Three teens injured in crash, one arrested
Three Winona teenagers were injured in a one-vehicle accident that occurred on Sunday, May 4th at 12:10 a.m. in Carter County on Route J, 6 miles South of Fremont, MO. According to reports, a 2003 Chevrolet Pickup, operated by Austin E. Needels, 17 of Winona, MO, was travelling Southbound when the vehicle ran off the left side of the roadway and struck several trees. Needels was transported by Mercy Ambulance to Poplar Bluff Regional with minor injuries. Passengers in the vehicle, Aimee S. Shuler, 17 of Winona, MO, was transported by West Carter Ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Mountain View, MO, with minor injuries. A second passenger, Audrey J. Wallace, 15 of Winona, MO, was transported by Mercy Ambulance to Poplar Bluff Regional with minor injuries. The accident was investigated by Sgt. C.N. Ponder. It was also reported that Needels was arrested by the Missouri State Highway Patrol for driving while intoxicated and failure to drive on the right half of the roadway. He was subsequently released for medical treatment.
Howell County
Second rabies case identified The second confirmed case of rabies has been reported to the Howell County Health Department by the Missouri State Public Health Lab in Jefferson City. The case involved a rabid skunk approximately 1 mile Southeast of South Fork. The rabid skunk exposed a dog that was not current on its rabies vaccinations. Since the dog was unvaccinated, it was required to be euthanized due to the exposure to a rabid animal. Justin Frazier, Environmental Public Health Supervisor with the Howell County Health Department said, “This is a very unfortunate situation in which a family pet had to be euthanized due to rabies exposure. It is very important for people to protect themselves against rabies by not handling any pet that has been exposed to a wild animal until that animal can be tested to see if it is carrying the rabies virus.” Frazier added, “It is never enjoyable to have to recommend that someone receive a series of rabies shots or to have to euthanize their family pets. Unfortunately, rabies is a fatal disease, and as such requires immediate action, and exposed individuals must NOT take a “wait and see” approach, only seeking treatment once symptoms develop.

School Board to meet May 8
A couple with ties to Mountain View was found murdered in their home in Springfield, MO. According to reports, the Springfield Police Department was dispatched to a house in the 3200 block of S. Greenbrier Ave. at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, May 1st after relatives reported difficulties making contact with the residents, Gary and Jan Tyrrell. Police entered the house to discover Gary Tyrrell, 60, and Jan Tyrrell, 61, deceased. The case is being investigated as a double homicide. Gary Tyrell served as an adjunct Professor for Southwest Baptist University in
Mountain View. Tyrell was scheduled to teach this past Friday afternoon. He taught U.S. History and Geography on the Mountain View campus. SBU Director, Larry Price shared with the Standard, “We learned of it twenty minutes before class started,” as he shared that the horrific tragedy left students and faculty dismayed. “I knew him for 26 years,” shared Price. “The students loved him.” Anyone with information that might assist in this investigation is asked to contact the See Homicide on Page 5

Congressman Jason Smith
New EPA standards would kill jobs The EPA is developing new ground-level ozone regulations that would hurt manufacturing, mining, farming and construction jobs Congressman Jason Smith expressed his concerns with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) plan to tighten National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone from
the current 75 parts per billion to between 60 and 70 parts per billion. In a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, Smith said the new regulations would have a detrimental impact on manufacturing, mining,
farming, and construction jobs in Missouri’s Eighth Congressional District. “Across the nation, lowering the standards has the potential to detrimentally impact manufacturing, natural re-
sources and mining, and construction jobs. In Missouri more than 150,000 jobs in monitored counties have the potential to be affected. See Smith on Page 5

Cowboy Roundup held at Summersville Library
Thirteen little cowpokes, (boys and girls), and as many parents and grandparents participated in Summersville Branch Library’s Cowboy Roundup on Saturday, April 26th. The activity began with registration, receiving a red bandana from the Summersville Friends of the Library, and being photo-
graphed by Cloyce Puckett for a personalized “WANTED” poster that was later sent home with each of them. Next was a gathering around the “campfire” on hay bales, that were brought in by Lindsay and Eston Crouse, to hear a real cowboy, Jim Wenzel, tell stories and recite poetry. Jim and his wife, Judy were
dressed in western attire and led the group in songs while they accompanied them on guitars. Cow Patty cookies, made by Betty Jo Bandy, were consumed before moving on to watch Johnnie Lou Mahan perform rope tricks and then share a DVD of trained horses and other rope tricks from the past. Lorna Brooks brought Days of Thunder, a beautiful Clydesdale owned by Josiah Boyles, for everyone’s enjoyment. The Roundup ended after everyone took their turn riding a roping bull that was loaned by Scott Kirkman.

With Memorial Day just around the corner, it’s time again to consider the gift of a memorial book instead of/or in addition to cemetery flowers this year. They are a gift that keeps on giving to others in memory of loved ones through the year. We’ve recently received three new books at our branch as memorials for the children of Ilene (Young) Jacks. Each has a memorial label inside the front cover with both the name of the honoree and of the donor. The Young memorial books include The Book Thief by Markus Zusak; The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty; and The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. All are on the Bestseller List and may have a waiting list on holds. Phone the library to have either or all of these titles placed on hold. We’re so proud of our wall display frames that the Friends of the Summersville Library purchased for us, and the May through July exhibit will be dedicated to honoring our local veterans. We need 8x10 photos for the display. A copy will be made, so the original will not need to be left at the library. We’ll need the veteran’s name, branch of service, war, and year to make an info note for each photo. These should be brought to the library AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Summersville Friends of the Library meet at 5:00 p.m. on the 2nd Monday of each month at the Summersville Branch Library. The next meeting will be held on May 12th. Everyone is invited to come and participate in the continuing growth of the new Summersville Branch Library.

When I travel throughout the 30 counties in our Eighth Congressional District I constantly hear from people who are looking for work. Government does not create jobs, but government can create an economic environment that encourages small business owners to grow their businesses and hire new workers. Since my election to Congress, I have been working with my colleagues in the House of Representatives to implement pro-growth policies. The House has passed over 40 bills that would reduce ineffective government regulations, make energy more affordable and the tax code simpler. Unfortunately, these pro-jobs bills are all stuck in the Senate where Harry Reid refuses to give them a vote. Nothing kills jobs faster than a Washington regulation. Crippling federal regulations like the Obamacare 30-hour work week are causing employers to reduce hours for their workers. I voted in favor of the Save American Workers Act of 2014 to restore a full work week to 40-hours and reduce the harmful effect of Obamacare on American businesses and workers. Another government agency that proposes unreasonable regulations is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The House passed the Energy Tax Protection Act to fight the EPA’s attempt to broaden the scope of greenhouse gases. The EPA change would create enormous economic pain with no environmental gain. The extreme EPA regulatory games must stop. An affordable and stable energy supply is essential for economic growth and job creation. Many businesses rely on natural gas to operate their businesses and this year prices are up by as much as 45%. The House passed the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorating Development Act or RAPID Act to expedite federal approval of construction projects, including energy and natural gas infrastructure. In some cases, the federal permit and environmental regulations can add five to seven years to the process for licensing and finally constructing new power plants. The RAPID Act will help cut through the red tape so new power plants can be built more quickly and families can see lower utility costs. At over 73,000 pages long, the U.S. tax code has become a real burden on job creators. The House passed the Taxpayer Bill of Rights Act of 2013 and the Taxpayer Transparency Act of 2014 to protect small businesses from unfair targeting by the IRS. No business can operate and grow effectively if they are living in fear of their own government. These are just a few of the solutions that conservatives in the House of Representatives have championed to stimulate our economy and encourage job growth. America has a rich history of leading the world in entrepreneurship, innovation and hard work. The freedom and opportunity in this country is unparalleled, but this opportunity has recently been stagnated by overregulation, overspending, and excessive taxation. Americans deserve better. Folks in our Eighth Congressional District who are looking for work deserve more from The Office of Administratheir government. It’s time for Harry Reid to stop playing tion, in conjunction with the politics with our nation’s economic security and start voting on the pro-growth legislation passed by the House of Repre- Missouri Department of Revenue, has awarded the mansentatives.

Final Weeks of Session Fly By
It seems that each week is busier than the one before it, especially as we near the end of this legislative session. On Thursday, May 1, two pieces of legislation I sponsored were truly agreed and finally passed. Both Senate Bill 525 and Senate Bill 694 are now on their way to the governor’s desk. Senate Bill 525 modifies current law in relation to food preparation and production for charitable purposes. This legislation allows non-profit organizations and groups to prepare food in their homes, or other private facilities, for distribution to community members at charitable fundraising dinners. It requires that the consumer be informed by a clearly visible placard at the serving location that the food was prepared in a kitchen that is not subject to regulation and inspection by the regulatory authority. Organizers may also notify the regulating authority of the event and provide them with the time, day, location and name of the person organizing the event. This law does not apply in Jefferson, Boone, Clay, St. Louis or St. Charles counties, nor in the City of St. Louis. This legislation also allows cottage food production operations to be exempt from state health or food code laws. Additionally, local health departments are not allowed to regulate production of food at a cottage food production operation, but each local health department and the Department of Health and Senior Services must maintain a record of complaints made against a cottage food production operation. This is just common-sense legislation. It allows small in-home, food-based businesses to run their businesses, as they have been, without the oversight of the state. These businesses are doing a good job. If for any reason that changes, the state will have a record of complaints, and the business will lose customers if they neglect to maintain a high-quality product. Accountability for the cottage food industry remains and we protect the practice of fundraising dinners for non-profits. Senate Bill 694 would modify many aspects of the payday lending law and completely change the industry in our state. This measure would end consumers’ abilities to renew their loan or ask for an extension. EPPs (Extended Pay Plan) will be allowed to help pay off loans. Under the EPP, borrowers have up to 120 days to pay off their loan. The payment plans are based on the consumers’ pay periods and no interest or fees are charged during the EPP. There will be no early payment penalties, but the lender does have right of acceleration upon failure to pay. Only one EPP is allowed in a 12 month period. Under Senate Bill 694, payday lending businesses would have to pay $500 for yearly fees, up from the current $300. These fees would go to the Missouri Division of Finance. The measure also states that signage must be posted in the lobby of such business and display the cost to borrow the money, per $100 borrowed. If we can provide the best information to consumers in a way that they can understand it, then we are already helping them make better financial decisions. This week the Senate also passed the budget and we expect it to be finalized and sent to the governor next week, but first select members of the Senate and House will hold conference committee hearings to iron out the differences. The $26 billion budget contains $46 million earmarked for core grants for Area Agencies on Aging, along with an additional $400,000 increase in funding for home-delivered meals for seniors. These two budget items alone will have an impact in every city and county in the Show-Me State. The Area Agencies on Aging help seniors sign up for health care, assist with filing taxes, support in-home medical services and help to arrange home-delivered meals. The services provided by the agency are vital. Another passing vote by the House and Senate would send the budget to the governor. Capitol Guests This week we had several directors from the Missouri Electric Cooperatives stop by the office. Leslie Thomas and Teresa Housholder, along with students hosted by local Rotary Clubs, also stopped by. Last week we had 25 students from the Ozark Mennonite School in Seymour come to visit. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

Many of the good-paying jobs in Missouri, and in my district, are provided by manufacturers, a sector that would be hit hard by further regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency,” wrote Smith. “Worse, areas in ‘non-attainment’ often require expensive blends of gasoline, vehicle emissions tests, and job-killing regulations that prevent businesses from expanding or even locating in a ‘non-attainment’ area.” When the EPA considered
tightening the same air standards in 2010, the estimated costs in Missouri were $1.9 billion per year. Smith said those costs will only continue to grow and he urged the EPA Administrator not to lower NAAQS levels. “Industries impacted in Missouri collectively contribute over $25 billion dollars to our State’s GDP. As this process proceeds, I hope you will take into consideration the disastrous effects all of this new regulation will have on our

Rabies It is extremely important for anyone that has been bitten by a domestic animal, had an exposure such as a bite or scratch from a wild animal or had contact with a pet that has been exposed to a wild animal to report the incident to the health department as well as their physician for a rabies risk assessment. The proper actions must be taken quickly following a possible exposure to protect the individual from the rabies virus.” In 2008, a Texas county man died from rabies after being bitten on the ear by a bat. This was the first human rabies death in Missouri since 1959. Many Missourians receive the anti-rabies series of shots each year to prevent the development of rabies after experiencing a

does not have a suspect identified. The investigators have finished their crime scene investigation and are continuing to analyze their findings.
From Page One possible exposure to a rabid animal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 40,000 persons in the United States receive the anti-rabies series of shots annually. Although rabies is transmitted to humans almost entirely through bites from rabid animals, contamination of open wounds or mucous membranes with saliva or nervous tissue from a rabid animal could potentially constitute an exposure. It is important to remember that personal pets should not be handled without protection directly after being exposed to wildlife due to the potential for carrying residual saliva from an infected animal. To date in 2014, this is the
second confirmed case of rabies in Howell County, as well as the fourth rabies case statewide. Howell County ended 2013 with 4 rabies cases reported to the Howell County Health Department, 3 involving skunks and 1 involving a cat. In 2012, Howell County had a total of 6 positive rabies cases, which all involved skunks. In 2011, Howell County had a total of 7 positive rabies cases, all involving skunks. Annually, 7,000 to 8,000 rabid animals are detected in the United States, with more than 90 percent of the cases in wild animals. Rabies is found naturally in Missouri, occurring primarily in bats and skunks, although other animals are also found to be rabid each year, including domestic species such as dogs, cats, horses, and cattle.

Lady Eagles unstoppable, 12-3 for season by Laura Wagner
up the season, the Lady Eagles don’t seem to be letting anything get in the way of their history making year and a possible district championship. The week began with an away game on Monday, April 28th at Hillcrest. Only having one day of rest after playing three games in a tournament over the weekend, the Lady Eagles didn’t score in the first half. They did however manage to keep the Lady Hornets from scoring in the first half.
The second half began with Senior Kassidy Ledgerwood The wins just keep coming firing up the team by scoring for the Lady Eagles whose three goals in the first twenty season currently stands at 12minutes. Feeding off her mo3. They have shown that dementum, Jessica Mantel was spite their lack of numbers on next to score. The goal came the bench they are a force to as Ledgerwood fired it in but be reckoned with in Class 2 the wind seemed to hook the District 11 soccer. This is the ball away from the goal. No Lady Eagles most dominating worries because Mantel was season, having scored the most ready to finish it off, 4-0 for wins ever recorded since the the Lady Eagles. The final team was formed in 2008. As score of the game came after a they come closer to wrapping header bounced around in front of the net. Mercedes Lara was quick to swoop in and lob the ball over the line. The Lady Eagles defense held out for the remainder of the game defeating the Lady Hornets 5-0. The final games of the week were back to back home games playing St. James first on Thursday, May 1st then ending the week on Friday, May 2nd against Dixon. It may be Spring but it sure didn’t feel like that Thursday night as the Lady Eagles took the field against the St. James Lady Tigers, especially to those of us watching the game. Temperatures were in the 50’s but it felt more like 30 degrees with the wind blowing.

the mercy rule, 10-0. The game was called with just twentysix minutes left in the second half. There’s not a whole lot that can be said about this game other than it was a nice break in competition for the Eagles. For the game, Henry led with 3 goals, Ledgerwood had 2 goals and 3 assists, Mantel had 2 goals and 1 assist with one of those goals coming from a corner kick. Mantel can “bend it like Beckham” when it comes to corner kicks and almost always scores. Mercedes Lara had 1 goal along with Kailyn Daniels and Bailey Wagner. Samantha Henry came out of the box and played the field assisting with 2 goals. “We focused on having fun and getting the ball moving again. After some tough games last week/weekend it was nice to see the girls laughing and moving the ball well. We worked on transitioning from defense to offense faster,” Coach Ball reflected. Friday night the week ended on a high note for the Lady Eagles. I was actually surprised about this game. Not that the girls won but by how much. The game was a shutout, 10-0 victory. It surprised me because Dixon was 10-1 for the season before this game. I guess I just expected a little more of a challenge out of the Lady Bulldogs. The game started with both teams possessing the ball equally working the ball back and forth. Daniels scored twenty minutes into the first half. Keeper Samantha Henry scooped the ball up as the Lady Bulldogs tried to score. She punted the ball just shy of midfield. Daniels seized the ball, broke away from all de-
Jessica Mantel scored 2 goals with 1 assist for the Lady Eagles on Thursday, May 1st. Mantel scored one of the goals from a corner kick. She is known for her wicked hook off of corner kicks.

After that the Lady Eagles took turns hammering the Lady Bulldogs keeper. At half, the score was 6-0. In the second half, Coach Ball flipped the field with defenders playing forward positions and forwards playing defense. Sam Henry left the box and Yarber stepped in. Sam Henry scored two, one from a PK. The score was 9-0 with plenty of time left on the clock. The crowd was waiting for that final goal and the mercy rule to be put into effect. That goal did not come until 28 seconds left in the game. Dixon battled hard to avoid that but Natalie Henry broke through and finished the game, 10-0. “We didn’t really know what to expect. We came out strong but couldn’t put the ball in the net for the first part of the first half. Overall their communication and effort was 100%. Again it was nice to see
them enjoy the game and not stress over each mistake but instead recover and back their teammates up,” commented Coach Ball on the victory. For the game, Daniels scored 2, 1 assist; Natalie Henry scored 2, 1 assist; Samantha Henry scored 2; Jaci Mantel scored 1; Ashley Miller had 1 assist; Beth Sherbo scored 1; Jessica Mantel had 1 assist and Ledgerwood had 2 goals, 2 assist. On Monday, May 5th, the Lady Eagles celebrated Senior Night. Kassidy Ledgerwood, Samantha Henry, Ashley Miller and Mercedes Lara were all honored. The Lady Eagles will wrap up their regular season with two away games on Thursday, May 8th at Laquey and Tuesday, May 13th at Poplar Bluff. District tournament is slated to being Saturday, May 17th.

How Medicare Covers Your Eyes Dear Savvy Senior, What does Medicare cover when it comes to eye care? I currently have good vision insurance through my employer but will lose it when I retire. Looking Ahead Dear Looking, Many retirees are unclear with what Medicare does and doesn’t cover when it comes to eye care. The good news is that Medicare covers most medical issues like cataract surgery, treatment of eye diseases and medical emergencies. But unfortunately, routine care like eye exams and eyeglasses are usually the beneficiary’s responsibility. Here’s a breakdown of how original Medicare covers your eyes, along with some tips that can help you reduce your outof-pocket costs.
The Standard News Exams: Routine eye exams (sometimes called “eye refractions”) that test for eyeglasses or contact lenses are usually not covered under Medicare, but you are entitled to a yearly medical eye exam if you have diabetes or are at high risk for glaucoma. People at high risk include diabetics, those with a family history of glaucoma, and older Hispanics and AfricanAmericans. Medicare will also pay for exams to test and treat medical eye diseases and other problems like macular degeneration, dry eye syndrome, eye infections or if you get something in your eye. Eyeglasses and contact lenses: Medicare does not pay for eyeglasses or contact lenses, with one exception: If you have had a conventional intraocular lens inserted during cataract surgery, Medicare will pay for eyeglasses or contact lenses following the operation. Otherwise, you are on your own. To find affordable eye exams or eyeglasses, many retailers provide discounts – between 10 and 30 percent – if you belong to a membership group like AARP or AAA. Also consider Costco Optical, which is considered by Consumer Reports as the best discount store for good eyewear and low prices – it requires a $55 membership fee. Walmart Vision Centers and For Eyes Optical offer low prices too with no required membership. You can also save big by buying your glasses online. Some online stores like zennioptical.com, goggles4u.com and
Nearly 900 pounds shed in Mercy “Biggest Loser” challenge Mercy St. Francis Hospital has won a battle in the war on obesity. Fifty-seven people accepted the hospital’s 12week “Biggest Loser” challenge in February, losing a combined 867 pounds. That’s nearly a half-ton of weight. “The goal was to help community members obtain a healthy weight and make a lifestyle change to get there,” said organizer Carol Schmidt, nursing administrative assistant at Mercy St. Francis Hospital. “We thought we would try a new twist to the popular weight loss challenge and it certainly paid off.” If you’ve seen the hit TV
eyebuydirect.com sell prescription eyeglasses for as little as $7. To purchase glasses online you’ll need your prescription and pupillary distance from an exam, and your frame size. Eye surgeries: Medicare covers most eye surgeries including cataract surgery to remove cataracts and insert standard intraocular lenses to replace your own. Medicare will not, however, pick up the extra cost if you choose a specialized lens that restores full range of vision, thereby reducing your need for glasses after cataract surgery. The extra cost for a specialized lens can run up to $2,500 per eye. Eye surgeries that are not covered by Medicare include refractive surgery and cosmetic eye surgery (such as eyelid surgery) that are not considered medically necessary. Supplemental Insurance Keep in mind that of the medical eye care services that are covered by Medicare, you’re still responsible for 20 percent of the cost – Medicare pays the other 80 percent. To help with this out-of-pocket expense, you may want to consider getting a Medigap supplemental policy. If you can’t afford Medigap insurance, check into EyeCare America at eyecareamerica.org. This is a national program that provides medical eye examinations to seniors, age 65 and older, and up to one year of treatment at no cost. Advantage Option Another way you can get extra vision coverage when you join Medicare is to choose a Medicare Advantage plan instead of original Medicare. Many of these plans – which are sold through private insurance companies (see medicare.gov/finda-plan) – cover routine eye care and eyeglasses along with dental, hearing and prescription drugs, in addition to all of your hospital and medical insurance. Or, if you choose original Medicare, consider purchasing an individual vision insurance policy (see ehealthinsurance.com). These policies cover routine eye care and eyeglasses and typically run between $12 and $15 per month. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

MDC: First-week turkey harvest encouraging Relatively strong harvest numbers from the first week of spring turkey season are encouraging, but Resource Scientist Jason Isabelle says that harvest figures from the entire three weeks of spring turkey hunting will provide a more reliable indicator about the status of Missouri’s wild turkey population. As leader of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s turkey management program, Isabelle
Harvest numbers were up in six of eight regions pays close attention to indicators of how the state’s wildturkey population is doing. The size of the spring turkey harvest is one such indicator. Hunters checked 22,348 turkeys during the first week of the spring season. That is a 4-percent increase from 2013 and is 7 percent above the previous five-year average. It also is the largest first-week harvest since 2007. Isabelle is pleased with the early uptick in turkey harvest, but he also is a bit cautious about
Southern MO Sheep, Goat Conference in Thayer, May 10 University of Missouri Extension and Lincoln University Cooperative Extension (LUCE) will host a seminar for sheep and goat producers from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on May 10 at the Thayer Elementary School Gym, 365 East Walnut, Thayer 65791. “The seminar will include tips and strategies to make sheep and goat producers more successful on their operation. This should be an informative meeting for anyone interested in sheep or goats, youth or adults,” said Logan Wallace, a livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension. The BUB Ranch Buying Station, Koshkonong, Mo., has partnered with Oregon County Extension to sponsor this informative program.
Guest speakers for the program are Dr. Jodie Pennington, small ruminants specialist with Lincoln University and Mark Kennedy, a grazing consultant and retired state grassland conservationist. The meeting will cover the following topics: Selection of Breeding Stock, Production of Hair and Wool Sheep, Health and Diseases of Sheep and Goat, panel of sheep and goat producers, Marketing, and Forages for Small Ruminants. Pre-registration is requested with a fee of $5 per person. Registration includes lunch and reference materials. Deadline to preregister is May 7, 2014.

drawing conclusions just yet. Top turkey-harvest counties in the first week of the season were Franklin with 504 birds checked, Texas with 451 and Callaway with 394. The season continues through May 11. Six of eight first-week regional harvest totals were up compared to last year. Those were Central 3,503 (up 6 percent), Kansas City 2,559 (up 4 percent), Northeast 2,725 (up 5 percent), Northwest 2,537 (up 12 percent), Ozark 2,990 (up 6 percent), and Southwest 3,774 (up 13 percent). Opening-week harvests were down in the Southeast 2,434 (down 8 percent) and St. Louis 1,831 (down 9 percent) regions. The Conservation Department recorded three firearmsrelated turkey hunting incidents during the first week of the season. Two involved hunters who mistook other hunters for turkeys. The victim in the third incident was between the shooter and a turkey and was caught in the line of fire. The shooters’ ages ranged from 42 to 64. In two of the incidents, the shooter and victim were hunting together but had separated. Isabelle said these three incidents illustrate some of the most frequent causes of firearms related turkey-hunting injuries. “We could drastically reduce the number of incidents
Ozarks Fruit & Garden Review Raspberries in Grow Bags by Marilyn Odneal Horticulture Adviser Last week, I reported about how well our primocane bearing raspberries performed in the high tunnel. Unfortunately, the spotted wing drosophila (SWD) arrived in Missouri last year and seriously complicated high tunnel raspberry production making it necessary to spray insecticides weekly during harvest. We also had to check the harvested berries for the SWD larvae that appear as little whitish worms. Management of this new pest not only requires pesticide application, but also better canopy management – thinning out the canes leaving only three to five per square foot to grow and produce. By thinning the canopy, the amount of cover the spotted wing drosophila has to hide in is decreased making them better targets to pesticide spray. A high tunnel, or hoop house, is an unheated greenhouse – the side walls are
opened and closed to cool the tunnel as needed. This allows growers to moderate the climate and extend the season to earlier production in the spring and later production in the fall. Our tunnel at Mountain Grove has both annual vegetables and perennial primocane bearing raspberries and peonies. The problem with perennial crops that live for several years is that they tie up the space they occupy in the high tunnel all year long. With annual crops, you can grow crops in succession and harvest several different crops from the same space. You can also interplant crops that are harvested at different times – this year we planted lettuce and later put potatoes in between the lettuce rows. The lettuce will be harvested before the potatoes need to be hilled up. We will harvest the potatoes for new potatoes when the plants flower. I am presently working on a project where we are planting primocane bearing raspberries in grow bags or fabric pots.
Katie Kicklighter pots up bare root dormant primocane bearing raspberry plants in grow bags. The bagged raspberries are part of a project concerning high tunnel production where perennial raspberries are rotated into and out of the tunnel to allow several crops to be produced in the same space. (Photo provided to the Standard)
The bagged raspberries will be rotated into the high tunnel space where the vegetables are growing after we are done harvesting them. The bags will be lined up in rows and a trellis will be installed for the primocanes to grow up and produce. At the end of the raspberry production season, the bags will be moved out, the primocanes cut back, and the bagged plants will be overwintered and rotated into the tunnel for production after the early season annual crops. The grow bags actually make perennial plants mobile, so they don’t tie up the production space in the high tunnel for the entire season. Grow bags will naturally air prune the roots so you do not have to worry about the plants becoming root bound as you would if you planted them in a plastic pot. Grow bags also conform to irregularities in the soil surface, so they are not prone to falling over like plastic pots. The bag culture may also make canopy management for spotted wing drosophila control easier to do – it will probably be easier to prune to three to five canes per 12 inch diameter (five gallon) bag than to thin rows inground. This is the first year for the project, and we have the raspberries potted up. The varieties we are testing in this system include Josephine (our standard), Joan J., Polka, Himbo Top and Crimson Giant. This project is funded through the Missouri Department of Agriculture Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. I will keep you posted on how this project goes. Hopefully it will give high tunnel producers another crop to consider in their product mix without sacrificing permanent space in the high tunnel.
