The 2014 Remember the Removalbike riders departed the Cherokee Na-tion May 28, officially beginning athree-week journey to retrace theirancestors’ path along the Trail ofTears. The group is scheduled to passthrough the area on June 12-13. Principal Chief Bill John Bakerand tribal leaders held a special send-off ceremony at the W.W.

The groupwill start the ride in New Echota,Georgia, on June 1 and travel sevenstates on bicycles before ending the950-mile journey in Oklahoma June19. The ride, which originated 30 yearsago, is a leadership program allowingCherokee students to get a glimpse ofthe hardships their Cherokee ances-tors faced while making the same trekon foot. “A comprehensive genealogy wascompleted for every rider and staff

making the trip. As they learn moreabout their own family, the universalCherokee experience becomes muchmore personal for them,” Chief Bakersaid. “These riders will live out an ex-ceptional experience over the nextthree weeks that will bond them for-ever. It is physically demanding andcan be emotionally draining, but com-pleting the trip will be a spiritual re-ward in and of itself. Just as ourancestors were 175 years ago, theseyoung Cherokee people will be respon-sible for each other on this journey.” This year marks the 175th anniver-sary of the arrival of the final group ofCherokees forced from their homes inGeorgia and Tennessee and othersoutheastern states to the tribe’s cur-rent capital in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.Of the estimated 16,000 Cherokeesforced to make the journey to IndianTerritory, an estimated 4,000 died dueto exposure, starvation and disease. “The Remember the Removal ridenot only commemorates this impor-tant event in our people’s history, butit is an opportunity for our youth tolearn more about our history,” said

Principal Chief Michell Hicks of theEastern Band of Cherokee Indians.“Our riders are a true cross-section ofour tribal community, and this expe-rience offers a means for them to con-nect across generations and to learnfrom one another about our history.” The riders from Cherokee Nationare Charli Barnoskie, Cassie Moore,Keeley Godwin, Adriana Collins,Noah Collins, Chance Rudolph, Jor-dan McLaren, Elizabeth Burns, ZaneScullawl, Madison Taylor, JamekahRios, Kassidy “Tye” Carnes and JacobChavez.

A Ph.D. student from Missouri Uni-versity of Science and Technology isscreening Missouri drinking water forcommon and emerging water contami-nants and seeking new technologies toimprove drinking water quality. Danielle West, a Ph.D. student inchemistry from Rolla, Mo., and her re-search team are partnering with ruralMissouri communities to improvedrinking water quality by eliminatingor minimizing the byproducts of thedisinfection process through alterna-tive water treatment techniques. Water drawn into treatment facili-ties must be disinfected to kill variousbacteria and other organisms thatwould otherwise lead to illness, Westsays. With grants from the MissouriDepartment of Natural Resources andthe U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (U.S. EPA), she is helping todevelop a rapid, sensitive and cost-ef-

fective detection method for perchlo-rate and bromate detection in drinkingwater, as well as a technique for re-moving perchlorate. The advanced de-tection method will play an importantrole in the monitoring of future drink-ing water quality. “There are just so many chemicalsthat have potential to get into water,”says West. “There are many harmfulchemicals that aren’t currently regu-lated and can be potentially found inmany communities’ drinking water.Our goal is to minimize the formationof these chemicals or find technologiescapable of removing them to ensuresafe drinking water.” Disinfectants used in current water-treatment processes, such as mono-chloramine, could potentially generateharmful byproducts that are unregu-lated by the U.S. EPA. West and her

colleagues are researching the use ofan alternative disinfection agent totreat the water, which shows promiseof providing an economical approach tolimiting the formation of regulated andemerging drinking water contami-nates. They believe that incorporatingthis disinfectant into current water pu-rification processes will provide saferdrinking water. Recently, West earned a fellowshipfrom the National Science Foundationto study pesticides found in waste-water in China. She will study the im-pact of degradation of contaminates“in-situ,” chemical reactions performeddirectly in the wastewater. Dr. Yinfa Ma, Curators’ TeachingProfessor of chemistry, and Dr.Honglan Shi, associate research pro-fessor of chemistry, are West’s gradu-ate advisors.

Christians don’t havespecial privileges Regarding the Guest Column onMay 22 by Charles C. Haynes:When this country was founded inthe late 1700s it was supposedly98 percent Christian. How realisticthis was is may be questionable,but that is the statistic. Therefore, probably every publicprayer was in Jesus' name, andthere was little or no squabblingabout it. But in the Declaration and Con-stitution Christianity was NOTmade the official religion of theUnited States. It seems that thefounders presumed Christianityrather than prescribed it. This worked well for manyyears, with Pres. Thomas Jeffer-son (the supposed "Separation ofChurch and State" President)holding Christian worship servicesin the Capital Building and requir-ing the Bible to be read the D.C.school system, Christmas beingmade a federal holiday, congres-sional chaplains praying in Jesus'name, Bible Scriptures sculpturedin various federal buildings such

as the Supreme Court, and othersimilar things. But as time went along, non-Christians and other religionsbegan migrating in until thestrictly Christian traditions beganbeing questioned. It's possible today that onlyabout 50 percent of our citizens areactual church-going (not church-role) Christians. While it still putsus in the majority over any otherspecific group, we are only abouthalf of Christian vs. non-Christian. Therefore, praying in Jesus'name in government meetings andother public venues is far less ac-ceptable and authoritative—andeven realistic—than in the "goodole days" of the 50s and earlier. I know that I don't want publicprayer to a generic god not inJesus' name and certainly don'twant a Satanist or atheistic ormother nature or some similarprayer (as Mr. Haynes says isstarting to happen). So perhaps Mr. Haynes' sugges-tion of a moment of silence beforegovernment meetings for people todo what they want is the answer. But one thing is certain that weChristians have to face: Christian-ity and Jesus' name have no moreofficial privilege under our govern-ment than any other religion. Andwe have no right to insist or expectit. However, it is certain that weChristians should be law-abidingcitizens praying privately and ingroups for our nation and givingpersonal testimony about Jesuswherever and whenever we can.

Thoughts onMemorial Day Our church played a DVD ofAmerican families mourning theirfallen soldiers in service to ourcountry. Their grief was so palpa-ble (even the dog laying beneathhis master’s flag draped casket)that I was instantly crying too.Then came the reporter interview-

ing people on the beach who wereclueless about the meaning of Me-morial Day. My long simmeringanger spiked up. People who are so stupid thatthey don’t know why we have Me-morial Day should be denied theprivilege of enjoying the benefits ofhard-won freedom. I just hope theyare not reproducing. That level ofstupidity is down right disturbing!How did this happen? Did theschools fail? The families fail?Were they asleep or on drugs inclass? Shame on them! It does, however, explain howthe likes of Nancy Pelosi, HarryReid and OBama got elected. Make a resolution to recognizeand help our veterans. Our townhas a Memorial Day service everyyear. One hour a year is so little toask you to remember those whodied defending our freedom. Re-fuse to vote for politicians whowant to steal that freedom. Give toWounded Warrior Fund, drive forthe DAV, support VFW and Amer-ican Legion, help a veteran getmedical help somewhere, supportour troops still serving. Thankthem and their families. We can’t just leave it to thebozos in Washington, D.C. whospend all their time and our moneygetting reelected to their cushyjobs. And what’s with the Marine vet-erans still wrongly imprisoned inMexico?

Artists descending on area town Sales tax amendment isapproved for August ballot Secretary of State Jason Kander Monday announcedthat Senate Substitute for House Joint Resolution No. 68has been certified for the August 2014 ballot. It will ap-pear before voters as Constitutional Amendment 7 in theregularly scheduled primary election on August 5, 2014. The official ballot title for Constitutional Amendment7, which was both referred to voters and written by theGeneral Assembly, reads: Should the Missouri Constitution be changed to enact

a temporary sales tax of three-quarters of one percent tobe used solely to fund state and local highways, roads,bridges and transportation projects for ten years, withpriority given to repairing unsafe roads and bridges? This change is expected to produce $480 million annu-

ally to the state’s Transportation Safety and Job CreationFund and $54 million for local governments. Increasesin the gas tax will be prohibited. This revenue shall onlybe used for transportation purposes and cannot be di-verted for other uses. The Missouri Constitution empowers the General As-

sembly to refer proposed constitutional amendments andgeneral laws to voters. The amendment will take effect ifa majority of voters approve.

Governor issues statementon transportation sales tax JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Gov. Jay Nixon on Mondayissued the following statement regarding the sales tax in-crease for transportation that will appear on the Augustballot. The proposal would increase sales taxes by $6.1billion over 10 years. We can all agree on the need for a robust discussionabout Missouri’s long-term transportation infrastructureneeds. Along with a highly-skilled workforce, qualityschools, and healthy communities, well-maintained roadsand bridges are key to our economic competitiveness. How-ever, any proposal to change how we fund transportationmust be considered in the context of the overall tax policyof our state and funding for other priorities like education. Recently, members of the General Assembly have beenengaged in a relentless effort to erode Missouri’s tax baseby carving out new loopholes and exemptions for wealthyindividuals and businesses. In the past two months alone,the legislature has passed over a billion dollars in taxbreaks that disproportionately benefit the most affluenttaxpayers and businesses. These misguided policies, in-cluding the $776 million package of primarily sales taxgiveaways rushed through on the last day of session, haveshifted the tax burden away from the wealthy and ontoworking Missourians, while undermining support for ed-ucation and other vital public services that create oppor-tunity for Missouri families. On the heels of this headlong rush to provide specialbreaks and carve-outs for the wealthy and well-connected,members of the General Assembly are now attempting toraise taxes on all Missourians. The burden of this $6.1 bil-lion sales tax increase would fall disproportionately onMissouri’s working families and seniors by increasing thecost of everyday necessities like diapers and over-the-counter medication, while giving the heaviest users of ourroads a free pass. If this effort is successful, Missouri willhave the dubious distinction of being a state that, in a mat-ter of months, cut taxes on lawyers and lobbyists, but hikedtaxes on bar soap and baseball gloves. I cannot in good conscience endorse a $6.1 billion taxhike on Missouri families and seniors when special inter-ests and the wealthy are being showered with sweetheartdeals. This tax hike is neither a fair nor fiscally responsi-ble solution to our transportation infrastructure needs andit does not have my support.

Regional HSOC awards reallocated homelandsecurity dollars to Sullivan Fire, Salem Hospital

Swiss Meat celebrates45 years in business

Electronics, appliance and tire collectionplanned for June 14 in Maries County

Two child passenger safety techniciantrainings scheduled in Meramec Region

The Region I Homeland SecurityOversight Committee recentlyawarded grant funds that were reallo-cated from the state to two regionalprojects—one with Salem MemorialDistrict Hospital and one with Sulli-van Fire Department. Sullivan Fire Department will re-ceive additional items to complete ahazardous materials and decontamina-tion trailer project, and Salem Memo-rial Hospital will receive a trailer tostore and transport mass casualtyequipment that can also be used fortriage. The Missouri Homeland SecurityOversight Committee determined that$58,000 of FY2012 grant monies werenot spent by the state and reallocatedthose funds to the regions based on aformula that accounts for the numberof counties, population and critical in-frastructures within the region. Thisequated to an additional $6,843 for Re-gion I, and the local committee choseto award the funds based on the scoresof FY2013 project applications thecommittee was not able to fund or fullyfund at the time. FY2013 grant appli-cations were scored by Region I HSOCat its April 2013 meeting, and fundswere awarded in July 2013. That same formula has been used toallocate Missouri’s Homeland Securitydollars among its HSOC regions forseveral years, and may be changing in2014. Region I HSOC members are un-sure how changes to the formula mayimpact the region. “The formula right now allows us to

sustain the resources that we have,”Region I HSOC Chairman Ron Smithsaid. “If the State of Missouri changesthe formula, there is a danger that wecould lose funds. There is a risk, andas rural Missourians we should be con-cerned about that.” Smith noted that Region I HSOChas spent millions of dollars over theyears to build resources to respond toa multitude of hazards in the regionfrom natural disasters and terroristevents to communication failures.Those resources include generators, re-sponse vehicles, communicationsequipment and personnel training, andmany of those resources rely on contin-ued funding from Region I HSOC to beproperly maintained. Regardless of what happens to theformula, grant applications for FY2014will be available July 15, and a grantworkshop will be planned in Region Iin conjunction with the July HSOCmeeting. In 2006, in an effort to maximize thereturn on investments of future home-land security grants in Missouri, thenGov. Matt Blunt authorized the StateHomeland Security Advisory Counciland the State Emergency ManagementAgency to organize emergency re-sponse agencies, local governments,volunteer groups and utilities throughregional planning commissions andempower them to provide input intohow homeland security dollars will bespent. Based on Highway Patrol TroopArea geographic boundaries, nine Re-gional Homeland Security Oversight

Committees were created across thestate to assist with this process. As onebody, these regional committees willmake recommendations to the Home-land Security Advisory Council for pro-gram and equipment priorities. Three counties in the Meramec Re-gion—Gasconade, Osage and Washing-ton—are served through other regions.Gasconade and Osage counties are apart of Troop F, which is being coordi-nated by the Mid-Missouri RegionalPlanning Commission at Ashlandwhile Washington County is a part ofthe Troop C, which is coordinated bythe Boonslick Regional Planning Com-mission at Warrenton. Ron Smith of City of Rolla Fire andRescue serves as chair of the Region IHSOC. Tabitha Standfast, Salem Hos-pital Emergency Medical Services Di-rector, serves as vice chair. MRPC actsas the group's administrative entityand fiscal agent. Formed in 1969, MRPC is a volun-tary council of governments servingCrawford, Dent, Gasconade, Maries,Osage, Phelps, Pulaski and Washing-ton counties and their respective cities.A professional staff of 23, directed bythe MRPC board, offers technical as-sistance and services, such as grantpreparation and administration, hous-ing assistance, transportation plan-ning, environmental planning,ordinance codification, business loansand other services to member commu-nities.

A special waste collectionwill be held from 9 a.m. to 1p.m. June 14 in MariesCounty for electronics, ap-pliances and tires. The collection site is lo-cated at Maries CountyShed District #2 at the inter-section of Highway 28 andRoute Z between Belle andVichy. The Maries County Com-mission and the OzarkRivers Solid Waste Manage-ment District (ORSWMD),in partnership with the Mis-souri Department of Natu-ral Resources (MDNR) andthe Meramec Regional Plan-ning Commission (MRPC),are offering the collection. This collection is forhousehold items only–nomaterials from businesses,please. Stoves, washers, dryers,microwaves and other appli-ances will be collected free ofcharge. Electronics collected

for free include computerCPUs, keyboards, printers,VCRs, cell phones and otherelectronics. A $5 fee will be chargedfor the collection of each tel-evisions and computer mon-itor collected. There will beno fee for refrigerant appli-ances. A small fee will also beassessed for tire collection.Passenger tires will have a$1.50 fee each, truck tireswill be charged $5 each, andtractors tires will have a $10fee each. “Ozark Rivers SolidWaste District subsidizesthose costs when it can – asit does with electronics recy-cling—but citizens shouldtake responsibility for thesolid waste that they gener-ate. That’s why the districtcharges for accepting tires.They simply do not have thelocal grant money to coverthe cost of tire amnesty col-

lections,” MRPC AssistantDirector and EnvironmentalPrograms Manager TammySnodgrass said. Those persons bringingitems to the collection mustunload them. The collectionis open to any households inthe Ozark Rivers District,including Crawford, Dent,Gasconade, Maries, Phelps,Pulaski and Washingtoncounties. The solid wastedistrict is tasked with reduc-ing by 40 percent theamount of waste generatedfor disposal.

The Ozark Rivers Districtincludes Crawford, Dent,Gasconade, Maries, Phelps,Pulaski and Washingtoncounties and their respec-tive cities with populations

of 500 or more. The district'sstrategy for solid waste re-duction, which has been in-dividually adopted by allmember governments andapproved by MDNR, in-volves intense educationand increased recycling ef-forts in member countiesand cities. Formed in 1969, MRPC isa voluntary council of gov-ernments serving Crawford,Dent, Gasconade, Maries,Osage, Phelps, Pulaski andWashington counties andtheir respective cities. A professional staff of 25,directed by the MRPCboard, offers technical assis-tance and services, such asgrant preparation and ad-ministration, housing assis-tance, transportationplanning, environmentalplanning, ordinance codifi-cation, business loans andother services to membercommunities.

Brewer says semiconductor leaders, innovatorsin the Midwest are essential to industry’s future

Saint James Press • 1BJune 5, 2014

Dr. Terry Brewer, Founder andPresident of Brewer Science, todayspoke of the importance of the semi-conductor industry in the Midwest,where his company was founded andwhere many innovators are discover-ing new frontiers for microelectron-ics. Dr. Brewer addressedtechnology leaders gathered in Au-rora, Illinois, for the recently formedNorth Central region of SEMI, thelargest trade association for thesemiconductor industry in theUnited States. “There’s a myth that technologyinnovation in microelectronics is lim-ited to companies located on theWest Coast,” said Dr. Brewer. “Ifyou look at the size of the SEMI or-ganization with member companiesacross the country and the number ofbusiness leaders who are gatheredhere today in the Midwest, it is clear

that the semiconductor industry is avibrant coast-to-coast network of in-novators, especially here in SEMI’sNorth Central region. “As an industry, we understandthat the traditional business modelwill not meet our future needs.That’s why we are pushing theboundaries of technology in theglobal marketplace, recognizing it iscritical to find new ways to developand engage the most talented people– whether it’s supporting STEM ed-ucation or spending more resourceson recruitment and training. We cancreate a climate of energy and inno-vation that captures the synergyhere today to grow and inspire entre-preneurship and innovation that willnot only create new technologies, butalso grow our economy at everylevel.” SEMI Member Day 2014, hosted

by Aurora-based Cabot Microelec-tronics, focused on the challengesand potential for the microelectron-ics industry, including workforce de-velopment, advancedmanufacturing, and legislative is-sues. Attendees heard opening re-marks and a welcome by BillJohnson, CFO, Cabot Microelectron-ics, and by Dr. Terry Brewer, Presi-dent of Brewer Science. Other notable speakers includedKaren Savala, President, SEMIAmericas; Jonathan Davis, GlobalVice President, SEMI; Senator JimTalent, member of the U.S.-ChinaEconomic and Security Review Com-mission; Jamie Gerard, Senior Direc-tor, Public Policy, SEMI; JoeWaranyuwat, Instructor, Universityof Illinois at Urbana/Champaign;Stan Shoun, President, RankenTechnical College; Scott Miller, In-

terim Director, Digital Manufactur-ing & Design Institute; and Ian Steff,Senior Advisor, Nanotechnology andAdvanced Manufacturing, Govern-ment of the State of Indiana/IEDC. Dr. Brewer serves as a member ofthe SEMI North America AdvisoryBoard. He is a founding member ofthe Jordan Valley Innovation Center(JVIC) and serves on the board ofSpringfield Innovation, Inc.

By Dan ZarlengaMissouri Departmentof Conservation White-tailed deer anddeer hunting are a largepart of the area’s rich out-door heritage. But that her-itage is facing a significantthreat. Wildlife watchers anddeer hunters may alreadyhave heard about ChronicWasting Disease, or CWD,the fatal nerve disease thatkills cervids like white-tailed deer. It is transmittedby deer-to-deer contact orcontaminated soil, andspreads faster when the an-imals are more concen-trated. Unfortunately, CWD is innow in the Show-Me State.Not only is Missouri’s deerherd threatened, so is the $1billion per year industry and12,000 jobs it supports forour state. Loss of Missouri’sdeer population would bedevastating to the two and ahalf million of our residentswho enjoy, watching, photo-graphing or hunting whitetails. But the loss to Mis-souri’s natural heritagewould beyond measure. The disease was first de-tected in Missouri in 2010 at

a private hunting preservein Linn County. Since then,10 more cases have beenconfirmed in private hunt-ing preserves in both Linnand Macon Counties. Addi-tionally, 10 cases have beenfound in free ranging deerwithin two miles of the sameprivate hunting preserve inMacon County. So far the disease has notyet surfaced near Crawfordand Phelps counties. TheMissouri Department ofConservation (MDC) hopesto keep it that way. MDC has worked withthe public to educate themabout CWD and restrictdeer feeding in the CWDcontainment zone to reducerisks of contamination.MDC has worked withhunters to limit the spreadof CWD by restricting thetransportation of harvesteddeer carcasses into Mis-souri, and by eliminatingantler point restrictions insix north-central countiesnear where CWD has beenfound in order to reduce deerconcentrations. MDC is alsoworking with landowners,hunters, taxidermists andmeat processors to test har-vested deer for CWD.

But there’s more thatneeds to be done. Current areas of concerninclude: • Movement of captivecervids across state lines.Bringing deer from otherstates that might havegreater instances of CWDthan ours puts Missouri’sdeer at risk. • Fencing standards atcaptive cervid facilities.Deer breeders and shootingpreserves have reportedmore than 150 escapes inthe last three years. Deer-to-deer contact is possible with

existing fencing standards. • Current captive cervidtesting is inadequate. Par-ticipation in the CWD HerdCertification Programamong deer breeders is vol-untary, and only for animals12 months or older who diein the facility. Less than 70percent of breeders partici-pate. Big game shooting pre-serves are not required totest for CWD. Rapid detec-tion of CWD is vital to con-trolling its spread. Everybody has a stake inprotecting Missouri’s deerherd, from the general pub-

lic, to hunters, to the captivecervid industry. MDC hasbeen given the constitu-tional authority by the vot-ers of the state to manage allnative wildlife, both free-ranging and captive. It hassuccessfully done so formore than 75 years by utiliz-ing objective data and soundbiological science. To that end, MDC is con-sidering the following poten-tial regulation changes: • Closing Missouri bor-ders to all importation ofdeer • New fencing standards

for captive deer facilities • Mandatory enrollmentof all captive herds in theCWD monitoring program • Testing all deer that diewithin captive facilities thatare six months of age orolder Missourians care aboutour state’s wildlife, and it isvital that they know what isat stake should CWD ex-pand in our free-rangingdeer herd. All are encour-aged to visit MDC.mo.gov toget the facts about CWD andprovide their comments onthe issue.

By Larry Dablemont I went on another floattrip the other day in mid-week with my closest friendswhom I write about often,Dennis and Rich.

I am thinking aboutchanging their names on oc-casion when I write about ahunting or fishing trip so itsounds like I have morefriends. But actually, I havea dozen or so really, reallygood, close friends, men Ican depend on, men whothink like me and have thekinds of convictions I have.That makes you feel rich,like you are blessed beyondbelief. And as you get olderyou realize what great bless-ing it is to have close friends. When you have closefriends, you can float theriver and not have to paddlethe whole distance. Goodfriends will loan you theirvery best fishing lure, andthey will set your leg for youif you break your leg on arocky shoal you are trying towade. If you catch a nicebass, they will take a photoand tell everyone it weigheda half-pound more than itdid, as long as you do thesame thing for them. But Rich and I learnedsomething about DennisWhiteside, whom I have

hunted and fished withsince I was 18. He isn’t thefriend we thought he was.Dennis is a big-time float-fishing guide who takes fur-riners, (city people) onOzark rivers all year long.We don’t know what he isgetting paid, but Rich and Isuspect he may be gettingwealthy. And so sureenough, he shows up with ahat that is said to be thefinest outdoor hat evermade, with more options onit than a new pickup truck.It repels the rain, it deflectsthe sun, it discourages bugs,etc. And it cost him $75! In all my life I never evenhad a pair of pants, shoesand shirt that cost thatmuch altogether. Rich and Iwear old camouflaged ball-cap headwear that you canoccasionally fill with riverwater and slap back on yourhead to cool you down whenyou are out on the water. Mycap, complete with theLightnin’ Ridge emblem onit, costs about $6 and ittakes two years to wear itout even if I sleep in it. Well, Dennis boasts thathis hat is registered, boughtfrom some elite store inSpringfield and they wrotedown his name and addressand if he wears a hole in itor it gets to looking droopy,he can take it in and theywill replace it free with an-

other one just like it. Thenhe drops a real bombshell.He says that they promise ifhe loses it while out in thebush or on the river, theywill give him a FREE ONEto replace it. So Rich and I both tried iton, and found it to be aboutthe most comfortable hunt-ing and fishing hat you eversaw, with enough of a brimon it to keep my red neckfrom getting red when thesun is high and hot. That’swhen I got the idea…I pro-posed that Dennis let mekeep it, and he could go intothe store there in Spring-field with a mournful lookand say that he had his hatblow off his head on theriver during a storm and itwashed back in under anoverhanging bluff and henever saw it again. That’s when he declareshe’s too honest for such athing, and he won’t do it.Honest! This is the sameguy who told his wife heowned a ranch in Coloradobefore she married him.This is the same guy whosold one of his fishing clientsfrom California a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich forthree dollars and a quarter,just because the poor guylost his sack lunch in theriver. Rich and I have talkedabout it, and we decided we

don’t need him. I’m going toSpringfield to get one ofthose registered hats andwear it a couple of weeksand give it to Rich for $37.50and go back and get me anew one, free. That way wewill both get one for halfprice! If they question me, Iwill tell them that we wererobbed by a drug-crazedband from Chicago that wemet on the Current River,and I will have Rich there toback me up, not wearing thehat of course! Early summer is indeedwonderful. I sit here on myporch watching young squir-rels everywhere and thebirds which were only yes-terday building their nestsin the cool breezes of springare now surrounded byyoung birds that look justlike their parents. Boy ithappens fast. Ahead of uslays the dry hot days whenthe water in the rivers andcreeks drop to levels lowerthan we have ever seen be-fore, and the television fo-cuses on the horrible firesburning the west and hurri-canes and tornadoes and il-legal immigrants. But not now. Right nowGod is giving those of us wholive out in the country ataste of heaven. As I growolder I realize that it won’ttake much to make mehappy in heaven. I just want

to see things refined a bit,all these birds and wild crea-tures with no ticks and nosnakes and no flies or mos-quitoes. And no politiciansnor lawyers. But then I guess the tra-ditional part of heaven thesong books speak of, wherethey have gold streets andgold mansions, will surelybe the place where Godsends the lawyers and politi-cians. I just want to find mydad and Uncle Norten andgo fishing on some riversthat looked like they didwhen I was a boy. I have had no quarrelwith the local electric com-pany, but now they havesent me a letter saying theyare going to use chemicalson my land to kill brush. Itwas a belligerent letter.They didn’t say they want totalk about it, the letter justsays they are going to do it,whether I like it or not. Noone knows for sure the com-plete long lasting effect ofany brush-killing chemical,and I do not want it used onmy place, since I have neverused chemicals up here tokill anything. I am going to go talk tosomeone at the SouthwestElectric Company about itand ask them to keep theirchemicals on their property,and not mine. You might

consider talking to them too,in case that is somethingthey are planning it on yourplace and you have the goodsense to know that chemi-cals have no eyes, and theymay kill, over a period oftime, something more thanbrush or weeds. What manyconsider a useless problemplant, some of us may not.My land is covered with bigtrees, and hundreds ofspecies of birds and wildlifeI want to keep. There arepeople who would gladly livein a world of pavement andconcrete and no plants any-where except what theyhave planted. Someday theywill rule the world. It is good that masses ofthem can live like that, likegreat herds of cattle. But afew of us cannot. As I said,maybe heaven for thosekinds can be free of whatthey refer to as “weeds andbrush.” And there perhapsthere will be miles and milesof gold mansions and goldpaved streets, for those wholike that color better thangreen. I see nothing in na-ture that is the true color ofgold, not even sunsets. My website is www.lar-rydablemontoutdoors.blogspot.com. Write to me at Box22, Bolivar, Mo. or emaillightninridge47@gmail.com.

Finding out who your friends are

The Missouri Department of Con-servation (MDC) invites the public toa deer management open-house inRolla from 3 to 8 p.m. on Monday,June 16, at Rolla Junior High SchoolCafeteria, 1360 Soest Road. Thismeeting is one of numerous openhouses being held by the departmentacross the state to discuss deer man-agement with citizens. Attendees will be able to visitbooths focusing on the history of deermanagement in Missouri; the state’snew deer management plan; possibleregulation changes and disease man-agement efforts related to ChronicWasting Disease and other infectiousdiseases; hunter retention and re-cruitment, landowner and non-resi-dent permit privileges, urban deermanagement, and other deer-relatedissues.

The open-house format lets atten-dees concentrate on their particularinterests, asking questions and dis-cussing their ideas one-on-one withbiologists and other key staff. Conser-vation Department Deputy DirectorTom Draper says the goal of themeetings is to provide informationand get feedback. “We need people to tell us whatthey want Missouri’s deer populationto look like and what combination ofhunting seasons, bag limits, andhunting methods they want the Con-servation Department to use toachieve their goals,” says Draper. Deer hunting is an important partof the state’s outdoors heritage. Gen-erations of Missourians have enjoyedthis activity and deer season is stillan event hunters of many ages par-

ticipate in annually. Missouri hasnearly 520,000 deer hunters and al-most two million wildlife watcherswho enjoy deer. Activities related todeer hunting and watching annuallygenerates $1 billion in economic ac-tivity for thousands of Missouri busi-nesses and hundreds of communitiesaround the state, and support morethan 12,000 Missouri jobs. The ap-preciation people have for deer is fur-ther proof of what many stateresidents already know: Missourianscare about conserving forests, fishand wildlife. If people want more informationabout these open houses or are un-able to attend but still want to reviewthe information presented and pro-vide comments, they can go online tomdc.mo.gov/DeerOpenHouse.

The Conservation Commission willreview and consider proposed captivecervid regulations at their June 6meeting. The meeting is at the Conser-vation Department Headquarters inJefferson City (2901 West TrumanBlvd). It begins at 8:30 a.m. The Commission meeting is open to

the public, but attendees wishing tospeak must pre-register. A number ofConservation Federation of Missourimembers have been granted time tospeak, and will testify to the impor-tance of strengthening regulations oncaptive cervids to prevent furtherspread of Chronic Wasting Disease andother deadly diseases. Your presenceat the meeting in support of these reg-ulations will send a strong message tothe Conservation Commission. Missouri's first cases of CWD were

detected in 2010 and 2011 in captivedeer at private big-game hunting pre-

serves in Linn and Macon counties. Atotal of 11 cases of CWD have been con-firmed in captive deer at the facilities.CWD has since been found in 10 free-ranging deer within two miles of thecaptive facility in Macon County. The proposed regulations include

closing the borders to the importationof captive cervids, requiring new cap-tive facilities to double fence (existingfacilities are to be grandfathered inwith a single fence) and mandatorymortality testing. These regulationsalign with what many other states aredoing to prevent the spread of CWD. Ofthe 37 states that have captive-deerbreeding and big-game hunting pre-serves, more than 20 have closed theirborders to the importation of live deer,including Texas, which is home to alarge percentage of the national cap-tive cervid economy. The meeting schedule includes:

• Presentation: National Overviewof Chronic Wasting Disease/DeerHealth Issues.Dr. John Fischer, Director, Southeast-ern Cooperative Wildlife DiseaseStudy, College of Veterinary Medicine,The University of Georgia, Athens,Georgia. • Staff Presentation: Overview of

proposed captive cervid regulations.Larry Yamnitz, Protection DivisionChief, and Mike Hubbard, ResourceScience Division Chief. • Comments: Comments on pro-

posed captive cervid regulations by in-dividuals who submitted writtenrequests prior to the meeting (not toexceed three minutes each). • Action Item: Report of the Regula-

tions Committee, which includes rec-ommendations for changes to theWildlife Code pertaining to captivecervid facilities.

“The eyes of the Worldare upon you. We will ac-cept nothing short of fullvictory.” With those words,Supreme Allied Com-mander General DwightD. Eisenhowerbid the Ameri-can and all thearmies of the al-lied forcesunder his lead-ership, farewellas the massiveinvasion forceas they de-parted for thebeaches of Nor-mandy, Franceon June 6,1944. He wenton to exalt the“courage, devotion andfaith which brought usthrough the perils of war”thus far. This Friday, June6, 2014 marks the 70th an-niversary of “D Day” andthe invasion that ulti-mately extinguished theflame of Nazi Germany. Communities through-

out America, as along withthe dwindling numbers ofveterans of that momen-tous occasion, commemo-rate June 6 annually inservices of remembranceand celebration. Volumesof written manuscripts,books, videos and movieshave been produced in aneffort to inform as well asremind the World of thatoccasion. Veterans of thatera, despite advancing inage, recall with vividmemory what they weredoing during the decisiveconflict. A salute and a tipof the hat to any WorldWar II veterans, as well astheir spouses and families,in St. James, for the com-mitment and service it

took to bring an end tothat deadly conflict. One of the currentmovies being shown at theSt. Louis Science CenterOmniMax Theater is D-Day: 1944. It is a superb

d o c u m e n t a r ycombining his-torical filmfootage withmodern cine-matography re-flecting not onlythe commitmentof those in-volved, but thescope of the oper-ation and thelandscape onwhich it tookplace as well.

The MissouriDepartment ofC o n s e r v a t i o n(MDC) is offeringFree FishingDays coming upJune 7 and 8.Fishing licenses,trout stamps ortags from troutparks will not beneeded on thosedays, in order toencourage peopleto get out and

enjoy the abundant fishing areas ourstate has to offer. Of course, normal state regulations,such as size and quantity of the catch-and-keep fish remain in effect. Certainprivate fishing areas may require per-mits, however, and trespassing regula-tions are still enforced on private andregulated properties. Every county in Missouri offers pub-lic fishing areas for all to enjoy. Out-door activities, such as fishing, boostthe state’s economy and provide agreat pastime for young and old alike.Fishing generates more than $1 billion

for local communities across the state,and supports thousands of jobs. For more information about publicfishing areas, regulations, permits anddetails on how to identify differentspecies of fish, visit the MDC websiteat mdc.mo.gov. Always feel free to contact methroughout the year with any com-ments, questions, or issues by callingmy office at 573-751-5713 or by visitingmy website at www.senate.mo.gov/brown.

In May we celebrate Small BusinessWeek and the many entrepreneurswho take risks in pursuit of the Amer-ican Dream.Small businesseshelp tell the storyof our EighthCongressionalDistrict. Many ofthese businessesprovide uniquegoods and serv-ices that cannotbe found in otherstores. Still oth-ers are passedfrom one genera-tion to the nextand become cor-nerstones of ourlocal communities. Too often, Washing-ton gets in the way of success for smallbusinesses in Missouri. The Small Business Administration(SBA) reports that nearly half of theprivate sector jobs in America are with

small businesses. Over the past 15years, the Administration found thatsmall businesses produced 64% of newjobs created. With this significant im-pact on job growth, it is clear thatsmall businesses are vital to thestrength of our economy. Small busi-ness owners create jobs. Not bureau-crats in Washington. Unfortunately, too many small busi-nesses are struggling to overcome redtape from Washington. Studies haveshown that small businesses are hitharder with the cost of environmentalregulations than large corporations.Furthermore, small businesses pay67% more to comply with the overlycomplex tax code than big businesses.It has even been estimated that onemillion small business jobs will beeliminated as a result of the Oba-macare employer mandate. Overregulation from Washington isstifling growth and punishing businessowners for their hard work and sacri-fice. I am committed to fighting intru-

sive and burdensome regulations fromthe Obama Administration. For toolong, the EPA and IRS have createdunnecessary hurdles that slow eco-nomic growth and progress. Now Oba-macare threatens to unravel theAmerican Dream of owning a business.The House of Representatives haspassed nearly 40 bills aimed at helpingsmall businesses prosper, but the Sen-ate has refused to even bring thesebills up for a vote. The Eighth District of Missouriboasts a diverse and lengthy list ofsmall businesses. From concrete, tolumber, to automobiles and agricul-ture, our home is full of innovative en-trepreneurs. I am proud to representso many industries and the vitalitythat they uniquely bring to our com-munities. I trust small business own-ers to learn, grow, and thrive withoutthe oppressive scrutiny of a bureau-crat. A small business should be locallyowned and controlled, not Washingtonregulated.

The Meramec Region Transporta-tion Advisory Committee (TAC) priori-tized a list of 121 multi-modaltransportation projects throughout theregion to be used for future transporta-tion planning efforts at its April meet-ing. The process began in December, andin February, TAC members as well asmembers of the public were asked tocomplete a survey to help determinethe transportation values of the resi-dents of the region as well as given anopportunity to add projects to the listprior to prioritization. A public forum was held on March11 in Rolla, and, again, the public wasable to identify needs and provideinput on values and funding. Approxi-mately 409 people were invited byemail to take part in the planningprocess. Input was again requested atthe April 10 TAC meeting prior to theprioritization of projects. Later thatevening, with the tallying complete,the Meramec Regional Planning Com-mission (MRPC) board approved theprioritized list of projects. The full list after public input con-tained 121 projects broken into six cat-egories—aviation, rail, public transit,other and non-mode specific, highwaysand bike and pedestrian. The high-ways list included the 26 projects pri-oritized by the TAC in December 2013.TAC members then prioritized each ofthose lists by placing different coloredstickers next to projects they wished tovote for. The different colors were weightedwith different values, allowing TACmembers to give more points to proj-ects they believed to be more valuablefor the region. The top ranking projects in each cat-egory are: • In aviation—Annually set asidefunds for airport infrastructure con-

struction, improvements and expan-sions throughout the region; • In rail—Establish Amtrak railservice from St. Louis to Springfieldalong the Burlington Northern railparalleling Interstate 44, making stopsin Crawford, Phelps and Pulaski coun-ties; • In public transit—Increase ruralpublic transportation services providedfrom averaging two-days-per-week tofive-days-per-week; • In other and non-mode specific—Create a matching grant program forcities and counties covering all trans-portation modes for local projects;· • In highways—Make Highway 63corridor improvements from Highway50 in Osage County to thePhelps/Texas county line to includewidening to four lanes and shoulderand horizontal alignment improve-ments; and • In bike and pedestrian—Annuallyset aside funds for sidewalk repair,connectivity and expansion of facilitiesincluding pedestrian crossings, SafeRoutes To School-type projects, co-usetrails and bike lanes. The prioritized list will become apart of the Meramec Region’s RegionalTransportation Plan to serve as aguide in future planning efforts. Theprioritized multi-modal list is avail-able on MRPC’s website, www.mer-amecregion.org. It will also be used by MoDOT Cen-tral District as a district-wide list oftransportation projects is developed.This list is being prepared as part ofthe ¾ cent sales tax to support trans-portation needs in Missouri that willbe on the November ballot. The Missouri legislature passed leg-islation allowing the ¾ cent sales taxon the November ballot. The legisla-tion requires a list of projects to accom-pany the question so voters know what

projects will be funded by the tax. During the meeting, TAC membersalso reviewed the results of the surveysdone earlier this year. According to the survey, TAC mem-bers and residents of the Meramec Re-gion rank their transportation valuesin the following order: 1. Take care of the transportationsystem and existing services. 2. Invest in projects which spur eco-nomic growth and create jobs. 3. Keep all travelers safe, regardlessof transportation mode. 4. Give Missourians better trans-portation choices. 5.

June Dairy Month is an annual cel-ebration that honors farmers for thedelicious dairy foods they produce. Thedesignation also highlights the impor-tant health benefits that milk, cheeseand yogurt deliver. Loaded with cal-cium, potassium, protein and phospho-rus, dairy foods contribute significantnutrition to Americans’ diets. Although today’s spotlight falls on awide variety of nutritious dairy foods,the very first celebration focused solelyon milk. And its purpose was practical.National Milk Month was created in1937 to help distribute extra milk thatcows typically produced during sum-mertime. With a nod to June Dairy month’spractical origins, St. Louis DistrictDairy Council is encouraging con-sumers to “keep it real” when choosingtheir milk in 2014. “The dairy aisle isliterally exploding with options–every-thing from new milk flavors to lactose-free milks, and even alternativebeverages disguised as milk,” statesregistered dietitian Erin Rich. These alternative beverages areoften plant-based drinks or solutionsmade from rice, soy, nut and hempproducts. Though they share shelf-space with milk, plant-based beveragesdo not share the same nutrient pack-age. Some key differences: • Milk contains naturally occurringcalcium that easily absorbed by our

bodies. Most imitation dairy beveragesare fortified to match milk’s calciumcontent. • Milk provides high-quality pro-tein, with an average of 8 grams percup. Many imitation dairy beverageshave 1 gram of protein or less per cup. • Simple and natural, milk is voidof added sugars, flavorings or stabiliz-ers, which are often found in the ingre-dient list of many imitation dairybeverages. • At less than 25 cents per cup,milk is a nutritious bargain. Most imi-tation dairy beverages are twice thecost of milk. “It’s important for consumers toknow that, when it comes to nutrition,not all dairy aisle drinks are createdequal,” notes Rich. We’ve launched anawareness campaign called milk: thereal deal to help spread the word.There is no substitute for the high nu-trition and economic value that milkoffers. It’s the real deal!” To learn more about milk: the realdeal, visit stldairycouncil.org. To celebrate June Dairy Month,families can: • Aim for three servings of dairyevery day. Making milk the mealtimebeverage is an easy way to reach thisgoal. • Use milk instead of water whenmaking oatmeal, hot cereals andsoups. This simple swap adds nutri-

ents and great taste. • Help fruit smoothies go furtherwith dairy’s protein power. Make suremilk or yogurt is “in the mix” to helpbuild healthy muscles. Sip into sum-mer with this seasonal recipe:
