raped her. Graves moved out of the residence on May 16. On the morning of May 26 deputies were contacted by the Rogersville Police Department. They informed deputies that they were involved in a pursuit that morning with Graves. The pursuit was started when officers witnessed a female exit a Red HHR that was parked in the parking lot at a convenience store in Rogersville. The female reported to officers that she had been abducted and raped by Graves and that he had stolen her car. She was taken to Mercy

He attacked her with a black knife with a black blade and serrated edge. He allegedly held it to her throat and raped her. She stated that she was removed from her residence at 1 a.m. She stated that Graves wanted her to take him to Joplin to get a car that he had in storage. She stated that she got out of the car at Rogersville when she saw the police officer.

On May 30 deputies spoke with the victim who stated Graves told her he had been living in her house and in the crawlspace for the past few days. He told her about conversations that she had with individuals in her home. He also told her about watching her young son play video games in his room. After returning home she discovered the blankets in the closet of this room had been pushed away from the wall as if someone had been hiding in the closet. See Arrest on Page 8

Relay For Life June 17
Ozarks District Superintendent Reverend Lynn Dyke, voted unanimously 16-0 to close the church while offering the church building and property to the Missouri Annual Conference for the purpose of restarting the church. The last Sunday worship will also be the last service for Pastor Josh Ritzheimer. Pastor Ritzheimer explained that the church runs off the weekly offerings and whatever money people donate to the church. The reason behind the closure of the church is financial. Pastor Ritzheimer stated that he will be moving to Milan, Missouri to continue his ministry. “I have been graced with the welcoming attitude of so many people in the commu-
nity and the church. I have enjoyed my time here and I learned a lot that will help me further my ministry in the future.” He stated that the other two churches that he pastored Pleasant Grove and United Methodist in Birch Tree will remain open. The building being signed over to the governing body of the Methodist Churches of Missouri. There they will evaluate whether a restart is possible. Signs however look positive that this will happen in the future. Pastor Ritzheimer wanted to state that, “On behalf of the church, we have been graced with so many good experiences in the community and enjoyed the support of the community. It has been a blessing.”

“An unspoiled river is a very rare thing in this Nation today. Their flow and vitality have been harnessed by dams and too often they have been turned into open sewers by communities and by industries.

Missouri’s Photo Voter ID law in affect Thursday, June 1, 2017 marks the beginning of Missouri’s Photo Voter ID law. From this day forward, elections will be affected by this law change. While this new law makes changes to Missouri’s election day voter ID requirements, it is important to remember that if a voter is an eligible, registered voter, they can vote!
With the new law change, there are a few things to note: - While a photo ID is not the only form of acceptable identification, it helps ensure the identity of the voter. - Under Missouri’s new law, there are three ways a voter can cast a ballot at the polls on Election Day: Option 1: Provide a
Missouri issued Driver or Nondriver license, U.S. Passport, or Military ID Option 2: Provide a secondary form of identification, such as a paycheck or bank statement and sign a statement confirming their identity Option 3 - If the voter has no form of identification, but is a registered voter, they can cast a provisional ballot. There are two ways the vote counts: - If the voter comes back to their polling location before the close of polls on Election Day; OR - If the signature matchLast November, 63 percent of Missourians voted to sup- es the signature on file on port photo voter ID. As of June 1, Missouri’s new voter ID the voter registration rerequirements are now in effect. If you are registered to vote, cord. you can vote with a valid photo ID.

Small Business, Big Impact
Small Businesses. They are the driving force behind our economy and there is truly nothing small about them. 97.5% of all businesses in Missouri are “small” and there are nearly 20,000 small businesses in southeast and south central Missouri. Across America, small businesses employ over half of the workforce and create 7 out of every 10 new jobs. I have spent the last week meeting with small business owners and hosting public roundtables all across southeast and south central Missouri – hearing directly from these folks and talking about what can be done to get Washington out of their way. Over the last eight years, small businesses have been stifled by outrageous taxes and out of control government regulations. I met with one business owner in Cape Girardeau this week who told me about how federal regulations have made it harder for him to do business. He shared that when seeking a bank loan to grow his business, federal regulations made this process more difficult and more expensive, adding to the cost of doing business and slowing down their ability to grow. Another small business owner from Salem told me that as her small business grew and her bottom line improved, she was taxed at such a high rate, that her business would have been more profitable if she wasn’t as successful. With a system that punishes small businesses for growing, how can we expect this vital part of our economy to thrive and hire? Hearing directly from people who are struggling to get their businesses off the ground or keep them running really hits home. I want nothing more than to see small business owners in our district succeed, which is why I’m fighting for policies in Congress that will enable their success. Last Congress, I stopped a 2000% tax increase from devastating owners who were buying equipment for their small businesses. This year, I’m rewriting the tax code to reduce the burden for small businesses and am continuing to push for a tax system that is simpler, flatter and fairer. One of the things I love most about small businesses is how much opportunity they provide, it’s one of the best ways to live the American Dream. At my Small Business Roundtable in Hillsboro, one of the attendees, Tom told me that he started his welding business after he was laid off from another job. Since he started his own welding business, there hasn’t been a day where Tom didn’t have something to work on. But Tom also told me about the dramatic impact Obamacare has had on his business. When Tom started his welding shop, there was a small business group where you could buy affordable insurance, but that went away with Obamacare. Not having that option added a lot of costs to Tom’s small business. He was extremely grateful to hear that last month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation which would allow small businesses to ban together to buy insurance plans again! I hope my colleagues in the Senate understand how important this is to folks back home, and will vote to send this legislation to President Trump’s desk. Spending time with folks back home is the best way for me to see firsthand what these hardworking small business owners are facing. Our conversations this week will allow me to share their stories with my colleagues in Congress and take action to make Missourians lives easier!

Douglas County Sheriff's Department Report The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has had a very busy start to the 2017 year. In just 5 months, 2,150 Calls for Service have been logged and responded to, as well as 392 individuals arrested and booked through our facility. In those 5 months, Douglas County has seen a 72% decrease in Stealing calls, 41% decrease in DFS calls, a 36% decrease in Assault calls and a 17% decrease in Burglary calls. However, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has seen a 33% jump in Animal Related calls as well as a 25% increase in Ambulance calls. During the week of May 20, 2017 through May 26, 2017, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office answered 94 Calls for Services and booked and arrested 31 individuals into the jail. At this time there are 29 inmates in custody. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has had numerous phone calls daily about phone scams that are plaguing our area. The most common scam currently, is a phone app that I being used to disguise the scammers phone number to a phone number that appears to be from our area using the prefix 683 or 543. The unfortunate part, is by doing this, the scammer is actually using someone’s number without their knowledge to make their scam phone call. The scammer on the other end usually becomes hostile and at times vulgar if they are unsuccessful gaining the account number they wanted. Please be advised, by calling that number back, you will not get the scammer but the individual who actually pays the bill for that specific number that was provided. The National No-Call number is 1-866-662-2551 and the Buzz Off Line is 1-866-289-9633.

GOCAT programs still a go for the fall semester Despite damages caused by extensive flooding April 29, training programs offered through the Greater Ozarks Center for Advanced Technology (GOCAT) in West Plains are still a go for the 2017 fall semester, according to center officials. “Although the flood waters definitely slowed our momentum, we at Missouri State University-West Plains, as well as our partners at the South Central Career Center (SCCC) and the City of West Plains, are committed to having our workforce development programs at the GOCAT up, running, and even sprinting by the time the fall semester arrives in August,” said Dr. Dennis Lancaster, dean of academic affairs at Missouri State-West Plains. “The partnership’s ongoing focus is on preparing our residents for the workplace, working with our industry partners and meeting their customized training needs, and we’ll be doing just that come August.” Floodwaters rose to 26 inches throughout the recently renovated GOCAT facility on Howell Avenue, resulting in extensive equipment and material damage, according to Assistant Professor of Computer Information Systems Jim Hart, but salvage operations are underway. “Salvageable equipment is being restored to operational status to allow classes to begin on schedule for the fall semester,” he explained. Other equipment that cannot be salvaged will be replaced, some immediately and some over time, given available funding resources,
Lancaster said. “The primary aim is still to provide the highest, most advanced level of workforce training in the technologies and processes needed by our industry partners in the region,” he explained. “Although this has been a setback for us, we are pressing on because the need for these programs and courses were not swept away by the flood.” Classes offered through GOCAT include those leading toward the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Technology. The AAS in Technology has four optional study areas – Advanced Manufacturing, Alternative Energy, General Technology and Technology Management. Certificates in these study areas also are available through GOCAT, as is customized training for specific industry needs. Some of the courses scheduled this fall at GOCAT include Manufacturing Materials and Processes (TEC 111), Manufacturing Technology (TEC 165), Survey of Electronics (TEC 100) and Applied Electricity and Electronics (TEC 200), as well as hands-on laboratory work, Hart said. “Although many of the technology degree courses are offered online, GOCAT is the place where students meet with their instructors in an advanced technology lab environment to receive focused, hands-on training in the use of the latest technology for alternative energy and advanced manufacturing,” Hart said. “Since many of the jobs of the future do not yet exist, the GOCAT is the place where the fundamental building
MSHP: Troop G Memorial Day Enforcement Totals
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer, Troop G, Willow Springs, announces the following traffic totals for the Memorial Day holiday period. Troop G troopers participated in Operation C.A.R.E. (Crash Awareness & Reduction Effort) from Friday, May 26, 2017, through Monday, May 29, 2017, meaning every available trooper was on the road enforcing traffic laws and assisting motorists. Troop G reported no fatal traffic crashes, and investigated 23 traffic crashes resulting in six injuries. Also, troopers made arrests for 27 drug violations. Troop G troopers working on U.S. Highway 60 also participated in a special enforcement operation. Troopers assigned to this operation worked 12-hour shifts to patrol 20mile intervals on major highways and interstates in Missouri on Friday, May 26, 2016, and Monday, May 29, 2016. Troop G totals from this operation include: 165 - speed citations 32 - seat belt citations 2 - other hazardous moving vehicle citations 8 - non-moving citations 4 - no driver’s license citations 9 - uninsured motorist citations 5 - misdemeanor drug arrests 1 - felony drug arrest 1 - driving while intoxicated arrest 136 - warnings “We are fortunate no one lost their life on the roadways in Troop G this Memorial Day weekend,” said Capt. Inman. “Our troopers work very hard to keep the motoring public safe. Please do your part by resolving to be a safe driver.” The only 100 percent survivable 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.”
blocks of technology will be discovered and explored by students so success can be realized when the future jobs arrive.” Despite recent layoffs and plant closures in the area, state officials expect employment in the manufacturing sector in south-central Missouri to grow by 8.5 percent by 2022, with the total number of job openings coming from new growth increasing by 28.5 percent, according to Sheila Barton, project manager of Missouri State-West Plains’ Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Program, which provided partial funding for GOCAT. “Occupations are divided into ‘now,’ ‘next’ and ‘later’ categories based on the typical training and education required,” Barton said. “‘Now’ occupations usually require one to 12 months of on-the-job training. ‘Next’ occupations usually require more than one year of onthe-job training and can additionally need specific work experience. These occupations often require an associate’s degree or vocational certificate. ‘Later’ occupations usually require a bachelor’s degree or higher and may need specific work experience. Providing our students with a pathway to the anticipated growth in business and industry will not only meet the current needs, but also the ‘next’ and ‘later’ needs of the future. Having a prepared workforce will attract new businesses and industries now.” Some of the careers students who complete the degree and certificate programs can pursue include alternative energy entrepreneur, automated manufacturing technician, biofuels technician, electrician’s apprentice, field service technician, hydraulics and pneumatics technician, manufacturing technician, robotics technician, solar energy technician and wind energy technician, Hart said. University officials added the average salary of these types of positions statewide is $40,108, according to the Missouri Economic Re-
search and Information Center (MERIC) at the Missouri Department of Economic Development. “If you have a love of life-long learning, the AAS in Technology is the degree to pursue,” Hart said. “Technology is advancing at an exponential rate, as is

Social Security Advice for Soon-To-Be Retirees Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any services that help pre-retirees decide when to start drawing their Social Security benefits? My wife and I are approaching retirement age and want to carefully weigh our options to make sure we’re maximizing our benefits. Approaching Retirement Dear Approaching, Deciding when to begin collecting your Social Security benefits could be one of the most important retirement-income decisions you’ll make. The difference between a good decision and a poor one could cost you tens of thousands of dollars over your retirement, so doing your homework and weighing your options now is a wise move. What to Consider As you may already know, you can claim Social Security any time between the ages of 62 and 70, but each year you wait increases your benefit by 5 to 8 percent. But there are other factors you need to take into account to help you make a good decision, like your health and family longevity, whether you plan to work in retirement, along with spousal and survivor benefits. To help you weigh your claiming strategies, you need to know that Social Security Administration claims specialists are not trained or authorized to give you personal advice on when you should start drawing your benefits. They can only provide you information on how the system works under different circumstances. To get advice you’ll need to turn to other sources. Web-Based Help Your first step in getting Social Security claiming strategy advice is to go to SSA.gov/myaccount to get your personalized statement that estimates what your retirement benefits will be at age 62, full retirement age or when you turn 70. These estimates are based on your yearly earnings that are also listed on your report. Once you get your estimates for both you and your wife, there are many online tools you can turn to that can compare your options so you can make an informed decision. Some free sites that offer basic calculations include AARP’s Social Security Benefits Calculator (AARP.org/socialsecuritybenefits), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Planning for Retirement tool (ConsumerFinance.gov/ retirement) and SSAnalyze that’s offered by United Capital (BedrockCapital.com/ssanalyze). But if you want a more thorough analysis check out Maximize My Social Security (MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com) or Social Security Choices (SocialSecurityChoices.com), which both charge $40. These services, which are particularly helpful to married couples as well as divorced or widowed persons, will run scenarios based on your circumstances and show how different filing strategies affect the total payout over the same time frame. Personal Advice If you want human help, there are specialized firms and financial advisors that can advise you too. One such firm is Social Security Solutions (SocialSecuritySolutions.com, 866-762-7526). They offer several levels of web-based and personalized service (ranging from $20 to $500) including their $125 “Advised” plan that runs multiple calculations and comparisons, recommends a best course of action in a detailed report, and gives you a one-on-one session with a Social Security specialist over the phone to discuss the report and ask questions. Or, you can get help through a financial planner. Look for someone who is a fee-only certified financial planner (CFP) that charges on an hourly basis and has experience in Social Security analysis. To find someone, use the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors online directory at NAPFA.org, or try the Garrett Planning Network (GarrettPlanningNetwork.com), which is a network of fee-only advisers that charge between $150 and $300 per hour. 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.
Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) Foundation will hold its First OMC Dice Run of the Mills on Saturday, June 10. Each year, this fundraiser will be used to raise money for a specific need of one of the departments of OMC. This year, the need that was identified is an attachment for OMC’s 4D Linear Accelerator to treat breast cancer when the tumor is located close to the heart and lungs. The Dice Run is open to motorcycles, cars & trucks. Cost to enter is $20 per vehicle. Riders can begin the route any time after registration, which will be 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at OMC Parkway Center. To participate in the dice game, dice scoring cards can be purchased for $5 each. T-Shirts and koozies will be available for purchase at both registration and the Lot Party. The public is invited to attend the Lot Party at Great Rivers Distributing, located on Highway 63 in Pomona, even if they are not participating in the Dice Run. The Lot Party will open at 1:00 p.m. with food trucks, a cash bar, a silent auction, and vendor booths. The rock band Fender Bender will begin at 2:00 p.m. and will play throughout the afternoon. Dice Run Awards will be announced at 3 p.m., and the 50/50 drawing winner and si-
OMC Dice Run of the Mills Map lent auction winners will be announced at 4 p.m. “What better way to raise money for a wonderful cause than to have a little fun while doing it,” said Ward Franz, Director of the OMC Foundation. “The Dice Run is a 122 mile ride that will have stops at Dawt Mill, The Antler, Hodgson Mill, Rockbridge, and Twin Bridges, and then end at a Lot Party at Great Rivers Distributing. It’s a way to showcase the beauty of the Ozarks and invite riders to join local riders in experiencing all the Ozarks has to offer,” he said. For those unfamiliar with the rules of a dice run, five dice will be rolled at each of the six Dice Roll Stops. The
player’s score will be recorded on their dice scoring card. A prize will be awarded to the winner of each stop for highest roll (at Dawt Mill, Rockbridge, and Twin Bridges) and lowest roll (at The Antler, Hodgson Mill, and Great Rivers Distributing). The grand prize of $100 will be awarded to the participant who has the highest overall dice roll score after all six rolls. Consolation prizes will be awarded for lowest overall score, oldest motorcycle driver or passenger, and for the person who traveled the farthest to compete. Sponsors for the event include Great Rivers Distributing, Outpost Motorsports, Q94 Classic Rock, Bartlett
Moving Services, and Lazy W Pallets. Vendors at the Lot Party are Outpost Motorsports, Q94 Classic Rock, Bikers Against Child Abuse, OMC Cancer Awareness, US Cellular, and Red Calf Designs. Food trucks at the Lot Party are The Bus Stop and McClard’s Boro Dogs.

Nature photography workshop June 10 at Thousand Hills
For anyone who loves to photograph nature and wants to learn more, the answer is the “Nature Photography Is Easy” workshop June 10 at Thousand Hills State Park near Kirksville. The workshop will be held from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in the park’s enclosed shelter. Beginning and amateur photographers can bring their camera (even a camera phone), along with its manual for tips and tricks on how to turn a snapshot into a masterpiece. After learning some tips, the course will move outside, weather permitting, so everyone can put their new knowledge to the test. The program is free but spaces are limited. Please call the park to register. The course will be repeated on Saturday, Sept. 2. Missouri State Parks is celebrating 100 years in 2017. Visitors can experience all the park system has to offer with the Centennial Passport. Visit mostateparks.com/passport for more information. Thousand Hills State Park is located two miles west of Kirksville on Hwy. 157. For more information and to register for the event, call the park at 660-665-6995. For more information on state parks and historic sites, visit mostateparks.com. Missouri State Parks is a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Letter to the Editor:
The Ozark Chapter of Newborns In Need were saddened to hear the Dollar Store has closed in Mountain View. We want to publicly thank them for the donations we have received through their store since it has opened. They had a basket on the checkout counter for customers to purchase items for us. We have received approximately 300 items from them. These were things that we couldn’t provide because of the cost. Bottles, baby wash and lotion, socks, pacifiers are some of the items. We want the owners and public to know how much it was appreciated. Jeanne Roles, President Ozark Chapter
