Liberty Invitational Tournament
Eagles dominate in tournament by Brian Ingalls Mountain View Standard News office@mvstandard.com
In what could spell bad news for everyone else in the South Central Association, it appears the Liberty Eagles have recaptured the momentum on their season. At least that's how it looked last week at the 44th Annual Liberty Invitational Tournament as the varsity Eagles dominated every game to grab the first place trophy and the junior varsity
took second in five days of basketball at Liberty High School. Rarely has it looked this easy. The varsity Eagles began Monday with a 62-47 victory over Alton, followed on Thursday with a 74-39 win against Summersville, and put an emphatic stamp on the tournament with a 62-37 defeat of Thayer in the championship. It wasn't just the margin of victory, however, it was the way Liberty played that seemed most improved.
April General Election
“It was a good week for us. That game, the We got better each night,” championship showdown said Liberty Head Coach with Thayer, was expected to Rob Brown, “On Saturday be physical and it was. It was we played our best game of the year.” See Eagles on Page 4

MO Supreme Court Execution order withdrawn The Missouri Supreme Court issued an order on Thursday, Jan. 22 withdrawing the execution warrant for Marcellus Williams. Williams was scheduled to be Missouri's first 2015 execution, Marcellus taking Williams place on
Wednesday, Jan. 28. He was to be executed for the murder of a former St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Felicia Gayle. The incident, which took place in 1998, accused Williams of stabbing Gayle 43 times, inflicting 7 fatal wounds. William's attorney asked for the halt of execution due to "lack of evidence". The lawyer is calling for further testing of evidence found at the scene.

Thank You From the Oziah Family To those who have given so much, As many of you know, our family was struck by tragedy this past November. Our six-yearold son, Hayden, was severely injured in a firearm accident and since then has undergone ten operations to repair the damage done to his arm and leg and has more to come. Today, Hayden remains in therapy and is healing well overall. He will continue to see an orthopedic specialist who has a five-year plan for Hayden regarding cosmetic repair and any further repairs that may arise with the growth of his arm overtime. Hayden has remained in good spirits and has not let the limited mobility slow him down. While we do not know what the future holds as far as function of his arm and hand, we do know that he is a very determined little boy with a very large support system. From day one of this trial that we have been given, our family has received endless support from friends, family and even complete strangers. The support from you all has not only been monetary, but so many have sent well wishes, cooked meals for our family, sent gifts, cards and snacks for Hayden and so much more. The Summersville community came together for us and provided a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner for our entire family while we were still at the hospital recovering as well as sizeable financial donation. WE have been blessed by a wonderful church family at the Mtn. View Christian Church that is full of faithful servants who have dropped to their knees in prayer time and time again for our family. Not only have
they prayed daily for healing of Hayden's injuries, but also brought groceries, meals and money to our home and ensured that our kids had a good Christmas. We have received countless gifts, meals, messages, phone calls, cards, hugs, shared lots of cries and laughs with so many of you. Without your support we are certain we would not have made it through. When we step back and look at the magnitude of the kindness, generosity and overall outpour of love that has been bestowed on our family it is simply breathtaking. On January 10, many of our biggest supports rallied together wearing t-shirts with Hayden's name, to a benefit in honor of our family. The money that was raised from the breakfast, lunch, auction, donation and t-shirt sales will help tremendously with medical bills incurred from the accident. We could not be more appreciative of your support in this. Thank you to anyone and everyone who helped organize and set up the benefit. Thank you to those who donated items for the auction. Thank you
to those who bought items at the benefit. Thank you to those who helped sell and those who bought Team Hayden shirts. It is so humbling to see you all wearing our son's name with pride. You truly are Hayden's Heroes. There has not been a day go by that we have not received support and encouraging words from someone. Thank you will never be enough considering the extent of everyone's generosity. Please know that you each hold a special place in our heart and we are forever indebted to this community and those surrounding it. Hayden still has a long road to recovery and knowing that so many people have his back makes this journey seem a little smoother. Thank you for being there for us in our darkest hour. Since we have not been able to work full-time we have struggled with worry about how to make ends meet but we have been shown nothing but selfless love and it has opened our eyes and hearts to just how wonderful the people who surround us are. Thank you all. God Bless you all, the Oziah Family.

also expected to be close however, and it wasn't. The Eagles entered the fourth quarter leading 46-24 and Thayer was never able to make up ground. “We did everything we wanted and forced Thayer into situations that benefited us,” explained Brown, “I was extremely pleased with the effort. Against Thayer, Liberty was led by Jansen Acklin who finished the night with 25 points including 18 in the second half. It capped off a stellar week for the senior guard as he led the team in scoring all three nights and averaged over 21 points a game. When the All-Tournament team was announced, it was no surprise that Acklin was named the Tournament's Most Valuable Player. Two other Liberty Players were named to the AllTournament team including Luke Daniels who averaged 11 points a game, and hit double figures against both Alton and Summersville. Bryan Porter was also named to the All-Tournament team after scoring 14 in the championship and hitting 10 of 12 free throws. Other players recognized included Ayden Henry and Zyman Langley from Thayer, Gus Hawkins and Dylan Cooper from Summersville, Lucas Moe from Doniphan, Levi
Schmidt from Alton, and Roger Porter from Eminence. Another Liberty player who could have made the AllTournament squad after playing well all three nights was Luke Noble. Noble was a force inside against Thayer, and scored in double figures against Summersville on Thursday night. Free throws likely cost the Eagles' junior varsity the championship on Saturday. Liberty's JV missed 20 free throws against Thayer in a game they lost by just eight. It was just the second loss of the season for the JV as they struggled to get any shots to fall, managing only two points in the first quarter and falling behind by fifteen in the second. A scrappy defense, and sheer determination brought them back but Thayer eventually held on for a 41-33 victory. In stark contrast, the varsity took advantage of 23 fouls from the Bobcats, as opposed to just 10 total by Liberty, and went to the line 18 times Saturday, making 22 of 33 free throws. It may not have won the game for the varsity, but it certainly was a big reason for Liberty's dominance. The varsity's record now stands at 13-5 with a stretch of SCA games looming in February. Coach Brown and the Eagles now turn their attention to the conference,
It’s time to get your sunbonnets and suspenders ready to wear to our pioneer party next Saturday morning. We’re going back in time for a few hours; making butter, building log cabins, and more.

The library may be closed by the director if she deems the roads to be hazardous. We advise our patrons to phone their local branch

and their preparation for a run in Districts. “Going forward we can always be better with our offensive movement,” said Brown, “Sometimes we become ball watchers. Our free throws have been an issue all season. We can improve in that aspect as well!” On Saturday in the championship in front of a capacity crowd, the varsity looked like they were well on their way to improving in every aspect. It bodes well for the season's stretch run, and it doesn't bode well for the SCA teams that are in the path of these Liberty Eagles. For much of the week, however, it wasn't only the Eagles who were blowing out opponents. Until Saturday, which featured two overtime games and several exciting finishes, the rest of the week in this year's version of the Liberty Tournament, wasn't so close. MONDAY started with a crushing 48-15 victory by the JV Eagles over the JV Alton Comets. Facing the athletic defense of the Eagles, Alton's highest score in any quarter was five points, and they didn't reach double figures until the third quarter. Even then, the Comets only had 11 points, and managed just four more in the fourth. Liberty was led by Brenton Bush who finished the afternoon with 13 points including two three-pointers. Stephen Shoup was second with 11, and Kole Orchard finished with ten. The second game of the day between the Houston JV and the Summersville JV was close for a half. After two quarters, Houston led 18-13 but then outscored the Wildcats 25-2 in the third and fourth quarters. Summersville's only points of the second half came with just over one minute remained. When the varsity took
the court, the Eagles found themselves in a battle during the first half against Alton. Acklin powered Liberty with 12 first half points as the Eagles took a 22-18 lead at halftime. A 12-point third quarter from Luke Daniels, and stifling defense broke the game open for Liberty however. The Eagles went into the fourth quarter with a 43-28 lead. Despite a 19-point outburst by Alton in the fourth quarter led by the Comet's Jed Edwards who finished the night with 15 points, the Eagles were able to keep pace and took a 62-47 victory into the second round. The only close game of the night was the final one as Houston and Summersville's varsity teams battled it out for four quarters. Houston led 29-28 at halftime, but Summersville took a 5-point lead at the end of the third. The final eight minutes were furious as the teams combined for 41 points, but Summersville managed to hold off Houston and took a 63-60 victory sending them to face Liberty on Thursday. TUESDAY saw Thayer begin its collision course with Liberty that would ultimately result in a both the varsity and junior varsity playing the Eagles for the championship. There wasn't much competition on their first night however, as the JV Bobcats easily dispatched Koshkonong 48-12 in the first game, and the varsity followed with a 63-39 victory over Kosh as well. The only other game of the night was the varsity game between Eminence and Doniphan, and while the Redwings had a 33-32 lead going into the fourth quarter, the Dons outscored Eminence 22-15 in the final eight minutes to win the game and advance to face Thayer. THURSDAY Liberty's JV took the court again, this
time against Houston, and once again dominated. The Eagles crushed the Tigers 55-21 while Thayer had a close call against Doniphan. Thayer eventually finished with a 39-33 victory over the Dons. On the varsity side, the Eagles exploded for 42 first half points against Summersville to take a 21 point lead. By the end of the third quarter the Eagles had increased that lead to 29 and the turbo clock started running in the fourth quarter. Liberty defeated the Wildcats 74-39 as all nine players on the Liberty roster scored points, including three in double figures led by Acklin with 15, his lowest total of the week. Noble was second with 13 points, and Daniels finished with 12 points. The victory sent Liberty into the championship game, and Thayer would meet them there after taking care of Doniphan with a 27 point victory. The Bobcats took a 33-22 lead at halftime, and broke the game open in the third quarter thanks to 13 points by Ayden Henry. Doniphan's scoring in the fourth quarter came from three-pointers by Lucas Moe, but it wasn't enough to catch Thayer. FRIDAY saw Alton and Koshkonong's JV teams advance to the consolation rounds after a forfeit by Summersville and the lack of a junior varsity team from Eminence. Meanwhile the varsity Alton Comets held on for a 49-43 victory over the Houston Tigers and Eminence defeated Koshkonong 57-45 in varsity play to wrap up the night. SATURDAY needed six games to wrap up both the varsity and junior varsity tournaments. The
JV Consolation game was delayed after the lights in the gymnasium went out during the first half. The scoring wasn't much more exciting as Alton led 11-9 at halftime. Things picked up in the fourth quarter when the teams combined for 30 points, and Alton held on for a 36-31 victory and took the Consolation trophy. The third place JV game between Houston and Doniphan went into overtime when Houston came back to tie it in the final eight minutes after trailing most of the game. Houston hit a couple of three-point shots in overtime, but Doniphan hit enough free throws to take the third place trophy with a 43-39 win. The JV Eagles found themselves in trouble early in the championship versus Thayer. After scoring only two points in the first quarter, the Eagles managed only seven more in the second and trailed 24-9 at halftime. Missing layups and free throws and everything in between, the Eagles defense kept Liberty in the game, holding Thayer to just 17 total points in the second half. Unfortunately, the Eagles were never able to hit enough shots to make up the lost ground, despite 12 points from Kole Orchard and 10 from Stephen Shoup. In the end, Thayer took the first place trophy with a 4133 win. The varsity teams took over starting with an exciting overtime finish between Eminence and Alton in a game that saw momentum swing wildly in the second half. Eminence led 29-20 at halftime but an 11-1 run by Alton gave the Comets a two See Eagles on Page 11

Protecting Life
I have always been and will always be committed to protecting the life of the unborn and standing for the voiceless. It saddens me that we actually have to fight for something such as the life of a precious unborn child, something that each of our mothers chose for us from the first time they heard our heartbeat on the monitor, to the day we were born. However, it is encouraging to see so many people standing and joining the fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. This week, on the 42nd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, I welcomed pro-life advocates from Missouri to Washington, D.C. for the annual March for Life. I watched as they joined tens of thousands of pro-life supporters marching throughout Washington; starting at the National Mall, going past the United States Capitol, and right onto the steps of the Supreme Court to urge the protection of the unborn. It is inspiring to see so many people of all ages, from all across the country, join together in support of the unborn. Since the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, our medical knowledge and expertise have grown exponentially. Babies diagnosed with birth defects in some cases can now be operated on in their mother’s womb, before they are even born. Premature babies born at just 22 and 23 weeks today have a much better chance of growing up to thrive and live healthy lives. With the medical advancements that have already been made, there is no telling where we will be in the years to come. We can say, though, we will most certainly see even more lifesaving medical capabilities, many of which are being developed as we speak. Even as we are seeing these advancements, however, there are still so many people that think it is okay to take the life of an unborn child. It is imperative that we continue fighting each day for the sanctity of life. In both terms I have been in Congress, I have cosponsored the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This would stop abortions after 20 weeks, which is something a majority of Americans agree should be prevented. Along with that bill, another key issue I have worked on and will continue to support is the prevention of federal funding for institutions that provide abortions. You deserve better from your government than spending your hard-earned money on something that is immoral and wrong. I have worked hard to help lead the fight for the unborn in Washington, and I am committed to continuing that fight. Every life is a precious gift; from conception, the day a parent hears their child’s heartbeat for the first time, to the day they are born. If we continue sharing our message and standing up for the life of the unborn, like we do at the annual March for Life, we can change the tide. Together we ensure those who cannot speak have a voice. Together, we truly make a difference.
This week, citizens of the great state of Missouri had the opportunity to hear the governor deliver his State of the State Address. The following morning, legislators were honored to have Judge Mary R. Russell, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri, deliver the State of the Judiciary in the Senate Chamber, in front of both bodies of the Missouri Legislature. These speeches, while steeped in tradition, are a way for legislators and citizens of this state to gauge the intentions of the governor for the upcoming lawmaking session and more. The words, plans and ideas expressed in these events are a kind of weather vane for the legislative battles and successes we can expect to face. Despite promises to keep fiscal discipline as a value, I am still worried and saddened over the governor’s inattention to expanding vital funding for Sheltered Workshops, cybercrimes task forces and more. There are vital programs that are being underfunded at the cost of thousands of Missourians. This needs to be fixed. The governor has called for an additional $11 million for pre-school funding and an additional $150 million for public schools. He is proposing an additional $25 million for higher education based on how well they meet strong performance standards. Education is a top priority for everyone in this state, and I am confident that we will progress toward better educating our children this session. By starting the conversation early, we can ensure there is plenty of time for drafting and coming to a consensus on these issues. The State of the Judiciary once again provided a glance into the ever evolving world of the judicial system in our state. There are many things that play a role in the shaping of legal mechanisms that make up our judicial system. Work done here in the Legislature is sometimes the only way to officially illicit changes that are warranted. I also learned many things that our courts are doing. Judge Russell told us that the Supreme Court has recently adopted a new rule – that if people demonstrate they are unable to pay a fine, municipal judges will be required to give them more time to pay it. She also told us of success within court treatment programs, like veteran’s courts, truancy courts for youth and more. The system is being shaped to assist people in their unique circumstances, and help them not only learn from their mistakes, but make positive strides to better their lives. I look forward to seeing what the rest of session holds. It appears there is finite attention focused on the work that needs to be done, and while we cannot always agree on a solution, at least we have identified areas of concern. I assure you, I will work to see that those concerns are addressed this session. 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.

MSHP: School Bus Inspections starting at a school district near you
We see the flashing stop signals and the familiar stop arm. We recognize the big yellow motor vehicle. We know school buses have distinguishing characteristics recognized as being geared toward the safety of picking up, dropping off, and transporting children. But, do we know the measures taken to ensure all the safety equipment on buses—both seen and unseen—are working properly? The age of the vehicle determines how often, but, at most and by law, we will have to have a safety inspection done on those vehicles is every other year. In contrast, a school bus in Missouri is required by law to be the subject of a safety inspection at least twice a year. The initial inspection takes place up to 60 days prior to the start of the school year, and is done at an approved motor vehicle inspection station or at the school district facilities by a state licensed motor vehicle inspector. The second inspection, done in the second half of the school year beginning in February, is conducted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Division. Between February and May 2014, Patrol personnel inspected nearly 12,000 school buses. School bus fleets may also be subject to a spot inspection, as the Patrol may inspect any school bus at any time. Watching several inspectors pour over each bus as it is brought in for inspection is much like viewing a wellrehearsed sports team running a play on the field. A litany of items are reviewed, such as brake performance, wheels and tires, lighting, seats, exhaust, mirrors, and the steering mechanism, to name a few. Also scrutinized are items specific to school buses, such as the color of paint, emergency exits, lettering, and stop arms. Based on the inspection by the Patrol, each bus is rated as “approved”, “rejected”, or “placed out of service." Of the 11,997 buses inspected by the Missouri State Highway Patrol in 2014, 84.7% or 10,161 buses were found to have no defective items and were rated as “approved." Buses having one or more defective items, but deemed to be safe for the transportation of students were rated as “rejected.” For the 11.9% or 1,431 buses rated as “rejected,” school districts were allowed 10 days following the initial inspection to repair the identified defects before being reinspected by Patrol personnel. The buses found to have one or more defective items, and believed to compromise the safe transportation of students, were rated as “out of service.” The 3.4% or 405 buses that were rated as “out of service” by inspectors had to be repaired, then re-inspected by the Patrol’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Division prior to being used to transport students. These checks and balances ensure that Missouri school buses are among the safest in the nation. While school districts and the Patrol work toward protecting the state’s most precious cargo, we as drivers can also play a part in the safety equation. In our busy lives, when we see a school bus, we should be reminded to slow down and pay more attention. The school bus you see may be preparing to receive or discharge children. Please remember Missouri law requires you to stop and not pass a bus that is displaying flashing stop signals and the stop arm until the signals and arm are turned off. Be especially alert for children going to and from the bus, as some children may be running and not watching traffic. Drivers should also make sure they can see and be seen. Clear all windows of that pesky frost, ice, and snow, and remember to turn on headlights to help cut through the long, cold, gray days. As a driver, we have been tasked with operating our vehicle with the highest degree of care. A combination of safe drivers and safe school buses is something we can all “live” with. In support of “The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths,” the Patrol encourages motorist to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!

MSU-WP 'A World Apart' theme of annual film series “A World Apart” is the theme of the 15th annual film series, which will be hosted by the University/Community Programs Department at Missouri State UniversityWest Plains during the month of February. Films for this free, weekly event will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Thursday evenings in the West Plains Civic Center theater. “Inspired by Missouri State-West Plains’ selection for its common reader, Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair With Trash by Edward Humes, this year’s film series focuses on the ideas of sustainability and the footprint humans are leaving on the earth,” said Emily Gibson, coordinator of U/CP theater and events programming. “We are excited to bring a series of films ranging from the challenges you can try at home (“The Clean Bin
Project”), popular films for young audiences (“WALL-E” and “Over the Hedge”), and a documentary detailing how trash can become powerful art. We hope these films, ranging from light-hearted to real-life challenges, can help audiences connect to the idea of sustainability and our impact on our planet.” The series begins Feb. 5 with the showing of “The Clean Bin Project.” In this multi-award winning festival favorite, partners Jen and Grant try to answer the question, “Is it possible to live completely waste free?” by going head to head in a competition to see who can produce the least garbage. The film features laugh-out-loud moments, stop motion animations and unforgettable imagery. Captivating interviews with renowned artist Chris Jordan and TED lecturer Captain
Charles Moore make this film a fun and inspiring call to individual action that speaks to crowds of all ages. The film is not rated. The series continues Feb. 12 with Disney Pixar’s animated feature “WALL-E.” Set in 2700, the film tells the story of WALL-E, a trash-compacting robot who has been left behind on a garbage-filled Earth after it was abandoned by humans. Despite finding a “few” mementos among the trash which he believes are worth keeping, WALL-E continues to do what he’s been programmed to do until he comes across a visiting robot, Eve, who has been sent back to Earth by the humans, who are now living in outer space, to see if there is any sign of life on the planet. When WALL-E shows her a living plant among the rubble, she takes it back to the spaceship
housing the humans, with a love-struck WALL-E on her heels. The result is a journey that will ultimately decide the fate of human kind. The film is rated G. On Feb. 19, “Waste Land” takes center stage. Filmed over nearly three years, this award-winning documentary follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world’s largest garbage dump. There, he photographs an eclectic band of “catadores” – self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. The film offers stirring evidence of the transformative power
of art and the alchemy of the human spirit. “Waste Land” is not rated. The series will conclude Feb. 26 with “Over the Hedge.” This animated film featuring the voice talents of Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, William Shatner, Nick Nolte and Allison Janney, among others, tells the story of traveling raccoon con artist, RJ, who arrives in some woods outside a human city in the Midwest and is excited about the wonders that living near humans can bring hungry animals. Encouraged by RJ, the other forest animals slowly venture over the hedge that
separates them from the brand new suburban development that appeared over the winter while they were sleeping. RJ shows them a whole new world where humans leave large bins of food and trash ripe for the taking, but they also discover that humans are more threatening than they had thought. This film is rated PG. Each film showing will be followed with a discussion session facilitated by a Missouri State-West Plains faculty or staff member. For more information about the annual film series, call the U/CP Department office at 417-255-7966.

Missouri struggling to end losing streak by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Missouri added to its growing collection of narrow defeats on Saturday, losing 61-60 at home to Arkansas. It was a fifth straight loss for Missouri (7-12, 1-5 in SEC play through Sunday). If Tiger fans haven’t been numbed by the losing in this rebuilding season, it was perhaps the most stinging defeat yet. Missouri’s Wes Clark, a good free throw shooter who had made a lot of plays on the afternoon, had two free throws with 3.3 seconds left and the Tigers down one. Clark missed both, and Arkansas (15-4, 4-2 in SEC play) won. A hush fell over Mizzou Arena, which had its biggest crowd of the season at 11,022. Arkansas players celebrated on the court, and Clark headed for the locker room in tears. For former Missouri coach Mike Anderson, it was his first win in Columbia in three tries as the Razorbacks coach. Johnathan Williams III, the team’s leading scorer and rebounding, was a bright spot for the Tigers, with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Montaque Gill-Caesar had 16 points off the bench on 6-for-9 shooting. Missouri had eight turnovers in the game, but given the pressuring style Arkansas plays, it could have been worse in that department. Arkansas looks like an NCAA Tournament team, but Missouri gave it a good effort before the home crowd. But to come so close and fall short again has to be frustrating for a team that
could use a breakthrough win. Relatively speaking, the first half of Missouri’s SEC schedule is the tougher half, especially since the first half of the conference slate includes two games with Kentucky. The first of those was Missouri’s 86-37 loss at Kentucky’s Rupp Arena. The second is this Thursday in Mizzou Arena (8 p.m. on ESPN). Playing No. 1 Kentucky will probably put a charge into the home crowd, but it’s an extremely long shot that the Tigers would win. Kentucky is about 10-
deep in NBA players. Missouri then gets Mississippi at home on Saturday (3 p.m., Fox Sports Network). Ole Miss (12-7, 3-3 in SEC play) has had some quality results, taking Kentucky to overtime at Rupp, winning at Arkansas and beating Florida at home. The Rebels’ leading scorers are guards Stefan Moody (15.1 points per game) and Jarvis Summers (13.4 points per game). Summers, a senior, has experience and scoring ability. Moody is making over 90 percent of his free
throws this season, so he could be dangerous if Ole Miss is trying to close the game out late. Missouri begins the week tied with Vanderbilt and South Carolina for last in the SEC, so it’s hard to pick the Tigers to win any game at this point. But there’s a big different between playing at home and on the road in conference play. After the Ole Miss game, Missouri plays four of its next six on the road, so it would be big if the Tigers could manage a win on Saturday.

How to Take Care of Your Kidneys Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about kidney disease? My mother died from kidney failure a few years ago at age 76, and I’m curious what my risks are and what I can do to protect myself. Kidney Concerned Dear Concerned, Anyone who has a family history of kidney disease, or who has high blood pressure or diabetes is at risk and needs to have their kidneys tested. Here’s what you should know and some tips to help you take care of your kidneys. Kidney Disease More than 26 million Americans currently have chronic kidney disease (when the kidneys can’t properly do their job of cleaning toxins and wastes from the blood), and millions more are at risk of developing it, yet most people don’t realize it. That’s because kidney disease develops very slowly over many years before any symptoms arise. But left untreated, the disease can eventually require people to spend hours hooked up to a dialysis machine or get a kidney transplant. Even mild kidney problems can double a person’s risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as cause anemia and bone disease. The reason kidney disease has become so widespread today is because of the rise of obesity, type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure which all strain the kidneys. Another factor is the increasing number of people who take multiple medications, which can overtax the organs. People over age 60 are especially vulnerable both because they tend to take more drugs, and because kidney function normally declines somewhat with age. To help you rate your risk of kidney disease, the National Kidney Foundation has a quick, online quiz you can take at kidney.org. Get Tested Because kidney disease has no early symptoms, the only way to catch it before it advances is to have a simple blood and urine test by your doctor. So, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, a family history of kidney disease, or are age 60 or older you need to get tested. African, Hispanic, Asian and Indian Americans along with Pacific Islanders are also at increased risk. If you’re diagnosed with kidney disease you need to know that there’s no cure, but there are steps you can take to help contain the damage, including: Control your blood pressure: If you have high blood pressure, get it under 130/80. If you need medication to do it, ACE inhibitors and ARBs are good choices because of their proven ability to protect the kidneys. Control your diabetes: If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar as close to normal as possible. Change your diet: This usually means reducing the amount of protein and phosphorus you eat, and cutting back on sodium and possibly potassium. Your doctor can help you determine an appropriate eating plan, or you may want to talk to a dietitian. Also see myfoodcoach.kidney.org where you’ll find lots of kidney friendly recipes and nutrition tips. Watch your meds: Dozens of commonly used drugs can damage the kidneys, especially when taken in high doses over long periods – most notably NSAIDs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin and generic) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn and generic). Herbal supplements can also be very dangerous. Talk to your doctor about all the prescription, over-thecounter and herbal products you take to identify potential problems and find alternatives. Exercise and lose weight: If you’re overweight and inactive, start an aerobic fitness routine (walk, swim, cycle, etc.) that gets your heart pumping. This will help lower your blood pressure, control diabetes and help you lose excess weight all of which will help your kidneys. Quit smoking: If you smoke, quit. Heart disease becomes a much greater risk to the kidneys if your smoke. Smoking also doubles the rate of progression to end-stage renal failure. 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.
Officials with the Howell County Health Department want to remind residents of the importance of getting their children vaccinated against the measles. In certain cases, adults are encouraged to receive an additional vaccination against measles, as well. “With the recent outbreak of 59 measles cases in California, we felt it important to remind parents to be sure and get their children’s recommended childhood vaccinations completed within the suggested time-frames,” stated Chris Gilliam, the health department administrator. Measles is a highly infectious, airborne disease that typically begins with fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. These symptoms generally appear about seven to fourteen days after a person becomes infected. Two to three days after symptoms begin, a rash breaks out. It usually begins as flat red spots that appear on the face at the hairline and spreads downward to the neck, trunk, arms, legs, and feet. Small raised bumps may also appear on top of the flat red spots. When the rash appears, a person’s fever may spike to more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Measles
is a highly contagious virus that lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person. It can be spread to others through coughing and sneezing. The virus can live for up to two hours on a surface or in an airspace where the infected person coughed or sneezed. If others breathe the contaminated air or touch the infected surface, then touch their eyes, noses or mouths, they can become infected. Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected. Infected people can spread measles to others from four days before to four days after their rash appears. Fortunately, in the United States measles has been well controlled due to the administration of recommended vaccinations. Since the introduction of measles vaccine in 1963 the number of cases has declined by 98%. It is recommended that most children receive their first MMR vaccine, which includes a vaccination against measles, when they are 12 to 15 months of age. A second dose is now recommended at 4 to 6 years of age. HCHD reminds parents that if their child receives their measles
vaccine prior to their first birthday, it will not count toward the two doses of MMR needed as part of routine measles vaccination. According to the CDC, although effective measles vaccination of only one dose provides 95% protection against measles, a second dose will boost effectiveness of the vaccine to over 99%. Parents who are keeping up with the latest measles outbreaks have likely observed that it isn’t just unvaccinated kids who are getting measles. Adults who are unvaccinated are at risk as well. Just like kids, adults born in or after 1957 are at risk of contracting measles. Gilliam states, “That for this population, we recommend that individuals consider getting blood work done to determine their level of protection against the highly communicable disease.” In spite of the fact that measles was deemed to be no longer endemic in the United States in 2000, due to our highly effective vaccination program, the number of cases introduced to the American population, from primarily Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, have continued to rise since roughly 2011. The peak coming in 2014, when there were 644 cases
identified within the U.S. Gilliam reminds residents that simple measures can be taken to lessen their family’s risk of becoming infected with measles. First, double-check your child’s immunization record to make sure that they have had their age-appropriate doses of MMR vaccine. Second, get your child caught up on any missed vaccines. Third, double-check your own immunization records, as some adults may not have had a second MMR dose if they were born before 1990, when getting the booster dose of MMR became routine. Individuals who should not consider getting the measles vaccination include individual’s whose blood test results indicate they have adequate protection against the illness, individuals born before 1957, individuals who have received two doses of MMR or one dose of MMR plus a second dose of measles vaccine, and individual’s that have already had one dose of MMR and are not at high risk of measles exposure. Adults deemed to be at highest risk include; college students, hospital or medical workers, and individuals that travel abroad.

year will be a showing of vintage couture. Women with Heart is a 501(c)3, whose goal is to educate women about the importance of cardiovascular health and to raise funds for cardiac programs, services and technology at OMC. "So many of our lives have been touched personally by heart disease, my own included. We wanted to come together for two good causes: to raise money for heart health equipment and to educate people in a fun and interesting way that might just save someone's life.
We all know that a good night's sleep is important and we will learn what a big impact it can have on heart health," said Nancy Franz, Chairman of the event. "This event is a fun and educational way to fight heart disease in our community." Franz said the funds from the event will go toward a new $18,000 Respironics Sleep Study machine. The machine, used during sleep studies at the OMC Sleep Lab, collects information on heart pattern, brain wave pattern, leg muscle activity, oxygen levels, eye movements, and respiratory patterns in order to diagnosis a number of sleep diseases and disorders. This is the fifth year for the Women with Heart Luncheon. Over the years, the committee has raised approximately $60,000. These funds have been used for equipment for the stroke and cardiac rehabilitation programs at OMC. Tickets to the event are $40, and are on sale at Kloz Klozet, Community Foundation of the Ozarks, OMC Public Relations Department in the Parkway Shopping Center. A table for eight may be purchased for $250, a savings of $70, and sponsorships are available. A limited number of tickets are available.

Eagles point lead going into the fourth. After several lead changes in the final minutes, Alton clung to a two point lead with 5 seconds left but with one more chance, Kyle Conway pick up a rebound and sank his only basket of the night to send the game into overtime. Once there, Eminence eeked out a 70-68 victory, led by Roger Porter who finished the game with 31 points. Summersville and
From Page Four Doniphan went at it in the third place game. Doniphan led 32-22 at halftime, but thanks to 16 second half points by Gus Hawkins, including 5 of 8 from the free throw line, Summersville cut Doniphan's lead to just five at the end of the third, and outscored Doniphan 15-6 in the fourth quarter for a 52-48 victory. It all led to the final game of the night: the varsity championship between
the Eagles and the Thayer Bobcats. The Eagles won the tip and jumped out to an 8-2 lead in the first two minutes of the game. A three-point shot by Acklin and a baskets from Porter, Noble, and Daniels gave Liberty a 16-6 first quarter advantage. A threepointer from Zach Horton, and free throws from Ayden Henry narrowed Liberty's lead to six, but Bobcat fouls kept sending the Eagles to the free throw line and Liberty

made them count. Porter hit three of four, while Corbin Dewick and Shalin Stout also sank free throws to give Liberty a 26-15 halftime lead. Whatever comeback Thayer hoped to get in the third quarter disappeared under a flurry of Liberty foul shots. Porter started the second half sinking two of them, and hit five of six from the line in the third while Acklin was three of four and added a three-point shot for
good measure. A three-point bucket from Dewick put Liberty on top by 19, and by the end of the third quarter Liberty led by 22. Hitting seven of ten foul shots in the final eight minutes, and getting 10 more points from Acklin, the Eagles never let Thayer back into the game. It was a tough and bruising 62-37 championship victory, but it left no doubt. As of right now at least, Eagles have all
the momentum.
