Buck Nelson in Space .... The Moon and Venus Last week we traveled to Mars with Buck Nelson. This week Buck leaves Mars and heads for the Moon and Venus: “We got back into the space ship and the gauges were set, this time to gradually get the ship ready for the moon’s pressure. THE MOON “Our next stop was the light side of the moon. Again we went to the ‘rulers home’ and we ate a meal there. This rulers home was built in a crater. The first room we entered seemed to be right next to the ‘rulers’ home’. It had a telescope. “The quarries on the moon furnish rock for building on other very old planets where the surface has disintegrated into soil. There wasn’t any vegetation on the light or earth side of the moon. The water in the homes could have come from the snow in the mountains. These homes were clustered around huge hangers used for a base...I was told that...the Earth is the only planet in the solar system that does not travel from one planet to another. “I was told that there
were rivers and lakes on the dark side of the moon, but I didn’t see them when we stopped there because it was very hazy, but I could see the mountains...On this second stop on the moon we ate again. Although we had just eaten a meal at the first stop, we did full justice to it too. Plenty of food and sleep seemed to be necessary. “I took a good look at a building so that I wouldn’t get lost, as I was in strange territory but Big Bo, the spaceman’s dog, went with Teddy and me. The spacemen had not directed Bo to go with us, not in words anyway, but I felt he was taking care of us. Children played with several sized dogs. They rode Big Bo like a pony and he would play with them too.” Clarence Trowbridge was a neighbor of Buck’s during the ‘40s and ‘50s. “Our mail boxes were together and I would usually get Buck’s mail when I went for ours,” Clarence said. “The dog, Teddy was mine, when I moved to Kansas City, in the ‘50s, Buck asked if I would leave the dog with him.”
Clarence told us that when Buck moved into the area in 1942, the people were suspicious of him. “I guess it was because he lived alone and didn’t talk much. That was during the war years and people were always afraid of German spies.” Buck had shown Clarence his police I.D. and pictures like he had Carl Crank. “I think that he was some kind of private investigator at one time,’ Clarence said, “he must have traveled all over the world, because he would show films of his travels at the old Mt. Olive Church at the end of “NN” highway.” Clarence remembers Buck in much the same way as Ed Gimpel does. “I’d have to
agree that Buck was a loner, although he received mail from people from all over the world, this was true even before the Space Craft Conventions.” VENUS “Again we took off in our spaceship and sometime later we landed on Venus. A watch would have been magnetized, so it would have been of no use on the trip or afterward. I simply lost all track of time so I had no idea how much later it was when we landed on Venus. “On Venus we again made two stops. Each time was at a ‘rulers home”. I saw three moons and it was just about as light as day on earth, though hazy and cloudy.
Entrepreneur of the Year During EPIC, OzSBI’s Small Business Week celebration on May 2nd, the Entrepreneur of the Year was recognized. Thirteen businesses were nominated for this prestigious award that recognizes an entrepreneur, who has demonstrated strong business growth, innovative business practices, and community contributions and involvement. This year’s winner was Chad Sisco of Paintmas-
ter’s Collision and Repair. Chad’s business has increased tremendously over the last 5 years, as he has expanded from collision repair and parts, to including U-Haul rental, tire sales, used auto sales, and oil and lube services. Chad recently moved his business from Rover to a new 6500 sf building in Alton. Congratulating Chad is Michael Hoff, OzSBI Board Member and Chad’s mentor.
Putting Safety First In June, with the support of President Trump, we acted to give US Customs and Border Protection more resources to secure our border by making it easier for them to hire our brave military veterans and law enforcement officers. Last week, we continued the work to enhance security by advancing Kate’s Law which will keep Missouri and all Americans safe from the danger of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. At the same time the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act was passed which increases penalties for Sanctuary Cities and disqualifies them from receiving some federal funds. These bills build on the work I have already started by authoring legislation to stop even more federal funds from going to dangerous Sanctuary Cities like San Francisco. Juan Lopez-Sanchez had seven felony convictions and had been deported five times before he shot and killed Kate Steinle on a pier in San Francisco in 2015. I’m saddened it took losing a great American like Kate for people to realize that we cannot allow Sanctuary Cities to ignore federal laws, but I’m glad we are finally led by a President prepared to take this issue as seriously as I am. Named for Steinle, Kate’s Law establishes new maximum sentences for illegal immigrants who try to reenter the United States after being convicted of a felony. My vote for Kate’s Law last week was another step to keep our families, friends and neighbors safe. Over 300 cities and counties like San Francisco have policies to stonewall the federal government and prevent the Department of Homeland Security from effectively enforcing our immigration laws. But we are a nation of law and order, and cities that actively work against the law of the land should face consequences. In addition to Kate’s Law, I voted for the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act last week because it is a step in the right direction by making Sanctuary Cities ineligible for certain federal support. I will continue to fight for my legislation which goes even further by fully disqualifying any Sanctuary City from federal transportation dollars. I know the only way we will see real change from Sanctuary Cities is if we force them to operate without federal funds. Only then will they realize their need to comply with federal immigration laws. The bottom line is, cities and counties that fail to work with us to make America safe cannot be trusted with federal funds. Sanctuary Cities that harbor criminals like Juan Lopez-Sanchez and protect them from the full reach of federal law must be completely cut off from federal funding until they are ready to comply with federal immigration laws. It is the number one responsibility of your federal government to provide for the defense and security of this great nation. Fourth of July served as a great reminder to us all of how fortunate we are to live in a free and open country - it is important we take the steps needed to fully keep safe the American families and children who call her home.

Farming is a way of life for most in the 33rd District, and Missouri as a whole. Over the years local, state and federal programs, initiatives and legislation have both helped farmers and ranchers - and at times hampered their way of life. Recently, an international decades-old ban was lifted that will have a positive impact on the cattle farmers in our region, and across the country. In early June, a nearly 14-year ban on American beef exports in China came to an end when President Donald Trump signed an agreement to allow beef producers in the United States to export their products to China. The United States Department of Agriculture explained that cattle producers can begin shipping certain products to China. China imports $2.5 billion in beef every year and exports from our country are expected to increase over time. This agreement will be a tremendous asset for Missouri agriculture. Currently, Missouri ranks in the top three states for cattle production, with one in 10 Missouri jobs being related to agriculture creating an estimated $88 billion economic impact. Chinese beef imports totaled 601,000 tons before the American export ban. At that time, the United State supplied 80 percent of the beef. Agriculture is Missouri’s No. 1 industry. This agreement will not only benefit farmers across the state, but countless residents and farmers in the 33rd District. I am glad to see the president has supported and worked with the Chinese government to allow this export. Any local, state or federal initiative that will support industry and have a positive impact on the economy, especially farmers, is something I can and will support. I anxiously await the benefits beef exports to China will have on our region. 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.
“The homes were also built of rock with steel-like interiors. “The ‘ruler’ at one stop was painting and wore overalls. His overalls didn’t have all of the buckles and hooks which ours do and they were made of different material. “At one of the stops on Venus there were three cars parked near the house which we entered. These cars looked a good bit like our new ones, except that they had no wheels of fenders. They skim along 3 to 5 feet off the ground and are powered the same as the spaceships. They are not made to go out into space. They are made to be used just as we use a car. Having this type of car eliminates the need for roads. No roads, no police force, no jails, no government building and no wars. It isn’t hard to understand why their taxes campare to ours like a nickle compares to a hundred dollars. When I started connecting this saving to the fact that the things they use are built to last forever, so much longer than ours and that sickness is almost unknown, then it wasn’t so hard to understand why they work only about an hour a day and never more than three hours. “Though we only stayed a possible 20 minutes at each stop on Venus, Bucky managed to show me what I called a ‘Book machine’. When a book was put into it, it would read the page, play music or show any picture it contained. It was about the size of a television set. “At each of the two homes on Venus was a clock showing a face of 17 numerals. The numerals has sort of the general appearance of Chinese writing, but I am more inclined to think of them as hen scratchings...They told me there were 17 hours a day and 17 hours a night and that their hours compared favorable with ours. “We ate a meal at both stops on Venus, though here

again, as on the moon, the time was very short between stops. The food consisted of meat, milk, eggs, fish, many kinds of salads and also many cooked vegetables. I recognized corn positively, because it was not broken up in the cooking. “Though we slept a great deal while traveling, the space men talked to me also and told me about the way of life on the other planets. On July 3, 1958, the following news story appeared in the Mountain View Standard News: “A crowd of around 1000 people attended the Space Craft Convention at Buck Nelson’s farm, near here last week. The group included newsmen, photographers, space fans and curiosity seekers. “There were representatives of Space Craft organizations from many sections of the country. “The speakers for the Convention gave fascinating accounts of their experiences in space travel. A Detroit man told of his numerous contacts with space people whom he accompanied on 21 trips into outer space, according to a report from the Convention. “Another speaker said his job was ‘lecturing and promoting scientific programs concerning aerial phenomena’. He said that he saw a space ship land in the Mojave Desert in 1957. The speaker seemed certain that space peole are observing the affairs of earth. He further reported that thousands of people have reported sighting flying saucers.” (This speaker was probably ex-Army Officer, Major Wayne Aho. B.R.) See Part 4 In Next Week’s Publication

INCIDENTS Tuesday, July 4, 2017 A female subject reported her rural U.S. Postal Box was damaged by what appears to be a improvised explosive device during the nighttime hours of 7-3-17 to early morning of 7-4-17.

MSHP announces 2017 Operation Dry Water enforcement results
Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, announces the results of enforcement efforts to detect impaired boat operators in conjunction with the national “Operation Dry Water” campaign. This is the ninth year for the national effort to reduce impaired vessel operation by highlighting enforcement efforts. Troopers conducted saturations and worked extended shifts to bring heightened awareness to the issue of boating while intoxicated. Troopers arrested 15 people statewide for boating while intoxicated, contacted 856 vessels and 2,745 boaters, and issued 146 boating violation summonses and 1,238 warnings. Marine operations troopers also issued 86 summonses for non-boating violations during the 2017 Operation Dry Water weekend. Special enforcement operations will continue throughout the summer months. Boaters are reminded that designating a sober operator is always the safest bet if alcohol is going to be included in their boating experience. Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!

Dr. Veronica Amey-Perrin joins Ozarks Medical Center Neuropsych Unit New Medicare Cards Debut Next Year Dear Savvy Senior, I just received my Medicare card in the mail and was surprised to see that the ID number is the same as my Social Security number. I know it’s a bad idea to carry around anything that displays my Social Security number because it makes me vulnerable to identity theft. Wasn’t the government supposed to stop putting Social Security numbers on Medicare cards? New Beneficiary Dear New, Many people new to Medicare are surprised to learn that the ID number on their Medicare card is still identical to their Social Security number (SSN). After all, we’re constantly warned not to carry our SSN around with us, because if it gets lost or stolen, the result could be identity theft. But the card itself tells beneficiaries to carry it with you when you are away from home so you can show it at the doctor’s office or hospital when you need medical care. Here’s what you should do to protect yourself. New Medicare Cards For starters, you’ll be happy to know that the government is in the process of removing SSNs from Medicare cards, but with 58 million beneficiaries, it’s a huge undertaking that will be implemented gradually. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will start sending the new cards in April 2018, but it will take until December 2019 before SSNs are removed from all cards. Under the new system, a randomly generated 11-character Medicare Beneficiary Identifier will replace the SSN-based health claim number on your new Medicare card, but your Medicare benefits will not change. You will receive information in 2018 letting you know about the new Medicare card, with an explanation of how to use the new card and what to do with your old one. You can start using your new Medicare card with the new number as soon as you receive it, and there should be a transition period in 2018 and 2019 when you can use either the old card or the new card. Protect Your Identity Until your new Medicare card is issued, here’s what you can do to protect your SSN on your current card. The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a national consumer resource on identity theft, recommends that you carry your Medicare card only when you visit a health care provider for the first time, so the provider can make a copy for their files. Otherwise, make a photocopy of your card and cut it down to wallet size. Then take a black marker and black out the last four digits of your SSN, and carry that instead in case of an emergency. If your Medicare card does happen to get lost or stolen, you can replace it by calling Social Security at 800-7721213 or contact your local Social Security office. You can also request a card online at SSA.gov/MyAccount. Your card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days. If your Medicare card that contains your SSN gets lost or stolen, you’ll need to watch out for Medicare fraud. You can do this by checking your quarterly Medicare summary notices for services or supplies you did not receive. You can also check your Medicare claims early online at MyMedicare.gov (you’ll need to create an account first), or by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. If you spot anything suspicious or wrong, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800447-8477. Also, watch for other signs of identity theft. For example, if someone uses your Social Security number to obtain credit, loans, telephone accounts, or other goods and services, report it immediately to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov (or 877-438-4338). This site will also give you specific steps you’ll need to take to handle this problem. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Dr. Veronica Amey-Perrin recently joined Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) Neuropsych Unit in West Plains.

Jenee Lieruance, APRN wins Ozarks Medical Center's third DAISY Award Jenee Lieruance, a nurse practitioner at Ozarks Medical Center (OMC), was awarded the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national recognition program through the DAISY Foundation. OMC has partnered with the DAISY Foundation. Quintin Adolphson, LPN and Dona Fuller, RN were the first two OMC nurses to receive the award. Lieurance’s nomination by Jana Brill, RN, Nurse Manager of OMC Neuropsych Unit, recognized her for making a meaningful difference in patient care. “We have a patient who had been admitted to our unit many times in the past four years for depression and suicidal thoughts after the death of their child. In treating this patient, Jenee found out that the patient had never had a memorial service for their child,” said Brill on her nomination form. “Jenee arranged a small memorial service in the unit. She brought in four balloons to be released in memory, and

Don’t forget about immunizations for the upcoming school year Summer is a busy time for us all; the kids are out of school and everyone has vacation on their mind. It can be easy for us to push the upcoming school year to the back of our mind, but don’t let the summer months get away from you without lending thought to your child’s school vaccinations! Kindergarten, eighth grade and twelfth grade are all milestones for immunizations and require vaccinations. There are also some additional vaccines, such as the Gardasil
and Hepatitis A vaccines, which are recommended for your school-aged child. As always, any of these vaccines can be received at the Howell County Health Department and they are more than happy to answer any questions about any shots. If you are not sure whether our child is up-to-date or not, feel free to give the health department a call at 417-256-7078 and they can check for you. Make your appointment today to beat the back-to-school rush.
70 degrees and over, don’t take rover With temperatures nearing 100 today and extreme heat continuing throughout the week, the Humane Society of Missouri asks you to include the following pet safety reminders as you issue hot weather advisories to your readers. Any time the temperature is above 70 degrees… NEVER leave a pet in an unattended car. Animals left in hot cars can die in just minutes. Keep pets inside if pos-
sible. If a pet must be outside, make sure they have access to continuous shade and fresh water. It’s easy to remember the Humane Society of Missouri’s life-saving tip: 70 Degrees and Over, Don’t Take Rover! If you see a pet in distress in an unattended car immediately call the local police and the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Hotline at 314647-4400.

ONSR offering two managed deer hunts at Big Spring Two managed deer hunts will be conducted in October and November 2017 at Big Spring. These hunting opportunities are being extended to special groups of the nation’s population, our youth and military service members with service-related injuries. The youth hunt will be held October 7 and 8. Anyone interested in applying for this hunt must apply online through the Missouri Department of Conservation at www.mdc.mo.gov/managedhunt. The Managed Deer Hunt application period for this hunt is July 1 through July 31. A total of 10 randomly selected youth will be allowed to harvest 2 antlerless deer with a center-fire rifle.
The Big Spring Mobility Impaired Managed Deer Hunt in partnership with the Foundation for Exceptional Warriors (The FEW) will be held November 4 and 5. This hunt is open to all current or honorably discharged military members with permanent mobility impairments. The physical condition must severely impair movement, such that assistance of a wheelchair, braces, crutches, or similar mobility aids may be required. Ten hunters will be randomly selected to participate in each hunt. Center-fire rifles will be the only weapons allowed and must be in accordance with Missouri hunting regulations. Each hunter may take two deer,
including one antlered deer, during the hunt. Hunters are asked to provide their own personal assistant, or one will be provided. Applications for the Mobility Impaired hunt can be found on-line at: www.nps. gov/ozar/planyourvisit/hunting-fishing.htm. Applications must be completely filled out and include a letter from a physician verifying the applicant’s physical condition. Completed application packets must be received by close of business, Friday, October 6, at Park Headquarters at 404 Watercress Drive in Van Buren. Mailing address is as follows: Ozark National Scenic Riverways, ATTN: Kim Houf, P.O. Box 490, Van Bu-
ren, MO 63965. According to Superintendent Larry Johnson, “We are pleased to once again offer these unique recreational opportunities.

Genevieve, and Washington. According to event organizers, there will be three hunts offered on each field, including one or two on opening day of dove season (Sept. 1) and then one or two other days. Those dates are yet to be determined. Each field will be limited to two first-time hunters and their mentors per acre to maximize safety and provide a quality experience. Priority will be given to anyone 11 and older who is hunting for the first time. Second priority will be given to new migratory bird hunters and youths 11-15 who may have previously hunted doves. Field assignments will be
determined on a first-comefirst-served basis. First-time hunters can attend multiple hunts as registration space permits. Each participating new hunter will be assigned a mentor and are encouraged to attend a pre-hunt workshop or a hunter-education course prior to participating in a hunt. Workshops provide basic hunter safety in addition to information about dove biology and management, the importance of hunters and hunting, and the opportunity to practice shooting a shotgun.
