Congressmen Jason Smith The elections are over and we now know that Donald J Trump will become the 45th President of the United States. One of the key factors to his victory was a promise to stop the onslaught of Washington driven regulations and executive orders coming from the Obama White House which have crippled American farmers, families and business owners.

No charges DRA grant awarded to in shooting remove the dam at Dawt Mill incident Congressman Jason Smith announced new grant support through the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) of $86,625 to the Dawt Missouri Preservation Society for the removal of the dam located at Historic Dawt Mill. “This important grant will help provide for improvements to one of the most pristine, frequently visited waterways in Missouri’s Eighth Congressional District,” said Smith. “Good will result from tragedy - hope from heartache.”
On June 25, 13-year-old Chloe Butcher from Springfield, fell into the North Fork River and became trapped in a breached section of the dam located at Dawt Mill. The teenager later drowned. “After the heartbreaking loss of life, I thought it was imperative to bring the Missouri State Highway Patrol, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the DRA and local elected officials together with the property owners

Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, commends the Patrol’s Aircraft Division for its work while assisting in the search and apprehension of a Texas County man. The searches occurred on two separate occasions within one month of each other. The subject of both searches, Daniel G. Campbell, 39 of Licking, MO, was first sought on October 25, 2016, after he allegedly shot two men at a residence near Success, MO. One of the men died from gunshot wounds and the second was seriously injured. Following this assault, the suspect fled the scene in the murder victim’s pickup. The Patrol helicopter located the pickup two days later in a remote location in the Mark Twain National Forest. The aircraft was instrumental in providing containment of the suspect who was arrested the following day at a nearby church. The second search began on November 14, 2016, after Campbell escaped from the Texas County Jail, where he was being held on charges stemming from the October 25, 2016, incident. This search concluded the following day after Campbell went to the
residence of an acquaintance asking for help. After he left, the person reported it to the Texas County Sheriff’s Office and Campbell was spotted in a nearby wooded area by the air crew. He surrendered to responding officers with the Patrol helicopter overhead. Capabilities of Patrol aircraft have evolved in recent years. Short haul rescues are now possible, as is fire suppression. The aircraft used in the Texas County searches is equipped with Augmented Reality System (ARS) which is an advanced mission management and mapping system designed to augment full motion video in real time with geospatial information. The system uses addresses, roadways, businesses, etc., and overlays them on the video images from the forward looking infrared camera (FLIR). This system also makes it easier to operate the camera, because instead of looking away from the camera to look at a map, all the information appears on the screen. The ARS was purchased through a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Traffic and Highway Safety Division. “We are fortunate to have

support that the Endangered Species Act would not stand in the way of public safety,” said Smith. “No endangered species should take precedence over people. I’m glad we were able to ensure that the protection of the Ozark Hellbender salamander was not prioritized above human safety.” The proposed project seeks to remove approximately 290 feet of the 425 foot wide mill dam at Historic Dawt See Grant on Page 7

to lessen the likelihood that this type of situation could happen again,” said Smith. “It was a productive meeting that ultimately led to today’s announcement of funding to remove the dam.” The Army Corps of Engineers approved a permit for the dam removal in the beginning of September. “In July, the Army Corps of Engineers assured an expedited review process of any permit requests related to the dam, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials voiced

this resource available to Troop G,” said Captain Inman, “Large remote areas and sometimes rough terrain make traditional searches on foot and by vehicle difficult if not impossible.” The charges for which Campbell was arrested are mere accusation and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. Agencies involved in the search and apprehension of Campbell include the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Texas County Sheriff’s Department, Dent County Sheriff’s Department, Douglas County

Charges are not expected to be filed against a man for shooting his son in an apparent domestic incident on Sunday, November 13 in Douglas County. On Sunday, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding an in-progress domestic occurring in Eastern Douglas County in the area of County Road 157 off of EE Highway. According to reports, a male subject stated that a man had come into his residence and began beating on his wife. The perpetrator was the victim’s son. The victim reportedly acted in self defense and shot the perpetrator in the chest.

Southern Missouri Community comes together to help those in need This is a story about people helping people. And during the Thanksgiving holiday, a time when families come together to celebrate and give thanks for what they have, this gesture seems even more important. From a concept formed in the 1960’s, food banks, where those suffering from lack of funds to purchase things vital to survival can receive aid for themselves and their families, have flourished. In Southern Missouri, the
community of Mountain View, home to one of eight Landmark Banks in the area, has such a facility. Once a month, area volunteers, including those from Landmark Bank, gather at the local distribution center to assist in unpacking, sorting and handing out food and supplies to area families in need. They must rely, however, on the Ozark Food Harvest Food Bank, 100 miles away in Springfield, for much of their inventory. The Mountain View pro-
gram is called Food Enough for Everyone Distribution, or F.E.E.D. Serving the Mountain View and Peace Valley area, food and other needed items are distributed on the first Thursday of the month, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the St. John Vianney Catholic Church parish hall. Volunteer Director Jennett Haynes advises that donations of all kinds are welcome, including volunteer time and funds needed to help the program do its job. “F.E.E.D plays an im-
portant role in our Mountain View local area,” Steve Vines, Landmark Bank regional president for Southern Missouri, said. “The organization serves a much larger group than most would imagine. If not for their efforts, there would be many who would struggle to care for their families.” Organizations like this one cannot survive without monetary support from the communities they serve, and F.E.E.D. is no exception. A fund-raiser with
a goal of raising $3,000 is underway currently. If successful, the funds will be matched, dollar for dollar, by Ozark Food Harvest. To make product donations or to volunteer your time, contact Jennett Haynes at (417) 247-7102 or (417) 2775521. Monetary contributions may be donated to the F.E.E.D. account at Landmark Bank, or mailed to Jennett Haynes, 3883 South State Route 17, Mountain View, MO 65548. Everyone involved in this
program hopes that with continued help from the Mountain View community, F.E.E.D. will grow, making it possible to supply every area family that comes forward in need of help—not just for Thanksgiving, but throughout the year. Landmark Bank is a community bank with $2.4 billion in assets and 42 locations in 29 communities across Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. For more, visit www.landmarkbank. com or call (800) 618-5503.

man that claimed to be a friend of his family. He did it to help his grandmother with the little extras she couldn’t afford. Years later, attempting to break free from the clutches of an unscrupulous boss of organized crime, Anthony Taylor finds himself imprisoned after the murder of his younger brother. Thinking he is alone in the world, he sets out to avenge his brother’s death. In the process of finding justice for his brother, Anthony takes on a new identity to inject himself deep into the world of organized crime and human trafficking. Working closely with a task force made up from different branches of government law enforcement, he also receives help from a very unwanted and unusual source in bringing down the person responsible. “During the years I lived on the farm at Birch Tree, MO, I fell in love with the area. The beauty and tran-
quility of the area lead to a feeling of peace and being at one with nature. For this reason, I decided to use the area around Birch Tree as the setting for a compound to house, and hide, victims of Human Trafficking,” explained the author Billie Slusher (aka Jean Schick). “Although this is a work of pure fiction, it was inspired by an actual occurrence within my own family. Human Trafficking is something that can, and does happen all across our own country. People think it can’t happen here. If this book opens the eyes of even one person that makes a difference in putting a stop this, it will be worth the effort I put into it. I have decided to dedicate the book to the memory of Dr. James E. Thompson. After my expenses have been covered, I will set aside a portion of each sale to go toward the eradication of Human Trafficking.”

Safety Award - Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative, Inc. (HOEC) employees were recently presented with a safety award for more than 164,000 man-hours worked with no loss time accidents in 2015. HOEC continues to make safety a number one priority. Officials with HOEC said, “This award is a great reflection of the commitment to safety our employees have.” Accepting the safety award on behalf of HOEC employees is Dan Singletary, CEO/General Manager of Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative, Inc., pictured on right. The award was presented by Rob Land, Vice President of Risk Management & Training with the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives. (Photo provided to the Standard)

These reptiles can be found in the tropic and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. In 1970, it was listed un-
der the Endangered Species Act, she added. Costa Rica is one of the world’s most important nesting sites for Leatherback sea turtles, Estrella-Riollano, said. Scientists there are working in tracking and studying nesting behaviors to help increase the population numbers around the world.
Singletary appointed as district representative Dan Singletary, CEO/ General Manager of Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative, Inc., West Plains, was recently appointed as a district representative to the Executive Committee and the Internal Operations Committee for the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC), Jefferson City.

As a member of the Executive Committee, Singletary will have responsibility for developing the association’s annual work plan, budget and monitoring its operating policies. The Executive Committee consists of 12 members and

The Ladies Aid met this Thursday with our faithful four, Maybelle, Sally, Bobby Jo and Zella busy quilting on the present quilt they have in frames. It is an older quilt top and no one knows what the design is in. It is partially pieced by hand and some by machine. Pauline and Viola worked at cleaning up and misc. We are having a big problem with the flies again this fall. They are just everlasting even after we have “bombed” countless times. They just love the big windows in the east and west. Mary Puzzo, Lynette Foster, Connie Zorn, Shirley Bay and Virginia Dean came to help us enjoy a great lunch and a beautiful day. Our Sunday Church service was a little odd. We had an unknown and undetected and unwanted smelly visitor to greet us at the door when we came. We had church out in the pavillion. Smell was gone the next day? Maybelle Hoff went to Springfield to the doctor on Friday. Needed some tests done to determine what is causing her problems. Praying the changes made will help her to feel better. If you do not attend church anywhere or would like to visit, we would love to have you. Sunday morning service is at 9:30 a.m. Everyone is invited to join us. Please send me any news at rjhenry40@hotmail.com and I will gladly put it in the paper.
Fern M. Hunt Steven Mitchell, and Jace Ward; eight great-grandchildren, and a host of other family and friends. Elliott was raised in the Godfrey, IL area. He worked as a welder for National Marine for many years and later relocated to Missouri. He loved being in the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He also enjoyed sewing, crocheting, quilting, and reading but no matter where he was or what he was doing, Elliott always had the radio on playing his favorite music. A prayer from Elliott entitled, “God In My Heart” Dear Heavenly Father: Help me to live my life as a preparation for life in my eternal home. Let love pervade my spirit to such an extent that others can see that God is in my heart and then may they worship you also. Give me wisdom that I may know the way you’d have me go. Help me to have patience when things are going wrong. Remind me that there is a time for all things, even sorrow and trouble. May I always do the kind thing even though those around me are surrendering to hate, prejudice, or revenge. Let me overcome evil with good. Strengthen my hope that it may become faith, steadfast and sure, that you are my personal friend, rejoicing in my happiness and comforting me in sorrow. Never leaving me lonely, you are only as far away as my lips that pray and my heart that worships you. Amen. Elliott will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Tigers lose big on Rocky Top, host Arkansas in finale by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist For three quarters Missouri hung tough at Tennessee, trading touchdowns in an offense-dominated game. But in the fourth quarter the Tigers (3-8, 1-6 in SEC play) buckled, and the Volunteers rapidly turned the game into a blowout. By the end of the game, Missouri had lost 6337. Missouri had shown modest progress, looking competitive in a road loss at South Carolina and beating Vanderbilt. The Tigers kept that going on offense at Tennessee, but that progress yielded to red-faced defensive embarrassment after night fell at the massive Neyland Stadium. Missouri only trailed 3530 early in the fourth quarter, but Tennessee then poured on touchdowns on three straight drives. The Volunteers (8-4, 4-3 in SEC) added an interception return for a touchdown. The Tigers racked up 740 yards of offense, including a ridiculous 420 rushing yards. And yet, Missouri lost by 26. How do you pull off that nimble feat? Well, Missouri gave up 609 yards of offense to Tennessee, and then Missouri had four turnovers to zero for Tennessee. Ballgame. But for good measure, the Tigers had two turnovers on downs after failed fourth down attempts. One of those was easily in field goal range, but reflected the struggles within the Missouri kicking game. Freshman Demarea Crockett racked up 225 rushing yards on just 24 carries, and Ish Witter added 163 yards on 31 carries. But the Tigers can’t overcome a minus-four turnover differential. Missouri’s up-tempo offense does the defense no favors, and if nothing else it means more total plays and possessions for a defense to possibly give up points and yards. But even factoring
that in, Missouri’s defensive struggles this year have been alarming. Missouri now has eight losses for the first time since going 3-8 in 2000, Larry Smith’s last year. To avoid losing nine games for the first time since 1989, the Tigers need to win their finale. For that finale, Missouri hosts Arkansas in the Battle Line Rivalry game on Friday (1:30 p.m. on CBS). The Razorbacks (7-4, 3-4 in SEC) have hung tough in the rugged SEC West this season. Arkansas can finish tied for fourth in the West with a win. The Razorbacks are coming off a fine offensive performance of their own, racking up 661 yards of offense

attempting to rush and complete high-cost, politically-driven regulations written by Washington bureaucrats bent on cementing this President’s legacy as one of the most liberal anti-business Administrations in our country’s history. In a final attempt to implement his out of touch agenda, the exact thing the American people overwhelmingly rejected just last week, President Obama is attempting to use what are called “Midnight Rules” to usher through last minute federal regulations. During the final months of a presidential administration, the outgoing administration can achieve certain policy goals by practicing “midnight rulemaking” to create cumbersome and costly regulations that often go unchallenged by Congress. We expect over 50 potential midnight regulations could be rushed out, EACH of which

Registration will begin on race day at 7:30 a.m. The 1 mile will begin at 8:30 a.m., and the 5K will start at approximately 9 a.m. Awards will be given to the
top overall male and female runners as well as the top 3 in each age division in the 5K. The top 10 overall finishers in the 1 mile run and 1 mile walk will receive an award. All other finishers in the Kids Run will receive a ribbon. T-shirts will be given to anyone who registers before December 1 and the first
twenty people who register on race day. Entry fees are $20 for the 5K and $10 for the 1 Mile. Proceeds will benefit the Bears for a Better Christmas Toy Drive. For more information, please contact Chris Waggoner at 417-469-4531 ext. 362.

From Page One could have an impact on the economy exceeding $100 million. But Congress has a message for the Obama Administration; NOT SO FAST Mr. President. Since President Obama took office, nearly 3,000 new regulations have been finalized, costing more than $850 billion. Under the Obama Administration, the number of pages in the Code of Federal Regulations has grown to a whopping 175,268, resulting in 563 million hours of paperwork. In fact, during Obama’s first five years in office alone, federal agencies added 17,522 pages of regulations, averaging a staggering 3,504 per year. The worst part of this is how much these regulations are costing hardworking Americans across the country. On average, federal regulations under the Obama Administration cost $15,000 per American household every year.
Americans simply cannot afford anymore regulations – they are suffocating our economy. That is why I was proud to support legislation this week that will stop the Obama Administration from continuing to harm hardworking Americans. The Midnight Rules Relief Act, passed by the House of Representatives will prohibit the use of midnight rules, stopping President Obama’s last ditch efforts to fulfill floundering campaign promises. This bill amends the Congressional Review Act which has been in place since 1996, to allow Congress to disapprove multiple rules with one vote as opposed to only one rule at a time. The Congressional Review Act gives Congress 60 legislative days to review and override major regulations enacted by federal agencies of the outgoing administration. This act was passed 20 years ago and was used successfully by the Bush Administration in 2001 to dismantle the lame duck Clinton Administration from implementing the ergonomics rule proposed under Clinton’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that was projected to cost upwards of $123 billion per year. The Midnight Rules Relief Act will strengthen the Congressional Review Act and is an important tool at our dis-
posal to continue to dismantle the Obama regulatory machine. This is the type of regulation reform that America deserves and is what’s needed to help pave the way for President-Elect Trump who has pledged to do what is necessary in order to unleash American potential. Hardworking Missourians have grown fed up with out of control government bureaucracy and red tape. Farmers and business owners are now spending more time complying with regulations written by a bureaucrat who has never set foot on a farm or signed the front of a paycheck than tending to their land, growing their business or hiring American workers. When I met with Vice President-Elect Mike Pence this week, the top of his list was how the new administration is going to work to find real solutions to the most important issues facing hardworking Americans. The Obama Administration’s top-down, big-government, Washington-knows-best approach to government over the past 8 years is finally coming to an end. I look forward to working with the incoming Trump Administration to put our country back on track by delivering meaningful solutions that actually address the real problems Americans are facing.

the TCMH Employee Health Fair on October 28th. “We want our students to be experienced in a variety of healthcare situations. We think that the best way to equip them with the skills necessary for the workforce is to allow them various su-pervised healthcare experiences during their education,” said Christy Henry, Practical Nursing Coordinator at TCTC. This learning approach, coupled with a desire to be directly involved in our local community, is how we believe students can best succeed. In early September, LPN students were asked to assist the Houston public school nurses with routine health screenings for each student. The physical screenings included height, weight, den-tal, vision, and hearing checks. Some of the LPN students were responsible for carrying out the physical checks, while others were responsible for guiding the elementary and high school stu-dents through the process, ensuring that they stopped at every station. On October 13th, LPN students helped out at the Golden Age Games, an event where district nursing homes come together to compete against each other in a spirited, fun-loving contest. Some of the events included cow milking and hog calling. TCTC’s LPN students helped judge the contests, helped with resident care, and provided support in a variety of ways. TCTC’s nurs-ing education staff said this was an experience that would hopefully lend to the LPNs becoming well-rounded
healthcare providers by seeing multiple sides to healthcare for the elderly. On October 28th, LPN students assisted with healthcare routines during the TCMH Employee Health Fair. Students assisted with checking blood pressure, vision and hearing; additionally, they administered flu vaccines. With three community events taking place during their first se-mester in nursing school, TCTC’s hope is that their LPN students will stay involved in the com-munity well after their educational careers are complete. Constant learning is an invaluable part of a healthcare professional’s improvement, and TCTC hopes each student will continually broaden the spectrum of healthcare situations each experiences. TCTC is currently accepting applications for the May 2017 Accelerated LPN to RN program, and applicants must be licensed practical nurses to apply. The admissions staff at TCTC recommends applying as early as possible. Two prerequisite courses, Composition and Introduction to Psychology, and one general education course for the program may be available beginning in January 2017. This allows new nursing students the opportunity to get one of the general courses out of the way so they can lighten the course load for future semesters when the core nursing classes are in progress. To apply, students may drop by TCTC’s campus at 6915 S. Hwy 63 in Houston or call (417) 967-5466.

Thyroid Disorders Often Missed in Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on the overlooked problem of thyroid disease? After struggling with chronic fatigue, joint pain and memory problems, I was finally diagnosed hypothyroidism. Now, at age 70, I’m on thyroid medication and am doing great. Five years of feeling lousy. I wish I’d have known. Frustrated Patient Dear Frustrated, I’m glad to hear that you’re finally feeling better. Unfortunately, thyroid problems are quite common in older adults but can be tricky to detect because the symptoms often resemble other age related health problems. In fact, as many as 30 million Americans have some form of thyroid disorder, but more than half of them aren’t aware of it. Here’s a basic overview: The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck that has a huge job. It produces hormones (called T3 and T4) that help regulate the rate of many of your body’s activities, from how quickly you burn calories to how fast your heart beats. It also influences the function of the brain, liver, kidneys and skin. If the gland is underactive and doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, it causes body systems to slow down. If it’s overactive, and churns out too much thyroid, it has the opposite effect, speeding up the body’s processes. The symptoms for an underactive thyroid (also known as hypothyroidism) – the most common thyroid disorder in older adults – will vary but may include fatigue, unexplained weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, joint pain, muscle stiffness, dry skin and depression. Some patients may even develop an enlarged thyroid (goiter) at the base of the neck. However, in older adults, it can cause other symptoms like memory impairment, loss of appetite, weight loss, falls or even incontinence. And the symptoms of an overactive thyroid (or hyperthyroidism), which is more common in people under age 50, may include a rapid heart rate, anxiety, insomnia, increased appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, excessive perspiration, as well as an enlarged thyroid gland. Too much thyroid can also cause atrial fibrillation, affect blood pressure and decrease bone density, which increases the risk of osteoporosis. Those with the greatest risk of developing thyroid disorders are women who have a family history of the disease. Other factors that can trigger thyroid problems include: autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s or Graves disease; thyroid surgery; radiation treatments to the neck or upper chest; and certain medications including interferon alpha and interleukin-2 cancer medications, amiodarone heart medication and lithium for bipolar disorder. Get Tested If you have any of the aforementioned symptoms, or if you’ve had previous thyroid problems or notice a lump in the base of your neck, ask your doctor to check your thyroid levels. The TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) blood test is used to diagnosis thyroid disorders. Thyroid disease is easily treated once you’ve been diagnosed. Standard treatment for hypothyroidism involves daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine (Levothroid, Synthroid and others), which is an oral medication that restores adequate hormone levels. And treatments for hyperthyroidism may include an anti-thyroid medication such as methimazole (Tapazole), which blocks the production of thyroid hormones. Another option is radioactive iodine, which is taken orally and destroys the overactive thyroid cells and causes the gland to shrink. But this can leave the thyroid unable to produce any hormone and it’s likely that you’ll eventually become hypothyroid and need to start taking thyroid medication.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that it collected approximately 19,200 tissue samples for chronic-wasting-disease (CWD) testing from this past weekend’s mandatory sampling efforts at 75 stations in 29 counties in and around where the fatal deer disease has been found in northeast, central, and east-central Missouri. The Department’s goal was 18,000 – 20,000 tissue sam-
ples collected. Department staff will send the collected tissue samples to an outside laboratory that specializes in wildlife disease testing. MDC expects test results to begin being available in 4-6 weeks. Hunters can get free test results for their harvested deer online at mdc.mo.gov/CWDtestresults. “Thank you to the thousands of hunters who made this effort successful by
bringing their deer in for CWD testing -- and for the golden opportunity to listen to their stories and share in their excitement about their harvests,” said MDC Director Sara Parker Pauley. “And thank you to the dozens of local businesses and organizations who provided facilities and services for this monumental effort. I also want to express my appreciation to Department staff and volunteers for their incredi-
MDC thanks hunters for help in collecting 19,200 samples ble work this past weekend.” Pauley added, “As we get the final test results back in the coming weeks, we will be evaluating our next steps in our CWD management efforts, including future testing efforts in the CWD management zone and around the state.” Hunters who harvest deer throughout the rest of the hunting season in the 29 counties of the CWD management zone can still have
their deer tested for the disease. Contact the MDC Central Regional Office in Columbia at 573-815-7900, the MDC Northeast Regional Office in Kirksville at 660785-2420, or the MDC St. Louis Regional Office in St. Charles at 636-441-4554. Hunters can also find voluntary CWD sampling stations at mdc.mo.gov/CWD. Chronic wasting disease is a deadly deer disease that has been found in 33
free-ranging deer in northeast, central, and east-central Missouri. According to MDC wildlife-disease experts, chronic wasting disease has the potential to greatly reduce deer numbers, deer health, and deer hunting in Missouri. CWD could also hurt the many Missouri families and businesses that rely on deer hunting. For more information, visit mdc.mo.gov/ CWD.
