Troop G to conduct sobriety checkpoint Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a sobriety checkpoint will be held in Douglas County sometime in the month of May. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with area law enforcement, will conduct the checkpoint. Sobriety checkpoints are part of the Patrol’s efforts to remove careless and impaired drivers from Missouri’s highways. This enforcement operation will be conducted at a location which has been found to experience a higher than normal number of alcoholrelated contacts, hazardous driving contacts, and traffic crashes. “The use of sobriety checkpoints enables the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways,” said Captain Inman. “Please, never drink and drive.” The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”

Patrol assists Sheriff’s Department with inmate death investigation The Missouri State Highway Patrol is assisting the Howell County Sheriff’s Department with a death investigation where the decedent was an incarcerated person in the Howell County Jail. At approximately 2:40 p.m., on April 5, 2017, Victor L.
Angles, age 62, was found unresponsive in his cell by a jail trustee. Emergency personnel responded and were unable to revive Angles. He was pronounced dead at the jail by Howell County Coroner Tim Cherry. According to investigators, no cause
of death was immediately apparent. Records indicate Angles was being held on a charge of burglary in the first degree, which stemmed from a February 2017 incident in Howell County. Investigators with the Patrol’s Division of Drug
and Crime Control became involved following a request from the Howell County Sheriff. This investigation is being continued in conjunction with the Howell County Sheriff’s Department and the Howell County Coroner’s Office.

WITH A TURN OF THE SHOVELS, Mary Hass Sheid and members of the extended Hass family, William and Virginia Darr of Springfield, and officials with Missouri State University-West Plains “officially” broke ground Friday afternoon, March 31, on Hass-Darr Hall. Calling it “a dream 20 years in the making,” Missouri State-West Plains Chancellor Drew Bennett said the facility will house the “dreams and ambitions” of the campus’ students. When completed in early 2018, the $4.1 million construction/ renovation project at the site of the former West Plains Post Office on Garfield Avenue will provide a home for the Carol Silvey Student Union, the Drago College Store, William and Virginia Darr Honors Program, Veterans Center, admissions office, tutoring services and other much needed classroom and administrative office space that will enhance student learning and academic success. It is being financed with $1.5 million in state bonding funds; over $1.5 million in donations, including significant gifts from Mary Hass Sheid of West Plains, Judge William R. and Jeanne Hass of Springfield and formerly of Thayer, Judge William T. Hass of Thayer, and Tim and Missy Hass Myers of Bentonville, Arkansas, and the Darrs; and campus reserves. Speaking on behalf of the Hass family, Mary Hass Sheid called Missouri State-West Plains “a tremendous campus” that is “doing great things,” and William Darr added he and his wife were “delighted” to be part of the project. Missouri State University System President Clif Smart said with the groundbreaking, three priorities for Missouri State-West Plains have been addressed – the additions of Gohn Hall and Hass-Darr Hall, and developing a state appropriations formula between the Springfield and West Plains campuses that has increased funding per student. With the shovels, from left, are Smart; Judge William T. Hass; Ashley Jeanne Casad, Baltimore, Md., daughter of Mary Hass Sheid; Mary Hass Sheid (behind Ashley Casad); Jeanne Hass; Bennett; William and Virginia Darr; Missy Hass Myers; and Judge William R.

Lady Eagles Soccer dominates West Plains Zizzers by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com
The Lady Eagles had a busy weekend competing in the Greenwood Classic but that didn’t stop them from dominating the West Plains Lady Zizzers on Monday. Not only did the Lady Eagles come off of a two-game weekend but they were playing without their three seniors, leaving them without any subs. The game was a battle from the beginning to end for both teams. The Lady Eagles were the first to strike in the sixth minute of the game. Sophomore Amanda
Mantel had a beautiful drive down the field to score. The first half would come to an end with the score remaining 1-0. The second half began much like the first with Mantel scoring the second goal of the game just eight minutes in. The Lady Zizzers rallied behind seniors Emily Riggs and Shelby Foster who scored the first goal for West Plains in the sixteenth minute of play. The final goal of the game would come just eleven minutes before the whistle as Mantel made an incredible shot from the corner. The game would end 3-1 for
the Lady Eagles. For the game, Mantel had three goals earning her second hat trick of the season. Abigail Reese had one assist, Lupe Salinas ended the game with 14 saves and a PK stop with no time left in the game. During the Greenwood Classic the Lady Eagles defeated host Greenwood 6-4. Mantel scored four goals, Angelina Herold scored one goal and Guadalupe scored one goal from a free kick. Assists were credited to Mantel, Herold and Tehya Pierce. For the game, Lupe Salinas had 7 saves. The championship game was held between KC O’Ha-
ra and the Lady Eagles. KC O’Hara defeated Liberty 0-12 earning Liberty second place at the tournament. The Lady Eagles game against Rogersville scheduled for April 6 has been rescheduled to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11 in Rogersville.
competed better each game. Four games in five days is a lot for a veteran team, let alone a young team. That was without their Seniors.” Junior Koel Orchard and sophomore Colton Foster pitched for just over five innings against Houston on Monday. They combined to strikeout six batters, but four fielding errors by Liberty, and two big innings by Houston, gave the Tigers a 12-1 victory. The Eagles actually led 2-1 in the early going, as both Orchard and Foster crossed the plate thanks to RBI’s from sophomore Andrew Holden and freshman Ethan Smith. Struggles by the Houston pitching staff didn’t hurt, either. The Tigers walked 8 batters for the game, and the Eagles got those two runs with only one base hit from Smith. The lead, however, was short-lived. Six runs by Houston in the second put the Tigers on top to stay, and after scoring those first two runs, Liberty was held scoreless the rest of the afternoon. The Tigers, leading 7-2, scored four more times in the sixth inning to put the game away with a 12-1 victory. The Eagles were on the road the following day to take on a Norwood Pirates team that
has victories against Crane and Willow Springs. When the Eagles arrived Tuesday, the Pirates were sitting at 3-1 on the season, and still smarting from a 7-4 loss to Hartville. Norwood took out their frustrations on a Liberty team minus their seniors, and put up 13 base hits including three doubles and three triples. Norwood took a 3-1 lead in the first inning after the Eagles continued their habit of scoring early. For the next two innings, neither team put points on the board, but in the fourth, Norwood scored twice, scored again in the fifth, and exploded for five runs in the sixth to run away with an 11-1 victory. The Eagles’ bats were quiet after the opening inning, managing just two hits as the Pirates’ senior pitcher Lukas Brown threw a complete game, struck out seven and walked just one. Liberty got hits from Orchard and Holden on the day. Holden added a sacrifice fly for an RBI that brought Orchard home in the first, but otherwise, there just wasn’t much happening at the plate. Brown kept the Eagles off the bases most of the day. Liberty caught a two-day break before playing again, but
they didn’t catch any breaks from the schedule as they were back on the road against the undefeated Salem Tigers. The Tigers had already defeated Houston 14-4, and dominated a strong Licking Wildcats team 13-1 the previous week. Last Thursday on the road for the third straight time, the Eagles were simply outgunned. Salem capitalized on three errors by the Eagles, put up eight hits, and scored 11 runs to win 11-1 in five innings. Salem’s biggest inning was the first, when they put the Eagles in a 6-0 hole. The Tigers made it 8-0 with two more runs in the third. Liberty got on the board in the fourth when freshman Devin Wallander hit a double and later scored thanks to an RBI from junior Riky Williams. That was all the action the Eagles could manage at the plate, and it was a rough day on the mound for Holden and junior A.J. Foster as well. The loss to Salem finally ended the stretch of road games and allowed the Eagles to get back to some friendlier confines at Mountain View. Even at home, however, the competition was tough. A day after playing undefeated Salem, the Eagles welcomed an undefeated East Carter team and in the early going, it looked like another long afternoon. The Redbirds had jumped out to a 4-0 lead after scoring three times in the top of the third inning. Maybe it was playing at home, or maybe it was because the seniors were back, but the

It was no day at the beach for the underclassmen by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It’s what is called a rough patch. While the Senior class was enjoying life on the beach during the Senior Trip, the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were battling it out on the baseball diamond with three straight road games, but struggles at the plate, and good opponents kept Liberty out of win column for the week. Just getting base hits was a challenge. During the stretch, the Liberty bats were mostly silent as the Eagles managed only four base hits in 17 innings, losing road games to Houston, Norwood, and Salem. Friday, the seniors were back and the Eagles were at home, playing much better in a loss in a 4-3 loss to East Carter. This week, Liberty faced Thayer at home on Monday, and is on the road to Mountain Grove on Thursday as they try to snap a six-game losing streak. In some respects, these sorts of valleys during the season are not entirely unexpected, especially last week. “We’re a young team,” said Liberty Eagles Head Coach Allen Hedden, “I thought we

suddenly the Eagles weren’t going away. The seniors shook off some rust and beach sand as the Eagles chipped away at the lead. Orchard went 2 for 4 with two base hits, and the Eagles got hits from Smith and senior Brenton Bush as well. This time Liberty was consistently putting men on base. Foster stole two for the day and Smith picked up another. Meanwhile the Eagles were shutting down the Redbirds, not allowing another run. That was compliments of senior Devin Hedden who pitched six innings and finished with a 1.17 ERA, giving up a total of just four hits and only one earned run. Liberty cut the lead to 4-1 in the fourth, 4-2 in the fifth, and scored again in the seventh inning, falling just one run short
as the Redbirds escaped with a 4-3 win. It wasn’t the victory the Eagles were looking for, but the seniors were back, and a difficult stretch of road games was in the rear view mirror. This week, is hopefully a bounce back sort of week.

MV Electric Department speaks at chamber of commerce meeting submitted by the Mtn. View Chamber of Commerce The city of Mountain View is working to improve its electric department infrastructure and reduce citywide demand. Recent efforts were discussed at last week’s Mountain View Chamber of Commerce meeting. Guest speaker electric department supervisor Josh Ennis told chamber members that he and his crew have been installing new poles and equipment to update the city’s system before they join the Mid-Missouri Municipal Power Energy Pool (MMMPEP). “As many of you know, we will be joining MMMPEP next year, we are working towards decreasing citywide demand in advance,” explained Ennis. Reducing demand can reduce the cost of electric supplied to the city. Ennis said there some areas in the city where equipment may not match a businesses’ current usage. “We are trying to get to as many of those as we can,” Ennis stated. For some businesses, this might mean they need to make changes inside the business to make sure their electric equipment matches their current needs. “Any costs or changes associated with work inside a business would be at the expense of
the business,” Ennis cautioned. “They would have to hire an electrician to do the work. The city does not do work inside any building. Anything past the meter is the customer’s responsibility.” Mark Castaneda of Brown’s Farm and Garden said Brown’s was one of those businesses that had already taken corrective action. “We had electrician Danny Scharpf come in and determine what we needed and make necessary changes,” said Castaneda. The electric department was then able to change out the pole and equipment outside. Castaneda said the business is already seeing a savings on their electric bill. “We are not paying for the unused power that we had to pay for before,” said Castaneda. “It may cost a little in the beginning but it will save in the long run,” Danny Scharpf of Scharpf Plumbing and Electric (417-331-0742) confirmed. Strike Zone Pizza & Bowling owner Lucinda Burton said they were another business who had to make changes inside. The bowling alley is located in a former manufacturing building that required quite a bit more electric than the bowling alley does. The Burtons had electrician John Krasuski work on their building recently and are looking forward to seeing a difference on their next utility bill. Ennis said the electric depart-

ment is also switching to LED lights whenever possible as another means of reducing electric usage. This is easy step for businesses and residents to take as well. “I have switched out all the lights in my home with 8.5 watt LED bulbs,” Ennis stated. “The 8.5 watt LED bulbs replace the 60 watt traditional incandescent bulb.” Susan Frazier of Southwest Baptist University asked what brand he used and he said Sylvania. He said LED bulbs are offered in a variety of light styles. “I use daylight. It has a bluish tint and is the brightest. Some people don’t like it. They still have the soft white and cool light
styles in LED,” said Ennis. Another way to reduce electric usage is to use energy-efficient Energy Star rated appliances and equipment. Businesses and resident can also help in keeping citywide demand down by stagger their electric usage to avoid peak demand. City administrator Mike Wake said typically the city sees peak usage between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., especially during the winter. “Folks are getting up, turning up the heat, taking showers, cooking and turning on equipment at their business,” said Wake. “Try to stagger your high electric usage activities so that
LIBERAL fili-BUST-er On Friday, with the confirmation of our newest Supreme Court member, Justice Neil Gorsuch, the American people were finally able to claim victory over liberal obstructionists in the United States Senate. With Gorsuch behind the bench, we have a Justice who respects personal freedom and liberty. He knows our Constitution is a document that defers power from the federal government to the states, and puts the rights of individuals ahead of the interests of bureaucrats in Washington. Throughout his career, Judge Gorsuch has consistently stood on the side of religious freedom and the right to life of the unborn. One of his most notable decisions came in the 2014 Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case, in which Gorsuch upheld that the federal government could not force businesses to offer coverage for abortion services. Judge Gorsuch echoes the qualities of Justice Scalia, making him the perfect replacement to restore conservatism and balance back to the Supreme Court. Justice Scalia’s seat on the court does not belong to any president or any political party, but to the American people. But if you’ve watched the news over the past week, you already know that liberals in the Senate have treated Justice Scalia’s vacant seat as an opportunity to put politics ahead of what the American people rightfully asked and voted for in November when they elected President Trump. The Senate’s work on everything from Trump’s Cabinet to filling Justice Scalia’s seat has been halted by the actions of liberal obstructionists. And you know who loses in that situation? The American people. Unfortunately, obstructionism is a pattern of behavior from the left. Instead of investing in an agenda that’s best for the American people, liberals in the Senate have given us the longest Cabinet nomination and confirmation process in the history of an administration. President Trump still does not have an Agriculture or Labor Secretary and it’s because the left is continuing to obstruct the process. Right now, President Trump only has 22 of his nominees confirmed. At the same time in the last administration, Obama had a whopping 54 nominees confirmed – more than TWICE the amount President Trump has. Political tactics from the far left were meant to prevent one of the most qualified judges of all time from being confirmed to the Supreme Court. For purely partisan purposes, they tried to stop the guy who in 2006 had zero opposition from the Senate and the support of senators like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Gorsuch’s nomination should come as no surprise to the left, but they seem to forget that during the campaign, Trump shared a list of people he would nominate to the Supreme Court if he won. The American people took this into consideration, and voted for Trump’s plan when they elected him in November. The left threw up roadblocks at every turn throughout Gorsuch’s confirmation process. Before this week, there had never been a successful partisan filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee in American history. But the liberals tried this anyway, using a filibuster to prevent a vote. I applaud conservatives in the Senate for showing leadership and changing the rules to go around the liberal’s filibuster and bring Judge Gorsuch’s confirmation up for a simple majority vote. It is time for liberals to move on from obstructing the government and work to advance the agenda Americans voted for in November. With the election of President Trump, Americans proclaimed their desire for a smaller government and less intrusion. They want a healthcare system that actually works, not one with premiums that are higher than their mortgage. They want the IRS scaled back and their tax returns to fit on a single postcard. Most importantly, they want the government out of their business and out of their pocketbook. We must deliver on what the American people have asked.
you are not completing them all at once.” In the summer, peak demand time typically occurs in the late afternoon and evening when folks might be cooling their homes or businesses at the hottest time of the day and are also cooking, doing laundry and other high electric demand tasks. If some of those activities could be completed later in the evening or in the morning when it is cooler, it would help keep demand down. “Demand is like a bucket full of water,” said Wake. “Pour it out all at once and it has to be refilled much faster and with a greater amount of water at one time than if you pour it out a little at a time and refill at a trickle.” The city has to pay for the maximum amount of electric they might need at any one time, whether or not they are using it all the time. The goal is to keep electric flow at a steady lower stream to avoid the higher demand charges that come with those peak electric flow demands. Bill Echols of Sunshine Market, one of the businesses in town that enjoys the benefits of solar power, said solar equipment is getting cheaper and suggested the city consider a community solar program. “The maintenance shed would be a good location for placing solar panels,” noted Echols. He said the program could be designed for customers to purchase their own solar panel equipment and have it metered or the customers could pay the city for a share in the solar energy system and receive an equivalent proportion of the savings from solar power generated. Other energy savings tips include the following from Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative’s website: Washing clothes - wash laundry with cold water instead of warm or hot, avoid small loads or match settings to the size of load, soak heavily soiled clothes and use shorter cycles for lightly soiled clothes; Drying clothes - don’t overload the dryer, use the moisture sensor dryer setting to avoid
over drying and wasting electricity, clean the lint filter before every load, dry light weight items together, dry loads consecutively, use the cool-down cycle, remove clothes right away to avoid wrinkle and line dry laundry in nice weather; Washing dishes – soak heavily soiled dishes before washing, rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher Cooking - use a microwave or toaster oven instead of an oven to reheat leftovers or cook small meals, match pot size to burner size on ovens and clean burners on gas ranges regularly Refrigeration – keep the refrigerator in the coolest part of the house, set your refrigerator to 35 to 38 degrees, allow room behind the fridge for air circulation, keep condenser coils clean, check seals to make sure they close tightly, keep fridge level, cover refrigerated foods to prevent moisture build up that causes fridge to work harder, let hot foods cool before putting in the fridge, don’t overload the fridge and don’t keep the fridge door open any longer than necessary Freezing – organize freezer so items are easily found, defrost regularly and don’t let ice buildup more than one-fourth inch deep, keep freezer between – and 5 degrees F, keep freezer away from heat sources (ovens, water heaters, heating vents) Hot water heating - set hot water heater temperature at 120 degrees, use an insulated jacket around the heater and turn off the heater when you will be away for an extended time. HVAC systems - check filters every month and replace every three months or sooner if they look dirty, have your HVAC equipment checked and tuned up annually, consider using a programmable thermostat, seal heating and cooling ducts to reduce energy loss and improve efficiency, make sure window air conditioning units fit snuggly and outdoor air is blocked, replace drafty, old windows with Energy-star rated windows and cover outdoor air conditioning units before winter to prevent air leakage

Shannon Co. Sheriff’s Office to hold ‘Drug Take Back’
On Saturday, April 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its 13th opportunity in 7 years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your pills for disposal to the Shannon County Jail at 18078 2nd St. (The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last October, Americans turned in 366 tons (over 730,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,200 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,000 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 12 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 7.1 million pounds—more than 3,500 tons—of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the April 29 Take Back Day event, go to the DEA Diversion website.

Patrol, the former Mississippi county sheriff, and Circuit Judge David Dolan. The second complaint alleges that Hutchinson, while in uniform, handcuffed a seventy-seven-year-old woman with enough force that she suffered a heart attack. The woman was discharged from the hospital after receiving treatment for three days.

Show Me Zero Suicide Academy offers OMC an approach to suicide safe care How Working in Retirement Can Affect Your Social Security Benefits Dear Savvy Senior, I’m considering retiring later this year and starting my Social Security benefits, but would also like to work part time. Will this affect my benefits, and if so, how much? Ready to Retire Dear Ready, You can collect Social Security retirement benefits and work at the same time, but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, some or all of your benefits could be temporarily withheld. Here’s what you should know. Working Rules Social Security says that if you’re under your full retirement age – which is 66 if you were born between 1943 and 1954, or 66 and 2 months if you were born in 1955 – and are collecting benefits, then you can earn up to $16,920 in 2017 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $16,920 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $2 over that amount. In the year you reach your full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies. If that happens in 2017, you can earn up to $44,880 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $44,880 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $3 over that limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefits being reduced at all. Wages, bonuses, commissions, and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment earnings, interest, capital gains and government or military retirement benefits do not. To figure out how much your specific earnings will affect your benefits, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calculator at SSA. gov/OACT/COLA/RTeffect.html. It’s also important to know that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefits because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld. For details and examples of how this is calculated, see SSA.gov/planners/retire/whileworking2.html. For more information on how working can affect your Social Security benefits see SSA.gov/planners/retire/whileworking.html, or call the Social Security at 410-965-2039 and ask to receive a free copy of publication number 0510069, “How Work Affects Your Benefits.” Tax Factor In addition to the Social Security rules, you need to factor in Uncle Sam too. Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefits taxable. Here’s how it works. If the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefits is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits. Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefits. For information, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits,” or you can see it online at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf. In addition to the federal government, 13 states – Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefits to some extent too. If you live in one of these states, you’ll need to check with your state tax agency for details. 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.
Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) participated in the 2nd Show Me Zero Suicide Academy to transform behavioral health care systems to reduce suicides among people in their care. In this two-day training, sponsored by the Missouri Department of Mental Health and the Coalition of Community Behavioral Healthcare Centers, health and behavioral healthcare organizations learned how to incorporate best and promising practices to improve care and safety for those at risk for suicide. Organizations are challenged to make suicide a never event within their own systems of care. Academy attendees collaborated with the Show
Me Zero Suicide Academy faculty to develop action plans. Zero Suicide is a commitment to suicide prevention in health and behavioral healthcare and also a specific set of tools and strategies. It is both a concept and a practice. Its premise is that suicide deaths for people under care are preventable and that the bold goal of zero suicides among persons receiving care is an aspirational challenge that health and behavioral healthcare systems should accept. The Zero Suicide approach aims to improve care and outcomes for individuals at risk of suicide in health and behavioral healthcare systems.
The promotion of the adoption of “zero suicides” represents a commitment to patient safety – the most fundamental responsibility of health and behavioral healthcare – and also to the safety and support of staff that treats and support suicidal patients. Transforming care to make suicide a never event occurs through leadership, policies, practices, and outcome measurement. Zero Suicide concepts are embedded in the Joint Commissions 2016 sentinel event alert, trauma informed care initiatives and the Excellence in Mental Health Care demonstration project. The National Action
Alliance for Suicide Prevention (www.ActionAllianceforSuicidePrevention. org) is the public-private partnership working to advance the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and make suicide prevention a national priority. Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) operates the Secretariat for the Action Alliance, which was launched in 2010 by former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates with the goal of saving 20,000 lives in five years.

Texas County Memorial Hospital has named Sierra Scott of Edgar Springs the March employee of the month. Scott is a registered respiratory therapist in the cardiopulmonary department at TCMH, and she has worked in the department for a little over a year. Scott was nominated for the award by her supervisor, Lauren Toman, cardiopulmonary department director. “Sierra is new to the field, but she takes her job responsibly like a senior therapist,” Toman said, explaining that Scott has “jumped in” willing to learn all of the outpatient therapies offered at TCMH. “Sierra treats patients with respect, and she embodies the
values of TCMH,” Toman said. Toman described Scott as “reliable, hardworking and steady”. She explained that Scott readily helps out when staffing is low or the work load is high. As employee of the month, Scott received a certificate honoring her achievement; a pin; a special parking place in the TCMH lot; one day of paid vacation; a $50 gift card, and gift certificates to Paws N Claws, D&L Florist; Blissful Nirvana Massage, Wehr Motors, and Savor Grill.

Distracted Driving Month focuses on seat belts and cell phones by Chris Fennewald Traffic fatalities in Missouri increased last year and the primary cause is distracted driving. The National Safety Council says Missouri had 939 traffic fatalities in 2016, up 9 percent from 2015 and up 24 percent from 2014. “This is the worst year that we’ve had since 2007, and it’s the largest two year increase in fatalities in over 50 years,” says the National Safety Council’s Deborah Hersman. Alcohol, speeding and distractions are the leading causes of the fatalities. Thirty percent of all crashes involve alcohol impaired drivers and another 30 percent involve

excessive speed. Hersman says texting and driving also continues to be an issue. April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. To promote responsible driving, the Missouri Highway Patrol has produced a 15-minute video called “Don’t Violate The Trust.” Missouri Farm Bureau helped underwrite the video, which is aimed at teenagers. The video is available from troop headquarters to show to schools, civic organizations and churches. Missouri Farm Bureau employees have also pledged to “Buckle UP/Phone DOWN.” The Missouri Department of Transportation and the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety are challenging Missouri businesses and private
individuals to buckle up and put their phones down. First, drivers can put their phones down when they slide behind the wheel. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that cellphones were involved in 2,237 crashes in 2015 alone. Next, people can buckle up every time they get in a vehicle. Of the 938 people killed on Missouri’s roadways last year, 684 were drivers and passengers of vehicles, and a tragic 62 percent of them were unrestrained. Statistics show these two policy changes make a difference in safety. “You are 23 times more likely to be in a critical incident when the driver is texting and driving,” Highway Safety
Director Bill Whitfield said. “And only eight states scored lower than Missouri on voluntary safety belt use.” The Buckle UP/Phone DOWN Challenge is trying to change these numbers. Social media posts and a dedicated website feature citizens and employees of participating businesses giving the “thumbs up/thumbs down” sign to show their support of the effort. We hope you’ll join us in this effort, as this time of year farmers and ranchers use the highways to move large farm equipment to and from their fields. Keeping an eye out for these vehicles and reducing distraction behind the wheel keeps both farmers and drivers safer.

Dairy Cow Camp in Springfield May 24-26 Youth ages 8-18 interested in learning about the dairy industry will want to register for 4-H Dairy Cow Camp, scheduled for May 24-26. “This camp draws attention to the importance of farming and its important role in Missouri’s economy. It provides youth a hands-on opportunity to care for dairy animals and learn about many aspects of dairy production while learning lifeskills at the same time,” said Karla Deaver, 4-H youth development specialist. Campers work in pairs under the direction of adults and take part in workshops to learn about judging dairy
animals, dairy management, animal care ethics and showmanship. Persons working in the dairy industry visit with campers about careers in the dairy industry as well. Participants at the 2017 cow camp will also be certified in the Show-Me Quality Assurance program. The primary goal of the program is to increase the knowledge and awareness of Missouri youth about food quality issues related to animal production. A judging contest and showmanship competition provide the culmination for the camp. 4-H Dairy Cow Camp is
a cooperative program between University of Missouri Extension and a number of industry sponsors, including Robthom Dairy in Springfield. Other sponsors include Dairy Farmers of America, Southwest Dairy Farmers, Sancrest Specialized Transport, MFA, Missouri Brown Swiss Association; Missouri Dairy Association, Missouri Holstein Association, Missouri Guernsey Breeders Association, Missouri Jersey Breeders Association, and Missouri Junior Holstein Association.

MDC: O’Fallon angler catches state-record redear sunfish The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports James Lucas of O’Fallon became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he caught a redear sunfish on a private pond in Lincoln County. The new “alternative method” record fish caught by Lucas on March 24 weighed 1 pound, 1 ounce. Lucas’ recent catch broke the previous state record of 6-ounces, caught in 1996. “I was pretty excited when I pulled the redear sunfish out of the water because fishing that day wasn’t easy,” James Lucas said. Lucas added the weather outside wasn’t great for fishing when he caught the new state record. “I’m just thankful my friend drove the boat and braved the conditions with me while I caught another state-record fish,” Lucas said. Lucas is pretty familiar with state-record fish, as he now holds two of them in Missouri. “I caught this fish on purpose with my throwline because I want to break more state records,” Lucas said. Lucas caught the fish with a throwline. A throwline is a method for catching fish that involves lowering or throwing a fishing line into the water without the use of a rod and reel. The line can be anchored to an object on shore or held in hand.
“I choose to use a throwline because it is very challenging, and I enjoy a challenge!” said Lucas. MDC weighed the redear sunfish on a certified scale in O’Fallon. “This is the fourth state-record fish this year. 2017 is shaping up to be a year for state-record fish,” said MDC Fisheries Programs Specialist Andrew Branson. “The mild weather we have had this year means more anglers are fishing, and catching big fish.”
Lucas said he released the redear sunfish back into the private pond, and now plans to go after more state-record fish. Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl. For more information on state-record fish, visit the MDC website at http://on.mo. gov/2efq1vl.
