified as Ashteon N. Villarreal, 26 of Mtn. View, stepped into the path of an oncoming Penske box truck. The 2012 GMC box truck was operated by Howard E. Vinson, 79 of Poplar Bluff.

Immediately following the first collision, Villarreal’s body was then struck

From Page One by another vehicle that was heading Westbound towards Willow Springs.

The driver of the Penske box truck submitted to a breathalyzer and urine sam-

ple which both indicated he was not impaired at the time of the incident.

Vinson stated that he was driving from Poplar Bluff to Kansas City to drop off

officers on Saturday, March 12 where officers located a pair of men’s pants and a knife.

Decker is being held in the Texas County Jail on charges of murder-2nd degree and armed criminal action. He is being held on a $5 million bond.

Decker has a lengthy history of crimes including assault-2nd degree in 1995;

distributing or delivering not more than 5 grams marijuana in 2005; receiving stolen property in 2006; burglary-2nd degree in 2013; DWI-alcohol, possession of a controlled substance in 2015 and tampering with judicial officer in 2015.

MoDOT launches enhanced pothole patrol The Missouri Department of Transportation is kicking off an enhanced pothole repair initiative starting today throughout the state.

Through the rest of the month of March, maintenance crews are committed to repairing a pothole with asphalt as quickly as possible of it being reported. MoDOT will aggressively respond and patch potholes to keep highways smooth and safe for Missouri motorists.

“We want to get asphalt in the hole as quickly as possible. If you report it in the morning, our goal is to repair it before you drive the same road the next business day,” said MoDOT State Maintenance Engineer Becky Allmeroth. “We know our aging infrastructure is prone to potholes this time of year,

Wednesday, March 16, 2016

and we are making efforts to keep our roads as safe and smooth as possible.”

Motorists can report the location of potholes using the following tools: - Call our 24/7 Customer Service Center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (888275-6636) - Use our Report a Road Concern form on the web at www.modot.org - Use your smart phone/ tablet with a mobile friendly form at www.modot.org/ roadconcern - By email to comments@ modot.mo.gov MoDOT spends approximately $15 million a year on pothole patching with the majority of that during the month of March. “On any given day in March, it would not be unusual to have 300

pothole patching crews on our state roadways,” said Allmeroth. “Please watch out for them and move over a lane to give them room to work.”

Potholes form when temperatures warm up during the day, but continue to be cold at night. This is the main cause of potholes in highways and why they are prevalent during spring season. The rain and snow from winter leave moisture that seep into the cracks and joints in the pavement.

When temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands the pavement. This expansion causes the pavement to bulge and crack.

When cars drive over the bulging pavement, it eventually causes chunks of pavement to pop out.

He stated he was heading West on 60 when he saw something coming towards his left side from the other side of the highway. Vinson

thought it was a deer and that he struck the object. He told officers that he slowed down and turned around and tried to find what he had hit but was unable to locate it. Vinson then drove to Signal gas and called the MSHP From Page One station who told him to return to the indictment are merely accu- scene and wait for an officer. sations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Vinson stated he then realized it was a person he had hit when he saw the sheet in the road.

Howell County Coroner Tim Cherry arrived on scene at 6:45 a.m. and pronounced Villarreal dead. He stated that she had died upon impact.

Man kidnaps woman after carjacking A woman was held for 4 to 5 hours against her will after a man carjacked her on Friday, March 4 in West Plains.

According to reports a white 2008 Chevrolet HHR was on Meadow Drive in West Plains and was being operated by a female. A male subject, later identified as Anthony Martin approached the vehicle and was holding what the female victim described as a sawed-off shotgun and advised her to move to the passenger seat ‘if she liked having a head’. Martin then got into the vehicle and drove off. The female victim advised officers that she was in fear for her life and felt as if Martin would not let her leave the vehicle. This went on for approximately 4 to 5 hours before Martin made her exit the vehicle on Highway 14. Martin instructed the female victim to throw her cell phone out of the vehicle to prevent her from calling for help but she hid

the phone down her sweater sleeve.

While at the police department with the victim, Martin called a female subject (whom had loaned the vehicle to the female victim earlier in the day) and told her on speaker phone the vehicle was gone and she would never see it again.

Martin was eventually located in Gainesville by the Ozark County Sheriff’s Office inside the vehicle. He was booked into the Howell County Jail on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 on charges of robbery-1st degree; armed criminal action; kidnapping; unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon-exhibiting.

He is currently being held on a $225,000 bond.

The charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Protecting the Original American Dream

A Tribute to First Lady Nancy Reagan Former First Lady Nancy Reagan was laid to rest yesterday, so it is only fitting to honor her legacy as one of the most influential First Ladies in American history.

The month of March is women’s history month in which we honor the tremendous women throughout history.

This year’s theme is “working to form a more perfect union: honoring women in public service and government.” Nancy Reagan was the epitome of a public servant. Sadly, the passing of Nancy Reagan marks the end of a conservative era, but her influence is sure to be felt for generations to come.

Nancy was not only a fierce guardian of her husband, but was prolific in her own right. Nancy is a testament that one great woman can change the world for the better.

Although it appeared that Nancy was behind her husband’s shadow, she was much more than that. Nancy had her own affect outside of her husband’s presidency.

Her “Just Say No” campaign brought to light the struggles of alcohol and drug addiction that many Americans struggled with. After watching her husband struggle with Alzheimer’s and his long, drawn out death, “the long goodbye,” she became an advocate for finding a cure for the disease that eventually took her precious “Ronnie”.

You see, Nancy was much more than just the wife of President Ronald Reagan, she was an icon in her own right.

Missouri is home to many influential women who have in some way changed our world for the better. Just like Nancy, Julia Grant, the wife of president Ulysses Grant, was a prolific first lady as well. She is often referred to as the Civil War’s road warrior. She travelled over 10,000 miles in the four years that her husband served as president. She faced the same risks as her husband on the road to defeat slavery: disease, death and capture.

She didn’t let that stop her.

In the same way as Nancy Reagan, she didn’t strive to take the spotlight away from her husband. It wasn’t about getting the recognition for something. They both just genuinely were passionate

about what they were doing.

Within the 8th district of Missouri, there are several examples of strong women that have made an impact on our world. Lucy Wortham James was a philanthropist who preserved Meramec Spring, which is one of Missouri’s most beloved natural landmarks. Women all over the country have Missourians like Edna Gellhourn to thank for having the right to vote. She helped form the National League of Women Voters and served as the league’s first vice president.

Gellhourn was a champion of equal rights. She is among many like Sarah Barton Murphy who is credited with being the true founder of Farmington. She brought education and religion to Farmington.

These women and Nancy Reagan used their position of power for much more than fame and self-gain.

They used their ability to serve others in our country.

My mother was a strong woman who had a profound effect on my own life. She was a wife, mother, entrepreneur and factory worker who instilled in me the characteristics of leadership and hard work. I can thank her for any success I have achieved and an attitude to put others first.

Today, we honor Mrs. Reagan and strong women across this great nation. May your legacy live on and your example inspire more woman to help lead our country.

This week in the Missouri Senate was defined by an intense battle for the protection of Missourians’ religious liberties. In an attempt to block the passage of Senate Joint Resolution 39, legislation that protects religious organizations’ and private individuals’ right to recognize their sincere religious beliefs, the minority caucus launched into a 39-hour filibuster that forestalled the Senate’s legislative process.

Even after the resolution was perfected at the end of this state record-setting filibuster, SJR 39 proponents had yet another day-long battle to successfully third read and pass the legislation out of the Senate. I am very happy to announce that SJR 39 was finally passed on to the House in the evening hours aof Thursday, March 10. If the resolution is successfully passed through the House, it will be put on the ballot in August or November as an amendment to the State Constitution, where it will then be decided on by the citizens of Missouri.

The proposed constitutional amendment would be a big step toward protecting religious practices and beliefs in our state. The resolution prohibits the state of Missouri from imposing any penalties against religious organizations and certain private individuals as a result of their sincere religious beliefs concerning same-sex marriage. Specifically, the defensive legislation protects religious organizations (churches, religious schools, religious leaders, etc.) from being penalized for refusing to acknowledge, facilitate or perform same-sex marriages. Churches, synagogues, temples, etc. would be allowed to say no to hosting marriage ceremonies and receptions on their premises without fear of state persecution.

The resolution would also prohibit the state from penalizing certain vendors who refuse to offer artistic and creative services for weddings – like bakers, photographers and florists. Private individuals should not have to fear being fined for abiding by their religious beliefs, and this legislation helps uphold that ideal.

The right to religious freedom was the founding principle of our entire country. Senate Joint Resolution 39 works as a shield to ensure that Missouri’s religious organizations, leaders and private individuals are able to enjoy the same inherent right our forefathers dreamed America would uphold.

So many residents of the 33rd District have been contacting me and asking that I do all I can toward getting this legislation onto the ballot, and I appreciate the opportunity this week has given me to successfully achieve that goal. This resolution is a big step forward in the right direction for the Show-Me state. Now, SJR 39 will work its way through the House and onto the ballot for Missouri voters to decide on, and I am confident the citizens of our great state will make the right choice.

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.

Howell County Sheriff’s reports are printed directly off reports provided by the Howell County Sheriff’s Office and are public record. Persons arrested for criminal offenses, or charges set forth in an indictment, are merely accusations and they are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

INCIDENTS Thursday, February 25, 2016 A male subject who lives on CR 6690 in West Plains came to the Howell County Sheriff’s Office and reported that someone unknown to him used his identity to file a tax return in his name. A report has been done and an investigation is on-going at this time.

Friday, March 4, 2016 Captain Jared Peterman was dispatched to CR 1390 in West Plains in reference to stealing and property damage.

A female subject reported that a known male subject had thrown a rock causing damage to her vehicle. This investigation is still pending.

Saturday, March 5, 2016 A female subject came to the Howell County Sheriff’s Office and reported two wheels and tires have been taken from a trailer she owns. An investigation has been initiated.

Sunday, March 6, 2016 Patrol deputies were dispatched to a residence located at CR 1050 in West Plains for a domestic disturbance.

A male subject came to the Howell County Sheriff’s Office and reported someone had stolen a handgun and $2,500 in cash from his residence. An investigation has been inititated.

A citation was issued to Larry R. Letham of West Plains for unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.

Douglas County Sheriff's Department Report During the week of March 1 to March 7, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department answered 102 Calls for Service and arrested 13 subjects. There are currently 21 subjects incarcerated in the Douglas County Jail and one being held out of county.

Wet weather is moving into the area. We are forcasted to receive a signifigant amount of precipitation over the next few days. We are very dry; however, we are expected to receive a lot of rain in a small amount of time. The ground can only absorb so much water so fast. This will cause small creeks and low water crossings to flood. Please use caution when approaching these areas over the next few days. Turn around and don’t drown. It only takes six inches of water to move a car enough to cause you to lose control over your vehicle.

We have had an unusually strange and relatively warm winter this Year. It seemed like in December that we couldn’t buy a dry day. With as wet as it was three months ago, it is now very dry.

Lack of moisture since December, relatively low humidity, and wonderful weather here of late has everyone feeling the need to get outside, and this brings the desire to clean up the winter blah and get ready for an early spring. Many people begin to get rid of leaves, old branches, etc. and the easiest way to do so is to burn. With conditions like we have now, even without an official “burn ban”, even a small barrel contained fire can spark out and catch, causing it to get out of hand. The wind, weather, and ground conditions make a perfect storm for just something small to get away from even the most experienced burners. Out of the 102 Calls for Service dispatched and responded to the week of March 1st to March 7, 28 of those calls were fire calls. Of those 28 fire calls, 19 of those calls were dispatched and responded to over the extremely nice weekend of March 5 and 6. Assistance has been needed from the Missouri Department of Conservation on some of the fires responded to over the last several days, along with departments helping neighboring departments. With this in mind the weather is expected to change over the next several days and we are expected to get some most needed rain. This should help with the conditions and make the environment a little better for burning. Here are some things to keep in mind when burning: • Know where you are. Be able to give directions to your residence from town so that if in the event of a fire getting away from you we are able to get help to you as quickly as possible. The easiest and fastest way to get help to your location in case of a fire or any other emergency is with the physical address that is on your personal property tax bill. If you rent your home we can get that address for you by checking through your landlord’s name. This address allows us to put your address in our Mapping System and being able to pull up where you live, the routes available to get to you, and the fire department or 1st responders that are needed for your area.

• Know what fire department you belong to. Most people who live in rural Douglas County will pay dues to a fire department that covers their area. These fire departments will respond if dues are not paid; however, it may cost more if you are paying them after they put out a fire for you.

• Let us know ahead of time. Several people, especially if they will be burning a large area, will call the office before they begin to let us know where they will be burning. We then document this so if someone sees the smoke, is concerned, and calls in we can advise them that at this time the fire is controlled. This also gives us a heads up when you call and are trying to get help to an area if your fire gets out of hand.

• Monitor weather conditions. If you see that there is a wind warning, if we haven’t had rain in several weeks plus, or if there is a burn ban in the counties near us it probably wouldn’t hurt to hold off until conditions become more conducive to burning.

Better to err on the side of caution and be safe.

• Rural fire fighters are completely volunteer. When we call for a fire department to respond they are coming from their homes, their jobs, etc. They may well be on other fire or emergency medical calls. They respond as quickly as they possibly can, and respond as quickly and safely as possible to your location. If you have to call a fire department for any reason that call will come here to the Sheriff’s Office, and then based on your directions we then send the proper fire department to your need. We will never ask if you have paid your dues or if you are a member. We will just get you the help you need when you need it.

MCSAP SAFETE Project to be conducted in Troop G Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, announces Troop G will participate in the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program’s SAFETE. This enforcement program is designed to target violations that lead to commercial motor vehicle crashes, such as speed, following too close, unsafe lane changes, careless driving, impaired driving, and distracted driving (texting and handheld cell phone use). This operation will be conducted in Howell County sometime during the month of March.

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Join us in supporting the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!

Healthy DASH Diet can lower blood pressure There is a 90 percent chance that a middle-aged American will develop high blood pressure during their lives. However, research has shown that following the DASH diet plan will decrease blood pressure in as little as two weeks.

Nurturing Hope: A Community Cancer Project began its capital campaign in February 2015. To date, the community has pledged and donated $915,000 for the project. The estimated total cost of the expansion is $1.2 million. Christner, Inc. from St. Louis is the

architectural firm.

For more than 25 years, the community has trusted OMC to provide exceptional cancer care. OMC has continually provided technological advances such as a new linear accelerator and a 4D Oncology CT scanner. With these advances, it is important for our patients to receive the care they need in a calming and soothing environment that will promote healing and nurturing. OMC wants our patients to feel uplifted by their surroundings as they face their battles with can-

cer. Each year, OMC has more than 400 new cancer patients.

More than 25,000 patient visits and procedures are performed yearly by the OMC Medical Oncology Department. More than 11,000 total visits and procedures are performed each year by the OMC Radiation Oncology Department.

The remodel and expansion of the existing Cancer Treatment Center will combine best practices, beauty, tranquility, and healing into one efficient footprint that gives cancer patients and family members the services they need. This will create a regional resource for patients, impacting the lives and health of thousands of community members.

The chemotherapy suite will be expanded, giving patients and their families additional space during treatments and providing physicians and nurses additional room to care for patients during treatment. New

heated infusion chairs will be easy to adjust for maximum comfort. From each chair will be a view of the new healing garden, a private and serene space that will be built just outside the new suite, using natural elements to bring the outdoors in.

“Our vision is to bring together the best oncology treatment facilities and technology with a holistic and compassionate approach that supports each patient on their path to healing,” said Tom Keller, OMC President and CEO. “We are humbled and appreciative of the way the community has joined in to support this project.”

OMC Cancer Treatment Center is staffed by Board Certified Oncologists Dr. Liana Makarian and Dr. Charles Morgan; Board Certified Radiation Oncologist Dr. Benjamin Yan; Board Certified Radiologists Dr. Rob Armstrong

and Dr. Beth Cooper. “We are touched by the generosity and support of the community. We look forward to continue providing excellent care to those in need of our services. It is heartwarming to see how supportive our community is and makes me proud to be part of that same community,” Dr. Morgan said.

“I am thrilled to see the Nurturing Hope campaign transition into a reality. It is truly a blessing to see how the community has supported us. We will continue to care for every patient and family member that walks through our doors. The new spaces will be a direct reflection of the compassionate care we provide and the wonderful support we receive from those we care for,” said Brian Pence, Director of Oncology Services.

Overweight persons have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure. Losing weight can help decrease systolic (top number) blood pressure.

DASH is short for “Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension.” The DASH eating plan is a diet that is abundant in fruits and vegetables, includes low-fat dairy products, and is low in saturated fat and total fat. The DASH plan helps to lower systolic blood pressure quickly. Some people see a difference in as little as two weeks.

Eating too much sodium or salt can also contribute to high blood pressure. Sodium impacts blood pressure when the kidneys fail to get rid of the extra sodium. According to a 2013 Institute of Medicine report, the average American consumes about 3,400 milligrams of salt daily.

Yet, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee issued recommendations earlier this year stating that the general population should limit dietary sodium to less than 2,300 mg per day (approximately one teaspoon).

MDC permits will have new look starting March 15 Hunting, fishing, trapping permits bought from vendors will be done online, printed on paper

Hunters, anglers, and trappers in Missouri have been buying permits online through the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) website since 2011 and through the free MDC “Mo Hunting” mobile app since 2014. Retail stores, convenience stores, and other places that sell permits

will catch up to this online technology starting March 15.

In mid-March, places that sell hunting, fishing, and trapping permits will switch from selling the familiar plastic-backed, rectangular, yellow permits to selling paper permits. They will also move from selling permits

through a special machine connected to a phone line to using a regular computer or laptop with Internet access and a standard printer.

“The most noticeable change for permit buyers will be that permits bought from vendors will be printed on a regular sheet of paper instead of the familiar plas-

Pros and Cons of Chicken Litter as pasture fertilizer topic of March 24 meeting The ‘Pros and Cons of Chicken Litter as pasture fertilizer’ will be the topic of a meeting held on Thursday, March 24 in West Plains.

The meeting will be held

at Mega Motorsports, located at 3874 North U.S. Highway 63 in West Plains, MO. The meal will begin at 6:30 p.m., sponsored by Mega Motosports with the

meeting to follow at 7 p.m.

Guest speaker will be Tim Schnakenberg, University of Missouri Extension Agronomy Specialist from Stone County.

MDC: Twin Pines seeks volunteers to help prepare for spring Missouri Department of Conservation volunteers are a vital part of the conservation community. Naturalists at Twin Pines Conservation Education Center are calling on volunteers to help prepare the facility for the spring season.

Specifically, volunteers are needed to help teach nature programs, bait hooks and help out at the kid’s fishing pond, prepare the native landscaping around the center, clean the trail and help with other general tasks.

“We have a small staff, so it would be great if we could build our volunteer force to help bring in the spring season,” said Erin Tuttle, naturalist and volunteer coordinator at Twin Pines.

Volunteers must be 14 years or older and have an appreciation for nature, Tuttle said. Volunteers should contact the center by March 20 to allow time for applications to be completed before the next scheduled volunteer meeting.

“Don’t worry if you don’t know much about native plants or how to do certain things. We’ll teach you along the way,” she said. “Learning new things is part of the fun of volunteering.”

Twin Pines has a visitor center, a kid’s only fishing pond, hiking trails, archery range, outside exhibits, a 1900’s school house, antique forestry equipment, and forest management demon-

lage production, guidelines for harvesting and storing silage crops, options and considerations for silage storage structures, baleage, considerations for utilizing silage in livestock diets, and a panel discussion on silage production considerations.

“There is a lot at stake when making silage and many things to consider to make it worth your while and to be profitable,” said Ted Probert, University of Missouri Extension dairy specialist. “This course will provide the fundamental knowledge needed to achieve success with silage production.”

MO hunting app users need to update it starting March 15 Hunters, anglers, and trappers in Missouri who use the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) “MO Hunting” free mobile app will need to perform an update starting March 15. Both Apple and Android users will need to install the update to continue to be able to purchase permits and use all other functions of the app. If users do not perform the updates to their iOS or Android app, they will be limited to permit information previously downloaded to their mobile device.

Apple will require users to have at least the iOS 8.2 version to use the updated MO Hunting app. Android will require users to have at least An-

chine compared to an email or text,” Bess said. “Online permit sales are more convenient, current, and reliable for both sellers and buyers.”

He added that MDC staff started letting permit vendors know about the switch three years ago so they would have plenty of time to prepare.

“Permit vendors are important to us and we have been helping them move to the online permit system,” Bess said. “We’ve offered them financial incentives to help them buy any equipment they may need and have also provided plenty of training and support.”

People can buy Missouri hunting, fishing and trapping permit all around the state at many gas stations, convenience stores, sporting-goods stores, large retail stores, and other vendors – and at many MDC offices and all MDC nature centers.

People can also buy permits directly online from the MDC website at mdc. mo.gov and right from their smartphones through the

MDC free “MO Hunting” mobile app. One popular and convenient feature of the app is that no paper permits are needed. The app lets users upload electronic copies of all their permits to the mobile device to show as needed.

People can also buy permits over the phone by calling 800-392-4115, using a credit card, paying a $1 fee, and waiting a week for permits to arrive by mail.

Permit sales account for about 18% of MDC revenue and support a wide range of conservation activities around the state, such as raising and stocking millions of sport fish every year, research and management of native game animals and other wildlife, habitat improvements, maintaining and improving shooting ranges, and more.

“More and more people are buying more and more online,” Bess explained.

“Being able to sell and buy permits online will help maintain conservation funding in the future.”

Three-session ‘Silage Producers Short Course’ to be held in Mtn. Grove March 22 A University of Missouri Extension “Silage Producers Short Course” is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on March 22, 29, and April 5 at the Missouri State University Fruit Experiment Station, 9740 Red Spring Road, in Mountain Grove.

This eight-hour noncredit course will cover all aspects of silage production and storage, and is specifically designed for livestock producers who may already have their own silage equipment, have silage custom harvested, or are thinking about getting into silage production.

Topics to be discussed include growing crops for si-

tic-backed, yellow tag,” said MDC Permit Services Supervisor Nathan Bess. “These paper permits from permit sellers will be the same as the ones people have been buying online since 2011.”

Bess added that another noticeable change for permit buyers will be no more processing fees.

“With the old permit system, the third-party provider charged permit buyers a $1 convenience fee for each transaction, every time they bought permits,” he explained. “Permit buyers will now save a few dollars because there are no processing fees when you buy permits either directly online or from a permit seller.”

Bess said that the move to online permit sales was prompted by both a need to replace outdated technology and to keep up with future needs.

“Selling permits using the old phone-based system compared to online permit sales is like sending someone a message using a fax ma-

droid 4.0.3.

For more info on MO Hunting, go online to mdc.mo.gov/ mohunting.

The MO Hunting mobile app update is required as MDC moves to online permit sales from vendors through a new permit-services provider. Starting March 15, places that sell hunting, fishing, and trapping permits will switch from selling the familiar plastic-backed, rectangular, yellow permits to selling paper permits. They will also move from selling permits through a special machine connected to a phone line to using a regular computer or laptop with Internet access and a standard printer.

The cost of the course is $35 per person or $45 per couple from the same household or farm operation.

The registration deadline is Thursday, March 17, with a minimum of 15 people required to hold the course.
