West Plains Police Dept.
Search continues for suspects in raffle ticket scam On May 20, officers with the West Plains Police Department were dispatched to check on a suspicious couple selling raffle tickets at a local shopping center. The store clerk said that a male came in and told an elaborate story about a teacher with cancer. The raffle was supposed to be for a Mizzou quilt and all the money raised was to help pay medical bills for the teacher. When the officer arrived on scene, he found the suspects had gotten into a Blue Pontiac G6, bearing Alabama license 0855AG6. The suspects fled the scene and managed to elude officers who had given chase. On May 21, the Pontiac G6 was found abandoned just south of West Plains. A check
of the VIN showed it had been stolen from a car dealership in Nauvoo, Alabama. During a search of the vehicle items belonging to Paul Ray Watts and Lawanda Marie Reese, were located inside. There was also a bank bag containing dozens of raffle tickets with names and phone numbers on them. Officers believe that Watts and Reese sold raffle tickets while they traveled from town to town, as officers have recovered raffle tickets with phone numbers from Alabama to as far west as Joplin. Watts is currently wanted by the Alabama Department of Probation and Parole with full US extradition. Reese is out on bond from a charge of Hindering Prosecution in Al-

Tent city, an established area for the athletes to seek shelter from the sun and/or rain, turned into a disaster area. Liberty’s tent was completely demolished because of the storms Thursday night and Friday afternoon. Despite in inclement weather, it turned out to be a great weekend for several of Liberty’s athletes. As in any championship setting, there were many highs and lows during the two day event.

by Congressman Jason Smith - Missouri’s 8th District Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer. The temperatures are rising, school is winding down for many and the smell of backyard barbecues as the sun goes down is starting to fill the air. Memorial Day is also one of my favorite times to drive around our district and see so many American flags placed on houses, businesses, and in yards. In a united display of patriotism it is a symbol of how much we love our country. Many of us look at this long weekend as a chance to slow down, get together with family and friends, and sit outside to enjoy what we hope is beautiful Missouri weather. However, it is also important we honor and remember the real purpose for this holiday and pay tribute to the men and women who paid the ultimate price fighting for the freedoms and way of life we often take for granted. We were reminded of this sacrifice recently when World War II soldier Herbert John Hoard of DeSoto, Missouri was finally given a proper burial some 74 years after he lost his life during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Mr. Hoard’s was a moving story of a young man, a member of our greatest generation, who answered the call to serve his country, but never returned home. Like Mr. Hoard, our community is home to more than 60,000 veterans and assisting those veterans navigate an often times confusing and unresponsive VA network accounts for roughly half of all the casework assistance my office provides each year. This year, we also held the first ever Veterans Summits here in southeast and south central Missouri which provided an opportunity for our veteran neighbors to See Smith on Page 5

MV Garden Club holds dedication for two past members
Dedications - The Mtn. View Garden Club dedicated trees in memory of two of their members who passed away. The dedication was held on Wednesday, May 25. Pictured at left is the dedication of Carol Detwiler’s tree, an October Glory Maple, at Veteran’s Park. Detwiler joined the club in 2009. Carol joined the MV Garden Club in 2009. Carol was very active in the club, contributing her energy, enthusiasm and gardening knowledge to all the meetings and projects. One of her passions was our Youth Program and was instrumental in getting it started at the MV Elementary School where we now have a ‘KINDER GARDEN” . The Garden Club works with the teachers and Kindergartners to educate them about the flowers and vegetables they plant and the birds and butterflies that they attract. Carol had a way with the computer that was amazing. Every year on our birthdays we would each receive a card that Carol had designed specifically for us. They were absolutely delightful. Over the years she updated most of our Garden Club forms and made the most spectacular brochures and handouts for our many events. The Garden Clubs current Logo was designed by Carol as well. At home, Carol was a passionate gardener, she loved to plant a seed and watch it grow. She also enjoyed the birds that her many feeders brought into her garden. Pictured at right is the dedication of Myrtle Glass’s tree, a Burr Oak at the Riparian Buffer area new Jam Up Creek. Myrtle joined the Garden Club in 1979, a member for an amazing 30 years. Myrtle was a big part of every aspect of the Club, imparting her humor, knowledge and wisdom with all those who loved gardening . Myrtle was a strong supporter of the Garden Club organization, attending every District meeting and annual State Convention. One of her great loves, one she certainly excelled at, was flower design. At the 2003 Flower Show she took ALL awards. For many years she provided weekly flower arrangements for the First Baptist Church. Myrtles garden was truly her pride and joy, every Garden Club member has some plant in their yard that came from her garden. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)

Upcoming Events
Beauty and the Beast: A Faerie Tale at the Star Theater Rumors have surfaced of Rascals running amok at the Star Theater in Willow Springs. There have also been sightings of other worldly creatures known as faeries. Rascals and faeries? The question must be asked, to what end would such beings have reason to take up residence in the local theater house on Main Street? The answer is clear, the Star Dramatic Company is active once again with their newest production, “Beauty and the Beast: A Faerie Tale.” Written and directed by Kristi Cunningham, the tale includes a cast of eighteen boasting of an unsuspecting family, a kind hearted beast, an evil faerie queen, some rascally Rascals, a slick business manager, and a couple of castle guards. And did we mention the sprightly faeries? The faeries of the enchanted wood who, with a flick of their wrists and a smattering of faerie dust can transport even the most unsuspecting audience to a magical world? It is a must see production and it is on its way to the Star Theater in June. Performances are set for June 10–12 and 17–19 with Friday and Saturday performances at 7 p.m. and Sunday performances at 2 p.m. Ticket prices will be $6 for adults and $4 for students 12 and under. There is no time like the present to plan for the future. Mark your calendars now and prepare to enter the world of faeries and dreams with the cast of “Beauty and the Beast: A Faerie Tale.”

Looking Back Through the eyes of the Standard News Standard News Archive - Thursday, November 9, 1944 - An Eighth Air Force Bomber Station, England-First Lieutenant Hugh S. Lane, 29 of Montier, Mo., has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for "extraordinary achievement" during many aerial blows against Nazi industrial and military installations as pilot of the Eighth Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress "Lady Jeanette." Lt. Lane, who also has received the Air Medal and three Oak Leaf Clusters, is a member of the Third Bombardment Division, cited by the president for its now historic Englang-Africa shuttle bombing of Messerschmitt aircraft plants at Regensburg, Germany. The Montier pilot has flown on AAF bombing assaults against targets in such German cities as Berlin, Bremen, Ludwigshaven, Munich and Regensburg. "Each target presented its own type of enemy opposition," he said. "At times, the Germans would send up every type of plane listed in the catalogue and those planes were different in the skies over Germany. "The flak," continued Lt. Lane, "was our greatest discomfort. There is no way to shoot down those seemingly harmless black puffs of smoke that reach up to knock you out of the skies." "On one occasion," stated Lt. Lane, "while over the target, Nazi supply dumps in Paris, France, we ran into heavy flak barrage. Two of our engines were knocked out, but we came back with the formation, tagging along like a lame duck." The son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Lane of Montier, he was a warehouse superintendent for John Deere and Company in Moline, Mo., before entering the AAF in August 1941.

MV Garden Club Bed, Yard of the Month
Speaking Out Against Federal Overreach
This week I joined more than 100 of my fellow Missouri lawmakers in voicing opposition to the recent directive regarding transgender bathroom access handed down from the Obama administration. The unconstitutional mandate, which came in the form of a “Dear Colleague” letter issued through the departments of Education and Justice earlier this month, undermines the inherent rights of state governments and the American people. I have signed on in support of a letter Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder has written and sent to the president’s office. The letter illustrates Missouri’s opposition to the decree and calls for the president to rescind the mandate. The federal government has no business in changing policies that affect local school districts in individual communities around the country. This issue, and others like it, should be discussed and handled at the state and local level. The executive office has even gone so far as to threaten to cut federal funding for any schools found in noncompliance with the president’s demands. This unconstitutional, and frankly deplorable, bully tactic used by the president is an attempt to rewrite the law and cannot be tolerated. Missouri needs to stand with the multiple other states around the country that have spoken out against the directive and have filed suit against the president. If we as a state allow this action to stand, we set a precedent of letting the federal government abuse its power and overshadow the state and local systems of governance. I suggest you contact your U.S. senators, representatives and the office of the president to let your voice be heard on this issue. This is a slippery slope the Obama administration has just set us on – let’s make sure we stand up against this problem before it worsens. 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.

This event was so rewarding because it allowed me to talk with veterans and hear first-hand the issues they are facing and learn how our office can better serve them. I am proud and humbled that this year alone my office helped a veteran in Perryville receive over $100,000 in owed back pay and that we were able to honor another southeast Missourian veteran with multiple commendation medals he rightfully earned. Of course all of this also comes at a time when the VA Secretary compared wait times at VA hospitals to wait times for rides at Disney theme parks.

Shirley Irene DeFries Cox was born on June 12, 1930 in Del Rey, IL to Walter and Irene Lyon DeFries. She was a special delivery, brought into the world by her paternal grandfather who was a doctor. After spending the past two months under continuous, back and forth hospital and nursing home care, she departed this life on May 24, 2016 at Mountain View Healthcare in Mountain View, MO. She was just 19 days shy of celebrating her 86th birthday. Shirley grew up on a farm. She attended first grade in a one room school house and recalled finishing her work quickly so she could listen to the lessons being taught to the older kids. She graduated from Onarga High School in 1948 and attended college in Normal, IL for one year. After a first date on Christmas night and sharing a mutual love for horses, she knew she’d met her soulmate. On November 6, 1949, Shirley was united in marriage to William (Bill) Cox. While living in Illinois, Shirley gave birth to a daughter, Pamela, and a son, Kevin. The young family raised Quarter horses and German Shepherds. Desiring a change of pace and scenery, the couple then bought and moved to their farm near Winona, MO where Shirley resided for the past 58 years. Two more children were born, a daughter Tracy, and a son, Monty Clay. Shirley was a stay-at-
home mom and helpmate to her husband. Then, in the late 60’s, she worked the night shift at the TV Factory in Eminence, MO. In the early 70’s, Shirley and her husband Bill started and served as club and project leaders for the Winona Wranglers 4-H Club. She belonged to the Extension Homemakers group for many years. Shirley also enjoyed raising St. Bernard dogs, which were sold into many states. In the early 80’s Shirley worked as the Director of the Winona Sr. Citizens Center, a job that she enjoyed immensely. She then decided to finish her college degree and received a BSE in 1985 from Southwest MO State University. During the late 80’s and early 90’s, Shirley traveled with her husband and children showing several breeds of sheep. She was proud of the many championship honors they received. In 1986 Shirley began her dedicated teaching career for the Winona R-3 School district. She taught kindergarten and first grade for eleven years until a disabling stroke forced her to retire. After her stroke Shirley was fortunate to have her wonderful husband care for her. The couple made numerous trips to visit kids and grandkids. They were married for 56 years when Bill passed away in 2006. Her son Monty then took over the caretaker responsibilities with assistance from home healthcare workers.
During her later years Shirley enjoyed talking on the phone with family and friends, watching her favorite T.V. shows, and visiting with her kind home health caretakers. Shirley is survived by her four children: Pam Williams and husband Sam of Lonedell, MO; Kevin Cox of Winona, MO; Tracy Brecheisen and husband Galen of Hugoton, KS; and Monty Clay Cox of Winona, MO. She leaves behind ten grandchildren: Kasey Cox of Denver, CO; Annie Bierman and husband Chris of Gerald, MO; Kody Cox and wife Crystal of Ellsinore, MO; Beau Williams of Boston, MA; Kristina Cox of Denver, CO; Logan Brecheisen of Manhattan, KS; Kristy Cox-Williams and boyfriend Dustin Laur of Lonedell, MO; and Landon, Lacey, and Laramie Brecheisen of Hugoton, KS. Shirley’s two great-grandchildren are Ashton and Quentin Bierman of Gerald, MO. During her final days she was thrilled to find out that another great grandchild was on the way, as her grandson Kody and wife are expecting their first baby. Her only brother, Dr. John C. DeFries and wife Marge of Boulder, CO, also survives her. Shirley will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her. Cremation has taken place under the direction of Yarber Mortuary of Mountain View, MO, and no services are planned.

Red Cross offers classes during June Simple Smartphones for Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some smartphones that are specifically designed for seniors? My 75-year-old mother is interested in upgrading from a basic cellphone to a smartphone, but will need one that’s very easy to operate. Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring, I wrote about this topic just last year, but in the fast changing world of personal technology devices, there’s a new crop of simplified smartphones that have recently hit the market that are better than ever for tech-shy seniors. Here are my three top options. Doro 824 SmartEasy: Offered by Consumer Cellular, the new Doro 824 SmartEasy is one of the best, simplified smartphones available today. It starts with a bright, 5-inch high-resolution touch screen display that offers large icons and text, and customizable volume settings. Its simplified design pairs down the options, providing uncluttered, easy access to key contacts and frequently used features – such as the phone, text messages, the camera email and the Internet – right from the home screen. And, it provides help as you go along from the built-in coach. It also offers a unique pre-installed My Doro Manager app that can also be downloaded by family or friends. This app provides a number of tutorials showing your mom how to enjoy her phone, and gives her trusted contacts the remote ability to help manage and adjust her Doro smartphone from their smartphone no matter where they are. And for added convenience and safety, the Doro 824 provides three physical buttons on the front of the phone for quick, one-touch access to the home screen, recently used applications, and a back button that returns to the previous screen. And an “Emergency Alert” button on the back of the phone that will automatically dial one, predetermined contact in the event of an emergency. The Doro 824 is sold online at ConsumerCellular.com, over the phone at 888-532-5366, or at any Target or Sears store for $200 with no contract. Jitterbug Smart: Offered by GreatCall wireless, the new 4th generation Jitterbug Smart is much bigger than previous GreatCall smartphones. This phone is actually an Alcatel smartphone that’s been rebranded and loaded with GreatCall’s simplified user interface software. It has a big, bright 5.5-inch high-definition touch screen, and a simple single-list menu on the home page that provides easy access to only frequently used features, along with onetouch access to contacts and other apps. It also provides convenient voice typing for emails and texts, and offers a variety of optional health and safety features, like MedCoach, that sends medication and prescription refill reminders. Urgent Care, which provides unlimited access to registered nurses and doctors to answer health questions. And a 5Star medical-alert service that lets you speak to a live emergency-alert agent around the clock.

Importance of speaking up and sharing what mental illness feels like, free screenings in May 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 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. The 2015 theme for Mental Health Month was B4Stage4. This theme helped individuals understand that when you address mental health symptoms before Stage 4, people can often recover quickly, and live full and productive lives. In 2016, we are encouraging individuals to give
voice to what it really means to live at stages 1, 2, 3 and 4 of mental illness. Life with a Mental Illness is meant to help remove the shame and stigma of speaking out, so that more people can be comfortable coming out of the shadows and seeking the help they need. “Mental illnesses are common and treatable, and help is available. We need to speak up early – before Stage 4 – and in real, relatable terms so that people do not feel isolated and alone,” said Richard McGee, Director of OMC Behavioral Healthcare. “Sharing is the key to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illnesses and to showing others that they are not alone in their feelings and their symptoms.” This Mental Health Month, we are encouraging people to speak up about
how it feels to live with a mental illness by tagging social media posts with #mentalillnessfeelslike. Posting with our hashtag is a way to speak up, to share your point of view with people who may be struggling to explain what they are going through – and help others figure out if they too are showing signs of mental illness. Mental Health America has also developed a series of fact sheets available on its website (www.mentalhealthamerica.net/may) on realizing the critical importance of addressing mental health early, recognizing the risk factors and signs of mental illness, understanding what mental illness is and isn’t, and how and where to get help when needed. Research shows that by ignoring symptoms, we lose ten years in which we
could intervene in order to change people’s lives for the better. Speaking out about what mental illness feels like can encourage others to recognize symptoms early on in the disease process, and empower individuals to be agents in their own recovery. OMC Behavioral Healthcare is offering free screenings in May in West Plains at the OMC Parkway Center. Community members may walk in between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday thru Friday. No appointment is needed. Screenings for depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, and substance abuse are offered. For more information about OMC Behavioral Healthcare or Mental Health Month free screenings, call 417-257-6762. See what others are saying at: mentalhealthamerica. net/feelslike.

MDC sets upcoming migratory game bird and waterfowl seasons At its April 29 meeting, the Missouri Conservation Commission approved recommendations on hunting seasons and limits from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) for the upcoming 2016 migratory game bird season and 2016-2017 waterfowl season. The approved recommendations include 20 additional days for dove hunting, a 60-day season for ducks, and changes to season timing and length for geese. “The federal frameworks for Canada geese and white-fronted geese recently changed,” explained MDC Resources Scientist Andy Raedeke. “As a result, the Department was able to eliminate separate season dates for different species of geese and offer a single goose season that begins on Veteran’s Day and closes on Feb. 6. These changes will provide hunters with the latest seasons in modern history for Canada geese and white-fronted geese in Missouri.” The Commission also approved recommendations by MDC for the 2017-2020 duck-season-date formulas and changes to zone boundaries. 2016 MIGRATORY GAME BIRD HUNTING Mourning Doves, Eurasian Collared Doves, and WhiteWinged Doves Season: Sept. 1 through Nov. 29 (includes 20 more days) Limits: 15 daily and 45 in possession combined total for all three species Hours: One-half hour before sunrise to sunset Sora and Virginia Rails Season: Sept. 1 through Nov. 9 Limits: 25 daily and 75 in possession combined for both species Hours: One-half hour before sunrise to sunset Wilson’s (Common) Snipe Season: Sept. 1 through Dec. 16 Limits: 8 daily and 24 in possession

Experienced beekeepers can test up through the first two levels of the program if they have three or more years of experience. The “Basic Beekeeping for Beginners” class is for any individual interested in learning beekeeping. There is no minimum age for the program, although children age 12 and younger may find examination questions difficult. The course costs $61 which includes a beekeeping book.

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2017-2020 The Conservation Commission also approved MDC recommendations for the 2017-2020 duck-season-date formulas and zone boundaries. “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service gives states the opportunity to change the number and location of duck zones about every five years and we consider adjustments to season dates at the same time,” explained MDC Resources Scientist Andy Raedeke. “States can also select a continuous season or split season, which refers to a season that is open for a period of time, closes, and then reopens for a second period of time. Once selections are made, Missouri then keeps the same season-date formulas and zone boundaries for multiple years, with the next ones being for 2017 to 2020.” 2017-2020 North Zone Formula: • 60 Days: A continuous season See Seasons on Page 11
Brown's Farm & Garden Cow and Bull Auction Report for 05/25/2016 Receipts: 758 Last Week: 658 Year Ago: 505 Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 1.002.00 higher with slaughter bulls trading 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The supply consisted of 46 percent slaughter cows, 18 percent bred cows, 4 percent cow/calf pairs, 11 percent slaughter bulls, 6 percent stocker/feeder cows and 14 percent calves. Last week’s USDA Cold Storage Report reported that total pounds of beef in freezers were down 3 percent from last month and down 7 percent from a year ago. Decreasing storage and increasing demand, as grilling season kicks off, has helped to keep the slaughter market from following the trends in the feeder markets.

Feeder heifer calves and yearling steers traded 3.00-10.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply. The supply consisted of 53 percent steers 7 percent bulls and 40 percent heifers with over 41 percent of the offering weighing over 600 lbs. The monthly USDA Cattle on Feed report was released last week showing Inventory was 1 percent above a year ago with Placements in feedlots 7 percent higher. This higher placement along with feeder futures opening the week down the limit contributed to wiping out most of the gains made in cash prices the past few weeks.

The South/Middle Zone boundary in west Missouri will be moved to Hwy 54 to put Barton, Jasper, and portions of Vernon counties back into the South Zone. Hunter Input Raedeke noted that recommended changes depend primarily upon hunter input and a wide variety of hunter preferences. “Our goal is to establish
zone boundaries and season dates based on hunter input and that best accommodate various types of waterfowl hunters and their preferences,” explained Raedeke. “That includes hunters with varying levels of experience and those who hunt in different types of habitat, those who target different species, hunters who have varying physical capabilities and hunters who use different hunting styles.” Hunter input included responses from 3,515 individuals who completed MDC’s 2014 Duck Hunter Opinion Survey, comments from 538 hunters who attended one of the Department’s 14 recent waterfowl-hunter workshops, and other comments received from waterfowl hunters. He added that given the range of hunter preferences, not all hunters will be completely satisfied with season dates and zone boundaries. “Our aim is to accommodate at least a portion of most hunters’ desires,” said Raedeke. “We listen to what waterfowl hunters want and sincerely appreciate their time, effort, and input.” Learn more about the opinions of Missouri duck hunters regarding season dates and zone boundaries, as well as the rationale behind the changes that will go into effect in 2017, through the Missouri Duck Season Structure Evaluation Recommendation and Hunter Input report available online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/ hunting-trapping/species/ waterfowl/waterfowl-reports-prospects.
