Troop G to hold sobriety checkpoint Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a sobriety checkpoint will be held in Howell County sometime in the month of December. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with area law enforcement, will conduct the checkpoint. Sobriety checkpoints are part of the Patrol’s efforts to remove careless and impaired drivers from Missouri’s highways. This enforcement operation will be conducted at a location which has been found to experience a higher than normal number of alcohol-related contacts, hazardous driving contacts, and traffic crashes. “The use of sobriety checkpoints enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways,” said Captain Inman. “Please, never drink and drive.” 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.”

Missouri’s weather forecast changes regularly, especially when winter is approaching. Depending on where you live in Missouri, the weather may be sunny, foggy, or include rain, hail, sleet, ice, or snow! The Missouri State Highway Patrol encourages motorists to plan ahead and drive safely or not at all during inclement weather. Winter weather will affect driving conditions and traffic patterns. Please remember to buckle up, stay alert, be courteous, and obey all traffic laws. Section 304.012 RSMo. directs motorists to exercise the highest degree of care while driving on Missouri’s roadways. When inclement weather hits, please adjust how you drive, so that you continue to “exercise the highest degree of care.” For instance: Stopping quickly in the winter on snow-covered or icy roads is next to impossible. Use care by increasing your following distance as you drive. Ask yourself if the speed you’re traveling is safe

Youth group to hold bake sale this Saturday A group of 4-5th graders will be holding a bake sale in front of Blimpies on Saturday, December 17 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Cookies, cakes, brownies, and other baked goods will be sold for donations. Most of these 4-5th graders attend T.E.A.M 4:12 on Wednesday nights at Mountain View Christian Church (MVCC). In October, some of the students attended the CIY SuperStart conference in St. Louis where they were challenged to hold a bake sale to support one of their church’s missions. The group decided to take the money raised at the bake sale and add it to the money
already being raised by the Sparks kids. Sparks is the ministry at MVCC that focuses on PreK-5th grade students. Sparks have been raising money to have a well drilled in a village in India. Many villages in India are without any type of water. Women and children must walk miles each day just to have water to use for cooking and drinking. Sparks have been collecting change in water bottles since September and have collected over $800 of the $2,500 needed for the village well. The 4-5th graders will be baking and decorating cookies Friday evening with the help of some wonderful ladies

The subcommittee, which included other judges and attorneys from around the state, met for over 18 months with a goal of developing common sense recommendations to improve the legal profession and administration of justice on behalf of all people. This past summer, the Board of Governors accepted the final committees’ reports, and referred all recommendations to the state bar’s Strategic Planning Committee for review and further action.

In his own words, President Obama stated “We can’t wait for Congress to do its job, so where they won’t act, I will” and over past 8 years, that’s exactly what he has done at the expense of the American people. With Obama’s self-proclaimed unconstitutional approach to going around Congress to push his own liberal agenda, it is no surprise that the last 8 years have been bad for rural America and the families who make their living off the land. President Obama has issued hundreds of new major regulations since taking office, each with an estimated cost to the American economy of $100 million or more. With out of-control agencies like the EPA and IRS, rural America has been impacted tremendously by the expansion of intrusive job-killing regulations under the Obama Administration. However, it is not enough to point to how much the Obama Administration has hurt rural America, the battle has been to stop his efforts and proactively fight for the people of southeast and south central Missouri. This year alone, I am proud to have led the charge on real initiatives that focus on reining in big government and providing relief for rural America and especially the farmers, ranchers, small business owners, and families that make up our community. My SCRUB Act was designed to remove outdated regulations and take an axe to the more than 175,000 pages of federal regulations on the books that are suffocating growth in this country. Also, after it was uncovered the IRS was spending over $500 million in collected user fees each year as a slush fund to implement Obamacare mandates instead of improving their service to taxpayers, I led the charge on the IRS Oversight While Eliminating Spending (OWES) Act to return those funds to taxpayers and was pleased my House colleagues approved the legislation in April. In July, two of my amendments aimed at reining in the Department of Interior and the out-of-control Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were adopted to prevent millions of taxpayer dollars from funding liberal propaganda supporting new EPA regulations and funding of radical environmental groups. I also have led the charge to make sure that not one penny is allocated to implement the disastrous Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. President-elect Trump’s commitment and passion to tear up so many of the regulations we have seen in the last 8 years is absolutely the right approach and because of the leadership I have taken to eliminate bureaucracy and red-tape I have been asked to work with the Trump Administration on this effort. I am compiling a list of agency rules and regulations that must be repealed so that true reform in Washington can be achieved and so that the farmers and families in our region can do what they do best - provide for themselves, the nation and the world. This list includes disastrous threats harming rural America like the WOTUS Rule, efforts to shut down the coal industry, restrictions on family farm and estate transfers, the Veterinary Feed Directive Rule which adds unnecessary burdens when trying to get feed for ones animals, and executive orders which have encouraged an influx in illegal and unchecked immigration. We also have additional hope with the selection of Oklahoma Attorney General Pruitt this week by President-elect Trump to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). His selection would be a win for rural America and a promising sign that relief from burdensome regulations created by the Obama Administration is coming in the near future. Pruitt shares my belief that the states should have more control, not the federal government. He will drastically shrink the imprint and size of the EPA and has been a leading legal opponent to the Obama Administrations war on coal and assault on farmers’ and ranchers water usage. He has argued against the Liberal agenda in local courts, state courts and the United States Supreme Court. I believe General Pruitt’s expertise will prove vitally important for advancing an aggressive agenda during the first 100 days of President-elect Trump’s administration. With people in leadership like Attorney General Pruitt who are committed to fighting for rural America and for states’ rights and against an intrusive bureaucracy led by the Obama Administration over the past 8 years, I am confident that the roots in rural America are going to be in a better position to take hold and grow. We have some digging out to do, but I along with the new Trump administration and Attorney General Pruitt are ready to bring the shovels and get to work.

Beulah Ethel Smith Bryant was born September 24, 1927, to Homer Albert Smith and Ethel Winnie Belew Smith.
She passed away in Springfield, Missouri, on November 29, 2016, at the age of 89 years. Beulah was preceded in death by her husband George, her parents, her sister Wanda, her son-in-law Mike, and brothers Lawrence and Ernest. Beulah grew up near Casto Valley in Shannon County Missouri, with her sister Wanda and six brothers, Lawrence, Earnest, Wayne, Merle, Harold, and Ronnie. Beulah had a variety of jobs after graduating from Summersville High School. She was a secretary in the Summersville Superintendent’s office, and spent some time in St. Louis working at a photo lab. After returning to Summersville, Beulah married her high school sweetheart, George David Bryant on March 23, 1947. Beulah and George both worked in Craig’s Chevrolet Garage where he was a parts manager and she was a bookkeeper. They lived just a few blocks from the garage with
their small growing family. Their relationship as a team at the Chevrolet Garage was only the beginning of their livelong personal and working partnership. They loved working on the family farm together where they raised their three children Shirley, Betty, and Steve. When the children were grown, the farm became a favorite hangout for the six grandchildren– Jamie, Jennifer, Peter, Luke, Joe, and Seth. The grandchildren have many fond memories of Mowo working in her kitchen until late hours in the night. They particularly enjoyed eating their favorite Mowo cookies and drinking sweet tea. George and Beulah also jointly purchased and operated the Summerville Auction which had been in Beulah’s family for many years prior. Many wonderful memories were made with the entire family during that time. As the great-grandchildren - Tyler, Adrianna, Ethan, Jourdain, Alexander, Connor, Joey, and Bryant began arriving, George and Beulah moved back into town and a new generation began making memories in the brick house on the corner of 5th and Main Street in Summersville. Many of those memories involved playing games with Mowo and drinking Dr Pepper from the extra refrigerator in the guest house. In March 2010, Beulah lost her beloved George and moved to an apartment at the Montclair Senior Living Community where she began the last
chapter of making memories with her family. She became actively involved in that community where she made many new friends and rekindled old relationships. It was at this point that the two most recent great-grandchildren—Roxie and Dawson added to her joy. All the grandchildren loved visiting her at the Montclair, and in the typical Mowo and Ba generous spirit, she always made sure that all the grands never walked out without a little extra money folded and placed in their hands for extra gas or toys. Her family and being a “Mowo,” as well as cooking, and quilting were her greatest passions. The things Beulah could do with her limited vision was an inspiration to us all. Beulah is survived by her daughter Shirley and husband Gary Whiteis of Springfield, daughter Betty Wojnowski of Montgomery, IL, and son Steve and wife Christy Mathes Bryant of Rolla, grandchildren, great grandchildren, brothers, brothers-in-law and sisters-in law. Beulah a.k.a Mowo, loved her family and community of friends who will all miss her! Funeral Services were held on Monday, December 5, 2016 at 11 a.m. at Bradford Funeral Home with Rev. Jerry Baylock and Jourdian Bagby officiating. Burial was in Summersville City Cemetery under the care of Bradford Funeral Home. Online condolences maybe left at bradfordfuneralhome.net

Bob and Pauline had Thanksgiving dinner at Bob and Elaine Greenan’s home with their family and then all the Henry family met at the home of Dale and Denise Henry on Saturday afternoon for another feast. It was great to have them all together again as well as friends. A real Blessing to be thankful for. They were only missing four who could not be present. It gets harder each year to gather the whole family but they look forward to it whenever possible. It is a busy world for all. Maybelle Hoff had Thanksgiving dinner with her daughter, Diane Wilbanks and husband Ron and grandson, Kevin from Utah. They all went to West Plains to dine out with Mike and his wife. Georgia and David Harris took Maybelle to Springfield to continue some tests that she needed to get her up to feeling better. We had Ladies Aid this last week but due to illness and appointments we were few in number. Those quilting were Sally Cooley, Zella Davis and Bobby Jo Taber working hard at quilting as Pauline Henry did whatever needed done. Connie Zorn came at noon to help and Bob Henry got there for lunch. Christmas is soon and families are beginning to have some of their’s early to get all the families together. Maybelle spent Saturday with Mike Hoff’s family in West Plains so Maybelle got to see some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren that she doesn’t get to see very often. She says it was just about too much and she is give out. We pray she will be her usual self soon. Bob and Pauline Henry are the proud grandparents of a new great-granddaughter.

She had a wonderful “Princess” party with stickers, coloring and play doh. Our sympathy and condolences to Maybelle Hoff on the loss of a grandson this week. We are praying for this family and the many others with loss and sickness. If you do not attend church anywhere or would like to visit, we would love to have you.

Walking is an essential transportation mode for many Missourians. For transit or motor vehicle users, every trip begins and ends as a pedestrian. Public health, economic and environmental factors are elevating the importance of this mode. Many citizens do not have access to a personal vehicle, are not physically capable of driving, simply decide not to drive, or delay licensure. To date, 83 pedestrians have been killed in Missouri traffic crashes this year. This equates to nearly 10 percent of all statewide traffic fatalities. “Motor vehicle crashes involving pedestrians don’t usually occur in extremely large numbers, but when a pedestrian is involved in a traffic crash, the potential for injury or death is much
greater,” said MoDOT’s Director of Highway Safety Bill Whitfield. “It’s imperative that drivers and pedestrians use extreme caution at all times,” he said. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety offers the following tips to help eliminate these tragic deaths. • Always stay inside a disabled vehicle if it is safe to do so, so the vehicle can protect you. The vehicle is much more visible to oncoming traffic than a pedestrian standing in the roadway. • Never walk distracted by texting, talking or using headphones. • Make yourself visible to motorists by wearing light colored clothing, and always make eye contact with drivers when possible. • Always use designated crosswalks and obey cross-
walk signals when available. • Motorists should slow down and move over for any vehicles stopped on the shoulder, and assume someone may be walking near that vehicle. • Use extra caution and expect the unexpected. Education to the general public about these dangers, and enforcement of traffic laws will help prevent pedestrian deaths. Engineering advancements such as design, lighting, installation of crosswalk signs, pavement markings, and mid-block crossing signals, are also being used statewide, along with new technological advancements. Roadway safety is everyone’s responsibility. To learn more, visit savemolives.com, or find them on social media at Save MO Lives.

When road conditions become slick from ice and snow the Patrol encourages motorists to refrain from driving unless absolutely necessary. Take the time to make sure the windows are completely cleared to ensure visibility. Clear your driveway so that your vehicle enters the roadway safely. Allow extra driving time for you to reach your destination at a slow, safe speed. Remember: Missouri law states if you’re using your windshield wipers, your headlights must be turned on. It takes only a second to turn on your vehicle’s headlights. That second could make you more visible to other drivers and prevent a traffic crash. If you have a cell phone, make sure it’s fully charged and with you when you travel. Please do not use your cell phone when you are driving; park your vehicle well off the roadway or in a parking lot before placing a call. The Missouri State Highway Patrol emergency number is 1-800-525-5555 (or *55 on a cellular phone). These numbers ring at the nearest troop headquarters. 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 wins two of three during busy stretch of games by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It’s a busy time of year and that goes for the Liberty Eagles as well. Liberty came away with two victories in three games last week, including back-to-back games against top-ranked teams. After crushing Summersville 88-17, the Eagles traveled to Eminence where they put the Redwings away in the fourth quarter 72-62, and lost a tough one the very next night at home against the Licking Wildcats under a downpour of foul calls. The week evened the Liberty Eagles season record to 4-4 as they continued to show improvement. “These guys are a lot of fun to coach,” explained Liberty Eagles Head Coach Yancey Walker, “They are a lot of fun to be around. I don’t ever feel like they’re not going to show up for game day. I don’t ever feel like they’re
not going to give their best effort. It’s just a process of getting better at the things we need to get better at so that we don’t have single digit losses to teams, no matter who they are.” The “who” was the Licking Wildcats, ranked second in the State in their class, and an opponent the Eagles will have to face again. The Wildcats handed Liberty their only loss last week, but there were plenty of bright spots. “In our grading system we actually graded out better than (Licking),” said Coach Walker, “But they shot quite a few more free throws. We’ve got to get better at showing our hands. We’ve got to get better at things like that. The tools are there, we just got to keep pressing forward with them.” The Wildcats sank 15 freethrows in the fourth quarter to hang on for the victory against an Eagles team that scored 20 points in the final eight minutes. Two Liberty

starters fouled out, and a technical foul was called against the Eagles when the referee mistakenly believed the Eagles Head Coach had directed a comment at him. Walker had in fact yelled an encouragement to one of his players. The misunderstanding was a bad break for the Eagles, but after a tough start to the season against top-ranked teams, Liberty’s improvement against Eminence and Licking was obvious. “We set goals rebounding-wise,” said Coach Walker, “We didn’t quite reach them but we’re getting closer to them, and I think everybody is just coming into their own as far as what they’re able to do offensively and what shots they should be looking for. You know the reality of it is we had three games last week and the last two were against two ranked teams in their class. I felt like in the Licking game our shots just looked a little tired in the first-half, and we finally hit some in the second-half and that evened everything out pretty quick.” Playing their third game in four days, the Eagles scored only five points in the first quarter against Licking on Friday night, and just 18 for the first half. Liberty came alive in the fourth quarter, led by Josh Pruett who finished the day with 16 points, and Shalin Stout who added 14 more. Pruett was in double-figures all week, scoring 17 against Summersville and 20 against Eminence. Brenton Bush was able to catch fire from the three-point line. The senior who excelled as a wide-receiver in football, sank three pointers in each game, and tied Pruett with 20 points against Eminence on Thursday. “Winning at Eminence I don’t think is an easy thing to do,” said Walker, “I think we
played pretty well at the end of the game. We were down two going into the fourth quarter and ended up outscoring them (by ten).” That difference in the fourth quarter was a back-breaker for the Redwings. During the Tuesday night match up against Summersville, it was never close. Nine different players scored for the Eagles as they jumped out to a 58-6 halftime lead. Pruett and Mathew Coatney led the team with 17 points each. “We have guys that can really go get a basket when its time, and go in and get a shot off,” said Coach Walker, “I think we’ve passed the ball really well. I think we share the ball with each other very well. There’s still a lot of things we’ve got to get better at. It’s hard to get that done when you’re playing so many games. We’re still behind I feel like, but we can keep taking steps forward.” Tuesday night against Summersville wasn’t so much of a step, but more of a stomping. Liberty scored 30 points in the first quarter for a 30-4 lead. Coatney scored 10 by himself, and three-point shots by Pruett and Bush, led the way. Coming out in the second half with a 52-point lead, the Eagles could put the game on cruise control. Liberty’s defense did not allow Summersville to score more than eight points in any quarter as the Eagles ran away with an 88-17 win. It got a lot harder two days later at Eminence. The Eagles did jump out to a 21-14 lead in the first quarter. Nine of those points came from Bush, including a four-point play when he was fouled on a three-point basket. But the Redwings roared back in the second quarter, outscoring Liberty 25-18 to tie the game
39-39 at halftime. Eminence was led by Trent McBride who had 21 points at halftime. Stopping McBride was priority one in the second half, and the Eagles at least slowed him down. The son of Eminence Head Coach Pete McBride managed only 11 second half points, most coming from the free throw line. It was still close until the third quarter, as Liberty went cold and fell behind by two. Pruett with seven points and Bush with three, were the only players who scored for the Eagles. In the fourth that changed. Koel Orchard hit three baskets and two freethrows in the final eight minutes, while Andrew Holden sank a three-point shot, while Stout and Bush combined for eight more points. The big fourth quarter put Liberty over the top on the road with an impressive 72-62 win. Facing another top-ranked team the next day, the Eagles may have simply run out of steam. Falling behind 27-18 in the first half, the Eagles couldn’t make up that ninepoint margin as the Licking Wildcats put the game away from the free-throw line, although it was closer than the

nine-point margin appears. A few late free throws gave Licking a 57-48 win. “I want to thank those who came out and supported our team last week,” said Coach Walker on Monday, “We had an exceptional crowd for a Tuesday night game, and it was even better for Friday’s game.” Just like the Eagles who also continue to get better.

OMC officials concerned with latest stroke numbers; reminds the public that a Stroke is an emergency
How to Create a Safe 'Aging-in-Place' Home Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are thinking about making some modifications to our home so we can remain living there for as long as possible. Can you recommend some good resources that can help us with aging in place ideas? Staying Put Dear Staying, Many retirees, like you and your husband, want to stay living in their own house for as long as possible. But being able to do so will depend on how easy it is to maneuver your home as you get older. Here are some helpful resources you can turn to, to get an idea of the different types of features and improvements you can make that will make your house safer and more convenient as you grow older. Home Evaluation A good first step in making your home more age-friendly is to do an assessment. Go through your house, roomby-room, looking for problem areas like potential tripping or slipping hazards, as well as areas that are hard to access and difficult to maintain. To help with this, there are several organizations that have aging-in-place checklists that point out potential problems in each area of the home, along with modification and solutions. Rebuild Together, for example, has a two-page “Safe at Home Checklist” that’s created in partnership with the Administration on Aging and the American Occupational Therapy Association. Go to AOTA.org and search for “Rebuilding Together Safe at Home Checklist.” The National Association of Home Builders also has an “Aging-in-Place Remodeling Checklist” that offers more than 100 suggestions to can help homeowners age 50-plus live safely, independently and comfortably. Go to NAHB. org and search for “Aging in Place Remodeling Checklist.” Also check out AARP’s excellent resource called the “HomeFit Guide” that’s filled with 28-pages of tips and diagrams to make your entire home safe and easier to live in as you age. You can access it at AARP.org – search for “HomeFit,” or call 888-687-2277 and ask them to mail you a free copy. Personalized Advice If you want more personalized help, consider getting a professional in-home assessment with an occupational therapist. An occupational therapist, or OT can evaluate the challenges and shortcomings of your home for aging in place, recommend design and modification solutions, and introduce you to products and services to help you make improvements. To find an OT in your area, check with your physician, health insurance provider or local hospital, or seek recommendations from family and friends. Many health insurance providers, including Medicare, will pay for a home assessment by an OT if prescribed by your doctor. However, they will not cover the physical upgrades to the home. Another option is to contact a builder who’s a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). CAPS are home remodelers and design-build professionals that are knowledgeable about aging in place home modifications, and can suggest ways to modify or remodel your home that will fit your needs and budget. CAPS are generally paid by the hour or receive a flat fee per visit or project. To find a CAPS in your area visit the National Association of Home Builders website at NAHB.org/capsdirectory where you can search by state and city. 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.
OMC presents Coping with Stress During the Holidays Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) will present a free seminar on “Coping with Stress During the Holidays” at its outlying clinics. “Stress and depression can ruin your holidays and hurt your health. Being realistic, planning ahead, and seeking support can ward off stress and depression,” said Heather Hill, Clinics Program Coordinator at OMC. “The holiday season often brings unwelcomed guests, stress and depression. And it’s no wonder ~ the holidays present a dizzying array of demands ~ parties, shopping, baking, cleaning, and entertaining, to name just a few. But with some practical tips,
you can minimize the stress that accompanies the holidays. You may even end up enjoying the holidays more than you thought you could,” Hill said. Free seminars will be offered at: Winona Senior Center, December 14 at noon Ozark County Health Department in Gainesville, December 19 at 2 p.m. Mammoth Spring Senior Life Center, December 15 at 10:30 a.m. Thayer Fun and Friends Senior Center, December 15 at 3 p.m. For more information, contact Hill at 417-2575889.
Officials at Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) are concerned with the latest stroke numbers. In October and November, twenty-one stroke patients sought help too late to receive the tPA treatment. The key to surviving a stroke is time. The problem is that patients are not calling 911 at the first sign of stroke. They are waiting to ‘see what happens’ before they even ask for help,” according to Gay Stover, OMC Executive Director of Marketing. “By the time the patient or family decides to come to us, the stroke has been going on for several hours or even days and it is too late. We want the public to understand the importance of seeking help at the very first symptom of stroke. We work closely with first responders and we can often stop a stroke if the patient calls 911 at the first sign of stroke.” The benefit of receiving tPA treatment can make a huge difference in the patient’s recovery. Stroke is a medical emergency where time is very important. The clot buster, tPA must be given within 3 to 4 1/2 hours from the start of stroke symptoms, but the sooner, the better. For some patients, other treatment may be available for up to 12 hours. The American Heart Association reports that unfortunately, only 4 percent of stroke patients nationwide receive the recommended treatment in the key hours after stroke. The national standard is to administer the tPA within 60 minutes of arrival at the
hospital. OMC’s average for 2015 was 43 minutes. “We are very proud that OMC’s response time beats the national standard. The quicker someone can receive care for a stroke, the better the outcomes for their longterm health,” Dr. Clara Applegate, OMC Neurologist said. “Having a trained stroke response team ready to act allows us to rapidly identify and assess a patient’s condition. It is not always possible to prevent a stroke, but with timely, evidence-based care, it is possible to prevent many of the complications of stroke.” Dr. Applegate said it is critical for those who may be experiencing a stroke to act fast and call 911. “Even if you are close to the hospital, it is important to call 911,” she said. “The paramedics can begin treatment in the ambulance and can notify the Emergency Department to put the OMC Stroke Team on alert. OMC’s multidisciplinary stroke team is made up of nurses, physicians, neurologists, ambulance services, therapists and Emergency Department workers who respond to stroke. According to Dr. Applegate, the first step is that people need to be aware and call 911. All of the EMS systems (ground and air ambulances) recognize that stroke is an emergency and that every minute counts, so as soon as the 911 call comes in, EMS notifies the stroke team at OMC to be on alert. When the patient arrives at the hospital the stroke is confirmed by
the doctors and CT scan is done right away. CT scan of the head must be done right away to avoid giving clot buster to someone with a hemorrhage or another problem. The “clot busting drug,” tPA, may be given right away if the diagnosis is confirmed and blood pressure is controlled. “OMC has worked diligently over the past 19 years to educate the community on the importance of fast action. Currently, we are able to treat 29% of ischemic strokes with tPA at Ozarks Medical Center, much higher than the national average. We attempt to treat 100% of strokes that are eligible for treatment. We are striving for all patients who come to be treatable, but that depends upon the community. Too often, people wait to see if they’ll get better. If they
wait too long, we cannot administer tPA,” according to Dr. Applegate “We have been providing 24/7 stroke care since 1997 and with each year, we do a little better, as more people recognize that stroke is an emergency.” Ozarks Medical Center is a designated Level 2 Stroke Center with a comprehensive stroke team that goes into action with the 911 call. Signs of stroke are easy to remember using the acronym FAST. (Face, Arm, Speech, Time). Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech Difficulty, Time to call 911. For more information about stroke, contact the Ozarks Medical Center Neurosciences Center at 417-257-6777. To schedule a speaker for your local church or civic organization, contact OMC Public Relations Department at 417257-6735.
OMC’s 27th annual Lights of Life to help others The Ozarks Medical Center Lights of Life Christmas tree is now shining as a tribute in honor and memory of hundreds of individuals after the 27th annual community tree lighting ceremony on December 6. The OMC Foundation Lights of Life campaign gives area residents an opportunity to honor and remember their loved ones by sponsoring a tree light for $10 or a tree ornament for $25. To date, the campaign has raised $6215 so far and donations will be accepted thru January 31. The tree and the list of those honored with lights on the tree will also be displayed through the end of the December. The list will be updated daily with new donations. Funds raised during the Lights of Light campaign benefit several programs and services, including the OMC Foundation Endowment, the OMC Cancer Treatment Center, OMC Hospice, OMC Heart Care Services, OMC Wound Care and OMC Women and Children Services. The evening’s keynote speaker was Scott Womack who spoke about how important OMC was to him and his family throughout the cancer treatment for his late wife Carrie. During the time, Scott said he didn’t realize how much help and support
he and his family received from Dr. Morgan, the nursing and support staff, and the people of the community. In preparing for the speech, he said he was able to reminisce and realize just how special OMC and the community was to him and his family. Chosen to light this year’s tree were Natalie, Lauren and Matthew Stewart, children of OMC Board of Director member Melissa Stewart and her husband, Cary. The invocation was provided by John King, pastor at First Baptist Church. The Swing Set, a special group from the West Plains High School Concert Choir, performed a variety of holiday favorites. The group is under the direction of Kelly Dame. Tom Keller, President and CEO of OMC, gave closing remarks. Those still wishing to place a light or ornament on the Lights of Life Christmas tree to honor or in memory of someone may do so by sending a tax-deductible donation to the OMC Foundation. For information or to request a donation form, call 417-8535200. Donation forms also are available at the visitors’ information desk in the main lobby of the medical center, at the OMC Foundation office, located at No. 12 Parkway Center; and online at www.ozarksmedicalcenter. com by clicking on classes and events.

Update on the status of the Big Spring Lodge and cabins The Big Spring Lodge and of the Big Spring area and are itors to Ozark National Sce- been operated by private Cabins are a beloved feature a popular destination for vis- nic Riverways. They have concessioners under con-
Big Spring Lodge tract with the National Park Service (NPS) as an essential visitor service for many years. At the conclusion of the most recent concession contract in the fall of 2014, the deterioration caused by decades of use and deferred maintenance prompted the NPS to close the facility until restoration work could be completed. Because of the historical significance of the Big Spring Lodge and Cabins, the planning and design work for modifications and improvements to the facilities and surrounding landscape is a complex and lengthy process. Superintendent Larry Johnson announced today that progress is being made toward accomplishing some significant milestones in the restoration process. “While behind the scenes planning efforts have been underway for some time, progress will be more visible as construction work begins in 2017. In addition, progress is being made toward establishing a new long-term concession contract for the operation of the dining lodge and cabins.” He continued, “After our maintenance crews have repaired the critical health and safety issues, it is our goal to re-open the Big Spring Lodge and Cabins as soon as possible. We know that while the major renovations are a few years out, having the facility occupied by a concessioner and in use again, before the major renovation work, is the best way to preserve these irreplaceable historic structures. We’re working on the new concession contract prospectus that will reflect the temporary disruption of services during renovations. Our
intent is to have the critical repairs done, the concessions contract completed and the facility re-opened sometime in 2017.” An updated schedule for completion of major projects has been tentatively established. This schedule is subject to adjustment as progress continues: • Fall and Winter 2016: Work proceeds on the development of a new long-term concession contract prospectus for operation of Big Spring Lodge and Cabins. • January 2017: Completion of the Cultural Landscape Report for the Big Spring area, which is required before major restoration work on the Lodge and Cabins can begin. • Spring 2017: Completion of repairs to correct health and safety issues. • Spring 2017: Replacement of Big Spring Bridge begins. • Fall 2017: Replacement of the failing Big Spring area electrical and sewer systems begins. • Summer 2018: Completion of Big Spring Bridge replacement. • Summer 2018 : Replacement of electrical and sewer systems complete. • 2019: Architectural and engineering design for the Big Spring Lodge and Cabins begins. • 2020: Big Spring area water system replacement planning begins. • 2020: Construction begins to rehabilitate the Big Spring Lodge and Cabins. • 2020: Begin construction to stabilize and restore two stone retaining walls, stone walkways, boat ramp, and benches damaged from repeated flood events. Completion date to be determined.
Nearly 6,500 deer harvested during antlerless portion Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that deer hunters in Missouri harvested 6,491 deer during the antlerless portion of the fall firearms deer season, Dec. 2-4. Top harvest counties were Callaway with 213 deer harvested, Pike with 205, and Osage with 185. MDC reduced the length of the antlerless portion of the fall firearms deer season starting in 2016 from 12 to three days so previous harvest numbers are not comparable to this season. Deer hunting in Missouri continues with archery deer hunting through Jan. 15 and the firearms alternative-methods portion Dec. 24 through Jan. 3, 2017. Learn more about deer hunting from MDC at huntfish. mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trap-

Buy Missouri hunting permits from numerous vendors around the state, online at mdc.mo.gov/buypermits, or through the Conservation Department’s free mobile apps, Mo Hunting and Mo Fishing, available for download through Google Play for Android devices or the App Store for Apple devices.For current, preliminary harvest totals by season, county, and type of deer, visit the MDC website at https://extra.mdc.mo.gov/ widgets/harvest_table/. Missouri offers some of the best deer hunting in the country and deer hunting is an important part of many Missourians’ lives and family traditions. Deer hunting is also an important economic driver in Missouri and gives a $1 billion annual boost to the state and local economies.
