term that expires June 30, 2023. Wood replaces James T. Blair, IV, of St. Louis whose Commission appointment expired. Wood’s appointment will be subject to confirmation by the Missouri Senate. Wood is the director of operations at Woodland Operations and Maintenance, where she is involved in the daily management of 20,000 acres of land in the Missouri Ozarks. She is only the fifth woman appointed to the Conservation Commission in the Department’s 80 year history. “Nicole’s passion for the outdoors and her strong business acumen will be extremely beneficial to the Commission’s ongoing work in strategic planning, budget guidance, and Wildlife Code regulations,” said Missouri Department of Conservation Director Sara Parker Pauley. Wood serves on the boards of the National Wildlife Federation, Conservation Federation of Missouri, Parkland Hospital Foundation, and the National Wildlife Federation Endowment. She and her family share a passion for the outdoors. “Missouri has the best Department of Conservation in the United States and, to be part of that as a commissioner is an incredisble honor,” Wood said. “I look forward to working with all the commissioners, staff and citizens on continuing to make the Department the best in the country.” Her interest in the outdoors started at a young age while on family hunting and fishing trips. She enjoys floating, rafting, kayaking or just sitting on a gravel bar. Wood also has a family history of commitment to conservation with her father, Howard Wood, serving as commissioner from 1997 to 2003. The Missouri Conservation Commission controls, manages, restores, conserves and regulates the bird, fish, game, forestry and all wildlife resources of the state, including hatcheries, sanctuaries, refuges, reservations and all other property owned, acquired or used for such purposes, as well as the acquisition and establishment of those properties.

The Liberty Eagles have played Willow Springs, Cabool, and Thayer in a Jamboree for years. This year? Not so much. Liberty travels to Mountain Grove on Friday to take on not only the Panthers, but also the West Plains Zizzers. While the standard set of plays likely won’t change (Liberty has run the same plays for years at the Jamboree), the scenery may provide a better glimpse of just how good the Eagles are in some respects. Returning 16 starters and 17 upper-classmen, the Eagles will still have a new look as they replace the likes of Josh Pruett, Brenton Bush, and Marcos Rodriguez. All three players were All-State, but in 2017, the star of the show could be the offensive and defensive lines. The Eagles return four of five starting offensive linemen, plus 6’4” tight end Andrew Holdon. Defensively, Liberty returns three tackles, one defensive end, and two linebackers. Overall, it is one of the bigger groups in terms of numbers and size that Liberty has put on the football field. Coach Acklin notes that both lines “should be our strength this year,” but adds, “Our linemen must become a unit for us to be successful. Big time players will have to play big in big games.” When it comes to big-time See Eagles on Page 11

containing up to 30% DEET for infants over 2 months of age. Clothing and gear can be sprayed with a repellent product called permethrin. Items should be sprayed and allowed to dry completely before use. Permethrin-treated items will remain effective for multiple washings. Permethrin should only be applied to clothing or gear, not to skin. Wear light colored clothing to make it easier to spot ticks that are crawling up. When possible, tuck clothing in to prevent ticks from crawling under clothing and attaching to the skin. After spending time in tick infested areas, do a thorough check for ticks. Showering soon after coming indoors is also recommended to more easily locate crawling or attached ticks. Remove ticks as soon as possible. Clothing worn outdoors can be placed in a dryer on high heat for at least 10 minutes to kill any ticks on the clothing. If the clothing is damp, additional time may be needed. If clothing needs to be washed immediately, wash in hot water and then dry on high heat until no longer damp.
