Centennial programs planned at Big Spring See Page 1

Centennial programs planned at Big Spring Ozark National Scenic Riverways will offer cultural demonstrations and workshops at Big Spring during July as part of the celebration of the 2016 National Park Service Centennial. Each of these activities will be held on Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Programs will provide an opportunity for visitors to experience aspects of the Ozark cultural heritage, including the resourcefulness and creativity of the Ozark settlers.

• July 16 – Pottery Workshop: Local potter David Porter will demonstrate pottery making using a kick wheel.

Participants will have an opportunity to use the kick wheel to create their own piece of pottery.

• July 23 – Corn Husk Dolls Workshop: Corn was an essential crop on the early Ozark farmsteads. Corn was used in a variety of ways, but perhaps the most enjoyable was the making of corn husk dolls. Participants will be able to create their own doll.

Missing man’s Tests confirm eighth, ninth body found travelers infected with Zika virus in Drury area The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services confirmed two additional cases of Zika virus both in non-pregnant females. One travelled to Jamaica and the other to Haiti.

Nearly 80 percent of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms.

Typically, symptoms are mild and include fever, rash, joint soreness and/or redness of eyes.

International health officials have found a connection between pregnant women contracting the virus and a birth defect called microcephaly in their newborn infants. According to the CDC, babies with microcephaly often have smaller head sizes and brains that might not

Charges re-filed in death of WP man There is still no closure for a family who lost their husband, father, brother and friend on April 22, 2015.

David L. Riley, 32 of David L. Riley West Plains tragically lost his life in an accident that occurred on Hwy. 17, 1 mile North of Junction Hill School.

The accident was reported at 4:35 p.m. by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. According to those reports Kevin M. Stephens, 34 of Pomona was reportedly traveling Southbound

when he crossed the center line and struck Riley's vehicle. Riley was pronounced deceased by Howell County Coroner Tim Cherry.

The evidence at the scene indicated Stephens did not attempt to avoid the crash, apply any braking or take any evasive action in an attempt to avoid the collision. The Major Crash Investigation Unit #3 was called in to reconstruct the crash.

Later on an investigative subpoena was issued for Stephens medical records from Cox Medical Systems of Springfield. The toxicology results upon his admission for treatment of his injuries indicated

Stephens was under the influence of the following controlled substances: Amphetamines, Methamphetamine, Canabinoids and Opiates. Multiple doctors and staff members addressed the need for follow-up care due to his polysubstance drug use. A doctor at the hospital stated, "He is obviously not safe to go out in the community with the circumstances that brought him in. He was clearly under the influence of drugs."

Stephens has multiple convictions for driving while intoxicated and driving while revoked. His current driving status at the time of the crash was revoked.

Stephens was arrested on November 24, 2015 for involuntary manslaugh- Kevin M. Stephens ter and held on a $10,000 bond. He bonded out on January 20, 2016.

After several months the prosecuting attorney's office dropped the charges and refiled them in an attempt to bring some closure to the Riley family.

Stephens was arrested on Friday, July 8, 2016 on a Howell County warrant for involuntary manslaughter-1st degree. He was released per court order on 7-8-16 and is to appear in court on 7-8-16.

The trial will take Page 5 Obituaries place at the Howell County Page 6 Reports Courthouse at 9 a.m. with Page 7 Reports

Judge Truman Wiles presiding.

The incident began on May 4, 2014 after Jason McClurg, then 35 of Winona called 911 reporting that he had located his wife, Stephanie, unresponsive at their residence on Roberts Lane. When first responders arrived, Stephanie McClurg was deceased.

The Winona Police Department along with the

Missouri State Highway Patrol conducted numerous interviews related to the investigation. Jason McClurg had stated during initial interviews that he had taken their son to see family and when he returned home he found his wife deceased.

He also reported at that time that he had Propranolol (a blood pressure medicine) stolen from but he did not report the medication stolen or make any attempt to refill the prescription.

During interviews, a subject reported to officers that on Saturday, May 3, 2014 Jason McClurg had told them that he mixed a combination of Kool-Aid and a large number of pills to give to his wife to “get rid of her”. He later told the subject that it did not work. The subject stated to officers that on May 4, 2014 Jason McClurg advised that he had given her an additional quantity of medications and he was going to

check on her. Jason McClurg called the subject back a short time later stated StephanieMcClurg that his wife was deceased.

Later, Jason McClurg described to officers how he made the Kool-Aid drink in a water bottle while he was in Winona for the drive to Springfield. Once with his wife, he gave her the KoolAid to drink telling her to pretend she liked it because their two-year-old child had made it for her.

Additional interviews resulted in several subjects confirming that Jason McClurg had described to them about how he was trying to poison his wife.

McClurg is currently being held on charges of murder-1st degree and escape or attempted escape from custody while under arrest for a felony.

On Friday July 1 Douglas County Sheriff Chris Degase, Douglas County Deputies and Wright County Deputies recovered the remains of Bobby Buttram in the Drury area of Douglas County. Buttram had been reported missing for nearly two week out of Wright County.

On the evening of June 29 a land owner in the area of Drury located Buttram’s vehicle on a logging road in the area. Sheriff Degase, Wright County Sheriff Glenn Adler, and Deputies searched the area well into the night with no success in locating Buttram. The vehicle was impounded and processed.

On July 1, 2016 authorities returned to the area with the assistance of the Area G K-9 team where the remains identified as Bobby Buttram’s were located within an hour of beginning the search.

Buttram’s remains were discovered approximately ¼ to ½ mile in a heavily wooded area from where the vehicle was located. At the time of discovery there were no signs indicating Buttram did anything but walk to where his remains were discovered.

Buttram’s remains were sent for an autopsy with the initial results discovering no signs of trauma, gunshot wounds, or knife wounds to indicate any type of foul play. Authorities are now awaiting the results of a toxicology report.

Items seized from the vehicle have been described as suspicious by Sheriff Degase. Both the Wright County Sheriff’s Office and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a joint See Missing on Page 8

Local man in regional contest

Local businessman Josh Young is competing in a regional contest to win his son a chocolate lab.

Young entered a picture in a Sport Dog contest around a month and a half ago. Each entrant was allowed one picture per house and had to have children between the ages of 8 and 18. The entrant also had to be a member of a non-profit organization and the picture must show the entrant doing something in the outdoors.

Young sent in a picture of himself and his son, Cy Young, age 12, who are both Delta Waterfowl Riceland Chapter members. The picture was of Cy with his first Mallard Duck while hunting at Last Call Hunt Club. The hunt club is in Corning, AR and owned by Alley Springs Park Service Agent Chris Figge.

A Sport Dog official notified Young on Thursday, June 23 that his picture was one of three finalist for the chocolate lab. The other 2 finalists are from New Jersey and Louisiana.

The picture with the most “votes” will win the puppy and a grand prize package estimated at $5,000.

Voting is going on now through August 1, 2016.

OMC Behavioral Healthcare partners with myStrength Facts Matter As Americans we are proud of our country and always sensitive when tragedy strikes one of our communities. We band together, believe in prayer, and are often generous with financial contributions to help rebuild. And, often when tragedies do strike we instantly ask – “how did this happen?” It’s a natural reaction when we obviously care for one another, but it also leads us to seek the truth and factual information about the situation. Unfortunately, politics often complicates these tragedies because all too often opinions are ready to be given based on ‘solutions’ to an agenda. However, those reactions often take meaning from the truth and reality of what occurred. Quite frankly, I believe this has been occurring too frequently and the tactics that are employed to achieve an agenda are sickening.

Liberals in the House of Representatives used similar tactics when they tried to use recent events in this country to limit law abiding American’s second amendment rights – they knew their sit in, use of photography on the House Floor and their actions were all against the rules of the House, but they didn’t care. I watched as they ushered themselves into the U.S. House chamber with their own cameras to voice their protest and read statements blaming firearms, not terrorists or those who illegally obtain firearms for the tragedies. Unfortunately, just like their counterparts in the Administration they have also ignored straight forward answers and facts when it comes to gun violence.

For instance, they often demonize assault weapons as the root cause of the violence, however they never mention that assault weapons are fully-automatic weapons that have been illegal to import and manufacture to the general population since 1986. They also fail to realize that the semi-automatic weapons they reference are actually the same type of firearm that hunters and sportsmen, like myself and thousands of others in Missouri and across the country own, and ironically in some cases this is the same type of semi-automatic weapon used to control wildlife populations in our national and state parks both of which liberals often support. They also never provide the honest and straightforward answer that nearly 5 times as many people are killed each year by blunt objects or beaten to death at the hands of an assailant than are killed with a rifle of any kind.

Most dishonest however, is when the Liberals blame guns for the driving force behind homicides in the country. In reality, more than 60% of homicides are suicides and these often involve mental illness, which is a serious issue that many of us are trying to work together on in a bipartisan way. In fact, just this week, I offered my support behind legislation to mitigate the shortage of psychiatric beds and child psychiatrists in this country to better address the symptoms of mental health disorders before they turn into catastrophic actions.

These are the facts and straight forward answers we aren’t getting from the liberal left or the media when it comes to the truth about our second amendment rights. And the reason is simple, because they want to use recent events around this country to promote their agenda of impeding on the constitutionally protected rights guaranteed to all law abiding citizens. Offering compassion or generosity to one another in a time of need or sorrow is something we can be proud of as Americans. And, I believe we do have a great deal to be proud of, especially who we are and our unique form of government, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of something so cheap as television ratings and political posturing.

FEMA urges Missourians to use smartphone app to prepare for severe weather, disasters The summer months can bring natural disasters to Missouri, including tornados and floods. To help people prepare, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is urging residents to download and use the FEMA smartphone app.

FEMA officials are available for interviews to discuss the importance of preparing for severe weather, and how specific features contained in the app can help families stay safe and recover from disasters.

The app includes: • An interactive checklist of items needed in an emergency that can save lives • Immediate severe weather alerts for up to five counties nationwide, so a family

knows what is happening in their community and also places where other family members live • A list of shelter locations, which is rapidly updated when disaster strikes and steps survivors can take to get disaster assistance The latest version of the FEMA app is available for free in the App Store for Apple devices and Google Play for Android devices.

Next Wednesday, July 13, will mark two months since the adjournment of the Second Regular Session of the 98th General Assembly. During this past session, I introduced 12 bills, two of which ended up successfully passing on to the governor. Of those two pieces of legislation, one has been signed into law and one is still awaiting his signature.

The road a bill travels to become law is a multilayered one with many “checkpoints” the bill must pass before reaching its final destination. That final stop signifies the governor’s signature or veto, and this year’s deadline for the governor to take action on a bill is Friday, July 15. Any pieces of legislation that were truly agreed and finally passed by the Senate and House that the governor does not sign or veto by next Friday’s deadline will automatically become law.

During the 2016 Session, the Senate introduced 653 pieces of legislation, and the House 1,637 – totaling almost 2,300.

The General Assembly truly agreed and finally passed 149 of those pieces of legislation on to the governor’s desk – 63 from the Senate and 86 from the House. The governor has since signed 102 of those bills into law, and has fully or partially vetoed only 17 pieces of legislation so far.

My two pieces of legislation, which were agreed and passed by the General Assembly, are Senate Bill 613 and Senate Bill 932.

Senate Bill 613 permits volunteer fire protection agencies to apply for workers’ compensation insurance grants through the state fire marshal’s office. The grants would be disbursed based on the number of volunteer firefighters filing workers’ compensation benefits from the previous year. This bill, which will help the brave men and women who volunteer for our families’ and communities’ safety, is still awaiting approval from the governor.

Senate Bill 932, which was signed into law on July 1, modifies several provisions relating to bonded entities such as federal credit union verification requirements, home loan bank collateral handling and certain regulations for public notaries.

One more successful piece of legislation passed this session was Senate Resolution 2216. This establishes the Senate Interim Committee on Long-Term Care Facilities, for which I was appointed chairman. The Committee’s goal is to study and make recommendations on improving Missourians’ access to the long-term care industry, and to present a report on recommendations to the General Assembly by Dec. 31, 2016. The committee will begin its investigations in September.

For the few bills I was able to successfully pass and have signed into law, there were even more that died in the Senate and House before ever reaching the governor’s desk. Three pieces of legislation died during their time in the House, either because of a lack of adequate time for debate, or because the bills became too heavily amended and died under their own weight. I dropped two because the constituents requesting them asked me to no longer pursue their passage, and the remaining four I introduced this session I dropped under the threat of extensive filibuster from the opposition, which would have wasted precious time spent on other bills.

As I said before, the lawmaking process is complex, fastpaced and requires the government to synchronize many moving parts and keep each part in check. I am proud of the work my fellow senators and I were able to accomplish this session. I now look forward to reconvening for veto session beginning Sept. 14, where the General Assembly comes together to reassess legislation vetoed by the governor to either change or drop the bill.

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.

Grizzly Volleyball team, 6 players receive academic honors from NJCAA The 2015 Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Volleyball team and six players recently received academic honors from the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

The team was named one of the NJCAA’s 2015-16 All-Academic Teams. Freshman defensive specialist Maja Petronijevic, Belgrade, Serbia, received the NJCAA Pinnacle Award for Academic Excellence. Blanca Izquierdo, a freshman setter from Madrid, Spain; Stephanie Phillips, a freshman outside hitter from Thornlands, Australia; Gabby Edmondson, a sophomore outside hitter from Christchurch, New Zealand; and Susannah Kelley, a sophomore setter from Jonesboro, Arkansas, each received the NJCAA Award for Superior Academic Achievement. And, Guro Froberg, a sophomore right side attacker from Askim, Norway, received the NJCAA Award for Exemplary Academic Achievement.

“I am extremely proud of these girls and love the fact that their hard work in the classroom gets recognized,” Grizzly Volleyball Head Coach Paula Wiedemann said. “This is the culmination of a lot of effort put in by these players and everyone who supports them as student-athletes. Their dedication to being good students is a testament to the work they put into everything they do, and I could not be happier for them. They are a great exam-

ple of good habits leading to good results.”

NJCAA officials recognize individual student-athletes for academic honors at three levels. Those who have a perfect 4.0 GPA (grade point average) receive the NJCAA Pinnacle Award for Academic Excellence; those with a 3.8 to 3.99 receive the NJCAA Award for Superior Academic Achievement; and those with a 3.60 to 3.79 receive the NJCAA Award for Exemplary Academic Achievement. The GPAs for Petronijevic, Izquierdo, Phillips, Edmondson, Kelley and Froberg were 4.0, 3.87, 3.89, 3.90, 3.95 and 3.79, respectively. A total of 4,587 student-athletes met the requirements for individual academic honors this year, NJCAA officials said, adding that is a record.

To receive All-Academic Team honors, team members must have achieved a team cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The Grizzlies had a GPA of 3.41 this past year. Twenty-seven teams received NJCAA Academic Team of the Year honors for posting the highest GPA in their sport, and 687 teams were named All-Academic Teams for posting cumulative GPAs over 3.0 for the year.

“As a team, this group did a good job in the classroom,” Wiedemann said. “We had players who put in the time to improve their habits as students, and it has paid off in many ways. This honor is the

result of a lot of hard work put in by our players and everyone who supports their efforts as student-athletes. Our academic coordinator is Tori Bates, and she has done a terrific job of developing their ability to take full advantage of the resources available to them. Although awarded to the team, the honor is shared by our tremendous faculty who lead them, as well as the staff of the Advisement and Academic Coaching Center for Empowering Student Success (AACCESS) and the PAWS (Promoting Academic Success With Student-Athletes) Program, who work together with our players to make them the best students possible. They do a fantastic job!”

Implemented in spring 2002, Missouri State-West Plains’ PAWS Program consists of a group of students, faculty and staff who are dedicated to helping student-athletes develop the skills they need to excel in the classroom and provides additional assistance to student-athletes during study hall periods.

This year’s recognition of six Grizzlies for individual academic awards brings the total number of such honorees in the program’s history to 24; this is the 12th academic honor in the past 13 years for the entire team.

Brian Côtè renews credentials as an expert in upper limb rehabilitation How to Choose an Adult Day Care Service Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer any tips on finding and choosing a good adult day care service for an elderly parent? My 82-yearold mother, who is moving in with me, has Alzheimer’s and needs attention during the day while I’m at work.

Looking for Help Dear Looking, Adult day care services can be a great option for caregivers who work, or for those who just need a break during the day. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help you find and choose one.

Adult Day Services The business of adult day care services has grown rapidly in recent years. According to the National Adult Day Services Association, there are around 5,700 programs operating in the United States today.

As the name implies, adult day care provides care for elderly seniors who cannot care for themselves at home. While services will vary from center to center, they typically provide personal care, meals and snacks, various activities and social interaction in a safe supportive environment. Additionally, many centers also provide health services such as medication management, various therapies, exercise and transportation to and from the facility.

Adult day care centers generally operate programs during normal business hours five days a week. However, some centers may offer services in the evenings and on weekends, too.

Costs for care will vary as well, usually between $25 to more than $100 per day (the national average is $65/day), depending on where you live.

Unfortunately, in most cases original Medicare (Part A and B) does not pay for adult day care, but some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans, and many long-term care insurance policies do. But, most seniors or their families pay for care out-of-pocket.

If your mom is lower income and can’t afford this, many states offer Medicaid waiver programs, and some have PACE programs that provide financial assistance. Contact your state Medicaid office (see Medicaid.gov) for more information. The VA even provides adult day care to eligible veterans enrolled in their Medical Benefits Package. See VA.gov/geriatrics to learn more.

How to Choose Your first step in shopping for an adult day center is to determine the kinds of services your mother and you need.

After you do that, here are some tips to help you locate and choose a good provider.

Start by contacting your Area Agency on Aging (call 800677-1116 to get your local number) to get referrals to adult day service programs in your area. You can also search online at the National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA) website at NADSA.org/locator, or check your phone book yellow pages under “Adult Day Care” or “Seniors Services.”

Once you have a list of a few centers, call them to find out their eligibility criteria, if they offer the types of services your mother needs, if they are accepting new clients, their hours of operation, if they’re licensed and/or registered with a state agency (this is not required in all states) and what they charge.

After you identify a few good centers, go in for a visit.

Find out about the staffing ratio (at least one staff member for every six participants is recommended) and what kind of training they have. While you’re there, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem friendly and knowledgeable? Also be sure to taste the food, and consider making an unannounced visit.

To help you rate your visit, the NADSA offers a helpful checklist of questions to ask at NADSA.org – click on “Choosing a Center.”

Then, after your visit, be sure to check their references.

Get names and phone numbers of at least two or three families who have used the center you are considering and call them.

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.

ONSR offering two managed deer hunts at Big Spring To improve the overall health of the Big Spring deer herd, managed deer hunts will be conducted in October and November 2016 at Big Spring. These hunting

opportunities are being extended to special groups of the nation’s population, our youth and military service members with related injuries. The Big Spring area

has generally been a “no hunting” zone since the days when it was a wildlife refuge within Big Spring State Park.

In 2011, park resource management staff implemented a

Wyman receives regional recognition for his commitment to volunteerism Mark Twain National Forest volunteer, Rick Wyman, recently received Honorable Mention for the Eastern Region 2015 National Volunteers and Service Award in Citizen Stewardship and Partnerships. Rick earned this recognition through his dedication to caring for the Forest’s natural resources and scenic beauty.

“Wyman’s positive attitude to do the right thing is commendable,” stated Ava-Cassville-Willow Springs District Ranger Joe Koloski.

He continued, “Many people don’t concern themselves with the problem

of trash dumping on National Forest lands, but Rick’s commitment to clean up trash dumps has grown from his own personal ethic into the formation of a volunteer group known as Mark Twain Forest Friends.”

Wyman and the Mark Twain Forest Friends remain vigilant at removing trash (cans, bottles, tires, dirty diapers and household debris) from forest roads.

They keep one another’s spirits high even when they find trash again immediately after a cleanup; and they have remained undaunted in their efforts. “Having vol-

unteers with the loyalty Rick demonstrates is refreshing; and we truly value knowing the District can rely on him to perform the work safely and thoroughly,” said Natural Resource Specialist Darla Rein.

Competition for this award is always tough. The Eastern Region is one of nine Forest Service administrative regions. It consists of more than 12 million acres spread across 17 national forests and one national tallgrass prairie in the East and Midwest.

Harrisonville angler catches 2-pound, 1-ounce state-record white crappie The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports Austin Campbell of Harrisonville became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he hooked a white crappie in a Cass County irrigation pond on a trotline. The new “alternative method” record fish caught by Campbell on May 23 weighed 2-pounds, 1-ounce with a length of 15 1/2 inches. Campbell’s recent catch broke the previous state-record of Regional Recognition - Joe Koloski and Darla Rein present award to Rick Wyman. (Photo a 1-pound, 5-ounce white provided to the Standard)

crappie caught on a trotline in May this year.

“Once my buddy and I pulled the fish up into the boat, we were in shock,” Campbell said.

“We couldn’t believe we caught a nice size crappie. We both thought it was very rare to catch a fish like that on a trotline.”

Campbell was using bluegill for bait to try to catch catfish, but instead he caught the record breaking white crappie. Campbell added he didn’t know there were state records for catching fish like that on a trotline.

“I didn’t know there was a category for catching crappie on a trotline until I saw an article on the Missouri Department of Conservation’s website,” he said. “I saw the record size and knew we had a shot at beating it.”

Campbell added he was just thankful that he and his buddy kept the white crappie after they caught it.

MDC staff verified the

fish using a certified scale in the town of Harrisonville. Once MDC gave him confirmation he had a state record, Campbell said he and his friend were super excited and shocked. “We’ve always dreamed of catching a big fish and having some type of record, but we never ever thought it would happen for real. We are super excited and can’t wait to get back out on the water to catch more fish.”

Campbell added he plans on having the state-record white crappie mounted.

Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods.

Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl. For more information on state-record fish, visit the MDC website at http://short. mdc.mo.gov/Zk9.
