The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) recently held open-house-style public meetings in southern Missouri to share information about proposed plans for elk restoration in the region and to gather comments from the public.
About 300 people attended the meetings, which were held in Van Buren on Aug. 23, Eminence on Aug. 24 and Ellington on Aug. 26.
MDC staff visited with members of the public at information tables that focused on various aspects of the proposed elk restoration. Topics discussed included animal health testing, the restoration zone, herd and habitat management and possible economic benefits from elk hunting and related tourism.
While the Conservation Commission has yet to approve the proposed restoration plan, the draft calls for extensive testing of all imported elk for various diseases. Following this, the proposed plan calls for a limited release of 80 to 150 cow and bull elk in early 2011 into a 365-square-mile restoration zone around the Peck Ranch Conservation Area in Shannon, Carter and Reynolds counties. According to MDC research, this area has suitable habitat, consists mostly of public lands, has limited roads running through it and has limited agriculture activity.
The MDC completed a feasibility study and held public meetings on potential elk restoration in 2000. The Conservation Commission suspended plans at that time due to the emerging issue of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and habitat concerns.
“Missourians are tied to the land and the wildlife,” said MDC Deputy Director Tom Draper. “We have an opportunity here to restore a native species that can coexist with other wildlife and land uses. There may be some issues, but we can work together to fix those. MDC wants to be a good neighbor.”

New restrictions on sexual businesses in Missouri will take effect Saturday after a judge denied a request to block the law.
Cole County Circuit Judge Jon Beetem said Friday that sexually oriented businesses likely will suffer economic loss as a result of the law. But he says that alone does not affect the legal analysis of the constitutional claims.

Among this list of stadiums, there may be no better example of good will toward others than how Orchard Farm's football stadium got its name.
Devastated by the Great Flood of 1993, 90 percent of the Orchard Farm School District was underwater. It was one of three Missouri schools selected by the central European country of Luxembourg to be given financial aid as repayment for American liberation of Europe during World War II.

Gov. Jay Nixon reminded Missouri seniors and other consumers on Friday that a new law protects them when cancelling certain types of health-related insurance policies. Senate Bill 583, signed by Gov. Nixon on July 13, requires that consumers get prorated refunds when canceling long-term care and Medigap insurance policies.
The new law says consumers who pay in advance for these policies then cancel in the middle of their contract term will get some of their premiums refunded. For example, if a consumer pays a year's worth of long-term care premiums, then cancels after six months, that consumer will get a refund of six months' worth of premiums.
"A refund for what you don't use sounds like a basic concept, but until now, this was not required under the law," Gov. Nixon said. "This change gives seniors the flexibility to switch insurance policies as their needs change - and not lose the payments they've made for future coverage."
Long-term care coverage, sold by private insurance companies, covers nursing home, home health and other expenses for consumers who are unable to perform basic daily tasks. Medigap insurance, also sold by private companies, covers deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs required by Medicare. Medigap is also called Medicare Supplement insurance.
The new law affects Medigap and long-term care insurance policies that are sold or renewed after Jan. 1, 2011.
Gov. Nixon made the announcement from the Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration (DIFP) office in Jefferson City. He was joined by DIFP Director John M. Huff and representatives of the AARP, the Silver Haired Legislature and the Missouri Association of Area Agencies on Aging. |

The Orchard Farm football team has been decent for the past several seasons, going 17-23 the last four years which included a 5-5 mark in 2009.
The one thing Eagles coach Phil Kendall knows for sure, though, is that his team is ready to take that next step past .500 and 2010 provides as good a chance as any for Orchard Farm.
