Facility improvements coming soon to SBU’s Southern MO MV campus The landscape of Southwest Baptist University’s Mountain View campus will change this summer, as the University plans to update and better utilize the two newest buildings on the campus. “We are continually looking for ways to improve the student experience,” said Dr. Lee Skinkle, SBU provost. “We brought two new associate degree programs — in teaching and ministry — to the Mountain View campus this school year. As we look to the next academic year, we are going to fully utilize our two newest buildings and provide students with improved access to faculty and staff. We also continue to explore other degree options for the campus.” The Myrtle Glass Learning Center, which was dedicated in 2003, will be renovated to add two classrooms and create faculty and administrative offices. The library’s print collection, housed in the same building, will be reduced to make space for the classrooms and offices. “Students will continue to have access to all digital library resources, as well as additional printed resources that are housed in the University Libraries facilities in Salem, Springfield and Bolivar,” Skinkle said. “With an increase in See SBU on Page 7

High speed chase spans 3 counties
A high speed pursuit that spanned three counties finally ended in Thayer where officers with the West Plains Police Department apprehended Adam L. Cokley, 22 of Pacific.
A high speed chase that led law enforcement through three counties took place during the afternoon hours on Saturday, May 20. The chain of events began in Eminence as a simple $30 gas drive-off was reported around 4 p.m. A 2004 Dodge Ram operated by Adam L. Cokley, 22 of Pacific left the gas station and Shannon County Sheriff’s Office relayed to the Winona Police Department about the drive-off coming into town. An officer with the Winona PD was in pursuit of the Dodge when radio contact was lost. Chief Alonzo Bradwell was contacted and was trying to locate the fleeing vehicle. Chief Bradwell stated that he traveled down DD Highway with lights See Chase on Page 11

Woolsey leaves legacy of deep roots Friends and Family of the Mountain View and Summersville areas can celebrate the life and legacy of Milford Jayhue Woolsey, a hard-working man who laid his deep roots on the Upper Jacks Fork River in Howell and Texas Counties with descendants in Mountain View, Summersville, Houston and the surrounding Missouri Area. Woolsey, born April 13, 1934 in Texas County and passed away on Friday, May 19, 2017, Woolsey left behind a legacy - with a family of five boys, who have continued to build their families here, in
business and farming all from Woolsey’s vision of a homestead during the 1950’s. The Woolsey farm was founded in Texas County, on the Upper Jacks Fork River, where he was born. Woolsey traveled out to the Colorado mountains to work in the timber industry at the age of 16. Him, along with his brothers worked for $2 a day and saved enough for a car to make the trip to work in the timber industry. Woolsey started buying acreage with his work proceeds after marrying his wife of 65 years, Donna. Together
they raised their family along the Jacks Fork River where they farmed and created family landmarks and memories to pass on to their kids and grandchildren. Today the family has numerous businesses in the Mountain View, Summersville and Houston areas. Woolsey is remembered for his kind spirit. He was always smiling, loved his family, and didn’t know a stranger. See full obituary on page 5.

tle hard to get a goal but Keeper Mantel was determined to not let anything by her. A second goal was scored by Mantel before the half-time whistle blew. The Lady Eagles sealed the fate of Fair Grove as a goal came late in the second half from Kristina Stockton. “Going into the Fair Grove game we changed up our usual set to try to throw off their defensive set up that we hadn’t
seen before and we talked about a few of their key players,” reflected Head Coach Shelly Renegar on the win. “However, we focused more on what we had to do to come out on top. We knew that if we put an entire game together, we would win. It had been a while since we really played the entire 90 minutes. They truly played with guts. We played like we were desperate for goals. Winning districts has
been an amazing feeling, for the players and the new coaches. I’m hoping that it gives the girls the confidence they should already have going into our quarterfinal game against Fatima.” Next up for the Lady Eagles (8-9-1) is the quarterfinal game against Fatima (8-9) on Wednesday, May 24 at 4 p.m. at the Knight of Columbus Fields north of the Fatima High School.

MTNF: Forest trails safety reminder As you get your hiking, bicycling, or ATV riding gear out of the garage and prepare to get out on the trail in the next few weeks, there are a few extra steps you can take to make your experience a safe one on Mark Twain National Forest trails. - Take it slow the first time out. Recent storms and floods have taken a toll on many of the Mark Twain National Forest’s trails. A Type 2 National Incident Management Team (IMT), along with Mark Forest employees, have worked for over two weeks assessing and repairing damage so that trails could re-open for your use. Trails have been rutted and washed out and trees have fallen across trails in many places. Even after a trail is open for use, its condition may be a little different than before the storms. This is especially important for ATV riders to consider as they hit the trail for the first time since the storm.
Take it slow the first time out this year, even if it is a trail you are familiar with. The potential exists for new trees to drop across trails; new washouts can occur after every rain; and repair work may have changed the characteristics of a given trail a bit. Please be cautious while hiking or riding. - Check for closures. Although Sutton Bluff on the Salem Ranger District and Chadwick on the Ava Ranger District have areas that are open and ready to ride, there are also sections of those recreation areas that are closed off for safety. Forest crews may still be working to re-open trails, so please be alert to – and respect – any closure signs. These are there for their safety and yours. All closures are posted on our website at www. fs.usda.gov/mtnf. Hikers, bikers, and horseback riders will benefit from checking the closure list before hitting forest trails. Call the local Ranger
District, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm, if you need more information about status and conditions. - Be weather aware: Bad weather can create many safety hazards on forest trails. Please check the weather forecast often before going out on the trail. Be prepared with the proper rain gear if there is even a chance of rain. Rain can loosen already-weakened tree roots, causing more trees to fall on trails, and high winds also have the potential of knocking down more trees or large limbs, so stay alert and inspect the canopy as you move down the trail —especially in areas where you take breaks or set up your camp. - Get a map: The Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM), found online at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/ mtnf/map/mvum, shows all the roads and trails that are open to motor vehicles on Mark Twain National Forest. MVUM maps are also available for free at district offices. Forest topographic maps can also be purchased by visiting or calling one of our offices. ATV riding mer long. Plus, kids will learn regulations can be found online to look for evidence of God all at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/mtnf/ around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with a Cave Quest Closing that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join in on Thursday, June 8, at 7:50 A Summer Revival hostp.m. for our special closing. Cave Quest is for kids from ed by the Mtn.

atv. - Keep learning: These are just a few tips. It is always good to team up with more experience hikers and riders to improve your skills. There are also ATV safety courses offered by the state that can help build your trail safety skills at https://www.offroad-ed.com/ missouri/ . This is not an exhaustive list, but it is our hope that it gets you thinking about trail safety on Mark Twain National Forest post-flood. The flood response on the Forest is now being managed by a local, Forest Type 3 (IMT) which continues to perform flood recovery work across the Forest. The IMT is now focused on performing safety inspections and repair work on roads and trails, and re-opening the few recreation sites still closed. For further information on the flood response on Mark Twain National Forest, contact Cody Norris, Public Affairs Officer, at 573-341-7405.

The Frontlines of a Flood
On Saturday, April 29, waters began rising in southeast and south central Missouri. As quickly as the waters rose, first responders and volunteers sprang into action. Ozark County was in one of the hardest hit areas. Their Emergency Management Director told me they realized how bad it was getting Saturday night around midnight. About this time, the James Bridge over the White River disappeared. With the bridge washed out, the Tecumseh Volunteer Fire Department had to split their territory in half and deploy two teams of firefighters. Even as some of their own homes filled with water, between Saturday night and Sunday morning, the teams conducted ten swift water rescues. When it was time for search and rescue, volunteer fire departments from across Ozark County pitched in to check house by house for people who may be stranded or hurt and help man the emergency operations center. In Thomasville, one man had to rescue his elderly relatives by boat. Before the rain started, he moved his relatives to a house where he thought they would be safe. After all, the ground floor of the home was six feet higher than the 100-year flood stage. But as the night wore on, water was rising quickly in the home. The man’s family was trapped in the second floor of the house. So, he tried to reach the house by tractor, but the water was too deep. Then he tried to reach the house by road grader, but the water was still too deep. Finally, the man’s nephew arrived with his bass boat and they pulled their family to safety just in the nick of time. For every story of heroism and selflessness over the past few weeks, there have been a hundred more just like it. Everyone I’ve talked with has told me that the way the water came up was simply unbelievable. What’s more unbelievable is how even with homes destroyed, businesses flooded, farms that lost fence lines, fields that were washed out and livestock scattered everywhere, first responders and volunteers took care of their communities before they took care of themselves. Two firefighters from Ozark County lost their houses, but they were still out on the frontlines of the flood, helping everyone else. In Reynolds County, Town & Country is the only grocery store. The flood put the store under three feet of water. When local members of the community heard that the Town & Country manager could use help clearing mud off the shelves and emptying the store of water-soaked food, they got right to work. With their help, the store would be up and running again sooner rather than later. Today, I got the good news that their hard work paid off. As of this morning, Town & Country has re-opened! These are just some of the many stories I’ve heard in the aftermath of flooding I hope we will never see the likes of again in our lifetimes. Whether it was the nurses from the VA hospital in Poplar Bluff who helped out at their local shelter or the students from Malden Beta Club collecting donations for folks down in Doniphan, I am grateful to every Missourian who helped their neighbors. As I’ve said, we are Missouri Strong and we will work together to come back from this disaster even stronger than we were before.
Nicole Kolb Hood named MoDOT’s State Highway Safety and Traffic Engineer
Nicole Kolb Hood Nicole Kolb Hood, who has served the Missouri Department of Transportation for the past 21 years, has been named state highway safety and traffic engineer following the retirement this spring of Eileen Rackers. Hood is a 1995 graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia and a licensed professional engineer in Missouri. She started her MoDOT career
as a transportation planner in Central Office. During her career, she has worked in positions in design, traffic and planning. For the past three years, Hood has served as assistant state design engineer. “In my new role, I’m excited to use my leadership skills and experience to continue to strengthen the department’s focus on safety for our citizens,” said Hood. “As a public servant, I take pride in delivering a safe and reliable transportation system for Missourians.” Safety on Missouri’s roads continues to be a top concern as 947 people were killed in crashes on the system in 2016. Human error is attributed to 94 percent of all traffic crashes. “It takes each and every one of us to lead by example, focus on the road, buckle up and put our phones down,”
Hood said. “Seven out of ten drivers use smart phones when driving. We have to work together with our safety partners to find ways to reverse this trend and drive
toward zero deaths.” Hood’s passion for road safety also comes from her family. She and her husband have three children; of whom two are teenagers.

Mowing season begins on Missouri Roadsides Motorists asked to slow down and pass crews carefully
Pushing the lawn mower back and forth across the yard is a springtime necessity. At the Missouri Department of Transportation, our crews are beginning the mowing season with a main purpose: safety. During May and June, there is a good chance you will see MoDOT crews out mowing on tractor mowers so motorists have a clear, safe line of sight as they cruise along state highways. “We ask motorists to pay attention and slow down when approaching mowing
crews. Please take the time to pass carefully and safely especially on rural twolane roads,” said MoDOT State Maintenance Engineer Becky Allmeroth. Major and minor routes will be mowed in three cycles starting in mid-May, mid-July and mid-September. Along with the mowing, crews selectively use herbicides to stunt vegetation growth as well as to control brush and stop the spread of noxious weeds. Wildflowers are an added benefit of not mowing fence-to-fence and
careful herbicide usage. On rural two-lane roads, crews may use a protective “follow” truck to alert motorists they are approaching slow-moving mowers. Drivers are advised to use the following tips to safely pass mowers: - Be alert for trucks and tractors with lights flashing and moving slowly, 2 to 5 mph. Slow down and focus on the road ahead of you. Avoid talking and texting on a cell phone or other distractions. Be prepared to stop or drive very slowly behind a “follow”
SBU the number of online courses offered to students on the Mountain View campus, we are able to reduce our physical footprint on the campus while continuing to offer quality educational experiences.” Founders Hall, dedicated in 1998, will remain open. The two original campus buildings, part of the former Sharp Lumber Co., will be torn down. The
School
families were impacted by the floods and suffered some loss. Summer School “Our regular school year ends this Thursday—with just a half-day of school. Teachers and students will have a short break, then summer school will start up on June 5 and go through June 30. We’ve worked hard to offer fun and educational classes for all elementary students throughout the whole four weeks of summer school. I hope you will consider sending your child to summer school this summer so they can participate in the fun classes. We have separate classes for students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Right now, our 4th and 5th grade students will be combined into one class unless more students show up on the first day of summer school. “Liberty Middle School offers one class for grades 6-8 which focuses on reading as well as the fundamentals of Math and English. Any student in grade 6-8 is invited to attend all or part of this class. Liberty High School will offer the same classes that have been offered in the past: PE; Drivers Education; English; Math; Credit Recovery and Alternative Education (on-line) classes. All students in grades 9-12 are eligible to attend these classes. Construction/Renovation Plans “The school district has been working to create a long-range plan to renovate many of our existing facili-
truck, especially approaching a hill or curve on a two-lane road. Obey the no passing zone stripes and only pass when you can see far enough past the “follow” truck to avoid meeting oncoming traffic. Between mowing cycles, report grass and weeds blocking visibility at intersections along state roads to MoDOT.

From Page One University is planning some form of tribute to the history and heritage of the campus property. The Mountain View campus offers bachelor’s degrees in business administration, criminal justice, elementary education, psychology and sociology, as well as associate’s degrees in teaching, business administration, general studies,
health sciences and ministry. Master’s degrees in education also can be pursued through the Mountain View campus. SBU was a pioneer in bringing comprehensive, fouryear higher education to the Mountain View area when the Mountain View campus was founded in 1986. Enrollment on the Mountain View campus continues to
grow. For the past three semesters, enrollment has increased over the previous year. “These improvements help to position the campus for the future as we continue to provide quality higher education to residents in the Mountain View area,” Skinkle said. For more information, visit mountainview.SBUniv.edu or call (417) 934-2999.
From Page One ties. Many of our restroom facilities throughout the district are in need of extensive renovations. We’ve found that at Mountain View Elementary, significant issues regarding sewer and water lines need to be resolved before the bathroom renovations can proceed. Our high school gym ceiling is in need of repair and is one of the few, if not the only, high school gym in the conference that does not have air conditioning. “The school board recently conducted extensive interviews with performance contracting companies to listen to their ideas and longterm solutions towards meeting our renovation needs. The school board selected a company by the name of CTS, which has worked with hundreds of schools across Missouri, to work with us to help address our renovation and facility needs. It was determined that we would prioritize our areas of need and complete the projects as funds became available each year through the budgeting process. Our list of ‘needs’ is much more extensive than one year’s budget for renovations can afford. Our highest priority area was determined to be the restroom facilities at Mountain View Elementary. Before we can start renovating those restroom facilities, we need to resolve some sewer and water line issues that have been developing and deteriorating for many years. In order to work on these areas, we will basically have to close Mountain View Elementary
for the summer because the water and restroom facilities will not be available while the construction/renovation takes place. “Since Mountain View Elementary will be closed for the summer, all of our elementary summer school classes will be held at Liberty Middle School. Updated Elementary Summer School Location and Bus Schedules “Regular summer school classes will start at 8:10 a.m. at Liberty Middle School. The building will open at 7:35 a.m. Classes will end at 3:10 p.m. Parents can start picking up students after the buses leave at approximately 3:15 p.m. “Students will be picked up at both Mountain View Elementary and Birch Tree Elementary to attend all classes in grades K-12. For students needing bus transportation, one bus will pick students up at Birch Tree Elementary at 7:15 a.m. Two buses will pick students up at Mountain View Elementary at 7:25 a.m. Every student attending summer school will be provided a free breakfast and lunch through all four weeks of summer school. “At the end of the school day, the buses will leave Liberty Middle school at 3:10 p.m. The bus going to Birch Tree will arrive there at approximately 3:25 p.m. The two buses going to Mountain View Elementary will arrive there at approximately 3:15 p.m. Students who are dropped off at the elementary schools after summer school will need to walk home from there or have rides waiting for them. The buildings will not be open or available for students to wait for rides. If students need to wait for parents to pick them up, they will have to do so at Liberty Middle School and not get on a bus. Curriculum Revision “This year our curriculum revision efforts concentrated on math. We will continue these efforts next year and
hope to revamp our science curriculum in much the same way next year as we did math. Mrs. Carolyn Duckett has been appointed our district’s curriculum director starting next school year. She will help us streamline and concentrate our many efforts to improve the curriculum and instruction offered to our students district-wide. Mrs. Duckett will also take the lead in our efforts to keep parents and the community informed regarding things that are happening in each of our schools in the district. We hope to keep parents informed with more “newsletters” as well as through electronic means such as email and social media. We continue to improve our technology infrastructure so we can engage our students and give them access to a world full of information through instructional technology. Meal Grant “We are currently in the process of writing a grant which would provide free breakfast and free lunch for all students in both elementary schools in the district. We are very hopeful that we will qualify for this grant as it would provide a tremendous service to all of our elementary students. We should know the outcome of the grant process by the start of the school year in August. School Flood Damage “Our school buildings for the most part escaped damage from the recent flooding. However, our football field and track athletic complex received moderate damage as it was under flowing water for several days. Some football and track equipment was damaged as a result of the flooding and the track itself received some damage to its rubber surface. We are working with our insurance company to begin the process of itemizing the damage and getting repairs made and items replaced.”

Spintronix Color Guard in Mountain View has received $1,000 to offset costs to help keep the program affordable for participating students through U.S. Cellular’s “Community Connections” program. Spintronix Color Guard signed up to participate in this program and become eligible to receive sponsorship dollars from U.S. Cellular at www. pearup.com/uscellular then rallied their neighbors, friends and family to earn money towards its programming. The group helps students in rural areas who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the training and supplies necessary to become successful in the performing arts, while also teaching them skills that will be used in many different situations throughout their lives. “We are proud to support organizations like Spintronix Color Guard that have a positive impact in our communities. Being able to offer access to funds that aren’t typically available allows them to provide the best
experiences for our youth,” said Nakeita Stewart, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Missouri. “Community Connections” is in its third consecutive year, and is an exclusive collaboration between U.S. Cellular and Pear, an online platform that connects local brands with local community needs. Since the program launched in 2015, U.S. Cellular has awarded more than $1 million in sponsorship dollars to more than 2,200 local school groups and
youth sports teams through this program. “We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to fundraise through PearUp.com with U.S. Cellular,” commented Jackie Krasuski, executive director of Spintronix Color Guard. “Our programs can be expensive to run, so we need sponsors in order to keep them affordable for the students, and it’s so nice to be able to ask our supporters to do tasks on a website instead of continually asking for money.”

GOCAT fall enrollment now open; work begins to repair damaged building With repairs underway on the Greater Ozarks Center for Advanced Technology (GOCAT) building, which was damaged extensively by flood waters on April 29, the Center’s educational partners want to inform the public that enrollment is now underway for the Fall 2017 semester. That’s according to Missouri State University-West Plains Dean of Academic Affairs Dennis Lancaster, who said despite the extensive damage suffered by the building at 125 North Howell Ave., classes will be held in the fall as expected. Heavy rainfall from the
April 29 storm resulted in several feet of water infiltrating the building, damaging equipment and much of the interior. Following the initial cleanup from the flooding, the West Plains Fire Department and other city crews worked for two days tearing out damaged sheetrock and OSB, or flakeboard.

Patrol creates Officer of Community Engagement and Outreach within the patrol Should All Baby Boomers Get Tested for Hepatitis C? Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve recently read that all baby boomers should get tested for hepatitis C. Is this really necessary, and if so, what are the testing and treatment procedures? Healthy Boomer Dear Healthy, It’s true. Both the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that all baby boomers – people born from 1945 through 1965 – get a hepatitis C test. The reason is because baby boomers account for 75 percent of the 3 million or so hepatitis C cases in the U.S. Those that are infected are at very high risk of eventually developing liver cancer, cirrhosis or other fatal liver diseases. Most hepatitis C infections occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, before there were tests to detect them and before the nation’s blood supply was routinely screened for the virus. Hepatitis C is transmitted only through blood, so anyone who received either a blood transfusion or an organ transplant prior to 1992 is at increased risk too. So are health-care workers exposed to blood, and people who injected drugs through shared needles. The virus can also be spread through microscopic amounts of infected blood that could occur during sex, from sharing a razor or toothbrush, or getting a tattoo or body piercing at an unsterile shop. Most people that have hepatitis C don’t know they’re infected because there are no symptoms until their liver becomes severely damaged. It can actually take 30 years for people to show any signs of the virus, but by then, it may be too late to treat. But if it’s detected in time, new treatments are now available that can cure it. Testing and Treatment If you’re between ages 52 to 72, or fall into one of the previously listed high risk categories, you should see your primary care doctor for a basic blood test to determine whether you have ever been infected with hepatitis C. This is a relatively inexpensive test and typically covered by health insurance under routine medical care. If the test is negative, no further tests are needed. But, if the test is positive, you’ll need another test called HCV RNA, which will show whether the virus is still active. If you test positive, you have chronic hepatitis C and will need to talk to your doctor about treatment options. If you’re infected, but have no liver damage, your doctor should monitor your liver at your annual physical. The main treatments for chronic hepatitis C today are several new FDA approved antiviral medications that have a 95 percent cure rate. Compared to older treatments, these new medications have minimal side effects. Unfortunately, all the new drugs are very expensive – a 12-week treatment course can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $90,000. Not all health insurance plans, including Medicare Part D plans, cover all prescribed medications for hepatitis C. And due to the expensive nature of these medications, most insurance plans require that you meet several requirements in order to get coverage. If your insurance provider doesn’t cover the antiviral therapy your doctor recommends, there are financial assistance options available. To look for help, visit HEPC.liverfoundation.org and put your cursor on “Resources” and click on “What if I need Financial Assistance to Pay for Treatment?” And for more hepatitis C information, along with a quick online quiz you can take to determine your risks, see CDC.gov/ knowmorehepatitis. You can also get information over the phone by calling the national toll-free HELP-4-HEP helpline at 877435-7443. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Upcoming blood drives The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) is the local provider of blood for patients at 40 area hospitals in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas and southeast Kansas. Sick and injured hospital patients depend on CBCO donors to provide the lifesaving blood they need. Current inventory levels include a three-day reserve for most blood types. Replenishing these stocks on a daily basis is important, and all eligible blood donors should give. On average, a transfusion takes place every seven minutes and around 220 dona-
tions are needed each day to meet the area’s blood needs. You can help by giving blood at the St. Paul Luthern Church, 701 Main Street in Willow Springs, MO on Friday, May 26 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID. For more information about sharing your good health with others, please visit our website at www.cbco.org, or call toll-free 1-800-280-5337. Thank you for giving life to your community.
Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, is pleased to announce the creation of the Office of Community Engagement and Outreach within the Patrol. Effective June 1, 2017, the office will be established and placed under the direction of Assistant Superintendent Eric T. Olson. The office will be in the Wainwright Office Building in St. Louis. Captain Ronald S. Johnson has been designated as director of the Office of Community Engagement and Outreach. The new office will focus on cultivating and enhancing partnerships with Missourians, community groups, and organizations across the state that may not frequently interact with the Patrol. Captain Johnson will engage community members and professionals to develop solutions to challenging social issues and will assist in connecting community
members with resources. Captain Johnson has distinguished himself as a national expert in cultivating community relations with law enforcement. He is frequently asked to present on best practices for community engagement and outreach, and he has spent many years teaching and mentoring various groups across the country on relationship building. Captain Johnson has received multiple state and national awards for his work, including Ebony Power 100’s Community Crusader Award 2014, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award, the St. Louis County NAACP Rosa Park’s Citizenship Award in 2015, the St. Louis Celebrity Seniors’ Helping Hand Reducing Street Violence Award, the Historical Society of St. Louis County’s Community Service Award in 2014, Missouri State University’s Statewide Diversity
Champion Award 2015, and the Missouri Community College Association’s 2014 Distinguished Alumni Award. “Captain Johnson’s skills and abilities in creating impactful partnerships make him a tremendous asset,” said Colonel Karsten. “A highly sought after expert in this area, we are excited for what he will accomplish as the founding director of this new office.” “While the Patrol enjoys great relationships with those we serve, there is always more work to be done across Missouri. Captain Johnson will work to foster relationships based on mutual respect and trust,”
said Colonel Karsten. “The Office of Community Engagement and Outreach will work with a wide variety of stakeholders, including churches, schools, civic organizations, and other groups to create opportunities for open dialogue and engaged communities.” “The Office of Community Engagement and Outreach will be an unprecedented and outstanding opportunity for our state,” said Missouri Department of Public Safety Director Drew Juden. “The office will serve as a national model for fostering relationships based on trust and respect within communities throughout the state.”

Southwest MO students from rural areas are encouraged to apply for MU School of Medicine Bryant Scholars pre-admission program by June 1 The application deadline for the University of Missouri School of Medicine Bryant Scholars Pre-admissions Program is June 1. The Lester R. Bryant Scholars Pre-Admissions Program encourages young people from rural backgrounds, who are interested in practicing medicine in a small community, to pursue a medical education. The program aims to address the critical shortage
of physicians in rural areas by increasing enrollment of rural medical students, offering them hands-on learning experiences, and preparing them to return to rural Missouri to practice medicine. Thirty-seven percent of Missourians live in a rural area and only 18% of physicians practice in these communities. Students are eligible for admission to the program after completing their sopho-
more year in college and plan to graduate from a Missouri public or independent fouryear college or university. “We would love to see southwest Missouri students represented in the applicant pool,” said Kelly Risby, Senior Program/Project Support Coordinator at the MU School of Medicine, Springfield Clinical Campus. “I am happy to help local students in any way that I can as they go through the process.

Squirrel and black bass seasons open Memorial Day weekend Memorial Day weekend brings an extra-special celebration for squirrel hunters and bass anglers in Missouri. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds them that the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, May 27, marks the opening of both squirrel season statewide and catch-and-keep bass season in most streams south of the Missouri River. SQUIRRELS Hunters can pursue fox and gray squirrels from May 27 through Feb. 15, 2018, with rifles, shotguns, and other legal firearms methods, along with archery equipment, slingshots, or atlatls. The daily limit for hunting and trapping is 10 with a possession limit of 20. Valid permits for squirrel hunting are: Archery Hunting, Daily Small Game, Small Game Hunting and Fishing, and Small Game Hunting. Hunters with valid permits
can also take squirrels with cage-type traps. Traps must be plainly labeled on a durable material with the user’s full name and address, or conservation number. Squirrel traps must have openings measuring 144 square inches or less, for instance, 12 inches by 12 inches. Hunters must attend their traps daily. The same regulations apply to rabbits and groundhogs during their respective seasons. Get more information on squirrel hunting from MDC’s 2017 Summary of Missouri Hunting and Trapping Regulations, available where permits are sold, or online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/squirrel Try this Squirrel Sausage recipe from MDC at youtube.com/watch?v=qJwvxJYE8Xc. BLACK BASS The black bass catch-andkeep season applies to most
streams south of the Missouri River for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted or Kentucky bass and runs from May 27 to Feb. 28, 2018. Anglers may catch and release these species legally all year, anywhere in the state. They may keep legal-sized bass caught from impoundments and some rivers and streams all year long, statewide. In most of the state’s waters, the daily limit on black bass is six. Black bass taken from rivers and streams must be at least 12 inches long in most areas. Additional specific regulations may apply to specific waters or areas. Anglers must have a valid fishing permit or be exempt. Get more information on bass fishing from MDC’s 2017 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations, available where permits are sold, or online at huntfish.mdc. mo.gov/fishing/species/ black-bass.
