Harrisonville man arrested for possession of child pornography Captain Eric T. Olson, director of the Division of Drug and Crime Control, announces the arrest of Dwight A. Davis, 46, of Harrisonville, Missouri, on three counts of possession of child pornography, on June 17, 2015. The arrest was the result of a lengthy investigation conducted by members of the Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Unit and the Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. Davis is being held in the Cass County Jail. The Patrol was assisted by officers of the Cass County Sheriff's Office. The Cass County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office formally charged Davis with the three counts of possession of child pornography and bond was set at $50,000 cash or surety. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is part of the Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The task force is supported through funding made available by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency and administered by Missouri’s Department of Public Safety. The above charges are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of these charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Changes to deer hunting regs to help slow CWD The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is asking deer hunters in 19 central and northeastern Missouri counties to help limit the spread of a deadly deer disease through increased harvest opportunities this fall and winter. The Missouri Conservation Commission recently approved several changes to regulations for the upcoming 2015-16 fall deer hunting season that focus on slowing the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD). Chronic Wasting Disease infects only deer and other members of the deer family by causing degeneration of brain tissue, which slowly leads to death. The disease has no vaccine or cure and is 100-percent fatal. “A primary way CWD is spread is through deer-to-deer contact,” explained MDC State Wildlife Veterinarian Kelly Straka. “Deer gathering and interacting in larger numbers can potentially increase the spread in an area. Young bucks can also potentially spread the disease to new areas as they search for territories and mates.” See MDC on Page 7

Swift water rescue due to flooding Gov. Nixon declares 'State of Emergency'
Water Rescue - U.S. Park Rangers were out in full force as rain waters have caused flooding throughout the State of Missouri. Pictured above, park rangers along with multiple emergency agencies in Shannon County assist in a water rescue. Heavy rain, flooding and flash flooding have impacted numerous areas in Missouri as well as across the nation. On Friday, June 19 the Shannon County Sheriff's Department, Bunker Fire Department, Park Rngers and EMS conducted a swift water rescue. The individual involved was successfully removed from the vehicle without further incident. The Shannon County Sheriff's Department, along with other agencies urges all Missourians to remember, "Do NOT attempt to cross swollen creeks or rivers. Six inches of moving water is enough to cause a vehicle to be swept away with a foot of water being able to 'float' many vehicles. Water hides dips in the road. Worse yet, there may be no road at all under the water.
Flooding can scour away the entire road surface and a significant amount of ground beneath." Missouri Governor Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency in Missouri as heavy rains continue to impact large portions of the state. The heavy rain associated with the severe weather already has led to flooding along many streams and rivers; at least one drowning has been reported in connection with the flooding in Missouri. More heavy rain is expected across the state in the next few days in connection with the remnants of tropical depression Bill. “As significant flooding continues to impact large portions of the state, I have directed state emergency management personnel and
the Missouri State Highway Patrol to take action to assist local communities and protect the public,” Gov. Nixon said. “With more heavy rain in the forecast, we will continue to remain in direct contact with law enforcement and local officials as we work to protect lives and property.” In addition to the Mississippi River, a number of smaller rivers and streams are expected to hit major flood stage including the Meramec River, the Bourbeuse River, the Cuivre River and Dardenne Creek. Thousands of acres used for agriculture, especially along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, are among the areas that have been impacted or are under threat from flooding. The Governor said it includes
some of the most productive farmland in the country. The State Emergency Operations Center has been actively monitoring the storm system, and Gov. Nixon has been receiving updates from his emergency management team to assess the current weather situation and address local needs. The team includes senior officials from the Missouri Department of Public Safety, Missouri National Guard, Missouri State Highway Patrol and the State Emergency Management Agency. The Missouri State Emergency Operations Plan also has been activated, allowing state agencies to coordinate directly with local jurisdictions to provide emergency services. Missourians who need disaster information, shelter information, and referrals are urged to call 211. The 211 service is now available throughout Missouri. Current road closures are posted on the Missouri

West Plains
Grizzly Greenhouse officially open for business
THE GRIZZLY GREENHOUSE on the Missouri State University-West Plains campus officially opened for business Tuesday morning with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house hosted by university officials and the West Plains Area Chamber of Commerce. Over 50 students, faculty, staff and area residents attended the event. The greenhouse, which cost an estimated $110,000 to construct, will provide a teaching laboratory for students enrolled in the university’s agribusiness educational programs developed as part of the $2.5 million U.S. Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Grant Program at the university, officials said. The facility is designed to teach a variety of horticultural techniques, including conventional horticulture, companion plantings, raised beds and aquaculture. With the ribbon are, front row from left, agriculture student Hailey Bunch, West Plains; Student Government Association President Casey Buehler, West Plains; Norm Haining and Carolyn Henry, both of Poplar Bluff, who donated fish tanks for the aquaculture program; Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Dennis Lancaster; agriculture students Kaleb Stolba, Willow Springs, and Cheston Malam, Houston; Assistant Professor of Agriculture Dr. Linda Wulff-Risner; Assistant Professor of Agriculture/Entrepreneurship Cathy Proffitt-Boys; TAACCCT Project Manager Sheila Barton; agriculture student Elizabeth Church, Alton; and greenhouse manager Craig Jennings.

Roy Chaney spends his days logging trees at his business in Birch Tree, but he was seeing green after scratching his way to $100,000 with a Missouri Lottery “Heaps of $500s” Scratchers ticket. Chaney purchased two winning tickets from Main Street Grocery, 4110 Frisco St. in Birch Tree on May 29. “On the first ticket I won $100, and I was feeling pretty good,” he explained. “Then I scratched the second one and saw $100,000. I was tickled to death.” Chaney, 78, surprised his wife with the ticket later that day. He says she was stunned with the windfall. “My wife said, ‘You just about ruined me,’ when she saw how much I won,” Chaney chuckled. Equipment in the logging business can be expensive. Chaney says he will use his winnings to pay off equipment loans and other bills.

Letter to the Editor:
Respect for Our Flag?
The other day as I was crossing our local “strip mall” I took note of Old Glory billowing in the wind … above the corporate symbol of McDonald’s. Now, to be fair this was not the first time I’d bristled at this but, today … today it finally got to me. So, I questioned the appropriateness of it and wondered how it came about … I wondered when a business establishment deemed it proper to have its flag flying with our national symbol; and I wondered what organization, law, or “custom”, gave permission for this intrusion. This is what I discovered: from US Flag Code, United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Patriotic Customs, #176 (i) “The flag should never be used for advertising purpose … Advertising signs should
not be attached to the staff or halyard.” McDonald’s is not a state; it’s not a society, it’s a fast food eatery. Having its presence advertised by attaching a symbol to the halyard that holds our nation’s flag is wrong. It ought not to be done. As an old veteran, as an “old school” American … I still place my hand across my heart when our flag passes by; I still sing our National Anthem, I still get a lump in my throat when I see Old Glory leading the parade; seeing my flag fluttering above McDonald’s arches irritates me. Flying a corporate logo with our national symbol is a blatant mark of disrespect. Yours, Methven Swanson Mountain View, Missouri

Local brewery, Wages Brew Company, crowdfunds start-up Wages Brew Company (WBCo) of West Plains has launched a fundraising drive with a twist as its next step toward opening doors later this year. “Founding Memberships” are being sold to raise $10,000 by July 1 that will enable the fledgling company to access further financing via a small business loan, said owner Phil Wages, who describes this approach as “crowdfunding like Kickstarter, but in person.” Kickstarter is an online fundraising venue in which startups offer a sampling of their offerings to financial “backers” who pledge to contribute donations of a certain amount of money toward a project.

This panel, hand-selected by the president, is tasked with recommending cuts to Medicare without congressional input. If health care spending gets too high, IPAB is charged with deciding which care to prioritize Purple Paint Law and which care to cut. Obamacare gave IPAB unprecedented In the 33rd Senatorial District the outdoors goes handpower with no accountability, no judicial review, and no in-hand with summer. Time spent on the rivers, farms, and transparency requirements. This panel moves America away from a patient-centered hiking are a way of life. This time of year is fun for most, but health care model and replaces it with the views of unelected can be frustrating for landowners, and those who unknowingly bureaucrats. The panel’s recommendations automatically become trespassers. While it has been law since 1993 not everyone knows or become law unless a super majority of Congress agrees to make cuts elsewhere. This process alone raises constitutional understands what the purple paint law is, or why there are questions. Obamacare created a panel to push a one-size-fits- purple-painted markers around private land in the area. Commonly known as "the Purple Paint Law," it allows all solution from Washington, instead of giving you and your doctor the freedom to make these deeply personal decisions. landowners to show their property is a posted "no trespassing" If IPAB cuts Medicare, seniors will have a more difficult area by painting purple vertical stripes on trees and posts. While most think of the purple paint law in terms of hunting, time getting access to care. It is unacceptable to decrease benefits to individuals who have worked so hard and paid it applies year round, and serves as posted no trespassing into Medicare for so long. I am not going to let IPAB ration warning. Trespassing on any private property, posted or not, care, trample the Constitution, and disregard the well-being is illegal. However, trespassing on posted property is a more of America’s seniors. The time to act is now, before the serious offense. The statute says: panel is selected and care is impacted. That’s why I support • Any landowner or renter can post their property with repealing the Independent Payment Advisory Board before purple paint marks. it comes to fruition. • Purple paint marks can be placed on either trees or posts. I am still working toward a full repeal of Obamacare, but • Vertical paint lines must be a minimum of 8 inches long. President Obama will never admit what a complete failure • The bottom edge of the paint mark should be no less than this law has been since its inception. In the meantime, repealing Obama’s Death Panel is a way to protect America’s three feet and no more than five feet from the ground. • Purple paint lines cannot be more than 100 feet apart. seniors. • Posts may be capped or otherwise marked on at least its top 2 inches. • Marked posts should not be placed more than 36 feet apart. • Paint marks must be readily visible to any person approaching the property. The law reads: "Property so posted is to be considered posted for all purposes, and any unauthorized entry onto the property is trespass in the first degree. First-degree trespassing is a Class B misdemeanor." The Purple Paint statute has numerous benefits. It allows property owners to clearly identify the boundaries of their land without the expense and problems of erecting and maintaining fences and signs. The painted marks on trees cannot be easily torn down or vandalized and, thus, have the potential to be an effective property marker for several years. I hope that this summer is a fun, safe and enjoyable one for all, both landowners and land users. Be sure to pay attention and respect others rights to limiting use of their land.

REGULATION CHANGES The regulation changes focus on slowing the spread of the disease in and around counties where CWD has been found. The changes will remove the antler-point restriction so hunters can harvest more young bucks. The changes will also increase the availability of firearms antlerless permits from 1 to 2 to help thin local deer numbers. COUNTIES IMPACTED These regulation changes add to similar measures MDC enacted in 2012 for six counties in northeastern Missouri after CWD was discovered in Linn and Macon counties. Counties affected by those regulation changes were Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph, and Sullivan. The recent regulation changes add five more northeastern counties of Knox, Scotland, Schuyler, Shelby, and Putnam and come after six deer tested positive for CWD this past fall and winter in Adair County. The recent regulation changes also include eight counties in central Missouri and come after a buck harvested in Cole County tested positive for the disease this past winter. Those counties are Boone, Callaway, Cole, Cooper, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, and Osage. “The challenge with CWD is that there is no way to fully eradicate the disease from an area once it has become established,” said Dr. Straka. “While we do not expect shortterm population impacts from the disease, CWD is likely to have serious long-term consequences to the health of Missouri’s deer herd. Therefore, we have and will continue to focus on slowing the spread of the disease among deer in the affected areas, and trying to limit the spread to new areas of the state.” CWD TESTING RESULTS The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that a total of 16 new cases of CWD were found in free-ranging deer through its testing efforts this past fall and winter. Of the 16 new cases, nine were found in Macon County, six in Adair County, and one in Cole County. These 16 new cases bring the total number of Missouri freeranging deer that have tested positive for CWD to 26 overall since the disease was first discovered in the state in 2010. MDC collected more than 3,400 tissue samples for CWD testing from harvested and other free-ranging deer this past fall and winter. The Department has collected more than 43,000 tissue samples since it began testing for the emerging disease in 2001. MDC will continue increased testing efforts this fall and winter in areas where CWD has been found. MDC is also considering regulation changes for the 2016-17 deer season that would require testing of deer harvested during the opening weekend of the fall firearms season in the 19 counties in and around where CWD has been found. DON’T TRANSPORT CARCASSES! Dr. Straka said that hunters can also spread the disease by transporting and improperly disposing of potentially infected deer carcasses. She explained that CWD can be spread through carcass parts that contain brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, or lymph nodes. “To help prevent the spread of diseases, such as CWD, we strongly discourage deer hunters from moving carcasses of harvested deer from the immediate area,” she said. “If possible, remove meat in the field and leave the carcass behind. If it’s necessary to move the carcass before processing, place the remaining carcass parts after processing in trash bags and properly dispose of them through a trash service or landfill.” She added that some parts of a harvested deer are safe to move out of the immediate area. “Items that are safe to transport are meat that is cut and wrapped, or has been boned out,” she explained. “Also safe to transport are quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spine or head attached, hides or capes from which all excess tissue has been removed, antlers including ones attached to skull plates or skulls that have been cleaned of all muscle and brain tissue, and finished taxidermy products.” MDC is considering regulation changes for the 2016-17 deer season that would prohibit the movement of carcass parts from the 19 counties in and around where CWD has been found and prohibit the importation of certain cervid carcass parts into Missouri. AVOID FEEDING DEER Dr. Straka added that MDC strongly discourages hunters and others from feeding or providing salt and minerals to deer. “Feeding and mineral sites can concentrate deer from a broad area and place them in very close proximity to one another,” she explained. “This can increase the transmission of the disease.” A regulation that prohibits the feeding of deer and placement of consumable products -- such as salt and mineral blocks -- that are intended to concentrate deer is already in effect in Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph, and Sullivan counties. MDC is considering a regulation change for the 2016-17 deer season that would expand that regulation to include the 13 additional counties in northeastern and central Missouri in and around where CWD has been found. PUBLIC COMMENTS WELCOME MDC welcomes public comments on the regulation changes under consideration for the 2016-17 deer season. Comment online at mdc.mo.gov/node/6.

Several local students receive degree from Drury University Drury conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters to author and motivational speaker Will Keim, who delivered the keynote address. Keim is the author of Keys to Success in College and
Life and has spoken to more than 2 million students on 1,000 college campuses in all 50 states. He has been an integral part of Drury's first-year student orientation program for more than a decade, providing inspiration
and encouragement to incoming freshmen as they embark on their college journey. Keim commended the graduates on joining the ranks of those with a college degree, and reminded them that only about 7 percent of the world's population has earned such an honor. He also urged graduates to do five things: think analytically, feel empathy for others, have hope for the future, act to help others in need and to love themselves. The last request is not about narcissism, he said, but rather about self-confidence and combating negativity.
"All you need to do is leave Drury University with your degree in one hand and your self-esteem in the other - and look out, world," he said.

How Seniors Can Tame Pet Care Costs Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend to help senior pet owners with their veterinary bills? I have two cats and a dog that are family to me, but their vet bills have become unaffordable. Fix Income Frankie Dear Frankie, The high cost of veterinary care has become a problem for millions of pet owners today, but it can be especially difficult for seniors living on a fixed income. Routine medical care can cost hundreds of dollars, while urgent/specialized treatments and procedures can run into the thousands. But, it is possible to reduce your pet care costs without sacrificing their health. Here are some tips that can help you save. Shop around: If you’re not attached to a particular veterinarian, call some different vet clinics in your area and compare costs. When you call, get price quotes on basic services like annual exams and vaccinations, as well as bigger-ticket items, like to repair a broken leg, so you can compare. Also, check to see if you live near a veterinary medical school (see aavmc.org for a listing). Many schools provide low-cost care provided by students who are overseen by their professors. Ask your vet for help: To help make your vet bills more manageable, see if your vet’s office accepts monthly payments so you don’t have to pay the entire cost up front. Also, find out if your vet offers discounts to senior citizens or reduces fees for annual checkups if you bring in multiple pets. Search for low-cost care: Many municipal and nonprofit animal shelters offer free or low-cost spaying and neutering programs and vaccinations, and some work with local vets who are willing to provide care at reduced prices for low-income and senior pet owners. Call your local shelter or humane society to find out what’s available in your area. Look for financial assistance: There are a number of state and national organizations that provide financial assistance to pet owners in need. To locate these programs, the U.S. Humane Society provides a listing on their website that you can access at humanesociety.org/petfinancialaid. Buy cheaper medicine: Medicine purchased at the vet’s office is usually much more expensive than you can get from a regular pharmacy or online. Instead, get a prescription from your vet (ask for generic is possible) so you can shop for the best price. Most pharmacies such as Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Kmart, Rite Aid and Target fill prescriptions for pets inexpensively, so long as that same drug is also prescribed to humans. And, many pharmacies offer pet discount savings programs too. You can also save by shopping online at one of the VeterinaryVerified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites accredited by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, like 1-800-PetMeds (1800petmeds.com), Drs. Foster & Smith (drsfostersmith.com), KV Supply (kvsupply.com), and PetCareRx (petcarerx.com). Consider pet insurance: If you can afford it, pet insurance is another option worth looking into. You can get a basic policy for under $10 per month, and some insurers provide discounts for insuring multiple pets. See petinsurancereview.com to compare policies. Membership discount plans like Pet Assure (petassure. com) are another way to save, but you’ll need to use a vet in their network. Look for other ways to save: In addition to cutting your veterinary bills, you can also save on pet food and other supplies depending on where you shop. Target, Walmart, Costco and the dollar stores typically offer much lower prices than supermarkets and specialty retailers like Petco and PetSmart. You can also save on treats and toys at sites like coupaw.com and doggyloot.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

OMC offers patients alternative to standard hip replacement surgery Ozarks Medical Center’s (OMC) Surgical Services Department recently purchased a new stateof-the-art surgical table called a HANA table. The HANA table is used for hip replacement surgery. Hip replacement surgery can successfully relieve pain and suffering from degenerative hip arthritis. Historically, the surgery is done on a standard operating room table. The hip joint is replaced surgically from a posterior (back) or lateral (side) approach. The posterior (back) approach is the most common approach used to perform hip replacement surgery and usually requires a two to five day hospital stay after surgery. The HANA table allows orthopaedic surgeons to perform a direct anterior (front) approach to the hip. This approach cuts no muscles and allows very precise copy of the patient’s own hip. Patients have the potential for less pain and a speedier recovery by recreating their hip accurately, cutting no muscles, and dramatically decreasing the size of the incision. Surgery performed on the HANA table typically allows patients to go home one to two days after surgery. The HANA table is a very specialized and advanced piece of surgical equipment that is typically not seen in rural hospitals or even most community hospitals across the country. “OMC’s forward thinking leadership and their choice to make the investment in this new equipment has already been of benefit to the patients undergoing hip surgery via the anterior approach,” said Dr. James Rushford, Orthopaedic Surgeon with OMC’s Orthopaedic Clinic. “Patients

Missouri Frogging season begins June 30 at sunset 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 Tuesday, June 30, at sunset and ends Oct. 31. Frogging can be done with either a fishing permit or a small game permit.
Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents 65 years of age or older are not required to have a permit. The Wildlife Code of Missouri allows those with a
Making quality hay or haylage A lot goes into making high-quality hay. Perhaps the primary way to produce the kind of hay that will give top milk and meat production is to cut the hay at the optimum stage of maturity. Whether it's a cool-season grass, a warm-season grass, wheat hay or a legume crop they all have an ideal time to be cut for peak quality according to Eldon Cole, livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension. For optimum quality, orchardgrass and fescue should be cut in the boot to early head stage. Alfalfa quality usually peaks in the bud to one-tenth bloom stage. Red clover is best cut in the early bloom stage. Small grains are best cut in the boot to the early head stage, like fescue. Peak quality is usually defined as a forage with low neutral detergent (NDF) and low acid detergent fiber (ADF). That typically translates into a hay or haylage with 60 percent or greater total digestible nutrient (TDN) and crude protein (CP) value of 12 to 20 percent or greater. These values are on a dry matter basis. PROPER MOISTURE After cutting the hay, the next critical practice in making hay suitable for a blue-ribbon at a hay show or for hungry animals is to bale it at the proper moisture. Small rectangular bales should be baled ideally at no more than 20 percent moisture. Large hay packages are best baled in the 16 to 18 percent range for dry hay. "Haylage or baleage is growing in popularity in this area and a desired target on moisture is 40 to 60 percent with 50 percent being about ideal. These targets, for both dry and high moisture forage, are sometimes hard to hit," said Cole.

Determining moisture is not an exact science but farmers develop various methods of "getting in the ballpark." Most rely on the feel of the hay as they hold and twist it or kick it. Some new methods are now available to determine moisture more accurately. A basic microwave oven and a small scale that weighs in grams can do the job nicely with high accuracy. Details on the process are available in the "Agriculture Guide Sheet 3151 - Using A Microwave Oven to Determine Moisture In forages" online at http:// extension.missouri.edu/p/ G3151 Dry hay baled with moisture levels above 22 percent lose dry matter due to excessive heating, molding and even in some cases spontaneous combustion is possible. In the latter case, hay barns may even be burned to the ground. A few farmers have invested in hay moisture testers. Prices range from $100 up to $600 or even more. Most feel the testing is reliable and has reduced their moldiness in dry hay. "Moldy hay usually does not cause problems in cattle other than refusal to eat it. Horses are more sensitive
to moldy hay, and only nonmoldy hay should be fed to them," said Cole. Moisture testers appear to be most helpful in determining when to wrap high moisture hay. "Wrap as soon as possible after baling, hopefully within four hours. Be sure to keep the wrapped bale hole free. Even fairly small holes can result in significant moldiness. Other mold problems may arise from inadequate wrapping and delaying wrapping for two or so days," said Cole. Be careful how you move the bales. If holes develop, promptly cover the holes with the special tape. The adage, "easy does it", is especially true when handling plastic-wrapped haylage. "Stored forage is expensive so if you can save losses due to waste from harvest to feeding you'll be money ahead," said Cole.

Livestock antibiotic label changes eliminate over-the-counter availability The Food and Drug Administration released the final rule of the Veterinary Feed Directive on June 2. According to the FDA, this rule is part of an overall strategy to ensure judicious use of feed-grade and water-soluble antibiotics in food-producing animals. “The issue surrounding the use of these antibiotics began several years ago,” said Craig Payne, director of Veterinary Extension and Continuing Education at the University of Missouri. Payne said the FDA established two primary goals. One was to phase out the use of feed-grade and water-soluble antibiotics for production purposes such as improved feed efficiency. The other goal was to move away from over-the-counter availability of antibiotics to more veterinary oversight. The FDA provided guidance for animal health companies on how to make labeling changes. Payne said all companies agreed to make the necessary changes by December 2016. Payne says the biggest difference for producers will be the move from over the counter availability to
veterinary supervision. This means producers will need to have a prescription from their veterinarian before they can obtain these antibiotics in the future. Payne said the prescription for a feed-grade antibiotic is called a Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) and for watersoluble antibiotics it’s called a prescription. In either case, he said a Veterinarian-ClientPatient Relationship (VCPR) must be in place before the veterinarian can legally issue a VFD or prescription. In other words, the producer and veterinarian need to have a
working relationship, and the veterinarian must be familiar with the animals on the operation. Although the changes won’t take full effect until December 2016, Payne encourages producers to begin discussing these changes with their veterinarian. Payne mentioned that extension, the FDA and other groups will also help educate producers about these changes. “Just keep your eyes and ears open for any opportunity to get additional education on this issue,” Payne said.
Pesticide pickup in Mount Vernon The Missouri Department of Natural Resources, in conjunction with the University of Missouri – Southwest Research Center, will provide a free pesticide collection event Saturday, June 20 in Mount Vernon. The collection is open to all Missouri farmers and households and will take unwanted pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, rodenticides, de-wormers, fly tags and fertilizers containing herbicides
or pesticides. Pesticides from businesses, pesticide production facilities, pesticide distributors, pesticide retailers and the like will not be accepted. Also, paint, explosives, fire extinguishers, yard waste, electronics and trash will not be accepted. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the University of Missouri – Southwest Research Center, located at 14548 Highway H in Mount Vernon. The event is the second of five events scheduled for 2015.
fishing permit to 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. Missouri has two frog species that are legal game — bullfrog and green frog. Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after. The taste and texture of frog meat is similar to that of fresh-water fish. For frog leg recipes, visit the MDC website at mdc.mo.gov/ node/15131. The daily limit is eight frogs of both species combined. The possession limit allows you to have no more than 16 frogs at a time. It's important to know once a frog is speared or shot, it must be harvested. The Wildlife Code of Missouri prohibits the release of a speared frog as "wanton

Any frog taken into actual possession, unless immediately released unharmed after being caught, is included in the daily limit. Almost any place with enough water to float a canoe is likely to harbor at least a few frogs. Frogs can be found in farm ponds and huge reservoirs, creeks, drainage ditches and rivers, sloughs, marshes and swamps statewide. For more information on frog hunting
and suggested conservation areas to go frogging visit MDC's website at mdc. mo.gov/node/28859. Conservation makes Missouri a great place to hunt and fish, so grab a gig and visit a pond or simply grab a frog and head to the frying pan before the "frog days" of summer are over.
