Liberty High School Drama Club performs ‘The Girl In The Mirror’
The Girl In The Mirror was performed by the drama club at the Liberty High School on Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7. The play was about Susan Connors, age 17, who lies in a coma in the intensive care unit of a hospital. She has tried to kill herself by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. “Whether she lives or dies now,” a doctor explains to Susan’s mother, “is largely a matter of her own will. We’ve done everything we could.” This unusual, original drama reveals what is going through the dying girl’s mind as she lies in her bed. It is a play about depression and suicide but also about how easily people can misunderstand each other with tragic results. It is a play about communication, about feelings, about sympathy and, most importantly, about self-knowledge. The cast included: Speaker-Kelsey Draeger; Susan Connors-Sam Wallace; mother (Gail Connors)-Elexis Taber; Bryan Sellers-Tyler Langston; father (Tom Connors)-Steven Cooley; Samantha-Alayna Miller; Dr. Allen-Tatum McCollough; Mrs. Hale-Greilyn Tuggle; teacher (Mrs. Douglas)-Savannah Williams; Dr. Richards-Carlos Adams; Doctor-Lee Rudolph; Nurse-Carmen Gardner; Bryan’s friend (Scotty)-Corey Rogers; girl-Taylor Tate and students Isobel Tripp and Kansas Woods. The play was written by Bruce Jacoby and directed by Ryan Smith. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)

There is a placement exam to determine a starting point since each person is at a different place in their learning.

The only cost associated is the $95 fee for the test itself and it must be taken in West Plains. Anyone interested can stop by SBU during regular class hours and speak with Teresa. Her office is located up the steps and to the right when one enters the SBU main door.

How to Replace Vital Documents that are Lost or Stolen Dear Savvy Senior, Can you tell me how to go about replacing important lost documents? My wife and I recently downsized to a retirement community, and somewhere in the move we lost our Social Security and Medicare cards, birth certificates, marriage license and passports. Worried Ron Dear Ron, Replacing important documents that are lost, stolen or damaged is pretty easy if you know where to turn. Here are the replacement resources for each document you mentioned, along with some tips to protect you from identity theft, which can happen if your documents end up in the wrong hands. Birth certificate: If you were born in the United States, contact the vital records office in the state where you were born (see cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm for contact information). This office will give you specific instructions on what you need to do to order a certified copy and what it will cost you. Birth certificate fees range between $9 and $30. Social Security card: You can replace a lost or stolen Social Security card for free, and if you live in the District of Columbia, Michigan, Nebraska, Washington or Wisconsin, you can do it online at ssa.gov/ssnumber. If, however, you live outside these areas, you’ll need to fill out Form SS-5 (see ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf to print a copy) and take it in or mail it to your nearby Social Security office, along with your U.S. driver’s license, or a state-issued non-driver ID card or a U.S. passport (photocopies are not accepted). Any documents you mail in will be returned to you. To find the Social Security office that serves your area, call 800-772-1213 or see ssa.gov/locator. You also need to be aware that losing your Social Security card puts you at risk for identity theft. If you find that someone uses your Social Security number to obtain credit, loans, telephone accounts, or other goods and services, report it immediately to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov (or 877-438-4338). This site will also give you specific steps you’ll need to take to handle this problem. Medicare card: To replace your Medicare card for free, just call Social Security 800-772-1213 or contact your local Social Security office. You can also request one online at ssa.gov/ myaccount. Your card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days. By losing your Medicare card, you also need to watch out for Medicare fraud. So check your Medicare Summary Notice for services you did not receive and, if you spot any, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800-447-8477 to report them. Marriage certificate: Contact your state’s vital records office to order a copy (see cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm). You’ll need to provide your full names for you and your spouse, the date of your wedding, and the city or town where the wedding was performed. Fees range from $10 to $30. Note: Divorce certificates can also be ordered from your state’s vital records office (fees range from $5 to $30), and divorce decree documents can be obtained from the county clerk’s office for the city or county in which the divorce was granted. Passport: A lost passport also puts you at risk for identity theft, so you need to report this as soon as possible to the U.S. State Department. Go to travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/ passports/lost-stolen.html and fill out Form DS-64. You’ll receive an e-mail acknowledging that your report was received. Within a couple of days, you’ll receive another e-mail (or letter, if you request that option) confirming that your passport has been entered into the Consular Lost or Stolen Database. You can apply for a replacement passport at a Passport Application Acceptance Facility. Many post offices, public libraries and local government offices serve as such facilities. You can search for the nearest authorized facility at iafdb.travel.state.gov. The fee for a replacement passport is $135.

Liberty rolls over Houston in first-round of districts by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
Liberty showed up for the District tournament last weekend ready to rumble. After rain cancelled the final two games of the regular season, the Eagles promptly dismantled the Houston Tigers 7-0 in the first-round game of the District Tournament, before heading into a rematch with the number one seed on Monday. On Friday, however, it was all Liberty. Cale Cornman pitched the full seven innings, racked up nine more strikeouts on his ever-growing total, and Dakota Millard was simply unstoppable. The Eagles, who needed eight innings to barely scrape by the Tigers three weeks ago, ran away with the game this time. When Houston tried some strategy, intentionally walking Cornman twice, Millard stepped up and drove him and others around the bases. When the game ended, Millard finished with two sacrifice flies, and a whopping five RBI’s. Liberty Head Coach Allen Hedden was happy with the effort. “We scored every inning. Dakota Millard came up huge. Each time they (walked Cale) Dakota made them pay. We hope we can continue that today.” By “today” Coach Hedden was referring to Monday’s second round in Districts against Mountain Grove, a game that was played after the paper’s deadline. The Panthers started Districts with an 18-5 record. One of those victories included a recent 10-0 win against Liberty, but the Eagles had been hoping for another shot at the top-seed. “We’ve got a game plan with our pitching,” explained Coach Hedden on Monday morning, “We’re going use bullpen by committee, try not to let them get too many looks at each one of those kids. Finish it off with Cale in the seventh. Last time we played we put the ball in play. We hit it right at them. We couldn’t get consecutive hits so hopefully we can do that today, scratch some runs, put some pressure on them. The pressure’s on them, not on us. They’re the number one seed, top five in the State, so we’re just going to go up and have a good time and see what happens.” It was certainly a good time on Friday. Koel Orchard led off the first inning with a double and eventually scored, giving the Eagles a 1-0 lead. The Tigers put men
on base in the first inning as well, but a strikeout and a defensive play ended the Tiger’s scoring threat with two consecutive outs. They wouldn’t get close for the next several innings. “Played really well defensively,” said Coach Hedden, “Made some big plays out in the field to help Cale. Cale pitched a really good game. He had good command…He did a really good job battling back after starting out slow.” At the plate, the Eagles were just getting started. With two outs in the second inning, Orchard got on base with a walk, and the Tigers intentionally walked Cornman. That gave the Eagles two baserunners, and Millard drove both them in with a single. Liberty led 3-0 after two innings. The Tigers went nowhere fast in the third and fourth innings as Cornman struck out two batters and the Liberty defense made plays. Tyler Dewick scored for the Eagles in the third, and Millard picked up another RBI in the fourth, driving in Cornman for the second time to give Liberty a 5-0 lead. Houston’s best chance to get on the board came in the fifth inning. With two outs and one man on base, the Tigers loaded the bases with a base hit, and a walk. Cornman ended the threat, however, with his seventh strike out of the afternoon. The Tigers never got on base again. Liberty meanwhile added a run in each of the final two innings at bat. In the bottom of the fifth Corbin Dewick got on base with a walk, and managed to work his way around to score. In the sixth inning, the Millard-Cornman combination struck again. Cornman reached base on a single, and Millard was there with the sacrifice fly for his fifth RBI of the day. Liberty officially put the Tigers away in the top of the seventh inning as Cornman pitched his ninth strikeout and the defense made two more stops to give the Eagles a 7-0 victory. Regardless of Monday’s game against the top-seeded Mountain Grove Panthers, the Eagles arrived at Districts playing at the top of their game. PITCHING AGAINST HOUSTON: Cornman 7 innings, 2 hits, 0 Earned Runs, 9 K’s; BATTING AGAINST HOUSTON: Orchard 1 of 4, 2 runs, double, steal; Millard 2 of 2, 2 SAC, 5 RBI’s; C.Dewick 1 run; T. Dewick 1 of 3, 1 run; Foster 1 run; Cornman 2 of 2, 3 runs.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages motorists to give turtles crossing roads a brake. Turtles are struck by cars throughout warmer months, but are at special risk this time of year because they are on the move. Young males make up most of the travelers as they search for territories of their own and for female turtles. Comfort is also a factor. Like other reptiles, turtles are cold-blooded so basking on warm asphalt feels good on cool spring days. MDC encourages motorists to slow down when they see a turtle in the road
and check to be sure they can safely steer around it. If helping a turtle cross a road, keep human safety as the number-one concern. Check for traffic and move the turtle across the road in the direction it is traveling. The three-toed box turtle is a species often seen crossing roads in Missouri. Primarily a woodland species, it is found everywhere but the extreme northern part of the state. The ornate box turtle is also a common traveler and is found in all but the southeastern corner of the state. It is more adapted to grasslands and is most common in western Missouri.
