Liberty unstoppable in 69-31 barn-burner over Cuba

by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com

It wasn’t a shootout. It was shock and awe. The Liberty Eagles hosted the Cuba Wildcats in the first round of Districts last Friday night, and the two teams combined for 1,000 yards of offense, 15 touchdowns, and 100 points as the Eagles made big plays on offense, and on defense managed to slow down Cuba’s senior quarterback Levi Mitchell just enough to rout the Wildcats 6931 at home. The victory sends Liberty to the second round of Districts, which means a game at Ava to take on the 10-0 Bears.

If the Eagles needed a shot of confidence, however, Friday might have done it. Liberty’s stats were insane. By halftime, the Eagles had 433 yards of offense. Koel Orchard had already rushed for 193 yards on just nine carries, an average of

Season ends for Lady Eagles

21 yards per rush. He finished with 227 yards on fifteen carries. Jaris Acklin had another great night, completing 18 of 26 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns. In the first half, the Eagles scored a touchdown every time they had the ball.

“I like the way we executed on offense,” said Liberty Head Coach Darin Acklin on Monday, “I feel like the passing game has steadily progressed throughout the year.” Friday night certainly showed that to be true. Jaris Acklin’s favorite targets included Colten Foster who ended the night with five catches for 111 yards, and Orchard who also pulled down six catches for 82 yards giving him 306 total for the night. Acklin hit five different receivers overall as the Liberty offense was balanced and efficient.

Liberty and Cuba combined for a total of 74 passes attempts on Friday night as the Wildcats had a powerful offense of their own led by quarterback Levi Mitchell. The Cuba senior completed 22 of 48 passes for 270 yards. His top targets were Gavin Sparks with eight catches for 86 yards, and Jared Priest who piled up 185 yards on nine catches. Cuba totaled 349 yards of offense in the first half, but the Eagles were even better, and led 55-25 at halftime.

In the second half, with a little help from some rain showers

and the mercy clock, Liberty was able to hold the Wildcats to just 87 yards, and put the game away.

The victory improved Liberty’s season record to 5-5, and sent the Eagles into the second round of Districts against the Ava Bears. The Eagles defense will likely need a better game against the SCA Champs, if Liberty hopes to keep the season alive.

“Ava will bring many challenges,” explained Coach Acklin, “Their fullback is a handful and had big plays against us the last time we played. Their quarterback also creates problems in the option game and with time is a very accurate passer. But are biggest concern is dealing with their size and physicality. They whipped us upfront and both sides of the ball in the first meeting this year. They are big, strong, and quick upfront on the DL and OL, so we have a heavy task in front of us.”

The winner this Friday will advance to play the winner of Mountain Grove and Strafford. The Panthers dispatched Willow Springs 38-0 Friday night, and the Strafford Indians escaped from the Houston Bears by one touchdown 38-27 at Stafford. Should Liberty win this week, the Eagles will play either at Mountain Grove or at Strafford on the road.

Either way will be tough, but

on Friday, the Eagles looked like the scariest fourth-seed in the State of Missouri. The game started with a Cuba drive that reached the Eagles 20-yard line before the Eagles defense tightened up and forced four straight incomplete passes.

Liberty took over the ball and picked up a first down with a five-yard gain from Orchard followed by a six-yard run from Ethan Smith. Acklin aired it out to Jared Holden who caught the 20-yard pass with one hand to put the ball at midfield. Two plays later Acklin passed for another first-down,

hitting Coltin Weldon on an eight-yard pass. Ethan Smith took the ball two plays after that and was gone for a 38-yard touchdown. Liberty had a 7-0 lead.

The Wildcats then did the worst thing possible. They handed the ball back to Liberty with two turnovers. The first came on the ensuing kickoff as the Wildcats failed to recover the pooch kick and the Eagles fell on it. A 26-yard run by Orchard, followed by a pass to Foster gave the Eagles a firstdown at the Wildcat five-yard line. Ethan Smith punched it in

three plays later and the Eagles had a 14-0 lead.

When Cuba got the ball back, the Eagles defense forced a three-and-out, and the special teams blocked the Wildcat’s punt. Taking over at the Cuba 11-yard line, Liberty need just one play, giving the ball to Orchard for the touchdown. It was 21-0 Eagles with time still left in the first quarter.

Cuba finally held onto the ball for an entire possession, and put together an impressive drive of their own, marching almost 70-yards, finishing with a 14-yard touchdown pass. That cut the lead to 21-7 in favor of the Eagles, but Liberty wasted no time in responding.

Starting at their own 20-yard line, Liberty handed the ball to Orchard on second and nine, and the Liberty senior, do-everything player was off to the races for a 79-yard touchdown.

The Eagles kickoff pinned Cuba deep at their own eightyard line, but on a night when the offenses were rolling, it didn’t matter. After the firstdown play went backwards one yard. Mitchell threw a pass on second down to Priest who turned it into an 88-yard touchRounding the Corner! Ethan Smith (25) breaks to the outside down. It was 27-13 as the first

against the Cuba Wildcats during Liberty’s 69-31 victory last Fri-

The volleyball team was upset by Cabool in three sets during the District Tournament Semi’s held in Cabool on Tuesday, October 17.

“Overall we had a competitive and successful year finishing as the SCA Champs at 23-10,” stated Head Coach Shari Tune. “We came a long way from the beginning of the year and it will really benefit us next year.”

During the season Senior Makayla Irvin tied and then broke the game high kill record. Junior Trinity Clark broke the game high dig record 3 times. Irvin and Ally Smith earned All District 1st team, Breaking Free! Colten Foster (4) was off to the races Friday followed by Clark and Caitlyn night. Foster caught 5 passes for 111 yards as the Eagles scored every time they had the ball in the first half, and put the game away Basham on 2nd team.

FEMA funds disaster care management program Mi ssourians with disaste r-related unmet needs no w can access disaster case management services.

Th e services are available ev en if applicants already re ceived state and federal disaster assistance.

The state of Missouri has re ceived a grant of more th an $2.2 million to help th e long-term recovery of individuals and famili es affected by the severe st orms, and flooding that struck the state this spring, according to federal recovery officials.

Th e Disaster Case Manag ement (DCM) program gr ant is fully funded by th e Federal Emergency Ma nagement Agency and will be administered by the Mi ssouri State Emergency

M anagement Agency and managed by Lutheran Family and Children’s Services of Missouri. Disaster Case management is a time-limited process that involves a partnership between a case manager and a disaster survivor to develop and carry o ut a Disaster Recovery Plan.

T he Disaster Recovery P lan includes resources, s ervices, decision-maki ng priorities, progress reports, and the goals needed t o achieve case closure.

T his partnership provides t he survivor with a single p oint of contact to facilitate access to a broad range o f resources. The process i nvolves an assessment of t he survivor’s verified disaster-caused unmet needs,

At the helm of each state department is a director. The director is appointed by the governor and then the appointment is confirmed by the Missouri Senate. Since he was elected i n November, the governor has been hand-picking profess ionals from across the country to help reform, strengthen a nd restructure state government. He did not use political favors. Our governor should be applauded for picking quality professionals, with years of experience, to lead these departments.

C arol S. Comer was named the director of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in January. The Missouri Senate confirmed her nomination on Feb. 9, 2017. She previously served as commissioner of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management under former governor and current Vice-President Mike Pence. Comer began her career in private practice with nearly a decade of experience representing companies on environmental and utility matters.

Anne Precythe was named the director of the Department of Corrections in December 2016. The Missouri Senate confirmed her nomination on Feb. 9, 2017, when she became the seventh director and only the second woman to lead the department. She has been a corrections professional for nearly 30 years. She previously served as the director of community corrections in the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.

Chris Chinn, a fifth generation Missouri farmer from Clarence, was named director of the Missouri Department of Agriculture in January. The Missouri Senate confirmed her nomination on Feb. 9, 2017. Mrs. Chinn has held leadership positions in agriculture at the local, state and national levels for more than a decade. She is a member of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA), which represents the departments of agriculture in all 50 states. She is a member of the Missouri State Fair Commission, Missouri Wine & Grape Board, Missouri Development Finance Board and Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Development Authority Board of Directors.

On April 1, Joel Walters was appointed as the director of the Missouri Department of Revenue. Prior to his appointment, he worked as a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

During his time there, he led the company’s practice of assisting foreign business looking to invest in U.S. companies.

He spent 16 years in private practice as well as 20 years in senior corporate finance positions at major companies, helping them understand complicated tax structures and grow their businesses while still creating jobs.

Next week, I will introduce you to the newly appointed director of Health and Senior Services, Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration and the director of the Department of Public Safety.

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.

development of a goal-oriented plan that outlines the s teps necessary to achieve recovery, organization and c oordination of information on available resources t hat match the disastercaused need, and the moni toring of progress toward reaching the recovery plan goals, and when necessary, client advocacy.

“Case management is i ntegral to helping surviv ors achieve self-suffic iency by addressing their u nmet needs,” Federal Coordinating Officer Cons tance Johnson-Cage said.

“This is another step in the r ecovery process. We recognize that people are still r ebuilding their lives and this program is designed to

link people who have unmet needs with organizations that may be able to help them.”

A t the request of the s tate, the program is ope rating in 45 counties a nd offering case mana gement services for up t o 24 months from the J une 2 disaster declarat ion. Services are available to any survivor with d isaster-caused unmet needs.

M issourians who have u nmet needs are encoura ged to call United Way 2 -1-1 by dialing 2-1-1 o r (800) 427-4626 for i nformation on services a vailable in the area and referrals to case management services.

Tax credits available through OzSBI Th e Ozarks Small Busine ss Incubator (OzSBI) has be en awarded $90,000 in 50% tax credits by the Misso uri Department of Econo mic Development. Any in dividual or business with a Missouri tax liability is el igible to receive the 2017 ta x credits by making a donation to OzSBI. Tax credits di rectly reduce the donor’s st ate taxes by 50% of the donated amount, which is in addition to the standard state and federal charitable tax deductions.

He ather Fisher OzSBI’s Ex ecutive Director added “tax credits enable donors to make a contribution to OzSBI at a significantly reduced out-of-pocket cost, while investing in entrepreneurs who are growing our local economy.” These credits allow you to redirect your tax dollars to a local nonprofit. Kevin and Kelly Gleghorn haven taken ad vantage of the tax credit program. Kevin commented, “What I like about this progr am is that my tax dollars stay here, are invested here, an d are managed by a local bo ard of directors. I would much rather give my tax dollars to OzSBI than to Uncle Sa m, with OzSBI I know th ey will have an impact in

our area.” Kevin added that be tween the tax credits and ta x deduction received, the program practically pays for itself.

Fu nds raised through tax credits enables OzSBI to expand its business incubation se rvices offering business wo rkshops and professional development seminars in ne ighboring communities, ex pand our Manufacturin g Outreach program, host Startup Weekends, and cultivate a tech business hub.

Th is year donors will get an extra bang for their buck.

They may combine a donation fo r tax credits with a namin g opportunity. The second floor has offices and common s paces available for naming for donations of $5,000 up to $12,500. This is a wonderful w ay to honor an organizat ion or memorialize a family m ember. A plaque will be p ermanently installed next to t he designated space, leaving a lasting legacy in the business community for years to come.

I nterested readers should c ontact Heather Fisher at 2 56-9724 or heatherfisher@ o zsbi.com to take advantage of the tax credits. All donations must be received by December 31st to qualify for tax credits.

Stalled in the Senate

It’s always great to be back home and spend time with folks in our area. This week, I’ve had the opportunity to travel to more than half of the counties in Missouri’s 8th Congressional District, and have met with everyone from parents, teachers and students, to doctors, farmers, local small business owners and community leaders.

During my travels this week, the folks I visited with consistently told me they were frustrated with Washington.

“Why is Congress failing to act on President Trump’s agenda?” The truth is, I join you in your frustration.

As a matter of fact, since January, the House of Representatives has passed 362 bills which is almost 100 more than the average under the last four Presidential Administrations. We have passed legislation that will reduce regulations, bring back healthcare choice and competition, cut spending, increase local control and ensure America’s energy-independence. Plus, let’s not forget that the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Obamacare repeal and replace legislation President Trump asked for and sent it to the Senate months ago. We are delivering for our President and the American people. But the Senate has yet to do the same.

Obstructionists in the Senate need to realize that our President isn’t going to put up with business as usual in Washington – he expects results. Sadly, Senate Obstructionists aren’t just left-wing liberals. They are “Republicans” who have never supported our President and find it more politically beneficial to obstruct than to deliver results for the American people.

Because of the Senate slow-down, President Trump has only had the chance to sign 64 bills into law. He is ready to take action on much, much more. Of the 362 bills we have passed, 286 are now stuck in the Senate. President Trump is also struggling with a Senate slow-down on confirming people who have been nominated to serve in his Administration. At the same time during Obama’s first year in office, the Senate had confirmed 359 of his nominees. Unfortunately for President Trump, the Senate has only acted to confirm 172 of his nominees. I agree with President Trump – the Senate should change the rules and allow a simple majority to get things done.

In fact, just last week, President Trump got tired of waiting on the Senate and took action to advance healthcare policies I’ve pushed for and passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. His Presidential actions are creating more choices and more competition - ending unconstitutional bailouts for insurance companies, allowing folks to buy insurance across state lines and band together with other hardworking Missourians to bring down the cost of care for their families.

This week, President Trump met with several Senators and urged them to come together for a “once-in-alifetime” opportunity to fix the U.S. Tax Code and give Americans a long overdue pay raise saying, “We’re going to restore America’s competitive edge, rebuild America’s middle class, and renew the promise of the American Dream.”

It’s time for the Senate to do their job. We have got to get legislation moving again in Washington and deliver real results for folks back home. Sleeping on the floor of my office in D.C. can get old, but I’m ready to get back and keep fighting for the people in southeast and south central Missouri as Congress works to deliver on President Trump’s legislative agenda.

Eagles

quarter ended, but the half was far from over.

After converting a fourth down at mid-field, the Eagles, with help from a 10-yard run from Orchard, a 13-yard run from Tanner Marshall, moved the ball to the Cuba eight-yard line. Orchard crossed the goal line two plays later for a 34-13 lead.

Here came the Wildcats again. Starting at their 33-yard line, Cuba put together an eight-play drive, including a 24-yard pass to Terry Copling.

Cuba scored on a seven-yard run to stay in the ball game trailing Liberty 34-19.

The Eagles needed only four plays to score when the ball was back in their hands, however. This time Acklin finished it off with a 40-yard touchdown strike to Foster and a 41-19 lead.

Despite giving up another long, 65-yard, 10-play scoring drive to Cuba which included a 48-yard pass to Priest, the Eagles kept returning punches.

This time Orchard escaped for a 69-yard touchdown and a 4825 Liberty advantage.

The Eagles defense finally found an answer to Cuba and

From Page One

stopped the Wildcats on fourth down when Marshall sacked Mitchell for a 14-yard loss.

Only 11 seconds remained in the half, but with 54-yards between the Eagles and the end zone, it was all they needed.

A 34-yard pass from Acklin to Ethan Smith put the ball at the 19-yard line with three seconds left. A Hook and Ladder play to Orchard got the touchdown.

It was 55-25 Liberty at the half way point.

Things cooled in the second half, as Liberty’s first two offensive drives went threeand-out, and the Wildcats put together yet another long touchdown drive. But an interception by Coltin Weldon was followed by a 45-yard pass to Foster who broke tackles all the way to the end-zone.

Liberty got one more easy score following another punt block that was recovered by Andrew Holden. Orchard scored three plays later from the one yard line. That made it 69-31 Liberty, and the Mercy Clock finished the game quickly.

Next up is the toughest challenge of the year, but the Eagles look ready.

MV-BT School District Board of Education meets The Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III School District Board of Education met on Thursday, October 12, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the Mtn. View Elementary.

Due to the flooding earlier this year the track is in need of repair. "The track has

to be resurfaced," stated Dr. Christensen. Currently the district is waiting on a company to come out and re-coat the track.

During the meeting the board approved payment to individuals related to board members.

Those individuals/payments included: A payment to Lanna Tharp in the amount of $509.58 for travel reimbursement (Keith Tharp abstained); and a payment to Godfather's Pizza in the amount of $28.71 and to Bailey's Construction in the amount of $2,975 for the cafeteria floor at the Mtn. View Elementary (Steve Vines abstained).

In other open session items, the board heard the September 2017 financial report with a balance in all funds of $4,009,148.26; the 2016-2017 ASBR was presented and approved and the 2017-2018 Career Ladder Plan was approved.

In closed session the board accepted the resignations of David Collins, PT driver; Jodie Wilbanks, MV-BT Library Aide and Shauna Pitts, HS/ MS Library Aide. The board approved to add Raymond Thomas to the substitute list and to employ Brenda Pall as PT Driver.

Flu Shots for Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the flu shots made for seniors? I got sick last winter after getting a standard flu shot, and am wandering if the flu vaccine for older adults would provide me better protection this year.

Almost 70 Dear Almost, There are actually two different flu shots – the Fluzone High Dose and FLUAD – that are designed specifically for people age 65 and older (you only need to get one of them).

These FDA approved vaccines are designed to offer extra protection beyond what a standard flu shot provides, which is important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and have a great risk of developing dangerous flu complications.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that the flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills, on average, about 24,000 – 80 percent of whom are seniors.

You also need to be aware that these senior-specific flu shots cannot guarantee that you won’t get the flu this season, but they will lower your risk. And if you do happen to get sick, you probably won’t get as sick as you would without it. Here’s more information on the two vaccines: Fluzone High-Dose: Approved for U.S. use in 2009, the Fluzone High-Dose (see Fluzone.com) is a high-potency vaccine that contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection.

This vaccine, according to a 2013 clinical trial, was 24 percent more effective than the regular-dose shot at preventing flu in seniors.

FLUAD: Available in the U.S. since last year, the FLUAD vaccine (FLUAD.com) contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response. In a 2012 Canadian observational study, FLUAD was 63 percent more effective than a regular flu shot.

The CDC, however, does not recommend one vaccination over the other, and to date, there have been no studies comparing the two vaccines.

You should also know that both the Fluzone High-Dose and FLUAD can cause more of the mild side effects that can occur with a standard-dose flu shot, like pain or tenderness where you got the shot, muscle aches, headache or fatigue. And neither vaccine is recommended for seniors who are allergic to chicken eggs, or those who have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past.

Both vaccines are also covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B, as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays.

Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especially this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitalized with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it.

The CDC is now recommending that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations –Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at different times, work in different ways to provide maximum protection.

If you haven’t yet received any pneumococcal vaccine you should get the Prevnar 13 first, followed by Pneumovax 23 six to 12 months later. But if you’ve already been vaccinated with Pneumovax 23, wait at least one year before getting the Prevnar 13.

Medicare Part B covers both shots, if they are taken at least one year apart.

To locate a vaccination site that offers any of these shots, visit Vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code.

Blood drive to be held in Mtn. View November 3

Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) is the sole local provider of blood for patients at 40 area hospitals in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas and southeast Kansas. Sick and injured hospital patients depend on CBCO donors to provide the lifesaving blood they need.

All blood types are currently at adequate levels Current reserves include at least a three-day supply of blood for area patients and emergent situations. Since it takes hundreds of donations per day to meet area patient needs, reserve levels can and often do fluctuate throughout the week. Blood donors are encouraged to give soon at a CBCO blood drive or donor center.

You can help by giving blood at the Mountain View Community Center, located at 125 West 1st Street on Friday, November 3 from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Each donation will be awarded LifePoints as a part of CBCO’s donor rewards program. LifePoints may be redeemed online for a variety of gift cards, or points may be assigned to other meaningful causes or charities. More information on the LifePoints donor rewards program may be found at www.cbco.org.

To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID. For more information about sharing your good health with others, please visit our website at www.cbco.org, or call toll-free 1-800280-5337.

OMC adds ninth clinic with Chronic Care Management By: Stacy Tintocalis Freelance Writer Recently, Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) rolled out Chronic Care Management (CCM) in OMC Urgent Care Clinic. OMC currently has CCM in eight other clinics: OMC Alton, OMC Gainesville, OMC Mammoth Springs, OMC Mountain Grove, OMC Mountain View, OMC Thayer, OMC Winona, and OMC Internal Medicine in West Plains.

Chronic Care Management is a form of telephone-based case management for patients who have two or more chronic conditions. CCM provides education to help patients be better self-managers and establishes a comprehensive care plan that is monitored, revised, and implemented in a threeway partnership between the physician (or nurse practitioner), nurse, and patient.

Once in the CCM program, the patient’s doctor devises a care plan for one year, and the CCM nurse coordinator contacts the patient at a minimum of monthly, but sometimes weekly, depending on need. They also see the patient at doctor’s visits about every 8 to 12 weeks.

CCM nurses get to know their patients and use phone conferences to focus on the preventative services that CCM nurses offer such as relaxation techniques; label reading; better sleep habits; exercises for flexibility, strength and balance; and diabetes plate method. In January, OMC’s CCM nurses will also train to be diabetes self-management educators.

According to Heather Hill, OMC Clinic Program Coordinator, CCM nurses are responsible for scheduling annual wellness visits and other preventative tests covered by Medicare. They can

OMC Winona recently reached 200 patients enrolled in their Chronic Care Management Program. Staff at OMC Winona include, Front Row: Aimee Hilt, Clinic Director; Ashley VanWinkle, LPNII; Back Row: Heather Hill, Clinics Program Coordinator; Barbara Honeycutt, LPN II; Dr. Diane Koenig; Windy Horton, LPNII-Chronic Care Management Nurse; Angie Smith, EVS; and Susan Lindsey, Clinic Supervisor.

arrange transportation, perform thorough medication checks, and enroll patients in programs, such as, Meals on Wheels. “This is all in addition to monitoring the patients’ A1C, weight, or blood pressure, or other measures depending on the condition,” Hill said. “The program is allowing us to provide extra support to our patients, for example, when a patient is too ill to prepare food, the CCM nurse coordinator can make sure meals are delivered to the patient.” CCM nurses are easily accessible to the patients and are the liaisons to the health care providers regarding any medical related condition the patients may experience.

Patients with two or more

chronic conditions may be eligible for CCM. According to Medicare, chronic means the patient will live with the condition for greater than 12 months. Individuals with the following chronic conditions may be eligible for CCM: • Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia • Arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid) • Asthma • Autism Spectrum Disorders • Cancer • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) • Congestive Heart Failure • Depression • Diabetes • Heart Failure • Hypertension • Ischemic Heart Disease

• Obesity • Osteoporosis CCM is not limited to these conditions. A patient’s physician will decide what is or is not chronic.

Each CCM nurse can manage up to 200 patients on the program. Currently, OMC Gainesville, OMC Internal Medicine, OMC Mammoth Springs, and OMC Winona have successfully enrolled 200 patients each. Spaces are available in other OMC clinics.

Medicare and Medicare Advantage cover the majority of the cost of the program so the patients have little or no outof-pocket expense. For more information on Chronic Care Management, call Heather Hill at 417-257-5889.

Participants sought for EMT-Basic Class Texas County Memorial Hospital is seeking participants for an emergency medical technician basic (EMT) program to be held at the hospital.

Twelve individuals would meet twice weekly in the evening for 16 weeks to complete the course. The cost of the program is $600 which covers educational materials for the program.

Ozark Riverways to host Clinton House Reunion on Oct. 28 Ozark National Scenic Riverways will host a special reunion at the historic Chilton House on Saturday, October 28, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. During this time the Chilton House along with the nearby Williams-Lesh House will be open for visitation. Park Rangers will be available to answer questions and give a historical overview of both historic home sites. A shuttle will be provided from the Williams-Lesh House to the Chilton House due to limited parking at the Chilton homestead. All relatives of

former owners along with the general public are invited to attend this free event.

Please bring a sack lunch, bag chair, family memorabilia and stories to tell. Come join us for a wonderful fall day at one of the oldest historic structures within Ozark National Scenic Riverways.

The Chilton House, located near Owls Bend on the Current River, was built between 1869 and 1880 by Marion Francis “Frank” Chilton, the youngest son of Shannon County pioneer Thomas Boggs Chilton, who settled in the Current River

valley in 1816. Frank Chilton received a land grant for 189 acres in 1859, on which he established his farm along the west bank of the Current River. The Chilton House is one of the oldest structures in Shannon County. The neighboring Williams-Lesh House was built in 1910. The former Owls Bend Post Office, established in the 1923, sits directly south of the Chilton House. Clint Williams Spring is only a short hike from the home. Several local families resided on the farm from the mid-1800s

until 1967, including Chilton, Williams, Knuckles, Baltz and Lesh families Watch for event signs along State Highway 106 in the Powder Mill area approximately 13 miles east of Eminence.

Ozark National Scenic Riverways will be conducting a managed deer hunt for Wounded Warriors the first weekend of November at Big Spring. Portions of the Big Spring area will be temporarily closed to the public from

Friday, November 3, until the morning of Monday, November 6, to help ensure public safety during the activity.

This includes Peavine Road, the Peavine pavilion area, the Big Spring hiking trails, and the Chubb Hollow area. Due

to the flood that occurred in April, the Big Spring campground has been and will remain closed. Big Spring, the Big Spring pavilion area, and the boat ramp will remain open during the hunt and can be accessed from State

Highway 103. All areas will reopen the morning of November 6.

The Siloam Springs Project is being proposed by Mark Twain National Forest to fight oak decline and other forest health issues.

The project area is located approximately six miles northwest of West Plains, Missouri on the Willow Springs Unit of the Mark Twain National Forest (MTNF) within Douglas and Howell Counties. Notable drought events, late frosts, ice storms, and outbreaks of spring defoliators have stressed trees in the area in recent years. Older, suppressed, and otherwise weakened trees have become susceptible to additional problems such as root rot, insects, and fungus The combination of stress factors has contributed to the decline of trees that may have otherwise withstood one stress at a time.

In 2012, a National Forest Insect and Disease Risk Assessment was completed and it identified the watersheds in the southern portion of the project area as being at risk primarily for oak decline. Much of the forest in the area originated with the abandonment of the agricultural practices and rural development of

the early 1900’s. Consequently, the black oaks that sprouted up from the open spaces around 80 years ago are nearing biological maturity at the same time.

This project is needed to address decline in forest health, to maintain the non-declining stands, and to promote tree-speciesand age-diversity needed to support a healthy natural community. A combination of commercial harvest, non-commercial treatments, and prescribed fire would be used to move the area toward the desired condition.

The Ava/Cassville/Willow Springs Ranger District of the Mark Twain National Forest is seeking your comments on project alternatives and analysis.

The District Ranger is considering public comments on this project before completing the Environmental Assessment and issuing a Draft Decision Notice for review. As the Responsible Official for this project, he is using the discretion given him by 36 CFR 218.24(a) (2) in determining that this is the most effective time to provide notice of the opportunity to comment under 36 CFR 218.22.

Anyone interested in the proposed actions for this project are encouraged to read more about it by reviewing the Environmental Assessment (EA) online at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/ mtnf/siloam. We would like your input on our proposal at this time. If you have any questions about the current proposal, contact Beth Hardman by telephone at (417) 967-4194 or by email at bhardman@fs.fed. us. Copies of the comment package are available at the Ava/Cassville/Willow Springs District Office located at 1103 South Jefferson, Ava, Missouri between the hours of 8 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. on weekdays or by calling the office at (417) 683-4428.

Public involvement is an integral part of the EA process. Comments received during this comment period can be used to enhance project analysis and decision making. Anyone who provides a response or otherwise expresses interest in this project during the comment period will be included in the mailing notification of the Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact. A Decision Notice is expected to be signed this winter.

Comments on this proposal will be accepted for 30 calendar days following the publication of this notice in the Springfield News-Leader. If the 30th day falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the comment period ends the next business day. The publication date in this newspaper of record is the exclusive means for calculating

4-16-14-tfn-acct dropping down to the Football Ch ampionship Subdivision ne xt year, and this was not a particularly competitive game.

Beating Idaho at home doesn’t change the narrative of the season.

But Missouri needed a win, and got one. It was a pleasant Oc tober afternoon at Faurot Fi eld, and Tiger fans got to see their squad put on a show.

Lock threw for 467 yards and six touchdowns. J’Mon Moore ha d 11 catches for 174 yards an d a touchdown. The Tiger defense notched five sacks, including two by Terry Beckner, Jr. While this win alone won’t ch ange the narrative, it could be paired with other success to show signs of progress unde r second-year coach Barry Od om. Missouri is in a patch of the schedule where they ca n make some hay, and the No vember portion has games ag ainst teams with coaches currently on the hot seat.

Fi rst comes Saturday’s trip to play at Connecticut (5:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Network).

UC onn (3-4) is coming off ba ck-to-back victories over Temple and Tulsa.

Th e Huskies should test Missouri’s pass defense. UConn ranks 19th in the nation in pass yards per game, but 102nd in rush yards. The last meeting was a 9-6 eyesore won by Missouri in 2015, but there should be a lot more points here.

Missouri has lost 11 straight road games, but the Tigers have a great chance to win this one.

Missouri needs to do someth ing in its four November games against SEC foes. First is a home game with Florida, wh ich can’t seem to solve its st ruggles on offense. Then co mes another home game ag ainst Tennessee, which mi ght fire coach Butch Jones at any point. The Tigers then wrap up the season with road ga mes at Vanderbilt, which has yet to win an SEC game, and Arkansas, which is having a tough season of its own. All th ose games present opportunities, if you want to feel some optimism.

Of course, if you want a dose of reality, the SEC East has be en full of opportunities in recent years and the Tigers haven’t cashed in. Odom is 6-13 at Missouri, including 2-10 in SEC play, so I’ll tap the breaks on charting a path to bowl eligibility.

Fi rst things first, Missouri needs to back up its Idaho win with a win in Connecticut.
