46th Annual Liberty Invitational Tournament this week
Eagles have chance to take a step forward at tourney by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It’s tournament time! The Liberty Eagles managed to get one game in last week before the weather arrived, crushing Bakersfield 64-24 at Liberty High School, but the real story now is the start of the 46th Annual Liberty Invitational Tournament, which began on Monday and continues through Saturday. The Eagles have the second seed, and a possible match-up with the number-one seed Thayer Bobcats on Saturday if everything works out. Liberty isn’t taking anything for granted, however. “We’re still just trying to get better at using our strengths to help us win games,” said Liberty Eagles Head Coach Yancey Walker, “We’ve been able to get a lot out of our zone. We’re
working on our man defense to be able to use that we need it. Offensively, just got to keep finding ways to make plays and make shots. I’ve felt like that’s probably been the biggest hurdle to overcome -getting in the right spots and then knocking down the shots when we get the opportunity. We did that Doniphan. We hit big shots at Doniphan. We really didn’t shoot well against Thayer the second time.” In order to get a third chance at the Bobcats, the Eagles had an opening game against Koshkonong on Monday night, and a semifinal game coming this Thursday night that will likely be against the Winona Wildcats if they were able to defeat Houston as expected. On the other side of the bracket, the Thayer Bobcats played Summersville on Monday. Thursday the Bobcats will
play either Eminence or Alton. Consolation, Third-Place, and Championship games will be played on Saturday. In the final tune-up before the tournament began, Liberty had little trouble with Bakersfield. The Eagles jumped out to an early 18-5 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Josh Pruett had seven of those 18 first-quarter points with a basket, a three-pointer, and two foul shots. Pruett finished the game with 14 points. Brenton Bush added six points in the first eight minutes with three baskets, on his way to a 12-point night. Andrew Holden also scored with two baskets in the first. For the night, Liberty’s leading scorer was Shalin Stout who finished with 18 points. He had a quiet first-half, however, as the Eagles took at 29-9 advantage. All of that changed
had to resort to clawing for offensive rebounds and flailing their arms and hoping the officials put them at the free throw line. It’s not aesthetically pleasing basketball. But after all the whistles ended, Missouri had lost again, 7772. The home games against LSU and Auburn were two of Missouri’s best chances to avoid an 0-18 SEC season, but those chances have came and went. Saturday’s 92-73 loss at Arkansas was dispiriting for other reasons. Missouri didn’t have much chance to win at Bud Walton Arena, a rather large arena nestled in scenic Fayetteville, but perhaps the Tigers could be competitive. Instead, Arkansas raced out to a big firsthalf lead. Any time Missouri scrambled to get within 11 or 12, the Razorbacks seemed to up their effort level a little for a few minutes and quickly bury Missouri again. Arkansas is no juggernaut this year, but the gap between the two teams was still striking. I’d hoped for competitive; I saw just about the opposite. And now, as the season
churns along, here’s my reminder that it certainly gives me no joy to write about the Tigers’ mounting failures. Coach Kim Anderson is a good man who desperately wants to win here. And yet, he’ll probably be fired soon. Will Missouri find a way to win at least one conference game before that happens? I’ll wait until after this week to start the 0-18 watch, but it’s definitely in play. Next up Missouri travels to Alabama on Wednesday (6 p.m. on ESPNU), and then the Tigers host Ole Miss on Saturday (2:30 on SEC Network). The Rebels (10-7, 1-4 in SEC) are another bottom-tier SEC team. In theory, it’s another winnable game. In theory. If you’re the 14th-best team in the conference, but you get to pay the 11th-best team in your building, you might win, right? Ole Miss forward Sebastian Saiz is a good allaround player. The Tigers have gotten some good play out of Jordan Barnett lately, so maybe Saturday’s the day for an SEC win.
Missouri’s season rolls on with two more losses by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist
Last week brought more of the same for Missouri basketball. There was a home loss to a pretty bad Auburn team, maybe Missouri’s last best chance to win an SEC game this season, and then a road loss to Arkansas, where the Razorbacks toyed with the Tigers. The home loss to Auburn was particularly atrocious, even in a season that has lost its ability to shock. Missouri (5-11, 0-4 in SEC play through Sunday) doesn’t get many chances to win conference games these days, and Auburn (11-6, 1-4 in SEC) is a very beatable team, especially at home. Generally, if a game is simply close I can appreciate it, but this all-Tigers clash an unredeemable torrent of missed shots, turnovers and way too many fouls. Missouri can’t really shoot. If you’re familiar with the rules of basketball, you might be thinking that’s quite a problem, and you’d be correct. So the Tigers
in the third quarter as Stout reeled off six baskets and two free-throws. Pruett added a three-point shot as well, allowing Liberty to increase their lead to a 29-point advantage. It took three, three-point shots by the Wildcats to keep the game even that close. They still couldn’t stop the Eagles from turning on the turbo-clock in the fourth quarter. Stout added four more points to his total, and baskets by Tyler Dewick, Holden, and a three-pointer by Bush put the game well out of the reach of Bakersfield. After their opening game on Monday, the competition is much tougher for the Eagles at the Liberty Invitational Tournament this week. The Eagles may have already defeated Winona once this season, a 6257 win in the Cabool Holiday Tournament, but it was close enough that Liberty can take nothing for granted. “That was a 15-point game at halftime and ended up eight or five,” said Coach Walker, “We really have to be on-point defensively because they really look to split traps, and it’s hard to cut them off when they’re dribbling and attacking the basket. We’ve got to assume that they’ve gotten better, so it’s going to take a better effort and better focus to get them beat this time around than it did the first time around.” A win against Winona will likely mean another rematch against the Bobcats, a team that the Eagles have struggled to find an answer for this season. The Eagles lost to Thayer at Cabool by nine points, and lost to the Bobcats in the championship of the Thayer Tournament by seven. To be fair, a lot of teams have lost to Thayer this season. “They’ve got two losses,” explained Walker, “They lost to Jackson the first game of the year and they lost to Licking at Cabool in the finals. When you play those guys, you have to put yourself in position to get easy baskets. You have to put yourself in position to make open shots. And if you do that then you can beat them.” Nevertheless, Walker admits that’s easier said than done. “They’re going to do what they do. They’re not easy to beat. It’s
Defense! Koel Orchard (22) grabbed 2 steals defensively against Bakersfield as Liberty held the Lions to just 9 points total in the first half and 24 for the game.

hard to get them out of rhythm. It’s hard to get them out of what they’re trying to do. When you can do that, you really do have a chance to beat them.” The rhythm of the Bobcats has often been to slow down the game. Thayer scored just 40 points against Licking in a game that went into overtime, and scored just 45 points against Liberty in the Cabool tournament. Their stall-ball tactics, and tough defense, have previously made it difficult for the Eagles to make up any ground against them. “It certainly cuts down the number of possessions,” said Walker about Thayer’s style of offense, but he noted there is more to the Bobcats than just what style they play. “They thing that they’ve done more than anything is that they’ve taken care of the basketball. We force 20 turnovers a game in a lot of games. We just haven’t been able to get those guys up (to) 15-20 turnovers, and I think if we do that, then that will certainly help our chances as well. By the same token, even though they’re just playing in that half-court zone, they do a pretty good job of attacking the passing lanes so we have to keep them from getting easy baskets. I think I put on the scouting report the first time, the team with the most easy baskets wins. And they’ve gotten a couple more easy bas-
kets than us so far.” Perhaps playing at home, assuming the Eagles can get another victory over Winona, will give Liberty a little push as they try to reach that next level with a victory over Thayer. It’s been a year of high expectations for the Eagles, tempered by the reality of a season of change. Walker remains hopeful, however, that Liberty can continue to make progress this year. “I feel like we’re coming along nicely,” Walker explained last Monday, “I feel like our guys are doing the things they need to do to get us better and be successful. We just got to continue on cinching in everything to make sure we can finish out in a good way. Whenever there’s change there’s always going to be a little bit of lag time so to speak. You can run patterns and learn patterns, but you got to learn where those seams are going to be and where the holes are going to be so you can finish up and have an opportunity to score and have an opportunity to set someone else up to score. We’ve just got to continue to get better.” Thursday and Saturday should give the Liberty Eagles a chance to do just that.

Wages Brewery & Taproom in West Plains
But there’s nothing neutral about Wages’ beers. In the four months they’ve been open, they’ve released beers that range from the smooth and easy drinking Whatknot Ale to more adventurous beers made with ingredients like blood orange, dandelions, local blackberries, seeds of paradise, and even chipotle peppers! “Our goal has always been to have fun and be creative. Craft beer is all about experimentation, and we’re fortunate to have our crazy ideas received so well by so many in such a short period of time,” said Mr. Wages. “We look forward to sharing extra special releases at our grand opening, some of which will be in extremely short supply. And hint, yes, we will be bringing back the Blood Orange Whatknot!” Also at their grand opening event will be Bootleggers BBQ food truck which previously served at Wages Brewing on New Year’s Eve. Their chef made a beer cheese dip with Wages’ top selling Landlocked IPA and paired it with freshly made warm pretzels. Mr. Wages says, “As of right now, we don’t know what special food
‘Tea for Two’ February 4 to benefit Diaper Resource Center A Tea for Two will be held February 4, 2017, 2-4 p.m. at Ozark Action’s Building 2, 720 East Main in West Plains. Young people are invited to attend with their favorite adult(s) and all “dressed up” for tea and finger foods, music, crafts, photo booth, and a pie auction. All proceeds will
benefit the efforts of the Focus on Babies Diaper Resource Center (DRC) in West Plains. Tickets for the Tea are $15 each/two for $25, and are available online through the DRC Facebook link https:// www.facebook.com/Diaper-Resource-Center-West-P lains-1621006524811350/ or in person from the offices of Ozark Action, Inc., 710 East Main St. or from the Howell County Health Department, 180 S. Kentucky Ave. Live music will be provided by members of the Southern Ozarks Youth Orchestra, several craft tables will be set up, as well as a photo booth (staffed by Ruthie Lee) to capture the look on this special day. Delicious finger foods and teas will be served. A pie auction to raise additional funds will be held, with Billy Sexton, Auctioneer. The Diaper Resource Center was organized last year
with the mission: To furnish local distributing agencies with diapers for at-risk, early childhood youth to enhance the families’ resources and improve their well-being. Since September, 2015, over 36,000 disposable diapers have been donated by DRC to these agencies for distribution to area families. In addition, several area families have joined the cloth diaper loan program sponsored by DRC. Current distributing agencies include First Christian Church’s Tender Mercies Diaper Ministry, Martha Vance Samaritan Outreach Center, and Christos House. Individuals with needs should contact those agencies directly with inquiries. Any group interested in becoming a distributing agency should contact DRC for an application. Donations of disposable diapers can be dropped off at Ozark Action Inc. (OAI), 710
E. Main St., West Plains, MO 65775, who are providing the Diaper Resource Center with warehouse space for diapers. Diapers can be left at OAI, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, all year long. Fiscal management, allowing for financial contributions to be tax-deductible, is provided by Community Foundation of the Ozarks. Online contributions are accepted at https://secure3.4agoodcause.com/cf-ozarks/gift.aspx?id=44&fundid=1109 Area churches, businesses, organizations, or individuals who wish to contribute toward addressing diaper need in our area may inquire at diaperresourcecenter@gmail.com, by phone to 417-257-7184, or by mail at P O Box 1773, West Plains, MO 65775. Presentations are available for groups on request. Check our Facebook page under Diaper-Resource-Center-West-Plains for updates.
they will be making, but you can be sure of at least one extra special dish that mingles our beer with Bootleggers’ menu.” “Please be sure to drink responsibly,” encouraged Mr. Wages. “We also make our own handcrafted sodas from scratch, and we’ll be sure to have plenty on hand so that designated drivers can enjoy a beverage too.” In the past, WBCo has made Cream Soda, Cherry Soda, and Elderberry Cream Soda, and they’ve hinted that Ginger Ale may be available for the grand opening.
Wages Brewing has quickly become known for working locally, buying ingredients at the West Plains’ Farmer’s Market and D&D Produce as well as only carrying local wines (currently from McCullough House Winery from Thayer, MO), so it seems only fitting they have all local musicians and local food as the centerpiece of their January 28th grand opening. Mr. Wages’ work shirt has embroidered on it, “Purveyor of Puns”, so it comes as no surprise that he closed with, “It’s going to a lot of pun!”
More Than a Speech
The most important speech for the future of this country wasn’t the one President Obama gave this past week, a speech which looked back at eight years of failures, but instead will be the speech about our future Donald J Trump will deliver from the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Friday. He will speak about this country in a way which promotes individual liberties, accountability, freedoms and personal choice. It will be a speech not about ‘hope’ and ‘change’, but instead about the concrete actions he will immediately begin taking to help put American’s back to work, bring down the soaring costs of healthcare, reduce the tax burden and get government off the back of farmers, families, and small businesses. Our country has seen some profound inaugural speeches throughout our history that have defined generations. The greatest inaugural addresses in American history all have one thing in common - they were delivered at critical moments in our nation’s history. Whether impending war, secession, economic calamity or world crisis, these speeches all managed to balance that moment of peril and fright with one of prosperity and the American will to overcome. Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address was delivered at a time when the country was deeply divided between the north and the south during the Civil War. In only 701 words, Lincoln sought to unify using divine intervention stating that both sides: “read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes his aid against the other.” His words spoken that day in 1865 are some of the most powerful spoken in American history. Lincoln closed wishing no ill will towards those which looked to divide the Union, but instead with words of compassion, charity and optimism towards a mended State: “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. “ Faced with a nation engulfed in depression and panicked by a banking crisis, Franklin Delano Roosevelt opened his inaugural speech in 1933 with the assertion that everyone knows today: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” John F. Kennedy’s phrase he delivered during his inaugural speech in 1961: “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” still inspires generations of Americans over 50 years later. The fact that Americans still reference these memorable inaugural speeches of the past is a testament to how impactful they actually are. We are at a pivotal moment in our nation’s history; we have the opportunity to get off our current path of big government control and a ‘Washington knows best’ way of thinking. Just as some of the greatest inauguration speeches were given during critical times in American history, so will the inaugural address of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States on Friday. After placing his right hand on the bible and swearing before God and the American people to serve this great country as President, Donald J. Trump will deliver his inaugural address with a message to get to work for the American people. So listen to what he says, pay attention for those few words or phrases which will come to define the first 100 days of this presidency and the new direction of our country – you never know what lines will live on forever in history.

INCIDENTS Monday, January 2, 2017 Deputy Matthew Roberts was advised by Howell County Dispatch of an on-going custody dispute involving a father and the Mtn. View Police Department. Upon arrival deputies spoke with the father who advised deputies that custody of his child had been given to a third party and that he was advised that he had no legal rights to the child. After conferring with Howell County Prosecuting Attorney it was decided that the father did have legal rights to the child. Thursday, January 5, 2017 Children’s Division asked for assistance in investigating a child abuse case. It was learned later that it occurred in another jurisdiction and the person involved did not live in Howell County. The case was referred to the appropriate agency. Sunday, January 8, 2017 Deputy Bruce Sortman was dispatched to a residence on Private Road 1612 for a report of a fight in progress. Upon his arrival, he found two male subjects had been fighting but had stopped. Neither individual wished to pursue charges and told deputies there would be no more trouble. Monday, January 9, 2017 Deputy Matthew Kassing attempted to conduct a traffic stop on CR 7710 with a white Hyundai Sonata driven by Adam Bartlett, 25 of Moody. Bartlett is wanted on a felony no bond parole warrant. Bartlett led deputies on a high speed pursuit. He was taken into custody after he wrecked his vehicle on CR 7130 near the Arkansas line. Tuesday, January 10, 2017 Deputy Matthew Kassing stopped Kelley Sean, 16 of Dora for exceeding the posted speed limit. Kelley was issued a citation. Deputy Matthew Kassing was dispatched to Private Road 1200 in West Plains for a report of theft. The reporting party advised he had two, five-gallon jugs stolen off his property. A female subject came into the sheriff’s office and re-
Shannon Co. First Responders had a busy year Your Shannon County First Responders had a busy year helping residents and visitors to our area when they got sick or found themselves in accidents. Due to patient confidentiality, which they take seriously, they don’t report on each incident as they happen, or identify people by name, either in the paper or online. However, here is the yearly rundown on their activities. In 2016 your Shannon County First Responders provided care to 180 people having medical issues ranging from strokes and heart attacks to relatively minor issues. Often the Responders were dispatched to private homes, but in a few cases the incident happened in a public place and you may have seen them at work. There were 20 automobile wrecks, with situations from people entrapped who had to be cut out by the Fire Department, to cases where there were only minor injuries to major wrecks with multiple serious injuries and fatalities. Many wrecks occur on US Route 60 and on State Route 19. Please be careful on these dangerous roads. Some of the First Responders are affiliated with local fire and law enforcement departments and several are not. They may show up in bright yellow “crash coats,” especially if it’s cold, but more likely will be dressed just like anyone else. They all carry identification from the County if you need to verify anyone before letting them into your home. First Responder care is always free and voluntary. If you make a call to 911 or the Sheriff’s Office for a medical issue they will ask if you want First Responders as well. Generally they can arrive up to 20 minutes before an ambulance and begin emergency care. When there is a car wreck they respond automatically if there is a report of injuries. If you see an ordinary looking vehicle with flashing blue lights and a siren, please yield. It is either a First Responder or a Volunteer Fire Fighter heading to help someone. The next time it might be someone you love who is in need. All First Responders are unpaid volunteers and have to provide their own radios and medical equipment, so donations to the group are always welcome and can be sent to Shannon County First Responders, P.O. Box 140, Winona, MO 65588 Please check out their Facebook page at “Shannon County First Responders.”

Learn the basics of gaming design with computer graphics Want to help shape the future of gaming? A great way to learn the basics is through the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Computer Graphics and Programming (CGP) degree offered at Missouri State University-West Plains. “We provide students the opportunity to get in and learn about game art, programming and design so they can find their passion before they go on to more specialized studies,” said Jacob Poulette, assistant professor of computer graphics and programming. “It’s a stepping stone to expose them to all major areas of game design, where they can start building their portfolios and move on to a four-year degree program.” He said the program introduces students to programming, 3-D modeling, texture creation, level design, motion-capture, virtual reality and mobile development, and the program now delves into console development as well. Poulette, too, studied CGP at Missouri State-West Plains. Even though his career path has enabled him
to stay close to home, many who seek a career in game design will need to relocate. “When I studied here, my goal was to get this degree and go design games,” Poulette said. “This is easier now, but the Midwest doesn’t have as many job opportunities. The east coast, west coast and Texas are the main hubs of gaming.” The degree program, however, offers many useful skills and exposure to technology that are beneficial for many career paths beyond the gaming field. “A lot of our graduates end up working in enterprise development and in website development,” Poulette said. One such graduate is Will Mahan, a Gainesville resident who completed his AAS in CGP in 2013. Mahan also works at Missouri State-West Plains as Campus Media Services Coordinator. He manages the campus’ digital signage system, produces promotional videos and assists faculty with various media projects. He also does part-time web content management for the Ozark Radio Network (ORN) and freelance work that includes
graphic and logo design, branding and designing posters for the CGP department’s annual Oz-Con event in West Plains. “Pretty much anything that has to do with pushing pixels,” Mahan said. APPLYING SKILLS Mahan said his work at ORN is a “straight-up transfer” of skills learned during his time at Missouri StateWest Plains. Although his job at Missouri State-West Plains doesn’t directly utilize skills learned as a student, Mahan said habits he picked up from the program, such as working with a team and being design-minded, come into play every day. And, in his freelance work, the 3-D modeling and project-management skills he learned at Missouri State-West Plains are always of use. “Every CGP class, I felt, was beneficial,” Mahan said. “Every class had value. I’m a big believer in CGP, and I’ll plug the program any chance I get. I think that’s a big part of why I chose to work here, too.” Mahan started college as a non-traditional student. He was 37 when he enrolled
in 2011 and knew he didn’t want to go for the campus’ traditional transfer degree, the Associate of Arts in General Studies degree. “I went into CGP for the same reasons a lot of people do,” Mahan said. “I liked games. I liked stories. I liked living outside of reality and creating my own reality for entertainment purposes. I’m also a huge nerd. When I enrolled, I wasn’t sure what I was getting into, but it didn’t take long to realize I was home. “I came here wanting to learn about programming, but I found out I wasn’t that great at it,” he added. “Before I enrolled here, though, I had been an amateur Photoshop user for about a decade. I began to take it a lot more seriously when I came here and realized I had a knack for it. I refined my skills with the formal training I received here and embraced the design side of CGP.” After earning his degree, Mahan spent a lot of time studying on his own to further hone his craft because his experience taught him the value of self-study and staying caught up on technology,

which is an ever-growing part of today’s world. “The best piece of advice I can give students is come here prepared to work,” Mahan said. “As important as my training was, the most valuable thing I walked away with was networking. I met a lot of great and really smart people along the way who encouraged me, and now I have a job here because of that. Get to know your faculty, staff and fellow students, and when you have opportunities to volunteer and get involved, take advantage, because that’s how you stand out. And don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it.” STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES Weston Mitchell, a sophomore from Cabool, wanted to be a game designer since he was in fifth grade. He initially wanted to attend the DigiPen Institute of Technology, but couldn’t use his A+ scholarship there. Instead, he chose to come to Missouri State-West Plains to learn the basics of CGP and find out if making games was what he truly wanted to do. Mitchell said he feels his experience has helped him focus his interest. “When I started, I wanted to learn more about the programming side of game design, but because this
program is set up to allow students to experience all aspects of game creation, I have realized that I prefer the animation and design aspects more, so that is what I will be focusing on in the future,” Mitchell said. He he plans to transfer to DigiPen after obtaining his AAS in CGP to his Bachelor of Arts in Game Design there. Jim Listopad, also a sophomore from Cabool, chose the AAS in CGP because he wanted to become a software developer. “While most with such intentions would have picked something along the lines of a computer science degree, I felt a keen interest in the subfield of game development. I plan to use this degree to either find work in the area of software development or to continue my education in computer science. I feel that the CGP program offers me and other students a path to learn the ideas of computer science in a more top-down style, allowing people to see what the end results can be while still learning necessary job skills as a software developer.” For information on the required courses for the AAS in CGP program, visit http:// wp.missouristate.edu/ctp/ computer-graphics-and-programming.htm.

MDC, MoDOT invite schools to fight litter through ‘No MOre Trash!’ annual can contest
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) invite Missouri public, private, and home-school students in grades K-8 to help fight litter in the Show-Me State -- and to have creative and educational fun -- by participating in the 2017 “Yes You CAN Make Missouri Litter-Free” trash-can-decorating contest. The annual contest is sponsored by MDC and MoDOT as part of the state’s “No MOre Trash!” statewide litter campaign. The contest encourages school classes and groups to join in the fight against litter by decorating and displaying a large trash can with the “No MOre Trash!” logo and Principal’s Award - Students who were awarded the Principal’s Award during last week’s awards assembly are James Logs- a litter-prevention message don, Blayne Altermatt, Morgan Smith, Korie Lind, Seth Holloway and Haeleigh Miller. They are pictured with MVE Principal using a variety of creative Loren Smith. Not pictured is Terrell Gaines. (Photo provided to the Standard) media. Schools may submit one entry in each competition category: K-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Entries are judged based on creativity, adherence to contest rules, and effective use of theme and logo. First-place winners from each competition category receive $200 awarded to the sponsoring schools. All first-place winners are then eligible for a grand prize of a
trophy and $600 awarded to the sponsoring school. There is no entry fee for the contest. Participating school groups must submit a completed entry form online with up to three photos to nomoretrash.org by Friday, March 17. Contest rules, entry forms, logo, past contest entries and winners, and educational information can also be found at nomoretrash.org. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American generates about four pounds of trash each day. “Missouri’s six million residents produce nearly 26 million pounds of garbage in one day. That’s more than nine BILLION pounds of trash per year!” said MDC NMT Coordinator Joe Jerek. “Much of that trash shows up on our streets and roadsides, natural areas, and waterways. Litter harms our fish and water quality, plants, and hurts wildlife. Litter also hurts property values, landscape appearance, and our overall quality of life.” Jerek added that littering is illegal in Missouri and can result in a fine of up to $1,000 and one year in jail.

Tax Help for Caregiver of Elderly Parents Dear Savvy Senior, Are caregiving expenses tax deductible? I provide a lot of financial support to my elderly mother and would like to find out if I can write any of it off on my taxes. Supporting Son Dear Supporting, There are actually several tax deductions and credits available to adult children who help look after their aging parents or other relatives. Here are your options along with the IRS requirements to help you determine if you’re eligible to receive them. Dependency Deduction If you’re paying for more than 50 percent of your mom’s living costs (housing, food, utilities, medical and dental care, transportation and other necessities), and her 2016 gross income (not counting her Social Security benefits) was under $4,050, you can claim your mom as a dependent on your tax return, and reduce your taxable income by $4,050. Also note that your mom doesn’t have to live with you to qualify as a dependent, as long as her income was under $4,050 and you provided more than half her financial support. If your mother does live with you, you can include a percentage of your mortgage, utilities and other expenses in calculating how much you contribute to her support. IRS Publication 501 (see irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf) has a worksheet that can help you with this. To receive this, or other IRS publications or forms via mail, call 800-829-3676. Shared Support If you share the financial responsibility for your mom with other siblings, you may be eligible for the IRS multiple-support declaration. Here’s how this works. If one sibling is providing more than half the parent’s financial support, only that sibling can claim the parent. But if each sibling provides less than 50 percent support, but their combined assistance exceeds half the parent’s support. In that case, any sibling who provides more than 10 percent can claim the parent as a dependent. But only one sibling can claim the tax break in any given year. Siblings can rotate the tax break, with one claiming the parent one year, and another the next. The sibling who claims the parent as a dependent will need to fill out IRS Form 2120 (irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2120.pdf) and file it with his or her tax return. Medical Deductions If you can’t claim your mom as a dependent, you may still get a tax break for helping pay her medical costs. The IRS lets taxpayers deduct money spent on a parent’s health care and qualified long-term care services, even if the parent doesn’t qualify as a dependent. To claim this deduction, you still must provide more than half your mom’s support, but your mom doesn’t have to be under the $4,050 income test. And the deduction is limited to medical, dental and long-term care expenses that exceed 10 percent (or 7.5 percent if you’re 65 by Dec. 31, 2016) of your adjusted gross income. You can include your own medical expenses in calculating the total. See the IRS publication 502 (irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf) for details. Dependent Care Credit If you’re paying for in-home care or adult day care for your mom so you are free to work, you may also be able to claim the Dependent Care Tax Credit, regardless of whether or not your mom qualifies as a dependent on your tax return. This credit can cut up to $1,050 off your tax bill for the year. In order to claim it, you must fill out IRS Form 2441 (irs.gov/ pub/irs-pdf/f2441.pdf) when you file your federal return. Check Your State In addition to the federal tax breaks, more than 20 states offer tax credits and deductions for caregivers on state income taxes too. Check with your state tax agency to see what’s available. For links to state tax agencies see taxadmin.org/state-tax-agencies. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

MDC reports three new cases of CWD from mandatory sampling Final results from 19,200+ deer tested show total of five cases of chronic wasting disease The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports it has received final results from the more than 19,200 tissue samples tested for chronic wasting disease (CWD) following the Department’s mandatory sampling of deer harvested on Nov. 12 and 13 in 29 counties in northeast, central, and east-central Missouri in and around where the disease has been found. From those final results, MDC has confirmed that five deer have tested positive for the deadly deer disease, including an adult buck harvested in southeast Adair County, an adult buck harvested in northwest Macon County, and an adult buck harvested southwest Franklin County. The five total cases also include a yearling male harvested in southeast Jefferson County and a mature buck harvested in northern Franklin County, as previously reported by MDC in December 2016. The department has also received test results for approximately 650 tissue samples collected for CWD testing in seven counties
in southwest Missouri. No deer from southern Missouri have tested positive for the disease. The target counties are close to where more than 100 cases of CWD have been found in Northwest Arkansas. “This has been a huge undertaking and we greatly appreciate the help from participating hunters and businesses during our sampling efforts,” said MDC Wildlife Disease Coordinator Jasmine Batten. “While it is disappointing to detect any CWD cases, overall the results to date are encouraging. Given the large number of deer tested and the small number of cases detected, CWD appears to remain relatively rare in the state.” The five new positive cases bring the total number of CWD cases detected in free ranging deer in Missouri to 38 with 10 found in Adair, 1 in Cole, 3 in Franklin, 1 in Jefferson, 1 in Linn, and 22 in Macon counties. Batten added the Department’s next steps include working with landowners in the immediate areas around where cases of CWD have
been found to harvest and test additional deer this winter. Affected counties are: Adair, Cole, Crawford, Franklin, Jefferson, Linn, Macon, Moniteau, Ste. Genevieve, and St. Francis. “This additional sampling will help MDC staff better determine the extent of the disease and help limit its spread,” she explained. “Research shows that CWD tends to be clumped in local areas. When we find a deer with CWD, removing other deer in the immediate area can remove other deer that may be infected. This can help slow the spread of the disease.” She noted MDC continues to collect tissue samples from deer harvested in northeast, central, east-central, and southwest Missouri throughout the remaining deer-hunting season, which ends Jan. 15. Tissue samples are being taken by participating taxidermists and at MDC offices and other sampling locations in the affected regions. MDC encourages hunters who harvest deer in these areas to have them tested for the disease. Find sam-
