SBTDC will host Aftermath of flooding: SBA training on Millions of dollars in damage session disaster loans The rain has stopped but the work has just begun. Floodwaters devastated and even destroyed homes, businesses, public recreation areas and roadways throughout Missouri. The cost of the damage is still being gathered but early estimates are as high as four to five million per county. Attorney General Josh Hawley announced he is forming a Natural Disaster Rapid Response Team in the Attorney General’s Office to help victims of the flooding that has devastated the state. “We are mobilizing all available resources to help Missourians protect themselves and their families after this terrible flooding,” Hawley said. “Our attorneys and consumer advocates are here to help you get back on your feet. And we are here to go after scam artists and fraudsters who would prey upon the vulnerable.” The new Rapid Response Team will: Respond to consumer complaints and take immediate action against scam artists and fraudsters; Work

Hawley commented, “To those harmed by this disaster, we want to do all we can to help you. Please contact us. We are here to work on your behalf.” A staggering 17.93 inches of rain fell across Missouri in April, 15 of that fell within a 36 hour period.

members were without power due to the storms and flooding. Work on restoring power has been slow but steady for HOEC. As of Thursday, May 4 the electric company reported only 130 members were without power. Myles Smith, Manager of Member Services at HOEC said, “While progress is being made, we are hopeful that the rain that continues to fall doesn’t cause any further damage than what we have now.” The Missouri Department of Transportation reported that 272 roads were closed in Missouri. Howell County Emergency Management is partnering with other local disaster assistance organizations to open a “one-stop shop” for survivors of the Flood. Beginning Tuesday May 9, the Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) will be open from 11 Am to 7 PM at the West Plains Civic Center located at 1140 St. Louis Street in West Plains. Trained English and Spanish-speaking caseworkers will be available at the MARC to help people create personal recovery plans, navigate paperwork, and locate assistance for their specific disaster-caused needs, such as; assistance for groceries, rent, and medicine and other items or services. Representatives from government, nonprofit, and religiously-affiliated disaster relief organizations will also be on hand at the MARC to assist disaster survivors.
There will also be agencies that can help with those who need long-term recovery assistance such as [REBUILDING AND REPAIR OF HOMES, MOLD REMEDIATION] Individuals and families can meet with agencies for referrals or other long term recovery services if your family is not eligible for government assistance or if that assistance is inadequate to meet your needs. Individuals and families applying for assistance are required to bring identification showing address and proof of residence to be eligible for assistance from some agencies. Shannon County sustained some of the heaviest damage with the Ozarks National Scenic Riverways closing many campgrounds and river access points on the Jacks Fork and Current River. “The Office of Emergency Management says no lives were lost, thanks to warnings from the National Weather Service. Still, people were unprepared for the destruction, and emergency responders had to make many water rescues. Several primary homes, many weekend homes, and numerous businesses are destroyed or seriously damaged,” reported Shannon County Sheriff Darrin Brawley.

Liberty Eagles: Post-flood baseball by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It may have felt like playing baseball after disembarking from Noah’s Ark, but the Liberty Eagles split a double-header with the 14-5 Eminence Redwings over the weekend, winning the first game 10-6 on Friday, and losing the second 4-1 on Saturday. The Eagles wrapped up Saturday with a heartbreaker, however, falling one run short in a comeback attempt against Doniphon for a 7-6 loss. With the regular-season over, the Eagles are preparing for a first-round District game against the Ava Bears. That game is scheduled for Friday, May 12, at 2:00 PM at Ava. The Bears come into the game with 14 wins, and the advantage of playing the District tournament on their home field. The 12-4 Mountain Grove Panthers are the top seed and have a bye to start the tour-
nament. The Panthers will play the winner of Willow Springs and Cabool, while the winner between Liberty and Ava will take on the winner of Licking and Houston. A victory by Liberty over Ava would mean the Eagles play Monday at 6:00 PM, with the District championship scheduled for Tuesday at 4:30 PM. The upcoming District tournament was one reason the Eagles jumped at the chance to add some games to the end of the regular-season schedule. As it turned out, Liberty wasn’t the only team looking for someone to play. “The games fell into place fairly quickly,” explained Liberty Head Coach Allen Hedden, “With all the rain last week, coaches are scrambling to find games before Districts start. We need to keep playing games for experience. We’re playing our best baseball right now and need to keep the momentum going.”
Liberty’s improvement was obvious on Friday as the Eagles erupted for 13 hits, took advantage of three Redwings errors, and jumped out to a 10-1 lead against Eminence. The Redwings put together five runs in the final two innings, but simply had too much ground to make up. The 10-6 Liberty victory was impressive coming against an Eminence team that had knocked off the Plato Eagles, dominated Dora, and beat the Houston Tigers 11-1 at Houston. The best news for Liberty, however, was the fact that Devin Hedden continued to establish himself on the pitching mound. “Devin has emerged as our ace,” said Coach Hedden, “(He) gives us a chance to win every time he steps on the mound.” For the game, Hedden went all seven innings, gave up just four earned runs, and finished with zero walks and three strikeouts. While Devin was getting it done on the mound, the rest of
the team was busy at the plate. Liberty’s 13 hits added up to the best showing of the year so far. Combine the hitting with 17 put outs fielding, and it was arguably the best overall game performance of the year for Liberty. “Our bats are warming up at the right time,” Coach Hedden admitted. The reason is no accident he noted. “Several of these guys are putting extra work in the cage after practice and it’s showing in games.” Koel Orchard had the biggest day for the Eagles at the plate, batting 3 for 3, including a homerun and four RBI’s. Orchard scored three of the four times he came to bat, tying with sophomore Coltin Foster who also scored three times. Riky Williams was one of the team leaders as well, scoring once while finishing 2 for 2 at the plate with a couple of RBI’s. Brenton Bush, Ethan Smith, and Coltin Welden also scored for Liberty. The Eagles, who have had a season full of fast starts, jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first three innings against Eminence. Liberty scored once in the first to tie the game 1-1, then took off. The Eagles added four runs in the second, and two more in the third. They didn’t get much help from the Redwings pitchers who only walked three batters, but once the Eagles were on base they were tough to stop. Orchard, Williams, Foster twice, Weldon, and Bush all stole bases for Liberty as the Eagles grabbed a 10-6 victory. The second game against Eminence the following day was a defensive battle. Orchard was on the mound for the Eagles and had a good day, striking out seven batters and giving up just four hits. Liberty was struggling to find base hits as well, finishing the game with only four, although one of those was another home run by Orchard. After jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning thanks to Orchard’s big hit, however, the Eagles wouldn’t score again. The Redwings scored three runs in the third inning and once more in the sixth to take a 4-1 victory. After splitting with the Redwings, the Eagles had one more game on tap for the weekend, a five-inning game against Doniphan. Sophomore Andrew Holden and freshman Coltin Weldon pitched for Liberty. Both young pitchers showed flashes of potential as Holden struck out nine batters, and Weldon was solid in relief. It looked almost dead-even on the scoreboard as Liberty and Doniphan each finished with seven hits and one error, but the Dons got one more run for a 7-6 victory. It was a back and forth game for most of the day, however. Seven different players finished with base hits for Liberty, and the Eagles finished the day with four stolen bases, two from Williams. After one in-
ning, Liberty and Doniphan fought to a 1-1 tie. Doniphan scored two runs in the top of the second for a 3-1 lead, but the Eagles answered with three runs of their own for a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the second. The third inning is where the game got away from Liberty. Four runs in the top of the third gave Doniphan a 7-4 advantage, and in a five-inning game, Liberty was running out of time. The Eagles answered with one run in the bottom of the third to make it 7-5, but neither team could score in the fourth inning. With one last chance in the bottom of the fifth, the Eagles cut the lead to 7-6, but couldn’t get anything more. It wasn’t everything Liberty wanted, but as Districts arrive this week, the Eagles are showing they can play with anyone.

used as a facility for feeding and supplying both flood victims and volunteers. The Eminence High School is being used to house volunteers and as a “rally point” where volunteers can check in and be given assignments each morning. The Eminence Baptist Church has collected and stored many of the donated supplies, along with supplies dropped off by both the Convoy of Hope and the American Red Cross. The food pantry and the senior center have also provided food to those affected. Supplies are being distributed at the Assembly of God Church in Eminence. Supplies are free, but people are required to stop at the County Clerk’s office first to get a voucher. Sadly, this is required to avoid
possible abuse. Most of the work of cleaning, feeding, distributing aid, rebuilding and organizing relief is being done by volunteers and city and county workers. The community is very grateful to everyone who has helped and who is planning to help in the near future. If you or your group would like to volunteer to help, please contact Mindy Ipock at 417-293-7479 A relief fund has been set up.

Conservation Commission inducts Leo Drey into Hall of Fame Nifty Gadgets That Can Help Seniors With Hearing Loss Dear Savvy Senior, What types of products can you recommend to help people with hearing problems? My 65-year-old husband has some hearing issues, but doesn’t think he needs a hearing aid, so I’m looking for some alternative devices that can help. Loud Talker Dear Loud, If your husband feels he’s not ready for a hearing aid but needs some hearing help, there are dozens of “assistive listening devices” on the market today that can make a big difference. Assistive listening devices are over-the-counter electronic products (they are not FDA approved hearing aid devices) that can amplify and improve sound to help your husband in different listening situations. It’s also important to know that these products are best suited for people with mild to moderate hearing impairment, and they usually aren’t covered by insurance or Medicare. Here’s a breakdown of some of the different devices that can help. Personal amplifiers: For better hearing, especially in noisy environments, there are personal sound amplification products that can be worn in the ear like a hearing aid, and are designed to amplify sound while reducing background noise. Two top rated products to consider that were recently recommended by Consumer Reports are the SoundWorld Solutions CS50+ and the Etymotic Bean. The CS50+, which costs $350, looks like a Bluetooth cell phone headset, and has customizable settings that can be programed with a smartphone. The Etymotic Bean, which costs $399 a pair or $214 for one, is ready to use right out of the box and is best suited for those with high-frequency hearing loss. If these are too pricy, there are also a number of small hand-held or body-worn amplifiers – like the Williams Sound Pocketalker ($139) and Bellman & Symfon Mino Personal Amplifier ($188) – that have a microphone and headphones or earbuds that are very effective too. TV amplifiers: To hear the television better, there are TV listening devices that will let your husband increase the volume and adjust the tone to meet his needs, without blasting you out of the room. Some of the best options include wireless infrared, radio frequency or Bluetooth devices that come with standard or stethoscope headphones. Sennheiser makes a variety of quality products with prices running between $130 and $450. Or, for a more affordable solution, consider the Serene Innovations TV Sound Box for $120. This is a wireless amplified TV speaker that would sit near your husband, and provide clear stereo sound from the TV without the need for headsets. Amplified telephones: To have clearer phone conversations, there are a wide variety of amplified telephones that offer enhanced volume and tone adjustments, and they usually come with extra loud ringers and flashing ring indicators to alert him when a call is coming in. Some top makers of these products are Clarity, ClearSounds and Serene Innovations, and a top seller today is the Clarity XLC2+ Amplified Phone ($144), which is a cordless phone that provides three tone settings and 50 decibels of amplification. Alerting devices: There are also a variety of alerting devices that can help people who have trouble hearing the doorbell, phone, alarm clock, smoke detector or even weather radio. These products use flashing lights, multi-tone ringers or vibrating devices as a means to alert you. Some popular products in this category include: The Bellman & Symfon Care Home Alerting Solution that provides door and phone notification with a flashing alert ($198); the Silent Call Weather Alert Radio with strobe and bed shaker ($165); and the all-in-one Serene Innovations CentralAlert CA-360 Clock/Receiver Notification System, which provides alarm clock, doorbell, phone, motion and storm warning alerts ($180). To locate these and any other hearing loss products visit Harris Communications (HarrisComm.com, or call 866-476-9579), which offers more than 2,000 assistive devices and provides customer support services to assist you. 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 Conservation Commission recently named Leo A. Drey as the 43rd member of its Hall of Fame for his lifelong advocacy for conservation. Drey’s induction ceremony was held at the L-A-D Foundation’s annual barbeque in Salem on April 27. Conservation Commissioner David Murphy was on hand to bestow the honor to Drey’s family. Drey passed away in May 2015 at age 98. His conservation efforts focused on acquiring parcels of land to establish the 150,000-acre Pioneer Forest, which covers parts of Dent, Carter, Reynolds, Ripley, Shannon, and Texas counties. He then donated the land to the L-A-D Foundation, which he established as an organization dedicated to preserving areas of outstanding natural or cultural resource value. Drey was dedicated to preserving areas of outstanding natural or cultural resource value. Over the years, he purchased and donated more than a dozen such areas to the Foundation. These sites include state-designated natural areas
DNR issues waiver to aid debris cleanup following flooding The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has waived specific solid waste and air pollution regulations following significant flooding. The waiver gives residents and communities in affected counties throughout the state additional flexibility in cleaning up damages associated with heavy rain, flooding and flash flooding that began April 28. The waiver shall be in effect until June 4, 2017 unless extended. Further information, including the full text of the waiver, is available on dnr.mo.gov/ disaster.htm.

leased to MDC, areas leased to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources for state parks, 35 miles of frontage on the Ozark National Scenic Riverways under scenic easement to the National Park Service, lands transferred to Mark Twain National Forest, and other special designations within Pioneer Forest. “Leo A. Drey oversaw Pioneer Forest and the L-A-D Foundation during more than half a century of tumultuous change in forest and environmental policy in the United States,” said MDC Director
Sara Pauley. “With clear vision and steadfast resolve, he utilized uneven-aged forest management on his landholdings. By the 1990s, foresters and researchers recognized Pioneer Forest as a model worthy of study and many conservation agencies began to transition to ecosystem management that emphasized maintaining the continuity of the forest and the scenic, wildlife, and recreational values appreciated by the public.” Learn more about Drey’s life and legacy from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article at
bit.ly/1KBflzO. The Missouri Conservation Hall of Fame honors deceased citizen conservationists and former employees of MDC and other conservation-related government agencies, universities, or organizations who made substantial and lasting contributions to fisheries, forestry, or wildlife resources, including conservation law enforcement and conservation education-related activities in the state.

From Page One order, everyone’s experience on the water becomes safer. Personal flotation devices for everyone on board is a must! Children under seven years old are required to wear a personal flotation device in a boat, but you are never too old to wear a life jacket! Life jackets are now lighter, less obtrusive, and more comfortable than ever before. The new inflatable life jackets allow mobility and flexibility for activities like boating, fishing, or paddling, and are much cooler in the warmer weather. There are many different varieties of inflatable jackets ranging from those that inflate instantly when submerged in the water to those that are manually inflated. Although not required by law, children playing along the shoreline or on a dock should wear a life jacket. A drowning can occur
quickly, with little or no sign the victim is struggling. Life jackets save lives! It is important for each boat operator to know the capabilities of their boat. Reducing your speed in unfamiliar areas and being aware of unusual water conditions respective to the size and type of boat you operate are just a couple of environmental considerations. Boaters are reminded to contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol by dialing *55 on a cellular phone if they need assistance or observe another boater operating a vessel in an unsafe manner. Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!

Lady Eagles climb power rankings, eyeing district title by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com
The Lady Eagles are slowly climbing the Class 1 power rankings as they claim not one but two wins this past week. Districts is looming and the Lady Eagles have a good chance of claiming that district title if they continue to play as a team and leave it all on the field every game. Traveling to Aurora on Tuesday, April 25 the Lady Eagles won 5-2. For the game, Kristina Stockton had 3 goals followed by Amanda Mantel with 2. Mantel was credited with 1 assist while Angelina Herold had 2 and Stockton had 1. Keeper Jaci Mantel had 19 recorded saves for the game. "We played really well as a team. Everyone on the field is starting to look to score or passing with the intention to
score instead of just one or two," commented Head Coach Shelly Renegar on the win. Hosting Laquey on Thursday, April 27 the Lady Eagles dominated the game from beginning to end. The mercy rule was put into effect during the final minutes of the second half. Halie Reed scored her first goal of the season followed by Mantel with 3, Amber Collins with 1, Abigail Reese with 1, Herold with 1 and Stockton with 3. Mantel was credited with 1 assist, Collins with 1, Herold with 1, Stockton with 1 and Keeper Guadalupe Salinas had 8 recorded saves. On Tuesday, May 2 the Lady Eagles traveled to Sikeston where they were defeated 0-9. Keeper Jaci Mantel had an amazing night in the box with 30 recorded saves. On Friday, May 5 the
Lady Eagles hosted St. James. Not a good game for the Lady Eagles as they were defeated 3-1. St. James came out determined to win as they have never faired well against the Eagles. Mantel would score the only goal for the game with an assist from Herold. Jaci Mantel had 6 recorded saves as keeper. The district seeds have been announced and Liberty took the first seed. The first game of districts will have New Covenant Academy playing Laquey on Monday, May 15. On Tuesday, May 16 Liberty will play the winner of the New Covenant Academy-Laquey game at 4:30 p.m. Fair Grove will play Greenwood at 6:45 p.m. that day. The championship game will be played at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 18. All games will be played at Mercy!!!
