Troop G to conduct sobriety checkpoint Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a sobriety checkpoint will be held in Carter County sometime in the month of July. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with area law enforcement, will conduct the checkpoint. Sobriety checkpoints are part of the Patrol’s efforts to remove careless and impaired drivers from Missouri’s highways. This enforcement operation will be conducted at a location which has been found to experience a higher than normal number of alcohol-related contacts, hazardous driving contacts, and traffic crashes. “The use of sobriety checkpoints enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways,” said Capt. Inman. “Please, never drink and drive.” 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.”

Don’t fall for IRS phone scam Scam phone calls are nothing new, but unfortunately, consumers still are sometimes tricked into believing them. The latest version can sound a little scary – the caller claims to be from the IRS. The Attorney General’s Office has received hundreds of complaints about this scam since tax season ended. According to the complaints, 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 because of debt. 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. The scammers are trying to get information from people that will help the scammer steal the person’s identity or get access to their bank accounts. There are several tips consumers should know to help See Scam on Page 8

Akers Ferry to re-open by late June Woman arrested after Akers Ferry, located at Akers on the upper Current River, is expected to re-open in late June. Akers Ferry provides a Current River crossing on State Route K in northern Shannon County. The ferry has been out of service since mid-summer 2015. At that time, issues with the underground electri-

cal system prompted closure of the ferry in order to replace and repair electrical wiring and components. Work on the electrical system led to the discovery of severe deterioration of the main support posts. It was determined that these posts would need to be replaced to allow safe operation of the ferry.
Alley Mill to close June 21-23 for pesticide treatment During a recent inspection of Alley Mill, the presence of powderpost beetles was discovered. In order to treat this infestation and protect the historic structure from future damage, Alley Mill will be closed to the public June 21-23 to allow for pesticide
application. Alley Mill was constructed in 1894 and operated as a steel roller mill for wheat and corn until the 1920s, when it came under the protection of the state park system as one See Alley on Page 8

The repairs to the electrical system have been completed. The main support posts are expected to be replaced by mid-June. In addition to work on the ferry structure, the ferry channel across the Current River needs to be cleared of gravel and debris that has accumulated during several recent floods. Due to fish spawning
season, which runs through June 15, removal of gravel cannot commence until that time. Gravel removal will be completed as soon as possible after June 15. For more information, contact park headquarters at (573)323-4236, visit the park’s Facebook page, or website at www.nps.gov/ ozar.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services confirmed two additional cases of Zika virus. One case is a male Missouri resident who had travelled to the Dominican Republic. Another is a male Massachusetts resident visiting Missouri who sought assistance from a health care provider. The Massachusetts resident had travelled to Puerto Rico. Officials from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services have been in contact with their counterparts in Massachusetts. Nearly 80 percent of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms. Typically, symptoms are mild and include fever, rash, joint soreness and/or redness of eyes. International health officials have found a connection between pregnant women contracting the virus and
a birth defect called microcephaly in their newborn infants. According to the CDC, babies with microcephaly often have smaller head sizes and brains that might not have developed properly. According to the CDC, Zika virus has the potential to be spread through a mosquito bite, through unprotected sexual contact, through blood transfusion and an infected pregnant woman can pass Zika virus to her fetus during pregnancy. There is not currently a vaccine for Zika virus. The best prevention measure is to avoid mosquito bites in areas with ongoing transmission. There have been no reported cases of Zika virus contracted from a mosquito bite in Missouri. Ways to avoid mosquito bites while outdoors include wearing See Zika on Page 8

Director Ziehmer announces resignation The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announces that Director Robert L. Ziehmer is stepping down as director effective July 15, 2016. “It is with mixed emotions that I am resigning from my position as director,” Zieh-
mer said. “My decision to leave was not easy. The many years I have spent with the Department have been both professionally challenging and rewarding. However, I am excited about continuing my conservation career through a new endeavor in
the private sector.” Ziehmer has been with MDC for over 25 years. During his last six and half years as director, he has continued to move conservation forward by forging strong statewide and national conservation partnerships and increasing public engagement on key conservation initiatives. Some milestones during Ziehmer’s tenure include restoration activities for elk, prairie chickens, hellbenders and sturgeon; active efforts to deliver the conservation message in all public schools; implementation of major infrastructure projects, including hatchery renovations, wetMDC Director Robert L. Ziehmer (pictured in the MDC land renovations, shooting hat collaring the baby elk) is stepping down as director effec- range renovations, and new regional facilities; working tive July 15.

to improve the agency’s business processes; and continuing MDC’s role as a national leader in fish, forest, and wildlife management. “Bob’s dedication to Missouri Conservation and his career with the Department has made a lasting impact for the betterment of the fish, forest, and wildlife of this state,” said Conservation Commission Chair Marilynn Bradford. “He has chosen to take the next step in his conservation career, and we are indebted to he and his family for his devoted service and commitment to Missouri Conservation.” Ziehmer was appointed director in January 2010. He is the 8th person to serve in this capacity since MDC’s founding in 1937.
On June 2, 2016, the Lake Area Narcotics Enforcement Group (LANEG), The Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control and the Camden County Sheriff’s Department concluded a joint investigation into a plot to kill a Lake Ozark, Missouri, resident. During the investigation, Jessica C. Swearingen, 25 of Sunrise Beach, Missouri, solicited an undercover agent from LANEG to assist her in murdering a family member. Swearingen was arrested without incident during a traffic stop made by the Camden County Sheriff’s Department at 9:35 p.m., on Thursday, June 2, in Osage Beach. On Friday, June 3, 2016, the Camden County Prosecuting Attorney formally charged Swearingen with conspiracy to commit murder--first degree. Bond was set at $250,000, cash only.
The above charge is mere accusation and is not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of this charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. All defendants are innocent until proven guilty.

She’s taken the lead on many initiatives, notably the University of Missouri’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) program to educate Missouri’s small business owners on the impact the ACA would have on their businesses.

Wrappers and Reductions
We all have those moments that stick with us, maybe it was an achievement, a tragedy, overcoming a fear, or coming to a realization. I had one of those moments 36 months ago when a big number was staring me in the face. It was 285, and it was the one looking back at me from the bathroom scale. Month after month of traveling hundreds of miles every day all across Missouri’s 8th Congressional district while running in the Special Election, I was the opposite of a picture of health. The floor of my car was covered with wrappers from Casey’s, Mobile or Rhodes 101 and unfortunately represented recent “meals”. My struggles with my weight are something I openly talk about because while humbling it makes me acknowledge it and proactively think about my eating choices. However, what struck me that day was a simple question, how could I pledge to take the fight to defend rural America all the way to Congress if I couldn’t even walk up the steps of the U.S. Capitol without becoming out of breath? Since winning that election 36 months ago to represent the people of southeast and south central Missouri before the U.S. Congress, I am proud to say I have lost over 75 pounds. Well in actuality, over 250 pounds - that last 10 just seems to keep falling off and getting added back each week when I step on the scale! It’s a fight each and every day. We all have our vices – mine just comes in the form of feel good comfort food made to perfection in this part of the country that gives me an excuse to sit with family and friends or cope with stress. June represents Men’s health month. It is a month dedicated to recognizing that us guys need to put our pride aside and get the necessary screenings, checkups and education to ensure we are taking the most proactive steps possible to be in control of our own health and our own lives. We owe it to more than just ourselves though, our families and loved ones deserve that dedication from us as well. This is especially true because medical journal after medical journal has published results that show being overweight can lead to so many other health problems. Most notably, being overweight greatly increases your chances of heart disease, which is the number one killer in America, or things like diabetes, stroke, and even some forms of cancer. Further, we know early detection and education are the best ways to put an end to so many preventable chronic diseases which are driving up the overall costs of healthcare in this country. For me, the wakeup to turn things around was that day when I recognized if I was going to ask people to expect the best from me, I had to be in a position to give the best to them. The catalyst however, was a New Year’s resolution at the start of 2014. Those closest to me, those who cared about me, challenged me to reverse the health course I was on. They also knew the best way to get me focused and committed was to tell me they doubted I had it in me to get serious. That was all I needed because like so many things, telling me something isn’t possible is exactly what drives me to make it happen. Now, I find myself in group exercise classes every morning, which not only help keep my waistline down, but help clear my head, and meet new colleagues. Even though I am a young conservative member from rural Missouri, it is amazing the respect people have shown me because they know my dedication to fight for an issue starts with a dedication to face my own personal challenges. There are so many things we are working towards as a nation – things to turn our economy around, rolling back the federal government’s encroachment into all of our lives and advancing a common sense conservative agenda that puts the people, not Washington, in control of their lives. I want to be around to see the impact of these changes and I want to help lead that charge, but I’m never going to be able to do that for our district if I can’t march up those stairs.

Death Notices Muriel Faye (Grogan) Smith Muriel Faye (Grogan) Smith was born to Marion Benton and Opal Marie Grogan on Aug 10, 1941 at their home in Rolla, Mo. She joined her beloved
husband of almost 55 years on June 7, 2016 at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Mo. Harold worked hard to provide Muriel with a comfortable, well-built home here on earth. They now reside in the heavenly home God prepared just for them. Muriel grew up in Yukon, Mo and attended grade school at Big Creek schoolhouse with her siblings and other children of the community. One of them was a curly-headed, energetic little fellow with a big smile and a bigger zest for life. At 12 years old, Muriel said she was going to “marry Harold Smith, milk cows, and have a dozen kids”. Although he moved to the city after graduation, and it took two years for him to throw in the towel, marry him she did on Aug 15, 1959. Three kids in the first four years of marriage made her rethink the dozen kids. One good ole’ jersey, that provided milk for the family, made her rethink the milking cows. But she never did rethink the marriage to Harold Smith. Almost all who knew her, particularly her family, heard her words, “He’s my best friend.” or “Life began when I married him.” They lived in the city for a few years and, while there, Muriel worked a short time at White Castle. For the remainder of their lives, it was common for them to pick up White Castle burgers and bring home for supper, when they visited St. Louis. They moved back “home” to the country in 1969 and Muriel proved herself to be
a cherished help-meet to her husband as a devoted homemaker. She was a “get ‘er done” kind of gal long before Larry the Cable Guy made it a household phrase. Some thought her impatient. Some thought her bossy. Some thought her too forthright and uncouth. And she was, at times, all those things. But everyone that knew her soon realized that she was simply, a well-organized, unpolished, hard-working, woman who didn’t believe in pulling punches. She kept a clean house, served thousands of homecooked delicious meals, made clothing for her children, prepared for winter and hard times by canning endless quarts of garden produce, took care of the farm animals, and kept the babies smelling good and well fed. Too well feed it seems but then you have to consider how great a cook she was. The only thing she wasn’t good at was trying to hold down a job and be a homemaker according to the standard she set for herself. So Harold worked extra jobs to bring in the income it required for her to be a full-time homemaker. This was not a sacrifice she took for granted nor was she lazy in her role as she was the ultimate multi-tasker, working hard alongside her husband in every extra job he did. Together they farmed, cut and sold wood, picked up walnuts, washed those brown UPS trucks, remodeled homes and built 4 for themselves over the years. Muriel attended church as a child but wasn’t dedicated to serving the Lord until after Harold was saved in 1974. She soon realized that “getting saved” and having a personal relationship with Christ was two different things. She struggled for a short time with his commitment to God as first in his life, as she had always held that place where he was concerned. As she matured in Christ she did the same and gladly accepted 2nd place. She became his teammate in Christ’s service as well. Muriel sang at many revival meetings, taught VBS , went on mission
trips, cooked for church dinners, helped with fund raisers and spent hours petitioning the Lord for salvation, healing, direction and provision of needs for her family and friends. Separate from him she was a chaperone for Kanakuk kampers during the summer, the only “job” she said she ever loved and did so until health wouldn’t allow. She had few hobbies. Serving the Lord, her family and others left her little time for hobbies. However she did love going to garage sales, playing cards, cooking, watching the Cardinals and traveling. She enjoyed life to the fullest. Muriel exemplified the virtuous women in Proverbs 31. Muriel is preceded in death by her husband, parents and infant twin brothers. She is survived by her children and their spouses: Kenny and Leatha Smith, Sandy and Jackie Cooper and Sharon Smith; grandchildren and spouses; Gloria and Chris Waggoner, Scott and Amanda Smith, Travis and Sarah Cooper, Julie and Ben Friedman, Joshua and Jennifer Cooper, Kevin and Jessica Smith, Kayla and Nick Clinton, Christy and Cody Luckinbill, Derek Smith and Emily Smith; their great grandchildren: Blake Smith, Devin Waggoner, Bethany Waggoner, Carson Smith, Joel Smith, Jedidiah Cooper, Joseph Friedman, Calvin Smith, Katie Jo Cooper, Belle Cooper, Whitney Smith, Samuel Luckinbill, Faith Smith, Emmett Clinton and Michael Friedman; one sister Maye Jones and husband John; and one brother Gary Grogan and wife Peggy; and a host of nieces and nephews. Those who loved her will miss her all the days of their lives. Visitation was held Thursday, June 9, 2016 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Yarber Mortuary in Willow Springs, Missouri. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Friday, June 10, 2016 at the Little Zion Baptist Church in Trask, Missouri, under the direction of Yarber Mortuary, Willow Springs.

Pauline (Denton) Koszycki Pauline (Denton) Koszycki, a long-time resident of the Chicagoland area, died Sunday, June 5th, 2016 at her home in Roselle, Illinois, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Born the 13th of November, 1927 in Mountain View, Missouri, she attended a women’s college and attained a teaching certificate. Pauline first taught in a single room school in Howell County for a few years. She subsequently moved to the Southside of Chicago with her sister Gen and a friend to seek more lucrative employment opportunities. There, she worked in a secretarial pool for an insurance company. A blind date with Eugene C. Koszycki made obvious the path her life was to take. Pauline and Eugene wed in 1952. Six children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren ensued. While raising her children she taught grade school at Saint Walter’s Catholic School and helped Eugene forge a family drapery business. She had a hand in raising every grandchild, and unconditionally loved and protected her entire family. Curling up with her books earned Pauline the childhood nickname of Possum. She remained an avid reader throughout life, and enjoyed solving puzzles, writing letters, following the news, and keeping politically current. She was a conduit of family information while maintain-
ing a rare ability to keep a secret. Through her very last day, Pauline approached life with a strong will and contagious sense of humor. Preceded in death by her parents, John Gordon and Dora Marie (Reese) Denton; her siblings Elmer Denton, Genevieve Stark, John Denton, Max Denton, Leahman Denton, Cecil Denton, and James Denton; her husband Eugene Koszycki; and her granddaughter Nicole Forsberg.

Former UT standout named new assistant coach of Grizzly Basketball team Former University of Texas standout Reggie Freeman has been chosen to assist Chris Popp (pronounced POPE) on the sidelines for the Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Basketball team during the 2016-17 season. His hiring is subject to approval of the Missouri State University Board of Governors. Freeman, who is the Longhorns’ fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,969 points, will begin his new duties Friday. He spent the past year as an assistant coach at NJCAA Division I Eastern Florida State College in Melbourne. He replaces Chad Van Riessen, who has taken a position at another college. “We’re thrilled to have Reggie Freeman join the Grizzly Athletics program as our new assistant basketball coach,” said Dr. Angela Totty, dean of student services and athletic director. “His experience and familiarity with the style of play Coach Popp plans to implement will make him a very valuable member of our team. He is familiar with the recruiting opportunities in our region and has had great success in his career developing young men into better players and successful people.” Totty also praised Van Riessen for his work with the Grizzly Basketball team the past five years. “We are thankful to Coach Chad Van Riessen for the time he spent as a Grizzly and all the ways he enhanced our program. We wish him great success as he begins his new position,” she said. Popp said the addition of Freeman to the Griz-
zly Basketball program “is enormous. He has extensive experience as a player and coach at the highest levels. His background will be invaluable to our guys as we strive to prepare them to be successful as basketball players, students and young men.” A graduate of Rice High School in Manhattan in New York City, Freeman joined the Longhorns in 1993, where he had a prolific four-year collegiate career. He helped Texas earn two Southwest Conference Championships and four berths to the NCAA tournament, where they reached the Sweet 16 in 1997 during his senior season. Freeman’s name can be found scattered throughout the list of individual records for the Longhorns in various categories. He led the Longhorns in scoring and assists his junior and senior seasons, averaging 22.4 and 21.8 points per game and 3.9 and 4.2 assists, respectively, and he led the team in rebounding his senior season with 7.6 grabs per game. He earned first team All-Southwest Conference honors his junior year and first team All-Big 12 Conference and NCAA All-American honors his senior season. His 22 point, 10 rebound and 10 assist performance against Texas Christian University on Feb. 11, 1996, is the only triple-double in Longhorns basketball history, and he was included in the Longhorns’ All-Decade Team for the 1990s. Upon completion of his collegiate career, Freeman played briefly for the Mil-
Reggie Freeman waukee Bucks before traveling overseas, where he took the court for teams in seven different countries during the next 12 years. The basketball club KK FMP in Serbia retired his No. 5 jersey in honor of his contributions to the team during his tenure there. In addition to coaching at Eastern Florida State, where he helped lead the Titans to an undefeated conference championship, a No. 4 national ranking and a trip to the NJCAA Division I Men’s National Championship Tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas, Freeman served as head coach of the Austin Rain AAU 14U through 18U squad in Austin, Texas, from March 2011 to August 2015. He also has coached several other middle and high school programs in the Austin area since 2009 and worked as a personal basketball coach and trainer through his Reggie Freeman Youth Foundation. “Coach Freeman is highly respected in the basketball community across the country and overseas,” Popp said. “His ties and reputation will be great for recruiting; however, I am more excited about what he brings to us with player development and as a mentor to our student athletes. We are very fortunate to have a coach and person of his caliber on board.” For more information about the Grizzly Basketball program, visit the team’s website, http://wp.missouristate.edu/grizzly/bb/, or call 417-255-7991.

The Old-Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival features both demonstrations and sales by a wide variety of material artists and craftspeople throughout the two-day event. This year’s event, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, June 17 and 18, celebrates Ozarks music and culture. Admission to all festival events is free. Many of these material arts and crafts originated for entirely utilitarian reasons and were essential for meeting the basic needs of Ozarks residents in past generations. As a result of changes in the region’s economy, especially the increased availability of manufactured goods since the mid-twentieth century, such arts and crafts are no longer practical necessities, but many talented artisans and craftspeople in the Ozarks continue to practice them both as outlets for their creativity and as means of celebrating the region’s rich cultural heritage. In many cases, these crafts
and art forms have incorporated more aesthetic elements as they have evolved over time, and artistry now takes precedence over functionality in the work of many of their practitioners, though this is certainly not always the case. Some of the artisans and craftspeople who participate in the Old-Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival practice their arts and crafts as living traditions, and their work reflects ongoing developments within those traditions, including, in some cases, their own innovations. Other participants in the festival are historical re-enactors who strive to practice their arts and crafts as they were practiced generations ago. Some have products available for purchase; all of them encourage festival goers to observe their work and learn about it. “Discover Nature – Fishing” Workshops Set The “Discover Nature’’ fish-

Alley Mill will be treated with a pesticide consisting of borate mineral salt as the active ingredient, which is commonly used to kill and prevent wood-destroying organisms such as powderpost beetles and termites. The pesticide treatment will be applied at Alley Mill in liquid form to all visible wood surfaces, and through a foam preparation that will be injected into all cracks, crevices, and wall spaces. Once dry, the chemical application is believed to be less harmful to humans than common ta-
ble salt. There is also minimal risk of chemical run-off, which makes it desirable for use in the natural setting surrounding Alley Mill. Though the mill will be closed, park rangers will be available on the grounds and at the Alley General Store from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day to provide visitor information.

O zarks Medical Center w ill offer a free communit y education dinner from 6 t o 7 p.m. at OMC Parkway Center. Dr. Clara Applegate, N eurologist at Ozarks Medi cal Center (OMC) Neuros ciences Center will speak o n how to “spot a stroke” a nd what to do, the critical i mportance of time to treatm ent, and stroke prevention t ips. The dinner is free, but reservations are required and can be made by calling 4172 57-6793. OMC is encoura ging everyone to attend. Stopping a stroke in time can m ake all the difference in someone’s life. Attending an OMC Stroke Education Dinner turned out t o be a life-changing event f or Ellen Drapkin, who suffered a stroke at home in the middle of the night last year. W hen she fell out of bed, h er husband Ed recognizes the FAST symptoms he had l earned at an OMC Stroke Education Dinner and called 911, saying, “I think my wife is having a stroke.” First responders activated the stroke a lert and because of Ed’s quick action, Ellen has made a complete recovery and is back to driving, working and doing the things she enjoys. “ When someone is suff ering from a stroke, time a nd expertise are critically important from the first seco nd.” said Dr. Applegate.
“We are extremely proud of o ur comprehensive stroke p rogram and the team of p rofessionals who respond q uickly and efficiently to stroke, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” In 1996, the U.S. Food and D rug Administration (FDA) a pproved Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) for acute ischemic stroke. Since then, t PA has been severely underutilized. At the time when m ost practitioners were bei ng first exposed to the lite rature concerning tPA, Dr. A pplegate began the Stroke Team at OMC. She saw the benefits of tPA and began a 2 0-year mission to educate the community that stopping a stroke in time can make all t he difference in someone’s life. T his mission continues t oday for Dr. Applegate as h er passion for the cause is e vident to anyone who has the chance to visit with her. “I’ve spent the last 19 years trying to change the percept ion of stroke. It is essent ial that at the first signs of stroke, people need to come in to the hospital and be evaluated. Even if it turns out to n ot be a stroke, it is so important that they be seen.” O MC’s multidisciplinary s troke team is made up of n urses, physicians, neurolo gists, ambulance services, t herapists and Emergency
Deciding What to Do in Retirement
Dear Savvy Senior, I just turned 62 and am financially prepared for retirement, but I’m less certain about how to spend my time after leaving work. Can you recommend some resources or tools that can help me with this? Feeling Lost Dear Lost, This is a great question! Many people, when asked what they want to do when they retire, will say they want a mix of travel, play and meaningful work. Specifics, however, tend to be few and far between. But planning how to fill your time in retirement is just as important as the financial planning aspect. Here are some resources that can help. Online Tools A good starting point to figuring out what you want to do in retirement is at LifeReimagined.aarp.org. This is an AARP webEmployee of the Month - Brenda Barton (right) is the May site (you don’t have to be a member to use it) that can help you employee of the month at Texas County Memorial Hospital. rediscover what truly matters to you and focus on what you really She’s with her supervisor, Amanda Blaylock. (Photo provided want to do. It offers a variety of online exercises and programs to the Standard) that will hopefully spark some ideas and give you inspiration. En core.org is another good resource that helps people who are seeking work that matters in the second half of life. Click on “Resources” on the menu bar and download their free Encore Guide, and consider purchasing a copy of their “Encore Career Handbook” (available at Amazon.com or BN.com for $10.50) by Marci Alboher, which is excellent. Also check out the free E-book called “The Age for Change,” wh ich can help answer the question: “What now?” You can download this at ComingOfAge.org. And, if you’ve never taken a personality test before, this too can be a good tool to help you figure out what type of activities or work you’d like to do. A good option for this is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment, which you can take online at MBTIcomplete.com for $50. Personalized Guidance If you want personalized help, you can also get one-on-one gu idance from a retirement or life planning coach. Some resources that can help you here include LifePlanningForYou.com, which has a free exercise called EVOKE to help identify a path that might suit you best in later life, and provides a directory to registered life planners to help guide you. Al so see: RetirementOptions.com, which will connect you with a retirement coach who will give you an assessment to help reveal your attitudes and opinions about work, family life, relationships, leisure time and more. And the LifePlanningNetwork. org, which is a group of professionals and organizations that help people navigate the second half of life. You can also find life and retirement coaching at the International Coach Federation at CoachFederation.org. Coaching sessions typically range from $75 to $300 or more, and usually require four to six sessions to get the most out of the process. Other Resources If you’re primarily interested in volunteering, finding a retirement job or even starting a business when you retire, there are lots of resources that can help here too. For volunteering, PointsOfLight.org, VolunteerMatch.org and SeniorCorps.gov and help you search for opportunities, or even create one on your own. To look for job ideas, sites like RetirementJobs.com, Workfo rce50.com and RetiredBrains.com list thousands of jobs nationwide from companies that are actively seeking older workers. FlexJobs.com can help you find good work-at-home jobs. CoolWorks.com and BackDoorJobs.com are great for locating seasonal or summer jobs in great places. Or to search for freelance opportunities in a wide variety of areas, there’s Elance.com and Guru.com. And if you’re interested in starting a new business, the U.S. Small Business Administration offers tips, tools and free online courses to entrepreneurs that are 50 and older at SBA.gov/content/50-entrepreneurs, as does the nonprofit association Score at Score.org.

Department workers who res pond to stroke. According t o Dr. Applegate, the first s tep is that people need to b e aware and call 911. All of the EMS systems (ground a nd air ambulances) recogn ize that stroke is an emergency and that every minute counts, so as soon as the 911 c all comes in, EMS notifies t he stroke team at OMC to b e on alert. When the pat ient arrives at the hospital t he stroke is confirmed by t he doctors and CT scan is d one right away. CT scan o f the head must be done r ight away to avoid giving clot buster to someone with a hemorrhage or another problem. The “clot busting drug,” t PA, may be given right away if the diagnosis is confirmed and blood pressure is controlled. The national standard is to administer the tPA within 60 minutes of arrival at the hospital. OMC’s average for 2015 was 43 minutes. “We are very proud that OMC’s response time beats the national standard. The quicker someone can receive care for a stroke, the better the outcomes for their long-term health may be,” Dr. Applegate said. “Having a trained stroke response team ready to act allows us to rapidly identify and assess
a patient’s condition. It is not always possible to prevent a stroke, but with timely, evidence-based care, it is possible to prevent many of the complications of stroke.” Dr. Applegate said it is critical for those who may be experiencing a stroke to act fast and call 911. “Even if you are close to the hospital, it is important to call 911,” she said. “The technicians can begin treatment in the ambulance and can notify the Emergency Department to put the OMC Stroke Team on alert. The clot buster, tPA must be given within a 3 hours from the start of stroke symptoms. The American Heart Association reports that unfortunately, only 4 percent of stroke patients nationwide receive the recommended treatment in the key hours after stroke. The signs of stroke are easy to remember using the acronym FAST (face, arm, speech, time): Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty and Time to call 911. For more information on stroke or Target Stroke, contact the OMC Neurosciences Center at 417-257-6777. To make reservations to attend the free educational dinner, call 417-257-6793.
OMC offers smoking cessation class July 6 O zarks Medical Center ( OMC) and the American L ung Association will be o ffering the Freedom From Smoking program, a 8-week s moking cessation class for adults. Meetings will be held e very Wednesday during t he session beginning on Wednesday, July 6 at 9 a.m., in the OMC Pulmonary Rehab Conference Room in the Shaw Building. You must be registered by June 30. There i s no cost for the program, but enrollment is required. A s America’s gold standard smoking cessation program for over 25 years, Freed om From Smoking helps p articipants create personalized plans to overcome their tobacco addiction. With a recent new edition, the program is based on the l atest research on addiction a nd behavior change. It app roaches the difficulties of q uitting with a sensitive, supportive style. S tudies show that people w ho use the program are s ix times more likely to be s moke-free one year later than those who try to quit on their own.
According to Ruth Nabors, Pulmonary Rehab Coordinator at OMC, the program is especially helpful because it is taught by a trained facilitator who helps participants learn what triggers their smoking, when they are most likely to smoke, and the best way to approach the quitting process. “Our Community Health Needs Assessment showed the need for OMC to address causes of cancer and heart disease. Cigarettes and second-hand smoke are a leading cause of disease,” said Tom Keller, OMC President and CEO. “We want to improve lives by improving health. Helping people avoid health problems that can be prevented by stopping smoking will achieve a healthier community.” The public can enroll in this free program by calling Ruth Nabors at 417-2575959, extension 6905. Please leave your name, phone number, and address on the voicemail and you will be contacted. The classes are limited to the first 15 to enroll.
OMC, American Red Cross blood drive June 29 O zarks Medical Center’s (OMC) and the American Red C ross will host a blood drive W ednesday, June 29, from noon until 6 p.m., at the Will ard Hunter Classroom in the OMC Parkway Center. If you haven’t donated blood b efore, add that to the list of new things to do this summer. Y ou will need a blood donor c ard or driver’s license -- or t wo other forms of identification -- at check-in. You need to be 17 years of age (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. R apidPass is available to d onors and allows them to complete their pre-reading and donation questions online from t he comfort and privacy of their home or office; reducing the time they spend at the blood drive by up to 15 minutes. Visit r edcrossblood.org/RapidPass, r ead the information, answer t he questions, and print the pass or email it to themselves t o show when they check in a t the blood drive. RapidPass
must be completed the same day as the donation. Donors are still encouraged to schedule an appointment online. Double Red Cell Donation also is available to donors who meet the requirements to safely donate two red cell units rather than one. Double red cell collection is an automated process that facilitates the collection of red blood cells while the donor’s plasma levels are maintained. Several factors make this donation desirable including the use of a smaller needle, donating less often, and because of the process used, donors feeling better afterward. Consider making a difference by donating blood at the next blood drive. Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. About 44,000 pints of blood are needed in the U.S. every day. Almost everyone will know someone in their lifetime who has the need for blood. Only 38% of the population is eligible to donate, but only about 8% of those who are eligible actually donate. For more information, visit redcrossblood.org, or call the OMC Public Relations Department at 417-257-6735.

Mobley receives national award Mark Twain National Forest’s Manpower Development Specialist Jane Mobley was recently awarded the 2015 National Volunteers and Service Award in Leadership. Jane’s innovative leadership helps the Forest Service engage over 100,000 people in service programs each year. Her persistence and dedication, along with the veteran participants, resulted in approval from the Veteran’s Administration for participating veterans to receive G.I. benefits while participating
in on-the-job training through a VetsWork partnership with the USDA Forest Service. Jane’s efforts over the past fifteen years have contributed countless project hours on federal lands and valuable skill-building for students, recent graduates, veterans and volunteers. Her outstanding work has increased the capacity of the USDA Forest Service and serves as a shining example of the agency’s focus on volunteerism and community service.
