“In our region, 27 percent of adults use tobacco, compared to the national average of 14 percent,” said Cindy Tooley, executive director of operations at Mercy St. Francis Hospital. “Because of that, our hospital sees a lot of patients with emphysema and other health issues related to smoking. By providing this program, we hope to turn that statistic around.”

Now in its 28th year of operation, Mercy Caritas is providing a total of $500,000 in grants. The Catherine McAuley fund offers an additional $100,000 in grants funding supported by Mercy co-workers as part of the annual Mercy Way campaign.

From Page One his country during the Korean War. Current City Mayor Patrick Reed had this to say about the passing of Cattell, "The City is in debt for his years

MSHP that everyone in your vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

A total of 30 drownings have occurred on Missouri’s lakes and rivers so far in 2015, compared to 29 in all of 2014. There have been four drownings in the last five days and one near drowning. None of the victims were wearing life jackets. Flood waters have proven to be very dangerous this year to motorists as well as those in and around Missouri’s lakes and streams.

Motorists should never drive through fast-moving water; even a small amount of fastmoving water can sweep a slow-moving vehicle off

of service. It's a great loss to the people of Mtn. View. He will be missed."

Cattell's full obituary can be found on page 5 of this week's publication.

From Page One the roadway. If your vehicle becomes stuck in rising water, get out quickly and move to higher ground. Flooded rivers and streams with strong current present some of the most dangerous situations a boater can encounter. Fast moving water can easily capsize a boat, especially when combined with floating debris or fixed objects such as trees. Boaters should take the time to research existing water conditions which could potentially be hazardous. As temperatures rise, more people will utilize our waterways to cool off. Be smart, don’t overestimate your swimming ability. Life jackets should

be worn when in or around Missouri’s waterways, and if not worn, within reach.

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash.

The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Join us in supporting the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!

Grizzlies will gear up for 2015 volleyball season with annual alumni match Area residents can get their first look at the 2015 Missouri State UniversityWest Plains Grizzly Volleyball team in action at 2 p.m. Saturday, August 15, during the annual Grizzly Alumni Volleyball Match at the West Plains Civic Center arena.

The contest, which is being held in conjunction with the university’s annual Welcome Week activities, will be free and will pit the 2015 Grizzlies against players from previous squads.

“This is always a fun event for us and our fans,” Grizzly Volleyball Head Coach Paula Wiedemann said. “It’s a chance to see this year’s team for the first time and some familiar faces from the past.”

Wiedemann said she hears from alumni who plan to attend, but pointed out there are always surprises. “You never know who will show

up for the game. Something we have to contend with is the fact that so many of our former players are coaches themselves, and they are in the middle of their preseasons, as well,” she explained. “Even so, we hope to have a good group here to play and, as always, it is great to reconnect with our alumni and have our current players meet those who built the culture of our program.

Our alumni created an atmosphere of excellence and it’s important to not take it for granted.”

The alumni will take on a Grizzly team that returns seven players from last year’s squad – sophomores Susannah Kelley, a 5-foot, 8-inch setter from Jonesboro, Arkansas; Zori Curry, a 6-foot, 2-inch middle attacker from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Pulotu Manoa, a 5-foot, 11-inch outside hitter from Concord, California; Gabby Edmondson, a

5-foot, 10-inch outside hitter from Christchurch, New Zealand; Ashley Bishton, a 6-foot, 2-inch middle/right side attacker from Liberty, Missouri; Breanna Taylor, a 6-foot outside hitter from Houston, Texas; and Guro Froberg, a 5-foot, 11-inch outside hitter from Askim, Norway.

Joining the returners will be transfer freshmen Stephanie Phillips, a 6-foot, 2-inch outside/right side attacker from Thornlands, Australia, and Lara Temel, a 6-foot, 1-inch middle/ right side attacker from Istanbul, Turkey; along with freshmen Autumn Reese, a 5-foot, 6-inch defensive specialist from Ozark, Missouri; Alyssa Young, a 5-foot, 10-inch outside/right side attacker from Billings, Missouri; Maja Petronijevic, a 5-foot, 6-inch defensive specialist from Belgrade, Serbia; Abigail Bergman, a 5-foot, 6-inch defensive specialist from Perryville, Missouri; and Blanca Izquierdo, a 5-foot, 9-inch setter from Madrid, Spain.

“It’s always great to see our alumni, and there are so many people who enjoy the event – the players, alumni, coaches, former host families, and campus and community fans who were involved with the alumni when they were at Missouri State-West Plains as student athletes,” Wiedemann said.

“We invite everyone to come out, watch this year’s alumni match and meet the 2015 Grizzlies!”

Reining In Out-of-Control Agencies

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to rein in federal agencies with legislation to bring all new major rules for a Congressional vote before implementation.

The bloated Code of Federal Regulations is more than 175,000 pages long, and just last year federal regulators in the Obama administration issued 2,400 new rules. During Barack Obama’s entire presidency, the administration has only issued 17 rules that decreased regulatory burdens, but has added $80 billion in new regulatory costs, according to the Heritage Foundation. What these unelected bureaucrats seem to forget is that federal agencies are funded by Congress.

Agencies are forcing costly, inefficient, ineffective rules on folks, far beyond the laws Congress has passed to keep Americans safe and healthy.

The REINS act passed the House this week and is another common sense step toward regulatory reform. I continue working to keep rural families from dealing with outrageous Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations on wood burning stoves, to stop the Department of Labor from obstructing kids from helping on family farms, and to keep the federal government from controlling school lunches.

Additionally, I added an amendment to the REINS Act to specifically require Congressional approval of all rules stemming from Obamacare in order to help give families and job creators peace of mind. Across the district, I hear from families who are worried that Obamacare’s 3,000 pages of regulations will change their relationship with their doctor and make health care unaffordable. Job creators are holding back on hiring because they aren’t sure if more expensive Obamacare rules are around the corner. My amendment makes sure that we can speak for the folks back home and keep unelected bureaucrats from issuing more devastating rules.

Americans deserve a government that is efficient, effective and accountable. That’s what the REINS Act and my amendment help provide.

Standing for What You Believe

It has been hard to miss the news reports regarding Planned Parenthood and some of their questionable, illegal and immoral practices. While most people across this great state and country are shocked and outraged at the allegations, I am proud to say the Missouri Senate quickly moved to create the Senate Interim Committee on the Sanctity of Life to investigate the practices of this organization in our state.

This committee is chaired by Sen. Kurt Schafer, R-Columbia, and was created in response to a video featuring Planned Parenthood’s top leaders candidly talking about the transfer of fetal tissue to another for-profit group. The video, issued by the Center for Medical Progress, angered thousands of pro-life supporters. I am one of them. The thought of an organization that facilitates the end of a child’s life before it has begun is preposterous to me. Now seeing and hearing that the group may be profiting from the sale of the fetal tissue angers me. That is why I am proud to say that Missouri is one of many states examining the group’s practices in their respective states. While we are being told this is not happening in Missouri, we must guarantee it is not. An investigation is taking place as you read this column.

I can assure you that I am not the only Missouri senator who is outraged that this committee had to be created to investigate matters such as these. I stand with Sen. Schaefer and others in promising to use any means to find the facts to ensure the “disgusting” actions in the tape have not and will not happen in Missouri. The committee will look into whether or not any legislation needs to be written to make sure such acts did not and will never occur in the state.

In the future, we will use this column to examine actions taken by the committee and its report, due by the end of 2015, has determined to be occurring at Planned Parenthood offices in our state.

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.

Get Ready For Back-To-School Students in the Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District are gearing up to head back-to-school. The Standard News along with local businesses want to ensure that our students have a great start to the new year. In this section you will find school supply lists, bus safety tips, school calendar and open house dates. Have a great school year!

Mtn. View Elementary Open House Mtn. View Elementary will hold their Open House on Monday, August 10 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Meet the new Superintendent

Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year! I’m looking forward to a great new year with great kids, great parents and great teachers. I’m new to the area, but have loved the community and surrounding area since I moved here. As an avid outdoorsman I’ve been here many times, but am now glad to call this part of southern Missouri home. I’ve been absolutely impressed

with the community support of the school that I’ve seen in the short time that I’ve been here.

I recently attended the “Back To School Fair” and was blown away by the amount of involvement and support that I saw there from individuals, churches, businesses, etc.

What a great project and way to support the kids in our school district! Anything that I or the school as a whole can do to partner with community organizations to support our school kids and programs is what I want to do!

The Mountain View-Birch Tree School District has a long and proud tradition of both academic and athletic success.

My goal is to build upon that strong foundation and continue to achieve even greater things in the future. One area of focus that will be highlighted even more starting this year will be the availability and use of instructional technology.

Knowing how to use technology will be an absolute necessity for all of our graduates, whether they continue on to college or enter directly into the work force. If we don’t use and teach our students to use technology, then we are doing them a disservice. Our goal is to provide our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in life, no matter where they go or what they do after high school.

Enjoy the summer while it lasts. School starts on August 12. Each school will host an Open House on August 10. The Liberty High School and Liberty Middle School open houses will be from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Birch Tree Elementary and Mountain View Elementary school open houses will be from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on that same evening.

Parents are encouraged to bring their students’ supplies in during open house to help make the first day less hectic for their child.

I look forward to getting to know everyone in the school and community. Come by and say “hi” if you get the chance.

Sincerely, Dr. Don Christensen Superintendent

on Monday, August 10 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Students are encouraged to bring in their school supplies and meet their teachers.

Liberty Middle School Open House Liberty Middle School (Grades 6th through 8th) will be holding an Open

House for all students and parents on Monday, August 10 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. At that time, students can pick up their schedules, visit their classrooms, meet their teachers, and fill their lockers. Incoming 6th graders and parents will have a brief meeting

in the gym at 6 p.m. to start the evening.

Schedules will NOT be available for pick up prior to Open House.

Students unable to attend Open House will be able to pick up schedules in the front office on Tuesday, August 11.

Liberty High School Open House Liberty High School will hold their Open House on Monday, August 10 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Students can come in to get their schedules, set up their lockers, visit their classrooms and meet their teachers.

School buses are the safest mode of transportation for getting children to and from school, but injuries can occur if kids are not careful and aware when getting on and off the bus.

• Walk with your kids to the bus stop and wait with them until it arrives.

Tell kids to stand at least three giant steps back from the curb as the bus approaches and board the bus one at a time.

• Teach kids to wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before getting off and never to walk behind the bus.

• If your child needs to cross the street after exiting the bus, he or she should take five giant steps in front of the bus, make eye contact with the bus driver and cross when the driver indicates

it’s safe. Teach kids to look left, right and left again before crossing the street.

• Instruct younger kids to use handrails when boarding or exiting the bus. Be careful of straps or drawstrings that could get caught in the door.

If your children drop

something, they should tell the bus driver and make sure the bus driver is able to see them before they pick it up.

• Drivers should always follow the speed limit and slow down in school zones and near bus stops. Remember to stay alert and look for kids who

may be trying to get to or from the school bus.

• Slow down and stop if you’re driving near a school bus that is flashing yellow or red lights. This means the bus is either preparing to stop (yellow) or already stopped (red), and children are getting on or off.

Medicare Options for Retirees Who Travel Dear Savvy Senior, What are the best Medicare coverage options for retirees who travel a lot?

Almost 65 Dear Almost, The best Medicare options for retirees who travel extensively depends on your destination.

Let’s start with a quick review of the different coverage choices Medicare offers beneficiaries today.

One option is Original Medicare, which has been around since 1966, and covers (Part A) hospital services and (Part B) doctor’s visits and other medical services.

If you choose Original Medicare, you may also want to get a Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan (if you don’t already have coverage) to cover your medication costs, and a Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy to help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.

Or, you could get Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, which is sold through private insurance companies, that covers everything Original Medicare covers, plus many plans also offer prescription drug coverage and extra services like vision, hearing and dental care all in one plan.

To help you evaluate your options, the National Council on Aging offers an online tool at MyMedicareMatters.org, and your State Heath Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) provides free Medicare counseling – call 800-677-1116 for contact information.

You can also shop and compare Medicare health and drug plans and Medigap policies at Medicare.gov/find-a-plan, or call 800-633-4227.

Also note that whatever Medicare plans you choose to enroll in, if you find that they are not meeting your needs or your needs change, you can always switch to a different plan during the open enrollment period, which is between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7.

U.S. Travel If you and your husband are planning to travel domestically, Original Medicare provides coverage everywhere in the U.S. and its territories (this includes all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa) as long as the doctor or hospital accepts Medicare.

But, if you have a Medicare Advantage plan, your coverage may be restricted. This is because most Medicare Advantage plans (which are usually HMOs or PPOs) require you to use doctors, hospitals and pharmacies that are in the plan’s network within a service area or geographic region.

So if you’re traveling outside that area, you may need to pay a higher fee, or your services may not be covered at all.

Before enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan, check the benefit details carefully to see what costs and rules apply when traveling outside your service area.

Traveling Abroad If you’re planning to travel abroad, Original Medicare does not provide coverage outside the U.S. including cruising, except in rare cases, and Medicare drug plans will not cover prescription drugs purchased outside the U.S. either.

But, there are some Medigap policies that do provide limited coverage abroad. Medigap C, D, F, G, M, and N plans will pay for 80 percent of medically necessary emergency care outside the U.S., but only for the first 60 days of the trip, and you have to meet an annual $250 deductible first.

There’s also a lifetime maximum benefit of $50,000, so you’d need to cover any costs above that amount.

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, your coverage outside the U.S. will depend on the plan. Some plans offer emergency care coverage while others don’t. You’ll need to check your plan for details.

If you want additional emergency medical coverage when traveling abroad, some good shopping sites are squaremouth.com and insuremytrip.com, which compare policies from major travel-insurance companies. Prices vary considerably, ranging from under $100 to several hundred dollars depending on your age, what they cover and how long you’ll be away.

Conservation Commissioner Don Bedell reappointed Gov. Jay Nixon recently announced his reappointment of Don C. Bedell of Sikeston to the Missouri Conservation Commission.

The Commission protects and manages Missouri’s forest, fish and wildlife resources and provides opportunities for Missourians to use, enjoy, and learn about nature.

“Don Bedell’s service on the Conservation Commission since 2009, including a term as chair, has been exemplary, cementing Missouri’s role as the nationwide leader in conservation,” said Gov. Nixon regarding his July 24 reappointment of Bedell.

Gov. Nixon added that, during the past six years, with Bedell as a member, the Missouri Conservation Commission has seen

record harvests of wildlife, and increased numbers of participants in outdoor conservation-related activities, particularly among Missouri’s youth, minority, and disabled populations. The Governor praised the commission for its excellent management of Missouri’s wildlife and forestry resources, even in challenging circumstances.

Conservation Commissioner Don Bedell stated, “It is an honor to have been appointed and serve Missouri citizens these past six years.

The combined work and dedication of Department staff and Missouri citizens has resulted in some great conservation achievements over the last six years. The Governor, First Lady, and my fellow Commissioners are great

conservationists who continue to help Missouri be a national and world leader in conservation.

I am both flattered and humbled to serve a second term on the Conservation Commission.”

Bedell, a Republican, is an accomplished businessman, avid conservationist and enthusiastic sportsman. He is a Life Sponsor of Ducks Unlimited, a Life Member of Quail Unlimited, Inc., a Sustaining Member of the Conservation Federation of Missouri, a Diamond Sponsor of the National Wild Turkey Federation, and a Life Member of Safari Club International.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture and a Master of Science degree in Animal Nutrition with a double minor in biochemistry and

Wheat yields good in MU variety tests Despite heavy rainfall and widespread reports of disease, wheat yields were good at most test sites in the University of Missouri Variety Testing Program.

Tests from parts of southeastern Missouri showed the highest yields, said Howard Mason, University of Missouri Extension research associate.

Variety tests help farmers pick what seeds to plant in the fall. For more than

75 years, seed companies have supported the program by paying fees. The tests include new and older varieties at nine locations— three MU research farms and six farmer-owned fields.

Varieties are grown on plots of 1 acre or smaller and harvested with specially designed small combines.

“We test the best,” said Bill Wiebold, MU Extension agronomist. Top performers vary from year to year,

MDC is seeking nominations for candidate Christmas trees by Sept. 30 The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is conducting its annual search for a large Christmas evergreen tree for use on the Governor’s Mansion lawn in Jefferson City.

MDC is asking landowners, homeowners, businesses, and communities that may have possible candidate trees to contact the Department.

To qualify, the donated tree must be 40 feet tall and either be an eastern red cedar, Norway spruce, or white pine.

Candidate trees must be fully branched on all four sides and accessible by large equipment.

The right tree may either be near the end of its life or may need to be removed for other reasons. Once a tree is selected, MDC staff will coordinate the cutting and delivery of the tree to the Governor’s Mansion at no cost to the owner. The donor will receive a personalized thank-you from the governor and an invitation to the lighting ceremony, which usually occurs the first week of December.

“It sometimes happens that homeowners, businesses, or

communities have wonderful evergreens that need to be removed for home expansion, utility work, or other reasons,” says Forestry Field Program Supervisor Nick Kuhn.

“Having your tree displayed at the Governor’s Mansion is a wonderful way to share its beauty with thousands of Missourians who visit the mansion during the holidays.”

Kuhn instructs people to take photos of candidate trees and email them to holidaytrees@ mdc.mo.gov. Be sure to include a contact telephone number, location of the tree, and several pictures taken from different angles and distances.

Candidate tree nominations can also be submitted by mail to: Missouri Department of Conservation, ATTN: Mansion Christmas Tree, P.O. Box 180, Jefferson City, MO 65102.

All entries must be submitted by Sept. 30. Full guidelines are available at mdc.mo.gov/node/23091. For more information or questions, contact the MDC Forestry Division at 573-751-4115.

reflecting the changing environment, weather and planting date. Varieties test better in different parts of the state due to Missouri’s diverse topography.

A review of several years of data shows consistent performers, he said. Yield is important, but other factors to consider include standability, hardiness, drought tolerance, and insect and disease resistance.

Mason said this has been a challenging year for anyone growing or harvesting crops in the Midwest. “We were lucky to have a couple of windows of good weather to complete harvest on the MU wheat variety test plots in late June and early July.”

Yields varied greatly from one site to another, but Mason said this information is helpful to producers to select varieties that perform under adverse conditions. At Oran in Scott County, seven varieties yielded 100 bushels or more. Mason said he was surprised by the results but that the producer at the site wasn’t. “He had sprayed fungicide and insecticide and split the nitrogen fertilizer into three applications, all of which contributed to high yields.”

There was significant disease pressure at several test sites, especially Columbia and Lamar. Test weights there were so low that the elevators would not accept the grain, Mason said.

A test site at Adrian was abandoned due to poor initial stand establishment.

In the northern half of the state, Momentum 304 had the highest mean yield at 62 bushels per acre. Plots at Trenton were the top producers, with 74.6 bushels per acre on Merschman Bintee 10.

In southwestern Missouri, Hughesville plots tested 73.5 bushels per acre with Merschman Barbie 11. Momentum 304 had the region’s highest mean yield at 63.5 bushels per acre.

In the southeastern region, Dyna-Gro WX157842 yielded 101.9 bushels per acre in Oran. MFA Exp 2449 had the highest mean yield in the region at 82.6 bushels per acre.

Results of the 2015 tests are available at http:// varietytesting.missouri. edu. Printed copies will be available at county extension offices or by calling 573-882-2307.

wildlife. He is owner of B&B Boats and Bikes in Sikeston and B&R Marine & Cycle in Batesville, Ark. He has founded and run numerous other businesses, primarily in healthcare/ nursing home management.

He serves on numerous boards of directors and is an advisory board member to the Southeast Missouri State University College of Health and Human Services.

The four members of the Conservation Commission serve six year terms and are appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Not more than two Commissioners from the same political party may serve at the

same time. Commissioners receive no salary or other compensation. The three other Commissioners are Marilynn J. Bradford of Jefferson City who serves as Commission Chair, David W. Murphy of Columbia who serves as Vice Chair, and James T. Blair, IV, of St. Louis who serves as Secretary.

Commissioner responsibilities are statewide and include serving as the Conservation Department’s policy makers, approving Wildlife Code regulations, strategic planning, budget development and major expenditure decisions, and appointing the director of the Conservation Department.

The Governor has appointed Bedell to a term

that ends July 1, 2021.

The appointment is subject to confirmation by the Missouri Senate.

Diseased wheat plagues farmers This year’s recordbreaking rain and continued wet weather has led to serious problems in wheat fields.

Farmers have had a tough time harvesting the wheat crop in the first place, and now disease is making it hard or even impossible to sell, says Pat Westhoff, director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri.

The Wheat Belt has been hit by vomitoxin, a common name for the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol. The Food and Drug Administration has restricted the concentration to 1 part per million for human food products. In higher concentrations, vomitoxin causes feed

refusal and poor weight gain in some livestock. Much of the affected wheat has levels high enough that grain elevators won’t accept it.

Making things is the large global wheat crop, which has kept prices lower than producers might have hoped, Westhoff says.

“We don’t quite have a record crop in terms of production level, but there is a lot of carryover from last year’s crop still out there,” he says. “Currently USDA projects that by the end of this marketing year we’ll actually have more wheat in storage globally than we had at the start of the year.”

With large global stocks, consumers shouldn’t see an increase in the prices of wheat products, he says.

“After a very bad experience in 2015, I suspect there will be some producers who may not be as excited about planting wheat for next year’s harvest,” Westhoff says.

An MU Extension task force has developed a website with information for farmers, ranchers, fruit and vegetable growers, and others affected by the wet weather. The website, at http://extension. missouri.edu/2015weather, will be updated as new information becomes available. Topics include row crops, forages, cover crops, livestock impacts, horticulture, crop insurance, nutrient management, trees and turfgrass, and monitoring and control of pests, diseases and weeds.
