Missouri
Senators react as Gov. Nixon vetoes vital education bill One of the most pressing problems facing our state this legislative session was the need to provide all of Missouri’s children access to a quality education close to home. At present, thousands of children are trapped in school districts that have failed them and have greatly reduced their chances of success. An old Missouri law from 1993, while not a perfect solution, at least allows kids who are trapped in unaccredited schools the opportunity to transfer to neighboring districts. In spite of the hardship in doing so, hundreds of students and their families took the initiative to travel significant distances in order to pursue the education they deserve. However, Missouri can do better. Over the past year, a bipartisan group of legislators worked to craft a groundbreaking education policy that would provide these kids with opportunities close to home. The legislation addressed school accreditation and tackled some of the challenges confronting districts in the school transfer process. However, on Tuesday, June 24th, the governor made good on his threat to veto Senate Bill 493. “In spite of the months of bipartisan work that went into the legislation, the governor has now vetoed the bill,” said Senate Leader Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles. “His veto is an See Veto on Page 5

Missouri member of Congress. The ruling was a 5-4 decision in favor of Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby, an arts and crafts chain that employs more than 15,000 full-time people in more than 600 stores in 41 states. The case, Burwell v.

This decision reaffirms all Americans’ right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The Supreme Court justices' slim decision is the first time that the Supreme Court has ruled that religious views of for-profit businesses are protected under federal law. Approximately 50 businesses have filed such lawsuits regarding contraceptives, according to reports.

Inform yourself on the ‘Right to Farm’ amendment before August 5th

MVHC would like to send a special thank you to all the people of the Mtn. View area who helped us to have another successful Independence Day Celebration. MVHC would like to thank VFW Post # 3009, Wal-Mart, Keith Bradshaw and the Country Connection, Rita and Mike Haff and team, Scott and Kenny Ford, Tom Leftwich, Tommy Taylor, Wayne Weaver, Holly and Stanley Murphy, Mtn.

Dear Editor: Your readers have time to become informed regarding the “Right to Farm” constitutional amendment before the August 5th vote. Unfortunately it may be difficult to learn the real impact of this amendment if it passes. The amendment states it is subject to duly authorized powers, if any, in Article VI. I read nothing in Article VI that would put any limits on the protection of corporate factory farms. The actual words may seem innocuous, but if you consider where the bill originated and the past position of those
Division of Fire Safety reminds Missourians that public displays are safest way to enjoy fireworks The best sights and biggest thrills come at public events conducted by trained professionals Independence Day is the biggest day of the year for fireworks across the U.S. – and the day for the most fires and injuries caused by fireworks. As Missourians prepare to celebrate the July 4 th holiday weekend, the Division of Fire Safety reminds Missourians that public firework displays put on by trained professionals are the safest way to enjoy fireworks. Missouri families should realize that about 40 percent of the U.S. fireworks injuries that send people to hospital emergency rooms each year affect children under age 15. The safest and most fun way to enjoy fireworks as a family is at one of Missouri’s many public displays, which offer far better sights and excitement than consumer fireworks. Even small fireworks like sparklers are unpredictable and improper use can lead to injuries. According to the Na-
tional Fire Protection Association (NFPA), far more fires are reported in the U.S. on a typical Independence Day than on any other day of the year, and fireworks account for more than half of those fires. The NFPA reports that across the U.S. in 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,800 reported fires, including 1,200 total structure fires, 400 vehicle fires, and 16,300 outside and other fires. Fireworks sales at licensed seasonal retailers are legal in Missouri from June 20 to July 10. This year, the Division of Fire Safety has licensed more than 1,100 seasonal retailers. State permits should be displayed at all seasonal retail locations. Missourians who choose to use consumer should be aware of any local ordinances related to fireworks, and should follow basic safety practices: - Purchase fireworks only
from a properly licensed retailer. - Always keep young children away from fireworks. If teens are permitted to handle fireworks they should be closely supervised by an adult. - Only use fireworks in a large open space that has been cleared of flammable materials. Never light fireworks indoors. - Always wear eye protection; use earplugs if you have sensitive ears. - Tie back long hair and don’t wear loose fitting clothes. - Only light one firework at a time; never try to re-light fireworks that have malfunctioned.
- Never have any part of your body over fireworks. - Never throw or point fireworks at other people. - Never carry fireworks in your pocket. - Make sure to have water nearby in case of a fire or accident. - Dispose of fireworks by soaking them in water and leaving them in a trash can. - Don’t use fireworks while consuming alcohol. Use a “designated shooter.” - Store fireworks in a cool, dry place. Don’t save fireworks from season to season. Anyone with concerns about a fireworks dealer or the types of fireworks being sold by a dealer should call the Division of Fire Safety at (573) 751-2930.
people you should have a better idea of how “Right to Farm” will affect our state. The real purpose of this proposal is to make it easier for corporate farms to increase their profits by ignoring laws and “best practices” that conscientious farmers (i.e. family farms) follow. It isn’t the government that threatens your freedom and safety, it is corporations that who are protected by the actions of elected officials beholden to corporations. (“Who” not “that” because the Supreme Court considers corporations people!) The “Right to Farm” amendment will make it easier for corporate farms to make a profit by forcing the public to pay for environmental and health damage. Now it may only be factory farms that raise animals in horrible conditions that are protected. Protected because these conditions are hidden from view because our legislature passed an “aggag” bill making it a crime to reveal those inhumane practices. It may soon be factory farm corporations that destroy water supplies by exporting our ground water. The only restriction on water use is “Reasonable use requires that other users and landowners not be overly impacted in an adverse manner.” But the “Right to Farm” constitutional amendment would overrule this guideline and change what’s reasonable and put a corporate farm’s needs before those
of real people. Family farms are not under threat, except by corporate factory farms. “Right to Farm” will make it harder for citizens to get corporate factory farms to be good citizens. Elected officials may talk about jobs, but their real motive is profits for corporations. Missouri’s Right to Farm amendment is modeled after an ALEC* model bill given to legislators across the country. (Jason Smith, former state representative, was co-chair of ALEC in Missouri.) ALEC serves corporate interests and major funding comes from the Koch brothers. The recent action of the Missouri legislature in passing HB 650, which limits the amount of punitive damages that can be awarded to plaintiffs against the Doe Run Company (responsible for years of lead pollution in Herculaneum, MO), is another example of serving corporate interests as they talk about jobs. Doe Run knew of the pollution and continues to ruin the health of the people who live near its smelter, now located in Peru. Your NO vote on the misnamed “Right to Farm” amendment will help protect the environment, your family’s health, and family farms from corporate factory farms and their beholden elected officials. *Learn more about ALEC at ALECexposed.org James Vokac Willow Springs

Public Input
Earlier this year, the General Assembly passed House Joint Resolution (HJR) 68, a proposed constitutional amendment that would raise the state sales and use tax by an increase of .75 percent for 10 years in order to fund transportation projects. The measure will be put to a vote of the people and the governor selected the amendment to appear on the August primary. The amendment requires a simple majority to pass. The issue, HJR 68, is on the ballot for Aug. 5, 2014, as Constitutional Amendment 7, and will read: “Should the Missouri Constitution be changed to enact a temporary sales tax of three-quarters of one percent to be used solely to fund state and local highways, roads, bridges and transportation projects for ten years, with priority given to repairing unsafe roads and bridges? This change is expected to produce $480 million annually to the state’s Transportation Safety and Job Creation Fund and $54 million for local governments. Increases in the gas tax will be prohibited. This revenue shall only be used for transportation purposes and cannot be diverted for other uses.” The Missouri Department of Transportation has been holding public meetings seeking input about proposed projects across the state; I have been attending these meetings and encourage others to do the same so they are well-informed when they go to the polls in August. The next and final meeting in our area will be held July 2 from 4:30-6 p.m. at Mountain Grove City Hall, 100 East State Street, Mountain Grove. It is important for citizens to get involved on a local level. For more information on the meetings and proposed projects, visit www.modot.org/movingforward. Last week I attended three festivals in four days: the Old Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival; the Go Green Self-Reliance Festival in Thayer; and White Hart Renaissance Faire. Many of us attending the Go Green Self-Reliance Festival got wet, very wet, but the event still went smoothly. I looked forward to attending this event for months, and once there, was pleasantly surprised by the amount of good information available. There were 16 speakers and I enjoyed listening to talks regarding preparation for emergency disasters and planning, wind power and organic gardening, among others. I enjoyed the entire event and evening entertainment, but wish the rain had held off. The White Hart Renaissance Faire included actors dressed in full costume, several stages with entertainment, and local artists and vendors selling their wares. The Elizabethan dancers were a favorite of mine. Groups like theirs must spend hours of time researching, practicing and fine tuning their art form to ensure not only its historical accuracy, but that it will be entertaining for the crowd, and let me tell you, this group did an amazing job. The Old Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival in West Plains, is an annual event that I look forward to. The event included musical performances by a host of local and wonderfully talented groups and individuals. There was even a Dutch oven cook-off, mule jump, jig dance competition, egg-in-spoon races, and a stage that was dedicated to teaching and demonstrating the fine art of whipping up some good, down-home cooking the Ozarks are known for. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol; however, during the interim I may be in the district. 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.
Poll workers needed for Primary Election August 5 Secretary of State Jason Kander today encouraged Missourians to sign up to be poll workers and help run the state’s upcoming primary election on August 5. “Being a poll worker means being a part of the history happening around you,” Kander said. “This is a great opportunity for civic engagement, especially for college students and other young people looking to learn more about the democratic process.” Poll workers check in voters, answer questions, solve prob-
lems and ensure every eligible voter can cast a ballot. In addition to providing these invaluable services, poll workers gain unique experiences interacting with other members of their community. They also receive compensation for their time. In order to sign up, Missourians should visit www.sos.mo.gov/pollworker or call (800) 669-8683. Poll workers must be registered Missouri voters. Candidates and relatives of candidates that appear on the ballot are ineligible.
Astronaut to visit Summersville Library In conjunction with the ongoing Fizz, Boom, Read! Summer Reading Program, Col. Tom Akers, former NASA Space Shuttle Astronaut, will be the guest of honor at Summersville Branch Library’s Celebrity Storytime
on Wednesday, July 9th at 11:30 a.m. The public is invited to join our Summer Reading group in welcoming Col. Akers to the new Summersville Branch Library.
Working to Lower Energy Costs As of today, the national average price for a gallon of gas is $3.67. In 2009, that same gallon of gas would have cost just $2.35. As the summer sets in, gasoline prices are continuing to rise with the summer temperatures. At a time when our economy is struggling, higher gas prices will put a huge burden on working families trying to make ends meet. The rising cost of gas not only affects Missourians at the pump, it will also drive up the cost of goods and services. This week the House of Representatives took action to help lower the price of gasoline and natural gas for all Americans. I supported H.R. 4899, the Lowering Gasoline Prices to Fuel an America that Works Act, that would harness the oil and natural gas resources we have right here in America. Responsibly developing these resources not only addresses rising energy costs, but also gives the private sector the ability to create good-paying jobs. By tapping into the reserves we have right here in the United States we can strengthen America’s economy as well as our energy security. The Lowering Gasoline Prices to Fuel an America that Works Act takes a three-pronged approach to lower fuel prices: - Increases Offshore Production: Since taking office, President Obama has restricted new offshore energy production, canceled lease sales, and locked-up over 85 percent of our offshore areas. In stark contrast to President Obama’s no-newdrilling, no-new-jobs plan, the House plan proposes a drillsmart, job-creation plan that would require President Obama to move forward with new offshore energy production in areas containing the most oil and natural gas resources. - Increases Onshore Production: The legislation would streamline government roadblocks and bureaucratic red-tape that block and delay onshore American energy production. The bill would reform the leasing process for onshore oil and natural gas projects on federal lands to eliminate unnecessary delays and reform the process for energy permitting. - Increases Alaskan Production: The bill would ensure that oil and natural gas resources in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska are developed and transported in a timely, efficient manner. The NPR-A was specifically established as a petroleum reserve in 1923. According to conservative estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey, there are over 2.7 billion barrels of oil and 114.36 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. We are blessed to live in a land with abundant natural resources. We need a federal government that will get out of the way so that we can develop those resources. Not only will these projects help American families meet their energy needs, they will also create thousands of jobs in the process. America does not have to be at the mercy of foreign governments to meet our current and future energy needs. As gas prices creep higher each day we should become less dependent on Middle Eastern oil. I will continue working to develop the energy resources we have right here in North America to secure our economic future and to put more Americans to work.

Summer, the most dangerous time of the year for teenage drivers Summer is in full swing. School is out, and trips to the lake, hanging out with friends, summer jobs, and camps, all place more teen drivers on Missouri’s roadways. This is why this time of the year is the most deadly for the teenage driver. In fact, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, from Memorial Day to Labor Day in 2012, 1,000 people were killed in crashes involving teen drivers and more than 550 of those killed were teens. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S., and teens crash at three times the rate of more experienced drivers. Also, in Missouri, more teens are killed in June, than any other month of the year, and approximately 71 percent of teens killed in traffic crashes weren’t wearing seat belts. Possible reasons for the spike in these crashes during the summer months include: - Summer driving tends to be more recreational and not as purposeful, such as driving to see friends or to the lake and traveling on roads they haven’t driven before, rather than driving to school or work. Parents are encouraged to limit teens’ driving to essential trips and establish guidelines for their child. - Teens could be carrying friends more frequently and passengers increase the risk of a fatal crash involving a teen driver by at least 44 percent. Fortythree states currently restrict newly licensed drivers from having more than one young passenger in their vehicle. Missouri’s Graduated Driver License law requires that all first-time drivers between 15 and 18 years old complete a period of driving with a licensed driver (instruction permit), and restricted driving (intermediate license), before getting a full driver license. If the permit holder is under age 16, the licensed driver occupying the seat beside the permit holder for the
purpose of giving instruction while driving must be a qualified person, grandparent, or qualified driving instructor, or a person at least 25 years of age who has been licensed for a minimum of three years and has received written permission from the parent or legal guardian. At age 16, the driver may apply for an intermediate license. The intermediate license allows the driver to drive alone except during a late night curfew (1-5 a.m.). The driver and passengers must use seat belts, be free of alcohol and drugs, and obey the traffic laws. During the first six months, you may not operate a motor vehicle with more than one passenger who is under 19 years old and who is not a member of your immediate family. After the first six months, you may not operate a motor vehicle with more than three passengers who are under 19 years old and who are not members of your immediate family. At age 18, the intermediate license holder may apply for a full driver license. - Teens may stay out later at night, when the crash risk is higher. According to AAA research, a teen driver’s chances of being involved in a deadly crash doubles when driving at night and more than half of nighttime crashes occur between 9 p.m. and midnight. Driving at night may be more challenging to the teenage driver due to a combination of poor visibility, slower response time due to fatigue, and lack of experience driving under such conditions. Also, teens need more sleep than adults. But, their lifestyle often leads them to get less sleep than they need. Driving when you’re tired can be very dangerous. If your body needs sleep, it will go to sleep and, it’s impossible to tell exactly when you might nod off. - With warmer weather and clearer conditions, teens may be tempted to speed. Speed continues to be one of the leading contributors to fatal traffic crashes in Missouri and approximately one-third of all the traffic deaths in the U.S. each year are due to driving over the speed limit. Speed reduces the amount of available time needed to avoid a crash, increases the likelihood of crashing, and increasing the severity of a crash once it occurs. The faster you drive, the less control you have over your vehicle and the less
time you have to react in an emergency. Young drivers often have an attitude of, “It’ll never happen to me,” and tend to ignore the risks they are taking behind the wheel. Running red lights or pulling out too soon into on-coming traffic can have tragic consequences. Passing in no-passing zones or driving too fast on winding, curving roads while ignoring the possibility of traffic or dangers over the next hill or around the next curve can cause loss of control. Adjust your speed for conditions and assume there is a hazard ahead that you aren’t aware of yet. - Teens may be more easily distracted while driving. Inattention is the leading cause of all traffic crashes in Missouri. The popularity of mobile devices has had some dangerous consequences, which are linked to the significant increase of distracted driving traffic crashes. Missouri state law requires that no person 21 years of age or younger operating a moving motor vehicle upon the highways shall, by means of a handheld electronic wireless communications device, send, read, or write a text message or electronic message. In addition to the cell phone, a teen’s driving behavior is altered because they may be paying more attention to passengers than to the road ahead, eating and drinking, listening to loud music, applying makeup, looking at things out the window instead of at the road, adjusting the radio or loading CDs. All of these distractions can take a teen’s eyes off the road just long enough for a dangerous problem to creep up unnoticed. Teens who get distracted or who drive too fast often find themselves running off the side of the roadway. The natural instinct in that situation is to jerk the wheel (overcorrect) to get back onto the roadway. But, that can be the most dangerous thing to do. If you turn your vehicle too sharply, it can result in a skid and lead to the vehicle flipping over. Overcorrecting can also cause you to turn into the other lane, into oncoming traffic. If you feel yourself leaving the roadway, grip the wheel firmly, take your foot off the gas, and gently apply the brakes to slow down. Once you have slowed to a safe speed, check for traffic behind you and then re-enter the road-
way. This is a maneuver that should be practiced and drivers should think about what they would do in this type of emergency. That way, they will be less likely to give in to the natural instinct to overcorrect. - Teens are less likely to wear their seat belt. Driving or riding in an automobile can be dangerous. Nationally, motor vehicle crashes kill tens of thousands of drivers and passengers, and injure nearly 2 million each year. The chance of being in an auto crash in your lifetime is virtually 100 percent. On average, you’ll be in a traffic crash every 10 years, and you have a one in 50 chance of being killed. No matter how safely you drive, you can’t control other drivers. Seat belts are your best protection against drivers who are careless or have been drinking. It takes about three seconds to fasten your seat belt when you get into a car or truck to travel. Using lap/shoulder belts cuts your chances of being killed or seriously injured in a crash 45-50 percent. For the teenage driver, seat belts must be worn by the driver and all passengers when the driver is operating the vehicle under a driving permit or intermediate license. Noncompliance with the seat belt law by a permit or intermediate driver is a violation of the graduated driver’s license restrictions and could result in fines, court costs, and license suspension. - More teenage drivers are on the roads with less supervision. Parents are instrumental and play a significant role in helping their teen become a safer driver. During the summer months, teens are more care free and excited to have the freedom to drive around, so it’s imperative that parents help keep safety foremost in their children’s minds. Studies have shown risky driving behavior, traffic violations, and crashes to be lower among teens whose parents set limits on their initial driving behavior. The most dangerous time in a teen’s life is the first 12 months after receiving a driver’s license, according to the National Safety Council. A parent riding at least 30 minutes a week with their teen driver, even after he or she gets a license, can drastically reduce their chance of being involved in a traffic crash.

think, and I just kept going.” Students who participate in the program have a choice of doing so for four, six or eight weeks, with flexibility in dates worked. Robertshaw, who chose six weeks, began Tuesday, May 27, and is scheduled to stay until Sunday, July 13. Prisacari chose eight weeks. She began her program Tuesday, June 3, at Mercy-St. Francis. Her last day will be Friday, July 25.
From Page One Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, said she has been working nearly a year on a solution for not only her community, but all areas of the state. “The governor has provided no solutions during this process, offering only a fear-based public relations strategy and rhetoric,” said ChappelleNadal. “This bipartisan bill gave real solutions to real students. My disappointment is in knowing yet another few years’ worth of students has been deemed expendable in this political fight.” Dempsey expressed frustration that the governor continues to stand in the way of a policy that would benefit thousands of children. “In addition to vetoing a workable solution, the
governor’s Department of Education and his appointed education board have gone well beyond their legal authority and have effectively blocked the opportunity for hundreds of kids to continue to transfer to better schools. Sadly, kids who are willing to take the brave step to transfer to new schools in order to make a better life for themselves, now find the way blocked by bureaucrats who think they know better,” said Dempsey. The Senate will convene again for the annual veto session on Sept. 10, 2014. At that time, a decision whether to override the governor’s veto will be made.

Bowden receives degree, Dean’s Award from Missouri Academy The Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics and Computing at Northwest Missouri State University on Saturday, May 31, handed diplomas to 44 students who comprised the program’s 13th graduating class. Upon their graduation, students of the two-year residential, early-entrance-to-college
program receive an Associate of Science degree along with their high school diplomas. This year’s class was known as the Trekkers. The experience was worth it, the graduates said, as they reflected on their two years in the program, looked to their futures and thanked the people who have helped them
Anna Bowden received the Dean’s Award during the 2014 Missouri Academy commencement on Saturday, May 31st. It is the highest honor awarded at the Missouri Academy to students who epitomize the values and ideals of the program. Consideration is given to students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.90, undergraduate research in STEM subjects and aspirations in STEM fields as well as exemplary leadership and character.

succeed. “We have a two-year head start over our peers and we can use those two years to do spectacular things,” said Missouri Academy graduate Claire Crossnoe in her remarks during Saturday’s ceremony. “We have faced many things at the Academy, all of which have prepared us to walk off this stage and join the world of high school graduates.” Of the Missouri Academy’s 44 graduates, 40 will pursue bachelor’s degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering or mathematics) disciplines next fall, and the remaining four will pursue bachelor’s degrees in the areas of American sign language, business, business administration and psychology. The graduates have been accepted to colleges and universities throughout the country, stretching from Rhode Island to California, as well as Canada and Korea. The average grade-point average of the graduating class was 3.61. Of 19 graduates who earned a GPA of 3.8 or higher, 12 earned at least a 3.9 GPA or higher. Of those, three graduates earned a 4.0 GPA. Northwest Associate Professor of Chemistry Dr. Richard Toomey presented the day’s commencement address. Toomey, who joined the Northwest faculty in 1999, has taught chemistry courses for Missouri Academy students
since the program’s inception during the fall of 2000. He also has been chair of the Missouri Academy faculty advisory committee, which advises the Missouri Academy staff on curriculum matters. Toomey shared some of the wisdom he has gained during his academic career and offered some suggestions to help the graduates fulfill their futures. He charged the graduates to accomplish something difficult, take responsibility for mistakes, be invaluable to someone, maintain a reasonable and healthy perspective, and be grateful for their opportunities. “You have already met and overcome the challenges of communal living,” Toomey said. “Other than the rigor of the courses and course loads that await you, you are seasoned professionals at this. You have something awaiting you this fall that many of us will never have the opportunity to experience again and that is a literal clean state.” Toomey called on the graduates to employ the same persistence, patience and “elimination of procrastination” during their college years that they did at the Missouri Academy. “The skill I wish for you to gain is to focus on the best of your time here as you deserve nothing less, and to not do so would be to dishonor the perseverance it took to bring
yourselves to this point,” Toomey said. Missouri Academy staff, students and their families also gathered for a banquet Friday night that recognized the success of individual students and student groups at regional, state and national competitions in addition to awarding several individual honors. Anna Bowden, Rose Marinaro and Matthew Peek received the Dean’s Award. It is the highest honor awarded at the Missouri Academy to students who epitomize the values and ideals of the program. Consideration is given to students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.90, undergraduate research in STEM subjects and aspirations in STEM fields as well as exemplary leadership and character. Xinyao Huang, Sean Nemetz, Sarah Medina and Han Yu Zhang received the Academic Excellence Award, which is awarded to students who have excelled academically at the Missouri Academy. Consideration is given to students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.90; high performance on the PSAT, ACT or SAT; the general education proficiency test and other academic successes. Eligible students must also show positive engagement in the Missouri Academy living and learning community. William Cody Chlanda, Jaewhan Park, Lyndsey
Kirkorian and Abigail Wampler earned the Student Development Award. It is awarded to students who demonstrate the principles of integrity and quality espoused by the Missouri Academy. Consideration also is given to community service and exemplary leadership skills. Cher-Xa Thao, Demetrius Williams and Monica Yang received the Delta Award. It is awarded to students who demonstrate the greatest degree of development or improvement – academically or socially – from the time they arrive at the Missouri Academy to their graduation. The Missouri Academy program replaces the junior and senior years of high school for its students. Missouri Academy students enroll in the same classes as Northwest’s traditional students and are held to the same academic expectations while living, socializing and studying in a learning community of peers. For more information about the Missouri Academy, visit www.nwmissouri.edu/masmc. “We have something special here in the state of Missouri,” said Dr. Cleo Samudzi, dean of the Missouri Academy. “That something special is Northwest Missouri State University and its Missouri Academy. The Missouri Academy is an earlyentrance college school that is rare and unique even after 14 years of operation.”

How to Protect Your Medicare Card from Identity Theft Dear Savvy Senior, I just turned 65 and received my Medicare card. I see that the ID number on my card is the same as my Social Security number, and on the back of the card it tells me I need to carry it with me at all times. What can I do to protect myself from identify theft if my purse and Medicare card get stolen? Conflicted Beneficiary Dear Conflicted, Many people new to Medicare are surprised to learn that the ID number on their Medicare card is 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 Medicare ID is more than an identifier. It’s proof of insurance. Beneficiaries need to show their Medicare card at the doctor’s office and the hospital in order to have Medicare pay for treatment. Over the years, many consumer advocates, have called for a new form of Medicare identification. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which administers Medicare, also acknowledges the problem, but so far nothing has been done. One of the main reasons is because it would cost an estimated $255 to $317 million to fix it. And that’s just the direct cost to the federal government. It doesn’t include the expense for physicians and other healthcare providers to adjust their systems, or the cost to the states. Other government health systems like the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense have already be-
The Standard News gun using ID numbers that are different from SSNs, but no one knows when Medicare will follow suit. In the meantime, here are some tips offered by various consumer advocate groups that can help keep your Medicare card safe and out of the hands of fraudsters. Protect Your Card For starters, AARP suggests that you simply don’t carry your Medicare card at all, because it’s not necessary. Most healthcare providers already have their patients in their electronic systems and know how to bill you. But if you really don’t feel comfortable not having it with you, then the Privacy Rights Clearing House, a national consumer resource on identity theft recommends that you make a photocopy of your card and cut it down to wallet size. Then use scissors to cut out the last four digits of your SSN, or take a black marker and cross them out, and carry that instead. You will, however, need your actual Medicare card with you the first time you visit a new health care provider, who will likely want to make a photocopy of it for their files. If you’re worried that you’ll need your card in an emergency situation in order to get care, you should know that emergency personnel cannot refuse you care until you show an insurance card. Although you’ll need to come up with billing information before leaving a hospital, that doesn’t mean you won’t receive care. Lost or Stolen Cards If your Medicare card does happen to get lost or stolen, you can replace it by calling Social Security at 800-772-1213. You can also apply for a new card online at ssa.gov/medicarecard or go to your local Social Security office. If your Medicare card has been lost or stolen, you will 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. If you spot anything suspicious or wrong, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800-4478477. If you need help identifying Medicare fraud, contact your state Senior Medicare Patrol program. See smpresource.org or call 877-808-2468 for contact information. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Participants are encouraged to arrive during specific time slots, determined by the first letter of their last name.

Athletic physicals are required for all students who plan to participate in any school-sponsored sport. Pam
Ream, Director of OMC Rehabilitation Services, said the free physicals are part of an extended cooperative effort between OMC, the West Plains R-7 School District and other area school districts. “Participating in school athletics is a great way for children and teens to stay active and healthy. We are proud to offer free physicals in support of our student athletes,” Ream said. Last year, 419 area students turned out for this event. Ream said dividing participants by last name has made the process quick and efficient. All students will be required to submit a signed consent form and current insurance information from a parent or legal guardian at the time of the physicals. Forms must be completely filled out in order for the student to receive the physical. Partial information and incomplete forms will not be accepted.
Consent forms may be picked up between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the West Plains High School office; at OMC Education Services, located in the Parkway Center in West Plains; or at OMC Rehabilitation Services, located on the second floor of the Shaw Medical Building, 1111 Kentucky Ave. They are also available online at www.ozarksmedicalcenter.com/ screenings.asp<http:// www.ozarksmedicalcenter.com/ screenings.asp> or from www.zizzers.org.

This is a one-in-five year, says Craig Roberts, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist. Cool spring temperatures made for bad fescue hay. “The growing season was at least two weeks behind schedule,” Roberts said on a weekly teleconference. Lack of sunshine and warmth led to reduced leaf growth. Before fescue grew enough leaves to make hay, the grass matured. The plants set seed heads. Day length, not temperature or leaf growth, deter-
mines maturity. First-cutting fescue grew more stems than forage. “The good news is cool weather and rains continue well into June,” Roberts said. Normally, rains taper off and temperatures rise in June. Growth almost stops on coolseason grasses. “This year, we see some good second-cutting fescue hay,” Roberts said. “Farmers who cut seed heads see excellent regrowth.” Hay should be cut, dried, baled and stored under plastic or hay shed before the next rain. “We just need a few days
of sunshine,” Roberts said. High-endophyte hay cut in spring loses about half of the endophyte poison in storage. That improves winter feed. June rains have hurt quality of second-cutting alfalfa, Roberts said. Alfalfa growers get more chance to make hay, with four or five cuttings a year. Cool-season grasses take a late growth spurt with the return of fall rains. Grass grown after mid-August can be stockpiled in the field for winter grazing. That provides better feed than hay. Fescue dominates pastures and hay fields in Missouri. But, the seed stems made of fiber
MDC: 2014 dove, teal seasons set Mark your calendar now for opening days of dove, teal, woodcock, snipe, and rail hunting seasons Hunters of early-migrating gamebirds can mark their calendars now. The Missouri Conservation Commission has approved the following early migratory bird hunting seasons and limits: - Mourning doves, Eurasian collared doves, and white-winged doves: Sept. 1 through Nov. 9 (70 days), with limits of 15 daily and 45 in possession (combined total for all three species). - Blue-winged teal, greenwinged teal, and cinnamon teal: The blue-winged teal (BWT) is the primary species harvested during this early hunting season. For this reason, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bases teal hunting
regulations on an annual survey of BWT numbers on the birds’ nesting grounds. Survey data are not available until mid-summer, so each year the Conservation Commission approves season dates contingent on survey results. If the BWT breeding population index is below 3.3 million, the season is closed. If the BWT breeding population index is at least 3.3 million but fewer than 4.7 million, this year’s season will be Sept. 6 through 14 (nine days). If the BWT breeding population index is 4.7 million or greater, the season will be Sept. 6 through 21 (16 days). If there is an early teal season, the limits will be six daily and 18 in possession.
- Sora and Virginia rails: Sept. 1 through Nov. 9 (70 days), with a daily limit of 25 and a possession limit of 75 (combined total for both species). - Wilson’s (common) snipe: Sept. 1 through Dec. 16 (107 days), with a daily limit of eight and a possession limit of 24. - American woodcock: Oct. 15 through Nov. 28 (45 days), with a daily limit of three and a possession limit of nine. Additional details about early migratory bird hunting regulations will be published in the 2014 Migratory Bird Hunting Digest. The publication will be available from hunting permit vendors later this summer and online at mdc.mo.gov.
lack nutrients. There’s a bigger problem with fescue stems and seeds. They contain a fungus that poisons horses and cattle. Endophyte-infected fescue dominates the fescue belt across the southeastern United States. Cattle eating high-endophyte grass develop problems. The fungus lowers feed intake, cuts
daily gains and hurts reproduction. When high-endophyte hay is fed in winter, cattle can get “fescue foot.” Ergovaline restricts blood flow to body extremities. That lead to lost tail switches, frosted ears and damaged feet. To cut problems, haymakers try to cut hay before seed heads set. That improves nutrient qual-
ity of hay. Roberts is part of a multi-state alliance working to replace toxic fescue with novel-endophyte fescue. The new fescue improves animal health. MU Extension state specialists hold weekly teleconferences with regional offices across the state. They provide an early-warning network.
OHP holds annual river clean-up The Ozark Heritage Project will hold its Sixth Annual Lower Current River CleanUp this coming Saturday, July 5th. The non-profit organization is the umbrella organization for the Current River Power Team (Stream Team # 4025) and the Stewards of the Ozarks organization (on facebook). The event is held the first Saturday following the 4th of July each year, in part to take advantage of the extra volunteers available at that time. Stewards of the Ozarks has been very busy since its creation in both preserving the river by cleaning and educational workshops as well as hosting several events that encouraged people to share some of the traditional experiences of the river, in-
cluding boat riding and gravel bar fish fries. The event is sponsored by Blazer Boats of Ellington with many other businesses contributing. The meal is supplied courtesy of Town & Country Bank of Salem along with Town & Country Supermarket of Ellington. Cash support and prizes come from numerous other businesses throughout Dent, Reynolds and Shannon Counties. Door prizes range from fishing rods, ice chests, T-shirts and foam can coolers to the Fish Cooker donated each year by Representative Paul Fitzwater. Some years other cookers have been donated and this year a 45lb Minn-Kota Edge bow-mounted trolling motor, worth approximately $350,
was donated by Robbie Williams of Red’s Super Service in Van Buren and will be awarded to the boat that gathers the most trash. Registration will be at Log Yard from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. People interested in launching elsewhere need to contact Rick at 573-663-2269 or emansfield2004@yahoo.com to pre-register. More information is available on the facebook page for Stewards of the Ozarks. Sponsors and door prizes are still being sought. The Ozark Heritage Project is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) so all donations are tax deductible. More on the Ozark Heritage Project can be seen on www.ozarkheritageproject.org along with information on both past and future projects.
Ozarks Fruit & Garden Review Phylloxera: The Pitiless Pest by Nathanial Bock Guest Author If you know a grape grower in Missouri, chances are they can tell you about Phylloxera. This pest was introduced to southern France on imported American grapevines in the late 19th century, causing havoc and nearly destroying their ancient European vineyards. The first Missouri state entomologist, C. V. Riley, is attributed to the discovery of the natural rootstock resistance that American grape varieties possess to the pest. Coupled with the knowledge of the University of Missouri’s professor of agriculture, George Husmann, he suggested grafting the resistant rootstocks onto the Old World vines, thus saving the dwindling French wine industry. Grape Phylloxera, or Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch), is an aphid-like insect,
or louse, that survives with two separate life cycles one on the foliage (leaves) and the other on the roots or rootstock. Despite the foliar symptoms being more widely visible, damage to the rootstock can be detrimental to the entire vine. American grape varieties, such as Vitis aestavalis (Norton/ Cynthiana) and Vitis labrusca have a natural tolerance to the root version and are not heavily affected by it. However, European varieties with Vitis vinifera parentage are much more susceptible and must be grafted onto Phylloxera resistant rootstocks. Both American and European varieties are susceptible to the foliar version can cause premature defoliation. The wingless and asexual foliar Phylloxera nymph hatches from eggs that survive under the bark of the vine’s hardwood during winter and crawl onto the upper leaf surface of new leaves to produce
Galls - The tell-tale signs of Grape Phylloxera on a Norton vine, the state grape of Missouri. Symptoms of Phylloxera can include small, round, and rough-edged “galls” on the underside of grape leaves, partly protruding through the upper leaf surface or on the roots. This cultivar is one of several varieties growing in the grape vineyards at the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station. (Photo provided to the Standard)
galls. When these nymphs mature, eggs are laid and the cycle continues, sometimes occurring six to seven times per growing season. The root form of Phylloxera survives the winter by migrating as a nymph and falling down to the rootstock. In the spring, these mature and lay eggs that after hatching, will develop new galls on the roots. Additional information about the root form’s lifecycle can be found in the University of Arkansas Bulletin “Biology and Management of Grape Phylloxera” at http:// comp.uark.edu/~dtjohnso/ GP_Fact_Sheet_09.pdf. Despite the existence of a few natural predators to the louse, none of these provide sufficient control. Scouting the vineyard regularly is key to spotting the pest, as the infestation may be sporadic and require only a few spot treatments to control. Start scouting for this pest in the early growing season (when new shoots length reach 5”) as late season treatment can be costly and ineffective.
