Wind energy in Holt County
FROM START TO FINISH
Wind energy company explores the possibility of project in Holt County
APRIL 3, 2014
January 16, 2014
Wind farm bringing green to Holt County
Holt County’s landscape is about to change: potentially the state’s
largest wind energy operation, “Mill Creek Wind Farm,” is in the works.
Element Power, which will build and operate the wind farm south and
east of Oregon, MO, has been in negotiations with the Holt County
Commission to bring both green energy and greenbacks to the area. The
company has approximately 25,000 acres under lease with more than
100 landowners right now. The project, which, according to Element
Power, will produce enough clean electricity to power nearly 60,000
homes, is a $400 million investment in Missouri.
MARCH 13, 2014
Hopping on the wind farm train
The establishment of Mill Creek Wind Farm is on track, though progress, as previously reported in Mound City News, has slowed. Keeping
the momentum moving, however, Element Power held two community
meetings, one on Tuesday, March 4, in Oregon, MO, and the other on
Wednesday, March 5, in Mound City, MO. Of the variety of issues covered, the primary one focused on the taxation structure associated with
wind farms.
“All of the wind farms in the state have thus far used the 60/40 approach to taxing wind farms, where 60 percent of the cost of the wind
farm is considered obsolete and isn’t taxed,” Caroline Mead, Element
Power director of origination, wrote to Mound City News. “Half of the
Missouri counties with wind farms have also created Enterprise Zones to
attract or support wind and other types of economic development, which
enables the counties to put more flexible tax structures in place.”
As both Holt County Commissioner Mark Sitherwood and now Mead
have emphasized, a wind farm and an Enhanced Enterprise Zone (EEZ)
are not mutually exclusive. While talk at the meetings, which had roughly
100 and 50 attendees in Oregon and Mound City, respectively, centered
on taxes and incoming revenue, a relatively new issue crossed the tracks
to enter into interested parties’ line of sight: the impact of a wind farm on
wildlife. Mill Creek Wind Farm would be Element Power’s first project
located so close to a refuge, in this case Squaw Creek National Wildlife
Refuge near Mound City.
MARCH 20, 2014
Mill Creek Wind Farm a matter of math
The issue of Mill Creek Wind Farm and the associating alphabet soup
of possible taxing structures lies as an answer without a question, or as
Holt County Clerk Kathy J. Kunkel put it at the County Commission
meeting on Wednesday, March 12, “We’re working backwards.”
The sticking point for those involved — the Holt County Commission,
Element Power and the county school superintendents who have fielded
questions from concerned citizens — at the meeting was the $1 million
Element Power has offered as a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT). Although contractual provisions could provide for distribution regulations,
commissioners decided not to move forward with the PILT and to determine the assessed value of the wind farm with true real estate taxes. To
break it down, there are three state-approved methods for determining
value: the comparable sales approach, the cost approach and the income
approach.
Assessor decides on 60/40 approach
“I chose 60/40, or the Gentry County model,” Holt County Assessor LaDonna
Jones said. “The Gentry model was the precedent set by the state of Missouri. It
has been upheld by the State Tax Commission. I thought it was the direction we
should go; I thought it was the appropriate choice.”
JUNE 19, 2014
Wind farm still a hot topic for commission
During the June 16 Holt County Commission meeting, commissioners took a
conference call with Dan Hegeman and Chuck Caisley of Kansas City Power and
Light (KCP&L). KCP&L has a contract to purchase wind power generated from
the farm, and Caisley provided an update on the relationship between the company
and Element Power.
According to Caisley, Element Power executives have several issues to overcome. For example, they must obtain three permits associated with endangered
wildlife and the proximity of the farm to Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge.
Additionally, bat and eagle studies are ongoing in the proposed development zone,
and mitigation measures are being considered.
september 25, 2014
Wind farm leaves Holt County
Mill Creek Wind Farm, touted as the largest wind farm in Missouri, will no
longer be in Holt County, Element Power recently announced.
According to Holt County Commissioner Mark Sitherwood, the change of
site is more directly related to wildlife concerns than the debate over taxation
models.
As the project progressed — Element Power met with the Holt County Commission to discuss tax abatements and held an open house for interested county
residents — advocacy groups, including the Audubon Society and the American
Bird Conservancy, began to question the impact of the wind farm. “Studies of
wind farms and wildlife interactions, especially with appropriate turbine siting
as is planned for the Mill Creek project, do not suggest that wildlife populations
will be adversely impacted by the project,” a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
document provided by Scott Zeimetz, project manager of Element Power, read.
The crux of the issue between Element Power and the advocacy groups, which
worked with the Missouri Department of Conservation, is the lack of state regulation. Wind companies do not have to contact U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
the Missouri Public Service Commission, the Department of Natural Resources
or the Missouri Department of Conservation for wind farm approval. The only
recourse against Element Power would be if it were to violate the Endangered
Species Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Act; then, the company would be
subject to prosecution.
Element Power, in response to wildlife concerns, offered to accommodate
birds and bats by reducing operations during migration periods. As of last week,
however, Element Power decided that such action would not be financially possible. So, with birding groups united and with solutions that only served to benefit one side, Element Power pulled out of its proposed Holt County site. “The
reality of the situation is that there are other areas in Missouri that make more
economical sense to build in, and as such, we are working to move the project
to a more suitable location,” the letter read. As of Monday, Sept. 22, Element
Power has not announced where the new location is.

Tiffany Heights Care Center continues with interior updates
Tiffany Heights Care Center in
Mound City has a new look inside the
facility. New flooring and new wall coverings are being enjoyed by the residents
and staff.
The walls in the dining room and hallways had sported the same decor since
1998. A new color scheme was chosen
from several options recommended by a
designer provided by the corporate office. The flooring was last updated in
1991.
Sage teal upper walls are complemented by a light brown lower wall of
durable wallpaper that should withstand
walker and wheelchair nudges. New
tiles have been placed throughout the
facility and are ready for 20 plus more
years of traffic.
New chairs have been put in place
in the dining room. Higher backs and a
color and pattern that enhances the decor
are featured on the chairs. Upon entering
the dining room, a more luxurious look
meets the eye.
Robert Gibson, Director of Operations
at the Tiffany Care Centers corporate office in Mound City, states that “the goal
of Tiffany Care Centers is to improve
services to the local community.”
Tiffany Care Center installed 25-kilowatt solar panels on the roof of Tiffany
Heights in 2014. The residents’ health
records were converted to electronic
files in the fall of 2014. “We are constantly researching ways to benefit our
clients and contribute to the community,” adds Gibson.
The nurses’ station will undergo a
facelift at a later date. The staff and
residents are proud of the new improvements.
The hallways of Tiffany Heights Care Center in Mound City - Are sporting a new
look. New paint and a wallpapered surface below the chair rail reflect a modern
color palette suggested by an interior designer. The textured walls will keep scuff
marks made by wheelchairs and walkers at a minimum.

USDA seeks applications for
grants to help finance rural broadband
The United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Rural
Development Missouri State Director Janie Dunning announced
recently that USDA is soliciting
applications for Fiscal Year (FY)
2015 Community Connect Program grants. The program provides grants to establish essential
broadband services in rural communities where it is currently not
available.
“To move our rural communities toward their full potential,
we must recognize our global
connection. Rural communities
and economies can benefit from
accessing the world. Unfortunately, many rural communities
in Missouri do not have access to
broadband,” said Ms. Dunning.
“USDA’s Community Connect
Grant Program ensures that rural residents have the ability
to run businesses, get the most
from their education, and benefit from the infinite services
that fast, reliable broadband
provides. Through this program,
unserved rural communities can
seek funds for broadband service
which will connect them to community and economic development opportunities not currently
available due to lack of access.”
The minimum amount of
grants awarded will be $100,000;
the maximum is $3,000,000. The
deadline for applications to be
submitted is Tuesday, Feb. 17,
2015. Since inception, the Community Connect program has
funded 237 projects with investments of $149 million.
Last year, USDA announced
new rules to better target Community Connect grants to areas
needed the most. To view the
rules, go to: http://www.gpo.
gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-05-03/
pdf/2013-10502.pdf
In Missouri, a $727,388 Community Connect Grant assisted
the Texas County Rural Area Informational Network (TRAIN)
in installing and operating a Fiber-to-the-Home network in the
Village of Raymondville. This
network has provided village
residents access to computers
and printers in the Public Access
Community Room, increased access to economic opportunities
and offered online educational
opportunities.

Another successful community
Christmas meal enjoyed by many
For six years, Dennis and
Cindy Reule have hosted a community Christmas Day lunch in
the basement of the First Christian Church in Mound City. This
meal is an opportunity for those
without family in the area to
spend Christmas Day with others in the fellowship of dining
and visiting.
Dennis and Cindy begin preparing for the meal weeks in
advance. Favors for each place
setting are made (this year Cindy gathered small sticks in the
backyard and attached strips of
material to make little primitive
trees), many pies are made (Cindy makes the BEST pies) and
table decorations are created.
Two days before the big event,
the food preparation begins. By
early Christmas morning, pots
are boiling and the ovens are full.
This year’s menu included turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes,
green beans, home grown sweet
corn, salads, hot rolls and every
pie imaginable with homemade
whipped cream.
This year, the Reules had a
big obstacle to overcome prior
to beginning preparations for
the big party. Dennis was diagnosed with kidney cancer and
underwent surgery to remove a
kidney on Nov. 10. Six weeks
later, the meal went on with
Dennis right there to set things
up. Friends pitched in to lift the
prohibited heavy items and stir a
few pots. Cindy stated that she
always knew that everything
would work out to continue the
tradition. She said she put it all
in God’s hands and He made it
happen.
The Reules don’t put on this
feast for money or glory. This
meal recognizes and honors their
late parents, Junior and Betty
Yocum and Herb and Bea Reule, who all loved the Christmas
season and always opened their
doors to family and friends.
Dennis and Cindy reported
that they cooked for 100 people
this year and fed 52. After a
short devotional and prayer, the
delicious banquet began. The
visiting after lunch was almost
as good as the meal. No one left
the church without take-out containers to have at least one more
meal at home. The Reules are
already planning for next year’s
Christmas.
Cindy and Dennis Reule, pictured above left to right, of St. Joseph, MO - Host a Christmas Day lunch at the Mound City First
Christian Church each year. The meal is open to anyone wishing to
celebrate Christmas with old friends and new friends. This year on
Thursday, Dec. 25, the Reules served 52 people.

The Holt County Historical Society is
looking for answers to these questions
that have been submitted by researchers.
1895 STAR COUNTRY SCHOOL - ETHEL BROWNING TROXEL MEMORIES - Written in 1972
When I first started to school, the large room was quite crowded with sixty or more enrolled. Some pupils had to sit
three in a seat with a small person in the middle and a larger one on either side. Pupils, or classes, were called to the
front of the room to a long bench to recite. Beginners were taught their ABC's and to read from charts, while older
pupils were classified according to the reader they were in: first, second, third, fourth and fifth.
Heat was furnished in the winter by a large heating stove in the center of the room. On real cold days the pupils were
permitted to sit on seats nearest the stove until the room warmed up. Each teacher was usually his or her own janitor
- making the fires and sweeping the room. Water was brought for years from a neighboring well. It was a privilege for
two boys or sometimes two girls to go get a bucket of water; then someone was given the honor of "passing the water" to
each person in the room; all drank from the same dipper or cup as it was brought to his or her seat. Later on some did
have individual folding cups.
It was customary to have two terms of school in a year - a six-month term and then a spring term of two or three
months. The big boys went to the winter term after the farm work was over. Later, the two terms were combined into an
eight-month term.
Often, on the last day of school, the patrons came in with a basket dinner, and the pupils presented a program in the
afternoon. It was customary for the teacher to "treat" the pupils on the last day of school. If there was a doubt that the
treat would be forthcoming, the big boys would "lock the teacher out" until the desired promise of a treat was given.
Usually on Friday afternoon a spelling bee or ciphering match or both took place. In the winter, oftentimes for neighborhood entertainment, the older ones engaged in such contests at night.
Sometimes debating societies were organized for an evening and such momentous subjects were debated, as "Which
causes more harm - a fire or a flood" - or, "Who received the worst treatment - the Indian or the Negro".
Star school occupied three locations within my memory before settling on the present location - having burned down
two times. The last time was about 1905, and to complete the school year, school was conducted in the old deserted farm
house of Uncle John Galloway - the father of Madge Hollenbeck.
-- Ethel Browning Troxel, Craig, 1972

• A woman desperate to have another baby allegedly murdered expectant mother Bobbie Jo
Stinnett in Skidmore and kidnapped her baby
daughter. Stinnett, 23, was found by her mother
in her Skidmore home the prior week, in what
turned out to be another notorious case of murder in the Skidmore area. This was the latest of
four strange happenings in the small town of
Skidmore. Ken McElroy, a notorious livestock
thief and drinker who shot the town grocer, was
gunned down on Main Street in July of 1981 in
front of dozens of people who never testified. In
2000, 25 year-old Wendy Gillenwater died after

barrier with 2,000 points
“She’s a very unselfish player.”
- Nodaway-Holt Coach David Carroll
On paper, basketball player Megan Rosenbohm can be
summed up in a series of numbers: 4 years on the Nodaway-Holt
Lady Trojan basketball team; 3 years, at press time, of all-conference, all-district and all-state honors; multiple games of “double-doubles” (double digit scoring in both points and rebounds);
and even a game of “triple-doubles” and “quadruple-doubles”
(additional double digits in assists and steals). Now, Rosenbohm
can add “2,000” to that paper; the record-shattering amount of
points the senior guard has scored.
“I knew I was close,” Rosenbohm said of her 2,000 points
scored on Friday, Dec. 20, in a game against South Nodaway.
“I’m happy, but I didn’t have that goal.”

Judy McIntire, far left, and her husband, Mason,
left - Pose with the new owners, brothers Monty, right,
and Marty Tunks, far right, of King City Lumber. “McIntire’s
Building Center” is no more; on Monday, Feb. 10, “Mound
City Lumber” began gracing the corner of 7th and State Sts.
McIntires retire, hammer
out agreement with owners
of King City Lumber
The story of McIntire Building Center in Mound City, MO,
began nearly 100 years ago
with early patriarch Irvin Henry McIntire. Originally of Eldorado, KS, Irvin bought interests
in various lumberyards across
the country. At one of those
lumberyards, he employed his
son, Harry. When the opportunity presented itself, Harry, in
line with his father’s buying
habits, purchased the CrossonZingerie retail lumber business
in Oregon, MO. Harry and his
wife, Violet Holstine McIntire,
packed up and headed north.
There, they settled and raised
their four children, Kay, Marilyn, Tom and Mason. The year
was 1929.
Seventeen years later, Harry
expanded the business to nearby Mound City when he bought
Richardson Lumber Company.
At the time, Si Allen was the
manager of the Mound City
lumberyard; Richard “Dick”
Marriner was the manager of
the one in Oregon. Harry and
the two men worked steadily
throughout the decades — until 1972, when Violet passed
away.
Harry closed up shop in
Oregon, and he and Marriner
shifted their focus to Mound
City. Just two years later, Harry’s son, Mason, along with
his wife, Judy, and daughter,
Heidi, moved to Mound City
from Kansas City, MO. As another McIntire son following
in the business footsteps of his
father, Mason became what he
referred to as “owner-to-betrainee.”
“We knew we wanted to
come back,” Judy said, “and
[then] Mason’s dad died one
year later.”
The timing wasn’t ideal, but
Judy and Mason were glad
that they had returned before
Harry’s passing; their move
was indicative of their desire to
take over the store — and not
because of a potential family
obligation.
The couple remained in
Mound City, where they raised
their daughters, Heidi and Jill,
and cemented their role as leaders in the community.
It’s been 40 years since the
two arrived, and they’re ready
to write a new chapter.
“We’re pretty much looking forward to the retirement
phase,” Judy began.
Negotiations started close
to a year and a half ago, both
parties said, and the details
were finalized in January. In
the biggest change, the McIntire name will leave with the
family, and the building center
will be crowned, “Mound City
Lumber.”
“We’re really excited to be in
the area,” King City Lumber’s
Marty Tunks said.
The faces at the new Mound
City Lumber will stay the same,
and Do-It-Best products will
continue to line the shelves.
King City Lumber also plans
to bring in new products and
establish charge accounts in the
near future.
“[King City Lumber] knows
small town lumberyards, and
they’re nice people,” Judy said.
“The community will enjoy
having them here. We were really concerned that the community keep a lumberyard. It was
important to us.”

DNA testing has confirmed that the remains found in the ashes
of the Maitland, MO, Opera House fire are those of Kenneth Rainwater, Holt County Sheriff Scott Wedlock reported.
Rainwater, who long called the Opera House home, had been
missing since Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013. That morning concluded
what had been a year of legal frustrations for Rainwater, who had
previously been arrested on three counts of possession of child
pornography in May. By August, Rainwater had been arraigned,
surrendered his passport and paid a $50,000 surety bond. On
Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013, a motion hearing was scheduled for
early September.
At 7:05 a.m. on the late August Saturday morning, however, all
legal plans were forgotten as flames devoured the Opera House.
The Graham, MO, Skidmore, MO, and Mound City, MO, fire
departments, as well as a Maryville, MO, public safety vehicle,
responded to the blaze and fought to keep the inferno under control, though a limited supply of water hampered progress. Not long
after after the fire was subdued, the Holt County Prosecuting Attorney informed authorities that Rainwater had allegedly written a
letter claiming responsibility for the burning building and hinting
that he might have scattered explosives throughout it. Wedlock,
accompanied by officers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Nodaway and Andrew County law enforcement officials, carefully made his way through the
smoldering ruins, though the threat of explosives never materialized.
On Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2013, after the area had cooled, Wedlock
announced that what is now known to be Rainwater’s remains
were found in the charred building and sent off for testing.

Nodaway-Holt Lady Trojans rock
undefeated season as conference champs
The Nodaway-Holt girls’ team - Claimed the 275
Conference title after defeating South Holt by a close 5755 score on Friday, Feb. 14, in Graham, MO. The Lady
Trojans have maintained an undefeated season. The Lady
Trojans are, from left to right: (back row) Megan Rosenbohm, Buffie Lance, Kalli Devers, Bailee Lance; (middle
row) Coach David Carroll, Maggie Fuhrman, Jordan
Long, Bailea Plummer, Darcie Gallagher, Jaylee Holmes,

As lead counsel R. Dan Boulware of Kansas City, MO-based
Polsinelli Law Firm told potential plaintiffs in a town meeting
in Rock Port, MO, back on Wednesday, Dec. 18, “this [is our]
chance to step up to the plate and hit the [ball].” So, on Wednesday, March 5, Boulware, accompanied by lead plaintiff and Holt
County resident Roger Ideker, walked to the mound, dug in his
feet and swung hard at the United States government.
Their newly filed suit, which boasts close to 200 plaintiffs,
claims that the government failed to prevent the 2011 Missouri
River flood that severely damaged properties and residences in
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota.
“For decades these Missouri River residents invested their
fortunes and futures in developing farms, businesses and communities on this land in reliance on the [U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE)] managing the river in a way that would
deter flooding,” Boulware said. “Valuable farm ground is being
permanently destroyed, and a way of life is now threatened.”
Spotlighted in the claim is the USACE, who, according to
Boulware, bases its flooding strategies on a master manual. As
previously reported in Mound City News, a 1979 version of the
manual instructed engineers to estimate how much rainfall and
melted snow might affect the amount of water in a given reservoir. In 2006, however, that requirement was taken out.
“And you wonder why you were flooded in 2011?” Boulware
said at the Dec. 18 meeting. “When the Corps changes how [it]
release[s] water, [it] know[s] what’s going to happen.”
The stretch of land sandwiching the Missouri River has since
seen multiple floods since 2006 Boulware said, an assertion with
which Ideker agrees.
In total, the suit is asking for close to $250 million in damages under the Fifth Amendment, which states that the unconstitutional taking of property, like that irreparably damaged by
avoidable flooding, demands payment.
What is important to note, however, is that Boulware, and presumably his plaintiffs, are not taking fault with the USACE, who
only followed the instructions it was given; rather, they’re taking bat against the big league heavy hitters: the decision makers.
“The Corps isn’t necessarily the bad guys,” Boulware said.
“The bad guys are Congress.”
The Nodaway-Holt Lady Trojans - Won the women’s
district championship game on Friday, Feb. 28, after defeating South Holt 73-59. The team is, from left to right: (back
row) Assistant Coach Josh Petersen, Samantha Shipps, Ashley Brashears, Maddie Lance, Jaylee Holmes, Macie Bohannon, Jordan Long, Samantha Keith, Bailea Plummer, Fankie
Lemar, Coach David Carroll; (front row) Darcie Gallagher,
Buffie Lance, Kalli Devers, Megan Rosenbohm and Bailee
Lance.
Greg Wheeler of Mound City,
MO, has always been interested
in stones; as a child, he said, he
“was always picking rocks.” So
when his father asked him years
later, not long after Wheeler had
graduated from high school,
“What are you going to do with
the rest of your life,” the answer
wasn’t too hard to figure out.
Now, 25 years after first opening his store, Wheeler continues
to do what interests him, and the
array of services he offers has
allowed him to steadily stay in
business.
“I’ve been able to survive because I’ve diversified.”
Wheeler’s talents extend
from jewelry repair, stone set-
ting and sizing to hand engraving and matting and framing
photographs and paintings. His
showroom features multiple displays of sparkling gems, and he
has box after box of stones, including aquamarines, diamonds,
blue tourmaline, natural pearls
and agate.
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Greg’s Jewelry, past and
potentially new customers, and
of course anyone in the area,
was invited to stop by the store,
located at 307 E. 5th St., for
drinks, refreshments, free gifts
and a drawing from Monday,
April 7, through Saturday, April
12.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after 40 years; the last
27 of those years were spent at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, located outside of Mound
City, MO. “I really like the community,” he said. “The
people have been really nice. I’ve really enjoyed it
here; that’s why I stayed for so long.”

Greg Wheeler - Sits at his work table at “Greg’s

and raised” in Mound City, which made it a natural
destination for his store.
Ron Bell’s office at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge
near Mound City, MO, is littered with figurines, antlers, posters and “The Andy Griffith Show” paraphernalia. In the corner, however, lies a pile of boxes, waiting to be packed. For
the second time in his life, Bell is taking the opportunity to
leave early; he’s retiring from his position as refuge manager
on Thursday, April 3.
Bell was offered a buyout
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and with his accrued
sick days and eligible time
from his stint in the Army,
Bell had 40 years of experience, the minimum amount
needed to retire early. From
mid-January to mid-February,
he could apply.

Ed Jacobs posthumously
given Star of Life Award
The American Ambulance Association (AAA) presented Julie
Cassavaugh, daughter of the late
Ed Jacobs, with one of the highest honors an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) worker can
receive — the Star of Life Award
— in his honor.
Jacobs dedicated his life to
helping people. He was not only
a skilled paramedic, but he also
had a way of making people feel
better just by being with them.
He volunteered with Disaster
Services through the Red Cross
and helped at the World Trade
Center, Hurricane Katrina and
Hurricane Ike sites. He was always ready to give encouragement to folks in their time of
need.
Jacob’s daughter, Julie Cassavaugh, granddaughter, Megan
Cassavaugh, and supervisor,
Gene Bradley, the Atchison-Holt
Ambulance District EMS chief,
traveled to Washington, DC, to
receive the Star of Life award in
honor of Jacob’s dedication and
service. While in the nation’s
capital, they joined fellow Class

Susan Lentz bids farewell
to county nurse position
“Gosh, where did 30 years
go?” Susan Lentz, Holt County
school nurse, asked. “Wow.”
Lentz’s journey to northwest
Missouri began when the St.
Louis, MO, native attended junior college straight out of high
school to earn her associate’s degree in nursing to become a registered nurse. Not long after, she
earned her bachelor of science
degree in nursing at the University of Kentucky - Lexington,
where she met her husband,
Rick, a native of New Point,
MO. The couple moved to Holt
County, had two daughters (“It’s
a great place to raise children,”
Lentz said) and since then, she
hasn’t looked back.
Now, however, making that
separation, taking that reflective
look back, is painful but reassuring of a life well spent.
In her time as the county nurse,
Lentz has actively brought services to the area to benefit numerous students; Food Power
Adventure, Delta Dental screenings, Lions Vision screenings,
and career and safety fairs are
just a few of the programs Lentz
has made possible. For her, the
work has been about helping others.
“[It’s] finding a problem and
getting it resolved,” Lentz said.
May 22, 2014
April 17, 2014
Lentz has helped students to
rectify vision, hearing and dental
problems and has been a support for parents in solving their
child’s health-related problems,
like diabetes. Her passions, however, as she says, are encouraging lifelong healthy habits.
“I [love when] a student comes
up to me and says, ‘I brushed my
teeth last night, Mrs. Lentz!’ or ‘I
washed my hands, Mrs. Lentz!’”
It’s those little but important
habits that Lentz has focused on:
washing hands, brushing teeth,
not using tobacco, learning first
aid care, learning how to properly use an inhaler.
“I made that important.”
Lentz has also lent a hand to
health-related state poster contests, like “Tar Wars,” by encouraging students to participate.
Many of them have won.
“We have great drawers in
Holt County,” she said.
Lentz will retire from her position at the end of the school year,
but will stay on two days per
week at South Holt.
“It was a hard decision, but I’ll
continue to help people in a different role.”
As for her time at Mound City
R-2 and Craig R-3, Lentz can
sum it up easily: “I’ve loved it.
God has really blessed me.”
Katheryn Swymeler pauses in

her pedicure experience — she

WI — and swivels in her office
chair to gesture at an article in
“Smart Active Seniors” that details tips to staying healthy. One
of them is “change.”
Swymeler will be embarking

Two individual championships for Emily Wedlock
The Mound City Lady Panthers claimed their
second consecutive state track title on Friday and
Saturday, May 23 and 24, at Dwight T. Reed Stadium at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, MO.
The girls from Mound City scored 55 points to
take first place, with the next closest team from
Polo, MO, scoring 39 points. The Lady Panthers
claimed the state title last year as well, with 73
points over the second-place team, which finished
with 58 points. Mound City also celebrated the
state championship in 2010, following a secondplace state finish in 2009.
Helping to boost the Lady Panthers to the state
title was team member Emily Wedlock, who
claimed two individual state championships this
year; she placed first in the 100-meter hurdles and
first in the 300-meter hurdles. In total, the Mound
City girls medaled in nine events at this year’s
state track and field event, while the Mound City
Panthers brought home state medals in two events.
Megan Rosenbohm, senior from NodawayHolt, earned two state medals this year, and South
Holt junior McKenzi Prussman placed fifth in the
pole vault event to win a state medal.

Mound City’s Miles named “Emerging New Principal”
Korey Miles, Mound City R-2 high school
principal, was recently named “Emerging New
Principal” by the northwest district of the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP).
“It’s an honor,” Miles said, who added that he
was surprised by the recognition.
Miles, however, may be the only one who finds
the honor unexpected.
“It’s well deserved,” Mound City R-2 Superintendent Ken Eaton said. “He’s done an excellent
job.”
The award is open to new principals — those
who have held the position between one and
three years — who have displayed a number of
qualities.

On the first day of State Theater
Camp, Monday, June 2, the baker’s
dozen of students gathered in the green
room of the theater in Mound City.
“How many of you have done theater
before?” Ginny Smith, State Theater
Board-appointed director, asked.
A few of the students raised their
hands, but not one said a word.
After pulling sentences from the
camp participants, Smith led the group
on a tour of the theater (“Those are the
dressing rooms,” “In this room we build
our sets,” “Backstage, wings, aisles, all
of which can be used during a performance”) before initiating a series of
games designed to draw out personalities and play on theater technique. By
the middle of the session, each formerly shy actor was laughing and smiling,
twirling and striding across the stage.
“The kids are great,” Smith said a
week later on Wednesday,
June 11, before a dress rehearsal. “They’ve improved a
lot.”

school climate is positive and reflects high staff
and student morale, [and] demonstrates creativity and imagination in bringing about positive
change,” Phil Lewis, director of programming
for MASSP, wrote to Mound City News. “[He’s
also] willing to take risks to improve student
learning... [he] anticipates emerging problems
and acts effectively to resolve them [and] actively involves the community in the life of the
school.”
In short, the winning principal strives for excellence and positivity. Korey Miles, Eaton confirmed, does.
“He’s highly organized,” Eaton said, “and his
communication skills with all groups of people
are very good.”
For Miles, who is in his second year as principal (he previously worked as a junior high science teacher for seven years at
Mound City R-2), the credit
goes to the school: “The culture...and climate...of our
school is very good. It’s not
necessarily what I’ve done,
[but] that type of culture is
something that I’m proud of.”
He went to say, “Being selected by my peers means a

Mitchell Corbin and Chris Waegele’s “Jolly Green Giant”- Pulls the sled down the track on Saturday, June 28,
at the Mound City Rural Firemen’s 4th Annual “Rumble
by the Refuge” Truck & Tractor Pull. The hometown favorite, driven by Chris Waegele, pulled the sled 308.060
feet. “Rumble by the Refuge,” held at the rodeo grounds
west of Mound City, brought in crowds of 2,800 Friday
night and 4,800 on Saturday night, making this year’s
pull the biggest yet.
The Mound City Rural Firemen have done it again.
The 4th Annual “Rumble by the Refuge” Truck &
Tractor Pull was a huge success thanks to the
hundreds of local volunteers, especially the
members of the volunteer fire department, who made
the event possible. This year’s “Rumble by the
Refuge” was slated to be a one-day pull on
Saturday, June 28, but due to the cancellation of
the Eagle, Neb., show, the Mound City pull turned
into a two-day, extraordinary event. Mother Nature
also allowed for great weather on both Friday and
Saturday, making for record crowds at the Mound
City truck and tractor pull grounds, where, for many
years, the annual rodeo was held.
An estimated 2,800 spectators turned out for the
Friday night event, while around 4,800 showed up
on Saturday evening. There was a total of 67 hooks
on Friday night and 110 hooks on Saturday.
Multiple vendors reported great fundraising, and
any net profits the Mound City Rural Firemen have
will go toward scholarships for Mound City, Craig,
South Holt and Nodaway-Holt students.

“Extreme Fireworks.” When owner (and Kathy’s mother) Judy
Howard arrives — also wearing a neon pink “Extreme Fireworks” shirt — she comments, “Don’t you look pink?”
With a laugh, she heads into the cavernous and well-lit building, which has table after table of fireworks.
“We have well over 500 different varieties,” Howard said,
later adding, “Missiles, pop bottle rockets...We’ve got a little bit
of everything.”
The most expensive are the finale fireworks, but smaller
crackers can be bought for as little as 15 cents.
The building, when not used for firework retail, is used for
various meetings, weddings and other gatherings.

Storm barrels through
area, leaves damage
At Nodaway-Holt R-7, the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 10,
was focused on a clean-up effort.
The night before, a torrential storm rolled through the area,
with rainfall totaling 5.25 inches in the Mound City area, according to the National Weather Service.
The storm caused significant damage to Nodaway-Holt’s
school; the band room and vocational agriculture building flooded, ceiling tiles and insulation were knocked down, and water
damage was evident on the walls of several classrooms.
“We’re looking at December and later in the spring [for repairs],” Nodaway-Holt Superintendent Karma Coleman said.
“Anywhere from four to six months.”
Classes were canceled the morning of Sept. 10, but NodawayHolt wasn’t the only school affected by the storm. Craig R-3 delayed classes for two hours, giving the school district plenty of
time to check back roads for flooding.
Craig Superintendent Mike Leach said that students’ safety is a
top priority and delaying classes was a better option than having
school buses run alternate routes.
Leach added that if the school buses stayed on black-top roads,
the alternative to the delay, then about half of Craig students
would not have been able to attend class that day.
In addition to damage to buildings, the storm caused flash
flooding in Holt County. Sections of Routes N and C closed, and
the Missouri State Highway Patrol shut down I-29 from the 8688 mile markers due to water over the road.
The Missouri Department of Conservation also reported that
it rescued eight people from vehicles submerged on or near I-29
early Wednesday. Rescuers used boats, a motorized front loader and the front of a road grader to carry the drivers to safety.
For more information, see “MDC agents help rescue motorists
stranded in flash flood” elsewhere in this issue.
Finally, there were several power outages in the area. Kansas
City Power and Light (KCP&L) reported that a total of 1,655
customers dealt with a loss of electricity. Power first went out
at 6:01 p.m. on Tuesday night and was eventually restored by
1:08 a.m. early Wednesday morning in the Mound City and Holt
County area.

Fothergills to bring Breadeaux Pizza back to Mound City
Mark and Lisa Fothergill left
St. Joseph, Mo., and their tavern, “The Missourian,” behind
after the passing of the smoking ban; now, they’re taking on
a new business in Mound City,
Mo.
“We burned out in St. Joe,”
Mark Fothergill explained.
When the two, who have family in Mound City and Big Lake,
Mo., saw the Panther Pizzeria
shop, it seemed like a muchneeded opportunity.
“[We said,] ‘Hey, there’s a
pizza place sitting up here empty,’” Fothergill said.
The couple talked to building
owner Bryce Schoonover and
the Courtneys, the former owners of Panther Pizzeria, to secure
the restaurant space.
“The Courtneys did an awesome job of fixing this place
up,” Fothergill said.
Once terms were reached, the
Fothergills got to work. What
was once Panther Pizzeria will
once again be Breadeaux Pizza
(the last Breadeaux Pizza at the
1006 State St. location closed in
May 2013).
“[The Breadeaux Pizza company] called back and we met
within three days,” Lisa Fothergill said.
Lisa and Mark want to make
their new business — and their
new start — an all-inclusive,
welcoming place for students,
athletes, parents and pizza fans.
“We welcome all outside
schools to bring in teams after
games,” Mark Fothergill said.
“We want to work with schools
and the community.”
They plan to open the week
of Monday, Oct. 6, in what will
be the culmination of hard work,
determination and, maybe, a
dream come true.
“We want to be self-employed,” Mark Fothergill said.
“[Lisa] wants to be self-employed. She’s always dreamed
of having her own kitchen.”

Karen’s Kurls kloses up shop
Karen Miller of Craig, Mo., unlocked the brakes
of Tiffany Heights resident Lillian Brickey’s chair
to wheel her into the salon on Monday morning,
Oct. 27.
“Let’s get your jacket off, ok?” Miller said as
she gently took off Brickey’s white hoodie. She
flapped open a black cape to wrap around her client and took off Brickey’s glasses to place them on
a nearby counter.
Miller has been doing hair — both at Tiffany
Heights in Mound City and at her eponymous salon, Karen’s Kurls, in Craig — for decades. She
started fresh out of high school, attending Costers
Beauty Academy in St. Joseph, Mo., before starting at Wilma’s Beauty Shop in Craig in 1967. In
1971 she opened her own shop, and shortly after,
she started working at Tiffany Heights.
“I have heard so many stories about [the residents’] young life,” Miller said as she separated
Brickey’s hair into sections to twist over colorful
plastic curlers. “You see them [now] in their old
life.”
Despite Miller’s contribution to the lives of her
clients, she has decided to move on; Karen’s Kurls
closed on Thursday, Oct. 23, and her last day at
Tiffany Heights was Tuesday, Oct. 28.
“I’m just tired,” Miller said. “I didn’t want to
drive on the roads this winter...I’ll just do what I
want for awhile.”
Miller is planning to turn her shop into a place
for crafts for her and her daughter, and she wants to
give her husband, C.A., who has eye issues, more
care. Still, she’ll continue to make her way to Tiffany Heights.
“They’ve been like family to me over here,”
Miller said. “I’ll come back to visit and do some
volunteering. They’re not going to get rid of me.”

Local businessman gives back to vet
On Sunday, Nov. 23, a member of the Wounded Warriors In Action (WWIA) hunting party
found himself stranded with a dead pickup. Garfield Pellman of Fort Leonard Wood, MO, is a
wheelchair bound Purple Heart recipient that
was in the area for a three-day hunting excursion
hosted by the WWIA Missouri/Kansas chapter.
Curt McCall of MC Auto in Mound City was
called out during closed business hours for assistance. Upon inspection, it was determined by
McCall that the thermostat and water pump both
needed to be replaced in the special handicapequipped pickup.
McCall worked on the pickup on Sunday and
replaced the broken parts with new ones. Upon
returning the vehicle, McCall informed Mr. Pellman that his time, labor and cost of parts were
complimentary.
McCall says it was just his way of saying
thank you to a serviceman who has “taken one”
for his country.

A look back at Missouri conservation in 2014
In 2014, Missouri experienced gains in some wildlife
populations, important milestones and anniversaries, continued restoration efforts and
numerous opportunities for
citizen input.
Nature lovers found much
to celebrate in 2014 and continued to expand the frontiers
of conservation in the ShowMe State. Below is a brief
summary of the year’s top
outdoor news stories from the
Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).
JANUARY
The second-largest archery
deer harvest in Missouri history (50,507) pushed the final
tally for the 2013-2014 hunting season to 252,574.
Hunters donated 227,358
pounds of venison to needy
Missourians during the 20132014 hunting season. That is
enough for more than 600,000
meals. Get more information
on Share the Harvest at mdc.
mo.gov/node/2544.
MDC researchers started a
five-year study in northeast
Missouri to better manage the
valuable wild turkey population. MDC staff captured 260
turkeys in Putnam, Schuyler,
Monroe and Marion counties to radio track the birds
throughout the year to determine survival rates and nesting success.
FEBRUARY
The National Wild Turkey
Federation (NWTF) named
Conservation Agent Jeff Berti
its 2013 National Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.
Berti, who has served 19 years
in Grundy County, also won
the NWTF’s Missouri State
Law Enforcement Officer of
the Year Award. In 2013, he
documented 248 resource violations, made more than 112
arrests, and 31 assisted arrests. His efforts resulted in
the detection of 42 violations
and 30 arrests for illegally
killing wild turkeys in a single
five-month period.
Working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, conservation groups, agriculture
organizations and landowners, the Department continued to lead the battle against
feral hogs. Last year more
than 1,400 feral hogs were removed from Missouri’s landscape.
MARCH
The four trout parks were
stocked with more than 30,000
keeper-size trout for opening
day. A late snowstorm kept
some anglers away, but those
that came enjoyed an excellent opening weekend.
Paddlefish snaggers found
a bumper crop of big “spoonbills” in the Osage River, Lake
of the Ozarks, Truman Lake,
and Lake Taneycomo thanks
to a record stocking of more
than a quarter of a million
paddlefish from MDC’s Blind
Pony Hatchery in 2008 and an
additional 145,000 stocked in
2007. These two strong year
classes will continue to provide superb fishing over the
next few years.
Missouri hosted the firstever white-tailed deer summit meeting March 3-6 at Big
Cedar Lodge near Branson.
The meeting brought more
than 200 hunters, landowners,
wildlife managers, and hunting-industry representatives
from the United States and
Canada. Deer hunters from
20 states, representatives of
state and provincial wildlife
agencies, citizen conservation groups, universities, and
deer-research institutes heard
reports from some of North
America’s top deer experts.
Afterwards, MDC staff facilitated the process of identifying the most pressing issues
facing those who love whitetailed deer.
MDC received calls from all
over the state about fish kills
in large and small lakes and
ponds. After looking into the
reports, biologists concluded
that the widespread problem
was the result of an unusually
cold winter.
Missouri Stream Team celebrated 25 years of a citizen
movement that now has more
than 85,000 volunteers work-
ing to protect and improve
Missouri streams. Sponsored
by MDC, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources,
and the Conservation Federation of Missouri, the program
focuses on education, stewardship, and advocacy for
Missouri stream resources.
The sixth annual Missouri National Archery in the
Schools Program tournament
at Tan-Tar-A Resort March
28-29 turned into a record-fest
in which the state record score
fell and fell again, and again.
The tournament brought together nearly 1,267 contestants in grades 4-12 from 81
schools to test their skills with
bow and arrow. Eighth-grader
Joe Wilder of St. Peters set
a new tournament record by
scoring 295 points out of 300
possible. The next day Hunter
Berry, a 12th-grader from Sarcoxie, nudged it up another
notch to 296. Lee’s Summit
High School freshman Shelby
Winslow had the last word
when she raised the bar to 297
points, just two points shy of
the world record.
APRIL
Young hunters checked
4,332 turkeys during Missouri’s youth turkey hunting season, topping the 4,000
mark for the second time in
the youth season’s 14-year
history.
The Conservation Commission voted to reduce the number of firearms antlerless deer
permits that a hunter may fill
in all or part of 59 counties. It
also reduced the availability
of antlerless permits to two in
all or part of another 19 counties. In previous years, hunters
could buy any number of antlerless permits in most of the
affected counties. Although
the regulation changes reduce the number of antlerless
tags that can be filled in many
counties, hunters still can fill
multiple firearms antlerless
tags as long as they do not
fill more than is allowed in a
particular county. The change
addressed hunter and landowner concerns about recent
declines in deer numbers in
some counties.
Working with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
and The Nature Conservancy,
greater prairie chickens were
trapped in Nebraska and released at The Nature Conservancy’s Dunn Ranch and
Department’s Pawnee Prairie
in Harrison County. Biologists reported good numbers
of booming prairie chickens
at the Wah Kon Tah Prairie release site in St. Clair and Cedar counties. In recent years,
the Department worked with
private landowners and The
Nature Conservancy to restock prairie chickens to this
open grassland landscape in
west-central Missouri.
Eighty-six Missouri communities achieved recognition through the Arbor Day
Foundation TREE CITY USA
program. These communities
meet national standards showing they care for their city
trees and help their residents
take care of their own trees.
MAY
Missouri turkey hunters enjoyed another successful season and checked 43,273 turkeys during the regular spring
turkey season, the third annual
increase in a row.
The Conservation Department continued trapping black
bears for the fourth year, placing radio tracking collars on
dozens of bears to learn more
about their habits and population dynamics. Resource Scientist Jeff Beringer estimates
the Show-Me State’s bear
population at 300. Learn more
about the Missouri Black Bear
Project at fwrc.msstate.edu/
carnivore/mo_bear/
The Missouri Black Bear
Foundation was formed to
sponsor educational programs,
conduct public outreach, and
coordinate field research in
partnership with conservation
agencies. Get more information at moblack bears.org.
The Columbia Bottom Conservation Area’s Howard and
Joyce Wood Education Center celebrated its 10th anni-
versary. The Department and
citizens celebrated the anniversary with a series of special events and programs. The
area is a popular designation
for hunters, anglers and wildlife watchers in the greater St.
Louis area.
JUNE
The Conservation Commission approved regulation
changes regarding the regulation of hunting preserves and
deer-breeding facilities in an
effort to reduce the risk of fatal diseases to the state’s freeranging deer herd and captive
deer.
MDC invited hunters and
other Missouri residents with
an interest in white-tailed
deer to express their opinions
about deer management at 14
open house meetings around
the state in June and July. Information from the meetings
and online comments are being used to develop future
deer hunting regulations and

the statewide deer management plan. MDC is still seeking input at mdc.mo.gov/

Free Fishing Days on June
7-8 encouraged Missourians
to enjoy the Show-Me State’s
fishing resources by allowing
anyone to fish without having
to buy a fishing permit, trout
stamp, or daily trout park tag.
The Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center received a TripAdvisor award
for providing excellent public
service.
JULY
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon
nominated former Conservation Federation of Missouri
Executive Director Dave Murphy to a six-year term on the

A look back at Missouri conservation in 2014
FROM
PAGE 13
A citizen alerted state conservation and agriculture officials to an emerald ash borer infestation in St. Charles
County. It was the destructive
insect’s first known infestation in the St. Louis area.
AUGUST
Thousands of people visited the Conservation Pavilion
at the Missouri State Fair in
Sedalia, peering into aquariums teeming with live fish and
terrariums harboring exciting
reptiles and amphibians. Staff
from every conservation discipline were on hand to answer
questions and present live programs on topics ranging from
birds of prey to fish cleaning
and cooking demonstrations.
MDC waterfowl biologists
announced that duck-hunting
prospects were extremely
bright, with mallard numbers
topping 10 million and bluewinged teal numbers at a record 8.5 million.
A Colorado man pleaded
guilty to illegally trafficking
paddlefish caviar obtained
in Warsaw in 2012. The case
was part of an undercover investigation called “Operation
Roadhouse” led by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and
MDC. To date, 240 out of 256
state charges have been completed against numerous individuals with over $61,000 in
fines and court costs levied.
The fine money went to the
school districts in the counties where the violations were
committed.

MDC released alligator
gar reared at its Chesapeake
Hatchery in Mount Vernon in
a continuing effort to restore
the species at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge and other
parts of southeast Missouri.
The alligator gar is by far the
largest of gars and is one of
the largest freshwater fishes
in North America, sometimes
reaching 10 feet in length and
350 pounds. The species was
driven to near extinction partly because they were mistakenly believed to reduce numbers of sport fish.
SEPTEMBER
Missouri’s Sept. 1 opening of dove season fell on the
Labor Day weekend, drawing larger than usual crowds
of hunters at more than 100
conservation areas with fields
specially managed for dove
habitat.
Conservation agents helped
rescue eight motorists stranded on or near Interstate 29 by a
flash flood in Holt County and
a school bus driver stranded
on Route N north of Mound
City.
MDC released a small-game
hunting forecast showing
quail, pheasant, and squirrel
numbers increasing and rabbits likely to follow the trend.
Results of the annual wildturkey brood survey showed
a poult-to-hen ratio 26 percent
greater than the previous 10year average.
MDC offered a new application for mobile devices
that lets hunters and anglers
buy permits and view permits
purchased during the previous
year. The MO Hunting mobile
app also allows deer and turkey hunters to telecheck their
current harvests and view past
telechecked harvests. Learn
more at mdc.mo.gov/mo bile/
mobile-apps/mo-hunting.
About 30 MDC staff specially trained in fighting wildfires helped their western
colleagues contain and extinguish wildfires in northern
California, Oregon, Idaho,
and Montana.
This year, Missouri hatcheries stocked more than 1.5 million trout in trout parks, Ozark
streams, and winter fishing
lakes. MDC warm-water
hatcheries stocked more than
10 million fish in public waters including hybrid striped
bass, walleye, muskie, channel catfish, paddlefish, hybrid
sunfish, and hybrid striped
bass.
OCTOBER
Self-guided driving tours to
view wild elk at Peck Ranch
and Current River Conservation Areas continued to
grow as a tourist draw for the
Ozarks, especially in the fall
when bull elk bugle as part of
their mating ritual. MDC estimates the Missouri elk herd
has grown to more than 120
animals.
MDC’s Champion Tree Program certified several new
state-record trees including a
95-foot tall black willow in
St. Louis County, a 118-foot
swamp chestnut oak near East
Prairie, and an 82-foot-tall
slippery elm in Neosho.
The Springfield Conservation Nature Center celebrated
25 years of serving millions
of Missourians with special
events and programs.
MDC and Ducks Unlimited
hosted a dedication ceremony
to celebrate the completion of
a multi-year renovation project at Duck Creek Conservation Area in Bollinger, Stoddard, and Wayne counties.
The project was part of the
Golden Anniversary Wetlands
Initiative launched in 2004 to
revitalize managed wetland
projects constructed in the
mid-20th century.
MDC, Ducks Unlimited,
Conservation Federation of
Missouri, Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation,
Bass Pro Shops, and dozens of
other conservation and hunting organizations partnered on
the 480-page book, Waterfowl
Hunting and Wetland Conservation in Missouri - A Model
of Collaboration. For ordering information, visit mochf.
org/2014/04/book-waterfowlhunting-and-wetlands-conserva tion-in-missouri/.
The Conservation Commission approved regulations
regarding the operation of
hunting preserves and wildlife breeding facilities that
hold captive deer. The regulations focused on preventing
the spread of diseases, including chronic wasting disease.
MDC received more than
40,000 public comments on
the topic with most supportive
of the regulation changes. The
spread of chronic wasting disease could negatively impact
Missouri deer hunting as well
as deer-dependent businesses
that support more than 12,000
Missouri jobs and generate
over $1 billion in economic
activity annually.
Hunters checked 5,691 turkeys during Missouri’s fall
firearms turkey season Oct.
1-31.
Working with conservation
partners and private landowners MDC reintroduced
Topeka shiners to the Spring
Creek watershed in northeast
Missouri. This small prairie
minnow was once common
in Missouri and is designated
as a federally endangered species. The minnows were released on Union Ridge Conservation Area and designated
as a “non-essential experimental” population, which allows landowners and managers to continue with normal
agricultural and land management practices.
NOVEMBER
Building on a strong opening weekend harvest, Missouri hunters checked 167,205
deer during firearms deer season Nov. 15-25. The number
exceeds last year’s harvest of
157,273. Top harvest counties
were Howell with 3,418 deer
checked, Franklin with 3,338,
and Texas with 3,170.
The Department gathered
public comments for dozens
of conservation areas, river
accesses and nature centers
throughout the year. In November, this included an open
house at James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife Area. Hundreds of comments received
are being used to help develop
management plans at these
popular destinations. To comment on area management
plans, visit mdc.mo.gov/areaplans.
DECEMBER
The Department started a
five-year study in northwest
and southcentral Missouri
on white-tailed deer to determine the impact of large-scale
habitat changes, hunting pressure, movement patterns, and
survival rates. MDC staff are
working with landowners to
capture and fit deer with radio collars. Information from
the study will help staff better
manage the state’s valuable
deer herd.
Hunters checked 9,107 deer
during the antlerless portion
of Missouri’s firearms deer
season, bringing this year’s
tally to more than 240,000.
Remaining portions include
alternative-methods portion
Dec. 20-30 and the late youth
portion Jan. 3-4.
