Be cautious: Phone scams! The Standard News has received several reports of a phone scam where the caller claims to be from the IRS. Aggressive and threatening phone calls by criminals impersonating IRS agents remain a major threat to taxpayers. The IRS has seen a surge of these phone scams as scam artists threaten police arrest, deportation, license revocation and other things. The IRS reminds taxpayers to guard against all sorts of con games that arise during any filing season. Protect Yourself Scammers make unsolicited calls claiming to be IRS officials. They demand that the victim pay a bogus tax bill. They con the victim into sending cash, usually through a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. They may also leave “urgent” callback requests through phone “robo-calls,” or via a phishing email. Many phone scams use threats to intimidate and bully a victim into paying. They may even threaten to arrest, deport or revoke the license of their victim if they don’t get the money. Scammers often alter caller ID numbers to make it look like the IRS or another agency is calling. The callers use IRS titles and fake badge numbers to appear legitimate. They may use the victim’s name, address and other personal information to make the call sound official. Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will not do. Any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam. The IRS will never: • Call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency See IRS on Page 7

‘Be Bear Aware’ to avoid encounters As blossoms and buds emerge each spring, so do Missouri’s estimated 350 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. “Black bears are an exciting part of our state’s natural history and people in Missouri generally have positive attitudes about our native black bears,” said Jeff Beringer, a resource scientist and black-bear re-
searcher with the Conservation Department. “This affinity for these large omnivores can lead people to want a closer look by feeding or approaching bears. That can lead to conflicts between bears and people, especially in the spring when bears emerge from hibernation and are particularly hungry, and in the fall when they are focused on fattening up for the winter.” Beringer added that feeding bears makes them comfortable around people, which can also make them dangerous. A fed bear is a dead bear “Keep bears wild! When See Bear on Page 7

Frustrating stretch for Liberty Baseball by Brian Ingalls
the hits were spread out and only Dakota Millard managed an RBI for the day. The next two games came After starting the season down to the little things. 4-1, the Liberty Eagles stum“(At) Thayer we had too bled into a slump over their many errors,” explained last three games, losing a Liberty Head Coach Allen heartbreaker to Salem 3-2 on Hedden. The Eagles had April 4, digging themselves five errors in the first two inan early hole and losing to nings as the Bobcats rattled off seven runs. “(We) played much better, the third inning on,” said Coach Hedden. In fact, Liberty didn’t give up another run as Koel Orchard pitched a complete game. Unfortunately for the Eagles, they weren’t able to make up much ground, managing only four hits, and scoring just one run in the fifth inning, plus another in the sixth inning for a 7-2 loss. Against East Carter, the defense played well the entire game, but Liberty conScoop! - The Liberty Eagles warm up in between innings during the April 4 game against tinued to struggle at the plate, the Salem Tigers.

Thayer 7-2 three days later, and struggling at the plate against East Carter to lose 2-0 last Friday. The losses dropped the Eagles record to 4-4 on the season as they look to bounce back into the win column this week. The slump began April 4th against Salem, when the Tigers scratched out a one-run
victory at the last moment. Liberty was one “out” away from retiring the side in the final inning with the game tied, but two consecutive base hits by Salem allowed the Tigers to take a one-run lead and hold on for the victory. The Eagles had put together six hits, including a homerun Cale Cornman, but
a 2-0 win, the third loss in a row for Liberty. For the game, the Eagles managed three hits, and struck out ten times. “We’ve got to start hitting,” said Coach Hedden summing up the past two weeks, “Our hitting is down right now. Score four runs in three games, it’s just not going to get it. Pitching has been there. Defense has been a little shaky.” Hedden isn’t about to worry just yet however. “We’re going to be alright,” he explained, “All teams, major league baseball, college, they go through slumps like this. We were hitting the ball before last week. We’ll pick it back up. Great bunch of kids. They work hard. Tuesday and Wednesday I expect to have good practices (and) get ready for Thursday. Thursday is a match-up against the Willow Springs
Bears, a game that favors the Eagles on paper, but one that Coach Hedden isn’t taking for granted. “They’re young but they’re scrappy,” Hedden said about the Bears, “They’ve won four ballgames. I think they’ve won as many games this year as they did all last year so we’ve got our hands full.” After that, the Eagles face the Ava Bears on Monday, with Cale Cornman getting the start on the mound for Liberty. The Eagles nearly had their fourth victory in a row on April 4th facing a tough Salem Tigers team. After the Tigers started the game with a solo homerun in the first inning, a base hit by Cornman, and an RBI single by Millard tied the game 1-1. Millard took the mound for Liberty and pitched all seven See Baseball on Page 10

Busted is potentially thousands of counterfeit $100 bills.” Chief Perkins went on to explain what should be done if you think you have a counterfeit bill. “Call your local law enforcement agency and turn the bill over. Unfortunately it’s a loss of $100 to you but if you knowingly keep the bill and use it there could be charges.” Chief Perkins advised anyone who receives a $100 bill to lay it on a flat, hard surface and turn it over. If the bill is counterfeit there will be a watermark of George Washington. “This watermark is definitely visible, it’s one of the easiest ways to tell if it’s counterfeit since is passes the marker test.” The MVPD were first alerted to the operation on March 24, 2016 when the local Dollar General store reported eight $100 bills had been received on March 22, 2016 and were determined to be counterfeit at Landmark Bank. The counterfeit money was used to purchase Visa gift cards and large amounts of bottled water. These purchase were done during two visits to the store roughly 10 minutes apart. The clerk told the MVPD that the bills passed the “marker test” and were also held up to the light to check for the watermark. On March 25, 2016 officers were dispatched to Walmart in Mtn. View for a report of four $100 counterfeit bills that were determined to be counterfeit. Security footage shows a male subject entering the store on March 23, 2016 and purchasing items with the $100 bills. The manager advised that the same male had been in the store on March 22, 2016 and attempted to purchase two rifles with identification from New Zealand which was denied. He then

From Page One purchased a box of .223 ammunition with a Visa money card and left the store. Reviewing the security footage from both Dollar General and Walmart officers determined the male subject was in fact the same individual. MVPD were able to determine that the counterfeit $100 bills were being made from washed $1 bills. A public warning was issued pointing out the flaws in the bills and how to detect a false bill. Another notice was sent out for a black Dodge pickup that the male was seen exiting in security footage. After these announcements were made, a female business owner from Willow Springs who wished to remain anonymous told the MVPD that the same man they were looking for had come into the business and exchanged three $100 bills for three hundred $1 bills. Several agencies including West Plains, Willow Springs, Thayer, Cabool, Winona and surrounding cities had received reports of counterfeit $100 bills being passed. On April 5, 2016 Walmart called the MVPD to report that the same male subject was back in the store and was paying for items. Employees detained Thurber until the arrival of law enforcement. Corporal Schwein approached the subject and asked for identification. The male provided a New Zealand ID identifying him as David Turnbull. The ID was later determined to be counterfeit. When asked for his real name the male subject told officers his name was Stuart E. Thurber and then gave consent for officers to search his vehicle and camper. “Willow Springs Police had called us earlier in the
day and told us they had pulled over the male subject and informed him that the Mtn. View Police Department wanted to speak with him. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Although he was packing up to leave it enabled us to capture him in his truck and camper which had all of the counterfeiting equipment,” explained Chief Perkins. Thurber’s camper and Dodge pickup were search and items including counterfeiting paraphernalia, laptops with scanned $100 bills, a hard drive with additional $100 bills, two printers with green ink residue on the trays, a large amount of ink cartridges, a scrubbing tray used to scrub the $1 bills, scrubbing tools with the tray, solvents used in the cleaning of the $1 bills and stamping instruments for imprinting the metallic $100 seals on the cleaned bills. All of the machines were in functioning order and running at the time of seizure. In the camper over 2,000 rounds of miscellaneous ammunition was located ranging from .22 caliber to .223 caliber. In an interview with Thurber he stated that he had the three hundred $1 bills were mailed back to New Zealand where he had spent five years of his life before coming back in 2012 because of a federal warrant for his arrest. He told officers that he had been in his camper with two people, the names of which he would not disclose) and they had traveled from California to Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and finally to Missouri where he was going to buy land. He stated that he was going to purchase the land through real
money which was being mailed to him by a friend. Thurber stated he had large amounts of money and assets in New Zealand and would be mailed money from different post office boxes depending on where he was at. He stated at the age of 33 he was addicted to methamphetamines and began counterfeiting money at that time. Thurber stated he had tried numerous times to get a gun knowing he was a felon with a lengthy record. He stated it was hard to get a firearm but he needed one to protect himself. Thurber stated he was trying to purchase land here and that he needed to prepare for end times and had been buying large amounts of water with food and other items enough for about ten people. He stated to MVPD that he almost always pays for his items and food with $100 bills. Criminal history on Thurber shows that he has used at least 14 different names during prior law enforcement contact with at least five different states and at least three different social security numbers. He was charged in 2003 for counterfeiting U.S. currency, manufacturing counterfeit U.S. currency and passing counterfeit currency. He is also a convicted felon from the California case. For Mtn. View, Thurber has been charged with multiple counts of forgery and possession of a forging instrument. He is currently being held in the Howell County Jail without bond. He could also face additional charges from each town that he circulated the counterfeit $100 bills in as well as federal charges from the ATF and Secret Service. A property in Texas County was searched recently and ties Thurber and another subject to several thefts. Additional arrests could stem from this search.
Letter to the Editor:

An extra special THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Marlie and her husband David, who stayed and helped us the whole time and the gentleman, who stood and held my mother’s hand until the ambulance got there, I am so sorry I don’t know your name sir.

Working On Next Year’s Budget
This week at the Capitol the Senate moved forward with legislation that will set the state budget for fiscal year 2017. Every year, this is one of the General Assembly’s largest and most important responsibilities as the budget plan defines how financial resources will be distributed among the state-funded programs, departments and services such as transportation, social services, education and agriculture. I would like to use this column to highlight some of the key points that resulted from the Senate’s discussions. The $27.1 billion budget was passed in the form of House bills, which still require an additional round of debate and votes from both chambers before they are finalized and moved to the governor’s desk. Here are some of the biggest changes proposed for next year’s state budget. Education House Bills 2002 and 2003 handle 2017’s budget for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Higher Education (DHE). The new DESE plan calls for a 2.1 percent increase in total funding, with increases to state services like the K-12 Foundation Formula, school food services and rural school district transportation. Specifically, $70 million more would be allocated toward K-12 school throughout the state, which would receive around $11 billion total. In a huge positive step forward, rural school district transportation services would receive an additional $5 million in 2017, enhancing easy access to school districts in the areas of our state that need it most. Under the proposed changes, colleges and universities in Missouri will receive a total of $1.3 billion in state funding, with schools who do not raise tuition receiving performance funding of up to 6 percent. Community colleges, scholarship programs and educational training funding would all receive increased support next year as well, which would improve our state’s education standards and provide a greater opportunity for success to our students and teachers. Agriculture The 2017 budget proposal would also positively affect our state’s number one industry, agriculture, by increasing total funding by a massive 25.1 percent. In addition to a 2 percent pay plan increase for agricultural workers, the 2017 budget calls for increased biodiesel subsidy payment funding, establishing biodiesel infrastructure grants, supporting the Missouri dairy industry and adding to state funding for the Missouri Beef Initiative. The Legislature has a responsibility to aid and sustain the future of Missouri farmers and ranch workers, and I’m proud to say that the 2017 budget proposal would do just that. $2.5 million for the Dairy Revitalization Act has been recommended for next year, which is an act I helped pass last year. This would have an especially positive impact on the 33rd District, where many residents make their living raising dairy livestock. Corrections The FY 2017 budget would also impact the state’s correctional facilities in a positive manner by increasing county jail reimbursements to $2 per day and increasing state prison employee pay by 2 percent plus an additional hazardous duty pay raise. Mental Health and Social Services Thousands of Missourians lack adequate access to the state’s health care resources, and the 2017 budget attempts to fix that problem. The proposed budget plan would take $10 million from Planned Parenthood and distribute it to federally qualified health clinics, rural health clinics, local public health clinics and private providers. This redistribution would make it easier for residents of rural areas to receive the quality health care they require, and would allow Missouri’s women to have access to 588 health care locations, rather than 13 Planned Parenthood sites. The Department of Mental Health would receive around $2 billion under the new budget, and Medicaid would receive around $11 billion, which is more than our state’s K-12 funding. Finally, I’m very pleased to note that Missouri libraries will be receiving an increase of $2 million to help maintain the wonderful resource they provide for our state’s citizens and the inspiration they foster in Missouri’s youth. Again, there is still a long process left before the budget becomes finalized. The House and the Senate will iron out percentages and dollar amounts over the coming weeks until the plan is as efficient and equitable as possible for all of our citizens. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

CASA with the most need for foster care of abused or neglected children. West Plains-based 37th Judicial CASA recently hired a child therapist to support CASA Volunteers, each working with one foster case at a time, over several months or years while the case works toward closure. “It’s a simple, public cost-cutting solution which helps children exit state care much earlier than foster children who have no CASA Volunteer,” said CASA director Joy Ellsworth. After much anticipation, on April 1st CASA won a federal Victims Of Crime Act grant due to the need for CASA Volunteers in Carter, Howell, Oregon and Shannon counties. Not only has the federal government taken notice of the potential for volunteer citizens to make a difference, everyday people are thinking of many other ways they can help young survivors of abuse or neglect to rise above the cycle. This Spring, CASA supporters are celebrating at least three ways to get involved with their cause. On Monday, April 18 at 12:50 p.m., Howell County Juvenile Court Judge Don Henry will swear in 8 more CASA Volunteers as officers of the court. This class raises the total number of recruited advocates to 16 of the 65 ad-

Bridge
From Page One
- All access ramps from Route 54/63 to and from West Main Street; - The eastbound on-ramp from McCarty St. to Route 54/63; and -The westbound on-ramp from Route W to Route 54/63. Maps showing the closures can be found on MoDOT’s website at www.modot.org/central. MoDOT is expecting traffic to back up during morning and evening commutes, so the department is asking motorists to alter their travel schedules to avoid peak travel times, if possible. That could mean altering work hours or working from another location. Carpooling would also help ease traffic congestion. MoDOT has been working with local law enforcement on an incident management plan to ensure smooth traffic flow on both state routes and city streets during the closure. The westbound bridge, built in 1955, carries about 28,000 vehicles a day. More information, including the option to sign up for e-mail updates, is available at www.modot.org/central or by calling 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636).
Bear
From Page One
bears lose their fear of people, they may defend the food sources or territory they associate with people, which can make them dangerous,” he said. “When this happens, the bear has to be destroyed. A fed bear is a dead bear.” He added that a fed bear that becomes a problem in one place cannot be relocated to another. 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 black-bear 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 black bears survived. Over time, their numbers increased and continue to do so. Results of ongoing black-bear research by Conservation Department 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. MDC asks people to report bear sightings by calling 573-5224115, ext. 3080.

A newsletter from Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District Superintendent It’s hard to believe that we are in the last quarter of the school year. It’s been a great school year and we have accomplished a lot. We will finish the year strong with annual testing and year-ending activities. We started the year by setting some major goals to work towards district-wide: Technology First, we wanted to improve the availability and use of instructional technology throughout the district. Today’s society is technology-driven. Our students take mandatory tests each year on computers starting in the 3rd grade. Students are engaged more by technology than by any other source. We need to tap into this asset and use it to our advantage here at school. We started the year by allowing high school students to bring their own devices and connect them to the school’s network to be used for educational purposes. We continued by targeting our teacher-training towards innovative ways to use technology in every classroom. We contracted with an education-technology company to provide us with the technological infrastructure necessary to allow us to efficiently and safely use technology as more and more teachers use it in their classrooms. We’ve purchased many new computers and added computer labs at Mountain View Elementary and Liberty Middle School.
Curriculum Second, we wanted to look at our test scores and target our efforts towards improving our curriculum, especially in the areas where we needed the most improvement. We are currently in the process of revising our math curriculum in grades K-12. The state is in the final stages of reviewing and approving new “Missouri Standards”. We want to ensure that whatever curriculum we write is totally in-line with the new standards. Our teachers are currently documenting the changes in their subject areas from the old state curriculum standards to the newly proposed “Missouri Standards”. As they have done this, they have chosen 20 main things in every grade level and subject area that students need to know and be able to do. These “Top 20” lists will guide our curriculum revision process as we ensure that our curriculum adequately addresses every Top 20 area in every grade level and subject area. Mandatory Testing Our third goal was to improve our performance on the mandatory tests given each year. This goal is directly tied to our first two goals. We believe that students will learn more as we hold their attention and engage them more through the use of instructional technology. As our students become more adept at using technology, they will perform better on
these tests that are given using computers. As we improve our curriculum and tie it directly to the Missouri Standards, we will make sure that we are teaching the material the students will be expected to know as they take the state tests. By adding computers and computer labs, we will be able to test our students at the same time by grade level at optimal times (mornings) when students are rested and alert. Finances Our final goal is to ensure that we are good stewards of the financial resources that we receive from our district patrons and tax payers. We are committed to having balanced school budgets while taking care of our employees. Our employees’ salaries have been frozen for the last three years. We have streamlined our budget, made several cuts, and are well on our way towards being able to unfreeze our employees’ salaries while maintaining a balanced budget. Our school finances are related directly to the number of students that we educate in our district and their actual attendance at school. Our district-wide student enrollment has decreased for several years. This is the first school year where we’ve not seen a decline in student enrollment—we basically have the same number of students this year that we had last school year.
Summer School We will be having summer school this year starting on June 1. I would encourage every student at every grade level to participate in the fun and engaging activities that our teachers will be providing for all of our students this summer. We hope to engage them with fun activities and technology. Please contact your child’s school to enroll your student in our summer school classes. Important Dates It is very important that our students are encouraged to try their very hardest on the state end-of-the-year tests. We would appreciate parents help with this encouragement and ensuring that your child attends well rested on these testing days especially. Testing Dates for Mountain View Elementary: 3rd Grade: April 19-20 (Lang. Arts), May 5 (Math) 4th Grade: April 21 & 26 (Lang. Arts), May 10 (Math) 5th Grade: April 27-28 (Lang. Arts), May 3-4 (Sci.), May 11 (Math) Testing Dates for Birch Tree Elementary 3rd Grade: April 27-28 (Math), May 3-5 (Lang. Arts) 4th Grade: April 26-27 & May 4 (Lang.

Kander awards grant to MV Public Library for summer reading programs Secretary of State Jason Kander today announced that Mountain View Public Library received a grant in the amount of $2,993 to promote summer reading programs. The funds will be used to conduct a program focusing on patrons ages two through 16 and will provide weekly library activities and multisensory activities for children. “The summer months are great for relaxing and enjoying the warm weather, but it’s also a good time for kids to learn to read for their enjoyment,” Kander said. “I’m proud my office is able to once again provide programs that encourage Missouri students to continue to read and explore their creativity
during the summer break.” The secretary of state’s literacy and educational enrichment grants are funded by the Library Services and Technology Act through the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, which is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute’s mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas. In the 2016 fiscal year, the Missouri State Library, a division of Kander’s office, has approved a total of 120 grant applications, distributing $908,221 in federal awards to libraries throughout Missouri.
STAR Orientation dates set First-time freshmen or transfer students with less than 10 credit hours have several dates from which to choose to attend Missouri State University-West Plains’ STudent Advising and Registration (STAR) Orientation sessions for the 2016 fall semester. Spaces are available for sessions on May 6, May 20, May 26, June 2, June 10, June 17, July 22, July 28, Aug. 5, Aug. 12 and Aug. 16, according to Cindy Bridges, coordinator of student academic advisement at the Advisement and Academic Coaching Center for Empowering Student Success (AACCESS), which hosts the events. In addition, a STAR Orientation session will be offered at the university’s Mountain Grove campus at Shannon Hall, 401 E. 17th St., on July 26, she added. Space is limited for each STAR session, so students are encouraged to register early for their preferred session, Bridges stressed. STAR Orientations are designed to provide students with an introduction to the
university and its services, policies and procedures, and to assist students in registering for their first semester. During STAR, students will meet with a faculty adviser, schedule fall classes, receive a photo ID, be assigned a BearPass login, receive a parking permit, have an opportunity to visit with a financial aid representative, purchase textbooks at Drago College Store and, if desired, take a tour of the campus. “In short, they will be totally prepared for the first day of classes on Aug. 22,” Bridges said. Before attending an orientation, students must be admitted to the university and complete required ACT or Compass placement testing. Additional testing may be required for placement purposes depending upon ACT scores. For information about the admissions process, call the Missouri State-West Plains admissions office at 417255-7955.

Test confirms MO traveler infected with Zika virus Auto Insurance Discounts for Older Drivers Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve read that many car insurance companies offer a variety of discounts to older drivers when they retire or reach a certain age. What can you tell me about this? Discount Seeker Dear Seeker, Most auto insurance companies offer policyholders a wide variety of discounts, many of which can benefit retirees. Auto insurers love older drivers because they’re experienced behind the wheel and they drive less than younger age groups, which makes them a lower risk for accidents and a safer bet for insurance companies. While discounts will vary by insurer, many of these benefits can reduce your overall premium by 15 to 20 percent or more, and you are usually allowed to combine discounts to increase your savings, though total discounts are often capped at around 25 percent. To find out what discounts may be available to you, contact your auto insurer and inquire about these benefits, and any others that may benefit you. Age discount: Many auto insurance companies offer a general “senior” discount that will reduce your premium just because you’ve reached a specific age. The actual name and amount of the discount will vary by insurer. Allstate, for example, provides a “senior adult discount” of up to 10 percent to drivers who are at least 55 years old and aren’t actively looking for full-time work. And Liberty Mutual offers a “newly retired discount” to drivers who reach that employment milestone, regardless of age. Low mileage discount: Most insurers offer discounts to customers who drive limited miles each year, which is often beneficial to retirees who drive less because they don’t commute to work every day. The fewer miles you drive, the lower your odds of getting into an accident. The parameters of low mileage differ by insurer, but generally about a 10 percent discount is available for driving less than 5,000 to 8,000 miles each year, although smaller discounts may also be available to seniors who drive more than this but less than 15,000. Drivers Ed discount: Many states require insurance companies to offer “defensive-driving” discounts to drivers who take a refresher course to brush up on their safety skills. The discounts vary usually ranging between 5 and 15 percent. Driver safety courses are inexpensive, usually costing around $20 to $30 and can often be taken in a classroom or online. To locate a class contact your local AAA (aaa.com), which operates a Driver Improvement Course for seniors, or AARP (aarp. org/driversafety, 888-227-7669), which offers the Smart Driver Course to members and non-members. Club member discount: Insurers offer discounts to members of clubs and associations with which they have partnered. These could include professional associations, workers’ unions, large employers or membership organizations such as AAA, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, the Seniors Coalition, AARP, etc. You could even qualify for savings based on the college you attended or the fraternity or sorority you belonged to decades ago. Safe driving discount: Many insurance providers now offer discounts based on how and when you use your car. To do this, they would place a diagnostic device in your car that transmits wireless data on how you drive (including how fast you’re going and how hard you’re braking), when you drive and how much you drive. Drivers are rewarded for safe driving, low mileage and for not driving late at night. In addition, many insurance providers also offer discounts to drivers who do not have any violations or accidents for three or more years. 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.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services confirmed a case of Zika virus in a Missouri man who had travelled to Colombia, a known area of Zika transmission. This is the third confirmed case of Zika virus infection reported in a Missouri resident. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services announced recently that the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory has been designated as a Zika virus testing laboratory by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly 80 percent of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms. Typically, symptoms are mild and include fever, rash, joint soreness and/ or redness of eyes. International health officials are examining the connection between pregnant women contracting the virus and a birth defect called microcephaly in their newborn infants. According to the CDC, babies with microcephaly often have smaller head sizes and brains that might not have developed properly. According to the CDC, Zika virus has the potential to
be spread through a mosquito bite, through unprotected sexual contact, through blood transfusion and an infected pregnant woman can pass Zika virus to her fetus during pregnancy. There is not currently a vaccine for Zika virus. The best prevention measure is to avoid mosquito bites in areas with ongoing transmission. There have been no reported cases of Zika virus contracted from a mosquito bite in Missouri. Ways to avoid mosquito bites while outdoors include wearing EPA-registered insect repellent with DEET, wearing pants and long sleeves, or remaining indoors in an air conditioned environment. The CDC is recommending pregnant women avoid traveling to Zika-affected areas which include countries ranging from Mexico into the Caribbean, Central American and South America. Since the beginning of the year, DHSS has regularly updated health care providers and the public about Zika virus in addition to coordinating the approval of Missourians for testing by the CDC.

MDC: Welcome back hummingbirds! during this trans-Gulf, 24hour flight.” Early spring migrant hummingbirds in Missouri rely on sap oozing from sapsucker-drilled holes and insects for food. With warmer weather they soon will switch to eating nectar from many different kinds of flowers later in spring, which gives them energy needed to catch insects all day long to feed their young. Hummingbirds are more than just a delight to watch flying around, they also play a very important part in our ecosystem. “Hummingbirds are important pollinators for many species of plants that require just such a long-billed pollinator,” Jacobs said. “Because of their small size, hummingbirds also risk ending up as food for many predators such as, large insects, spiders, birds, and frogs.” Hummingbirds are summer residents throughout the state either around nectar feeders outside homes and in parks and gardens. Hummingbirds nest in wooded areas, and are frequently observed near forests, and streams. Learn more about the ruby-throated hummingbird from MDC’s Field Guide at http://on.mo.gov /1q0h7To. To see video of the hummingbirds visit MDC’s Discover nature and learn more about the ruby-throated website at http://on.mo.gov hummingbird. (Photo courtesy of MDC) /1UGKR4U. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages people to discover nature this spring by learning about the ruby-throated hummingbird. Missourians will be seeing this delightful bird this time of year a lot more now due to migration. In an average year, ruby-throated hummingbirds arrive in Missouri around early to midApril. “Hummingbird migration all depends on the weather,” MDC Wildlife Ecologist Brad Jacobs said. “This year’s migration should be about average for hummingbirds and they should be increasing in numbers over the month of April.” Jacobs noted a great website map from hummingbirds.net to visit to see when and where hummingbirds are migrating: http://bit. ly/1cCTWae. The hummingbird migration map
shows locations of where ruby-throated hummingbirds have been spotted already this year in North America. The website allows visitors to help out with this by entering the dates and exact locations where people have spotted hummingbirds. Just like most birds, hummingbirds typically migrate south in early fall and migrate back north in the spring. “Our hummingbirds begin their southward migration in mid-August and most are gone by early October,” Jacobs said. “A few overwinter in extreme southern coastal states, with most wintering from southern Mexico to Costa Rica. Migration means some of them fly nonstop for 600 miles from the Gulf coast of the U.S. to the Yucatan Peninsula over the Gulf of Mexico. The often lose half their body weight

innings, notching nine strikeouts. He held the Tigers scoreless until the fourth inning when a basehit, followed by two fielding errors allowed another run to score. Liberty tied the game 2-2 after Cornman led off the sixth inning with a solo homerun, but no one else would reach base for the Eagles the rest of the way. Meanwhile, in the seventh inning with two outs, the Tigers put together a couple of base hits to take a 3-2 lead. Then, after retiring the side in order when the Eagles came to bat, the Tigers had their victory and the Eagles dropped to 4-2 on the season.

From Page One ing on those five fielding errors by the Eagles. Orchard was solid from the mound for Liberty, striking out two and giving up just three earned runs. Orchard and the Eagles defense shut down Thayer the rest of the game. If not for a lack of hitting, the Eagles had time to close the gap, but with only four hits, Liberty managed just one run in the fifth, and one in the sixth, before falling to Thayer 7-2. Fielding and pitching were both good enough for a victory on April 8 against East Carter, but the hitting continued to struggle. Liberty didn’t get their first base hit until the fourth-inning when Cornman managed a single. Riky Williams got a base hit in the fifth inning, and another one in the
