MDC to increase prices for some non-resident permits starting in 2020

8/26/2019

 
Prices not raised in over a decade, adjustments needed to keep up with increasing costs.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will increase the prices for some nonresident hunting and fishing permits starting in 2020. According to MDC, permit prices have not been raised in over a decade and adjustments are needed to help keep up with increasing costs of providing conservation programs and services around the state.
The price increases were given initial approval by the Missouri Conservation Commission at its May 23 meeting. As part of the rulemaking process, MDC asked for public comment on the changes during July. The Commission then considered input received and approved the increases during its Aug. 23 meeting.
The effective date will be Feb. 29, 2020, for these nonresident permit price increases:
NONRESIDENT PERMIT          PREVIOUS PRICE        NEW PRICE   
Daily Fishing (1 Day)                 $7                                  $8                         
Daily Fishing (3 Days)               $21                                $24                       
Annual Fishing                          $42                               $49                       
Furbearer Hunting/Trapping      $130                              $192                     
Annual Small Game Hunting     $80                                $94                       
Daily Small Game (1 Day)         $11                                $14                       
Daily Small Game (3 Days)       $33                                $42                       
Conservation Order                   $40                                $47                       
Spring Turkey Hunting               $190                              $224                   
Fall Turkey Hunting                   $110                              $130                     
Firearm Deer Hunting               $225                              $265                     
Archery Hunting                        $225                              $265                     
Managed Deer Hunting             $225                              $265                       
Nonresidents account for nearly 100% of daily fishing permit purchases and daily small-game hunting permit purchases. As part of the changes, MDC will also limit daily fishing permits and daily hunting permits to 1 and 3 days and eliminate daily fishing permits and daily hunting permits for other numbers of days (2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days).
MDC permit sales account for about 17 percent of the agency’s annual revenue and help fund numerous conservation efforts around the state. Other significant revenue sources include the Conservation Sales Tax at about 61 percent and federal reimbursements at about 16 percent. Sales and rentals, interest, and other sources make up the remaining 6 percent of MDC revenue. According to MDC, the average Missourian pays about $19 annually for conservation efforts through the Department’s dedicated sales tax revenue. MDC receives no funding from property taxes, tickets or citations (which go to local school districts), or the state’s general revenue budget.

MDC offers free basic archery instructor training for teachers Sept. 7 at St. Gertrude School in Washington

8/9/2019

Participants will gain certification to teach the Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program in their schools.
WASHINGTON, Mo.--Teachers, if there was an activity that could help your students keep focus, improve their grades, and boost their self-esteem, would you say “bullseye?” Archery has been proven to do just that for students who participate in the Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program (MoNASP).
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will hold a MoNASP basic archery instructor training for teachers from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 at St. Gertrude School, 6520 State Highway YY in Washington. The session includes a 30-minute lunch break; however, lunch will not be included.
This is a free training class and is meant for teachers who are interested in incorporating MoNASP instruction into their school’s curriculum. Teachers must attend the entire training session to receive the Basic Archery Instructor (BAI) certification. Volunteers other than teachers may attend but will need to gain approval for their attendance from their prospective school before registration.
BAI training is required for schools to participate in MoNASP and to qualify for related grant money. MoNASP is taught as a two-week unit during the school day and makes the school eligible to compete in National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) tournaments on a local, state, national and international level. Schools must qualify for the NASP competitions.
MoNASP is part of NASP, which provides the BAI certification, and is the national program that teaches international style target archery to students in grades 4-12.
Statistics show school archery programs improve school attendance, increase participants self-esteem and physical activity, helps kids relate to learning subject matter, and gets them outdoors to discover nature. Participants also learn an activity they can enjoy for the rest of their lives in the form of recreational target shooting or bow hunting.
To register for the workshop, visit http://naspbai.org/. For more information, contact MDC Outdoor Skills Specialist Conrad Mallady at [email protected] or call 314-577-9555 ext. 76044. Reservations are required by Aug. 31.

East Central College Receives National Endowment for the Arts Grant

8/9/2019

 
​East Central College is proud to announce it has received an Arts Engagement in American Communities (AEAC) grant for second year in a row!
 
The $10,000 matching grant from the National Endowment for the Arts will help support the annual concert series for the 2019-2020 school year.
 
“We are proud to host world-renowned acts like the Arianna String Quartet and St. Louis Symphony every year,” said Dr. Jennifer Judd, Concert Series Coordinator and East Central College Professor of Music. “It couldn’t happen without the support of the community, the college and amazing organizations like the National Endowment for the Arts.”
 
The AEAC grant supports arts projects in all artistic disciplines, extending the National Endowment for the Arts’ reach to communities across the United States. These grants engage the public in diverse and excellent art in underrepresented geographic areas.
 
“All Americans should have access to the arts,” said Mary Anne Carter, acting chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. “Grants such as this one to East Central College are an important part of the National Endowment for the Arts’ work to ensure people in communities both large and small across the nation have the opportunity to experience the arts.”

Established by Congress in 1965, the National Endowment for the Arts is the independent federal agency whose funding and support gives Americans the opportunity to participate in the arts, exercise their imaginations, and develop their creative capacities.

High School Equivalency Test Now Free for Area Students

8/9/2019

 
​For years, the Adult Education and Literacy program at East Central College has provided free classes to improve a students’ skills in math, reading, writing, social studies and science. The goal of the program is to prepare students to pass the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET), formerly the GED.
 
For the first time, students in the program will no longer have to pay for the actual test. It’s all thanks to recent legislation passed in Missouri.
 
“The cost of the test is around 100 dollars,” said Alice Whalen, East Central College Adult Education and Literacy Director. “For some people, it is a real barrier. Now that the test is free, we hope more adults pursue their goals of finishing their high school education.”


The Adult Education and Literacy program hosts High School Equivalency classes in several locations – including Cuba, Hermann, Montgomery City, Owensville, Pacific, Rolla, St. Clair, Sullivan, Union and Washington. Day and evening classes are available.
 
Students interested in obtaining their HiSET must attend an orientation, which are held in Union, Rolla and Hermann. To see a list of orientation dates, please visit eastcentral.edu/ael or call 844-322-4235.
 
Students who have earned their HiSET through the AEL program at East Central College are eligible to receive a tuition waiver for a three hour college credit class at East Central College!

East Central College Receives Grant to Support Disabled Veterans

8/8/2019
