The list is a provision of Constitutional Amendment 7, an August 5 ballot measure to temporarily raise Missouri’s sales tax by 3/4 cent. The public meeting schedule, the draft transportation improvement list, and an online comment form are available at www.modot.org/ movingforward. The comment period will close at 5:00 p.m., July 3.

time later they advised he had escaped the fire. Upon arrival, officers observed the parsonage at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church had fire coming from the roof and upper level windows. A male subject stated that he had called 9-1-1 after seeing the fire and pulled into the parking lot to make sure everyone was out. He said as he pulled in, a male wearing a black shirt was running from the residence with fire place tools (fire place shovel) in his hand. He stated he had broken out the southwest window and jumped out to escape. He was in the process of being checked out by South Howell County Ambulance for lacerations caused by the broken window. The subject being treated was identified as Reland Paul Littleshield, 21 of West Plains, MO. Littleshield was detained
until officers could gather more information. T h e state f i r e Reland Paul marshal Littleshield, 21 was contacted to investigate the cause of the fire. When questioned, Littleshield stated that numerous people were chasing him so he ran to the church to get help. He ran up the stairs and tried to open the door when no one answered the lower door. He took the grate of the BBQ grill and then threw the grill down the stairs to block the people chasing him. He then used the BBQ grate to break out the glass door. See Arson on Page 8

Public opinion is an important part of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s deer management efforts so MDC is holding public meetings around the state to inform citizens of its deer management efforts and to gather feedback. Questions being asked by the Department include: - What are your thoughts on the use of crossbows by all hunters during archery season? - Do you have ideas related to moving the November portion of the firearms season back one week? - Do you have comments on the elimination or reduction in the length of the antlerless portion of the firearm season? - Do you think implementing a one-buck limit for archery season or a one-buck annual limit regardless of method is a good or bad idea? - What are your thoughts on continuing or implementing the antler point restriction in the county you hunt? Meeting topics will cover: - History of deer management in Missouri; - Hunter retention and recruitment; - Qualitative and quantitative information on what MDC has heard from the public; - Deer Management Plan; See Open House on Page 8

Congressman Smith introduces SCRUB Act to right regulatory burdens Legislation establishes a bipartisan, Blue-Ribbon commission to review regulations and make recommendation for repeal The House Judiciary Committee approved H.R. 4874 the Searching for and Cutting Regulations that are Unnecessarily Burdensome Act of 2014, or SCRUB Act, sponsored by Congressman Jason Smith (R-MO). Smith filed the SCRUB Act in an effort to fight ineffective and intrusive federal regulations that are holding back private sector job creation and economic
growth. “Regulations from Washington are hurting job growth and keeping our economy from growing. Studies have estimated that every American household is burdened with $15,000 in regulatory costs each year,” said Smith. “The SCRUB Act is designed to identify and eliminate outdated and ineffective regulations. The legislation put a bi-

Gov. Nixon signs bill to protect families of fallen soldiers at funerals Gov. Jay Nixon signed House Bill 1372 on Friday, June 20th, to protect the families of fallen Missouri soldiers at funeral services. The bill, which was passed unanimously by both the Missouri House and Senate, is patterned after a local Missouri city ordinance that was upheld by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. House Bill 1372 specifies where a person is prohibited from protesting, and specifi-
cally defines the prohibited protest activities. Restrictions in this area were prompted by protests at funerals of Missouri soldiers by members of the Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, Kan. “This law continues our efforts to protect the rights of families grieving at a funeral to not experience hate-filled intrusions,” Gov. Nixon said. “The very concept of these protests is repulsive to the vast majority of Missourians.”
partisan, BRAC-style commission in place to review regulations and make recommendations for repeal.” At the end of 2013, the Code of Federal Regulations contained 175,000 pages of regulations. Smith introduced the SCRUB Act to combat excessive regulations after seeing the impact the rules were having on families, small businesses and farmers in Missouri’s Eighth Congressional District. “Our Eighth Congressional District and all of rural America are under a regulatory attack from Washington bureaucrats. The Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Labor and other beltway bureaucrats are trying to regulate everything from how we generate power, to kids helping out on the family farm,” said Smith. “News reports always talk about the divide between Republicans and Democrats but there is an equal divide in Washington between rural and urban interests. The SCRUB Act will help protect rural America from intrusive regulations that are hurting our rural way of life.” SCRUB Act Background:
The Problem: The Accumulated Weight of Federal Regulations Is Holding Back Job Creation and Economic Growth - Too much regulation, especially too much outdated regulation, means higher prices, lower wages, and fewer jobs for hardworking Americans, as well as less American economic growth. - Federal regulations now impose an estimated burden of $1.86 trillion. That equals roughly $15,000 per U.S. household and 11.5% of America’s 2012 GDP. It is more than $300 billion higher than combined individual and corporate federal income taxes and equivalent to 85 percent of U.S. corporate profits in 2013. - As of the end of 2013, the Code of Federal Regulations contained a massive 175,000 pages of regulations in 235 volumes. Surely, many of these regulations can be repealed to lower costs to American workers and American job creators without an undue loss in regulatory effectiveness. See SCRUB on Page 8

Steel Magnolias at the Star Theater If you missed Steel Magnolia’s at the Star Theater last weekend, the bad news is that you only have three more chances to catch this tragically funny drama. The good news is . . . you still have three more chances to catch this tragically funny drama directed by Mountain Grove’s own, Craig Fowler. Good news or bad, the point is that you get to the
Star before it is too late. Centered around six southern women, each with their own unique personalities and . . . charm, Steel Magnolia’s begins on the day of Shelby Eatonton’s (Carrie Roberts) wedding. Gathering in Truvy’s (Katie Thomas) beauty shop where Annelle (Jennifer Spencer) has just been hired. Shelby and her mother (Rhonda
Newton) are getting their hair done for the big event. Joined by mayor’s wife, Clairee (Jeanie Anderson) and town crank, Ouiser (Wendy Parker), the stage is set for gossip, laughs and lots of acerbic wit. The script, written by Robert Harling, comes with a certain amount of fame and popularity and one would be hard-pressed not to think of the all star cast of the 1989 film. However, Fowler has put together a wonderfully talented cast with the ability to translate the characters with freshness and a good bit of fun. But the fun can’t last as tragedy strikes and challenges their faith and friendship. The title, Steel Magnolia’s, refers to the strength in Harling’s six southern flowers and Fowler’s cast makes you believe it. The final performances will run June 27th and 28th at 7:00 p.m. and June 29th at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $6 and are available online at stardramaticco.com or at the door. Don’t walk, run to the theater this weekend for a truly southern-fried treat. Oh, and my advice? Bring tissues.

SCRUB Act will Fight Job Killing Regulations
Nothing kills jobs and hurts our economy in rural Missouri more than regulations from bureaucrats in Washington. With each passing day federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Labor create more and more rules that are forced on individuals, small business owners and farmers who are struggling to make ends meet. At a time when our economy needs to grow, regulations are holding back innovation and the American entrepreneurial spirit. Too much burdensome and invasive regulation means higher prices, lower wages, and fewer jobs for hardworking Americans, as well as less American economic growth. Federal regulations now impose an estimated burden of $1.86 trillion. That equals roughly $15,000 per U.S. household and 11.5% of America’s 2012 GDP. It is more than $300 billion higher than combined individual and corporate federal income taxes and equivalent to 85 percent of U.S. corporate profits in 2013. As of the end of 2013, the Code of Federal Regulations contained a massive 175,000 pages of regulations in 235 volumes. Surely, many of these regulations can be repealed to lower costs to American workers and American job creators. This week I filed legislation to fight the intrusive federal regulations that are holding back private sector job creation and economic growth. My bill, the Searching for and Cutting Regulations that are Unnecessarily Burdensome Act of 2014, or SCRUB Act, is designed to identify and eliminate outdated and ineffective regulations. The legislation put a bipartisan, commission in place to review regulations and make recommendations for repeal. The commission would have a goal of reducing at least 15% in cumulative costs of all federal regulations. I am happy to report that the SCRUB Act was voted out of the House Judiciary Committee this week and I am now working to get the legislation on the House floor for a final vote. Our Eighth Congressional District and all of rural America are under a regulatory attack from Washington bureaucrats. The EPA, Department of Labor and other beltway bureaucrats are trying to regulate everything from how we generate power, to kids helping out on the family farm. News reports always talk about the divide between Republicans and Democrats but there is an equal divide in Washington between rural and urban interests. The SCRUB Act will help protect rural America from intrusive regulations that are hurting our rural way of life and holding back private sector job growth.

Legislation that Truly Looks Out for the Good of Missourians Missourians Deserve Affordable Energy Since entering Congress, I’ve been fighting against misguided policies that will undoubtedly raise the cost of energy. Because our state relies on coal for more than 80 percent of our energy, families in Missouri need an energy plan that creates a favorable economic climate, not one that discourages it. As part of my all-of-the-above approach to encourage a more diverse, reliable, and affordable domestic energy supply, I’ve repeatedly introduced amendments to protect American families and job creators from a carbon tax. Preventing Missourians from suffering the skyrocketing energy costs and devastating job losses that will result from a carbon tax would be a strong step forward in providing families their jobs with the stability we need. Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) latest proposal to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants is a step in the wrong direction that will result in higher electricity bills, a decrease in households’ disposable income, and job losses throughout the economy all for no tangible impact on the global climate. At a time when millions of low and middle-income families are already struggling to pay bills and find jobs, the EPA’s latest rule will force households in Missouri and nationwide to pay more to heat and cool their homes and more for almost every American-made product they buy. President Obama’s energy policies would hurt low and middle-income families the most – the very people who can’t afford to pay for those higher costs. Recently, I joined 40 of my colleagues in a letter urging President Barack Obama to withdraw the EPA’s latest devastating rule. I’ve also co-sponsored U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (Ky.) common-sense bill to block any new EPA regulation or guidance that limits carbon emissions from new or existing power plants, unless appropriate agencies can prove it will not eliminate jobs, cost our economy, increase electricity prices, or reduce electricity reliability. This bill is an important step in preventing the president and his administration from further burdening people who simply cannot afford to pay more at the pump or higher utility bills as a result of these costly energy policies. I’ll continue fighting every step of the way to stop this unprecedented power grab and protect Missouri families from the devastating economic impact of the Administration’s continued “war on coal.”

This week I would like to celebrate legislation that was passed by the General Assembly; several still await the governor’s signature. Once the governor signs legislation and they take effect, we can begin to see the real fruits of our labor. It’s through these pieces of legislation, such as those mentioned in this column, that provide the citizens of the 33rd Senatorial District and the entire state with some relief or help regarding issues relating to health, our election system and keeping hard earned dollars in your pockets. Senate Bill 639 is beneficial legislation that, once the governor signs it, will require facilities performing mammograms to give women with dense breast tissue information on alternative tests and how they may benefit from them. Women with dense breast tissue may not receive accurate results from their mammogram when using standard testing machines and protocols. While most physicians will naturally provide women with dense breast tissue all of the information they need, this bill simply requires the facility to give women information on the alternative tests. When the governor signs this bill into law, the legislation will provide women with the medical knowledge they need to make informed decisions regarding their health care. The first piece of legislation signed by the governor in March, months before session ever ended, was the oral chemotherapy bill, Senate Bill 668. This bill mandates health insurance companies to pay the same amount toward both oral and intravenous (IV) chemotherapy medications. With this much-needed change, we can eliminate a financial barrier and put the emphasis on access to quality care for cancer patients and peace of mind for their families. Oral chemotherapy allows patients the ability to continue to work and contribute to their families, because they are self-administered and often have fewer side effects. More than 25 percent of the 400 chemotherapy drugs currently being developed are oral therapies. IV treatments, which are covered as a medical benefit, require a flat co-payment, while oral therapies are covered as a pharmacy benefit. Patients receiving IV treatments can be charged up to 50 percent of the costs of these drugs, which can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses. Senate Bill 668 takes one worry away from families who are faced with coping with an illness, possibly lost wages, and mounting medical bills. In November voters will have their say about House Joint Resolution 90, an early voting measure. Upon voter approval, this proposed constitutional amendment would require, starting with the 2016 general election, early voting opportunities. The constitutional amendment passed by the Legislature allows for voting for six days before an election by mail or in-person during regular business hours at a local election authority. Weekends are excluded, and the early voting period ends the Wednesday before the election. The amendment would rely on the state budget to allocate funds to compensate local election offices for early voting costs. Early voting allows more individuals, especially those with unusual schedules, a chance to vote and still take part in the democratic process that makes this state and country so great. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol, however during interim I may be in district. 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.
The Fault In Our Stars During a season when hundred million dollar blockbusters dominate the box office, this week’s film proves it doesn’t take a small fortune to make a quality motion picture. ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ has done quite well at theaters throughout the country and is scheduled to be playing at Timber Creek Cinema beginning June 20th. Based on the popular book by author John Green this story of young love and loss is centered around Hazel Grace (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus (Ansel Elgort) who meet in a rather unconventional place; a support group for people with cancer and cancer survivors. Hazel was expected to be dead several years before, but somehow managed to beat the odds so far. However, there’s still a tough road ahead of her due to the fact that her lungs have been damaged so severely that she must be on oxygen at all times. Augustus survived his initial battle with the terrible disease, but unfortunately lost part of his right leg during the ordeal. Augustus or “Gus” is immediately attracted to Hazel and isn’t shy about making his feelings known to her. Hazel is also very interested in the
charming and charismatic Gus, but is much more cautious and reserved initially. Gus gradually manages to bring Hazel’s defenses down and in no time the young couple find themselves very much in love with one another. Against the advice of Hazel’s doctors, they fly to Amsterdam to meet the author of their favorite book and during their trip they share some life changing and unforgettable moments, but also uncover some very harsh truths. There is a very fine line to walk when making this type of movie. Nearly everyone has had to deal with someone they know and love battling this brutally cruel disease and so it’s only natural to tell the stories of cancer survivors as well as the stories of the victims it’s claimed. The key is to tell the story with class and dignity instead of manipulating the audience in order to get a cheap cry. Director Josh Boone seemed to understand the difference here as he manages to take the viewer on a journey that’s sometimes very dark, yet somehow hopeful and inspiring. The two young stars both turn in nice performances in this picture and Woodley in particular really shines throughout. Despite the sometimes heavy subject matter, this film at it’s essence, is really a story of first love, which we all know, can be the most beautiful and brutal love of all. I found ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ to be a very moving and well made motion picture. Ladies your boyfriends will probably hate it, but drag them to see it with you anyway, it’s worth it. 3 out of 5 stars.

Trevor Thomas is not a
preacher. And he’s the first to tell you he can’t carry a tune. Nevertheless, he stays busy at churches all over the country as much as any evangelist or gospel singer. In 1991, at the age of 18, he began traveling and performing at churches and events. A year later, after much prayer and counseling, Trevor surrendered
to the call of full-time ministry. Since then, Trevor has made approximately 180 appearances a year. At each appearance that Trevor makes, he cleverly combines music, monologues, poems, sketches, and mime with humor and sincerity, which makes for an unforgettable worship experience for the believer and a picture of salvation for the lost.

MSU Board approves changes to academic offerings Members of the Missouri State University Board of Governors on June 20, approved several changes to the academic offerings available at Missouri StateWest Plains. During their meeting in Kansas City, Mo., members passed resolutions adding the Associate of Science in Agriculture degree and certificates in Health Information Technology, Agricultural Business, Animal Science, Basic Bookkeeping, Basic Office Management, Equine Studies, General Agriculture, Natural Resources, Plant Science, Wildlife Management, and Wine Business and Entrepreneurship. In addition, they approved resolutions to add Agricultural Business, Culinary Arts and General Business as new emphasis areas for the Associate of Applied Science in Entrepreneurship degree; to remove Web Development as an emphasis area for the Associate of Applied Science in Computer Graphics and
Programming degree; to rename the Certificate of Entrepreneurship to the Certificate of Applied Entrepreneurship; and to remove the Associate of Applied Science in Computer Technology degree from the list of academic offerings. The resolutions were approved as part of the board’s consent agenda and will now be submitted to the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) this fall for approval, university officials said. The AS in Agriculture is designed for students who wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree in the discipline at Missouri State in Springfield or any other four-year institution following graduation, according to Cathy ProffittBoys, assistant professor of agriculture and entrepreneurship. She pointed out agriculture has long been an important part of the economy and community in Missouri State-West Plains’ service area. The degree will help
prepare students for new agricultural initiatives, including new agricultural cooperatives and value added product development that are creating new opportunities and the need for additional education in this field. The new agriculture and business-based certificates are designed to meet the specific educational needs and interests of area residents based on their current employment status or future employment desires. All will dovetail into specific associate degrees offered at Missouri State-West Plains, and several are designed to meet requirements of specific bachelor’s degrees at Missouri State in Springfield, Boys said. The Certificate in Health Information Technology is part of the university’s push to expand its allied health offerings, according to Amy Ackerson, division chair of nursing and allied health. Society’s transition to an information-based economy has im-
pacted health care in dramatic ways, she said. “Developments such as the electronic health record (EHR) as a repository for digital health information and the enhanced ability of providers, payers and patients to share the information has provided a positive impact on our nation’s healthcare system,” she said. Those who complete the certificate will be able to seamlessly integrate into Missouri StateWest Plains’ new Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology degree, which is still in the development stage, she said. After completing the degree, students could potentially transfer into established bachelor’s degrees in information technology at selected four-year institutions, she added. The Certificate in Wine Business and Entrepreneurship is designed to support the existing AAS degrees in Viticulture and Enology offered by Missouri State-West Plains as part of its
participation in the Viticulture Enology Science and Technology Alliance (VESTA). The business courses offered as part of the certificate are specifically designed to help winery and vineyard entrepreneurs by focusing on business-related aspects of that industry, Boys explained. Boys said the addition of emphasis areas for the AAS in Entrepreneurship degree will better serve students and the community by preparing them for careers with many local opportunities. The removal of Web Development as an emphasis area for the AAS in Computer Graphics and Programming degree is the result of low enrollment, she explained, adding the change will better support student needs and interests. The title change for the Certificate of Entrepreneurship to the Certificate of Applied Entrepreneurship better describes the program and differentiates it
Retire Bennett. “The footprints of his leadership can be seen throughout our campus, from the excellent programs provided through his student services division, which help students adjust to the demands of college and support their efforts to become successful graduates of our academic programs, to the success of Grizzly Athletics, which has put this campus on the national map. I have often said that he does the work of 10 mortal men, and those efforts have played a major role in the success of Missouri State-West Plains. Although we are sad to see him go, we are excited for him as he begins this new chapter in his life.” Lunday began working for Missouri State University as director of career information, placement and cooperative education Sept. 1, 1984. He was appointed acting vice president of student affairs Aug. 5, 1986, before being named to the position permanently on Aug. 1, 1987. He came to Missouri State-West Plains July 1, 1993, as coordinator of finan-
from other certificate and degree programs in this discipline, she said. The deletion of the AAS in Computer Technology is due to low enrollment. Its removal will allow resources to be directed to programs with more student demand, she explained. Now that resolutions for these academic program changes have been approved by the board, Lancaster said university officials hope to forward the proposals to CBHE in time for action at the group’s September meeting. If approved by CBHE, Missouri State-West Plains will then be authorized to offer 15 associate degrees and 19 certificate options. For more information about these degrees and certificate options, visit the Missouri State-West Plains website, www.wp.missouristate.edu, or call the admissions office at 417-255-7955.

He was named director of student services on July 1, 1995, then dean of student services on July 1, 1999. Several new departments, services and initiatives were implemented and/or expanded at Missouri State-West Plains during Lunday’s tenure. These include the advising and testing center now known as the Advising and Academic Coaching Center for Empowering Student Success (AACCESS); the Career and Campus Outreach Center; professional, health, legal, counseling and credit counseling services for students; and Grizzly Athletics, which now has an endowment valued at more than $1.5 million, and the Grizzly Booster Club. He authored or co-authored several grant proposals which led to the establishment of the Veterans Incentive Program and Veterans Services Center, the College Parent Resource Center, and the CCAMPIS
child care program, as well as numerous outreach programs through the admissions office, including campus caravans, high school extravaganzas, financial aid workshops and the recently developed College Express enrollment program. These programs have played a role in doubling campus enrollment during his tenure, officials said, pointing out enrollment went from 1,018 students in fall 1993 to 2,123 in fall 2013. One of his most recent university projects was the Operation 50K initiative, for which he served as administrative leader. The project encouraged students, faculty, staff and others with ties to the university to volunteer a total of 50,000 hours of community service in a year’s time – from the university’s 2013 commencement ceremony to the 2014 commencement ceremony – in honor of the campus’ 50th anniversary. Under his leadership, and that of student leaders, the 50,000-hour goal was met in early April, well ahead of the May 17 deadline. By the deadline, participants had donated
56,531 hours. When calculated at Missouri’s minimum wage of $7.50, participants had donated $423,982 worth in labor. Lunday also became very active in the West Plains community, lending his support to numerous projects and causes. These include serving on the boards of Ozark Independent Living, West Plains Community Foundation, Heart of the Ozarks United Way, West Plains Country Club, Greater West Plains Area Chamber of Commerce, West Plains Planning and Zoning Commission, and the West Plains Home Rule Charter Commission, to name a few. In several instances, he served as board chairman. He served on the committees for Ozarks Medical Center’s 50th anniversary, the 37th Judicial Circuit Juvenile Division and Drug Court, the Robert Neathery Skate Park, and Howell County All-Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee, and he was a volunteer mentor with the Howell County Juvenile Services’ Mentoring Achieves Great Individual Connections (MAGIC) program. Lunday has received numerous awards for his community service, including Missouri State University’s Staff Excellence in Community Service and Staff Excellence in Public Affairs awards, and the Greater West Plains Area Chamber of Commerce’s Chairman’s Award. In addition, the Grizzly Booster Club Executive Board of Directors honored him and his wife, Mary Beth, with the
Grizzly Track Award in 2002 for their tireless work and support of the program. Royce Fugate, former West Plains city administrator and current councilman, said he was saddened by the news of Lunday’s retirement, saying “he’s done so much for the university and the community. When you think about all of the programs he handles – and he handles them so well – it’s unbelievable.” Fugate praised Lunday’s service to the city, pointing out his membership on the planning and zoning commission, several search committees for city positions, and on the charter commission, saying of the latter that Lunday’s efforts helped ensure a successful outcome for the proposal. “He’s been such a great person to have in our community. He’s served the city anytime we’ve asked him to do anything. I hate to see him leave,” Fugate said. Lunday said he will “always treasure” his time with Missouri State University, Missouri State-West Plains, and the community of West Plains. “The Lunday family considers the day we came to West Plains in 1993 to be one of the most fortunate days of our lives. West Plains is a very special place. I often tell visitors that if you like little places, West Plains is as good as it gets on planet earth. I stand in awe at the visionary leadership we’ve enjoyed over the years. “Missouri State-West Plains also is a very special place,” he
added. “I’ve always felt the university has a noble mission of providing quality higher education opportunities in a region of the state and nation that needs somebody to care. An expression we still use at the university is ‘Where Students Come First.’ I can assure everyone this phrase is not something taken lightly for publicity purposes; it is a truth that is practiced continually. Through thick and thin the campus has pressed on through the years, and with the resolve of many supporters, it continues to grow into its potential and destiny. I am truly honored to have been part of a faculty and staff that works smart, works hard and works together to get things done. Our students are the deserving beneficiaries of all we do, and that is absolutely wonderful!” Lunday said he and his wife will be moving to Nixa to be near their son and daughter-in-law, Aaron and Kim, who are expecting their first child in January 2015. “We are happy that timing and circumstances will allow us to be there to fulfill our grandparent duties,” he said. “Mary Beth is gifted in working with little children, and I believe her greatest mission in life is to be a grandmother. “Mary Beth and I have been genuinely honored to live and work in West Plains,” he added. “Our 21 years here have been personally rewarding and fulfilling. We’ve made friends here that we will never forget. In the final analysis, I consider myself to be a pretty lucky guy.”

The Searching for and Cutting Regulations that are Unnecessarily Burdensome Act – the SCRUB Act – provides a powerful, fair, bipartisan means to reduce the unnecessary costs of existing regulation: - Establishes a bipartisan, Blue-Ribbon, BRAC-style commission to review existing federal regulations and identify those that should be repealed to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens. - Sets the Commission’s goal to be the reduction of at least 15 percent in the cumulative costs of federal regulation with a minimal reduction in the overall effectiveness of such regulation. - Specifies that the Commis-

benefits produced for society within the United States). - Requires that annual and final Commission recommendations of regulations be presented to Congress for approval by joint resolutions of Congress. If Congress votes to approve the Commission’s recommendations, repeal must take place. - For any given regulation, the Commission is authorized to recommend either immediate repeal or repeal through “cutgo” procedures, whereby agencies, on a forward basis, would have to offset the costs of new regulations by repealing Commission-identified regulations of equal or greater cost. These procedures allow immediate repeal in the most urgent cases and staggered repeals of other regulations to assure a smoother process for agencies and affected entities.

When to See a Geriatrician
Dear Savvy Senior, What kinds of health problems do geriatricians treat? My mother, who’s 80, takes several different medications for various health problems, but she hasn’t been feeling herself lately. I’m wondering if she would benefit by seeing a geriatrician in place of her regular family doctor. Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring, If your mom is dealing with a variety of health problems and is taking multiple medications, a visit to a geriatrician may be just the antidote to help get her back on track. Here’s a breakdown of the different types of health conditions geriatricians treat and some tips to help you locate one in your area. Geriatric Doctors For starters, it’s important to know that geriatricians are fam-

ily practice or internal medicine physicians that have had additional specialized training to manage the unique and, oftentimes, multiple health concerns of older adults. Just as a pediatrician specializes in caring for children, a geriatrician is trained to provide care for seniors, usually over age 65. While most doctors, and even general practitioners, are trained to focus on a person’s particular illness or disease, geriatricians are trained to look at all aspects that can affect elderly patients – not just the physical symptoms. They also often work with a team of other health care professionals like geriatric-trained nurses, rehabilitation therapists, nutritionists, social workers and psychiatrists to provide care. And, they will coordinate treatments among a patient’s specialists. Patients who can benefit from seeing a geriatrician are elderly seniors with multiple health and age-related problems such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, confusion and memory problems, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, hypertension, depression, respiratory problems, osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic pain, mobility issues, incontinence, vision and hearing impairment, and trouble with balance and falls. Geriatricians are also particularly adept at tackling medication problems. Because many seniors, like your mom, take multiple medications at the same time for various health conditions, and because aging bodies often absorb and metabolize drugs differently than younger adults, unique side effects and drug interactions are not uncommon. A geriatrician will evaluate and monitor you mom’s medications to be sure they are
not affecting her in a harmful way. Geriatricians can also help their patients and families determine their long-term care needs, like how long they can remain in their own homes safely without assistance, and what type of services may be necessary when they do need some extra help. But not all seniors need to see a geriatrician. Seniors who have few health problems are just fine seeing their primary care physician. Find a Geriatrician Unfortunately, there’s a shortage of geriatricians in the U.S., so depending on where you live, finding one may be challenging. To locate one in your area, visit the American Board of Family Medicine website at theabfm.org where you can do a search online. Or use Medicare’s online Physician Compare tool. Just go to medicare.gov/physiciancompare and type in your zip code, or city and state, then type in “Geriatric Medicine” in the “What are you searching for?” box. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. Keep in mind, though, that locating a geriatrician doesn’t guarantee your mom will be accepted as a patient. Many doctors already have a full patient roster and don’t accept any new patients. You’ll need to call the individual doctor’s office to find out. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

James, 44 of Licking, MO. A 2011 Yamaha Motorcycle, operated by Kevin A. Warren, 29 of Licking, MO, struck Griffith in the roadway. The Yamaha travelled off the left side of the roadway, came to a stop and then left the scene. James was pronounced dead at the scene by Texas County Coroner Tom Whittaker. Griffith was taken by air ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Springfield, MO, with serious injuries. This was the 12th fatality for Troop G compared to 8 fatalities at this time in 2013.

Third place winners in the Championship, A, and B flights received a cash prize, and the third place C flight received gift cards. Chris Keifer won the longest putt contest. The longest drive winners were Delinda Lansdown and Dillon Crow. A “Vegas Par 3” closest to
the pin contest was hosted and sponsored by Missouri Sun Solar and Big Country 99. Winning the contest was Scott Crump. According to Jay Gentry, president of the TCMH Healthcare Foundation, the funds generated by the golf tournament will be used to fund scholarships for healthcare related educational fields and to provide resources for capital projects. “We filled all of the available team slots in the morning and afternoon rounds, and we received numerous sponsorships from individuals and businesses,” Gentry said, adding that a few late entry teams had to be turned away from the tournament. Gentry noted that a corporate sponsorship by the Missouri Foundation for Health along with support from many other businesses greatly aided the Foun-
dation in putting on a nice tournament for the participants. Gentry also thanked the numerous volunteers and the staff at Oakwood for their time and efforts on behalf of the Foundation’s tournament. The TCMH Healthcare Foundation is the non-profit organization with a mission to ensure the quality of healthcare services for children, women, and men at Texas County Memorial Hospital. Funding for the Foundation comes from grateful patients and their families, community members and groups, and businesses that value healthcare in our area. A board of community leaders from across the county directs the TCMH Healthcare Foundation and the funds held by the Foundation. The TCMH Healthcare Foundation plans to hold the golf tournament fundraiser again in 2015.

Mark Twain National Forest Eleven Point District wins conservation award USDA Mark Twain National Forest’s Eleven Point Ranger District, headquartered in Doniphan, Mo., was among several agencies March 13, 2014 recognized for their work to protect endangered species. The Missouri forest was presented two “Wings Across the Americas” awards, designed to recognize outstanding achievement in bird, bat, butterfly and dragonfly conservation. The yearly awards are given by USDA Forest Service’s International Programs. Mark Twain National Forest’s Eleven Point Ranger District received an award for bat conservation for their Bat Cave project. Bat Cave has the largest gray bat maternity colony on Mark Twain National Forest. The project involved installing a chute gate at one en-
trance, and a fly over gate at a second entrance so bats will have easy, and safe, access. Employees who were honored with the award include Kevin Cox, Anthony Lee and Angelina M. Trombley. Employees who received certificates for their contributions to the project’s success included Kelly Whitsett, Theresa Davidson, Bruce Gibson, Danny OlivasZuniga, Jason Stork, Erin Yeoman, Timothy Perren, Dana Sturgeon, Kyle Young and James Kaminski. “Our employees came up with a clever, and safe way to ensure the bats had access to the cave,” said Mark Twain National Forest Eleven Point District Ranger Tim Bond. “The creativity will ensure that the largest endangered population of gray bat maternity colonies on forest will have a safe place to raise their young.”
Mark Twain National Forest was also recognized for the first-ever Dragonfly Conservation Award, given to the Barton Fen Restoration Project, whose aim is to protect the federally-endangered Hine’s Emerald Dragonfly. Barton Fen, located on Mark Twain National Forest’s Potosi-Fredericktown Ranger District, is the site for one of the largest and most genetically-diverse populations of Hine’s Emerald Dragonfly. “In the 35 years I have been with the Forest Service, I have known only one forest to receive this award,” said Mark Twain National Forest’s Forest Supervisor Bill Nightingale. “To have two awards on one forest is unprecedented.” According to USDA Forest Service Associate Chief Mary Wagner, who presided over

the 2014 Wings Across the Americas Conservation Awards ceremony as part of the North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference, the awards recognize “outstanding work” to protect habitat for migratory species. “We work extensively in the winter ranges of many critical species to develop capacity to better manage the
winter homes for these animals—a small investment with a big impact,” Wagner said. “Despite their value, many birds, bats, butterflies and dragonflies unfortunately continue to face a multitude of threats.” Mark Twain National Forest is the largest public land manager in Missouri with 1.5 million acres in 29 counties in southern and central Mis-
souri. Mark Twain National Forest celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2014, continuing to restore Missouri’s great outdoors and maintaining a healthy, working forest.

‘Frog days’ of summer in Missouri Frogging can be practiced with either a fishing permit or a hunting permit The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages Missourians to celebrate summer with a favorite outdoor pastime for many frogging season. It begins at sunset on June 30 and ends October 31. Missouri has two frog species that are legal game - bullfrog and green frog. Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after. The taste and texture of frog meat is similar to that of fresh-water fish. For recipes, visit the MDC website at mdc.mo.gov/node/15131. Frogging can be practiced with either a fishing permit or a hunting permit. Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents over the age of 65 are not required to have a permit. The Wildlife Code of Missouri allows those with a fishing permit to 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 hunting permit, frogs may be harvested using a .22-caliber or smaller rifle or pistol, pellet gun, atlatl, bow, crossbow, or by hand or hand net. The use of an artificial light is permitted when frogging. The daily limit is eight frogs of both species combined. The possession limit allows you to store no more than 16 frogs at a time.
Once a frog is speared, it must be harvested. The Wildlife Code of Missouri prohibits the release of a speared frog as “wanton waste” because the animal is not likely to recover. Any frog taken into actual possession, unless immediately released unharmed after being caught, is included in the daily limit. For more information on bullfrog and green frog regulations, visit mdc.mo.gov/ node/10834.
