Most of Alley Volume 111 - Issue 26 Spring Howell Co. Campground to temporarily close July 17-19
Wednesday, July 19, 2017
Circuit Clerk sworn into office
A new shower house will be installed in the Alley Spring Campground the week of July 17. In order to ensure visitor and staff safety while heavy equipment and large trucks are on site for installation, most of the campground will be closed temporarily beginning at 12 p.m. on Monday, July 17. The 100 and 200 Loops will remain open during installation, and the entire campground is expected to re-open by the evening of Wednesday, July 19. During the temporary closure, access through the campground to the Bluff Hole swimming area will also be restricted. The new shower house is a CXT Concrete Building unit, a pre-fabricated concrete structure which is assembled on-site, requiring heavy equipment for installation. CXT structures are very durable for long-term use in an area prone to flooding. Following the initial onsite installation, park staff will need several additional days to complete final installation steps and ready the shower house for public use. For more information, contact 573-323-4236 or check the park’s Facebook page.

Local artist to feature paintings at ‘Back In Time’ in Birch Tree
An art exhibit featuring local artist Manda Stout is currently on display at the ‘Back In Time’ restaurant in Birch Tree. Local artist Manda Stout has been painting for years and uses the money from her art sales to help fund her mission trips to Haiti. The next mission trip for Stout will be in March of next year. Her son, Shalin, will be accompanying her. “I just want to thank Gary and Anita for being the type of business owners that support artists and make a wonderful dining experience,” Stout shared. To further the gallery experience business owners Gary and Anita along with Stout would like to have a meet and greet, viewing of art work on Saturday in the fall. Stout will feature different pieces along with a local mill piece or two. This is something they have wanted to collaborate on in order to bring more local art into the area. In an over stimulated, media driven world they hope you accept the invitation to slow down and enjoy the
senses. ‘Back In Time’ is a quaint and nostalgic hideaway situated in the historic Carter Mercantile Building in downtown Birch Tree. It is a creation of Gary and Anita, formerly of Anita’s Dinner House. The restaurant boasts a relaxing atmosphere of around five tables that are by reservation only. Doors open every Saturday at 5 p.m. The reason for limited seating and hours is to give patrons a chance to relax, slow down and enjoy their meal. “It used to be an occasion to go out on a Saturday night and have a meal. We are trying to bring that back where people can turn off the cell phones, enjoy the company of their guests and have some good food,” Gary explained. ‘Back In Time’ will specialize in USDA Choice Angus loins that are hand cut to order and served as a charbroiled steak or slowly baked roast. Everything on the menu is made from scratch. For more information or to reserve a table, call Gary at 417-2478696.

Buck Nelson in Space - The final episode, Buck returns to Earth Featured in the Mountain View Standard News Wednesday, March 13, 1985 Volume 78, Number 14, Section B Last week we explored the Moon and Venus with Buck Nelson, with excerpts from his book, “My Trip to Mars, the Moon and Venus”, published in October, 1957. Buck wrote the book with the help of a friend and fellow space craft enthusiast, Fanny Lowery, of Clarkson, Michigan. Mrs. Lowery was a great believer in space ships and of Buck. She came to Buck’s ranch, often, with her husband, Sherman, during the years that followed Buck’s trip into space. Mrs. Lowery was a member of the Grand Rapids Saucer Club and learned of Buck’s experiences from James Hill. James Hill, of Seymour, Missouri, and his wife were among the people who became close friends of Buck’s in those years. The Hill’s had contacted Buck after reading an account of his first visit.
Buck had sent an article to a Springfield newspaper. The Hill’s had reported seeing the space ships on the same day that they first came down on Buck’s place. What follows is Buck’s return to his Mountain View Ranch, Buck’s overall view of his trip and rememberances of people who knew Buck. “Our return to earth actually occured at midnight on April 27, 1955. After returning home, I caught the day of the week from the radio but I had to get the date from the calendar at the bank in Mountain View, where only one day at a time is shown. I was so surprised that I had been away such a short time, I couldn’t believe it. “I asked the banker if that was the right date and he sure gave me a funny look, but he answered me that three days, two nights and two half nights. Buck spent a lot of his time answering questions from people who were interested in learning more about the people and places beyond our
West Plains Bank and Trust Company will sponsor a free pool day in West Plains, Mo., and Mountain View, Mo., on Wednesday, July 26, 2017, from Noon to 7 p.m. Free child and adult admission at the West Plains Aquatics Center and Mountain View Municipal Pool will be offered by the Bank during the specified hours. According to West Plains Bank and Trust Company President/Chief Executive Officer David M. Gohn, this is the eighth year for the Bank to offer a free day of swimming. “This event has become a summer tradition for West Plains Bank and Trust
Company,” Gohn said. “Our staff looks forward to it each year and we hope area residents do as well.” For additional information regarding West Plains Bank and Trust Company Free Pool Day or banking services, call 417.256.2147 or follow the Bank social media. West Plains Bank and Trust Company opened its doors to customers in 1883, making it the oldest continually operating business in the area. With 134 years of service to the local region, total assets of West Plains Bank and Trust Company have grown to more than $365 million with six locations.

world. Buck included a ‘Question Answered’ section in his book: “Folks on Mars, the Moon and Venus look like us here on Earth, but are much better looking in they don’t use ties, buckles, beads, bangles, earrings or bracelets, etc. Nothing is worn which restricts the body in any way. One of their Twelve Laws of God governs this.” Doug Gimpel recalls that Buck wore his familiar overalls when he saw him speak at the Grace Church. “He had on overalls like the ones people wear now, but there weren’t any buttons or metal clips. I don’t know if he had them sewn or what.” Doug remembered. “Men (the spacemen) wore an overall type of pants without the buckles and studs which we have on ours. The material was different from our overalls. “I have asked about health and cures for diseases, as I know that is something that everyong wants to know about. They just told me they live the Laws of God. They don’t have doctors as we know them. They are their own doctors and use what I would call natural medicines, if they are occasionally needed. They gave me a milkweed kind of lotion to use, as I had a rash on my body from the change of water. The first Space Craft Convention was held at Buck’s Place in June of 1957, it was attended by just a few interested people. By 1958, it was quite a different story. The following are excerpts from an article written by Luther Rowlett and published in The Shannon County Current Wave on July 10, 1958: SPACECRAFT CONVENTION AT BUCK’S PLACE ATTRACTS 2,000 PEOPLE “On Friday night, June 27, the Mountain View Hotels suddenly enjoyed a boom in the tourist business. It was not a Republican Convention, nor was it a Democrat Convention; but it was people from every walk of life and every age. there were doctors, lawyers, garage workmen, young people and old people, ministers, writers, newspapermen and even spacebook salesmen. They gathered for the Spacecraft Convention-or flying saucer picnic-at the farm of Buck Nelson...There were people from every state in the
union. There was one Canadian named Henry Kranowski, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. “Two women told of their trips to Venus. Their stories tallied with the story told by Nelson. Venus is a clouded, misty planet, but the sun can sometimes be seen; but through the clouds it is a large orange-red ball and looks bigger on Venus than on Earth. People on Venus travel by flying automobiles that use no fuel. “Rowlett remarked at the spacecraft picnic, his water blue eyes twinkling: ‘Buck might have got higher above the earth than anyone in the Ozarks, but I’ve been in water deeper than anyone else; so that makes us denizens of different worlds... The ocean is my unknown jungle-world... “But the most weird thing of the event was the flying saucer of space craft or meteor plainly seen dipping low over Buck’s convention-or near by-on Saturday, June 28, by many disinterested Howell Countians, who gave testimony to the astonished coindidence-or was it a coincidence? Of course it looked different to each of the many observers, but whatever it was it greatly helped the cause of Buck Nelson’s program, whether the big orange ball was a “Modern Miracle of Fatime,” falling star, or whether this freak phenomenon was intentional or unintentional.”
There have been many sighting around Buck’s farm over the years. Some people have told us about seeing strange flying things, but most would rather not be identified. With this in mind we will print some quotes from local people about some of the impressions they had of Buck and his Conventions and maybe of some unusual sighting they may have had: “One night when I was out feeding cattle, I looked up and there was a red ball crossing the sky in the direction of Buck Nelson’s house. It was round and had what looked like stripes like a basketball. I went into the house and never told anyone about it.” “Someone else remembers Buck; I was pretty young at the time, but I knew who he was. We would see him around Mountain View. He had deep blue eyes, almost like he had no pupils. The kids thought that it was because of the light ray that he was shot with from the space ship. We were scared of him.” One man remembered the first time he had heard of Buck Nelson; “I hadn’t moved to this area and was living in Chicago. I was driving down the highway listening to the radio, this was in 1962, there was an interview going on and they were interviewing Buck Nelson about his experiences with space travel.” One man summed it up for most of us; “Some you
Finish What You Start Growing up in rural Missouri, I knew if I didn’t feed our animals by 6am, I was going to be in trouble. Starting the day with this chore was essential to the rest of the day on the farm going smoothly. I approach my job as your Congressman the same way I approached my jobs on the farm – if things like tending to the animals or repealing Obamacare don’t get done on time and in the right way, you can’t accomplish bigger things like putting food on grocery store shelves or restoring healthcare choice and lowering insurance costs for Americans. Traditionally, August is a time when Members of Congress get to spend time back home without having to fly back and forth to D.C. for votes and committee hearings. I always appreciate this time of year because I get to spend time with fellow Missourians and make stops in all 30 counties in our district to visit family farms and small businesses. I also get a break from sleeping on the couch in my office! But my job is to defend Missourians’ way of life, and I don’t want to see my colleagues take a break from work in D.C. until we make some real progress. We have a failing healthcare law that leaves folks at home with little to no healthcare choices, a massive and burdensome tax code that takes Missouri families’ time and money and complicated and expensive regulations that need to be rolled back. Spending a few nights of August on the couch in my office would be well worth the tradeoff of getting some real work done, but first, we are going to need the Senate to take some action. We have passed 269 bills out of the House of Representatives in just a few short months, but Senate Liberals have been doing their best to slow down our work ever since President Trump was elected. Of the 269 bills we have passed, 226 have stalled out and gone nowhere in the United States Senate. Unfortunately, Senate Liberals don’t understand working quickly and consecutively to accomplish goals – they only understand how to put up roadblocks in President Trump’s way. They are trying to obstruct the legislative process and stop us from delivering on the policies and the agenda Americans voted for in November. The Senate is also behind on confirming President Trump’s nominees to his administration. At the same time during the Obama Administration, more than 90% of President Obama’s nominees were confirmed by the Senate in a voice vote. But Senate Liberals have only allowed 10% of President Trump’s confirmations to happen by voice vote. Furthermore, only two of President Trump’s 23 judicial nominations have actually been confirmed by the Senate. Once again, Senate Liberals are intentionally holding up the process for the Trump Administration. Because of Senate Liberals’ inaction, there’s no time for a break. We have to work longer and harder than ever before to overcome Senate Liberals’ obstruction of President Trump’s legislative agenda.
Buck Nelson
believe and some you don’t, but when I saw that light fly across the sky, I believed.” It is difficult to know exactly what became of Buck after he moved from this area. He suffered from diabetes in later years and had to leave the ranch and move into town. He stayed with Leonard Smotherman at his home near Mountain View for sometime. When he left the Smotherman home his exact movements are not known. We have been told that Buck went to a nursing home in West Plains, others have told us that Buck went to California, (San Diego or Los Angeles). It isn’t clear when Buck passed away, if indeed he has, (he would be 90 years old on April 9). Buck had many followers and believers, he also had as many who thought he was making the whole thing up to make a lot of money from his books and his conventions, others just thought of him as a teller of tall tails, but whatever he was, Buck wasn’t silent, he was known in every state and many foreign countries, his story was told and retold hundreds of times, his books were sold at space craft gatherings everywhere. He even sold tape recordings of his talks about flying saucers. Whatever you think of Buck Nelson, you have to admit that he was a very interesting man. We will end this series with Buck Nelson’s own words: “Now I am thankful that my story was not dropped right there and forgotten, as I since have had many contacts with space men and my trip to Mars, the Moon and Venus, for which I will ever be thankful. So I must stop here and let my readers read my story. “Every bit of it is TRUE...” Buck Nelson.

a careless manner. In the 300 block of East Sedgwick, the ATV entered private property and turned around. A Brookfield police officer had exited his vehicle and was on foot, attempting to contact the driver of the ATV. The ATV then struck the Brookfield police officer. The police officer discharged his department-issued handgun striking the suspect two times. Both Buckallew and the police officer were transported for medical treatment. The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Divison of Drug and Crime Control investigated the use of force. The Patrol turned over all of the applicable evidence to the Adair County Prosecuting Attorney, who was appointed to review the use of force by the Brookfield police officer. The charges for which Buckallew was arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Nursing department reaches milestone with 1,000th graduate The 2017 commencement ceremony at Missouri State University-West Plains included a couple of important milestones in the campus’ history. The university graduated its 5,000th student overall, and the Department of Nursing graduated its 1,000th Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) student. For the department’s director, Amy Ackerson, the moment reminded her of the “rich tradition of quality nursing education” that has been a hallmark of the program since its inception in 1983. “I think this milestone validates that we are doing the best possible work we can,” she said. “The nursing faculty work tirelessly for the institution to educate at the highest level they can. They attend workshops, travel to other schools, participate in faculty development and advance their degree just to assure we have successful students. “Moreover, though, the nursing faculty care about the students,” she added. “I truly believe that our success comes from the kindness and dedication to student success on an individual basis, which makes us unique. I believe the students know how much the faculty want to see them succeed, and that creates an atmosphere of trust and collaboration that students at other programs may not be able to report.” The ASN program is selective admission; therefore, only a limited number of highly qualified students are accepted each summer. When the program began, university officials were allowed to enroll 20 students for its first year by the Missouri State Board of Nursing, which approves nursing education programs in the state. Now, the program, which also is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, is approved to enroll 35 regular track students and 25 LPN-to-RN bridge students each fall. Even with the significant expansion of the program over the years, the nursing shortage in south-central Missouri continues to grow, Ackerson pointed out. “Every graduate who seeks employment as a nurse finds a job in the field of nursing. Usually, they are offered a job before they graduate, and yet, we still have healthcare agencies looking for nurses to hire,” she said. “Without this nursing program and the nursing program at the South Central Career Center (SCCC), our local healthcare agencies would struggle to find qualified nurses to care for the residents of our region.” To help meet the growing need for nurses, Ackerson said university officials hope to double the number of students enrolling in the regular track program in the next three years, implement an online LPNto-RN bridge program and work with Missouri State in Springfield to create a dual enrollment Associate of Science in Nursing/Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ASN/BSN) program. She also hopes to expand the program’s simulation lab, made possible in 2011 with a $250,000 federal grant.
“Our hope is to grow our nursing program in the next few years to accommodate the needs of the healthcare providers in the community and region,” she said. That can happen with the continued support of university administrators and the community, Ackerson stressed. “The support the nursing program has from the community, the SCCC, Ozarks Medical Center, Willow Care, Inc., and others is key to our daily operations. We could not keep this tradition going without the support of those agencies,” she said. “The nursing program also has incredible administrative support, as well as support from all other academic areas on campus,” she added. “Missouri State-West Plains believes in the value and importance of the nursing program, and that shows in all the interactions we have with each faculty and staff member on campus. We are infinitely thankful to the administration and the entire campus community for all they do for the ASN program.” Just as important are the graduates, who spread the word about the program through their words and their work, Ackerson said. “Our graduates make us very proud, and our hope is that they remain proud of the nursing program that helped start their career. They, in turn, become vital supporters in the nursing field and help us be sustainable. We have had multiple generations of families attend our program, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren. Those kinds of stories keep us going,” she explained. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Here are some of the other highlights of the nursing program since its inception. • 1980 – The Southwest Missouri State University Board of Regents approves the Associate of Science in Nursing degree for the SMSU-WP campus. • 1982 – The Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education approves the Associate of Science in Nursing degree for the West Plains campus. • 1983 – The program welcomes its first class of 20 students. • 1985 – The Missouri State Board of Nursing grants the SMSU-WP nursing program full approval status, with a five-year site approval. • 1988 – Nursing students from the program rank number one in Missouri and fourth in the nation by the National Council Licensure Examination Summary Profiles. • 1988 – The nursing program is accredited by the National League of Nursing. • 1989 – The nursing program is granted approval from the Missouri State Board of Nursing to enroll 25 students per class. • 1990 – The nursing program is granted approval from the Missouri State Board of Nursing to enroll 35 students per class. • 1990 – The program begins offering a LPN-toRN track for the Associate of Science in Nursing

The campus receives the five-year maximum term for accreditation. Prior to 1994, SMSU-WP and its degree programs were accredited under the umbrella of SMSU-Springfield’s accreditation from the NCA. • 1994 – In June, the nationally-recognized nursing program is granted another eight years of accreditation by the National League for Nursing. • 1994 – Nursing program graduates post a pass rate of 93.7 percent on the National Council Licensure Examination, among the highest pass rating of any program in the nation. • 2002 – The nursing program retains full accreditation from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, once again receiving the maximum term for accreditation. • 2010 – The nursing program once again receives full accreditation from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. • 2010 – Looney Hall undergoes extensive renovations to convert the facility from the university’s onestop student services center to classrooms and laboratory space for the university’s allied health programs, including nursing and respiratory care. • 2011 – In April, university officials host an open house for Looney Hall, giving the public its first view of a new allied health simulation lab made possible with a $250,000 federal grant. • 2011 – The Donna Jones Endowed Professorship of Nursing is established, providing the money needed to add to the salary for its recipient, bringing that person closer to current market salaries. • 2014 – Nursing program officials begin an evening LPN-to-RN bridge program. • 2016 – All full-time nursing faculty are credentialed with a minimum of a master’s degree in nursing, including two family nurse practitioners.

Nine students visit the Netherlands, France as part of study away trip Nine students from the William and Virginia Darr Honors Program at Missouri State University-West Plains recently visited Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Paris, France, with program director Alex Pinnon as part of a short-term study away trip to gain a better understanding of topics they studied in class, as well as the unique culture these locations offer. The eight-day adventure began in Amsterdam, which boasts a rich artistic heritage and elaborate canal system. The group visited the Zaanse Schans, an historic neighborhood that features windmills, homes and specialty shops where visitors can sample cheeses and breads, among other items; a busy open market that stretched through the streets of Amsterdam; and the Anne Frank House, where the young Jewish girl, her family and four other people hid from the Nazis during World War II. Although all of them were eventually captured and sent to concentration camps, where all but her father died,
the diary she kept of her days in confinement has become a definitive piece of literature of the time and is still read in schools today. The house serves as a museum to preserve Frank’s legacy and to shed light on persecution and discrimination. Several of the students enjoyed the sights and sounds of Amsterdam by taking a boat ride through the canals or renting bicycles to ride around the city. They also explored several art museums, including the Van Gough, Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk. On the fourth day, the group boarded a train for Paris, where they visited such sites as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre art museum, the latter of which houses the famed Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci. They also walked along the Champs Elysee and visited the Palace of Versailles, the underground Catacombs where more than 6 million people are buried, and the Sacre´ Coeur Basilica (the
Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus). Some of the students braved the climb to the second level of the Eiffel Tower then took the elevators to the top of the 1,063-foot wrought iron tower to marvel at the stunning bird’s eye view of the city. They also spent one evening on a sunset boat ride through the city’s canals. Destiny Johnson, Bakersfield, said the view of Paris at night is one of her favorite memories of the trip. Other students said they enjoyed the variety of food they sampled, the diverse accents of the people they encountered, and the many street performers they saw in both cities. “I’ll remember that one week on the other side of the world for the rest of my life,” said Rosemary Driscoll, Brandsville. “I was really glad to take this group of students,” Pinnon said. “These abroad trips bring out the adventurous, courageous and inquisitive qualities of students that oftentimes are hidden until they go abroad.”

Eclipse Child Abuse with CASA campaign
The 37th Judicial Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program is engaging in their 2nd annual summer fund drive. Beginning this month, 37th Judicial CASA is asking the community to help raise $20,000.00 by August 21st. On August 21st we will celebrate the end of the fund drive by inviting all of the community to view the historic solar eclipse with us at East Town Village. 37th Judicial CASA will be selling viewing glasses at various businesses with all proceeds benefiting the program. The 37th Judicial CASA program recruits, trains, and supports citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in Howell, Shannon, Carter, and Oregon counties. Volunteers remain assigned to children as they journey through the system with the goal for each child to be in a loving, permanent home. For many abused children, a CASA volunteer is often the only constant adult presence in their lives. 37th Judicial CASA is looking for more individuals and businesses to participate in our Angel Advocates Program. It costs the 37th Judicial CASA approximately $1,000 (or $84 a month) to recruit, train, and support a volunteer advocate for one child, for one year. By becoming an Angel Advocate, you will help us realize our vision of providing a CASA volunteer to every child who needs one! Angel Advocates are people like YOU! Community members, businesses, churches, and civic groups who commit $1000 per year to the 37th Judicial CASA. This financial support helps us cover the expenses of providing a child in need with a CASA volunteer. 37th Judicial CASA is one of the few organizations in the state whose donors can increase the power of their charitable giving with Missouri’s Champion for Children Tax Credit. Donors who give $100 or more to 37th Judicial CASA may apply for the credit, which can be claimed in an amount equal to 50% of the contribution. If you would like more information about the 37th Judicial CASA, or if you are interested in volunteering or donating, please contact our office at 417-255-2100, or like our Facebook page.

The Hidden Dangers of Heartburn
Dear Savvy Senior, Is regular heartburn or indigestion anything to worry about? My 60-year-old husband eats a lot of Tums or Rolaids throughout the day to help him manage it, but it keeps him up at night too. What can you tell us? Inquiring Spouse Dear Inquiring, Almost everyone experiences heartburn or acid indigestion from time to time, but frequent episodes can signal a much more serious problem. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips and treatments to help relieve your husbands symptoms. It’s estimated that more than 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month, with around 15 million people who suffer from it daily. If your husband is plagued by heartburn two or more times a week, and it’s not responding well to overthe-counter antacids, he needs to see a doctor. Frequent bouts may mean he has gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can severely irritate and damage the lining of his esophagus, putting him at risk of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer if it’s not treated. Lifestyle Adjustments Depending on the frequency and severity of his heartburn, there are a number of lifestyle adjustments he can make that can help provide relief and avoid a more serious problem down the road. Consider these tips: • Avoid problem foods: Certain foods can trigger heartburn symptoms like citrus fruits, tomatoes, fatty foods, chocolate, garlic, onions, spicy foods, mints, alcohol, coffee and sodas. Your husband should keep a food diary to track which foods cause him the most problems and avoid them. • Eat smaller, slower and earlier: Smaller portions at mealtime and eating slower can help reduce heartburn symptoms. He should also wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed. • Lose weight: Having excess weight around the midsection puts pressure on the abdomen, pushing up the stomach and causing acid to back up into the esophagus. • Quit smoking: Smoking can increase stomach acid and weaken the valve that prevents acid from entering the esophagus. If your husband smokes, the National Cancer Institute offers a number of smoking cessation resources at SmokeFree.gov or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW. • Sleep elevated: To help keep the acid down while sleeping, get your husband a wedge-shaped pillow to prop him up a few inches. If that’s not enough, try elevating the head of his bed six to eight inches by placing blocks under the bedposts or insert a wedge between his mattress and box spring. Wedges are available at drugstores and medical supply stores. Sleeping on his left side may also help keep the acid down. Treatment Options If the lifestyle adjustments don’t solve the problem, or if antacids (Tums, Rolaids, Maalox, Mylanta or Alka-Seltzer) aren’t doing the trick there are a variety of over-the-counter and prescription medications that can help, along with surgery. His doctor can help him determine which one is best for him. Treatment options include: H-2 Blockers: Available as both over-the-counter and prescription strength, these drugs (Pepcid, Tagamet, Axid and Zantac) reduce how much acid your stomach makes but may not be strong enough for serious symptoms. Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): If you have frequent and severe heartburn symptoms, PPIs are long-acting prescription medications that block acid production and allow time for damaged esophageal tissue to heal. They include Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Zegerid, Protonix, Aciphex and Dexilant. Prevacid 24 HR, Prilosec and Zegerid OTC are also available over-the-counter. But be aware that long-term use of PPIs can increase your risk for osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease. Surgery: If the medications don’t do the trick, there are also surgical procedures that can tighten or strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter so gastric fluids can’t wash back up into the esophagus. 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.
