Catholic priest sentenced to 50 years for producing child porn Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Roman Catholic priest was sentenced in federal court for producing child pornography. “This sexual predator victimized five young children over a period of almost six years,” Dickinson said. “He violated his religious vows, betrayed the trust of his parishioners and shocked the entire community. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison for his deliberate, planned and chronic child sexual abuse. Today’s sentence of 50 years without parole, a virtual life sentence, is a just outcome to protect our children and our community from this predator priest.” Shawn Ratigan, 47, of Independence, Mo., a diocesan priest and former pastor or assistant pastor in several area parishes, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gary A. Fenner to 50 years in federal prison without parole. Ratigan was the parish pastor at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Kansas City, Mo., and worked at St. Mary’s Church in St. Joseph, Mo., and St. Joseph’s Church in Easton, Mo. More recently, he served as chaplain to the Franciscan Sisters of the Holy Eucharist in Independence. On Aug. 2, 2012, Ratigan pleaded guilty to four counts of producing child pornography and one count of attempting to produce child pornography. Each of those counts involved the sexual exploitation of a separate child victim. Ratigan See Priest on Page 7

The former manager of the Missouri State University bookstore pleaded guilty in federal court to embezzling more than $1.1 million by pocketing the money from the school’s textbook buyback program. “MSU’s former bookstore manager engaged in a 10-yearlong scheme of theft and deceit,” Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri said. “He repeatedly abused his position to exploit weaknesses in the university’s accounting system and steal more than $1.1 million. MSU, to its credit, has corrected those weaknesses and fully cooperated with our investigation.” Mark Brixey, 48, of Ozark, Mo., waived his right to a grand jury and pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge David P. Rush to a federal information that charges him with wire fraud, money laundering and filing a false tax return. Brixey, the manager of the MSU bookstore from 1998 to August 2012, admitted that he embezzled $1,163,237 from the student textbook buy-back program. Brixey’s 10-year fraud scheme began in 2003 with the theft of nearly $29,000 and escalated each year, with more than $190,000 stolen during each of the last two full years of the scheme in 2010 and 2011. Brixey embezzled another $20,580 before he resigned in 2012. Textbook Buyback Scheme As manager of the MSU bookstore, Brixey handled all contacts related to the textbook buy-back program.

Big first half by Liberty buries the Fighting Irish but were focused. Only once in the entire first half did the Eagles fail to reach the end-zone. Liberty racked up 294 total yards on offense in those first two quarters, getting 185 from the ground and the rest through the air as Pruett went 5 of 11 for 109 yards and four scores. Marcos Rodriguez led the way with 67 yards on six carries. Most of those yards came from a 44yard romp that set Liberty up for a 1-yard touchdown run by Koel Orchard on the next play. It was the second score for Orchard who earlier had pulled down a 28-yard touchdown to start the second quarter. Brenton Bush hauled in two other touchdown catches, while Raider finished the half by hauling in passes from both quarterbacks. The senior wideout and defensive back took advantage of a quarterback change by the Irish at the end of the second quarter, intercepting the new QB on his first two passes. Raider followed those
interceptions by scoring on offense, taking a pitch 10 yards for a touchdown the first time, and catching a 10-yard pass to score again on the next. When the teams went into the locker room at the half, the Eagles led 49-0 after giving up just 67 total yards to the Irish, and forcing three turnovers. It was the second week in a row the Eagles thoroughly dominated their opponent as they wrapped up games against teams from outside the South Central Association. Liberty travels to Thayer next week as they begin conference play. The Bobcats had a good night of their own last Friday, shocking the Strafford Indians 44-16 to improve to 2-0 on the season. “Thayer is much improved across the board,” said Acklin, “Their passing game is more efficient. They are running more formations on offense than they have in the past. They have always gave us fits with their defense, but are very

"We gave up ten runs in the third inning; fielding erros, throwing errors, mental errors, you name it ... the wheels came off in the third," commented Head Coach Robert Brown on the loss. "The other six innings we competed at a high level and did the things competitive teams do to be successful.

Lady Eagles Softball looking strong The Liberty Lady Eagles Softball season is off to a great start as the Lady Eagles have come away with two wins for a 2-1 record, 1-0 conference
record thus far. The first game of the season at Gainesville began a little shaky as the Varsity Lady Eagles fell 5-12 to the
a three-yard run to mid-field. That’s when Cale Cornman single-handedly ended the Irish drive, pounding a run for a seven-yard loss on third down, and blocking the ensuing punt. It set the Eagles up deep inside Catholic territory, and Liberty took advantage when Pruett scrambled for a 17-yard touchdown and a 7-0 Eagles lead. Neither team could manage a first down on their next possessions. It was the only time during the first-half that the Eagles were stopped as a bad snap caused a 15-yard loss on first down. The Liberty punt was short giving the Irish a golden opportunity at the Eagles 27-yard line. That gold evaporated however after a sack by Cornman on fourth and five gave the ball right back to the Eagles. From that point on, Liberty took over the game, scoring six consecutive touchdowns. They got the first after driving to the Catholic 13yard line thanks to a couple of big runs by Pruett. The junior quarterback broke loose for 32 yards to put the ball in Irish territory, and three plays later he kept the ball on an option for 25 more. Pruett passed to Brenton Bush on the next play and the Eagles expanded their lead to 14-0. After another Catholic punt, Liberty had the ball again as the second quarter began and needed just two big plays to cross the goal line. It started with a pass to Kohletin Briggs for 30 yards, and ended with a 28-yard strike to Orchard for the touchdown. Liberty followed that with a five-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a second touchdown of the night for Bush, this time it went for 29-yards as the Eagles took a

For the game, Pulliam was 2/3, 1 run, 2 RBIs; Taylor was 4/5, 2 runs; Johnson was 2/5, 3 RBIs and Burton was 2/4, 2 RBIs. "We scored four runs in the first inning to get off to a good start," began Coach Brown. "We added runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings of the game. Brooke Taylor pitched seven innings to get her second win of the year. We did a good job of working ourselves out of jams, made several exceptional plays in the field to kill an Ava rally."

Federal Court blocks EPA's Clean Water rule from taking effect Court rules Missouri and 12 other States “likely to succeed on the merits” of their claims that EPA exceeded its authority by expanding its jurisdiction to include dry creek beds and farm land in a 100-year flood plain Attorney General Chris Koster said that a federal judge has blocked EPA’s new clean water rule from taking effect as scheduled on August 28, 2015. Granting a motion for preliminary injunction filed by Missouri and 12 other states, Judge
Ralph Erikson of the U.S. District Court of North Dakota found “the states are likely to succeed on their claim because (1) it appears likely that the EPA has violated its Congressional grant of authority in its promulgation of the Rule at
issue and (2) it appears likely the EPA failed to comply with APA requirements when promulgating the Rule.” “In issuing the preliminary injunction,” Koster said, “the federal court sent an unmistakable message to the
EPA: You have gone too far. Missouri’s land and water resources should be regulated by officials accountable to the people of the state, not by arbitrary standards dictated from Washington DC.” In June, Missouri and 12 other States sued the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) over the agencies’ new rule defining “waters of the United States.” The new definition expands the scope of clean water regulations to lands that are dry much of the year and increases the federal government’s authority to control land use in Missouri. The states allege that EPA and the Corps failed to follow proper procedure before adopting the rule. They also allege that the rule violates several provisions of the United States Constitution. The states’ challenge to the rule itself still needs to be briefed, argued, and decided by the courts, but this injunction will maintain the status quo
until the case is fully decided. Koster said the agencies’ new definition of “waters of the United States” extends the agencies’ regulation far beyond what a reasonable person considers to be a waterway. For example, the rule defines tributaries to include ponds, streams that flow only briefly during or after rainstorms, and channels that are usually dry. The definition extends to lands within a 100-year floodplain -- even if they are dry 99 out of 100 years. The other states joining the lawsuit with Missouri are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

sell their used textbooks to Follett Educational Services, which contracted with MSU to administer the book buy-back program. Follett operated 10 textbook buyback stations on the MSU campus during finals week in December and May of each year. On the last day of each buy-back period, a Follett representative prepared a report that detailed how many textbooks were purchased and at what price. A Follett representative also calculated the commissions to be paid to MSU for allowing Follett to conduct the textbook buy-back program at the university. A Follett representative gave a sight draft/check to Brixey for payment of the commission to MSU (beginning in 2011, the Follett representative paid the commission in cash directly to Brixey). Follett also purchased textbooks that were no longer used by MSU professors directly from the MSU bookstore. Similar to the textbook buy-back program, a Follett representative calculated the total amount to be paid to MSU for these books and gave a sight draft/check to Brixey. The bookstore also disposed of surplus textbooks by reselling them to textbook wholesalers, such as MBS Textbook Exchange, Inc., and Nebraska Book Company. When Brixey received sight drafts/checks payable to MSU for these buy-back

Jim loved nature and the home he built on THOMPSON FARMS was always his permanent residence. While Jim was known for his quick wit and humor, he was also a well-read, well-spoken and knowledgeable individual who could converse on any subject. Jim is survived and will always be missed by his beloved sons, Luke and Logan; sister Vena Lee and husband Harry Brondel; sister Sandra Rutledge; brother Verlon and wife Cora Thompson; brother Carroll

From Page One programs, he took those checks to the MSU bursar’s office. Brixey falsely claimed that the sight drafts/checks were needed to pay students for books purchased in the buy-back program. The bursar’s office relied upon Brixey’s misrepresentations and provided cash to Brixey. Brixey did not record the cash received in the MSU Bookstore accounting system, but instead used the cash for his personal benefit. Count One: Wire Fraud Brixey admitted that he executed the scheme to cause electronic transmissions related to the processing of sight drafts (in connection with the commissions and the purchase of textbooks). Count Two: Money Laundering Brixey admitted that he concealed his fraud scheme by disguising the proceeds through multiple financial transactions. Brixey routinely deposited the proceeds of his fraud scheme into Educational Credit Union accounts then transferred cash from those accounts to purchase and add value to certificates of deposit. Between Jan. 11, 2008, and July 16, 2012, Brixey made or caused to be made 55 transfers totaling $121,000 from Education Credit Union deposit accounts to Educational Credit Union certificates of deposit. Count Three: Filing a False Tax Return Brixey admitted that on April 15, 2011, he filed a tax
return that failed to report approximately $194,521 in income received through the fraud scheme in 2010. Brixey also filed a tax return for 2011 that failed to report $192,202 of income from his fraud scheme and a tax return for 2009 that failed to report $166,354 of income from his fraud scheme. Between 2009 and 2011, Brixey failed to report a total of $553,077 of income from his fraud scheme, resulting in a tax loss to the government of approximately $166,247 for those three years. Penalties Under federal statutes, Brixey is subject to a sentence of up to 43 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine and an order of restitution. Brixey must forfeit to the government $1,163,237, which represents the proceeds of the wire fraud scheme, and a number of certificates of deposit that were purchased with proceeds from the fraud scheme. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office. This case is being prosecuted by Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael S. Oliver. It was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service, IRSCriminal Investigation, the Springfield, Mo., Police Department and the Greene County, Mo., Prosecuting Attorney.

In 1944, Virgil was drafted into the United States Army 31st Infantry Division and served in New Guinea. He re-enlisted for another four years while he was serving in Manila and served at Newport News, Virginia.

admitted that he exploited five child victims to produce sexually explicit pictures of them. The victims ranged in age from two years old to 12 years old at the time of the offenses. The exploitation occurred at several locations over a sixyear period of time. Ratigan, at the time a Catholic priest, carried out some of these victimizations in and around a church. Others he carried out in trusted environments under the noses of the victims’ parents. Ratigan was under written contract with his bishop during the time not to have any contact with minors, not to take pictures of minors and not to possess a computer. Ratigan nevertheless had multiple contacts with children, such as attending a St. Patrick’s Day Parade, attending a birthday party for a child at the child’s house and accessing Facebook sites. Ratigan took hundreds, if not thousands, of non-sexual photos of prepubescent girls. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Katharine Fincham. It was investigated by the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department and the FBI Cyber Crimes Task Force. Project Safe Childhood This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Missouri opens season hosting Southeast Missouri State by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist After navigating another long offseason, college football returns in all its glory this weekend. After
months of chatter around the Show-Me State about how the Missouri Tigers will fare this fall, now we get to begin finding out. After back-to-back SEC East Division titles, Missouri
kicks off this season with a home game against Southeast Missouri State (3 p.m. on SEC Network Alternate). This season is the Tigers’ 90th at Faurot Field, and for Missouri fans there is a
Adult Education and Literacy Program in Mtn. View/Birch Tree The Adult Education and Literacy program of Mountain View and Birch Tree celebrated eight students that passed their HiSet exams in 2015. Mountain View classes will be starting on August 12 and Birch Tree classes starting in September if
you are interested in classes, please call Teresa Acord at 417-247-2822 for Mtn. View classes and Becky Colvin at 573-996-6269 for Birch Tree classes. These classes are free of charge to anyone needing to take their HiSet exam (formerly GED), anyone
studying for ACT or SAT exams, or wanting career preparation. We would like to thank the following local businesses for their help with the celebration: Mtn. View Wal-Mart, Mtn. View Town & Country and Mountain View Healthcare.

familiarity to returning to the old bowl each fall. The Tigers should put on a good show for the fans against SEMO, which hails from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) of Division I, which is allowed fewer football scholarships than Missouri’s Football Bowl Subdivision. I’d be fine if Missouri did away with these lopsided games against FCS teams, but if you’re going to have them, I like playing in-state or otherwise close-by FCS teams. If you’re going to pay a lesser football school to come in and lose, at least keep the money in your region, as Missouri is doing this year. Southeast Missouri went 5-7 last year, although the Redhawks nearly beat Kansas last year, falling 3428. The last time Missouri and SEMO played, in 2008, the Tigers defeated the Redhawks 52-3. Overall, Missouri coach Gary Pinkel is 11-0 against FCS teams, winning by an average score of 50-9. So yeah, Truman the Tiger should be ready for plenty of post-touchdown pushups in the end zone. Still this is a real game that counts toward Missouri’s record, and the Tigers will obviously want to put on a good performance to kick off the season. Beyond just the spectacle of the first real game at Faurot in nine months, Tiger fans will have plenty to watch. Missouri fans will want
to see some of those new faces at receiver stepping up and making plays. Missouri has lost a ton of receiver production two years in a row, resulting in a tremendously unexperienced unit and the need for some breakout receivers to emerge. Also, Missouri is replacing a lot of talent on the defensive line, so Tiger fans will want to watch for new playmakers to emerge, whether it’s Charles Harris or another player about whom we know even less. This year, Missouri’s schedule is set up for building momentum, with the games generally building in difficulty throughout
September and into October. Missouri opens with three nonconference games in which it will be a heavy favorite, although the Indiana game last year was an unfortunate reminder upsets can happen. After those three, Missouri opens Southeastern Conference play at Kentucky, and then plays South Carolina and Florida at home. It’s plausible Missouri could be 6-0 heading into a titanic clash with Georgia between the hedges on Oct. 17 in Athens. But the first step is Saturday’s game with SEMO, and the Tigers should be in good shape to start the season off with a win.

Flag Etiquette - The students in 5th grade at Birch Tree Elementary had two United States veterans show them how to correctly fold the United States flag. The students hang the flag every morning at Birch Tree Elementary. At the end of the day they take it down and fold it and put it away.

'Motivation for Motion' course covers biking basics September 9 How Seniors Can Stop Robocalls Dear Savvy Senior, What can I do to stop the perpetual prerecorded robocalls I keep getting? I’m signed up with the National Do Not Call Registry, but it seems like I still get three or four robo telemarketing calls a day offering lower credit card interest rates, medical alert devices and more. Fed Up Senior Dear Fed Up, Millions of Americans on the National Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) complain they still receive unwanted calls from robocallers. Why? Because most robocalls are scams run by con artists who are only trying to trick you out of your money, and they simply ignore the law. But there’s good news on the horizon. A few months ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a rule giving telecommunication companies more leeway to block robocalls. Before this ruling, the FCC has always required phone companies to complete all calls, much in the same way the postal service is required to deliver all your mail, even the junk. So, look for your phone service provider to start offering call-blocking tools in the future. But in the meantime, here are some things you can do to reduce those unwanted calls. Set up “anonymous call rejection” option: This is a free landline-calling feature available from most telephone companies. It lets you screen out calls from callers who have blocked their caller ID information – a favorite tactic of telemarketers. To set it up, you usually have to dial *77 from your landline, though different phone services may have different procedures to set it up. Call your telephone service provider to find out if they offer this feature, and if so, what you need to do to enable it. Sign up for Nomorobo: This is a free service and works only if you have an Internet-based VoIP phone service. It does not work on traditional analog landlines or wireless phones. Nomorobo uses a “simultaneous ring” service that detects and blocks robocalls on a black list of known offender numbers. It isn’t 100 percent foolproof, but it is an extra layer of protection. To sign up, or see if Nomorobo works with your phone service provider, visit Nomorobo.com. Buy a robocall-blocking device: If you don’t mind spending a little money, purchase a call-blocking device like the Sentry 2 ($59) or Digitone Call Blocker Plus ($100), sold at Amazon. com. These small devices, which plug into your phone line allow you to blacklist numbers you no longer wish to receive, and set up a whitelist, or manually program the phone to recognize and accept a certain number of safe numbers. Both devices are very effective. Don’t pick up: If you have a caller ID, another tip is to simply not answer the phone unless you recognize the number. But if you do answer and it’s a robocall, you should just hang up the phone. Don’t press 1 to speak to a live operator and don’t press any other number to complain about the call or get your number off the list. If you respond by pressing any number, you’re signaling that the autodialer has reached a live number and will probably lead to more robocalls. Get a cellphone app: To help with robo telemarketing calls and robo spam texts to your cellphone, get a call-screening app like Truecaller (truecaller.com) or PrivacyStar (privacystar. com) that screens and blocks them. It’s also important that you report illegal robocalls to the Federal Trade Commission at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov or call 888-225-5322, and sign the Consumer Union petition at EndRobocalls.org to pressure phone companies to start offering free call-blocking technology. 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.

Is your morning commute starting to get mundane? It might be time to switch gears and buy a bike. Not only is cycling a cheaper and more environmentally-friendly way to travel, it can also provide great exercise and a front row view of the beauty of the Ozarks. As part of its Motivation for Motion series, Mercy
St. Francis Hospital will host “Biking Basics,” on Wednesday, Sept. 9. It’s the fourth of many group meetings to encourage locals to get back in shape – regardless of age, ability or health condition – by utilizing many of the natural offerings of southwest Missouri. Karla Daffron, Mercy St.
Francis physical therapist, will be the guest speaker at the 1:30 p.m. session. “Bicycling is a great way to stay fit,” Daffron said. “But don’t rush to the store to buy one. You’ll want to do your homework and decide what’s most important: speed, comfort or versatility.” Daffron will offer tips on
how to get started biking, from picking the right size and type to performing maintenance and keeping yourself safe. The free course on Sept. 9 will be held in the Sister’s Dining Room at Mercy St. Francis Hospital at 100 W. US Highway 60. Door prizes and snacks will be provided.

CBCO Blood Drives in Mtn. View, Willow Springs The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) has issued a CODE YELLOW ALERT for A NEGATIVE and AB NEGATIVE blood types. There is currently less than a two-day supply of these blood types available for area patients. Donors are urged to give this week at an area blood drive or CBCO donor center. Donors to Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) provide all of the blood for patients at 39 area hospitals. On average, a transfusion takes place every seven minutes. It takes around 230 donations each day to meet the area’s blood needs. You can help by giving blood at any of the following locations: The Mtn. View Community Center, 125 W 1st Street, Mtn. View, on Friday, September 11 from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The St. Paul Lutheran Church, 701 Main, Willow Springs, on Friday, September 11 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Each donation will be awarded LifePoints as a part of CBCO’s donor rewards program. LifePoints may be redeemed online for a variety of gift cards, or points may be assigned to other meaningful causes or charities. More information on the LifePoints donor rewards program may be found at www.cbco.org. To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID.

and the overload of patients coming to the clinics that are available. A lively discussion followed concerning the expansion of Medicaid coverage and the effect that expansion would have on the hospitals of the area. The second speaker for the evening was Dr. Dalen Duitsman, Director of the Ozark Public Health Institute organized by Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo. Dr. Duitsman spoke about the ongoing SOAR program entitled SOAR High and the work being done for health screenings in area high schools. The study is still underway, but the preliminary report presented statistics on Health Risk Assessments (HRA’s) which were completed during the 2014-2015 School year at 14 schools ineight counties (Carter, Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Shannon, Texas and Wright). A total of 505 students participated. An additional 100-200 students will be tested at area schools before the assessment period
ends in September. The results from each school are reported in aggregate, so that all of the statistics are reflected as group statistics, not individual scores. While complimenting Mary Sheid, former President of SOAR, about the results of this program, Dr. Duitsman strongly suggested that these testings are preliminary and should be the first step in a more comprehensive understanding of the health circumstances of our ten county SOAR area. The meeting was sent out on streaming programs on the internet and comments were received about the "Bright Flight" of the young professionals in our area, these comments were generated from this streaming program. Superintendent of Schools at Houston, Mo. Scott Dill concluded the program with information about the Houston system and the success they have obtained by using the health organizations of the State of Missouri.

MDC hosts effective wing shooting clinic in West Plains The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announces an Effective Wing Shooting Clinic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 19, at the MDC’s West Plains Regional Office at 551 Joe Jones Boulevard. Larry Lindeman, an MDC outdoor skills specialist, said the clinic is designed for experienced shotgun shooters and is not appropriate for beginners. “The overall goal of this program is to prevent wounding loss by having the hunter improve abilities to estimate the appropriate distance between the game and the range of the firearm,”
Lindeman said. He added that considerations are made for the load used and improving overall shooting skills. “Missouri is a great place to hunt and our hunters want to be the best,” Lindeman said. “This clinic helps them meet that goal.” Lindeman said the clinic will begin with a presentation at the Regional Office before the group will relocate to White Ranch Shooting Range to complete the workshop. He said participants should expect skills tests, one-onone instruction, distance estimation exercises and shotgun patterning.
Pre-registration is required for the event by Wednesday, Sept. 16. Participants will need to bring their own shotguns and a sack lunch. Only 12 and 20 gauge shotgun ammunition will be provided and fixed chokes or choke tubes no tighter than modified are suggested. For additional information please contact Larry Lindeman (417) 256-7161 extension 230, or email him at larry.lindeman@mdc.mo.gov.

MO steer feedout can help cattle earn a good reputation; entry deadline Oct. 10 "Reputation cattle" is an often used term in the cattle business. But how do a producer's cattle get a good reputation? "It is not easy, especially if you have a small cow herd, and you're fairly new to the area," said Eldon Cole, livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension. "A reputation herd usually is one with over 150 to 200 breeding females. They sell in large lot sizes and may be a farm or ranch that's been in the business for two or three generations, and are probably branded." Cole says smaller operations are hard pressed to come up with the reputation marketing clout especially if they are just entering the business. However, any quality producer can do a few things that help their cattle develop the right kind of reputation. "The first item is to use outstanding bulls, either naturally or artificially. The traits feedlot buyers would look for are growth and carcass. Some breeds combine these into an index that helps simplify selection," said Cole. Once a genetic breeding program is established a producer will need to test their feeder calves in a commercial feedlot and see how they grow and how the carcasses turn out. "There's a world of average cattle out there, and you should strive to consistently have cattle that are above average in those traits desired by feeder buyers. This means the Expected
Progeny Differences (EPD) should be above average," said Cole. "Obtaining the needed data will require selling to a lot that will share gain and carcass data. That sounds so simple but don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen," said Cole. MISSOURI FEEDOUT The surest way to get that data is to enter a representative sample of calves in a program like the Missouri Steer Feedout. This program is arranged through the University of Missouri Extension regional livestock specialists. Several other states have similar programs under different names. The Missouri program sends steers to feedlots in southwest Iowa where the TriCounty Steer Carcass Futurity, managed by Darrell Busby, collects and analyzes the data. The results may not always be what a producer would think, but the information can be used to make corrections. The next Missouri Steer Feedout is designed for steers born after Jan. 1, 2015 and weighing at least 550 pounds in early November. An entry consists of five head or more, ideally out of a known sire. They should have been weaned 45 days upon delivery. There is no maximum number of steers and the more entries a producer has, the more reliable the data. Missouri has teamed up with the Iowa program since 2001. Producers receive complete individual data on daily gains,
Pasture Walk near Hartville University of Missouri Extension will host a pasture walk at the Graham Whitlow dairy farm near Hartville starting at 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4. The Whitlow Dairy Farm is in its second year of operation in Missouri. The family has started milking 43 Jersey cows. They have also begun development of a pasture system. A second topic that many area
producers are dealing with this year is an overabundance of forage growth. Extension specialists will also lead a discussion covering management considerations for going into fall and winter with high pasture cover. The Whitlow farm is located at 4948 Hwy E or contact the Wright County Extension office at (417) 547-7545 for additional directions.

Rodriguez took an option play and rumbled 44-yards to the one yard line. Orchard punched it in one play later. The wheels completely fell off the wagon for Springfield Catholic in the final minutes of the half, or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that Eagles wide-receiver and defensive back Raider kicked them off. Raider picked off an Irish pass on second down, running it back to the 10-yard line before being tackled. He scored on the next play, taking a pitch from Pruett and running past the defense into the end-zone. Liberty led 42-0 at that point, and made it 49-0 after Raider did it again. On Catholic’s next play from scrimmage, Raider again intercepted a pass, and again raced to the 10 yard line,

The five touchdown second quarter allowed the Eagles to start substituting JV players into the game for the entire second half as the turbo-clock kicked in and shortened the game. Andrew Holden started at quarterback for the Eagles in the final two quarters and played well despite being blitzed heavily by the Catholic defense on Liberty’s first two possessions of the third quarter. To their credit, the JV players on defense put together a nice defensive stand after the Irish drove the ball to the Eagles one-yard line on their first possession of the second half.

difficult for the Eagles offense. The Irish defense stopped the Eagles for no gain on three plays, and Liberty punted from the back of the end zone. That gave the Irish great field position and this time they managed to cross the goal line for the first time and make the score 49-6 Eagles. The turbo clock continued to run, however, and despite another score by the Irish on a 65-yard run from Nick Crites, the Eagles lead was never in any danger. Liberty cruised to a 49-12 victory, and improved to 2-0 as they played their final game against Springfield Catholic for the foreseeable future.
