Arrest following investigation of officer-involved shooting As a result of an investigation of the officer-involved shooting that occurred on April 25, 2016, in Randolph County, James R. Fainter, 34, of Moberly, Missouri, was arrested on a Randolph County felony warrant for the following felony charges: first degree assault on a law enforcement officer (two counts), armed criminal action (two counts), unlawful possession of a firearm, and receiving stolen property. Bond has been set at $100,000. Fainter remains in a Columbia, Missouri, hospital recovering from injuries sustained in the incident. At approximately 11 a.m., on April 25, 2016, a Randolph County sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop Fainter, who was driving a 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada, on a Randolph County road in southwest Randolph County for a traffic violation. Fainter refused to stop and led the deputy on a pursuit that ended west of Huntsville, Missouri, on U.S. Highway 24. As Fainter exited the vehicle he was driving, he began to flee on foot, two Randolph County deputies began to give chase. At this time Fainter displayed a firearm and fired it toward officers. Randolph County deputies returned gunfire and Fainter was struck twice. A female passenger who was in the vehicle with Fainter was questioned and later released. The investigation is being conducted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control, with the assistance of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Department, Moberly Police Department, Huntsville Police Department, and the Randolph County Ambulance District. The charges for which Fainter was arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before of court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Congressman Jason Smith announces Regional Congressional Art Competition winners Congressman Jason Smith announced the local winners of the annual 8th district Congressional Art Competition. Smith’s West Plains office received many impressive artwork submissions from high school students in Howell, Douglas, Ozark and Oregon Counties. At a reception at The West Plains Civic Center on Monday, Smith honored all the high school artists who entered and announced the two regional winners – Kayla McBride and Faith Hohlweg both of Bakersfield High School. “I am very impressed with the overall talent and artistic ability of these high school artists from the 8th district,” said Smith. “Each piece of
artwork submitted was incredible and I am proud to represent such talented artists who have bright futures ahead of them.” The two entries from the West Plains office will be combined with two winners from each of other offices in the 8th district in Cape Girardeau, Rolla and Farmington. The eight winning pieces will then be entered into the overall District Art Competition to be juried at the Art Council of Southeast Missouri. An overall “Best of Show” winner will be announced on May 6 and the winning artwork will be displayed in the United States Capitol for one year. Additionally, the seven
runners-up will be displayed at the Art Council of Southeast Missouri for the month of May and will be invited to a reception with Congressman Smith where they will receive a certificate of recognition. “It’s wonderful to have participation throughout our district for this competition and we enjoy having the ability to showcase the talent of these young students across southeast and south central Missouri,” said Smith. The winner of the Eighth Congressional District Art Contest will receive free airfare for two individuals to attend a national recognition Art Competition Winners - Kayla McBride and Faith Hohlweg, both of Bakersfield High reception in Washington, School are pictured above with Congressman Jason Smith.

Liberty High School Senior Daylan Quinn recently ran a 1:53.5 half mile. Quinn is a four-time state champion in both class 2 and class 3 in track and field. In 2014, class 2, he won the 800m (1/2mile run) with a 1:58 and won the 3200m Run (2 mile) with a time of 9:50. In 2015, class 3, he won the 800m time of 1:55 and the 1600m Run with a time of 4:18. Recently, Quinn competed in the Kansas Relays in Law-
rence, Kansas on April 22 and 23. The Kansas Relays is the largest high school track meet in the Midwest. It features some of the best talent in the country from several states. States represented were Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Daylan ran a 1:53.58 in the 800m Run. This qualifies Daylan for the Nike track meet in St. Louis this summer. This also ranks him #1 in the state of Missouri in the 800m Run. Daylan’s times has struck interest from University of Kansas, University of Missouri Kansas City, Drury University, Southwest Baptist University, and Central Missouri State. Quinn plans on going to pharmaceutical school and becoming a pharmacist. Liberty High School is fortunate that Daylan has been such a representative to our school.

The Liberty High School Drama Club is presenting The Girl in the Mirror Friday and Saturday, May 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. in the Liberty High School Gymnasium. “Whether she lives or dies now,” a doctor explains to a teenage girl’s mother, “is largely a matter of her own will.” Thus begins the story of Susan Connors, a potential suicide victim who lies in a coma at a hospital. With the help of a character identified only as “The Speaker,” the audience is led on a jour-
ney through the young girl’s mind. We learn why she has chosen to attempt to take her own life; we are witnesses as she learns there may indeed be an alternative to death. It is a play about communication, about feelings, about sympathy, and, most importantly, about self-knowledge. The play deals with aspects of depression and suicide and discovering that how we see ourselves may be different than how others see us, but that the truth lies somewhere in between.

Southern Missouri: Taking advantage of a good thing Good news: The economy is chugging along nicely. As a result, new opportunities are sprouting up, from which many adults, no matter their age or position in life, could take advantage. But first there’s something that those living in and around Mountain View, Houston, Willow Springs, West Plains, Cabool, Licking, Birch Tree and Mountain Grove need to know. Interest rates are at histor-
ic lows. So when it comes to refinancing your home, you may find that you can land a new mortgage at a lower rate—taking some of the equity you’ve accumulated to spruce up the place, or take care of other, higher interest debt obligations. You might also find yourself in a position to make use of these low rates to shorten the term of your present home loan—an interesting thought, especially if you’re nearing retire-
Firefighter Insurance and Parole Notification Bills Advance in Senate and House This week at the Capitol, two of my priority pieces of legislation have made significant advancements. My Senate bill relating to workers’ compensation insurance premiums for volunteer firefighters was third read and passed in the Senate, and my legislation regarding parole officer standards for violation reporting moved ahead in the House committee hearing process. Senate Bill 613 would modify certain provisions of workers’ compensation agreements for volunteer firefighters across the state. This bill would allow departments to apply to the State Fire Marshal for funding grants to cover insurance premiums, giving our brave volunteer public safety servants the financial assistance and support they deserve. The men and women of Missouri’s many volunteer fire departments face grave physical danger every day as they protect our communities from life-threatening emergencies. Our state needs to be doing more to ensure these heroes are well supported should they ever come to harm during their duties. I want to thank Representative Robert Ross, R-Yukon, for his help in furthering this legislation in the Missouri House, and senators Schaefer and Wasson for co-sponsoring SB 613 with me in the Senate. Your state legislators have an inherent responsibility to better the lives of the citizens they represent, and few members of the public require our gratitude and support more than volunteer firefighters. I am very pleased that I am able to help support the men and women of Missouri’s volunteer fire departments. I am confident that this legislation will be approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by the governor for the betterment of our selfless civil servants. Senate Bill 681 is the second piece of legislation I would like to update you on this week. This bill would require a probation officer to notify the prosecutor if he or she has probable cause to believe a probationer has violated a condition of their probation. The purpose of this bill is simply to bring certain antiquated practices in the state’s probation system up to more modern standards. This issue was brought to my attention by Ozark Coun-
ty Sherriff Darrin Reed and Prosecuting Attorney Tom Kline, who both recognized a need for an efficiency update within the system. By requiring officers to proactively notify prosecutors about violations, our probations and parole operations can run much more smoothly. In today’s world where we have instant access to records and documents through digital technologies, some more traditional methods of judiciary practice are becoming outmoded. Targeted reforms like this bill work together to improve the efficiency of the system as a whole. Senate Bill 681 will continue to work through the committee hearing process before returning to the Senate for debate and final passage. 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) 7511882.
ment. And if you’re a first-time buyer looking to profit from these attractive possibilities, but find your cash position tight, help might be on the way. Today, many banks are offering lower down payments on home mortgages— creating conventional loans that can bring you into a more affordable position and closer to having the keys to a home you can call your own. With our world ever-changing, bankers with know-how realize that though the Internet makes it possible for potential borrowers to do their own research, nothing beats a no-pressure face-to-face talk with a mortgage loan specialist. Spending time across the table from someone who has been at this kind of work for decades is tough to beat. Checking the lay of the land online can provide some of what you need, but usually falls short of having all the answers. “While it’s important to do your homework, there’s no replacement for the free advice your local banker can provide,” Gayela Linton, Landmark Bank real estate lending manager, said. “Their knowledge of the local real estate market and mortgage options has the potential to save consumers significant money over the term of the loan. This is a rare and exciting time in the mortgage industry, and it would be a wise decision for both existing home owners and prospective buyers to evaluate their options and get the answers they need before rates go back up,” she added. To sum up—if you’re a home owner thinking about refinancing, are a first-time buyer, or someone with a growing family looking to
AG Koster warns MO consumers to be aware of IRS scam calls The Attorney General’s Office continues to receive complaints involving individuals impersonating employees of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), even after the tax deadline passed, and today Attorney General Koster is urging Missourians not to fall for the scam. According to complaints filed with the Attorney General’s Office, the callers fraudulently claim to be with the IRS and claim the consumer owes a tax debt to the IRS or has an outstanding warrant against him. The caller threatens that the IRS is going to file a lawsuit against the consumer if they don’t pay the alleged debt immediately, or that federal officials will be outside the consumer’s door within 24 hours. These calls are scam calls, and consumers should not provide any information to these callers. The Attorney General’s Office received 35 calls last week alone on the IRS scam. This is the most recent iteration of debt-collection scams that have been prevalent in recent years. Scammers continually invent new techniques to try to fool people into giving out personal financial information or social security numbers. Koster offers Missouri consumers the following tips
to protect themselves: • Consumers should never give out personal or financial information over the phone, especially when you do not know who the person is. • The IRS will not call and demand immediate payment. The IRS, and other legitimate government agencies, will first send correspondence or a bill in the mail. • The IRS will not demand that you pay outstanding taxes in a particular way, for example, by prepaid debit card. • The scammers use caller-ID spoofing to falsify the information and disguise their identity. The calls often feature a 202 area code, making it appear as though the call is originating from Washington D.C., but they may really be calling from elsewhere in the U.S., or even overseas. • The IRS and other legitimate government agencies will not exert high-pressure tactics to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency. If you receive a call you believe to be a scam, contact the Missouri Attorney General’s Office No-Call Hotline at 866-Buzzoff (866289-9633) or file a complaint online at https://ago.mo.gov/ app/nocallcomplaint.

May is Mental Health Month When mental illnesses or disorders are talked about, the language typically used to describe them tends to be clinical and impersonal. These words, while useful for doctors or clinicians, often don’t do justice to what life with a mental illness feels like. That is why this year’s theme for May is Mental Health Month – Life with a Mental Illness – is a call to action to share what life with a mental illness feels like to someone going through it.

TAKE A TRIP back in time on May 7 when The Hot Club of San Francisco presents “Cinema Vivant” at 7 p.m. at the West Plains Civic Center theater. Dress up in your favorite flapper outfits and relive the Roaring 20s as this internationally-acclaimed jazz band performs live while some of the earliest silent films of the 1900s are shown on the big screen. (Photo courtesy of Lenny Gonzalez)
Dust off your vintage dresses and fedoras and relive the excitement and carefree attitude of the Roaring 20s when world famous jazz band The Hot Club of San Francisco brings “Cinema Vivant” to the West Plains Civic Center stage at 7 p.m. May 7. Hosted by the University/Community Programs (U/CP) Department at Missouri State University-West Plains, this special event will pair authentic silent movies from the early 1900s with live music from this internationally-acclaimed band, and it will be capped off with a swinging after-party, complete with Prohibition-era “mocktails” and hors d’oeuvres straight out of the pages of an antique cookbook. Tickets are $10 each and available at the civic center box office at 110 St. Louis St., or by calling 417-2568087. University students with a BearPass ID will be admitted free. The event will take area residents back in time to a bygone era as they experience some of the very first black and white silent movies – often comedic or romantic – on the big screen with live music accompaniment, organizers said. “Imagine yourself in the idyllic French countryside in the 1930s. Sometime before dark, a gypsy caravan sets up camp in a field outside of town, luring the locals out for an evening’s fun. The wanderers travel with a film projector, pointing it at the side of a barn. As the images flicker to life beneath the stars, gypsy musicians play their guitars and fiddles, match-
ing every movement on the screen with characteristic virtuosity, passion and humor,” according to a description from the band’s repping agency, Baylin Artists Management. Describing ‘Cinema Vivant’ as “a celebration of imagination and innovation,” the band’s management team explained, “Before World War I, European filmmaker Ladislaw Starewicz pioneered stop-action animation, creating a never-before-seen movie experience. A gifted storyteller who used the new medium of animation to illuminate his fantastic imaginings of the secret lives of ordinary objects, Starewicz has become an obscure cult hero. Two Starewicz films are featured in ‘Cinema Vivant,’ ‘The Cameraman’s Revenge,’ a charming piece about the marital troubles of beetles, and ‘The Mascot,’ an adventure story about lost boys.” A third silent filmn, “There It Is” by legendary 1920s American filmmaker Charley Bowers, also will be shown. This recently rediscovered film by Bowers is a whimsical comedy about a mysterious occurrence investigated by Scotland Yard. “We’ve set up a special
‘event’ page for this on our U/CP Facebook page, ‘Missouri State University-West Plains University/ Community Programs.’ We’d love to see locals post pictures of their grandparents and relatives from the 1920s there to help us all get ready for this fun night,” said Jennifer Moore, coordinator of U/CP’s theater and event programming. Everyone is encouraged to grab a group of friends, a date, or the whole family and enjoy this unforgettable experience. Period dress from the 1920s is optional. “Part of the fun is that we’re encouraging attendees to go all out with their 1920s dresses, hats and hair accessories,” Moore said. “It was such a remarkable era, and film was a big part of that. You’ll be able to experience an ‘evening out’ like your grandparents or great-grandparents did.” For more information about The Hot Club of San Francisco and ‘Cinema Vivant,’ visit http://www. baylinartists.com/artist/ hot_club_of_san_francisco/.

Gear up for Motorcycle Awareness Month in May
Warm spring weather has arrived, and motorcyclists are eager to hit the road. As they tune their engines and prepare for numerous road trips to come, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety wants to remind motorists and motorcyclists alike to “Watch for Motorcycles” in order to help prevent motorcycle crashes, deaths and injuries on Missouri roadways. “Approximately 11 percent of Missouri traffic fatalities in 2015 involved a motorcycle, with 92 motorcyclist lives lost” said Bill Whitfield, executive committee chair of the coalition. “We want to see that number decrease this year by reminding all drivers to follow basic safety rules and never drive distracted or impaired.” The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers the following tips to drivers on how to prevent a fatal crash with a motorcycle: - Allow the motorcycle the full width of a lane at all times. - Always signal when changing lanes or merging with traffic. - Check all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections. - Never drive distracted or impaired. Motorcyclists must also take precautions to remain safe on the road. Motorcyclists can increase their safety by following these steps: - Wear a DOT-compliant helmet and other protective gear. - Obey all traffic laws and be properly licensed and trained. - Wear brightly colored clothes and reflective tape to increase visibility. - Ride in the middle of the lane where you will be more visible to drivers. - Never ride distracted or impaired. - Anticipate the moves of other drivers and be extra cautious of road conditions and debris. Motorcycle experts recommend motorcyclists also complete some type of training before getting out on the road. There are 31 training locations in Missouri. You can find the one nearest you at www.mmsp.org. For more information, visit www.saveMOlives.com or Facebook and Twitter at Save MO Lives. Arrive Alive.

Rabies
in wild animals. Rabies is found naturally in Missouri, occurring primarily in bats and skunks, although other animals are also found to be rabid each year, including domestic species such as dogs, cats, horses, and cattle. “Vaccination of cats and dogs is crucial, since vaccinated pets are a protective barrier between the people who own and interact with them and rabid wild animals with which the pets might have contact. Dogs and cats whose owners consider them to be “indoor animals” should also be vaccinated because these pets often have exposures to other animals, either by the dog or cat being unintentionally released to the outdoors, or by wild animals such as bats getting into the house,” Frazier stated. Vaccinations must be administered by a licensed veterinarian in order to be recognized as a valid vaccination and there is no post exposure treatment available for animals as there is for humans. Management of Pets Bitten by a Rabid Animal Pet owners should be aware that if their dog or cat does not have a current rabies vaccination from a licensed veterinarian and is exposed to a rabid animal, the pet will either have to be euthanized or quarantined for six months at the owner’s expense, at an approved vet facility. In contrast, a dog or cat that is currently vaccinated and is exposed to a rabid animal

needs only a rabies booster shot followed by a 45-day home quarantine. Domestic animals are protected against rabies 28 days AFTER receiving their initial rabies vaccination. Community Prevention Rabies is 100% preventable • Ensure dogs, cats and ferrets are up-to-date on rabies vaccinations. Vaccinations are also available for horses, cattle, and sheep. The effectiveness of animal vaccines is the main reason for the nationwide decline in rabies cases among people and domestic animals. • Keep pets under control; do not allow them to run loose. • Avoid contact with stray pets and wild animals; do not keep wild animals or wild animal crosses as pets. • Report wild animals exhibiting unusual behavior or stray pets to animal control officials. • Personal pets should not be handled without protection directly after being exposed to wildlife due to the potential for carrying residual saliva from the infected animal. The Howell County Health Department encourages all residents with dogs and cats as pets to keep them current on yearly rabies vaccines to protect them as well as you. Additional information about rabies is available by calling the Environmental Public Health Section at the Howell County Health Department at 417-256-7078.

Board accepts numerous resignations, letters of retirement Contracts, insurance, resignations and retirements took center stage during the Mtn. View-Birch Tree R-III School District board meeting held on Thursday, April 21 at the Liberty Middle School. The meeting began with a special meeting at 6 p.m. as Kent Smith and Earl Renegar, both incumbents, were sworn in. The district did not have an election in early April because no person filed against the two incumbents. Shortly after the two were sworn in, Steve Vines was voted as Board President, Keith Tharp was voted as Board Vice-President, Rhonda Henry was voted as Board Secretary and Treasurer and Shelly Mantel was voted as Board Delegate. The regular meeting began at 6:15 p.m. with the Consent Agenda being approved with a motion from Keith Tharp, seconded by Jennifer Foster. The consent agenda consisted of approval of the minutes from the March 17, 2016 board meeting with a correction to Shelly Mantel instead of Shelly Renegar on page 6 in the draft of the board minutes; approval of payment of bills in the amount of $385,059.98 and approval of the monthly administrative/principal reports. The agenda for the board meeting was then adopted with a motion made by Jennifer Foster and seconded by Beverly Denton. The new business for the meeting consisted of approval of payments to people related to board members. Those included a
payment to Lanna Tharp in the amount of $252.62 for travel reimbursement; payment to Godfather’s Pizza in the amount of $155.88 for middle school track and junior class concessions and payment to Smith Flooring in the amount of $1,263.06 for boiler wood chips. Superintendent Dr. Don Christensen presented the March 2016 financial report with a balance in all funds of $4,790,250. During this meeting the May 2016 board meeting was moved to Thursday, May 19 at 6 p.m. The district decided to keep the swim team for the 2016-2017 school year as no problems with the self-funded, school sponsored team were reported this past year and both boys and girls team placed well throughout the season. The motion for approval was made from Keith Tharp and seconded by Jennifer Foster. Pepsi MidAmerica proposed a ten-year contract of service to the Mtn. ViewBirch Tree School District. In this proposal the company’s proposed terms included a $50,000 up-front payment to the district for improvements to the athletic complex as well as a $6,500 per year payment to the district during the ten-year contract. The price levels would also remain the same as the district’s current price levels. The board approved this contact with a motion from Keith Tharp and seconded by Beverly Denton. Dr. Christensen stated that the $50,000 will be specifically earmarked for
the athletic complex. “Those funds will be set aside in a special account to be used for improvements at the athletic complex as voted upon by the board.” The MET Health Insurance was discussed and the board approved to keep the provider for the 2016-2017 school year. The district’s health insurance received a “no increase” meaning everything will remain constant for the next year. With this approval the district will continue to have a fullpaid health insurance option and offer the same plans at the same prices that were offered during this school year. The motion was made by Beverly Denton and seconded by Jennifer Foster. Dr. Christensen then spoke about budget considerations the board needs to discuss including lighting at the football field, expanded and/or new seating at the football field, fixing the high school ceiling, adding air conditioning to the high school gym, adding air conditioning to the high school cafeteria, purchasing a new bus, purchasing a school van, purchasing a school car and purchasing Ipad labs. Dr. Christensen stated that he would put together comprehensive list and once it is compiled it will be prioritized by the board. This will allow the district to work towards this goal over the next few years. The board accepted several resignations and retirement letters during the closed session of the meet-
ing. Resignations that were accepted by the board included Debra Tinsley, BTE Custodian; Betsy Coatney, BTE Nurse; Jenifer Hoffman, BTE Teacher; Mark Conway, LHS Teacher; Rebecca Conway, LHS Teacher; Rob Brown, LHS Teacher and Joey Spittler, MVE Teacher.

LMS students receive Truman Readers Award
Truman Readers Award - The Missouri Association of School Librarians (MASL) chooses twelve books each year designated as the Missouri Truman Readers Award nominee books. The books are selected according to the following guidelines: Books should interest early teens in grades six through eight; Books should be written by an author living in the United States; Books should be of literary value which may enrich early teens’ personal lives; Books should be published two years prior to nomination on a Master List of 12 nominees (currently 2015); Some consideration should be given to genre diversity, gender representation, range of reading level, racial diversity, and diversity of social, political, economic, and religious viewpoints. These nominee books are purchased by the Liberty Middle School Library and introduced to the students. Students are challenged to read at least four of the books and score at least 80% on the AR quizzes over the books. Students who accomplish this task are eligible to vote in the state wide voting to select the winning book for the year. This achievement is then celebrated with a pizza party at which the students learn the state’s voting results. This year eight students in grades 6-8 rose to the challenge. They are shown above with LMS Librarian, Melody Ipock. Pictured above, Kathy Womack (6th), Brynne Spurgin (7th), Emaree Marriott (8th), Kennedy Cooley (8th), Kinley Richards (8th), Kyle Renshaw (8th), Belle Smith (8th), Taylor Tate (6th) and Abbie Goff (6th).

Annual OMC Superhero Fun Run draws 482 participants, event raises over $10,000 Choosing an Appropriate Walking Cane Dear Savvy Senior, I have severe arthritis in my knee and could use a walking cane to help me get around. Is there anything I should know about canes before I buy one? Limping Linda Dear Linda, When it comes to choosing a cane for balance and support most people don’t give it much thought, but they should. Walking canes come in hundreds of different styles, shapes and sizes today, so you need to take into account your needs and preferences to ensure you choose one that’s appropriate for you. Here are some tips that can help. Types of Canes The first thing you need to consider is how much support you need. That will help you determine the kind of cane you choose. The three basic types of canes you’ll have to choose from include: 1. Straight canes: These are basic, single point canes that typically incorporate a rounded “crook” handle or “L-shaped” ergonomic handle. Usually made of lightweight aluminum or wood, most of the aluminum models are adjustable in height and some even fold up. 2. Offset-handle canes: These also are single point straight canes, but come with a swan neck curve in the upper part of the shaft that puts the user’s weight directly over the cane tip for added stability. These canes are typically aluminum, adjustable-height and come with a flat, soft grip handle that’s easy on the hands. Both straight canes and offset-handle canes are best suited for people who have a slight walking impairment. 3. Quad canes: Also called broad based canes, these work best for people who need maximum weight bearing and support. Quad canes comes with four separate tips (some have three tips) at the base, they usually have an offset flat handle, and can remain standing when you let go of it which is very convenient. Fitting the Cane Once you decide on the type of cane, you need to make sure it fits. Stand up with your arms hanging straight down at your side. The top of the cane should line up with the crease in your wrist, so your arm is slightly bent at the elbow when you grip the cane. The cane should also have a rubber tip at the bottom to prevent slipping. A worn or torn rubber tip is dangerous, so check the tip frequently to ensure it’s in good condition and replace it when necessary. Rubber tips come in different sizes depending on the shaft diameter, and can usually be purchased in multipacks at your local pharmacy. The grip is also very important, so choose one that’s ergonomically designed, or one that has a molded rubber or foam grip that’s comfortable to hold on to. And if you travel much, consider getting a folding cane that can be packed or stored away easily. How to Use When using a cane, it should always be held in the hand opposite of the leg that needs support. For example, if your knee pain is on your left side, you should use the cane in your right hand. The cane should then move forward as you step forward with the bad leg. If you have to go up stairs, you should lead with the good leg. And when you go down stairs, you should put your cane on the step first and then step down with your bad leg. The Mayo Clinic offers a slide show at mayoclinic. com/health/canes/HA00064 that will show you how to choose and use a cane. It’s also a smart idea to work with a physical therapist. Where to Buy You can buy canes at drugstores, discount retailers, medical supply stores and online, usually between $10 and $50. You’ll also be happy to know that Medicare covers canes with a written prescription from a physician. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Jefferson City angler catches state-record river redhorse The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that Dan Schmitz of Jefferson City became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he hooked a river redhorse on Tavern Creek using a rod and reel. The new “pole and line” record river redhorse caught by Schmitz on April 15 weighed 9-pounds, 13-ounces. It broke the previous state-record pole-and-line river redhorse of 9-pound, 10-ounces caught on the Osage River in 2006. Schmitz was using worms when he caught the fish. MDC staff verified the record-weight fish using a certified scale in Jefferson City. “I fought the fish for about ten minutes before I got it to the bank,” said Schmitz. “I knew the fish was pretty
The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koontz of the National Park Service. The report shows $16.9 billion of direct spending by 307.2 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 295,000 jobs nationally; 252,000 of those jobs are found in these gateway communities. The cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy was $32 billion. According to the 2015 report, most park visitor spending was for lodging (31.1 percent) followed by food and beverages (20.2 percent), gas and oil (11.8 percent), admissions and fees (10.2 percent) and souvenirs and other expenses (9.8 percent).

big, but I didn’t know it was a state record until talking to MDC. I really can’t believe I caught a fish like this! I’m not a master angler. I’m just a hobby fisherman who loves to fish. I’m super excited to have the honor to be a state-record holder.” River redhorse fish are a part of the sucker family. They are a moderately chubby, coarse-scaled fish with a dorsal fin containing 12 or 13 rays. These fish are can be found mostly throughout the Ozarks. Schmitz’s fish also beats the current world record. While the river redhorse does get much larger, the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) only recognizes fish taken by pole and line. “Larger river redhorses are usually taken by gigging and do not qualify for the IGFA world record,” MDC Fisheries Programs Specialist
Andrew Branson said. “Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish and this new unique record clearly shows why. This fish could be the largest river redhorse ever taken with a pole and line.” Schmitz added it’s hard to believe he may be a world-record holder. “I just can’t believe it! One day I’m fishing for fun and the next I could be a world-record holder,” he said. “I’m still in disbelief.” Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl.

Conservation Commission plants tree to celebrate Arbor Day MDC encourages people to plant native trees and practice proper tree care The Missouri Conservation Commission observed National Arbor Day on Friday, April 29, by planting a tree with several local young conservationists at the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) headquarters in Jefferson City. They planted a native yellowwood. This medium-sized tree attracts a variety of pollinators with its 10-14 inch-long clusters of spring-blooming flowers. “Missouri’s trees and forests are truly a treasure, making our communities better places
to live, work and play,” said Commission Chair Marilynn Bradford. “The Conservation Commission encourages everyone to get outdoors, take advantage of the beautiful spring weather, and plant some trees.” Missouri Arbor Day is celebrated on the first Friday of April and National Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday of the month. Both events bookend a monthlong celebration of trees and forests in communities all over the state. Trees work for Missouri by producing oxygen, cleaning water,
and delivering benefits that shape people’s daily lives. Missourians can take advantage of all the ways trees work by selecting native trees to plant and practicing proper tree care. Get information from MDC on backyard tree care – including types of trees for urban and other landscapes, selecting the right tree for the right place, planting tips, watering and pruning info, and more -- from the Department’s website at mdc.mo.gov/your-property/your-trees-andwoods/backyard-treecare.
