When our Summer Reading Program comes to an end, it’s not long until school begins again. Along with picking up school supplies, be sure your student has a Texas County Library card before he needs to check out resources for an assignment or use the internet for research. It’s free and only takes a few minutes to obtain. Next to a driver’s license, it will be the most powerful card in their wallet. Valid Texas County Library cards may be used at any of our four branches; Summersville, Houston, Cabool, or Licking. Our present veterans’ photo display will be replaced by a unique Missouri wildflowers photo display for the months of August and September. Stop by the library to enjoy the exhibit and see how many are familiar to you. Summersville Friends of the Library meet at 5 p.m. on the 2nd Monday of each month at the Summersville Branch Library. The next meeting will be held on August 11th. Everyone is invited to come and participate in the continuing growth of the new Summersville Branch Library.

The Bureaucratic VA Needs Real Reform Forty-five years after American innovation sent man to the moon, the VA is still processing claims on paper. The Department of Veterans Affairs was created in 1930 and has been reluctant to accept technological and administrative advancements throughout its 84 year history. The result is a backlog that makes the process of seeing a doctor a troublesome or sometimes unnavigable task for our veterans. I am committed to assisting veterans in Southeast and South-Central Missouri who truly deserve a VA that is working for them. The failings of the antiquated VA have had real and serious consequences for far too long. Wait times of more than three months for the patriots who defend our freedoms is absolutely unacceptable. Once our veterans return home, they should never have to worry about receiving the benefits they have earned. The VA suffers from not only outdated technology, but also burdensome bureaucracy and is overdue for an upgrade. The men and women who have made sacrifices for our freedoms deserve our immediate action. The House has moved on three key pieces of legislation to deliver relief to our veterans. I cosponsored and voted for H.R. 4031, the Department of Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act and H.R. 4810, the Veteran Access to Care Act. H.R. 4031 gives the Secretary of the VA the authority to hold executives accountable for their failings. H.R. 4810 provides non-VA medical care to veterans who have experienced unacceptable wait times or have to drive more than 40 miles to a VA medical facility. These bills passed in the House, but are still waiting in conference for Senate approval. I have also cosponsored H.R. 5131, the Act Now for Veterans Act. H.R. 5131 requires the VA to cover private care for Veterans that have to wait more than 30 days from their requested appointment with a VA provider. Our service members put so much on hold while serving our country. When they return, they shouldn’t experience arduous delays. It is important that we recognize unreasonable burdens such as long waits and eliminate these barriers for our veterans. These bills would make targeted and real changes to the VA system, but they cannot be implemented until they are passed by the Senate and sworn into law. Any institution that has been resistant to improvement for 84 years cannot efficiently or effectively help those who rely on its services. The medical needs of our veterans are urgent, and it is our duty to expedite improvements. Our veterans will always come first and I am committed to ensuring they have access to prompt and reliable healthcare services.

The cost of snack milk will increase from $0.25 to $0.35 as approved by board members during the June 2014 meeting. This increase will not affect lunch, only snack milk. The board was advised from OPAA that for the 2014-2015 school year, their milk price for extra

The company bid at $1.4385 for transport and $1.5485 for bobtail. They also stated that they would provide a performance bond. The board approved a bid from B & W Asphalt for the sealing of the Liberty High
School parking lot along with striping and painting at the Liberty Middle School.

Voter Education
On August 5 Missouri voters will head to the polls to vote for a variety of offices and will also be asked to vote on five possible amendments to the Missouri Constitution. Below are the amendments and what your vote would mean in regard to the ballot language. Constitutional Amendment 1 – “Right to Farm” A “yes” vote would limit the ability of Missouri voters and legislators to place future restrictions on farming and other agricultural related practices. According to one of the authors of the bill, Sen. Mike Parson, R-Bolivar, “If passed, Amendment 1 would protect all farmers and ranchers in Missouri. From the individual raising a few calves or hens to a row crop farm consisting of thousands of acres, the rights and protections afforded by Amendment 1 will ensure Missouri’s farmers are able to continue their operations free from unreasonable intrusion from outside interests.” A “no” vote would not amend the Missouri Constitution. Constitutional Amendment 5 – Right to Bear Arms A “yes” vote would amend the Missouri Constitution to include a statement that the right to keep and bear arms is an unalienable right. Amendment 5 also adds ammunition and gun accessories to this constitutionally protected status. A “no” vote on Amendment 5 would not amend the Missouri Constitution. Constitutional Amendment 7 – Sales Tax Increase for Transportation A “yes” vote would amend the Missouri Constitution to enact a statewide sales tax increase of three-quarters of 1 percent to be used to fund state and local transportation projects over the next 10 years. After the 10-year sunset expires, a vote will take place automatically, allowing voters to renew the tax for 10 more years. A “yes” vote on Amendment 7 would produce $480 million annually for state projects and $54 million annually for local projects. A “yes” vote on Amendment 7 will help rebuild the state’s crumbling infrastructure and fund construction projects throughout Missouri. There will be no taxes imposed on food or prescription drugs. A “no” vote would keep taxes at their current levels and would not fund the proposed construction projects. Constitutional Amendment 8 – Veterans Lottery Ticket A “yes” vote would amend the Missouri Constitution to create a Veterans Lottery Ticket. Any revenue from the sale of these new tickets would be used for projects and services related to veterans and would be administered by the Missouri Veterans Commission. Currently all revenue derived from the Missouri Lottery is constitutionally required to fund public education. A “no” vote would not authorize the creation of a Veterans Lottery Ticket. Constitutional Amendment 9 – Relating to Electronic Communications A “yes” vote on Constitutional Amendment 9 would amend the Missouri Constitution with a declaration that the people shall be secure in their electronic communications and data from unreasonable searches and seizures as they are now likewise secure in their persons and homes. A “no” vote would not amend the Missouri Constitution, thereby keeping the constitution silent regarding Missouri citizens’ rights to be secure in their electronic communications and data from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Search for Lynn Messer I am asking for help on behalf of a colleague of mine from Jefferson City. Kerry Messer, a full-time lobbyist at the Capitol, has worked on behalf of Missouri families for more than 30 years. Whether or not a person agreed with Kerry on every issue, his passion and integrity are well-known and respected. Lynn, Kerry’s wife of 34 years, disappeared sometime before the morning of July 8, without a trace. She did not take any personal items with her, including a boot she had been wearing due to a foot injury. The Ste. Genevieve County Sheriff’s Department has been conducting a massive search effort, but with no success to date. Kerry has set up a Facebook page, located here or by visiting https://www.facebook.com/ findlynnmesser, to help with the search. The website includes photos and flyers that can be distributed. If at all possible, please help solve this tragic mystery. 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 interim I may be in 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.

Amendments to be removed from the amendment. It will simply mean that Missourians do have a right to wear a concealed weapon under the states right to keep and bear arms amendment. The ballot language goes on to state that these changes would not prevent the legislature from limiting the rights of certain felons and certain individuals adjudicated as having a mental disorder. Meaning, if you’re convicted of a crime or proven to have a mental disorder, the State of Missouri can take away from gun rights. If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.
Amendment No. 7
“Should the Missouri Constitution be changed to enact a temporary sales tax of threequarters 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.” If voters were to vote “yes” this would amend the Missouri Constitution to increase funding for state, county and municipal street, road, bridge, highway and public transportation initiatives by increasing the state sales/use tax by three-quarters of one percent for a 10 year time period. It would prohibit a change in gasoline taxes and prohibits toll roads or bridges in the State of Missouri. Also included in the ballot language, voters would have to re-approve this amendment every 10 years. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) approved a list of hundreds of transportation projects so voters will know what their tax dollars will bring to the state if this amendment is approved. The list includes $4.8 billion in transportation projects. While the majority of work focuses on Missouri’s roads and bridges, it also incorporates
From Page One other modes of transportation. “One of the most impressive things about this list is the expanse of work it covers and the real, tangible value you can see for your money,” said MoDOT Director Dave Nichols. “It includes resurfacing thousands of miles of roads, improving ports, railroads and airports, and even provides additional OATS service throughout rural regions of the state.” The entire transportation improvement list and information about the amendment are available at www.modot.org/ movingforward. This amendment would have an impact on taxes.
Amendment No. 8 “Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to create a “Veterans Lottery Ticket” and to use the revenue from the sale of these tickets for projects and services related to veterans The annual cost or savings to state and local governmental entities is unknown, but likely minimal.

Visitor spending near ONSR has big impact on economy A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 1,253,703 visitors to Ozark National Scenic Riverways in 2013 spent $51,265,200 in communities near the park. That spending supported 719 jobs in the local area. “Ozark National Scenic Riverways is proud to welcome visitors from across the country,” said Superintendent Bill Black. “We are delighted to share the story of this place and the experiences it provides and to use the park as a way to introduce our visitors to this part of the country and all that it offers. National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy – returning $10 for every tax dollar invested in the National Park Service – and it’s a big factor in our local economy as well. We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities.” The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by U.S. Geological Survey economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber and Lynne Koontz for the National Park Service. The report shows $14.6 billion of direct spend-
ing by 274 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 237,599 jobs nationally, with 197,343 jobs found in these gateway communities, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.5 billion. The report does break out information on visitor spending by individual parks and by state. The 2013 Visitor Spending Effects Report can be found at http://www.nature.nps.gov/ socialscience/docs/ NPSVSE2013_final_nrss.pdf. According to the 2013 report, most park visitor spending was for lodging (30.3 percent) followed by food and beverages (27.3 percent), gas and oil (12.1 percent), admissions and fees (10.3 percent) and souvenirs and other expenses (10 percent). The largest jobs categories supported by visitor spending were restaurants and bars (50,000 jobs) and lodging (38,000 jobs).

Senior Organizations That Appeal to Conservatives Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any advocacy organizations for seniors other than AARP? I cut up my AARP card a few years back when they supported Obamacare, and am now looking for another organization that better represents me. Conservative Senior Dear Conservative, There are actually quite a few senior advocacy organizations out there promoting themselves as conservative alternatives to AARP. While AARP, with a membership of almost 38 million, is by far the biggest and most powerful advocacy group for people age 50 and older, there are millions of older Americans that don’t like or agree with their stance on various issues. Many believe AARP leans to far to the left despite its stated nonpar-
tisan nature. For seniors that are anti-AARP, there are numerous conservative leaning groups that you can join that may better represent your views, and most of them offer discount benefits too. Here are several to look into. The Seniors Coalition: Established in 1990, this nonprofit organization has around four million supporters.

Measles cases: Howell Co. Health Dept. urges residents to get vaccinated
According to the Howell County Health Department Monthly Monitor, Kansas City Metro area health departments are working with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to investigate a cluster of measles cases. To date, health officials have identified 13 confirmed cases and two probable cases around the metro that are all possibly linked to each other. Rapid identification of cases and vaccination of people at risk of infection are the primary tools in stopping the spread of this highly contagious disease. These cases are centered in a large community of immigrants from Micronesia living in the Kansas City area. In recent years, Kansas City, along with Portland, Oregon, has become a major center for immigrants coming from Micronesia. After landing in Kansas City, new immigrants frequently relocate to other communities in Missouri. While school aged children are frequently vaccinated against measles and other diseases, adults and preschool aged children are frequently not vaccinated. Lack of vaccination, coupled with living in large, extended family households provides fertile ground for spreading measles. The tendency to come together with other members of the Micronesian community in church or other social settings also contributes to the spread within the community. Measles causes fever, runny nose, cough and a rash all over the body. About one out of 10 children with measles also gets an ear infection, and up to one out of 20 gets pneumonia. For every 1,000 children who get measles, one or two will die. Adults can also get measles especially if they are not vaccinated.

Ozarks Fruit & Garden Review Missouri State University Winery by Marilyn Odneal Horticulture Adviser Our Missouri State University winery, part of the Darr School of Agriculture, did very well at the Eight Annual Mid-American Wine Competition. We received four gold medals, which included a sweepstakes award for Chambourcin Reserve, chosen as Best Red Wine, a sweepstakes nomination for Maroon Blend and a silver medal. The Missouri State winery is a commercially-licensed winemaking and distillation facility located at the State Fruit Experiment Station of in
Mountain Grove. Proceeds from product sales support research conducted on specific winemaking problems, educational opportunities for Missouri State students and outreach programs for home winemakers, such as our Home Winemaking Workshop that was held recently. People interested in commercial distillation of fruit brandies are supported through advisement and a distillation workshop offered in the spring. Right now, the earlier grape varieties are going through veraison – the beginning of ripening. We harvest grapes from August through October and processing the grapes into
Chambourcin - Dr. Karl Wilker (left) and C. J. Odneal hold up a bottle of the Chambourcin Reserve varietal wine that won the Sweepstakes award for the best red wine at the 2014 Mid-American wine Competition. (Photo provided to the Standard)
wine occurs during that time in Missouri. Wines then go through finishing operations and are bottled in the spring. The vintage year is the year in which the grapes were harvested. The medals for the 2013 vintage wines are therefore awarded in 2014 after bottling. Wine competitions are an important part of marketing for area wineries. Our entries not only allow us compare our products to the market at large, but they also give students an exposure to this important activity. So a toast to Dr. Karl Wilker, professor of enology and MSU winery/distillery manager, and to C. J. Odneal Jr., cellar technician, for crafting the awardwinning wines. Our wines are produced exclusively from grapes grown at our Experiment Station at Mountain Grove – so our entire crew including student interns, practicum students and field and maintenance supervisors and workers take pride in these wine awards.
