MODOT WAIVES FEE FOR MOVING WIDE HAY LOADS Severe weather throughout Missouri and surrounding states has prompted a special hauling permit to help farmers move hay as needed for livestock. The permit will allow for the movement of wider loads through Dec. 31 of this year. At the Department of Agriculture’s request, the Missouri Department of Transportation is waiving the fee for blanket oversize permits to haul wide loads of hay. The fee is waived through Dec. 31 on loads up to 12 feet, four inches wide, that are of legal height, length and weight. In addition to the savings of up to $64, the waiver will allow hay movements to take place over holidays and at night, a practice not normally allowed. At night, or when visibility is less than 500 feet, drivers must use a reflective, oversized load sign and clearance lights instead of flags at the edges of their loads. “Missouri farmers are facing challenges as a result of the extremely dry conditions our state is experiencing,” said Director of Agriculture Dr. Jon Hagler. “Waiving the permit fee for our state’s farmers and haulers transporting hay will certainly help livestock and crop producers continue doing what they do best. We appreciate MoDOT’s continued cooperation and support of Missouri’s agriculture industry throughout these severe conditions.” Because many highways are under repair and might have narrow lanes, drivers are expected to review their route for work zone restrictions before beginning their trip. They must adhere to all other permit requirements, such as proper signing and lighting, and they must stop at weigh stations. Farmers should call MoDOT’s Motor Carrier Services office at 1-800-877-8499 to report the year, make and license plate number of their power unit and provide their business name and address. Motor Carrier Services will then issue the permits by fax or email. More resources and information about drought conditions, as well as a directory for producers needing to buy and sell hay are available online at mo.gov.

MoDOT workers put the finishing touches on the new Sugar Creek Bridge on Highway 16 east of Monticello. The bridge was reopened on July 24 with ribbon cutting ceremonies to be held July 26. The new bridge took about 70 days to complete.

Sugar Creek bridge on Highway 16 east of Monticello opened for traffic on July 24. A ribbon cutting is scheduled for July 26 at 11 a.m. MoDOT officials, contractors, federal, state and local officials are scheduled to attend. The public is invited. The new bridge is eight feet wider than the one it replaced and took almost two months to complete. This is the final bridge of three that was replaced on MoDOT’s Safe and Sound Bridge Program. Route E over the Wyaconda River and Route 156 over Big Grassy Creek also were replaced within the last two years. The Safe and Sound Bridge program is a great example of what can be accomplished when funding is available,” said MoDOT Area Engineer Amy Crawford. “With current transportation funding levels, it is unlikely Missourians will see the number of bridge improvements we’ve had.”

DRY CONDITIONS AFFECTING LIVESTOCK

Drought conditions not only hurt field crops, but many of the area pastures are suffering because of the extreme heat and dry weather.

CANTON FESTIVAL THEATRE PRESENTS MURDER MYSTERY The Canton Festival Theatre will present a murder-mystery dinner theatre production of The Button Factory Caper at the Lewis Street Playhouse on August 4 at 6 p.m. and a dessert matinee performance on August 5 at 2 p.m. Pearl thieves, insurance scammers and a genealogy fanatic intent on protecting the honor of Canton’s button factory-- who has the best motive to murder the announcer at the Golden Eagle Showboat? That’s the question Col. Amos Hart will have to unravel. Col. Hart has returned to the

Golden Eagle to see a revival of David Steinbeck’s musical “Pearl, the Button Factory Girl’ after receiving an anonymous tip that someone plans to sabotage the show to protect an ancestor’s honor. Little does he know that relatives of the button factory workers, and even some shady dealers from a big-city garment district insurance outfit, have also come to the show to get clues for finding a stash of pearls hidden beneath the factory floor boards. Now that Canton’s real button factory has come down, there’s treasure to recover.

FARM BUREAU INSURANCE

As the show starts, the announcer promises a surprise revelation about the historic button factory at the final curtain. Before that curtain can fall, however, the announcer is foully murdered. Which one of these suspicious guests is desperate enough to have done the deed? The audience will help Col. Hart solve the caper and save the pearls by listening to each alibi and even questioning some of the witnesses, if they want to be a part of the fun. Reservations and ticket information are available at the Playhouse office by

calling Carrie Strobel at (231) 330-0722 or email at lewisstplayhouse@hotmail.com The buffet for the dinner performance will be provided by Riverside Smoke House. Proceeds from shows will got to the Canton Festival Theatre to keep live community theatre an important part of the programming in the Lewis Street Playhouse. Both the Playhouse and Canton Festival Theatre are member organizations of the Canton Area Art Council, a nonprofit organization affiliated with the Missouri Arts Council.

In response to recent extreme temperatures and drought that has impacted forage acres, John Wheeler, Lewis County executive director of USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), announced emergency haying and grazing use of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres is now authorized in Lewis County, Missouri. According to Wheeler, 73 Missouri counties have been released for emergency haying and grazing. Emergency haying in approved counties is al-

lowed through Aug. 31, 2012. Participants must leave at least 50 percent of each field or contiguous fields unhayed for wildlife. Hay must be removed from the field by Sept. 15. Emergency grazing in approved counties is allowed through Sept. 30, 2012. Participants shall leave at least 25 percent of each field or contiguous CRP field ungrazed, or graze not more than 75 percent of the stocking rate. All livestock must be removed by the end of the grazing period.

Canton Police Report

American Red Cross Blood Donations Low in July as Temperatures Peak

The Canton Police report for June 29 to July 19 includes the following arrests. Nathanial R. Logsdon, 26, Canton, was arrested for domestic assault. Linda A. Johnson, 43, Columbia, was arrested for C and I driving and driving while intoxicated. Kelvin G. Nelson, 47, Canton, was arrested on a Lewis County FTA warrant. Casey E. Tarpein, 29, Canton, was arrested on a Lewis County warrant for felony assault. Ashley N. Porter, 23, Canton was arrested on a Canton Municipal FTA warrant. Garrett M. Serbin, 18, Canton, was arrested for stealing and minor in possession of alcohol. Janis A. Allen, 62, Canton, was arrested for driving while intoxicated. The department reports 47 traffic violations.

With extreme heat keeping some donors at home and severe storms forcing the cancellation of dozens of blood drives earlier in the month, the American Red Cross continues to have an emergency need for donors of all blood types. If at least two additional donors give at each blood drive through the end of July – above what the American Red Cross already expects to collect the blood supply would be sufficient to meet patient needs. Red Cross blood donations are at the lowest they have been in 15 years. Public support from the organization’s late-June appeal helped temporarily stop a decline in the blood supply. M K

However, the mid-week Independence Day and extreme summer weather have contributed to a decrease in donations lately. Every two seconds,

someone in the United States needs blood. As the nation’s single largest supplier of blood and blood products, the Red Cross is dedicated to ensuring that

USDA Authorizes Emergency Haying and Grazing of CRP Acres for Lewis County Wheeler said emergency haying and grazing is not allowed on the same acreage and only certain CRP practices are eligible.

P.C. Bait P.C. Bait owned by Carl and Peggy Corbin opened at their house in LaGrange in 2001. They moved to downtown LaGrange in 2003. Their first location was flooded in 2008 and the building has been torn down as part of the flood buy-out program. They moved to the current location at 117 North Main in 2009. The historic building has been used to house a bank, restaurant, and other businesses. Snappy Cuts, was the most recent occupant before P.C. Bait. The building also has several apartments. With the Mississippi River close by, P.C. Bait is a stopping point for area fishermen. They offer a wide variety of bait which includes minnows,

worms, goldfish and other live bait. They also have a wide selection of packaged bait that attract catfish, carp and other types of fish. Carl Corbin can advise fishermen as to what type of bait is needed. Pictures of prize fish hang on the wall and many people stop in after their fishing trip to show off their most recent catch. Fishermen like to brag and P.C. Bait is the perfect place to show off the biggest fish caught on bait purchased earlier in the day. The business sells hunting and fishing equipment, including ammunition, fishing poles and lines, bobbers, lures and other supplies. They currently sell hunting fishing licenses, but Corbin says the Missouri Department of Conservation will soon be selling those licenses mainly

A few months after opening Tony’s Garage was flooded by one of the biggest floods in history and owner Tony Jacobs found himself chauffeuring CBS News anchor Dan Rather around the streets of LaGrange in his boat. The business was closed for several weeks but once the water receded it soon reopened . The business was again flooded out in 2008, and once again he reopened as soon as the water went down and clean up could begin.

EDITORIAL ADVENTURES OF WONDER MOM

A PHOTO FROM YESTERYEAR

Organizing Your Life Step Two- Time Management “Susie has ballet.” “Greg has soccer.” “Where’s dinner?” “Mom?! Where’s my favorite outfit?!” Every mother has heard theseor at least something very similar. In today’s world, more and more women are pushed to try to fulfill what television and movies describe as the “perfect mother”. The perfect mother has a spotless house, takes her kids to school, picks them up, prepares three meals a day and dessert at dinner, is always looking like she came off a runway, attends every event her children are in, and still finds time for herself. Before I say anything else, I’d like to clarify something. Real mothers are not like that! Some women are blessed with very helpful husbands who come home and clean and help with the kids. Some women have a more “old fashioned” marriage where the husband works while the mother stays home. Every mother’s situation is different, so no mother should ever compare themselves to movie mothers or even the mother next door. Every woman handles work, kids, marriage, etc., differently. For example, I’m not the ‘stay-at-home-mom type’. I actually hold the women that do stay at home all day with their children in very high regard. Why? Because no matter how much I love my daughter and understand that she is still very young, when I stay at home all day with her every single day, she drives me insane. Personally, it’s much easier for me to come home after working all day and continue to ‘work’ by cleaning, preparing dinner, and talking care of my daughter. If I make the mistake of sitting down, I’m done for the evening. Also, I feel that my time apart from my daughter helps me to appreciate the time that I do have with her in the evenings. With all of this being said, no mother’s schedule is the same either. Some mothers work, some mothers stay at home; some mothers have babies, some have teenagers. The first step to managing all the activities you do in a day is to buy a good planner that not only has months but also daily places for you to write down your every activity. The next step is to begin timing every task you do. This seems silly, but it’s the best way to find out just how much you can do in a 24-hour day. For example, cleaning our one bathroom takes me about 25 minutes, and cleaning the living room from top to bottom takes about 15. Go through every chore in your house, how long it

BARTLETT takes to get to work, how long you’re at work, how long (on average) your children’s events last, how long it takes to make dinner, eat, etc. Write it all down; it seems like a tedious process, but it’s very rewarding once you begin to make your schedule and have time “left over.” Sit down with your planner and the place where you wrote down all the time it takes for you to do all your activities. I bought a planner that actually went through every hour of the day from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. which was pretty handy for me. Begin by taking all the times you know that you will be away from home and writing them into the planner. For example, every Thursday at 6 p.m. your son has karate, you work from 9-5, etc. In the ‘spaces’ in between work, taking the kids here and there, etc., fill in those times with tasks that can be fulfilled in the time allotted. If you get home at 5:15 and your son’s karate class is at 6, you may have time to through together dinner, but if not, there are other tasks, such as cleaning the bathroom or vacuuming the house that might be able to be done during that time. Some household activities can be done simultaneously, such as cooking while the laundry is running, vacuuming while the dishwasher is going, etc., and if you are good at multi-tasking, (I am not) you may even be able to do other chores at once such as doing dishes while cooking or other things. It’s hard to keep yourself going like this at times, but what motivates me is actually a physic’s law: A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Don’t overload your schedule, and leave yourself enough room for something to take longer than usual. Typically, when I follow my schedule every day keeping myself in constant motion, I find that I end up having at least two or three hours in the evening to do what I love most- spend time with my family and relax.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal July 23, 1987 Lewis County voters will be trying a new ballot in the August 4 election.

Former Christian Church being demolished BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com

The former Christian Church at Fourth and Skinner Streets in LaGrange is being torn down. Owner Barb Borgstadt said the old building is in bad condition and needs to be demolished. Workers began removing old flooring this week. According to the History of LaGrange Sesquicentennial Book printed in 1982, The Church of Christ of LaGrange was organized September 9, 1850, with 24 charter members. The names of some of the families were Susanna Bozarth, Mrs. VanNest, Francais and Sarah Sudduh, Charley and Will Hagood, Rueben Barker, John Barlett, Allen Tate, Mary Tate, Sarah Morton, Margaret Gill and H. B. Bates. The first record of a preacher is Wesley Wright in 1860. Over the years several revivals were held which built up the church. In the mid-1880s, Willis Mussetter came and tried to stir up more enthusiasm. On December 6, 1890, S. M. Martin held a meeting which closed January 5, 1891, with 63 additions. In January 1891 Brother Buckner was called as pastor and served three years doing much to build up the church. Over the years the church saw many improvements in the build-

Campen Offers Air Conditioning Tips BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com

During this hot weather, air conditioners are working overtime to keep up with the heat and humidity. John Campen, owner of Campen Heating and Air Conditioning, offers these tips to keep air conditioners running smoothly. Campen reminds everyone to change or clean the filters on their units as this is one of the major causes of units not working properly. Keep the coils clean on the central air units outside. Have a professional service the system at the beginning of each cooling season. During the hot weather, don’t turn off the unit. whether central air or a window unit, the air will

be cooler in a house if the unit is left on and it takes a long time to recover and the humidity builds up making it harder to cool the area down. Several websites also offer tips to keep a home cool. They include closing the drapes on the sunny side of the house to keep the heat out. Make sure the cooled air coming from the air conditioning vents is not obstructed by furniture or drapes. Don’t use appliances that generate heat during the hottest part of the day, which includes stoves, ovens and dryers. Many people opt to use microwave ovens or outdoor grills. Campen said his company has had many calls recently to repair central air units, and so far they have been performing same day service.

Ameren Grant Programming To honor those powering positive change, Ameren Missouri has launched a statewide campaign to honor local individuals and nonprofit organizations that make a difference in the community. The Ameren Missouri Powers Change program celebrates everyday heroes and their preferred charities, awarding more than $20,000 in funding to power positive change in Ameren Missouri’s service area. Individuals are encouraged to nominate themselves or another individual to win money for a designated nonprofit by visiting Facebook.com/ AmerenMissouri before August 6 to upload a photo and short essay describing

how they power positive change, for example, how they make a difference, inspire others, contribute to the community or how a nonprofit of choice can use the grant money if selected as a finalist. Ten finalists will be awarded $250 for themselves and $1,000 for their nonprofit; one grand prize winner will receive $10,000 for their designated organization and the runner-up will win $2,500 for their nonprofit of choice. The voting phase will be from August 12-31 and is open to anyone who visits the Facebook page once entries are posted in August. Prize winners will be determined by entries receiving the most votes.

Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, reminds motorists that discarding a cigarette while driving can be extremely hazardous. Missouri is experiencing historically dry conditions due to the lack of rain. A cigarette butt coming into contact with even the smallest amount of the extremely dry grass throughout the state quickly can become a dangerous fire. Discarding a cigarette butt is considered littering, which is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and/ or up to one year in jail. Discarded cigarette butts leading to a fire may result

in further criminal charges being filed. Missouri firefighters have already worked numerous fires throughout the state. Many acres of land and several structures have been lost. With little relief in sight, everyone is urged to take every precaution to protect our state from additional risk of fire. “Missourians are encouraged to remain vigilant regarding the dry conditions we are experiencing,” said Colonel Replogle. “Keep safety in mind and think ahead. Your actions could have devastating consequences.”

Mark Twain Rural Telephone Company has awarded a $500.00 College Scholarship to North Shelby High School graduate, Rachel Echternacht. Rachel and her parents, Paul and Leslie Echternacht, reside near Leonard, Mo. In the fall, Rachel plans to attend Truman State University in Kirskville and major in Business. The students who applied for this scholarship showed excellence in all areas, including grade point average, honors and awards, community service, and future plans to return to their rural areas after graduation. Recognizing the disparities between rural and urban access to higher education, Mark Twain wants to help further higher education among rural youth. This college scholarship is intended to offer young people from rural areas an opportunity to receive such an education. Numerous studies reveal that rural students are consistently disadvantaged in post-secondary aspiration and enrollments when compared to students in urban and suburban areas. Rural Americans are more likely to cite financial difficulties as one of their major impediments to attending college than any other group. It is a goal of Mark Twain to ease such challenges. Mark Twain is interested not only in the statistics on college attendance by rural Americans, but also by the need for those who attend college to take their higher education back to their rural communities.

Physical Therapy Helping to Combat Childhood Obesity According to the latest research, childhood obesity has become an epidemic and cause for great concern. Childhood obesity rates have tripled in the last 30 years and more children are at risk for problems that are typically seen in adults including high blood pressure, diabetes, and high

cholesterol. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, childhood obesity can be defined as having a body mass index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile for children of the same age and sex. It is best to see your medical professional or pediatrician to calculate a child’s BMI and to determine if a

child is obese. (Children are referenced as being 2 and older.) Even though weight management is a main concern with childhood obesity, physical therapy can play a role in treating secondary conditions. Excess weight on the body causes increased pressure on the joints which can lead to

joint pain and problems, as well as increased stress on ligaments or other joint supporting structures. In addition, with excess weight, a child tends to have strength deficits and their muscles do not support their body as they are typically designed to do. Goals for overweight and obese children should

be a weight management including increased cardiovascular exercise, increased physical activity, and decreased sedentary time. Because childhood obesity often leads to adult obesity, it is important to try to change lifestyle; meaning it is important to include the family, and for adults to lead by ex-

ample and participate with children in activity and healthy habits. Physical Therapy treats children to help with joint pain, joint weakness, and muscle strengthening. For more information, please call Hannibal Regional Hospital - Bowling Green Physical Therapy at 573324-6079.

Fields enclosed, how. 272.220. All fields and enclosures in which livestock are kept or placed shall be enclosed by a lawful fence. Trespass by stock, damages and compensation--action--lien. 272.230. If any horses, cattle or other stock trespass upon the premises of another, the owner of the animal shall for the first trespass make reparation to the party injured for the true value of the damages sustained, to be recovered with costs before an associate circuit judge, or in any court of competent jurisdiction, and for any subsequent trespass the party injured may put up the animal or animals and take good care of them and immediately notify the owner, who shall pay to the taker-up the amount of the damages sustained, and such compensation as shall be reasonable for the taking up and keeping of the animals, before he shall be allowed to remove them, and if the owner and taker-up cannot agree upon the amount of the damages and compensation either party may make complaint to an associate circuit judge of the county, setting forth the fact of the disagreement, and the associate circuit judge shall be possessed of the cause, and shall issue a summons to the adverse party and proceed with the cause as in other civil cases. If the owner recovers, he shall recover his costs and any damages he may have sustained, and the associate circuit judge shall issue an order requiring the taker-up to deliver to him the animals. If the taker-up recover, the judgment shall be a lien upon the animals taken up, and, in addition to a general judgment and execution, he shall have a special execution against the animals to pay the judgment rendered and costs. Adjoining landowners obligated to build fence--when--exceptions. 272.235. If there is a need for a fence by either of two joining landowners both shall be obligated to build and maintain a fence under the provisions of sections 272.210 to 272.370.

Whenever the owner of real estate desires to erect or construct a lawful fence which wholly or partially borders the land of another, he shall notify the other owner that he desires a division fence. If within ninety days after receiving the notice, the other landowner has not erected or constructed one-half of the division fence, the owner desiring the fence may apply to the associate division of the circuit court for an order to proceed with the construction and ordering the other landowner to pay one-half the value of so much thereof, as borders his land, and upon the payment shall own an undivided one-half of the fence; except that no owner shall be required to pay more than one-half the value of a lawful fence of four barbed wires, regardless of the type fence constructed. The associate division of the circuit court costs shall be taxed against the other landowner. Duty of judge if parties disagree on value--fence viewers to estimate. 272.250. If the parties interested fail to agree as to the value of one-half of the fence, the owner of the fence may apply to a circuit or associate circuit judge of the county, who shall without delay issue an order to three disinterested householders of the township, not of kin to either party, reciting the complaint, and requiring them to view the fence, estimate the value thereof, and make return under oath to the judge on the day named in the order. Value of fence may be recovered, when. 272.260. If the person thus assessed or charged with the value of one-half of any fence, under the provisions of sections 272.210 to 272.370 shall neglect or refuse to pay over to the owner of the fence the amount so awarded, the same may be recovered before a court of competent jurisdiction. Fence owners may agree on maintenance--agreement recorded--refusal to agree, procedure. 272.270. 1. The several owners may, in writing, agree upon the portion of partition fences between their lands which shall be erected and maintained by each, which writing shall describe the lands and the parts of the fences so assigned, be signed and acknowledged by them, and filed and recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds of the county or counties in which they are situated. Any such agreement shall bind the makers, their heirs and assigns. 2. When one owner desires to make a division of the fence between his land and an adjoining

Duties of judge if parties disagree on repairs--fence viewers to designate. 272.280. If the parties cannot agree as to the part each shall have and keep in repair, either of them may apply to a circuit or associate circuit judge of the county who shall forthwith summon three disinterested householders of the township to appear on the premises, giving three days’ notice to each of the parties of the time and place where said viewers shall meet, and the viewers shall, under oath, designate the portion to be kept in repair by each of the parties interested, and notify them in writing of the same. Special partition fences--owner may demand payment, when. 272.290. Whenever the fence of any owner of real estate now erected or constructed, or which shall hereafter be erected, constructed or rebuilt, the same being thereafter a fence designed to restrain swine, sheep or other animals requiring special fences, borders the land of another or which becomes a part of the fence bordering the land of another and is used to enclose such animals owned by the other person, on demand made by the person owning the fence, the other person shall pay the owner one-half of the value of so much thereof as borders his land, and upon the payment shall own an undivided half of the fence; except that no owner shall be required to pay more than the amount which would have been required to erect, construct or rebuild a lawful fence of four barbed wires on his one-half of the fence. Fees of fence viewers, judge and sheriff--taxed as costs. 272.300. The persons appointed by the judge under sections 272.250 and 272.280 to discharge the duties therein specified, shall receive five dollars each per day for the time actually employed, which, together with the fees of the judge and sheriff, shall be taxed as costs in the case against the parties in proportion to their respective interests, and collected accordingly.

Every person owning a part of a division fence shall keep the same in good repair according to the requirements of sections 272.210 to 272.370. Either party owning land adjoining a division fence may, upon the failure of any of the other parties, have all that part of the division fence belonging to the other parties repaired, upon the failure of the other party to do so, the repairing to be at the cost of the party so failing to repair his part of the fence. Division fence not to be removed--exceptions. 272.320.

MV then played the host team Booneville All Stars. MV started out strong leading 7 to 2 in the third inning. Booneville battled back to tie the game by the top of the 5th inning. MV scored

4 runs in the bottom of the frame and held Booneville scoreless in the 6th to take the win. Booneville went through the loosers bracket to face MV in the championship game. Leading 7 to 2 in the 5th inning MV was able to plate 6 runs capped by a walkoff 3 run blast over the left center fence by Koy Smith (Kahoka) to win by the 10 run rule. MV put the bat on the ball consistently with only 7 strikeouts total in 3 games and played extremely solid defense to help account for their success.

Culver-Stockton Names Volleyball Coach

IAIN BRADBURY

Culver-Stockton College Athletic Director Greg McVey has named Iain Bradbury as its first head coach of the newly developed men’s volleyball program. “It became evident through the search process that Iain would be a perfect fit for our institution,” said McVey. “His passion for coaching and teaching will serve our student-ath-

letes in a positive manner. I look forward to working alongside him as we begin our men’s volleyball program.” Bradbury most recently served as an assistant women’s volleyball coach at Springfield (Mass.) College from August 2010 to May 2012. During his tenure, the Pride compiled a 65-8 overall record and advanced to the NCAA Division III Elite Eight in 2011; “When Mr. McVey offered me the position, I was incredibly honored and excited,” said Bradbury. “Culver-Stockton is certainly an incredible institution and the athletics department is undoubtedly on the fast track to great things under McVey’s leadership.” “I knew immediately that I wanted to work alongside the knowledge-

able and experienced coaches and administrators of C-SC. I am excited and enthusiastic about working with Coach (Caren) Kemner in the fall and look forward to learning from and contributing to her program.” The men’s volleyball program won’t begin competition until the 2013-14 school year, giving Bradbury a year to recruit and get settled in his new surroundings. He will assist the women’s program during the 2012 season. “Throughout my first year at Culver-Stockton, I will be laying the groundwork for the inaugural season of competition by organizing, planning and recruiting for the men’s program,” related Bradbury. “Starting with various club programs in the St. Louis and Chicago areas this fall, recruiting and

planning will be a major component of this preparation year. I look forward to recruiting future Wildcats that will demonstrate the true definition of a student-athlete.” Bradbury, who is a graduate of Springfield College, also has experience coaching at the high school level. He was the head boys volleyball coach at West Springfield High School from January 2010 to June 2012, and the head girls volleyball coach at Macduffie High School in Springfield, Mass., from August 2009 to December 2009. Bradbury graduated from Springfield College with a bachelor’s degree in movement in sports studies in 2010, and a master’s degree in physical education and sport performance in May 2012.

Potential Deer Disease Due to Drought The Missouri Department of Conservation reports that white-tailed deer are susceptible to a variety of diseases, parasites and injuries. This summer has been unusually hot and dry and these weather conditions can promote certain disease or parasite outbreaks that can impact a deer herd locally or regionally. Hemorrhagic disease (HD) is and infectious disease of white-tailed deer, with outbreaks occurring sporadically in Missouri. HD includes both epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) and bluetongue viruses (BTV). These diseases are very closely related and produce similar symptoms in deer. Domestic ruminants such as cattle and goats show on signs of illness or only mild signs when infected. In contrast, domestic sheep may develop severe illness when infected with BTV. HD is transmitted by biting midge flies. Disease outbreaks tend to occur from August to October, when midges are most abundant. The disease may go unnoticed in the wild because deer carcasses quickly decompose and are consumed

by scavengers. Some infected deer may not show obvious symptoms. However, others may die in one to three days. Typical signs include fever, excessive salivation, swollen neck, tongue or eyelids, sloughed or interrupted growth of hooves and significant weight loss. Because sick deer are feverish, they are often found near water. Incidence of the disease has ranged from a few scattered mild cases to dramatic outbreaks. Death rates during thee outbreaks are generally below 20 percent, although losses of up to 50 percent have been documented. Lewis County experienced HD in the summer of 2007. Several dead deer reports were noted in various areas throughout the county.. with the current local drought conditions and extreme heat, whitetailed deer will congregate around water which could in turn increase the spread of this devastating disease. If a dead deer is found and the cause of death is not apparent, report it to Lewis County Conservation Agent Brock McArdle at (573) 822-5178.
