MDC
Search for vehicle in elk poaching
Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) agents would like to speak to the driver of a 2007-12 dark gray fourdoor GM pickup, reported by an anonymous tip to have been at Log Yard Access along the Current River between 8:30 and 9 p.m. on Dec. 28, 2015. Anyone who was at the Log Yard Access area any time that evening may have seen the vehicle and know the driver or perhaps saw or heard something that could be helpful to the investigation. Conservation agents would also like to hear from the driver of the vehicle, for the same reasons. In the late winter of 2012, a yearling bull elk was captured in eastern Kentucky. In late spring of that same year, that young bull was relocated some six hundred miles to Peck Ranch in Missouri and given Elk Identification Number 260 in Missouri’s elk restoration program. Over the next three years the young bull grew into See Elk on Page 4

Repairs to Akers Ferry begin, expect travel disruption Repairs to Akers Ferry, located at Akers on the upper Current River, are underway. The main support posts
for the ferry will be replaced beginning on June 20. In order to accomplish this work, heavy equipment will be in place on the ferry ramp on the north side of the Current River. While this equipment is being used on June 20, State Route K will be blocked for several hours. The river crossing will not be available to vehicular traffic during that time. The presence of the heavy equipment is only expected to disrupt travel on June 20. Travelers on State Route K should plan to use a different route across the Current River to avoid delays. Akers Ferry provides a Current River crossing on State Route K in northern Shannon County. The ferry has been out of service since mid-summer 2015. At that time, issues with the underground electrical system prompted closure of the ferry in order to replace and repair electrical wiring and components. Work on
the electrical system led to the discovery of severe deterioration of the main support posts. It was determined that these posts would need to be replaced to allow safe operation of the ferry. In addition to structural repairs on the ferry, the ferry channel across the Current River needs to be cleared of gravel and debris that has accumulated during several recent floods. Gravel removal will be completed as soon as possible after the main support posts are replaced. For more information, contact park headquarters at (573)323-4236, visit the park’s Facebook page, or website at www.nps.gov/ ozar. Ozark National Scenic Riverways preserves the free-flowing Current and Jacks Fork Rivers, the surrounding resources, and the unique cultural heritage of the Ozark people.

Patrol makes arrest for fatal hit and run that occurred in Jefferson Co. On June 14, 2016, at 6:50 p.m., the Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested William L. McKinley, 25, for felony leaving the scene
of a motor vehicle crash and tampering with evidence. McKinley’s arrest was the result of a fatal traffic crash that occurred April 24, 2016, on Missouri 30 east of Route BB in Jefferson County. The crash occurred as a 2013 Honda NPS50 scooter was traveling eastbound on Missouri 30 and was struck from behind resulting in the death of 44-year-old William L. Bentley. The investigation also resulted in the recovery of a white Chevrolet Trail Blazer driven by McKinley at the time of the crash. The Missouri State High-
Elk
way Patrol sought the assistance of the media and public in the search for this vehicle. The Patrol received tips and leads throughout the investigation and is thankful for the assistance that led investigators to the recovery of the vehicle and arrest of McKinley. The charges for which McKinley has been arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

MDC is seeking information from the public in a December, 2015 elk poaching case. (Photo provided to the Standard)
a magnificent example of what all people envision when they think of a mature bull elk. In the evening of Dec. 28, 2015 near Log Yard Access on the Current River, this bull’s life was taken by a poacher’s gun, his fully‑developed antlers were taken by the poacher’s chainsaw, and his carcass was left to rot by the poacher. That same night, the Current River was flooding to near historic levels. River gauge levels show that between 6 p.m. and midnight it rose from about 24 feet to 28 feet and then crested around 3 a.m. on Dec. 29 at about 29 feet. Shannon County Highway HH, which leads to the Log Yard area, was closed by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) from 8 a.m. on Dec. 28 until late in the day Dec. 29, due to flooding of Carr Creek. Still, many people who wanted to see the river during this flood event took another route in to Log Yard. Any one of these people may have information that could help in the investigation of the poaching of Elk 260. Elk 260 made a long and difficult journey from eastern Kentucky to Missouri, then flourished for three years and became a mature bull elk. It likely contributed a few calves to Missouri’s growing elk population. It also may have given many people their first opportunity and pleasure to see an elk in the wild. A poacher’s actions, for nothing more than Elk 260’s antlers, stopped both contributions. Anyone with information about the 2007-12 dark gray four-door GM pickup, or anything else regarding the poaching of Elk 260, please call Conservation Agent Brad Hadley at (573)230-3706 or call the Operation Game Thief (OGT) hotline at (800)392-1111. The OGT hotline is manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A reward from Operation Game Thief and the Conservation Federation of Missouri currently stands at $4,445.00.

Funding campaign for student union exceeds goal Over $311,000 has been raised for the Carol Silvey Student Union, well surpassing the $250,000 goal for the project, Missouri State University-West Plains Chancellor Drew Bennett announced today at the Missouri State University Board of Governors meeting at the West Plains Civic Center. Bennett said the amount includes monetary gifts, pledges and commitments for the new student lounge and activity space, which will be housed in Hass-Darr Hall, 201 Garfield Ave., the current site of the West Plains Post Office. “We not only achieved our goal, we exceeded it!,” he said. “This accomplishment highlights the importance of a student union on our campus. We are very grateful for the many people who contributed to make this possible.” “This is an exciting project,” said Director of Devel-
opment Joe Kammerer. “Not only are we raising funds for our first ever student union, we also have the opportunity to honor an amazing woman who has made such a positive impact on this campus and its students.” The new student union was named in honor of Carol Silvey, who served nearly 38 years on the Missouri StateWest Plains campus as a faculty member and the first director of development. Silvey worked tirelessly on behalf of Missouri State-West Plains students, teaching them the importance of their roots as a history instructor through her oral history project and growing the campus’ endowment to more than $1 million during her tenure as development director. Her efforts, university officials said, made a significant impact to the success of the university and the collegiate experience of its students. “It was a privilege and

Over 400 classes are being offered during the fall semester. Courses include those available online and at the Missouri State-West Plains campus in Mountain Grove. A complete listing of classes can be found online at http://grizzlyden.missouristate.edu/schedule, or students can pick up a printed copy of the schedule on campus at various locations or request a mailed copy by calling the admissions office at 417-255-7955. If they have not done so, current and readmitted students need to meet with their adviser and receive the alternate PIN (personal identification number) required for registration. They can then register online through My
Grizzly Den or in the registration and records office in Cass Hall, 515 Cass Ave, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays. New students or transfer students with less than 10 credit hours need to attend one of the six remaining STudent Advising and Registration (STAR) Orientation sessions scheduled prior to the fall semester – June 17, July 22, July 28, Aug. 5, Aug. 12 or Aug. 16. An additional STAR Orientation will be held July 26 at Shannon Hall, 401 East 17th St., in Mountain Grove. STAR is designed to provide students with an introduction to the university and its services, policies and procedures, and to assist students in registering for their first semester. To reserve a space in one of the sessions, contact the Advisement and Academic Coaching Center for Empowering Student Success (AACCESS) at 417255-7222.

a joy to work for Missouri State University and help area residents achieve their educational dreams and goals,” Silvey said. “Whether teaching them in the classroom or raising much needed funds to support their education, I thoroughly enjoyed working with the students and seeing their plans come to fruition. As a place to relax and study, this student union will continue to provide the atmosphere in which students can succeed, and I’d like to thank everyone, especially friends and former students, who contributed to make this project a reality.” “The community truly came together to fund a place where students can gather on campus,” Kammerer added. “We had over 80 contributors to this campaign, which is outstanding and indicative of the high regard in which Carol Silvey is held. The Carol Silvey Student Union would not be possible without the generous people of this community. We continue to be amazed at the kindness of Missouri State-West Plains’ supporters.” Contributors at the Bachelor’s level and above include Ozark Independent Living; Dr. Mark and Kim Dake, West Plains; William and Virginia Darr, Springfield; the Arch W.

dation; Dr. Herb and Mary Beth Lunday, Nixa; David and Brenda Montgomery and Erik and Katie Montgomery, all of Willow Springs; and Dr. Charles and Robin Morgan and Richard and Carol Silvey, all of West Plains. Renovation and expansion plans for the university-owned post office building received the green light in summer 2015 when Missouri legislators passed a bonding package and Gov. Jay Nixon signed the legislation authorizing approximately $300 million to fund repairs and renovations to public properties around the state. Included in that package was $1.5 million in funding for the
post office building, which will be vacated by the U.S. Postal Service by July 31. Its operations will be relocated to 212 Washington Ave. University officials anticipate the total cost of the renovation project will be $4.5 to $5 million, which will be covered with a combination of state, donor and university reserve funds. Once complete, the facility will house the student union, William and Virginia Darr Honors Program, tutoring services, the admissions office, academic advising, Veterans Services and the Drago College Store. University officials said they hope to open the new facility in time for
the 2018 spring semester. The project received significant financial support in fall 2015 from Mary Hass Sheid, West Plains, and the William R. Hass family, Springfield, and William and Virginia Darr, Springfield. Both families have a long and valued history of support for Missouri State-West Plains, and in gratitude for their gifts, the new facility was named for them. Kammerer said it’s not too late for those wishing to contribute to the Hass-Darr Hall project to do so. They can call the development office at 417-255-7240 or email wpdevelopment@missouristate.edu.
Board approves new culinary arts degree, 2 certificates Members of the Missouri State University Board of Governors today at their meeting in West Plains approved several resolutions related to academic programs at Missouri State-West Plains, including those creating a new Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Culinary and Hospitality Management degree and Certificates in Workplace Employability Skills and Horticulture. In addition, board members also approved resolutions changing the name of the Manufacturing Technology option under the AAS in Technology degree and the Certificate in Manufacturing Technology to Advanced Manufacturing Technology and adding an Entrepreneurship option to the AAS in Business degree. These proposals now will be submitted to the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) for approval early
First class completes CNA program
THESE STUDENTS are among the first to complete the certified nursing assistant (CNA) program offered at Missouri State University-West Plains. The students, who completed the 16-week program in early May, took their certification exams from the Missouri Health Care Association, the certifying agency, on May 5. The program will be offered each fall and spring in cooperation with the South Central Career Center and Willow Health Care, Inc.

this fall, university officials said. The AAS in Culinary and Hospitality Management degree, which will be offered in partnership with the South Central Career Center, expands on the current Culinary Arts option under the AAS in Entrepreneurship by including additional emphasis on the culinary arts, according to Cathy Proffitt-Boys, assistant professor of agriculture and entrepreneurship and division chair of applied technology, business and public services. “The current option under the entrepreneurship degree focuses on general entrepreneurship skills rather than those specific to culinary arts. This new degree will provide students with important business and technical knowledge and skills directed toward the culinary and hospitality fields”, she explained. The degree, she said, will expand educational opportunities for students interested in this career field, which is closely tied to area tourism, and will provide a conduit for students interested in the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Applied Science in Restaurant and Hospitality Management degrees at Missouri State University in Springfield. The new Certificate in Workplace Employability Skills is designed to develop the “soft skills” widely held to be critical to career success, Boys said, adding the need for better development of this skills in potential employees has been consistently mentioned as a concern by area employers. “Based on input from Missouri State-West Plains’ industry partners and career research, we’ve developed a set of workplace employability skills that can be taught in a series of onecredit-hour classes, which will be included as part of the 12-credit-hour certificate,” she said. The courses can be com-
pleted as a stand-alone certificate or as electives in various other degrees offered by the university, she said. They also can be offered to area employers as part of a customized training package, she added. The new Certificate in Horticulture will help area residents develop skills needed in a career pathway that is being redefined by new and emerging technologies, Boys said. “Agriculture has long been an important part of the economy and communities in our service area. New agricultural initiatives, including new agricultural cooperatives and value added product development, are creating opportunities, as well as educational needs. This certificate will fulfill short-term educational needs for students who want to focus on horticulture and related fields, but it also can be an entryway into our AAS in Agriculture degree,” Boys explained. If the degree and certificates are approved by CBHE, Missouri State-West Plains will then be authorized to offer 20 associate degrees and 26 certificate options. The remaining resolutions are minor changes that better reflect the nature of the course of study, Boys said. For example, she explained, the university currently offers a General Business option under its AAS in Entrepreneurship degree. This option is closely aligned with the AAS in Business degree, so offering the Entrepreneur-
ship option under the AAS in Business degree will bring entrepreneurship studies under the business degree program. As a result of this and the new AAS in Culinary and Hospitality Management degree, and AAS in Entrepreneurship will likely be eliminated in the near future, Boys said. The name change for the Certificate in Manufacturing Technology and the Manufacturing Technology option under the AAS in Technology degree to Advanced Manufacturing Technology better reflects the nature and purpose of the Greater Ozarks Center for Advanced Technology (GOCAT) where they will be offered, Boys said. GOCAT, which will be housed in the former city scales building on Howell Avenue, was developed through a partnership between the university, South Central Career Center and the City of West Plains and funded in part with money from the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant received by the university in 2014, Boys said. The degree and certificate programs also will support local efforts to increase manufacturing employment opportunities, she added.

Missouri becomes 34th state to provide CPR training in schools How Medicare Handles Second Medical Opinions Dear Savvy Senior, Does Medicare cover second medical opinions? The doctor I currently see thinks I need back surgery, but I would like to get some other treatment options before I proceed. What can you tell me? Searching Senior Dear Searching, Getting a second medical opinion from another doctor is a smart idea that may offer you a fresh perspective and additional options for treating your back condition so you can make a more informed decision. Or, if the second doctor agrees with your current one, it can give you some reassurance. Yes, Medicare does pay for second opinions if your current doctor has recommended surgery, or some other major diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, 80 percent of the costs for second medical opinions are covered under Part B (you or your Medicare supplemental policy are responsible for the other 20 percent), and you don’t need an order or referral from your doctor to get one. Medicare will even pay 80 percent for a third opinion, if the first two differ. Most Medicare Advantage plans cover second opinions too, but you may need to follow certain steps to get it paid for. For example, some plans will only help pay for a second opinion if you have a referral from your primary care doctor, and/or they may require that you can only use a doctor in their network. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll need to call it to find out their rules. Finding Another Doctor To find another doctor for a second opinion you can either ask your current doctor for a name or two, or you can ask another doctor you trust for a referral, or you can find one on your own. Whatever route you choose, it’s best to go with a doctor that’s affiliated with a different practice or hospital than your original doctor. Hospitals and practices can be set in their ways when it comes to treatments and are likely to offer similar advice. If you choose to find one on your own, use the Physician Compare tool at Medicare.gov/physiciancompare. This will let you find doctors by name, medical specialty or by geographic location that accept original Medicare. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. Or, if you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, call or visit your plan’s website for a list of candidates. After you’ve got a few doctors names, there are a number of free online resources to help you research them like HealthGrades.com and Vitals.com. Or, consider AngiesList. com (888-888-5478), which is a membership service that currently offers doctors ratings and reviews from other members in your area for $3.50 for one month, or $11.32 for the year, but will be offering free reviews this summer. After you find another doctor, before you get a second opinion you’ll need to have your current doctor’s office send your medical records ahead to the second doctor, or you may have to pick them up and deliver them yourself. That way, you won’t have to repeat the tests you already had. But, if the second doctor wants you to have additional tests performed as a result of your visit, Medicare will help pay for these tests too. For more information, see the Medicare publication “Getting a Second Opinion Before Surgery” at Medicare.gov/ pubs/pdf/02173.pdf. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Governor Jay Nixon signed Senate Bill 711 (SB 711), making Missouri the 34th state to provide lifesaving CPR training in schools. Today’s action by Governor Nixon marks the culmination of five years of work by many dedicated survivors, volunteers and advocates. This legislation has been the centerpiece of the American Heart Association’s policy priorities in the Show-Me State, opening the door for all Missouri students to receive a 30-minute introduction to lifesaving skills at some point during their four years of secondary education. The law will take effect during the 2017-2018 school year, in which more than 60,000 Missouri students will immediately benefit from this lifesaving training. “The American Heart Association celebrates this important victory and we thank the many survivors, volunteers and collaborating partners for making this moment possible,” said Jace Smith, Senior Government Relations Director for the American Heart Association in Missouri. “Four of every five out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in private or residential settings. CPR training in schools strengthens the cardiac chain of survival by equipping thousands of civilian bystanders to be ready to respond in an
emergency. Many lives will be saved because of this legislation.” SB 711 was sponsored by Senator Dan Brown. An identical bill, House Bill 1643 (HB 1643), was sponsored by Representative Ron Hicks. Both pieces of legislation experienced broad bipartisan support. SB 711 requires schools to provide students instruction in CPR and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) as part of high school graduation requirements. The training must be administered during a physical education or health class, as part of the Missouri curriculum, allowing schools flexibility in offering the training. The curriculum can be introduced in 30 minutes or less using a ‘practice-while-you-watch’ approach with an inflatable manikin and instructional DVD. The law does not require students to achieve CPR certification, nor is this a “pass/fail” training. The bill simply allows students to understand and become familiar with the basics. For one key legislative proponent, the effort was especially personal. Representative Ron Hicks used his own CPR training to save the life of a Missourian who collapsed during a visit to the Missouri State Capitol in 2014. As a result of that incredible experience, Rep-
resentative Hicks vowed to see the law passed during his time of public service and worked diligently to help make it happen. “I have two children and know that children are our future,” said Representative Hicks. “We teach skills in the classroom to help students be successful in life. This legislation provides an opportunity to do something very special: to equip students with a tool that protects life and impacts generations to come. That’s why this legislation is so important to me.” Why Learn CPR? Cardiac arrest – an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain, lungs and other organs – is a leading cause of death. Each year, more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby. Almost 90% of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die. CPR, especially if performed in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival. Be the Difference for Someone You Love: If you are called on to give CPR in an emergency, you
will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love: a child, a spouse, a parent or a friend. Seventy percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. Unfortunately, only about 46% of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest get the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives. How To Give Hands-Only CPR: If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 9-11 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of the classic disco song “Stayin’ Alive.” CPR can more than double a person’s chances of survival, and “Stayin’ Alive” has the right beat for Hands-Only CPR. Hands-Only CPR Can Save Lives: Most people who experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location die because they don’t receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. As a bystander, don’t be afraid. Your actions can only help. When calling 9-1-1, you will be asked for your location. Be specific, especially if you’re calling from a mobile phone, as that is not associated with a fixed address. Answering the dispatcher’s questions will not delay the arrival of help.

during pregnancy. There is not currently a vaccine for Zika virus. The best prevention measure is to avoid mosquito bites in areas with ongoing transmission. There have been no reported cases of Zika virus contracted from a mosquito bite in Missouri. Ways to avoid mosquito bites while outdoors include wearing EPA-registered insect repellent with DEET, wearing pants and long sleeves, or remaining indoors in an air conditioned environment. The CDC is recommending pregnant women avoid traveling to Zika-affected areas which include countries ranging from Mexico into the Caribbean, Central American and South America. Since the beginning of the year, DHSS has regularly updated health care providers and the public about Zika virus in addition to coordinating the approval of Missourians for testing.

(Shelly) Howell passed away February 1, 2016. We met in Spokane, Washington in 1973 and tied the knot on April 12, 1974. After military service we relocated in Terre Haute, Indiana where we lived until 1977 and moved to Chewelah, Washington and lived there for 24 years. After that we lived in Anderson, Indiana and now in Surprise, Arizona since 2004. After giving up trying to have a kid we were blessed with a son, Jordan Robert Petty in 1991. God decided to bless us and man what a wonderful man, but never having kids for 17 years and then along came the blessing, we quickly learned what it was like to raise a child! “Z” decided during the raising of our son to complete cosmetology school and eventually shared a business called “Three’s Company”
Larry Dean Barton of Salem, MO was a born December 19, 1958 in Coos Bay, Oregon and passed away June 12, 2016 at Missouri Baptist Hospital in St. Louis, MO at the age of 57 years. Larry faced numerous struggles during his earthly walk, deafness since birth being one. Larry graduated from MO School for the Deaf / Kansas City, MO in 1997, lettering in football and received a special diploma in Graphic Art Design. He obtained completion of Drafting Design at Rolla Technical Institute. Larry completed Water Quality Monitoring Workshop and served as a volunteer as well as a member of the Missouri Stream Team. He was very active in the Missouri Deaf Bass Anglers Association as well as the National Bass Association for the Deaf. He was an avid fisherman. Larry was devoted to studying and embracing Native American culture in his life and was a card carrying
member of “Western Cherokee”. He made medicine pouches, did beadwork by hand, as well as making birdhouses and hand tied fishing lures. He was a hard worker and had a tender heart for others. He had a quick wit and quirky personality which many never saw. When he was young he stood at the juke box putting in one quarter after another playing Glen Campbell songs. When asked if he could hear the songs, he grinned and said no but I like his hair and did a little jig. Another time he ordered a chocolate ice cream cone at a local drive in and when the server handed him vanilla, he grinned and said “I told you chocolate, what is the matter are you deaf?”. He took being deaf in stride although it presented him with many challenges. Preceding him in death, his father, James Shelby Barton and his mother, Mary Jo Smith Barton Powell. He is survived by siblings Peg-
in Chewelah, Washington. She leaves behind her loving husband, Danny Lee Petty of Surprise, Arizona and one son, Jordan Robert Petty of Surprise, Arizona. Her mother, Sylvia J. Howell of Sun City, Arizona; one sister, Cindy Moore of Kennewick, Washington; many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and some of the most wonderful friends she has made over the years! She will be missed dearly by us all! I have lost my friend, lover, boss, decorator, confidante and mother of our child to a home in Heaven where she is no longer in pain and watching over us all! We loved you so much! A Celebration of “Z’s” Life will be held on Saturday, June 25 at 3 p.m. at The Angel Garden Event Center located at 116 North Elm Street in Mtn. View, MO.

Missouri frogging season begins June 30 at sunset MDC reminds folks to frog with either fishing or small-game hunting permit, unless exempt The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages Missourians to discover nature this summer -- and one fun and exciting way is through frogging. Frogging season begins June 30 at sunset and ends Oct. 31. Missouri has two frog species that are legal game — bullfrog and green frog. Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after. The daily limit is eight frogs of both species com-
bined and the possession limit is 16 frogs of both species combined. Only the daily limit may be possessed on the waters or banks thereof where limits apply. Daily limits end at midnight so froggers who catch their daily limits before midnight and then want to return for more frogging after midnight must remove the daily limit of previously caught frogs from the waters or banks before returning for
more. Frogging can be done with either a fishing permit or a small-game hunting permit. Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents 65 years of age or older are not required to have a permit. Those with a fishing permit may take frogs by hand, hand net, atlatl, gig, bow, trotline, throw line, limb line, bank line, jug line, snagging, snaring, grabbing or pole and line. With a
small game hunting permit, frogs may be harvested using a .22-caliber or smaller rimfire rifle or pistol, pellet gun, atlatl, bow, crossbow, or by hand or hand net. The use of an artificial light is permitted when frogging. For more information about frog hunting, including how to get started and tasty recipes to try, visit Frogging can be done with a gig, as shown here, and the MDC online at huntfish. use of artificial light is permitted. Children under the age of mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trap16 are not required to have a permit. (Photo provided to the Standard) ping/species/frog.
Sherri Schwenke, has been selected as the new Forest Supervisor and Michael “Tony” Crump has been selected as the new Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Mark Twain National Forest. Both Schwenke and Crump are expected to arrive on the Mark Twain National Forest by mid-August. Bill Nightingale served as Forest Supervisor for the Mark Twain National Forest for the past four years; and he will retire July 1, after 38 years with the U.S. Forest Service. The Deputy Forest Supervisor position became open in March when Steve Best went to Arizona to serve as the Forest Supervisor for the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Incoming Forest Supervisor Sherri Schwenke: Schwenke’s experience includes more than 25 years of natural resource management. She will be coming to the Mark Twain National Forest from Idaho, where she currently serves as the Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Boise National Forest. This position provided her with a wealth of experience with
leadership of a complex national forest. She has served as a district ranger on two national forests and a staff officer on the national grasslands. She began her career
As a youth, Schwenke attended summer camp in North Carolina where she fell in love with America’s National Forest System while hiking, swimming, and canoeing within the national forests there. Sherri is married and has two sons. Incoming Deputy Forest Supervisor, Tony Crump: Tony Crump currently serves as the Regional Hydrologist for the Forest Service’s Southern Region based in Atlanta, GA. Tony has worked as a district hydrologist in Alabama and as the Forest Hydrologist on the OzarkSt. Francis National Forest in Russellville, AR. While working in northern Arkansas he developed an appreciation
for the Ozark landscape and the small communities with so many stories to tell. He also served in extended details in the Southern Region as the Director of Biological and Physical Resources and Forest Supervisor of the El Yunque National Forest. Tony Crump has made
partnerships a tenant of his work—demonstrated by his role as regional coordinator for the Joint Chief’s Landscape Restoration Projects. He provided program support for the watershed program and natural resources budget process. He is an experienced National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) practitioner and has participated in the Southern Region’s appeals and objection’s process. He also has experience implementing endangered species recovery plans and conducting natural resource damage assessments. His time with the Forest Service has led him to become a SCUBA diver, certified firefighter, and avid spelunker. “I am looking
Crop problems, from resistant weeds to herbicide injury, top the topics for the annual Pest Management Field Day, July 7 at the University of Missouri Bradford Farm, Columbia. Kevin Bradley, MU Extension weed specialist, arranges wagon tours to show research plots, with speakers at each stop. Registration opens at 8 a.m. At 8:30 a.m., Bradley will tell the agenda for the day. Then the wagons roll. After the lunch, individuals can take a guidebook and revisit the hundreds of weed management plots. There’s much more to see than can be covered in the tours, Bradley says. Plots are mapped, with ID signs, for follow-up visits. Often, Bradley adds plots in the spring to show new problems popping up in farmers’ fields. Visitors on the wagon tours are encouraged to ask questions of the scientists. Some stop topics include soybean seed treatment im-
pact on early-season injury, combining pre-plant and residual herbicides with cover crops, and comparison of new herbicide-resistant soybean systems. Bradley tests new products before they are released. He’s noted for his frank analysis of emerging technology. Some topics repeat annually. The crew will go over recommended spraying methods. Managing resistant weeds are regular topics. Guides will point out plots of interest where there are not stops.

Free pressure canner gauge testing The Howell County Extension office offers free Pressure canner gauge testing. The extension office is located at 1376 Bill Virdon Blvd. and open Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is recommended that the gauges be tested every year to ensure accuracy and safety. An inaccurate gauge may prevent reaching the correct temperature for safe canning. If this happens, botu-
linum bacteria can grow and produce a deadly toxin. Just because a jar seals does not guarantee that it is safe; only an accurate pressure gauge can do that. The testing takes less than 15 minutes and it is recommended that you bring in the whole canner so it can also be inspected. If you have any questions, please call the University of Missouri Extension-Howell County at 417-256-2391.

Too much heat, too little rain can change crop picture quickly Crops need up to 1-2.2 inches of rain weekly to grow well. In June, most areas of the state fell far behind. Atchison and Boone counties reported only 0.04 inch and only 0.12 inch fell in Knox County in northeastern Missouri in the first week of June. Carroll County received 0.58 inch of rain; Pemiscot got 1.4 inches and Barton had 1.66 inches. In the second week of June, only Barton County received rain, and it was a meager 0.32 inches. Lack of rainfall and temperatures above 90 degrees in the second week of June raise concerns of possible drought. Corn leaves roll as a defense mechanism to protect
against excessive moisture loss through transpiration. Rolling exposes less leaf surface to the sun’s heat. Lack of water during the time when ear size is developing can spell trouble. Smaller ears with fewer kernels mean lower yields. Missouri residents to submit drought impact reports to the National Drought Mitigation Center.
