employees of West Plains Bank and Trust Company are again offering a scholarship program for graduating seniors attending either West Plains High School or Liberty High School. Established in late 2014, the West Plains Bank and Trust Company Employee Scholarship Fund was created by Bank employees with the purpose of supporting college-level study for young people interested in the field of banking, the financial industry or business. “The funds for this scholarship come directly out of the pockets of our employees who view encouraging young people to pursue a career in banking as a means of ensuring a successful future for our industry,” said David M. Gohn, West Plains Bank and Trust Company President and Chief Operating Officer. “A career in banking offers a rewarding opportunity to support community growth and help customers achieve their goals. We are excited to help encourage young people to choose this path.” According to Gohn, two, one-time scholarships in the See WP Bank on Page 4

Mtn. View Police Chief Jamie Perkins stated that these counterfeit bills are the best he has seen. The counterfeit bills are $100 bills and will pass the marker test, strip test and watermark test. Chief Perkins stated that, “Once the bill is turned over to the back side, that’s where you can see the biggest difference.” The difference Chief Perkins refers to is a watermark located on the left hand side of the back of the bill. The watermark is an outline of George Washington’s face and should not appear on a $100 bill. The MVPD suspects that these bills were not only used at stores but may now have circulated back into the public. “If you receive a $100 bill, carefully inspect it,” urged Chief Perkins. Report all suspicious bills and turn them into the MVPD.

Emergency gear donated to first responders The Shannon County First Responders has received a generous donation of five stocked medical response equipment bags from a local donor. Ms Laura Holan of Mountain View donated the funds to purchase the gear after learning that some First Responders had only minimal equipment. (First Responders typically have to buy their own medical supplies.) Five bags were purchased at about $250 a piece. Three went to First Responders in Eminence, one of whom also responds in Winona, and one bag went to a Winona responder and one to a Birch Tree responder. Priority was given to people who responded frequently but were not fully equipped. “I was very excited to get a new bag,” said Eminence Firefighter Tyler Russell, “it’ll help me do a better job helping people in trouble.” An EMT with the Winona First Responders, Shelia

Fox-Sappington added “I thought I was well prepared for a car wreck but now I am more prepared than ever and the new bag allowed me to organize and label everything so that I or another responder on scene can find exactly what we need quickly.” These bags include bag valve masks, cervical collars, splints, tourniquets, special dressings for penetrating injuries such as bullet wounds, pulse oximeters, stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, airway adjuncts, medical shears, hemostats, dressings and bandages. The bags themselves are professional carry bags with compartments that make finding the right equipment in a hurry easier. If anyone else would like to donate to the First Responders, they have a “Wish List” on Amazon.com. Go to Amazon and search for “Shannon County First Responders” under the “Find

a Wish List” tab. There is also a link on their Facebook page, which all residents of Shannon County are encouraged to follow for important community safety information. The Shannon County First Responders are a training and coordination group involving Emergency Medical

Responders with the Birch Tree, Eminence and Winona Fire and Police Departments as well as the Mercy Health Care System. The First Responders respond to medical emergencies, accidents and vehicle wrecks throughout Shannon County. You can find out more on their Facebook page.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering cost-share grant money to help communities improve the care of their trees. These Tree Resource Improvement and Maintenance (TRIM) grants can help government agencies, public schools, and not-forprofit groups manage, improve, and conserve trees and forests on local public land. According to MDC, the grant monies are often used to fund community tree inventories, removal or pruning of hazardous trees, tree planting, and to train volunteers and city and county employees to best care for community trees and forests. “TRIM grant recipients focus on keeping their neighborhood trees healthy and thriving, which translates to a whole host of social, economic, and environmental benefits for the community and the state,” said MDC Forestry Management Chief Justine Gartner. TRIM grants are administered by MDC in cooperation with the Missouri Community Forest Council. The program provides reimbursements of $1,000 to $10,000 to grant recipients to fund up to 60 percent of money needed for projects.

He added that killing feral hogs for sport hinders efforts to eradicate them for a few reasons. “Some hunters intentionally release feral hogs in new areas to establish populations to hunt,” Leary said. “And hunters usually only shoot one or two hogs out of group, while the rest scatter across the landscape and become more difficult to catch. Additionally, feral hogs have such a high reproductive rate that an entire group, called a sounder, must be removed at the same time for eradication efforts to be successful.” Because of that high reproductive rate, more than 70 percent of a feral hog population has to be removed annually See Hogs on Page 4

Liberty Eagle Baseball off to fast start by Brian Ingalls

Nice scoop! Koel Orchard (1) fields a ball during last week’s 11-1 victory over the Norwood Pirates. As the Eagles lead-off hitter, Orchard had a solid game at the plate as well, finishing the game with a base hit, a run scored, and a stolen base. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)

across the board. “Hitting is coming around,” said Liberty Head Coach Allen Hedden as he and the Eagles prepared to face Van Buren this week. “The bottom of the order is putting the ball in play. Hitting is contagious. Once somebody starts hitting, everyone started hitting against (Norwood). They made some miscues on the field, and we made them pay for it. Then in the Winona game…Cale (Cornman) hit a two-run homer to put us up 3-2 and after that we scratched a couple other runs on them.” Leading 5-2, the Eagles were a little nervous in the final inning against Winona as the Wildcats had loaded the bases with two outs. With the strength of their line up at the plate, Winona’s left-fielder hit a fly ball between right and center. It could have spelled trouble and turned a 2-1 start into 1-2, but a run and catch by freshman Coltin Foster ended

The baseball season may have begun on some cold, wet days, but the Liberty Eagles are suddenly off to a hot start. They were briefly derailed on the road in the season opener when

a bad bounce allowed Southern Reynolds to score three runs in the final inning and escape with a 7-6 victory, but it’s been all Eagles since. Liberty bounced back at home with a dominating 11-1 victory over Norwood and a 5-2 victory against Winona thanks to a strong pitching bullpen, and some good batting

Robin Weaver, owner of The Angel Garden, has expanded her business to include an event center. “I wanted to provide a nice place for events,” stated Weaver on the reasoning behind the expansion. The event center, which seats 50-60, features a spacious atmosphere complete with Weaver’s savvy eye for decorating that community members have come to enjoy over the years at The Angel Garden.

Winona’s chances. It hadn’t been a perfect night for the Eagles fielding, but they made the plays when they needed to. “We’ve fielded the ball fairly well,” explained Coach Hedden, “(Against) Winona we had some miscues that helped them score their first run. Other than that, can’t complain. Been doing a pretty good job.” The Eagles have been doing a good job from the pitching mound as well, thanks to several seniors, an up and coming sophomore, and a new arrival. In the early part of the season at least, pitching is clearly the strength of the team. “I’ve got three pretty good seniors that throw on the mound,” said Coach Hedden referring to Cale Cornman, Dakota Millard, and Corbin Dewick. Against Winona, however, the Eagles had the youngest member of the bullpen on the mound. “Koel (Orchard) started for us against Winona. Pitched a good game. Pitched five strong innings for us. He ended up with I think seven strike-outs. His pitch count got up there a little bit and he’s just a sophomore so we took him out and Corbin finished up for us. So we’ve had some pretty good games here.” New transfer, junior Mathew Coatney, who has already made his mark with Liberty basketball, now makes a strong pitching staff even stronger. Hedden explained Coatney hopes to also contribute on defense at another key position. “He’s also going to do a lot of catching,” said Hedden, “Give Cale some relief, let him play a little third base. Save his legs for the rest of the season.” This week, the Eagles hit the road for two games, the first against Van Buren, a team that had started the season 1-2 against three teams from the South Central Association. The Bulldogs lost to Ava, edged Cabool by one, and lost again to Willow Springs. After Van Buren, the Eagles travel to Dora. The Falcons are typically one of the better teams in the area. “We’ve got our hands

full,” admitted Hedden, “but we’re looking forward to it.” The Eagles, who carry plenty of momentum into this week, were one bad break away from starting the season 3-0. After falling behind Southern Reynolds 4-2, Liberty managed to tie the game in the fifth inning, and took a 6-4 lead in the top of the seventh inning. The game was being played with a rule that automatically put a runner on second base as Southern Reynolds started batting. The pressure was on for Liberty’s defense. It got worse as the top of the order came to bat for the Whippets. An infield hit, and another base hit loaded the bases. A smash to center field got under the glove of the Liberty defense, and just like that, all three runs scored and the Eagles lost 7-6 to start the season. “I think that was good learning experience that we had over there,” said Hedden, “That one stung. It hurt. (The team) didn’t like that one bit the other day. We know it was the first game of the year and baseball will break your heart sometimes.” The Eagles couldn’t have bounced back any better. Cale Cornman took the mound against the Norwood Pirates and after a nervous start, settled into a groove and shut them down. Cornman struck out eight, gave up just three hits. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ bats were on fire. Liberty scored three times in the first inning, two more in the second, and six more in the third to take an 11-0

lead. Eight players scored runs for Liberty, and stolen bases from Orchard, Tyler Dewick, Coatney, and Zach Heilig kept the pressure on. A late run by Norwood wasn’t enough to stop the 10-run rule from ending the game in the fifth inning as the Eagles improved to 1-1 on the season. The next game against Winona wasn’t as easy, but Liberty’s defense continued to play strong despite some early mistakes. The game was scoreless until the Wildcats managed a run after a Liberty fielding error. The Eagles answered in the fourth after Corbin Dewick got a base hit and was driven in by Coatney. Liberty added two more runs in the fifth when Cale Cornman hit a homerun that also drove in Tyler Dewick. Orchard scored in the sixth thanks to some nice base running, and by the time the Wildcats were at bat in the top of the seventh, the Eagles were protecting a 5-2 lead. The Eagles got the first two outs immediately, but then Winona threatened to rally after their ninth batter managed a base hit and the top of the order came to the plate and loaded the bases. It took a fantastic catch by Liberty’s right fielder, Coltin Foster to save the day. With that final out, the Eagles took a 5-2 victory, and took plenty of momentum into this week.

‘Focus on Babies’ Diaper Resource Center receives donation “Focus on Babies” Diaper Resource Center (DRC) would like to thank those who contributed financially during February. Nearly $500 was received – a combination of a donation by Southern Bank employees (through their casual Friday program), “Change for a Change” collection at a Grizzly basketball game, and by the members of the Boys and Girls Club of the Greater West Plains Area in a competition between grades. “We are so pleased to have these organizations join with us to raise funds to address ‘diaper need’,” organizers said, “and are looking for-

to decrease populations. “Hunting is not an effective tool for eradicating hogs, and actually compounds the problem by dispersing remaining hogs and fostering a hog-hunting culture,” Leary said. He added that this year’s first-quarter trapping results shows that trapping is the correct method for eradicating feral hogs. Most hogs were trapped in southern Missouri, where the highest density of hogs occurs. “We’ve also trapped hogs in other parts of the state, which unfortunately means people are still intentionally releasing feral hogs for hunting,” Leary said. “It’s vital we continue our efforts and get the hog population under control before it spreads any further.” Earlier this year, MDC partnered with other conservation groups, agriculture organizations, and the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation to provide the state’s feral hog strike team with more trapping equipment to be used by MDC for trapping efforts on private and public land, and to fund

In addition, several area families have joined the cloth diaper loan program sponsored by DRC. Current distributing agencies include First Christian

From Page One public education efforts on the dangers of feral hogs. “The additional traps we are purchasing will greatly enhance our trapping efforts,” Leary said. Feral hogs are not wildlife and are a serious threat to fish, forests and wildlife as well as agricultural resources. Feral hogs have expanded their range in the U.S. from 17 to 38 states over the past 30 years. Their populations grow rapidly because feral hogs can breed any time of year and produce two litters of one to seven piglets every 12 to 15 months. Feral hogs are also known to carry diseases such as swine brucellosis, pseudorabies, trichinosis and leptospirosis, which are a threat to Missouri agriculture and human health. “Our goal is to continue these trapping efforts and encourage reporting of feral hogs rather than hunting them, which is the best way to eradicate this destructive species,” Leary said. To report feral hog sightings or damage, call 573522-4115 ext. 3296, or go online to mdc.mo.gov/feralhog.

Obamacare’s Unhappy 6th Birthday Six years ago last Wednesday, Obamacare was signed into law. Since then, the Administration has intentionally broken the law to hide the laws failure. Let me be clear, the Administration violated the U.S. Constitution and paid insurance companies money illegally. The Constitution states; the President “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed…” The President does not write the laws, and he has no authority to spend money without Congressional approval. Despite that fact, the Administration paid off insurance companies, because they are losing money by participating in Obamacare, with socalled cost sharing reduction payments that clearly violate the framework of our Constitution. The non-partisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) has plainly stated that laws like the Affordable Care Act do not have the authority to allocate taxpayer resources, only Congress can do that during the annual budget process. In other words, the President’s attempts to circumvent Congress and spend taxpayer funds in support of Obamacare are illegal. The Administration knows this. President Obama’s budget request for fiscal year 2014 requested an appropriation of $4 billion for cost sharing reduction payments. The Republican Congress denied that appropriation, but the Administration ignored Congress and paid insurance companies nearly $3 billion in 2014, and continues to make these payments. As a result, the U.S. House of Representatives filed a lawsuit, with my support, against the Department of Health and Human Services to challenge their illegal implementation of Obamacare. On October 19, 2015 a federal judge agreed with the House of Representatives

that we have the legal right to challenge the Administration for spending money that wasn’t approved to be spent by Congress. The lawsuit is still pending, but I am encouraged that the Court will agree that the Obama Administration broke the law because it’s clear as daylight. No matter the outcome, I will continue to vote to repeal Obamacare and end the negative impacts from this fundamentally flawed law. Since I have been sworn into office, the American peoples’ overwhelming disapproval of Obamacare has convinced the President to sign nine major repeals or delays of his namesake law, and earlier this year we put a major repeal bill on the President’s desk. He vetoed our repeal bill, and that’s why our work is yet to be complete. In order to address the flaws of the failed health care law, Speaker Ryan engaged the Republican Conference and challenged us to become the House of ideas. We formed a task force on health care reform to develop and promote bold conservative ideas to fix our broken health care system. Our solutions will modernize American health care with patient-centered answers that improve access, choice, and quality, lower costs, and promote innovation. Our plan doesn’t put the government in between you and your doctor and allows the fundamentals of free market and competition to improve the access to affordable care in this country. It’s time to remove the government from interfering in your health care decisions and time to stop rewarding insurers with a taxpayer bailout. I look forward to working with my colleagues and a republican White House in 2017 to finally repeal the horrible Obamacare law and replace it with a common-sense plan that improves the American health care system without government control. Hopefully next year we will be celebrating the bill signing of a conservative measure to put you and your families healthcare first, not the federal government.

Highlights from the First Half of Session This week marked the halfway point for the Second Regular Session of the 98th General Assembly, and the Senate adjourned for our legislative spring break. Hopefully you and your families were also able to take some time off to spend together during the Easter holiday. I would like to use this week’s column to highlight some of the achievements the Senate has made over the past two and a half months, as well as look ahead at what business will be addressed in the coming months leading up to adjournment in May. Ethics reform was one of the largest goals of the Senate for this first half of Session. Tightening ethical standards for Missouri’s legislators helps to instill faith and trust in the government on the part of the public, and the House and Senate worked together early this Session to achieve these goals. By tackling ethics reform one piece of legislation at a time, the General Assembly has been building comprehensive, yet targeted plans to improve the state government’s ethical guidelines. House Bill 1979 was passed in the House and Senate, with some changes, to prevent legislators from registering as lobbyists until after their elected terms have expired. House Bill 1983 specifies that no statewide elected official or member of the General Assembly shall serve as a paid political consultant. House Bill 2203 changes the laws regarding the investment of campaign funds, which would work to curb corruption and ensure campaign funding is used for its original intent. All of these bills are subject to the

Legislature’s and governor’s final approval. Another main goal for the Senate this Session was to make access to quality health care more efficient and equitable for all Missourians. Our state’s health care costs take up around one-third of the entire budget, which is a massive expenditure. Many residents of the 33rd District know just how much of an expense and a toll medical expenditures can be on a family. This is why the Senate has especially focused on expanding health care access in rural areas of the state by reducing costs as a result of providing best practice care in a timely and coordinated manner. Senate Bill 608 authorizes MO HealthNet providers to charge a minimal fee for missed appointments in addition to creating an emergency room co-payment system. Senate Bill 607 would help reduce fraud and abuse in Missouri’s welfare system. Senate Bill 875 removes barriers to lower the cost of prescription drugs and ensures patients’ safety, and Senate Bill 621 would allow doctors to use telehealth technologies to reach patients remotely in their homes – a huge development for rural communities. These have been just a few of the developments the Senate and House have made this legislative Session, but they are some of the most important. Improving Missouri’s ethical and health care standards is something that benefits all citizens in the Show-Me State. Moving forward, the Senate will continue to focus on these issues as well as tackling the state’s budget until adjournment in mid-May. 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) 7511882.

Funeral services for Dr. M.C. Walton were held Wednesday, March 23, 2016 at the United Methodist Church in Mountain View,

MO with Pastor Edwin Woolsey officiating. Pallbearers were Dr. Jon Roberts, Donald Fisher, Ernie Foster, Bill Bolerjack, David Chapman, and Keith David. Honorary Pallbearer was Lloyd “Goober” Chowning. Interment was in Howell Memorial Park Cemetery in Pomona, MO under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home, LLC of Mountain View, MO. Dr. Marion C. Walton passed into the arms of Jesus early Wednesday morning, March 16, 2016, at the age of 91 after a short illness. He had been living in Dallas, Texas with his daughter. Before moving to Texas, Dr. Walton was a well known resident in Mountain View having served the community for 49 years. Marion was born in Reynold’s Station, Kentucky, on December 31, 1924. He was

the firstborn of 10 children born to Percy and Blanche (Cauley) Walton. His spent his childhood in Central City, Kentucky. It was a very difficult time since money was scarce and the Depression was raging. He started working alongside his father in the coal mines at an early age. This continued throughout high school until he was drafted after his junior year. He served in the Coast Guard or 3 1/2 years until the end of WWII. Marion’s vision to pursue medicine was formed during his military service, but he had no idea how it would be accomplished. God knew, however, and He led Marion to attend Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. He studied hard and managed to finish his pre-med program in 3 years. He continued to follow his passion and entered Temple University Medical School from which he graduated in 1953. Union College was not only the agent of Marion’s education, but it served as the place for his introduction to the love of his life -- Marie Stalford. It took several years to interest her in marriage, but he finally won out. Marion and Marie were married in Binghampton, New York, on August 3, 1952. After graduation, there were several years of training in various places. By the late 1950’s he was eager to start his own practice. Through God’s providence he and the family settled in Willow Springs and, even-

tually, Mountain View. He and his wife purchased a large house and began to serve the people of the region from the clinic they established in their home. He was also instrumental in the success of St. Francis Hospital, where he practiced for approximately 40 years. Marion’s family life was rich with a loving wife and 6 children. The family was raised in Mountain View and each member grew to have great fondness for the community. His love of family was only superseded by his love of Jesus, whom he met and accepted in his heart at a tent revival in 1944. Dr. Walton is survived by his three daughters, Katherine Walton of Lowell, Massachusetts, Joan Chapman and her husband David of Richardson, Texas, and Sarah Stillion and her husband Martin of Edmonds, Washington. He was preceded in death by his beloved Marie, and his three sons Christopher, Thomas, and David. He also has five surviving siblings and five grandchildren. Dr. Walton was a very special person that will always be remembered and certainly missed. He loved people and saw his service as a calling. It was a joy for him to work and serve among those in need. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the House of Abigail in Mountain View, MO. Online condolences can be sent to www.duncanfuneralhomes.com

Students will see slight increase in tuition for FY17 Students attending Missouri State University-West Plains during the 2016-2017 academic year will see a slight increase in their basic tuition. At Wednesday’s executive committee meeting of the Missouri State University Board of Governors in Springfield, members approved a resolution calling for fees to increase $2 per credit hour for in-state residents and $4 per credit hour for out-of-state residents beginning with the 2016 fall semester. The increases will put tuition at $121 per credit hour for Missouri residents and $242 per credit hour for non-Missouri residents. Tuition is lower for Missouri residents because Missouri StateWest Plains is a state-assisted institution, university officials explained. “We at Missouri State University-West Plains are very mindful of the impact that increasing tuition has on students from our area,” Chancellor Drew Bennett said. “We carefully weigh the growing needs of our campus and the standards that we want to maintain against what it will cost our students in tuition and the other sources of revenue available when making these decisions.” There is a caveat to the increase in the Missouri resident rate, university officials said. In his proposed budget, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has recommended a 6 percent increase in appropriations for Missouri State University, including the West Plains campus. If the Truly Agreed To And Finally Passed FY2017 State of Missouri Budget has this 6 percent state appropriation increase for the university and there are no withholdings other than the traditional 3 percent, the $2 tuition increase for in-state residents will be waived. Several other increases, however, are still planned. The fee charged for online courses will go from $135 to $137 per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students, and courses in the Associate of Science in Nursing degree program will go from $152 to $154 per credit hour for Missouri residents and $304 to $308 per credit hour for out-ofstate students. Students in the Associate of Applied Science in Respiratory Care program, however, will pay the same tuition as this past year, $144 per credit hour for in-state students and $288 per credit hour for out-of-state students. University officials explained the fee structure for online, nursing and respiratory care courses

Coordinator Deanna Smith. Those who attend the session will receive information about program eligibility and how to apply, she said. “This is an exciting new degree program which incorporates cutting edge topics with flexible course delivery formats to prepare students for a dynamic career in areas such as criminal justice, law enforcement, juvenile justice, victims’ services and institutional corrections, to name a few,” Smith said. “Advisers will assist students with course pre-requisite information and develop a pathway to degree completion.”

is different than that for other classes due to the additional costs associated in providing these programs. Fees for classes in the Viticulture and Enology Science and Technology Alliance (VESTA) program, headquartered at the Missouri State University campus in Mountain Grove, will increase, as well, going from $199 per credit hour to $210 per credit hour. The resolution also outlined changes to the student services fee structure. Instead of charging separate fees for capital projects, student activities, professional services, computer and technology, and the Student Recreation Center, university officials have decided to combine all of these charges with the application fee, diploma fee, graduation fee, transcript fee, and cap and gown fee into one $17 Common Fee that will charged by the credit hour.

University officials said combining the fees into one will make it easier to manage refunds of federal aid grants, remove barriers of application for admission, and potentially increase graduation rates by not requiring students to pay several graduation-related fees in the last semester. It also will make it easier for students to calculate all of their charges each semester. The $17 per-credit-hour fee, which also includes a two-year subscription to the Chalk and Wire online software product that students use to upload electronic documents and assignments for their capstone courses, is designed to maintain the current funding level for the accounts the fees have historically funded, university officials said. Course fees for high school dual credit and dual enrollment students will remain at $60 per credit hour – half of the tuition rate for Missouri residents,

rounded to the nearest dollar. What will change is that dual credit students taking dual credit courses at area high schools will be charged a modified Common Fee of $6 per credit hour beginning this fall, bringing the total charge to $66 per credit hour. Dual enrollment students taking courses on the Missouri StateWest Plains campus will pay the $17 per credit hour Common Fee. Students staying in the Grizzly House residence hall also will see an increase in room and board. Those fees will go up from $2,795 per semester for housing and a 20-meal-perweek plan at the Putnam Student Center cafeteria to $2,851 per semester in 2016-17. Summer charges will increase from $1,194 to $1,218. For more information about tuition and student fees, contact the Missouri State-West Plains business office at 417-255-7260.

Members of the Missouri State University Board of Governors have approved the addition of the Associate of Arts in the Health Professions degree to the list of academic programs available at the Missouri State-West Plains campus. The action took place at the March 16 meeting of the board’s executive committee in Springfield. The proposed program will now be submitted to the Missouri Coordinating Board of Higher Education (CBHE) for approval at its meeting April 13-14. According to the resolution’s text, the new degree will be beneficial to students planning to become a physician assistant, physical therapist or other related health professional as it constitutes the first two years of a fouryear program in these professions. It was developed in collaboration with the Missouri State University Biomedical Sciences Department specifically to give local students a pathway to complete health profession degrees at the Springfield campus. Because of the degree’s 42-credit-hour general education block, however, students may choose to transfer to other institutions offering similar programs, knowing they will have met the general education requirements at that institution, as well. “The initial submission is an emphasis in providing students interested in the physician assistant program in Springfield with an opportunity to get a head start in West Plains,” explained Joyce Jennings-Pineda, assistant professor of biomedical science and biology at Missouri State-West Plains. “It consists of the 42-hour block of transferable general education with additional credit hours representing specific prerequisites toward the bachelor’s degree in cell and molecular biology offered in Springfield. It also emphasizes the pre-professional prerequisites required for entry into the Master of Science Physician Assistant Program. Entry into most health professions is dependent on successful completion of these same prerequisites. As a result, it will benefit students pursuing other four-year programs such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, radiation technology, dental hygiene, pharmacy and related disciplines.” Dr. Steven Dodge, director of the physician assitant program at the Springfield campus, indicated in visits with faculty in the Missouri State-West Plains Biomedical Sciences Department a desire to expand the program into rural areas where need for these services is the greatest, Pineda explained. “With the new degree, it will be possible for future PAs to receive an important part of their undergraduate education here in West Plains and then go to Springfield to complete their degree and begin the first part of their PA training. In their final year of training, they can return to West Plains to complete their clinical training with local physicians and surgeons. Experience strongly suggests that such students will be very likely to remain

in the West Plains area to practice and thereby help alleviate the shortage of practitioners,” she said. According to national projections from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the health care industry will add more jobs than any other sector through the year 2018. Employment of health care occupations is projected to grow 19 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations, adding about 2.3 million new jobs. In Missouri, there will be over 3,000 projected openings for physician assistants, physical therapists and other related health professions between 2012-2022, state figures show. “Health care occupations will add more jobs than any other group of occupations,” Pineda said. “This expected growth is due to an aging population and an increase in the number of individuals who have access to health insurance because of federal health insurance reforms.” Helping to reduce the shortage of health care providers in rural Missouri is an important part of the mission of the physician assistant program at Missouri State University, Pineda added. “It has long been noted in medicine that where clinicians learn their profession tends to be where they end up practicing after the completion of their training,” she explained. “Therefore, officials with the Missouri State program hope to increase the number of PAs practicing in rural areas through two main strategies – recruiting students from rural communities and arranging for as much of their education as possible to occur in or near their hometowns. In the future, the goal is to increase the number of students entering all the health professions by packaging courses specific to their needs, which they can complete on the West Plains campus, and use those courses as a platform to continue their education in a number of different fields.” Pineda pointed out a survey of all Missouri StateWest Plains students in the biomedical and biological sciences departments during the 2015 spring and fall semesters indicated a strong interest in the program already, and there was strong attendance by students at a natural sciences career program sponsored by the departments last September. The program included faculty representing the biology, biomedical science and chemistry departments on Springfield campus whose presentations focused on the courses students should take at Missouri State-West Plains before transferring. If the Associate of Arts in the Health Professions degree is approved by CBHE, Missouri State-West Plains will then be authorized to offer 19 associate degrees and 24 certificate programs. For more information about these degrees and certificate options, visit the Missouri State-West Plains website, www.wp.missouristate.edu, or call the admissions office at 417-2557955.

The Consequences of Dying Without a Will Dear Savvy Senior, What will happen to my money and possessions if I die without a will? Getting Old Dear Getting, If you die without a will, what happens to your assets will be determined by the state you reside in. Every state has intestacy laws in place that parcel out property and assets to a deceased person’s closest relatives when there’s no will or trust. But these laws vary from state-to-state. A good resource to help you find out how your state works is About.com’s Wills and Estate Planning site, which provides a state-by-state breakdown of how your estate would be distributed if you die without a will. See StateIntestacyLaws.com for a direct link to this page. In the meantime, here is a general (not state specific) breakdown of what can happen to a person’s assets, depending on whom they leave behind. Married with children: When a married person with children dies without a will, all property, investments and financial accounts that are “jointly owned” automatically goes to the surviving co-owner (typically the spouse or child), without going through probate, which is the legal process that distributes a deceased person’s assets. But for all other separately owned property or individual financial accounts, the laws of most states award one-third to one-half to the surviving spouse, while the rest goes to the children. Married with no children or grandchildren: Some states award the entire estate to the surviving spouse, or everything up to a certain amount (for example the first $100,000). But many other states award only one-third to one-half of the decedent’s separately owned assets to the surviving spouse, with the remainder generally going to the deceased person’s parents, or if the parents are dead, to brothers and sisters. Jointly owned property, investments, financial accounts, or community property automatically goes to the surviving co-owner. Single with children: All state laws provide that the entire estate goes to the children, in equal shares. If an adult child of the decedent has died, then that child’s children (the decedent’s grandchildren) split their parent’s share. Single with no children or grandchildren: In this situation, most state laws favor the deceased person’s parents. If both parents are deceased, many states divide the property among the brothers and sisters, or if they are not living, their children (your nieces and nephews). If there are none of them, it goes to the next of kin, and if there is no living family, the state takes it. Make a Will To ensure your assets go to those you want to receive them, you need to create a will. If you have a simple estate and an uncomplicated family situation, there are several good doit-yourself resources that can help you for very little money. One of the best is the Quicken WillMaker Plus 2016 software (available at nolo.com) that costs $55, works with Windows personal computers and is valid in every state except Louisiana. If you use a Mac, they offer an online will maker for $35. If, however, you want or need assistance or if you have a complicated financial situation, blended family or have considerable assets, you should hire an attorney. An experienced attorney can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. Costs will vary depending on where you reside, but you can expect to pay anywhere between $200 and $1,000 for a will. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela. org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc.org) are good resources that have online directories to help you find someone in your area. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see findlegalhelp.org) to find low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral. 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.

MDC encourages celebrating Missouri trees during Arbor Days in April The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages Missourians to celebrate the value of Missouri trees and forests during Arbor Days in April by planting native trees and practicing proper tree care. Missouri Arbor Day is Friday, April 1. Missouri has been observing the state’s official Arbor Day on the first Friday in April since 1886 when the General Assembly declared that day be set aside for the appreciation and planting of trees. National Arbor Day is recognized on the last Friday of April, which is April 29 for 2016. Get information from MDC on backyard tree care – including types of trees for urban and other landscapes, selecting the right tree for the right place, planting tips, watering and pruning info, and more -- from the Department’s website at mdc.mo.gov/your-property/ your-trees-and-woods/backyard-tree-care. MDC’s George O. White State Forest Nursery near Licking offers Missouri residents a

variety of low-cost native tree and shrub seedlings for reforestation, windbreaks, erosion control, and wildlife food and cover. Orders are accepted from Nov. 1 to April 15 every year. For more information, visit the MDC website at mdc.mo.gov/your-property/ seedling-orders-and-plantingguide/seedling-order-how. Communities around the state also hold local Arbor Day activities.

Ted Probert, a University of Missouri Extension dairy specialist located at the Wright County Extension Center in Mt. Grove, will host a pasture walk starting at 11 a.m., Wednesday, March 30 at Dale and Nathaniel Carter’s Clove Hill Dairy.

The Carters recently purchased a 200-acre addition to the farm that is scheduled for renovation this year. They would like to show the new place and discuss development plans. “Next week the cows will be grazing winter annual pastures that contain cereal rye, vetch, turnips, and several other forages. We will have the opportunity to walk and evaluate these pastures,” said Ted Probert, dairy specialist with University of Missouri Extension. “Dale will explain why they have made this decision and discuss progress toward organic management and certification,” said Probert. Directions to Clover Hill: Traveling on Hwy 60 toward Mountain Grove, take the 95 Hwy exit at Mountain Grove and go north on Hwy 95 about four miles to the dairy located on the right.

BIRD LOVERS: Volunteer to help MDC with breeding bird survey Calling all birders and other bird-lovers in Missouri! The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) needs volunteers to help with the 2016 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) in June. The BBS is a long-term, large-scale, international bird monitoring program that started in 1966 to track the status and trends of North American bird populations. Missouri survey routes in need of volunteers are in or around: Auburn, Cassville, Diamond, Dover, Elmo, Emden, Frankford, Kennett, Pineville, Pulaski, and Reeds. “Bird populations have numerous widespread threats such as habitat loss and fragmentation, land-use changes, and chemical contaminants,” said MDC Resource Scientist Janet Haslerig. “If BBS survey data shows significant declines in certain areas and/or species, scientists can then work on identifying causes and conservationists can take action before populations reach critically low levels.” Haslerig said volunteers need access to suitable transportation, good hearing and eyesight, and must be able to identify all birds in the area. All new BBS volunteers must complete on-line training. She also stressed that knowing bird songs is extremely important because most birds counted are singing males. Each survey route is 24.5 miles long with stops at half-mile intervals. At each stop, volunteers conduct three-minute point counts where they record data on the bird species and numbers they see or hear within a quarter-mile radius. Surveys start one-half hour before

sunrise and take a maximum of about five hours. Volunteers conduct surveys on each route only one or two days during the annual survey time period. To volunteer for the BBS, contact MDC Resource Scientist Janet Haslerig by email at Janet.Haslerig@mdc.mo.gov or call 573-522-4115, ext. 3198. Haslerig also hopes volunteers will commit to multiple

years of surveying the same routes. “It helps with the consistency in data collection,” she said. “Volunteers also get familiar with the routes and have better ideas what birds they will encounter. And it’s fun!” For more information on birds of Missouri, visit the MDC online Field Guide at nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/search.

MDC: Spring turkey season looks good for hunters 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 9-10. The regular spring season runs April 18 through May 8. Although turkey abundance in most of the state remains below the peak that occurred in the late 1990s and early 2000s, turkey numbers in many areas have begun to rebound from the poor hatches that plagued the population from 2007-2010.

“Spring turkey harvest has increased each year in Missouri for the past four years and this year’s harvest is expected to continue this trend,” MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle said. “A good number of two-yearold gobblers from the 2014 hatch should result in good hunting opportunities for this year’s season.” Isabelle noted that MDC offers turkey hunting opportunities on more than 500 conservation areas and the state’s diverse landscapes mean turkey numbers often vary by region.

On February 6 the Missouri Department of Conservation partnered with the Heart of the Ozarks Quail Forever Chapter and held a youth pheasant and chucker bird hunt. The hunt was held at Ozark Wings Game Bird Hunting Preserve Owned by Chuck and Janet Pergason in Howell County. Ten youths between the age of 11 and 15 signed up for the event. Youths had the opportunity to shoot clay pigeons and hone their shooting skills at Ozark Sporting Clays owned by Rick and Beverly Hamby before the actual hunt began. During the hunt, pheasants and chuckers were placed and held in traps, and then the traps were placed throughout a field that was planted with grain crops. The youths were paired up with a guide and one bird dog. When the bird dog pointed the bird in the trap, the guide would then place the youths a safe distance apart with one youth being the first shooter. The guide would discuss the

safe zones of fire, and then spring the trap. This type of hunt allows youths to experience how to bird hunt with a dog. Each youth attending the hunt had the opportunity to shoot a pheasant and chucker. The youth hunt ended with the Quail Forever Chapter providing lunch for the youths and adults who at-

Regional Forecast Northwest and northeast Missouri had the best turkey production in 2014, so hunters should encounter more two-year-old gobblers in both regions this spring. “This year’s spring turkey harvest should be up in northern Missouri compared to the 2015 harvest total,” Isabelle said. “Although turkey numbers in most of northern Missouri remain well below the population peak that occurred 10–15 years ago, turkey populations have begun to rebound in portions of the region during the last several

years.” “Many of the counties in in the state in spring harIsabelle added that the these regions typically rank vest, and these counties are spring season should be good among the highest in the likely to do so in 2016 as for hunters in the Ozarks as state for spring turkey har- well,” Isabelle said. well, especially in the east- vest, and this year should Find detailed information ern Ozarks where turkey be no exception,” he said. on harvest limits, allowed production has been the “The turkey population in hunting methods, hunter highest in the state in three southwestern Missouri in education requirements, out of the last four years.
