Attorney General suspends sheriff Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley announced today that Mississippi County Sheriff Cory Hutcheson has been suspended from his duties after Judge William Syler granted Hawley’s order requesting that Hutcheson be removed from his position as Sheriff. Judge Syler granted General Hawley’s request Tuesday evening. General Hawley said, “The judge’s order last night will prevent Cory Hutcheson from interfering in our investigation into Friday’s events and death at the Mississippi County jail. And it will prevent him from any further abuse of his office. We have launched a full investigation that is ongoing.” “My office has already charged Hutcheson with robbery, assault and illegal surveillance. And on Friday, an inmate at the Mississippi County jail died following an altercation in which Hutcheson participated— despite the fact Hutcheson’s license as sheriff had already been suspended. Upon learning of the death at the jail, I directed my office to open a full investigation, which is now underway. The people of Mississippi County, and Missouri, deserve honest law enforcement officials. My office is committed to conducting a vigorous and impartial investigation to ensure the rule of law is upheld.”

Recovery efforts in full swing after historic flooding
Memorial Day weekend
safe Scope of Devastation grows Stay over the April’s historic flood waters have slowly begun to recede and Missourians are now realizing the extensive damage the flood waters caused. Citizens across the state are beginning the process of putting their lives back together. Numerous resources are available to those in need. “The scope of devastation in Van Buren is stunning,” commented Representative Jason Smith. “Floodwaters destroyed 188 homes and 38 businesses. Across most of the town, every yard has a massive pile of flood-damaged clothes, furniture, and other belongings. The school has millions of dollars of damage, and businesses and churches do not know when they will be able to reopen. Together we will work to get this beautiful town back on its feet. I promised the people of Van Buren that we will stay with them for the long haul and help them recover from this tragic
flood.” In Ellington, Town & Country is the only grocery store in Reynolds County. Last week’s flood put it under three feet of

Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, would like the public to make safety a priority this holiday weekend. Use a seat belt and pay attention when you drive, and wear your life jacket when you’re on or near the water. Know where work zones are located along your route, and if alcohol is part of your holiday, make sure driving a vehicle or a vessel is not.

Humane Society rescues 55 dogs On Thursday, May 11 the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force (ACT) is rescuing 55 dogs from filthy, crowded living conditions in two homes on a property in Howell County in south central Missouri. The majority of the dogs are Chihuahua and terrier mixes, ranging in age from onemonth-old puppies to mature, adult dogs. Many of the dogs have extremely overgrown toenails and eye and skin infections. Both homes were
trash-strewn and dirty, with floors and furniture soaked with urine. A concerned citizen notified the Howell County Sheriff’s Office about the situation. The Sheriff then contacted the Humane Society of Missouri ACT to assist the animals. The dogs’ owners have agreed to surrender custody to the Humane Society of Missouri. “Keeping this many dogs in these horrible conditions is unconscionable,” said Kathy See Rescue on Page 2
Motorists coming into the city limits of Mtn. View will now have to obey a noise ordinance that council passed last week.

Senate approves ‘Real ID Fix’ The Senate gave approval this week to a measure that will allow Missourians the option of choosing a Real ID-complaint license.

Thomasville community. I had the opportunity to speak to residents about their experiences and answer questions on the recovery process. Thomasville had 48 homes destroyed. This small town has already received almost $200,000 of volunteer assistance and is determined to fully recover. One gentleman told me, ‘this county is full of love.’ I completely agree, and their response to this flooding proves it.” Recently, Missouri lawmakers passed the Fiscal Year 2018 budget, which included an additional $4 million for the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). “The gover-

A preliminary damage assessment must now be completed with both federal and state officials. The damage assessments must be completed within 30 days of the disaster. The decision is then up to the president, who our governor has already stated is behind us and willing to help Missouri-
ans,” explained Senator Cunningham. The Department of Transportation announced it will award a combined $3 million grant to MoDOT, the Forest Service, and the National Park Service through its Emergency Relief program for the repair and reconstruction of highways, roads, and bridges damaged during last week’s flooding. “These resources are great news for our communities as we begin to recover,” Senator Claire McCaskill said. “Repairing our highways, roads, and bridges will be one of many critical first steps towards re-

Liberty Baseball ends but next season looks bright Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
The Liberty Eagles baseball season came to an end last Friday at Districts following a 7-2 loss to the Ava Bears who had the luxury of playing Districts at home. The 18-win Ava Bears moved on to play the 13-7 Licking Wildcats on Monday. The Eagles, despite the loss, felt like this season showed some positive signs. “I saw a ‘young’ team that got better and better as the year went on,” explained Liberty Head Coach Allen Hedden, “I told them that I would give them a couple of weeks off to rest before summer ball. They asked if we could start this Wednesday. They love to play and want to get better.” The Eagles had certain shown that toward the end of the season with an impressive victory over Eminence 10-6, and good games on the road against both Licking and Plato. Friday’s game, with Devin Hedden on the mound for the Eagles, was close for the first four innings. Ava had managed to score a run in the first inning, and another in the third for a 2-0 lead, but Liberty was still within striking distance. Hedden was solid all day, pitching six innings, giving up zero walks, and striking out two. Not until the fifth inning did the Bears break the game open with four runs and a 6-0 advantage. It was too much ground to make up for Liberty. As a team the Eagles only managed three hits, and although both Matthew Ledgerwood and Brenton Bush scored in the sixth, it wasn’t enough as the Bears held on for a 7-2 victory. Underclassmen were getting it done at the plate as sophomore Andrew Holden led the team with two base hits, and sophomore Coltin Foster add-

ed another. Koel Orchard finished the day with a stolen base as well, but the Bears pitching staff was too strong, holding Liberty to a .136 batting average. The loss wrapped up the season for this young team, but as young as the Eagles are, they benefited all season long from the play of their upperclassmen as well. Coach Hedden expressed his gratitude to his two seniors as he looked back on the season. “I want to thank Devin and

Vice-President Kourtney French, Secretary/Treasurer Max Rudolph and Student Council Representatives Whittney Prewett and Jonathan Clark.
Valedictorian MaKayla Elliott encouraged her classmates to pursue their dreams. “Whatever that dream may be, I encourage you to go for it and not stop until you achieve it. Move forward, work hard and attain excellence, the kind of excellence that will make your dreams become reality.”
Valedictorian Jaclyn Mantel noted in her speech that “Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything has?” She went on to talk about how things for her and her classmates have changed throughout their years. “Everyone in the graduating class of 2017 has been successful because each of us made it.” Mantel ended with “To quote our freshman selves, ‘we’re the best you’ve ever seen, we are the class of 17.’”
Valedictorian Todd Stockton stated his quest for valedictorian “started in kindergarten when Whittney saw the future and said I would be the one standing up here today. What I didn’t realize is there would be three of us. I want to know what you told the other two.” Stockton went on to thank family, friends and teachers.
Salutatorian Zachary Brooks began his speech with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. There were fun days with friends, there were hard days of work. We had RKOs out of nowhere. It was the age of intelligent conversations, it was the age of non-stop arguing ... in short, high school was a place that we will never forget.” Brooks ended by thanking his mom and dad, friends and teachers.
Top Ten - Following the three valedictorians and salutatorian the remainder of the top ten for Liberty High School are Emma Rector, Kourtney French, Brook Conway, Jordan McAfee, Alayna Miller, Whittney Prewett, Tori Terrill and Maxwell Rudolph. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)

eryone 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.” The Memorial Day weekend is also an unofficial start to the boating season. During the 2016 Memorial Day weekend, there were 13 boating crashes which included eight injuries and zero fatalities. No one drowned over last year’s holiday weekend. Troopers arrested 21 people for boating while intoxicated in 2016. Boating is a great pastime and troopers want everyone to enjoy themselves. Never operate a boat while you are impaired; never ride with an impaired operator. Please be courteous to others on the water, wear a lifejacket, and obey the law regarding safe operation of a vessel and no wake zones. Causing harm to another person or their property with an excessive boat wake may subject you to enforcement action or civil liability. Treat other boaters and property owners as you want to be treated. 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!! “All across the state, troopers are prepared and available to provide assistance and protection,” said Colonel Sandra K. Karsten. “All of us want you to enjoy a safe holiday weekend. No matter what plans you make, whether you’re on the highway or on the water, please be courteous and pay attention. If you drink alcohol, never operate a vehicle or vessel. Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.”

Can I Inherit My Parent's Debt? Dear Savvy Senior, What happens to a person’s debt after they die? My mother has taken on a lot of medical and credit card over the past few years and I’m worried that my brother and I will be responsible for it when she dies. What can you tell me? Worried Daughter Dear Worried, In most cases when a person with debt dies, it’s their estate, not their kids, that is legally responsible. Here’s how it works. When your mom dies, her estate – which consists of the stuff she owns while she’s alive (home, car, cash, etc.) – will be responsible for paying her debts. If she doesn’t have enough cash to pay her debts, you’ll have to sell her assets and pay off her creditors with the proceeds. Whatever is left over is passed along to her heirs as dictated by the terms of her will, if she has one. If she doesn’t have a will, the intestacy laws of the state she resides in will determine how her estate will be distributed. If, however, she dies broke, or there isn’t enough money left over to pay her “unsecured debts” – credit cards, medical bills, personal loans – then her estate is declared insolvent, and her creditors will have to eat the loss. “Secured debts” – loans attached to an asset such as a house or a car – are a different story. If she has a mortgage or car loan when she dies, those monthly payments will need to be made by her estate or heirs, or the lender can seize the property. There are, however, a couple of exceptions that would make you legally responsible for her debt after she passes away. One is if you are a joint holder on a credit card account that she owes on. And the other is if you co-signed a loan with her. NOTE TO SPOUSES: These same debt inheritance rules apply to surviving spouses too, unless you live in a community property state – Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington or Wisconsin. In these states, any debts that one spouse acquires after the start of a marriage belongs to the other spouse too. Therefore, spouses in community property states are usually responsible for their deceased spouses debts. Protected Assets If your mom has any IRAs, 401(k)s, brokerage accounts, life insurance policies or employer-based pension plans, these are assets that creditors usually cannot get access to. That’s because these accounts typically have designated beneficiaries, and the money goes directly to those people without passing through the estate. Settling Her Estate You also need to be aware that if your mom dies with debt, and she has no assets, settling her estate should be fairly simple. Her executor will need to send out letters to her creditors explaining the situation, including a copy of her death certificate, and that will probably take care of it. But, you and your brother may still have to deal with aggressive debt collectors who try to guilt you into paying. If your mom has some assets, but not enough to pay all her debts, her state’s probate court has a distinct list of what bills get priority. The details vary by state, but generally estate administrating fees, funeral expenses, taxes and last illness medical bills get paid first, followed by secured debts and lastly, credit card debts. Need Help? If you have questions regarding your situation, you should consult with a consumer law attorney or probate attorney. Or, if you just need a question or two answered, call your state’s legal hotline if available (see LegalHotlines.org), or legal services provider. 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.

Water testing available after historic flooding Heavy rains causing flash flooding have put many Howell County homeowners’ private wells under water and threatened many others. The Howell County Health Department and Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is advising well owners that private water wells contaminated with flood water can pose a health risk. So it’s important to take precautions to protect your health and take corrective actions if your well is flooded. If flood water came near your private drinking water well, your water supply may have been contaminated with pollutants carried in the flood water. In addition, wells can be contaminated by surface water runoff even if the surrounding area is not flooded. Wells at greatest risk of contamination from flood water or surface water runoff include: • Wells located in well pits. • Dug wells or any wells that do not have a watertight casing. • Wells that do not have watertight caps. • Wells that lack a grout seal in the annular space. • Wells that were submerged with flood water or surface water runoff. What can I do if my well has been impacted by flooding? If you think your private drinking water well has been impacted by heavy rain or flood water: • Discontinue use of the water for cooking and drinking. • Use water from a safe public water supply or bot-
tled water until your well has been disinfected and the water is safe to consume. • Have a sample of your well water tested by obtaining a well-water test kit, and if the water sample returns to be unsafe, • Contact a licensed well contractor to inspect and disinfect the well. Testing Available through Health Department The Howell County Health Department can help county residents perform water tests to ensure the quality of their water supply. Due to flooding, the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory is waving the fee for an unofficial bacterial analysis of the water supply and may be performed by homeowners who wish to test their own water without charge. An official bacterial test can be performed by a member of the Howell County Health Department at a charge of $20.00. Water chemistry tests will check levels of pH, nitrates, sulfides, iron, lead and other possible contaminates and must be performed by officials with the Howell County Health Department for a charge of $20.00. If both bacterial and water chemistry testing are desired, the charge will be $30.00 for the tests. Contact the Howell County Health Department Environmental Services Section at (417) 256-7078 to schedule a water test or for more information regarding water quality and testing services and proper well disinfection practices.

MDC: Spring turkey hunters harvest 43,339 birds Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that turkey hunters checked 39,239 birds during Missouri’s 2017 regular spring turkey season April 17 through May 7. Top harvest counties were Franklin with 932 birds checked, Texas with 843, and Callaway with 697.
Young turkey hunters harvested 4,100 birds during the 2017 spring youth season, April 8-9, bringing the overall 2017 spring turkey harvest to 43,339. The 2016 overall spring turkey harvest was 48,374 birds with 4,167 harvested during the youth weekend and 44,207 during the regu-
lar spring season. “Given that we haven’t had good hatches the past couple years, and the lessthan-ideal weather during a considerable portion of this year’s season, the drop in harvest compared to last year was not unexpected,” MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle said.
Howell Co. Rockin Ranchers 4-H Club receives Liberty Tree On Tuesday, May 2 the Rockin Ranchers 4-H Club planted a Liberty Tree at the Mercy Clinic Family Medicine located on East Main Street. Every year the Missouri 4-H Foundation selects one club in each county to receive the honor of getting a Liberty Tree. The Rockin Ranchers 4-H was the Howell County club selected for the honor. 4-H clubs must submit a detailed plan outlining a public accessible location for planting the Liberty Tree along with how they intend to care and maintain the tree. Rockin Ranchers’ club leader Michelle Kurtz is a nurse at the clinic and felt with the clinic’s location, the Liberty Tree would serve as a nice place for employees to gather under for breaks, and would be a nice scene for patients as well. In addition, while driving by the clinic, the tree would serve as a reminder of America’s path to liberty. “We are very excited to be selected and very excited for the opportunity to share the tree with our community,” Kurtz stated. Missouri 4-H Foundation partnered with Crader Distributing along with Stihl dealers around Missouri to provide a
The Rockin Ranchers 4-H Club was the Howell County 4-H club selected to receive the Liberty Tree for 2017.

service learning activity for 4-H clubs. Crader Distributing donated up to twenty bud-grafted Liberty Trees. “These trees are clones of the last standing Liberty Tree, under which the Declaration of Independence was read and America was born,” stated Stan Crader, president of Crader Distributing. The Missouri 4-H Foundation created this opportunity for 4-H clubs around the state as a service learning initiative to allow 4-H members to play an active role in preserving American history. The desire
of the University of Missouri Extension 4-H Youth Development Program is for the youth to have hands-on opportunities to learn skills to become productive members of their communities. The Liberty Tree is just one example of how local 4-H can get involved with their communities, while learning life skills.

He added that the number of birds harvested this spring wasn’t too far behind last year’s harvest total going into the second weekend of spring turkey season, but the heavy rains that blanketed much of the state shortly thereafter caused the harvest to drop rapidly. Isabelle noted favorable weather over this past weekend helped harvest numbers bounce back a bit. Get more information on spring turkey harvest numbers by county at: http://on. mo.gov/1jjz7Ew. The 2017 spring turkey season included two non-fatal hunting incidents. One involved a shooter who mistook another hunter for a turkey and the other was a self-inflicted shooting injury. Missouri offers some of the best turkey hunting in the nation. MDC restoration efforts in past decades have
taken this popular game bird from almost being wiped out in the state by the 1950s to an estimated sustainable population of more than 300,000 birds today. Missouri turkey
hunters spend more than $125 million each year on related travel, food, lodging, and hunting equipment, which helps local businesses and the economy.

Brown's Farm & Garden Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 5/9/2017 Receipts: 5,277 Week ago: 2,036 Year ago: 2,912 Compared to last week, the bulk of the steer and heifer calves traded unevenly steady with steers under 500 lbs 5.0010.00 lower. Yearling steers and heifers traded steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Sunshine across the Ozarks dried things out enough to allow producers to make up for the light supply last week. Reports of March beef exports 24.7 percent above a year ago and cattle on feed for 120 days or longer at a 10 year low, keeps optimism high in spite of the volatility in the futures markets. The feeder supply included 50 percent Steers, 44 percent Heifers, and 6 percent Bulls with 33 percent of the offering weighing over 600 lbs.

a Real ID-compliant license option. The measure also keeps privacy provisions in place, including not allowing social security numbers to be stored in a database accessible by any other state or the federal government. Applicants’ data also cannot be sold for commercial purposes. Bill handler, Sen. Ryan Silvey, R-Kansas City, said time was of the essence to approve this measure. “If we don’t approve this Real ID-compliant option, we could create financial strain on families and severe negative economic impact on our state,” said Silvey. “This measure lets Missourians decide for themselves whether or not they want to comply with Real ID requirements.” Majority Floor Leader, Mike Kehoe, R-Jefferson City, said the Legislature explored many options trying to find a workable solution

From Page One city that a noise ordinance will be enforced. Mtn. View Police Department Chief Jamie Perkins stated that the penalty is a class A misdemeanor. The fine can range from $225 for the first offense up to $500 and or up to 90 days in jail. Chief Perkins stated that the judge determines the fine and jail time.
From Page One to Missouri’s noncompliant ID. “The Legislature and the governor have pushed the federal government to change the policy, but so far, they have not made any indication that they will.” said Kehoe. “As it stands now, Missourians can’t get onto a military base using their driver’s license unless they have a second form of ID. They won’t be able to fly on a plane come January. It’s up to the Legislature to create a common-sense solution and allow a Real ID option. I appreciate Sen. Silvey’s efforts in crafting this reasonable and balanced solution.” For those citizens who prefer to use their current noncompliant photo ID, there are still other options they can use to board a plane. The bill will now be sent to the House for final consideration. For more on this bill and others, visit www.senate.mo.gov.
