Update on status of Big Spring Lodge, cabins The Big Spring Lodge and Cabins have been operated by private concessioners under contract with the National Park Service (NPS) as an essential visitor service for many years. The area is a popular vacation and honeymoon destination, and dining facility. At the conclusion of the most recent concession contract in the fall of 2014, the deterioration caused by decades of use and deferred maintenance prompted the NPS to close the facility until restoration work could be completed. Specifically, some health and safety repairs were required before the facilities could be reopened. When the NPS reluctantly made the decision to close the facilities in 2014, park managers believed that the significant funding needed to do the extensive restoration work was more readily available than it actually was. However, it appears the major funding needed to restore the lodge and cabin buildings is still some years away. Because of the historical significance of the Big Spring Lodge and Cabins, planning and design work to make modifications and improvements to the structures and surrounding landscape is a very complex process. Just as the original construction was a lengthy task, restoration of those same structures will require similar care and attention. The Big Spring Historic District, of which the buildings are a key component, is on the National See Big Springs on Page 8

unresponsive, face down in the river. He was pronounced deceased at 5:32 p.m. by Dr. Broughton at Mercy Hospital in Mtn. View. The incident was investigated by Sgt. J.A. Cravens and assisted by Msg. B.D. Foster and the Texas County Sheriff’s Department.
ment after a review of the current sex offender registry was made on July 6, 2016. Mawby last registered with the Howell County Sheriff’s Office on March 23, 2016. He was convicted on June 1, 2015 in West Plains of child molestation-2nd degree. At the time of the crime the victim was a 15-year-old female. Mawby is required to register with the Howell County Sheriff’s Office every 90 days and during the month of his birth. He was registered on March 23, 2016 and was required to register 90 days after that date on June 21, 2016. He did not come in to the Howell County Sheriff’s

New motion capture system added to CGP department’s teaching toolbox The Computer Graphics and Programming (CGP) Department at Missouri State University-West Plains recently acquired an exciting new tool to enhance the student learning experience, the Perception Neuron Motion Capture System. CGP Instructor Tera Smith, who requested the equipment, said the system, which is used to give computer-generated objects for games and video production movement, was selected for its ease of use, cost and portability. “It’s a pretty straightforward system as far as getting the suit on, and the program itself is very user-friendly,” Smith said. “It’s also one of the lowest costs we’ve seen for a mo-cap system that has individual limb tracking. One of the problems with a camera type setup was the loss of tracking if an arm moved behind the body. Because each node tracks its own limb, we’ve been able to circumvent that. “It also can be used on a wifi setup, which means there’s no wires attached,” she continued. “We’ve even tracked a student around the building and watched him
wave and shake hands with other students. It was really amazing to see it track so far and keep those smaller details. Perception also has SD card storage directly in the suit for times when there’s no wifi capabilities but you
need to work cordless for certain movements. That part is still in testing though.” The Perception Neuron Motion Capture System comes with 32 sensors that can be placed anywhere on the body, as well as sen-
sor-capable straps and gloves to capture the smaller finger motions. In her request for funds, Smith wrote, “Using it in conjunction with the Oculus Rifts (virtual reality See Motion on Page 8

said Steunkel. After that, senior noncommissioned officers were put in place to prepare the units for the arrival of younger soldiers from basic training. The female leadership in the brigade includes 1st Sgt. Heather Javersak, the first sergeant of Headquarters and Headquarters Company. Javersak graduated as part of the first combat engineer class of females at the RTI in March. “The training was great. The instructors at the RTI are bringing practical experiences and sharing their knowledge of deployments,” said Javersak.
“This training has helped me understand what my soldiers need.” The integration will continue to bring in female leadership in the coming months. Lower ranking females will join the units with a strong support system and leadership in place to mentor them as they grow in the combat engineering field, said Stuenkel. “We’re bringing in senior NCOs that can mentor these young females coming in as
privates,” said Stuenkel. “We can put strong females in [the units] who would mentor them as they go through the process of getting into a combat arms unit.” The integration has not changed the training standards for combat engineers or the selection of leaders, said Javersak. “It’s important that people understand that it’s not about the gender,” said Javersak. “It’s about the right soldier for the
right position, whether we’re male or female.” For more information about the Missouri National Guard, please visit www.moguard. com and our social media sites: www.facebook.com/ Missouri.National.Guard; www.twitter.com/Missouri_NG; www.youtube.com/ MoNationalGuard; www. flickr.com/photos/missouriguard; www.moguard.com/ blog; www.pinterest.com/ monationalguard/

Experiencing the Berryman Trail Although resurfacing of Berryman Road from Highway 8 to Berryman Trailhead and Campground is currently underway, visitors may take alternate routes to reach this recreation destination. Not only is the Berryman Trail officially registered as a National Scenic Trail, the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) designated the 24 mile long loop-trail with its “Epic” status—making it the only trail in Missouri to hold this honorary title. The western part of Berryman Trail’s loop also serves as a section of the Ozark Trail, a 392 mile trail system stretching across Southeastern Missouri. The Potosi/Fredericktown Ranger District of Mark Twain National Forest manages the trail. The Berryman Trail is open to hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrian users. Special recreation events are hosted at the trail several times a year, including; mountain bike
races, long distance runs, and equestrian events. The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the original trail almost a century ago; and until recently, it was showing its age. “Years of deferred maintenance and sections not designed to modern recreation standards had left the trail in serious need of some help,” stated Wilderness and Trail Manager Jonathan Brooks. Starting six years ago, the Mark Twain National Forest partnered with the Ozark Trail Association and began re-routing neglected and poorly designed sections of Berryman Trail. To date, the Ozark Trail Association and Forest Service have relocated more than five miles of trail to improve its sustainability and provide for a better user experience. Another one and a half miles of re-location and trail-work in the Kimlin Hollow area is slated for the fall of 2016. “On behalf of Mark Twain
National Forest, I want to thank the Ozark Trail Association for making these repairs possible,” said Acting Forest Supervisor Wade Spang. “The trail is better than ever and sees all 24 miles getting maintained annually,” said Brooks. “So break out your backpack, saddle up your horse, or pump up those mountain bike tires and come out and experience the Berryman Trail for yourself!” The Berryman Trail, Campground, and Recreation Area will remain open to the public during the resurfacing project; but visitors will need to use other roads to reach it. Alternative routes to access the Berryman Recreation Area are identified as follows: - From Potosi: Take Hwy 185 to left onto Hwy AA, to right onto Floyd Tower road, to left onto Berryman Road, to campground on right; or take Hwy 8 to right onto FR2438 (aka Flatwoods Road), to left

Following the Money Trail The General Assembly fell short of one of my main goals for this legislative session, which was the improvement of the ethical standards to which state lawmakers and elected officials are held. Even though three major ethics bills were passed this session, one improvement is yet to be made, in my opinion. In order to maintain a level of trust between the public and its government, proper ethical guidelines must be created and adhered to. One
The Time to Fight Back
Here we are again. News of another terrorist attack abroad is rocking us here at home. 1 month after Orlando, 4 months after Brussels, 7 months after San Bernardino, 8 months after the last Paris attacks – the list sadly goes on. Something has to change. Clearly the current response to strengthening terrorist networks emerging around the world is not working. The top responsibility of your federal government is to provide for safety, security and protection of the American people, and it’s failing. What is apparent is that this form of intimidation and awful terror is not going away. The current Administration’s approach has been to close our eyes and wish it away, all while blaming the 2nd amendment of the U.S. Constitution – that simply won’t work. When 19 terrorists attacked us on September 11th 2001, our country pledged to fight these terrorists at their doorsteps, to not rest until each person responsible was made to answer for their heinous crimes. We took the fight to al-Qaeda, we showed up in their homes, dragged them out and sent them to a military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to answer for their crimes. We gained intelligence on, pursued and ultimately eradicated Osama Bin Laden from the face of this earth. No longer can America wish away the threat groups like ISIS pose. We have to take the fight directly to them. These radical terrorist groups hide in caves, hide in shadows and sit undeterred simply planning their next atrocity with no answer from the beacon of freedom and democracy, the United States. Their intentions are clear – with each attack they gain in strength, and with growing numbers they intend to attack us here at home. They want to intimidate us, change us, and kill us; they fear our way of life, the freedoms our country stands for and want to inflict harm on the millions of innocent civilians which call America home. Why are we sitting idle waiting for that to happen? They plan their attacks and spread their hate on social media, we should be disrupting their communications. They spew their terrorist propaganda on their own radio networks, we need to bomb their stations, towers and broadcast capabilities. They boast about their latest murder of innocents, we must answer with attacking them in their homes until they are no longer capable of such acts. My frustration extends beyond an unwillingness to engage militarily these terrorist groups around the world. It is rooted in the fact that under this Administration, since 2012, we have shrunken our Army by 100,000 soldiers – to a point where our Generals have warned that our reduced military presence has “put at substantial risk our ability to conduct even one sustained major combat operation.” Today our Air Force is the oldest and smallest it has been in recent history. Simply put, we aren’t prepared and Americans are left vulnerable. When we pull back from having a strong military presence around the globe, it allows others, those with different goals, a different world vision and a destabilizing mentality to fill the void left in our own wake. When we disengage with the threats of the world, the threats of right now, it perpetuates a rosy but fantasy filled view of the world that everyone is our friend and ally and we have no enemies wishing to do the innocents in this country harm. That just simply isn’t the world we live in today. Groups that spread this type of hate and carry out these murders in the world only answer to strength and fear. We can’t negotiate with them, we can’t placate them and we can’t succumb to their demands of bringing our country to its knees. This is the war of this generation, and it’s time we remove ourselves from the sidelines and answer the need to keep American’s safe. The only way to prevent future attacks is for radical Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS to know that there are consequences for attacking innocents, and those consequences will mean their complete obliteration from the holes they cower in. We owe that to the people of Brussels, the people of Paris, and the 320 million Americans who place their hand over their heart when they hear the Star Spangled Banner.
area in particular, which was not successfully addressed in the past session, was the issue of anonymous political donations and the ethical problems created by them. The biggest issue with anonymous contributions is an obvious one – trust cannot be established when a campaign or official is receiving money from a secret source. While any inquiring citizen can look at the Missouri Ethics Commission’s webpage, at http:// mec.mo.gov/, and view what elected officials are receiving contributions and who the contributions are coming from, there is one loophole that lobbyists and donors can go through to remain anonymous. These outside anonymous donors usually work through a nonprofit organization or a political action committee, and can donate to campaigns without fear of the money being traced back to them. This is the opposite of transparency between the government and its people, as the public and elected officials have a right to know the source of contributions. I have had issues with this same problem during my time in the Legislature, when I received a Missouri State University t-shirt which was reported as a donation on my ethics report. Even though I returned the shirt, and did not want or ask for it in the first place, it took a very long time for the report to be amended and the record of the gift removed. Even so, opponents of mine ran a television smear campaign against me, claiming that I have accepted clothing as a contribution from lobbyists. This is simply not true. Please check the last three years of my contribution record, and you will see that I have not accepted any donations that I have not returned or reimbursed. Citizens should always be able to view where their senators, representatives and other officials are getting their money, especially during campaign years such as this one. This is an important topic for the public to be aware of with the campaign season now upon us, and I urge you all to visit the Ethics Commission’s website and keep yourself informed on the flow of money within your state government. Be suspicious of any out-of-state donations you find, and ask yourself the following question – why are Missouri politicians being given these anonymous outside contributions? 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) 7511882.

10 Ways Seniors Can Avoid Identity Theft Dear Savvy Senior, What can seniors do to protect themselves from identity theft? My brother-in-law, who’s 77, recently had his identity stolen and I want to make sure it doesn’t happen to me. Worried Relative Dear Worried, Great question! Each year around 17 million people fall victim to identity theft, which happens when someone gets access to your Social Security number, bank or credit card account number, or other identifying information and uses it to steal from you. Here are some free steps you can take to reduce your risks. Guard your personal information: Never give your Social Security number, credit card number, checking or savings account numbers to anyone unless you initiate the contact. Also, do not carry your Social Security card around in your wallet or purse, and don’t carry around your Medicare card either unless you’re going to the doctor. Get off mailing lists: Put a stop to preapproved credit-card offers, which is a gold mine for ID thieves. To do this visit optoutprescreen.com or call 888-567-8688 – they will ask for your Social Security number and date of birth. You can stop other junk mail at dmachoice.org, and reduce telemarketing calls at donotcall.gov. Use strong passwords: To safeguard your personal data on your smartphone or tablet don’t use a password that’s easy to hack, like 1234 or 0000. Also, make your computer passwords more than 8 characters long, with uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like # and %, and use different passwords on different accounts. If it’s hard to remember them, try a password manager service like dashlane.com, truekey.com or lastpass.com. Be wary of unknown emails: Never click on links in emails from strangers, or those that claim to be from the Social Security Administration, IRS or other government agencies, or from your bank, phone or credit card company warning of a “problem.” This can result in identity-stealing malware being installed on your computer. To protect your computer from malware, install antivirus software (see avg. com and avast.com for free options) and set up automatic security updates and full weekly scans. Secure your mail: Empty your home mailbox quickly or buy a locked mailbox to deter thieves. And mail outgoing payments from a U.S. Postal Service mailbox or the post office, not from your more vulnerable home mailbox. Get safer credit cards: If you don’t already have one, get an EMV chip credit card from your credit card provider. They’re much more difficult for fraudsters to hack than magnetic strip cards. Shred unneeded documents: Buy a crosscut paper shredder so you can shred all unneeded records, receipts, statements, preapproved credit offers or other papers you throw out that has your financial or personal information. Monitor your accounts: Review your monthly bank and credit card statements carefully, and see if your bank or credit card issuer offers free alerts that will warn you of suspicious activity as soon as it’s detected. If they do, sign up for them or use eversafe.com, which will do it for you for a small fee. Watch your credit: Check your credit report at annualcreditreport.com or call 877-322-8228. You can receive one free report a year from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), so consider staggering your request so you can get one free copy every four months. Set up security freezes: If you don’t plan to apply for new credit, loans, insurance or utility services, freeze your credit reports so crooks can’t open up new accounts in your name. Rules vary by state, but the $5 to $20 fee is waived if you’re 65 or older, or show proof of past ID theft. Security freezes are set up at all three credit bureaus at equifax.com, experian.com and transunion.com. 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.
Dust off your boots and mark your calendar for the 8th Annual Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) Blue Jean Ball. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, September 24 at Risner’s Stables in West Plains. A bull riding theme is planned with
entertainment by the Little Buckers of Koshkonong and the Vikki McGee Band. You also can try your spurs at the mechanical bull and your luck with Bobwhite Bingo. Tickets for the event are $50 (or $65 at the door) and may be purchased at the
Big Springs Register of Historic Places. Planning, including architectural and engineering design for several of the projects has been underway for some time, and a schedule for completion of each of the major projects has been tentatively established. • Summer 2016: Flood damage repair work on Big Spring Bridge, ensuring safe bridge operation until the bridge is replaced. Flood damage repair of the Big Spring Picnic Shelter. • July 2016: Begin the complex process of development of a short-term, temporary concession contract to re-open Big Spring Lodge and Cabins in May 2017 with basic dining and lodging services.

Completion date to be determined. • 2020: Begin construction to stabilize and restore two stone retaining walls, stone walkways, boat ramp, and benches damaged from repeated flood events. Completion date to be determined. According to Riverways Superintendent Larry Johnson, “We understand and share the frustration felt by many of our visitors over
the closure of the Big Spring Lodge and Cabins. There is great passion for this place, as both a traditional destination and a significant part of the local heritage. It is our intention to bring back the former glory and popularity of the Big Spring area, which includes getting the Lodge and Cabins back in operation as soon as possible. We ask for your continued patience as we work through the complex planning and funding process.” For information on Ozark National Scenic Riverways, visit the park Facebook page, the park website at www.nps.gov/ozar or phone (573)323-4236. Updates will be provided as the project progresses.
From Page One library. There are going to be certain days during the semester set-aside just for this. Anyone is welcome to come in and watch the animations being captured, as well. We just can’t promise you’ll leave without a stitch in your side. It gets pretty funny watching someone swim on a table reenacting a shark attack. There are also capabilities for virtual reality controls with it which I’m hoping
to incorporate in classes this coming year.” Student Michael Scheidt, West Plains, has used the system to record animation. “It was a little awkward at first, but after wearing it for 15 minutes, I forgot it was even on. It just became acting,” he explained.

one of the lowest costing mo-cap suits out there, can be a big hit for one department to cover the cost, especially for one as tech-heavy as ours. We couldn’t have done it without their help, and we can’t thank them enough.” THE ANNUAL FUND Begun in 2007, the Missouri State-West Plains Annual Fund is different from those found at other universities, according to Director of Development Joe Kammerer. While many universities have nondiscretionary annual funds, Missouri StateWest Plains’ fund is used to serve five very specific categories of need – scholarships; emergency grants; educational initiatives; campus technology, labs and facilities, which the motion capture system falls under; and University/Community Programs. “Our goal is to be good stewards of our supporters’ money,” Kammerer said. “We want to have a level of transparency and make people feel welcoming toward the fund. These categories let us show our supporters where the funds are going.” Kammerer said the fund helps bridge the financial gap when needed projects or programs go over-budget or obtain something necessary to reach the next level of enhancing the educational experience. Any amount donated to the fund, big or small, makes a difference, Kammerer said, and it’s a great opportunity for those who aren’t in a position to donate on a large scale to show their support for the university. “Every gift is the right size, and it’s a great place to start,” he said.

Katydids join July summer symphony
Discover nature and learn more about Missouri’s loudest insect Joini ng in the July chorus of cicadas, crickets, and frogs this summer are katydids. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages people to discover nature by learning more about Missouri’s loudest insect. Katyd ids are a type of grass hopper. Their bodies have long slender legs, large, veine d wings and antennae that are twice as long as most grasshoppers. Some call them long-horned grasshoppers because of their antennae. Katyd ids are the insects that produce a distinct loud chirp , almost like singing “katy-did-katy-didn’t.” These insec ts create the sound by rubbing their wings together.
The sharp edge of the right front wing moves rapidly against a file-like ridge on the left wing to make the distinct chirp. To attract a mate, male katydids produce an earsplitting hum that can be louder than a lawn mower. These insects are believed to mate mostly at night, and to use their long antennae to help locate each other. Both male and female katydids chirp and hum to attract mates. After mating in the fall, the female lays her eggs on bark and young stems. The eggs are dormant through winter and hatch the following spring. Most katydids look ex-
actly like leaves. However, a genetic mutation caused by recessive genes producing too little pigment, can sometimes cause the usually green bug to appear bright pink. Although it can be hard to ignore the sounds of katydids in the summer, it is rare to see them until autumn, when the cool air makes them clumsy and causes them to land on the ground. Keep an eye, and especially an ear, out for these loud yet elusive insects in July. For more information on katydids visit MDC’s online Field Guide at http://on.mo. gov/29oOmrh or watch a Katydid - Discover nature and learn more about Missouri’s loudest insect, the katydid. video here.

Urban Rangers float the Current River
Urban Rangers - Recently the Urban Rangers floated from Welch Spring to Pulltite on the Current River. The Urban Rangers is a group of around 35 Kansas City high school and college boys that help with community service and learn leadership skills for their future. This was the seventh year that the group has come to Shannon County to get away from the big city and learn and enjoy the natural resources. The Missouri Department of Conservations Outreach and Education Division in Kansas City teamed up with the Urban Ranger group to bring these outstanding young men to the area so they can fish, canoe, camp and learn about the outdoors. Many of these young men have never been fishing or camping so this is quite the experience for them. The MDC Forestry and Protection staff in the Ozark Region cooks lunch for the group one day and talks to them about the duties that we perform and what it takes to become a Forester or Conservation Agent.

Fescue Management Clinic August 2 University of Missouri Extension’s class “Fescue Management Clinic What is Fescue Toxicosis,” will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday, August 2 at the MSU Fruit Experiment Station, 9740 Red Spring Road, Mountain Grove. Program participants will learn what fescue toxicosis is, how it impacts livestock, and management practices to alleviate this syndrome. “Participants will go home with practical tools on how to manage fescue toxicosis,” said Sarah Kenyon, a agron-
omy specialist with University of Missouri Extension. The cost to attend the workshop is $10 per person. Advanced registration is required by Monday, August 2. For more information on the class or to register, call MU Extension at (417) 547-7545. “Fescue toxicosis results in significant economic loss to farm operations each year. Learning ways to manage this can increase average daily gain and conception rates; thereby, increasing farm productivity,” said Kenyon. The Wright County Exten-
sion office is located inside the Missouri State University Fruit Experiment Station at 9740 Red Spring Road, Mountain Grove, Mo. Funding and support for the local office comes from the Wright County Commission, MSU, and City of Mountain Grove. MSU provides Wright County Extension with office and classroom space as part of a joint sponsorship and programming agreement signed in 2015. University of Missouri Extension programs focus on the high-priority needs of Wright County residents to improve lives, communities, and economies by providing relevant, responsive and reliable educational solutions. Wright County Extension, with oversight by locally elected and appointed citizens, is your local link to practical education on almost anything. More information on this topic is available online at http://extension.missouri.edu/Wright.
drawings range from full portraits to illustrations of skulls, tracks, and other identifying characteristics. The new edition adds illustrations by MDC Artist Mark Raithel on elk and other newly included spe-
cies. The popularity of this work as a college textbook and general reference book, and a desire to contain the most current and accurate information, led to two previous revisions in 1981 and
2001. “The Wild Mammals of Missouri” reference book is available for $49.95 at MDC nature centers and through its online Nature Shop at mdcnatureshop. com

I-70 traffic switch near Boonville:
Travel reduced to one lane in each direction for 45 days Repairs to the Lamine River bridges west of Boonville will begin to significantly affect Interstate 70 traffic. Westbound traffic will narrow to one lane late tonight. Eastbound traffic will be reduced to one lane by Tuesday morning, and all vehicles will share a bridge beginning Wednesday, July 13. A single lane will run in each direction for up to 45 days. The bridge closures are expected to cause significant travel delays, especially on peak travel days, the biggest of which are Thursdays and Fridays. Missouri Department of Transportation officials are strongly encouraging I-70 motorists to use alternate east-west routes, such as U.S. Routes 50 and 36, while the project is in progress.
The eastbound bridge will be improved first and will take about 22 days. The westbound bridge will be rehabilitated after the eastbound bridge is finished and that work will last about 23 days. Both bridges are scheduled to be completed by the end of August, at which time traffic flow will return to two lanes in each direction. The message boards along I-70 will alert motorists to the bridge work. In addition, a Smart Work Zone system is in place to keep motorists informed and traffic moving. The system uses cameras and sensors to determine travel times through the project limits and provide real-time travel updates to motorists via message boards. All drivers are encouraged to use the zipper
merge technique on the approach to the work zone, which means using both lanes all the way to the merge point, then taking turns to merge into the open lane. When motorists use both lanes of traffic until reaching the defined merge area and then alternate in “zipper� fashion into the open lane, the overall length of the traffic backup could be reduced by 40-50 percent. More information about the zipper merge can be found at http://www.modot.org/workzones/ZipperMerge.htm. Other tools that will help motorists navigate the work zone, including traffic cameras located near the bridges, can be found on the project website - www.modot.org/ central/I70LamineBridge. htm.
