Deputy Director Draper will temporarily lead Missouri conservation agency
TOM DRAPER The Missouri Conservation Commission has named Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) Deputy Director Tom Draper as interim director of the state conservation agency effective July 16. The temporary appointment comes after the announcement in early June that MDC Director Robert Ziehmer is stepping down as agency director effective July 15 to continue his conservation career through a new endeavor in the private sector. “The Commission unanimously and enthusiastically supports Interim Director Draper,” said Commission Chairman Dave Murphy. “The Commission is confident in his abilities to continue to advance this agency and its services to meet the needs of Missourians and to protect and promote the fish, forest, and wildlife resources of the Show-MeState.” Draper has served the Department as deputy director of Resource Management and as chairman of the Regulations Committee since 2010. Prior to that, he was a regional supervisor in the Department’s Forestry Division. Draper has been in the conservation field for more than 41 years and brings a wealth of experience that will benefit the agency in his new role. He has worked as a forester for the last 35 years, with 27 of those in Missouri. He has actively engaged with private landowners and focused on public-land management with an emphasis on wildlife habitat establishment, forest management including timber sales, and fire management including wild fire suppression and prescribed fire. He has been married to Diane, a retired teacher, for 38 years and they have three grown children and one grandson. Search criteria and a nationwide recruitment effort for the agency’s director position are being developed by the Conservation Commission.

since January 2007. The urgent need for this type of service is evidenced by the long list of patients waiting for an appointment at the free dental clinic. Missouri Medicare and Medicaid pays for dental services for a very small and limited portion of Missouri Medicare/ Medicaid recipients. Because of this Good Samaritan routinely treats disabled, elderly, and chronically ill patients with severe untreated decay, as well as young adults with multiple abscesses and broken teeth. In many cases their poor oral health has contributed to chronic disease, dysfunction, and low self-esteem. The dental clinics at Good Samaritan are staffed by volunteer dentists and dental assistants, some of which drive over 100 miles to volunteer. Several local dentists have also volunteered their services in the past or continue to participate in periodic clinics. The idea to expand the dental office at the clinic began when a dental volunteer from Springfield suggested the expansion. The idea took life when Good Samaritan’s administrator heard that The Kitchen Clinic in Springfield was closing. For many years The Kitchen, which continues to operate as a non-profit advocating for the homeless, served as a safety-net provider for uninsured/low-income patients in need of medical & dental services. This aspect of
that ministry was discontinued several months ago. Sheri Noble (administrator at Good Samaritan) took the initiative to contact Rorie Orgeron, CEO of The Kitchen, Inc. to see if they might be interested and willing to donate some of their used dental equipment to GSCC. After Mr. Orgeron took it to The Kitchen Board, Good Samaritan Care Clinic was invited to go to their office to choose from available equipment. GSCC was able to secure several pieces of equipment necessary to even consider an expansion of the clinic’s existing dental office. After the equipment was picked-up, it was placed in storage, and Good Samaritan’s board and staff began the nearly impossible task of trying to figure out how the clinic was going to pay for renovations to double the dental office. Several grant applications to pay for renovations were denied. Then one of the clinic’s long-term volunteer dental assistants discussed the project with her husband (a retired contractor from Mtn. View). With her help & encouragement, he offered to draw up plans, devise a budget, and donate all of his time to the project. Ken and Maxine Horgan of Horgan Builders ended up donating more than 500 hours of service to GSCC and the clinic was able to complete See GSCC on Page 7

Troop G prepares for Independence Day traffic
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that Troop G will be participating in enforcement operations throughout the Independence Day weekend. The objective of these operations is to promote safety and reduce traffic crashes. Throughout the holiday weekend, troopers within Troop G and throughout the state will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). In addition to Operation C.A.R.E., Troop G will also participate in a special enforcement operation during the peak travel periods on Friday, July 1, and Monday, July 4. During this operation, Troop G troopers will be assigned to 20-mile stretches of U.S. Highway 60 to maximize visibility. Enforcement efforts on secondary roads within Troop G will be conducted during the same timeframe. Over the entire holiday weekend, troopers will be targeting all traffic violations and will be especially vigilant to excessive speed, careless and imprudent driving, and aggressive driving violations. Troopers will also be available to help motorists in need of assistance. The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”

Pellet Fuels Institute announces qualification of Smith Flooring into PFI Standards Program The Pellet Fuels Institute today announced the qualification of pellet fuel manufacturer Smith Flooring of Mountain View, Missouri, into the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI) Standards Program. The PFI Standards Program is a third-party accreditation program providing specifications for residential and commercial-grade pellet fuel, now representing fifteen pellet manufacturing companies, among them 24 facilities. “We welcome Smith Flooring into the PFI Standards Program,” said Stephen Faehner, Chairman of the PFI Board of Directors. “Pellet fuels from qualified manufacturers are more easily accessible than ever. To identify pellets from a qualified producer, all someone has to do is look for the PFI Quality Mark on the bag. Many retailers look for the Quality Mark when making decisions on which pellet fuel brands to purchase.

The PFI Quality Mark on our bags tells our customers that our pellets can be depended on to perform well in their stoves time after time.” In qualifying for the Standards Program, Smith Flooring joins companies across the country with previously qualified facilities: New England Wood Pellet, Curran Renewable Energy, American Wood Fibers, Lignetics Inc., Marth Peshtigo Pellet Co., Forest Energy Corp., Indeck Ladysmith, Energex, Spearfish Pellet Co., Michigan Wood Fuels LLC, Trae Fuels Ltd., Somerset Pellet Fuel, NWP Jasper and Georgia Biomass.

pellet bags, signifying their qualification to the program requirements. This quality mark demonstrates to consumers that the product comes from a facility that submits its product to regular third party audits by an independent accredited auditing agency and testing laboratory. Random audits are regularly performed at production facilities to ensure qualified companies are following a quality control program. Wood pellets are tested according to the program specifications, also on
a monthly basis. By taking these steps, participants ensure that their pellet quality remains consistent. Smith Flooring was qualified by accredited auditing agency Timber Products Inspection. For information on qualifying for the program, the first step is to contact an accredited auditing agency, a list of which can be find onPFI’s website.

Being Thankful for Our Country’s Freedom With the Fourth of July just around the corner, I wanted to take a moment this week to reflect on the history of our great nation and those who have fought throughout the centuries to build and preserve it. Independence Day has been an official federal holiday since 1941, though the very first Fourth of July was celebrated in 1776 when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, officially establishing American sovereignty. Since that first historic July 4th, Americans across the country have come together to celebrate our unique way of life, our pride as a national community and each other through parades, fireworks displays, feasting with neighbors and honoring our brave service men and women who have fought and died for this country’s liberty. The day has always been one of merriment and celebration amongst fellow countrymen – even 240 years ago during the first Independence Day celebrations. Post-Revolutionary Americans would honor their country on the 4th by holding concerts, bonfires, parades and by firing their cannons and muskets into the air. A public reading of the Declaration of Independence was usually held on these days as well. This is one of my favorite holidays each year, as it embodies the passion we share as fellow Americans for strength, unity and remembrance of sacrifice. Take some time this upcoming holiday to thank the brave service men and women in your families and communities. It is through their service that we are able to enjoy the liberty we often take for granted as citizens of the most wonderful nation in the world. Let them know how much their dedication means to you, and let them know that you love and support them deeply. Above all, have a safe and happy Fourth of July, and please responsibly honor our country this coming week. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.
No Time to Sit
‘Words have meaning’ and ‘actions have consequences,’ those are two sayings or quips that many of us have heard before. However, I can tell you when it comes to the U.S. Constitution and the expected conduct of elected Representatives. I believe these two phrases are absolutely essential to characterizing our form of democracy. Unfortunately, I am ashamed of the events in our nation’s capital this week, when liberal Democrats orchestrated a sit-in on the House floor meant as a publicity stunt to promote their anti-gun agenda and raise money for their party. With the pain of a massacre by a radical Islamic terrorist in Orlando still fresh, these elected officials took to the floor to blame guns, not a terrorist for the horrible events. Their actions are shameful because they disrespect the law-abiding citizens of this country, those who follow the rules, trust in the protections of due process under our constitution, and believe we are ‘one nation under God.’ They believe it is the law-abiding citizens that need to be monitored and fail to acknowledge it is terrorists and specifically, radical Islamic terrorists, that we should focus on stopping. While Democrats orchestrate their political theater on the Floor of the House of Representatives, they are failing to work on any constructive solutions, but I can tell you firsthand their actions have only increased my resolve and utter confidence that the federal bureaucracy under this administration’s leadership is absolutely out of control. So, while liberal Democrats spent the week seeking out cameras and reporters I was working on legislation that would continue to strip spending authority from rogue government agencies. I introduced two bills this week that take power away from the EPA by restricting their ability to impose fines and penalties on hard working farmers, small businesses and families, something we owe to the American taxpayer and something which takes the power of the purse out of the hands of un-elected bureaucrats. Big federal agencies like the IRS and EPA have proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted to spend taxpayer dollars in a way that actually benefits Americans, which is why I have made it a top priority of mine to reestablish the U.S. Constitution’s Article I legislative powers that are clearly granted to Congress, not federal agencies. In fact, my top focus has been to rein-in big government. It started this year with U.S. House passage of my SCRUB Act, a bill that came out of an idea when I learned the Code of Federal Regulations contained an astonishing 175,000 pages and was holding back investment and job creation in this country. My SCRUB Act fights ineffective and intrusive federal regulations that are holding back private sector job creation, hurting farmers and putting the brakes on economic growth in this country. Next, my IRS Owes act passed with bipartisan support in April and would hold the IRS more accountable to taxpayers. I introduced this legislation after I uncovered that the IRS has been abusing their power by secretly increasing fines and penalties on American taxpayers and then using upwards of $500 million in taxpayer generated funds to secretly implement portions of Obamacare against the will of the American public. It is clear that out of control federal government agencies like the IRS cannot be trusted to do what is best for the country, but I only found these atrocities by rolling up my sleeves and digging in, not sitting around. Article I clearly states that all legislative powers are vested in Congress. The founders of our country clearly printed those words because words have meaning and they wanted to prevent the very actions and consequences the Obama Administration is continuing to implement. Luckily, President Obama’s days in office are numbered, 215 to be exact. I will continue to fight against the Obama administration to ensure that the Article I authority is adhered to. The Constitution is not merely a suggestion on how our government is to be operated, rather it is full of words that have meaning and hopefully after the next 215 days we can repair the consequences of the abusive actions of this Administration towards law-abiding Americans.

Each fall, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies migrate from the United States and Canada to overwintering areas in Mexico and California where they wait out the winter until conditions favor a return flight in the spring. The monarch migration is truly one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, yet it is threatened by habitat loss in North America - at the overwintering sites and throughout the spring and summer breeding
range as well. Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. Without milkweeds throughout their spring and summer breeding areas in North America, monarchs would not be able to produce the successive generations that culminate in the migration each fall. Similarly, without nectar from flowers these fall migratory monarch
butterflies would be unable to make their long journey to overwintering grounds in Mexico. The need for host plants for larvae and energy sources for adults applies to all monarch and butterfly populations around the world. To offset the loss of milkweeds and nectar sources we need to create, conserve, and protect milkweed/monarch habitats. We need you to help us and help monarchs by creating “Monarch Waystations” (monarch habitats) in home gardens, at schools, businesses, parks, zoos, nature centers, along roadsides, and on other unused plots of land. Without a major effort to restore milkweeds to as many locations as possible, the monarch population is certain to decline to extremely low levels. By creating and maintaining a Monarch Waystation you are contributing to monarch conservation, an effort that will help assure the preservation of the species and the continuation of the spectacular monarch migration phenomenon.

Area residents invited to explore career pathways at Career Showcase Missouri State University-West Plains will join the Missouri Career Center to host a Career Showcase at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 19, at the Lybyer Technology Center, 605 W. Main St., on the Missouri State-West Plains campus. The event will give area residents who are interested in taking classes this fall or considering a career change the opportunity to explore career pathways and obtain more information about enrollment processes at the university, officials said. “Identifying what you want to do with your life is a process and big decision for all of us. This type of event will help area residents of all ages beyond high school work through that process with guidance from university and state employment officials,” said Dr. Dennis Lancaster, dean of academic affairs. “We’re excited to be able
to offer this opportunity to area residents. It’s new for us, and we’re especially glad to have the support and assistance of the Missouri Job Center and local Workforce Development Board.” “Staff from the Missouri Job Center are excited about the opportunity to participate in the Career Showcase,” added Melissa Robbins, executive director of the South Central Workforce Development Board. “Giving students the chance to learn what it will take to reach their employment goals is an important step in deciding which educational opportunity is right for them to start their career.” Those attending, especially those in occupational transition, will learn about training requirements, area labor market information, available funding and financial assistance options to help plan for future em-
ployment. They will have the opportunity to visit with faculty members and advisers, preview academic programs, apply for admission and reserve a time to schedule classes either through a one-on-one visit with an adviser from the Advisement and Academic Coaching Center for Empowering Student Success (AACCESS) or at an upcoming STudent Advising and Registration (STAR)
Orientation session. Individuals with specific career goals in mind can visit with advisers about the appropriate degree or certificate program required for that career and discuss the timeline needed to complete that program. Those wishing to begin a new career who are unsure or need more information about employability or other labor market information will
have their questions answered, as well. “The Career Showcase will streamline the admission and registration information and processes to a single event, allowing all those interested in attending Missouri State-West Plains to optimize the time spent on these preliminary processes,” said Dr. Angela Totty, dean of student services.

Officials with Missouri State University’s Outreach Program and the Department of Counseling, Leadership and Special Education in Springfield will offer a new cohort for the Master of Science in Counseling degree in spring 2017 at Missouri State-West Plains, provided enough students apply. At least eight students must apply by Oct. 1 and be accepted into the program after an admissions interview on the Springfield campus for the cohort to begin, officials said. Because of the lengthy admissions process, officials said those interested should begin that process as soon as possible. “The admission process involves completing either the GRE or MAT exam in Springfield, as well as the graduate college application and the departmental appli-
cation. Students also must provide references,” said Deanna Smith, coordinator of Missouri State Outreach’s program on the West Plains campus. “It is very important to start the admission process early. Students admitted to the program will be able to earn the Master of Science in Counseling degree with an emphasis in the area of elementary or secondary education, which is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), officials said. Students will be able to complete the entire degree on the West Plains campus in Gohn Hall utilizing evening, faceto-face, blended/online and interactive television (ITV) classes, they added. “The past success of the Master of Science in Coun-
seling program offered at Missouri State-West Plains definitely proves the need for future cohorts to be offered locally,” Smith said. “Since courses for the counseling program begin in spring 2007, local residents have had the ability to pursue this degree close to home and obtain jobs that meet the growing demand for area counselors, both in schools and in private agencies.” Area residents interested in participating in the new cohort will need to meet all admission requirements by Oct. 1. Due to this early deadline, those interested should contact Smith as soon as possible at 417-255-7777 or DeannaSmith@MissouriState.edu for detailed information concerning these requirements in order to have enough time to meet the deadline.

Divorced Widow Dear Divorced, If your ex-husband worked and paid Social Security taxes, both you and your kids may very well be eligible for survivor benefits, but you need to act quickly because benefits are generally retroactive only up to six months. Here’s what you should know. Under Social Security law, when a person who has worked and paid Social Security taxes dies, certain members of that person’s family may be eligible for survivor benefits including spouses, former spouses and dependents. Here’s a breakdown of who may be eligible. Widow(er)’s and divorced widow(er)’s: Surviving spouses are eligible to collect a monthly survivor benefit as early as age 60 (50 if disabled). Divorced surviving spouses are also eligible at this same age, if you were married at least 10 years and did not remarry before age 60 (50 if disabled), unless the marriage ends. How much you’ll receive will depend on how much money (earnings that were subject to Social Security taxes) your spouse or ex-spouse made over their lifetime, and the age in which you apply for survivors benefits. If you wait until your full retirement age (which is 66 for people born in 1945-1956 and will gradually increase to age 67 for people born in 1962 or later), you’ll receive 100 of your deceased spouses or ex-spouses benefit amount. But if you apply between age 60 and your full retirement age, your benefit will be somewhere between 71.5 – 99 percent of their benefit. To find out what percentage you can get under full retirement age visit ssa.gov/survivorplan/survivorchartred.htm. There is, however, one exception. Surviving spouses and ex-spouses that are caring for a child (or children) of the deceased worker, and they are under age 16 or disabled, are eligible to receive 75 percent of the worker’s benefit amount at any age. Unmarried children: Surviving unmarried children under age 18, or up to age 19 if they’re still attending high school, are eligible for survivor benefits too. Benefits can also be paid to children at any age if they were disabled before age 22 and remain disabled. Both biological and adoptive children are eligible, as well as kids born out of wedlock. Dependent stepchildren and grandchildren may also qualify. Children’s benefits are 75 percent of the workers benefit. Dependent parents: Benefits can also be paid to dependent parent(s) who are age 62 and older. For parents to qualify as dependents, the deceased worker would have had to provide at least one-half of the parent’s financial support. But be aware that Social Security has limits on how much a family can receive in monthly survivors benefits – usually 150 to 180 percent of the workers benefit. You also need to know that in addition to survivor benefits, surviving spouses or children are also eligible to receive a one-time death benefit of $255. Maximizing Strategies Social Security also provides surviving spouses and ex-spouses some nice strategies that can help boost your benefits. For example, you could take a reduced survivor benefit at age 60, and could switch to your own retirement benefit based on your earnings – between 62 and 70 – if it offers a higher payment. Or, if you’re already receiving retirement benefits on your work record, you could switch to survivors benefits if it offers a higher payment. You cannot, however, receive both benefits. You also need to know that if you collect a survivor benefit while working, and are under full retirement age, your benefits may be reduced depending on your earnings.

Upcoming blood drive with CBCO The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) has issued a CODE YELLOW ALERT for O Positive and O Negative blood types. A Code Yellow Alert means that there is less than a two-day supply of blood for patient use at area hospitals. Donors are urged to give this week at an area blood drive or CBCO donor center. During the months of June and July, every participant at any CBCO blood drive will receive a free t-shirt with a great message. The shirts are a great way of saying thank you for the incredible job that blood donors do here in the Ozarks. Donors to Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) provide all of the blood for patients at 39 area hospitals. On average, a transfusion takes place every seven minutes. It takes around 200 donations each day to meet the area’s blood needs. You can help by giving blood at: The Mtn. View Community Center, located at 125 West 1st Street in Mtn. View. The drive will be held on Friday, July 8 from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID. For more information about sharing your good health with others, please visit our website at www.cbco.org, or call toll-free 1-800280-5337. Thank you for giving life to your community.
Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) M.A.S.H. (Medical and Science Health) Camp was held recently. This three-day hands-on day camp was open to students entering the 10th thru 12th grades. Instructors included health professionals, health educators, and other faculty from OMC. Camp goals were to generate interest in science and healthcare careers, involve students in a hands-on learning experience, and expose students to the variety of healthcare careers available. Students learned how to perform intramuscular injections and take vital signs. Other hands-on activities included casting and splinting, blood typing, and dissecting. Students were given the opportunity to job shadow with professionals throughout the hospital and clinics. A Heartsaver CPR class was also offered. For more information about M.A.S.H. Camp, contact the OMC Education Department at 417-257-6793.

Death Notices
Hazel Lucile (Price) Grant Hazel Lucile (Price) Grant of Willow Springs, Missouri was born January 21, 1933 to Samuel Demerick Price and Ola Mae (Bird ) Price at Bartlett, Missouri and departed this life at home, in the presence of her family, on June 24, 2016 at the age of 83. She met the love of her life Donald Galen Grant of Willow Springs at the age of 15. The age of 17 found her graduating from Winona High school where she graduated with top honors. At this time Don was working at Bendix Corporation in South Bend, Indiana. He arrived for the graduation with thoughts of simply attending Hazel’s graduation. Unbeknownst to Don, Hazel and her sister, Eula, had other plans. On the pretense of spending a nice summer day picnicking, Don and Hazel, along with Eula and her boyfriend, went to Arkansas. Hazel and Eula had contrived a plan for Don and Hazel to elope. They had to persuade Don to go along with the plan, because he was hesitant at first since Hazel’s wedding ring was in South Bend. They arrived at Salem, Arkansas where they found a minister to perform the ceremony. It was easy to keep the marriage a secret. It did not look odd for them to be traveling together to South Bend the next day since Hazel was expected to accompany Don to South Bend to live with her sister Goldie in order to seek employment. Instead of going to Goldie’s they would travel to their first home together. Once arriving at their home she wrote letters to their parents telling them of their marriage. While in Indiana, Donna and David were born. The family of four moved to Willow Springs, Missouri 1955. In 1957 they became a family of 5 with the birth of Debbie. Hazel was a faithful wife, mother, and homemaker which was the foundation, to which, she added many other vocations. While her children were young she was active in the family business of hauling milk from dairy
farmers to the processing plant by driving one of the trucks. This was no easy task because all three children who were under the age of six accompanied either Don or Hazel in their respective trucks. As the children grew older she took factory jobs to supplement the family income as the milk business was declining. Her first position was in Eminence, Mo but she soon moved to Conway Winter Shoe at Willow Springs when a position as a leather skiver came open. She continued in this position until the declining health of her mother-in- law, Stella Grant, made Stella unable to continue living alone. For two years Hazel continued to work at the shoe factory as well as care for Stella’s needs. Stella’s continually declining health necessitated 24 hour care. Hazel saw this need, quit her job, and stepped into the role of 24 hour caregiver. She continued in this role for the next five years as well as being a wife, mother and homemaker until Stella’s death. At this time it was back to Don and Hazel until his death in 2009. Hazel was raised in a loving home but as a young child no one had been introduced to Christ. The first one in the family to come to know Christ as their personal savior was Goldie the oldest of the nine children. Goldie then proceeded to witness to her family and eventually all accepted Christ including Hazel during her teen years. The influence of missionaries John Allen and Neal Jantz gave Hazel a lifelong love of missions and a passion for helping others. While living in Indiana Don and Hazel were very active with Youth for Christ as well as active in their local church. After moving to Missouri they were helpful in establishing small churches as well as being active in their own church. Hazel served as the missionary chairman in the Nazarene church in Eminence where she made missionary lives come to life through the lessons she taught. In later years she
was actively involved in the Women’s Missionary Union in the Baptist churches she attended. This passion for helping others and missions was a legacy her children continue today. She was not only involved with missions through her church but she enjoyed helping others on a local level such as carrying food to those in need. During her years at the shoe factory, she sewed children’s shirts which she provided to her fellow factory workers for a very affordable price. In retirement she began sharing her love for stuffed animals, especially bears, by providing a stuffed bear for every child who came in through the doors of the Agape House. Hazel rose early every morning to spend time with her Lord. As she did her daily Bible reading there was always a cup of coffee and a piece of toast at her side. On a personal level Hazel had several interests. She enthusiastically grew flowers inside as well as outside her home. She sewed clothing in her younger years and quilts in her later years as well as other miscellaneous sewing projects. She celebrated birthdays of family members and friends by baking them a homemade pie. She was preceded into heaven by her parents, husband Don, two brothers, and two sisters. She is survived by her three children Donna, David and Debbie and their spouses David Viers, Janice Grant, and Richard Cadanau. She is also survived by four sisters Lorene Kolbe, Eula Reese, Christine Haynes, and Joyce Whitworth along with grandchildren, great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at Yarber Mortuary, Willow Springs, Missouri with Mr. Paul Majors officiating. Burial will be in Epps Cemetery near Pomona, Missouri. Memorial contributions may be made to The Gideons International. Condolences may be expressed at www.yarbermortuary.com

Commission approves hog-hunting ban on MDC lands At its meeting on June 24, the Missouri Conservation Commission approved changes to the Wildlife Code of Missouri that would prohibit the hunting of feral hogs on conservation areas and other lands owned, leased, or managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). The new regulation prohibiting hog hunting on MDC areas does not apply to private property. The Commission’s decision followed consideration of feedback received during a public comment period on the topic that ended in May. The effective date of the regulation change will be Sept. 30. Potential penalties for illegal hog hunting could include fines and the loss of hunting privileges. MDC discourages feral hog hunting in Missouri. Research from other states shows that hog hunting increases feral hog numbers and locations because it provides incentives for illegal releases of hogs for future hunting. Releasing hogs to non-enclosed areas or to the wild is illegal in Missouri. MDC encourages the public to report these types of illegal activities to local conservation agents. Instead of hunting hogs to help reduce their numbers, MDC encourages hunters and others to report feral-hog sightings to their local conservation agents or MDC offices. Staff can then confirm local numbers and locations, and determine how best to capture and eliminate the entire group of
feral hogs. MDC owns or manages about 1,000 conservation areas around the state with about 30 known to have feral hogs, mostly in southern Missouri. According to MDC Wildlife Division Chief Jason Sumners, hog hunting on conservation areas interferes with efforts by MDC staff to trap and eliminate entire groups of feral hogs, called sounders. “The regulation change prohibiting hog hunting on conservation lands is a direct result of some misguided individuals disrupting trapping efforts by MDC staff,” Sumners explained. “MDC staff set large, corral-type traps on areas where there are known feral hogs. They then bait the area with corn for several days or weeks to attract the targeted group of hogs, get them used to the surroundings, and get them concentrated in the trap before triggering it. This work takes weeks, with the goal being to trap the entire group of hogs. After weeks of work to catch the sounder of hogs, we then get an individual who finds out about the site, shows up at some point, and shoots a hog or two. The rest of the group then scatters and moves to a new location. As a result, weeks of work have been wasted and new areas now have feral hogs.” Feral hogs are an invasive, nuisance species in Missouri and are not wildlife. They cause significant damage to wildlife habitats, compete with
native wildlife such as deer and turkey for food, prey upon native wildlife such as turkey and quail, destroy natural areas along with agricultural lands, pollute ponds and streams, and spread diseases to domestic livestock and people. For more information on feral hogs, visit the MDC website at mdc. mo.gov/feralhog
Time to scout for Ergot Wet, cool weather followed by high heat and humidity create ideal conditions for ergot growth. Ergot (Claviceps purpurea) is an airborne fungus that affects grass seed heads. Farmers should scout their fields and pastures for this disease. When livestock consume ergot they appeared to suffer from extreme heat stress. Cattle may seek relief in shade or stand in water. Other symptoms might include rapid breathing, sloughing of the switches of tails and tips of ears, abortion, and decreased milk production. Livestock deaths may also result when large quantities are consumed. If ergot is observed, producers should immediately move livestock from infected fields. Producers may also consider feeding other sources of feed to dilute the amount of ergot that is consumed. Farmers should also inspect hay for ergot bodies. If the hay is infested it can be destroyed or diluted with other feeds.
