WP man arrested for sexual assault A West Plains man has been charged with four counts of statutory sodomy Jeffrey S. Headrick after an investigation into the alleged abuse of a 12-month-old, 4-year-old and a 6-year-old. According to reports a male and female subject (parents of the victims) reported that their roommate, identified as Jeffrey Scott Headrick had sexually assaulted their infant
daughter, age 12 months on June 5, 2015 while in their home located on Lanton Road within the city limits of West Plains. As a result, Headrick was asked to move out of the residence immediately. Once Headrick had left the residence the parents other two children, ages 4 and 6, also reported that Headrick had sexually assaulted each of them in the past as well. The parents reported that their home had been burglarized and named Headrick as a suspect in that matter as well. The sexual assault was then reported to
the Child Abuse Hotline by the reporting officer. On June 10, 2015 officers with the West Plains Police Department were contacted by Missouri Children’s Division Investigator in regards to the incident. The investigators met with the parents at their residence on Lanton Road. The father reported that on June 5, 2015 he exited his bedroom and observed Headrick sexually assaulting his 12-month-old daughter while in their living room. The father told Headrick he didn’t ever want to see him do that again and kicked him

If defense wins championships, the Liberty Eagles look like a contender. On Friday night in the second round of Districts, Liberty’s defense gave up exactly zero yards rushing to the Strafford Indians, forced five turnovers, and the special teams recovered two onside kicks as the Eagles avenged last year’s loss to Strafford, and this year’s loss to the Indians in volleyball, by handing Strafford’s football

team a 47-6 defeat at the Nest in Mountain View. The Eagles improved to 11-0 on the season after jumping out to a 34-0 lead in the first half, before adding a touchdown in the third and fourth quarters. Most of the yards came through the air for both teams. Josh Pruett finished the night completing 13 of 23 passes for 234 yards and five touchdowns, while Strafford’s Chanler Collins completed 17 of 25 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown. It was one of the few positive outcomes of the night for the Indians who were dominated at the line of scrimmage by a Liberty defense that sacked Collins five times in the first half alone, and held running back Jacob Eden, who came into the game with over 1300 yards rushing, to just seven for the entire game. The defense wasn’t just making stops, they were causing turnovers. Lots of them. For the game, Liberty intercepted Chanler once, and recovered four fumbles, giving the offense great field position most of the night. Liberty only totaled 362 yards for the night, but they rarely needed to go very far to score. Pruett threw touchdown passes to four different receivers, hitting Andrew Raider, Xander Marshall, and Brenton Bush for scores in the first half, and passing to Max Rudolph for a 9-touchdown in the second. Pruett also ran for two touchdowns. Offensively, Liberty’s rushing attack was held mostly See Football on Page 2

Football in check, grinding out 128 yards for the game. Marcos Rodriguez got the lions share with 87 yards on 12 carries. Koel Orchard chipped in 13 yards on six carries, while Pruett got the rest. Bush led the receivers with 86 yards for the game, getting 50 of those yards on a nice catch and run for a first-quarter touchdown. Raider finished the night with 58 yards, while Marshall and Rudolph finished with 46 and 44 yards respectively. It was just too much offense for the Indians to keep up with. Strafford’s powerful attack was not only hampered this year by the loss of 19 seniors from last season, but they ran into a Liberty defense that blew up their plays repeatedly in the first half. The Indians first half rushing total was a nightmare worthy of Halloween at -34 yards. That’s minus -34. By the end of the game, the Indians got it back up to zero. By that
From Page One time, the Eagles were cruising to a 47-6 victory. The victory sends the Eagles into the District championship against the Fair Grove Eagles, this Friday at the Nest. Fair Grove (8-3) defeated Diamond 39-7 last week and arrives in Mountain View as yet another rematch for the Eagles against teams that have previously ended the Eagles’ season. At press time, Friday night’s game was predicted to have better weather, which should help the field. The Nest has seen four consecutive games, including several in less than ideal weather conditions. If the Eagles keep winning, Liberty will play two more games at home –this Friday against Fair Grove, and the following week against Lamar. The condition of the field has led the Eagles to adjust their practices to give the more torn up portions of the grass a chance to recover. Not that adjusting practices
MO hosts No. 24 Mississippi State in Thursday night game by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist On the surface it may not make a lot of sense, but Missouri’s Thursday night home game with No. 24 Mississippi State (8 p.m. on ESPN) has something of a biggame feel to it. Sure, after back-to-back SEC East Division titles and two seasons worth of big games, the Tigers have stumbled to 4-4 and 1-4 in SEC play, sitting at sixth in the division. And yes, the offense is a disaster, statistically among the worst in the nation, failing to score a touchdown for three straight games for the first time since the Great Depression. Depressing, indeed. To add a little dose of shame to the struggles, Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk was suspended for the remainder of the season. This came after a comically short reinstatement. And yet, here comes a ranked team into Columbia in Mississippi State (6-2, 2-2 in SEC) with a Heisman Trophy contender in Dak Prescott, quite possibly the best quarterback in the conference. It’s in ESPN’s prime Thursday night showcase time slot. Last time Missouri played an ESPN Thursday nighter was the 2009 rain game against Nebraska, when a power outage kept the public address system from working, the rain fell relentlessly, and the Huskers rallied to beat Missouri. Like this year, that 2009 season was a step back after two division title seasons. The question on Tiger fans’ minds right now is just how far back this year’s team is going to slip. Will they make a bowl game?
After the desperation-inducing loss to Vanderbilt, will they win another game? Clawing into a bottom-tier bowl is nothing for the alumni to brag about, but it’s more about avoiding the shame of not making a bowl at all. Missouri needs two wins in its last four games to go bowling. The last two opponents, Tennessee and Arkansas, seem to be getting better as the season rolls on. On Nov. 14, Missouri plays in Arrowhead Stadium against BYU, a physical and competitive team. In short, this home game against Mississippi State is a big one for Missouri’s bowl chances. Which takes us back to the weird intrigue of this game. Even if they don’t win, the Tigers need to show some life. They need to compete. They need some leaders to step up, or risk this being a totally lost season. Mississippi State is about a touchdown favorite in the game to open the week. The Bulldogs’ maroon-clad fans traditionally clang cowbells in support of their team, so Tiger fans have that racket to look forward to. Mississippi State has a pretty good defense, allowing just 17.8 yards per game. The Bulldogs’ offense is more dependent on the pass, with the duel-threat Prescott also leading the team in rushing yards. He threw for 348 yards and was responsible for six touchdowns in an Oct. 24 rout of Kentucky. Given Missouri’s recent struggles, winning this one is a tall order. But the late kickoff should make for a jacked up crowd, which could give the Tigers a much-needed boost.
has affected the scoreboard as the Strafford Indians discovered. Liberty’s defensive line destroyed the Indians on their first possession, sacking Collins and dropping Eden for a loss on third down. After the punt, Liberty’s offense went to work with an 11-yard carry by Pruett for a first-down. A seven-yard pass to Raider, and a run by Rodriguez gave the Eagles another first-down at the Indians 13-yard line. Two plays later Pruett had a chance to hit Bush for a score, but Bush was held at the line of scrimmage and the officials let it go. That forced a fourth down, but this time Raider got free in the end-zone and Pruett
hit him for a 10-yard score. Liberty led 6-0 after a missed extra point. The Eagles defensive line drove the Indians backwards again, forcing another punt. Liberty wasted no time as Pruett passed to Rudolph for a first down at the Indians’ 37-yard line. For a moment, it seemed the Eagles drive would stall, but on fourth and seven, Pruett rolled out and found Xander Marshall wideopen downfield for a 33-yard touchdown. Liberty converted the two-point conversion for a 14-0 lead with 4:45 left in the first quarter. The first turnover of the night for Strafford quickly
resulted in another Eagles’ touchdown. After recovering an onside kick at the 50 yard line, the Eagles broke the game open on the next play when Bush took a wide-receiver screen the distance for a 21-0 lead. Liberty recovered a second onside kick on the next play and took over on offense for the third time in a row. This time, the Indians defense held, and Liberty punted. Strafford took over at their own 10-yard line. It was a dangerous place to be considering the success of the Liberty defense. Collins passed to Kensen White for six yard on first-down, but another sack of Collins forced
another punt. It nearly resulted in another touchdown for the Eagles after Raider returned the punt to the 15-yard line setting up the Eagles with another short field. Two plays later Pruett found Raider in the end-zone for a score and a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter. Collins began to find his receivers as Strafford drove into Liberty territory for the first time, but the Eagles continued to stuff the Indians’ running game and the Strafford drive fizzled. The next drive for the Indians ended in disaster as the Eagles forced a fumble and took over at the Indians eightyard line. A six-yard gain by Rodriguez, and a two-yard run around the left side by Pruett gave the Eagles a 34-0 halftime lead. The Indians found some momentum in the third quarter, using screen passes to slow down the Liberty pass rush. Chanler passed to White for an 11-yard touchdown to cut the Liberty lead to 34-6 with 7:18 left in the third quarter. Liberty answered, driving into Strafford territory. Bush got wide-open in the middle of the field, catching a pass from Pruett and racing 33-yards to the 11-yard line of the Indians. Pruett hit Rudolph in the corner of the end-zone for a 41-6 lead. Turnovers that short-circuited the Indians, and a final touchdown in the fourth quarter on a run by Pruett made the final score 47-6 as the Gone! Brenton Bush (8) hauls in a pass and races downfield against the Indians. Eagles advanced once again to Bush took a screen pass 50-yards for a score, and caught another 33-yard pass from the District Championship. Pruett.

'The Elves and the Shoemaker' in West Plains Nov. 13 The Imaginary Theatre Company of the St. Louis Repertory Theatre will bring its production of “The Elves and the Shoemaker” to the West Plains Civic Center stage for a 7 p.m. performance Nov. 13.

When he sees a cold, hungry beggar woman, he happily gives his only remaining pair of shoes to her to keep her bare feet warm. The woman promises the shoemaker he will be rewarded for his good deed. Rewarded he is when, unexpectedly, elves magically appear overnight and create well-made shoes everyone wants to buy, turning his simple shoe shop into a great success.

New Budget Cuts Affect Vulnerable Missourians
On Oct. 19, the governor announced some troubling news for many of our state’s most at-risk citizens. As part of a move to balance the budget for Fiscal Year 2016, the governor has called for the restriction of $46.1 million in General Revenue funding – effectively cutting off the flow of much-needed money into programs and services that impact the elderly, the mentally ill, children and other vulnerable groups. This withholding of funds from those who need it most is not only unacceptable, it is also unnecessary. This year’s state revenue has been high and the budget currently has $325 million in unspent surplus. Why, then, is funding being taken from these important programs that are supposed to improve the lives of Missourians who need the state’s help? The governor claims he has made efforts to minimize the impact the budget cuts will have, though I believe these words ring empty. The budget cuts do not need to be made in the first place as the funding withheld from them could simply be generated from the state’s surplus instead. Here are just a few of the programs that will be affected or canceled due to these withholdings, as well as the amount withheld from each. Nursing facilities provider rate increase – Funding withheld: $3,373,442 In home services provider rate increase – Funding withheld: $2,852,991 Comprehensive psychiatric services provider rate increase – Funding withheld: $2,031,432 DD community programs provider rate increase – Funding withheld: $3,455,430 Medicaid Physician – Funding withheld: $2,5000,000 Community Health Access Programs (CHAPs) – Funding withheld: $1,250,000 Rural Health Clinic Dental – Funding withheld: $500,000 Missouri Area Health Education Centers – Funding withheld: $250,000 Juvenile Officer Pilot Program – Funding withheld: $210,541 I am deeply troubled by the governor’s announcement and am concerned about the future of these, and many more, programs that help better the lives of at-risk Missourians. I believe that the 2016 budget should be balanced by allocating this year’s surplus funds, rather than withholding money used to fund programs that help those who need it most. While I would never promote the unnecessary spending of surplus dollars simply because they are available, I do condone using the excess in an equitable and appropriate manner in order to save at-risk citizens from having to suffer the cost. I would never pointlessly deprive my constituents of the aid they need and deserve, and I strongly disagree with the governor’s irresponsible stewardship of surplus funds. I will continue to fight for the thousands of Missourians who will have to bear the brunt of this senseless decision. 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.
A Bad Budget for Farmers
Since you sent me to Washington, I have looked carefully at each piece of legislation that was brought for a vote. Each time, I look at how it would impact the hardworking folks of southeast and southern Missouri. Next, I look to see if the legislation was crafted fairly, and if it upholds the traditions and values of our area. Given the rushed nontransparent process around this week's budget bill, I wasn't surprised when I opened page one and found a bad deal for hardworking taxpayers and farmers. The only reasonable option was to vote no. This budget deal sets the spending levels for government agencies for the next two years. It sets a new baseline which blows up the sequester caps and increases spending by over $80 billion. As the owner of our family farm, I know that in business we can’t keep increasing lines of credit without reforms or changes to make the business more sustainable. Washington needs to operate the same way. We need people making these decisions who have experience signing the front of the check, not just the back. It was a huge disappointment that this bill failed to live up to the open and fair process that was promised to the American people. The budget bill was released to the public and to members of Congress a little over 36 hours before the vote. That is unacceptable. Unlike bills that follow the proper path, these 144 pages were not studied by a committee and did not allow for conversations between members or input from families from around the country. One of the most devastating parts of the bill is the cut to crop insurance. Farmers are already having a tough go; net farm income is projected to drop 53 percent from 2013 to 2015. Government should be making it easier to get ahead, not harder. The government is squeezing crop insurance providers so much that they may no longer be able to stay in business. If that happens, the government would step in, effectively setting up a government takeover of crop insurance. The bill passed despite my opposition, and I am working tirelessly to get this fixed. Folks rightfully expect Congress to fund America’s priorities, but this budget deal does not help people get ahead. It creates more problems that we are going to have fix down the road. We have a long way to go, but I am fighting every day for the people I represent and to make government work for you, not against you.

'The Diary of Anne Frank' at the Star During World War II countless lives were lost to Adolf Hitler’s thirst for power. His destructive grasp was far reaching making the world shutter in fear. And in a place called Amsterdam Holland, a Jewish family, the Franks, found a hiding place in an attic over a shop. For over two years the Franks along with the Van Daan family, hid spending their days in silence and stillness to
escape the Nazi regime. The youngest Frank girl, Anne, kept a diary of their time together. On November 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22, the Star Dramatic Company will present their story on stage at the Star Theater in Willow Springs. With a talented cast and an amazing set provided by Wendy and Avery Parker, 'The Diary of Anne Frank', directed by Craig Fowler, promises to
be an incredibly poignant and moving experience. So, make plans now to join the SDC at the Star Theater for The Diary of Anne Frank.

How to Choose a Good Nursing Home Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me some tips on picking a good nursing home for my mother who has Alzheimer’s disease? I’ve been taking care of her at home, but she’s gotten to the point where she’s too much for me to handle. Overwhelmed Daughter Dear Overwhelmed, Choosing a good nursing home for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease is a very important decision that requires careful evaluation and some homework. Here are some steps that can help you find a good facility and avoid a bad one. Make a list: There are several sources you can turn to for referrals to nursing homes in your area: Your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 for contact information); your mom’s doctor or nearby hospital discharge planner; or friends, family or neighbors who may have had a loved one in a nursing home. Ideally, the nursing homes should be close to family members and friends who can visit often, because residents with frequent visitors usually get better care. Compare nursing homes: To research and compare the nursing homes on your list, use Medicare’s nursing home compare tool at medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare. This tool provides a 5-star rating system on recent health inspections, staffing, quality of care, and overall rating. You should also contact your local long-term care ombudsman. This is a government official who investigates nursing home complaints and can tell you which ones have had problems in the past. To find your local ombudsman, call your Area Agency on Aging or see ltcombudsman.org. Contact the facilities: Once you’ve narrowed your search, call the nursing homes you’re interested in to verify that they have a dementia unit that can facilitate your mom’s needs. Also, find out if they have any vacancies, what they charge, and if they accept Medicaid. Tour your top choices: During your nursing home visit, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the residents and their family members, if available. It’s also a good idea to visit several times at different times of the day and different days of the week to get a broader perspective. Also, find out about their staff screening (do they do background checks) and training procedures, staff-to-patient ratio, and the staff turnover rate. To help you rate your visit, Medicare offers a helpful checklist of questions to ask at medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/ checklist.pdf, as does the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org/ visitinganursinghome.pdf. Print these lists from your computer and take them with you on your visit. Paying for care: With nursing home costs now averaging $250 per day nationally for a private room, paying for care is another area you may have questions about or need assistance with. Medicare only helps pay up to 100 days of rehabilitative nursing home care, which must occur after a hospital stay. Most nursing home residents pay for care from either personal savings, a long-term care insurance policy, or through Medicaid once their savings are depleted. The National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care Information website (longtermcare.gov) is a good resource that can help you understand and research your financial options. You can also get help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free counseling on all Medicare and Medicaid issues. To find a local SHIP counselor visit shiptacenter. org, or call 800-677-1116. For more information, see Medicare’s online booklet “Your Guide to Choosing a Nursing Home” at medicare.gov/ publications/pubs/pdf/02174.pdf. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

LPN coordinator states, “Each nursing class is different from year to year. Our staff was impressed with this class throughout the tough 12 month program because of their dedication and tenacity. All of the hard
work, long hours, tears, and stress paid off when the class earned the distinction of achieving a 100% pass rate on the NCLEX-PN on the first attempt. The members of the PN graduating class of 2015 will each be an asset
to the nursing profession.” TCTC’s next LPN program begins in fall of 2016. TCTC is now accepting applications for the upcoming program. Call 417-967-5466 for more information.

110 hospitals participate in National Emergency Response Training program Dennise Lawson, Director of Emergency Preparedness at Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) joined more than 110 hospital preparedness professionals from throughout Missouri in a week-long intensive training program at the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Ala. The attendees participated in one of three core programs: Healthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty
Incidents, Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents and Emergency Medical Operations for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Incidents. The training culminated Friday, Oct. 23, in a simulated catastrophic accident where all attending disciplines could engage in response, simultaneously. “This was a very worthwhile training event. The information will be used to evaluate and improve our current Emergency Operation Plan and procedures,” Lawson said. The training took place at the Noble Training Facility — the only hospital in the nation dedicated solely to training. The facility includes an emergency department, emergency operations center, intensive care unit, isolation wards and other facilities and equipment typically found in a hospital. The responders train as if they were staff members in the facility to develop the skills needed to respond to a patient surge. The culminating exercise adds additional complicating factors, such as contamination. Missouri’s hospitals have invested in improved readiness for more than a decade. Most hospital preparedness training occurs during normal hospital operations, which limits the ability of participants to use the entire facility. The CDP provides unique, hands-on training without the constraints of practical inhospital training or table-top exercises. Readiness is an essential component of hospitals’ value to the communities they serve. Hospitals’ ability to manage during a natural or man-made disaster helps support community resiliency and recovery. In addition, readiness planning, built on the incident command system, is transferable among many types of emergency and disaster events. Training for all hazards is the foundation of Missouri hospitals’ investment in preparedness.

Livestock forage utilization, poisonous plants seminar Nov. 12 University of Missouri Extension is hosting a Seminar on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at our new office location, 1376 Bill Virdon Blvd. (next to Hero’s Coffee). The seminar will begin at 6 p.m. Pre-paid registration of $5 per person is requested. Guest speakers will be Dr. Randy Wiedmeier, Livestock Specialist and Sarah Kenyon, Agronomy Specialist. Dr. Wiedmeier will discuss LowQuality Forage Utilization by Livestock. “This year we have been blessed with an abundance of hay but, unfortunately much of it is of fairly low quality. We can sustain our livestock on these low-quality forages but, proper supplementation programs are imperative. Items to consider when making decisions regarding
supplements for livestock being fed low-quality forages will be presented.” said, Dr. Randy Wiedmeier. Sarah Kenyon, Agronomy Specialist, will present information on controlling weeds in pastures. The information presented will focus on the seven deadliest plants to livestock. Other information on troublesome weeds will also be discussed. Ample rain in 2015 provided for good growing conditions, unfortunately, those same conditions allowed some problematic weeds to flourish. To pre-register or for more information or to preregister, please contact the Howell County Extension Center at 417-256-2391. Deadline to pre-register is Wednesday, November 11, 2015.
were selected through an application process and will be allowed to use centerfire rifles in accordance with Missouri hunting regulations to take two deer each. Managed deer hunts help the National Park Service improve the overall health of the Big Spring deer herd. The Big Spring area has generally been managed as a “no hunting” zone since the days when it was a wildlife refuge within Big Spring State Park. In 2011, park resource management staff implemented a study within the Big Spring area to estimate deer abundance and establish baseline information for population management. Results of this study confirmed the deer population density has grown to a level that could have negative impacts on park resources and the health of the deer. Portions of the Big Spring area will be temporarily closed November 7 and 8 to ensure public safety during the Wounded Warrior managed deer hunt. This includes Peavine Road, the Big Spring hiking trails, the Big Spring campground, the Peavine pavilion, and the

I’m proud of the efforts put forth by our National Park Service staff and the outpouring of support from the local community to make this an unforgettable experience for our veterans. We hope visitors will be understanding about the temporary closure of the Big Spring area for this purpose.” For more information, visit the park’s Facebook

to the microphone to voice opposition to the program. Most of the concerns dealt with the loss of tax revenue to Oregon County and the fact that 20% of the county is already owned by the federal and state government. No one spoke in favor of the proposal. As questions and comments arose at the meeting over failure of ample time given for public comment or notification to local officials, locals reflected back to the Camp Zoe ‘land grab’ in Shannon County where many of the same feelings were shared. Shannon County much like Oregon County, is made up of a large amount of public owned property. The land grab located near the Current River, has received a significant portion of $40 million allocated last year in funds for state park maintenance. The property now owned by the government will not be subject to personal property or real estate taxes and was another transaction described as being ‘kept in the dark’ to locals and elected officials. Shannon and Oregon Counties already lose out on collecting property taxes on government owned land, which impacts school budgets, and local families who may not feel the immediate impact but over time suffer. It is speculated that the government will spend somewhere around 60 million, for the once Camp Zoe acreage, on restorationdesign into the state park. Comments of lack of maintenance across the state at parks were shared among concerns along with the closing of access points and roads to limit public access. Government control was a huge concern expressed by attendees.
