State Hwy. AB

Rep. Shawn Rhoads announces plan for cleanup State Rep. Shawn Rhoads said that plans are underway to return State Highway AB to service be removing the water that has covered the road for weeks. Rhoads said he has spoken directly with the district engineer with the Missouri Department of Transportation, who confirmed plans to pump water off the roadway. The highway was one of several roads that closed after the historic levels of rainfall that flooded the area during the beginning of May. While many roads have been re-opened in the district, Highway AB has remained underwater. Rhoads said the plan is now for the transportation department to bring in equipment that will allow the water to be pumped off the roadway. “I know the closure of AB has been a huge inconvenience of many in our district, and my constituents have asked me to reach out to the transportation department to get the cleanup process underway as soon as possible. MoDOT has been very responsive and easy to work with on this issue and I’m hopeful we will see AB back in service in the very near future,” said Rhoads, R-West Plains.

MO recovers from 2017 flooding For many families, volunteers, and communities throughout the state, April 28th seems like it was yesterday. It was then that a strong storm system brought multiple rounds of thunderstorms and torrential rain to much of Missouri, leading to deadly and historic flooding. At least 12 rivers and major creeks crested at all-time high flood levels (in some cases several feet higher than previous records); rainfall totals reached 10 to 12 inches within several hours in some places; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration determined parts of Howell and Texas counties received “once-in-a-millennium” rainfall totals. Other areas received once-in-500year rainfall totals. In addition, there were four tornadoes on April 29. Hundreds of homes sustained major damage or were destroyed. Numerous roads

and bridges were flooded and heavily damaged in communities throughout Missouri. At this time, we want to thank the many state workers, along with our local and federal counterparts (and the numerous volunteer and faith-based organizations), for working nonstop to help our fellow Missourians pick up the pieces and take steps towards recovery. From emergency rescues and first aid support, to clothes and food, shelter and housing, our team deployed help to thousands of people in need. Rescues (documented): 164 Evacuations (documented): 128 Sandbags: 669,000 (includes 4,000 pre-filled bags) Shelters: At the event’s height, 15 shelters registered 394 people for a total of 1,083 overnight stays.

OMC to break ground on new clinic on June 12 Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at 12:15 p.m. June 12 for the new home of the combined OMC Mammoth Spring and Thayer clinic. The community is invited to attend. The groundbreaking will be held at the construction site at the corner of Nettleton and US Hwy 63 in Thayer, close to the Arkansas/Missouri state line. At 8,700 square feet, the combined clinic will greatly increase the size of the current clinics located at 300 Warmfork Road in Thayer, Missouri and 260 South Main Street in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas. “We are so pleased to officially kick off construction of this new, state-of-the-art facility,” said Tom Keller, OMC President and CEO. “By combining two clinics that are less than three miles apart into one, our goal is

to help patients get all their health care needs met in one location.” Keller said plans for the new facility include an increased number of exam rooms; a rehabilitation gym for physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy; expanded areas for behavioral healthcare, chronic care management, and patient education. The OMC Thayer Clinic has been serving the area since 1990, and is staffed by Dr. Harry Kelly, Family Nurse Practitioner Glennette Haney, and Licensed Social Worker Charlotte Collins. OMC began operating the Mammoth Spring Clinic in 1986. It is staffed by Dr. Harry Kelly and Family Nurse Practitioner Leslie Batterton. Dr. Kelly, along with Batterton, Haney and Collins will continue to provide care in the combined location.

“OMC will also be able to enhance services due to wiring and infrastructure for advanced electronic health capabilities such as telemedicine. We are proud to construct this spacious new facility to provide access to our patients closer to their homes,” added Keller. Tate General Contractors, Inc. of Jonesboro, Arkansas are the general contractors on the project. Cromwell Architects and Engineers, Inc. of Little Rock, Arkansas is the architectural firm that designed the clinic. Construction of the clinic is expected to be complete in winter 2017-2018. To reach the OMC Thayer Clinic, call 417-284-7136 or the OMC Mammoth Spring Clinic, call 870-625-3228.

The Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) held a flood recovery conference with agriculture organizations to help connect Missouri farmers with information and resources. The MDA also replaced 1,400+ land surveys that were damaged by the flood. The Missouri Department of Corrections deployed aid to areas throughout the state with dozens of staff and 191 offenders helping with sandbagging efforts. The Missouri Department of Economic Development awarded $328,000 to the community action agency network to assist families with housing needs. Additionally, AmeriCorps volunteers and partners muck and gutted over 30 homes. The Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services moved 2,200+ doses of the tetanus vaccines to the affected areas and assisted local public health agencies with needs. The department also worked to ensure contaminated and damaged foods are disposed of and sent 1,200+ drinking water collection kits.

LONG-TIME WEST PLAINS BUSINESSMAN and community leader Jay Padgett, right, received the Granvil Vaughan Founder’s Award Saturday, May 20, during Missouri State University-West Plains’ commencement ceremony at the West Plains Civic Center arena. He received his award from Missouri State-West Plains Chancellor Drew Bennett. (Missouri State-West Plains)

In the spirit of those who established Missouri State University-West Plains over 50 years ago, campus officials presented long-time West Plains businessman and community leader Jay Padgett with the prestigious Granvil Vaughan Founder’s Award during Saturday’s commencement ceremonies at the West Plains Civic Center. The award, named in honor of the campus’ founder, the late Missouri State Rep. Granvil Vaughan, was presented to Padgett by Missouri StateWest Plains Chancellor Drew Bennett. The award is given annually at commencement to recognize individuals who have made a significant impact

upon the mission of Missouri State-West Plains.

His service to the campus and the community exemplifies the university’s public affairs mission and serves as an example for everyone.” Since his earliest documented involvement with Missouri State-West Plains in 1973,

Local author, Edwin Woolsey, is pleased to announce the release of his latest novel, And There Were Giants - Up From The Pit Of Dudael, and the subsequent summer display of his new book at the International Christian Retail Show in Cincinnati, June 2730. Woolsey’s latest book concludes his fantasy series And There Were Giants, based on biblical Genesis and Revelation. The first two books in the series, Into The Land Of Nede and Beyond The Gates Of Daemon-Gore, chronicle Creation and the Great Flood in an imaginative way. His latest novel, Up From The Pit Of Dudael, deals with the Last Days, the Tribulation Period, the rise of Antichrist, and the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom on earth. June 27-30, 2017, the author’s most recent book will

be displayed in Cincinnati at the International Christian Retail Show. Currently, Woolsey is finishing a new book, The Wolves of War, in an upcoming series entitled The Chronicler. In this six-book project, the author will retell his family’s history for the past 1200 years, encompassing the Saxon settlement of Britannia to the post-Civil War era in America. In the genre of historical fiction, each novel will cover 200 years of world events while encompassing five generations.

Charles Shepherd, a retired rancher and life-time resident of Birch Tree has written and published a poem, ‘Stampede’. In January 2017, Shepherd re-discovered a poem he had written about 40 years ago. He sent the poem to his brother Bob who lives in VA.

Shepherd’s poem, “Stampede” seemed to fit the criteria. They emailed the poem with his biography according to the specifications of the publication. At the end of April, Elizabeth Dillion, editor of Cowboy Poetry Press notified them that Shepherd’s poem “Stampede” was selected to be published in the Spring/ Summer 2017 edition of UNBRIDLED, an anthology of cowboy poetry.

Letter to the Editor:

Dear Editor, After reading about the permanent closing of the museum at the Nash Farm Battlefield in Hampton, Georgia, I have a few thoughts on the destruction of Civil War emblems and monuments... The effect of government is seldom good, noted by an early quote first appearing in 1837, “The best government is that which governs least.” In 1861, the neutral state of Missouri, which had voted to remain in the Union, was attacked by its own Federal government for NOT complying with unconstitutional orders from a tyrannical president who arrested and imprisoned anyone stating a different opinion from his own (thanks to the illegal / unconstitutional use of EXECUTIVE ORDER). Businesses and newspapers were shut down by the same tyrannical president for opposing his tyranny. We need look no farther than the suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus, the heinous crimes committed against Maryland, and the arrest order for Supreme Court Justice Roger B. Taney. The consequence being the radicalization and polarization of an entire nation. Since there was no longer any common middle ground upon which to stand (due to the offensive actions of government) both aggrieved parties / sides were given war as their only recourse. Thus, Missouri, a neutral state that had voted to remain in the Union, was bullied into declaring war against that same Union, after being radicalized due to tyranny. Today, the Old Southern Flag has been used as an emblem by two groups of people. On one hand, you have the historians, people who see the banner as a memorial to our nation’s history emblematic of BOTH valor and error. The historical value of that Old Flag teaches the bravery of devoted individuals fighting for a cause... as well as a cause that was not entirely right. Thus, the emblem’s worth is twofold... and should remain as a reminder of both courage and incorrectness. The second group (using the Old Flag) is an offensive minority, that claims the emblem as a justification for hate. These people are held by ALL to be wrong, and their use of the standard is illegitimate. HOWEVER, IF TYRANNY OF GOVERNMENT DENIES THE USE AND VALUE OF THE BANNER FOR THE HISTORIAN WHO STANDS IN THE MIDDLE, THEN ONCE AGAIN THERE REMAINS NO MIDDLE GROUND WHEN THE HISTORIAN IS VILIFIED FOR THE STANDARD’S USE. THIS TYRANNICAL ACTION OF EXTREME GOVERNMENT LEAVES THE OLD FLAG IN THE HANDS OF A RADICAL MINORITY. This hateful trend toward political-correctness is by itself polarizing a harmless situation, by demonizing the historical value of an emblem, as well as time-honored monuments / memorials. Valor is being destroyed by tyranny, leaving nothing in its wake but HATE! History is being obliterated so the mistakes of the past can be re-enacted again by the ignorant radicals who stand at either extreme. The Old Flag will always remain! However, due to the tyranny of the far left, that standard is now the exclusive property of a growing minority of hatemongers on the far right... after the foolish and unnecessary obliteration of the historians in the middle. History is repeating itself... by its own denial. Edwin Woolsey Willow Springs, MO

Workshop schedule announced for Old Time Music Festival Attendees at this year’s Old Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival will be treated to a great schedule of musical and traditional arts workshops during the two-day event. Artists who know the value of passing along the knowledge and joy of traditions will share their talents with all who want to participate. Workshops will be held in the Dogwood Rooms at the Civic Center. The Festival in downtown West Plains, Mo., will celebrate its 23rd year Friday and Saturday, June 2 and 3, 2017. The two-day annual event in downtown West Plains, Mo., celebrates Ozarks music and culture. Festival hours are 3 – 10 p.m. both days. Admission to all festival events is free. Here’s the line-up: Buck Dancing – Kim Roe Friday – 3-4 p.m. Pinecastle Records recording artists the Roe Family Singers are a Good-Time, OldTime Hillbilly band from the tiny community of Kirkwood Hollow, MN. Led by wife & husband Kim Roe (Best Female Vocalist, City Pages/Village Voice) and Quillan Roe (Accident Clearinghouse), the band marries old-time sounds from barn-dances, fiddle pulls,

and county fairs with the rock & roll passion of youth. Featuring Appalachian clogging, they’ve shared the stage with Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, Del McCoury, the Grascals, and Jim Kweskin & Geoff Muldaur. The Roe Family Singers mix original music and contemporary takes on old-time, traditional, and gospel tunes into one roiling & rollicking river of fresh yet familiar American music. Every performance raises a ruckus. Fiddle – John Williams Friday – 4-5 p.m. One of the foremost Missouri old-time fiddlers playing today, John Williams has played the fiddle for over 20 years. He first caught the “fiddle bug” at age seven inspired by the “fiddling I heard growing up at the local fiddle contests my family would take me to.” He grew up and still lives in northeast Missouri on his family’s farm located in rural Monroe County. Central and northeast Missouri is home to the distinctive regional old time fiddle style known as Little Dixie; generally characterized by long bow strokes, an emphasis on clear notes and melodies, frequent double stops, and accenting

Missouri Heroes

Time at the lake or on the river, barbeques and kicking off summer with family and friends – Memorial Day is a time where we celebrate our freedom, but we must stop to remember the cost. It is a day for us to remember those who died fighting for our country and protecting our way of life. Before you set off to enjoy summer, I ask that you pause to remember and honor Memorial Day with me. I visited the local VFW in Cape Girardeau recently which is named after three Missouri heroes. Lloyd Dale Clippard, Richard Gene Wilson and Robert Lee Taylor, Jr. Clippard was a member of the U.S. Navy and just 19 years old when he became Cape Girardeau’s first WWII casualty. He had been on duty for three short months when he and his fellow sailors were attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. His remains were never recovered and are entombed in the hull of the USS Utah. Wilson was a combat medic for the U.S. Army in the Korean War. He died trying to rescue a wounded soldier at the Battle of Yongju. Taylor was an Army Infantryman in Vietnam. He died in combat in the Dinh Tuong Province, fighting against the threat of Communism, and was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. This week, I heard stories from Forest O’Neill of Rolla who recalled many of his fellow Marines that were lost in battle against North Korea. It was December of 1950, Forest and his fellow Marines were fighting their way out of the Chosin Reservoir in temperatures that were 20 and 30 degrees below zero. Sadly, not everyone made it out alive, but Forest and his fellow Marines made sure everyone, dead or alive, made it home. During the Vietnam War, Missouri lost 1,422 brave soldiers. Earl Wayne Ellis, Dennis Edward Isgrig, Charles Wayne Buntion, Warren Paul Seawel, Frederick John Shuh and Larry Lee Thomure along with too many others are honored on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in D.C. If you aren’t able to pay tribute in person, I encourage you to visit VirtualWall.org and learn more about those from Missouri who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Today we fight a new war, the Global War on Terror. This war has presented new challenges but the bravery, heroism and sacrifice of Missourians has remained unchanged. Army Sergeant Robert Gene Davis from Jackson, Missouri gave his life for freedom in Afghanistan. As Davis’ convoy charged forward, an improvised explosive device detonated underneath his Humvee. Army Specialist James R. Burnett, Jr. from Stoddard County was killed in action by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan as well. Staff Sergeant Bradley Joe Skelton of Gordonville volunteered to come out of retirement and go on another tour of duty with the Missouri National Guard. It was during this second tour when he was killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad. As we pause to remember those we’ve lost, I am inspired by Korean War Veteran Forest O’Neill who said “Don’t give up. Never quit.” It’s difficult to put my depth of gratitude into words. Thank you feels insufficient compared to what these families have endured. From World War II, The Korean War and Vietnam to the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Missourians have fought bravely and died valiantly. Their families have sacrificed dearly, but as we celebrate our freedoms this weekend, we know their sacrifices are not in vain.

all of which produce a driving quality to the tunes. John teaches regularly as a master fiddler at the same Bethel Fiddle Camp he once attended. He has been selected twice as a master artist in Missouri’s Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program, one of the youngest masters chosen in the programs 32-year old history. As John simply and directly puts it, “I want to play and pass on the traditional tunes that have been played in our state for generations.” Back-up Guitar – Kenny Applebee - Friday – 5-6 p.m. Kenny Applebee has lived all his life in rural Audrain County near Mexico, MO. For over 50 years, he has played old-time rhythm guitar at festivals, contests, dances fiddler conventions, and jams in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas. When coming up, he heard the older backup musicians of the day. Over time, he developed his own style of playing. During the hay day of Missouri old-time fiddle contests; he emerged as one of the most sought after back up players around. Kenny is known for his “walking chords,” impeccable rhythm, clear notes and distinctive bass runs that make him the guitarist of choice for fiddlers, past and present. For years, he was late fiddler Pete McMahan’s preferred and highly treasured guitarist. Pete was a man extremely particular about his backup musicians. The two developed a partnership and close bond, memories Kenny treasures. Kenny still enjoys playing backup and fiddle contests but like John is selective, playing at contests whose organizers still operate under old time contest regulations. He picked up playing the fiddle over 20 years ago and these days he enjoys competing in the senior fiddle division. Bass – Roe Family Singers Saturday – 3-4 p.m. Pinecastle Records recording artists the Roe Family Singers are a Good-Time, OldTime Hillbilly band from the

tiny community of Kirkwood Hollow, MN. Led by wife & husband Kim Roe (Best Female Vocalist, City Pages/Village Voice) and Quillan Roe (Accident Clearinghouse), the band marries old-time sounds from barn-dances, fiddle pulls, and county fairs with the rock & roll passion of youth. The Roe Family Singers mix original music and contemporary takes on old-time, traditional, and gospel tunes into one roiling & rollicking river of fresh yet familiar American music. Every performance raises a ruckus. Finger Pickin’ Guitar – Dennis Crider - Saturday – 4-5 p.m. Music and photography have been passions of Dennis since early childhood and his interest in the two has never waned. In fact, he is busier now than ever with both endeavors. He remembers loving the sound of Les Paul and Mary Ford even before he started kindergarten in his home town of Wichita, Kansas. A few years later he gained appreciation of the finger style techniques of Merle Travis and Chet Atkins and around age 12 he began thumping on a banjo ukulele and a hard-to-play Stella acoustic guitar. He also can be found on some Friday nights jamming with his bluegrass buddies at the West Plains Music Store playing his Sweet P guitar. His guitar, named after his wife, Phyllis, was handcrafted by local luthier Phil Orlikowski. Banjo – Van Colbert - Saturday – 5-6 p.m. Old-time music has been a family tradition for generations for Colbert Brothers Leon, Van, Vernon and John, all of whom hail from Willow Springs, Mo. “Mom and Dad instilled in us the love of their music, and to this day we play, sing and remember,” said Van, who is known for his unique “two-finger” roll style on banjo. The Colbert’s father, Joseph Truett, who was named for a famous turn-of-the-century

Less than two weeks ago the 2017 Legislative Session came to an end. However, lawmakers quickly learned we would be returning to the Capitol on Wednesday, May 18, when the governor announced a special session beginning on May 22. The governor called this special session to work on legislation which would allow Ameren-Missouri and the Missouri Public Service Commission to establish special rates for a potential smelter and steel mill in New Madrid. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Don Rone, R- Portageville, would most importantly bring as many as 500 jobs to Southeast Missouri. Just as things have not slowed down in the Capitol, we all are finding ourselves in the early weeks of summer with busy schedules and an ever-growing list of things we want to accomplish. My hope this week is that each of us take time to celebrate the true reason for Memorial Day. Memorial Day represents one day of national awareness and reverence, honoring those Americans who died while defending our nation. While we should honor these heroes every day for the profound contributions they made to secure our freedom, we should especially commemorate them and their families on Memorial Day. Please take the time to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may continue to live in a society free from the fears many others around the world face. We are a blessed nation. Memorial Day is the perfect time to pause and honor those who have died protecting our way of life and our lives. 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.

minister, taught himself to play a banjo he built by stretching a groundhog skin over the hoop for a head. He taught Van’s older brothers to chord the guitar and enjoyed playing along once they could carry a tune. Mother Vernieca May (Easley) Colbert also was a beautiful singer and lady, Van said, and before she passed away, they could always encourage her to sing “Beautiful Brown Eyes,” “Red River Valley,” “Maple on the Hill” and “Wildwood Flower” to their accompaniment. The Old-Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival is the signature event for West Plains. The two-day festival seeks to celebrate, preserve, pass on and

nurture an appreciation of the old-time music and folk life traditions distinctive to the Ozark Highlands. 2017 Festival partners include the West Plains Council on the Arts, the City of West Plains, the Ozark Heritage Welcome Center, West Plains Civic Center, and Missouri State University-West Plains. Partial funding for this event was provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.

republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. “I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.”

If and when a federal declaration is made, the state will take immediate action to deploy additional services to Missourians and communities in need.

Enforcement totals

A total of 50 citations and 40 warnings were issued in conjunction with a hazardous moving violation enforcement operation conducted in Wright County on May 19, 2017. Also, one person was arrested for driving while intoxicated and two for misdemeanor drug violations. Totals from this enforcement effort include: 38 - speed citations 7 - no seat belt citations 1 - non-moving violation citation 2 - driver license violation citations 2 - uninsured motorist citations 1 - driving while intoxicated arrest 2 - misdemeanor drug arrests “Hazardous moving violation operations are one tool the Missouri State Highway Patrol uses to make our roadways a safer place for Missouri’s motorists,” said Captain Mark G. Inman. “Please be careful when behind the wheel and always be a courteous driver.” The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone 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.”

Accelerated LPN to RN class of 2017 graduates

Health Coverage Options for Pre-Medicare-Age Spouses Dear Savvy Senior, My wife, who is 62, is on my health insurance plan through my employer. When I retire in a few months at 65, and go on Medicare, what are my wife’s options? Is there some kind of Medicare coverage for dependent spouses, or do we have to purchase Obamacare? Approaching Retirement Dear Approaching, Medicare, unfortunately, does not offer family coverage to younger spouses or dependent children when you qualify for Medicare. Nobody can obtain Medicare benefits before age 65, unless eligible at a younger age because of disability. With that said, here are some coverage options, including Obamacare, to consider for your wife. Keep working: If possible, consider working past age 65. This would allow your wife to continue coverage under your employer health insurance until she becomes eligible for Medicare. Employer options: If your employer provides retiree health benefits, check with your benefits administrator to find out if they offer any options that would allow your wife to continue coverage under their plan. Or, if your wife works, see if she can she switch to health insurance provided by her own employer. COBRA: If you work for a company that has 20 or more employees, once you make the switch to Medicare, your wife could stay with your company insurance plan for at least 18 months (but could last up to 36 months) under a federal law called COBRA. You’ll need to sign her up within 60 days after her last day of coverage. But be aware that COBRA isn’t cheap. You’ll pay the full monthly premium yourself, plus a 2 percent administrative fee. To learn more, see DOL.gov/ebsa/publications/ cobraemployee.html or call 866-444-3272. If, however, the company you work for has fewer than 20 employees, you may still be able to get continued coverage through your company if your state has “mini-COBRA.” Contact your state insurance department to see if this is available where you live. Individual insurance: Buy your wife an individual health insurance policy through the Health Insurance Marketplace (aka Obamacare) until she turns 65. The Marketplace, as it stands now, offers comprehensive health coverage and they can’t deny her coverage or charge extra for preexisting health conditions. And, if your income falls below the 400 percent poverty level – anything below $47,520 for an individual or $64,080 for a couple in 2017 – you may be eligible for a tax credit that will reduce the amount you’ll have to pay for a policy. To see how much you can save, see the subsidy calculator on the Kaiser Family Foundation website at KFF.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator. To shop for marketplace plans in your state, visit Healthcare.gov or call their toll-free helpline at 800318-2596. If, however, your wife isn’t eligible for the government subsidy, or you want additional policy options to what the Marketplace offers, you can also buy health coverage outside the government marketplaces directly through a private insurance company, an online insurance seller, or an agent or broker. This option is not available if you live in Washington D.C. or Vermont. These policies do not offer the federal tax credits, but they are required to offer the same menu of essential benefits as Marketplace policies do, and they can’t deny coverage or charge extra for preexisting health conditions. You might even find slightly lower premiums on outside policies, assuming that you don’t qualify for the tax credits. To find a local broker or agent that sells insurance plans, check the National Association of Health Underwriters website (NAHU.org) which has an online directory. But keep in mind that agents won’t necessarily show you all available policies, just the ones from insurers they work with. You can also look for these plans at insurance shopping sites like eHealthInsurance.com or GoHealth.com, which lists plans and providers that may not be listed on Healthcare.gov. 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.

Twenty two nursing students are laying down their textbooks and putting on their new scrubs. On Saturday, May 6, Texas County Technical College held a commencement ceremony for its Class of 2017 Accelerated LPN to RN students.

Mowing season begins on Missouri Roadsides Motorists asked to slow down and pass crews carefully Pushing the lawn mower back and forth across the yard is a springtime necessity. At the Missouri Department of Transportation, our crews are beginning the mowing season with a main purpose: safety. During May and June, there is a good chance you will see MoDOT crews out mowing on tractor mowers so motorists have a clear, safe line of sight as they cruise along state highways. “We ask motorists to pay attention and slow down when approaching mowing crews. Please take the time to pass carefully and safely especially on rural two-

lane roads,” said MoDOT State Maintenance Engineer Becky Allmeroth. Major and minor routes will be mowed in three cycles starting in mid-May, mid-July and mid-September. Along with the mowing, crews selectively use herbicides to stunt vegetation growth as well as to control brush and stop the spread of noxious weeds. Wildflowers are an added benefit of not mowing fence-to-fence and careful herbicide usage. On rural two-lane roads, crews may use a protective “follow” truck to alert motorists they are approaching slow-moving mowers.

Drivers are advised to use the following tips to safely pass mowers: - Be alert for trucks and tractors with lights flashing and moving slowly, 2 to 5 mph. Slow down and focus on the road ahead of you. Avoid talking and texting on a cell phone or other distractions. Be prepared to stop or drive very slowly behind a “follow” truck, especially approaching a hill or curve on a two-lane road. Obey the no passing zone stripes and only pass when you can see far enough past the “follow” truck to avoid meeting oncoming traffic. Between mowing cycles, report grass and weeds blocking visibility at intersections along state roads to MoDOT. Contact MoDOT’s 24/7 Customer Service Center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (1888-275-6636) or fill out an online form at www.modot. org and click on Report A Road Concern.

Take steps to reduce hay fires this bailing season Fires that damage or destroy hay and barns cost farmers thousands of dollars each year, resulting in lost revenue and need for building and feed replacement. Proper harvesting and storage practices will reduce the possibility of hay fires and reduce the associated costs according to Bob Schultheis, a natural resource engineering specialist with University of Missouri Extension.

“You can reduce fire and mold risk by baling small square bales at 18 to 22 percent moisture content,” said Schultheis. Because large round bales contain three times more hay per square foot of surface area, it takes longer for the bales to give up their moisture, so they need to be baled drier at 14 to 18 percent moisture content. “Higher moisture levels

increase microbial activity and result in loss of dry matter and usable protein, which can reduce the feeding value of the hay by as much as onethird,” said Schultheis. Hay fires usually occur within six weeks of baling, because the most common cause is excessive moisture. Heating in hay bales will occur to some extent in all forages over 15 percent moisture content, with a peak in

Expect Japanese beetles earlier this year Japanese beetles are back in full force in Missouri. Expect them two weeks earlier than normal, says University of Missouri Extension entomologist Ben Puttler. Puttler traps Japanese beetles and other pests. He already sees larger-than-normal counts of Japanese beetles this year. Wet weather creates conditions favorable for earlier emergence. The gregarious eaters chomp holes in plant leaves. Their favorite foods are linden trees and roses. They also feed on soybean, corn and wheat. Japanese beetles can cause significant damage if uncontrolled. They target corn tassels and silks, reducing pollination and production. They move in groups to feed high on host plants that give off strong, sweet odors. The beetles are metallic green with bronze- or copper-colored wings and 12 white tufts of hair around the shell. Numbers usually peak in

temperature four to seven days after baling according to Schultheis. “It takes 15 to 60 days for the hay temperature to decline to non-damaging levels, depending on outdoor humidity, the density of the bales and amount of rain the bales soak up. The longer it takes for the hay temperature to decline, the more damage is done to the hay,” said Schultheis. Safe storage temperature for hay is 120 degrees Fahrenheit or less. New hay that is stacked in the field or placed in a barn should be checked at least twice a day for abnormal heating. “If storing hay inside,

be sure the barn roof and plumbing do not leak and that surface water cannot run into the barn,” said Schultheis. “If the hay temperature reaches 130 degrees, move the hay to allow increased air circulation and cooling.” If the temperature climbs above 150 to 175 degrees, call the fire department and be prepared to inject water to cool hot spots before moving the hay. Don’t open the barn door if the hay is smoking. The added oxygen can cause the hay to burst into flame. Hay temperature can be easily checked using a composting thermometer. Lacking a thermometer, a probe can also be built using a

3/8-inch diameter pipe with a pointed tip screwed to the end and holes drilled in it. A thermometer can then be inserted into the pipe and retrieved and read after 10 to 15 minutes. For more details on this topic, see MU Guide G4575 “Making and Storing Quality Hay” at http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G4575.
