The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages people to discover nature this summer by learning more about cicadas. There are two types of cicadas, annual and periodical. As their names suggest, annual cicadas make an appearance every summer in July, whereas periodical cicadas emerge in 13 and 17-year cycles in late May. Annual cicadas have dark eyes and greenish bodies, unlike the slightly smaller periodicals which have red eyes and blackish bodies. After spending two-to-five years underground feeding on root juices, the annual cicada nymphs emerge and begin the search for mates using their raspy hum. The cicada’s endless drone seems to come from everywhere. Cicadas emit a sound that can reach up to 95 decibels, depending on proximity. See Cicadas on Page 2

Combined efforts return Greer Mill to life on 50th anniversary Stabilization continues on the historic Greer Roller Mill, located near Greer Spring on the Mark Twain National Forest. Volunteers from HistoriCorps, AmeriCorps, and Friends of the Eleven Point have been hard at work continuing repairs on the site. Archaeologists with the US Forest Service have lent their expertise to keep the project moving forward and to ensure repairs stay true to the historic nature of the property. The Greer Mill restoration is an official Pasport in Time (PIT) project through HistoriCorps. Volunteers interested in saving history come together for PIT projects to prevent historic sites, like Greer Mill, from being lost—giving the American public a chance to enjoy a preserved piece of their history. The revival of this old grist mill also coincides with 2016 being the 50th anniversarey of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Young adults working through Americorps, representing the Shawnee and Eastern Shawnee Tribes of Okalahoma, spent a week on the project this summer. Billy Bryant (crew leader),

That is the equivalent noise level of a Boeing 737 before landing. Unlike crickets rubbing together parts of their wings to create a chirp, male cicadas rapidly vibrate a piece of their exoskeleton to produce their loud call. Despite the mild sound annoyance cicadas induce, the insect is a valuable food source for wildlife such as birds and other insects. In other countries it’s common for people to chow down on the meaty bug due to its predictable emergence in the summer. Cicadas pose no threat to people and minimal threats to trees. While Missouri doesn’t have to worry about a large periodical cicada invasion
From Page One this summer, states toward the east such as Ohio and West Virginia are dealing with a 17year brood. The next 13-year periodical will not make an ap-
pearance in Missouri until 2024. For more information on cicadas visit MDC’s online Field Guide at http://on.mo.gov/1Ubs3pQ.

Congressman Jason Smith Capitol Report: An Ongoing Celebration We celebrate our nation’s Independence Day with fireworks, parades, picnics and performances of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Americans across our great nation use this day to celebrate how fortunate we all are to live in a free country and they do so in a way which brings together family, friends and communities. The good folks in Oran have been celebrating the Fourth of July for 53 years
now with their annual picnic which features an antique tractor display, music, games, and according to former Congressman Bill Emerson the best fried chicken in southeast Missouri. Willow Springs attracts people from all over with one of the most impressive fireworks displays in the region, while the City of Jackson will celebrate Independence Day with a 5k walk/children’s fun run. These are just a
few of the great celebrations happening all across south central and southeast Missouri this weekend, a scene which can be found repeated across our nation. The 4th of July truly is a special celebration, one that memorializes the valiant fight for our freedom, and symbolizes the immense national pride that so many Americans are proud to display. However, while the vast majority of us have always recog-
Resurfacing Berryman Road to begin in July Mark Twain National Forest, in cooperation with Missouri Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration and Washington County, will begin resurfacing of Berryman Road from Highway 8 to Berryman Trailhead and Campground soon after July 5. The road will be closed to through traffic for the duration of the project, which is anticipated to last four months. The resurfacing project will improve access to the Berryman Recreation Area. The 1.2 mile resurfacing project was awarded to United Bridge Builders, Inc., at just over one million dollars. Originally constructed by
the Civilian Conservation Corps, Berryman Recreation Area is a popular place to visit. It boasts several primitive camping sites, a single vault restroom and a picnic shelter. The Berryman Trail which can also be accessed from this area is a 24 mile loop trail designated as a National Recreation Trail, open to hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian use. The Berryman Recreation Area will remain open to the public during the 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 onto Floyd Tower Road, to left onto Berryman Road, to campground on the right. - From Steelville: Take Hwy 8 to Butts Road (aka Bass Resort turnoff), to right onto FR2265, which merges into Floyd Tower Road, to right onto Berryman Road to campground on the right. If you have questions regarding the project please contact the Potosi Ranger District Office at (573) 4385427.
nized this celebration and enjoyed the freedoms our country represents to the world, there are others who come and learn these values and wish to become a part of our culture. On the 4th of July this year, I have the distinct honor of celebrating those who are becoming American citizens the right way, those who went through the process, waited their turn and followed our laws. I will be participating in a naturalization ceremony in Cape Girardeau for a small group of individuals who will become official U.S. citizens. It is something we don’t often think of as American citizens ourselves, but I couldn’t think of a better day throughout the entire year to take the oath of citizenship for our country and become an American on the very day we celebrate our independence.

allowed him to meet new people from the Eastern Shawnee Tribe; and it gave him a real sense of accomplishment, working to restore a piece of history. The AmeriCorps crew has now moved to other projects on the forest. They replanted and revitalized a pollinator garden on the Eleven Point Ranger District at Sinking Creek Cabin; and they will be engaged in invasive species removal for the rest of the summer. Each volunteer will log about 300 hours of volunteer time by July 29, when their season ends. Another AmeriCorps respresentative assisting with repairs was Air Force Reservist Roseanna Arwick, who came to the project through the VetsWork program. Of course, no PIT project is possible without the help of HistoriCorps volunteers. Charlotte Helmes was the Crew Leader for the 2016 session. Other HistoriCorps members working on the mill this summer include: Pat Kennedy (job foreman), Ken Hagg, Allison Hagg, Terry Neely, Roger Stevens, Ruth Ann Skaggs, Michael Ketcherside, and Margret Stitzel. Being from Madison County, Roger Stevens and Ruth Ann Sckaggs felt very connected to the project. Mike Ketcherside has returned to the project for the third year in a row.

citizenship is certainly not an easy one. It has many requirements that must be met including being able to read, write, speak and understand English, and they also must pass a roughly 100 question test on American history and government that embarrassingly some Americans would struggle with. However, one of the most profound requirements that isn’t tested, but remains true is the sincere belief and excitement of each of these individuals to be able to consider themselves Americans. Often times our dreams are tied to things or places where we want to see ourselves professionally, but as Americans we overlook the mere opportunity to achieve those dreams because we simply are Americans. For many of these new citizens however their dream was to become an American, and that is something that is
truly special for any of us to recognize. Especially if you are able to see the tears of pride that new American citizens express through the ceremony I am honored to be a part of. As we celebrate the birth of our nation, we also celebrate the core of our beliefs and our identity as Americans. We take pride and honor our forefathers whose love of freedom created this nation we call home and remember the men and women serving in our armed forces who are committed to protecting our freedom through their service and sacrifice. However, as our 4th of July celebrations end this year there will be a few new Americans, whose celebration will be ongoing and take place every day because they have been welcomed into the greatest society and nation in the world.
From Page One coordinates closely with HistoriCorps. He recruited and organized volunteers for this project since its inception. “I am very appreciative of all the individuals and groups that joined us to breathe new life into the Greer Mill; and I am especially grateful that HistoriCorps made this an official PIT project,” stated MacNeill. Local volunteers with the Friends of the Eleven Point played a vital role in the renewal of the Greer Mill. The group’s members include President Brian Sloss, Treasurer Claire Williams, Secretary Joe Beth Anderson, Vice-President Ed Clausen, Clark Buffington, Barb Simpson, and Debbie Sallings. These volunteers paid for the new roof and other repairs through successful fundraising. They also paid for flooring repairs, provided at a generous discount, by Roberts Hardwood Flooring in Mountain View. The company made special cuts in oak and pine to replicate the old flooring. The group has acquired the the old mill’s grist stone from the original mill as well. Brian Sloss stated, “We wanted to save a local piece of history that was falling down so people can enjoy it students can learn about history and engineering, and to bring more tourism to the area.” On September 24, they willhost their third Canoe Race and Fun Float to coninue raising moneyfor the restoration. The group also plans to host a tour of themill on Oct. 15. Volunteers shared tips with each other based on their previous carpentry, framing, masonry, and other construction experience. “We have some talented people helping us,” staed MacNeil. He continued, “People skilled in construction, such as Patrick Kennedy, have led the other volunteers during some complicated repairs and re-
ally kept the Greer Mill restoration progressing through some tough obstacles.” The first year of the project was 2014; and work on the mill focused on stabilizing the foundations. This amazing engineering feat used local creek rock to rebuild a portion of the foundation of the four-story mill. Also in 2014, a new roof and new cupola were installed by Amish contractors. Once the new roof was in place, volunteers were able to start repairwork of water-damaged floors and corners. Last year, repairs centered on fixing the cribbing and replacing a massive weight bearing column. Specialty wood pieces for repairs have also been donated by Roberts Flooring over the past two years. This summer, crews have continued repairs to walls, floors, and corners. The volunteers also installed new steps leading to the mill’s front door; and started on the replacement of damaged wooden siding on the front of the mill. Friends of the Eleven Point are splitting the cost with the Forest Service for replacement windows and shutters, to be installed later this summer, that are currently on order from Amish builders. Volunteers on the project have faced physically challenging conditions in the heat of summer while lifting boards, climbing scaffolding, digging post holes, and completing many other demanding tasks. Now that the mill no longer faces any immenent danger of collapsing due to disprepair, what will become of it? The long-term destiny of a restored Greer Mill has not been decided; but the effort going into its restoration is a testament to its importance. Perhaps one day in the future, visitors can “mill around” the building once more—something Greer Mill has not witnessed since it closed in 1920.

Preliminary budget, meal pricing, asphalt bids on district agenda The Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District met Thursday, June 16 for their monthly board meeting. Items discussed included proposed/ preliminary budget, school meal and milk pricing as well as asphalt sealing bids. The board approved the consent agenda consisting of minutes from the May meeting, payments of monthly bills totaling $278,120.77 and monthly administrative/ principal reports. The consent agenda was approved after a motion made by Shelly Mantel and seconded by Beverly Denton. Items extracted from the consent agenda included payment related to individuals related to board members; monthly financial report/budget amendments; proposed/preliminary budget, school meal and milk pricing, asphalt sealing bids and the July board meeting date. A payment to Godfather’s Pizza in the amount of #395.66 and a payment to Lanna Tharp in the amount of $77.60 were approved. The monthly financial report shows the district holding a closing balance of $4,823,383.51 for the month ending May 2016. The fiscal year for the school district starts on July 1 and ends on June 30 each year. It is a written document presenting the board’s plan for allocation of the available financial resources to sustain and improve the educational funding of the school district. “The initial budget that the board will see is very ‘preliminary’ in nature,” began Superintendent Dr. Don Christensen. “We are still paying bills out of this year’s budget through the end of the month, so we won’t know our ending balances until July 1, which means we won’t know our beginning balances for the new budget. Also, we won’t finalize our local revenue projections until after we certify our assessed valuations and tax levy in a few months. This initial budget is based on our best guesses. As firm numbers become available, we will amend the budget to match.” The budget which was presented at board was a ledger showing projected revenues and expenditures. “This is very much a rough draft,” Dr. Christensen stated as he explained the im-
portant points of the budget. The preliminary budget was approved with a motion from Beverly Denton and seconded by Jennifer Foster. Every year the school district is required by DESE to calculate to determine any mandated cost increases to the school meal pricing. “There are no required changes necessary this year,” explained Dr. Christensen. The school lunch and milk prices will remain the same as last year and are as follows. Elementary Breakfast-Full Paid: $0.83, Reduced: $0.30, Adult: $1.38; Middle School/High School Breakfast-Full Paid: $0.93, Reduced: $0.30, Adult: $1.38; Elementary LunchFull Paid: $1.10, Reduced:
$0.40, Adult: $2.05; Middle School/High School LunchFull Paid-$1.55, Reduced: $0.40, Adult: $2.05. The district’s milk price will remain at $0.35. Asphalt Sealing Bids for the Birch Tree Elementary were opened at the meeting. Three bids were received including B&W Asphalt, Robertson Asphalt and JCC Lot Striping. The board chose the lowest bid which was from B&W Asphalt in the amount of $5,206.73. The motion was made by Shelly Mantel and seconded by Earl Renegar. The next meeting for the Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District Board of Education will be held on Thursday, July 7 at 6 p.m. at
the Liberty High School. The August board meeting will be held on Thursday, August 18 at 6 p.m. The board then entered

BSA national service project dedicated on Mark Twain National Forest In 2008, the Ava/Cassville/Willow Springs (ACW) Ranger District of the Mark Twain National Forest hosted the first of five projects, termed ArrowCorps5, implemented by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Arrowcorps5 was the largest, most complex, and most challenging conservation venture for BSA of its time—spanning five National Forests across the nation. Forest Service and Order of the Arrow (BSA’s national honor society) established a unified incident command (IC) to plan and implement the Arrowcorps5 project on the Mark Twain National Forest. In June of 2008, over 600 participants volunteered their time to perform glade restoration on 134 acres, cutting eastern red cedar. The
area known as Bateman was transformed from a wide, grassy bottom into a base camp much like the tent cities seen at wildland fire camps. Despite a lack of electrical hook-ups, the IC team was able to construct restrooms, showers, kitchens, and recreation facilities The glade restoration was a true ecological success; and Arrowmen5 percipients achieved a sense of comradery, built endurance, and created life-long memories. The Forest Service officially named the glade, the Arrowmen Glade to give recognition to the great group of participants for their remarkable accomplishment. On March 19, 2016, the Arrowmen Glade was officially dedicated with BSA and Forest Service staff
UPP! holds Summer Carnival
UPP! - Twenty UPPers attended the UPP! Summer Carnival on June 11. This event consisted of 15 booths both indoors and out, lunch prepared by the Mtn. View Family Youth Center, Mr. Kent DeWeese of West Plains providing a magic show and awards being given. The event ended with the traditional water balloon war. Miss Kenzie Daniels opened the event by singing “Hero”. Roger Jackson of RJ’s BBQ and Manda Stout of Sugar Tree Spa donated their time to operate booths with our many other volunteers. Sponsors included: Team Dollar Mart, Landmark Bank, Rosietish Fashion House, Ozark Mountain Leasing, Timbercreek Cinema and Sonic Drive-in. Without all of this support from the volunteers as well as sponsors it would not be possible to hold these events for such great people. Again, UPP! stands for Uniquely Perfect People and we provide socialization activities for special needs individuals in ours and surrounding areas. If you know someone who would benefit from our services or if you’d be interested in helping in any way, contact the director, Faith Collins at 417-247-0140. (Photo provided to the Standard)
present. Many memories, laughs, and some tears were shared. Darla Rein, Natural Resource Specialist with the Forest Service, ranks this project as a highlight of her career. “The bonds made with people and the professionalism of all involved is indescribable – I am truly proud to be a part of an
amazing project.” Matt Walker was the Order of the Arrow Incident Commander in 2008. “The Order of the Arrow and the US Forest Service formed a textbook Joint Incident Command structure to help secure the environment of the Arrowmen Glade; and everyone involved felt a huge sense of pride at our ac-
complishment of removing an invasive species,” stated Walker. “We liked to call it a ‘peak experience.’ This project not only improved the glade, it also showed almost 600 Boy Scouts how to make a difference in the environment. This was truly a great project which will have lasting effects on the lives of everyone involved.”

MDC encourages campers to buy firewood where they plan to burn it For many Missourians, summer means float trips, camping, and spending lots of time outdoors. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages people not to move firewood. Don’t give tree-killing insects and diseases rides to favorite camping locations. Instead, buy firewood at or near the camping destination. Invasive, tree-killing pests can hitchhike in firewood, moving much farther with campers in a single weekend than they could in years on their own. “Once in a new location, these pests can start new infestations that destroy forests, decrease property val-
ues, and costs lots of money to manage,” said MDC Forest Entomologist Rob Lawrence. “The closest convenient source of firewood to your campsite or bonfire is also the safest source of firewood from a pest perspective.” Pests that pose the biggest threats to Missouri include: emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, and thousand cankers disease of black walnut. Spring and summer are the most popular seasons for transporting these tree-killing pests. “Most pests are actively emerging from wood during the warm months, and moving firewood—even for just a few short days—can easily
spread these invasive pests to new locations,” Lawrence said. Insects and diseases can be very hard to detect in firewood since they are often concealed under bark. Even seasoned wood that has no obvious signs of bugs, holes, or sawdust can harbor insect eggs or fungal spores capable of starting a new infestation. Missouri is currently under a statewide quarantine that restricts the movement of hardwood firewood out of the state as well as the importation of hardwood firewood from some states. At this time, firewood is legal to move within the state, but officials strongly recommend not moving firewood more than 50 miles from where it was harvested to reduce the risk of spreading invasive pests. Moving firewood less than 10 miles from its origin is best. For more information about not moving firewood visit: http://www.dontmovefirewood.org or treepests. missouri.edu.

OMC honored for excellence in statewide marketing competition Great Gadgets for Aging Golfers Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any products that can help older golfers? I love to play golf, but at age 74, I have hip and back problems that make bending over to tee up or pick up the ball difficult. And I have arthritis in my thumbs that makes griping the club a problem. Ailing Eddy Dear Eddy, There are actually a wide variety of nifty golf accessories and adaptive equipment that can help older golfers who struggle with injuries, arthritis or loss of mobility. Here are several products for different needs. Bending Substitutes The game of golf requires a lot of repetitive bending and stooping that comes with teeing up the ball, repairing divots, marking the ball on the green, retrieving a ball or tee on the ground, along with picking up a club, sand rake or flag stick off the ground. For teeing up the ball without bending over, consider one of the Northcroft Golf Tee-Up devices. These are long-handled tools (1.5 to 3 feet long) that have trigger-style handgrips and a jaw that holds the ball and tee for easy placement. They cost between $69 and $72 and are available at NorthcroftGolf. com. For other tee-up solutions, see the Tee Pal ($55, TeePalPro.com) and Joe’s Original Backtee ($15, UprightGolf.com). NorthcroftGolf.com and UprightGolf.com also offer a variety of stoop-proof ball pickup accessories, divot repair and magnetic ball marker products ranging between $5 and $12. Or, if you just want a great all-around golf picker-upper, consider the Graball GrabAll Jaw – sold through Amazon. com for $10 for a package of two. It attaches to the handle end of your putter and chipper and is designed to pick up golf balls, flagsticks, putters and green side chippers. Gripping Aids To help alleviate your golf club gripping problem, there are specially designed golf gloves and grips that can make a big difference. The best gloves are the Bionic Golf Gloves (BionicGloves. com) that have extra padding in the palm and finger joints to improve grip. And the Power Glove (PowerGlove.com) that has a small strap attached to the glove that loops around the club grip to secure it in your hand. These run between $20 and $30. Another option is to get oversized grips installed on your clubs. This can make gripping the club easier and more comfortable, and are also very good at absorbing shock. Oversized grips are usually either one-sixteenth-inch or one-eighth-inch larger in diameter than a standard grip, and cost around $10 per grip. You can find these grips and have them installed at your local golf store or pro shop. Or, for a grip-and-glove combination fix, consider the Quantum Grip (QuantumGrip.com) that incorporates Velcro material recessed in the golf club grip and a companion golf glove that has mating Velcro material in the palm. Cost: $20 per grip, plus $35 per glove. Vision Helper If vision problems make finding the ball difficult, Chromax golf balls (ChromaxGolf.com) can make a big difference. These are reflective colored golf balls that make them appear larger and brighter. Cost: $10.50 for a three-pack. Ergonomic Carts There are also ergonomically designed golf carts that can help you transport your golf clubs around the course. If you like to walk, the Sun Mountain Sports Micro-Cart, V1 Sport Cart or Reflex Cart are great options. These are three and fourwheeled, lightweight push carts that that fold into a compact size for easy transport. Available at SunMountain.com for $200, $210 and $230. Or, for severe mobility loss, the SoloRider specialized electric golf cart (SoloRider.com) provides the ability to play from a seated or standing-but-supported position. Retailing for $9,450, plus a $550 shipping fee, this cart is lightweight and precisely balanced so it can be driven on tee boxes and greens without causing any damage. Federal ADA laws require that all publically owned golf courses allow them. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

the date card, brochure, program, and tickets; news releases about the event; and print and radio advertising. OMC earned a second place award in the category of Special Purpose Publication for the Blue Jean Ball invitation. The awards were presented at the MAHPRM Summer Forum in June. A statewide panel of public relations and marketing profession-
als judged the entries in this year’s competition. “We’re honored that the work of Ozarks Medical Center has been selected to receive this statewide recognition,” said Tom Keller, OMC President and CEO. “These awards highlight our efforts to keep the community informed and up-to-date about the organization and our services.” The awards competition

CBCO Blood Drive to be held in Willow Springs The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) has issued a CODE YELLOW ALERT for O Positive, O Negative, A Negative and AB Negative blood types. A Code Yellow Alert means that there is less than a two-day supply of blood for patient use at area hospitals. Donors are urged to give this week at an area blood drive or CBCO donor center. During the month of July, every participant at any CBCO blood drive will receive a free t-shirt with a great message. The shirts are a great way of saying thank you for the incredible job that blood donors do here in the Ozarks. Donors to Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) provide all of the blood for patients at 39 area hospitals. On average, a transfusion takes place every seven minutes. It takes around 200 donations each
day to meet the area’s blood needs. You can help by giving blood at the St. Paul Lutheran Church, located at 701 Main in Willow Springs on Friday, July 15 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Each donation will be awarded LifePoints as a part of CBCO’s donor rewards program. LifePoints may be redeemed online for a variety of gift cards, or points may be assigned to other meaningful causes or charities. More information on the LifePoints donor rewards program may be found at www.cbco.org. To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID.
