The Mtn. View City Council approved a paid holiday for city employees during a council meeting held on Monday, Dec. 8. The paid holiday would be for Friday, Dec. 26, 2014, the day after Christmas. City Administrator Mike Wake brought the issue before council as he stated, "Several city employees have asked me if we're going to have the day after Christmas off. If you want my recommendation I would recommend that they work the day after Christmas but I wanted to bring it before you for discussion." Councilman Jeff Wade asked if city employees were limited in what they could do in the winter and if they were all caught up. Wake stated that during the winter months inclement weather is more precedent. "If it's bad weather outside, a cold rainy day, the workers will be inside and there's not much See Council on Page 7

Mtn. View celebrates Christmas with annual parade
Eagles on a roll as Christmas arrives by Brian Ingalls
Mountain View Standard News office@mvstandard.com
Just how good are these guys? The Liberty Eagles boys basketball team went three for three last week by dominating Summersville 6632 on Tuesday, cruising past Eminence 65-52 on Thursday, and out-playing Licking 65-52 on Friday. With their record currently standing at 7-1, only twice in the past ten years has Liberty gotten off to such a fast start to the season: Last year’s team which roared out of the gate 9-0, and six years ago when the Eagles had a similar 7-1 start. Both of those years Liberty finished with 20 wins or more. It was an especially good week for Luke Daniels who averaged 19 points a game including 24 on Friday against the Wildcats. He was helped by several players along the way. Bryan Porter led the team in scoring versus Eminence with 17 points, Corbin Dewick added 14 against Summersville, and Jansen Acklin chipped in with 16 second half points against Licking.
It added up to an Eagles offense that was able to put together some big runs that turbo clocked Summersville in the fourth quarter, pulled away from Eminence with a big third quarter, and scored 46 second half points against Licking. Eagles Head Coach Rob Brown was happy with what he saw, “I felt like we made significant progress as the week went on,” he explained, “Offensively we have been inconsistent since the start of the season, but I thought Friday vs Licking was by far our best execution.” That was especially true in the second half. Liberty came out of the locker room at promptly went on a 9-0 run, thanks to a couple of three point shots by Acklin. Despite 17 points from Lane Duncan and a furious attempt at a comeback, the Wildcats could never catch up. The Eagles held on to a six point lead at the end of the third quarter, and extended that lead to a 13-point victory. Friday's victory improved Liberty's record to 7-1 with a road game against a struggling Alton team last Tuesday. Enjoying a week off from
games before the start of the Cabool Holiday Tournament, the Eagles still have room for improvement. “Defensively we have been very solid from the beginning,” said Coach Brown, “As we go on Christmas break starting Friday, there are a few areas which we must continue to grow: Free Throws, turnovers, and rebounding. If we can improve in those areas we should be pretty tough come February.” The Eagles are looking pretty tough already, as evidenced by
the ease at which they plowed over Summersville at home and Eminence on the road. The Eagles held Summersville to just seven points in the first quarter as Liberty took a 3016 lead. Twenty of Liberty's points came from two players, Daniels (12) and Dewick (8). The Wildcats managed to stay with Liberty in the third quarter, however, as each team scored 16 apiece, but Liberty's defense pitched a shut-out in the fourth and the Eagles ended the game on a 20 point run. Liberty cruised to a 66-32
and the varisty girls won 62-29. The closest game of the night was the varsity boys who had to hold off a couple of comeback attempts by the Redwings. The Eagles jumped out to a 17-6 lead at the end of the first quarter, and led by as much as 20 points during the second quarter before the Redwings cut the lead in half, thanks to Briar Dotson who hit three, 3-point shots before halftime. Liberty was led by Porter who scored 11 first half points. See Basketball on Page 5

By forcing Congress and opened its doors in March the president to re-visit Homeland Security funding early next year, we will put President Obama in the challenging position of 2011 as a nanobrewery, accepting our conservative principles on immigration or vetoing brewing 10 gallons of beer at a time. The brewery was also funding for Homeland Security. It is important that we take this approach because, at the time the first microbrewery in the of this writing, President Obama has not yet issued an executive state of Missouri to can beer on order on immigration; he has just written memos and made site in November 2011 with an public statements. He is certainly preparing to take further action, MC100 two-head Wild Goose and when he does, we will be able to fight it with a larger majority in the US House and the majority in the US Senate. I, along with my staff, read through the entire bill before I voted on it, and there are many provisions that make this a conservative vote. First, the bill stops an automatic pay increase for members of Congress and blocks a pay raise for the Vice President and senior political appointees. Next, it reins in the IRS. The IRS under this administration has been out of control. Whether it was lavish trips funded by tax payers, targeting conservative groups, or Lois Lerner's missing emails, the IRS needs serious oversight and that's what this bill does. It slashes funding by hundreds of millions of dollars and puts the IRS on notice that its actions will not be allowed to continue in the next Congress. The bill also slashes funding for the Environmental Protection Agency and makes it less likely we'll have EPA inspectors show up at our farms and in our businesses. This legislation cuts the EPA by $60 million. This is Congress's fifth consecutive year cutting EPA funds, and the agency has now been slashed over 20 percent. Over 2,000 positions will be eliminated at the EPA, and the EPA will be staffed at the lowest level since 1989. It fights back against environmentalists by placing limits on which new animals can be placed on the Endangered Species Act. It also doesn't allow the Bureau of Land Management to create any new Wilderness Areas without approval from Congress. There are also significant protections in the bill for private property rights. The Army Corps of Engineers will be restricted from regulating farm ponds and irrigation ditches, the EPA will be restricted from regulating gas emissions from livestock, and the National Park Service will have to follow my language that requires them to give more weight to public comments from local communities and businesses on the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The PILT program – or payments in lieu of taxes – that reimburses counties and local governments for federal land in their jurisdiction is also fully funded. This bill protects our constitutional rights. It helps stop the NSA from snooping on Americans’ personal communications. It ensures that federal funds are not spent to provide abortions on demand in the District of Columbia, or for federal prisoners, and requires Obamacare plans to disclose whether they cover abortion services, so that individuals can choose plans that don't cover abortion. Our right to keep and bear arms is protected by preventing federal funds from being spent on anti-gun lobbying and the UN Arms Control Treaty and also preventing the EPA from restricting the lead content in ammunition and fishing tackle. While this bill isn’t perfect, it still reflects many of the priorities of rural America and strengthens conservatives to come back in January in a more powerful position to challenge the president’s unconstitutional actions.
canning machine. Piney River is on track to produce 1,800 barrels of beer in 2014, having produced 1,100 barrels in 2013 and 525 barrels in 2012. The new brew house and cellar will give Piney River the capacity to brew up to 9,000 barrels, with plenty of room for additional growth. The new equipment is slated to come on line by May 2015. "Currently, the demand for Piney River beer is much greater than what we are able to supply," Brian Durham, head brewer and owner, said. Durham explained that retail shelves and distributor warehouses have been low and empty over the last few months because the brewery could not keep up with growing demand. In October 2013 Piney River won a Great American Beer Festival gold for their Old Tom Porter, followed in April by a World Beer Cup gold for their Float Trip Ale. Both beers were seasonal brands until they claimed top accolades in their
style. Currently the brewery is distributed in all of central and southern Missouri and in Arkansas. Distribution is available in Missouri through Bluff City Beer in Cape Girardeau, Poplar Bluff and Herculaneum; Grellner Sales in Rolla, West Plains, Camdenton and Sedalia; Heart of America Beverage in Springfield and Joplin, and NH Scheppers in Jefferson City and Columbia. Glidewell Distributing in Fort Smith distributes Piney River beer throughout the state of Arkansas.
Durham noted that it was important to his distributors that the brewery would remain on the Durham family farm. The original brewery and the tap room are located in a 1940's era restored barn located on the Piney River Farm. When the new production facility is running, the Durham's plan to re-purpose the brewing portion of the current BARn to produce small batch beer, including barrel-aging and sour beer production.

Missouri turn to wood stoves to heat their homes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is targeting wood burning stoves with a regulation that lacks commonsense and threatens jobs. The EPA’s New Source Performance Standards proposal affecting wood stoves takes a harsh, “technology forcing approach” which will eventually render 85 percent of wood burning stoves sold in the U.S. illegal. The EPA expects to finalize this new rule in February 2015. In April, I questioned EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy on this proposal and expressed my frustration with how impractical the proposal is, especially for folks in Southwest Missouri. Southwest Missourians turn to burning wood to heat their homes because wood is readily available, often cheap, and reliable. I support the Wood Stove Regulatory Relief Act that prohibits the EPA from implementing or enforcing any new standards for an eight year period as they relate to wood burning stoves. This latest proposal from the EPA has the potential to cause job losses in the manufacturing sector. Last month, I signed on to a bipartisan, bicameral letter to Administrator McCarthy requesting a longer compliance timeline for their New Source Performance Standards for warm air furnaces. Warm air furnaces are forced-air, wood-fired furnaces Americans are using to heat their homes. The EPA’s proposed rule would prohibit the manufacture or sale of any non-certified warm air furnace within 60 days of the final rule being published in the Federal Register. Manufacturers would have 60 days to completely change their operations when it comes to producing warm air furnaces. At the same time, because the rule prohibits the sale of non-certified models, manufacturers may have to re-purchase the stock that retail stores have already purchased. These manufacturers are often small companies; for many of them the rule will create an insurmountable financial burden, forcing many out of business. This would be needless and when EPA first regulated wood stoves in the 1980’s, it allowed a longer compliance timeline that helped the industry adjust. In the letter, we asked for at least a year for manufacturers to be compliant with this rule. The EPA should not make it harder for families to heat their homes with wood stoves and ban the production of America’s current wood burning stoves. The EPA needs to bring commonsense to its proposals. Taking away a heating source folks in Southwest Missouri use and threatening jobs makes no sense at all.
Giving Hope to Those Who Need it Most
With the successful passage of House Bill 1685 during the 2014 legislative session, Missouri became only the third state to enact Right to Try legislation—allowing terminally ill patients to access investigational drugs that previously were out of reach. Under HB 1685, manufacturers are legally allowed, though not required, to make available an investigational drug, biological product or device to certain terminally ill patients. To be eligible, a terminally ill patient must have: - Considered all other treatment options approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration; - Received a prescription or recommendation from his or her doctor; and - Given his or her written informed consent for the use of the drug, product or device. While the Food and Drug Administration already has a process for patients suffering from serious and immediately lifethreating illnesses to procure investigational therapies, the path to treatment is difficult with numerous hurdles to overcome. Most of these patients simply do not have the luxury of time. They need options, and they need them sooner rather than later. The Food and Drug Administration generally requires at least three clinical trials before a drug is granted final approval and made available to patients for general use. House Bill 1685 makes it so that those terminally ill individuals who have exhausted all other possible options may access an investigational treatment after it has successfully completed phase one of clinical trials. House Bill 1685 received overwhelming support in both chambers and from members on both sides of the aisle. In addition to Missouri, four other states have passed similar Right to Try laws: Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan and Arizona. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol; however, during interim, I may be in the district. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

Basketball Daniels added eight more, while Acklin and Noble scored six points apiece. Acklin also erupted for 11 second half points as Liberty outscored the Redwings 16-6 for another 20-point lead by the end of the third quarter. But just as they had in the first half, Eminence came back, this time scoring 24 fourth quarter points to cut the lead in half again. It just wasn't enough as the Eagles held on for a 65-52 victory. Liberty's final game of the week came at home as the Lane Duncan and the Licking Wildcats came to town. The difference between the first half and the second was stark. Despite the scoring from the previous two games, or Duncan's ability to make shots from all over the court, neither team could find any offense in the first half. Liberty led 9-8 after the first quarter, and just 19-17 at halftime. Missed shots and missed three pointers were the norm in the first two quarters, but in the second half, all that changed. Liberty started with two 3-point shots from Acklin, but after falling behind 28-17, Licking started to catch fire as well. Dillon Smith hit a three pointer and Nathan Wilson added another basket as the Wildcats kept pace. Midway through the third,

"This makes six people arrested for three burglaries in the last three weeks, four in which were on foot.

"We urge citizens that if you see someone acting suspicious in your neighborhood to please call the station at 417-934-2525 or dial 911. With the holidays upon us and many people who will be travelling, please notify the law enforcement in your area for extra patrol, and leave a number to call in case of an emergency."
From Page Two Liberty continued to lead 33-24 but couldn't pull away. A three point shot by Aaron Wilson and another from Mason Porter, plus baskets from Duncan pulled the Wilcats within six, 43-37 as the fourth quarter started. For the next six minutes, the lead stayed at six points as the Eagles and the Wildcats traded baskets and three pointers. It wasn't until Porter got his first points of the night by sinking two foul shots with just two minutes left, that Liberty began to pull away. In those last two minutes, Eagles defense began to shut
the Wildcats down and Dewick, who had all 10 of his points in the second half, iced the game with two key baskets. Liberty pulled away despite a full-court press from Licking, and took a 65-52 victory.

Thank You
Perhaps you sent a lovely card, Or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, If so we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, As any friend could say; Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part.

for them to do inside. They are limited in what they can do in the winter months. Their jobs are more outside." Councilman Larry David brought up the fact that even if they get a paid day off if there is an emergency city employees will still be called out to work. Debate continued as Councilman Paul O'Brien stated that county and state offices will not be closed the day after Christmas. Wake added that county and state offices get 12 paid holidays where the City of Mtn. View only gets 8 paid holidays for their employees. Wake commented that "this is not an every year occurrence" that city employees will get the day after Christmas off paid. When this happens again in the next two to four years the issue will once again be brought before council to deliberate. Councilman Larry David made the motion to give the city employees a paid holiday on Friday, Dec. 26, 2014. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jeff Wade with an all in favor vote. Council also discussed brush pick-up issues during the meeting. Paul Marriott stated this past November's
brush pick-up was a big, big pick up with a couple dozen of violations. Last year council voted that they could charge for excess brush. "November pick-up isn't much. I've pretty much got the town cleaned up. This would however be a good time to start enforcing the excess brush charge for the January brush pick-up. Marriott went on to explain to council that a pickup will hold around 72 cubic feet. "Our brush truck holds 360 cubic feet. During pick-ups we are getting as much as two or three truck loads off of one yard. If this gets in the ditches and it's out there very long it starts collecting debris and it gets in the ditches and gutters. This is a problem that we have all over town." Marriott stated that he is not going to be "nit picky" about what a pickup load is in concerns with enforcing an excess brush charge. "My main concern is the ditches and keeping them clean and clear." Council decided to place notices in the paper clearly stating what the requirements are for brush pick-ups for the City of Mtn. View. The next brush pick-up will be January 26, 2015. In other council news, the
consent agenda consisting of approval of payment of bills, city administrator report, monthly department reports, city council meeting minutes and advisory boards meeting minutes was approved with a motion made by Councilman Jeff Wade, seconded by Councilman Paul O’Brien.

Missouri faces Illinois in annual Braggin’ Rights game 'A Place In The Christmas Choir' performed at MVE by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist For Missouri Tiger fans, certain events are associated with different parts of the calendar. March is for basketball tournaments, conference and hopefully NCAA; August is excitement for the football season about to begin; and October brings the traditions of Homecoming. And every year, a few days before Christmas comes the annual Braggin’ Rights game with Illinois in St. Louis. It’s a fantastic atmosphere, with the crowd split between Tiger and Illini fans taking turns rocking the arena depending on which team is making a run. The tradition is renewed this Saturday (1 p.m. on ESPN2). The Braggin’ Rights game comes at a good time for Tiger fans, as this season is still the very early stages of a rebuilding project under first-year coach Kim Anderson. Anderson, who played for Missouri under Norm Stewart in the 1970s and coached Central Missouri to a national championship last season, can coach. But he inherited an inexperienced team and a program that had been moving in the wrong direction. The Tigers are 5-5, lost their season opener to the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and have been beaten soundly in games against major conference competition. The trend continued last Saturday as Missouri lost 7458 at home to Xavier (8-2).
Despite a Saturday afternoon start time against a Big East opponent, Mizzou Arena was barely half full. That’s a reflection of Missouri’s shift to being a football school, but surely also of this team’s struggles. The game was close with about 10 minutes to go. But then Xavier shifted into another gear and pulled away. Still, I saw some reasons for optimism in the game for Missouri. The Tigers are not good right now, but they have an intriguing core of freshmen and sophomores. Freshman Montaque GillCaesar had a rough game against Xavier, but he has shown flashed of scoring ability. Sophomore Johnathan Williams III had 17 points and nine rebounds against the Musketeers. Freshman Jakeenan Gant, playing in his first game this season after being ineligible, scored 13 points off the bench and blocked two shots. These young Tigers will have to show poise on Saturday in a raucous atmosphere against a quality opponent. Illinois (7-3 through Sunday) has notched a win over Baylor, but lost three of its last four through Sunday to Miami, Villanova and Oregon. In a development you don’t see every day, the Illini are led in rebounding by a 6-foot-4 guard, senior Rayvonte Rice. Rice also leads the team in scoring with 17.8 points per game. Sophomore Malcolm Hill is second on the team in scoring and rebounding. Hill is a big guard who could be a tough matchup defensively. Illinois leads the series with Missouri 28-16 overall and 2112 since the event became a neutral-site game in St. Louis in 1980. Last year’s Illinois win broke a streak of four straight Missouri wins in the Braggin’ Rights game. Missouri will be the underdog on Saturday, but a win in this rivalry game would be a huge boost of momentum for the program.

Provide a miracle for area patients during 20th annual Miracle of Giving Blood Drive Who Should Be Screened for Lung Cancer? Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about lung cancer screenings? My husband was a long-time smoker, but quit many years ago, so I’m wondering if he should be checked out. Concerned Spouse Dear Concerned, According to recent recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force – an independent panel of medical experts that advises the government on health policies – if your husband is between the ages of 55 and 80, is a current smoker or quit within the last 15 years, and has a smoking history of at least 30 pack-years, he’s at high risk for lung cancer and should talk to his doctor about getting screened. Pack years are determined by multiplying the number of packs he smoked daily by the number of years he smoked. You’ll also be happy to know that lung cancer screenings – which are recommended annually to those at risk – will be covered by all private health insurance plans starting in 2015, and Medicare is expected to begin coverage this February or March. The Medicare screening, however, will only cover high-risk beneficiaries through age 74. Lung cancer kills around 160,000 Americans each year making it the most deadly of all possible cancers. In fact, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. Lung cancer also occurs predominantly in older adults. About two out of every three people diagnosed with lung cancer are 65 or older, and the risk of lung cancer peaks at age 71. Lung Cancer Screening The goal of annual screenings is to detect cancer early before symptoms appear, so it can be cured. The fiveyear survival rate among people with lung cancer when it’s caught in its earliest stage is 77 percent, versus only 4 to 25 percent for people whose cancer has spread. To get screened for lung cancer, your husband will need a low-dose computed tomography (CT) chest scan, which is a painless, noninvasive test that generates detailed three-dimensional images of his lungs. For the screening, he will be asked to lie on a table that slides through the center of a large, doughnut shaped scanner that rotates around him to take images. Each scan takes just a few seconds, during which time he’ll be asked to hold his breath, because movement can produce blurred images. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes from start to finish. You also need to be aware that a lung CT screening has its downsides. First, it exposes you to some radiation – about the same as a mammography but more that of a chest X-ray. Lung CT screenings aren’t foolproof either. They can produce a high rate of false-positive results, which means they frequently detect small spots (abnormalities) on the lungs that are suggestive of cancer but aren’t cancerous. These false alarms lead to more testing and sometimes lung biopsies, as well as unnecessary worry and anxiety. Prevention Because smoking causes 80 to 90 percent of all lung cancer cases, the best way to avoid lung cancer is to not smoke, and if you do smoke, quit. Even if you’ve been a smoker for a long time, quitting now still decreases your risk. Other factors that can increase the risk of lung cancer include exposure to secondhand smoke, radon, asbestos and other toxic chemicals or fumes. For more information on lung cancer screenings, call the American Lung Association at 800-586-4872, or use their online tool (LungCancerScreeningSavesLives.org), which will help you determine if your husband needs to be screened.

OMC's 25th annual Lights of Life to help others campaign The Ozarks Medical Center Lights of Life Christmas tree is now shining as a tribute in honor and memory of hundreds of individuals after the 25th annual community tree lighting ceremony on Dec 2. The OMC Foundation Lights of Life campaign gives area residents an opportunity to honor and remember their loved ones by sponsoring a tree light for $10 or a tree ornament for $25. To date, the campaign has raised $6,320 in 2014 and will continue through Jan. 1. The tree and the list of those

Dr. Holloway spoke about how throughout all the changes in medicine, the personal touch and the compassionate care is what continues to make a difference in people's lives. "While a lot of attention has been directed at satisfying external monitoring agencies, important as they are, what

really counts is the patient we encounter, every time," he said. "What really counts is the young couple on the most important day of their lives, who entrusts us with that brand new baby girl. What really counts is the 85-year-old man sitting alone in a quiet room while his wife of 65 years lies sleeping in a hospital bed. He realizes that for those 65 years he's not spent more than 10 nights away from her side. He sits and thinks about the conversation he just had with her doctor. He was told that he would likely tonight and forever be going home without her, alone. He wonders: 'Will she hurt? Who and how will they take care of her until then? Who will care for him?' He wonders. That is what we do. That's what's really important. And we need to and do continue to ask the question, 'How can we do it better?' They deserve it," Holloway said. Chosen to light this year's tree were Tommy, Ethan and Kennedi Keller, who are the children of OMC President and CEO Tom Keller and his wife, Patty. Also at the Lights of Life ceremony, Keller gave the closing remarks. The invocation was provided by Marie Whiteside, OMC Volunteer Co-Chaplain of the Year for 2014. The Swing Set, a special group from the West Plains High School Concert Choir, performed a variety of holiday favorites. The group is under the direction of Kelly Dame.

Special Pre-Vac Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 12/05/2014 Receipts: 3956 Year Ago: No Sale Due To Weather With no recent special pre-vaccination sale for price comparison, compared to Tuesday's regular feeder sale, 400-700 lb steers and 350650 lb heifers were 3.00-12.00 higher with some spots as much as 20.00 higher. Heavier weights were steady to weak. Demand was very good early in the sale but tapered off slightly as falling prices on the board got buyer's phones to ringing. One buyer began the day with the intent to fill two pot loads but received a call to back it off to one. With reduced orders, buyers were more selective on what lots they would flash their cards, but were willing to pay the price for calves in the right condition. The offering consisted of calves that were vaccinated and for the most part weaned. The supply was moderated and was affected by the sometimes heavy rain throughout the day. The supply consisted of 62 percent steers, less than 1 percent bulls and 37 percent heifers. More than 67 percent of the offering weighed over 600 lbs.

Feeder heifers less than 600 lbs were 7.00-10.00 higher. Feeder steers and heifers over 600 lbs were 3.00-10.00 lower with most of the decline on heavier weight heifers. Demand was good on a moderate supply of single and small packaged offerings. Early sales were sluggish, following a day when the cattle futures closed down the limit. As the sale advanced and the futures showed some positive progress, trade became more active especially on the lighter weight feeders. The supply consisted of 51 percent steers, 8 percent bulls and 42 percent heifers with over 30 percent of the offering exceeding 600 lbs.

MDC habitat calendar has 12 months of management tips With this calendar forget seasonal steps to better wildlife habitat One challenge for busy landowners who want to increase quail and other grassland wildlife is keeping track of seasonal management needs. When should you delay haying because chicks are hatching? When do you burn, plant, spray and disk? The answers to those and many other questions about grassland wildlife management are found in the Quail and Habitat Management 2015 Calendar from the Missouri Department of Conservation. The wall calendar has daily notes to help landowners meet their wildlife management goals. It notes key events, such as the start of quail nesting season, average dates of first and second brood hatches and other important milestones in the bobwhite quail’s year. Also included are reminders about the best times for management activities, such as planting food plots and the last day for managing fields enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program. The calendar has tips for easy habitat creation, ranging from placing old Christmas trees near existing brush piles in January to sowing wildflower seeds atop newly fallen snow in December. Added features include notes about forming a quail management cooperative, quality deer management, prescribed burning, and additional sources of habitat management information. Wildlife illustrations by Conservation Department artists accompany each monthly page. To receive a free copy of the calendar, call the nearest Conservation Department office and ask to speak to a private land conservationist, or visit mdcmo.gov to find the nearest office.

Missouri Farm Bureau adopts policy positions and celebrates 100 years As the nation’s first and oldest state farm organization, Missouri Farm Bureau celebrated at its 100th annual meeting and conducted the more serious business of determining national and state policies for 2015. Almost 1500 members representing Missouri’s 113 county Farm Bureaus attended the meeting at the Lake of the Ozarks this week. “Agriculture and Missouri Farm Bureau have experienced many challenges and successes over the past 100 years. Safer food, better nutrition, and increased life expectancy are just a few of the advances our society enjoys today much to the credit of the American farmer,” said Blake Hurst, president of Missouri Farm Bureau. Voting delegates at this year’s annual meeting reviewed, discussed and approved policy positions on state and national issues. Most policy positions are long-standing, but several are new. Some of the major issues which Missouri Farm Bureau (MFB) will be working on for 2015 include the following: • Reducing the current 1% cap on foreign ownership of Missouri farmland to .5%: Dating back to the 1970s, MFB has supported the state law prohibiting foreign ownership of Missouri farmland. In 2013 the Missouri General Assembly changed the law to allow 1% foreign ownership, but MFB members believe the limit should be reduced in half if complete prohibition cannot be accomplished. • Continuing to push back against the aggressive regulatory agenda pursued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal and state agencies: MFB renewed its call for the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers to pull their proposed Waters of the U.S. rule and refrain from pursuing any other rulemaking that expands the reach of the Clean Water Act. • Supporting the development of a new voluntary Missouri beef checkoff but opposing a second USDA beef checkoff: MFB supports the existing national beef checkoff program and favors the development of a new voluntary Missouri beef checkoff but opposes Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack’s proposal for a second national beef checkoff. • Increasing funding for Missouri’s highways and bridges: Even though voters did not approve the 1-cent sales tax for transportation, MFB still believes more funding is needed and is open to new ideas that would meet voter approval. MFB also supports increasing the Highway Commission membership from 6 to 8. • Increasing scrutiny of rails-to-trails proposals: Current MFB policy opposing the proposed Rock Island trail was strengthened to require notification of affected landowners, a public comment period, approval by local governing bodies, and a trail suitability analysis by federal officials to assess potential impacts on safety, health, privacy, biosecurity, and food security. MFB further opposes the use of state and federal tax dollars for development. • Protecting farmers’ and landowners’ information: MFB believes information reported by farmers to government agencies as a result of mandatory federal or state requirements should remain confidential. While members are interested in the use of unmanned aerial systems (drones) for agricultural purposes, it is clear they are concerned about governmental aerial surveillance. • Requiring voter renewal of the 1/8-cent conservation sales tax: MFB policy supports placing renewal of the 1/8cent sales tax earmarked for the Conservation Department on the ballot every 10 years similar to the 1/10-cent soils and parks sales tax. MFB also supports increasing the number of Conservation Commission members from 4 to 6. • Changing term limits and campaign reform: Currently, a Missouri legislator can only serve 8 years in the House of Representatives and another 8 years in the Senate, for a total of 16 years. MFB supports allowing a total of 16 years, even if the service is in just one of the two legislative chambers. MFB also supports comprehensive campaign reform that includes limits on contributions. • Prohibiting states from imposing production standards for reasons other than food safety or animal/plant health that apply to other states’ agricultural products: A court challenge to California’s egg law filed earlier this year by Missouri and five other states was dismissed. MFB supports federal legislation to keep states from enacting such laws. • Addressing health care needs in rural areas: While MFB continues to believe the Affordable Care Act should be repealed and policies pursued at the state and federal levels that maintain health care choices, contain costs and eliminate unnecessary government regulations, MFB also believes federal and/or state health care programs should be modified to focus on rural health care needs.
