Gov. Nixon vetoes two bills defining captive deer as livestock EPA Wants to Regulate Waters of the U.S. This week the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency spent two days in Missouri pushing the agency’s latest attempt to regulate our rural way of life. In the last few years the EPA has attempted to regulate everything from how we meet our energy needs to prohibiting young people from working on the family farm. Just when I thought the EPA could not get any more extreme, now they are trying to place new intrusive and ineffective rules on every body of water in the United States. In April, the EPA announced it would attempt to expand the regulatory reach of the Clean Water Act through a new “Waters of the United States” plan. The proposed new rule would give Washington bureaucrats the power to regulate nearly every area of the ground that gets wet or has water flow during rainfall. The rule could be viewed in a way that would expand the EPA’s reach to cover all ponds, puddles, temporary or small wetlands, irrigation ditches or similar collections of water. While the proposed rule would impact every American, it would have a particularly devastating impact on rural communities. The driving force of our economy in South-Central and Southeast Missouri is agriculture. We grow every major crop in our district other than sugar and citrus fruits. Our farmers and ranchers raise nearly every kind of livestock including beef cattle, dairy cattle, pigs, chickens and even specialty livestock like bison. The EPA’s “Waters of the United States” proposal would force farmers who use fertilizers and pesticides to jump through needless and costly regulatory hoops. Livestock farmers could be forced to put a buffer zone between their animals and any body of water. In an effort to fight the invasive “Waters of the United States” proposal, I had a provision included in the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill that would ban funds from being used to enact the new rule. The House of Representatives passed the appropriations bill with my provision and now the fight will continue in the Unites States Senate. Our Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power of the purse strings. If the EPA continues its war on rural America, I will keep using every possible avenue to protect rural Missouri. As the administrator of the EPA spent a few days in the ShowMe State this week, I hope she spent time listening to the folks who will be impacted by the agency’s regulations. Too often bureaucrats in Washington draft new rules without understanding or appreciating the impact they will have on rural America. As your voice in the House of Representatives, I will continue fighting the “Waters of the United States” proposal and all other Washington regulations that would harm our rural way of life.
Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed two bills that would have redefined the term “livestock” to include captive deer in order to eliminate the role of the Missouri Department of Conservation in regulating whitetailed deer. The Governor said those provisions of Senate Bill 506 and House Bill 1326 would go against longstanding successful conservation practices and also would clearly violate the Missouri Constitution, which gives exclusive authority over game and wildlife resources to the Missouri Conservation Commission. “For more than 75 years, our Department of Conservation has been held up as a model for wildlife management agencies across the country because of its incredible success,” Gov. Nixon said. “Redefining deer as livestock to remove the regulatory role of Department defies both its clear record of achievement as well as common sense. Whitetailed deer are wildlife and also game animals – no matter if they’re roaming free, or enclosed in a fenced area.” In his veto message, the Governor cites the exclusive authority of the Missouri Conservation Commission
provided by the Missouri Constitution under Article IV, Section 40(a). He also said that under the stewardship of the Missouri Department of Conservation, the state’s population of white-tailed deer has grown from fewer than 2,000 in the early 1930s to an estimated 1.3 million today, and that the 500,000 deer hunters contribute $1 billion to Missouri’s economy. “Growing and managing our deer herd and fostering the hunting opportunities that we enjoy takes hard work and sound science, and the Department of Conservation should be commended for employing both to preserve this important part of our heritage, not stripped of its authority to do so in order to protect narrow interests,” the veto message reads. Gov. Nixon noted that “it is unfortunate that the legislature insisted on amending this unconstitutional provision to two pieces of legislation that otherwise contain worthy provisions advancing Missouri agriculture.” The Governor discussed his actions on the two bills at a special meeting today of the Missouri Conservation Commission in Columbia.

Gavin and Ryan were always playing video games. According to Gavin and Ryan, on one of their first days at Missouri State University-West Plains while beginning their degree in the Computer Graphic Design and Programing (CGP), the department head, Jeff Huff told them, ‘You can now tell everyone that
Loans available for energy improvements The Missouri Department of Economic Development announced today it is making available $7.5 million in lowinterest loans to public schools, public/private colleges and universities, local governments, public water and wastewater treatment facilities, and public/private not-for-profit hospitals to complete energyefficiency and renewable energy projects throughout the State of Missouri. The department’s Division of Energy is accepting loan applications from July 1 through October 31, for projects costing between $5,000 and $1.5 million. Loan applications will be evaluated on a competitive basis. If money remains after applications and have been reviewed and prioritized, consideration will be given to loans in excess of $1.5 million. “Energy efficiency is the
best, cleanest and lowest cost resource, and the Energy Loan Program is a real testament to that,” said Lewis Mills, director of the Division of Energy. “Applicants realize significant energy savings that translate into extra capital, which can be redirected to essential services. The awarded projects provide much needed improvements to facilities, encourage the use of green technology, reduce greenhouse gases, and help create jobs and stimulate local economies.” Loans are repaid from energy savings achieved. Loans to public schools and local governments do not count against debt limits or require a public vote or bond issuance. Projects with the quickest payback, based on cost versus anticipated energy cost savings, will receive priority. To apply, visit http:// www.ded.mo.gov/division-
of-energy/financial/energyloan-program. The loans, administered as part of the Energy Loan Program, provide financing for energy-saving investments such as lighting systems, waste heat recovery or combined heat and power systems, renewable energy systems, insulation, heating and cooling systems, and other measures that reduce energy use and cost. Since the program’s inception in 1989, the Division of Energy has awarded more than 538 loans, accounting for nearly $89 million in energyefficiency projects being completed and more than $167 million in estimated cumulative energy savings. For more information about the Energy Loan Program, call toll-free 855-522-2796 or visit http://ded.mo.gov/division-ofenergy/financial/energy-loanprogram.
you never wasted your time playing video games; it has all been research up to this point.’ “I wanted to be the guy creating the games, creating the fun,” Gavin said when asked why he was getting his degree in CGP. In layman’s terms the guys say, “We make the games that kids play on their consoles as well as video game apps and puzzle or adventure games like the ones you play on your phone waiting in line.” They were sent home from class with the assignment to play video games as homework. Huff told them to play several different games, not one single game for too long, but each one just long enough to get the feel of it. Ryan said he was so excited to be playing games as homework! Gavin remembers though, that upon entering the class it was a room full of people wanting to learn how to make video games, but by the end of the year several of the seats where vacant. It wasn’t all playing video games, it was challenging course work. Both Gavin and Ryan are sticking it out and plan to graduate, one this year and one the next. Gavin and Ryan are the founders of Team Tasty Studios, a gaming asset design business. They now have an office located in the Ozarks Small Business Incubator, 408 Washington Avenue West Plains MO, and are taking advantage of the Incubators low cost office space, business mentoring, and vast network of resources to make their lifelong dream into a reality.
Disappointing Veto
This week marked another round of disappointing vetoes from the governor. On Thursday (7-10), he signed 10 pieces of legislation into law and vetoed four, including Senate Bill 694, legislation I sponsored regarding payday loan practices. Senate Bill 694 would modify many aspects of the payday lending law and completely change the industry in our state. This measure will end consumers’ abilities to renew their loan or ask for an extension. An Extended Pay Plan (EPP) will be allowed to help pay off loans. Under the EPP, borrowers have up to 120 days to pay off their loan. The payment plan is based on the consumers’ pay periods and no interest or fees are charged during the EPP. There will be no early payment penalties, but the lender does have right of acceleration upon failure to pay. Only one EPP is allowed in a 12 month period. Under this much-needed legislation, payday lending businesses would have to pay $500 for yearly fees, up from the current $300. These fees would go to the Missouri Division of Finance. The measure also states that signage must be posted in the lobby of such business and display the cost to borrow the money, per $100 borrowed. If we can provide the best information to consumers in a way that they can understand it, then we are already helping them make better financial decisions. This measure moved quickly through the legislative process and was supported widely by the Silver Haired Legislature. The General Assembly will have a chance to override the governor’s veto of this important law when it returns to Jefferson City in mid-September for its annual veto session. Senate Bills 866, 575, 675 and House Bill 1359 were also vetoed on Thursday. Just days before (on Tuesday (7-8) our office was able to celebrate a legislative victory when the governor signed Senate Bill 706 . This legislation drafted in an effort to slow down or stop a new scam that is hitting banks and other small businesses. The scams claim “patent infringement.” Typically the scammers, called “patent trolls,” send out bundles of letters to assorted small businesses claiming they are using their patented software programs. The letters state the recipients only have two choices: (1) the small businesses can pay a fee, or (2) face costly court battles and legal fees. Scammers usually ask for $800-$1200 per employee. This legislation develops a seven-factor testing system that a court can use to determine if there is a legitimate claim on patent infringement or not. If business owners believe that they have been a target of a bad faith assertion of patent infringement after receiving a demand letter, they have a right to a cause of action. Upon a finding by a court that the letter sender has made a bad faith assertion of patent infringement, the court allows the business owner to recover certain damages. My July 4 celebrations started early this year on July 2 with the Alton celebration at Piney Creek Park that included fireworks, live entertainment, and lots of good food and fun. Over the long and exciting July 4th holiday weekend, I was fortunate to be able to attend many other events as well. I enjoyed taking part in the 135th continuous Marshfield Parade on July 4. As usual, it was a well-attended event, with many floats and entries. Events included a rodeo, food, children’s activities and fireworks. In Thayer, the annual Red, White & Blue festival included wonderful foods from the Kansas City Barbeque Society competition that included competitors from Q. Bones BBQ, from Memphis, Tenn., Gettin’ Basted, from Branson, Mo., and more. There were the traditional fireworks on July 4, along with performances by local musicians and wonderful vendors of all kinds. The highlight of the evening, besides the fireworks, was being able to present country music singer Aaron Tippin to the crowd at the Saddle Club Arena. After his concert, Mr. Tippin joined the crowd to watch the fireworks and he even chatted with many of us afterwards! Thayer was a busy town over the long holiday weekend. On Saturday, July 5, the 31st Squires Picnic was held at the Squires Fire Department. The event featured live bandstand music and entertainers including Bluegrass Tradition, Jam Dandy Band, Southern Streak and John Anderson. As usual, the concession stands offered a complete variety of food including burgers, hot dogs, nachos, soda, popcorn, and, of course, homemade ice cream. The event also included a cake walk, with lots of homemade desserts for prizes. (Thank goodness Senate Bill 525, allowing for these items that are prepared in an individual’s home to be sold at this event, was signed!) Fireworks decorated the skies above Thayer again Saturday evening. On July 5 I ended days of celebrating with the Ava independence Day celebration that included trail rides, a petting zoo hay rides and a very large, loud and wonderful fireworks display. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol, however during interim I may be in district. 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.

Alternative Lodging Options for Retirees Who Travel Dear Savvy Senior, Since retiring, my husband and I love to travel but hotel costs eat up our budget so fast we can’t stay as long, or go as often as we’d like to. I’ve heard that there are alternative lodging options like short-term apartment rentals or even house sitting that offer a much cheaper way to travel. How can we find these? Retired Travelers Dear Travelers, If you’re willing to do a little research and preplanning, there are a number of ways you can lower (or eliminate) your travel-lodging costs and live more like a local when you travel. Here are some different options to consider and some resources that can help you locate them. Apartment/House Rentals: There are literally hundreds of thousands of privately owned properties in the United States and abroad that are offered as short-term vacation rentals. This has become a very popular alternative to hotels, for retirees. Renting a fully furnished apartment or house is usually significantly cheaper than hotel rooms of comparable quality, and they almost always offer more space, a homier feel and a kitchen, which can save you the expense eating out every meal. Short-term rentals are offered through the individual property owners or property-management companies. Some of the best sites
for finding them include homeaway.com, airbnb.com, flipkey.com, vrbo.com and wyndhamvacationrentals.com. Most sites are free to use for travelers. You can also look for rentals at any online search engine by typing in your destination city plus short-term apartment/house rentals (for example “New York short-term apartments for rent”). B&B Clubs: If you like staying in bed-and-breakfasts and have a spare bedroom yourself, you should consider the Evergreen Club (evergreenclub.com) or the Affordable Travel Club (affordabletravelclub.net). These are B&B clubs for travelers over ages 50 or 40 that offer inexpensive lodging in the spare bedroom of other club members, or they may stay with you when they’re on the road. You pay a modest gratuity of between $15 and $25 per night, with breakfast. And the clubs charge membership fees of $65 to $80 per year. House Sitting: If you have a flexible schedule and you don’t mind doing a few household chores when you travel, house sitting is another option that offers lodging for free. How it works is you live in someone else’s home while they’re away for a long week-
end or even a few months. And in exchange for the free accommodations, you take care of certain responsibilities such as their pets, lawn, garden, mail, etc. To find these opportunities, try sites like caretaker.org, housecarers.com, housesittersamerica.com and sabbaticalhomes.com – they all charge a small membership fee. Home Swapping: Another way to get free accommodations when you travel is by swapping homes with someone who’s interested in visiting the area where you live. To make a swap, you’ll need to join an online home exchange service where you can list your home, and get access to thousands of other listings. Then you simply email the owners of houses or apartments you’re interested in – or they email you – and you make arrangements. Most home exchange sites like homeexchange.com, homelink.org and intervachomeexchange.com charge membership fees ranging from $39 to $120. 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.

Getting rid of nuisance plants in Missouri ponds, lakes Unwanted aquatic plants are the number-one pond maintenance problem in Missouri. These unwanted plants make their appearance every year with the arrival of warmer temperatures, and continue to annoy pond owners throughout the summer and fall. “A number of water plants are good for a pond or lake. But, when they are growing rampantly they should be controlled,” said Patrick Byers, horticulture specialist, University of Missouri Extension. Water plants have some
very good attributes. Water plants put dissolved oxygen into the water. They provide food for fish or other wildlife. They also provide nesting and breeding habitat for fish and other animals, and they help with erosion control by minimizing wave damage to shorelines. “Water plants also have a downside. Excessive growth of aquatic weeds can interfere with recreational activities, create health hazards, destroy wildlife habitat, cause undesirable odors and kill fish,” said Byers.
The first step to good weed control in a lake or pond is first determining whether you have a problem that needs attention. Second, it is important to identify the problem weed. “The last step is controlling water plants by the careful use of herbicides or various nonchemical methods,” said Byers. Before choosing an herbicide, Byers recommends carefully reading the label to learn which plants can be controlled, and when to apply. Also check for the safety of humans, livestock and fish.
The label is the final authority “Chemical control is not permanent; re-treatment may be necessary, and it can become quite expensive. That is why non-chemical methods are also important to consider,” said Byers. Possible non-chemical methods for water plant control include stocking the pond with grass carp, deepening the pond’s edges, weeding and removing new growth by hand or shading the pond with black plastic to prevent sunlight from reaching the plants. “Another key step is the
elimination of nutrient sources. Runoff from animal manure, septic tank fields and fertilizer encourages weed growth. Keep these nutrient sources away from ponds or divert the runoff and the plant growth should slow down,” said Byers.

Home winemaking workshop July 23
by Marilyn Odneal Horticulture Adviser
Calling all home winemakers! We invite you to attend our upcoming home winemaking workshop. Whether you are just thinking about getting started, or are a seasoned veteran with experience to share, the workshop is designed for all levels of expertise. The workshop is scheduled to be held July 23 beginning at Faurot Hall and will include informal presentations with group participation and equipment displays. Participants will receive selected home winemaking supplies and a home winemaking bulletin. After the educational session, we will tour the Missouri State University winery/
distillery. Lunch will be served and we will have a wine tasting/sensory evaluation session at some point during the day. Dr. Karl Wilker, associate professor of enology and MSU winery/distillery manager, Todd Frye, owner and operator of the Home Brewery in Ozark, as well as the Mountain Grove Cellars staff, will be presenting and demonstrating. A new feature in the workshop is an optional vineyard tour (weather permitting) for those winemakers who may be interested in growing grapes for home winemaking use. Right now the grapes are sizing up and will be undergoing veraison – the beginning of the ripening process – when the grapes begin to turn color (or in the case of white wine
grapes, they begin to become translucent). On the tour, we will discuss berry sampling to determine the best time to harvest grapes for winemaking. This involves collecting a representative berry sample, crushing the berries and extracting the juice, and then testing the juice for sugar, acid and pH levels. These three parameters along with cluster integrity, varietal character, and the type of wine you wish to make will determine when the clusters should be picked. Join us at the Missouri State Home Winemaking Workshop to be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (later if you are interested in the vineyard tour) July 23 here at Mountain Grove. Be sure to register by Friday, July 18.
The cost is $40 which includes both lunch and materials. The registration form is available at our website http:/ /mtngrv.missouristate.edu/ m t n g r v c e l l a r s / HomeWinemaking.htm or contact Pam Mayer at PMayer@missouristate.edu or (417) 547-7533. These events are brought to you by the Darr School of Agriculture at Missouri State University as part of our public outreach program. Happy home winemaking.

Farmers Need Your Support by Blake Hurst City councils in Cleveland, Alexandria (Virginia) and Chicago have all recently passed resolutions banning the administration of antibiotics to farm animals, unless they’re sick — the animals, not the city councils. City councils pass resolutions all the time, and I wouldn’t be surprised if each of these distinguished groups has opinions on football team names, investments in the Middle East and global warming as well. It’s much easier to pass resolutions than it is to actually govern. Perhaps when Chicago’s murder rate is lower than rural Missouri’s, when their pension plan is fully funded and when the potholes are fixed, then we might have some interest in their thoughts on the food supply. It seems that the further people get from the farm, the more opinions they have about how food ought to be produced. When your only
connection to the growing of crops and animals is paying the monthly bill to a lawn care company, farming seems pretty darned easy. I’m convinced there are more than a few of our city cousins who unknowingly hire the local yard service to spread a monthly dose of pesticides and chemical fertilizers on their lawns, while at the same time frequenting the organic aisles of their local grocery store. This is why I’m in favor of backyard chickens and community gardens. Spend a little time treating coccidiosis, squish a few horn worms that are eating your tomatoes, watch bacterial blight wipe out the neighborhood tomato crop, perhaps clean up after a weasel (ferret) who has visited your free-range chickens, and city dwellers will perhaps start to understand why farmers do the things they do. Farming is risky, dirty, dangerous, demanding and always comes down to working hard to surmount the challenges
that nature puts in the way of food production. Sure, I understand that we have to work with nature, that we have to protect nature, that the environment is important. But I also understand what army worms can do to a hay crop or root worms to a corn crop. We need to cooperate with the environment, but sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t get the memo about how we should all get along. Sometimes raising a crop is a battle, and it’s always hard. On August 5, voters will have the chance to help ensure our food supply. They’ll have a chance to be part of the annual adventure of raising crops and tending to animals. We’re so very fortunate in America, and particularly Missouri, to have farmers who get up early and stay up late to produce an amazing cornucopia of food, at prices that make it available to everyone. That’s never happened before in history. It is a blessing to everyone who eats, and farmers need your support so we can continue to do what we do. I hope that every citizen of Missouri has a successful gardening year, that those backyard chickens are laying, that the community gardens across the state produce tomatoes that find a home next to some bacon from a Missouri farm. And I hope everyone interested in farming and eating will support Amendment #1.
