Troop G prepares for Thanksgiving Day traffic

Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that Troop G will be participating in enforcement operations throughout the Thanksgiving Day weekend.

The objective of these operations is to promote safety and reduce traffic crashes. Throughout the holiday weekend, troopers within Troop G and throughout the state will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). In addition to Operation C.A.R.E., Troop G will also participate in a special enforcement operation during the peak travel periods on Wednesday, November 23, and Sunday, November 27. During this operation, Troop G troopers will be assigned to 20-mile stretches of U.S. Highway 60 to maximize visibility.

Enforcement efforts on secondary roads within Troop G will be conducted during the same timeframe. Over the entire holiday weekend, troopers will be targeting all traffic violations and will be especially vigilant to excessive speed, careless and imprudent driving, and aggressive driving violations.

Troopers will also be available to help motorists in need of assistance.

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. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”

Liberty Eagles season goes down swinging

by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com

It took the best team in the State of Missouri to defeat the Liberty Eagles. In the end, the Lamar Tigers were able to do what no one else could, that was shut down the Liberty Eagles offense. Liberty scored once in the second quarter, marching 84 yards in 11 plays to stay within a touchdown of the five-time defending State champions, but the Eagles

were contained the rest of the way as the size and speed of the Tigers pulled away for a 42-7 victory at Lamar. The loss officially brings to a close what has been a remarkable season for the Liberty Eagles as they finished with a 13-1 record.

Few teams have been able to stay close to Lamar, who continues to boast bigger, stronger, and faster athletes than most all-star teams could put on the field. Eight different running backs carried the ball for the Tigers, behind an offensive line

that averages the same size as many junior college teams. By the end of the first half, the Tigers had amassed 205 rushing yards and 10 first downs. One reason the Tigers had so many first-downs was the Eagles forced Lamar to work for it.

The Tigers’ had scoring drives of 5, 15, and 11 plays in the first-half, but six different times the Eagles forced the Tigers to try and overcome a fourth down. It was a battle all day.

Fire damages Star Theatre in Willow Springs

Star Theatre Fire - The historic Star Theatre in downtown Willow Springs sustained damages after a fire was reported Saturday afternoon shortly after 1 p.m. The Willow Springs Fire Department along with 11 Point and Mtn. View Fire Departments were on scene to contain the fire. The West Plains Fire Department sent several firemen to assist. The fire reportedly started in the control room and was contained there causing only interior damages. Those damages however were significant. Wendell Bailey who is on the board at the Star Theatre says that they will rebuild and repair and be back in operation sometime in the near future.

ognized for their good play all season.

Chase Smith and Caleb Clark were named SCA First Team All-Conference players last week. Adam Shaw, despite missing most of the season with a broken leg, received Honorable Mention All-Conference, as did defensive end Max Rudolph. Also named First Team All-Conference was running back Marcos Rodriguez, wide-receiver Brenton Bush, quarterback Josh Pruett, and defensive end Koel Orchard. Pruett was also named to First Team All-Conference as a kicker, and the senior quarterback for the Eagles was named SCA Back of the Year.

Second Team honors went to defensive lineman Brodyn Kenaga, and tight-end Andrew Holden. The SCA Coach of the Year was Liberty Head Coach Darin Acklin.

The numbers for the Eagles on Saturday were modest.

The Eagles managed 137 total

yards of offense for the game, most coming in the first half.

Pruett was 11 of 22 throwing the ball for 112 yards. Rodriguez scored the Eagles only touchdown with an 11-yard run up the middle. He finished with 11 tackles on defense as well. As Brenton Bush ended his high school career, he added to his record-setting total with seven more receptions for 65 yards.

Liberty won the coin toss and elected to kick the ball to the Tigers to start the game.

After gaining 17-yards on a first-down run, the Tigers were driven backwards by the Eagles defense. Holden and Kenaga combined to sack the quarterback for an eight-yard loss, and a field goal attempt by the Tigers missed wide.

The Eagles took over at their 20-yard line, but made little progress before punting the ball back to the Tigers. Lamar took over with good field position near mid-field, and ran the ball three times to pick up a first down on the Liberty side of the field. Two plays later, 185lb Luke Hardman broke to the outside and raced 42-yards for a touchdown. The Tigers led 7-0 after the extra-point.

A deep kickoff pinned the Eagles back at their own 12yard line on the next drive. Rodriguez busted up the middle and broke tackles for a 12-yard gain to the 29-yard line. Pruett passed to Holden for eight more yards, and picked up a first down by running it himself on the next play. The drive

yard line. Lamar continued to run the ball for short gains, but a tackle for no gain made by Rodriguez, forced the Tigers to third down from the 11-yard line. After a timeout, the Tigers came back and tossed the ball to Anthony Wilkerson who ran it in for the touchdown. Lamar led 13-0 after a missed extra point.

The Eagles weren’t about to let the Tigers get too far away however. Starting deep in their own territory again, after another deep kickoff, Pruett passed to Orchard on first-down for what turned into a 30-yard strike. That put the ball at the Liberty 46-yard line, and it appeared the Eagles’ drive would stall again. After an incomplete pass, Pruett ran up the middle for four yards, and an option play went for no gain, forcing the Eagles to fourth down. Liberty lined up to punt, but faked it. Pruett instead passed to Orchard, this time for 15-yards and a first-down at the Lamar 35-yard line.

Liberty started rolling. Pruett passed to Bush for eight yards, ran it himself for one more, and then converted a fourth and one with a quarterback keeper, running behind Kenaga and Rodriguez for a three-yard gain.

With a first-down at the Lamar 22-yard line, Pruett passed to Bush for 11 yards, and Rodriguez plowed up the middle for the touchdown on the next play. Liberty’s extra-point made it 13-7 Lamar, keeping the Eagles within striking distance.

stalled after a pass was batted down, Rodriguez was stopped for no gain, and a pass to Bush on third down netted only seven yards after the senior wideout slipped on the turf. Liberty punted and the Tigers were on the march again.

Liberty’s defense did everything they could. Two quick penalties put the Tigers in a second and 17 hole, but Lamar went to the air and found a wide-open receiver 34 yards down field. Liberty’s defense limited the next three running plays to short gains, but a fiveyard run on fourth down gave the Tigers new life.

Again, the Eagles made the Tigers earn it. Liberty gave up four-yard runs on the next two plays, but on third and two, the Eagles stuffed Lamar for no gain. The Tigers Hardman carried the ball on fourth and two, and gained three. That moved the Tigers to the Eagles’ 29-

They just never got the chance. Lamar put together another time-consuming drive for a touchdown as the first half came to a close. The Tigers had to overcome another fourth down, and two penalties along the way. But two jet sweeps, the first by Wilkerson for 17-yards and the next by Matt Whyman for a nine-yard touchdown made it 21-7 Lamar at the half.

The Eagles second half started with a sack, a penalty, and eventually a punt. It was the sort of frustration they would face as the Tigers scored three more times, and took the 42-7 victory.

Liberty’s football season came to end with another SCA Championship, a District Title, and several records smashed.

It wasn’t everything the Eagles wanted, but it was close, and by any measure, it was yet another successful year for the players and the coaching staff, and especially the fans.

Boom! Koel Orchard and Devin Wallander converge on the running back as Andrew Holden races over to help. The Eagles forced Lamar to fourth down six times in the first half.

Senate majority caucus elects new leadership We Honor Your Service, Your Sacrifice

Throughout our country’s history our veterans and the patriots before them answered the call of duty and have valiantly fought to make America a place where personal liberties are celebrated and the rights bestowed to us upon the Constitution are forever protected and preserved. Veterans Day is our chance to express gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform who thanklessly gave their time and often lives to protect a truly free nation.

This week I visited several schools in southern Missouri that held ceremonies in honor of Veterans Day including Bourbon High School, Sikeston High School and Senath High School.

It was wonderful to see a current generation of young people honoring the veterans that have served so they can continue to enjoy the same protections, rights and freedoms of those who came before. I encouraged all of the young Missouri students I visited this week to continue to honor our nation’s heroes not just once a year on Veterans Day, but challenged them to find an opportunity throughout the year to give back to their communities and say thank you to the brave men and women who serve our country.

This Veterans Day we also need to remember and recognize the special acts of those in our communities who demonstrated bravery, exemplified service, and made us all proud, those like Tom Surdyke who tragically lost his life in June saving the life of another. I had the honor of nominating Tom to West Point in 2015 and sharing in his family’s celebration the day he earned his Eagle Scout. While on vacation on June 24th, 2016, Tom and another swimmer he’d just met on shore were caught in a riptide. Tom instinctively went to save the other young man, sacrificing his own life. He was buried at West Point on July 4th, 2016 on his 19th birthday and was given the Soldier’s Medal, the Army’s highest non-combat valor award for saving the life of another. ‎In June, I was lucky enough to honor another American hero, the now late Veteran Raymond Burbach, by presenting him with seven awards and accolades he earned during his service in the Korean War that were 60 years past due. Both Tom and Raymond will always be remembered as American heroes. ‎Their dedication to a life of service and the instinct to put others first is what distinguishes our veteran patriots and heroes.

There is much we can do to honor our veterans not just on Veterans Day, but every day of the year by helping them transition successfully back to civilian life. Things like ensuring that veterans have access to adequate health care, including mental health, educational opportunities and good paying jobs when they return home.

For instance, when I heard from numerous veterans across southeast and south central Missouri that they wanted to see expanded care, service hours and options at VA facilities in Salem, I was proud to help by meeting with VA officials and securing additional hours and operations for the facility.

Earlier this year, I was also able to play a role in supporting legislation which provided $176.9 billion in funding for the VA, including $52.8 billion in funding for VA medical services, which included mental health services, suicide prevention activities, long-term care services, funding for rural health initiatives and support services for caregivers of veterans and initiatives to fight homelessness among veterans and their families. This effort was an important reminder that our thanks shouldn’t just be for their active service, but in helping them transition.

There are over 55,000 veterans living in the 8th Congressional District of Missouri alone who deserve our gratitude for their service to our nation. There is much work still to be done to improve the lives of our veterans when they return home let us make that our duty, our service, and our commitment to all of them, they deserve it.

Of the 96,131 deer harvested, 55,753 were antlered bucks, 8,873 were button bucks, and 31,505 were does.

Last year hunters checked 97,002 deer during the opening weekend of the 2015 November portion of firearms deer season.

Moment In The Word

by Edwin Woolsey 1 Chronicles 21:11-12 So Gad came to David and said, “These are the choices the LORD has given you. 12You may choose three years of famine, three months of destruction by the sword of your enemies, or three days of severe plague as the angel of the LORD brings devastation throughout the land of Israel. Decide what answer I should give the LORD who sent me.”

After voting in the recent general election, I began wistfully speculating on the outcome, “God, help my candidate to win!” Suddenly, God spoke to my heart, “The outcome of your vote does NOT matter! This country still stands accountable before me for your national sin!”

Immediately, I was reminded of King David’s crisis after sinning against God. The man was given three choices, but all three led to judgment. After leaving the polls, I realized whether the “flavor of the month” turned out to be Hillary, Donald, or Bernie, the controversy God has with America still remains!

Honestly, I was very discouraged after God spoke to my spirit because I had hoped maybe “my guy or my gal” might be the remedy for all the problems we face. However, the Almighty said, “No! The solution is not some other person. The solution is YOU!”

Again, another Scripture was opened to me, “I will cancel the bargain you made to cheat death, and I will overturn your deal to dodge the grave.” Isaiah 28:18 Just as we have tried to ignore God’s warning regarding our national sin, ancient Israel thought they could avert divine wrath by forming a league with Egypt against the military threat of the brutal Assyrians. However, the Almighty had already promised His people, if they refused to repent, He would personally bring the Assyrians down to enslave all those who lived wickedly in sin.

God had clearly enumerated the offenses that needed to be fixed... the politicians were drunken scoundrels and the priests were dishonest thieves. (Isaiah 28:7-9) The moral crisis was not a national secret! Everyone knew what was going on, including God! The people’s moral filth stank to high heaven like vomit covering the land! (Isaiah 28:8) But still Israel rebelled by demanding, “Who does God think He is? What gives him the right to talk to us the way He does?”

Sadly, when the Assyrians finally attacked both Israel and Egypt, the mutual-defense treaty meant to avert disaster was not worth the ink and papyrus on which the terms were written.

(Isaiah 28:15) So, what about us? Have we delusively consoled ourselves by thinking this

election will actually repair the damage that only repentance can mend? Regardless of who is elected, we have fooled ourselves! We live in a nation that kills its own children! God’s primal covenant of marriage between men and women lies in shambles. I don’t care who you are! I don’t care who got your vote! There is absolutely NO party affiliation that will obliterate the “covenant of death” we have made, substituting abominable perversion in place of humility and godliness. You can totally forget Hillary, Donald, and Bernie! There is only ONE REMEDY that will save us from our national sin!

As I walked away from the polling place today, God placed his finger on my self-deluded attitude of arrogant pride! As far as the Creator was concerned, “My vote counted for NOTHING!” I was simply trying to dodge personal accountability for national sin by joining in a worthless covenant to escape death.

But until I am sincerely willing to humble myself, pray, seek God’s face, and turn from MY wicked ways... merely casting a vote will change absolutely nothing! (2 Chronicles 7:14) Democrat, Republican, Independent, Tea Party, Constitutionalist, Libertarian... will you join me as I humbly repent before the face of my Heavenly Father? Apart from that, we are all doomed!

These filings are a part of public record provided as a public service to communities in the district.

Motorists reminded to Move Over for responders; Traffic Incident Response Awareness Week Nov. 14-18 Every minute of every day emergency responders across Missouri work tirelessly to help save lives at the scene of traffic incidents. Across the country every year hundreds of emergency responders representing fire, law enforcement, emergency medical services, towing and transportation agencies are struck and either injured or killed while responding. The Federal Highway Administration has declared Nov. 14-18, 2016, as the first national Traffic Incident Response Awareness Week. The Missouri Department of Transportation and its partners including the Missouri State Highway Patrol remind motorists to move over for any vehicle with flashing lights on the highway.

MoDOT and the State Patrol work every day to maintain a safe and reliable transportation system for Missourians. Traffic incidents on the roads jeopardize that and therefore MoDOT’s emergency response crews work to keep our system moving every day. In an average month, MoDOT emergency crews respond to 5,500 traffic incidents.

“MoDOT and its partners in law enforcement, fire, EMS and the tow industry work together to clear incidents but we need the help of motorists,” said MoDOT Chief Engineer Ed Hassinger. “Move over when you see responders on the road and give them extra space to work. They are out there trying to clear the road for you so give them space to work.”

Missouri’s Move Over law requires drivers to change lanes when approaching MoDOT vehicles, law enforcement vehicles and any other emergen-

cy vehicle with lights flashing.

If drivers can’t change lanes safely, they must slow down as they pass the emergency vehicles.

“Every day, first responders spend countless hours along the side of Missouri’s busiest highways,” said Colonel J. Bret Johnson, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. “Whether writing a ticket, investigating a crash, or helping a stranded motorist, they are dangerously close to passing traffic. Move over, and give them some room. Remember their safety is in your hands.”

In the past ten years, MoDOT has had three emergency response employees killed while working incidents on the road. During about the same time period, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has had three troopers killed and several others seriously injured in roadside incidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the total number of police-reported traffic crashes increased by 3.8 percent from 2014 to 2015.

Traffic incident fatalities have increased 7.2 percent, which is the largest percentage increase in nearly 50 years. Traffic incidents are the number one case of death for police officers and EMS responders nationwide.

“When you see lights, vests, reflectors, move over and slow down. Give us room to work,” said Hassinger. “We’ve got your back. Do you have ours?”

Missouri ends losing streak, heads to Tennessee next

by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist

rassing 11-game SEC losing streak and a five-game overall losing streak. And there was some stress. Vanderbilt (4-6, 1-5 in SEC) is a limited team that plays strong defense and hopes for the best on offense, but the Commodores are tough.

Vandy very gradually rallied to within 19-17, prompting fears of disaster among the rugged, faithful Tiger fans still in attendance.

But Missouri held on, scoring a touchdown with 8:39 to play on another pass from Lock to Moore. But drama remained; the Tigers were up eight and needed to extra point to make it a two-score game. Missouri’s Tucker McCann had already missed two extra points and a short field goal. In came Ben

They won.

For the first time in seven weeks, the Missouri Tigers won a football game, 26-17 over Vanderbilt at Faurot Field.

Beating the Commodores at home is not something to brag about, but it was a game the Tigers desperately needed, Barry Odom’s first Southeastern Conference win, Missouri’s first SEC win in more than 13 months.

Missouri (3-7, 1-5 in SEC play) jumped out to a 19-0 lead, boosted by a pick-6 interception return for a touchdown and a long touchdown pass from Drew Lock to J’Mon Moore, calling to mind warmer, more optimistic times when those two had a big game against Georgia and the season The Texas County Mewas young and the Tigers had morial Hospital Healthcare hope.

Of course, Missouri’s season is still a bad one, at 3-7 with two challenging games left. But for one more glorious autumn afternoon at 90-yearold Faurot Field, it was nice to see the Tigers win again, to get Odom’s first SEC win.

But now, will this game just represent a footnote, a bit of trivia in a lost season? Or is this a small turning point for a young team and rookie coach?

We’ll see, starting with Saturday’s trip to Rocky top to face the Tennessee Volunteers

(2:30 p.m. on CBS).

Tennessee (7-3, 3-3 in SEC) has had a circus of a season, complete with wild comebacks, a win on a Hail Mary, a double-overtime classic, a shocking loss to South Carolina, and still a possible SEC Championship Game berth.

The Mtn. View-Birch Tree R-III School District Board of Education will meet Thursday, November 17 at 6 p.m. in the Liberty High School Media Center.

Items on the agenda include approval of consent agenda consisting of minutes of previous meet-

ing; monthly bills and the monthly administrative/ principal reports.

New business for the meeting will include exceptions to monthly bills; monthly financial report, food service bid award; setting of filing date for school board elections; 2015-2016

school audit; gifted handbook revision approval; September enrollment information; construction manager discussion and annual performance report.

Before moving into closed session the board will hear administrator’s reports.

University-West Plains, are $5 each. Children age 13 and under and those with a university BearPass ID will be admitted free. Tickets are available at the civic center box office, 110 St. Louis St., or by phone 417256-8087. The performance is made possible, in part, with grant funding from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.

For more than 20 years, this St. Louis-based troupe, which was one of the original members of Dance St. Louis, has been thrilling audiences of all ages with such acts as a fire and knife performer, drummers, and traditional dancers from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa and New Zealand in costumes that represent each unique culture, organizers said.

The Dec. 4 show is expected to last about one hour and 15 minutes, they added.

The troupe will be lead

by Linda “Atea” Evans, who has studied with such renowned instructors as Roiti Sylva, Moeta Pihana, Tiana and Rikki Liufau of Nono Sina Polynesia, Charlene Hereford, Linda Shelton, Karoline Mariteragi, Marian Harris, Losa Manumaluena, the Butler family, Lafi Manumaluena, Fran Galeai, Kona Kaleikini, Medley Key, Dano

and Ose Makua, and Barbie “Kuupo” Domingo with Halau Ho’o Mau I Ka Wai Ola O Hawaii in Maryland.

Evans serves on the staff at Center of Creative Arts in St. Louis and is a member of the Hula Midwest Association. She has attended the Merrie Monarch celebration on four separate occasions on the big island of Hawaii and has met Uncle George Naope, Kumu Mahaina Bailey at the Aloha March of 2000 and 2002, and Royal Order of Kamehameha I. “This performance really immerses the audience in so many parts of Pacific Island culture,” said Jennifer Moore, coordinator of U/CP theater and events.

“The members of this dance troupe are both very talented and devoted to making sure the costumes, music and dances are very true to the native cultures they originate from. And, they have been known to invite audience mebmers to the stage to help them hula.”

Students continue trend of above-average age scores on CAAP test For more than 10 years, students at Missouri State University-West Plains have scored above the national average in all categories of the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) examination, university officials announced.

Results of the test, which is administered nationwide to graduates of two-year degree programs, were recently released for 2016 graduates and show Missouri StateWest Plains students scored above the national mean score in all five categories of the examination. Those categories include writing skills, mathematics, reading, critical thinking and science reasoning. Graduates have scored at or above the national average in all five subject areas for 21 consecutive years.

“We do not apologize for the rigor of our academic programs. In fact, we are very proud of what we teach and how we teach it,” said Missouri State-West Plains Chancellor Drew Bennett.

“The outstanding performance of our students on this test year after year shows that our academic program is one of the best values in higher education in terms of quality and cost. This is independent, empirical data that proves our students are learning what is expected at an institution of higher education based on national standards.”

Results of the testing show

Missouri State-West Plains students posted a 63.1 mean score in writing compared to the national average of 61. In math, their mean score was 57.0 compared to the national mean of 56.1.

In reading, Missouri StateWest Plains students had a 62.2 mean score compared to the national average of 59.9, and in critical thinking, they posted a 62.8 mean score compared to 60.5 nationally.

In science, students posted a 60.3 mean score compared to 59.1 nationally.

“While we measure student learning in our courses each semester, the CAAP exam is one of three key ways of annually assessing how we are doing across the board in assisting our students in meeting our general education goals,” said Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Dennis Lancaster. “Combined with information from the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and our students’ portfolios that come at the end of their degree programs, the CAAP gives us a snapshot of a student’s mastery in these five key academic areas, each foundational to his or her collegiate and career success.”

Area residents interested in learning more about the academic programs available at Missouri State-West Plains can call the admissions office at 417-255-7955 or visit the campus’ website at http:// www.wp.missouristate.edu.

Howell County Health Department recognizes two members for years of service

Caregiving Tips for Long-Distance Caregivers Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any long-distance caregiving tips that can help me help my elderly father who lives in another state? He has physically declined over the past year, but is determined to stay living in his own house.

Worried Daughter Dear Worried, Providing care and support for an aging parent who lives far away can be very difficult and stressful. Here are some tips and resources that can help.

When it comes to monitoring and caring for an aging parent from afar, you have a couple options. You can either hire a professional to oversee your dad’s needs, or you can manage things yourself by building a support system, tapping into available resources, and utilizing technology devices that can help you keep tabs on him.

Professional Help If your dad needs a lot of help, you should consider hiring an “aging life care professional” who will give him a thorough assessment to identify his needs, and will set up and manage all aspects of his care. These professionals typically charge between $100 and $200 per hour, and are not covered by Medicare.

To find a professional in your dad’s area, ask his doctor for a referral or visit the Aging Life Care Association website at AgingLifeCare. org.

Do-It-Yourself If your dad only needs occasional help, or if you can’t afford to use a care manager,

here are some things you can do yourself to help him.

Assemble a support system: Put together a network of people (nearby friends or family, neighbors, clergy, etc.) who can check on your dad regularly, and who you can call on from time to time for occasional help. Also put together a list of reliable services you can call for household needs like lawn care, handyman services, plumber, etc.

Tap local resources: Most communities offer a range of free or subsidized services that can help seniors with basic needs such as home delivered meals, transportation, senior companion services and more. Contact the Area Aging Agency near your dad – call 800-677-1116 for contact information – to find out what’s available.

Use financial aids: If your dad needs help with his financial chores, arrange for direct deposit for his income sources, and set up automatic payments for his utilities and other routine bills. You may also want to set up your dad’s online banking service, so you can pay bills and monitor his account anytime.

Or, if you need help, hire a daily money manager (aadmm.com) to do it for you.

They charge between $25 and $100 per hour.

Benefitscheckup.org is another excellent resource to look for financial assistance programs that may help your dad, particularly if he’s lower-income.

Hire in-home help: Depending on your dad’s needs, you

may need to hire a part-time home-care aide that can help with things like preparing meals, housekeeping or personal care. Costs can run anywhere from $12 up to $25 per hour.

To find someone, ask for referrals through your dad’s doctor or area hospital discharge planners, or try websites like Care.com, CareLinx.com, CareFamily.com or CareSpotter.com.

Utilize technology: To help you keep tabs on your dad and manage his care from afar, there are various technologies that can help.

For example, there are motion sensors (like Silver Mother - sen.se/silvermother) and video cameras (nest.com/camera) that can help you make sure he is moving around the house normally; computerized pillboxes (medminder.com) that will notify you if he forgets to take his medication; simplified computer tablets (grandpad.net) that provide important face-toface video calls; and a variety of websites that can help you coordinate care (lotsahelpinghands. com) and medical information (reunioncare.com) with other family members.

For more tips, call the National Institute on Aging at 800222-2225 and order their free booklet “Long-Distance Caregiving: Twenty Questions and Answers.”

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.

Test confirms traveler infected with Zika virus

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services confirmed a case of Zika virus found in a non-pregnant woman who traveled to the British Virgin Islands. This case brings the total number of travel-related cases found in Missouri to 32.

Nearly 80 percent of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms.

Typically, symptoms are mild and include fever, rash, joint soreness and/or redness of eyes.

International health officials have found a connection between pregnant women contracting the virus and a birth defect called microcephaly in their newborn infants. According to the CDC, babies with microcephaly often have smaller head sizes and brains that might not have developed properly.

According to the CDC, Zika virus has the potential to be spread through a mosquito bite, through unprotected sexual contact, through blood transfusion and an infected pregnant woman can pass Zika virus to her fetus during pregnancy.

There is not currently a vaccine for Zika virus. The best prevention measure is to avoid mosquito bites in areas with ongoing transmission.

There have been no reported cases of Zika virus contracted from a mosquito bite in Missouri. Ways to avoid mosquito bites while outdoors include wearing EPA-registered insect repellent with DEET, wearing pants and long sleeves, or remaining indoors in an air conditioned environment.

The CDC is recommending pregnant women avoid traveling to Zika-affected areas which include areas of Florida and countries ranging from Mexico into the Caribbean, Central America and South America.

Brown's Farm & Garden Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 11/8/2016 Receipts: 3,018 Week ago: 3,216 Year ago: 4,057 Compared to last week, steer calves under 500 lbs traded steady to 5.00 higher with heavier weights unevenly steady. Yearling steers traded 4.00-8.00 higher. Heifers calves under 500 lbs were 3.00-7.00 higher with heavier calves steady to 2.00 higher.

Yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. A good day on the board combined with some much needed rain across parts of the Wheat Belt, helped to keep the demand for feeders strong. The Feeder supply included 58 percent Steers, 34 percent Heifers, and 8 percent Bulls with 43 percent of the offering weighing over 600 lbs.

The Market News Service sends condolences to the family of David Smith. Smitty was a long time Market Reporter, a great mentor and a trusted friend. His wisdom, humor and wit will be greatly missed.

Public can now use 6,300 acres of private land for outdoor activities Hunters, anglers, and wildlife viewers now have access to about 6,300 acres of private land through the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Missouri Outdoor Recreational Access Program (MRAP).

MRAP lands are privately owned properties in which the landowners voluntarily agree to allow public access.

In return, MDC provides the landowners with annual incentive payments and habitat improvement assistance. Approximately 6,300 acres are currently enrolled in the program and open to the public.

MRAP properties range in size from a few to several hundred acres and offer varying types of outdoor recreation.

Participating landowners determine the activities that may

occur on their land by selecting one of the public-access options offered by the program: 1) All Access Hunting and Fishing, 2) Small Game and Turkey Hunting, 3) Youth Only Hunting and Fishing, 4) Archery Hunting, 5) Fishing, and 6) Wildlife Viewing Only.

MRAP properties are open to foot traffic only and area users are asked to self-register at the designated parking and entry points. All rules and regulations enforced by MDC apply on MRAP lands.

MRAP land must meet minimum habitat requirements.

This new program is largely funded by a $1.1 million grant from the US Department of Agriculture’s Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program.

MRAP and to find available mrap. The webpage includes public access options, rules ment information for landproperties, visit mdc.mo.gov/ maps of enrolled properties, and procedures, and enroll- owners.

Winter trout fishing kicks off in Missouri

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is stocking 73,000 rainbow trout in 32 urban-area lakes around the state for winter trout fishing beginning in early November. Many of these areas allow anglers to harvest trout as soon as they are stocked, while other areas are catch-and-release until Feb. 1. Find locations at short.mdc.mo.gov/Zo6.

The daily limit for catchand-keep at these locations is four trout with no length limit. All Missouri residents over age 15 and under age 65 must have a fishing permit.

All nonresidents over age 15 must have a fishing permit.

To keep trout, all anglers of all ages must have a Missouri trout permit.

“Trout are typically found in the cold, spring-fed, streams of southern Missouri,” MDC Fisheries Programs Specialist Andrew Branson said. “Stocking selected lakes and ponds around the state during the winter months provide closeto-home trout fishing opportunities in parts of Missouri that you normally won’t find Hunters, anglers, and wildlife viewers now have access to about 6,300 acres of private land through MDC’s Missouri trout.”

Camdenton angler catches state-record hybrid striped bass The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that Mark McArtor of Camdenton became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he caught a hybrid striped bass on the Lake of the Ozarks.

The new “alternative method” record hybrid striped bass caught by McArtor on Oct. 31 weighed 9-pounds, 1-ounce with a length of 27 inches. McArtor caught the fish with a jug line in front of his house on the lake.

“My wife and I are thrilled to have caught a state record fish,” McArtor said. “I still can’t believe it!”

McArtor said he was using shad for bait trying to catch blue catfish when he caught the large hybrid striped bass.

“This wasn’t the first hybrid striped bass we caught,” he said. “We actually caught a pretty decent sized one last year, but it didn’t meet the qualifications for the Department’s master angler program.”

SCCA to hold meeting Nov. 17 The South Central Cattleman’s Assocition will hold a meeting on Thursday, November 17 at 7 p.m. at the University of Missouri Extension Office located at 1376 Bill Virdon Blvd. in West Plains.

The speaker for the meeting will be Dr. Jared Decker Professor at the University of Missouri speaking on the topic of assisting breed associations and Beef producers on understanding and using genetic technologies for selection decisions.

Come and enjoy the evening of education. If you have never been to the Extension Office it would be a great opportunity.

MDC staff verified the record-weight fish using a certified scale in Camdenton.

This is the 15th state record fish caught this year by an angler.

“A state record fish can be caught any time of the year, but we normally do not receive many state record fish applications once summer is over, “said MDC Fisheries Programs Specialist Andrew Branson. “But since the weather has been warmer this year a lot people are still fishing, which means a better chance of someone catching a state record fish.”

McArtor noted he hopes to catch more state record fish like this one with his wife.

“Catching another state record would be great, but really I am just happy with what the lake provides,” McArtor said.

Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl.

Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish.

Hunters check 3,698 turkeys during fall firearm season The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announced that hunters checked 3,698 turkeys during Missouri’s fall firearms turkey season, Oct. 1-31. Last year’s fall firearms turkey harvest total was 6,158. Top harvest counties for the 2016 fall firearms turkey season were Greene with 128, Franklin with 96, and Wayne with 92.

MDC’s turkey biologist says this year’s low fall firearms turkey harvest total can be attributed to several factors, including a poor turkey hatch, above-average acorn production, and a decline in hunter participation.

“This year’s turkey hatch was very poor, so there were far fewer young birds for hunters to pursue this fall,” said MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle. “We had above-average acorn produc-

tion in much of the state this year as well, which typically results in fewer turkeys being harvested.”

In addition to the effects of a poor turkey hatch and above-average acorn production, interest in the fall firearms turkey season has been declining in Missouri as it has in a number of states.

Isabelle noted, “This year’s fall firearms turkey permit sales total of 11,696 permits was the lowest on record since the season started in 1978.”

Fall archery turkey hunting continues through Nov. 11 and then resumes again from Nov. 23 through Jan. 15, 2017.
