Council seeks Shannon Co. volunteers for advisory committee The City of Mtn. View is seeking volunteers to participate in an advisory committee. The committee will be responsible for drafting a city ordinance regarding nuisance properties within the city limits of Mtn. View. The committee is to consist of seven people and will meet until the new ordinance has been drafted, presented to council and approved. The need for this committee was discussed at a council meeting held on Monday, May 23 where several business owners were present to express their disapproval of council adopting a new nuisance ordinance that involved businesses. The original nuisance ordinance was adopted in November of 2006. Discussions were held about legal issues, terms and the general over extension of power of the nuisance ordinance towards businesses. Some of the highlights of the nuisance ordinance included: - vertical walls that lean or buckle to such an extent they are unsound - Show 33 percent or more damage or deterioration of the supporting member or members or 50 percent damage or deterioration of the non-supporting enclosures or outside wall coverings - improperly distributed loads upon the floors or roofs - damaged by fire, wind or other causes so as to become dangerous to life Other issues discussed was the need for a building inspector if this ordinance were to pass. Council members decided it would be in the best interest of the city and business owners if they had a committee put together to modify the nuisance ordinance before it was brought before council for a vote. Those that are interested in volunteering for the committee can contact city hall at 417-934-2601. Requests will be accepted until June 13, 2016.

Alumni Echo Bluff State Park set Banquet to open July 30 in Eminence set for July 2 by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com
Missouri's 88th state park, Echo Bluff, is set to open on July 30. The park, located in Shannon County, began as Camp Zoe. The camp was originally established in 1929 as a youth camp and spanned 57 years until it closed in 1986. In 2004 Jimmy Tebeau purchased the camp nestled on 370 acres. Camp Zoe featured concert stages in a natural amphitheater setting and boasted a site capacity of 10,000. An annual music festival known as "Schwagstock" was held on the weekends of May, June
MDC
and September. The camp also promoted "Springjam" music festival in April and a "Spookstock" music festival in October. In 2011 Tebeau was indicted by a federal grand jury on one felony count of operating premises for the facilitation of illegal drug use and a forfeiture claim on the campground. According to allegations in the indictment, "Tebeau consciously managed the concerts and campground for the specific purpose of facilitating the distribution and use of multiple controlled substance by the concert patrons." Along with the filing of the indictment, See Park on Page 2

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) says fifteen seconds of fame garnered from “reeling in” an 83-pound catfish wasn’t earned by the man who made many news outlets last summer with an 83-pound catfish. After a lengthy investigation, a Missouri conservation agent proved the story wasn’t completely true. Anthony Stacy of Farmington pleaded guilty last week in Reynolds County to two counts of illegally shooting flathead catfish with bow fishing equipment. One was the 83-pound catfish spread across the news and the other

On Saturday, May 28, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.), Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, visited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA to meet with CDC Director Thomas Frieden and discuss the agency’s Zika response efforts. “There are over 900 confirmed Zika cases in U.S. territories, and nearly 600 travel-associated cases in the continental United States,” Blunt said. “This is a public health threat and an emergency. The Senate
has responded accordingly, passing bipartisan legislation that provides targeted resources for vaccine development, mosquito control, diagnostic tests, emergency preparedness, and public health outreach. I appreciated the opportunity to see firsthand how CDC is responding to the Zika outbreak, and will continue working to protect all Americans.” Earlier this month, the Senate approved, on a 6830 vote, an amendment Blunt offered with Labor/ HHS Subcommittee Ranking Member Patty Murray (Wash.) to provide $1.1 billion for Zika response

2014. The fate for Camp Zoe was sealed as the State of Missouri acquired the land in November of 2013. The property was purchased for $640,000 after being sold at auction by the United States Department of Justice. The State of Missouri also acquired 80 acres adjacent to Camp Zoe for $450,000 to complete the park's necessary design. Developing the park cost approximately $52 million, which is being paid out of several existing Missouri State Parks fund sources. Additionally, $10 million of the cost for roads within and around the park, as well as a bridge across Sinking Creek, is being offset by a Community Development Block Grant received by the Shannon County Commission. The property abuts the Roger Pryor Pioneer Backcountry, roughly 65,000 acres, owned by the L-A-D Foundation. Echo Bluff State Park will

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

Helping Missouri’s Elderly and Disabled
This Session the General Assembly was able to advance a piece of legislation that addresses an issue I’ve been working on for 12 years now. House Bill 1565 is an effort to expand Medicaid access to thousands of elderly and disabled Missourians over the next few years by modifying the asset limits for potential program participants. Working from 2018 through 2021, HB 1565 would increase the asset limits for MO HealthNet blind and disabled claimants from $1,000 to $5,000 for individuals, and from $2,000 to $10,000 for married couples. This means that single and married individuals looking to qualify for Missouri Medicaid will now be able to hold a larger amount of savings and still qualify for coverage. Elderly and disabled individuals should not be forced to spend down their assets in order to receive medical assistance from the state. Our at-risk citizens can almost always use more money in their savings accounts, and HB 1565 allow them to save up for actual costs and emergencies. With the extra savings, our at-risk citizens will be able to afford expensive medical supplies, home and appliance costs, auto repairs and other necessary expenses. Many elderly residents of the Show-Me State have had to do things like spend down their assets before moving into nursing homes. It doesn’t make sense that an older, at-risk citizen should have to deplete his or her savings before being able to receive much-needed assistance. House Bill 1565 is a cost-effective way to help our state’s residents who need it most. These people are often on the brink, in terms of both medical and financial stress, and this bill will simply help give them some additional security. It is estimated that the new asset caps would add approximately 10,000 Missourians to the state Medicaid program through 2022 – at an affordable cost of around $45 million. The bill is currently on the governor’s desk, awaiting approval. 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.

Bully in Chief
Nobody likes a bully. We ask our public schools not to tolerate bullying and we teach our children to stand up for what is right in the face of intimidation. Yet President Obama is acting like a bully when it comes to the recent directive to public schools across this country regarding sexual identity. Much like a bully, President Obama threatened the use of force and intimidation over federal support dollars for public schools if his way, his ideology, is not followed, adhered to, and implemented. However, aside from his intimidation tactics the President’s actions are flagrantly unconstitutional. First, he chose to issue a directive which has no force of law and was also completely dismissive of our separation of powers and the legislative branch. To be clear, no discussion was had, no effort to work out our differences through a public debate was made, nor opportunity to sit down, discuss the issue and work towards a solution with the legislative branch occurred, none at all. Further, his directive attempts to undermine the 10th amendment of the constitution over non-compliance with federal education law under Title IX that prohibits sexual discrimination in school programs under that section. His goal in this effort was to empower federal bureaucracies, in this case the Departments of Justice and Education to enforce this edict so they could completely redefine “sex” to mean “gender identity”. Further, the President’s threat to withhold public education funding flies in the face of so many speeches, press conferences, and campaign rallies where he emphasized the importance of education to prepare our children to become the tolerant economic leaders of the 21st Century. And, on several occasions, the President stressed education as the bridge between social and economic differences within our country. Often the only way to respond to a bully is to stand tall and firm on your ground. As such, I have helped co-author new legislation that blocks the Department of Education and Department of Justice from tying federal funding of local schools to compliance with this directive. Additionally, we have also co-drafted a complete defunding of this new order from the President, blocking any federal taxpayer dollars from being used to enforce it. I have heard from a number of people about their outrage over this issue and understandably so, the public schools in our communities should not be bullied into abiding by policies that the majority of people do not agree with, especially when there are no constitutional grounds for them, zero. The parents, teachers, and administrators that have reached out to me with their frustration is exactly what I would have expected, because they know you have to stand up to a bully if things are ever going to change. However, maybe that bullying would be better received if it was actually used on nations which house our terrorist enemies or declare they are going to bring war on the United States, and not here at home in our schools. With 230 days left in office, it is clear that President Obama is using every second he has left to enact his liberal agenda against the will of the American people and despite our constitutional framework. I intend to do everything in my power to stop the President from threatening the safety and decency of the overwhelming majority of children in public schools across Southeast and south central Missouri and our nation. We are right to stand up to bullies, arguably it is an inherent American trait, but the only assurance we have to deal with in standing together now is that we all know in very short time this bully can easily be ignored.

Douglas County Sheriff's Department Report During the week of May 23 to May 31, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office answered 101 Calls for Service and arrested 19 subjects. There are currently 22 subjects incarcerated in the Douglas County Jail and one being held out of county.

Our goal is to make Douglas County a safe place to live and raise our children. In order to accomplish this, we must be able to control the illegal drug activity in Douglas County by removing those involved in the illegal drug trade from the streets. We must then assist them with getting into a treatment program to give them the best opportunity to succeed.

Black bear travels nearly 400 miles across southern MO A three-year-old black bear sighted in Whitewater Friday morning is a reminder to southeast Missourians to be “Bear Aware” according to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). Whitewater resident Phillip O’Kelly saw the bear with his daughter on their front porch, but when the bear heard humans, it took off, he said. “It was probably about 100 feet from the porch,” O’Kelly said. “I came out to look at it and as soon as it heard our commotion it turned around to run off.” O’Kelly said his property is surrounded by woods and is a place where his family enjoys seeing wildlife of all kinds. “He wasn’t aggressive, was just looking around and he definitely wasn’t hurting anything,” O’Kelly said. “I hope people just let him be.” O’Kelly noticed the bear was wearing a collar and ear tag, so the family contacted the MDC’s Southeast Regional Office to report the
sighting. “I’ve been tracking this bear and watched it trek about 400 miles across the southern part of the state,” said Jeff Beringer, MDC resource scientist who leads the Missouri Black Bear Project. Beringer’s research confirms multiple bear sighting reports made to Bollinger County Conservation Agent Jeff Scott this week, were all related to the same bear as he traveled through the area. The Missouri Black Bear Project has entered its second phase. First, biologists trapped and radio-collared bears across southern Missouri. This helped them to estimate how many bears are in the state. Now the biologists are measuring survival and reproductive rates of female bears as well as keeping track of survival of firstyear cubs. “This bear probably left Christian county because his mother ran him off and because young male bears have an instinct to move and find
unrelated females,” Beringer explained. “Not all bears move this far, but long dispersals are common for male bears.” Beringer said the bear sighted in Whitewater was originally captured when it was 18-months-old in Christian county, where it wintered. Sometime the following year, the bear traveled to Warren County where he denned. “This spring, a landowner took pictures of him and sent them to me and I noted the collar and knew he was a long way from home,” Beringer said, adding that studying the animal’s movements gives MDC an opportunity to see how bears use corridors and other physical barriers like roads and rivers. Beringer said the bear was recaptured and given a new collar in May and has since traveled on its own to southeast Missouri. “He’s probably looking for a female and I expect he will settle down somewhere this summer, since
he’s three-years-old now,” Beringer said. Beringer said this bear sighting is a good reminder for Missourians to be “Bear Aware” by making efforts to keep bears wild. Residents should ensure bird feeders are put away, trash is kept out of reach and any pet food is stored inside at night. “A fed bear is a dead bear,” Beringer said. “Bears are creatures of habit, so if they find they can get a free meal somewhere, they’re likely to stick around and that’s when they get into trouble.” O’Kelly said although he enjoyed seeing the bear, his property doesn’t have things sitting out that might make the bear stay. “It’s neat to see a bear in real life, instead of on televi-

sion,” O’Kelly said. “He was a cute bear to look at, but we hope people let him be and he can travel on and stay out of trouble.”

The New MIND Diet May Help Prevent Alzheimer's Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that there’s a new diet that can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. What can you tell me about this? My 80-year-old mother has Alzheimer’s and I want to do everything I can to protect myself. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, It’s true! Research has found that a new diet plan – called the MIND diet – can have a profound impact on your brain health as you age, and can even lower your odds of getting Alzheimer’s disease. The MIND diet takes two proven diets – the hearthealthy Mediterranean diet and the blood-pressure lowering DASH diet – and zeroes in on the foods in each that specifically affect brain health. The MIND diet, which stands for “Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay,” was developed by Martha Clare Morris, a nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University Medical Center, through a study funded by the National Institute on Aging. The study followed the diets of nearly 1,000 elderly adults, who filled out food questionnaires and underwent repeated neurological testing for an average of 4.5 years. It found participants whose diets most closely followed the MIND recommendations had brains that functioned as if they were 7.5 years younger, and it lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by as much as 53 percent. And even those who didn’t stick to the diet perfectly but followed it moderately well reduced their risk of Alzheimer’s by 35 percent. The MIND Menu The MIND diet has 15 dietary components. The emphasis is on eating from 10 brain-healthy food groups, and limiting foods from five unhealthy groups. Here’s a rundown of the healthy foods you should work into your diet: • Green leafy vegetables (like spinach and salad greens): Eat at least one serving per day. • Other vegetables: At least one other vegetable a day. • Whole grains: Three or more servings a day. • Nuts: Five one-ounce servings a week. • Beans: At least three servings a week. • Berries: Two or more servings a week. • Fish: Once a week. • Poultry (not fried): Two times a week. • Olive oil: Use it as your primary cooking oil. • Wine: One glass a day. And the five unhealthy food groups you should limit include: • Red meat: Eat fewer than four servings a week. • Butter and margarine: Less than a tablespoon daily. • Cheese: Less than one serving a week. • Pastries and sweets: Less than five servings a week. • Fried or fast food: Less than one serving a week. Other Benefits One of the best things about the MIND diet is that it’s easer to follow than most other diets and you don’t have to stick to it perfectly to gain the benefits, which makes it more likely you’ll follow it for a long time. And the longer you eat the MIND way, the lower the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Another advantage is that the MIND diet can help you lose some weight too, if you keep your portions in check and are careful about how the food is prepared. It’s also important to understand that even though diet plays a big role, it’s only one aspect of Alzheimer’s disease. So get regular exercise, if you smoke, quit, and learn how manage your stress to lower your risk even more. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

For years, heart problems have brought Donald Smith face to face with his Mercy cardiologist. During his recent visit, however, the doctor never set foot in Donald’s exam room. “Oh, he was definitely there,” said the 74-year-old from Willow Springs, Missouri. “I sat there, looking at him and he was looking at me, talking just like he would if he were in the room with me. It was just like any other visit I’ve had – but virtual.” Smith made the same short, familiar drive to Mercy St. Francis Hospital for his regular visit with Dr. Paul Freiman. This time, it was through a one-on-one video connection, powered by Mercy Virtual. “It’s very much like the real thing,” said Dr. Freiman. “Instead of one stethoscope, we’re using two – Donald’s nurse in Mountain View is holding one and the other is in my hands, in Springfield. I’m able to get precise readings on breathing, heartbeat and more.” “At first, it was strange to think that he was listening to my heart, lungs and everything,” Smith said. “He’s about 100 miles away. It’s just unbelievable.” Bluetooth technology allows for a secure video and audio connection between
the two electronic stethoscopes. Data is simultaneously uploaded into Mercy’s electronic health records. “I can do everything in real time – review old charts, records, lab work and test results,” Dr. Freiman said. “That data is then easier to access during Donald’s next visit, saving him valuable time. In turn, I’m able to see more patients during the work day. It’s a win-win.” The virtual visits, launched this spring, are already saving patients from traveling hundreds of miles to see a specialist for chronic cardiac diagnoses like heart disease and heart failure. In Smith’s case, it’s COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). “It makes me very susceptible to pneumonia, so I need to meet with the doctor a lot to make sure my medicines and care plan are up to speed,” Smith said. “And I really don’t like to drive a long ways. Mercy has made things a whole lot easier.” Primary care doctors or hospitalists must make the referral for Mercy Virtual. At the moment, Dr. Freiman is offering virtual visits with cardiac patients once a month, but plans to expand on that. “Patients absolutely love it,” said Dr. Martha Colville, hospitalist at Mercy St. Fran-

cis Hospital. “We’re thrilled with any opportunity to provide excellent specialty care and better access.” In addition to telecardiology, Mercy St. Francis Hospital is also synced up with Mercy’s Virtual Care Center, the only center of its kind, in St. Louis, Missouri. Doctors hundreds of miles away are able to provide an extra set of eyes to the medical surgical depart-
ment in Mountain View. “And we’re just getting started,” said Dr. Randy Moore, president of Mercy Virtual. “In today’s world, a cardiologist might only be available in a community once a month, and traveling can take up valuable time. With virtual care, our goal is to get patients the care they need right away – any day of the month.”

New 2016-17 school immunization requirements The diseases that vaccines prevent can be dangerous, or even deadly. Vaccines reduce the risk of infection by working with the body’s natural defenses to help it safely develop immunity to disease. Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection, but this “imitation” infection does not cause illness. It does, however, cause the immune system to develop the same response as it does to a real infection so the body can recognize and fight the vaccinepreventable disease in the future. Sometimes, after
getting a vaccine, the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms, such as fever. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity. There are new immunization requirements for the 201617 school year. Don’t wait to schedule your child’s immunizations. The Howell County Health Department offers several immunization clinics each month. Call today to make an appointment before school starts in August. Call 417-256-7078 to schedule an appointment.

who want their catches to be ethical. That’s what makes a good outdoorsman and that’s the kind of legacy we need in order to keep Missouri as a great place to hunt and fish.” For more information on fishing regulations in Missouri, go online to mdc. mo.gov/fish.
