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 Howell 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.

Captain Inman says, “The use of sobriety checkpoints enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways.

Please, never drink and drive.”

In support of “The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths,” the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!

Memory of local leader honored West Plains Bank and Trust Company recently honored the memory of former Liberty Branch Manager/ Vice President/Senior Loan Officer Joe Head, who passed away March 24, 2015, by presenting his family with the plaque from the original Elm Street location of the Bank in Mountain View, Mo. According to West Plains Bank and Trust Company President/Chief Operating Officer David M. Gohn, Head was an important part of the Liberty Branch team.

“Joe was dedicated to his family, community, coworkers and customers,” he said. “He provided great leadership and stability to the branch. He knew just about everyone and was a friend to all. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with and know Joe. I miss him a great deal.”

Standard News Archive - Wednesday, May 21, 2014 - The LHS Class of 2014 graduated on Thursday, May 15 with 81 seniors taking their final steps through the halls of Liberty High School. The class of 2014 left the halls in a unique fashion. Instead of the usual pomp and circumstance, turning of the tassels, this group of students left their mark ... with a flash mob. A unique way to end the commencement exercises and one would expect nothing less from this class. "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." The classes motto from Mae West says it all.

General Assembly overrides governor's veto to modernize MO's welfare system The General Assembly successfully overrode the governor’s veto of Senate Bill 24 today (5-5). The bill will strengthen the state’s effort to fight poverty and modernize the welfare program.

Senate Leader Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles, said the Legislature has taken a proactive approach to reform our welfare system and created a path to help Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients find employment.

“We are not cutting welfare; we are restructuring the system and reinvesting the savings in incentives such as child care, job training and transportation services to get people back into the workforce,” said Dempsey. “Senate Bill 24 will strengthen our efforts to fight poverty in our state.”

Bill sponsor Sen. David Sater, R-Cassville, said the governor’s concerns were misplaced.

“We currently have a broken system that discourages work and needlessly creates welfare dependency,” said Sater.

“Missouri is not the first state to go in this direction, but we are unique because we are reinvesting the money we save into resources to improve work participation and empower more Missourians to become employed and independent.

Missouri has failed to implement many of the reform policies adopted by other states, and as a result, ranks dead last in welfare reform policies.

Missouri also has the lowest work participation rate for individuals on welfare in the country. Senate Bill 24

Debating Our State’s Fuel Tax No one hates taxes more than I do, but there are some necessary investments that need to be made. This week, a measure that would raise taxes on motor fuel made its way to the Senate floor. Senate Bill 540 received the Upper Chamber’s initial approval yesterday Thursday, April 30, by a vote of 18 to 13.

This measure will increase the current 17.3 cents per gallon tax on motor fuels by 3.5 cents per gallon for diesel and 1.5 cents per gallon for gas. I believe the tax increase should be changed to either be one cent or two cents per gallon. Missouri must match $100 million in order to receive the $400 million in matched federal funding by Fiscal Year 2017.

It is well known that large freight trucks are causing the largest amount of damage to Missouri’s transportation infrastructure due to the weight, size and the trucks increased usage of the roads and highways. However, we fail to recognize that these trucks pay more than four times gas tax per mile than other drivers.

Sadly, our state ranks 46th nationally in revenue received per mile, and has one of the largest highway systems in the nation per mile, yet also has the lowest fuel taxes in the country. We are one of the top five states in the number of bridges. Missouri has the seventh largest highway system in the country. Our state has 10,371 bridges, 33,890 miles of highways and 53 major river bridges, most of which are utilized by both large trucks and smaller passenger vehicles.

Missouri’s roads are vital in carrying goods across the state.

I hear a lot of derogatory remarks about our transportation workers, but what everyone needs to think about and understand, is that these are the same workers who are on call 24/7. These are the employees out at midnight in freezing temperatures making sure our roads are safe for our commute to work and getting our children to school. These are the same workers who risk their lives every day working on the roads and highways that we travel every day. There are more highway department workers killed in work related accidents than employees within the Highway Patrol.

This bill is far from becoming law. There will be much more debate and discussion during the remaining two weeks of session.

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.

will create a new structure that will help people find employment and improve work participation.

our current welfare system provides such a high level of benefits that it acts as a disincentive for work.

It is told through the eyes and ears of the staff of The Kansas City Star who were on the scene immediately after the storm in Joplin, Missouri. The tragic story irreversibly changed the lives of a family in our little town of Summersville when they lost an 11-year old grandson in this storm. A list of the names of the 161 who died from that tornado is found in the back of the book, most with a short bio. The photographs will bring reality to this horror, and the personal stories will touch hearts.

Main Street is the Road to Opportunity

This week we celebrated the backbone of our nation’s economy with National Small Business Week. America’s small businesses create about seven out of every 10 new jobs. Half of our nation’s workforce is employed at a small business, and 99.7 percent of all U.S. employers are small businesses. Sadly, though, it is getting tougher and tougher for our entrepreneurs to create businesses and live the American Dream. We must stop this trend now and do more to help job creators grow opportunities.

We must grow an “opportunity economy” instead of Washington, D.C.’s economy. Tomorrow’s good paying jobs will come from small business who have the freedom to innovate from the ground up – not from top-down bureaucrats looking out for special interests. That is why I am working to advance bottom-up solutions to build a healthy economy – one that will empower all Americans to seek new opportunities and achieve a better life.

There are an estimated 28 million small businesses in the United States and these businesses are facing overwhelming challenges of overregulation and uncertainty. In Congress, I have been working to alleviate many of these burdens on small businesses, the businesses that are the lifeblood of southeast and southern Missouri. I have introduced legislation that would help cut the regulatory red tape for job creators and families, called the SCRUB Act. We have also taken major steps to deal with the fallout from Obamacare, which is estimated to kill one million small business jobs. In addition to voting for a full repeal, the House has passed two pieces of legislation that would help small business owners hire more folks without triggering Obamacare’s mandates.

There is no shortage of people who want to start their own business. In our area, for example, I have heard about entrepreneurs with ideas for a hot sauce company, an auto detailer, and even a food truck. However, since 2008, more small businesses have closed than have opened. Even worse, this is the first time more businesses have closed than opened since we began tracking that data. Now is the time for us to turn this trend around and create an environment where we are encouraging entrepreneurship, not discouraging it. Let’s get Washington’s burdensome bureaucracy out of our local businesses, because government should be working for job creators not against them.

How to Recognize Stroke Symptoms and What to Do Dear Savvy Senior, What are the symptoms of a stroke? My 66-year-old aunt had a stroke a few months ago and neither she nor my uncle had a clue it was happening.

Concerned Relative Dear Concerned, Unfortunately, most Americans don’t know the signs of a stroke, but they need to. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and the No. 1 cause of disability. Being able to recognize a stroke and getting to the hospital quickly can make a huge difference in reducing its potentially devastating effects. Here are some tips that help you recognize a stroke, and what you should do if it happens to you or your loved one.

Types of Stroke According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke – three-quarters of which are over the age of 65. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries blood to the brain is suddenly blocked by a clot (ischemic stroke), or burst (hemorrhagic stroke), causing parts of the brain to become damaged or die. About 87 percent of all strokes are ischemic.

Depending on the severity of the brain damage, strokes can cause mild to severe disabilities including paralysis, loss of speech, vision and memory, along with other health and emotional issues, and death.

Stroke Signs Because stroke injures the brain, the person having a stroke may not realize it. Stroke victims have the best chance if someone around them recognizes the symptoms and acts quickly. The five most common symptoms include: • Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.

• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.

• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.

• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.

• Sudden, severe headache with no known cause.

The easiest way to identify a stroke is to use the F.A.S.T. test to identify the symptoms.

F (Face): Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A (Arm): Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S (Speech): Ask the person to say a simple sentence. Is their speech slurred?

T (Time): If you observe any of these signs of stroke, call 911.

To help you remember the signs, the American Stroke Association has a free “Spot a Stroke FAST” app (see strokeassociation.org) that you can download on your smartphone or mobile device. Or, visit the National Stroke Association at stroke.org and print their “Act FAST” wallet card to keep as a reminder.

Act Quickly Remember that stroke is a medical emergency and every minute counts. Even if you’re not sure a stroke is happening, call 911 anyway. The longer blood flow is cut off to the brain, the greater the damage. Immediate treatment can save a person’s life and improve their chances for a successful recovery.

Ischemic strokes are treated with a drug called t-PA that dissolves the blood clots that block the blood flow to the brain.

The window of opportunity to start treating a stroke is three hours. But to be evaluated and receive treatment, patients need to get to the hospital within 60 minutes.

If you have a choice, wait for the paramedics rather than driving the patient yourself. Patients who are transported by EMS are evaluated and treated much quicker than people who are driven in. And, of course, don’t drive if you are the one having a stroke.

It’s also very important that you call 911 even if symptoms go away. When symptoms of stroke disappear on their own after a few minutes, a “mini-stroke” or transient ischemic attack (TIA) may have occurred which is a warning that a major stroke may be coming. That’s why mini-strokes need to be treated like emergences too.

Get hooked with MDC Free Fishing Days June 6-7 Fish the Show-Me State during Free Fishing Days without having to buy a permit or trout tag Get hooked on fishing with the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Free Fishing Days June 6 - 7.

During Free Fishing Days, anyone may fish in the ShowMe State without having to buy a fishing permit, trout

permit, or trout park daily tag. Normal regulations remain in effect, such as limits on size and number

Thirteen-year periodical Cicadas expected to ring in noisy southeast Missouri summer

of fish an angler may keep.

Special permits may still be required at some county, city, or private fishing areas.

Trespass laws remain in effect on private property.

Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish, and Free Fishing Days encourages people to sample the state's abundant fishing opportunities. Missouri has more than a million acres of surface water, and most of it provides great fishing. More

than 200 different fish species are found in Missouri, with 20 of them being game fish for the state’s more than 1.1 million anglers, For information on Missouri fishing regulations, permit requirements, fish identification, and more, get a copy of MDC’s “2015 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations” where permits are sold, at MDC offices and nature centers, and online at mdc.mo.gov/

node/6108.

“Find MO Fish” with MDC’s free mobile app. Find MO Fish includes annual fishing prospects, weekly fishing reports, geo-location to find fish-attractor spots, regulations for specific fish species and locations, detailed information on various fish species, and more. The free app even lets anglers by permits online. Learn more and download Find MO Fish at mdc.mo.gov/node/15421.

Red-eyed, black-bodied periodical cicadas emerge in large broods every 13 to 17 years, depending on the brood. (Photo courtesy of MDC) This summer may be a noisy one throughout parts of Southeast Missouri according to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).

A brood of 13-year cicadas (Brood XXIII) that extends from Illinois to Louisiana will emerge in southeastern Missouri in mid-May. Periodical cicadas pose no threat to people and minimal threats to trees. But early summer will be abuzz with sound where cicadas emerge, said Rob Lawrence, forest entomologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).

"In some places they make a pretty loud noise," Lawrence said.

Cicada nymphs will open half-inch holes in the soil surface as they emerge. Some may build three- to five-inch tall mud chimneys above their holes. Wingless nymphs will climb up on trees and other objects, shed their exoskeletons and become adults with wings.

That leaves brownish paper shells that resemble shed skins attached to trees, porches and posts.

Adults will climb or fly into trees. Males will join together to form choruses to attract females. Or consider it a jam session with instruments.

Male cicadas rapidly flex two drum-like structures in their abdomens called tymbals.

The flexing produces a click, and the clicks come so fast it produces a raspy hum. They sing during the day with the loudest drone rising during the hottest part of the day.

Annual cicadas appear each

year and their drone ebbs and flows in the tree tops.

But annual cicadas appear later in the summer than the periodical variety, Lawrence said. Periodical cicadas will be prevalent in late May and June; annual cicadas appear in July and August.

Periodical cicadas are so named because the broods emerge in 13-year or 17-year cycles. This 13-year emergence is occurring in southeast Missouri and portions of other states. Another 17-year brood emergence is occurring in an area that extends from Iowa to Texas and includes western Missouri and eastern Kansas.

However, the two broods are not expected to overlap.

Striking red eyes and blackish bodies distinguish periodical cicadas. Annual cicadas have greenish bodies, dark eyes and are about two inches long. Periodical cicadas are slightly smaller. Both types of cicadas include various species.

Periodical cicadas will not appear in all locations within the brood emergence area, Lawrence said. A field or yard that did not have trees 13 years ago would not have provided a place for females to lay eggs and for the nymphs to hatch and drop to the soil. Also, soil condition changes such as severe drought or construction disturbance could reduce the number of nymphs.

However, in some areas with favorable conditions, periodical cicadas could appear by the hundreds or even thousands. Such large, periodic emergences provide

a feast for creatures that feed on insects. Wild turkeys will eat nymphs, so will fish where cicadas drop into the water.

The large emergences are an evolutionary adaptation that lets the species survive by overwhelming predators with sheer numbers and a lengthy emergence cycle, Lawrence said.

Cicadas can affect trees.

Females cut narrow slits in small branches and lay eggs in the slits. This can cause stress for limbs. Large, mature trees are generally not greatly affected. Although homeowners may notice some browned and broken branch tips, which is called flagging.

Young trees can be harmed, and fruit trees can be stressed, because they have small branches favored by females for egg laying.

MDC foresters do not recommend using insecticides for cicadas.

Small or newly-planted trees and shrubs can be covered with mesh and tied at the trunk. To reduce stress issues, homeowners should water young trees well during summer's hot and dry months, Lawrence said.

"Once they get out, they'll be singing in the trees for a while and make the racket," Lawrence said.
