Turns out they have a good combination going on the basketball court as well. Nine players scored points for the Liberty Eagles last week against Alton Comets, but the big numbers came from a 22-point night by Josh Pruett and 19 more from his favorite football receiver Brenton Bush as the
Howell Co.
Liberty Eagles dominated Alton 85-62 and prepared for a rematch Tuesday against Doniphan. The annual Cabool Holiday Tournament arrives six days later. Despite being on the road at Alton, the Eagles were never really in trouble, jumping out to a 45-26 halftime lead and coasting to a 23-point win. The victory improved Liberty’s record to 5-4 on the season, although last week’s game wasn’t as lopsided as
their first match-up against the Comets. That game back on December 1st, resulted in a 56-16 victory for Liberty at the Thayer tournament. This time around Alton put up a bigger fight thanks to the reSee Eagles on Page 4
and charged with first degree murder, armed criminal action and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Investigators report that during the incident Koch and White’s two children were in the vehicle and watched the stabbing occur. White is to appear in court on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 at the Texas County Courthouse for a pre-trial conference. A jury trial is scheduled for August 14, 2017. The trial was moved to Texas County after a change of venue was granted in November of 2016. The charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

LMS girls basketball ends season with Liberty Tourney The Liberty Middle School girls basketball team had a great ending to their season as the 7th grade took first place in the Liberty Tournament and 8th grade took second place. Working with a new coach this year the future for LMS girls basketball looks bright. "It's never easy to transition with change of a new coach," began Head Coach Ashley Noble. "I think when you have a passion and truly care then the new wears off quickly. We are so proud of our middle school girls this season. They have worked hard and it really shows. As middle school coaches, it is our job to not win games, but prepare our girls for high school basketball, although winning is nice too. Coaching to me is all about being selfless and helping our athletes. I feel like Coach Jessica Ripko and I have a passion to coach middle school girls and see them grow and become successful players. We are happy to be in the background and help empower young girls to achieve their dreams. What makes or breaks your experiences are the people you are surrounded by. My
middle school and high school coach made my experience. The giving and the impact she had on me has ignited my coaching and my desire to get others to be their best. We have several girls who are blessed with God given talent and ability, as a coach it is our job to help them utilize those talents and abilities. I am thankful for this opportunity to coach and I hope my passion shines through." November 3 vs. Thayer The 8th grade girls won 39-13.

The 2016 season has been an interesting season. The 7th grade team is loaded with speed but lack size, and in the game size is extremely important. The 7th grade team struggled all year adjusting to the size difference to each team. We started off the season losing in the first round in the Van Buren tournament, which unfortunately put us out of the tournament. Next we had the Cabool tournament. The first round seemed promising as we picked up our first win against Licking. The next two games we lost, again putting us out of placing in the Cabool tournament. During the regular season we picked up some good SCA wins against Willow Springs, Houston and Cabool giving us a record of 5-8. Throughout the season we have struggled with finding our strengths despite lack of size. This year so far has been a learning year for these 7th graders. In the off season we plan on building on our strengths to help off set the lack of size. The 8th grade team being the complete opposite, big and slow, developed a great inside game but struggled against fast teams. The 8th grade season started of strong with picking up a third place trophy in Van Buren and a second place trophy in the Cabool tournament. After finishing strong in the Cabool tournament we lost five out of the next six games. Later we managed to pick up a few SCA wins against Cabool, Houston and Mountain Grove. With these few SCA wins, it improved our record to 8-7. These 8th graders have improved since last year in which they finished with a 6-10 record. Both of these teams have struggled, but as the season begins to close I see growth in both. I see their basketball IQ beginning to widen and grow larger. As the 8th graders go on to high school and play with older classmen, their skills will sharpen and they will grow as athletes. As for the 7th graders, they have learned a lot this year. I believe with what they have learned this year they will be better and much wiser athletes in the year to come.

From Page One needs one. At any given time there are 100 children in foster care within our catchment area. Our program continues to thrive because of our 23 amazing devoted and caring volunteers, however we need more help. How can you help? 1. Become a volunteer! Space is available for the upcoming training in January (TBA). Please contact our Program Coordinator, Kathe Wolf to receive an application, or if you have questions about getting involved. 2. Become a donor! Many of us do not have the time to devote to direct advocacy, however there are other ways to help. We have determined that it costs our program approximately $1,000 per year to provide one child advocate to a child in foster care. This amount includes the recruitment, outreach, training, screening, mileage reimbursement, and administrative support costs that are required for each child advocate. We have a growing group of individuals
and businesses who are supporting us through our Angel Advocates program. This program is devoted to those individuals and businesses who can commit to giving at least $1,000 per year (or $84 per month) to help us provide more advocates to more children. 3. By donating you can take advantage of the Champions For Children Tax Credit. Individuals, or businesses who gift $100 or more by December 31st to 37th Judicial CASA may apply for the credit, which can be claimed in an amount equal to 50% of the contribution. 4. Help us spread the word about what we are doing: We are looking to talk about our program and want to speak to civic groups, churches, businesses, and individuals who want to know more about the program and how they can help. 5.

Missouri basketball continues to struggle by Benjamin Herrold Sports Writer

The Ladies Aid met last week with only a few available but they had progress on the quilt that was waiting to be finished. Probably be next week. It was a nice but cold day for Maybelle Hoff, Sally Cooley, Zella Davis and Bobbie Jo Taber to come out. Pauline and Viola Henry, Mary Puzzo, and Bob Henry took care of the other needs. Bob and Pauline had their family Christmas on Saturday afternoon. All the family got to be there except for two. One in Florida and one in New Orleans for that day, who knows what the next day will be. We missed their smiling faces but the other 33 or so had a great day. Prayers are for all those hurting for this season, whatever the reason might be. We have to put our faith in knowing God is in control, even when we can’t feel it. We had our annual Christmas program Sunday. The kids did a great job! They are a lot of fun to watch. A big thank you to all who helped out. We have so many that are always willing to help with anything. 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.

them in our press more than we did the first time we played,” he explained, “Until the last quarter, we did a great job on the glass. We had a few more turnovers than I’d like, but when the game has that many possessions, there will be more turnovers.” There were 40 turnovers in the game, but at least the Eagles only accounted for 15 of those, compared to 25 for the Comets. Liberty also put together 12 steals, including four from Pruett, and Liberty out-rebounded the Comets 28-19 total. The best part was how our guys responded to the game,” explained Coach Walker, “It was a trap game because they had Steele back, it was in Alton and we beat them soundly the first time. We didn’t take them lightly, we had guys diving on the floor all night fighting for loose balls.” It was certainly a physical game as 41 fouls were called. Liberty was whistled 24 times. One Eagles’ player fouled out and two others finished the night with four each, but with nine players getting on the board, there was plenty of depth. Shalin Stout finished in double figures with 11 points, while Tyler Dewick, Mathew Coatney, and Koel Orchard each finished with eight points. The Eagles
and Mistelle Biggers, all of West Plains, and the late Randall Due. Derek and Caitlin Woodworth, West Plains, are the parents of a baby girl, Charlotte Leann, born December 2 at 4:16 p.m. at OMC. He weighed 7 pounds 6 1/2 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. Grandparents are Greg and Tammy Gross and Jim and Tammy Woodworth, all of West Plains. Jordan and Taquila Campbell, Alton, are the parents of a baby girl, Laikyn Kay, born December 3 at 6:45 a.m. at OMC. She weighed 10 pounds 3 1/2 ounces and was 22 1/2 inches long. Her sibling is Lainey, 2. Grandparents are Sally Deckard, Alton; Rick Morris, Alton; Candi Thompson, Birch Tree; and Darren Campbell, Alton. Martin and Leigh Ann Crews, Thayer, are the parents of a baby girl, Martha Riley, born December 6 at 4:52 p.m. at OMC. She weighed 8 pounds 8 1/2 ounces and was 21 inches long. Her siblings are Abigail, 15; Katie, 13; Rebecca, 10; Clara, 8; Dorothy, 6; Nora, 4; and Ella, 2. Grandparents are Kathy Miller, West Plains; Ralph and Rhonda Maddeaux, Thayer; Bill Crews, Thayer; and the late Dorothy Crews. Michael and Olivia Lunn, West Plains, are the parents of a baby girl, JoAnna Rose, born December 6 at 5:33 p.m. at OMC. She weighed 7 pounds 8 1/2 ounces and was 21 inches long. Her siblings are Paxton, 4 and Rilee, 2. Grandparents are Bryan and Tina Forester, West Plains; Jerry McCormick, Steelville; and Michael and Andrea Lunn, West Plains.
also got points from all three sophomores Brodyn Kenaga, Landon Cooley, and Andrew Holden. Liberty took a five-point lead to start the first quarter, and broke the game open in the second quarter by outscoring Alton 28-14 for a 19-point advantage at halftime. The Eagles’ advantage grew even wider after hitting 24 points in the third quarter for a 69-33 lead. The Comets managed to outscore Liberty in the fourth quarter, but only 19-16 as the Eagles cruised to the win. It was the third win in four tries for Liberty, but the next few weeks promise to be a very tough stretch. What it likely won’t be, however, is all that new. The Eagles may end up playing three, or possibly even four, teams during the next five games that they’ve seen already. None of those will likely be easy. That certainly was the case Tuesday when Liberty traveled to play at Doniphan, the same Dons who defeated the Eagles by 13-points during Liberty’s first game of the season at the Van Buren Shoot Out. After that, it’s the Cabool Holiday tournament where the Licking Wildcats, the Thayer Bobcats, and the Liberty Eagles are seeded 1, 2, and 3. On Monday, December 26, the Eagles start the Tournament at 6:00pm against 14thseed Bakersfield. A win there
will send the Eagles to game against either Eminence or Dora, both of whom Liberty has beaten once this season. Should the Eagles win that round, more familiar teams await. The semi-finals at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 28 would have a good chance to be against Thayer. If the Eagles were able to get the upset over Thayer, they would likely face the number-one seed Licking Wildcats. Both Thayer and Licking won games against Liberty this season, although both were close. A loss in either the quarterfinals or the semi-finals, however, would send Liberty against less familiar squads. The Eagles could face the likes of Couch, Cabool, or Gainesville for a 5th place bracket, or Winona or Seymour in the 3rd place bracket. One would think the Eagles won’t mind playing familiar teams if it meant avenging a loss, and winning a championship of course. Those other games can wait.

How to Spot and Fix Medical Billing Mistakes
Dear Savvy Senior, After a recent hospital stay, I have a stack of confusing medical bills at home I need to decipher. I’ve heard these bills frequently contain mistakes. How do I spot them to ensure I’m not paying more than I need to be? Cautious Carol Dear Carol, Medical billing errors and overcharging is not uncommon. According to the American Medical Association, 7 percent of medical bills in 2013 had errors, and other groups estimate that figure to be much higher. Unfortunately, untangling those mistakes is almost always up to you. Here are some tips and tools that can help. Check For Errors To help you get a grip on your medical bills and check for errors, you need to familiarize yourself with what your insurance does and doesn’t cover. Then you need to carefully review the explanation of benefits from your insurer, and the invoices you receive from your doctor, hospital and/or outpatient facility providers. These invoices need to be itemized bills detailing the charges for every procedure, test, service and supply you received. If you didn’t receive an itemized invoice, request it from your health care providers. And if the invoices contain any confusing billing codes or abbreviations that you don’t understand, ask them for an explanation. You can also look up most medical billing codes online by going to any online search engine and typing in “CPT” followed by the code number. Once you receive and decode the invoices, keep your eyes peeled for these mistakes: • Typos: Incorrect billing codes, a misspelled name or a wrong policy number. • Double billing: Being charged twice for the same services, drugs, or supplies. • Canceled work: Charging for a test your doctor ordered, then canceled. • Phantom services: Being charged for services, test or treatments that were never received. • Up-coding: Inflated charges for medications and supplies. • Incorrect length of stay: Most hospitals will charge for the admission day, but not for day of discharge. Be sure you’re not paying for both. • Incorrect room charges: Being charged for a private room, even if you stayed in a semi-private room. • Inflated operating room fees: Being billed for more time than was actually used. Compare the charge with your anesthesiologist’s records. To make sure the charges on your bill are reasonably priced, your insurance provider may offer an online price transparency tool, or use the Healthcare Blue Book (healthcarebluebook.com) or Guroo (guroo.com). These are free resources that let you look up the going rate of many procedures, tests or services in your area. Make Corrections If you find errors or have questions about charges, contact your insurer and your health care provider’s billing office. When you call, be sure you write down the date, time and name of the person you speak to and a summary of the conversation, in case you need to refer back to it at a later time. If there’s a billing code error or some other mistake that’s easily correctable, ask your health care provider to resubmit a corrected claim to your insurance company. Get Help - If you aren’t able to resolve the dispute on your own, you may want to consider hiring a medical billing advocate to work on your behalf. To find someone, try sites like billadvocates.com or claims.org. Most advocates charge an hourly fee – somewhere between $50 and $200 per hour – for their services, or they may work on a contingency basis, earning a commission of 25 percent to 35 percent of the amount they save you. If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, another resource is your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). They provide free counseling and can help you understand your medical bills and Medicare coverage. To find a local SHIP counselor visit shiptacenter.org, or call 800-633-4227. 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.

icy conditions that brought traffic to a standstill. The Panthers (7-4 through Sunday) spent their time by boosting a student manager over a fence to buy tacos. And then eventually they rolled into Mizzou Arena and beat Missouri. It was a big win for Eastern Illinois coach Jay Spoonhour, who has strong Missouri ties, serving as a graduate assistant for Missouri and coaching at Moberly’s community college. Eastern Illinois missed its first 14 three-pointers, but Missouri managed only a two-point lead at halftime. Eventually the Panthers started making some, and that was enough. Missouri’s final possession was a debacle. Down three, with the last seconds fading, Missouri didn’t

From Page One get any action or movement going at all. Sophomore guard Terrence Phillips just dribbled and dribbled and then fired up a contested three-pointer that missed. Ballgame. It was another embarrassing loss, another of many candidates for hitting rock bottom. Last month, Missouri lost at home to North Carolina Central. Now a loss to Eastern Illinois. These are supposed to be games where Missouri pays a smaller program to come in and, in theory, lose, “cupcake” opponents to round out the schedule. But the cupcakes keep devouring Missouri. Coach Kim Anderson is by all accounts a good man, but the situation is looking dire in his third year in charge. This is the third season in a row his
team has come into the Braggin’ Rights game with Illinois at 5-5, and now it’s despite a fairly soft schedule. Fan interest has understandably faded. Conditions were tough Saturday, with ice on the roads, snow on the way, and a ruthless wind ripping across Columbia. But the crowd was tiny, and crowds at Mizzou Arena have been sparse for years now. Hats off to the super loyal Tigers fans who were there. But the show goes on. A rivalry game win against Illinois Wednesday (6 p.m. on ESPNU), however improbable it seems, would be huge for a program desperate for something good to happen. Senior guard Malcolm Hill leads Illinois in scoring, at 18.2 points per game. He’s 3-0 and going for a career sweep against Missouri. This is usually a fun game, with a lot of energy and good atmosphere as the two teams and fanbases duel. Heck the cheerleading squads even face off in a lifting competition. Here’s hoping Tiger fans show up for this one, because the fan support makes it what it is. Also, here’s hoping Missouri can reverse the cycle of dreary basketball winters.

Brown's Farm & Garden Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 12/13/2016 Receipts: 3,742 Week ago: 4,319 Year ago: 1,921 Compared to last week, steer calves traded uneven from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher while heifer calves sold steady to 3.00 higher. Lightly tested yearling steers and heifers traded steady to firm. Cooler temperatures and nearing the end of the year has brought a lot of calves to town the past couple of weeks. Single and small drafts have made it difficult for buyers to fill out loads and are keeping them around the arena until late in the evening. With Christmas falling on the weekend, Ozarks Regional Stockyards will be open next week, giving sellers one more opportunity to move cattle before the end of the year. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy supply. The feeder supply included 47 percent Steers, 45 percent Heifers, and 8 percent Bulls with 43 percent of the offering weighing over 600 lbs.

Deadline is Jan. 6 for Arbor Award of Excellence nominations The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Missouri Community Forestry Council (MCFC) are accepting nominations for the 2017 Missouri Arbor Award of Excellence. The
annual award recognizes communities, institutions, businesses, organizations and individuals that make significant and long-lasting efforts to care for trees in their communities. Nomina-
tions are due by Friday, Jan. 6, 2017. “Trees bring so much value to our communities, but their overall health depends on people practicing good tree stewardship on both
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will host Introduction to Fish Gigging in Oregon County, Saturday, Jan. 14, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Registered participants will meet at MDC’s Ozark Regional Office in West Plains before departing as a group to gig on private land. Blake Stephens, MDC fisheries management biologist, said participants will learn to gig from the front of a boat, learn about sucker fish and the Ozark tradition of fish gigging.
“We’ll demonstrate how to easily prepare a meal of suckers and enjoy a fish fry on a gravel bar,” Stephens said. Fish giggers target drum, gar, carp, suckers and other non-game fish. This is not a catch and release method of fishing. While one person steers the boat, a gigger stands on the deck of the boat, which has a waist-high railing at the front to guard the gigger against falling in the water. The gigger signals to the driver of the boat
as he or she watches for obstructions and signals which direction to steer towards the fish. When the boat and gigger get near enough to a targeted fish, the gigger extends the long, speared pole to snag or “gig” the fish. Missouri’s gigging season for fish in streams and impounded waters runs from Sept. 15 to Jan. 31. Gigging is prohibited in some Wild Trout Management and Trout Special Management areas. Giggers should consult the Missouri Wildlife Code for specific regulations and prohibitions, or go online to http://huntfish.mdc. mo.gov/fishing. The clinic is designed for young students, ages 10 to 20 years old that have no gigging experience. Students age 16 to 20 will need a fishing permit. Class size is limited to 15 students and students must provide their own transportation and be accompanied by an adult if they are under 16. To register, call the MDC Ozark Regional Office in West Plains at (417) 256-7161. Due to the time of year, the class may be canceled because of inclement weather or poor water conditions. For more information on fish gigging in Missouri, go online to mdc.mo.gov.

Those principles include the history of beekeeping, honeybee biology, plant and pollinator relationship, and essential equipment and requirements. “We are excited to bring the Master Beekeeper program to the Southwest Region,” said Sarah Kenyon Howell County Extension Program Director. “This high-quality program will offer both classroom instruction and mentoring opportunities for participants.” The Missouri Master Beekeeper certification program consists of six levels: Beginner Beekeeper, Apprentice Beekeeper, Journeyman Beekeeper, Junior Master Beekeeper, Master Trainer,
and Master Beekeeper. By the end of this first course, individuals will be able to help experienced beekeepers in the management of hives. Individuals must have one year of experience rearing bees and join a local beekeeping club before taking an exam to move up to the next level. Experienced beekeepers can test up through the first two levels of the program if they have three or more years of experience. The “Basic Beekeeping for Beginners” class is for any individual interested in learning beekeeping. There is no minimum age for the program, but children 12 and younger may find examination questions difficult.
public and private property,” said MDC Community Forestry Program Supervisor Russell Hinnah. “The more we work to take care of our trees, the more trees work for us by increasing property values, improving our air, saving energy, protecting our watersheds, providing wildlife habitat, and more.” The Arbor Award of Excellence shines the spotlight on anyone who has improved trees in their community. Any significant program, project, or event that contributes to the care or maintenance of trees could qualify for an award. “This award is intended to recognize projects that demonstrate a sustained overall effort to care for trees,” said Hinnah. “I encourage everyone to consider the wonderful tree work in their communities and to nominate those who made it possible.” Winners receive a framed award, a full registration scholarship to the MCFC conference in March, a community forestry reference book, a $50 gift card, and a 5 percent bonus cost-share if selected for funding through MDC’s Tree Resource Improvement and Maintenance cost-share program.

MDC accepting applications for MRAP walk-in hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing program The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites eligible private landowners to apply for its Missouri Outdoor Recreational Access Program (MRAP). The program provides incentive payments and habitat improvement help to participating private landowners who open their properties to the public for walk-in hunting, fishing, or wildlife viewing. More than 6,300 acres of private land are currently enrolled in MRAP. MDC is accepting MRAP applications from private landowners through Jan. 17. Offered lands must meet eligibility requirements, such as being at least 40 contiguous acres or at least a one-acre pond for fishing access. Land must also contain minimum amounts of quality wildlife habitat, such as native grass fields, crop-field buffers, restored wetlands, or managed woodlands. MDC encourages landowners who participate in other conservation programs, such as the Conservation Reserve Program, to apply. Annual payment rates are
determined by factors such as the access type selected by the landowner and the amount of quality habitat available. Most participating landowners earn $15-$25 per acre each year they participate. Payment rates for fishing-only access are on an adjusted scale and are based largely on impoundment size or stream length. Landowners determine the type of activities that will be permitted on their land by selecting one of six public-access options: All Access Hunting and Fishing, Small Game and Turkey Hunting, Youth Only Hunting and Fishing, Archery Hunting, Fishing Only, or Wildlife Viewing. MRAP lands are open to foot traffic only and area users self-register at designated entry points. Parking typically occurs along roadsides. Participating landowners are offered liability protection under Missouri’s Recreational Use Immunity Law. For more information and an MRAP application, visit mdc. mo.gov/mrap, or contact local MDC Private Land Services staff.
