Mount Vernon dentist charged with defrauding medicaid Attorney General Joshua Hawley today announced that his office, along with Lawrence County Prosecutor Don Trotter, has filed criminal charges against Dr. Thomas Alms, DDS. The complaint charges that Dr. Alms of Mount Vernon, Missouri, committed three felony counts of Medicaid Fraud, and one felony count of obstructing a Medicaid Fraud investigation. The complaint alleges that Dr. Alms billed Medicaid for dental services that he did not provide including office visits, pulp vitality tests, pre-orthodontic visits, bone grafting by quadrant, and multi-sided tooth restorations. Additionally, the complaint alleges that in the course of Attorney General Hawley’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit’s investigation, Dr. Alms provided false documentation to investigators. “Criminal actions like these alleged against Dr. Alms will not be tolerated,” Hawley said. “My office is firm in its commitment to protect Missourians from fraudulent actions that cost taxpayer money.”

Firefighters to ‘Fill The Boot’ Firefighters in the Ozarks will take their boots to the streets between now and Labor Day continuing their support in the fight against muscular dystrophy and ALS. Fill the Boot began in 1954 in Boston and has grown into the greatest fundraiser in MDA history. In 2017, 69 departments will participate in this long-running event in support of local communities. Mountain View Firefighters will be collecting at area intersections Labor Day weekend. Backed by a caring community, Mountain View had another great year collecting $2,809. Contributions fuel MDA’s efforts to find research breakthroughs across diseases; to care for kids and adults from day one; and to empower families in hometowns across Missouri with services and support. In 2016, the FDA granted accelerated approval for the first drug to treat the underlying cause of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). It also approved the first disease-modifying drug for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Funds raised through the Mountain View Fill the Boot events will help support MDA’s efforts to fund groundbreaking research to accelerate treatments and cures, provide care and support at MDA Care Centers located at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, and send kids living with muscular dystrophy and related life-threatening diseases to a weeklong, barrier-free MDA Summer Camp at Camp Windermere at Lake of the Ozarks.

Former Summersville bank officer sentenced in ID theft scheme A former Summersville bank officer was sentenced Friday in federal court for a fraud scheme in the amount of $151,000.
He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to two years in federal prison without parole and will have to pay restitution to
the bank. Keith Ray Smith, 44, of Summersville, waived his right to a grand jury and pleaded guilty before U.S.
options. Then early this year the seller contacted us to resume negotiations and the purchase price of $155,000 was agreed to." He added the property had been appraised for about $700,000. Sexton said the approximately five acre tract of land with four buildings will centralize the Southern District Road Department and allow for greatly improved services
Magistrate Judge David P. Rush to a federal information that charges him with one count of making false statements on a loan application and one count of aggravated identity theft. Smith was employed as the bank loan officer and compliance officer at Community Bank in Summersville. Smith admitted that he took out numerous loans in the names of several bank customers without their authorization. Smith submitted loan applications for varying amounts, totaling $81,040, between 2015 and June 2016. Smith admitted that he used the personal identification information of bank customers, including their bank account information and social security numbers, to falsely submit the loan applications. Smith approved the loan applications for funding, then transferred the monies to his personal bank account and spent the monies to either gamble or pay for personal expenses. In addition, Smith admitted that he had used his mother’s and brother’s personal information to apply for approximately $70,000 in loans without their knowledge or approval in 2010 and 2011. Smith approved the loans and deposited the proceeds from the fake bank loans into his personal bank account to pay for his gambling addiction. Smith agreed to repay all the money owed in 2012, and his mother and brother agreed to resubmit new loan documents that would take the place of the original false loan documents. Smith’s mother and brother told agents they allowed the new loan applications to be created because they did not

Road and Bridge Dept. to benefit from property purchase The Howell County Commission approved the lease to purchase of property with facilities that will benefit the residents of Howell County and also the Road and Bridge Department on Thursday, August 24. Howell County Presiding Commissioner Mark Collins in making the announcement said the former commercial scrap yard property at 4220 U.S. Highway 160 southwest of West Plains will greatly enhance the service of the Southern District Road Department. He added, "The current facility located on County Road 4220 north of West Plains was originally the road department for both north and south road departments and the North District moved
north to a more centralized location in Pomona several years ago." Southern District Commissioner Billy Sexton said the county has been working on this purchase for about two years. Sexton said, "We originally were the high bidder when this property went to bankruptcy auction in August of 2015. The Commission had been looking for the right opportunity to relocate to a more central Southern District and that this would be a great chance to solve a long term need at a very affordable long term fiscal responsibility for the county.

Liberty drops a heartbreaker against Aurora by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
Too many turnovers. The Liberty Eagles had one of those nights last Friday when the turnovers came in bunches, and the Aurora Houn Dawgs took advantage, managing to take their first lead of the night with less than a minute left and steal a 28-21 heartbreaking victory from Eagles at the Nest in Mountain View. “We have signs that we can become a good team, but we are not there yet,” said Liberty Head Coach Darin Acklin this week. The Eagles, still reeling from the loss of starter Chase Smith who expects to be out for several weeks with a broken arm, had their hands full against a good Aurora offense that passed for 294 yards and ran for 152 more. Add eight turnovers by Liberty, six in the second half, and the opportunities for Aurora were just one too many. Despite the bad breaks, the Eagles offense out-gained Aurora. Liberty passed the ball for 211 yards as Jaris Acklin completed 17 of 28 to seven different receivers. Koel Orchard ran the ball for a whopping 257 yards and 7.1 yard average. His stats got a boost from an amazing 74-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to put the Eagles up 7-0. Liberty, in fact, led 14-0 early in the second quarter, and had a chance to make it 21-7 early in the third, but big plays from the Houn Dawgs turned the game’s momentum. After stopping Liberty on fourth and goal from the one-yard line, Clayton Dunning caught a pass on a slant route on the very next play and went 99-yards for the score. What had been 14-0, had become 14-13 and turnovers eventually doomed the Eagles. “The injury to Chase Smith has been devastating to our OL and to our defense,” explained Coach Acklin, “But we cant use that as an excuse. We are going to put our hard hats on and go to work and try to get better every day. The players efforts are there. They are disappointed. We all are. So we will keep improving on all phases of the game. It has been a long time for Liberty Football
to be in this situation, 0-2, and it is natural for people to second guess what we are doing when you are losing. We must trust what we are doing, understand why we are doing it, and keep improving.” Aurora may have had only a 2-8 record last year, but their first game against Mountain Grove last week proved they had an offense and a quarterback to reckon with. Senior John Dakato Lee wasted no time marching the Houn Dawgs downfield on the game’s opening possession. Aurora started at their own 44-yardline and went 52-yards in seven plays before the Liberty defense made a fourth down stop at the four-yard line. Backed up against their endzone, the Eagles missed getting a first down by one yard and punted, but on the next play from scrimmage, Andrew Holden forced and recovered a fumble to give Liberty the ball. Unfortunately, the Eagles handed it right back with an interception. This time Aurora drove deep inside the Eagles territory again, but once again the Liberty defense made a fourth-down stop when Ethan Smith made a tackle to give Liberty the ball at their own 26yard line. Koel Orchard promptly took a hand-off and ran the full 74 yards for a 7-0 Liberty score. The Eagles explosive offense was rolling, and two possessions later, the Eagles started to find their rhythm following an interception by the Liberty defense. Both Coltin Weldon and Colten Foster picked off the Houn Dawgs’ quarterback Friday night. The Eagles took advantage of this one, starting at the Aurora 33-yard line. Liberty picked up a first down when an 18-yard option play went to the Aurora 15-yard line. It appeared Liberty’s drive might sputter as they faced a fourth and five, but a hard run by Foster picked up the firstdown and made it first and goal from the five. A holding penalty backed the Eagles up to the 13-yard line, but a slant pass to Foster to the 2-yard line, and run by Orchard from the Wildcat formation gave Liberty a 14-0 lead. Aurora nearly scored on their next possession as they

once again drove deep into the Liberty side of the field. The Houn Dawgs used 12-plays and drove inside the Liberty five yard line before pressure by the Liberty defensive line on Lee stopped Aurora on downs. The Houn Dawgs got another chance on their next possession, however, and used a trick hook and ladder play to go 45-yards for a touchdown. A late drive by the Eagles to the Aurora 37-yard line, sparked by another big run from Orchard when he broke loose for 38-yards, ended when Liberty was unable to pick up a first down. It was 14-7 Liberty at halftime. It became 14-13 early in the second quarter when the Eagles were stopped on fourth and goal at the Aurora one yard line. On fourth and one, Aurora’s defense stopped an Orchard run, and on the next play, Dunning took a slant pass and broke free for that big 99yard play. After both teams traded interceptions, the Eagles put another touchdown on the board. It was their most impressive drive of the night as Liberty started from their own 13-yard line and drove 87 yards in 12 plays. A nine-yard pass to Jackson Conner picked a first-down at the Eagles 25-yard line. A 10-yard run by Smith picked up another, and a 13-yard pass to Landon Cooley gave Liberty a first-down inside Aurora territory at the 28-yard line. Acklin passed to Conner for a 19yard strike to give the Eagles a
first-and-goal at the nine, and three runs by Orchard punched it in for a 21-13 Liberty lead. The lead lasted one play. On first down, Aurora’s Lee tossed another slant, again to Dunning, and this time the senior wide-receiver went 58-yards for the touchdown. A two-point conversion tied the game 21-21. The Eagles had the ball five more times in the game, and three of those times they drove deep inside Aurora territory. But each drive ended in a turnover and the Houn Dawgs took advantage to score one more touchdown with less than a minute left in the game. Aurora’s crazy 28-21 victory sent the Eagles to 0-2 on the year. Liberty coaches and players aren’t giving up, however. “Losers find problems, Winners find solutions,” explained Coach Acklin, “This program will keep adjusting. It will adapt to find those solutions. We are a competitive team, and now we have to learn how to win close games.” Liberty travels to Thayer to take on the 1-1 Bobcats this Friday. PASSING FOR LIBERTY: Acklin 17 of 28, 202yds; Holden 1 of 1, 9yds; RUSHING: Orchard 36 carries, 257yds; Smith 2 carries 19 yds; Foster 1 carry 5yds; RECEIVING: Weldon 1 catch 7yds; Conner 6 catches 83yds; Holden 1 catch 7yds; Orchard 4 catches 31yds; Smith 1 catch 6yds; Cooley 1 catch 13yds; Foster 7 catches 64yds.

Fighting to expand broadband access in rural Missouri
Across the country, far too many rural businesses, schools, and health care providers are struggling to keep pace with people who live in bigger towns and cities because they lack access to highspeed internet, often referred to as broadband. That’s why, as a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, I’ve been committed to ending the digital divide and ensuring rural communities have the same opportunities to grow, compete, and succeed. For years, the government has diverted limited resources to expand broadband to cities
and towns that already have access and, in some cases, multiple providers. It’s unacceptable that 61 percent of rural Missourians lack access to broadband. Students depend on the internet to enhance their education and prepare for the jobs of the future. As one parent recently told me, students in her community have a more difficult time doing their homework because they do not have internet access close to where they live. By bringing broadband to rural areas, we’ll take an important step toward ensuring students in rural communities have access to the quality education they need. In a 21st Century economy, businesses that lack access to high-speed internet are at a competitive disadvantage. Businesses rely on high-speed internet to compete locally and reach customers outside of their marketplace. High-speed internet is also necessary for

communities to attract and retain businesses, from banks and factories to distribution centers and small businesses. Rural broadband is also critical to agriculture, our state’s top economic driver. A revolution has taken place on America’s farms in recent years. More and more farmers are utilizing wireless infrastructure, GPS, data centers, autonomous systems, and fiber optics lines for precision agriculture and high-speed commodity trading. With world food demand expected
to double in the next 30 to 40 years, making sure Missouri farmers and ranchers have access to broadband will help them take advantage of the great economic opportunities that lay ahead. Access to broadband can mean a fifteen-minute update instead of a five-hour wait when machinery isn’t working or isn’t working right. And, this isn’t just about economic opportunity. Rural hospitals and health clinics are able to use telemedicine to bring health care services to
The business climate in our state is always a big factor in the news and daily lives of many Missouri residents. This year, the state has made substantial progress in attracting business since the passage of Right to Work, tort reform and other pro-business legislation. We know that Right to Work is being held up, but its passage has already brought about some change in the work environment. This year Missouri’s ranking in the CNBC America’s Top States for Business 2017 study noted Missouri has risen nine spots in one year and is currently ranked at 22. This positive increase of nine positions was the fifth biggest jump in this year’s study. Fit Small Business Magazine has also ranked Missouri the 6th best place to start a small business. The study also shows that Missouri is ranked 17th in cost of doing business, and is 23rd in business friendliness. Across the state, there has been an increase in the enrollment at state technical colleges. These students who are seeking a skilled trade are already coming to Missouri, where we believe many will stay and establish their careers. Another recent study shows that employees in Right to Work states and states that are not report the same levels of safety, job conditions and more. The study by National Employee Freedom Week showed there is no significant difference in those factors along with number of hours worked, pay rate, benefits and more. Several states have passed Right to Work legislation and have seen an increase in jobs, union membership and increased wages including Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. All of the states immediately surrounding Missouri, with the exception of Illinois, have passed Right to Work laws. The 22 states that passed Right to Work laws before 2012 have some of the largest economic growth. We have learned from these states that it can take time to build up jobs and the economy; but we also have seen proof as Missouri starts to see these benefits. Right to Work states had more than 17 percent average growth between 2004 and 2014. During the same time period, states without Right to Work only experienced 11.5 percent growth. Research has shown that the top states for new manufacturing jobs, the states with lower unemployment rates and more private sector job growth are Right to Work states. And so far, it seems as though Missouri has already experienced this growth. 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) 751-1882.
patients in distant areas at lower costs and improved quality, particularly in mental health and intensive care. Telehealth enables patients to access resources that would otherwise only be available 100 miles away. Having that capacity saves lives. Since President Trump nominated Ajit Pai to be Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), the agency is taking positive steps to expand broadband access. I’m pleased that Chairman Pai took action after I urged him to make available $2 bil-
lion in funds for rural broadband, and to open this money up to auction so new entrants in this field, like electrical cooperatives, could competitively bid. In addition, the FCC is working to expand mobile wireless service to rural areas and reduce costs for companies upgrading from copper to fiber optic networks. I look forward to working with Missouri families and communities, my colleagues in the Senate, and the FCC to continue to expand rural access to broadband in our state.
Education Our Way Another school year has begun and the sights and sounds of Friday night lights are filling the air. The beginning of a new school year and the return of high school football also reminds me about the importance of local choice, local control and local leadership over the education of the children raised here in south central and southeast Missouri. Parents and educators who live here, who raise their families here and who know what’s best for our children should be making the decision about their education, not some bureaucrat in Washington. Our teachers are in these classrooms to teach, not to spend hours pushing paper to comply with federal testing standards which try to compare our children to ones raised in San Francisco. Teachers should be free to educate, not worrying about Washington regulations looming over them as they work to inspire their students. I was at Jefferson R-7 High School last spring when the school superintendent gave me a MASSIVE stack of papers that the federal government was requiring him to fill out, wasting hours upon hours of his time complying with government rules instead of using his time to focus on the local school district. This kind of interference from Washington in our classrooms is unacceptable. When I first joined Congress, we were able to pass legislation that would give local control back to our schools. Unfortunately, Senate Liberals and the Obama Administration wanted to keep their federal
LHS Class of 1977 holds reunion
The Liberty High School Class of 1977 held their 40th year reunion on Saturday, August 19 at the Mountain View Community Center. The event was well attended by over 50 people. Classmates came from places such as Colorado, Kentucky, Kansas, Georgia and Missouri. They enjoyed supper and shared some experiences over the past 40 years. Special thanks to Clay McClellan and those that assisted him in arranging this outstanding reunion. Many commented that this was the best reunion so far. (Photo provided to the Standard)
power over Missouri schools. They sent a watered-down version of the bill back to us, taking away the local control provisions I fought so hard for. I voted against this legislation because I know our schools run best when they are managed on the local level, and this bill left too much decision-making power about your child’s education in the hands of Washington bureaucrats. During my time in office, I have visited schools in all thirty counties which make up the 8th Congressional district. I relish the opportunity to interact with teachers, students and parents to hear more about what issues they are facing in the classroom and how I can help them. Beyond the challenges of keeping up with unrealistic and burdensome federal requirements, teachers consistently tell me they are struggling to keep their classrooms stocked with supplies, with many taking money out of their own paycheck to buy materials needed to help their students learn. Because of this, I co-authored legislation that provided hardworking teachers with a tax cut on the supplies they buy on their own which will help our teachers save money while providing supplies for their students. At almost all of my stops, I also heard about how much waste was being created by programs like Michelle Obama’s federally mandated school lunch plan. In 2010, then First Lady Michelle Obama along with liberal leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid took their interference from the classroom to the lunch room and unveiled new government rules for how your kids should eat when they are at school, creating more expenses and unfunded Washington mandates for our local school districts – often resulting in schools having to scale back the amount of meals they could afford to serve. As students get back to school and you head out to enjoy the local high school football game, Congress must get back to work and take action on tax cuts, infrastructure investments, lowering healthcare costs, and improving national security. As we work on these issues, I will continue my fight to keep Washington out of Missourians’ homes, pocketbooks, family farms and children’s classrooms, making sure you and your family can enjoy the freedom of locally controlled schools.

INCIDENTS Monday, August 21, 2017 thru Monday, August 28, 2017 Officers were given a name and number to call in reference to a ladies’ vehicle being hit. She believes it had happened while at the Mtn. View Nursing Home but hadn’t noticed the damage until later. A report was made. Officers were asked to go to the area of Herman Street in regards to a trailer home door being wide open and a dog running around that the caller says is normally on a leash. Officers arrived and made contact with the caller and then the home owner who had the door open for the cooler air, she also had not known the dog was off of the leash but advised once her son makes it home he will get it put up. Dispatched to North Ash for a disturbance in progress. Prior to arrival dispatch reported that someone was going to burn the apartments down. Upon arrival officers spoke with both parties. One individual was trying to get her property out of the apartment she recently stayed at. Her property was removed from the apartment. Both females had active warrants and were arrested. Officers were in the police department when a gentleman came in to speak with officers about people ripping the paint off of his home. He asked for extra patrol as he believed it to be close neighbors who were doing it. After speaking with him for a bit officers followed him to his home where he showed officers what they were doing. He had no trespassing signs up and so officers advised him to call if he believes anyone to be on his property. Officers also let him know they would let other officers know of the incident. Alarm at Walgreens, all doors secure, nothing found. Officers received a call to respond apartments for a custody dispute. Upon arrival he met with a man who told him that the mother of his daughter was arrested last night and he would like to have his daughter. Officers asked if he had presumption of paternity. He said that he did not, but he was in the process of getting a DNA test order done so that he would have presumption. Officers advised him that he had no legal right to take his daughter from whoever had custody of her but if custody was given willingly, it would be fine. After speaking to him at length about how the mother of the children was not putting them in school and that she would dump them at random places, he went with him to see the person who had custody of them right now. Officers were let into the home and the guardian said that there would be no issues with him taking his daughter and that they were upset that the mother had forced the children to say to a recording that they did not love their fathers. The guardian said that the mother regularly dumps the kids on them without notice and that they have the children most of the time. The guardian also said that they knew the mother was denying the fathers to have anything to do with their respective children even though multiple fathers had been trying for some time to take care of their children and that the mother was now being investigated for fraud from stealing the children’s money. Officers escorted the father and his daughter outside and cleared the scene.

MSHP: Have a safe Labor Day Weekend
Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, urges Missouri’s travelers to drive and boat responsibly during the 2017 Labor Day weekend. Whether you are driving or boating, safety must be at the forefront of your plans. In Missouri, 20 people died and 429 were injured in 1,028 traffic crashes over the 2016 Labor Day holiday. That means one person was killed or injured every 10.4 minutes. Of that total, troopers worked 293 traffic crashes, which included 139 injuries and 14 of the fatalities over the 2016 Labor Day holiday. Troopers arrested 100 people for driving while intoxicated during last year’s holiday weekend. The 2017 counting period for the Labor Day holiday will be from 6 p.m., Friday, September 1, through 11:59 p.m., Monday, September 4, 2017. The Highway Patrol will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Crash Awareness & Reduction Effort) over the Labor Day holiday weekend. Speed, inattention, and impaired driving are leading causes of traffic crashes. Thus, all available troopers will be patrolling Missouri’s roadways enforcing Missouri’s speed limit, seat belt, and impaired driving laws, in addition to being available to assist motorists. Troopers throughout the state will participate in a special enforcement operation on September 1, and again on September 4. This operation will include Interstates 29, 44, 55, and 70, and U.S. Highways 60 and 61. Troopers will be targeting all traffic violations, and be especially vigilant of aggressive driving violations. The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.” Col. Karsten reminds the public that the Labor Day holiday is a busy boating weekend. In 2016, there were 10 boating crashes which included zero fatalities and 10 injuries. There were no drownings over last year’s Labor Day holiday. Troopers arrested 12 people for boating while intoxicated during last year’s counting period. In an effort to increase safety on our state’s waters, all available officers will be working over the holiday weekend. Missouri’s boaters are asked to do their part by remaining alert for other boats and swimmers, and being courteous on the water. With more boats on the water, it is even more important to pay attention when operating a vessel. Remember: Never operate a vessel while you are impaired. Alcohol consumption slows reaction time. Avoid overloading your boat with too many passengers and pay close attention to the boats around you. Check your vessel’s navigation lights before heading out at night, be sure to have spare bulbs on board, and observe Missouri’s nighttime speed limit of 30 mph on the water. Causing harm to another person or their property with an excessive boat wake may subject you to enforcement action or civil liability. Treat other boaters and property owners as you want to be treated. Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!! “Let’s say farewell to summer 2017 with a safe Labor Day holiday,” said Colonel Karsten. “Use a seat belt in a vehicle or a life jacket when you’re on or near the water. No matter what you are operating--a vehicle or a vessel--be a courteous driver and obey all applicable laws. Safety starts with you. It really is that simple.” The public is encouraged to call the Patrol’s Emergency Report Line (800) 525-5555 or *55 on your cellular phone if they witness criminal activity or experience an emergency. These emergency numbers are operational for both highway and water emergencies. If your celebration includes alcohol, designate someone else to drive whether you are in your boat or your car. Please don’t become a statistic.

How to Stop Unwanted Junk Mail and Guard Against Mail Fraud Dear Savvy Senior, My elderly father gets over 100 pieces of junk mail every week, and I just discovered that he’s given away nearly $5,000 over the past few months to many of the solicitors that mail him this junk. Can you offer any tips on how can I stop this? Irritated Son Dear Irritated, Millions of older Americans get bombarded with unwanted junk mail these days, including “mail fraud” schemes that you and your dad need to be particularly careful of. Here’s are some tips that may help. Mail Fraud Alert While junk mail comes in many different forms – credit card applications, sweepstakes entries, magazine offers, coupon mailers, donation requests, political fliers, catalogs and more – the most troublesome type is mail fraud, which comes from con artists who are only trying to take your money. Mail fraud can be tricky to detect because there are many different types of schemes out there that may seem legitimate. Some of the most common mail scams targeting seniors today are phony sweepstakes, foreign lotteries, free prize or vacation scams, fake checks (see FakeChecks.org), donation requests from charities or government agencies that don’t exist, get-rich chain letters, work-at-home schemes, inheritance and investment scams, and many more. If your dad is getting any type of junk mail that is asking for money in exchange for free gifts or winnings, or if he’s receiving checks that require him to wire money, you need to call the U.S. Postal Inspector Service at 877-876-2455 and report it, and then throw it away. Unfortunately, once a person gets on these mail fraud lists, also known as “suckers lists,” it’s very difficult to get off. That’s because these criminals regularly trade and sell mailing lists of people who they believe to be susceptible to fraud, and they won’t remove a name when you request it. Knowing this, a good first step to help protect your dad is to alert him to the different kinds of mail fraud and what to watch for. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service can help you with this. They offer a list of the different mail fraud schemes at PostalInspectors.uspis.gov. Another option is to see if your dad would be willing to let you sort through his mail before he opens it so you can weed out the junk. You may want to have the post office forward his mail directly to you to ensure this. If your dad feels compelled to donate to certain charities, ask him to let you check them out first to make sure they’re legitimate. You can do this at charity watchdog sites like CharityNavigator.org and Give.org. Reduce Junk Mail While scam artists aren’t likely to take your dad’s name off their mailing lists, most legitimate mail-order businesses will. To do this, start with the Direct Marketing Association, which offers a consumer opt-out service at DMAchoice.org. This won’t eliminate all his junk mail, but it will reduce it. The opt-out service is $2 for 10 years if you register online, or $3 by mail. Then, to put a stop to the credit card and insurance offers he gets, call the consumer credit reporting industry opt-out service at 888-567-8688, and follow the automated prompts to opt him out for either five years or permanently. Be prepared to give his Social Security number and date of birth. You can also do this online at OptOutPrescreen.com. If you choose the permanent opt-out, you’ll have to send a form in the mail. You should also make sure your dad’s home and cell phone numbers are registered with the National Do Not Call Registry (DoNotCall.gov, 888-382-1222), to help cut down on telemarketing calls. 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.
Grief Recovery Program to begin at TCMH Sept. 11 Registration is now being accepted for the “Grief Recovery Method: Grief Support Group” sponsored by Texas County Memorial Hospital Hospice of Care.

don’t know how to accomplish that,” McDaniel said. “The Grief Recovery Method provides the partnerships and guidance that individuals need to be able to move on with life after a loss.” The program will provide an action plan for moving beyond death, divorce and other losses such as job loss or health loss. There is no charge for the program, and the group is open to anyone that is seeking support following a loss.

Did you know that one in 68 children have autism? The incidence of autism has skyrocketed over the past few decades. The reason for the increase in autism is unknown, but more children are diagnosed with the disease as more parents, educators, and healthcare providers have increased their ability to recognize the signs of autism. Autism is a developmental disorder with a wide range or “spectrum” of symptoms, problem and levels of disability. Social skills and communication skills are primarily affected when a child has autism, but it takes a clinical diagnosis by an autism spectrum center for a child to have access to the resources available for children with autism. In Missouri and nationwide, the wait times are typically 12 to 18 months for a child to be seen by an autism specialist that can give an official diagnosis. The six locations in Missouri that provide specialized autism treatment and diagnosis are located in urban areas which are not easily accessible by rural residents. The earlier a child is diagnosed with autism, the quicker the child and the family can begin properly addressing the issues related to diagnosis. In 2015, The University of Missouri Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders began an ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) autism project through their facility. The project uses telehealth technology to train and then to support community primary care providers to increase access to diagnoses and care for autistic children. The MU autism program is called “ECHO Autism STAT Program”, and it was created to help children and their families find a community-based STAT provider that can examine and diagnose the child without a long wait. Studies have shown that children receiving treatment from a specially trained primary care provider in their own community have the same or better outcomes as children receiving care at academic medical centers where the programs are based. Dr. William Wright, family medicine physician at
the Texas County Memorial Hospital Medical Complex in Houston, recently became a STAT provider after training with the Thompson Center for over a year. The intensive training covers the identification of autism spectrum disorder and the management of common medical and psychiatric concerns in children with autism spectrum disorder. In addition to the training from The Thompson Center, Wright has achieved reliability in the Screening Tool for Autism. The screening tool, developed by Vanderbilt University, is used by Wright in a patient room equipped with a child-size table and chairs. The test takes about 30 minutes for a child to complete, depending upon his or her cooperation. After the screening is complete, Wright presents his findings to other autism professionals via telehealth to determine if an official diagnosis of autism should be given. “It’s difficult to make an accurate autism diagnosis,” Wright said, explaining the need for specialized autism spectrum disorder training for healthcare providers. According to Wright, healthcare providers don’t have a “simple test for autism”. Instead, they must observe the how a child responds to a specific set of activities and talk with the child’s parents about a child’s behaviors and social skills. Wright explained that many times when a young child is at home daily with a parent, the parent may not

notice certain behaviors in a child that a healthcare provider or an early childhood education would notice as unusual for the child’s age. Many children with autism are not diagnosed until they are older and in preschool or in elementary school. “It’s really important to diagnose autism early, so the patient can get an earlier start on speech, behavior, and physical therapies,” Wright said. He noted that community healthcare providers already have connections to the local therapy services which can be helpful for the parents of autistic children. Wright screens children for autism at his office in Houston. Children may need to follow up for a full diagnostic assessment with The Thompson Center at MU, but Wright, as a family medicine physician, has the opportunity to see the entire family and walk them through the diagnosis and work with the patient on other issues related to their autism. “Once we know where a
child is on the autism spectrum there are many things I can do to work with the child,” Wright said. In addition to the common social and behavioral issues in autistic children, many also have trouble sleeping, have gastrointestinal issues, and have a significantly higher chance of having an anxiety disorder, seizures, or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Parents from South Central Missouri contacting The Thompson Center may be referred to Wright for a screening. Other healthcare providers or educators that believe a child should be screened can also refer to Wright. “Parents with autistic children need medical support in their home communities, and now we’re able to help provide that,” Wright said. For more information about the ECHO Autism STAT screening and healthcare services available through Dr. William Wright, contact the TCMH Medical Complex at (417) 967-5639.

MDC names Piedmont man Logger of the Year The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) congratulates Eric L’Heureux of Piedmont on being named Missouri’s State Logger of the Year for 2017. L’Heureux was also named regional logger of the year for the Southeast Region. L’Heureux was nominated by MDC Resource Forester Shane Botard, who says L’Heureux’s work represents some of the best quality logging jobs he has witnessed. “Eric is professional-timber-harvester-trained and always does a good job protecting land and water re-
sources on a logging site,” said Botard. “I’ve seen him harvest timber on several private land sales and he’s done a great job for the landowners.” L’Heureux has worked several jobs as a timber cutter for Coblentz Sawmill in Grandin. Botard has observed L’Heureux’s work for Coblentz and is impressed with his ability. “One sale had some very large mature trees to harvest, which can be difficult due to the damage they can cause when they fall,” said Botard. “Eric did a very good job keeping damage
to a minimum, making sure the landowner’s woods will continue to thrive.” MDC Forest Products Program Supervisor Mike Morris added, “Eric represents exactly what we want from Missouri’s professional loggers. He takes care to protect the natural resources and recognizes the value of proper training and safety.” In recognition of his award, L’Heureux received a framed certificate from MDC at the Missouri Forest Products Association summer meeting, along with a STIHL chainsaw donated

MDC waterfowl hunting reservations open Sept. 1, apply online The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds waterfowl hunters they have from Sept. 1 through Sept. 18 to apply online with MDC to hunt on 12 wetland areas intensively managed by the Department for waterfowl. For more information and to apply starting Sept. 1, go to mdc. mo.gov and search “Waterfowl Reservations,” or apply directly at short.mdc. mo.gov/Z4W. The reservation system allocates half of the available hunting opportunities on these areas for Missouri residents chosen through a ran-
dom drawing. The other half are for walk-in hunters who draw on-site each morning for the remaining spots. MDC reminds hunters that waterfowl hunting in Missouri is influenced by habitat conditions, weather, and the timing of migrations more than overall duck and goose numbers.

Welcome back, college football. Welcome back, Truman the Tiger, Marching Mizzou, the Golden Girls, tailgating and black-and-gold Tigers racing out onto the turf while a cannon fires. For the first time in nine months, Missouri plays a college football game this Saturday, hosting the Missouri State Bears (11 a.m. on SEC Network). As the Tigers begin their 92nd autumn at Faurot Field, they will see a familiar face on the opponent’s sideline. Missouri State head coach Dave Steckel worked as an assistant coach at Missouri for 14 seasons, leaving after the 2014 season to take the head coach job at Missouri State. It’s a fun footnote in what should otherwise be a pretty lopsided game. Missouri State plays in NCAA Division I’s lower Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and went 4-7 last season. That’s an upgrade from 1-10 in Steckel’s first year, but Saturday’s game
still shouldn’t be especially close. FCS teams aren’t allowed to give as many scholarships as Football Bowl Subdivision teams like Missouri, so this isn’t a fair fight. But there are reasons why they’re playing. Missouri State gets a nice paycheck to help fund their athletic department, and Missouri in theory gets a comfortable win to start the season and get some positive momentum going. So long as Missouri continues playing FCS teams, it’s probably best just to get them out of the way at the start of the season. It’s also nice to make the FCS opponent Missouri State, or Southeast Missouri State, just to give the fans something. Lots of Missourians go to MU or Missouri State, so this is at least a chance for those two considerable alumni bases to see their schools play on the same field. Missouri and Missouri State have met only once, a 10-0 Tiger victory way back in 1923. Last year Missouri State lost 35-0 to Kansas State, and that game was called at halftime

Missouri hosts Missouri State in season-opener by Benjamin Herrold

due to severe storms rumbling through the Flint Hills. Of course, plenty of FCS teams have knocked off teams on Missouri’s level over the last few years, so the Tigers should be ready for a challenge. Even if the final score could be a blowout, there are plenty of things for Tiger fans to watch. Can the offense keep putting up big numbers like it did at times last year? Can quarterback Drew Lock improve his completion percentage, especially on those crucial third downs? Can the defense get back on track, especially the pass defense? Last year Missouri opened with a rugged game at West Virginia. This year’s opener is much more user-friendly, and by mid-afternoon Saturday the Tigers should be 1-0. But they better work out any issues against Missouri State, because the stakes will rapidly rise. Next week, Missouri hosts South Carolina in a huge game for both teams, under the lights. The opener will be a less weighty occasion, but for now it’s enough to simply have college football back.

help us ensure that anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer is quickly found and brought to justice.” According to Section 650.520 RSMo., a Blue Alert can be issued in Missouri if the following criteria are met: 1. A law enforcement officer is killed or seriously injured in the line of duty; or 2. An officer is missing in connection with official duties; or 3. There is an imminent and credible threat to kill or seriously injure a law enforcement officer; and 4. There is actionable information known about a suspect for a public notification to be helpful to law enforcement; and 5. The law enforcement agency involved requests or approves the alert being issued. Missouri’s Blue Alert System is a cooperative effort that includes the Department of Public Safety, Missouri Department of Transportation, State Emergency Management Agency, Missouri State Highway Patrol, broadcasters and state law enforcement agencies to quickly get word out to the general public of an attack on a police officer or an imminent threat. A Blue Alert will work similar to an AMBER Alert and use the same technology. Using television and radio broadcasts through the Emergency Alert System, text messaging, and MoDOT message boards, each Blue Alert will provide the public with a description of the offender, the offender’s vehicle, and license plate number, as available.

intercourse took place. Schanuth had initially told her he was 27 but later apologized and said he was older. He also told her she was supposed to say she told him she was 19 years old so he did not get in trouble. Investigators later assumed her identity and began covertly communicating with Schanuth via text messages on the female victim’s cell phone. On September 23 and 24, 2015 investigators engaged in text communications with Schanuth and he told them he would travel to West Plains to see “her” again. Timothy Robert Schanuth, 44 of Cool Valley was arrested on Tuesday, August 22, 2017 for statutory rape-1st degree. He is currently being held at the Howell County Jail without bond.
