According to reports on Saturday, September 30 at around 10:15 a.m. a female subject called the Oregon County Sheriff’s Office and reported a shooting at her residence located at Rural Route 91 in Myrtle, MO. When law enforcement arrived on scene a male, identified as Anthony C. Nelson, 24 of Myrtle

was detained.

When questioned, Nelson stated that a female subject and male subject, identified as Joel “Craig” Nelson were having a verbal altercation. Nelson stated he told “Craig” not to come toward them at which point he pulled a gun and pointed it at “Craig”. He advised that “Craig” then took a step forward them and that is when he shot “Craig”.

“Craig” was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Lady Eagles 20-9 overall for season, 6-0 for SCA The Lady Eagles have had a tremendous 2017 season as they now stand at 20-9 overall with an impressive 6-0 SCA record.

Competing in the Licking Tournament on Saturday, September 30 the Eagles battled out an 11-hour day to place second overall in the tourney. Ally Smith and Makayla Irvin were named All Tournament Team Players. The Lady Eagles defeated Willow Springs 25-22, 25-18; Salem 25-14, 25-21; Steelville 25-16, 25-14; Licking 25-17, 25-22 and Rolla 25-20, 20-25, 25-22.

The Lady Eagles fell to Fair Grove during the final match 22-25, 17-25.

On Monday, October 2 the Lady Eagles hosted the Licking Lady Wildcats. The Wildcats were soundly defeated 25-16, 25-12. For the game, Irvin led in kills with 11 followed by Caitlyn Basham with 5, Chloe Kelly, Peyton Bush and Smith with 1 each. Leading in digs

was Trinity Clark with 10, Amber Collins with 3, Abby Reese with 2, Kelly, Basham and Smith with 1 each.

“We had a busy week,” shared Head Coach Shari Tune. “Licking has the ability to be a really tough team, however, we served the ball extremely well and didn’t allow them to get in system well enough to set their big hitters. We had 11 aces on the night and Chloe Kelly had a career high of 6 aces.”

Traveling to Willow Springs the Lady Eagles defeated the Lady Bears in two very close sets, 26-24, 2725. During the game, Coach Tune reported that Irvin took a head shot that gave her a mild concussion and had to match the next game against Ava. Before being taken out, Irvin led the evening with 10 kills followed by Smith with 9, Basham with 4, Kelly, Bush and Kelstin Roy with 1 each. Clark had an outstanding night leading with 22 digs followed by Reese

with 4, Collins, Irvin with 3 each, Smith with 2, Kelly and Basham with 1 each.

“Willow has always been a tough gym for us to play in,” commented Coach Tune.

“We slipped by, barely.. 2624, 27-25. We did a great job of fighting back that entire match, but we have to fix the errors that are creating those problems.” Despite not having Irvin on the floor, “we played really well all around the floor,” explained Coach Tune. “We looked balanced and everyone was involved.”

Ending the week on a high note the Lady Eagles had a big win over the Ava Lady bears on Thursday, October 5. The Lady Eagles dominated set one 25-12 and set two 25-14. For the game, Bush led with 6 kills followed by Basham with 5, Tehya Pierce and Smith with 3 each, Clark with 2 and Roy with 1. Clark had 9 digs for the game followed by Basham with 4, Tayler Randolph and Reese with 3 each, Collins and

around frustrating night. The Salem Tiger defense, after stuffing Mountain Grove the previous week, did the same to Liberty. The Eagles managed only 143 yards of total offense, completed only 9 of 20 passes, and ran for just 87 yards. Liberty’s defense was solid most of the night in keeping the Tigers out of the end-zone, but Salem didn’t need much. A 41-yard touchdown run by the Tiger’s quarterback Cameron Camden in the first half and a 14-yard touchdown pass in the second half were enough to give Salem a 14-7 victory. Liberty’s only score came on a 71-yard punt return for a touchdown

by Koel Orchard in the first quarter.

Turnovers showed up early for Liberty but the defense kept the momentum going the Eagles’ way. Liberty’s first drive began at their 40yard line. After converting a fourth and short at mid-field, the Eagles picked up another first down on a bubble screen to Colten Foster at the Salem 39-yard line. It appeared the Eagles would pick up yet another first down just two plays later, but a fumble cut the drive short and gave the ball to Salem.

Liberty’s defense stuffed the Tigers and forced a threeand-out to get the ball back.

Two plays into their second drive, however, an interception on a deep pass ended the second Liberty drive.

The Liberty defense again shut down the Salem offense thanks to a tackle for a twoyard loss by Tanner Marshall.

The Tigers punted and Koel Orchard broke free on the re-

turn for a 71-yard score. Liberty led 7-0 despite opening the game with two turnovers.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last.

Salem was able to get their offense on track on the next drive. Deep in their own territory, facing a third and 12, Salem avoided another threeand-out when Quincy Leslie broke tackles and picked up 13-yards for a first-down.

The Tigers kept the ball for the next 12 plays, grinding up yards with the running game out of the wishbone offense.

The Eagles defense finally got them stopped at the Liberty 10-yard line and Salem chose to attempt a field goal.

They missed.

The next Salem drive, however, didn’t miss. The Tigers picked up a first-down on the Liberty side of the field, and three plays later, Camden scrambled, broke to the outside, and raced away for a 41yard touchdown.

The Eagles fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and the Tigers had another chance before the half was over. The Liberty defense caught a break when a holding penalty against Salem moved the Tigers back to mid-field and put them into a first-and-24 situation. A sack by the Eagles on third down ended the drive and the Tigers punted.

It was a good punt. The ball went out of bounds at the Liberty six yard line, and the Eagles had little choice but to let the seconds expire in the first-half. At that point, Liberty had totaled just 47-yards

of offense, to Salem’s 165 yards. The yardage for Liberty improved somewhat in the second-half, but finding the end-zone remained difficult.

The first two possessions by both teams in the third quarter went nowhere. Liberty’s starting field position was never good. A 41-yard return of a punt by Ethan Smith was wiped out by a penalty, moving the ball back to the Eagles 17-yard line. A second deep punt by Salem pinned the Eagles at their own four-yard line. Liberty picked up only six yards and punted from the 10, allowing Salem to start their next drive at mid-field.

The Tigers capitalized. Salem picked up two first downs and moved the ball to the Liberty 14. A pass from Camden to Dawson Winn gave Salem a 14-7 lead.

Liberty nearly tied the game on their next possession, however. Starting from their own 27-yard line, the Eagles offense came to life.

Jaris Acklin passed to Foster for six yards and followed that with a nine-yard toss to Jackson Conner. Orchard broke his biggest run of the night on the next play, cutting outside and racing 30 yards to the Salem 27-yard line. Acklin passed to Foster for six yards and Orchard ran for two more, but misfires on third and fourth down ended the drive.

The Tigers offense took over as the third quarter ended, and ate up a chunk of time in the fourth quarter as they

never led, but had the ball in the last two minutes with a chance to win.

The Tiger offense gradually matriculated down the field, but the time was dwindling. After a catch by J’Mon Moore, the clock was running and he tried to run over and hand the ball to the official to spot it so the Tigers could run their next play. A Kentucky player knocked the ball out of Moore’s hand, and the official seemed to be slow in retrieving the ball, so when Missouri could spike it to stop the clock, only three seconds remained.

Missouri’s final play, from the 28, was an incomplete pass. On Sunday, the SEC

Smith with 2 each and Pierce and Roy with 1 each.

The Lady Eagles will round out the season with a non-conference match against Waynesville on Monday, October 9. The last home game and conference match for the Lady Eagles will be held on Tuesday, October 10 against Cabool. The final game of the season will be held at Summersville in

a non-conference match on Thursday, October 12.

“We have a tough week next week. Waynesville is Class 4 on Monday, Tuesday is the chance to capture the SCA title and our Senior night, as well as our Black Out Cancer night. Thursday we travel to Summersville to play a very tough Class 1 team. Those three matches are all big games for us,

and the last week before districts,” Coach Tune stated.

Liberty has been given the number one seed again for district play which will begin on Monday, October 16. The Lady Eagles will play the winner of #4 Cabool and #5 Houston at 6 p.m. in Cabool. The winner will advance to the championship game Tuesday, October 17 at 6 p.m.

Salem defense shuts down Liberty Eagles Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com

It’s not something you see every day. For the first time since anyone can remember, the Liberty Eagles offense did not score a point, and result was a 14-7 loss at home to the Salem Tigers last Friday night in a game that ultimately might not make any difference for the season.

Except for wounded pride of course. The loss drops Liberty’s season record to 3-5, but in regards to Districts, the Eagles remain just where they started at the fourth seed position. Another shocking upset helped the Eagles actually make up ground on the Mountain Grove Panthers.

That upset was a 24-14 victory by the Houston Tigers over the Panthers who have now lost three in a row. Mountain Grove plays the 6-2 Thayer Bobcats this Friday, and another loss could allow the Eagles to jump into the third seed of Districts despite Liberty’s loss to Salem.

Assuming that is, the Eagles can right the ship and take care of the Houston Tigers on Friday. The 3-5 Tigers have won their last two games, none bigger than the victory over Mountain Grove. It was the first victory for Houston over Mountain Grove since 2001. The Tigers held the Panthers to just 116 yards rushing and 70 yards passing.

Mountain Grove scored just one offensive touchdown.

The Eagles had a similar night against Salem.

Five turnovers, zero offensive touchdowns, and an all

methodically moved the ball down the field. Salem had the ball for 13-plays before the Eagles defense stopped them on fourth and four at the Liberty 39-yard line. With six and a half minutes to go, Liberty was in business.

The Eagles clawed their way to a first down after Orchard ran for five yards on fourth and four. Liberty converted another fourth down when Foster caught a pass, broke away from a defender and fought his way for 14 yards to the Salem 35-yard line. One play later, however, an interception ended the Ea-

gles drive.

Time had started to run short. The Liberty defense stopped Salem on third and one, but from their own 15yard line, the Tigers surprisingly went for it, and picked up the first on a one-yard run.

The Eagles defense again came up big on the next set of downs, driving Salem backwards and forcing a punt. The Eagles took over with only 30-seconds left in the game, however. Time eventually ran out, and Salem had the 14-7 victory. Although in the big scheme of things this season, it may not matter.

issued a statement saying a Kentucky player indeed knocked the ball away and that the officials should’ve stopped the clock with 16 seconds left. Missouri could’ve had two or three plays instead of one, and Kentucky could’ve been hit with a defensive delay of game penalty.

Three things. First, Missouri fans have a right to be upset about the sequence.

Second, there’s no guarantee better officiating would’ve meant a Missouri win. The Tigers did plenty on their own to contribute to the defeat, including bad snaps on missed field goals, defensive breakdowns, penalties, turnovers and wasting a timeout in the second half because they couldn’t get a play off in time. Timeouts are insurance against officiating clock mistakes late in games. And third, it was encouraging to see Missouri play a competitive game.

At this point, Missouri is not a good team, but they fought hard Saturday night,

despite the mistakes. Kentucky (5-1, 2-1 in SEC play) is a respectable opponent, and the Tigers hung tough despite falling behind 13-0 early.

Missouri will need that competitiveness plus much better play for their next game, at Georgia on Saturday (6:30 p.m. on SEC Network). The Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0 in SEC) appear to be the class of the SEC East, and are a top-five team in the national rankings. Nick Chubb and Sony Michel give Georgia a robust ground game, and the Bulldog defense is strong, especially agains the run.

One of Missouri’s biggest wins as an SEC member came Between the Hedges in 2013, taking out 13th-ranked Georgia. But that is Missouri’s only win against the Bulldogs since joining the SEC in 2012.

Missouri is a huge underdog here, but showing some heart in a storied SEC venue would be nice to see, especially heading into two very winnable games on the other side.

Missouri hangs tough but loses at Kentucky, travels to Georgia next For four hours Saturday night, Missouri and Kentucky ebbed and surged, struggled and soared, battling in a flawed but fascinating game at Kroger Field.

The teams played deep into the Lexington night as light rain fell off and on, the outcome in doubt until the final second.

Of course, that outcome was a 40-34 Kentucky win, Missouri’s fourth straight loss.

As long as it took to play the game, the final seconds seemed to go too fast. Missouri (1-4, 0-3 in SEC play)

Mtn. View Chamber of Commerce announces new director Mountain View Chamber of Commerce has introduced Patricia “Trish” Stoops as their new chamber director this month.

Chamber President Theresa Gehlken announced during the weekly chamber luncheon Tuesday that that Director Renee DePriest had recently resigned.

“I notified Theresa of my resignation at the end of July but wanted to wait until after Pioneer Days to make the official announcement,” explained DePriest. “I have enjoyed my time as director and appreciate all the support chamber members have

shown. I will miss everyone.

God is leading me in a different direction. I learned a long time ago that when God leads it is best to follow.”

The board selected Stoops as DePriest’s replacement and she was able to start training during Pioneer Days.

“Trish loves Mountain View and will do a wonderful job,” said DePriest. “I encourage everyone to show her the support you have shown me.”

Stoops has a Bachelor of General Business from Missouri State University (formerly SMSU) in Springfield

(HOEC), today announced that it will participate in National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) this October. By participating, HOEC will help raise awareness about cyber threats and ways to stay secure.

“By increasing awareness and enhancing understanding of basic cyber security practices, we can all work together to combat cyber threats,” said Myles Smith, Manager of Member Services. “The human element is often times the biggest cyber security risk.

Each of us has a critical role to play to ensure the security of our personal and professional data.”

The goal of NCSAM is to provide every American with the resources they need to enhance their online safety and security. Since its inception

under leadership from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance, NCSAM has grown exponentially, reaching consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, corporations, educational institutions and young people across the nation.

Co-ops remain cyber aware by taking a number of preparations, including: • Implementing rigorous security standards and technology to protect systems, • Forging close partnerships to protect our systems, and • Engaging in active information sharing about threats and vulnerabilities.

HOEC invites members to join in raising cybersecurity awareness.

Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor Just like every other American, the act of terror in Las Vegas this week troubled me greatly. It’s hard to watch sheer panic set in as crowds of innocent people realize they’re being mowed down by gunfire. It’s also hard to watch individuals capitalize on tragedies such as the one that occurred Tuesday. The first stories that I heard after the attack claimed that this was the fault of liberal America. I read snide articles suggesting the shooter, Stephen Paddock, was a conservative-hating anti-Trump activist, and this is why he chose to open fire on a crowd of primarily conservative country music goers. Later, I would hear cruel comments from CBS legal executive Hayley Geftman-Gold on how she was “not even sympathetic” to shooting victims because “country music fans often are Republican gun toters.” I heard more and more divisive comments like this as the day continued.

I couldn’t help but think that the way we now communicate in America is far more dangerous than any act of terror. Our sense of hyper-partisanship is tearing our society apart. It seems that we can’t agree or resolve any issue effectively anymore. We have no respect for one another; we’ve become a nation of me vs. you, us vs. them, my team vs. yours. If history shows us anything, it’s that nations cannot maintain success if they become overly polarized. We face a problem in this country that poses more of a danger to us than ISIS, Al Qaeda, or the acts of lone terrorists. We face the problem of a Divided States of America.

Seth Woolsey

As fall arrives across Missouri, we are greeted with the familiar changing colors of the leaves, the brisk autumn air and signs of the harvest. Here in the 33rd District, this time of year presents numerous opportunities for fellowship throughout our communities as we come together for annual fairs, picnics and parades.

These events speak to the true nature of life in the Ozarks.

Friends, communities and families coming together to support one another and give each other the opportunity to highlight what they do best. Food and craft vendors line the streets, and many times our streets are filled with more people enjoying the event than live in our communities. These events give us the opportunity to come together to share, reminisce and create new memories.

Over the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure to attend several festivals, including the 34th Annual Norwood Farmer’s Day on Sept. 27. This festival included a children’s parade, which I am told was a sight to see. I was arrived a little later in the day and was too late to see it. I was also very impressed with the groups of students who worked hard to plan their own fundraising booths for the event. They put in the time and effort to prepare items for sale in their booths, with little to no help from their parents. A group of students also stood proudly and sang the National Anthem, their talents and respect for our nation and its flag was inspiring.

With multiple festivals going on every weekend in the Ozarks, it is hard to attend them all. Each is unique in its own right and I look forward to experiencing as many as possible.

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.

Through the Garden Gate

Protecting the Unborn’s Right to Life

Forty-four years have passed since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade, and as a result more than 59 million innocent lives have tragically been lost. To put that into perspective, that would be like aborting every baby born in the United States since 2002. Every representative, every physician and every American must be reminded that at the center of our Pro-Life struggle is the protection of innocent lives.

Life is precious. Just this week, we were reminded of the fragility of life yet again, when a crazed individual murdered 59 people and injured hundreds more in Las Vegas.

I believe that life for everyone begins at conception, and we must do everything we can to protect those unborn. This week, the U.S. House of Representatives, with my support, advanced the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This bill was inspired by a little boy named Micah. Micah was born prematurely at just 20 weeks. He is now a thriving, healthy five-year-old.

Micah is living proof that children born as young as 20 weeks have the potential to grow up and live completely normal lives. “Micah’s Law” will close the loophole in current law which allows these children to be aborted.

At 20 weeks, babies can feel pain, respond to voices and even hear music. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act ensures that any healthcare provider who breaks this law and preforms an abortion after 20 weeks will be punished, and allows them to be fined and imprisoned.

This bill is a step in the right direction to save innocent lives. In addition to supporting the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, I have voted repeatedly and consistently to defund planned parenthood and make sure that no taxpayer funds are used for abortions.

Instead, I have supported pregnancy resource centers like Birthright in Cape Girardeau who protect innocent lives and provide critical resources to mothers and families. I have spent time with them, and I can tell you first hand that they are putting taxpayer dollars to good use and using them to protect unborn babies’ right to life.

I have never wavered from my firm belief that life is precious and must be protected. I share this belief with President Trump and am proud to work along-side him to advance some of the pro-life goals he has outlined. Our President is committed to lead in the fight for life and advancing policies that make America a place where unborn children and their mothers are treated with compassion and justice. He has proved this commitment when he nominated Justice in Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and by signaling his support for “Micah’s Law.” I am proud to stand with the millions across the country who want to protect the unborn’s right to life and will continue to work with Republicans and Democrats alike to recognize the value of life at all stages.

72nd Wedding Anniversary

Mountain View Garden Club Goldenrods and Ragweeds

For many of us fall is the sneezin’ season. Allergies or hay fever are often caused by pollen of plants. Some folks are sensitive to oak and pine pollen in the springtime and others by fall flowers and plants.

The bright yellow goldenrod that is seen along roadsides this time of year gets a bad rap for being the cause of allergies. It has the unfortunate timing of blooming when some of the culprits that do release their pollen to the wind are also blooming.

Goldenrod pollen is large, relatively speaking, and heavy and falls directly to the ground. Ragweed pollen on the other hand, is light and easily airborne. It releases its pollen at the same time the goldenrod blooms, and since the goldenrod is so visible, it gets blamed for hay fever misery when actually the ragweed is at fault.

There are two types of ragweed that are common in the Ozarks. Neither is significant in looks. One is the giant, that is 4 or 5 feet tall, and the other is the lesser ragweed. There is no way to avoid being exposed to this pollen if you are outside at all. One redeeming factor about ragweeds is that they produce seeds that are beneficial food for the bobwhite quail.

So, this information may not help your sneezing, but at least you know what plant to fault. Enjoy those beautiful yellow and gold plumes of the goldenrod while you are rubbing your eyes or reaching for a tissue.

Jack & Jean Thomas celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary October 5.

Medicare Open Enrollment begins in October Open enrollment for Medicare health and drug plans begins on October 15.

Every year between October 15 and December 7 Medicare recipients must decide if their current coverage will continue to meet their needs through the upcoming year. Changes must be made by December 7, 2017 to be effective in 2018.

The prescription drug coverage plan that is part of Medicare coverage can cause confusion.

All Medicare recipients are required to sign up for a prescription drug coverage plan which is known as “Medicare Part D”.

Due to the required Medicare Part D coverage, many seniors find themselves looking at various insurance options.

Because Medicare covers about 55 percent of the patients seen at Texas County Memorial Hospital, TCMH offers to help area residents in the enrollment process, particularly with Medicare Part D. Wes Murray, chief ex-

ecutive officer at TCMH, noted that Medicare coverage can be very confusing for the elderly population.

“Anyone in the market for supplemental Medicare coverage should contact his or her healthcare provider prior to purchasing the coverage,” Murray said. “Ask your healthcare provider if they accept the insurance you plan to purchase.”

Murray cautioned that some enrollees have been told that TCMH accepts certain insurance, but the information is incorrect.

“Before signing up for anything, please make sure the insurance is accepted by your healthcare provider,” Murray stressed.

Additionally, enrollees shouldn’t sign anything without knowing exactly what they are signing for. Copies of any signed

papers should be obtained and retained by enrollees, too.

Anita Kuhn, controller at TCMH, is available to consult at no charge with area residents until December 7 each year. Kuhn will assist those interested in re-enrolling in Medicare Part A and B, if they left it for a Medicare Advantage Plan.

She also can assist in determining the best Medicare Part D coverage for each individual.

Please contact Kuhn for a consultation appointment by calling her office at 417-967-1277 or 1-866967-3311, ext. 4052.

If TCMH is a person’s hospital of choice, information about the insurance carriers they contract with can be obtained by calling the TCMH Business Office at 417-967-1298 or 1-866967-3311.

In Memory of Walter & Liz Hard

Those we love aren’t really gone because they live on in our memories, in our thoughts and always in our hearts. I miss you both.

To my friends, neighbors and family, I would like to say many thanks to my friends, neighbors and family for all the kindness you have shown my kids and I through our time of loss. You guys have no idea how much everything has meant to me and my kids. From the benefit auction to the simple “I am here if you guys need me”. I am truly blessed to live in a community that can pull together and do so much. I really don’t know how I can ever repay each and everyone but I want everyone to know that we appreciate everything.

Thank you all, Clinton Stark and kids

MSHP: Watch for deer!

Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, reminds drivers that deer are more active and create hazards for Missouri motorists this time of year. Last year, drivers in Missouri experienced 4,604 traffic crashes where deer-vehicle strikes occurred. One deer strike occurred every 1.9 hours in the state. In these crashes, there were six fatalities and 455 people were injured.

Deer create hazards for Missouri motorists. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds drivers that an attempt to avoid striking a deer could result in a more serious crash involving oncoming traffic. Try to remain calm. Panicking and overreacting usually lead to more serious traffic crashes. The majority of deer strike crashes occur in October and November each year, with the largest number taking place in November. Although deer strikes can occur at any time, most occur between the hours of 5 p.m. and 6:59 a.m.

Remember: Rural areas are not the only place where deer/ vehicle strikes occur. When you see one, slow down and proceed with caution. Deer often travel in groups--stay on guard after a close call or when you see a single deer. Natural features also affect deer movement. In areas where there are streams or wooded corridors surrounded by farmland, look for more deer to cross roadways.

Deer behavior changes due to mating season, which may cause an increase in sightings and roadway crossings. Hunting and crop harvesting may result in these animals being in places they aren’t usually seen. Drivers are urged to remain alert.

The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

Study away trip to Costa Rica scheduled for summer 2018 Students at Missouri State University-West Plains and community members can learn more about Costa Rica during a short-term, study away opportunity scheduled for summer 2018.

Ana I. Estrella, assistant professor of biology and biomedical sciences, will lead a group of students on a trip to the Central American country to study Costa Rica-The Expedition: Leatherback Sea Turtle Ecology (BIO 197), a three-credit-hour course, from May 23-31, 2018.

Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are the largest turtles on earth, growing up to seven feet long and exceeding 2,000

pounds, she said. These reptiles can be found in the tropic and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. In 1970, it was listed under the Endangered Species Act, she added.

Costa Rica is one of the world’s most important nesting sites for Leatherback sea turtles, Estrella-Riollano, said. Scientists there are working in tracking and studying nesting behaviors to help increase the population numbers around the world.

In the Costa Rica-The Expedition: Leatherback Sea Turtle Ecology program,

participants will expose participants to a full research experience. Data collected will be useful to maintain and improve the conservation efforts of this species all over the world. Participants will also gain ecological awareness based on marine and terrestrial problems, according to Estrella-Riollano.

“Study abroad programs have been found to be a good recruitment tool in higher education for students pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields,” Estrella said. “Several studies show that students participating in these untraditional classroom settings are affected, in term of im-

pact upon their intentions to act as global citizens.

“In summer, 2016 a group of seven, and in summer 2017, a group of four MSU students from different backgrounds experienced a study abroad opportunity that changed their life, the Leatherback Sea Turtle and Tropical Ecology in Costa Rica,” she continued. “This was a biology course based on active learning techniques where students learned about sea turtle biology, marine ecology, research methods, neotropical ecosystems, climate change, sustainability and Costa Rican culture.

After their participation, students expressed more aware-

Getting a Handle on Prescription Medications Dear Savvy Senior, I’m concerned that my 80-year-old mother is taking too many medications. She currently takes 10 different drugs prescribed by three different doctors, which I think is causing her some problems. She also struggles to keep up with all the drug costs. Any suggestions?

Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, There’s no doubt that older Americans are taking more prescription medications than ever before. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, around 40 percent of seniors, age 65 and older, take five or more medications. And the more drugs a person takes, the higher their risk for medication problems, and the more likely they are to take something they don’t need.

Brown Bag Review To help you get a better handle on the medications your mom is taking, gather up all her pill bottles – include all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements – and put them in a bag and take them to her primary doctor or pharmacist for a thorough drug checkup. This “brown-bag review’ will give you a chance to check for duplicate meds, excessive doses, and dangerous interactions, and for you to ask questions.

Medicare Part B covers free yearly medication reviews with a doctor through their annual wellness visits, and many Medicare Part D plans cover medication reviews with a pharmacist too.

You should also note that October 21, is “National Check Your Meds Day.” A number of pharmacies – Albertsons, Costco, CVS, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart and many independents – have agreed to support the effort. Some may even have extra staff on hand to help you review your meds. Ask your local pharmacy whether it is participating.

When you get your mom’s review, go over the basics for each medication or supplement, such as what it’s for, how long she should take it, what it costs, and any side effects and potential interactions. Also ask if there are any meds she can stop taking, and find out if there are any nondrug options that might be safer, and whether she can switch to a lower dose.

To help your mom avoid future medication problems, make sure her primary doctor is aware of all the medications, over-the-counter drugs and supplements she takes.

You should also keep an up-dated list of everything she takes and share it with every doctor she sees. And, be sure that your mom fills all her prescriptions at the same pharmacy and informs her pharmacist of any over-the counter, herbal or mail order prescriptions she’s taking so that there is complete oversight of her medications.

How To Save To help cut your mom’s medication costs, there are a number of cost savings tips you can try. For starters, find out if there are any generic alternatives to the drugs she currently takes. Switching to generics saves anywhere between 20 and 90 percent.

You should also ask your mom’s prescribing doctors if any of the pills she takes could be cut in half. Pill splitting allows you to get two months worth of medicine for the price of one. And for the drugs she takes long-term, ask for a three-month prescription, which is usually cheaper than buying month-to-month.

Because drug prices can vary depending on where you buy them, another way to save is by shopping around (GoodRX. com will help you compare drug prices at U.S. pharmacies), and find out if your mom’s drug insurance plan offers cheaper deals through preferred pharmacies or a mail-order service.

And finally, if your mom’s income is limited, she can probably get help through drug assistance programs offered through pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and charitable organizations. To find these types of programs use BenefitsCheckUp.org.

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.

Generosity helps improve care for heart patients at Mercy Patients at Mercy St. Francis Hospital are now benefitting from five new defibrillators, funded by volunteers and a handful of major donors in the community.

“This generosity helps us raise the bar on the quality of care at Mercy,” said Karen Simpson-Neasby, vice president of Mercy Health Foundation. “And it will certainly have an impact on heart patients for many years to come.”

Of the $98,000 raised to

pay for the five Zoll R-Series ALS Defibrillators, $56,000 comes from hardworking volunteers through Mercy St. Francis Auxiliary fundraising efforts. Other donors to the Sr. M. Cornelia Blasko Foundation / Mercy Health Foundation include Casey’s General Store, Landmark Bank, and other anonymous groups and individuals.

The defibrillators are now being used in the hospital’s emergency and op-

erating rooms, as well as cardiopulmonary and medical-surgical units. Through easy-to-use technology, the defibrillators improve recovery for heart attack patients and provide more features to providers to assess patients’ needs.

“We’re proud to be able to contribute to such a worthwhile project,” said Steve Vines, Landmark Bank regional president, last fall.

“Much like Landmark Bank, Mercy St. Francis Hospital

has been a cornerstone of the Mountain View community for many years, providing quality health care that’s normally not available to a community the size of ours.”

To make a donation to the Mercy Health Foundation for future projects, please call 417-533-6192.

Mercy Health Foundation, a non-profit organization, supports projects that provide health care scholarships, advanced technology and capital needs.

The decision to exercise is often defeated by our lifestyles.

To help the local community identify the benefits of exercise, Mercy St. Francis Hospital is hosting a free “brunch and learn” on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 9:30 a.m. Carol Schmidt,

administrative assistant and wellness coordinator at Mercy St. Francis Hospital, will discuss the pros and cons of exercise.

“What do people want from life? They want to be healthy and independent,” she said. “The key to having independence long into your

life is through your health.

Exercise goes a long way to making both health and independence happen.”

Schmidt recently attended a workshop in Bartlett, Tennessee and obtained certification in the Seated Tai Chi Form by Dr. Lam. She also received re-certification in

five other Tai Chi forms.

Light refreshments will be provided at the Oct. 25 event, which will be held in the Sister’s Dining Room across from the cafeteria, located at 100 W. U.S. Highway 60 in Mountain View, Missouri. No RSVP is needed.

The Ninth Annual Blue Jean Ball drew a crowd of more than 650 people and raised approximately $74,000 for programs and services that support the delivery of local health care through the Ozarks Medical Center Foundation. The evening of food, fun and entertainment was held Sept. 30 at Risner Stables in West Plains.

“We greatly appreciate the support the community has for the Blue Jean Ball,” said Melissa Smith, OMC Media Relations Specialist and Chair of the Blue Jean Ball Committee. “Thank you to all those who donated auction items, sponsored the event and, of course, to those who joined us for the evening. Special thanks to the Blue Jean Ball committee for their endless hours of work to make the event special.”

Committee members are: Ann Marie Newberry, Brenda Polyard, Brendan Byrne, Erin Gibbs, Joan Hanff,

Karen Yarbrough, Kelly Becker, Kristi Drummond, Pam Ream, Phyllis Kupfer, Regina Eades, and Robin Morgan.

MDC reminder: ‘Be Bear Aware’ by not feeding bears

MDC reminds people to “Be Bear Aware” by not feeding bears and providing potential sources of food. (Photo provided to the Standard)

As summer turns to fall, Missouri’s estimated 350 native black bears enter a phase called hyperphagiain which they eat heavily, accumulating a layer of fat that results in a 30 percent weight gain preparing them for hibernation. In preparation for hibernation, bears eat a wide variety of food including grasses and forbs, berries, ants, bees and wasps, beetles, crickets, fish, frogs, small rodents and other small animals. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds people to “Be Bear Aware” by not feeding bears and providing potential sources of food.

“A fed bear is a dead bear,” said MDC Wildlife Management Coordinator Alan Leary. “Feeding bears makes them comfortable around people and the places they associate with food from people, such as campsites, yards, and trash containers. When bears lose their fear of people by being fed, they may defend these food sources or territory. This can make them dangerous. When

this happens, the bear has to be destroyed.”

Leary added a fed bear that becomes a problem in one place cannot be relocated to another.

“Once a bear associates people with food, its life is ruined,” Leary said. “Even if it is relocated, it will go in search of other places to get food from people, such as homes, residential areas, farms, and campsites. Common temptations include pet food or trash left outdoors, dirty grills or smokers, birdseed or other food at wildlife feeders, food at campsites, and gardens and orchards.”

Avoid Attracting Black Bears MDC offers these tips to avoid attracting black bears to possible food sources: Don’t leave pet food sitting outside. Feed pets a portion they’ll eat at each meal and remove the empty containers.

Store garbage, recyclables, and compost inside a secure building or in a bear-proof container until the day of trash pick-up.

Keep grills and smokers clean and store them inside.

When camping be sure to keep cooking and cleaning areas separate from sleeping areas.

Only use birdfeeders in bear country (which is primarily south of the Missouri River) when bears are typically hibernating -- from early December through early March -- or hang them at least 10 feet high and four feet away from any structure.

Use electric fencing to keep bears away from beehives, chicken coops, vegetable gardens, orchards, and other potential food sources.

Keep campsites clean and store all food, toiletries and trash in a secure vehicle or strung high between two trees. Do not burn or bury garbage or food waste.

Report bear sightings by calling MDC at 573-5224115, ext. 3080 or online at http://bit.ly/2ya2lhe.

Avoid Encounters and React Right While close encounters with bears are uncommon in Missouri, MDC offers this advice when outdoors in black-bear country: Make noise while walking or hiking to prevent surprising a bear. Clap, sing, or talk loudly.

Travel in a group if possible.

Pay attention to the surroundings and watch for bear sign, such as tracks or claw or bite marks on trees.

Keep dogs leashed.

Leave a bear alone! Do not approach it. Make sure it has an escape route.

If encountering a bear up close, back away slowly with arms raised to look larger.

Speak in a calm, loud voice.

Peck Ranch CA closed intermittently for managed deer hunts, firearms deer season The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will close the refuge portion of Peck Ranch Conservation Area (CA) intermittently to facilitate managed deer hunts Oct. 14-15, Oct. 21-23, and Dec. 9-10. The area will also close during the firearms portion of deer season, Nov. 11-21. The elk viewing driving tour, scouting and all other public activities will pause during those dates.

Peck Ranch Conservation Area is in northwest Carter County and eastern Shannon County, north of Fremont.

The area consists of 23,762

acres of rugged, forested hills and hollows. Deer hunting within the Refuge (interior)is permitted by applying for a managed deer hunting permit through the managed hunt drawing system. Application information is available at most MDC offices and at www.mdc.mo.gov.

Youth, archery and muzzleloader managed hunts may occur in combination with other deer hunting regulations. Hunting outside the refuge is permitted under statewide regulations and seasons.

Peck Ranch CA facilities

and features include primitive camping, picnic areas, a firearms range, a viewing deck, two deer or turkey blinds, one intermittent stream, and four Natural Areas (Grassy Pond, Goldenseal, Stegall Mountain and Mule Hollow). Peck Ranch CA is five miles east of Winona on Route H, then seven miles east on gravel in Shannon County.

For more information about Peck Ranch CA, the Elk Viewing Tour or to check availability of the refuge, go online to www.mdc. mo.gov.

MoDOT cautions motorists to watch out for slow moving vehicles It’s harvest time on Missouri farms and the Missouri Department of Transportation wants to remind motorists to pay extra attention to farm equipment using and crossing state roadways.

“Harvest season is a busy time of the year for Missouri’s farm families, and MoDOT wants to make it a safe time of year too,” said MoDOT Highway Safety and Traffic Engineer Nicole Hood. “Farm equipment vehicles can be slow moving, and motorists

may be surprised when they come up behind one on a Missouri highway.”

Missouri’s 34,000 miles of state roadways pass alongside the fields of thousands of farms throughout the state.

Farm equipment vehicles were involved in 582 crashes in the three years of 2014 through 2016. These crashes resulted in 17 people being killed and 199 injured.

“Contrary to what some may believe, these crashes do

not just occur on county roadways,” Hood said. “While the majority of these crashes occurred on letter routes and county roads, some crashes also occurred on interstates and other high-speed roadways.”

Motorists are advised to slow down when approaching farm vehicles. Be patient as the farm vehicles travel to their field entrances. In passing zones, please wait until it is safe and pass at a safe distance and speed.

Do not turn away from the bear. Back away slowly. Do not run.

Report bear sightings by calling MDC at 573-5224115, ext. 3080 or online at http://bit.ly/2ya2lhe.

When Hunting and Fishing MDC offers this advice when hunting or fishing in bear country: Process or remove fish and game as quickly as possible, and alert others that there is game residue in the area.

Keep a clean camp and store attractants where bears

can’t access them.

Stay alert and aware of your surroundings while hunting or fishing.

Report bear sightings by calling MDC at 573-5224115, ext. 3080 or online at http://bit.ly/2ya2lhe.

A native of Missouri, black bears were abundant throughout the state until the late 1800s when they were nearly wiped out from unregulated killing and from habitat loss when Ozark forests were logged. MDC research shows that a small number of native black bears survived

and others from Arkansas moved north into Missouri. Over time, their numbers increased and continue to do so. Results of ongoing black-bear research by MDC staff and others show that the animals have been sighted in about half the counties in Missouri, primarily south of the Missouri River, with most bears located in the southern third of the state in the Missouri Ozarks.

Sinking Creek bridge to Highway 19. As part of this project, the entrance road into Sinking Creek access will be modified to connect to the new highway alignment. The old road leading onto the temporary bridge over Sinking Creek will also be removed at this time. The Missouri Department of Transportation will install temporary signal lights to manage one lane of traffic around the work zone.

The Sinking Creek bridge and

river access are located near Round Spring, approximately 15 miles north of Eminence on Highway 19. The Sinking Creek campground will only be closed for as long as necessary to complete the project and will be reopened as soon as the road construction is complete.
