lot issue to improve county roads for consideration.

Howell County Presiding Commissioner Mark Collins said the proposed half cent sales tax would double the current road and bridge budget and all of the new sales tax money would be used for road and bridge improvements, with none of the new revenue used for employee salaries or new equipment.

Collins said, “During my 20 plus years in office our

Twin Pines reopens with Heritage Day April 1 The Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Twin Pines Conservation Education Nature Center in Winona will reopen to the public April 1 after a four month seasonal closure, with the center’s largest annual event, Heritage Day. “Heritage Day is a full day of food, friends and fun as we host demonstrations and workshops highlighting traditions of the Ozarks and our forest heritage,” said Skyler Bockman, manager of Twin Pines.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., guests may fish, learn archery, and take part in other activities while listening to live music. There will also be a fish fry from 11 a.m. to

1 p.m., or while supplies last.

“This event fills up and is the perfect way to start our open season at the facility,” Bockman said, adding no reservations are required for Heritage Day. Bockman also said monthly programs such as Little Stinker’s Storytime and Wildthings will resume in April. Specific dates, times and topics can be found at www.mdc.mo.gov/TwinPines.

Twin Pines is located one mile east of Winona on U.S. Highway 60. For more information on Twin Pines, including directions and events, visit www.mdc. mo.gov/TwinPines or call (573)325-1381.

budget has increased from 1.5 million to 2.6 million, but the cost of equipment and supplies has in some cases quadrupled.” Collins cited examples of price increased including road oil from .67 cents a gallon 20 years ago to about $2.50 a gallon today; grader tires were $300 per tire and are not $800 to $900 a tire; grader blades were $30 per blade but now run about $90 per blade. Collins emphasized that, “With 1,060 miles of county road to maintain all we’re doing is being reactive to developing problems, with the passage of this proposal we can begin to be proactive and actually improve our county infrastructure.” Collins added, “The sales tax would generate enough revenue to put an approximate $2,400 per mile for county road improvements.”

Collins also emphasized another aspect of the proposal that should be appealing to county residents and that is the six year sunset clause.

The Presiding Commissioner noted, “This is an accountability part of the ballot that states the sales tax will go away after six years, unless residents agree to extend it with their vote. That places the burden on us to prove to Howell County residents this additional revenue is worthwhile.”

Northern Commissioner

Bill Lovelace added, “Howell County is a hub for South Central Missouri commerce with many from other counties in the area purchasing their products in this county and this sales tax will allow for those folks to help us improve our roads. Plus, we have the fifth largest population among third class counties in Missouri and with this tremendous pressure on our roads, we need help beyond what we have currently.”

Southern Commissioner Billy Sexton added, “Numerous county citizens have encouraged us to submit this proposal as they recognize more dollars are needed before we can significantly improve the current situation with our county roads.”

Locally, the City of Mtn. View will have two on the ballot who are running uncontested for the position of East Ward Alderman (two year term) and West Ward Alderman (two year term).

Those men are Wes Stuart who currently holds the position, having been appointed to the seat on October of 2016 to fill the unexpired term of Jeff Wade who resigned due to personal reasons. Thomas Martin is a new filee who is seeking the seat formerly held by Larry David. David, who decided to not seek re-election, was See Election on Page 4

Blessing, rededication for Mercy St. Francis Chapel

A sacred spot steeped in rich history is entering a new chapter at Mercy St. Francis Hospital. On March 30, the community is invited to celebrate and tour the improvements made to the hospital chapel.

“For decades, our chapel has been open to anyone who needs it, offering daily mass and a quiet space to pray and reflect,” said Cindy Tooley, Mercy St. Francis Hospital administrator. “We wanted to make sure it’s well-kept for generations to come.”

So with the help of Mercy co-workers and volunteers, the chapel underwent nearly $10,000 in upgrades during the last several months. Half the project was funded by the MercyWay campaign, in which co-workers earmarked money for new carpet and paint, as well as refinishing pews and reupholstering kneelers. The other half was funded by the Mercy St. Francis Auxiliary through yearround bake sales, thrift stores sales, gift shop purchases and other hospital events.

Six decades later, Mercy is rededicating and blessing the chapel. Mercy co-workers, community members and leaders are invited to attend the March 30 event at 9 a.m.

Father Augustine Lourduswami will lead the blessing. Light refreshments will be served immediately following.

Hornbeck’s white Chevrolet car remained at the Town & Country Supermarket for several days. She has not been heard from or seen since September 24, 2015.

Hornbeck’s boyfriend, Jacob Loo, filed a missing persons report at the Howell County Sheriff’s Office on September 26, 2015.

Several agencies have assisted in the investigation of this case including the Howell County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol DDCC, West Plains Police Department, Willow Springs Police Department,

Mtn. View Police Department along with various other agencies in different areas of the country who have assisted in following up leads that developed throughout the case.

As the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and death of Hornbeck go unanswered this is still an on-going investigation. Persons with pertinent information regarding this case can call the Howell County Sheriff’s Office and speak with Investigator S.L.

Easter Egg Hunt April 8 The grounds of Mercy St. Francis Hospital will be “hopping” once again as Easter approaches.

On Saturday, April 8, at 2 p.m. – thousands of Easter eggs will be hidden on the back lawn of the hospital. Mercy and the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the annual Easter Egg Hunt, dividing up the following age groups: 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9 and 10 to 12. One lucky hunter from each group who finds the golden egg will

win a prize.

From 1 to 3 p.m., there will be activities for kids, including free barrel train rides and face art provided by the local Future Farmers of America (FFA) group, as well as $1 balloon animals, a 33-foot tall tree house slide and an appearance by the Easter Bunny.

For more information on the egg hunt, call (417) 9347000. To learn more about the auxiliary’s bazaar, call 417934-7079.

Stacy Estes of Ozark Electric Cooperative to secure a business lighting rebate to assist with the cost of the update.

Estes said “the rebates, a lot of times, are just kind of the icing on the cake; it’s almost like a win-win.” With Fantastic Caverns’ LED conversion, Estes estimated that by reducing the watts per bulb around 85%, the cave would save roughly $6,700 in energy costs per year.

Pratt sourced LED lights for the cave from Chris Hanner of Batteries Plus Bulbs.

When looking to make the switch, Hanner suggest-

ed trying out a few LEDs to “make sure what you’re getting is what you want.”

Working with Hanner, Pratt was interested in color quality, light output and light distribution and selected LEDs that best highlighted the formations.

Visit Fantastic Caverns at 4872 North Farm Road 125 just northwest of Springfield, Missouri and see the cave in a whole new light.

For more information about Fantastic Caverns, please call (417) 833-2010 or visit fantasticcaverns.com

LED lighting conversion for Fantastic Caverns Fantastic Caverns is replacing over 275 incandescent lights with light emitting diodes (LED.) Compared to traditional lighting, LEDs reduce maintenance and energy consumption 70-90%. Traditional bulbs convert 10% of energy into light, while 90% is released as heat. Whereas LEDs convert 95% of energy into light and dissipate heat. Within caverns, the heat produced by incandescent lights can encourage the growth of “lamp flora,” which includes a variety of moss and algae, among other things, which is disruptive to a cavern’s natural environment.

Caves, with lightless passages and damp humid air, present challenges to touring, but LEDs offer great benefits to cave tourism. LEDs experience “lumen depreciation,” a gradual reduction in light output, as opposed to a sudden burn out like incandescent bulbs. Even in difficult natural conditions, LEDs operate more effectively than traditional light bulbs.

Shannon County Shannon County residents will be asked to approve a county-wide sales tax of onehalf of one percent (1/2%) for the purpose of providing law enforcement services for the county. Shannon County Sheriff Darrin Brawley explained

From Page One what benefits the department and citizens will receive from the small increase.

“The funds from that tax will basically employ two more deputies and two more vehicles. What people don’t realize is that currently we can’t run 24-hours a day. At 11 p.m. we are strictly on call out. With these added deputies and vehicles we will be able to run a 24hour shift most days.” Sheriff Brawley went on to state that there are currently only four on the staff, including himself.

“Part of that money from the tax the commissioners have committed to setting back a large portion of for a new jail, which is very much needed.”

The current Shannon County Jail was constructed around 1973 and has three holding cells. The jail can house a maximum of 16 persons. “I’ve had it full since I’ve been here,” stated Sheriff Brawley. “My

over flow that I have goes to Winona and that costs the county $40 per night.”

Sheriff Brawley explained that the average person in Shannon County will see an increase of about $13 to $18 over the course of the year if this tax is passed. “That’s a small amount of money considering it will pull an estimated $240,000 on a very good year.

That seems like a lot of money but by the time I hire two deputies, get their insurance, certifications, incidental fees it’s around $40,000 per year per deputy. The vehicles are the same way, purchase price, upkeep and insurance. It all adds up.”

In the future Sheriff Brawley is working on bidding a more enhanced 911 system. “We do not have a 911 system at all right now. When you dial 911 in Shannon County you don’t know if the call is going

GSCC Celebration of Caring April 8 The public is invited to join Good Samaritan Care Clinic of Mountain View in a Celebration of Caring at its annual fundraising event to benefit the free medical and dental services the clinic provides to the uninsured and low-income. The event on Saturday evening, April 8, will begin at 5 p.m. and will include a reception, silent auction, dinner and program.

Good Samaritan Care Clinic is excited to present retired Col. Thomas Akers as its guest speaker. Mr. Akers, a native of Eminence, MO, studied math at University of Missouri at Rolla (UMR).

After graduation he served as the Eminence High School Principal for four years and then joined the U.S. Air Force.

He became interested in flying and after graduating from the USAF Test Pilot School in 1983 as a Flight Test Engineer (backseater), he flew backseat in F-4, T-38 and F-15 aircraft for four years at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. He was accepted into the NASA astronaut program in 1987 and

Wednesday, March 29, 2017

flew four space shuttle missions and did four space walks including two on the first Hubble serving mission. He left NASA in 1997 to become the Air Force ROTC commander at UMR. He retired from the Air Force in 1999 and then taught math at UMR until 2010. He and his wife Kaye have lived on their small horse farm near Eminence since 2004. The program will also include guest musician, Danyal Sallee and string quartet members from the Springfield Symphony Orchestra. Danyal Sallee started violin at the age of 6 in St. Louis, MO. She is a violinist with Springfield Symphony Orchestra, Springfield Drury Civic and she is Concertmaster of the Southern Ozarks Community Orchestra in Willow Springs. Danyal is also the primary violin teacher for the Ozark String Project in Ava and the founder and director of the Southern Ozarks Youth Orchestra. She has a thriving private studio and teaches violin and viola in both Ava and Willow Springs. Other quartet mem-

bers include Tim Daucher, a violinist with Springfield Symphony Orchestra, Springfield Drury Civic and the Arkansas Philharmonic; Karen Bates-Crouch, an attorney in Ava and a part-time member of Springfield Symphony Orchestra; and Anna Tripi, a violist with Springfield Symphony.

Reservations are required for the event. Donations of $50 per person or $300 for sponsorship of a table of six or seven are requested. All donations will benefit Good Samaritan Care Clinic and may be partially deductible as a charitable contribution. The benefit will be held at First Baptist Church on Highway 60 in Mountain View. The evening is funded, in part, by the following generous “gold sponsors”: Landmark Bank of Mountain View, Mountain View Lumber Co., Shelter Insurance of Mountain View, Team Dollar Mart, West Plains Bank/Liberty Branch, and West Plains savings & Loan; and “silver sponsor”: Godfather’s Pizza Express in Mtn. View.

A silent auction held during the reception will offer a wide variety of unique and exciting items and gift certificates, from local and other vendors.

Silent auction items will be on display in the gymnasium of First Baptist Church on Saturday afternoon, April 8. Individuals interested in making reservations may contact Good Samaritan Care Clinic by telephone at (417) 934-6500 or by fax at (417) 934-6536.

to Texas, Dent, Oregon, Carter or Howell County depending on how that call hits the tower.”

Sheriff Brawley concluded that right now Shannon County has the lowest sales tax in the state at 5.2% where most counties, like Howell, the sales tax is 7.162%.

The Shannon County Commission is asking residents to approve a county-wide road sales tax of one-half of oner percent (1/2%). Twenty-five (25%) of the revenue generated by the sales tax will be shared with the incorporated cities entirely located within Shannon County. Eminence will receive 30%, Birch Tree will receive 30% and Winona will receive 30%. Summersville, which is only partially located inside Shannon County, will receive 10% of the allocated monies.

According to Commissioner Herman Kelly the funds will be used solely for the purpose of street and road improvements and maintenance.

“This increase is just for sales tax,” Kelly stressed. “The tourists that come through this area will contribute to the fund as they pay sales tax. It’s just a very small increase that we are asking to help benefit the entire county.” Kelly went on to explain that for the last four years he has to cut the county’s operating budget back $50,000.

There are approximately 700 miles of county roads and 25 miles of blacktop in Shannon County. “It’s just time,” stated Kelly. “Our roads are at the point that we have to do something. We are spreading the funds to Birch Tree, Winona and Eminence, they should get

around $21,000 while Summersville, which is not entirely located inside Shannon County, will still benefit and receive about $7,000. I see this as an investment back into our county. It’s re-investing back into our towns to make Shannon County a better place to live and work.”

Other items on the ballot for Shannon County include Salem Memorial Hospital District (six year term), Susan Terry and Willie Strader; Director District #6 (two year unexpired term), George Gruendel and Sheri Green.

Local school districts: Bunker R-III School District (three year term), voters to vote for three candidates, Terri Patterson, Jason Davis, Allen Ritter, Mike Dickerson and Shannon Williams; Eminence R-1 School District (3 year term), voters to vote for three candidates, Ryan Liggett, Charles Reese, Laura Alcorn and Jim Keeling; Southern Reynolds Co R-II School District (three year term) voters to vote for three, Phillip Roberts, Jamie Chilton, Frank Roderman and Beth Buford.

If the Oak Hill R-I School District’s will allow the district to receive additional funding

from the state under the Small Schools Authorization currently estimated to be approximately $25,000 per year.

City government: The City of Birch Tree will vote for Alderman (two year term), voters will vote for two, Fred McAfee and Robert Miley.

Church Directory

Annabella, Rylee, Gabriella, Olivia, Skyler, Shayla, Kayla, Trenton, Macey, Sarina, and Wyatt; one sister-in-law Avis Thomas of Summersville, MO; and two nephews Randy and Rocky Thomas.

Although Jeraldine had various places of employment, her most enjoyable was her 32 years of services at Busch Stadium where she held the title of Stand Manager of one of the many food stands. Jeri was a hard core Cardinal fan. Many times you would hear her refer to the Cardinals as “her boys”.

While employed at Busch Stadium, she received many awards and recognition for being best team worker.

Some of her special times were having backyard barbeques with the family and family vacations spent at the lake. Mother had a tender heart toward the veterans, the orphan children and the needy. She gave caringly to each of these organizations.

A hole as been left in the hearts of all her family. Her family and friends will miss her dearly.

Officers were advised of a female at the police department that was wishing to speak with an officer about child custody. Officers made contact with the female and she stated that her ex-husband had not brought the child to be exchanged as specified in the paperwork. After looking through the paperwork and attempting to make contact with the male, officers attempted to find his residence and make contact with the male in person. His residence could not be located. Howell County was notified and advised that they found the male and he had an active warrant. The male was taken into custody by the deputy and the mother was notified that she could pick up the children.

Officers were dispatched to the Walmart parking lot for a minor vehicle collision with a deer, no injuries. Officers made contact with the reporting party and they stated that they hit a deer on South 17 Highway and asked if they found the deer if they could keep the animal.

He said he was just there to pick up a lady to take her to an appointment. Officers told him that he may not be allowed on the property. He said he understood but was not getting out and was just picking her up.

Officers said at this time they did not have a problem with that or a concern. He left the area.

A female subject wished to speak to an officer and report that male subject had no license according to CaseNet. Officers told her they were unaware of his current license status but would look it up later. She said she just wanted to pass it along so the next time he is driving the police could stop him.

A male subject came into the police department saying that a female subject had been following him around and cutting him off in her vehicle. He said he wouldn’t be able to get his lady friend to her appointment like this. Officers asked where it was. He said it was at McVicker’s. Officers told him they would escort him to the business. Officers then escorted him to the business and waited to see if the female subject drove by, which she did not.

A resident requested police assistance with her phone. Upon arrival she showed officers messages on her phone that it had attempting to text 911. Officers advised her that many phones int he area were having this problem and she needed to contact her provider. She said that was a relief and she thought maybe someone had put a hit on her or something if her phone was telling her to call 911.

A female subject walked into the police department and said when she was going to drop off her kids to their father’s house, which they hadn’t seen in over a year, he had lit up a weed pipe in front of her and he was drunk and she didn’t want to leave them there. Officers went to the residence and spoke with the father. He said he had been drinking lightly since 9 a.m. but it was his day off and he should be allowed to. Officers did not detect the father to be highly intoxicated. He told officers that she got mad at him because he wouldn’t give her any names to any weed dealers when she asked him for one. He said she used to be really bad into pills and he didn’t want any part of that. Officers did not smell or see any weed or paraphernalia in the area and the father stated he did not do that anymore since he was trying to get his kids back. Officers cleared the residence at that time.

West Plains couple first weight loss surgeries at OMC Escort Services That Can Help Seniors With The Rigors of Travel Dear Savvy Senior, Do you know of any services that help seniors with the rigors of traveling? My youngest daughter is getting married in a few months and would love to have my 82-year old mother attend, but she needs help flying across the country.

Searching Daughter Dear Searching, Traveling can be daunting under the best circumstances but for elderly seniors, those with disabilities, or those recovering or rehabilitating from an illness or injury, it can seem particularly overwhelming or unmanageable.

Fortunately, there are a number of companies that provides traveling companion/escort services to help older adults with the rigors of travel.

Whether it’s seniors going on vacation or grandparents wanting to join their far-off families for weddings and graduations, travel companions help clients who need help moving through airports, managing luggage, navigating busy terminals and hotel lobbies and much more.

Some companion services even provide personal care like medication reminders, dressing, bathing and feeding. And for those with specific medical needs, traveling nurse services are available too.

But be aware that these services aren’t cheap. You will pay for the travel companion’s tickets, the companion’s hotel room if necessary, meals, incidentals and fees for the service. The price to accompany a client on a plane trip within the United States – including the companion fees and travel costs for all parties – can range anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 or more for coach airfare. Business or first class would cost more.

To locate a travel companion service in your area, search online for “senior travel companion” or “senior travel escort,” followed by your mom’s city or state. Or use an experienced national service like Flying Companions (FlyingCompanions.com) or FirstLight Home Care (FirstLightHomeCare. com), which has a national network of franchises that provides in-home care for seniors, and offers travel companion programs in about one-third of its 130 franchises.

Or, for medical travel companions do a search for “traveling nurse escort” or “medical travel companion,” or checkout Travel Care & Logistics (YourFlightNurse.com), which provides registered nurses as escorts.

If, however, your mom doesn’t require a lot of assistance, or if you can’t afford a travel escort, consider asking a trusted family member or friend that has some air travel experience.

Questions to Ask If you’re interested in hiring a travel companion service to help your mom, there are a number of things you need to check into to ensure you get the right escort.

First, if you mom requires personal or medical care while traveling, find out if the escort is trained to manage her healthcare needs. What sort of medical certifications do they have? (Nursing credentials? C.P.R. training? etc.)

Also, find out how many trips the companion has taken with clients. Have they completed trips with travelers like your mom? How long has the travel service company been in business? What is the company’s safety record? And what sort of insurance does it carry, and what and who does it cover?

Also, get a quote breaking down exactly what you’ll be required to pay, in addition to the companion’s fees. And, get a list of two or three clients/references who has used their service and call them.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Airon and Shelby Langle, Thayer, are the parents of a baby boy, Oliver Blaine, born on March 18 at 9:49 p.m. at OMC. He weighed 8 pounds 10 1/2 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long.

His sibling is Rebecca, 4. Grandparents are Josh and Cynthia McDaniel, Stanford, NC; Carl Goodman, Ash Flat, AR; Nick Rodriguez, Little Rock, AR; and A.J. and Christa Foster, Thayer.

John and Nicole Smith of West Plains are obsessed with My 600-Pound Life, a reality show where each episode follows a year in the life of a morbidly obese person. Together, John and Nicole weighed 615 pounds at the beginning of their weight loss journey, with Nicole weighing in at 275 and John at 340. The couple knew they could not reach their weight loss goals alone, and sought help from Dr. Magdy Giurgius, a board certified bariatric surgeon at Ozarks Medical Center Surgical Specialist Clinic.

“We knew we had come to the right place to begin this journey. The family atmosphere that we experienced from Dr. Giurgius and his staff just felt right,” said Nicole.

“And the warmth and compassion from Dr. Giurgius made it seem right to trust him with, basically, our lives,” John added.

John’s weight loss goal is fueled by his need for ankle surgery. Born with a birth defect of an extra tendon in his foot, he had surgery when he was young to remove the tendon and reset the foot. The surgery didn’t repair the problem and he soon began walking on the side of his foot. A few more surgeries, metal bracket and screws put in, and he was still in severe pain when walking.

He met with an ankle surgeon in Springfield and was told he weighed too much for the surgery to be a success. John was referred to a pain management clinic and it appeared that his only option was to be on pain medication the rest of his life.

“I decided that I wasn’t going to settle for that. I want to lose the weight and go back to that ankle surgeon and say, ‘Am I too fat now?’ ” John said. “I wanted to get off the pain meds, get back to a real life, and be able to run with my son.”

John and Nicole’s son, Zackary, is a motivator for them

both. “We want to be healthy not only for our sake, but for Zack’s, too,” Nicole said. “We are planning to drive down to Mammoth Spring to walk around the park with him. That is something that we would have never considered before.”

After the initial visit with Dr. Giurgius, John and Nicole began their treatment plan prior to their gastric sleeve surgery.

John started his appointments with Dr. Aaron Newton, a primary care doctor at OMC Gainesville Medical Clinic in January 2016. Nicole soon followed, and began seeing Dr. Newton in April 2016.

They both met with Dr. Newton monthly to weigh in, visit about their progress, or work to figure out what went wrong if they didn’t lose weight for the month. They also had preoperative appointments with Chris Henson, OMC Dietician; Josh Drummond, OMC Physical Therapist; Jennifer Crockarell, OMC Bariatric Coordinator, and Dr. Jennifer Long, OMC Psychologist.

“We both found the support system we needed in Dr. Giurgius, Dr. Newton and the bariatric surgery team. They were all there for us. When I couldn’t break the 300 pound mark, Dr. Newton took the time to talk to me to find out what was working and what wasn’t. He got me back on track,” John said.

During Dr. Newton’s care prior to surgery, John lost 63 pounds and Nicole lost 49 pounds. The monthly visits, weigh-ins, and treatment plan were documented for insurance purposes, and in both cases, insurance covered their visits and their weight loss surgery.

“This is not an easy fix.

This is a lifestyle change. We changed to a low carb, low calorie diet,” Nicole said. “It’s a mind thing, you have to set yourself up to win and not fail,” John added. John and Nicole both stressed that keeping a food journal is important. “It keeps you accountable,” Ni-

cole said. They use the phone app My Fitness Pal to log their meals.

Dr. Giurgius performed Nicole’s gastric sleeve surgery on January 25, 2017 and John’s on February 1, 2017. Gastric Sleeve Surgery consists of creating a small, sleeve-shaped stomach about the size of a banana, during a laparoscopic surgery. Weight loss occurs because the procedure causes the stomach to tolerate a limited amount of food, causing the feeling of fullness more quickly.

Nicole had her surgery on a Wednesday and was back to work on Friday. “By Sunday, I was able to move perfectly fine, but it took about a week and a half to not have any pain when doing movements that required using my stomach muscles,” Nicole said.

John’s recovery was a little more difficult. “It was about a week before I was getting around. I did make myself get up and walk when I felt bloated or sick to my stomach,” John said.

“It definitely helps having your partner go through this

with you,” John said. “You need a strong support system, and we had one with each other. For those who don’t, we created a Facebook group, so we can help others who are considering gastric sleeve surgery,” Nicole said. The group can be found on Facebook in a search for: West Plains Gastric Sleeve Journey.

The couple still has a ways to go in meeting their goals. Nicole’s goal weight is 140 to 160 pounds and John’s goal weight is 180 to 200 pounds. “It’s not an easy journey,” Nicole said.

“But we have a wonderful support system with Dr. Giurgius, Dr. Newton and Chris Henson.” That support continues for John and Nicole until they reach their weight loss goal and beyond. They will have follow-up appointments with the bariatric surgery team which include continuous monitoring of weight loss, nutrition counseling, adherence to vitamin intake and daily exercise and activities.

Elk

to determine when they drop their calves; this is the most efficient way new-born calves can be captured and fitted with radio collars. Having a portion of the calves collared each year provides important information about their expected survival rate.

The current estimate for population size of Missouri’s elk is around 139, which includes 33 adult bulls, 11 yearling bulls,

The Standard News From Page One

65 cows and 30 calves. These numbers indicate a healthy balance in the bull to cow and that the elk population is slowly growing. It is particularly encouraging that yearling cows are being bred, which is also indicative of a growing population.

The Peck Ranch Refuge and elk-viewing auto tour will be closed from April 1 to July 1 to minimize stress and human

interference during the elk calving period. The public may still access that part of Peck Ranch Conservation Area outside the refuge during this time. The elk-viewing driving tour on Current River Conservation Area is open year round.

For more information or help with conservation matters call conservation agents Brad Hadley at (573) 230-3706 or Zack Swindle at (573) 230-6174.

Angler from Imperial hooks state-record skipjack herring The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that Ben Faulkenberry of Imperial became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he hooked a skipjack herring on Joachim Creek in Jefferson County using a rod and reel.

The new “pole and line” record skipjack herring caught by Faulkenberry on March 7 weighed 2 pounds, 11 ounces. It broke the previous state-record of 2 pounds, 5 ounces. Faulkenberry was using a 1/8-ounce purple road runner for a lure when

Page 11

mountainviewstandard.com

he caught the skipjack herring.

“The skipjack put up a pretty good fight, but I got it in as fast as I could,” Faulkenberry said.

This wasn’t the first time Faulkenberry caught a good size skipjack herring on Joachim Creek.

“The day before while I was fishing for bass, I caught a pretty nice size skipjack herring, but I released it because I didn’t think twice about it being a state record,” he said. “Once I got home I started to wonder what the

record was, so I checked it out. Once I found out the record I went back to Joachim Creek the next day and caught the new state record on my third cast.”

Faulkenberry says he still can’t believe he has a Missouri state record, which was confirmed by MDC staff using a certified scale in Imperial.

“I can’t believe it! If you would have told me I would hold the state record for skipjack herring, I would have never believed it,” he said.

“This is just an amazing experience.”

Anglers often catch skipjack herring to use for bait.

The fish is boney, lacking in flavor, and is seldom used as food. But it fights spectacularly when hooked and can provide considerable sport on light tackle. The oil present in its flesh is said by fishermen to attract catfish.

Skipjacks can usually be found in swift water below dams and around the ends of wing dikes.

Faulkenberry says he plans on mounting his state-record fish.

Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl.
