Former Summersville bank officer pleads guilty to fraud, ID theft scheme Tom Larson, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a former Summersville, Mo., bank officer pleaded guilty in federal court today to a fraud scheme in which he took out loans for himself by stealing the identity information of bank customers. Keith Ray Smith, 44, of Summersville, waived his right to a grand jury and
pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge David P. Rush to a federal information that charges him with one count of making false statements on a loan application and one count of aggravated identity theft. Smith was employed as the bank loan officer and compliance officer at Community Bank in Summersville. Smith admitted that he took out numerous loans
in the names of several bank customers without their authorization. Smith submitted loan applications for varying amounts, totaling $81,040, between 2015 and June 2016. Smith admitted that he used the personal identification information of bank customers, including their bank account information and social security numbers, to falsely submit the loan applications.
Smith approved the loan applications for funding, then transferred the monies to his personal bank account and spent the monies to either gamble or pay for personal expenses. In addition, Smith admitted that he had used his mother’s and brother’s personal information to apply for approximately $70,000 in loans without their knowledge See Scheme on Page 4

A ribbon cutting was held at the new Greater Ozarks Center for Advanced Technology (GOCAT) on Friday, April 21. The building, located at 125 North Howell Avenue in West Plains has been a work in progress for several months. Dennis Lancaster, Dean of Academic affairs at Missouri State University-West Plains, explained the journey and all the hard work it took to make GOCAT a reality. "It was back in Fall 2014 when our region was shocked to hear that nearly 400 of our

family members, friends, and neighbors would lose their jobs at an industrial plant that had been in West Plains for over four decades. That announcement by the Robert Shaw Corporation concerning the shutdown of their West Plains plant and the moving of those jobs to Mexico, kicked many of us in the pants. We knew that we had to do something, because the pressures faced by Robert Shaw to make that decision also faced many, if not all, of our other industries in West Plains, southern

Missouri and northern Arkansas.” Lancaster went on to state that, “with the rise of new technologies, the advent of computerized mechanizations, and the wonderful but challenging pressures of innovation in a highly competitive global market, our industry partners are having to do a balancing act to keep their operations viable, sustainable, and profitable.” GOCAT is a partnership between the university, South Central Career Center (SCCC)

Thanks to a $225,000 Delta Regional Authority grant and additional funding from the city, officials are converting the former city scales building on Howell Avenue into an advanced manufacturing training center where area residents can develop the skills and knowledge needed to fill the technologically-advanced manufacturing positions of the 21st century.

Lady Eagles soccer defeats Pirates, fall to Zizzers by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com
It has been an up and down road for the Lady Eagles as they battle through Class 1, District 6. Despite their 4-51 record the Lady Eagles are improving with each game and hope to make an impact at districts.
On Monday, April 10 the Lady Eagles welcomed the Branson Lady Pirates (5-5). The game was a battle as the Lady Pirates fought to score but never managed to slip one past keeper Jaci Mantel. The first half remained scoreless until the twenty-fifth minute of play where Sophomore Amanda Mantel made a hard drive that volleyed off the keeper and

into the net, 1-0 for the Lady Eagles. Not long after the first goal Mantel would score again at the twenty-seventh minute of play. Sophomore Guadalupe Salinas dribbled past the mid-fielders and passed to Mantel who scored, 2-0. The second half of the game would remain scoreless as the Lady Pirates made a valiant effort of stopping the Lady Eagles offensive moves. The final whistle blew, a 2-0 win for the Lady Eagles. The following day the Lady Eagles traveled to Rogersville where they were defeated 2-4. Mantel scored the only two goals of the game with assists from Junior Angelina Herold. Keeper Jaci Mantel had a tremendous night with 17 saves. The next Monday had the Lady Eagles hosting rivals the West Plains Lady Zizzers. Just a few weeks ago the Lady Eagles defeated the Lady Zizzers on their home turf 3-1. Wanting a little revenge the Lady Zizzers came out fighting and never backed down. They showed this by striking first during the twenty-second minute of play. During the second half the coaching staff pulled Senior Jaci Mantel out of goal and put her on the field as a for-

ward. This proved to be a good move as Mantel scored off a free-kick from 25 yards out. The match then went into overtime. It didn't take long for the Lady Zizzers to rally and score the final blow. The Lady Zizzers scored during the first few minutes as a hard drive was made through the Lady Eagles defense and a shot was rocket-
ed past Salinas who replaced Mantel in goal. "West Plains is always a competitive game," reflected Head Coach Shelly Renegar. "They definitely came to our field wanting revenge after our first match up. It definitely showed by the way they played. We came out soft, but pulled together int he second half. I moved a
few players around, but we still couldn't quite take the lead. We will have to take what we can from the loss and move on." Next up for the Lady Eagles is Aurora on April 25 followed by a home game against Laquey on Thursday, April 27 at 5 p.m. The Lady Eagles will travel again on Tuesday, May 2 to Sikeston.

or approval in 2010 and 2011. Smith approved the loans and deposited the proceeds from the fake bank loans into his personal bank account to pay for his gambling addiction. Smith agreed to repay all the money owed in 2012, and his mother and brother agreed to resubmit new loan documents
that would take the place of the original false loan documents. Smith’s mother and brother told agents they allowed the new loan applications to be created because they did not want him to get into trouble. Under the terms of today’s plea agreement, a joint rec-

It is an honor to serve the thirty counties which make up the 8th Congressional District in southeast and south central Missouri. The best part of my job is getting to spend time with the hard-working families, farmers and business owners who make our district the greatest place to live in the world. Over the past few weeks, I had the opportunity to visit over twenty counties in our area and meet with the people who provide power, work on manufacturing lines, serve our country, care for our veterans, farm our land, teach our students and bring jobs to our area. In New Madrid, I visited the Power Plant and talked to the folks there about the challenges they face as they work to provide power to Missourians. The New Madrid Power Plant was dealing with a major regulatory burden under the previous administration and are quickly seeing relief under President Trump - allowing them to continue their work to provide clean, affordable power to farmers, small businesses and families in Missouri. During a stop in Caruthersville I visited Trinity Industries. Their facility in Caruthersville provides hundreds of jobs and can build 12 barges a week! But like me, they’re concerned about countries who cheat on trade and make it harder for American manufacturers to compete. SLP Lighting in Sullivan was another great opportunity for me to learn about how government burdens have been keeping our small businesses from reaching their potential. SLP Lighting is proud to be made in America, but like Trinity Industries, they are fighting an unfair trade system. The folks at Trinity Industries and SLP Lighting are why I wrote and passed the ENFORCE Act. This trade bill was signed into law and helps end unfair practices by allowing places like Trinity Industries to take real and meaningful action when foreign countries violate trade agreements. I also dropped by several public Listening Posts throughout our area, including stops in Rolla, Farmington, Jackson, Poplar Bluff and West Plains, and heard from people who were concerned about healthcare, government regulations, the EPA and the federal tax code. At my Listening Post in Jackson and during my visit to the American Legion and VFW Post #99 in Salem, I heard from several veterans who needed help with their Veteran’s Benefits. Making sure the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) serves our veterans is one of my biggest priorities. Last year, I worked with the American Legion and VFW Post #99 to extend the VA clinic hours in Salem. If you or someone you know needs help from places like the VA – please reach out and let us know! I was also able to visit several schools including Dexter High School, Jefferson High School in Festus, and Central High School in Park Hills. It is a tremendous honor to be able to nominate talented and brave young men and women to our prestigious United States military academies. During these school visits, I had the privilege of presenting several students at these schools with their hard-earned appointments to a military academy. Thank you to everyone who made time to talk with me over the past few weeks. Whether it’s a public listening post or visiting with farmers, families and small business owners in places like Dexter, Poplar Bluff and Sullivan, conversations like these help me better represent southeast and south central Missouri.

MDC finished CWD testing for season with no recent cases found The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has concluded its 2016-2017 sampling and testing efforts to find chronic wasting disease (CWD) in free-ranging Missouri deer. Through the cooperation and support from hunters, private land owners, taxidermists, and others, MDC tested more than 25,500 deer during the past season and found nine cases of the deadly disease, as previously reported: one in Adair, three in Franklin, one in Jefferson, two in Macon, and two in St. Clair counties. The two cases in St. Clair County were the first CWD detections found in the western part of the state. The case found in Jefferson County was the first for that county. “While we did detect CWD in a few new areas of the state, including Jefferson and St. Clair counties, the fact that we found a low number of positives is great news and indicates CWD remains relatively rare in Missouri,” said MDC Wildlife Disease Coordinator Jasmine Batten. In response to finding CWD in Jefferson and St Clair counties, and because of the detection of CWD in 2017 in hundreds of deer in northwest Arkansas near the Missouri border, MDC is expanding its CWD Management Zone from 29 to 41 counties for fall 2017. New CWD Management Zone counties include: Barry, Benton, Cedar, Dade, Hickory, Ozark , Polk, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Stone, and Taney. The existing 29 counties of the CWD Management Zone are: Adair, Boone, Callaway, Carroll, Chariton, Cole, Cooper, Crawford, Franklin, Gasconade, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Livingston, Macon, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage, Putnam, Randolph, St. Charles, St. Louis, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby, Sullivan, Warren, and Washington. Mandatory CWD Sampling Opening Weekend Pending approval in May by the Missouri Conservation Commission, MDC will again have mandatory CWD sampling during the opening weekend of the 2017 fall firearms deer season, Nov. 11 and 12. Hunters who harvest deer in mandatory-sampling counties on that Saturday and Sunday will be required to present their harvests for CWD sampling at an MDC sampling station. However, not all counties in the CWD Management Zone will be included. Mandatory CWD sampling will take place in 25 of the 41 CWD Management Zone counties. It will include the new counties added to the CWD Management Zone, counties with previous CWD positives, and counties very near previous positives. The mandatory CWD sampling counties for opening weekend will be: Adair, Barry, Benton, Cedar, Cole, Crawford, Dade, Franklin, Hick-
ory, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Macon, Moniteau, Ozark, Polk, St. Charles, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Sullivan, Stone, Taney, Warren, and Washington. “The success of the fall 2016 mandatory sampling effort and the fact CWD was detected in few locations at low occurrence gives us the ability to focus on priority counties,” explained Batten. A map of the mandatory CWD sampling counties, sampling station locations, and other details will be available online this fall at mdc.mo.gov/cwd and printed in MDC’s “2017 Fall Deer and Turkey Hunting Regulations & Information” booklet.
MDC will also offer voluntary CWD sampling opportunities throughout the 20172018 deer hunting season at participating taxidermists and designated MDC offices. Voluntary sampling locations will be available online this fall at mdc.mo.gov/cwd, or by calling MDC regional offices. This year’s findings bring the total number of free-ranging deer in Missouri confirmed to have CWD to 42. MDC has sampled more than 77,000 deer since it began testing for the disease in 2001. For more information on positive CWD cases by year and county, visit mdc. mo.gov/cwd and click on the blue box, “CWD Surveillance Summary.”
Open House to discuss rehabilitation process for Red Bluff Recreation Area The public is invited to attend an open house at Red Bluff Recreation Area on Saturday, April 29, 2017, to learn about plans to relocate campsites and restrooms out of the Huzzah Creek floodplain. Forest Service managers are evaluating plans to address flooding issues at Red Bluff Recreation Area, a Mark Twain National Forest signature site located in Crawford County, Missouri. High water and flash flood events present a hazard to the public, particularly overnight campers. These safety concerns, combined with the cumulative financial impact of repairing flood-damaged facilities, present a clear need to question the sustainability of safe facilities in the floodplain. The open house will include a driving tour of Red Bluff Recreation Area with stops along the way to learn
about the flooding issues, and see the proposed locations for the new camping loops. Forest Service employees will provide direction as to where to drive and serve as tour guides at the stops. “The free open house will start at 12 p.m. and last until 3 p.m.”, said Becky Ewing, District Ranger for the Potosi-Fredericktown Ranger District. “Visitors can take as long as they want at each stop to ask questions or to poke around the campground and enjoy the beautiful scenery at Red Bluff”. For questions about the Red Bluff Recreation Area open house, contact the Potosi Ranger Station at (573) 438-5427. Mark Twain National Forest is managed to restore Missouri’s natural communities and maintain a healthy, working forest.

alerted to the operation on March 24, 2016 when the local Dollar General store reported eight $100 bills had been received on March 22, 2016 and were determined to be counterfeit at Landmark Bank. On April 5, 2016 the Mtn. View Walmart called the MVPD to report that the same male subject was back in the store and was paying for items. Employees detained Thurber until the arrival of law enforcement at which time he was taken into custody. Thurber was indicted for passing the counterfeit $100 bills on July 19, 2016 in federal court. He plead guilty in federal court on September 6, 2016 to possessing electronic images for the purpose of counterfeiting before U.S. Magistrate Judge David P. Rush. It was stated that Thurber manufactured and passed at least 93 counterfeit $100 bills in the Western District of Missouri. Under federal statutes, Thurber is subject to a sentence of up to 25 years in federal prison without parole. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, May 5, 2017.

Athletes competing in the Sertoma All-Star Weekend events are all graduated high school seniors --- the best of the best. (Player and coach rosters attached.)

Students will see increase in tuition for 2017-18 Students attending Missouri State University-West Plains during the 2017-2018 academic year will see an increase in their basic tuition. Wednesday, at the Missouri State University Board of Governors Executive Committee meeting in Springfield, members approved a resolution calling for fees to increase $5 per credit hour for in-state residents and $10 per credit hour for out-of-state residents beginning with the 2017 fall semester. The increases will put tuition at $124 per credit hour for Missouri residents and $248 per credit hour for non-Missouri residents, which is 4 percent more than last year’s rate. Tuition is lower for Missouri residents because Missouri State-West Plains is a state-assisted institution, university officials explained. “We at Missouri State University-West Plains are very mindful of the impact that increasing tuition has on students from our area,” Chancellor Drew Bennett said. “We carefully weigh the growing needs of our campus and the standards that we want to maintain against what it will cost our students in tuition and the other sources of revenue available when making these decisions. Unfortunately, in addition to reducing programs, people and services, we must also raise tuition to help compensate for the extensive budget cuts to higher education.” Several other fees also will increase. The fee charged for online courses will go from $137 to $142 per credit hour for in-state and out-ofstate students, and courses in the Associate of Science in Nursing degree program will go from $154 to $159 per credit hour for Missouri residents and $308 to $318 per credit hour for out-of-state students. Students in the Associate of Applied Science in Respiratory Care program will pay $149 per credit hour for in-state students, up $5 from last year’s rate of $144; out-of-state students will pay $298 per credit hour, up $10 from last year’s $288 rate. University officials explained the fee structure for online, nursing and respiratory care courses is different than that for other classes due to the additional costs associated in providing these programs. Fees for classes in the Viticulture and Enology Science and Technology Alliance (VESTA) program, headquartered at the Missouri State University campus in Mountain Grove, will remain at $210 per credit hour.
University officials also will begin charging the Common Fee first announced last spring. The $17-per-credithour Common Fee replaces the capital projects fee, student activities fee, professional services fee, computer and technology fee, the Student Recreation Center, application fee, diploma fee, graduation fee, transcript fee, and cap and gown fee. University officials explained that combining many of the campus’ fees into one Common Fee makes it easier to manage refunds of federal aid grants, remove barriers of application for admission, and potentially increase graduation rates by not requiring students to pay several graduation-related fees in the last semester. It also makes it easier for students to calculate all of their charges each semester. The fee, which includes a two-year subscription to the Chalk and Wire online software product that students use to upload electronic documents and assignments for their capstone courses, is designed to maintain the current funding level for the accounts the fees have historically funded, university officials said. Course fees for high school dual credit and dual enrollment students will go up in 2017-18, as well, to $62 per credit hour – half of the tuition rate for Missouri residents rounded to the nearest dollar. In addition, dual credit students taking dual credit courses at area high schools will be charged a modified Common Fee of $6 per credit hour beginning this fall, bringing the total charge to $68 per credit hour. Dual enrollment students taking courses on the Missouri State-West Plains campus will pay the $17 per credit hour Common Fee. Students staying in the Grizzly House residence hall also will see an increase in room and board. Those fees will go up from $2,851 per semester for housing and a 20-meal-per-week plan at the Putnam Student Center cafeteria to $2,910 per semester in 2017-18. Summer charges will increase from $1,218 to $1,250. Students staying at the Grizzly Lofts, a privately-owned residence hall near campus on Missouri Avenue that is managed by the university, will pay $3,000 per semester for housing and a 20-meal-per-week plan at the on-site Sole Café. For more information about tuition and student fees, contact the Missouri State-West Plains business office at 417-255-7260.

To that end, Missouri StateWest Plains and SCCC will pool their resources to offer the university’s Associate of Applied Science in Technology degree with options in either Alternative Energy or Advanced Manufacturing. Certificate programs in these same two study areas also will be offered. In addition, customized training programs will be provided on an as-needed basis through the center to area businesses and industries. “With each program, students will have broad exposure to alternative energy and manufacturing technology and be prepared to enter the workforce or establish a business in alternative energy and manufacturing,” said Jim Hart, assistant professor of computer information systems at Missouri State-West Plains. “Local manufacturers who need specific job improvement skills could also send employees to a single course. Numerous industry partners have applauded the intentional flexibility of the program.” Despite recent layoffs and plant closures in the area, state officials expect employment in the manufacturing sector in south-central Missouri to grow by 8.5 percent by 2022, with the total number of job openings coming from new growth increasing by 28.5 percent,
according to Sheila Barton, project manager of Missouri State-West Plains’ Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Program. Area residents interested in enrolling in the programs through GOCAT will find several technology-based courses on Missouri State-West Plains’ schedule this fall. They include Survey of Electronics (TEC 100), Manufacturing Materials and Processes (TEC 111), Introduction to Supply Chain Management (TEC 112), Manufacturing Technology (TEC 165), Welding Technology (TEC 175), Applied Electricity and Electronics (TEC 200), and a Technology Internship course (TEC 299). Other courses for these programs will be offered in future semesters. For more information about GOCAT and its programs, contact Barton at 417-2557784 or SheilaFBarton@MissouriState.edu.

United States Air Force Lt. Col. Samuel K. Joplin will give the keynote address at Missouri State University-West Plains’ 2017 commencement ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 20, in the West Plains Civic Center arena. “We’re pleased to have Lt. Col. Joplin speak to our graduates this year,” Missouri State-West Plains Chancellor Drew Bennett said. “Through his service in the Air Force and the Louisiana Air National Guard, he has made a significant contribution to our country. He is a great example of how someone from West Plains can make an impact that reaches far and wide.” Joplin, son of Ken and Sandy Joplin, West Plains, currently is an F-15 instructor pilot with the 159th Fighter Wing of the Louisiana Air National Guard at Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base, New Orleans, Louisiana, according to an official biography. The wing employs the F-15C Eagle in

He was commissioned into the U.S. Air Force in 1999 through the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He earned his wings in 2001 at Laughlin Air Force Base (AFB) in Texas. His flying assignments included duties as an instructor pilot, flight examiner, chief of flight operations and demonstration pilot. In 2011, he deployed to Kandahar Air Base in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He is a command pilot with more than 3,600 flight hours in various aircraft, primarily the F-15C. He also has logged more than 700 combat hours. While serving as a traditional guardsman, he also is a Boeing 777 pilot at FedEx Express. Joplin earned a bachelor’s degree in English in 1999
from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a master’s degree in aeronautical science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. He also graduated from the Squadron Officer School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama in 2006 and from the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in 2010.

Ozark Medical Center recognized for efforts to change lives by Saving Sight What to Do with Cremated Ashes? Dear Savvy Senior, When my father passed away a few months ago we had him cremated, but are now wondering what to do with his ashes. My sister and I would like to do something celebratory for his life, but aren’t sure what to do. Any suggestions? No Instructions Left Dear No, If your dad didn’t leave any final instructions on what to do with his cremated remains (ashes), you have a wide array of choices. They can be kept, buried or scattered in a variety of ways and in many locations. Here are some different options to help you decide. Keep Close By For many people, keeping the ashes of their deceased love one close by provides a feeling of comfort. If you fit into this category, you could keep his ashes in an urn on the mantel or in a cabinet, or you could also scatter some of them into your lawn or garden, shake them into a backyard pond or dig a hole and bury them. Another possible option is eco-friendly urns (like UrnaBios.com or EterniTrees.com) that contain a seed that grows into a tree or plant after being buried. Cemetery Options If you want your dad’s final resting place to be at a cemetery, you have several choices depending on how much you’re willing to spend. With most cemeteries, you can either bury his ashes in a plot, or place them in cremation monument, a mausoleum, or a cemetery building called a columbarium. Scatter Them If you want to scatter his ashes, to help you chose an appropriate location, think about what your dad would have liked. For example, did he have a favorite fishing spot, camping area, golf course, beach or park that held a special meaning? These are all possibilities, but be aware to that if you choose to scatter his ashes in a public location or on private land, you’ll need get permission from the management, local government or the land owner. National parks, for example, require you to have a permit before you scatter ashes. If you wish to dispose of them at sea, the Environmental Protection Agency asks you be at least three miles from shore. Beach scatterings are also illegal in some states, including California, but are rarely enforced. And many public areas, like Central Park and Disneyland prohibit scattering ashes too, as do most professional and college sports stadiums. Untraditional Methods If you want to do something truly unique with his ashes, you have many choices here too, but they can get pricy ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Here are several to consider. Scattering by air: This free-spirited option lets you spread your dad’s ashes into the sky so the particles can be taken by the wind. To do this, you could hire a private plane, helicopter or hot air balloon service, or use a balloon scattering service like EternalAscent.com or Mesoloft.com. Or, you could even send his ashes into outer space with ElysiumSpace.com. Scattering by sea: If your dad loved the water, there are many businesses that offer ash scattering services at sea, especially close to coastal areas, or you could rent a boat and do it yourself. There are also companies like EternalReefs. com that offer reef memorials so your dad’s ashes can rest on the ocean floor. Ashes to keepsakes: If you want a keepsake of your dad, you can also turn some of his ashes into a wide variety of memorabilia, such as: diamonds (see LifeGem.com or DNA2Diamonds.com); jewelry or other handcrafted glass items (ArtFromAshes.com and Memorials.com); vinyl records (Andvinyly.com); gun ammunition (MyHolySmoke. com); or an hourglass urn (InTheLightUrns.com). 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.
Ozark Medical Center received Saving Sight’s 2016 Excellence in Eye Donation Award recently. This marks the second year the hospital has been honored for achievements in providing the gift of sight to those needing a cornea transplant.

15 percent of Saving Sight’s partner hospitals in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois will be recognized with a 2016 Excellence in Eye Donation Award. Partner hospitals that achieved an eye donation consent rate exceeding 45 percent with at least 10 donors during the 2016 calendar year will receive the award. “Children see to learn, parents watch their children grow and older adults main-
tain independent lifestyles thanks to the vision made possible through corneal transplants each year,” said Tony Bavuso, CEO of Saving Sight. “We are grateful to our partners at Ozark Medical Center who believe in our mission to change lives by saving sight and work with our courageous donors and donor families to make the precious gift of sight possible for countless individuals last year.”
With the help of hospital partners like Ozark Medical Center, Saving Sight provided corneas for more than 2,900 corneal transplant recipients in 2016. Each year around 48,000 individuals in the United States require a cornea transplant to restore vision that has been lost due to disease, disorder or injury.

Mercy St. Francis plans more electrical updates on May 5 Mercy St. Francis Hospital’s second round of a major power upgrade is scheduled for the first weekend in May, and it’s likely to have a minor impact on patients over multiple days. Starting at approximately 2 p.m. Friday, May 5, there will be a 30-minute period when power will be shut off at the hospital’s electrical distribution center to allow crews to begin work on the switchgear. During that outage, Mercy’s emergency room (ER) patients and care-
givers will be moved to the hospital’s outpatient clinic area, about 100 feet away. “Patients who come to the ER during that brief period will be directed to where they need to go, which is near our surgery area,” said Cindy Tooley, Mercy St. Francis Hospital administrator. “Our ambulances will also divert during that short time.” Once the back-up generator is connected, it will be business as usual in the ER until power crews wrap up. They’re expected to be fin-

ished by around 5 p.m. Sunday, May 7. At that time, the hospital will once again enter a 30-minute power outage while crews re-flip the master switch to restore commercial power to the hospital. “That will also last about 30 minutes, and we’ll go on the same, brief divert as we did at the start of the project,” Tooley said. “The entire project could end sooner than planned, but we want patients to be prepared, as well as our co-workers. The collaboration so far has been seamless.”
This is the second phase of a project that started last September; this go-round, crews will ensure that infrastructure upgrades are sound. Routine outpatient services will not be conducted through the weekend, and Mercy security will also step up monitoring. “We’re incredibly thankful for the assistance from the City of Mountain View and its utility and police departments, as well as Mercy Emergency Medical Services and co-workers,” Tooley said.
Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wildlife biologists on the feral hog strike team have tallied up feral hog numbers for the first three months of 2017. The first quarter yielded a total of 2,332 feral hogs removed by MDC, partner agencies, and private landowners, which is nearly half of the total number of feral hogs removed in all of 2016. Southeast Missouri removed a total of 1,124 feral hogs in the first quarter, which is where the highest density of feral hogs occurs. The Ozark region removed 706 while the Southwest region removed 359 feral hogs. St. Louis, Central and Kansas City regions all trapped fewer than 100 feral hogs each. Additionally, in one week, more than 250 feral hogs were removed from the southeast Missouri landscape, all through aerial gunning. “We’ve built significantly on our progress from 2016,” said Alan Leary, MDC’s Wildlife Management Coordinator and leader of MDC’s feral hog elimination efforts. “We continue to engage private landowners and partners in efforts to report hog sightings, continue trapping and deter hog hunting and the illegal release of hogs, and that’s why we’re seeing growing success.” In 2016, MDC partnered with other conservation groups, agriculture organizations, and the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation to provide the state’s feral hog strike team with more trapping equipment for use on both private and public land, and to fund public education efforts on the dangers of feral hogs. “Because most land
in Missouri is privately owned, it’s crucial to engage the public and educate them on the dangers of feral hogs and trapping efforts,” Leary said. “Through ongoing communication efforts, both by MDC and partners, more landowners are learning about feral hogs, asking for help and ridding their property of this invasive species. Examples, such as the one in Taney County where 62 feral hogs were captured in one trap, show landowners that it’s much easier to get rid of feral hogs if you trap the whole sounder, rather than allow hunting and only shooting one or two.” Feral hogs are not wildlife and are a serious threat to fish, forests and wildlife as well as agricultural resources. Economic losses resulting from feral hogs damage in the U.S. is estimated at greater than $1.5 billion per year. Feral hogs damage property, agriculture, and natural resources by their aggressive rooting of soil in addition to their trampling and consumption of crops as part of their daily search for food. Feral hogs have expanded their range in the U.S. from 17 to 38 states over the past 30 years. Their populations grow rapidly because feral hogs can breed any time of year and produce two litters of one to seven piglets every 12 to 15 months. Feral hogs are also known to carry diseases such as swine brucellosis, pseudorabies, trichinosis and leptospirosis, which are a threat to Missouri agriculture and human health.

Brown's Farm & Garden Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 4/18/2017 Receipts: 3,178 Week ago: 3,874 Year ago: 2,937 Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs traded 4.00-10.00 higher with heavier weight calves trading steady to 4.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested except for 8 weight steers which were 6.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Optimism continues to grow in the cash market as warmer temperatures and rains across the area have increased demand for grass ready calves. With the USDA predicting beef exports for 2017 to expand by almost 7 percent and beef imports to decline by 9 percent, future demand looks positive. Increased slaughter at lighter carcass weights has kept feedlots current and in need of replenishing their inventory. The feeder supply included 52 percent Steers, 44 percent Heifers, and 4 percent Bulls with 39 percent of the offering weighing over 600 lbs. Please Note: The below USDA LPGMN price report is reflective of the majority of classes and grades of livestock offered for sale.
