HCHD Flu vaccination clinics With the beginning of flu season just around the corner, it is time to start considering the preventive measures you can take to reduce your risk of getting the flu. Flu is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and even death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that getting a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting us from the flu virus. The Howell County Health Department has been gearing up for this flu season and will be offering flu shots to the public in October. The flu is spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people who are already infected with the influenza virus. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Adults may be able to infect others beginning one day before they start showing symptoms, until 5 days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as, while you are sick. See Flu on Page 7

made, City joins power pool, won’t Arrest out-of-state see savings until May of 2018 warrant The City of Mtn. View is now working with the Mid-Missouri Municipal Power Energy Pool (MMMPEP). City council adopted several ordinances on Monday, September 12 allowing them to join the power pool. The MMMPEP is a group of cities in south-central Missouri organized to collectively purchase power at wholesale costs to benefit their municipal utility operations. The decision is expected to improve the City’s wholesale power bill.
“Welcoming Mountain View to our power pool strengthens regional economic partnerships and benefits all the cities in the group,” said Larry Sutton, MMMPEP chair and city administrator of the City of Houston. “Going forward, MMMPEP expects power costs to remain stable, and may possibly even bring lower costs, with the new contract we’ve entered into.” Mountain View joined the MMMPEP group and the Missouri Joint Municipal
Electric Utility Commission (MJMEUC) in order to take advantage of more affordable wholesale power costs than the city’s existing provider. They will begin receiving wholesale power through the MMMPEP pool in 2018. This coincides with a 10-year purchase power contract for wholesale power supply awarded to MJMEUC when the MMMPEP group’s current competitively-bid, 5-year MJMEUC contract ends. “I see this as a step in the
right direction for the City of Mtn. View,” stated City Administrator Mike Wake. “Right now there are only two towns in the area that Sho-Me Power supplies power to, us and Winona.” So what does joining the MMMPEP group mean for Mtn. View. The contract does not take affect until May of 2018. This means that the city is subject to any increase Sho-Me Power passes down until that time. See Electric on Page 7

Youth center celebrates 20 years by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com
For generations the Mtn. View Family Youth Center has served as the communities recreational hang out. This year, the youth center celebrates it's 20th anniversary. Groundbreaking for the youth center was held in 1996 as the Smith family donated the land and began construction on the facility. On December 26, 1997 the MVFYC opened it's doors to the first skaters. As described in an article from the Mtn. View Standard News (January 7, 1998) "Early arrivals put on their in-line skates and zoomed back and forth, stopping every few minutes to ask, 'is it time yet?' Meanwhile, others who didn't have in-line skates crowded to the counter to rent a pair of the new skates. At the stroke of 6:30, Director Paul Larino admitted young Lauren McCann of Evant, Texas, the first of the many skaters who began rolling into the gym. Lauren was in Mtn. View to visit her grandparents, Connie and Leon Proter." Local businessman Kent Smith reflected on the inspiration for his mother and father, Ruth and the late Van Smith, to build the youth center. "My father wanted to create a place where kids could gather to have some fun and not be on the street. A place that was inexpensive because this area is very poor. The kids could come
HOWELL CO. Anniversary - The Mtn. View Family Youth Center has been a safe place for children to come and play for over twenty years.

in for a few bucks and skate and play with their friends in a safe place." The youth center was and is still driven by volunteer effort. "A big part of the construction of the youth center was provided by volunteers," Smith stated. "Volunteers donated their time and supplies to construct the center. Volunteers were recruited to run the center to keep costs low. The hope was that besides youth activities, other events could be held in the facility to create some operating funds to pay for utilities and other maintenance costs." Throughout the years the youth center has hosted weddings, family reunions, church gatherings, line dance classes, Zumba classes along with numerous birthday and See MVFYC on Page 7

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man on a Idaho warrant for felony lewd Christopher conduct with a Armbrust minor. According to reports on Thursday, September 22 the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received a call from Kootenai County in Idaho regarding a possible subject with a warrant that had been living in the area of A Highway in Douglas County. The subject was also reportedly working at a local convenience store. Sheriff Chris Degase did a follow-up which resulted in the arrest of Christopher Armbrust, 22 who was arrested on an Idaho warrant for felony lewd conduct with a minor under sixteen carrying a bond of $100,000. These charges stem from abuse occuring for several years and in two states. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will be obtaining a fugitive from justice warrant from the prosecuting attorney in order to hold Armbrust until he is extradited from Idaho. The charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
On Friday evening, October 7, spirits of the past will be brought to life through storytelling and skits from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Illuminated pathways will guide your way through Ozark legends, folktales, mysteries, superstitions, and natural wonders with spellbinding age-old storytelling. All storytelling sessions will run concurrently and will repeat every 30 minutes so that visitors can attend sessions in any order they choose. Several talented, well-known Missouri
storytellers will be featured at the event. Hear stories of Native American Legends and Lore from accomplished storyteller Diane Moran of Richwoods. Be captivated with Ozark Tales and Superstitions as told by Champ Herren of Marshfield. Author Marideth Sisco will tell True Tales of the Haunted Ozarks. Ms. Sisco is known for her role in the acclaimed film Winter’s Bone and radio broadcast “These Ozarks Hills”, as well as her musical talents as a member of the
Blackberry Winter band. Visitors are encouraged to bring along flashlights and folding lawn chairs. Tales and legends include: • Native American Legends and Lore by Diane Moran • True Tales of the Haunted Ozarks by Marideth Sisco • Ozark Tales and Superstitions by Champ Herren • Search for the Ozark Karkaghne Monster: A Hike to Find the Lurking Beast See Haunting on Page 5

Lady Eagles Volleyball team 14-5 for season Cruising through the season with a 14-5 record the Lady Eagles are gearing up for their annual cancer game. The game will be held at the Liberty High School on Thursday, October 13 at 6 p.m. The Lady Eagles will take on the Summersville Lady Wildcats.

On Saturday, September 24 the varsity team competed in the Carl Junction Tournament. It was a tough tournament for the Lady Eagles as they played some top teams in the area.

Junior Makayla Irvin (22) spikes the ball as the Lady outstanding game against the Thayer Lady Bobcats with 19-25. Stearns led in kills Bobcats try for a block.

Smith with 2 each. “I’m happy with our record so far,” stated Head Coach Shari Tune. We had some early injuries that held us back to start with but we have a lot of depth. I seem to have a back up sub with every position that I feel I can sub in without it hurting my skill level. That is a huge stress reliever for a coach. The girls continue to work hard and progress so we will see where that leads us.”
Slow start, big finish-Liberty shuts out Cabool 50-0 by Brian Ingalls Mountain View Standard News brian@mvstandard.com
Still undefeated. The Liberty Eagles had a slow start last Friday at home on “Senior Night” against the Cabool Bulldogs, but a four-touchdown second quarter, including two scores
in 58 seconds, broke the game open and the Eagles ran away with a 50-0 victory. Brenton Bush was all over the field as the Eagles threw the ball early and often. Bush hauled in 12 catches for 179 yards and three touchdowns. Koel Orchard caught four more passes for 58 yards and a score. In less than three
quarters of work, Josh Pruett completed 20 out of 29 passes for 287 yards. But it wasn’t just a big night for the passing game as Marcos Rodriguez began to run over the Bulldogs, especially in the second half. Two plays into the third quarter, Rodriguez was gone on a 64-yard touchdown run. The
next time Liberty got the ball, he broke loose again, this time for 39-yards and another score. For the night, Rodriguez carried the ball 16 times for 152 yards and three touchdowns. He even saw some time at quarterback in the third quarter, completing a 16-yard pass to Max Rudolph.
Favorite Target. Josh Pruett (5) rolls out and passes to Brenton Bush (8) on Friday night. Pruett and Bush connected 12 times on the night for 179 yards and 3 touchdowns as Liberty remained undefeated. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)
The victory improves Liberty’s season record to 7-0, and with games on the road at Salem and at Houston in the coming weeks, the Eagles will clinch the SCA championship if they can win out, and clinch the number one seed in Districts with just one more victory. Barring a major upset, the District tournament is almost set at the top. Mountain Grove and Ava will likely finish second and third respectively in District standings. Mountain Grove had no trouble with Salem last Friday, defeating the Tigers 55-0, while Ava put Thayer away 34-19 at Thayer. If Districts were today, the Liberty Eagles would face Houston in the first-round, and the winner between Diamond and Willow Springs in the next game. The championship is almost sure to be a rematch for the Eagles against either Mountain Grove or the Ava Bears. Holding the number one seed, however, means Liberty will play every District game at home. As tough as the Eagles are at home, they are getting tougher by the day. Max Rudolph was back in uniform on Friday night and back on
the field, too, as he continues to be eased into competition after suffering a broken bone in his leg in week one. Caleb Oziah, still recovering from a separated shoulder, may be cleared to begin returning to the field in the coming days as well. Another player that has been battling a nagging injury all year is Marcos Rodriguez. If Friday night is any indication, Rodriguez is as healthy as he’s been all season. With two games left in the regular season, the District tournament looming, and a possible rematch with the undefeated Lamar Tigers who dominated 50-13 last Saturday against previously undefeated Valle Catholic, Liberty seems to be getting healthy at just the right time. Or perhaps, that is looking too far ahead. Following last week’s big victory over the Mountain Grove Panthers, the Eagles didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard in the first quarter against the 0-6 Cabool Bulldogs. Liberty scored on a short drive to start the game following an interception by Brenton Bush that set the Eagles up in Bulldog territory. But after See Football on Page 11

Looking Back Through the eyes of the Standard News
‘Run for Your Wife’ at the Star John Smith is an ordinary guy with a big secret. A secret he is quite adept at hiding, that is, until he inadvertently thwarts a mugging and ends up in the hot seat. It seems that John is married to not one, but two wives and has two residences. After getting hit over the head, he mistakenly gives both addresses to the hospital causing some confusion and leading to a police inquiry. The result is complete chaos as he works to prevent the police from finding out about his wives and each wife from finding out about the other. Misunderstandings and mistaken identities abound in Ray Cooney’s “Run for Your Wife,” directed by Craig Fowler at the Star Theater in Willow Springs Friday, October 14 at 7 p.m., Sunday, October 16 at 2 p.m., Friday, October 21 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 22 at 7 p.m. Don’t miss out on this uproariously funny British farce. Make plans now to get to the Star Theater this October and let the laughter roll! All seats are $6. Note: This production includes mild language and adult humor.

A Historical Override History was made this week when Congress in overwhelming bipartisan fashion overrode President Obama’s misguided veto of legislation allowing families of the victims of the horrible attacks of September 11th 2001 to sue the government of Saudi Arabia and seek compensatory damages. The bill was known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) and the President’s initial veto was so poorly received that 97 United States Senators and 348 House of Representatives Members voted to override his veto. As a matter of fact, the only U.S. Senator to reject the veto override was the President’s biggest liberal cheerleader, Harry Reid. With a stroke of his pen, President Obama attempted to take away the ability for families of the worst terror attack in the history of our country the chance to seek the justice they deserve. It is shameful that President Obama chose to bow to the Saudi government instead of standing with Americans. Like most Americans, I still vividly remember watching the news as the Twin Towers fell on the morning of September 11, 2001. Our country pledged to fight these terrorists at their doorsteps, to not rest until each person responsible was made to answer for their heinous crimes, but the truth is that fifteen years later, this still hasn’t fully happened. There are many issues that divide not only Congress, but our country as a whole - support for the victims and families of 9/11 is not one of them. Everyone agrees that the families of the victims on September 11th deserved their day in court. They deserve the opportunity to present their evidence to a judge to determine just how much of a role the Saudi government played in the attacks. We have seen President Obama time and time again go around Congress to enact his liberal agenda, but this time, Democrats in Congress finally had enough and joined with Republicans to hold him accountable. It is a shame that we have come to a point where it takes a Presidential veto override by Congress to stop our commander and chief from ignoring the will of Congress and Americans. A Presidential veto override by Congress is only considered as a last resort option – it requires strong bipartisanship and 2/3rds support of both Chambers of Congress. In U.S. history, there have only been 110 veto overrides, making them extremely rare and historic occasions. President Obama has time and time again emphasized and in fact boasted that he goes around Congress to enact his liberal agenda. For example, when asked in 2012 about how he planned to enact a policy that Congress was opposed to he said, “If Congress refuses to act, I’ve said that I’ll continue to do everything in my power to act without them.” Over the past eight years, President Obama has lived by these words and has taken numerous extraordinary, unconstitutional actions to bypass Congress to implement his leftist agenda. What President Obama’s statement fails to recognize is that he was elected President of a Constitutional Republic, not a Kingship – and that 49% of the country voted for somebody else in his last election. When Congress fails to pass his desired policies, it’s not because they refuse to act, but because more than 50% of Members and Senators agree that what he desires is not what is best for the country as a whole. That is how things are supposed to work, that was the vision of our Founding Fathers, instead the President often tries to come up with illegal executive actions to get around them. The Congressional override of Obama’s veto this week is history that I was proud to be a part of. The legacy of the Obama Administration will now include the stain of a Congressional veto override that after eight years, was long overdue. No piece of legislation can ever heal the wounds of September 11th or get back the almost 3,000 lives lost that day, but my hope is that allowing these victims to seek justice will provide a sense of closure for these families.

Your Second Amendment Rights During the recent veto session the House and Senate voted to override the governor’s veto of Senate Bill 656, making Missouri the 11th state to allow citizens to carry a firearm for self-defense or what is being called, constitutional carry. Missouri citizens have had the right to bear arms since our state’s first constitution in 1820. The law changes a variety of procedures and provisions to existing law. Because of the changes and the varied timing of when certain parts of the law go into effect my office has been answering calls, emails and letters from constituents with questions about Senate Bill 656. Each time a constituent reaches out to my office I take their input into consideration. I received 487 calls, emails and letters asking that I vote in support of the veto override and only 27 asking that I vote to sustain the veto. It is important to remember Senate Bill 656 improves the ability of law-abiding gun owners to exercise their Second Amendment rights, it does not eliminate or restrict the current Concealed Carry process for obtaining a permit, which has been in place since 2003. Under this bill, Missouri will continue to maintain its Concealed Carry (CCW) permit system, which allows permit holders to carry into other Right to Carry states. Concealed Carry permit holders will continue to be able to carry, with permission, into the following places that are restricted: schools; colleges and universities; child care facilities; casinos; churches; posted private property; government-owned buildings; restaurants/bars; and law enforcement offices/police stations. These locations will continue to prohibit all concealed weapons, including those carried by CCW permit holders: amusement parks; sports arenas with over 5,000 seating capacity; hospitals; courthouses; government meetings; within 25 feet of polling places; prisons/jails; airports; federal buildings; and on public transportation. Permit holders can still openly carry even in communities that have prohibited open carry. This is due to a bill passed by the legislature in 2014 that supersedes local ordinances that prohibit open carry. Nothing in Senate Bill 656 changes this. Key components of SB 656 that go into effect immediately include: - Military Permit Renewal, which provides for a permit renewal grace period for service men and women who are serving overseas. Key components of SB 656 that go into effect Oct. 14 include: - $100 Max Fee for Five-Year CCW Permit, which provides that no sheriff may charge more than $100 for a five-year CCW permit, including the background check fee. Also, CCW permit applicants will be able to pay by credit card. Service charges may apply. - Background Check, which allows rural third-class county sheriffs to process background checks for professional registration requirement such as teachers, schools bus drivers, doctors, etc. - CCW Permit Fee Use, which increases the amount of the CCW fees sheriffs are allowed to use to help pay for equipment expenses, as intended by original law. - Babysitter Castle Doctrine, which allows persons who have been authorized by the property owner to be on or in their property to use deadly force as necessary. - Online CCW Training, which allows for a portion of CCW training to be held online. While this will ensure that basic firearm components are covered and tested, it does not impact the classroom or actual shooting competency portion of the training. - Lifetime Permits, which allows Missouri citizens to obtain a 10year, 25-year or 50-year permit that is valid only in Missouri. Fees are $200, $250 and $500, respectively. All renewal background checks, as with a five year permit, are included in the process. - Stand Your Ground, which provides an additional legal defense option by removing the requirement that a person retreat before using force in situations where such person is reasonably in fear of their safety or the safety of another. The following components will go into effect Jan. 1, 2017, so as not to conflict with the re-write of the Missouri Criminal Code: - Constitutional Carry, which allows for the legal carrying of a concealed handgun without the requirement of a government permit. - Prosecutor and Judge Carry, which allows municipal and county prosecuting and assistant prosecuting attorneys, as well as municipal, associate or circuit judges to carry a firearm for self-defense with a CCW permit. - Fire Department Staff Carry, which allows members of a fire department or fire protection district to carry a firearm on the job, with permission from their governing body. Existing permit holders and potential permit holders should maintain or obtain their permits to help protect themselves from any potential legal issues or entering restricted locations accidentally. It is important to remember there is nothing in this law that makes it legal for a convicted felon to obtain or carry a firearm. 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.

The system does need to be upgraded.” The MMMPEP group was first organized in 2010, after 15 cities in the region were notified by their former power provider, Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative (ShoMe Power), that their wholesale power supply contracts with the cooperative would end in 2013. Eventually, 12 MMMPEP cities contracted to receive wholesale power from MJMEUC beginning in 2013. Those 12 mem-
ber cities include: Cabool, Cuba, Houston, Mansfield, Newburg, Richland, St. Robert, Salem, Seymour, Steelville, Sullivan and Willow Springs. Each city maintains full local control over its local operations and retail electric rates. An original member of MMMPEP in 2010, Mountain View withdrew its membership in 2012 to renew a contract with Sho-Me Power. Under its new 2018 power arrangements, Mountain View becomes the 13th city of the MMMPEP power pool and the 68th member of MJMEUC.

New Chief Operating Officer at OMC Flu Vaccines Designed Specifically for Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any specific flu shots that are better suited for seniors? I just turned 65 and would like to find out what’s recommended and how Medicare covers it. Semi-Healthy Senior Dear Semi-Healthy, There are actually two different flu vaccines available this year that are designed specifically for seniors age 65 and older. One option is the Fluzone High-Dose, which has been available since 2010, and the other is the new FDA approved FLUAD vaccine (you only need to get one of these). 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. While the new FLUAD vaccine (FLUAD. com) contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response. The extra protection these vaccines provide is particularly helpful to seniors who have weaker immune defenses and have a great risk of developing dangerous flu complications. The CDC estimates that the flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills an average of 24,000 – 80 to 90 percent of whom are seniors. But be aware that both the Fluzone High-Dose and FLUAD are not recommended for seniors who are allergic to chicken eggs, or those who have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past. You should also know that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend one vaccination over the other, and to date, there have been no studies comparing the two vaccines. If you decide you don’t want to get a senior-specific flu shot, there are other options available to people 65 years and older including the standard (trivalent) flu shot, the quadrivalent flu shot which protects against four different flu viruses, and the FluBlok vaccine for those who have egg allergies. To locate a vaccination site that offers any of these flu shots, visit Vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code. You’ll also be happy to know that as a Medicare beneficiary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the costs of any flu shot, 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 11 months apart.

Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) recently hired Pamela Lee, RN, MS, MBA as the Chief Operating Officer (COO). Lee comes to OMC from United Medical Center in Washington, D.C., where she served as the Executive Vice President of Hospital Operations and the Chief Quality Officer. Lee has significant experience in hospital operations, quality, and patient experience. She has developed strategic, operational, and performance improvement plans and has worked for the Joint Commission and served as a U.S. Malcom Baldrige Quality Award Examiner. Lee holds an MBA and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Illinois, Chicago; and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Iowa,
Iowa City. “OMC will benefit greatly from having Pamela as the Chief Operating Officer. Her education and extensive work experience in hospital operations and quality will be a tremendous asset to our leadership team,” said Tom Keller, President and CEO of OMC. Lee lists one of the biggest factors in her decision to come to OMC as to “the direction the organization was going and leadership commitment on multiple levels – hospital, medical staff and governing board. Although OMC is not in a large metropolitan market, many of its challenges are similar to those of organizations within large urban areas. I was very impressed with the strategic thinking, direction and actions taken on behalf
of OMC’s leaders to remain relevant in the marketplace,” Lee said. “I’m really looking forward to working with OMC staff and the community to proactively meet and manage the health needs of our patient population across the care continuum. I truly believe the OMC system and all of its partners have the potential to positively impact patient and resident lives in a high quality, safe, fiscally responsible and satisfying way. A single individual cannot do it alone. It is evident that the OMC team has made nice strides working together. I look forward to joining the effort by utilizing my knowledge and skills in hospital operations and quality to help meet strategic goals as we address population health management and

other contemporary health care challenges,” Lee said. On a more personal note, Lee really likes the small town, small organization appeal. “Although I’ve lived in larger geographic areas, I prefer smaller, more personable settings,” Lee said. In her spare time, lee enjoys listening to music, exercising, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
CBCO issues urgent appeal for all blood types The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) is issuing an urgent appeal for all blood types. Current blood reserves are at critically low levels, with many types at less than a one-day supply. Eligible blood donors are urged to give at a CBCO donor center or blood drive in their area. “Blood reserves are at an unprecedented low level for this time of year. We haven’t been able to shake the summer shortage yet for a number of reasons,” CBCO Executive Director Anthony Roberts said. “It’s a unique situation, because despite
a strong donor response, we’ve experienced a significant decrease in actual blood donations.” Since July 1, the blood center has registered 16,000 blood donors at area blood drives and donation centers, matching the response for the same period last year. However, the number of donations available for use by area hospitals has dropped by more than 800. “The travel restrictions related to the Zika virus have resulted in a significant increase in temporary donor deferrals,” Roberts explained. “Since May, we
have deferred donors who have travelled outside the country for 28 days. In addition, donor eligibility requirements for hematocrit, the ratio of the volume of red blood cells to the total volume of blood in your circulatory system, have become more stringent. This combination of donor restrictions has contributed to the blood shortage we’re experiencing now.” In November, CBCO will begin testing each blood donation for the Zika virus which will eliminate the travel restriction associated with it. “That will certainly
help ease donor deferrals down the road, but we desperately need more donors to give now,” Roberts said. “Our Springfield donor center is open seven days a week and we have blood drives scheduled all across our region every day. We urge healthy individuals to find a location nearby to give the gift of life soon.” Potential blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. To locate a blood drive in your area, call 1-800-280-5337 or visit www.cbco.org.
In 2015, 13 heroes from Ozarks Medical Center gave the gift of sight to those at risk of going blind by donating their eye tissue for sight-saving corneal transplants. Regional nonprofit Saving Sight coordinated the eye donation process for those donors and is working with Ozarks Medical Center to honor their gifts on a national stage during the 128th Rose Parade which will be broadcast around the world from Pasadena, California on January 2, 2017. Ozarks Medical Center President & CEO Thomas Keller met with officials from Saving Sight Monday to dedicate a rose in honor of the hospital’s eye donors that will be carried on the 14th annual Donate Life Rose Parade float in January. Keller signed a vial with a personal message from the hospital in memory of the hospital’s eye donors. In January, the vial will carry a white Akito rose on the Rose Parade float to honor the donors and help spread the simple, life-giving message that eye, organ and tissue donation heals and saves lives. “It’s an incredible gift these donors make through eye donation. They forever
change the lives of corneal transplant recipients,” said Saving Sight Chief Executive Officer Tony Bavuso. “We’re excited to work with Ozarks Medical Center to honor that gift by dedicating a rose that will be seen around the world as part of this year’s Tournament of Roses Parade and serve as a testament to the healing power of the gift of sight.”
Across its service region, Saving Sight recovered, processed and placed 3,016 corneas for transplant in 2015. Because of the compassion of donors and families and staff at partner hospitals like Ozarks Medical Center, Saving Sight changed the lives of an average of eight people every day through the gift of sight. Over 48,000 corneal trans-
plants took place across the country to restore sight for those in need last year and more than 15,000 Americans gave life through organ donation. Still, today more than 120,000 men, women children await life-saving organ transplants in the United States. You can make a difference by registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. Join the millions of Americans who have chosen to give life by registering as a donor today at registerme. org.

How to meet a first responder
You can meet a First Responder by getting sick or hurt, but a much better way is to visit the Shannon County First Responders’ booth at the Winona Octoberfest on October 15. First Responders from Eminence, Winona and Birch Tree will be on hand to give free blood pressure checks and hand out health and safety information. There will also be free lessons in “hands only CPR” which only takes about five minutes to learn. They will have a variety of medical equipment on display so you can see what gear they carry and how it is used. A home first aid kit will be raffled off, so you can be prepared for minor emergencies. They will also be accepting donations, as the First Responders are all volunteers and the organization does not receive any financial support from anyone other than good members of the community who donate. If you are interested in joining the First Responders, this would be a good time to meet them and talk about it. If you’d just like to learn more about what they do, you can look for the “Shannon County First Responders” page on Facebook.

MDC says fall turkey hunting could be challenging With fall firearms turkey season running Oct. 1-31, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) advises hunters it could be a challenging season. This year’s annual wild-turkey brood-survey shows statewide turkey production in 2016 was lower than the five-year average – likely due to poor nesting success. “Although we didn’t have many days with heavy rainfall in much of the state this spring, we did have quite a few days with at least some precipitation,” said MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle. “When hens are repeatedly getting wet while incubating, it can increase the chances of a predator locating the hen and her nest. Looking at this year’s brood survey results, only 29% of hens were observed with poults, which indicates poor nest success.” Isabelle added June was fairly dry and ideal for brood-rearing in much of the state, but there were relatively few poults that were able to benefit from those conditions due to low nest success this year. “Despite a poor hatch this year, there are still more turkeys on the landscape in many areas of the state compared to five years ago,” Isabelle said. Each summer, citizen volunteers and MDC staff record the number of wild turkey hens and recently hatched turkeys, called poults, they see. These observations are then tallied for the annual brood survey. The number of poults is divided by the number of hens reported
to create a poult-to-hen ratio (PHR). Isabelle explained this is a good measure of turkey nesting success and poult survival. “Each year, thousands of citizens participate in the survey and we are grateful for their contribution,” Isabelle said. “During the three-month survey, participants typically report sightings of 60,000-80,000 turkeys, which is a testament to the large number of dedicated volunteers that take time to participate in the survey.” This year’s statewide PHR was 0.8, which was below last year’s figure of 1.5 and the previous five-year average of 1.6. Regionally, PHRs this year ranged from 0.8 in the Northeast, Union Breaks, and West Prairie turkey productivity regions to 1.3 in the Mississippi Lowlands region (see image). Given the poor hatch throughout the state, Isabelle says fall turkey hunting is going to be more challenging this year. “Having fewer young birds on the landscape this year will likely result in hunters having to put forth more effort to be successful. This will be especially true in areas that experience good acorn production,” he said. Isabelle notes where acorns are abundant, turkeys spend more time in forested areas and do not have to range far to locate food, both of which typically result in reduced turkey harvest. In addition to considering this year’s hatch, Isabelle says hunters should be mindful
of trends in regional turkey numbers. During the last five years, turkey numbers have been increasing in portions of north-central Missouri, as well as in the Ozark Border, Ozarks East, and Ozarks West regions (see image). “Although the 2016 fall prospects are not as positive as years past, October is still a great month to enjoy the outdoors, and fall hunting provides an opportunity to pursue turkeys in the setting of Missouri’s beautiful fall woods, such as MDC’s conservation areas,” Isabelle said. “Unlike the spring season, when more than 100,000 turkey hunting permits are purchased in Missouri, typically fewer than 15,000 hunters purchase fall firearms turkey permits,” he added. Results of the 2016 wild turkey brood survey are available at http://on.mo.gov/2di1PXI. Fall archery turkey hunting continues through Nov. 11 and resumes again Nov. 23 to Jan. 15. Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset with a limit of two turkeys of either sex. Fall firearms turkey season runs Oct. 1-31 from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset with a limit of two turkeys of either sex. Details about fall turkey hunting regulations are found in the 2016 Fall Deer and Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet available wherever hunting permits are sold, from MDC offices and nature centers, or online at http://on.mo.gov/2d7JPxc.
It is that time of year again! October is the month to enroll in the new 4-H club year. The mission of the 4-H organization is to engage the youth and in the process help them to be contributing members of their communities with the assistance of caring adult leaders. Within the state of Missouri, there are 95,000 4-H members who are given the opportunities to gain leadership, citizenship, and life skills through fun and innovative hands-on activities. Singer songwriter Jennifer Nettles was a member of 4-H as a child and today is an active spokeswoman for the organization. Nettles credits her 4-H club with giving her the confidence and tools to become the star she is today. “For me, 4-H was pivotal in helping me become the leader and the artist I am today,” Nettles said in an interview at the annual 4-H Legacy Awards. “I learned so much about shows, music, putting on a show, building a show and all these things that continue to serve me in my
work today.” Missouri 4-H uses research-based programming, drawing on the resources of the University of Missouri and Lincoln University. All curriculum aligns with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education standards. Programing opportunities range from livestock management to filmmaking and robotics. With 4-H, the sky is the limit for opportunities and activities. Camping, nutrition and fitness, arts and crafts, aerospace and rockets… if a child can dream it, 4-H can provide the programing necessary to make that child’s interests a reality. In addition, scholarships are available for members who are ready to enroll in college, taking what they learned in their 4-H clubs and making it a future career. As a means for enhancing adolescent development and helping the youth reach their full potential, 4-H utilizes the positive youth development approach when instructing
their adult volunteers. Positive youth development embraces psychological, behavior, and social characteristics, widely known as the “5 Cs.” The 5 Cs include competence, confidence, connection, character, and compassion. 4-H seeks to employ the 5 Cs in all their activities. “What I think 4-H does best, it encourages kids to explore and find their passion,” said Nettles. “I think that’s important because that- having passion- is what creates a great leader. You can’t have good leadership if you’re not passionate about what it is that you are leading people towards.” 4-H welcomes all young people between the ages of five and eighteen. If you are interested in a 4-H club near you, would like to lead a project or club, or would just like general knowledge on 4-H, contact Dr. Krista Tate, youth development specialist for Howell County at 2562391.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) provides detailed information on Missouri waterfowl hunting in its 2016-2017 Waterfowl Hunting Digest, available where permits are sold and online at short.mdc.mo.gov/ ZoD. Changes for the upcoming season include 21 more days of Canada goose hunting
with all regular goose seasons opening the same day, Nov. 11, and closing the same day, Feb. 6, 2017. The Light Goose Conservation Order will begin on Feb. 7, 2017, instead of Feb. 1. Regarding breeding-ground status, wetland numbers in Canada and the United States were 21 percent lower than 2015 estimates but still similar
to the long-term average. This year’s estimate of 48.4 million ducks is similar to 2015 and is 38 percent above the longterm average. Get population estimates by species in the 2016-2017 Waterfowl Hunting Digest. MDC reminds hunters that waterfowl hunting in Missouri is influenced by habitat conditions, weather, and the timing of migrations more than overall duck and goose numbers. Buy permits from vendors around the state, online at mdc.mo.gov/buypermits, or through MDC’s free mobile apps, Mo Hunting and Mo Fishing, available for download through Google Play for Android devices or the App Store for Apple devices.

19-yard pass from Pruett to Orchard gave Liberty an 8-0 lead, the rest of the quarter was fairly quiet. The Bulldogs managed to stop Liberty’s next drive, and proceeded to put together a 9-play drive of their own to the Eagles 20-yard line. The Bulldogs shot themselves in the foot however, when a shotgun snap went over the head of the quarterback and the Eagles’ Andrew Holden recovered. Starting at their own 32-yard line, the Cabool Bulldogs defense appeared to stop the Eagles again, but facing fourth and five, the Eagles went for it on the last play of the first quarter. They got it. Pruett passed to Orchard for the
first-down, and when the second quarter started the Liberty Eagles came alive. Pruett passed to Bush for 9-yards, ran for five more, and completed two more passes to Bush and Holden to move the ball to the Cabool 13-yard line. Two plays later, Bush got open in the endzone for an 11-yard score. The Eagles led 15-0, and after giving up one firstdown to the Bulldogs, the Eagles stopped Cabool on downs and went on the march again. This time Liberty started from their own 42-yard line, and put together a 13-play scoring drive. It could have been less, but a 44-yard touchdown run by Orchard on the fourth play of the drive was
called back because of a holding penalty. Two incompletions left the Eagles facing a third and 13, but they picked up 15 on a pass from Pruett to Bush. Runs by Orchard, Pruett, and Rodriguez finished the drive as the Eagles took a 22-0 lead. The Eagles got the ball back after stopping Cabool on third and 10 with a sack by Chase Smith, but there was only 1:11 left before halftime. Taking over at their own 8-yard line, most teams would run the ball a few times up the middle and be content to go into the locker room with a 22-0 lead. Liberty, however, decided that was enough time for two more touch-
downs. A screen to Bush went for 16-yards and some breathing room to the 24-yard line. Another pass to Bush who got out of bounds for 10-yards to stop the clock gave the Eagles another firstdown. An 18-yard pass to Orchard, and a 12-yard completion to Rodriguez allowed the Eagles to cross mid-field. From the Bulldogs 43-yard line, Pruett rolled out and passed to Bush who raced away for a 43-yard touchdown and a 28-0 lead with 20 seconds left in the half. The Eagles weren’t finished. A pooch-kick on the ensuing kickoff was recovered by Liberty, and on the very next play, Pruett passed to Orchard for a 39-yard touchdown strike.
The two drives used just 58 seconds as the Eagles went into halftime with a 36-0 advantage. The fireworks continued in the third quarter, but this time on the ground. Liberty received the second half kickoff and two plays into the drive, Rodriguez got loose and raced for a 64-yard touchdown. Only Liberty’s next possession, the Eagles began to sit some starters and Rodriguez and Orchard took turns at quarterback. The drive ended with a 39-yard run on a quarterback keeper by Rodriguez as the third quarter came to a close. The score gave the Eagles a 50-0 lead, and turned on the turbo-clock. The fourth quarter began with
both teams sending in the junior varsity players. The victory meant the Eagles are just two games away from their second consecutive undefeated regular season, and another chance at some larger goals in Districts. Maybe beyond.

Missouri loses big in Death Valley by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist LSU’s Tiger Stadium is a special place, one of the country’s shrines to the grand sport of college football. You can feel the history, all those Saturday nights and big games. An epic tailgating scene surrounds the stadium. The fans, over 102,000 of them, thunder incredible amounts of noise down on the field and belt out “T-I-GE-R-S! Tigers!” after touchdowns. It’s quite a scene, and thousands of Missouri fans made the trip down to Baton Rouge to experience it. Unfortunately, they don’t call this place “Death Valley” for nothing. Missouri
lost 42-7. LSU (3-2, 2-1 in SEC) dominated the game and showed how far Missouri (2-3, 0-2 in SEC play) needs to climb to match the SEC’s most talented teams. Missouri did have some chances early, dropping an interception on LSU’s first drive. Later, trailing 7-0 but driving, Missouri had tight end Sean Culkin open running down the field, but Drew Lock’s pass was either way off target or to another receiver, and LSU’s outstanding cornerback Tre’Davious White intercepted it. From then on, it was rout city. I wrote last week that Missouri receiver J’Mon Moore vs. White would be a fun
matchup to watch. It was indeed fun... if your preferred Tigers were of the LSU variety. White provided great coverage, limiting Moore to just one catch. Even with star running back Leonard Fournette out with an injury, LSU gashed Missouri for 418 rushing yards, averaging an astonishing 8.0 yards per carry. Derrius Guice racked up 163 yards on just 17 carries, with three touchdowns. The first touchdown was a mesmerizing run, but most of LSU’s run success was simply bursting through massive holes created by the offensive line. LSU’s 634 yards of offense were the school’s most ever against SEC competition. LSU has been a member of the SEC for, ahem, 84 years. Missouri’s offense struggled again against major-conference competition. Missouri trailed 35-0 in the fourth quarter before a trick play got the Tigers on the board, a pass from receiver Eric Laurent to Lock that finally gave those road-tripping Mizzou fans a reason to cheer. But positive takeaways were in short supply. Any gains the Missouri offense has made have offset by the defense slipping some from last year. Hard to say how the firing of Les Miles and naming Ed Orgeron the interim head coach affected LSU’s performance, but it’s not hard to say LSU is much better than Missouri. Missouri now gets a welltimed bye week on Saturday, time to rest up between the trip to Death Valley and the Oct. 15 trip to the Swamp to face Florida. The SEC is good at intimidating stadium nicknames. That will be another tough one, although not as tough as LSU. But then Missouri gets a stretch of Middle Tennessee State, Kentucky, at South Carolina and Vanderbilt. That manageable stretch will be huge in determining what kind of season this will be for Missouri and whether the Tigers can get to a bowl.
