One Play Drive! Josh Pruett (5) goes for it all and get it. Pruett passed to Brenton Bush on Liberty's first play from scrimmage Friday night resulting in an 80yard touchdown. The Eagles opened the game with 32 unanswered points. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)

The ending of both halves wasn’t pretty, but after building up a 32-0 lead going into the fourth quarter, the Liberty Eagles survived penalties, turnovers, questionable decisions by the officials, plus four Ava Bear touchdowns in the final 12 minutes, to hang on for a 40-25 conference victory last Friday night. The win pushed the Eagles record to 4-0 on the season and 2-0 in South Central Association games with the Willow Springs Bears arriving this week for Eagles homecoming. The stats were impressive, and after three quarters of

play it was hard to imagine Liberty having a much better night. Sure there were some missed extra points and a couple of turnovers, but the Eagles piled up 446 yards of total offense against Ava, and Josh Pruett was having the best night of his career. The junior quarterback completed 15 of 28 passes for 248 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran the ball nine times for 121 yards and another score. His connection with receivers Brenton Bush and Andrew Raider was becoming one of the most prolific aerial attacks in the SCA. Bush hauled in seven catches for 148 yards, including an 80yard touchdown strike on Liberty’s first play from scrimmage. Raider was steady, catching five balls for 54 yards on the night plus a third quarter touchdown. As a team, Liberty ran the ball for almost 200 yards,

Liberty Eagle Homecoming 2015

A Halloween-themed fundraiser at Mercy St. Francis Hospital is coming back for a second lap, but there’s nothing scary about its benefit to the Mountain View community. On Saturday, Oct. 24, Mercy’s 2nd Annual Halloween Hustle 5K Run/1K Walk returns to the Mountain View Football Field, located just south of the Mountain View Public Library at 125 Oak Street. “Last year, we raised nearly $2,000 for the Mountain View Good Samaritan Clinic,” said organizer Laurie Strosnider, human resources assistant with Mercy St. Francis. The clinic, which provides muchneeded medical and dental services to the uninsured, will once again benefit from this year’s event. “We’ll have color packets and Halloween Hustle t-shirts available for purchase at the event,” Strosnider added. “We also encourage anyone to wear their Halloween costumes a little early and come show them off.”

Homecoming - The Liberty Eagles Homecoming will be held on Friday, September 18. Classes will dismiss at 12:30 p.m. that day. The Homecoming parade line-up will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the city pool and stroll through Downtown Mtn.

Gift of Civil War-era letters brings conflict to life History teachers will tell you it’s not always easy to make the events of the past come to life for the students of today, but a recent gift to Missouri State UniversityWest Plains should aid in that effort for students studying the American Civil War. West Plains resident Chuck Kimberlin recently presented to university officials over 50 letters written by Sgt. John L. Arnold, a young man from Trenton, New Jersey, who served in Company E of the 97th New York Regiment during the conflict. The dates on the letters range from the earliest days of the war in 1860 until 1864, when he was discharged as a captain from the Union Army. Kimberlin gifted the university with the letters in honor of his late mother, well-known local genealogist Irene Kimberlin, who had contacts across the country. He found them among her things after she died. “Someone, possibly a member of John Arnold’s family, gave my mother these letters years ago because he or she thought my mother would enjoy doing some research on them,” he recalled. “I knew she had them. I had seen them, and I knew what they looked like, but I had lost track of them. When she passed and we cleaned out her things, we found them. I decided that, in memory of her and for the potential they have, I would give them to the university.” When Kimberlin presented them to Chancellor Drew Bennett, he told Bennett that

university officials could do anything they wanted with them, but he hoped they would be used for academic endeavors. “I feel they could be used for research on this individual or for the time period in general,” he explained. Assistant Professor of History Connie Morgan agreed, saying they will provide a wealth of information for students, faculty and historians alike. “What will be interesting is the information he can provide about the battles he witnessed and the daily life of the soldier,” she explained. “He’s basically giving us a look into the daily life of a Civil War soldier. This was the first time something like this had happened in our country, the first time something had divided our nation. Both sides thought it would be a very short, bloodless war, and they both were fooled. Neither side was prepared for what truly happened.” The topics covered in the 52 letters range the gamut, from details about various battles to the everyday, mundane activities of a soldier. In every letter, Sgt. Arnold gives his location at the time he wrote them. “There was enough information that you could look at a map and follow him,” Kimberlin said. In his early letters, he describes mustering in at Albany, New York, and the regiment’s journey to Washington, D.C., by rail, wagon, barge and foot. “There were a lot of times he seemed upbeat and excited, but they also tended to be the same type of letters soldiers

have written home in every war. There’s excitement, there’s sheer boredom, and there’s the mundane information of breaking camp and moving somewhere else,” Kimberlin said. Sgt. Arnold also talks about several well-known battles, such as the Battle of Fredericksburg, the siege at Petersburg, the second Battle of Bull Run, as well as the lesser-known Battle of Cedar Mountain in Culpepper, Virginia, Morgan added. “Most of their military time was the mundane. When you look at the war’s length, most of the time was spent in camp,” she explained. Some of the letters also detail Sgt. Arnold’s time working at Carver General Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he met Abraham Lincoln more than once, Kimberlin said. “He describes Lincoln coming out to visit the troops, sometimes with his son, Robert Todd, who had his own little uniform and pony. Lincoln also visited a camp Sgt. Arnold was in, and on that visit, he described Lincoln as being tall and very thin and mentioned he would be surprised if the president lived through the year. Even so, Sgt. Arnold wrote that on every visit, Lincoln would shake every soldier’s hand,” Kimberlin said. Just as important as the battle information contained in the letters is the social history described among the pages, Morgan stressed. “Personal letters are the best way for us to

Upcoming fundraiser events for House of Abigail The House of Abigail is planning several fundraiser events. The first event will be on Saturday, September 26. The group will have a booth at Pioneer Days and will sell hamburgers, fries and lemonade for $5 a plate. Friday, October 2 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The group will have an old fashioned singing at Veteran's Park. RJ's BBQ will be serving pulled pork, baked beans, and potato salad along with coffee, tea or lemonade to drink for $5 a plate.

On Saturday, October 3 beginning at 8 a.m. there will be a 5K run/walk starting at the football field and ending at the football field. Registrations are due by Saturday, September 19. Registrations can be picked up at The Mountain View Community Center, Mountain View Public Library, Duncan Funeral Home or by calling 417934-2161 or 417-934-2222. Registration fee is $30 with a t-shirt, $20 without. Friday, October 16, from

5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Mountain View Community Center the House of Abigail group will have a fish fry for $5 a plate. There will be a silent auction during the fish fry with lots of items donated including Branson Tickets for The Track Go Karts, The Baldknobbers, The Duttons and Silver Dollar City to name a few. All proceeds from these fundraisers will be used toward the building renovation of the House of Abigail.

know what daily life was like. They can give a weather report, a crop report, the latest scoop on the gossip in town. When you read these letters, you feel the emotion of the writer. You don’t get that sense of emotion in today’s emails. That’s why these letters are so amazing,” she explained. The letters also reveal much about Sgt. Arnold himself. From the neatness of his handwriting and the grammar he used, he appeared to be an educated man, and the paper stock he used, pages of which included an embossment, indicate he may have come from a family of means. The quality of the paper probably helped in the letters’ preservation, Morgan said. Currently, the letters are being transcribed and digitized so their content can easily be accessed online. Morgan said this is a painstaking process that will continue for several months. Once completed, however, their information will be accessible from any place with Internet access through the Garnett Library’s website, she added. Meanwhile, Morgan is researching Sgt. Arnold and the history of the 97th New York Regiment. “We will do a chronological line of the letters and the information included in each to get a better understanding of how and where the regiment moved,” she explained.

“I really hope students, as well as historians and others interested in the war, take advantage of these letters and the valuable information they provide. I think there are a number of learning experiences students

can gain from this information,” Kimberlin said. “It also would be nice if people were inspired by this gift to go and find similar interesting things that would have academic value for students on this campus,” he added.

MUCH CAN BE LEARNED about a person and the times in which he or she lived just from a hand-written letter, according to Connie Morgan, assistant professor of history at Missouri State University-West Plains. The letter above is one of 52 written by Sgt. John Arnold of the 97th New York Regiment that was recently donated to the university for academic purposes by West Plains resident Chuck Kimberlin.

Congressman Jason Smith sponsors bill to protect local businesses On Wednesday, Congressman Jason Smith helped introduce H.R. 3549, the Protecting Local Business Opportunity Act. This legislation would roll back a devastating rule the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) handed down in August recharacterizing all franchise employees

as employees of corporate brands, like McDonald’s or Anytime Fitness. Congressman Smith has called this “a thinly veiled attempt by President Obama’s NLRB to strip choice away from workers by trying to force them to unionize at the corporate level.” The bill Congressman

Remembering the Greatest Loss Friday marks the 14th anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks that shook this country to its core on a beautiful Tuesday morning. That morning, four commercial airliners were hijacked and suicide attacks were carried out against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. While our own memories of September 11, 2001 are important, we must never, ever forget the lives lost that day and on the battlefields in countries around this world as soldiers fight to defend our freedoms and bring to justice those whose actions have cost us so much. More than 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. Thousands of our countries bravest have lost their lives in the battles fought since that day. Their families included small children and children that had not-yet been born who have since grown up in a post-9/11 world. Tragically, a world without their parent, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, grandparent or other loved one. As our country took on a different approach to security, and even our response to terrorism around the world, these families were forced, and are forced to continue on without the love, support and input of the people they lost. Many survivors lost numerous friends and family. The loss experienced that day is staggering. Media has reported that 1,609 lost a spouse or significant other that day; 3,051 children lost a parent; 1, 402 employees died in Tower One; 614 employees died in Tower 2; and 1,717 families never got the remains of their loved ones. These numbers speak to the country’s grief, but most importantly the grief families and friends faced. Fourteen years later, there are no words to express the true amount of pain and suffering our nation and these brave survivors have managed to overcome. The fires that resulted from this tragedy burned for 99 days, and in the years that followed, 1.8 million pounds of debris was removed. While the ramifications of this event will last for years to come, and families will mourn their losses, history has shown, our country and leadership responded swiftly. In true American fashion we rallied and have become a more unified country. There is truly no greater place than America and the response of everyday citizens proved that. Reports show $1.4 billion was donated to 9/11 charities, 36,000 units of blood were donated to the New York Blood Center; an estimated $500 million was raised for funds dedicated to the fallen members of the New York City Fire Department and the New York City Police Department. A mere 26 days following the attacks the United States began bombing Afghanistan. This year, and every year, I encourage you to focus on the thousands of lives lost that day and in the battles that followed. Pause for a moment on Friday and offer a prayer for those who lost their lives, and those they left behind. Count your blessings and give thanks that you live in this country; a country that rose from the ashes to rebuild a stronger, more unified America. 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.

Senator Blunt reflects on anniversary of 9/11 terrorist attacks As our nation marks the 14th anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks and the threeyear anniversary of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) released the following statement today remembering those devastating events: “Fourteen years ago today, America witnessed the most horrific terrorist attack ever to take place on our nation’s soil,” said Blunt. “We will never forget the innocent victims and their families who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. “We continue to face real threats from terrorists today, and we were reminded of

this just three years ago with the loss of four Americans who were killed during a deadly and senseless terrorist attack in Benghazi. I will continue working to ensure those who work and fight for our freedoms have the resources they need to protect our country. We will always be forever grateful for our country’s brave service members, intelligence professionals, and first responders who tirelessly work to keep us safe.” Blunt currently serves as a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He previously served as a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Missouri grinds out 11th straight road win, hosts UConn next by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist It wasn’t always pretty, but Missouri churned out a 27-20 win at Arkansas State on Saturday night. Aided by two firsthalf Tiger interceptions, Arkansas State (0-2) took a 17-10 lead into halftime. But Missouri (2-0) battled back to earn its 11th

straight road win. As has often been the case over the last two years, the Tiger defense played a starring role, holding Arkansas State to 217 yards of offense while forcing three turnovers. During that tight second half, Missouri yielded almost nothing. Missouri’s offense played just good enough to win, but still raised concerns. The running game could not get much traction, hurt by some key injuries. Russell Hansbrough was limited to five carries. Ish Witter filled in with 44 yards on 11 carries, but he got hit hard and had to undergo concussion tests. Quarterback Maty Mauk provided a spark on the ground, running for 75 yards, but he struggled passing. Admittedly hurt by some spotty receiver play, Mauk completed just 16 of 36 passes and threw two interceptions on bad-decision throws. Backup Drew Lock threw an interception on his assigned second quarter

drive, but that one was a good pass that just bounced off a receiver and to a defender. Despite the flaws, Mauk did make some fine plays, tossing three touchdowns and sparking an often listless offense with his runs. For all his up-anddown play, he is now 16-4 as a starter. Still, much of the credit for that record, and much of the credit for Saturday’s win, goes back to that Tiger defense. Defensive lineman Charles Harris racked up two sacks and continued to show great potential. Linebacker Kentrell Brothers had two interceptions and a whopping 16 tackles. Arkansas State is a good Sun Belt Conference team, and in a road game against a decent opponent Missouri showed some of the competitiveness and mental toughness that helped them churn our win after win in the push to the SEC East title last fall. But Missouri will need to get better to make a third straight trip to Atlanta. The

next chance to do that is Saturday, when the Tigers host the Connecticut Huskies (11 a.m. on ESPN). UConn (2-0) has fairly low expectations this year, but the Huskies did eke out two close wins to open the season. However, those wins came against Villanova and Army, so they don’t necessarily indicate UConn will be much better than expected. But those two five-point wins gave the Huskies their first 2-0 start since 2008. The Huskies have a decent defense, led by linebackers Marquise Vann and Graham Stewart, but their offense is not great. Quarterback Bryant Shirreffs completed 19 of 25 passes against Army, but Missouri’s defense presents a tougher challenge. Missouri should be able to win fairly comfortably on Saturday, but beyond that it would be nice to see the Tigers’ offense look more polished heading into SEC play Sept. 26 at Kentucky.

Often we hear about people being scammed. Those who have been victims of scammers have spoken to someone on the phone who claimed to be someone they are not. In turn, dollars have been taken from innocent people who think they are paying a bill or buying a product or service. Unfortunately, scammers are out after their own interest and use shady tactics. At Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative (HOEC), we have heard from members of the cooperative who have received such calls and we are looking out for you. To help be protected from

scammers, who may claim to be from HOEC or other familiar business interests, we encourage you to simple slam down the phone if you suspect something isn’t right. We call this “Slam the Scam”! Yes, slam the phone down! If anyone calls you and says they are calling on behalf or HOEC and you think may not be us calling, slam down the phone and give us a call. When you call us, we will verify if it was our service people calling. We do not want our members be taken advantage of. Together, we can stop scammers with “Slam the Scam”.

Iran’s Global Threat

This week, I voted to stop the dangerous deal the Obama Administration negotiated to lift sanctions on Iran. I voted to protect Americans from the global threat posed by a nuclear Iran, because this is not a Republican issue or Democrat issue; this is an American security issue. Iran is not a friend of the United States, and we should not enter into agreements with our enemies. The Iranian government is holding four Americans hostage, and those American citizens will not be returned with this deal. Just this week, Iran’s Ayatollah threatened Israel, our closest ally, and said Iran will not negotiate with the U.S. ever again. And you know what, after this deal, they won’t have to. Under the deal, Iran receives up to $150 billion in sanctions relief, and the arms embargo is lifted in a couple of years. That is money our enemies can use to become the Central Bank for terror. Iran gets everything it wanted out of this deal and the United States gets nothing. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has called America the “Great Satan” and said Israel will not be around in 25 years. But still, the Obama Administration is willing to lift sanctions that unleash between $50-150 billion dollars to Iran for them to use against the U.S. Iran’s defense budget is estimated at between $15 and $30 billion dollars. Sanctions relief could fund Iran’s state sponsorship of terrorism for up to ten years! Some experts estimate United States sanctions alone tie up $60 billion that would otherwise be released to Iran. The nuclear inspections requirement is a joke. Iran receives 24-day notice of inspections, and by then Iran will have had the time they need to cover up their deceitful actions. I’ve said it before, America requires surprise inspections on farms, manufacturing plants and restaurants; we should definitely require it of our enemy’s nuclear sites. As we remember the 9/11 attacks on American soil, we are reminded that we must always stay vigilant. Making deals with our enemies only strengthens their resolve to destroy our democracy and way of life. May we never forget.

Mtn. View Community Garden work day Community Gardens are not a source of free food for the picking. This is apparently a misconception regarding the Mountain View garden, as people have been helping themselves to produce without permission from gardeners. Five foot by twenty foot beds are available to any community person for

$10.00 for a season, but how the produce is used is up to each gardener. Many share the harvest, but permission is needed. It is heartbreaking to get ready to harvest produce after some hard work and find it gone. The Mountain View Community Garden will have a workday on Sunday,

September 20 at 2 p.m. Due to the wet year, there are abundant weeds and much to do. Anyone interested in putting some time and energy into this beautiful garden please plan to attend. The garden is located at East Third Street in Mountain View. Call 417-934-6956 for more information.

Football

and it might have been more if not for Marcos Rodriguez leaving the game with bruised arm. He would later return, but saw only limited action the rest of the night, carrying the ball just four times for 23 yards and a touchdown. It was up to Pruett and Koel Orchard to pick up the slack. Orchard finished with 7 carries for 54 yards and he caught a 27-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to give Liberty a 32-0 advantage. That is when things started to get a little dicey for the Eagles. In the fourth quarter the Ava Bears came to life and couldn’t be stopped. Ava scored touchdowns. Lots of them. They scored the last three times they had the ball, and they scored another one when Liberty had the ball, returning a fumble 35 yards for a touchdown. Throw in some Liberty penalties, inexplicable

From Page One decisions by the referees to spot the ball in Ava’s favor, and Ava had a serious rally going in the final minutes. It simply proved to be too much ground for Ava to make up, however, and a late Eagles touchdown on a 6-yard pass from Pruett to Max Rudolph ended any chance for the visitors to pull off the miracle comeback. Despite one final touchdown, the Bears were out of time and the Eagles held on for a 40-25 win. As ugly as it ended, however, the Eagles looked solid in the beginning. Ava took the opening kickoff and started the game at their own 38-yard line. The Bears managed to convert a third and two for a first down at midfield. After converting a fourth and one with a two-yard quarterback keeper, Ava had a first and ten at the Eagles 41yard line. They would advance only one more yard against the Eagles defense, however, that

forced two incomplete passes while Brodyn Kenaga blew up a running play for a one-yard loss. The Bears punted and Liberty went to work. It was quick work. On the first play of the game for Liberty, Pruett passed to Bush for an 80-yard touchdown strike and the Eagles were on the board 6-0 after a missed extra point. The Liberty defense forced the Bears to go three-and-out on their next possession and Liberty scored again. This time the Eagles were more methodical. They started buried deep in their own territory at the 14-yard line, and a penalty pushed them back to the nine. 10 plays and 91 yards later, it was 12-0 Eagles. Liberty chewed up yardage in large chunks as they moved down the field. It started when Orchard broke loose on first and 15 from the nine for a 17-yard gain. Pruett passed to Bush again for 24 yards and a first at midfield. Rodriguez went up the middle for 10-yards, Xander Marshall hauled in a 13-yard pass, and suddenly the Eagles had a first-down at the Bears 28-yard line. Even a holding penalty couldn’t stop them as an 18yard pass to Raider and a fouryard run by Rodriguez gave Liberty a first down inside the red-zone. Three plays later, Rodriguez plowed his way in for an 11-yard touchdown. Liberty stayed on a roll as the second quarter began. Taking over after another Bears punt, Future Eagles - During Friday night's game against passes to Bush and Raider, the Ava Bears, the Liberty Eagle Cheerleaders had a followed by a 27-yard run by special half-time performance with the Future Liberty Orchard gave the Eagles a firstEagle Cheerleaders. (Photo: Standard/Wagner) down at the 25-yard line of the

Bears. Pruett ran for nine, then passed to Raider for 15 more, before finally taking it himself for a one-yard touchdown run. The Eagles were sitting on top with a 19-0 lead as halftime approached. For a moment, the offense began to sputter, as a fumble followed by an interception on a deep pass ended the next two Eagles drives. Ava wasn’t able to capitalize on the turnovers, however, and the teams went into the locker room with the Eagles leading 19-0 after holding the Bears to just 83 total yards and allowing just one completed pass. In the third quarter, it would be all Liberty again and life was good for the home crowd. The Eagles started the second half with the ball at their own 46yard line, and twice converted on third down, before finally scoring on a fourth and five from the Bears’ nine-yard line to take a 26-0 lead. Liberty’s defense crushed the Bears next possession, literally. From punt formation on fourth down, the Bears’ punter rolled out and was sandwiched between two defenders. That gave the Eagles the ball at the Bears 27-yard line, and Pruett passed to Orchard on the first play for another touchdown. It was 32-0 Eagles and the game looked to be well in hand. Then it changed. Ava scored a touchdown on their next possession, using 12 plays to march 71 yards. It looked as if the Eagles had stopped them on fourth and three at the Liberty 26-yard line, but after the head official picked up the ball and moved it forward two yards, the Bears had a first-down.

Orchard finished the night with 7 carries for 54 yards. He also caught a 27-yard touchdown pass. (Photo: Standard/Wagner) play later, Nate Bray scored on a 24-yard touchdown run. Liberty took over and passes to Bush and Xander Marshall moved the Eagles in Bears territory. But a fumble by Liberty was picked up and returned 65-yards for another Ava Bears touchdown. Just like that, Liberty’s lead was cut to 32-13. After a three-and-out by Liberty with help from a penalty, the Eagles punted back to the Bears. Liberty dodged a bullet when a Bears 36-yard gain was wiped out by a penalty, but Ava’s running game went to work and the Bears moved into Liberty territory with help from more

favorable spots by the officials, who once again picked up a ball and moved it forward for the Bears. It wasn’t the officials but Paul Porter however, who broke free for a 32-yard touchdown run to make it 32-19 Liberty. The Eagles finally put the game away on their next possession, helped by a facemask call against Ava on third down. A 25-yard run by Pruett and a 6-yard touchdown pass to Rudolph with 4:33 to go in the game, effectively put it out of reach. Despite a fourth consecutive touchdown drive, the Bears simply ran out of time and the Eagles ended the game with a 40-25 sigh of relief.

The Liberty Lady Eagles has not only had to battle through hot temperatures but as of late, has had two games against Willow Springs and Dora rained out. Catching a dry spell, the Lady Eagles welcomed Easter Carter on Thursday, September 10. The Lady Redbirds defeated the Lady Eagles 11-5. "We fell down 5-0 early and gave up two runs in the first and three runs in the third. We did a great job of clawing our way back into the game, tying the game 5-5 at the end of the fifth," explained Head Coach Robert Brown. "We came out in the top of the sixth inning but gave up 7 straight hits including a home run and ended up losing 5-11."

For the game, Brooke Taylor was 3/4 with 1 run and 2 RBIs; Autumn Johnson was 3/4 with 1 run and 1 RBI; Bethanie Daniels was 2/4; Cassidy Smith was 1/4 with 1 RBI and Sydney Burton was 2/4. "I like the fact that we didn't panic after falling behind 5 runs. We fought back to tie it, had all the momentum and just got hammered the top of the sixth. East Carter is a district opponent and it was a good test." The Lady Eagles will participate in the Bakersfield Tournament on September 12, travel to Hartville on September 14 and have two homes games on September 15 and September 17 against Bakersfield and Mansfield respectively.

Roadside Assistance Services for Older Drivers Dear Savvy Senior, I would like to get my wife and I set up with some type of roadside assistance service in case we get a flat tire or our battery conks out. Can you recommend some good and affordable services for retirees on a budget? Too Old to Fix a Flat Dear Too Old, Getting set up with a roadside assistance service you can call on day or night if your vehicle breaks down is a smart idea, and can provide you and your wife some real peace of mind. Here are some different options to look into that help you find a plan. Already Covered? For years, auto clubs like AAA were the only option drivers had when it came to roadside assistance, but today you have lots of choices. Most roadside assistance plans provide services like towing, flat-tire changes, jump-starting a battery, lost-key or lockout services, fuel delivery and help with stuck vehicles. Before you start shopping for a roadside assistance plan, you first need to find out if you already have coverage, or have access to inexpensive coverage that you’re not aware of. For example, if you drive a vehicle that is still under warranty, there’s a good chance you’re already covered. Most auto manufacturers now include comprehensive roadside assistance coverage for free when you buy a new or certified used car. This typically lasts as long as the basic warranty, but not always. Be sure you check. Also check your auto insurance provider, your credit card issuers and cell phone service providers. Many of these services provide different variations of roadside assistance as add-on plans that cost only a few dollars per year, or they’re free. But be aware that many of these services are limited in what they cover. When investigating these options, find out the benefit details including: Who’s covered (individuals and vehicles); how many roadsideassistance calls are allowed each year (three or four is typical); the average response time per service call; and the towing rules on where they will tow (to the nearest repair shop, or one that you choose) and how far (about 5 miles for basic plan is common, although some plans might cap the amount they pay for a tow at $100 or less). Auto Clubs If you find that you aren’t covered, or you want a better roadside plan than what’s currently available to you, you’ll want to check out auto/motor clubs. Most of these clubs offer two or more levels of membership depending on how much roadside assistance you want and are willing to pay for, and they often provide a variety of discounts on things like hotels, rental cars and other services. One of the best known and longest running clubs, AAA (aaa.com) offers comprehensive services and has an extensive network of more than 40,000 roadside assistance providers, which usually means fast response times. Costs vary widely from $48 to $162 per year depending on where you live and the plan you choose, plus an additional fee for adding a family member. Some other clubs to consider that may be a little less expensive include Allstate Motor Club (allstatemotorclub.com); AARP Roadside Assistance (aarproadside.com) for AARP members only; Better World Club (betterworldclub.com); BP Motor Club (www.bpmotorclub.com); Good Sam (goodsamroadside. com); and GM Motor Club (gmmotorclub.com). On-Demand Assistance Another new money saving option to consider is payon-demand roadside assistance services like Urgently (urgent.ly) and Honk (honkforhelp.com). If you use a smartphone and live in their service area, these nonmembership app-based services will let you call for help via smartphone, and will only charge you for the assistance you need at a low price. 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.

MDC, CFM encourage deer hunters to Share the Harvest Support venison-donation program started by bowhunters to feed fellow Missourians

Many Missouri families can’t afford to put highquality, low-fat red meat on the dinner table. Deer hunters can help by sharing their harvests through Missouri's Share the Harvest program. The venison-donation program connects deer hunters with hungry Missourians through participating meat processors and local hunger-relief agencies around the state. In 1992, a group of bowhunters in Missouri began the program to share the deer they harvested with those less fortunate. Since then, Missouri hunters have donated more than 3.3 million pounds of venison to the needy through Share the Harvest. Last year nearly 4,000 hunters donated more than 212,000 pounds of venison. The program is administered by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), the

Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM), and supported by numerous sponsors. To participate, hunters simply take their harvested deer to one of more than 130 participating meat processors around the state and let the processor know how much venison they wish to donate to the program. Hunters can donate a few pounds to a whole deer. The processor will package the ground meat, which will be given to local charitable agencies for distribution to hungry Missourians. The cost of processing is the hunter's responsibility, but funds are available to help with processing costs when a whole deer is donated. CFM reimburses processors a predetermined amount for each whole deer donated. This allows processors to reduce the processing fees to hunters. In addition, many processors have

local funds available that allow deer to be processed for free or at reduced cost. Contact individual processors to determine if local funds are available. To find participating processors pick up MDC's 2015 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet at MDC offices and nature center, where hunting permits are sold, and online at mdc.mo.gov. For more information on Share the Harvest and providing processing funds, visit CFM online at confedmo.org/programs/ outreach/share-theharvest/ Archery season opens Sept. 15. Need hunting permits? Buy and print them online at mo.wildlifelicense. com/start.php or through MDC’s FREE Mo Hunting mobile app. Get more info on Mo Hunting at mdc. mo.gov/mobile/mobileapps/mo-hunting.
