Recycle bags to be limited for city residents
Mtn. View
Due to an increased cost of blue recycle bags that the city distributes, city residents will only receive one roll per month instead of two beginning August 1, 2015. City Administrator Mike Wake stated that the bags are free to city residents but due to increased cost they must limit the number of rolls of bags they give out. "One roll of bags would allow residents between two and three bags of recycle trash per week. There are approximately ten bags per roll." The City of Mtn. View only charges $10 for trash and recycle pickup. Wake suggested that residents pickup their rolls of bags when they come in to pay their utility bill.
The Mtn. View City Council approved the city budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016. The $7.4 million budget was approved by a motion from Jeff Wade, seconded by Larry David with an all-in-favor vote from the council. The biggest change in the budget for the City of Mtn.

City approves budget, salary increase View was a raise for city employees. The raise was a 5 percent increase. "Last year we did a little bit, but it wasn't even a straight percentage across the board," explained City Administrator Mike Wake. "It's been about three years since we have done a straight across the board raise." As for the rest of the budget
Wake stated that the city ended $343.83 in the black. "We cannot pass a budget if it's in the red so it's great that we were able to get to this point." The budget included various items such as a $230,000 transfer from the general revenue fund to the parks and recreation fund. "The parks and recreation includes the parks, city pool and golf
course. Those departments needed that much transferred to make their budget balance," explained Wake. "The revenue generated by the parks in all three departments will generate about $152,000. Most of that comes from the golf course which generates $134,000 and the pool See Budget on Page 5

Jurassic World
West Plains Bank to sponsor FREE Pool Day For the sixth consecutive year, area children and adults will have an extra day to swim this summer, free of charge. Wednesday, July 8, is West Plains Bank and Trust Company Free Pool Day at the West Plains Aquatics Center, from Noon to 7 p.m., and Mountain
View Municipal Pool, from 1 to 5 p.m. All area residents are encouraged to take advantage of free admission during these times. According to West Plains Bank and Trust Company President and Chief Operating Officer David M. Gohn, children and adults
will be admitted free of charge. “For the sixth year in a row, the Bank will offer an extra day of swimming at no charge as an opportunity for a little summer fun. Our hope is this event will provide an opportunity for area residents to enjoy time at these city facilities we are so fortunate to have in our communities,” he said. “As a locally owned, locally managed bank we appreciate the area residents who make our success possible. We encourage everyone interested to take advantage of West Plains Bank and Trust Company Free Pool Day.”
When rumors and whispers began a few years back that Steven Spielberg was working on another installment of the extremely successful ‘Jurassic Park’ series, many fans began jumping for joy. The wait is finally over. ‘Jurassic World’ has brought in over 500 million dollars since it’s opening, and it’s finally our film of the week. Following the disaster at the original Jurassic Park a new investor decided to help develop a new theme park that featured much better security to ensure the safety of park goers. The new park is extremely successful under the watchful eye of Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard). Fearing the attraction is growing stagnant, ownership decides to introduce a new bio-engineered dinosaur named Indominous Rex. With only weeks to go before the big reveal, a last minute security failure threatens to destroy the entire park, along with every person in it. Chris Pratt has seen his star power increase over the past several years and he takes on the lead role of Owen Grady, a dinosaur enthusiast who has been training a pack of velociraptors in a secret compound on the island. Unfortunately an InGen bureaucrat Vic Hoskins (Vincent D’Onofrio) tries to force him to field test them against human targets in enemy territories. Grady has no desire to use the animals in that capacity, so he refuses which greatly angers Hoskins and leads to a climactic face off eventually. Overall, I really loved this movie. As tiresome as some CGI films have become nowadays, the special effects and animatronics used in this film franchise have always stayed ahead of their time and have managed to bring these amazing creatures to life for us on the big screen. The screenplay is well written, the ensemble cast does a nice job in their respective roles, and the direction of Colin Trevorrow is top notch. Of course the true stars of these pictures are the dinosaurs, and years after the original film debuted, they’re still as awe inspiring and entertaining as ever. My oldest nephew was a dinosaur fanatic when he was young, and it was a thrill for me to watch his excitement as the giant dinosaurs lit up the big screen. That being said, I clearly have a fondness in my heart for these movies, and even though my nephew is way too cool for dinosaurs now, watching this film brought back many of those memories. The filmmakers and producers did a terrific job of keeping a wonderful film franchise up to date and a whole lot of fun. 4 out of 5 stars!

Senate leaders comment on Supreme Court decision on state marriage bans On Friday, June 26, the U.S. Supreme Court announced the latest in a series of opinions that expand the reach of the federal government into areas historically within the domain of individual states. The Court’s ruling on Obergefell v. Hodges opines that the federal government has the power to determine the essential nature of marriage in all 50 states, notwithstanding the decisions of citizens in those states as approved by voters in law and in their own state constitutions. “This decision has strong bearing on the ability of the citizens of our state to establish by public vote the social constructs under which they will live,” said Senate Leader Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles. “In 2004, the citizens of our state voted overwhelmingly to put into the Missouri Constitution a definition of marriage that reflected the history and traditions
of Western civilization for centuries. Now, a handful of lawyers in Washington, D.C. have decided that they know better and that citizens are incapable of determining such important questions under their own state laws and constitutions.” In 2004, by more than a 70 percent margin, voters approved a change to the Missouri Constitution, stating that “to be valid and recognized in this state a marriage shall exist only between a man and a woman.” “We are deeply concerned about the ripple effects of this decision. Will certain religious organizations and people of many different faiths now have to choose between violating their deeply held beliefs or risk being dragged into court?” said Majority Floor Leader Ron Richard, R-Joplin. “The Constitution of the United States which every member of the Supreme Court is sworn to
Allmeroth named MoDOT's State Maintenance Engineer Becky Allmeroth, who has served the Missouri Department of Transportation for the past 19 years, has been named state maintenance engineer following the retirement last month of Beth Wright. Allmeroth is a 1995 graduate of the University of Missouri- Rolla (now Missouri S&T). She started her MoDOT career as a highway designer in Willow Springs. In 1996, she transferred to the St. Louis District where she has worked in planning, federal aid and traffic. For the past six years, Allmeroth has served as maintenance and traffic operations engineer for the St. Louis region.
“In my new role, I am most excited about working on helping our statewide maintenance supervisors improve the efficiency of their work,” said Allmeroth. “With the reduction in funding for transportation and reduced level of maintenance, we have got to help them better plan, track and improve their work processes while allowing them to get out in the field more. We have a plan to make their jobs easier, and I am looking forward to get that moving.” Outside of work, Allmeroth and her husband have three sons who are active in scouts and swimming.
uphold specifically reserves powers not explicitly given to the federal government to the individual states. Elections have consequences. We can have majorities in both Chambers, but until we get a president who will appoint Supreme Court Justices who will fight for states’ rights, we will be left with insufficient authority.” “It is ironic to note that in the Court’s rush to unearth a Constitutional right to redefine marriage (heretofore undiscovered
American Greatness: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness This Fourth of July will mark 239 years since 56 brave patriots from the original 13 colonies declared America’s independence from Great Britain. In the Declaration of Independence, American colonists recognized that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The list of grievances with Britain was long and included standing armies kept among the colonies during peace time, taxes levied on the colonies without any representation in Britain, and colonists being denied trial by jury. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, one year after the Revolutionary War first began. Ultimately, the Revolutionary War gave rise to the greatest country in the world and our continued pursuit of democracy. Nearly one hundred

years ago William Tyler Page, a descendant from a signer of the Declaration of Independence, summed up what it means to be an American with his American’s Creed. This Independence Day, amid the barbeques and fireworks, let’s take a few minutes to reflect on his words: "I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. "I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies." Have a safe and happy Independence Day!

Fluoride Clinic in Mtn. View July 11 Good Samaritan Care Clinic in Mountain View will be offering free fluoride varnish applications at the clinic office on Saturday, July 11, from 9 am until NOON. Children age 1 through 12 are eligible to receive this service, regardless of their insurance status. Appointments are not necessary, but children must be accompanied and registered by a parent or legal guardian. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children who are at a moderate to high risk for dental caries should receive a professional fluoride treatment at least every six months. This is especially effective for children who lack fluoridated water, have a history of caries, snack frequently on foods containing sugar, or have a medical problem that decreases caries resistance. Fluoride varnish is a
protective coating that is painted on teeth to help prevent new cavities and to help stop cavities that have already started. It is safe and can be used on infants from the time they have their first teeth. Appropriate use of fluoride is part of a comprehensive oral health plan for infants, children, and adolescents. The clinic is able to offer this free service because of a generous donation from Mercy Hospital in Lebanon,
MO. Trained medical and dental volunteers from Good Samaritan Care Clinic will be applying the varnish under the guidance and in partnership with Dr. Scott Bowden, DDS from Mountain View. The clinic is located at 501 W. US Hwy. 60, next door to the First Baptist Church of Mountain View. For more information contact Good Samaritan Care Clinic at 417-934-6500. No appointment is needed, but supplies are limited.

Missouri State Board of Governors to approve 2015-2016 budget Missouri State University’s operating budget for 2015-16 will be about $274 million, up approximately $11 million from the current year. Friday (June 26), the Missouri State Board of Governors is expected to approve the operating budget for fiscal year 2016, which begins July 1 and runs through June 30,
2016. The budget increase will be funded in part by a 1.5 percent increase in state appropriations, continued enrollment growth and modest increases in nonresident and graduate tuition and fees. Missouri State sees biggest increase of any state university
The General Assembly included a performance and equity increase for all public four-year universities in the state. The average increase was 1.3 percent and Missouri State will receive an increase of 1.5 percent. “Because of our successful achievement of all of our performance measures, and because the General
Assembly included an equity component to the increase, we are receiving a 1.5 percent core funding increase,” said Missouri State President Clifton M. Smart III. “This is the largest percentile increase for any of the public four-year universities in Missouri this year. “That is a tribute to our entire campus community, especially our very talented and dedicated faculty. Meeting the performance measures, as well as increasing enrollment, are two key factors in increasing our funding each year.” Almost $4 million budgeted toward raises, new positions A large portion of the increase in the budget will be dedicated to
significant investment in the compensation package to faculty and staff for fiscal year 2016. The Board is expected to approve a 1.8 percent pay increase for full time faculty and staff and various compensation initiatives during the June meeting. Among the compensation initiatives are $800,000 for new salary positions and $67,300 to provide the Full Professor Incentive Program to 10 additional faculty members.. This continues the Board’s commitment to improve compensation for faculty and staff. “Increasing compensation for our employees remains a priority both for the Board and for my administration,”
said Smart. “We are not where we want to be with salaries yet, but have made good progress and this is yet another positive step forward.” Modest increases in student fees were approved in March In March, the Board approved an increase from $204 to $205 per credit hour for undergraduate resident tuition and an increase of approximately 2 percent in undergraduate tuition for out-of-state students and graduate students. The Board also approved a $10 per credit hour increase in regular internet-based classes and an $11 increase in student services fees.

Family Nurse Practitioner joins Alton Medical Clinic
Simplified Cellphones for Seniors with Hearing Problems Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some basic simplified cellphones for seniors with hearing loss? My 82-year-old father needs to get a new cellphone for occasional calls or emergencies, but he needs something that’s easy to use and one that he can hear on. Looking Around Dear Looking, There are several simplified cellphones on the market today that are specifically designed for seniors – including those with hearing loss. These are basic cellphones that come with big buttons, easy to navigate menus, SOS emergency buttons, enhanced sound and are hearing aid compatible too. Here are some top options. Senior-Friendly Phones If your dad isn’t locked into a cellphone contract, there are three senior-friendly options to consider, all from no-contract cellphone companies. One of best is GreatCall’s Jitterbug5 (greatcall.com, 800-918-8543). This custom designed Samsung flipphone offers a backlit keypad with big buttons, large text on a brightly colored screen, and “YES” and “NO” buttons to access the phone’s menu of options versus confusing icons. It also offers voice dialing, a powerful speakerphone, a built-in camera, and a variety of optional health and safety features like the “5Star” medical alert button that would let your dad call for help and speak to a certified agent 24/7 that could identify his location and dispatch help as needed. “Urgent Care,” which provides access to registered nurses and doctors for advice and diagnoses. And “GreatCall Link,” which keeps family members informed through your dad’s phone activities. The Jitterbug5 sells for $99 with a one-time $35 activation fee, no-contract, and calling plans that start at $15 per month. If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, the Doro PhoneEasy 626 sold through Consumer Cellular (consumercellular.com, 888-345-5509) is an excellent option. This flip phone offers a backlit, separated keypad that can speak the numbers as you push them, which is a nice feature for seniors with vision problems. It also has a big easy to read color display screen that offers large text with different color themes. Other handy features include two speed dial buttons, shortcut buttons to texting and the camera, a powerful two-way speakerphone, and a ICE (in case of emergency) button on the back of the phone that will automatically dial one preprogramed number. The Doro 626 sells for $50 with service plans starting at $10 per month, and no long-term contract. They even offer discounts to AARP members. Another budget-friendly cellphone you should look into is the Snapfon ezTWO for seniors (snapfon.com, 800-937-1532), which costs under $20, with a $35 activation fee, no-contract, and monthly service plans that start at $10. If you don’t want the Snapfon service plan (you can go through AT&T or T-Mobile), the phone is $80. This is a bar-style phone that provides big buttons, a color screen, enhanced volume with a speaker phone, a speaking keypad, and an SOS emergency alert button on the back of the phone that can sound an alert when pushed and held down for five seconds. It then sends a text message to as many as five emergency contacts and calls those contacts in order until the call is answered. Or, for an additional $15 per month you can subscribe to their SOS monitoring service that will dispatch help as needed. Shared Plan Options If you want to get your dad a simple cellphone through your cellphone provider, most carriers – like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile – still offer a few basic cellphones that are inexpensive and hearing aid compatible. If you’re an AT&T customer the option is the “LG A380.” For Verizon users, there’s the “Samsung Gusto 3” and “LG Revere 3.” If you’re a Sprint customer there’s the “Kyocera Kona” and “Alcatel OneTouch Retro.” And for T-Mobile users there’s the “LG 450.” 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.

Invasive Species - The emerald ash borer is a narrow, metallic emerald-green beetle about one inch long. (Photo courtesy of MDC) over 20 years. The gypsy moth, whose caterpillar voraciously feeds on the leaves of oaks and over 250 other trees and shrubs, has been slowly moving across the eastern U.S. and has become established in northeastern Iowa and northern Illinois. The pine shoot beetle, which tunnels inside of new shoots of pines, has been found in five counties in northeastern Missouri. There are many places in northern Missouri that are destinations for outdoor recreation, such as Union Ridge Conservation Area and Thousand Hills State Park, and many people enjoy having a campfire or use wood to heat their homes. However, bringing firewood from long distances may also
bring unwanted pests that can seriously damage the natural resources we enjoy. "One thing that all of these forest pests have in common is how easily they can move to new places via the movement of firewood," said Lawrence. "Various stages of these pests are hidden on or under bark. The best way to avoid introducing these pests to new areas is to obtain and burn firewood locally." MDC urges everyone to get firewood locally near where you will burn it. Moving firewood less than 10 miles from its origin is best.
