State Rep. Robert Ross recently joined with the Missouri Department Corrections to recognize the outstanding efforts of corrections officer Sherry Rosenbum of Summersville. A special ceremony was held at the Ike Skelton Training Center in Jefferson City, where Rosenbum received the Director’s Award of Valor, and an official House Resolution in honor of her service to the state. The ceremony took place during Missouri Correctional Employees’ Week on May 16.

The Director’s Award of Valor is given to staff who perform outstanding heroic services, particularly in lifesaving

or life-threatening situations.

On Nov. 14, 2016, Rosenbum called a Code 70 (Fire), after discovering smoke coming from a cell. She was joined by other corrections officers who attempted to overcome the smoke, but were forced to turn back. Rosenbum then entered the cell alone and discovered the prisoner unresponsive on the floor. She then pulled the unconscious offender from the smoke-filled cell and took him to a secure area where medical staff rendered treatment until the offender regained consciousness, and afterwards made a full recovery.

Rosenbum began her career with the Missouri Department

of Corrections as a Corrections Officer I at South Central Correctional Center in Licking, Missouri on May 17, 2004; and was promoted to her present rank as a Corrections Officer II on April 16, 2011.

“Sherry Rosenbum was truly heroic that day as she risked her own life to bravely move forward to rescue a life when others were forced to turn back.

Her dedication and ability to remain calm in stressful situations, combined with her competence in reacting with sound judgment are all attributes that make her an outstanding employee and someone truly deserving of our appreciation,” said Ross, R-Yukon.

The Rotary Club of Mountain View recently presented checks to area organizations to assist with their needs.

Faith Collins representing UPP-Uniquely Perfect People was presented a check for $250.

UPP is a group established for the socialization of “differently labeled” individuals from childhood through adulthood.

Tressa Dunlap representing On Time Ministry was presented a check for $500. On Time Ministry is committed to preventing human trafficking.

Beth Davis was presented a check for $750 for the Mountain View Elementary Friday Backpack Program. The Friday Backpack Program supplies food to children in the ele-

mentary school to be used over the weekend when they do not have access to the school meal program. The Rotary Club of Mountain View is committed to assisting those in and around the Mountain View community through service activities.

Throughout the year the club donates money raised to nonprofit organizations. For further information about the Rotary Club of Mountain View, or the organizations listed, please contact Cindy Weatherford at 417-293-9961.

Congressman Jason Smith Capitol Report: Capitol Violence In the early morning hours of June 14 – in the middle of a picturesque American backdrop – a gunman targeted Members of Congress and opened fire on a baseball field in Virginia where they were practicing for their annual charity baseball game.

The shooting in Virginia was the second time in less than a decade that a member of the U.S. House of Representatives was shot.

In this case, it was Con-

gressman Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, who remains in critical condition.

Congressman Scalise, Members of the House and Senate and their staffers were partaking in America’s pastime and two brave Capitol Police Officers were doing their job when they were attacked.

In 2011, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was simply doing her job as well, holding a meet and greet outside of an Arizona su-

For the second time since the regular legislative session ended on May 12, lawmakers have returned to Jefferson City for a special session, which began on June 11.

One reason the special session was called by the governor is to repeal a St. Louis ordinance. The ordinance bans employers from firing, refusing to hire or disciplining women because they have an abortion, take contraception, use artificial insemination or become pregnant while not married. It also bans the same discrimination in housing.

St. Louis’ ordinance prohibits discrimination based on “reproductive health decisions.” It doesn’t apply to religious organizations such as churches and schools, but there is no exemption for faith-based “crisis pregnancy centers,” which try to counsel women against abortion.

The special session also comes in response U.S. District Judge Howard Sachs’s, May 2 decision, which overturned Texas’ abortion clinic laws; meaning Missouri’s were no longer enforceable. This action also changed a requirement stating Missouri doctors who perform abortions must have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The judge also struck down rules that clinics meet the same standards hospitals have for outpatient surgery.

Soon after the May 2 decision, Planned Parenthood announced it was planning to open clinics in Springfield, Kansas City and Joplin, thus the urgency behind the governor’s decision, which I fully support. Currently, St. Louis is the only city in the state that has abortion services.

After committee meetings earlier this week the lawmakers were able to reach a compromise. Just after midnight on Thursday, the Senate voted 20-8. Senate Bill 5 includes new regulations and provisions regarding pathology reports on fetal remains. There are also increased protections for abortion clinic employees who report any illegal activity or infractions of the law.

Once passed the bill will also get rid of St. Louis’ anti-discrimination ordinance. The bill now goes to the House for its consideration. The Senate has adjourned until June 22.

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.

permarket, when she was shot in the head.

It has been nearly 20 years since Majority Whip Tom DeLay came face to face with a gunman in the United States Capitol when the attacker proceeded to enter his office.

Like my friend Steve, Tom had Capitol Police Officers nearby who acted with complete disregard for their own safety and bravely protected everyone there. Tragically, Officers Jacob Chestnut and John Michael Gibson were shot and killed that day.

I want to reiterate Speak-

Shannon County Commission meeting minutes The Shannon County Commission met on Tuesday, May 30 at 9 a.m. at the Shannon County Courthouse.

Members present were Jeff Cowen, Presiding Commissioner; Dale Counts, Northern Commissioner; Herman Kelly, Southern Commissioner and Shelly McAfee, County Clerk.

The Commission approved the run-ons and abates to the personal and real estate property valuations prepared by the Assessor’s office. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y) Commission approved the invoices presented for payment. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y) Dale motions to approve the minutes of May 22nd, 2017. Herman seconds the motion.

Motion carries with all in favor. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y) Being no further business, Herman motions to adjourn the meeting at 12:00 p.m.

Dale seconds the motion.

Motion carries with all in favor. (D-Y, H-Y, J-Y)

er Ryan’s statement, an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. In the midst of partisan tension, harsh language and political criticism, the violence we experienced made us stop, slow down, and remember that no matter what side of the aisle we are on or what policies we agree or disagree with, we are all Americans working every day to serve those we call friends and neighbors back home. Like President Trump said, “We may have our differences but we do

well in times like these to remember that everyone who serves in our nation’s capital is here because above all they love our country. We can all agree that we are blessed to be Americans.”

I also want to express my deep gratitude for the heroic actions of the Capitol Police Officers. Had they not been there, the fate of dozens of my colleagues could have been much worse. Once again, the thin blue line held in the face of unspeakable violence.

I ask you to join me in praying for everyone who was involved in the attack to recover quickly and completely. Pray for their families as well who are holding vigil at hospital bedsides. And finally, pray for our nation to heal.

As we move forward from this horrific event, we must not forget that what makes America great is that we are all different. We cannot allow those differences to bring anger and violence to our doorstep and threaten our democracy.

MDC continues work on flood-damaged accesses Extensive damage at some river accesses has kept them closed as MDC work continues

Flood Damage - This photo shows flood damage at the MDC Jerome Access on the Gasconade River looking from the parking lot towards the entrance road. The remains of the concrete parking pad are pictured in the foreground. The access remains closed for public safety. (Photo provided to the Standard)

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) continues work on evaluating and repairing river and stream accesses damaged by flooding earlier this spring. Most flood damage occurred to MDC accesses in the Ozarks on the Current River, North Fork of the White River, and the Gasconade River.

MDC reports most accesses have already been repaired by removing debris, filling in scour holes,

and repairing and replacing ramps, parking pads, and other structures -- but some remain closed due to extensive damage.

“Safe passage to the river is still limited at Myrtle, Hebron, Warren Bridge, Cook, Blair Bridge, and Jerome accesses due to extensive flood damage to roads, parking lots, and ramps,” said MDC Design and Development Division Chief Jacob Careaga. “For public safety, these access-

es remain closed at this time.”

He added that some of these river accesses have sustained significant damages from flooding multiple times over the years so MDC is also doing more extensive evaluations of these areas.

“We are assessing these select areas to see if the current locations are the best places to have accesses and if there are different ways to rebuild structures or potentially relocate accesses to better locations in the same area,” Careaga said. “At this time, we have not decided to permanently close any accesses.”

Honorary Pallbearers were Chuck Bell, Jim Bell, Jimmy McAfee, Donnie McAfee, Gary McAfee, Roy Snider, Jeff McAfee, Rick McAfee, Huey McAfee, Darren Norris, Roy Norris, Troy Norris, Ronnie Redman, Mackey Redman, and Easton Fears. Interment was in Horner Cemetery in Winona, MO under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home, LLC of Winona, MO. Freda Eileen McAfee Norris Grandstaff was born on Rogers Creek in Carter County, Missouri on August 9, 1930, to James Lincoln and Myrtle Bowen McAfee.

She departed this life June 12, 2017, on Mill Creek in Shannon County, MO at the age of 86. She graduated eighth grade from Mill Creek School in Carter County, MO, and she later acquired her high school GED diploma.

She was united in marriage to her childhood sweetheart, and the love of her life, Harmon “Jake” Gabe Norris on September 20, 1952 in Pocahontas, AR. To this union their daughter was born, Connie Diane, on September 25, 1955. After the loss of her husband Jake, on December 7, 1993, she later married

her loving husband Lester “Buck” Howard Grandstaff on May 10, 1997 at Mill Creek, MO. Freda leaves to mourn her daughter, Connie Diane (Oscar) Fears of Winona, MO; grandsons Hunter Norris (Audrey) Fears of West Plains, MO and Chance Gabe (Beth Anne) Fears of Winona, MO; great grandson Easton Ean; brother Lynn (Velma) McAfee of Winona, MO; sister Lucille West of Fremont, MO; stepchildren Barb (Kenny) Cowen, Teresia Huddleston, and Richard (Nikki) Grandstaff all of Birch Tree, MO, John (Debbie) Grandstaff of Willow Springs, MO, and Velma (Mike) Russell of Winona, MO, along with eleven step grandchildren and eighteen step great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband Harmon; her father Link; her mother Myrtle, her brothers Wilbur and Roy McAfee; her sisters Pauline Bell, Helen Norris, Evelyn Atkins, and Emmalou Redman.

Throughout their lives together, Freda and Jake farmed raising farrowing hogs and feeder cattle. She was an outstanding cook, and known for her chicken and dumplings, dressing, homemade cobblers, and pies.

Freda and Jake also attended Horner Church, where they sang gospel songs. The song they were well known to sing together was ‘Working on a Building’, while Freda played along on her guitar. Her son-

in-law, Oscar, later bought her a piano, which she taught herself to play. Music was a big part of her life. She was often found reading her Bible, which was given to her by her dad 58 years ago and she still had at the time of her death.

Her Bible was well worn, and her most treasured material possession in life. She found solace and guidance in God’s word, and never doubted where her salvation lay.

Freda met Buck while attending the same church.

Their first date was a picnic to Elephant Rocks State Park. In later life when she and Buck were married, they enjoyed traveling the country, camping, and visiting with family and friends.

They shared 20 very happy and enjoyable years together.

The joys of her life were her two grandsons, Hunter and Chance. Then, in later years, her great grandson Easton became the one thing that gave her the most happiness in life. Her eyes lit up every time he entered the room. They had a bond that was so very special and rarely seen. As a wife, mother, and grandmother she was unsurpassed. She not only nurtured and loved her immediate family; she did the same with siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends. She has now gone to be with her Lord and Savior, and knew without a doubt her eternity was secure.

WP student will put new medical coding skills to good use at new job Tiffany Hale, a lifelong resident of West Plains, just received her Medical Coding Certificate through Missouri State University-West Plains, and she is already putting her new skills to good use in her hometown as a non-credentialed coder at Ozarks Medical Center.

“I chose to pursue the Medical Coding Certificate at Missouri State-West Plains because, throughout my life, I have always worked within the health care field in some form,” Hale said. “I decided to go back to school, not knowing exactly what I wanted to pursue, and I saw a flyer about medical coding before orientation and decided this was something I wanted to learn more about.”

Coursework for the certificate is offered through the Health Information Technology department at Missouri State-West Plains.

“The Medical Coding

Certificate is a stackable certificate, so if Tiffany decides to come back and get her twoyear degree, the Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology (HIT), her classes from this program will count toward that,” said Instructor and Director of HIT Tresa Ryan.

Ryan pointed out the certificate opens up several career options, including coding positions at hospitals, doctors’ offices, dental clinics, optometrists’ offices and veterinary clinics, to name a few. One also could be a diagnosis-related groups validator or a health record auditor, Ryan said.

“And, with coding certification beyond what is offered here, Tiffany could go even further,” Ryan said.

“She’s been an excellent student, who seems to have a knack for coding. She never gave up—she stuck with it, and I am very proud of her.”

“I would say the most rewarding aspect of the certificate program was the capstone course and being able to apply the knowledge I have learned with hands-on training at OMC during my internship,” Hale said.

Hale cites the support system provided by her adviser and instructors, as well as participating in group activities and presentations, as experiences that helped her along the way to completing her certificate program.

“This is the first certificate I have earned,” Hale said. “I plan to take my Certified Coding Associate (CCA) exam this summer, as well as my National Health Care Associate (NHA) exam. Within the next year, I plan to obtain my Certified Professional Coder (CPC) certificate and, down the road, after I get my feet wet in the coding world, I will definitely consider continuing my

coding education and keep my available options in mind like an AAS degree or something more.”

Obtaining coding credentials through these testing programs will confirm Hale’s knowledge base and give her additional job opportunities, higher earning potential and job security, Ryan added.

Hale said she would

highly recommend the program to prospective students.

“The instructors are great and always there for you,” she said. “Advice I have for students pursuing their coding certificate is to work hard and always know you are capable of more than you might think you are. With every bit of education you obtain, the further you will strive to reach

your goals.”

OMC Nurse Residency Program welcomed nurses

Best Bicycles for Aging Baby Boomers Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are interested in getting a couple of bicycles for leisurely exercise and fun, and would like to get your recommendation. We’re both approaching 60 and are a little overweight, and it’s been a while since we rode.

Easy Riders Dear Easy, If you’re interested in leisurely, recreational riding for fitness and fun, a great option is a “comfort bike,” which is very popular among baby boomers. Here’s what you should know about this option, along with some tips to help you shop and choose.

Comfort Bikes A comfort bike is a style of bicycle that’s easy on an aging body because it lets you ride in a more comfortable upright position. These bikes have high handlebars so you don’t have to hunch over, which eases lower-back strain and reduces pressure on the wrists and hands. They also come with wide tires for a smooth ride, offer fewer gears, and have soft, wide seats to eliminate saddle soreness.

Most comfort bikes also come with shock-absorbing forks and seat posts for additional comfort. And some offer unique design features like an ultra low step-over bar that makes getting on and off easy for people with limited flexibility (like the Biria Easy Boarding at Biria. com), or the “flat-foot” design offered by many manufacturers where the pedals are moved forward, away from the seat. This allows you to get a full-leg extension when you pedal, but keeps the seat in a lower position so when you’re stopped, you can put your feet down flat on the ground while seated, which is a great safety feature for older riders.

Most major manufacturers including Electra, Sun, Raleigh, GT, Giant, and Trek all make a line of comfort bikes that costs between $300 and $800 or more depending on its features.

Shopping Tips To find a quality comfort bike, your best option is to find a good bike shop in your area. Bikes from big box stores, like Walmart and Target, are mass-market bikes that may be less expensive, but the quality isn’t as good and they’re typically seven to eight pounds heaver. They also come in only one size, so you’re not likely to get a great fit.

Before you buy any bike, be sure you take it for a test ride first to ensure that the seat and fit of the bike is comfortable, the brakes and shifters are easy to use, the gears can go low enough for climbing hills, and the frame and suspension adequately smooth the bumps.

Recumbent Bikes If the comfort bikes don’t meet your needs, another popular style among older riders is a recumbent bike.

These are the low-to-the-ground, stretched-out frame bikes with La-Z-Boy style seats that allow you to recline with your legs positioned in front of you.

Recumbent bikes are very comfy, easy on the back, arms and shoulders, and aerodynamic which make them ideal for long rides. The disadvantages, because they are low-to-the-ground, they can be harder to balance and maneuver, and are more difficult for other vehicles to see.

If you worry about falling or want more stability when you ride consider a three-wheel recumbent trike. See SunSeeker.bike and TerraTrike.com for a nice variety, but be aware that recumbent bikes are more expensive, typically ranging between $1,000 and $2,500.

Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) welcomed their first cohort of nurse residents recently. These graduate nurses have been added to OMC’s nursing staff.

OMC’s Nurse Residency Program is a 12-week program designed to fulfill recruitment needs while transitioning newly graduated professional nurses into the role of direct-care nurse.

“Newly graduated nurses are often overwhelmed by the fast pace work environment and work demands leading quickly to job dissatisfaction,” said Kurt Abbey, Chief Nursing Officer at OMC. “OMC has taken initiative to transition new nurses with a curriculum that is evidenced-based and supports best practice with an emphasis on Nursing Excellence: high quality, professionalism and compassionate care.”

“The program provides weekly learning that will enhance critical thinking, communication skills and ease the struggles of transition. The Nurse Residents are our employees and not

Discover nature through frogging starting June 30 Season begins June 30 at sunset and ends Oct. 31. Bullfrogs and green frogs are legal game with a daily limit of eight The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages Missourians to discover nature this summer. One fun and exciting way is through frogging. Frogging season begins June 30 at sunset and ends Oct. 31. Missouri has two frog species that are legal game — bullfrog and green frog. Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after.

The daily limit is eight frogs of both species combined and the possession limit is 16 frogs of both species combined.

Only the daily limit may be possessed on waters and banks of waters where hunting.

Daily limits end at midnight so froggers who catch their daily limits before midnight and then want to return for more frogging after midnight must

remove the daily limit of previously caught frogs from the waters or banks before returning for more.

Frogging can be done with either a fishing permit or a small-game hunting permit.

Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents 65 years of age or older are not required to have a permit.

Those with a fishing permit

Taney Co. angler catches state-record sunfish The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports Dominik Penner of Merriam Woods Village became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he caught a redear sunfish on Table Rock Lake. The new “alternative method” record fish caught by Penner on May 14 weighed 1 pound, 5 ounces. Penner’s recent catch broke the previous state record of 1-pound, 1-ounce, caught earlier this year.

Penner caught the fish on a trotline. A trotline is

a heavy fishing line with baited hooks attached at intervals by means of branch lines called snoods. A snood is a short length of line which is attached to the main line using a clip or swivel with the hook at the end.

MDC weighed the redear sunfish on a certified scale at Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery in Branson.

“This is the sixth state-record fish this year.

2017 is shaping up to be a year for state-record fish,” said MDC Fisheries Programs Specialist Andrew Branson. “The mild

weather we have had this year means more anglers are fishing, and catching big fish.”

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. For more information on state-record fish, visit the MDC website at http://on.mo. gov/2efq1vl.

may take frogs by hand, hand net, atlatl, gig, bow, trotline, throw line, limb line, bank line, jug line, snagging, snaring, grabbing or pole and line.

With a small game hunting permit, frogs may be harvested using a .22-caliber or smaller rimfire rifle or pistol, pellet gun, atlatl, bow, crossbow, or by hand or hand net. The use of artificial light is permitted when frogging.
