Four dead in plane crash Scientist Jeff Beringer, most black bears that cause problems in Missouri are young males that are looking for new homes in spring and early summer after dispersing from their mothers’ home ranges. In their search for food, these young males may come into contact with humans and cause problems. Beringer explained that black bears are naturally fearful of humans and prefer to mind their own business as they forage for natural foods in fields and forests. “Early summer can be a lean time for bears,” he said. “They are constantly looking for food. If they find an unsecured garbage can, a bowl of pet food left See Bears on Page 7

Forget April, May had all the showers No surprise, Missouri had a lot of rain in May. “May was very wet for all of Missouri, especially in western parts of the state where many locations saw more than 10 inches of rain,” said Pat Guinan, climatologist for University of Missouri Extension’s Commercial Agriculture Program. The average precipitation total for all of Missouri was just under 7.5 inches, which Guinan said is nearly 3 inches above normal. Preliminary data indicate that May 2015 will rank as the 13th wettest on record, and records go back 120 years. “It will go down as the wettest May since 2002. So, we haven’t seen a wetter May in more than a decade,” Guinan said. With all that rain, surely it’s safe to say that we don’t have to worry about drought? “Well, it’s never safe to say that, because in Missouri things can change very quickly from wet to dry or See Showers on Page 7

City of Mtn. View
'Price of doing business' discussed at council, several share animosity towards ordinance Concerns remain for several business owners in Mtn. View about the recently proposed and adopted City Ordinance #1634 known as the “pawn shop ordinance”. Council members along with Mtn. View Police Department Chief and assistant chief were present to answer questions at a recent council meeting. Questions were answered although the general atmosphere of the meeting was that of animosity towards the new ordinance that will be state law in 2017. Just a few months ago MVPD Chief Jamie Perkins
and Assistant Chief Ellie Carson presented an ordinance before council members requiring anyone who regularly purchased second hand goods to make a record of that transaction including a description of the item and a copy of the sellers I.D. Council members approved the ordinance in March but questions still lingered for local business owners as they sought clarity on some of the ordinances verbiage. MVPD Assistant Chief Ellie Carson proposed to council that they require a separate license for pawn
shop and second hand dealers. “It’s just a different license but it would clear up a lot of the confusion as to whether business owners fall under this ordinance or not,” explained Carson. “I believe a pawn shop and second hand dealer license would clear up a lot of our problems.” The license Carson was referring to is already in the Missouri law books as State Statute 367.043 stating, “No person shall operate a pawnshop unless such person obtains a municipal pawnshop license issued pursuant to this section.” Councilman Jeff Wade
clarified for everyone attending the meeting, “This is current state law, correct?” Carson stated that, “Yes as of August 2014, this is state law.” MVPD Chief Jamie Perkins distributed paper work to council explaining, “I found an actual state statute that is standing right now, 407.292, we do not have that. This state statute is on the selling of precious metals.” The statute states, “The time and date of the transaction shall be recorded See Council on Page 4

What could be a little better than a little Shakespeare in summer? How about a little Shakespeare dipped in barbecue sauce? That’s exactly what the Star Dramatic is offering up at the Star Theater in Willow Springs with their newest production, Barbecuing Hamlet.

Can’t Lead From Behind On Monday, President Obama didn’t have a strategy to train Iraqi forces in the fight against ISIS. In fact, at a press conference in Germany he made it clear that the he had “no complete plan.” That’s almost exactly the same thing he said ten months ago, when he admitted “we don’t have a strategy yet.” Just two days after this week’s admission, the president suddenly authorized up to 450 more troops to be sent to Iraq to advise Iraqi forces. Americans deserve better than kneejerk foreign policy. President Obama has not taken ISIS seriously from the beginning, famously calling them the “J.V. team” last September. ISIS is making gains in the Middle East, but disappointingly nothing has materialized from this president except excuses and procrastination. Despite repeated pushes for a concrete plan to deal with terrorists who wish Americans harm, the president has instead focused on negotiating a potentially disastrous nuclear deal with Iran. Instead of eliminating threats, he’s creating risks. Each day he waits to solidify a plan, more Christians are captured and enslaved or beheaded, and more land is overtaken by terrorists who are committed to killing innocent Americans. The president needs to define what a victory against ISIS would entail and to explain his comprehensive plan to keep this evil from coming to our shores. Homeland security doesn’t begin at our border, and the American people deserve a leader in their commander in chief. The stakes are just too high to waiver on America’s security. The U.S. can’t lead from behind.
parade. Participants are invited to choose a character from American history such as Thomas Jefferson, Dolly Madison, Paul Revere, Annie Oakley to name a few. Parade organizers are actively seeking 100 clowns for the parade with costumes and makeup made available free of charge. Clowns are asked to meet at the Star Theater annex at 8 a.m. for make up and clown costume fitting. Churches, civic organizations, service clubs, and individuals are asked to join in the Nation's Birthday parade. The Willow Springs parade
has grown into a very large parade with military units and special dignitaries. Last year's parade took approximately one hour to pass in front of the reviewing stand in front of the historic Star Theater. The parade line up area is at Booster field. There is a patriotic program immediately following the parade at the Star Theater, where each historical character will speak briefly about the character's role in our Nation's history.

somebody brings me a ring for repair, and they have another ring that they want as an insertion in the repair, I cannot alter that for five days, I cannot repair this other person’s ring for five days?” Chief Perkins answered, “This is my understanding if you buy it. I just found this statute before I came here. If you’re going to buy it and sell it you have to hold it for five days.” “And if the price of gold changes in five days then what?” questioned Musille. “This is state law,” replied Chief Perkins. “So if I call and find out the price of gold today and in five days it changes … I’ve lost it?” Musille asked of Chief Perkins. “That’s the price of doing business,” began Chief Perkins. “The law already says that you have to do it. It’s not a law that we’re throwing out there, you have to do it. It’s state statute.” Another local business owner, Danny Carr asked, “Who notifies the business owners of these changes to the law? I get updates from the federal government on changes.” Councilman Wade answered Carr’s questions with, “As a business owner, you’re responsible to stay
current on the laws and to obey the laws according to your business.” The meeting went on for an hour as local business owners circled back and forth questioning the validity of the new ordinance. Frustration from council and the local police department was seen as their hands were essentially tied as Assistant Chief Carson kept stating, “These are laws that are already in the books, these are laws that you have to follow. These are Missouri state laws.” Mayor Patrick Reed tried to end the discussions by asking, “Can we agree with a timeline for that of January 1st when the new licenses are due?” City Attorney Bob Oberzalek agreed, “I think that would be a good idea. It would make sense that you do it on January 1st. Otherwise you have to come in and do the licenses now and then do then again on January 1st.” To clarify and close, Councilman Wade stated, “I would encourage everyone who has access to the system to familiarize yourself with inputting the data and go ahead and utilize the system. It won’t be mandatory until the pawnshop licenses are issued January 1, 2016.

Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a sobriety checkpoint will be held in Carter County sometime in the month of July. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with area law enforcement, will conduct the checkpoint. Sobriety checkpoints are part of the Patrol’s efforts to remove careless and impaired drivers from Missouri’s highways. This enforcement operation will be conducted at a location which has been found to experience a higher than normal number of alcohol-related contacts, hazardous driving contacts, and traffic crashes. Captain Inman says, “The use of sobriety checkpoints enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways. Please, never drink and drive.” Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

From Page One farm, it's a small community, the family was pretty well known. They are taking it hard." Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB) were enroute from St. Louis and Chicago to investigate the crash. As of press time this accident is currently under investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Texas County Sheriff's Department, FAA and NTSB.
From Page One above normal. Above-average temperatures have been the trend this spring. March was above normal, April and so was May,” Guinan said. Now that spring is coming to a close, summer is nearly here. Guinan said this wet May could be a bellwether month. “When you look at the top 20 wettest Mays on record and then look at what happened
that following summer, there is definitely an indication that summers following a very wet May tend to be cooler and wetter than normal,” Guinan said. Guinan's prediction is in line with the Climate Prediction Center, which is calling for cooler temperatures and aboveaverage precipitation for this summer.
From Page One and brucellosis. Chronic wasting disease is the chief threat to wild deer and elk populations in North America. The disease, which ultimately ends in the death of infected animals, is a transmissible neurological disease that produces small lesions in the brain of deer and elk and is characterized by loss of body condition and behavioral abnormalities. If convicted, this charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both. In determining the actual sentences, a judge is required to consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines,
which provide recommended sentencing ranges. This case was investigated by agents from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Missouri Department of Conservation, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Assistant United States Attorney Dianna Collins is handling the case for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. As is always the case, charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations and do not constitute proof of guilt. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty.
From Page One bear to stay away from people. Feeding bears makes them lose their fear of people and usually results in the bears having to be destroyed. Remember: A fed bear is a dead bear.” Black bears in Missouri are found mostly in the southern part of the state with scattered reports from other areas. Beringer advises people living in southern Missouri to avoid conflicts with bears by not feeding birds and other wildlife from spring through fall, especially in rural areas. Bears are much less active from December through March, when supplemental feeding is more important for birds. “Bears may occasionally enter backyards or campsites, most always in search of food,” Beringer said. “It’s important to keep bears wild by making encounters with humans a negative experience, for the bear. If a bear approaches you, act immediately to scare it away by making noise and throwing rocks at it in order to restore its natural fear of people.” Beringer also recommends keeping pet food and livestock feed inside secure outbuildings. The same is true for barbecue grills and other items that smell like food. Trash should be put out as close to pick-up time as possible to minimize exposure to hungry bears. Beringer encourages campers and floaters in southern Missouri to be bear aware by keeping their campsites clean, packing
food in closed containers and placing them in secure locations, and disposing of garbage immediately. To learn more about black bears, including preventing and dealing with black bears around potential food sources, visit MDC’s website at mdc.mo.gov/node/4607. For problems with a nuisance bear, contact the nearest MDC office or conservation agent. BLACK BEAR RESEARCH Bears had nearly vanished from Missouri by 1940, but began to recolonize in southern parts of the state during the 1960s following reintroductions in Arkansas. During the last 50 years, Missouri’s bear population has increased -- and so has interest in the species. Beringer and other MDC staff are working on a research project to identify and track black bears in Missouri. Results of the research will help determine black bear numbers, locations, habits, reproduction rates, movement, and other information. The project includes tracking radiocollared bears and collecting hair samples for DNA analysis. The study is being funded in part through the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Wildlife Restoration Program. “The information gained from this research will be crucial in designing conservation strategies to manage black bears consistent with available habitat and within limits of human tolerance,” Beringer explained.

A variety of short courses scheduled for fall semester Missouri State UniversityWest Plains will offer a variety of short courses during the 2015 fall semester that will appeal to community members and students alike. The courses, all of which are offered in late afternoon and evening hours, will provide personal enrichment for area residents and serve as a special interest course for students who wish to gain an extra credit hour or two, university officials said. “Short courses are a fun, relatively low-intensity way of finding out more about a specific subject or just expanding your general knowledge about the world,” said Dr. Dennis Lancaster, dean of academic affairs. “The faculty members offering these courses have chosen topics that fit right into their own personal passions, which, of course, makes the courses a lot more fun and engaging.” The courses, which can run from four to five to eight weeks or even the full 16 weeks, focus on specific topics that will provide opportunities for lifelong learning, he added.

Workshop schedule announced for Old Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival Traditional music workshops will be held both days of the Old-Time Music, Ozarks Heritage Festival in downtown West Plains, Mo. The festival, in its 21st year, will be held Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20. The two-day annual event in downtown West Plains, Mo., celebrates Ozarks music and culture. Admission to all festival events is free. Workshop titles and their times are listed below: The Roe Family Singers will present: Autoharp ( Friday, 12-1 p.m.), Introduction to Bass (Friday, 1-2 p.m.) and Clogging and Buckdancing (Saturday, 12-1 p.m. ) The Roe Family Singers are a Good-Time, Old-Time Hillbilly band from the tiny community of Kirkwood Hollow, MN. Led by wife & husband Kim and Quillan Roe, the band marries oldtime sounds from barndances, fiddle pulls, and county fairs with the rock & roll passion of youth. The Roe Family Singers mix original music and
contemporary takes on oldtime, traditional, and gospel tunes into one roiling & rollicking river of fresh yet familiar American music. Every performance raises a ruckus. Michael Fraser and Tenley Hansen, the band known as Shortleaf, will present Old Time Fiddler for Beginners (Friday, 2-3 p.m.) Shortleaf is a music duo (Michael Fraser and Tenley Hansen) from Missouri with strong ties to the traditions of the Ozarks. Founded by Ozark fiddler Michael Fraser, this duet specializes in high-energy music rooted in celtic and old time traditions. Haunting ballads, rip roaring fiddle tunes with a dose of southern rock will provide an evening of what one may describe as "the real Mountain Music"! “King Clarentz”, Clarence Brewer, will present Delta Blues Slide Guitar (Friday, 3-4 p.m. and again Saturday, 5-6 p.m.). It’s billed as an exploration of Depressionera country blues, and open “devil” tuning
Clarence Brewer, betterknown as King Clarentz around the Ozark mountain area where he's a fixture on the local scene, mixes the infectious boogie rhythms of John Lee Hooker with the edgier juke joint blues modalism of R.L. Burnside and up-to-the-minute lyrics for a blend that's both irresistible and unique in modern blues. Brewer has developed a strong local following in the Ozarks as a blues performer, sculptor, and folk artist. Playing slide on a Sears & Roebuck Silvertone guitar while spinning tales of voodoo, politics gone wrong, the devil's den, fast food killing the populace, and bad women and whiskey, King Clarentz is a totally modern-thinking, cutting-edge bluesman who produces a sound that is positively crude and archaic. But he's far more than just a good-time performer with a backwoods style; Clarence Brewer is a modern artist with much to say and a beautifully raucous way of saying it.
Seth Shumate will conduct a Harmonica Gathering (Saturday, 1-2 p.m.) It’s been called a French harp, a mouth harp, a blues harp and a mouth organ, but its proper name is harmonica, and it will be the featured instrument of a demonstration and workshop 1-2 p.m., Saturday, June 20, at the Old-Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival. The gathering will be hosted by Seth Shumate, an Arkansas native whose grandfather and greatgrandmother played the instrument all their adult lives. Shumate said he acquired the habit in the seventh grade. Since then he has practiced, studied the history and currently plays with The Ozark Highballers. Free harmonicas will be provided to the first 70 participants in the gathering. Van Colbert will present his Banjo Workshop (Saturday, 2-3 p.m.) Old-time music has been a family tradition for generations for Colbert Brothers Van, Vernon and
John, all of whom hail from Willow Springs, Mo. “Mom and Dad instilled in us the love of their music, and to this day we play, sing and remember,” said Van, who is known for his unique “two-finger” roll style on banjo. Van currently plays with the Blackberry Winter Band, who rose to national recognition in the independent film “Winter’s Bone”. Victoria Johnson and Gail Morrissey of Stringfield will present Hammer Dulcimer (Saturday, 3-4 p.m.) Victoria Johnson has been playing music most of her life but one beautiful day in summer she heard her first hammer dulcimer and it was love at first listen. She also plays the guitar and fiddle in addition to the Hammered Dulcimer. Gail Morrissey started playing music in the Springfield public school system as a percussionists. She has sung, played and performed with many folk and gospel groups in the surrounding area. She and Victoria have played folk music together now for more than 18 years, eventually forming the group Stringfield. Dennis Crider will present Finger-picking guitar, rhythm guitar, and ukulele (Saturday, 4-5 p.m.) Dennis remembers loving the sound of Les Paul and Mary Ford even before he started kindergarten in his
home town of Wichita, Kansas. A few years later he gained appreciation of the finger style techniques of Merle Travis and Chet Atkins and around age 12 he began thumping on a banjo ukulele and a hard-to-play Stella acoustic guitar. After retiring from The Quill in 2008, Dennis was fortunate enough to join long-time music partner Marideth Sisco in the Oscarnominated movie “Winter’s Bone. The movie exposure resulted in forming the Blackberry Winter Band which was heard in the movie as well as on the film’s soundtrack. The Old-Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival is the signature event for West Plains. The two-day festival seeks to celebrate, preserve, pass on and nurture an appreciation of the old-time music and folk life traditions distinctive to the Ozark Highlands. 2015 Festival partners include the West Plains Council on the Arts, the City of West Plains, the Ozark Heritage Welcome Center, West Plains Civic Center, Charles and Pam Drago, and Missouri State UniversityWest Plains. Partial funding for this event was provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.

Helping Seniors Learn New Technology Dear Savvy Senior, What teaching resources can you recommend to help seniors learn how to use computers, tablets and smartphone devices? At age 72, I am interested in joining the technology revolution so I can keep up with my kids and grandkids a little better, but I need help. Technology Novice Dear Novice, There are lots of different technology teaching tools available to boomers and seniors today, but what’s available to you will depend on where you live. Here are some different places and to look for help. Local Classes and Workshops There are many communities that offer beginning computer and personal technology classes for older adults that are new to technology. To find out what’s available in your area, contact your local public library, senior center, college or university, or local stores that sell computers. Your Area Agency on Aging may also be able to help you – call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 to get your local number. If you can’t find any local programs that meet your needs, here are some national resources that offer technology training in select locations. SeniorNet: This organization offers a variety of basic online computer courses as well as instructor-led workshops at 36 learning centers throughout the United States.

Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at 12:15 pm July 14 for the new home of the OMC Orthopaedic Clinic. The community is invited to attend. The groundbreaking will be held at the new clinic location at the corner of Kentucky Avenue and Ninth Street. At 6500 square feet, the new clinic will greatly increase the size of the current clinic facility at 1609 Porter Wagoner. “We are so pleased to officially kick off construction of this new, state-of-the-art facility,” said Tom Keller, OMC President
and CEO. Keller said plans for the new facility include doubling the number of exam rooms, a more patient-friendly waiting room, imaging (x-ray) equipment, as well as a room for casting and physical therapy. A parking lot will adjoin the facility. The OMC Orthopaedic Clinic has been serving the region since 2009, and is staffed by three board certified orthopaedic surgeons: Dr. David Denenny who began at OMC in 2009, Dr. James Rushford who began in 2014 and Dr. Susan Jolly who is joining OMC in June of this year. “With the addition of a
third orthopaedic surgeon, this already-busy clinic needs a new home. We are proud to construct this spacious new facility to provide care to our patients in a more efficient and comfortable atmosphere,” added Keller. RKL Construction Company in West Plains will serve as the construction manager for the building project. Bates and Associates of Springfield is the architectural firm. Construction of the clinic is expected to be complete in spring 2016. The existing
building on the corner of Kentucky Avenue and Ninth Street will be removed to prepare the site for new construction. It has belonged to OMC for some years and has been used as OMC office space. The current clinic location at 1609 Porter Wagoner is listed for sale by Westgate Carol Jones Realtors of West Plains. The clinic will continue to operate at 1609 Porter Wagoner until the new facility is ready for occupancy. To reach the OMC Orthopaedic Clinic call 417256-1745.

Now available at the Red Cross Blood Drive is the Double Red Cell Donation. Donors who meet the requirements can safely donate two red cell units rather than one. Double red cell collection is an automated process that facilitates the collection of red blood cells while the donor’s plasma levels are maintained. Several factors make this donation desirable including the use of a smaller needle, donating less often, and because of the process used, donors feeling better afterward. “We are encouraging
everyone to give. The entire process will only take about an hour. It is amazing that with just a short time out of your day, you can help save a life,” said Joan Hanff, OMC Lab Services Director. Consider making a difference by donating blood at the next blood drive. Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. About 44,000 pints of blood are needed in the U.S. every day. Almost everyone will know someone in their lifetime who has the need for blood. Only 38% of the population is eligible to donate, but only about 8% of those who are eligible actually donate. For more information, visit redcrossblood.org, or call the OMC Public Relations Department at 417-2576735.

7,600-pound conveyor crushes worker after weld failure The death of a 52-yearold contractor, crushed by a conveyor carriage weighing nearly 4 tons at an automotive assembly plant, could have been averted if his employer followed federal safety standards, U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators determined. In December 2014, a weld failure caused a temporary support safety pin to disengage on an assembly line conveyor carriage at the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo. The 7,600-pound carriage then fell on the worker. In its review, federal inspectors cited KCI Inc., which is rebuilding the assembly line at the Ford Motor Co. plant, with one willful safety violation under OSHA’s general duty clause. The agency determined that KCI did not provide a workplace free of recognized hazards. OSHA has proposed penalties of $70,000 to the construction company, which employed the deceased worker. The agency also cited Ford for not inspecting the assembly line’s construction. “This worker’s death was preventable and a tragic loss for his family,” said Barb Theriot, OSHA’s area director in Kansas
City. “KCI and Ford have a responsibility to inspect assembly lines and ensure that workers moving large parts are protected from crushing and struckby hazards. Employers have an obligation and responsibility to protect their workers.” OSHA cited the automaker for one serious violation for failing to perform inspections as part of Ford’s accident prevention program. Proposed penalties total $7,000. Both companies have 15 business days from receipt of their citations to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director in Kansas City, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report amputations, eye loss, workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA’s toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency’s Kansas City Area Office at 816-483-9531. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA’s role is to ensure these conditions for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Ozark National Scenic Riverways
Plans to temporarily close stairwell, viewing platform of Devils Well Ozark National Scenic Riverways announces that the stairwell and viewing platform over Devils Well will be temporarily closed to the public on June 24 and 25 so that researchers may conduct biological monitoring of the underground spring system and evaluate the platform supports. Devils Well is a unique natural feature that was formed when the roof of a
huge cavern, containing an underground lake, collapsed. The result was a large sinkhole with an opening in the bottom through which the lake can be viewed. The water level is approximately 100 feet below the viewing platform, and the lake may be as much as 80 feet deep in a chamber that measures 400 feet long and 100 feet wide. The water in Devils Well emerges from the ground at Cave Spring on the Current
River. The first known exploration of Devils Well was in 1954 by brothers Bill and Bob Wallace, using a hand powered winch attached to steel cable and a “bosun’s chair”. Later, divers and researchers entered Devils Well to collect information about the lake and recorded the presence of two species of cave crayfish: the Salem cave crayfish and the rare, blind
southern crayfish. However, it has been more than 30 years since researchers last descended into Devils Well to monitor the underground environment. The Cave Research Foundation, in partnership with the National Park Service, will lead the monitoring efforts on June 24 and 25. The team will include highly trained individuals who are proficient in Single Rope Techniques and cave
MDC managed deer hunt applications open July 1 Beginning July 1, deer hunters can apply online for a shot at more than 5,100 slots for nearly 100 Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) managed deer hunts. The managed hunts will take place from mid-September through mid-January at conservation areas, state parks, national wildlife refuges, urban parks, and other public areas. The online application period runs July 1-31. To apply, visit the MDC website at mdc.mo.gov/ node/11252 between July 1 and 31. MDC will post drawing results at the same website address from Sept. 1 through Jan 15. Applicants who get drawn will receive area maps and other hunt information by mail. The hunts are open to Missouri residents and nonresidents and help achieve MDC’s deer-management goals for the state while providing additional hunting opportunities. Types of hunts include archery, crossbow, muzzleloader, historic methods, and modern firearms, plus youth hunts
and hunts for people with disabilities. Seventeen managed hunts will be held exclusively for hunters with disabilities. Eligibility varies by hunt so applicants should call the area hosting the hunt for details and to apply. Wheelchair-confined hunters may apply for more than one managed hunt offered at select conservation areas with a written request due by July 31 to: Missouri Department of Conservation, Attn: Managed Deer Hunts, PO Box 180, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0180. All other hunters may apply for only one managed hunt per year. Hunters may apply individually or as groups of up to six, except for youth-only hunts. Youths age 11-15 years by the date of the desired hunt who are hunter-education certified may apply individually or with one other youth for youth hunts and must be accompanied on the hunt by a qualified adult mentor. All applicants will need their nine-digit Conservation ID number to complete
the application process. Conservation ID numbers are listed on hunting and fishing permits and Missouri Conservation Heritage Cards. Resident or nonresident managed deer hunting permits are required to participate in managed hunts. These permits will be available to successful applicants beginning Sept. 1 from permit vendors, online through MDC’s e-Permits at mdc.mo.gov/node/10901, or through MDC’s free hunting mobile app -- MO Hunting. Hunter education is required for firearms managed hunts, unless the hunter is exempt by age or other reason. Hunter education classes fill up quickly as fall hunting seasons approach. For more information on hunter education options and classes, visit mdc.mo.gov/ node/3095. MDC uses a weightedpreference-point system to give previously unsuccessful applicants an advantage in future drawings. Hunters who apply for the first time

The platform will be closed to the public in order to ensure the safety of the research team. National Park Service staff will be on-site to talk with visitors and answer questions during the project. The research team hopes to document species that were observed in the past and record the presence of any additional species that were not previously
noted. The team will also examine the condition of the viewing platform supports. Devils Well is located off State Route KK in northern Shannon County.
