Drones and fire don’t mix - if you fly, we can’t Mark Twain National Forest’s spring fire season is underway. Already, two incidents of unmanned aircraft systems, (UAS), also known as drones, operating near firefighting operations have occurred in the past week. “Flying a drone near a fire on Forest Service land puts the lives of our pilots and air crew at risk, so we are forced to ground aircraft; and our aircraft are vital to successful management of the fire,” stated Fire Management Officer Jim Cornelius. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a temporary flight restriction (TFR) is often put in place around wildland fires to protect firefighting aircraft. No one other than the agencies involved in the firefighting effort can fly any manned or unmanned aircraft in such a TFR. Anyone who violates a TFR and endangers the safety of manned aircraft could be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties which range from $1000 to $25,000 in fines. Even if there is no TFR, operating a UAS could still pose a hazard to firefighting aircraft and would violate Federal Aviation Regulations. The FAA has partnered with industry and the modeling community in a public outreach campaign called “Know Before You Fly.” To learn more about how to responsibly fly a UAS, go to www.knowbeforeyoufly.org. Please keep your drone on the ground and let firefighters and aircraft do their jobs. And, if you see someone flying a drone near a fire on the Mark Twain National Forest, report it immediately to Missouri-Iowa Interagency Coordination Center (MOCC) at 866-800-8595.

Service milestone, promotion for father, son at West Plains Bank West Plains Bank and Trust Company Chairman of the Board S. David Gohn reached a service milestone at the close of 2016, having completed 50 years with West Plains Bank and Trust Company. Gohn joined West Plains Bank and Trust Company in 1966 after working for two years at Union National Bank in Springfield, Mo. Gohn, who currently serves as Chairman of the Board for
West Plains Bank and Trust Company, was recognized by the Missouri Bankers Association in 2014 for his 50 years of service in the banking industry. At the recent annual holiday party for West Plains Bank and Trust Company, he was honored with a gift for 50 years of service to the Bank. Throughout his career, Gohn has held a number positions within the state and national banking industry organiza-
Our 150th birthday party for Laura Ingalls Wilder was one to remember. Thirty children and their parents/grandparents attended the 3rd annual event, many came in costume of the era and others donned prairie bonnets that the library provided. Rachel McGregor braided the little girls’ hair in “Laura braids” before the festivities started. We all had a hand in making fresh butter while our speaker, Judy Smith, taught an interesting lesson on Laura’s life to the group. We enjoyed Laura’s favorites – popcorn and lemonade – before singing Happy Birthday to Laura and having everyone’s favorite, Betty Jo Bandy cake. Each child participating received a slate and chalk as a gift from the Summersville Friends of the Library group. Winter brings the possibility of inclement weather, so if ice or heavy snow accumulation is involved, staff might not be able to make it in to work. Library branch closings will be announced on local radio stations, but patrons are advised to phone their branch before risking life and limb to only find the library closed. Contact info for our branch may be found at the end of this column. The Summersville Friends of the Library group meets at the library on the 2nd Monday of each month at 5 p.m. The next scheduled meeting will be on March 13. Meetings are informal. New members are invited to join this active group in supporting and participating in the continuing growth of the Summersville Branch Library.

Shannon County Commission meeting minutes The Shannon County Commission met on Monday, January 30 at the Shannon County Courthouse. The meeting was called to order by Presiding Commissioner Jeff Cowen. Members present: Jeff Cowen, Presiding Commissioner; Dale Counts, Northern Commissioner; Herman Kelly, Southern Commissioner and Shelly McAfee, County Clerk. Visitors: Tom Bissell, Ben Trout and Shannon County Sheriff Darrin Brawley. The Commission approved the run-ons and abates to the personal and real estate property valuations prepared by the Assessor’s office. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y) Darrin Brawley presented the proposed Missouri Core Jail Standards which will result in increased costs for the county to abide by the Department of Corrections codes, if passed. Sheriff Brawley also explained a Search & Rescue proposal for his department and the Eminence Area Fire Department which would result in an active Search & Rescue team and utilize existing county resources. Sheriff Brawley questioned the funding his department would receive in the future from general revenue, if the proposed Law Enforcement Sales Tax Issue passed. Commission proposes the sheriff’s department would receive the entire amount from the Law Enforcement Sales Tax and a portion of the general revenue funding he currently receives for the budget.
Tom Bissell stated, if passed, the City of Winona would greatly appreciate their portion of the additional sales tax revenue they would receive from the proposed Countywide Road Sales Tax Issue. He states everyone is having budget problems and any additional revenues received would be very helpful. Herman stated the proposed Road Sales Tax Issue would be very beneficial to the county and also the four cities located in the county, as they will receive a portion of that tax if passed. He explained it is a way for the cities to get additional funding to help maintain their streets, as they all could really use help with the costs of paving asphalt and the maintenance of their streets. Ben Trout II, Manufacturers of Computerized Temperature Control, reported the heating issues in the jail have been resolved. Mr. Trout discussed the digital heating and cooling system they installed for the County. No visitors were present for the budget hearing scheduled for 10 a.m. Dale motions to approve the budget document. Herman seconds the motion. Motion carries with all in favor. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y) Dale motions to approve the minutes of January 23, 2017. Herman seconds the motion. Motion carries with all in favor. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y) Being no further business, Herman motions to adjourn the meeting at 12:15 p.m. Dale seconds the motion. Motion carries with all in favor. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y) The courthouse will be closed Monday, February 20. The County Commission will meet Tuesday, February 21.
tions, which have helped to effect positive change for community banks like West Plains Bank and Trust Company. In addition, he has a long history of community service, dedicating his time and expertise to the Ozarks Medical Center Foundation Board and Board of Trustees, West Plains Civic Center Board, West Plains Industrial Development Board, West Plains Public Library Board, West Plains R-7 School Board, Greater West Plains Area Chamber of Commerce Board and Drury University Board of Trustees. In 2016 he was inducted into the Breech Hall of Fame at Drury University in Springfield, Mo. Awards from the Greater West Plains Area Chamber of Commerce include Citizen of the Year in 1999, Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006 and the Humanitarian of the Year Award in 2014. Gohn is a familiar face to
employees and customers as he regularly reports to work and participates in making decisions, through his chairman of the board duties, which help drive the success of the Bank. His experience and commitment to seeing the Bank evolve to meet changing technology and customer expectations are valuable influences. Gohn was pleased to start 2017 by leading a unanimous Board vote to promote West Plains Bank and Trust Company President and Chief Operating Officer David M. Gohn to President and Chief Executive Officer. “Since 2009, David M. has done a very effective job of leading the Bank,” said S. David Gohn. “I am pleased by the Board’s decision to appoint him to the well deserved position of Chief Executive Officer. I am confident that he will continue to grow the bank and enhance the culture among em-
Reviewing, Repealing, and Repeating If you have never heard of the ‘Stream Protection Rule’, you aren’t alone. In fact, before the Obama Administration decided to name that one of their final midnight rules last year, I had never heard the term. But its impact would have been disastrous – 400 new regulations from that one rule alone and a projected economic impact of 78,000 jobs lost. With a President now in office willing to put his signature behind rule and regulatory repeals passed by the U.S. House & Senate, we have begun to take aggressive action to repeal some of the most costly, harmful and unconstitutional rules and regulations authored by the Obama White House. In bipartisan fashion last week, the House formally repealed that so called ‘Stream Protection Rule’ and a term that none of us ever became familiar with will fortunately stay that way. In the midnight hours of President Obama’s term, they finalized a rule that effectively barred some Americans who receive disability benefits from owning a firearm – drastically impeding the second amendment rights of thousands. Just because somebody has a disability does not mean they are a threat to society. It is exactly this type of lame duck action, this type of Washington bureaucrats know best mentality which voters overwhelmingly rejected this past November. Again, the U.S. House acted last week with my full support to repeal this unconstitutional new bureaucratic rule and at last we have a counterpart in President Trump who is willing to put his ink on legislation passed by the Republican Congress to repeal these terrible rules and regulations. In the past 2 weeks the House has been able to repeal 8 disastrous rules imposed under the Obama Administration. While our work is far from over, the removal of these rules alone has resulted in economic relief to the economy in the form of over 6 billion dollars. The repeal of these rules has been across the board - from rules and regulations projected to increase the strain on our nation’s teachers, rules which would increase burdens on local and state budgets, or new regulatory hurdles which would delay the permitting process on construction projects - the House is using the powers at its disposal as authored in the Congressional Review Act to undue job killing and costly rules finalized by the Obama White House during its last hours in office. When Congress returns to session this week we will repeat this work of reviewing and repealing unnecessary, burdensome, duplicative and costly regulations finalized by the Obama White House in its final months, weeks, days, and hours. Less regulations, lower taxes, reduced federal spending, removal of a bureaucrat between you and your doctor and a return to the days of increased personal freedoms and liberties are just around the corner. Liberals in the House and Senate will continue their tactics of delay and disruptions, but they are only slowing down progress the American people want and deserve. The work of getting our country back to a place where the current generation knows they are leaving future generations better off has just begun, together we will return America to that light of democracy that invokes respect and awe from those around the globe

33rd Senate District Sees Another Gubernatorial Appointment
I’m pleased to announce a gubernatorial appointment coming from the 33rd Senate District this week as Tim Bean was named the State Fire Marshal. Previously serving as the West Plains Fire Chief, the governor announced Bean’s appointment on Thursday. Bean is the third person to be appointed to a statewide position from the 33rd Senate District since 2014. It’s a pleasure to see skills and talent from our district recognized on a state level. Bean has been with West Plains Fire Department since 1984 and has also served as the Howell County assistant SWAT Team leader and a reserve sheriff’s deputy. Bean began his career as a volunteer firefighter and also served as a West Plains Public Safety Officer, assistant fire chief, a reserve police officer, and SWAT team member. I am confident he will succeed and do great things as the State Fire Marshal and am proud the governor has chosen him for this post. In addition to Bean, the 33rd Senate District has seen former Rep. Maynard Wallace of Thornfield appointed to the State Board of Education in 2014 and Mike Pace of West Plains appointed to the State Highways and Transportation Commission in 2015. In other news, this week the Senate passed Senate Bill 16, which would exempt delivery charges from sales and use taxes. In 2015 the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that charges for delivery were subject to tax because the delivery charge was included in the price. In response to that court decision, the Department of Revenue began notifying Missouri Businesses they may be required to collect sales tax on delivery fees. For example, many pizza restaurants charge a $2 to $3 fee for delivery. The Division of Budget and Planning estimates approximately 51 million pizzas are sold in Missouri each year and would be subject to the delivery fee. Under this bill, restaurants that offer food delivery would not have to submit a separate tax on the delivery fees. Senate Bill 16 will officially exempt delivery fees from state sales tax and lessen the burden on business owners. Businesses would have to make the delivery fees reasonable and separate from the cost of rental. By passing this bill, we can ensure the Department of Revenue doesn’t create more taxes that will harm businesses and consumers. I was proud to vote in favor of this bill and look forward to its passage by the House of Representatives. 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.

Liberty Eagles ‘break’ the Bears on Hoop Queen night by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
The Liberty Eagles were back in their groove on Friday night’s Hoop Queen game at the Nest, pulling away from the Willow Springs Bears in the second half for a 20-point victory, a solid bounce-back after losing on the road 83-57 to the number-one seed in Districts, the Mountain Grove Panthers. Two games remained in the regular season this week before the District tournament gets underway on Saturday. Liberty had a home game against Ava on Tuesday, and will face them again in the first-round of Districts. Friday, Liberty is on the road for one final tune-up against Cabool. “There’s always things that you see that you can better at,” explained Liberty Eagles Head Coach Yancey Walker, “But I feel like we’re in as much of a groove as we have been for a while, so we just gotta keep cinching things in and tightening things up to make sure we do what we need to do to give ourselves the best chance against Ava, to give ourselves the best chance against Licking, and hopefully give ourselves the best chance against Mountain Grove.” That will indeed be the likely path for Liberty if they can string some District wins
together, but it won’t come easy. The Ava Bears are a solid team, and both Licking and Mountain Grove are topranked teams in the State. The Eagles however, know exactly what they are up against, and know they are not that far away. Against the Panthers at Mountain Grove, the Eagles led 20-18 at the end of the first quarter. Mountain Grove erupted for 30 points in the second quarter, jumping out to a 12-point lead, but Liberty didn’t go away. “They made nine 3’s against us,” explained Walker, “We scored with them in the first half for quite a while then we had several chances in the second half. We’d cut it down to six, and then we let them back out, we’d cut it back to six, and we’d let them back out. We just couldn’t get over that hump to where it was a tie ball game. We just have to keep getting better offensively. They are good, you can’t take anything away from them. They use their personnel really well.” The 18-3 Panthers were led by Conner McNew who scored 24 points, 11 of those coming in the second quarter. Liberty was led by Mathew Coatney with 26 points, including three, 3-point shots in the first quarter. On the scoreboard, Coatney had his best week yet, leading the team again on Friday night

with 25 points against Willow Springs. Against the Bears, the Eagles were solid through the first three quarters, taking a 33-30 lead into halftime and extending that to a 46-37 lead at the end of the third quarter. Everything came together in the fourth, however, as Liberty scored 26 points and finished with a 72-52 victory. The points scored are only part of the picture. Friday night, the Eagles were doing the little things, too. Shalin Stout had three blocks, 10 rebounds, and defensively affected ten or more shots and plays that gave Liberty the edge. “It’s always something like that,” explained Walker, “that gets you over the hump. It’s not necessarily who scores the points, it’s who does the things that change the game.” Drives by Josh Pruett and Brenton Bush, rebounds by Andrew Holden, and fourth quarter baskets by Koel Orchard made all the difference in the world. The Willow Springs Bears gave the Eagles a fight, and the Bears won both the Freshman game and the JV game. But in the varsity match-up, Liberty proved to be too much. “I thought we had a chance
to break them three separate times, and then finally we got them,” said Walker, “But they’re a scrappy team. They’re very talented, there’s no doubt about it, and they’ve got a lot of young kids that are good so they’re going to be a problem next year and the following year. I thought we played pretty high percentage for the most part, and just made a lot of plays, especially in the fourth quarter to go ahead and break them.” Bush helped the Eagles get going offensively in the first quarter with three baskets, two came on impressive drives underneath. Pruett added two baskets as well and Coatney hit a three. After one quarter, the Eagles had a 14-11 lead. The scorebook shows that both teams scored 19 points in the second quarter, but it took a long-distance, three-point shot for Willow Springs to stay that close. Coatney caught fire in the second, scoring nine points, while Pruett and Stout were combined to go a perfect 6 for 6 from the free throw line. It was the defense that took over in the third quarter. The Eagles outscored Willow Springs 13-7 giving up just two baskets and

a couple of free throws for those eight minutes. Coatney continued to add to his total with a couple of baskets and a three-point shot. Everyone seemed to get into the action for Liberty in the fourth quarter. Coatney scored five, Holden added six, Orchard hit a three and sank another basket on an impressive drive, and Pruett nearly caught up with Coatney on the scoreboard with a basket, an old-fashioned three-point play, and another three. Pruett finished the night with 22 points, to Coatney’s 25. With two games this week, one coming against the same Ava Bears that the Eagles will have to face in the first round of Districts, it’s that tournament which is capturing all the attention. If the Eagles can get by Ava in the first-round, they will likely face the Licking Wildcats who lost to Mountain Grove by just one point earlier this season. Licking and Mountain Grove were close in the final score, but that’s where any similarities end, a fact that the Eagles already know. “They’re two totally different teams,” said Walker, “When we played Licking, of the ten starters I think six
of them were six-foot five or taller, and you don’t see that in a Class 3 game very often. And they’ll 2-3 zone it and slow the game down, whereas Mountain Grove, they’ll just keep firing. They’ll get a lot of possessions in the game. We’re going to have to beat Ava first, and then we’re going to have to take care of Licking and put all of our energy into Licking, and then probably, mostly likely play Mountain Grove in the finals. And again, you have to put all of your energy into each team but the differences are very vast. It’s just a question of playing your best basketball and trying to do the things that you do best. And as much as worrying about them, making them worry about you and what you can do well.” If the Eagles can stay in the groove they found on Friday night, Districts should be interesting. SCORING AGAINST MOUNTAIN GROVE: Coatney 26, Bush 11, Stout 2, Hedden 6, Orchard 2, Pruett 10. AGAINST WILLOW SPRINGS: Coatney 25, Holden 8, Bush 8, Stout 4, Orchard 5, Pruett 22, Kenaga 2.

How Medicare Covers Preventive Health Services Dear Savvy Senior, Does Medicare cover 100 percent of all preventive health care screenings? I’m due to get a colonoscopy and a few other tests, but I want to find out if I’ll have to pay anything before I proceed. New to Medicare Dear New, Medicare currently covers a wide array of free preventive and screening services to help you stay healthy, but not all services are completely covered. You also need to be aware that the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) – which helps financially support Medicare – may very well cause these free preventive services to be eliminated in the future. But in the meantime, here’s how it works. Free Preventive Services Currently, most of Medicare’s preventive services are available to all Part B beneficiaries for free, with no copays or deductibles, as long as you meet basic eligibility standards. Mammograms; colonoscopies; shots against flu, pneumonia, and hepatitis B; screenings for diabetes, depression, and heart conditions; and counseling to combat obesity, alcohol abuse, and smoking are just some of Medicare’s lengthy list of covered services. But to get these services for free, you need to go to a doctor who accepts Medicare “on assignment,” which means he or she has agreed to accept the Medicare approved rate as full payment. Also, the tests are free only if they’re used at specified intervals. For example, prostate cancer PSA tests, once every 12 months for men over 50; or colonoscopy, once every 10 years, or every two years if you’re at high risk. Medicare also offers a free “Welcome to Medicare” exam with your doctor in your first year, along with annual wellness visits thereafter. But don’t confuse these with full physical examinations. These are prevention-focused visits that provide only an overview of your health and medical risk factors and serve as a baseline for future care. For a complete list of services along with their eligibility requirements, visit Medicare.gov and click on the “What Medicare Covers” tab at the top of the page, followed by “Preventive & screening services.” Hidden Costs You also need to know that while the previously listed Medicare services are completely free, you can be charged for certain diagnostic services or additional tests or procedures related to the preventive service. For example, if your doctor finds and removes a polyp during your preventive care colonoscopy screening, the removal of the polyp is considered diagnostic and you will likely be charged for it. Or, if during your annual wellness visit, your doctor needs to investigate or to treat a new or existing problem, you will probably be charged here too. You may also have to pay a facility fee depending on where you receive the service. Certain hospitals, for example, will often charge separate facilities fees when you are receiving a preventive service. And, you can also be charged for a doctor’s visit if you meet with a physician before or after the service. To eliminate billing surprises, talk to your doctor before any preventive service procedure to find out if you may be subject to a charge and what it would be. Cost Sharing Services Medicare also offers several other preventive services that require some out-of-pocket cost sharing. With these tests, you’ll have to pay 20 percent of the cost of the service, after you’ve met your $183 Part B yearly deductible. The services that fall under this category include glaucoma screenings, diabetes self-management trainings, barium enemas to detect colon cancer, and digital rectal exams to detect prostate cancer. Medicare Advantage Members If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, your plans are also required to cover the same free preventive services as original Medicare as long as you see in-network providers. If you see providers that are not in your plan’s network, charges will typically apply. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org.

MDC and anglers getting ready for March 1 trout opener As winter winds down, anglers throughout the ShowMe State are beginning to show some signs of trout fever. Symptoms include: tying flies, putting new fishing line on reels, checking waders for holes, and practicing casting. Most anglers who get trout fever get rid of it by doing one thing — visiting
one of Missouri’s four trout parks to participate in the catch-and-keep trout season. Thursday, March 1, marks the opening of catch-andkeep trout fishing at Bennett Spring State Park near Lebanon, Montauk State Park near Licking, Roaring River State Park near Cassville, and Maramec Spring Park
near St. James. The catchand-keep season at the trout parks runs through Oct. 31. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) operates trout hatcheries at all four parks. To help predict angler turnout on opening day, hatchery staff rely on permit records going back more than 70 years. Mon-
tauk, Bennett Spring, and Roaring River hatchery staff expect crowds of about 2,000 anglers at each location and Maramec Spring staff are planning for a crowd of about 1,000. Based on these predictions, hatchery staff will stock three trout per expected angler on opening day for a total of more than

FFA Day at the Capitol State Rep. Robert Ross welcomed Texas County resident Heidi Murry to the State Capitol on Tuesday, Feb. 7 as part of the annual FFA Day. Ross and Senator Mike Cunningham presented courtesy resolutions to Murry in honor of her efforts with FFA. Murry, who serves as State Vice President from the Plato FFA Chapter, was in Jefferson City along with the FFA State Officer Team. The group spent the day visiting legislators and sharing the organization’s three goals - Growing Leaders, Building Communities, and Strengthening Agriculture. “It was such an honor to welcome Heidi to the Capitol and to
meet with her about the importance of FFA and agricultural education in our state. When we see young people like her and her fellow officers who have such a passion for agriculture, we know the future of great state will be in capable hands in the years to come,” said Ross, R-Yukon. Murry is a 2016 graduate of Plato High School and was a member of the Plato FFA Chapter. She currently attends College of the Ozarks where she studies agriculture and speech communications. She hopes to find a career in the agriculture industry as a company representative where she can inform people about the importance of agriculture.

21,000 fish averaging around a foot in length. The hatcheries will also stock a mix of “lunkers” ranging in three to 10 pounds. “We have plenty of fish for this year’s trout season,” said MDC Fisheries Division Chief Brian Canaday. Trout anglers will need a daily trout tag to fish in Missouri’s trout parks. Daily trout tags can only be purchased at each of the four trout parks. Missouri residents 16 through 64 need a fishing permit in addition to the daily tag. Nonresidents 16 and older also need a fishing permit. Buy Missouri fishing permits from numerous vendors around the state, online at mdc.mo.gov/buypermits, or through MDC’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. Trout hatcheries are just one way that conservation pays in Missouri. MDC stocks more than 800,000 trout annually at the state’s four trout parks and approximately 1.5 million annually statewide. Trout anglers’ spend more than $100 million each year in the ShowMe-State, which generates more than $180 million in business activity, supports more than 2,300 jobs and creates more than $70 million dollars in wages. About 30 percent of Missouri trout anglers come from other states, so a substantial portion of trout fishing expenditures is “new money” for the state’s economy.
