Missouri
CDC test confirms Missouri traveler infected with Zika virus The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed a case of Zika virus in a Missouri man who had travelled to Haiti, a known area of Zika transmission. This is the first confirmed
case of Zika virus infection reported in a Missouri resident. Nearly 80 percent of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms. Typically, symptoms are mild and include fever, rash, joint soreness and/or redness
of eyes. International health officials are examining the connection between pregnant women contracting the virus and a birth defect called microcephaly in their newborn infants. According to the
Howell Co.
CDC, babies with microcephaly often have smaller head sizes and brains that might not have developed properly. According to the CDC, See Zika on Page 8

bilities. “We now have three new Roche analyzers that can run more than 150 chemistry and immunology tests per hour,” said Angie Popken, lab manager. She and six Mercy co-workers provide 24-hour coverage. “We’re testing things like glucose levels, lipids, thyroid, PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and cardiac testing – and can now offer more in-house tests with no downtime.” “The more robust new equipment offers a much-needed back-up,” Popken said. “In the past, we wouldn’t have been able to run samples if the machine was being maintained. Now we’re more streamlined.” That means patients could see less of a wait, whether they’re in the emergency
room, having a quick procedure or staying longer at the hospital. “It was vital that we become more modernized with the quickest turnaround possible,” said Cindy Tooley, executive director of operations at Mercy St. Francis Hospital. “It did require us to do some construction to accommodate the new machines, but it was well worth it.” Last fall, three lab department co-workers traveled across the Midwest for extensive training on the equipment, which include a Roche Cobas® 6000, a Roche Cobas® c311, and a Roche Cobas® e411. The highly reliable, low maintenance machines have become an industry standard worldwide.
MDC
Refuge part of Peck Ranch area to close temporarily
Ensuring the population stability of a popular wildlife resident is the primary reason behind the upcoming closure of the refuge area at the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Peck Ranch Conservation Area. Peck Ranch Area’s refuge will be closed April 1 to July 1 to minimize stress and human interference during the elk calving period. Peck Ranch is home to about 120 elk, the majority of which roam on Peck Ranch’s 11,500-acre refuge. The spring closing of Peck Ranch’s refuge has been an annual occurrence since MDC’s elk restoration project began in 2011. Public access will still be allowed to the approximately 12,000 acres of the area that are outside the area’s marked refuge fence. Peck Ranch Conservation Area encompasses more than 23,000 acres in Shannon and Carter counties. Peck Ranch’s elk-viewing automobile route is included in the area that will be closed to the public. However, the auto tour on Current River Conservation Area is open year round. For more information, call the Peck Ranch Conservation Area, 573-323-4249 or MDC’s Ozark Regional Office in West Plains, 417-256-7161. Information is also available online at the “Atlas” feature at mdc. mo.gov.

Good Samaritan Care Clinic to host BBQ Celebration Good Samaritan Care Clinic is thrilled to invite the community to its fifth annual fundraising “BBQ Celebration” Saturday evening, April 2, 2016, 6 p.m. The event will include a reception, silent auction, a BBQ platter dinner with pulled pork & braised beef brisket, and program. The clinic is honored to welcome Jack Thurman, president of BKD Family Office and BKD Wealth Advisors, LLC, as its featured speaker. Mr. Thurman, a 1983 graduate of Drury Univer-
sity, Springfield, Missouri, with a B.A. degree in business administration, began providing wealth management services for high-net-worth families and institutions in 1986. He obtained his Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) designation from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, where he also completed advanced portfolio management education. He’s also completed the Financial Management for the Family Office program from Gra-
ziadio School of Business and Management, Pepperdine University. Difficult life circumstances began to shape Jack at an early age. He grew up in a rough neighborhood on the outskirts of Chicago, in a single-wide trailer with his parents. When his father walked out in 1972, Jack’s mother relocated the family to the Ozarks. Though difficult, his experiences did not leave him bitter; they, along with a very tenacious and optimistic mother, instilled in him the “tenacity” to outthink his circumstanc-
es and reach up for help. He now mentors others and helps them discover the secrets to real financial & personal success. The event will also welcome The Rabun Sisters of Hartshorn, MO. This talented group, consisting of five musical sisters ranging in age from 10 to 20, specializes in hard-driving bluegrass gospel with beautiful harmony vocals. 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 generous donations from Missouri Foundation for Health and Walker Shelter Insurance of Mountain 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 Friday and Saturday, April 1st & 2nd. Bids may be placed during the reception time on the evening of the benefit. Individuals interested in making reservations may contact Good Samaritan Care Clinic by telephone at (417) 934-6500 or by fax at (417) 934-6536. More information is available online at www.goodsamaritancareclinic.org
Fifth Anniversary event coming up at Piney River Brewing Piney River Brewing Company is celebrating their fifth anniversary on Sat., Mar. 19th at the brewery in Bucyrus. The “5th Aleiversary” party will be held at the BARn— the brewery and tap room located off Junction ZZ—from 12 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”. Last year’s event brought in almost 1,000 people from across the region to the Piney River Farm. “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. Crankbait Cream Ale, the brewery’s spring seasonal will also be available. Paw Paw French Saison will be poured again for the day, and some yet-to-be-named beers may also be available. “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 2014 anniversary event. “This year’s Mule Team IPA has strong hop flavor and aroma,” Brian Durham said, explaining that the 2016 imperial IPA will be 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. Mule Team IPA takes almost a month to complete from brewing to packaging. The “5th 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 five 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 purchase multiple four-packs to ration it out throughout the year. “Mule Team IPA is a beer that can be enjoyed a few months down the road if it is cellared properly,” she said. In addition to the handcrafted ales, the Aleiversary will feature two bands providing live music—Casey Lynne and the Dealbreakers and Deep Fried Squirrel, both Congratulations to Vernon Cooper from West Plains. from Springfield.

Twisted Mikes Food Truck of Springfield will provide a tasty twist on traditional sandwiches, tacos and fries.
Piney River Brewing is located on Durham’s 80acre farm, operating out of a restored 70-year old barn. Durham founded the brewery with his wife, Joleen, in 2010 with a 10-gallon brewing system. In 2015, Piney River Brewing produced over 2,200 barrels of beer. A $1.2 million expansion was completed on the
farm, allowing the brewery to increase production with a new brewhouse, canning line and cold storage. The brewery has distribution throughout most of Missouri and Arkansas. Additional information about Piney River Brewing and the 5th Aleiversary can be found at www.pineyriverbrewing.com

MTNF: Expected $44 million added to local economy An economic study on Mark Twain National Forest’s Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project was recently completed by University of Missouri researchers. The $20 million invested in the project by the USDA’s Forest Service and non-governmental agencies was awarded to increase the diversity of Missouri landscapes and wildlife habitats by restoring native shortleaf pine-oak woodlands. It is expected to support an average of 138 jobs per year
and generate $34 million in labor income. $44 million in value is expected to be added to the local 9-county economy from 2012 to 2019. The nine Missouri counties with wood processing facilities near the project include Butler, Carter, Oregon, Reynolds, Ripley, Shannon, Texas, Wayne and Wright. According to the study, these counties are where the project is expected to have its largest impact. “We are excited to share the economic study results
and continue restoring one of Missouri’s treasured landscapes on Mark Twain National Forest,” said Mark Twain National Forest Supervisor Bill Nightingale. “Positive economic impacts are one of the many important benefits that forest restoration provides to local communities. This study helps demonstrate that value.” More information about Missouri’s Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project can be found online at http://1.usa.gov
/1UYxbih. The economic study is also available online at http://1.usa.gov/1X0daIX. For more information about the Mark Twain National Forest, go to www. fs.usda.gov/mtnf. Mark Twain National Forest is the largest public land manager in Missouri with 1.5 million acres in 29 counties in southern and central Missouri. Mark Twain National Forest is managed to restore Missouri’s natural communities and maintain a healthy, working forest.

Standard News Archives - Thursday, March 12, 1970 - Recently a Springfield Division crew of the Frisco Railroad was in the Mtn. View area completing a regular cycle of renewal and servicing of the Frisco track from Willow Springs to three miles east of Mtn. View. The crew laid some 10,000 ties in this stretch of track at a cost of $8 per tie, including labor and actual cost of the tie. While the work was being done by the 23-man crew, two Frisco safety inspectors, Bob Schmidt and Guy Pollard, were observing the work routine of the crew. Bob Schmidt stated that the safety of the men was of top most concern to Frisco, hence, their motto - "Strong on Safety." It was said that statistics prove that the men were safer on the job than at home. It is stated that more than twice as many accidents happen in the workers' homes than on the job.

OzSBI offers Supervisory Certificate Series in West Plains A recent survey by the Stanford Graduate School of Business’s found that nearly two-thirds of people in management do not receive coaching or leadership advice from outside consultants or coaches. 100% of them stated that they are receptive to making changes based on feedback. A good (or bad) manager affects the overall health of a company, including employee performance, turnover and satisfaction. Good management doesn’t just happen. And even the best of leaders have blind spots. The training of good managers takes time, energy, resources and money, which is why most organizations find it hard to invest in. Train the managers your business needs by attending the “Supervisory Certificate Series” starting Wednesday March 30th. This unique four-part series is brought to you by the University of Missouri’s Missouri Training Institute and the Ozarks Small Business Incubator. This series is ideal for both experienced supervisors and new managers in all industries including manufacturing, government, for-profit and non-profit. Through faciliated discussions and an engaging learning process, attendees will gain a common language and techniques to improve their leadership role in their organization. The Supervisory Certificate Series will address the following topics: building effective relaitonships, communicating successfully, leading high-performance teams, motivating emplyees, guiding conflict resolution, and project management. The series will be held on four consecutive Wednesdays: March 30, April 6, Apirl 13, April 20. All classes will be held at the Ozarks Small Business Incubator, 408 Washington Avenue, West Plains. The cost for the entire series is $545 or $495 for OzSBI members; a full-day session or two half day sessions of your choice is $195 or $165 for OzSBI members; or one half day session of your
choice for $145 or $125 for OzSBI members. Enrollment in the series can be done online at www. ozsbi.com or by calling 417256-9724. The deadline to register is Friday, March 18, 2015.

By focusing on relationships, you gain trust and respect. This full day session will examine personality differences, generational differences, and how to proactively build trust.

tion. This workshop will explore the topic of employee motivation and why the carrot and stick approach to energizing your employees just doesn’t work.

One Generation to the Next
Some of my fondest memories growing up were of my family and I spending time together hunting and fishing. On the opening day of trout season, it wasn’t about what we caught, but it was about spending that time together, and for us that was at beautiful Montauk State Park. For many people across the country, hunting and fishing is more than just a recreational activity; it has become a way of life. The people in Southeast and South central Missouri are fortunate to be situated next to the beautiful Mark Twain National Forest; most of the 1.5 million acres are right in Missouri’s 8th Congressional District. It is important to me that Missourians have the right to enjoy hunting and fishing and that these rights are not obstructed by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. who have never set foot in the Mark Twain. The traditions of hunting, fishing and the outdoors have been championed throughout our history by Presidents George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Teddy Roosevelt—who established national forests, game preserves and national parks. Recently, the right to enjoy the traditions of hunting and fishing has come into question by interests outside of Missouri. In order to assure the residents of our state can carry on the time honored traditions of hunting and fishing, I included two amendments in the SHARE Act, which passed the House with bipartisan support last week. The SHARE Act was supported by the Sportsmen’s Foundation and was aimed at expanding access for hunters, fisherman and those who enjoy the outdoors. My first amendment, adopted by the House, prevents federal agencies from placing physical barriers on trails which were only serving to obstruct legal hunting access to places like the Mark Twain. I have heard from numerous hunters and fisherman in Southeast Missouri who were frustrated to find trails closed during the peak of hunting season. My amendment will ensure that these hunters are not locked out from areas where they are legally allowed to hunt. My second amendment, also adopted by the House, prohibits the federal government from placing any restriction on hunting and fishing in the Mark Twain National Forest. It was important to me to include this amendment in the bill to secure the rights of avid sportsmen and protect us against an overzealous administration who has a never ending appetite for new regulations restricting our Constitutionally protected freedoms. You can count on me to continue to support efforts to protect Missourian’s rights to freely hunt and fish, but perhaps more importantly, to promote the tradition of teaching an appreciation for the great outdoors from one generation to the next.

fairs for over 30 years and will be genuinely missed by her repeat customers and friends that look forward to her new annual line. Joan loved Samba and Mariachi music and had the soul of a southern sexy Latino lover. She loved everything about the hot tropics except the actual trip, which she vehemently refused to make. Joan married her true love Kenneth Mahan when she was a teenager and they had a lifetime of friendship, a deep love and three daughters. Joan was not a delicate flower. She met each challenge head on and was most certainly the matriarch of her family. She will be sorely missed. Joan is preceded in death by her mother, Grace Williams; husband Kenneth Mahan; her daughter Angela Mahan and her grandson Clay Foster.
Joan is survived by her brothers Gene Jadwin of Prescott, AZ, Craig and Melody Hall of Aurora, CO, sister Toni and Steve Emery of Eminence, MO; her daughters Victoria Mahan in the home they shared in Springfield, MO, Kristina and Ernest Hartley of Noel, MO, her grandchildren Chelsea Mahan of Prescott Valley, AZ, Kyle and Krissy Lewis of Webb City, MO, and Amanda Lewis of Columbia, MO.

She shared her intent to stand up to the federal government against Obama Care and lawlessness in the State of Missouri. “As a former prosecutor, I look forward to restoring law and order to our streets and filling the void of leadership in the Governor’s Mansion by leading our General Assembly to pass meaningful economic reforms that our state desperately needs.” Candidate Peter Kinder of Cape Girardeau, said he decided not to seek a fourth term as Missouri’s second-highest official but instead decided to run for governor. Kinder, who has never lost a state race, shared that he is a “trusted winner,” as he shared how much he was humbled and honored to serve and have the support of Missou-
ri. Kinder shared that the first responsibility of state government is to ‘preserve order,’ during the events of Ferguson. He led the Missouri Republicans in the fight to pass right to carry. Candidate Eric Greitens of St. Louis County, is a former Navy Seal and is a Rhodes Scholar. He graduated from Duke University and served in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. “Missouri’s best days are yet to come,” shared Greitens. He shared he is seeking the seat as governor because, “career politicians and special interests are taking our state in the wrong direction.” “There’s something special about this community,” led off Candidate John Brunner, as he called members present to put their ‘faith to action,” Brunner, a St. Louis businessman, was an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps, manufacturer, missionary, vigilant in the defense against liberty and our U.S. Constitution; my hope residing upon divine providence to restore our America. Statewide candidates in attendance included two candidates for the next Missouri Attorney General; Josh Hawley a conservative constitutional attorney, native of Lexington, Missouri in rural Lafayette County who has been to the Supreme Court and won. He has defeated the Obama Administration twice at the Supreme Court. Candidate for Attorney General, Kurt Schafer shared his strong background with ‘real experience prosecuting criminals and real courtroom expe-
riences. Schafer serves as State Senator from Boone County and serves to fight to protect Missourians’ gun rights and private property rights. Bev Randles, Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, raised in Sikeston, Missouri is a committed conservative leader who believes Jefferson City needs someone who comes from outside of the political system, to take a hard look at how government operates and fight to make it smaller, more efficient, and less burdensome on taxpayers and job creators. Candidate for the next Missouri Secretary of State, Will Kraus serves in the Missouri National Guard. He has focused on implementing real solutions for Missouri’s problems. “I believe in providing our children with a quality education should be the state’s number one priority.” He stood as ‘strong defender of our children,’ as he led an effort to strengthen child sex offender laws. “I’ve led on the battlefield and in the State Senate, now I’m ready to tackle the problems facing Missouri voters and businesses as Secretary of State.” Candidate for State Treasurer, Dan Brown is a third generation farmer operating a small cow-calf, hay and small grain farm with son and grandchildren. He served as a Veterinarian and small business owner serving Rolla area for over 40 years. “With your support, I will continue fighting for the people of the state of Missouri with a conservative, common sense approach.” Brown opposes all efforts to raise taxes. He works to protect our Second Amendment Freedoms. The evening’s events concluded with benediction by Howell County Northern Commissioner Bill Lovelace.

College of Gastroenterologists calls colorectal cancer one of the most preventable and curable types of cancer when detected early. One way to detect colorectal cancer early is to be screened using the fecal occult blood test. The American Cancer Society recommends that individuals over the age of 50 who are at average risk follow one of five screening options: yearly fecal occult blood test; flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years; yearly fecal occult blood test plus sigmoidoscopy every five years; double contrast barium enema every five years or colonoscopy every 10 years. An individual who has a family history or a personal history of colorectal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease may begin colorectal cancer screening at an earlier age as directed by a physician. There are several symptoms to colorectal cancer. Symptoms may include a
change in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool that lasts for more than a few days; a feeling of needing to have a bowel movement that is not relieved by doing so; rectal bleeding or blood in the stool; cramping or steady abdominal pain or weakness and fatigue. Other health conditions may also cause these symptoms. Only a physician can determine the cause of suspicious symptoms. Individuals should discuss any symptoms with their physician as early as possible. To request a free kit or additional information about colon cancer, contact Connie Brooks, education coordinator at TCMH, by calling 1-866-967-3311 or (417) 967-1340 or e-mail Brooks at cbrooks@tcmh.org Please leave your name, address and phone number when calling or e-mailing for a kit.

Share the Harvest:
Quarter-million pounds of venison to feed the hungry More than 4,500 deer hunters donated more than a quarter-million pounds of venison (228,306 pounds) from last season’s deer harvest to the state’s Share the Harvest program. The do-
nated deer meat will help feed hungry Missourians all around the state. Share the Harvest is coordinated by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Conserva-
tion Federation of Missouri (CFM). It works by deer hunters donating their extra venison to participating meat processors throughout the state who grind the deer meat into one-pound packag-
es. The packaged venison is then given to food banks and food pantries for distribution to Missourians in need of food assistance. The program coordinates the efforts of thousands of
School on replacing toxic fescue to be held March 31 The last stop on a four-day series of novel-endophyte fescue schools will be held at Linneus, MO March 31. Many of the Missouri studies of new nontoxic fescues were at the University of Missouri Forage Systems Research Center (FSRC), site of the school. “FSRC has 150 acres of novel-endophyte tall fescue,” says Dave Davis, superintendent. “We use it with management-intensive grazing systems.” All commercially available varieties are being compared under grazing in small-plot research, Davis says. The variety plots were seeded in September 2011. Farmers can see and compare the stands during the daylong school. “To date, all cultivars have held up well,” Davis said. “One reason for the test was to see how they held up under grazing.” “We didn’t want to promote new technology only to find that the cultivars did not persist,” he said. An endophyte-free variety promoted about 25 years ago did not survive grazing. Farmers ask Davis which variety he likes best. “I say any of the novel-endophyte cultivars are better than the infected Kentucky-31 variety they are
using.” Kentucky-31 fescue proves hardy and productive. However, it contains endophyte fungus that makes ergovaline, a toxin. That toxin cuts gains, reduces milk and lowers reproduction. The most visible loss is fescue foot, which can be fatal. Another sign of infection is cattle standing in ponds to reduce body temperatures. Plant breeders collected new endophytes to replace the toxic one. The school teaches establishment and management of the new varieties. Davis used the spray-smother-spray method to kill all infected fescue before seeding the new. The new stands were seeded just ahead of the 2012 drought. “We hayed them the first year, and then rotationally grazed them,” he said. “I wouldn’t recommend grazing a new seeding during a drought, but we stayed on top of management and the stand survived just fine.” This is the fourth year of the schools in Missouri. Now, the Alliance for Grassland Renewal, the sponsor, will expand to another state. Oklahoma will have the first such school March 28 at Welch, Okla. Pasture renovation takes more than buying seed and
In the last few years, farmers have seen record prices and high profitability. But that may not be the case in 2016, says University of Missouri Extension agricultural economist Scott Brown. “We’re going to have lower livestock prices across the board,” Brown says. “I don’t care whether you are a cattle, hog or dairy producer.” Brown expects hogs to be down $3 to $4 per hundredweight after dropping $30 from 2014 to 2015. Fed cattle prices will be in the $120 per hundredweight range, down from $140-plus a year ago. Dairy producers will also take a hit with farm milk prices dropping a dollar to $16 per hundredweight. The outlook for grains is similar. “One could suggest we’re going to have lower corn, soybeans and wheat prices,” Brown says. “A lot of that is going to hinge on what kind of weather we have as 2016 unfolds, but another good crop in the bin probably assures us more pressure on corn and soy-
bean prices as we look ahead.” Farmers are likely to plant more than 90 million acres of corn with a decent spring. Brown says that will put pressure on prices, and he doesn’t expect increased demand from exports due to a stronger dollar. With profitability getting thinner than it was, it’s important for producers to protect against downside risk. “A lot of folks are struggling with price risk management, given that prices for all ag commodities are lower,” Brown says. “So they aren’t as excited about locking those prices in, but I will remind them that prices can go lower from where we are today.” USDA projects net farm income to fall below $55 billion this year, down from more than $120 billion in 2013. Brown says that will affect more than just farmers. Machinery, fertilizer, seed and chemical suppliers are all trying to adjust to this tighter agricultural economy. “I think rural communities are going to feel some of the changes that are coming,” he says.
Ag outlook for 2016 a bit harsher than recent years

Opportunities with small acreages Small acreages offer a variety of ways to generate income, ranging from raising fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry to enhancing your property for outdoor recreation or agritourism. A University of Missouri Extension conference, April 2 in St. Joseph, will explore opportunities to put small acreages to work. The third annual Small Acreage and Land Entrepreneurs (SALE) Conference gives small-acreage owners the opportunity to learn and network on a variety of topics, and to visit with area business and agencies of interest to this group, said Randa Doty, MU Extension agricultural business specialist and one of the conference organizers. The SALE Conference will feature a variety of sessions in four concurrent tracks. Sessions are scheduled to last 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions, and are timed to allow attendees to move from track to track. Other topics include ag leases, getting off the grid, agroforestry, permaculture and displays at farmers markets. Presenters include MU Extension specialists, private landowners and representatives from the Missouri Department of Conservation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The conference runs 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Spratt Hall on the Missouri Western State University campus, St. Joseph. For map and directions, go to https:// www.missouriwestern.edu/ about/directions. A trade show starts at 8:30 a.m. and will run throughout the day. The early-bird registration deadline is March 26.
