Arson suspected in recent fires In the early morning hours of Sunday, January 17, 2016, a house fully engulfed in flames on County Road 307 in the Squires area of Douglas County was reported. The Squires Fire Department was dispatched. It was determined that the house was not occupied. The State Fire Marshal was called to investigate. In the early evening hours of Monday, January 18, 2016, this office received another call regarding a house on fire just past the Spurlock’s Store, once again in the Squires area. Squires Fire Department was once again dispatched. The house was a total loss, and once again the State Fire Marshall was notified. A family of six, including four children, lost everything; however, they have been put in contact with Red Cross, the Ministerial Alliance, and are receiving coats from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office via the Coats for Kids Program. Both fires are considered suspicious and possibly arson. Residents of the Squires area are asked to be vigilant and observant. If you notice any suspicious activity, or anything out of the ordinary, please contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department at 417-683-1020.

Bomb threat at Walmart, arrest made A West Plains man has been arrested and charged after a bomb threat was made at the West Plains Police Department. From there, investigators and police officers tracked the bizarre chain of events leading up to the
threat. It all began on Tuesday, January 19 at 8:34 a.m. when Nathan J. Eades, 29 of West Plains drove into the parking lot of the West Plains Police Department in an “erratic” manner. He then ran into

How’s that for a rebound? After four straight losses, the Liberty Eagles bounced back by winning a tournament championship at home, and not even ice and snow could stop them. Taking the court on Wednesday after weather forced a cancellation of Tuesday games, the Eagles had no problem crushing Koshkonong 96-42, and took care of a scrappy Alton team 64-51 on Thursday. They saved the best for last, however. Saturday in the championship, Liberty faced off against the 17-1 Thayer Bobcats for the third time this season. The Bobcats only
loss of the year came against the Eagles in the Cabool Holiday Tournament, which was ironically the last time Liberty had won a game before this tournament, but Eagles did it again, exploding in the first quarter, rallying in the second quarter, and out-playing the Bobcats to the finish. When it was over the Liberty Eagles were officially out of their slump, and holding a first-place trophy for the first time this season with a 65-62 win. “I told them in the locker room I was just proud of all of them,” explained Liberty Head Coach Rob Brown, “You know, we took second at the Thayer Tournament. We took second at the Cabool Holiday Tournament. It was nice to springboard

The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control announces the arrest of Casey L. Bailey, 49, of Canalou, Missouri, for promoting child pornography and possession of child pornography. The arrest was the result of a lengthy investigation conducted by members of the Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Investigative Unit. Bailey is being held in the New Madrid County Jail. Investigators seized evidence of the crimes during a search warrant executed at Bailey’s residence, on Friday. Later the same morning Bailey was located by officers in Moreland, Missouri, and taken into custody without incident. The Patrol was assisted by the New Madrid County Sheriff’s Office. The New Madrid County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office formally charged Bailey with promoting child pornography by distribution and possession of child pornography, and bond was set at $50,000. The above charge is mere accusation and is not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of this charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

into our own tournament and get a championship. Hopefully they’ll use it for some momentum going down the stretch, going into conference play and District play. And over the past five years, we’ve kind of gone from this point. We’ve used this tournament as a good spark-plug for us and we’ve been fortunate enough to win it. It’s been good to us so we hope to carry that forward.” It wasn’t as easy of a week for the Liberty JV as several key players spent their time playing for the varsity instead. The JV took care of Koshkonong on Wednesday, but fell just short in games against Thayer and Eminence. Meanwhile, two of the Eagles’ sophomores and one freshman were making their mark on varsity. All three came up big in Saturday’s championship game, none better than Shalin Stout who finished the night with 13-points, including eight in the first quarter. “I told him just after the game… that was the best game I’d seen him play,” said Brown, “(He) played like a grown man. He was in foul trouble there in the third quarter and that was my fault. I took a gamble there in the second quarter… but I thought down the stretch
he was huge, rebounds, played very strong down the stretch.” Liberty needed a strong finish against the Bobcats who fought their way back after the Eagles jumped out to a 25-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Eagles went cold and the Bobcats went on a run, scoring 17 unanswered points to take a onepoint lead. The wild swing of momentum could cause many teams to collapse, but not the Eagles. Not this time. Just before the half, Liberty found a way to score, put together a run, and once again created some distance between themselves and Thayer. “You know Thayer’s a great team,” said Brown, “At 17-1, they’re not going to go away. So they chipped away, but I was really proud of the way we went down 26-25 and we ran off nine straight, answered their run and went into the half with an eight point lead. So that was huge. We could have wilted. Could have went the other way, but we answered and that was a very monumental moment going into the third quarter.” Liberty would never trail again, and made enough free See Eagles on Page 7

Standard News Archives - December 3, 2014 - Family and friends met on Friday, Nov. 28 to honor the memory of Mtn. View City Forester Jim Roles. Roles passed away this past Spring and was known by many for his countless hours of dedication to the beautification of Mtn. View through the planting of trees. Roles loved trees and showed it by planting over a thousand in the City of Mtn. View with 700 of those being planted at the golf course. He spent his entire career as a Forester. Roles was President of the Mtn. View Park, Recreation and Tree Board for many years. He was an avid friend of the Mtn. View Garden Club helping out whenever needed. He worked countless hours at the Rotary Club Nature Park taking care of the trees planted there. Roles was also a driving force behind Mtn. View being named a "Tree City USA". He was a dear friend and his legacy remains all around us. Roles' two daughters, his son, their children, one great-grandchild along with his wife Jeanne are pictured above on the bench that has been dedicated in his name. Alongside the bench, the garden club planted an Applachian Red Redbud in memory of their dear friend.

Ozark Riverways provides update on flood recovery Following the heavy rains that fell across the region in late December, many facilities, roads, trails, and river accesses at Ozark National Scenic Riverways were impacted by severe flooding. Since that time the park staff has been working tirelessly to assess damage and clean or repair facilities, structures, and roadways throughout the park. Continuing recovery efforts are ongoing, with high priority visitor use areas and facilities receiving immediate attention. Over 33 restrooms were filled with water and mud. Many of those have been cleaned and opened, or re-winterized.
Several river access areas lost portions of riverbank, and many roads and trails still need repairs and grading. Large deposits of gravel and debris remain throughout the park. While many camping areas and access points have been re-opened, amenities in several areas remain limited because of damage or displacement caused by flood water. Work has been impeded slightly by the recent winter weather. There are several sites within the park that sustained moderate damage. The restroom facility at the Two Rivers boat landing lost the roof and a portion of the walls. The road surface into
Panther Springs was severely damaged, making the area inaccessible. Approximately 200 yards of the trail from Powder Mill to Blue Spring on the Current River is covered with river debris. The Burr Oak picnic area near Alley Spring was heavily impacted by gravel and sand deposited across the landscape. Recovery at these sites is expected to take additional time. The Big Spring Bridge was inspected by Federal Highway Administration (FHA) engineers on January 11 and was re-opened following their determination that it is safe for vehicle travel. The bridge had been temporarily
closed after sustaining damage to the pedestrian walkway and guard rail during the flood. The FHA engineers determined the damage would not have an impact on vehicle safety. A team of National Park Service facility management specialists recently spent several days conducting condition assessments of park roads, trails, facilities, utility systems, and landscapes in order to survey the damage and assist park staff with preparing cost estimates for repairs. Current estimates of damage parkwide total nearly $1 million, but additional assessment is ongoing. The team was unable to thoroughly assess the park’s hiking and horse trails, so damage estimates will be conducted when those areas are accessible. Estimates may also fluctuate depending Civic Center and West Plains on final decisions for repair Council on the Arts, with or replacement of damaged partial funding provided by facilities and equipment. Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
Mathematical sculptures to be featured in gallery at the center exhibit West Plains Council on the Arts invites everyone to view a distinctive collection of mathematical sculptures by artist Albert Carpenter. The exhibit will be featured in the Gallery at the Center, West Plains Civic Center from February 23-March 15, 2016. The Gallery, on the mezzanine, is open to the public during regular Civic Center hours. Carpenter, a resident of Tecumseh, Missouri for over 20 years, initially developed an interest in art and geometry as an undergraduate at the College of William and Mary. It was during this time, while studying under the direction of artist Lewis Cohen, that he combined his burgeoning passions and started making geometric sculptures. However, it was not until eight years ago that he began constructing novel polyhedra, three dimensional structures, based on the Platonic and Archimedean solids. Since then, Mr. Carpenter has invented seven classes of polyhedra, and contributed over 200 new shapes to geometry. From these, one class has been selected for its intrinsic beauty for display here - the crown polyhedral. These objects are of particular interest, not just for aesthetic reasons, as it is speculated that they could also be synthesized as molecules. Thus conceived, they would open up new avenues of research for chemists. Two pieces of Carpenter’s art were shown last May at the 2015 Bridges Conference in Baltimore, Md. Mr. Carpenter says, “It is through art that I hope to not only share the joys of geometry, but also to inspire present and future mathematicians and scientists to study these forms, so that one day they may be created in the laboratory.” The remainder of his polyhedral models and sculptures may be seen at http://polyhedron100wordpress.com WPCA will host a Meetthe-Artists Reception on Saturday, March 5, 2016, from 12-2 p.m., in the Gallery at
the Center. All are invited to attend, view and discuss these wonderful pieces The exhibit is co-sponsored by the West Plains

Standing with Those who March for Life This week marked the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion in our country. Since the court’s ruling, nearly 58 million innocent lives have tragically been taken. To put that into perspective, there are roughly 58 million people living in the states of New York and California—combined. To share these startling numbers and advance pro-life policies, thousands of grassroots advocates from across the country, including Missouri’s 8thDistrict, are in Washington, D.C. this week for the Annual March for Life. For the last 43 years, the March for Life has been a rallying cry for all those who believe, as I do, that life begins at conception and that all life is valued. I admire the courage of their conviction to march for life despite long journeys and a blizzard warning here in our Nation’s Capital. For this march, I am reminded of 1987, when Nellie Gray, the late President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, joined with others to battle a fierce storm but continued to march. Nellie said at the time, “our continuing to march that day was not stubbornness to defy the elements, but willingness to cope as best we could in our determined efforts to defend the unalienable and paramount right to life of our born and preborn brothers and sisters.” The resolve of each person who trekked to Washington, while the city was under a blizzard warning and state of emergency, to march for life inspires me and renews my faith that together we can protect the sanctity of life. This week serves as an important reminder to every elected official, doctor, father and mother that ALL life is precious. We are reminded that at the center of our Pro-Life struggle is the protection of all human life. We cannot live in a society where some life is valued and other life is not. I stand united with the March for Life delegation and ProLife advocates across the country in the belief that all life is precious. All life has value and the casual taking of life is wrong. Across our great nation, millions of Americans are coming together today to demand that the federal government stop assisting in this great assault on innocent life. The federal government should not spend one single dime on Planned Parenthood or any associated groups. Taxpayer dollars should never be used to take the life of the unborn. As work continues to overturn Roe v. Wade, we must also lay the foundation for a society that does not accept abortion as a form of birth control. Pro-Life advocates like myself have taken up this cause, but work still remains. Open hearts and open minds can heal our nation and change abortions into adoptions. We must join together to pray for the protection of the unborn. The intersection of prayer and action can produce amazing results. I know we can accomplish our goals, and innocent human lives can be saved.
Thus far, nearly $40,000 has been expended on the flood recovery effort. According to Superintendent Larry Johnson, “We will continue to work diligently to restore facilities and services that have been impacted by the flood, and will explore options for funding to help defray these costs.

I am extremely proud of the efforts of our Ozark Riverways staff and ask for continued patience from the public while we continue with what is sure to be a long term recov-
ery process.” For a current listing of the status of park facilities, please refer to the park website at http://www.nps.gov/ ozar/planyourvisit/levels. htm.

More than 1.2 million Walmart U.S. and Sam’s Club associates will receive a pay increase under the second
phase of the company’s twoyear, $2.7 billion investment in workers. The pay raise, which takes effect Feb. 20, will be one of the largest single-day, private-sector pay increases ever. As an industry leader for competitive pay and benefits, Walmart is also implementing new short-term disability and simplified paid time off (PTO) programs. The combined changes will expand support for associates dealing with extended health issues and provide associates greater control over their paid time away from work. “We are committed to investing in our associates and to continuing to simplify our business. When we do so, there is no limit to what our associates can accomplish,” said Judith McKenna, chief operating officer for Walmart U.S. “Our customers and associates are noticing a difference. We’re seeing strong increases in both customer experience and associate engagement scores. Five straight quarters of positive comps in our U.S. business is just one example of how helping our associates grow and succeed helps the company do the same.” This associate investment was taken into account in the financial outlook discussed last October at the company’s annual analyst meeting. Today’s announcement addresses the details for associates. Specifics are provided below. WAGES A job at Walmart means competitive pay for all associates. Every year, the company promotes 160,000 associates to jobs with higher pay and more responsibility and last year Walmart converted more than 150,000 associates from part-time to full-time. On Feb. 20, 2016, the company will implement one of the largest single-day, private-sector pay increases ever, benefiting more than 1.1 million hourly associates. The changes taking effect include: - All associates hired before Jan. 1, 2016 will earn at least $10/hour. o New entry-level associates hired after Jan. 1 will continue to start at $9/hour and will move to at least $10/hour after successfully completing the company’s new retail skills and training program known as Pathways. - Associates already earning more than $10/hour will receive an annual pay increase in February rather than waiting until their anniversary date. - Walmart is raising the starting rate of its non-entry level hourly pay bands. Anyone earning below the new minimum will automatically move up to the new minimum. - Associates at or above their pay band maximum will receive a one-time lump sum payment equal to 2 percent of their annual pay. - When these changes go into effect, Walmart’s average full-time hourly wage will be $13.38/hour. The average part-time hourly wage will be $10.58/hour. Walmart’s associate investment is about more than wages and benefits: it is designed to provide associates the tools they need to grow with the company and provide great customer service. The company is also creating new training programs, which will create clear career paths from entry-level positions to jobs with more responsibility and higher pay.

Getting Real about the REAL ID Act One of my responsibilities as a state senator is to communicate accurate information to my constituents and to help address the concerns of the residents of my district. Lately there has been a lot of misinformation, worry and questioning as a result of the 2016 REAL ID Act rollover that occurred at the beginning of this month. I’d like to use this week’s column to outline some of the important facts you need to know moving forward, especially if you are a resident of Texas County or a frequent visitor to Fort Leonard Wood. Let me start by giving a little bit of background information about the REAL ID Act. When the act was passed in 2005 in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, it required state driver’s licenses to meet certain minimum standards, and some state legislatures were worried the federal government would use the new policies to invade American citizens’ personal information and privacy. However, many states chose not to comply with the act, and the Missouri Legislature passed a law banning compliance with the act in 2009 to protect the citizens of the Show Me state. Due to Missouri’s noncompliance, as of Jan. 10, 2016 our state-issued licenses are no longer considered a valid form of identification for accessing certain military bases and some federal facilities. This issue is where the large amount of misinformation and public concern stems from. I want to make the following very clear: You will be able to board a plane with your current Missouri license at least until January 2018; you will be able to enter Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base with a current Missouri license and a second form of identification (U.S. passports, Social Security cards, certified birth certificates, etc.); and you will be able to enter the state’s federal courthouses at this time with your current state-issued ID. As of Jan. 22, 2018, Missouri-issued driver’s licenses will no longer be accepted to board a plane for a domestic flight, though this date might be pushed back. Some alternatives to a Missouri driver’s license that are compliant with the REAL ID Act include: U.S. passports, U.S. passport cards, U.S. military IDs and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) trusted traveler cards, which can be obtained for as low as $50 for a five-year membership. Additionally, the U.S. Marshall’s offices have said they will not change their identification and security procedures for federal courthouses in the state until they receive more guidance from the DHS. For the complete list of ID types that will work as second forms at Fort Leonard Wood, visit wood.army.mil. The takeaway here is to not panic about your driver’s license being noncompliant. You can still board domestic flights with it for another two years, you can still enter federal courthouses and you can still travel through Fort Leonard Wood with a valid second form of ID. Missouri lawmakers have already introduced several bills this session addressing the REAL ID issue. Please remember, the Capitol always has, and will continue to have, your right to personal liberty and privacy as one of its number one concerns. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

During an interview with Eades he stated that he drove himself to the WPPD because he had to make it real to get the National Guard called. He stated that he hid a black powder metal pipe bomb in one of the aisles at Walmart. Eades went on to describe to investigators that the device was a 2 inch pipe threaded on both ends, approximately 12 inches long, filled with gun powder, having a fuse in the end of it. He admitted that he built it himself and camouflaged it into the pipes in the plumbing in the hardware department at Walmart. Eades claimed that he did these things to initiate standard police protocol to ensure the bomb was found. He later admitted that there was no bomb

From Page One at Walmart. He stated that he just told law enforcement so the National Guard would be called so that they would kill either himself or Bob who is in his mind. When asked who Bob was Eades replied that Bob is the vice that comes from overhead at the Conoco. According to court documents Bob was referred to previously by Eades as a person who was spreading the mark of Cain. During interview, Eades stated that he had taken the items in his possession from the Episcopal Church and Masons Lodge because he could cause more damage with it. Eades told officers that he kicked the door in and “tore it up”. He reportedly broke into the Episcopal Church because he knew there was a graveyard underneath it and he wanted to get to it. He also admitted to breaking the front door glass of the
Eagles throws down the stretch to grab their first championship of the season. It wasn’t always easy. In the semi-finals the Alton Comets even managed to briefly grab a lead against the Eagles as the tournament had a few surprises along the way. Of course, some games were decidedly lopsided. Besides Liberty’s opening round destruction of Koshkonong, there were a few other games that hit the turbo-clock in the fourth quarter. Thayer entered two teams into the JV tournament and Bobcat 1 made quick work of Summersville’s JV on Monday. Thayer cruised to a 64-20 victory. The varsity game was much the same, especially after Thayer outscored Summersville 30-3 in the third quarter and took a 51-point lead. The varsity Bobcats finished off the fourth quarter with an 8428 victory. Monday’s surprise came from the JV Eminence Redwings who out-played Doniphan’s JV in a 47-37 victory. It wasn’t such good news for the Redwings varsity however, as they ran into a Doniphan team that simply could not miss. The varsity Dons hit a whopping 16 three-pointers in the game and defeated the Redwings 68-53. Wednesday the Liberty Eagles varsity and junior varsity advanced with wins over Koshkonong, meanwhile the Alton varsity advanced with a 55-43 win over Houston, and the JV Thayer Bobcat 2 team, defeated the Houston JV as well. It got a little dicey for the varsity Eagles in the semi-finals against Alton. Shades of poor play and bad decisions from the first

Masonic Lodge, knocking the paintings off the wall because he was really upset. He stated that at the Episcopal Church he kicked the door until it broke open and then broke a window getting out. Eades gave law enforcement consent to search his vehicle that he had driven to the WPPD as well as his motel room at the Super 8 Motel. Upon entering his hotel room law enforcement retrieved a package of rolling papers and change. No other personal property was present. Nathan James Eades, 29 of West Plains was arrested on a Howell County warrant for 2 counts of burglary-2nd degree; felony stealing; property damage-1st degree and making a terrorist threat. He is currently being held on a $135,000 bond.

From Page One few weeks of 2016 tried to resurface. After jumping out to a 10-point lead in the first quarter, the Eagles were outscored in the second quarter 19-13 and led by just four at halftime. If not for two 3-point shots from Brenton Bush, and another from Mathew Coatney in the second quarter, Liberty would have lost the lead completely. In fact, for a moment, they did, but the Eagles righted the ship by the end of the third quarter and pulled away in the fourth for a 64-51 victory. Doniphan couldn’t find any magic at the threepoint line versus Thayer on Thursday, at least not enough of it, as the Bobcats led the entire way and sank some three-point shots of their own in the fourth quarter for 66-50 win. Ayden Henry scored a whopping 36-points for the Bobcats in the game. That set the stage for Saturday’s championship matchup against the Eagles as the Tournament wrapped up with six games on Saturday. Doniphan defeated Houston for the JV Consolation game. Eminence took the third place trophy, and Thayer 1 defeated Thayer 2 for the JV championship. On the varsity side, Eminence grabbed the Consolation trophy, Doniphan defeated Alton for third place, and the Liberty Eagles put together one of their best games of the season. Liberty was led by Corbin Dewick who finished the night with 23 points, but it was Coatney and Stout who sparked the Eagles in the first quarter. Coatney buried a couple of three-point shots, and Stout was hitting jumpers and dominating inside. “You gotta move the ball
and make (Thayer’s) zone shift,” said Brown, “And when it shifts you gotta be able to attack those seams. And then when you get in there you can’t get in too far, because you’ll get in trouble.” The Eagles got into trouble in the second quarter as the Bobcats erased the Eagles’ lead and took a 26-25 lead in the second quarter. A three-point shot and a basket by Dewick, plus two baskets from Josh Pruett rallied Liberty by halftime, however, and Liberty led 34-26. Thayer chipped away at that lead in third quarter, pulling to within four, but 10 fourth quarter points from Dewick, and baskets from Coatney and Stout put the game just out of reach, and handed the Eagles the trophy. “(We) came out, got off to a great start. Gave a little back,” said Coach Brown, “But down the stretch in the fourth quarter I felt we executed. We stepped up and made our free-throws. We made good decisions and it was enough to hang on. It was a much-needed championship.” ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM: Corbin Dewick (MVP), Josh Pruett, Mathew Coatney, Zack Horton(Thayer), Ayden Henry(Thayer), Klay Barton(Doniphan), Brad Eddens(Doniphan), Jed Edwards(Alton), Caleb Steele(Alton), Trent McBride(Eminence) LIBERTY SCORING VERSUS THAYER: Coatney 14, Bush 3, Dewick 23, Stout 13, Hedden 3, Orchard 2, Pruett 7. VERSUS ALTON: Coatney 10, Holden 2, Bush 16, Dewick 20, Stout 2, Orchard 2, Pruett 12.

Missouri has a chance to show some progress By Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Missouri showed signs of improvement Saturday at No. 10 Texas A&M, but in the end the Tigers lost 66-53, their fourth straight loss and their 20th straight road game loss, a streak that dates back two seasons. But first let’s talk about those hints of life. Playing on the road, against a top-10 team that sits atop the Southeastern Conference standings, Missouri (8-11, 1-5 in SEC play through Sunday) hung tough and even led by four early in the second half. But Texas A&M (17-2, 7-0 in SEC through Sunday) finally started hitting more shots and pulled away down the stretch in front of a big home crowd. Freshmen Kevin Puryear
and Terrence Phillips showed signs of developing as leaders, even if they can’t play at a high level consistently yet. Also, in a game with plenty of missed shots, Missouri actually outrebounded the Aggies. But the Tigers made just 3 of 19 three-pointers (15.8 percent). Had the Tigers brought that performance in their previous game, a three-point home loss to Georgia, they probably would have won. But instead that was a game of largely objectionable basketball with Georgia ripping off a 17-0 run in the second half. When things start to come off the rails for Missouri, this young, often outgunned team struggles to get the situation under control. But Missouri has some opportunities coming up, after
first traveling to Kentucky on Wednesday (8 p.m. on SEC Network) for what should be a very difficult game. Kentucky, as usual, has a ton of talent and a passionate fanbase that makes Rupp Arena a tough place to play. The Wildcats (15-4, 5-2 in SEC) are a young team, but there is a difference between Kentucky’s young players and Missouri’s young players. For that game, it would be nice to simply see Missouri give it a good effort again and show the competitiveness they brought for the Texas A&M game. Missouri won’t win, but it should be better than last year’s 86-37 debacle of a loss at Rupp. For Missouri, the real chance to break through is on Saturday, when the Tigers host Mississippi State (7:30
p.m. on SEC Network). The Bulldogs (8-11, 1-5 in SEC through Sunday) began the week tied with Missouri and Alabama at the bottom of the SEC standings. Mississippi State is trying to build something under firstyear coach Ben Howland, who took UCLA to three straight Final Fours last decade. The Bulldogs beat Ole Miss for their first SEC win last Saturday. For all of Missouri’s flaws, this is a game the Tigers can win, especially at home. Mississippi State has the edge in experience, led by seniors Gavin Ware and Craig Sword. But Missouri has shown hints of being able to turn a corner, to make even a tepid bit of progress to give fans some hope. A win here could be a tangible step forward for the program.

Could You Have COPD? Dear Savvy Senior, I have struggled with some shortness of breath for the past five years or so. I just thought I was getting older and out of shape, but a friend recently mentioned I may have COPD. What can you tell me about this? Breathless Bob Dear Bob, COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a serious lung disease that, over time, makes it hard to breathe. What’s more, an estimated 24 million people have COPD today, but about half of them don’t know it. Many people mistake shortness of breath as a normal part of aging, or a result of being out of shape, but that’s not necessarily the case. COPD – a term used to describe a variety of lung diseases including emphysema and chronic bronchitis – develops slowly, so symptoms may not be obvious until damage has occurred. Common symptoms include: an ongoing cough or a cough that produces a lot of mucus; shortness of breath, especially during physical activity; wheezing; and chest tightness. Those most at risk are smokers or former smokers over age 40, and people who have had long-term exposure to other lung irritants like secondhand smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes and dust. There is also a rare genetic condition known as alpha-1-antitrypsin, or AAT deficiency that can increase the risks. If you’re experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms, you need to get tested by your doctor. A simple breathing test called spirometry can tell if you have COPD, and if so, how severe it is. Early screening can also identify COPD before major loss of lung function occurs. If you do indeed have COPD, you need to know that while there’s no cure, there are things you can do to help manage symptoms and protect your lungs from further damage, including: Quit smoking: If you smoke, the best thing you can do to prevent more damage to your lungs is to quit. To get help, the National Cancer Institute offers a number of smoking cessation resources at smokefree.gov or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Or ask your doctor about prescription antismoking drugs that can help reduce your nicotine craving. Avoid air pollutants: Stay away from things that could irritate your lungs like dust, allergens and strong fumes. Also, to help improve your air quality at home, remove dust-collecting clutter and keep carpets clean; run the exhaust fan when using smelly cleaning products, bug sprays or paint; ban smoking indoors; and keep windows closed when outdoor air pollution is high (see airnow.gov for daily air-quality reports). Guard against flu: The flu can cause serious problems for people who have COPD, so get a flu shot every fall and wash and sanitize your hands frequently to avoid getting sick. Also ask your doctor about getting the pneumococcal immunizations for protection against pneumonia. Take prescribed medications: Bronchodilators (taken with an inhaler) are commonly used for COPD. They help relax the airway muscles to make breathing easier. Depending on how severe your condition, you may need a short-acting version only for when symptoms occur, or a long-acting prescription for daily use. Inhaled steroids may also help reduce inflammation and mucus and prevent flare-ups.

reopens for a second period of time.” Raedeke added that once selections are made, Missouri then keeps the same season-date formulas for multiple years, with the next ones being 2017 to 2020. “Conservation makes Missouri a great place to hunt waterfowl. As hunters know, hunting conditions can vary tremendously from one year to the next,” he said. “During some years, the best hunting can occur early in the season. During other years, it can occur late. Limiting changes to every four or five years helps the Department of Conservation evaluate the effectiveness of zone boundaries and season dates over a range of conditions.” Raedeke noted that recommended changes for a giv-
en period depend primarily upon hunter input. “If most hunters from a particular region prefer a different season structure or season dates, we will likely recommend a change,” Raedeke said. “Hunter input from the last series of workshops prompted MDC to make two changes to the boundary of the south hunting zone.” He added that given the range of hunter preferences, not all hunters will be completely satisfied with season dates and zone boundaries. “Our aim is to accommodate at least a portion of most hunters’ desires. We listen to what waterfowl hunters want and sincerely appreciate their time, effort, and input.” For more information, visit the MDC website at http://on. mo.gov/1giLHme.
