Mercy St. Francis Easter Egg Hunt, Easter Bazaar
The grounds of Mercy St. Francis Hospital will be “hopping” once again as Easter approaches. The Mercy St. Francis Hospital Auxiliary will host its annual Easter Bazaar on Tuesday, April 4, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the front lobby of the hospital, located at 100 W. US Highway 60. The event will feature a variety of gifts for Easter and Mother’s Day, including homemade treats and handmade items, as well as gift shop merchandise. All proceeds from the annual event will support projects of the auxiliary that improve patient care. The following weekend – on Saturday, April 8, at 2 p.m. – thousands of Easter eggs will be hidden on the back lawn of the hospital. Mercy and the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the annual Easter Egg Hunt, dividing up the following age groups: 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9 and 10 to 12. One lucky hunter from each group who finds the golden egg will win a prize. From 1 to 3 p.m., there will be activities for kids, including free barrel train rides and face art provided by the local Future Farmers of America (FFA) group, as well as $1 balloon animals, a 33-foot tall tree house slide and an appearance by the Easter Bunny. “We look forward to this event year after year,” said Cindy Tooley, Mercy St. Francis Hospital administrator. “It’s a great opportunity for families in the community to come together and celebrate the holiday.” For more information on the egg hunt, call (417) 934-7000.

Letters to the Editor
Members of VFW Post 3009, I was raised to believe in the honor and integrity of veterans. Veterans fought for the freedom, rights and liberties of all Americans. They sacrificed their lives for us and to me nothing is more honorable. The veteran that stands out above all others was, of course, my grandfather, Jesse R. Holden. He stands out not only for his sacrifices and service during WWII but also for the type of man he was. Yes, he was a proud, patriotic American but he was also a man of trust, integrity, devotion and loyalty. He devoted his life to many things, his country, his family and friends, his business and his beloved VFW post. Whenever my mother died, he and my grandmother took me and my two siblings in and lovingly raised us. Whenever one of his fellow veterans or friends were ill or were in need, he was there for them. He sat at the bedside of many sick and dying people, he also helped their families any way that he could. He was constantly at the VFW building or campground working. He was devoted to the campground’s care and he kept it mowed and brushhogged. He was the first to volunteer for community service and the last to go home. When my grandmother passed away he was totally devastated. His world has been turned upside down and he needed something to take his mind off of his loss. While at the VFW campground one day he said, “This is my favorite place to be. I could sit here and look at its beauty and listen to the water for the rest of my life”. It was that day that we talked about his dream of building a cabin there. He approached the other VFW members and the post commander about doing that a few days later. He was told that any veteran and their family could build a cabin down there and it would be theirs for them and their family to enjoy. My grandpa grew up in a time where a man’s word and a handshake was as good as a signed document. He trusted his fellow members to honor their word. The land was prepared and our beloved cabin was build that year. We built the cabin with our money, sweat, tears and love. The best part was that we built it together as a family. I can remember working side by side with my grandpa building it and all the while he had a smile on his face. We would sit on the porch together, take in the beauty, listen to the sounds of the river and were content. It was our piece of heaven on this earth and those memories can never be stolen from me. They are some of the most precious memories that I have and I hold them very dear to my heart. We managed to take a troubling and trying time for us and create
something for our family to enjoy together. Pap lived another ten years after Granny passed and he enjoyed every moment our family shared at our cabin. After his passing we have continued to go to our cabin and enjoy the river as a family for many more years. There isn’t a time that I have went down there that I don’t think about sitting with him on the porch listening to the river. We did not need words, we just needed the togetherness. Thank you VFW Post 3009 for every priceless moment. Now the campground is for sale and we are faced with the probability of losing our cabin. It is my hope that the cabin can remain in my family in honor of my grandpa. I would like to purchase the lot or an acre of land and have a right of way to the property. The other land will sell itself whether it has our cabin on it or not. I am pleading with you, as honorable men and upholding the agreement with my grandpa, to sell my family the tiny portion of land that our cabin sits on. Thank you, Kimberly Holden Burch Letter to the Editor: The Shannon County citizens are being asked by the Commissioners to vote on and pass “2” sales tax increases of 1/2 cent each. There was no mention about the expiration of the two we are already paying, or expiration of the proposed new ones. According to their budget info the County received about 15.5 thousand dollars more in sales taxes than in the year 2015 for a total of $561,019.05. Then 1/2% would equal about $280,509.53 for the Sheriff’s department and that same amount would also go to the County general revenue of which they say they would give half to the four towns and keep half for roads and bridges. I don’t think the County citizens should be taxed to help support the local towns. That’s what they have city taxes for. They also claim they would continue to give a “portion”, talk about a vague term, of the existing sheriff’s budget to him. You may remember last fall I was advocating a slight sales tax increase expressly for the Sheriff’s department but it would have been a guaranteed increase to his existing budget not in lieu of it. The last few years we have not had an adequate number of deputies because of budget constraints - they say. The Sheriff’s department is in desperate need for more funding but it is being used as a vehicle to also get the Commissioners a lot more money because they will be withdrawing money from the current budget for the Sheriff’s department as well as receiving additional sales tax money. They do not use money
wisely now (squander would be a better term) and will do the same with more money. For example: they spent 9.3 thousand dollars with three newspapers so the citizens can be well informed 2 to 4 weeks after the fact, thousands and thousands of dollars on office expenditures, lodging at some real impressive hotels, the mileage they pay employees, including themselves, is always, including this year’s 53.5 cents per mile, the highest recognized by our federal government. Most “for profit” businesses do not pay at the highest rate allowed by the federal government because it comes out of their own pocket. The Commissioners like to drive their own vehicles when conducing county business, for every two miles we pay them over a dollar. That gets to be a big salary supplement. According to the County’s Financial Statement, the three commissioners drew almost $13,000.00 with Herman getting over $6,000.00, Dale getting 5.7 thousand, and Jeff $1,026.63. At the same time they won’t put a County sign on their vehicle so the public can see when they are doing County business. We do pay their salaries plus benefits, like health insurance. We need a fair deal from them as well as due consideration for the amount of taxes we already pay. People get out of your comfort zone - and GO VOTE! A concerned citizen, Bryan Reese
The F.E.E.D. program would like to thank everyone in the community for their participation and assistance in helping raise Walmart’s match-a-grant that was provided by Ozark Food Harvest. We are very grateful to have been chosen for the Walmart grant in the amount of $3,000 so we will receive $6,000 that helps provide supplemental food items to eligible households in Mountain View and Peace Valley area.

Distribution of food will be at a later day. Listen to the radio station. We would like to say a special thanks to the Catholic Church for allowing us to use their parish hall month after month as a distribution place.

Shannon Co. Missourians deserve a better health care system Commission minutes U.S. Senator Roy Blunt
Earlier this year, Senate Republicans took the first step toward repealing Obamacare and paving the way for solutions that will expand access to quality, affordable health care for every American. If Obamacare was working the
way President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats said it would when they forced the law through Congress, this wouldn’t be necessary. But the fact is, Obamacare is wreaking havoc on our health care system and leaving Mis-
Check Your Tackle Box & Keep an Eye on Your Gun Case Did you know that on his way out of office, President Obama tried to regulate the ammo in your gun and the fishing sinkers in your tackle box? Before he jetted off to the Caribbean, President Obama managed to take a final swipe at Missourians’ way of life with “Director’s Order No. 219,” a last-minute regulation that banned lead ammunition and fishing tackle on federal lands. In other words, President Obama’s rule would not have allowed you to take shotgun shells or fishing sinkers with you to hunt in Mark Twain National Forest or fish at Clearwater Lake. Printed out, the current Code of Federal Regulations would physically cover more than 2.5 acres of land. That is 175,268 pages of burdens weighing down Missourians. Fortunately, I was able to stop them from adding another page to that stack and defend our right to decide what we do with our weekends. After hearing the concerns of hunters and fishermen in southern Missouri, I led the effort to have 60 Members of Congress send a letter to President Trump asking him to overturn the ban. You see, in Missouri, we know how to be good stewards of the land God has given us, and we do not need the federal government monitoring our movements while we enjoy creation. At the beginning of this month, my letter to President Trump resulted in the Obama-era lead ban being overturned by my friend and former colleague Ryan Zinke in one of his first acts as U.S. Department of Interior Secretary. This rule had no basis in science and was written without any input from those most affected by its enactment. Sportsmen and fishermen are some of our country’s greatest conservationists. Obama’s order only served to hinder them from participating in the recreational use of federal lands they’ve enjoyed for decades. The regulatory red tape thrown up by unelected bureaucrats over the last eight years is exactly what the American people soundly rejected when they elected Donald Trump in November. It was a complete overreach by the Obama administration to decide what type of ammunition or fishing tackle you carry while exploring the great outdoors of Missouri. In typical Washington, D.C. fashion, President Obama wanted to show Missourians that he knew what was best for us. Fortunately, we have a new president who understands and trusts us to tell him what we need, not the other way around. We have all seen President Trump’s work thus far, undoing the damage of President Obama’s executive actions and appointing the right people like Secretary Zinke to do the same thing. After eight years of Obama’s overreach, whether it is something as big as Obamacare or as small as the fishing tackle you pack on a weekend trip with your family, I am committed to defending southern Missouri’s way of life.
Money Smart for Small Businesses The Missouri State University-Small Business & Technology Development Center and Guaranty Bank will present “Money Smart for Small Businesses” from March 27 through April 25, 2017. This 5-week program series will be held each Monday and Tuesday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at The eFactory located within MSU’s Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center.

introduction to topics related to starting and managing a business. Developed jointly by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), this instructor-led curriculum will consist of 10 educational program modules. The instructors for this program will include a lender from Guaranty Bank, an insurance professional, a CPA and MSU-SBTDC small business consultants.

sourians with higher costs, fewer options and more uncertainty. When Obama was making the case for this law, he repeatedly assured Americans they would be able to keep the plans and doctors they liked and could afford. By the end of 2013, millions of Americans had their plans canceled because they did not meet the law’s requirements. Obama also said this law would mean “more choice, more competition and lower costs for millions of Americans.” That’s not the case. In Missouri, several insurers have pulled out of the Obamacare exchanges, significantly narrowing health plan options for individuals and families. This year, 97 Missouri counties have only one insurer participating in the exchanges. Last year, every Missouri county had at least two insurer options. In addition, most Missourians will see a rise in their premiums, with some facing an increase upward of 40 percent. I’ve heard from one small business owner, Dave, who told me his premiums have more than doubled under Obamacare, at the same time that his business has been forced to continually raise deductibles and seriously reduce benefits. Dave has been told to expect a 40 percent increase next year, which, he says, will be the end of his company’s participation in a health insurance program. These rate hikes are on top of the skyrocketing deductibles families have to meet before they’re even able to use their insurance. According to HealthPocket, this year the average deductible for a bronze plan tops $6,000 for individuals and $12,000 for families. Individuals with the middle-tier silver plans have an average deductible of more than $3,500, a 15 percent increase over last year. Missourians shouldn’t have to foot the bill for a law that has proven unworkable, unaffordable and unsustainable. That is why repealing and replacing Obamacare is one of our top priorities in the Senate. In his recent address to Congress, President Donald Trump reiterated his commitment to enacting step-by-step health reforms “that expand choice, in-
crease access, lower costs and at the same time provide better health care.” I was encouraged to hear the president back the expansion of health savings accounts, which would allow Missourians to put more of their pre-tax dollars into portable HSAs and use those funds to cover health care costs. This policy is in line with legislation I’ve previously supported and would make health care more affordable now and easier to plan for in the future. Most importantly, the president reaffirmed the need to ensure coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. Since my days in the House, I have supported providing insurance options for people with pre-existing conditions. As we move forward, I’ll work with my colleagues to be sure that no one is denied the care they need based on a pre-existing condition. The American Health Care Act, which is currently working its way through Congress, would go a long way toward creating a health care system that better addresses the needs of hardworking families without imposing costly new mandates and tax hikes. But we have a lot of work ahead. Obamacare has fundamentally altered our health care system, and repairing the damage will not be easy, but doing nothing is not an option. Missouri families need and deserve health plan options that give them access to quality care they can afford, without the fear of skyrocketing costs year after year. I look forward to working with the president and my colleagues on a step-by-step, patient-centered approach to improve and expand access to affordable health care in Missouri and across the nation.

How To Stop Snoring Dear Savvy Senior, Over the past few years my 57-year-old husband’s snoring has gotten much worse. It’s to the point that I have to either wear earplugs or move to a different room. Any suggestions? Sleep Deprived Susan Dear Susan, Snoring is a very common problem that often gets worse with age. Around 37 million Americans snore on a regular basis according to the National Sleep Center. Snoring occurs when the airway narrows or is partly blocked during sleep usually due to nasal congestion, floppy tissue, alcohol, or enlarged tonsils. But you and your husband also need to know that snoring can be much more than just an annoyance. It can also be a red flag for obstructive sleep apnea, a serious condition in which the snorer stops and starts breathing during sleep, increasing the risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia and hypertension. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 34 percent of men and 19 percent of women who snore routinely have sleep apnea or are at risk for it. Self-Help Remedies Even if you are unsure whether your husband has a primary snoring problem or sleep apnea, sleep experts suggest you start with these steps. Open a stuffy nose: If nasal congestion is causing your husband to snore, over-the-counter nasal strips such as Breathe Right may help. Or, if allergies are the cause, try saline nasal sprays. Elevate his head: Buying a foam wedge to elevate his head a few inches can help reduce snoring, or buy him a contoured pillow to lift his chin and keep the tongue from blocking the back of his throat as he sleeps. Also check out Nora (smartnora.com), a wireless snoring device that slides under the pillow and gently moves the head to a different position when snoring is detected. This, they say, stimulates the relaxed throat muscles and opens the airway. Sleep on side: To prevent back sleeping, which triggers snoring, place a pillow against your husbands back to keep him from rolling over or sew a tennis ball in the back of his pajama shirt. Or check out the Night Shift Sleep Positioner (nightshifttherapy.com), a device that’s worn around the neck that vibrates when you roll on your back. Avoid alcohol before bed: Alcoholic beverages can relax the muscles in the throat, and constrict airflow. He should not consume alcohol three to four hours before bedtime. Lose excess weight: Fat around the neck can compress the upper airway and impede airflow and is often associated with sleep apnea. Quit smoking: Smoking causes inflammation in the upper airways that can make snoring worse. Need More Help If these lifestyle strategies don’t make a big difference, your husband should see his doctor, a sleep specialist, or an otolaryngologist who may recommend an overnight study to test him for apnea. For primary snoring or mild to moderate sleep apnea, an oral appliance that fits into the mouth like a retainer may be prescribed. This shifts the lower jaw and tongue forward, keeping the airway open. Some other options are Theravent snore therapy (theraventsnoring.com) and Provent sleep apnea therapy (proventtherapy.com), which are small nasal devices that attach over the nostrils to improve airflow. But the gold standard for moderate to severe sleep apnea is a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, device. This involves sleeping with a mask and is hooked up to a machine that gently blows air up your nose to keep the passages open. If these don’t work or are intolerable, surgery is an option too. There are procedures available today that remove excess tissue in the nose, mouth, or throat. And a newer procedure called hypoglossal nerve stimulation that uses a small device implanted in the chest to help control the movement of the tongue when it blocks the airway.

Mercy offers ‘Alive at 25’, free driving course for teens Just because a new driver gets their license, it doesn’t mean they’re experts behind the wheel. In fact, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15 to 24 year olds. Mercy is working to change that statistic, by offering a free driving course called “Alive at 25.” Developed by the National Safety Council, the four-hour classroom course teaches young drivers to take greater responsibility for their driving by focusing on behavior, judgment and decision making. Participants will hear how inexperience, distractions and peer pressure can cause driv-
ing hazards. Here are some sobering statistics: - Every year almost 11,000 15 to 24 year olds die in motor vehicle crashes. - Drivers in the 15 to 24 age group account for 14 percent of licensed drivers, but 27 percent of all crashes. The good news is the right tools can help young adults reduce their risk whether they’re the driver or a passenger. Classes begin in April, with both evening and weekend options. To register for the free course, just go online to www.mercy.net/alive. If you have questions, call 417-8207233.

MDC encourages people to Be Bear Aware! As blossoms and buds emerge each spring, so do Missouri’s estimated 300 native black bears. As they leave their winter dens this time of year, finding food is their main focus. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds people to “Be Bear Aware” by not feeding bears and not providing potential sources of food. “As black bears become active in the spring, they are on a mission to find food,” said Laura Conlee, a resource scientist and black-bear researcher with MDC. “It is very important for Missourians to recognize potential food attractants in their area. Things such as bird feeders, trash, barbeque grills, and food waste left out at camp sites can all serve as huge attractions for bears. Keeping our areas free of attractants, and letting bears find natural foods is in everyone’s best interest. If you see a bear, enjoy the sighting, let the bear be, and be sure you don’t offer it any
food. Most importantly, never intentionally feed them.” Conlee added feeding bears makes them comfortable around people, which can also make them dangerous. A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR “When bears lose their fear of people, they may approach people in search of food or may defend the food sources or territory they associate with people, which can make them dangerous,” Conlee said. “When this happens, the bear has to be destroyed. A fed bear is a dead bear.” She added a fed bear that becomes a problem in one place cannot be relocated to another. “Once a bear learns people can provide food, they will seek out other places such as camp sites, residential areas, and farms in search of food,” she explained. “Bears also have an excellent memory and will often return year after year to places where they were provided food.”
Missouri turkey hunters can expect a good spring season overall according to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). The spring turkey hunting season starts with a youth-only weekend April 8-9. The regular spring season runs April 17 through May 7. Although four consecutive years of poor hatches caused Missouri’s turkey population to decline during the late 2000s, improvements in productivity have since resulted in a rebound in turkey numbers throughout much of the state. “Since 2011, we’ve seen an increasing trend in the spring turkey harvest,” MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle said. “A great deal of what makes for a good spring turkey season depends on the hatch two years prior. Although the 2015 hatch was not as high as in 2014, it, along with carry-over from previous years, should result in a strong 2017 harvest.” Isabelle does note that last year’s poor hatch will result in fewer jakes on the landscape. “I think hunters will notice a reduction in the number of jakes they’re used to seeing,” he said. “However, because most hunters prefer to harvest adult gobblers, the effects of last year’s hatch won’t be fully realized until the 2018 spring season.” For most of the state, Isabelle expects this year’s spring turkey harvest to be at or slightly below last year’s mark. Although this year’s harvest total isn’t expected to be as high as last year’s, there are still plenty of gobblers on the landscape to provide some good hunting this year. MDC offers turkey hunting opportunities on more than 500 conservation areas and the state’s diverse landscape means turkey numbers often vary by region. “Although the statewide trend has been an increase in turkey numbers in recent years, we often see varying trends at the regional-level, so hunters should be mindful of what’s going on in their part of the state,” said Isabelle. Regional Forecast Due to a poor hatch in 2015, this year’s turkey harvest in the Northeast and West Prairie regions (see map below) is expected to be down from one year ago. “Both regions had very low poult-to-hen ratios during the summer brood survey a couple years ago, so I’d expect fewer 2-year-old gobblers this year in these regions,” Isabelle said. Isabelle indicated he expects spring harvests in the Ozarks, Lindley Breaks, Union Breaks, Mississippi Lowlands, and Northwest regions (see map below) to be similar to last
year’s. “Production was generally better in these regions in 2015, so I wouldn’t expect them to deviate too much from last year’s mark,” he said. Weather Factors Isabelle noted that weather can have a significant impact on the harvest. “With a relatively short spring hunting season, the weather we experience can have a strong influence on our harvest numbers,” he said. Rain and wind can suppress gobbling activity, so most hunters hope for calm, sunny mornings, especially during weekends when most venture into the woods to hunt. Despite what is shaping up to be an early spring, Isabelle does not believe it will have much of an effect on this year’s spring turkey season. He notes that although an early or late spring can have some influence on the timing of nesting, the turkey breeding season is influenced primarily by the amount of daylight, which keeps the timing of nesting about the same each year.

AVOID ATTRACTING BLACK BEARS MDC offers these tips for avoiding attracting black bears to possible food sources: Don’t leave pet food sitting outside. Feed pets a portion they’ll eat at each meal and remove the empty containers. Store garbage, recyclables, and compost inside a secure building or in a bear-proof container until the day of trash pick-up. Keep grills and smokers clean and store them inside. Don’t use birdfeeders from April through November in bear country, or hang them at least 10 feet high and 4 feet away from any structure. Use electric fencing to keep bears away from beehives, chicken coops, vegetable gardens, orchards, and other potential food sources. Keep campsites clean and store all food, toiletries and trash in a secure vehicle or strung high between two trees. Do not burn or bury garbage or
food waste. AVOID ENCOUNTERS AND REACT RIGHT While close encounters are uncommon, MDC offers this advice when outdoors in blackbear country: Make noise while walking or hiking to prevent surprising a bear. Clap, sing, or talk loudly. Travel in a group if possible. Pay attention to the surroundings and watch for bear sign, such as tracks or claw or bite marks on trees. Keep dogs leashed. Leave a bear alone! Do not approach it. Make sure it has an escape route. If encountering a bear up close, back away slowly with arms raised to look larger. Speak in a calm, loud voice. Do not turn away from the bear. Back away slowly. Do not run. A native to Missouri, black bears were abundant until the late 1800s when they were nearly wiped out from unregulated killing and from habitat loss when Ozark forests were logged. MDC research shows that a small number of native hunting, visit MDC’s web- black bears survived. Over site at http://on.mo.gov/2m- time, their numbers increased VaDnK. and continue to do so.

MDC staff and others show that the animals have been sighted in about half the counties in Missouri, primarily south of the Missouri River, with most bears located in the southern third of the state in the Missouri Ozarks. Black bears are a protected species in Missouri. MDC anticipates a limited hunting season as a population-management method once black bear numbers reach a population
estimate of about 500 animals. The current estimate is about 300. No details regarding the anticipated future hunting season have been developed.

Missouri hires Martin as new head basketball coach by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist
Last week, after a highly anticipated search, Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk named Cuonzo Martin the next head basketball coach of the Tigers. Martin, who had been the coach at California for three seasons, is from East St. Louis and coached at Missouri State, so he has some local ties. One of the key reasons Martin was hired was the hope that he could recruit well, especially in the St. Louis metro area, where numerous talented players have gone on to play at schools other than Missouri. Couple with Washington firing Lorenzo Romar, speculation and reports swirled that Mar-
tin could be in the running to bring highly touted prospect Michael Porter, Jr. to Missouri. Porter played high school basketball in Columbia up until this most recent season, when his family had moved to Washington. Porter presents a fascinating situation, but he is just the first part of a long recruiting story that will go a long way in determining how Martin will fare at Missouri. Martin’s teams are known for their defensive prowess, but they sometimes struggle to score. Developing a decent offense will be key. Of course, talented players always go a long way in that department. As for Martin’s head coaching record so far, you can probably see what you want to see. He’s certainly
a capable coach. In his nine years as head coach, three each at Missouri State, Tennessee and Cal, he has a career 186-121 record, a .606 win percentage. He has six 20-win seasons, but he only has two NCAA Tournament appearances. His Tennessee team did make it to the Sweet 16 in 2014. Martin got some talented players at Cal, but only made the NCAA Tournament there one time, getting upset in the first round. College basketball records can be hard to analyze as nonconference schedules can vary wildly in difficulty. Martin went 6239 at Cal, but a more modest 28-24 in Pac-12 Conference play. Of course, as fun as NCAA Tournament talk is, especially in March, step
one for Martin is to simply get Missouri competitive again. The last seasons were unimaginably bad compared to what Missouri has been as a basketball program over the last 50 years. The sparse crowds and significantly declined fan interest was both understandable and an ominous sign. The Martin hire might provide a spark of interest, as
would good recruiting news. But the ultimate way to bring fans back is by winning. Or at least more consistently competitive basketball. It remains to be seen if any players will transfer due to the coaching change, but Missouri does have some players who seem like they could be useful pieces of a winning team. Although it could be a long rebuilding
process. Fans will probably be patient after the recent depths of the program. Almost anything would be a step in the right direction, and a key player or two could almost instantly upgrade the outlook. There’s usually optimism when a new coaching era begins, and Tiger fans are surely ready to feel hopeful again.
