West Plains man arrested for promoting child pornography The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control announces the arrest of Roger Dale Harrison, 63, of West Plains, Missouri, for promoting and possession of child pornography on June 27, 2017. The arrest was the result of an investigation conducted by members of the Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Investigative Unit. The Patrol was assisted by the West Plains Police Department and the Howell County Sheriff’s Office.

On Tuesday, June 27, 2017, investigators executed a search warrant at Harrison’s residence located in the 700 block of Independence Drive, in West Plains. As a result of the search warrant, investigators located child pornography and computer equipment used to commit the crimes. Harrison was arrested and transported to the Howell County Jail.

On Wednesday, June 28, 2017, the Howell County Prosecuting Attorney’s

Office formally charged Harrison with promoting child pornography in the first degree and five counts of possession of child pornography. Bond was set at $100,000. Harrison bonded out on Wednesday, June 28, 2017.

The Division of Drug and Crime Control encourages Internet users to promptly report to the Patrol or local law enforcement anyone who attempts to engage in unwanted, inappropriate, or sexual-

ized communications with children. The Digital Forensics Investigative Unit is partially funded by the Missouri Department of Public Safety State Cyber Crime Grant and the Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

The above charges are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of these charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

District now able to offer free breakfast, lunches at elementaries

by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com

The Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District will now be able to offer free breakfast and lunches to elementary students in the district for the 2017-2018 school year.

Howell Co.

Superintendent Dr. Don Christensen had been working on a grant through the state which would essentially pay for every elementary meal, both breakfast and lunch.

The program eligibility is based upon the number of elementary students who come from families that

received state welfare assistance. The program, which was more feasible for Birch Tree Elementary than Mtn. View Elementary due to the number of families that receive assistance. It was not feasible at all for the middle school or high school. However, Dr. Christensen worked with the state and they are allowing the district to combine the elementary numbers to qualify both buildings at the same time.

To be able to offer free breakfast and lunches it would require more students to eat breakfast and lunch at the schools.

Dr. Christensen went on to state that he had discussed the ‘Breakfast in the Classroom’ idea with other superintendents doing this program, which serves 100 percent of their students breakfast. “I”m very confident that we can achieve these numbers by doing breakfast in the classroom,” explained Dr. Christensen.

“I think it would be awesome to able to feed every elementary student a free breakfast and lunch every day. No more worrying about meal charges. No more having to fill out forms for free See School on Page 2

Absentee ballots available for August 8 special election Absentee ballots for August 8 “West Plains R-7 School District Special Election” will be available as of Tuesday, June 27 in the Howell County Clerk’s Office. Absentee ballots are available to persons who expect to be out of town on Election Day, incapacitated or confined due to illness or disability. To receive an absentee ballot by mail, an application must be received in the County Clerk’s Office no later than 5 p.m. on Wednesday, August 2. Persons wishing to vote an absentee ballot by mail are encouraged to submit their application early, in order to have ample time to receive and

return their ballot no later than Election Day. Absentee ballots may be voted in person in the County Clerk’s Office located on the first floor of the Howell County Office Building in West Plains until 5 p.m. on Monday, August 7.

The voter registration deadline to vote in the election will be at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 12. Applications to register by mail must be post marked no later than July 12. Persons who are registered but have moved are encouraged to transfer their registration in order to avoid delays in voting on Election Day. Persons wishing to register may

The “West Plains R-7 School District Special Election” will ask voters to authorize an increase the operating tax levy ceiling by $0.25 for each of three consecutive years ($0.75 total), beginning in tax year 2017 in order to provide funds for the site development, construction, expansion, equipping, furnishing and securing of district campuses; and to complete other renovations, remodeling

and repair improvements to the existing facilities of the district.

If the proposition is approved, the current adjusted operating levy of the district at $3.8086 is estimated to increase by $0.25 to $4.0586 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation in tax year 2017 by an additional $0.25 to $4.3086 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation in tax year 2018 and by an additional $0.25 to $4.5586 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation in tax year 2019 and be applicable to the assessed valuation for each year thereafter.

MVPD to participate in speed enforcement campaign

Motorists enjoying the first signs of summer are advised to maintain the speed limit as they travel. Between July 21-21 the Mtn. View Police Department will join participating law enforcement from Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas and Oklahoma in a Regional Speed Enforcement Campaign.

Officers will be on the lookout for those who are traveling above the speed limit on all roadways.

Law enforcement officers across the state will patrol approximately 869 miles of roadway. By concentrating law enforcement on high traffic corridors, organizers hope to put motorists on guard and encourage safe driving.

“Speeding is a serious problem on Mtn. View roadways and has contributed to multiple traffic crashes, especially those that resulted in deaths. Too many of our fellow citizens are impacted by drivers who drive too fast for the road conditions or exceed the speed limit,” stated Chief Jamie Perkins.

“In order to get drivers to slow down and reduce the number of crashes and fatalities, we plan to intensify enforcement of posted speed limits in Mtn. View. We’ll stop and ticket anyone caught speeding,” Chief Perkins said.

Letters to the Editor: Dear Editor: Some in Missouri are a trashy bunch of people and it shows on our roadsides where each spring the trash along the roadsides (both state and county) is so prevalent. I, for one, am ashamed that we in Missouri do not take more pride in our beautiful countryside.

I do not know if the prisoners volunteer for the job or are forced to clean up the roadsides, but I for one want to shout out a big THANK YOU to each prisoner for your hard work on cleaning up our roadsides and making

them presentable again.

Again, our sincere THANK YOU! Angela Beaudine Willow Springs

Dear Editor: Wow! Did you see the avenue of flags in the cemetery Memorial Day? What a sight.

Archie and I started the avenue of flags several years ago starting with 40 and when his health waned we were hanging 92.

The Rotary Club volunteered to take it over when he could no longer help hang them for which we were grateful.

Archie set all the poles but some have been changed which is ok.

It was such a joy to see our efforts still going after all these years. Keep up the good works Rotary.

Sincerely, Wilma Leonard

Buck Nelson in Space .... Buck travels to Mars

Featured in the Mountain View Standard News Wednesday, February 27, 1985 Volume 78, Number 12 Buck Nelson in Space Part 2 This week Buck travels to Mars Last week we looked at the events that led up to Buck Nelson’s trip into outerspace and visits to Mars, the Moon and Venus. On April 24, 1955, at midnight, Buck was visited once more; April 24, 1958 “When my friends came after me--for my trip into space, it did not take long to get ready. I was asked to put on a clean pair of overalls that the laundry had just washed, that the spacemen saw hanging near. I was asked to put them on, as there would be nothing in the pockets. I was told that anything that I took along would be magnetized, so could not take my watch. I left milk out for my cat, which I call ‘Krazy’, and Trixie, my horse, could get feed out on the range. Ted, my dog, went on this trip with me. I could hardly wait to get down back to the place where the ship had landed.

Before I was asked to enter the ship, I was told I could write down the 12 laws of God I had asked about I was told I could take a tablet and pencil along to take notes.

So I was asked to sit on a rock outside of the ship and write down the twelve laws of

God by the light of the open spaceship door and the light of the stars. After I had copied the laws down, word for word as they were given to me, I was asked if it meant anything to me to write down the Laws of God outside under the stars.

I replied that perhaps it was close to nature and they asked, ‘and God?’ I said yes.

Carl Crank recalls the feelings at Buck’s Space Ship Conventions; “You’d be surprised at the feelings there They had prayer and everything was in order. It just seemed like a reverent place, it was unusual. Many of the people were highly educated and there were people from all walks of like there.”

“So here are the laws as they were given to me...

1. Love your maker...God. 2. Thou shalt not kill...includes accidents and war.

3. Love your neighbor.

4. Let your light shine before men, and all will see your good works and it will be an honor to you and your maker...God. 5. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Tuesday is Independence Day and I wanted to stop for a minute and reflect on what that means. Many of us will celebrate by having picnics, attending parades, and watching a fireworks display at dusk. Let us not forget the reason why we celebrate this very special day, the day our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence.

On July 4, 1776, the United States of America was founded with the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

With the signing of this important document, we claimed our independence from Britain, and Democracy was born.

Fifty-six men of simple means and education put their lives, happiness, and worldly possessions on the line to give future generations freedom by inscribing their names on a piece of paper. These men had security in life with money and property, but above all else they wanted freedom and liberty. They gave us a nation that believes in its citizens - a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

On July 4, 2017, the United States of America will celebrate its 241st birthday— 241 years of independence, liberty, freedom, and the uninterrupted pursuit of happiness.

Our forefathers gave more than time and hard work to the cause of independence. Most of these men sacrificed everything they had, including their lives. The British charged some with treason, others fought and died in the Revolutionary War, and many witnessed their homes and livelihood taken from them and destroyed. Yet all stood proud and with determination pledged their devotion.

We, as Americans, should never forget why we have our freedoms and how they were won. Today, there are still those who are willing to give everything for their country.

These brave service men and women remind us that the liberties we often take for granted are valuable and worth fighting for. We are not perfect, but we enjoy more freedoms than any other nation on the planet and our promise is perfect. The Fourth of July is just one day a year when we as a nation can stop and reflect on the free and independent life we all have and the struggles of those before us, among us, and in the future. This Fourth of July, I hope you will join me in reflecting, remembering, and thanking those American soldiers who are defending the freedom we celebrate. Only two have ever offered to lay down their life for you, one is Jesus Christ — the other is the American soldier.

Happy 241st birthday America, may it just be one of many, many more to come.

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.

not food. Use nothing to harm the body, either inside or out.

Wear nothing on the body that harms it or is of no use.

12. God made the heaven and the earth and we must give Him thanks for what he gives us.

“After I had written the 12 Laws down, the spacemen gave their dog, ‘Big Bo’, a bath in the spring and then my dog got a bath.

“Then I was invited into the ship. It was a wonderful experience, merely to enter such a ship. I was told I could take the ship up and to sit at the control panel. Well, I sure did not feel

capable of that...I could drive a car or truck, but my goodness, a beautiful ship that could go from one planet to another...I knew it sure would take a lot of training to fly even our ships, so they saw my hesitation and assured me it would be alright, to sit down and they would show me how easy it was o take the ship into space.

“I sat down feely then and they showed me how easy it was...they put safety belts on all of us, which they told me was the first time in three years.

It was a good thing too, for I had the ship upside down and every which way. I pushed ev-

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

Being an American makes me feel proud, fortunate and humbled all at the same time. Proud that our Founding Father’s vision became a reality. Fortunate because I was lucky enough to be born in this incredible, free nation and humbled by the blessing of serving our country in Congress.

We are a nation of humble beginnings. Colonies of England, bound to serve the King. But our Founding Fathers saw potential for more. The Continental Congress voted in favor of our independence from England on July 2, 1776.

Two days later, on July 4, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies that sparked the great American experiment adopted the Declaration of Independence.

Every year, we celebrate our independence, and rightfully so as it was hard fought and won. Oh say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave – we cannot forget that there was a moment amid the clashing bayonets, exploding cannons, gun powder and smoke when we were not sure America would prevail. But we have never doubted our ability, strength and resilience as a nation since.

Even in some of our lowest, most difficult moments, America has stood together and stood strong. September 11, 2001 stands out to me as one of those moments. When I got the news, I was shocked and saddened, thinking to myself who would want to hurt a country as incredible as ours? Like many of you, I called to check in with friends and family that I had not spoken to in a while to make sure everyone was ok, and I hugged them all a little tighter the next time I saw them.

The attacks on September 11th broke many, many things – lives, homes, hopes and dreams for futures together – but it could not break our American spirit. In fact, it made us even more resolute in our beliefs. We banned together and came back even stronger and prouder of our country – ready to fight to defend our freedoms and our way of life. American flags were hung outside of nearly every home and we rebuilt the World Trade Center even taller than before.

But there are smaller, different battles we wage every day as well. It’s a fight for Missourians’ way of life. Whether that’s making sure the government doesn’t try to regulate every drop of water on your land, or how you heat your homes in the winter or how you spend your paycheck, it’s a fight for what our Founding Fathers believed America could be. The land of the free.

We enjoy freedoms every day. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the freedom to bear arms. All because we prevailed in our fight for independence and have a military who continues to heroically defend our nation’s sovereignty.

We have proved to be the home of the brave many times over in our nation’s short, 241-year history. From the Vietnam War to rallying in the face of a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, defending humanity and defeating the Nazis, to the War on Terror that is still being valiantly fought today, Americans have faced adversity bravely and boldly. I am thankful for our freedom and the brilliance of our Founding Fathers who had a dream of what this piece of land that was colonized by England could become. On July 4th and every other day, I am so very proud to be an American.

ery button I could and turned every dial. I got results one way or the other from everything I touched. When I got the ship upside down. I got no help only lots of laughs from the spacemen...”

Ed Gimpel was a neighbor of Buck’s at this time, “I remember him as being a loner.

He had a horse and wagon that he would take to town or sometimes he would just walk into Mountain View,” he said. “I drove him in a few times, but he never really talked much and didn’t say anything about the spacemen.”

The following news story appeared on the front page of the Standard News on June 26, 1958: “Buck Nelsons Mountain View Ranch will be the setting for a big space craft convention this week. ‘There will be speeches and discussions.

“Buck has done extensive advertising and the word has been circulated all of the United States.

“Out of state cars are coming in and a crowd of several thousand people is expected.”

“When we first entered the ship, gages were set that control the air pressure so that it was adjusted to correspond to the air pressure on Mars, our next stop. Lights were turned out once to show that it was inky black in space.”

Mars “It seemed to be necessary to sleep when in space. Bucky woke me up and said we were just about to land on Mars.

“Before we landed though, the ship tilted so that I could see the canal system...they wanted to show me that...After we got closer, the ship was tilted again to show me the cattle and horses in the field. Finally we landed about 20 feet from the door

of what I was told was a ‘rulers home’. A good meal was ready for us, we ate and the crew exchanged papers. My little dog, Teddy, was given a good meal of fish that he sure loved.

“This building, which we entered, was built of rock on the outside, which I was told came form our moon. The interior seemed to be covered with steel of some kind. The part of the hinges which we would put into a door with screws was molded right into the door.

The only small separate part of what to us would be the hinges, was the pin. A large diamond topped one of these pins.

“The people there didn’t know I was from Earth until I was introduced as an Earthman. The children cam around then to ask questions. I was told that there are other races and colors of people there, but that I was taken where the people were most like the ones I was used to.

“Mars is very colorful. I couldn’t tell where the one color ended and another began.

“The people on Mars used solar and electric power.”

James Austin lives on the old ranch now. He told us that he hadn’t seen any space ships, but that people still come around and ask if they can just sit and wait. There is a clearing where power lines cross “NN” and Mr. Austin said that people come there and picnic, etc.

By order of the Court, Supreme Court of Missouri Judge Zel M. Fischer will become Missouri’s next chief justice July 1.

His term as chief justice will run through June 30, 2019. He succeeds Judge Patricia Breckenridge, who remains on the Court.

Fischer grew up in Watson, the most northwestern city in Missouri and was educated in the Rock Port public schools. He received his bachelor of arts degree, majoring in both philosophy and political science, in 1985 from William Jewell College in Liberty and his law degree, with distinction, in 1988 from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. He then clerked for Supreme Court of Missouri Judge Andrew Jackson Higgins, who had completed his own two-year term as chief justice just a year before.

After completing his clerk-

ship, Fischer worked in the private practice of law in northwest Missouri from 1989 to 2006, when he was elected associate circuit judge in Atchison County. In October 2008, he was appointed to the Supreme Court, where he led an effort for trial judges throughout the state to have advanced education and training to preside over cases involving complex science or technology issues.

Fischer and his wife, Julie, live in rural northwest Missouri and have four children.

Mountain View Garden Club Yard of the Month - For the month of July the garden club has chosen the Patio beds at the Park Place Assisted living. These beds are maintained by Dean Plumb, former long time resident of Winona. Dean moved to the Assisted living in the fall of 2016. This spring and summer he has spent numerous hours planting and maintaining the container beds surrounding the patio. His beds include Tomatoes, Corn, Zucchini and Green Beans. There are dozens of pots containing flowers, some perennial and some annuals.

There are Petunias, Marigolds, Moss Rose, Cannas, Dahlia’s, Mums, Morning Glory, Sweet Williams, Lilies, Shasta Daisy’s and Hosta. Dean was well known around Winona for his gardens and as the man to call for getting your garden spot plowed each year. His wife Eunice, kept flowers and the Lilies and Shasta Daisy’s in his current bed were moved with him to the Assisted Living beds. We were honored to present this award to Dean and proud to see that he has continued his love of gardening even after leaving his home in Winona. The Mountain View Garden Club is a member of the Federated Garden Clubs of Missouri and the National Garden Clubs, Inc. (Photo provided to the Standard)

Thank you to Stream Team volunteers for post-flood cleanup Earlier this month, Doniphan Neighborhood Stream Team 4847 gathered a large group of volunteers and went to work cleaning up flood debris along the Current River in Ripley County. Volunteers from Poplar Bluff made up a big part of the group, representing the First Baptist Church and Second Baptist Church of Poplar Bluff.

More youth from Grandin’s

Good Hope Baptist Church also lent a hand in the cleanup effort. From Deer Leap to the Doniphan Bridge, the volunteers worked with Forest Service personnel to remove seven refrigerators, four washers, four dryers, 40 cubic yards of sheet metal, 20 cubic yards of trash, and many tires.

Jane Mobley, Manpower Development Specialist for

Texas County Technical College’s staff would like to introduce their four newest faculty members: Carolynne Linn, Joanna Patillo, Sonya White, and Sue Hudson.

These four women come from diverse backgrounds and each bring something unique to the TCTC faculty.

Carolynne Linn BSN, RN received her BSN from Thomas More College in Cincinnati, OH. Be-fore coming to TCTC, Linn worked for Phelps County Regional Medical Center. You can now find Linn in the classroom teaching TCTC’s Practical Nursing (LPN) students and sharing her passion for nursing with them. “I hope not to just be a part of the next generation of nurses through educating them, but also by

instilling in them a love of learning throughout their nursing career,” said Linn.

Joanna Patillo RNC, BSN earned her degree at Missouri State University and is currently continuing her education in their Master of Science in Nursing-Nurse Educator program. Patillo brings great work experience to the TCTC faculty, including her time as a Registered Nurse at the University of Missouri’s Women and Children’s Hospital, Registered Nurse at Medical Solutions, and more recently, an instructor at MSU-West Plains. Patillo has a passion for nursing and is enjoying her time in the classroom with students.

Sonya White is TCTC’s general education science instructor, covering Micro-

the Mark Twain National Forest stated, “This cleanup was a team effort and I was very proud of everyone that pitched in.” Mobley continued, “I want to recognize the contributions from the League of Watershed Guardians out of St. Louis Stream Team 4660, the Arnold Stream Team 211, D&D Tire, and Fast Trash Service; and I want to thank the For-

Meet four instructors at TCTC

est Service personnel that helped out including Toby Barton, Russell Harris, and Alex Gosgrove.” One of the volunteers, Julie Braschler, brought pizza to everyone working along the river to make sure they all had lunch.

Terry Cooper, Mayor of Doniphan came out to the

cleanup event to show support and thanked the volunteers for their efforts.

Ozarks Medical Center offering free athletic physicals for area students July 20 Auto Safety Devices That Can Help Seniors With Older Cars Dear Savvy Senior, Do you know of any auto safety products that can help seniors with older cars? My 80-year-old father, who drives his beloved 2004 Toyota Avalon, is still a good pretty driver but he has limited range-of-motion, which makes looking over his shoulder to back-up or merge into traffic very difficult.

Inquiring Son Dear Inquiring, To help keep your dad safe and extend his driving years, there are a number of auto aids and new safety technology products that can be added to his car to help with various needs. Here are several to consider.

Backup Aids To help your dad increase his visibility when backing up, a simple product that can be added to his car is an AllView Mirror ($60, AllviewMirror.com). This is an oversized rear view mirror that attaches to his existing mirror to widen his rear visibility and eliminate blind spots so he can see traffic without significant neck or body rotation. It also helps during parking.

Another option is a backup camera. These come with a weatherproof, night vision camera, which attaches to the license plate on the rear of the car. When the car is in reverse, it sends live images wirelessly to a small monitor that mounts to the dash or windshield. The Yada Digital Wireless Backup Camera ($140, Amazon) with 4.3” Dash Monitor is a good option. Or, if your dad doesn’t want a monitor in his car, the Auto Vox Wireless Backup Camera ($140, Amazon. com) is one that displays the images in a rearview mirror.

Blind Spot Helpers To help your dad see better when switching lanes or merging into traffic, purchase your dad some “blind spot mirrors.”

These are small convex mirrors that would stick to the corner of his side view mirrors to improve side and rear vision.

They can be purchased in any store that sells auto supplies for a few dollars.

Or, for a high-tech more comprehensive solution, there’s the Goshen Blind Spot Detection System ($239, Goshers. com). This system uses small sensors installed on each side of the rear bumper that monitor the sides of the vehicle, and will alert your dad with a light indicator, installed inside the car, if any object detected within 10 feet.

Safety Products For extra safety, you may also want to consider a collision warning/lane departure device for your dad’s vehicle like the Mobileye 630. This is a smart camera that attaches to the windshield and will alert your dad if he speeds, drifts out of his lane, gets too close to the car in front of him, or gets too close to a pedestrian or cyclist. Sold only through retailers (see Mobileye.com/en-us/find-a-retailer), this device can be purchased and installed by a Mobileye-certified technician for around $1,100.

If you’re interested in something a little less expensive, there are also dashboard cameras that can double as collision warning systems. Garmin’s Dash Cam 35 ($129, Amazon. com), for example, monitors up to 130 feet in front of the vehicle, so if your dad is going 30 mph or faster, it will issue audio and visual alerts of impending collisions.

Another product that can help keep your dad safe in emergency situations is the Hum (Hum.com). This nifty device will automatically call emergency services if your dad has been in an accident. It also sends alerts to drivers’ phones if there’s a mechanical problem and lets driver’s press a button if they need roadside assistance. Hum works in cars built in 1996 or later, and costs $10 per month with two-year required subscription, and one-time set-up and activation fees totaling $50.

MDC expands deer feeding ban to 41 counties in response to CWD Placing food or minerals for deer is now prohibited in 12 more counties starting July 1 to help limit the spread of chronic wasting disease The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has expanded restrictions on feeding deer and placing minerals for deer from 29 to 41 counties throughout the state, effective July 1.

The goal of the expanded feeding ban is to help limit the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD). The 41 counties comprise MDC’s CWD Management Zone.

MDC designates counties in and around where CWD has been found as part of its CWD Management Zone.

The 12 new counties are: Barry, Benton, Cedar, Dade, Hickory, Ozark, Polk, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Stone, and Taney.

They were added in response to finding CWD in Jefferson and St Clair counties during MDC’s sampling efforts last

season, and the finding of CWD last year in hundreds of deer in northwest Arkansas near the Missouri border.

According to the Wildlife Code of Missouri, the placement of grain, salt products, minerals, and other consumable natural and manufactured products used to attract deer is prohibited year-round within counties of the CWD Management Zone. Excep-

Tick study under way at Meramec The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services havebegun a systematic effort to trap and collect ticks at Meramec State Park. Following the collection process, the agencies began testing the ticks for any kind of tick-borne illness.

According to the Department of Health and Senior Services, the two most common diseases spread by tick bites in Missouri are Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis. The agencies are also testing for the Bourbon virus, a rare tick-borne illness that has been found only four times in the United States.

The agencies have confirmed they are investigating one case of the Bourbon virus in Missouri.

Although Meramec State Park is an area of interest in the Bourbon virus investigation, health officials have advised that at this time there is no information to suggest the potential exposure risk at the park is any greater than anywhere else in Missouri. Accordingly, the park and all its facilities remain open to the public as the tick collection process continues. Missouri State Parks will continue to provide information to our visitors about how to protect themselves from tick bites, how to proper-

ly remove ticks and what to watch for if they do have a tick bite. These efforts include interpretive programs, information posted on bulletin boards and given to visitors.

You can protect yourself from ticks with some simple steps: use repellant, wear long sleeves, don’t walk in tall grass.

For more tips on how to protect yourself from tick-borne illnesses, visit the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services at health.mo.gov/living/ healthcondiseases/communicable/tickscarrydisease/index.php.

Japanese beetles and EAB wreak havoc on Missouri’s plants and trees The Japanese beetle and the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) are two invasive insects that are wreaking havoc on Missouri’s plants and trees. To the untrained eye, these two pests may look similar to one another. However, there are a few easy ways to figure out which green pest is plaguing your yard.

“It’s easy to tell these two beetle species apart, even though both are metallic green in color and about a half-inch long,” said MDC Forest Entomologist Robbie Doerhoff. “EAB is slender and bullet shaped, while Japanese beetles are much wider and have copper-colored wing covers.”

Japanese Beetle Japanese beetles were first discovered in North America in 1916, likely imported from Asia in potted plants.

Japanese beetles can now be found through much of Missouri, with high populations in some areas.

Japanese beetles are leaf “skeletonizers,” feeding on the upper surface of leaves and leaving behind a lacy network of leaf veins. They can feed upon more than 300 different types of plants and are frequently seen on grape vines, rose bushes, and elm, linden, sassafras, and fruit trees. In Missouri, these pests are usually present in June and July.

“Japanese beetles can defoliate an entire tree in just a few days. Good tree care, such as proper mulching and

MDC has expanded restrictions on feeding and placing minerals for deer to 41 counties.

MDC will also require mandatory sampling of deer harvested during opening weekend of the November portion of the firearms deer season. It will be limited to 25 counties and is being done to collect tissues samples for CWD testing. (Photo provided to the Standard)

tions are feed placed within 100 feet of any residence or occupied building, feed placed in such a manner to reasonably exclude access by deer, and feed and minerals present solely as a result of normal agricultural or forest management, or crop and wildlife food production practices.

The 12 new counties join these 29 existing counties of the Department’s CWD Management Zone: Adair, Boone, Callaway, Carroll, Chariton, Cole, Cooper, Crawford, Franklin, Gasconade, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Livingston, Macon, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage, Putnam, Randolph, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby, St. Charles, St. Louis, Sullivan, Warren, and Washington.

“CWD is spread from deer to deer and the potential for transmission increases when deer gather in larger, con-

centrated numbers,” said MDC Wildlife Disease Coordinator Jasmine Batten.

“Feeding deer or placing minerals for deer unnaturally concentrates the animals and can help spread the deadly disease.”

Fall Mandatory Sampling in 25 Counties As part of its efforts to find and limit the spread of CWD, MDC will again require hunters who harvest deer in any of 25 select counties of the CWD Management Zone during the opening weekend of the November portion of the firearms deer season (Nov. 11 and 12) to present their harvested deer at one of 56 MDC sampling stations so tissue samples can be taken to test the animals for CWD. The 25 mandatory CWD sampling counties include new counties added to the CWD Management Zone,

watering during dry spells, becomes very important in helping reduce stress to damaged trees,” said Doerhoff.

For light infestations of Japanese beetles on shrubs and small trees, Doerhoff recommends hand-picking beetles and putting them in soapy water. While several insecticides are available to control these pests, caution is in order.

“If you decide to use insecticides, select a product labeled for Japanese beetles and the plant type you want to protect. To avoid killing beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies, don’t apply insecticides to blooming plants,” she said.

Learn more about the Japanese beetle on MDC’s website at http://on.mo.

gov/2uiFcr3. Get treatment information at http://on.mo. gov/2tpI9ZI. Emerald Ash Borer Like Japanese beetles, EAB is native to Asia. This invasive tree pest was first found in Missouri in 2008 at a campground near Lake Wappapello. Since then, EAB has been found in 37 counties throughout the state. Firewood movement is one way this pest has been able to establish in new locations so quickly.

Doerhoff added EAB is much different than the Japanese beetle.

“EAB only feeds on ash trees, and this species doesn’t congregate in large masses like Japanese beetles,” she said. “It can be difficult to actually see an EAB, even in areas where the population is high, because they will be feeding and mating in a tree’s canopy.”

EAB only attacks ash trees.

The adult beetle does very little damage. It is the larval stage that causes tree death. EAB larvae bore into the vascular layer of ash trees, creating distinct S-shaped galleries that slowly cut off the flow of water and nutrients. Unfortunately, EAB kills over 99% of the ash trees it attacks within 3-4 years of infestation.

The best way to prevent EAB from attacking an ash tree is by treating it with a systemic insecticide. The size of the ash tree and its current state of health are important considerations when deciding on a treatment plan.

“If you decide to treat your ash tree, make sure you use a pesticide labeled to kill EAB and that you apply it at the right time of year,” said Doerhoff. “Trees over 20 inches in trunk diameter need to be treated by a licensed applicator, such as a certified arborist.”

counties with previous CWD positives, and counties very near previous positives. They are: Adair, Barry, Benton, Cedar, Cole, Crawford, Dade, Franklin, Hickory, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Macon, Moniteau, Ozark, Polk, St. Charles, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Stone, Sullivan, Taney, Warren, and Washington.

MDC will also continue to offer voluntary CWD sampling opportunities throughout the 2017-2018 deer hunting season at more than 55 participating taxidermists and designated MDC offices around the state.

Additional information is available in MDC’s 2017 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet, available starting in July where permits are sold and online at mdc. mo.gov.

Eight artists to be featured in exhibit at the Gallery at the Center West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA) will host a mixed-media exhibition of pieces produced by members of the West Plains Artists Guild of West Plains. The exhibit will be displayed at the Gallery at the Center, West Plains Civic Center from August 1-27, 2017.

The Gallery, on the mezzanine, is open to the public during regular Civic Center hours.

West Plains Artists Guild is a diverse group of artists and art enthusiasts interested in promoting an awareness of art; encouraging and uplifting fellow artists through events and activities of common interest; and providing opportunity for learning new skills and fresh understanding through workshops, classes and exhibits.

Angela Bullard – Bullard returned to West Plains after several years in Chicago, Illinois, where she was pursuing an active career as a professional actress. In addition to the theatre arts, she has always had a great love of the visual fine arts, taking many classes and workshops while attending college.

She attended classes at the Art and Chisel Studio while living in Chicago, and has studied with and participated in watercolor/monotype workshops with Ingrid Albrecht.

Bullard also enjoys expressing herself by exploring other artistic visual mediums – textiles and fiber arts, painting abstract designs, and jewelry making. Angela is a creative new artist to be watched.

Anna Cluck – Cluck grew up in southern Illinois, just outside of St. Louis Missouri, but has also lived in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, Oklahoma and Texas; giving her the opportunity to meet many colorful people and visit a multitude of museums. Although she worked as an accountant, she always found comfort and beauty in nature and life that surrounded her.

After retiring, Cluck and her husband traveled throughout the country, giving her a wide variety of natural scenery and subjects to paint during her retirement years; finally settling down on the outskirts of Pomona, Missouri.

Barbara Willey Elgin – Elgin (Barb) was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, and even as a small child liked to draw and color.

She would copy cartoon characters from the funny papers that came in the Sunday Star and from comic books. Barb was very creative on her own as a child. When she would color in her coloring books, she would add in characters to make it more personal. Barb’s favorite was a little worm that she would add to most of her drawings and coloring book pages. Her little worm didn’t have a name, he was her little friend and she added him in doing things, sitting on a leaf or a shoulder. Once she had him running for his life, with sweat shooting out over the his head.

When Barb was older, her Dad bought her a John Knaggy art set that had her first set of pastels, along with colored

pencils and watercolors with instruction booklets. Barb saved her allowance for buying Foster art books, where she came to love drawing portraits in graphite and pastels. Throughout her Junior and Senior High School years, Barb was always in the special art classes for gifted students.

Joyce Heddy – Heddy grew up in St Louis, Missouri. She and her husband moved to West Plains, Missouri 40 years ago, and reside on a small farm outside the corporate area, where they raise Black Angus cattle.

Joyce always had a love for art.

After she retired. she joined a small art group being taught by professional local artist Regina Willard.

Joyce is basically a self-taught artist studying from a constant flow of library books and u-tube videos. She attended several plein air events with her daughter, and after going to watch a couple times, she was hooked! Joyce loves art, nature and animals. Being able to paint in the open air with all its natural light and beauty, makes a painting come together in perfect harmony.

Gladys P. Morris – Gladys Morris is from rural Maryland.

She moved to West Plains, Missouri in 2003 after retiring from the US Air Force. Her extensive travels with the military have given her the opportunity to visit many art museums not only in the United States, but other countries as well. Morris’ first “Wow” moment in art was during a field trip to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC to see the “Mona Lisa” during her senior year in High School.

After graduating from high school, life took her in a different direction, not leaving her with much time for art and painting.

Since retirement Morris decided to focus on developing her artistic skills and techniques. Her art is basically self-taught, although she has attended several workshops and seminars. She dabbles in all mediums, and just has fun creating and painting nature in its full burst of color.

Ginny Thomason – Thomason is a long-time resident of West Plains a mom of two and an ecstatic first time grandma.

She is a self-taught artist, dabbling in a wide variety of mediums. Art is therapy for Ginny, and was for many years a relatively private passion.

Ginny is an award-winning animal and pet artist. Last year, she began accepting pet portraits on commissions. Her pet portraits seem to come alive with expression and feeling on paper. Surprisingly, Ginny enjoys working in watercolor most.

Ginny also teaches the Monday after School Art program for children in grades K-8, as well as various art camps and workshops in her home town of West Plains and the surrounding communities. Students learn the fundamentals of color theory, while having the opportunity to experiment with different tools and techniques.

Her focus is always on giving the child enough instruction to be confident, but enough free-

dom to enjoy being creative in expressing themselves.

You can find more about Ginny’s art journey on her blog: joyfullyginny.wordpress.com or on her Facebook page: Gin’s Joyful Pet portraits.

Regina Willard – Willard is from West Plains. Her desire and passion for art started at a very early age. When she was in her teens, she was exposed to oil painting and instantly fell in love with it as a medium. Regina is primarily a self-taught artist who gained knowledge from attending workshops with accomplished artists such as Laura Robb, Carolyn Anderson and Laura Putnam. and paints regularly in her studio. Her ideas for paintings are sparked by surroundings of familiar subjects. She describes her style as “painterly with emphasis on color and brushwork.” “I enjoy the sound of the brush on canvas and the mark making process” she said. “My favorite part of a painting is the beginning where the paint is born of just scribbles and brush strokes.”

Willard’s work has been exhibited in numerous juried and non-juried shows in the Ozarks, winning multiple awards including Best of Show and People’s Choice Awards. She is currently a member of the American Impressionist Society, the National Oil painters of America and president of the local Artists guild. Her paintings have been purchased by local West Plains businesses and by private individuals throughout the U.S. She lives in West Plains with her husband Jason.

Velma Wilson – Wilson has gone by the name Squeekie since day one. He mother called her that in the hospital, because when she cried or fussed she squeaked. Being from a large family in a very small town, the nickname stuck. Born and raised in Thayer, Missouri, Wilson’s innate love for art was inherited from her grandmother.

As a young girl she always loved to draw and color.

Although, Wilson has attended artists’ workshops, her talent in the use of color is mainly selftaught, by being creative and experimenting with mixing, blending and harmonizing her pallet of colors. Although, she enjoys being creative and working in all mediums, her medium of choice is oils. Because they are thicker and slower drying, there is some flexibility to step away from the work, come back with a fresh look, and make changes.

Wilson’s ambition is not to become an award-winning artist but to pass on her love of art and her joy of being creative as an artist to her grandchildren one day.

WPCA will host a Meet the Artists Reception on Saturday, August 12, 2-4 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.
