Three Colorado men plead guilty to illegally trafficking in paddlefish Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that three Colorado men pleaded guilty in federal court today to illegally trafficking in paddlefish caviar after being caught in an undercover operation in the Warsaw, Mo., area. In support of Missouri’s paddlefish conservation efforts, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Missouri Department of Conservation conducted a covert investigation, “Operation Roadhouse,” centered on an area known as the Roadhouse in Warsaw. As part of the covert operation, state and federal officers operated a paddlefish snagging business. Covert officers also sold paddlefish to people who were interested in buying them. “Federal law protects our natural resources, such as Missouri’s paddlefish, which have been over-fished until their population has suffered a steep decline,” Dickinson said. “We take seriously the environmental protections provided by federal and state laws, and will investigate and prosecute those who violate them.” “The American paddlefish is an important cultural and sport-fishing resource to the people of Missouri. This investigation reaffirms our commitment to work with our state wildlife law enforcement partners to protect our nation's wildlife resources and hold violators accountable for their actions,” said Edward Grace, Deputy Chief for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Office of Law Enforcement. “We appreciated the support and partnership of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Department of Justice’s Environmental Crimes Section in helping to protect Missouri’s natural resources,” said Missouri Department of Conservation Protection Chief Larry Yamnitz. Arkadiy Lvovskiy, 54, of Aurora, Colo., and Dmitri Elitchev, 49, of Centennial, Colo., pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Matt J. Whitworth to participating in a conspiracy to illegally traffic in paddlefish and paddlefish eggs in violation of the Lacey Act. Artour Magdessian, 48, of Lone Tree, Colo., pleaded guilty to trafficking in paddlefish and paddlefish eggs in violation of the Lacey Act. By pleading guilty today, Lvovskiy and Elitchev See MDC on Page 2

admitted that in April 2011 they traveled to Warsaw, where they illegally purchased five female paddlefish and a container of paddlefish eggs. They processed the eggs from all of those paddlefish into caviar and transported them from Missouri to Colorado. Lvovskiy and Elitchev further admitted that they returned to Warsaw, in March 2012 and purchased eight more female paddlefish. As they had in 2011, they processed the eggs into caviar and transported them from Missouri to Colorado. Lvovskiy, Elitchev, and Magdessian further admitted that they traveled to Warsaw in April 2012 with co-defendant
Wednesday, July 22, 2015
From Page One Felix Baravik, 50, of Aurora, Colo. While in Warsaw, the men befriended covert Fish and Wildlife Service agents who were posing as fishermen staying in the same area. The defendants purchased two female paddlefish from the covert agents. The defendants also purchased three more female paddlefish from other sources and harvested paddlefish in excess of the Missouri take and possession limits. The defendants processed the eggs from all of those paddlefish into caviar and transported them from Missouri to Colorado. The retail value of the paddlefish caviar at issue in this
case is estimated to be between $30,000 and $50,000. Baravik pleaded guilty on Aug. 19, 2014, to illegally trafficking in paddlefish in violation of the Lacey Act. Under federal statutes, Lvovskiy, Elitchev and Magdessian are each subject to a sentence of up to five years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000. Sentencing hearings will be scheduled after the completion of presentence investigations by the United States Probation Office. The Lacey Act The Lacey Act is a federal statute which makes it unlawful for any person to import, export,
transport, sell, receive, acquire or purchase fish that were taken, possessed, transported or sold in violation of any law or regulation of any state, or to attempt to do so. Such conduct constitutes a felony crime if the defendant knowingly engaged in conduct involving the purchase or sale, offer to purchase or sell, or intent to purchase or sell, fish with a market value in excess of $350, knowing that the fish were taken, possessed, transported or sold in violation of, or in a manner unlawful under, a law or regulation of any state. Paddlefish Trafficking The American paddlefish (Polydon spathula), also called
the Mississippi paddlefish or the “spoonbill,” is a freshwater fish that is primarily found in the Mississippi River drainage system. Paddlefish eggs are marketed as caviar. Paddlefish were once common in waters throughout the Midwest. However, the global decline in other caviar sources, such as sturgeon, has led to an increased demand for paddlefish caviar. This increased demand has led to over-fishing of paddlefish, and consequent decline of the paddlefish population. Missouri law prohibits the transportation of paddlefish eggs which have been removed or extracted from a paddlefish carcass. Missouri law also
prohibits the sale or purchase, or offer of sale or purchase, of paddlefish eggs. There are also several restrictions on the purchase and possession of whole paddlefish in Missouri. This case is being prosecuted by Senior Trial Attorney James B. Nelson of the Department of Justice’s Environmental Crimes Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lawrence E. Miller of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri. It was investigated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Missouri Department of Conservation, with assistance by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

'Yikes, Bikes' to be featured at WP Civic Center West Plains Council on the Arts invites everyone to view a distinctive collection of artwork by local photographer Dennis Crider in his exhibition titled “Yikes, Bikes”, photos of bicycles and bicycle parts at the Gallery at the Center, West Plains Civic Center from August 3-30, 2015. The Gallery, on the mezzanine, is open to the public during regular Civic Center hours. One of Dennis Crider's earliest memories was a bicycle wreck he had when he was about four years old. This occurred on a quiet street in his hometown of
Wichita, Kansas. As he recalls, he was a couple of blocks from his house, wearing no helmet, when the wheels failed to get over an uneven portion of the street near the curb. Over he went and cracked his head on the concrete. Crider says, “It was the first time I actually saw stars just like cartoonists depict in the comic strips.” About nine years after the skull-crushing incident, he was riding to Hamilton Junior High in Wichita alongside a childhood friend when his second accident occurred. He was chatting with his buddy while looking
to the left when he crashed into a parked car. Over the top of the bicycle he went onto the car's trunk. That one hurt too. A few years later his daredevil instincts took over when he attempted to ride over a couple of large boulders and take a leap into a sinkhole. Needless to say, the bicycle did not make a safe landing, but Dennis managed to shake it off without much injury. Bicycles have always been an interest to Dennis, but not as serious as his love for photography, which brings us up to date. "Yikes, Bikes" shows various types of bicycles, from antiques to modern models, and the photographic techniques that were used show an evolution from antique to modern day styles. This collection includes bicycles in and around West Plains, as well as Cabool, Nixa, Springfield, and in the states of Arkansas, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado and Illinois. Yikes, Bikes - This chalky sidewalk-look shot Crider’s final note, “Words was taken in Springfield at an art-deco shop and was of advice to all you bicycle processed with the Topaz Labs Impression filter in the riders out there. Always wear Photoshop CS-3 program. a helmet, always look where you are going, and never try to
leap over boulders. I hope you enjoy the exhibit.” WPCA will host a Meet-theArtists Reception on Saturday, August 15, from 12-2 p.m., in the Gallery at the Center. All are invited to attend, view and discuss these wonderful pieces The exhibit is co-sponsored by the West Plains Civic Center and West Plains Council on the Arts, with partial funding provided by Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
The affected product is typically sold in stores’ ready-to-eat refrigerated cases near the delicatessen. It is packaged in a frosted clear plastic tub with a black plastic lid. The recalled product is labeled as “HyVee American Macaroni Salad” on the lid but “HyVee Dijon Mustard Potato Salad” on the tub. The product is actually Hy-Vee American Macaroni Salad containing milk and wheat (gluten) ingredients, which are not declared on the tub. The recalled product has a best if used date of “7/31/2015” and a production lot code of “15177D” located on the side of the frosted clear tub. Only one product size
and lot are affected by this recall. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. The recall was initiated after the incorrect packaging was discovered during routine product review. Consumers who have purchased Hy-Vee American Macaroni Salad in these mismarked containers are urged to return it to any nearby Hy-Vee store for a full refund.

MV United Methodist Church 'Cans for Van' The Mountain View United Methodist Church established a Cans for Van fund in 2013 with the goal of purchasing and maintaining a van for church use. Thanks to generous individuals and many, many cans that were donated to the fund rather than sent to the landfill, we were able to purchase a van in 2014. We have used the van to take youth to concerts, Vacation Bible School, transporting our SERVE volunteers to their assignments and to pick up those with no transportation on Sundays.
From the beginning of the program, we have supplied a barrel behind our church building, 609 E. 5th Street, Mountain View, for the donations. Harmon Hines has volunteered to monitor the can collection program and take the cans to recyclers. He also collects cans from individuals in the community who have offered to save them for him. He has recently received four more collection barrels. Three have been placed in the following Mountain View locations: one at Richards Supermarket, one at Tri-
County Auto Parts and one at the Mountain View Police Station. Each is identified as a can collection barrel. If you would be willing to use your business as a collection station, please call our church at 934-5033. If no one is in the office, leave a
message and someone will get back with you. Individuals who wish to donate empty aluminum cans to this van fund, please call Harmon Hines at 417247-6114, or the church at 934-5033. All donations are appreciated.

Springfield plant storage tank manufacturer ignores toxic exposure rules, faces $74K in fines A storage tank manufacturer exposed workers to hazardous levels of hexavalent chromium and potentially deafening noise as they welded and grinded stainless steel and other alloy steels. At high levels, hexavalent chromium can cause lung cancer and respiratory, eye and skin damage. U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspectors issued 12 serious safety violations on July 13 to Abec Inc., which manufactures food-grade stainless steel tanks for use by the biopharmaceutical industry. Proposed penalties total $74,000. “Each year, 50,000
workers die from exposure during their careers to hazardous substances, like chromium. Failing to limit exposure to this dangerous substance is inexcusable,” said Barbara Theroit, area director of OSHA’s Kansas City office. “Abec needs to re-evaluate its health and safety procedures. As companies expand, they must review procedures and ensure their facilities are monitored for employee exposure to hazardous materials.” Opened in February, the inspection is part of the agency’s National Emphasis Program for Hexavalent Chromium. Agency inspectors found one employee exposed to
hexavalent chromium at levels exceeding permissible exposure limits while welding and grinding steel containing chromium metal. Alloy steel has chromium added to harden the steel and resist corrosion. Inspectors also found the company failed to implement engineering controls to reduce and monitor exposure levels among workers, and did not conduct additional monitoring after expanding the production process in 2006, 2008 and 2014. The inspection also found three workers exposed to noise levels in excess of the action level for an eighthour shift. The agency also identified violations of OSHA’s respiratory
protection standards and improperly adjusted rests on a grinder, which could expose workers to machinery operating parts. Based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Abec employs about 215 workers at the Springfield facility. Its workforce there has tripled in the past few years. The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

MO Attorney General sues U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to ensure MO farmers receive fair opportunity to obtain crop insurance Attorney General Chris Koster filed a federal lawsuit today against Tom Vilsack, the United States Secretary of Agriculture, seeking to compel the USDA to accept acreage reports from Missouri farmers—a prerequisite for obtaining crop insurance—beyond the normal deadline. Koster alleges in the suit that the farmers’ planting seasons have shifted much later into the summer than normal as a result of the heavy rainfall
Missouri has experienced. As a result, many farmers are unable to meet the deadline USDA set for farmers to file their reports. “Missouri farmers rely on the availability of insurance to guard their crops against events beyond their control,” Koster said. “The USDA should not punish farmers whose planting was delayed by unexpected rain and flooding by enforcing an arbitrary deadline. Millions of dollars in Missouri
agriculture is at risk, and we will fight to make sure these resources are protected.” The USDA requires farmers to report their planted acreage each year by a fixed deadline. For farmers in northwest Missouri, the deadline is July 15. But due to the rainfall over the past two months, which caused flooding so severe that the Governor declared a state of emergency, many farmers were unable to plant their crops in time to get accurate
acreage reports filed, even taking into account the fiveday grace period the USDA normally allows. In the suit, filed in federal court in the Western District of Missouri, Koster argues that extraordinary circumstances posed by the storms and flooding require the USDA to allow a reasonable extension of the normal grace period so that farmers are able to provide accurate acreage reports and qualify for crop insurance.
Captain James W. Remillard, commanding officer of Troop I, Rolla, Missouri, announces that a lengthy covert narcotics investigation by the South Central Drug Task Force has resulted in 21 drug-related warrant arrests in Phelps County. During the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 14, 2015, arrest teams from the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department, Rolla Police Department, St. James Police Department, Phelps County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol worked together to locate and arrest the suspects identified as a result of this investigation.

Reducing Poverty through Employment
In 1970, Ronald Reagan said, "Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence." Now, more than four decades later, we have over 80 federal programs designed to help lower-income Americans, at a cost of $800 billion. These programs do not always incentivize people to become independent through work. Instead, in many cases, they encourage people to stay on assistance. That’s why I introduced the Reducing Poverty through Employment Act to make fighting poverty through work a priority of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. A federal program does not make people’s lives better, a job does. The poverty trap happens when people on government assistance don’t have an incentive to work or earn more money. For single parents earning minimum wage and utilizing a few government programs to make ends meet, a raise at their job could bump them off assistance. Because of the way the government taxes that additional income, they wouldn’t take home enough to overcome what they lost in government benefits. In certain cases, the person paying the highest marginal tax rate in the U.S. is not the extremely wealthy like Warren Buffett or Bill Gates, it is the single parent making $30,000 with two kids who loses around 80 cents on the dollar in benefits by taking a job and working more. Even after a raise, they could be worse off than before. Fighting poverty is especially important for our district and across the country. The gap between rich and poor is growing and hardworking families are doing all they can just to pay the bills and put food on the table. My legislation will help reform the welfare system to reduce poverty and promote work. When it is signed into law, it will help propel folks from government dependency to financial independence. We need to be promoting work not discouraging it. Government programs should be judged a success by how many people are transitioned off of assistance, not by the number of new sign-ups. My bill is one step toward making sure we focus on addressing the root causes of poverty by promoting work, not trapping people in the system.

Study away trips take students to Ireland, Puerto Rico Several students at Missouri State UniversityWest Plains recently embarked on short study away trips to Ireland and Puerto Rico in an effort to gain a better understanding of material they studied in class, as well as the unique culture these locations offered. Alex Pinnon, director of the William and Virginia Darr Honors Program, traveled with 12 students to Ireland May 18-26, where they visited Dublin, Killarney, Cork and Kinsale and visited such sites as Blarney Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity College and the Ring of Kerry. “We learned about the history of oppression and the victory of the Irish people,” Pinnon said. “We had guided tours that detailed the events of the 1916 uprising, the potato famine, medieval struggles and cultural history. Ireland shares a close bond with the United States and our culture of fortitude. “The students, on their own, climbed the face of Bray Head, discovered new foods and even ventured into Irish dancing,” he continued. “Our tour director, the president of the historical society in Dublin, educated the group over contemporary and historical political struggles that gave the history of Ireland and America a new context. It
also is important to note that, while we were visiting, the students were quite enthused to be part of global history when the Irish, by public referendum, passed marriage equality rights.” Ana Estrella-Riollano, instructor of biology and biomedical sciences, took six students – three from Missouri State-West Plains and three from Missouri State University-Springfield – to Puerto Rico June 12-19 to learn about the biodiversity of this island territory of the United States, which is the smallest of the Greater Antilles and rich in natural resources and biodiversity. While there, they visited such locations as Old San Juan, the El Unique rain forest, Camuy River Caverns, the Rio Abajo forest, the La Parguera Coral Reefs and Bioluminescent Bay, and the Guanica Dry Forest. “As other sub-tropical regions, the Puerto Rican marine and terrestrial ecosystems are suffering the impacts of climate change, pollution, invasive species, habitat loss, and human population growth,” she explained. “Due to these factors, conservation and education programs have been developed all over the island to increase the awareness between citizens and visitors.” Students explored the

In addition, they visited and joined two of the conservation programs to become better aware of the importance of environmental protection. They also experienced cultural exchange while interacting with locals, especially with biology students from the University of Puerto Rico, she said. Another group of students will leave July 9 for a twoweek tour of India under the direction of Dr. Rajiv Thakur, assistant professor of geosciences. While there, they will visit such cities as New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Leh, Imphal, Trivandrum and Kanya Kumari and learn how the interacting dynamics of culture, gender, race, class, climate, population, natural resources, and economic and political processes have impacted one of the most populous nations in the world. University officials pointed out study away trips such as these are becoming increasingly popular with students, primarily because of their great educational impact in hands-on, at-thesite, experiential learning.

SIX STUDENTS from the Missouri State University campuses in West Plains and Springfield traveled with Missouri State-West Plains Biology/Biomedical Sciences Instructor Ana I.

'Breath of Soul' coming to West Plains August 22 Award-winning a cappella group Breath of Soul will take the stage at the West Plains Civic Center Aug. 22 to kick off the fall lineup of Missouri State University-West Plains’ theater and events activities offered by the University/ Community Programs (U/ CP) Department. The Nashville-based, five-man group, which has opened for Lady Antebellum and Jay Leno, covers a variety of rock, pop, R&B and electronic songs and is known for its unique “beatbox” a cappella percussions and background music. “I’ve never seen anybody beatbox like band member Jake Black,” said Jennifer Moore, coordinator of U/ CP theater and events programming. “It’s pretty incredible what the human vocal cords are capable of. Just listening to the group’s music, I’d never guess they were completely a cappella.” Formed by college friends Jesse Upah, David Kempton and Tony Marx, the group got its initial start entertaining tourists at Chicago’s Navy Pier during the summer. The
trio eventually migrated to Nashville, where they added Black and tenor Beck Martin, and renamed themselves Breath of Soul. They’ve appeared at numerous a cappella festivals, including Harmony Sweepstakes, ACappellaFest, Singstrong and Clear Harmonies, and recently completed a two-week tour in Taiwan as part of the Taiwan International Vocal Festival. They’re
best known for winning the Lady Antebellum A Cappella Contest in 2012. Breath of Soul covers songs from such artists as Imagine Dragons, Michael Jackson and One Republic and performs their own original tunes. The group tours extensively throughout the U.S. and released its debut album, Forward, in October 2014. The Aug. 22 performance gets underway at 7 p.m. in the civic center theater.
Tickets are $10 each and available through the West Plains Civic Center box office from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, or by phone at 417-2568087. Children age 13 and under and Missouri State-West Plains students with a BearPass ID will be admitted free.

How to Protect Your Eyes from Macular Degeneration Dear Savvy Senior, Is macular degeneration hereditary? My mother lost her vision from it before she died a few years ago, and now at age 65, I’m worried I may get it. What can you tell me? Nearsighted Susan Dear Susan, Having a parent or sibling with macular degeneration does indeed increase your risk three to four times. But the good news is there are things you can do to protect your eyesight, and a number of treatments that are available if you do happen to get it. Here’s what you should know. What is AMD? Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (or AMD) is the most common cause of vision loss in people over age 50, affecting about 10 million Americans. AMD is a progressive eye disease that damages the macula, the part of the eye that allows us to see objects clearly, causing vision loss in the center of your vision. This affects the ability to read, drive, watch television and do routine daily tasks, but it does not cause total blindness. There are two types of AMD – wet and dry. Dry AMD, which affects about 90 percent of all people that have it, progresses slowly and painlessly over a period of years. While wet AMD is much more aggressive and can cause severe vision loss in a matter of weeks or months. Factors that can increase your risk of getting AMD include age (60 and older); smoking; excessive exposure to sunlight especially if you have light-colored eyes; certain genetic components; a family history of AMD; high blood pressure; obesity; and being Caucasian. For anyone over the age of 60, it’s a smart idea to get your eyes examined by an ophthalmologist every year. They can spot early signs of AMD before vision loss occurs. Early signs, however, may include shadowy areas in your central vision or unusually fuzzy or distorted vision. The Amsler grid at amslergrid.org, is a good tool to check your eyes for AMD. Preventing AMD While there’s currently no cure for AMD there are some things you can do if you’re high risk. One option is to talk to your doctor about taking a daily dose of antioxidant vitamins and minerals known as AREDS – vitamins C and E, plus copper, lutein, zeaxanthin, and zinc. Studies by the National Eye Institute have shown that AREDS can reduce the risk by about 25 percent that dry AMD will progress. Most drug stores sell these eye supplements in tablet or soft gel form over-the-counter for around $20 to $30, but be aware that not all eye supplements contain the proper formulation. Choose either the PreserVision Eye Vitamin AREDS Formula, PreserVision Eye Vitamin Lutein Formula, PreserVision AREDS2 Formula, or ICAPS AREDS. These four options contain the right formula mix. Other lifestyle adjustments that may help prevent or delay AMD include eating antioxidant-rich foods such as dark green, leafy vegetables, and cold-water fish for their omega-3 fatty acids; protecting your eyes from the sun by wearing UV protective sunglasses; controlling high blood pressure; exercising regularly; and if you smoke, quit. Wet AMD Treatments For wet AMD, there are several effective medications (Lucentis, Avastin and Eylea) available that can stop vision loss and may even restore it. These medications are given by injection into the eye, and repeated every month or two, perhaps indefinitely. Note that each of these three drugs works equally in treating wet AMD, but there’s a big cost difference. Avastin costs just $50 per month, compared with $2,000 for the other two. So experts recommend Avastin as the first choice for most people with wet AMD, especially if you don’t have supplemental Medicare coverage. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

During hot summer months, it’s tempting to find a cool spot and relax. But the key to good health is to keep moving, which is why Mercy St. Francis Hospital is hosting a series of Tai Chi courses for beginners. The free, six-week “Tai Chi for Health” course will be held every Monday and Wednesday, beginning Aug.17. Community members are invited to take part from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Mountain View Public Library, located at 124 Oak St. in Mountain View, Missouri. “Tai Chi can benefit not only your physical health, but
also your mental health,” said certified Tai Chi instructor Carol Schmidt. “It’s a lowimpact exercise that is very simple to get the hang of, so we invite anyone to join this course.” Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese tradition often referred to as meditation in motion, can also burn calories safely and improve balance and posture. Its unique and modest motions are enjoyed by all ages and genders. The free course runs through Sept. 30. For more information, call (417) 9347097. Registration is required; class size is limited.

Avoid heat-related illness Even if you think you’re getting used to the triple-digit temperatures, you need to watch out for signs of heatrelated illness. Forms of heat-related illness include heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, says Tammy Roberts, University of Missouri Extension nutrition and health education specialist. Heat cramps usually occur as a result of heavy sweating, sometimes several hours after a person has been out of the heat, Roberts said. The cramps can be very painful and usually affect the arms, legs or abdomen. “To help prevent heat cramps, drink a fluid that has electrolytes during and after long periods of heavy sweating,” she said.
Heat exhaustion happens when the body loses the ability to cool itself. This can occur when a person has been sweating heavily and not replacing fluids and electrolytes. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include headache, dizziness, loss of coordination, impaired judgment, anxiety, clammy skin and a weak, rapid pulse. Someone with these symptoms needs to be cooled down and slowly drink fluids. Have them checked by a doctor. Heat stroke, the most serious heat-related illness, is lifethreatening. It occurs when the body has lost too much water and salt. That loss, along with the body’s inability to cool itself, makes body heat rise to dangerous levels. Symptoms of heat stroke include a high body temperature with no sweating; any of the above symptoms of heat exhaustion; nausea and vomiting; seizures; difficulty breathing; and high blood pressure. If you suspect someone has heat stroke, call 911 and try to cool the person as quickly as possible. Anyone can suffer from a heat-related illness, but the people at greatest risk are infants and young children, senior citizens, people who are obese and those who are already physically ill. Roberts urges people to drink plenty of fluids during times of extreme heat. “Water is a great choice. Fluids with electrolytes are recommended for long periods of heavy sweating.” Digesting food actually creates heat in your body, so if the heat is bothering you, Roberts suggests eating smaller but more frequent meals. Heat-related illness can be very serious but is avoidable. “Remember, shade and water are your friends,” she said.

MDC: Fishing at trout parks not washed out by flooding What doesn’t happen rarely makes headlines, but in regards to how flooding has affected fishing at Missouri’s trout parks this summer, no news is big news. Roaring River State Park in Barry County is the latest site where flooding failed to curtail trout production of the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) hatchery at the area. This seems hard to believe in light of a July 7 deluge so severe that pictures and video of how it swamped the park made national media outlets. However, “not a single fish lost from the hatchery” was Roaring River Hatchery Manager Paul Spurgeon’s damage report. After two days of park closure, people were at stream-side on July 9, reeling in rainbow trout from the site’s well-known waters. Similar stories of trout fishing non-disruption occurred in earlier weeks when flooding hit Maramec Spring Park in Phelps County, Bennett Spring State Park on the Laclede-Dallas County line and Montauk State Park in Dent County. “We are able to keep things running smoothly because of the diligent work that our staff provides by constantly monitoring changing conditions at the hatchery,” said Bennett Spring Assistant Hatchery Manager Mike Perry. Though Perry was speaking about Bennett Spring Hatchery, his words apply to all MDC trout-rearing facilities. The ways each hatchery handled their high-water events are great testimonials to the effectiveness of MDC’s trout hatcheries’ flood-response procedures. Roaring River State Park: Heavy rains on the morning of July 7 caused Roaring River to rise four feet in 10 minutes. More rain followed, which made a bad situation worse for the 314,000 trout at the hatchery. A series of flood gates regulates the spring’s flow into the hatchery’s pools. The flow into these
pools must remain constant to ensure trout survival. During the period when the flood-swollen spring was gushing forth more than 100 million gallons per day (normal flow is 20 million gallons daily), this was a challenge. Other concerns were keeping oxygen levels constant and preventing silt and mud from washing into pools and raceways. “In an event of this magnitude, our staff is here until things stabilize,” Spurgeon said. “Some got temporarily stranded here as roads and bridges got washed out. Lots of long hours are put in and staff stays wet and muddy pretty much the whole time. Plus, some of the things our staff must do can be dangerous.” Spurgeon said many of the trout that had already been released in the stream fared better than people might think. “Trout tend to hunker on the bottom when they can and many will stay in the stream, though they do get moved around a bit by the swift water” Spurgeon said. “A lot of the fish that were already in the stream got washed out into the surrounding areas and got stuck there. Our crews collected fish from these flooded areas and released them back into the stream.” While MDC hatchery staff were tending to trout, MDC heavy equipment operators were pulling debris out of the stream and clearing it away from banks and bridges, filling washouts along the stream and repairing roads During the week, MDC crews moved 1,400 tons of rock and gravel and hauled away more than 20 loads of debris. In nearby Cassville, MDC conservation agents were involved with flood-related emergency response duties. On July 7, conservation agents were able to rescue two elderly individuals from flooded areas of the community and helped out elsewhere as needed.
Maramec Spring Park: Eight inches of rain in a two-day period caused a significant rise in the Meramec River (the stream flowing through the park) on June 19 and submerged much of the park under several feet of water for a brief time. “It rose and fell in a matter of hours,” Maramec Spring Assistant Hatchery Manager Ben Havens said. “It did not cause any damage to the park, just a lot of mud and soggy areas.” This flood did not threaten Maramec Hatchery’s trout-raising area, but Havens said when high-water problems loom, hatchery staff are ready. “We keep a close eye on precipitation that has fallen and river gauges upstream of our park as well as downstream,” he said. “When we feel water levels could possibly rise high enough to reach our fish, we have special aluminum cages that fit over our raceways that keep fish from getting out of the pools. They don’t keep the swollen water from getting to the fish, but they keep fish safe from escaping out of the pools. Our staff may have to work late or come in early if we anticipate a high-water event.” Bennett Spring State Park: Bennett Spring’s flooding on June 17, like that at Maramec Spring, was the result of residual rains from Tropical Storm Bill. As is the case at other hatcheries, battling rising water at Bennett was an around-the-clock job. “Much of the work we do during times like this is very repetitive,” Perry said. “It is very hard physically to do the same thing over and over for hours at a time.” Problems stemming from this flood caused the hatchery to lose approximately 4,000 fish. This number sounds large, but because Bennett Spring Hatchery contains between 600,000 and 700,000 trout of varying sizes at this time of year, it was nothing more than a small dent in the hatchery’s overall rainbow population
MDC and partners offer mentored dove hunts for first-time hunters, register by Aug. 24 The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is partnering with the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), Quail Forever (QF), Pheasants Forever, Friends of the NRA, U.S. Forest Service, and landowners to provide mentored hunts for firsttime dove hunters all across Missouri. Mentored hunts will be offered on the opening day of dove season Sept. 1, with additional dates pending. No equipment is necessary, but participants 11 to 15 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Registration is required by Aug. 24. Interested applicants can apply online at mdc.mo.gov/ node/31059%20. For more information, contact John Burk of NWTF at 573-6765994 or jburk@nwtf.net, or

MDC allows permit images through mobile devices The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announces that Missouri hunters, anglers, and trappers may use electronic images of permits on mobile devices as legal, valid permits beginning July 30. Prior to this, hunters, anglers, and trappers had to have paper copies of permits on them when pursuing these activities. For fishing permits and most hunting permits, an electronic image of the permit -- such as a PDF (Portable Document Format)
-- on a mobile device will be sufficient. The exceptions are for deer and turkey permits. MO Hunting enables Missouri hunters, anglers, and trappers to purchase, view, show, and store current hunting, fishing, and trapping permits and associated details. Deer and turkey hunters must still tag their harvested game if they leave the immediate presence of the harvested animal. Hunters using paper permits may simply attach the voided
permit to the animal’s leg. MDC suggests sealing the paper permit in a zip-top bag and attaching the bag with string, wire, or tape. Hunters using the MO Hunting app must attach a label with their full name, address, permit number, and date of harvest to the deer or turkey’s leg if they leave the animal unattended. Get more information on hunting, fishing, and trapping from MDC online at mdc.mo.gov.
“This (4,000 trout) sounds like a lot of fish,” Perry said, “but Bennett has plenty of fish on hand so that we can continue stocking catchable fish with no problems.” Montauk State Park: Though Montauk was not hit with water levels as high as what soaked other trout parks, Hatchery Manager Tom Whelan said the site has had three “high-water
events” in the past two months. During these times, there was no fish loss at the hatchery and, despite damage to roads used by the stocking trucks, all of the daily trout stockings into the stream took place as scheduled. Whenever high water rushes through a trout park, phones start ringing at hatchery offices from inquiring anglers. Spurgeon
said those are calls all MDC hatchery managers appreciate getting. “We do get a lot of calls from people who are genuinely worried about the fish and are worried that fishing will be affected adversely,” he said. “It’s a good reminder that people do really care about our hatcheries and the trout we raise.”
Flooding - Two photos of the Old CCC Lodge Bridge at Roaring River State Park, taken from approximately the same spot, show how the trout park is returning to normal. The top picture was taken July 7 when flooding swamped the park. The bottom picture was taken on July 10 when the park re-opened. Effective flood-response procedures utilized by Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) hatchery staff and long hours put in by MDC heavy equipment operators helped trout fishing make a quick recovery at Roaring River.
