County Clerk reports overspending
BY AMY ENGLAND

Several
Crawford
County
elected officials approached the
commission last week to ask about
potential raises for county employees. During the ensuing discus-
sion, including how to make funds
available for increased pay to
county workers, officials were
shocked to hear from County Clerk
John Martin that the county had
spent a large sum of surplus
funds—nearly $2.5 million dollars—before he came into office.
However, Martin later reported to
Three Rivers Publishing that the
figure he mentioned was “hearsay”
but he was too busy to put forward
an accurate number.
County Assessor Kerry Summers kicked off the discussion
about employee pay raises at the
CHIPMAN
TOURS
STEELVILLE MANUFACTURING - Missouri Representative
Jason Chipman (left)
visited
Steelville
Manufacturing on
Monday. John Bell
(right), Vice President of Engineering
at the company, led
him on a tour of the
local plant. Chipman
is currently traveling
to different businesses within his district to get a better
idea of what is offered in the region
and how he can assist in promoting
these local organizations. “People don’t
realize what we have
here,” he remarked
after the tour. “Part
of my job is to promote the area, and I need to see it to do that.” He noted his main goal in visiting various companies
is to ask them what he can do to help them grow their businesses. Steelville Manufacturing Company was started
in 1959 and is a contract machine shop specializing in milling, turning, and waterjet cutting. In 1966, Steelville Manufacturing was approved to work for McDonnell Aircraft Company. As of January 1993, the company became a Preferred Supplier to McDonnell Douglas and has continued this relationship with Boeing.The company has been owned
and operated by the Bell family since 1979, and currently employs about 135 people.
August 25 meeting, noting that
conversation is usually put off and
not discussed as annual budgets
are created.
“I’d like to know: Has there been
any discussion on helping employees?” he asked the commission. He
continued, “Most of the time, when
I lose an employee, it’s because
they can go to another job with
much less responsibility for more
money.”
Martin reported he’d done a
rough count of office employees
within the county (excluding road
crews and the sheriff’s department), and he came up with
around 50 workers. He noted a 25cent raise per hour would mean an
increase in payroll costs of about
$25,000, not a “monumental sum”
but enough to need careful consideration in a budget as tight as that
currently in place within the
county.
He expressed the opinion that
raises were possible, especially
since the county would not be
spending as much on office supplies—with many aspects of county
work now being completed in an
electronic format.
“It can be done,” Martin said.
“I’m all for it. I like keeping employees happy, because they do
good work.”
Summers added he was hopeful
office holders who were serious
about helping the employees would
look carefully at their own portions
of the county budget, to see where

• Overspending cited as cause for budget concerns by Crawford County Clerk John Martin at commission meeting
Continued from 1A
potential cuts could be made. “I believe there’s not a budget that
can’t be trimmed a little bit,” he
said.
Presiding Commissioner Leo
Sanders agreed, “That’s what
needs to be done.” He also pointed
out that employees sometimes
don’t consider the costs involved in
health insurance and workers’
compensation claims, and how
that can cut into funds that could
be used for increased pay.
The office holders present
pointed out they realized it wasn’t
that commissioners didn’t want
employees to get raises, but noted
increased pay was very important
as a way of showing appreciation
to those who work for the county.
“Our employees are our biggest
asset, and without them, we don’t
function,” Recorder of Deeds Kim
Cook said.
“Any token of appreciation is
warranted,” Public Administrator
Franky Todd added.
Sanders pointed out the responsibility for making the raises happen essentially falls back on the
office holders. “Show John (Martin) as the budget officer that it
can be done,” he said. “Basically,
tighten the belt.”
Summers agreed, “We should
all be in this boat together,” he
said. “But if we don’t have you
guys willing to support it, we won’t
get anywhere.”
After some discussion on potential areas to cut the county budget,
Summers asked, “What do our finances actually look like?”
Sanders reported sales tax income
had been up and down over the
course of the year, and Martin
stated it was currently up by .2
percent over last year.
“What are you forecasting for
the end-of-year balance?” Summers asked.
Martin replied, “We’ll have to go
borrow. That was clear when we
made the budget.” As far as how
much the county would need, he
said they wouldn’t know until the
end of September.
District
#2
Commissioner
Kenny Killeen also pointed out
they’d need to know the final numbers of the office budgets, too. Martin added the county was well
below budget on expenditures.
“Office holders are doing very
well,” Sanders said, but he noted
some have been known to spend
more at the end of the year simply
because money is available in their
budget.
Martin reiterated, “We have
budgeted for a good chunk of
money that needs to be borrowed.
He then added, “When Connie
(Smith—the county clerk prior to
Mardy Leathers, who was in office
for one term before Martin) left office, there was a surplus of just
over $2 million. Last year, we were
behind by $410,000.”
Summers immediately questioned those numbers. “We’re talking $2.4 million in four years,” he
said. “Where did it go?”
Martin replied it was “just
spent” on things like “cars and
desks.”
Summers questioned again,
“$2.4 million, just spent?” and
Martin replied, “Yes.”
County Collector Pat Schwent
interjected, “That sounds like an
awfully lot, guys.”
Martin acknowledged he could
be wrong on the $2 million, and
added, “I don’t know. I wasn’t
here. The point is, there is a hole
we’re digging out of.”
When Summers asked about an
explanation for the spending of $2
million, Martin invited him to
“come on over and look.”
Sanders noted, “I would like to
have the explanation. Everyone
was within budget as far as I
know.”
Martin stated there wasn’t a
concern of misappropriation as far
as he knew. “It was budgeted and
spent,” he said. He reported
budget expenditures had been in-
creased over the years as people
requested more things and they
were allocated for in the budgets.
Sanders questioned increases of
that magnitude, reporting he recalled conservative budgeting.
“I’m saying things got budgeted,” Martin reiterated. “Out of
my office budget, I must have cut
$25,000 in travel expenses. I’m not
going anywhere. Things like that
got added in over the years.”
Because of the questions on the
budget, Sanders interjected, “Before this commission makes any
kind of loan, we will have to be
showed (why it’s necessary).”
“You were showed in the
budget,” Martin replied. “If you
have another year in the red, the
state will come down on you.”
“I always said, ‘We didn’t get
this way overnight,’ but maybe we
did,” Summers remarked.
“Not overnight. But how many
cars were bought? Electronics
packages? Desks?
I’m not sure why I’m the bad
guy here. I wasn’t here,” Martin
said.
Cook asked what the county
had in capital improvement funds,
and Martin replied, “Nothing.”
Sanders countered that response
with an exact figure, close to
$172,000. He also pointed out
those funds can be used up quickly

Ozark Trail Blazers
Editor’s note: In 1991, former
Steelville Star Editor Ava Viehman
wrote a news story about the 25th anniversary of the Ozark Trail Blazers
rodeo. In that article, she reported on
the history of the organization. We
are using excerpts of that piece here
in addition to current information on
the Trail Blazers.
In 1960, there were a lot of people
who wanted a saddle club in the
area, and that spring the Ozark
Trail Blazers were organized. The
first meeting was held at the Cherryville School cafeteria. There were
about 100 members at the onset and
Bob Cottrell was elected president,
an office he has held for 20 years.
In a year or so, they bought the
land south of town from Ralph Dulany where the present facility is located. The members were full of
enthusiasm, holding two trail rides
each month in addition to their
monthly business meeting, and
cleaning the grape rows from the
land they had purchased.
In 1965, they decided to have a
rodeo. Stock for the rodeo was provided by Dale Esther, Rawhide
Rodeo Company of Lebanon. Admis-
Advance tickets may be
purchased in Steelville at
First Community National
Bank, Peoples Bank, Flint’s
Country Store, Randy’s
Tire & Auto, L & J Package
Store, and On the Run. In
Cuba, tickets can be found
at Peoples Bank, First
Community National Bank,
and Jim’s Motors. Tickets
are also available at Bowers & Cottrells General
Store in Cherryville. For
sion was one dollar for adults, and
children ages 12 and under were admitted free. Making a special appearance that year was the Adams
Six-Pony Hitch Team.
The rodeo featured a wild horse
race, open barrel racing, bareback
bronc riding, calf roping, steer
wrestling, and Brahma bull riding.
The program has pretty much remained the same over the years with
team calf roping and a wild cow race
added in later years as well as a calf
scramble for the kids. A horseshoepitching contest was added also.
The second rodeo was held in 1966
with the same stock supplier. The
Barry County Sheriff’s Posse from
Cassville was so popular that they
returned as guests for several years.
The club added 20 new sections of
bleachers since they had such a big
crowd the first year. This was a good
idea because the second year there
were about 5,000 attending the Saturday night rodeo.
After two amateur rodeos, they
held their first IPRA Rodeo in 1967.
Bob Cottrell was still president,
Chester Brown was vice president,
Joe Alexander was secretary/treasurer, Connie Sue Alexander was

the animals be maintained.

food committee were Marvin Dicus
and Alma Jean Brown. M.R. Cape,
John Brown, Jim Cottrell, Arnold
Abney, Bill Lea, and Bill Bouse were
on the board of directors. There were
59 members in the club.
Today, the saddle club not only
continues the tradition of providing
a quality rodeo each year, it also
sponsors other activities. Fun shows
are scheduled this year for 2 p.m. on
August 30, September 27, and October 25. These offer all ages a chance
to compete in a variety of fun and
challenging events. The Trail Blazers will also host a pulling contest on
September 26, beginning at 6:30
p.m. And there will be a trail ride,
usually at Dillard Mill, sometime
this fall.
The organization is always looking for new members and volunteers.
Interested parties can contact Connie Cape at 743-3615.
Currently Jim Cottrell is president, Dillon Parry is vice president,
and Connie Cape is secretary/treasurer. The board also includes Jerry

• Volner threatens to kill Crawford County jail officers after drug arrest
Continued from 1A
sion to search his vehicle,
Volner told the officer he
could only look through the
windows. While doing so,
the officer saw an empty,
white Bic pen tube lying on
the front passenger seat.
Knowing those are often
used to inhale drugs, the officer asked Volner to open
the door. When he did, the
officer retrieved the tube
and saw a small, open bag
next to it. Inside the bag
was another pen tube containing a white residue.
Volner allegedly denied
knowing who the items belonged to or what they were
used for.
After finding the drug
paraphernalia, the officer
looked in the center console
of the car and found a container holding two round,
orange pills and one round,
blue pill. Again, Volner said
he didn’t know whose they
were. Police also found another container holding
small squares of paper, and
believing they were the
kind used to ingest LSD,
tested them and received a
positive result for LSD.
Volner was arrested and
taken to the Crawford
County Jail. As he was
being dressed out, the jail
officer heard a noise when
Volner put his shorts on the
floor. He asked Volner to
step to the back of the room
in order to safely retrieve
the clothing, and reported
Volner became very agitated, both verbally and
physically, drawing his fists
back in a threatening manner twice.
The jail officer reported
Volner threatened him several times as he was repeatedly asked to step away
from the clothes. The officer
drew his taser and again
asked Volner to step back,
but
Volner
allegedly
replied, “Tase me.” The officer told Volner he wouldn’t
ask again, and Volner simply stood in place with his
fists clenched, staring at
the officer.
The officer deployed his
taser cartridge, and when
Volner dropped to the floor,
he appeared to be trying to
pull his shorts toward him
with his feet. His foot
knocked an orange Orionbrand flare gun into view.
It had been modified and
was loaded with a two-inch
12-guage buckshot shell.
The gun was fully cocked.
While lying on the floor,
and after he got up, he allegedly told the jail officer
several times that he could
have killed him, and should
have used the gun on him.
Volner said he was only 20
years old, would just get 25
years to life for killing the
officer, and be out of jail in
eight years. He also threatened the officer several
more times, telling the officer he’d remember him and
that the officer had better
watch out because he was
coming for him.
The probable cause
statement on file with the
two charges for tampering
with a witness reports that
Volner threatened two
deputies after a warrant
was read to him on August
21.
Volner allegedly made
several statements saying
that one of the officers had
better get the charges
dropped or he would follow
him home, put a bullet in
the back of his head, and
kill his family. He told the
other officer if he didn’t get
the charges dropped he
would kill him, too.
The report states the
threats were made after
Volner was informed of the
charges of assault of a law
enforcement officer as a result of the modified gun and
threats. Volner allegedly
made other threats to that
officer both verbally and on
the door of Holding Cell 4
as well as to other officers
in the jail.
if a large repair is needed, especially to county facilities.
“The bottom line is, we’re all in
this together and we all need to
work on it together,” Sanders concluded.
Summers added, “We need to
keep an eye on things if we stand
here and say we’re at a deficit
when we had that kind of surplus.”
Scwhent said, “That blows my
mind. I remember commission
meetings when (Ed) Worley (previous Presiding Commissioner) and
Connie were in (office) that we
fought for pay raises. From my accounting point, this doesn’t make
sense.”
Sanders noted the county had
been through several audits and
nothing had been reported as inappropriate.
“If it had been budgeted, it was
not mishandled,” Summers noted.
After the conclusion of the meeting, Martin called the Steelville
Star office to report the $2.2 million figure was a hearsay number
but that there had been a surplus
in funds, then last year the county
“came up short.”
When asked for an accurate
number, Martin replied Three
Rivers Publishing could come to
his office and look at the books. “I
don’t have time to pilfer through
nine years of budgets,” he said.

Rosati murder suspect pleads
guilty to burglary charge
BY CHRIS DANIELS
[email protected]
Chelsea Lynn Maxfield pleaded guilty to
first-degree burglary last week, but will
avoid murder and assault charges relating
into a shooting incident last year. Maxfield
pled guilty of the Class B felony on August
12 in Dent County Circuit Court, where the
case was moved on a change of venue from
Crawford County.
Charges stem from an incident on April
23, 2014 near Rosati when Herman Ilges,
58, was found dead at a residence in the 200
block of Piazza Road. Dean C. Groh, 53, who
was staying at the residence was also injured. Groh died on June 29, 2014 from an
unrelated health condition.
Following Maxfield pleading guilty to the
burglary charge, the prosecution entered a
“nolle prosequi” to two other charges against
her, first degree murder and first-degree assault, dropping those charges.
A sentencing hearing for Maxfield is
scheduled for September 8 in Crawford
County Circuit Court in Steelville. This also
changes a jury trial, which was set to take
place from August 31 to September 2, which
will no longer take place. 42nd Circuit Judge
Sidney T. Pearson III, who is presiding over
the case, will also oversee the sentencing
hearing.
Class B felonies carry a sentencing of no
less than five years and no more than 15
years.
The trial of Oryon Dain Guinn, of St.
James, who was also charged in connection
with the shooting incident, will take place
the week of September 14. Guinn’s case also
was moved to Dent County on a change of
venue. Guinn faces charges of first-degree
murder, armed criminal action, first-degree
burglary, first-degree assault, and unlawful
possession of a firearm.
According to court documents, Groh contacted the police about the shooting and
identified the subjects. Guinn and Maxfield
were later arrested by the St. James Police
Department in the La Cabana parking lot.
A weapon, which is believed to have been
used in the shooting, was also found.

OPINION
September 2, 2015
Guest Columnist
Open meetings
law needs clarity
By Jim Robertson
President
Missouri Press Association
A Columbia Tribune report last month
described a tug of war for emails among
supporters of opposing Republican candidates for attorney general in 2016. At the
center of the contest is the University of
Missouri, the employer of Josh Hawley, a
faculty member with the MU School of
Law, who wants to be Missouri attorney
general.
Hawley’s primary opponent is Missouri
Sen. Kurt Schaefer of Columbia. Allies of
Schaefer, suspecting Hawley received preferential treatment by his employer, the
state university, requested all of the prof’s
MU email correspondence during a certain
period. A counter request by Hawley’s supporters, who suspect Schaefer of attempting to improperly influence university
officials, made for an interesting report by
the Tribune’s Rudi Keller.
The university’s response was instructive. A UM legal adviser interprets the
Sunshine Law as exempting personal email
correspondence even if it is created and retained on a public governmental body’s system. Such an exemption does not exist in
the law, says MPA’s expert Jean Maneke.
Meanwhile, the Schaefer ally who requested the emails also asked for additional documents that include Hawley’s
expense records and any complaints lodged
against the MU professor. The university
says it has identified 3,500 documents responsive to the request and has charged
the requestor $5,000 so far.
Two observations that deserve thought
by MPA members as the 2016 election season approaches: The Missouri Open Meetings and Records law needs clarity on the
issue of emails and other electronic correspondence such as text messages.
A lawsuit could possibly settle the question of personal emails, but that would be
an expensive and unnecessarily adversarial solution. An opinion by the Missouri attorney general might be helpful, but don’t
hold your breath. A legislative mandate
would remove the doubt.
And while it’s at it, the legislature
should look at the cost of acquiring public
records. For example, is $5,000 a reasonable amount to charge for documents that
are supposed to be open and available to
the public? That openness — transparency
— is meant to allow the public to achieve a
greater understanding of the workings of
government as well as to perform an important watchdog role. Placing a financial
barrier across access to such documents
makes a sham of the law.
It doesn’t have to work that way. Several
states offer free access to public documents
with a generous limit on copies. That
would more closely represent real transparency.
Absent that, the legislature could help by
truly defining reasonable costs, including a
clarification that public bodies have the responsibility and must bear the cost of reviewing records for exempt content.
These reforms are important not only because the Sunshine Law is a crucial tool for
newsgathering, but also because the public
— our readers — deserves access to public
documents that is as unfettered as possible.

Your Thoughts
Our costs will
always be higher
I have been a member of
the Phelps County Sewer
District #4 for about two
years. When I became a
member, I was told that at
the beginning two companies
were asked for bids to take
care of the maintenance and
repairs. Don Holt’s bid was
higher than the winning bid
submitted by Dusty somebody.
They were paid $1,800 a
month to do regular maintenace, such as checking manholes and lift stations, and
also as a retainer to be on call
for repairing grinder pumps
on short notice. I believe they
were charging $35 per hour
to do any repairs. By the
time I joined the board, our
grinder pump repair or replacement costs were skyrocketing. My impression
was that the contractor was
not doing repairs properly
because they had to repair
the same pumps multiple
times.
We switched from Dusty
to Doug Counts shortly after
I joined the board. Doug
works for the St. James
Sewer & Water District and
did our work on the side. We
paid Doug $25 per hour. We
also hired John Agnew from
Rolla to repair or rebuild the
pumps at $25 per hour. John
had gone to school at Flow
Systems in the past. John
stopped working for us six
months ago for unknown reasons; however, he did pass on
a lot of knowledge to Doug.
Sometime after that we hired
Doug’s son Joe to assist Doug
at $20 per hour.
Over the last six months,
Romona, while attending our
meetings, has expressed concern over the $76 monthly
sewer bill and how we are
running the sewer district.
She also expressed a desire
for another entity to run the
district. At a board meeting
two months ago, she said she
suggested that Doug and Joe
were overpaid. More than
once she said she only
wanted the best for the people and our sewer district,
but John recently overheard
Ramona say the best thing
that could happen is for our
district to go belly up. If that
were to happen we could possibly see the sewer rate double.
Doug and his son resigned
at our meeting last Monday.
Doug said there were several
reasons, but I am fairly certain the primary reason was
Ramona’s questioning his integrity. Doug and Joe were
doing a great job at a very
fair rate.
At the last meeting, our
CPA Sheila Flint presented a
summary of how our repair
costs over the last few years
have dropped by two-thirds.
I can only surmise that an
important reason is that
Doug wasn’t just repairing
what was broken, but he was
also doing preventive maintenance. We will be very fortunate to find another person
such as Doug to do the work.
The crux of it is that because the majority of our connections are grinder pumps
instead of gravity, our costs
will always be higher than
those of a sewer district
whose
connections
are
mostly gravity fed.
Sincerely,
Joe Burke
Phelps County Sewer
District #4
Board Member
Missouri Development Finance Board against the issuance
of
the
first
installment of what eventually will be $50 million in tax
credits for a new football stadium in St. Louis. I am
against this proposal for a
couple of reasons.
This proposal was put together, largely in secrecy,
without a single vote by a
public body that is accountable to voters. Instead, acting
on his own, Governor Nixon
proposes to issue 30 more
years of new debt without
legislative approval. In St.
Louis, the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which owns the
Edward Jones Dome, wants
to extend city bonds - again,
without a public vote, going
so far as to sue to overturn
an ordinance requiring that
vote.
A quarter-century ago, the
bonds in question were
passed to fund the Edward
Jones Dome, not a new riverfront facility. To extend those
bonds and issue new debt not
only is, in my view, illegal, it
fosters cynicism among voters who already are reluctant
to trust government officials
with their money.
Proponents of the new stadium claim it is a tremendous
redevelopment
opportunity in a blighted
area. If they are so confident
of this, they should make
their case to the voters and to
their elected representatives.
It is a terrible precedent to
proceed down this road without action and approval by
those who are accountable to
voters. To barge ahead with
this proposal without voters'
consent is short-sighted and
reckless.

Only no vote on
new stadium
On Thursday (Aug. 27)
Missouri lawmakers are conducting a public forum regarding
state-backed
bonding for a second football
stadium in St. Louis.
The stadium project is an
ill-advised attempt to keep
the Rams in St. Louis or attract another NFL franchise.
Rams owner Stan Kroenke
says he has purchased land
in Inglewood, Calif., and he
has unveiled plans for an
enormous new stadium
there.

Fire in Cuba on Friday destroys Tennyson Plaza
BY CHRIS CASE
[email protected]
Several Cuba businesses
are now looking for new
homes, after a fire on Friday
burned the Tennyson Plaza.
Fourteen different fire departments were called to the
scene to assist with battling
the afternoon blaze. No one
was injured, but the fire will
have a lasting economic impact on several local business owners.
The fire was called in to
911 when smoke was reported coming from the roof
area of Timmy Tom’s Pizza,
which moved into the lease
unit formerly rented by
Domino’s Pizza. Fire units
were dispatched to the scene
at 12:30 p.m. that day, and
the first units arrived on
scene at 12:39 p.m. Within
just a few minutes of the initial call, the fire was upgraded from a 1st alarm to a
3rd alarm commercial fire.
An Engine Task Force consisting of five fire engines
from surrounding agencies
was also called on to assist
in fighting the fire.
The plaza’s design caused
problems for firefighters as
they worked to contain the
blaze, due to the L-shaped
building having a metal
roof. Firemen had difficulty
getting water directed at the
heat source.
“You’re talking about a
30-year-old building with no
fire stops in it,” said Cuba
Fire Chief Mike Plank.
“There’s a wide-open attic
space up top, and once the
fire got up there, it was hard
to keep it from moving on
us. It’s hard to go inside a
hot building like that and
start
tearing
down
sheetrock, trying to stay
ahead of it. Guys did the
best they could do in the situation. It’s a shame that all
those businesses were affected by it.”
Chief Plank told the Cuba
Free Press that the fire originated in the ceiling area
above Timmy Tom’s Pizza.
“Beyond that we just can’t
say with any certainty at
this point,” he indicated.
The matter is still under investigation.
The fire spread from the
take-out pizza business,
which is located in the center of the plaza. It moved
into neighboring lease units,
reaching both ends of the
east-west wing. With two
ladder trucks providing
water from above, as well as
firemen doing battle with
their hoses on the ground,
cooperating firefighting departments were able to contain the blaze as it reached
the rear area of Meramec
Package on the west side.
The scene then worsened,
as the fire burned hotter at
the east end of the building,
taking out Edward Jones Investments and then Cason
& Leathers Real Estate, before finally being extinguished.
“I’d say we did the best
that we could do under the
circumstances we were
given that day,” said Plank.
“The fire had taken a pretty
good hold already by the
time we got there. Only two
or three minutes after the
911 call, flames were showing through the roof. Everybody worked tremendously
hard in fighting that fire,
but water supply was an
issue at that location. I
think for the time of day it
was and where it was located in town, nothing could
have been done any different or any better on our end.
It’s a shame that is a loss,
but the firefighters on that
scene did everything within
their power to save it.”
Plank called the fire
scene “labor intensive” for
the men and women in his
department, as most of the
fire was trapped up high in
the attic area.
No one was injured in the
blaze, and all businesses in
the shopping center were
evacuated once the initial
smoke was spotted. Several
firemen were treated for
smoke inhalation and heat
exhaustion, and one firefighter was transported by
ambulance to a nearby hospital for treatment after
having ceiling debris from
overhead fall onto him while
inside the building. Chief
Plank called it a precautionary measure, and said the
fireman was not seriously
injured.
“I can’t remember a time
since I’ve been involved with
the Cuba Fire Department
that we’ve had this many
businesses affected by a single fire,” Plank stated. “It’s
just a sad deal for everybody.”
Traffic in Cuba proved to
be its own mess, as Highway
19 was closed all afternoon
and traffic rerouted around
the fire scene. Police officers
and city workers shut down
the north-south traffic on
Highway 19, forcing vehicles
to use side streets or Route
66.
There was a separate fire
incident at Timmy Tom’s
Pizza in recent weeks. Plank
described that fire as being
“an electrical incident” in
which a wire had shorted
out at a light fixture in the
back of the building. It was
confined to a small area and
extinguished without much
damage.
Plank acknowledged that
he “could not say” with any
certainty if there was any
connection between the two
fires at the same location.
“That’s what the insurance
investigation would help determine,” he said.
Businesses impacted by
Friday’s blaze include Cason
& Leathers Real Estate office, Carl Insurance Agency,
Tennyson Realty office, Edward Jones Investments,
J&R Pawn, Timmy Tom’s
Pizza, Employee Staffing
Group employment agency,
and the Meramec Package
liquor store. The KXMO
radio office had already been
vacated and was empty at
the time of the fire.
Some of the burned-out
business owners are looking
to relocate quickly into new
spaces, but it is unclear at
this time if all of the businesses plan to reopen locations in Cuba.
The entire Tennyson
Plaza shopping center has
been boarded shut following
the fire.

Getting arrested could be
the least of your worries
Labor Day weekend
brings a surge of travel
across the nation. During
the summer’s last holiday
many will make the conscious mistake of driving impaired, - and we’re not just
talking about alcohol.
A person can also be arrested for driving under the
influence of illegal drugs
such as cocaine, marijuana,
other controlled substances,
or even prescription medication.
Getting arrested could be
the least of your worries. A
substance- impaired driving
arrest could cost you thousands of dollars in fines,
court costs and lawyer fees,
not to mention you could
also lose your license, lose
your job, or worse yet - take
someone’s life!
This year’s Drive Sober or
Get Pulled Over high-visibility crackdown will run Aug.
14 through the Labor Day
holiday on Sept. 7.
“Impaired driving continues to be a huge concern on
Missouri roadways,” said
Colonel Bret Johnson, superintendent of the Missouri
State Highway Patrol. “We
will continue our year round
efforts of enforcing Missouri's DWI laws and
through this campaign create public awareness to the
dangers substance-impaired
driving causes on our highways."
Statewide, law enforcement made 314 DWI arrests, 27 DUI drug arrests,
11 drug influence arrests
and 127 MIP’s during this
campaign in 2014.
National Highway Transportation Safety Administration data shows that
drivers respond well to this
type of high visibility enforcement. Past campaigns
have resulted in a 20 percent decrease in substance-
impaired crash fatalities. On
average, one person will die
every 34 minutes in an impaired driving crash over
the Labor Day period, that’s
a lot of lives that could be
saved.
“Each day lives are drastically changed or lost in
preventable traffic crashes
caused by substance-impaired driving,” said Bill
Whitfield, executive chair to
the Missouri Coalition for
Roadway Safety. “In 2014,
197 people were killed, 703
seriously injured in Missouri
crashes that involved at
least one substance-impaired driver”

Patrol provides synopsis of some new
laws affecting motor vehicle and boat use
The Missouri General Assembly recently enacted
new legislation affecting
motor vehicles and boats,
and Governor Jay Nixon has
signed the legislation into
law. Unless otherwise noted,
these laws go into effect August 28, 2015. The Patrol
wishes to make the public
aware of several of these
new laws or changes to increase public awareness and
education.
been subsequently changed
by law in any other state,
and a salvage certificate of
title or original certificate of
title must not thereafter be
issued for the vehicle. If the
vehicle has not previously
been designated as a junk
vehicle, the applicant making the original junking certificate application must be
allowed to rescind the application within 90 days. (Section 301.227 RSMo.)
The bill removes the requirement that the sale of
all 30-day temporary registration permits must be
recorded on the dealer’s
monthly sales report if the
sale is already recorded by
electronic means as determined by the department.
(Section 301.280 RSMo.)
HB 686 ─ Motor Vehicle
Registration
This bill revises the definition of “junk” vehicle to include a vehicle that has been
designated as junk or an
equivalent designation by
any other state. (Section
301.010 RSMo.)
The transferor of an interest in a motor vehicle or
trailer must include the
name of the transferor in
the required notice to the
Department of Revenue.
The bill allows for the electronic signature of the
transferor on the notice. A
notice of sale is effective
even though it contains
minor errors that are not
materially misleading. (Section 301.196 RSMo.)
The bill allows the purchaser of a junk vehicle to
apply for a junking certificate as well as the salvage
certificate of title or certificate of ownership to the Department of Revenue, and
the department director
must issue a negotiable
junking certificate to the
purchaser that must authorize the holder to possess;
transport; or, by assignment, transfer ownership in
the parts, scrap, or junk.
The department must only
issue a junking certificate
for any vehicle issued a
junking certificate or similar
document or classification
pursuant to the laws of another state, regardless of
whether the designation has
HB 269 ─ Fire Extinguishers On Vessels
This bill requires every
Class 2 vessel operating
upon the waters of this state
to carry two B1 type fire extinguishers, one B2 fire extinguisher, or a fixed fire
extinguishing system and
one B1 type fire extinguisher. Currently, the requirement is to carry either
one B2 extinguisher, or two
B1 type fire extinguishers.
HB 650 ─ Auxiliary
Lighting On Motorcycles
This bill allows white and
amber auxiliary lighting on
motorcycles. The lighting
must be non-flashing, nonblinking, non-oscillating,
and directed toward the engine and drive train of the
motorcycle to prevent interference with the rider’s operation of the motorcycle.
Among other types of lighting mentioned, LED strips
are
included.
(Section
307.128 RSMo.)
SB 12 ─ Agriculture
Weight Limitations ─
This act adds livestock to
the current milk exemption
for weight limits on highways, except interstate
highways, for up to 85,500
pounds. This act also allows
trucks hauling grain and
grain co-products during
harvest to exceed weight
limits by up to 10 percent
again, excluding interstates.
SB 231 ─ Watercraft
Fire Extinguishers For
Watercraft ─ This act requires every Class 2 recreational motorboat operating
upon the waters of this state
to carry two B1 type fire ex-

tinguishers, or one B2 fire
extinguisher, or a fixed fire
extinguishing system and
one B1 type fire extinguisher. (Section 306.100
RSMo.)
Recreational Water Use
Laws Brochure ─ This act
requires the Water Patrol
Division of the Missouri
State Highway Patrol to develop a brochure regarding
recreational water use laws
and distribute it to recreational water equipment
rental facilities and all
county commissioners in the
state. (Section 306.910
RSMo.)
SB254 ─ Motor Vehicles
License Plate Mounting ─
This act allows trailer and
motorcycle license plates to
be mounted horizontally or
vertically. (Section 301.130
RSMo.)
Intoxication Related Offenses ─ This act allows the
Department of Revenue to
extend the period a motorist
is required to maintain the
ignition interlock device on
his or her vehicle by three
months if the ignition interlock device detects an attempt to tamper with the
device or detects an alcohol
concentration above the set
point within the last three
months of the required installation period. The time
must be extended until the
motorist goes three months
without any violations.
Under current law, except
for a first time DWI offense,
alcohol-related driving offenses require a certain period of suspension before an
individual is eligible for limited or restricted driving
privileges. This act expands
the list of offenses that allows an individual to receive
limited driving privileges
provided that he or she has
an ignition interlock device
installed. This act also removes the mandatory suspension
period
for
alcohol-related offenses but
requires that an individual
must have an ignition interlock device installed on his
or her vehicle. This act also
removes the requirement
that DWI courts cannot
grant limited driving privileges to a participant for the
first 45 days of participation. This act authorizes the
court to order a defendant to
submit to continuous alcohol
monitoring or verifiable
breath alcohol testing performed a minimum of four
times per day in any DWI,
driving with an excessive
blood alcohol content, boating while intoxicated, and
boating with an excessive
blood alcohol case. The provisions under this heading
are effective January 1,
2017. (Sections 302.010,
302.060, 302.525, 302.574,
577.010, 577.012, 577.013,
and 577.014 RSMo.)
SB 272 ─ Commercial
Zones
This act adds Boone County
to the municipal commercial
zone previously defined for
the city of Columbia. Commercial zones limit the maximum height and axle
weight of commercial vehicles within those zones.
SB 456 ─ Ownership Of
Motor Vehicles
Transferred
License
Plates ─ This act makes it
lawful for a motor vehicle to
be operated with transferred
license plates for 90 days if
the dealer is selling the vehicle without yet having obtained a certificate of
ownership.
(Section
301.140.1 RSMo.)
Temporary Permits ─
This act makes it lawful for
a motor vehicle or trailer to
be operated by a buyer
under a temporary permit
for 90 days if the dealer is
selling the vehicle without
yet having obtained a certificate of ownership. (Section
301.140.1 RSMo.)
Certificate Of Ownership
─ A person is required to
apply for a certificate of
ownership within 30 days
after receiving the title from
the dealer to apply for a certificate of ownership. (Section 301.190 RSMo.)
Motor Vehicle Dealer
Title Requirements (Used
Motor Vehicles) ─ This act
allows motor vehicle dealers
to purchase or accept in
trade any vehicle for which
there has been issued a certificate of title or certificate
of ownership. Once the vehicle has been delivered to the
dealer, the prior owners’ insurable interest in such vehicle ceases. This act
specifies that such dealers
provide to the Department
of Revenue a surety bond or
irrevocable letter of credit in
the amount not less than
$100,000 in lieu of the
$25,000 bond otherwise required for licensure as a
motor vehicle dealer. (Section 301.213 RSMo.)
If a dealer receives a sale
contract and power of attorney to sign for the seller, the
dealer may sell a vehicle
prior to receiving and assigning a certificate of ownership. In order to do so,
they have to have prepared
and delivered to the purchaser an application for
title for the vehicle in the
purchaser’s name, and have
entered into a written agreement for the subsequent assignment and delivery of the
certificate of ownership
within 60 days after delivery
of the motor vehicle to the
purchaser. The agreement
shall require the purchaser
to provide to the dealer proof
of financial responsibility
and proof of insurance. The
dealer shall maintain a copy
of the agreement, and shall
deliver a form to the Department of Revenue showing
that the purchaser has purchased the vehicle without
contemporaneous delivery of
the title. If these requirements are met, they will
constitute evidence of ownership interest in the vehicle. (Section 301.213 RSMo.)

Sligo News
By Jenny Waites
Sligo Valley is enjoying
the weather with the coolness and now the report is
that it will be hot again.
Probably by the time you
read this it will be back up
to 90 degrees.
This past weekend was
a busy one for the Waites
Ranch. Saturday we went
to Festus to my family reunion at the Elks Club.
There were over 100 people there including all of
our kids and some of the
grandkids
and
great
grandkids were there.
My sister Shirley had
all of her kids there and
some of her grandkids.
There were people there
from about four different
states, some we had not
seen before or for a long
time. It was a very enjoyable day and no rain. The
weather was perfect for
this time of year.
Later Mel and I went
over to Tam and Trey’s
and spent the night. Mel
and Trey got up early and
went fishing. They met up
with Dale, Bubby, Randy,
Brantson and Steven and
all of them went in two
boats. They caught a few
fish but nothing outstanding. They said they had a
good time anyway. Later
we all met at Karen and
Mike’s house for a family
barbecue.
Randy, Brantson and
Bub left to go back to Arizona and Texas Monday
afternoon. Roger came
down and took care of the
animals for us while we
were gone.
We got home around
8:45 Sunday night and we
sure were tired. Monday
we got up and my hummingbirds were pecking at
the kitchen window to see
if we were home so they
could get something to
drink. They sure are hungry little critters. But is
fun to watch them chase
each other around the
feeders.
I haven’t talked to anyone in the neighborhood to
catch up on the news from
them. I will have more
next time.
God bless America and
remember our troops and
their families.

Shoal Creek News
By Vivian Wallen
We have some very cool
temperatures the last few
mornings, that feels more
like fall. The days warm up
and are very nice.
Stan has been brush hogging some of the pastures
just to get the grass down
some. Tall grass can cause
foot problems for the cows.
I was glad to hear from
Bonnie Franklin. She has
had good luck playing bridge
and enjoying it. She is glad
Al and Connie are with her.
Last Sunday friends and
family gathered to help
Stanton celebrate his 16th
birthday. We wish him
many more.
J.R. Wallen is recovering
from his gall bladder operation. It will take time and
watching his diet.
Monday
Stan
and
Stanette
were
here.
Stanette did some weedeating for me. Stan is having
trouble removing a rotten
post out of the ground.
I mowed grass and had to
rake the clippings and use
for mulch.
Wednesday Opal Mincher
and I went to Steelville to
Hair Depot for a permanent
for Opal. We ate lunch at
Taste of Home Café.
September is almost here.
The last three months have
gone by so fast. Labor Day
will soon be here. Hope
everyone stays safe.
United Baptist Church
From Pastor, Eld. Tracy White
This week our thoughts were of King
Asa of Juda. King Asa had been a good
king in the sense that he was adamant
that the people turned from idols and
false gods and only worship God. But
in 2 Chronicles 16 however, the Bible
tells us how he decided to form an alliance with King Benhadad of Syria by
giving him “silver and gold out of the
treasures of the house of the Lord and
of the king’s house.” He conspired with King Benhadad to
get him to attack the cities of the
northern kingdom of Israel. But God
sent Hanani to admonish King Asa because he relied on the king of Syria instead of God. King Asa was wroth with
Hanani and had him put in prison
along with some of the people. He
ended up with a great disease in his
feet, and died in the 40th year of his
reign. Sometimes we need to think about
whom we form alliances with. Are we
allies with God or the world. If we
stand with God, he will stand with us.
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to shew
himself strong in the behalf of them
whose heart is perfect toward him.” (2
Chronicles 16:9) Halleluiah!

Steelville First Assembly of God
Therefore I tell you, do not
worry about your life, what
you will eat or drink; or
about your body, what you
will wear. Is not life more
important than food, and
the body more important
than clothes? Matthew 6:25
Worries are many and
they all seem to crowd in
around bill time, don’t they.
Jesus reminded us that life
is more than food or clothes.
The real question is whether
we can live like life is more
than food and clothing. We
get deceived so easily, like
Esau who sold his birthright
for a bowl of soup. Let’s not
sell out what is precious for
the allure of what will most
likely end in difficulty and
entanglements or at the
very least doesn’t have eter-
nal value.

Local art photography to be featured
at Gallery Zeke during September
BY CHRIS CASE
[email protected]
Fine art photography will
be on display at Gallery
Zeke in Steelville throughout the month of September.
The exhibition titled “Experiments in Light” will feature
photographers from the
Crawford County area,
along with one St. Louis
photographer who has previously shown his work at
Gallery Zeke.
What is fine art photography, you ask? It is photography that stands in contrast
with representational photography, such as photojournalism,
documenting
specific subjects and events
in objective reality, or commercial photography, which
has as its main focus the advertising or selling of products or services. Fine art
photography may capture
objective reality, but does so
in an artful way that expresses the particular artistic
vision
of
the
photographer.
Experiments in Light is a
group exhibition that will include locally-known photographers John Herman,
Melissa Albright, Chad
Dake, Larry McMillian, Rob
Viehman, and Chris Case.
Mark Regester, of St. Louis,
who has previously participated in the Steelville Arts
Council’s artist in residence
program, will also have
work shown in this invitational exhibit. Driven by the
theme of the show, the photography shown by the
group will all exemplify
some specific or interesting
use of light as a characteristic photo element.
The exhibition is sure to
be fun and fascinating for its
viewers, and it is a new op-
portunity for many of these
photographers to display
their more artful photo captures. All work is for sale,
with proceeds directly supporting both the participating artists and the art
gallery itself.
The exhibit opens on Saturday, September 5 and will
run through Sunday, October 4.
The opening reception for
Experiments in Light will
take place on Saturday, September 12 from 3 to 5 p.m.
The reception will be open to
the public, and you can meet
and talk with the photographers at that time. Refreshments will be served. The
gallery will be open all that
day as part of the Harvest
Festival celebration in
Steelville, with the afternoon reception following the
parade.
Gallery Zeke is located at
106 East Main Street in
Steelville and is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays
from 1 to 4 p.m. The Experiments in Light exhibition is
free and open to the general
public. Donations to help
support gallery expenses are
greatly appreciated.
Gallery Zeke is operated
by the Steelville Arts Council, a nonprofit 501c3 organization
dedicated
to
supporting the arts and
artists in the community.

Softball team still seeking first win Baseball Cards
BY ROB VIEHMAN
[email protected]
The Steelville High School softball
season has gotten off to a bit of a rough
start, both on the field and because of
the weather. The varsity Lady Cardinals now stand at 0-2, but have had
two tournaments canceled because of
the rain.
The Lady Cards were supposed to
open play on August 22 at the New
Haven tourney, but it was rained out
and has been rescheduled for September 19. This past Saturday, Steelville
was also supposed to play in the Houston tourney, but that was also rained
out and may not be rescheduled.
The Lady Cards did manage to get
two regular games played, with the
varsity losing to Owensville and Vienna. The game in Vienna on August
27 was the conference opener for
Steelville.
One bad inning doomed the varsity
Lady Cards against the Eagles.
Steelville took a 1-0 lead in the top of
the first inning, but trailed 3-1 headed
into the second. Vienna then put up 10
in the bottom of the second to take control of the contest. Steelville added single runs in the final three innings and
Vienna put up two more in the fourth
to make it a 15-4 final.
Reece Weber led Steelville at the
plate with a pair of hits, a double and
a triple, one run scored and two RBI.
Mykenzie Livesay had one hit and one
run, Paige Gunn one RBI and Kaytlin
Rivera and Courtney Lea each scored
once.
Raelyn Greer pitched the entire
game for the Lady Cardinals. She gave
up just six hits, but allowed seven
earned runs. She struck out one and
walked three.
The JV lost a close game in Vienna
9-7. Steelville scored six runs in the top
of the third to tied the game at 7-7, but
Vienna scored two in the bottom of the
inning to get the win.
Cayman Cottrell and Greer each
had two hits for the JV Cards. Cottrell
also scored twice, while Greer had one
double, one run and three RBI. Kaylee
Hutson had one run, Livesay a double,
one run and two RBI, Sierra Worthington one hit and one run, Lea one run
and Madalyn McPhearson one hit and
one RBI.
The Lady Cards played their first
game of the season at home against
Owensville on August 25. Steelville led
early, but Owensville left town with a
15-4 victory.
The Dutchgirls went up 1-0 in the
second inning, but Steelville took a 2-1
lead in the third. Owensville then
added two in the fourth to take the
lead for good before adding seven in
the fifth and five in the sixth. Steelville
scored its final two runs in the fifth.
Weber led the offense with three
hits, including one double, two runs
and one RBI. Livesay had one hit and
two runs, Worthington two hits, one a
double, and three RBI and Greer had a
double.
Greer went four innings in the circle
and gave up four hits and seven earned
runs with two strikeouts and four
walks. Weber pitched the final two innings and gave up five hits and no
earned runs with three strikeouts and
one walk.
The JV lost to Owensville 8-4. Cottrell had one run, Hutson one run and
one RBI, Amy Green on run, Worthington one hit and one RBI, Greer one hit
and on run and Makayla Counts had
one hit.
After hosting Cuba on Tuesday, the
Lady Cardinals play in Dixon Wednesday and will host Laquey at 5 p.m. on
September 9.
open with win
BY ROB VIEHMAN
[email protected]
The Steelville High School baseball team is off to a 11 start this fall. The Cardinals got a win over Newburg,
but lost to Vienna last week.
The Cards opened the season on August 26 in Newburg and defeated the Wolves 7-5. Steelville scored four
in the fourth to take a 4-1 lead and rallied in the seventh
inning for a pair of runs to win the game by two.
Garrett Marshall, Drew Kennedy and Tristan Woods
led Steelville at the plate two hits each. Marshall also
scored twice and drove in on run, while Woods scored one
and had three steals.
Nathan Biggs had one hit, one run and one RBI, John
Booker one hit and one run, Isaac Silverthorn one hit,
Colton Mason one hit, one run and one RBI, Tanner Potter one run and one RBI and Malachi Gray one RBI.
Kennedy pitched three innings and Mason threw the
final four.
The Cardinals hosted Vienna on August 28 and fell to
the Eagles 8-0. Steelville had just four hits, all singles
from Marshall, Silverthorn, Mason and Woods. Mason
also had three stolen bases. Biggs and Woods pitched for
the Cards.
The Cardinals will be back in action Friday at Bismarck and then host Dixon at 4:30 p.m. Monday.
Cross country teams busy preparing for start of season
BY ROB VIEHMAN
[email protected]
The Steelville High School and
Middle School cross country teams
have been busy over the past few
weeks preparing for the start of
their seasons. The SHS squad will
start running on September 17
when they host the Steelville Invitational.
“We have a very young team,
which has been working very
hard,” said SHS Coach Matt Ham-
monds. “We have been conditioning four miles as of right now, with
a few speed work exercises mixed
in. These athletes have heart and
I can see them giving everything
they have to be successful.”
The SHS girls’ team will consist
of freshmen Allie Gibbs and Hannah Mercer, sophomore Dakota
DeClue, and seniors Haley Sherman and Madison McClain.
On the boys’ squad are freshman Gunner Merseal, sophomores
Garrett Becker and Nick Com-
posto, juniors Bobby Jerrick,
Waylen Housewright and Michael
Payne, and senior Colton Mason.
“Each athlete has set a specific
goal that they want to reach this
season,” Hammonds said. “With
hard work, I want do see each athlete accomplish their set goals.
Personally, I am excited each and
every competition so see how my
athletes grow both physically and
mentally. In cross country, each
athlete's largest competitor is usually themselves.”

Elk bugling season approaching in Shannon County
By Bill Cooper
The cool October air
caused my camping partner
and I to scoot our camp
chairs a little closer to the
fire. We sipped hot coffee as
clouds of steam rose from
the nearby Current River.
We were discussing the rising moon, which had begun
to peak over the tall ridge on
the other side of the river,
when the shrill bugle of an
elk reverberated through
the hills.
Ron Kruger and I stared
at one another. “How cool is
that to hear an elk bugling
in the Missouri Ozarks?”
“I feel like I am listening
to the past,” I responded.
Elk had been non-existent in the Missouri Ozarks
for over 150 years. It’s believed the last animals disappeared during the Civil
War.
Conservation
Department
Director,
David
Ziehmer said that the return of the elk to Missouri
marks a new era in the
Show-Me state’s conservation history. He further
stated that the fact that
Missouri now has appropriate habitat for elk is tangible proof that long-term,
landscape-scale habit conservation and restoration efforts are coming to fruition.
MDC photo
A mature bull elk bugles inside the elk restoration zone in southeast Missouri.
The initial stocking of 34
elk from Kentucky took
place in 2011. The 23,000acre Peck Ranch is at the
heart of a 346-square-mile
elk restoration zone which
encompasses
parts
of
Carter,
Shannon
and
Reynolds counties. The Mis-
souri Department of Conservation worked on much of
the lands in the zone over
the last 30 years to make it
habitable by a variety of
wildlife species.
Elk restorations have
been successful in other
states including Arkansas,
Kentucky and West Virginia. The expectations fro
the Missouri herd are the
same. Missouri Department
of conservation officials
hoped for a limited draw
hunt by 2016. But, the herd
has not grown quiet as rapidly as was first hoped. It re-
mains to be seen if the first
hunt will occur in 2016. Lonnie Hansen, a research biologist with MDC, stated in
2013 that the first hunt
would consist of 30 to 40
tags.
Optimism about the new
elk herd is high. Eminence
quickly declared itself the
“Elk Capital of Missouri.”
Mayor, Jim Anderson, has
been one of the most
adamant supporters of the
elk restoration program. “I
think the restoration of elk
in Missouri is a very positive
thing,” Anderson said last
Tuesday. “Elk are a native
species that once roamed
the woods and prairies of
Missouri. They are an inspiring animal, the epitome
of wild country in the Missouri Ozarks.”
Anderson has high hopes
for the local elk herd. “Elk
herds have had big followings in other states where
they have been re-introduced,” he stated. “We are
working hard in the Eminence area to develop a
tourism attraction from our
elk
herd.
September
through mid-October is the
best time to come hear the
elk bugle. It’s a real thrill to
hear the bulls challenging
one another.”
Anderson is having me
down this fall to film and
photograph the bugling elk.
I can’t wait to hear more
than one of the majestic animals sounding off. I’m sure
it will be a repeat of my experience on Current River
last fall when I hear one
lone bugle. The hair stood
up on the back of my neck.
I will also stop by the new
state park under construction at the site of old Camp
Zoe. The park is expected to
bring 200 new jobs to the
area. “I’m excited,” said Anderson. Good things are
happening in Eminence and
Shannon County. I invite
everyone to come down and
enjoy the Eminence experience.

What you can do with September
By Larry Dablemont
There are some bowhunters who will hunt deer
in a week or so, when they
open the bow season way to
early. If they hunt the last
week of the season they will
indeed be pursuing their favorite pastime in two different worlds, as different as
September and January.
You begin in 80-degree
heat, mosquitos and flies
and spider webs. You watch
for copperheads as you walk
to your hunting area, and
strain your eyes to look
through a green canopy
from your tree stand, unable
to see what you can hear so
close. In the final days of the
archery season, you will
bundle up against the cold,
carry a hand warmer in
your pocket and treasure
whatever is hot in your thermos, whether you prefer
soup or coffee. If there is a
deer 150 yards away, you
can see him well through
the barren branches. You
can watch the sun set...early
in the evening.
I love bow-hunting, when
the fall colors are bright,
and the groundhog is fattening up for a long sleep. I love
bow-hunting when there's
frost on the ground, and
geese
passing
overhead...and I love bowhunting when there's about
two or three inches of snow
on the ground, and you can
see a buck's breath when he
snorts. I like to hang a
dressed deer from the oak
tree in my front yard and let
him season in temperatures
which only rise into the forties in the afternoon.
But I don't love bowhunting in September, so if
you are out there when it
opens you are about half
crazy. Maybe all crazy, I
don’t know... because of
what
you
will
be
missing.There is still some
great float-fishing for smallmouth who love topwater
lures in September, and catfish to be taken on a trotline,
and crappie which cannot
get enough to eat.
If you do hunt deer in
September, you will need to
get any deer you kill cleaned
quickly and skinned and cut
up, so the flies and insects
don't have a chance to get to
it. The only way a September deer should be allowed
to season is in a cold meat
locker.
But though I won't join
you just yet, I understand
your obsession with a few
hours in a tree stand, it is a
fascinating way to see the
ways of living creatures
be wary of copperheads and
check yourself for ticks
when you get back home.
I’ll be exited if I draw an
arrow on another buck this
year, sometime in late October, or November or just before Christmas. But not in
submitted photo
close up and interacting in a
woodland environment so
far from what most people
ever see, even in September,
when you can’t see anything
very far away.
In late September, bowhunting can be fun if you
hunt from the ground and
hunt young turkeys, which
are chasing insects in the
field edges. Young turkeys
aren't so bright, and you can
get well hidden on the
ground and watch them
come close enough for a
fairly sure shot. If you are
good enough, you can bring
home a young Jake, which
weighs ten or twelve
pounds. But you still have to
September...I leave that for
the younger, more specialized outdoorsman, with all
the gadgets on their bows.
There are still those other
things to be done...first
things first.
Dove season opens this
week too, followed next
weekend by the opening of
teal season. With me, dove
season is a ho-hum affair,
which I find myself a little
ashamed to be a part of. And
yet every year I find myself
being a part of it anyway,
swearing never to do it
again. If I am out there in
the weeds sweating over a
little patch of sunflowers,
and some passing hunter
asks if I am that outdoor
writer they occasionally see
in the newspapers, I deny it.
I use an alias for the first
weekend of September.
And it isn't that I do not
respect the morning dove.
As a game bird, he is beyond
reproach, responsible for the
sale of more shotgun shells
than the quail, the pheasant
or the mallard combined. If
you get a good platter of
doves on your table baked in
some kind of gravy or fresh
from a crock-pot with mushroom and celery soup, and
you can keep it all to yourself, you'll have a meal right
up there with any wild game
dish.
But you'll need to see to it
that there aren't many hungry people at your house, or
you won't get enough. Doves
are small!
That small size is part of
why so many shells are fired
by so many hunters to acquire so few of them. Of
course, us grizzled old veteran outdoorsmen don't
have so much trouble hitting doves, but there aren't
many of us who are topflight shotgunners. Sure we
are!
Dove season attracts
more greenhorns, neophytes
and would-be'ers than any
pastime except deer hunting. The farther south you
go, the more it becomes a social event, with numbers of
hunters joining to hunt
grain fields where doves
congregate. It's so easy that
fathers take their kids out to
hunt doves years before the
kids can hit a can on a fence
post. You don't need
much...shells, shotgun, and
a bucket to sit on. And
water...be sure you have
water for everyone, and for
your dog if you take the poor
thing out there in that heat.
It is a fact that probably
90 percent of all dove
hunters will hunt only the
opening weekend for doves
and not again the entire season. Only a small percentage of dove hunters hunt
water holes in the evening,
and it is my favorite ways to
hunt. It is cooler then!
Doves come to small ponds,
which have an open, clean
bank, or sometimes lake
points of similar description
to drink water before flying
up to roost. I have trained
many a young Labrador
over water holes, where they
have plenty of water to keep
them quenched, wet and
cool.
Sometimes there is excellent dove hunting in the last
half of the season because
early in September, so many
doves remain up north. At
times in late October I have
seen up to 100 doves watering at a small pond on my
place, with some roost trees
nearby which they use as a
migration stopover.
But as you read this, I am
already looking forward to
the blue-winged teal season.
It is a challenge made for
the real hunter, not some
guy with a $5 box of shells
and a bucket to set on. And
a flock of teal makes doves
look like dickey birds when
it comes to flying...they are
little rockets, gone before
they even get there. If you
ain't a grizzled old veteran
duck-hunter, you'd best not
get interested in teal hunting, you'd best hunt doves
again next weekend. But
truthfully, you’d be much
smarter just to go fishing.
If you would like to tell
me I don’t know what I am
talking about, as so many
do, just write to me at Box
22, Bolivar, Mo 65613 or
email me at [email protected]. You
can call our office to talk to
my executive secretary, Ms.
Wiggins, a woman so spacey
at times she’d make a good
dove hunter. That number is

Small businesses eligible for low-interest
economic injury disaster loans from SBA
Gov. Jay Nixon announced that small, nonfarm businesses in 112
Missouri counties are now
eligible to apply for low interest federal disaster loans
from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
These loans offset economic
losses resulting from excessive rainfall and flooding
that began March 1, 2015.
On August 7, President
Obama
approved
Gov.
Nixon’s request for a major
disaster declaration, which
allowed local governments
and eligible nonprofit agencies to seek assistance for response
and
recovery
expenses associated with
the severe weather and
flooding. Missouri also received a USDA disaster designation making farmers
impacted by severe weather
eligible for low-interest
loans and other assistance.
“The significant weatherrelated losses suffered by
farmers this year had a
harmful impact on many
small businesses as well,”
Gov. Nixon said. “These lowinterest loans will help agriculture-dependent
small
business owners recover so
that they may continue to
provide jobs and strengthen
our rural communities.”
Assistance is available for
businesses in the following
counties: Adair, Andrew,
Atchison, Audrain, Barry,
Barton, Bates, Benton,
Bollinger, Boone, Buchanan,
Butler, Caldwell, Callaway,
Camden, Cape Girardeau,
Carroll, Cass, Cedar, Chariton, Clark, Clay, Clinton,

St. Francois, St. Louis, Ste.
Genevieve, Saline, Schuyler,
Scotland, Scott, Shelby,
Stoddard, Sullivan, Vernon,
Warren, Wayne, Webster
and Worth.
In addition, businesses in
the following neighboring
counties are also eligible:
Carter, Christian, Douglas,
Iron, Lawrence, Madison,
Oregon, Reynolds, St. Louis
City,
Shannon,
Stone,
Texas, Washington and
Wright.
The eligibility for Economic Injury Disaster Loans
(EIDLS) includes both businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers who have
suffered agricultural production losses caused by the
disaster as well as businesses directly affected by
the disaster. Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small
businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private
nonprofit organizations of
any size may qualify for
EIDLs of up to $2 million to
help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have
been met had the disaster
not occurred.
By law, SBA makes
EIDLs available when the
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary
Tom Vilsack declared this
disaster on August 26, 2015.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic
Loan Application (ELA) via
SBA’s secure website at

Lottery reminds players
not to fall for mail scams
The Missouri Lottery is
reminding players not to fall
for a recent national mail
scam.
In August, the Missouri
Lottery received several letters from people, some in
other states, wishing to
claim prizes through fraudulent organizations. These
people received letters from
organizations purporting to
be “National Publishers
Clearing House” and “Mega
Millions Clearing House,”
which lists the Missouri Lottery’s headquarters address
as their own.
The letters claim that recipients were drawn as winners in the “Summer 2015
Promotional,” and include a
cashier’s check that is to be
used to pay insurance and
processing fees to the “the
clearing house,” a process,
which the letter says, is required by law.
“Unfortunately, this type
of scam is one of the most
common,” said May Scheve
Reardon, executive director
of the Missouri Lottery.
“These schemes prey on innocent people claiming that
they’ve won thousands,
sometimes millions, of dollars and carry absolutely no
validity.”
Reardon said that the
Missouri Lottery never requires players to provide
money in order to claim a
prize. Furthermore, when
people play Missouri Lottery
Scratchers
and
Draw
Games, Lottery employees
have no way of knowing the
identity of winners until
they claim a prize at a Missouri Lottery retail location
or at a Missouri Lottery office.
“We want our players to
be wary of any ‘prize’ that
seems too good to be true.
When in doubt, players
should call the Lottery,”
Reardon concluded.
The Missouri Lottery security section urges anyone
who receives mailings, such
as the one discussed above,
to contact the Attorney General’s Fraud Hotline (800392-8222) or the Missouri
Lottery (573-751-4050).
A Missouri Lottery-produced scams brochure titled,
“Don’t Get Scammed!” can
be found at playcenters at
all Lottery retail locations
throughout Missouri.
The brochure includes
key security facts about the
Missouri Lottery, a list of
common types of scams,
ways for players to find out
if they have won a prize and
contact information.

Capitol Report - 8th District
The Environmental Pollution Agency
Why am I so tough on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)? Because this agency is supposed to
protect the environment, but all it
seems to do is
protect radical
environmentalists and make
life more difficult
for Missourians.
Now folks in the
west are being
forced to learn a
lesson that we already know – the
JASON
EPA operates at
SMITH
the expense of
you, the taxpay8th District
ers.
Congressman
Earlier
this
month, the EPA
caused a state of emergency by accidentally releasing three million gallons
of toxic waste into a river system, af-
fecting the water supply in Colorado,
New Mexico, and Utah. This contamination went into the drinking supply,
recreational water, and irrigation systems.
The EPA failed to acknowledge the
incident or notify affected surrounding
communities for days after the dangerous spill. It’s simply unacceptable, and
I sent a letter to the EPA Administrator demanding answers on how and
why this specific incident happened. I
want to know who will be held accountable. I also am seeking information on
what statutory authority allowed the
EPA to operate in Colorado’s Gold
King Mine in the first place. Americans across the country deserve answers.
The EPA's pollution of the river out
west comes just as they are trying to
gain greater federal authority over private land with its new Waters of the
United States rule. This would regu-
Don’t Drink & Drive!
late virtually every place that water
flows in the United States. Gutters,
drainage ditches, and puddles could all
come under federal scrutiny, heaping
additional piles of regulations on top of
farmers, businesses, and law-abiding
citizens. The EPA does not deserve this
unchecked authority, and I recently
added language to the Energy & Water
funding bill to block the EPA from
using any funds to implement this
damaging rule.
It’s time to go a step further and empower the folks of Missouri to decide
our state’s environmental needs. We
know Missouri’s land and water best.
Environmental policies don’t just affect
our farmers and ranchers, but families
across the state. Those policies should
be made by Missourians instead of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in
Washington, D.C. We would be better
off without the EPA.
Medicaid task force, ports and deer regulations
During the 2015 legislative session
the House and Senate approved a state
operating budget that will shift the
state’s Medicaid system to one that utilizes
managed
care for delivery
of health care
services.
The
plan calls for the
state to make the
change by June
1, 2016 and also
creates a task
force of legislators, providers,
JASON
payers and conCHIPMAN
sumer groups to
develop a strat120th District
egy for the impleRepresentative
mentation of the
change. Just a
few days ago, the Speaker of the House
appointed members to the task force
and charged them with beginning their
work on this important issue.
Also, an interim House committee
recently met at the state capitol to discuss the importance of Missouri’s
ports, and to look at ways to continue
to support these trade hubs that play
a vital role in the state’s economy.
Members of the Interim Committee on
Development and Improvement of Missouri Ports learned during the hearing
that the state’s port system accounts
for 441 direct jobs, and also has a positive economic impact on communities
within a 75 mile range of each port. According to testimony from the Missouri
Department of Transportation, the
state’s ports also represent a great investment of taxpayer dollars as every
state dollar put into ports results in between $7 to $10 in private investment.
The committee plans to meet again in
September when members will likely
suggest actions to better invest in Missouri’s waterways infrastructure and
port system.
Recently, the Conservation Commission met to approve changes to next
year’s deer regulations. Approved
changes include shortening November
and antlerless portions and expanding
late youth portion. Potential changes
include allowing crossbows during
archery seasons and reducing antlered
deer limit. Missouri’s rule-making
process includes a 30-day public comment period. Comments related to the
proposed regulation changes can be
submitted online to the Conservation
Department from Oct. 2-31 at
mdc.mo.gov/node/24141. Full verbiage
of the proposed amendments will be
posted on the webpage after Sept. 15.
The Commission will make its final
decision on these proposed changes at
its December meeting. With final approval, the regulation changes would
become effective in March 2016 and
implemented for the 2016-2017 deer
hunting seasons. I encourage you to
contact the MDC and share your
thoughts on these new regulations.
Crawford County residents can contact
their regional office at 636-441-4554
and Phelps County residents can contact their regional office at 417-2567161.

The sanctity of life
A controversial video recently surfaced in which the Planned Parenthood
organization appears to openly discuss
the sale of fetal
remains in Missouri. This video
caught the attention of Missouri
legislators, who
quickly formed
the Senate Interim Committee
on Sanctity of
DAN
Life in order to
BROWN
gather information
from
Planned Parent16th District
Senator
hood’s officials to
examine these allegations of illegal and/or immoral activity.
Although Planned Parenthood released a report stating the videos were
altered by an activist group that manipulated the audio and video to reflect
false information, the chair of the committee, Sen. Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, insists the investigation will
continue, as information came to light
about other questionable practices regarding licensing procedures for those
performing medical abortions.
In a series of hearings this week, the
committee heard testimony from Gail
Vasterling, Director of the Missouri
Department of Health and Senior
Services, as well as MU Chancellor R.
Bowen Loftin, who were questioned
about the operations of Planned Parenthood and the legality of a referring
practitioner to a hospital when a medical abortion is deemed incomplete. In
these cases, when a surgical abortion
is warranted, the hospital, not the
clinic, is then left to finish the procedure.
It was discovered that a practitioner
employed by the University of Missouri
was also on the physician roster for
Planned Parenthood, and the resulting
inquisition raised further questions,
which will be examined as the committee hearings continue.
I believe in the sanctity of life, that
all lives are precious, and that we need
to pay attention to the current events
that affect our lives and the lives of
those we love. Corruption in any form
is not acceptable, whether in business
or politics, and an informed citizen can
be a powerful voice for all of us.
As always, I encourage my constituents to contact me throughout the
year with comments, questions or suggestions by calling my office at 573751-5713. To find more information
about the bills I sponsor, visit

Missouri tax amnesty offered Sept. 1 through Nov. 30
As authorized by House Bill 384,
Missouri will offer a tax amnesty from
Sept. 1, 2015 to Nov. 30, 2015. The tax
amnesty provides individuals and
businesses with a one-time opportunity to pay back taxes that were due
prior to Dec. 31, 2014 without having
to pay interest or penalties.
“Missouri Tax Amnesty provides
taxpayers with a three-month window
to pay their debt without having to pay
the interest and penalties they would
owe under normal circumstances,” said
Revenue Department Director Nia
Ray. “I encourage individuals and businesses that qualify for tax amnesty to
take advantage of this opportunity.”
Tax types that are amnesty eligible
include individual income tax, corporate income tax, corporate franchise
tax, employer withholding tax, sales
tax, consumer’s use tax, vendor’s use
tax and fiduciary tax.
The program requires taxpayers to
stay in compliance with all state tax
laws for eight years after signing the
agreement. Taxpayers who are the
subject of any civil or criminal state
tax-related investigations or litigation
cannot participate in amnesty.
The Missouri Department of Revenue will mail tax amnesty notices to
delinquent taxpayers and businesses
in late-August. The mailings include
information such as the amounts owed
and the amount the taxpayer will save
in interest and penalties.
For more information about the tax
amnesty and to obtain an application
online, visit dor.mo.gov or call 573-7517200.

FAMILY FEATURES
A
s the kids head back to school,
there’s no better time to make
a fresh start in the kitchen,
too. Substituting nutritious ingredients such as sorghum in your
favorite grain-based foods is an
easy way to upgrade your family’s
menu this fall.
Some of the traditional snacks
kids love most — such as cakes,
cookies and doughnuts — can all
be prepared using sorghum, a glutenfree cereal grain grown throughout
the world. This highly versatile
ingredient is naturally high in fiber,
iron and protein, and can be used in
a wide range of preparations. In fact,
white food-grade sorghum can be
milled directly into whole grain flour
to produce foods such as brownies,
breads, pizza dough, pastas, cereals,
pancakes and waffles.
Whether it’s a power breakfast to
fuel the day, a sweet lunchbox treat
or a tasty after school snack, these
recipes showcase how simple it can
be to give your kids’ favorite treats
a nutritious makeover they’ll be
thrilled to sample.
