POPLAR BLUFF, MO (KFVS) - The federal and state Disaster Recovery Center at Three Rivers Community Center will be transitioning to a U.S. Small Business Administration Disaster Loan Outreach Center.

The DRC will make the transition on Monday, June 20 and the new DLOC will stay open through Wednesday, June 29. Hours for the center include: Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

SBA representatives at the DLOC will give homeowners, renters and business owners one-on-one help with completing their SBA disaster loan applications.

After months of storms and floods in southeast Missouri, there's a silver lining to report.  Hundreds of people can get back to work, helping with the cleanup.

"It's going to be a shot in the arm for the economy," said Workforce Investment Board President June O'Dell of the Missouri Disaster Recovery Jobs Program.

O'Dell's agency is responsible for hiring, training, and paying eligible workers.  She says first in line will be those employees flooded out of work by rising rivers.

"Then we will go to the dislocated workers. And then, we will also work with the long term unemployed," she added.

As O'Dell lines out the workers, Scott Sattler lines up the work.

"This grant is available to any public entity which would be a city, a county, a village, a municipality, and also non-profit organizations that do humanitarian-type aid," Sattler explained.

A jury recommends a man serve two five year prison terms for the shooting death of his sister-in-law's longtime boyfriend.

A Butler County jury convicted Randy Johnson of charges of manslaughter and armed criminal action after about five hours of deliberation last week.

Jurors believe Johnson killed Gary Williamson in March of 2010.

Johnson testified that he shot Williamson during a fight, believing Williamson had a weapon.

Johnson says a gun fired during a struggle.

Sentencing is set for July 19.
