Outrage sparked across the country over a social media post that appeared on Facebook last week.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office reported numerous calls from all over the United States as well as Canada in regards to a social media post that violently showed puppies being killed by a Vanzant resident.

Josiah David Wheat, age 30 of Vanzant, is currently in the custody of the Douglas County Jail and has been charged with 5 felony E counts of animal abuse. Wheat’s bond has been set at $15,000, 10% cash or surety with CPS supervision and not to possess ANY domesticated animal.

A piece of history found its way back home this past week as a historical watering tank, which had been taken from Main Street to Veteran’s Park over 59 years ago is now back at its original location. The tank had been moved to the park by a joint effort of two iconic Mtn. View businesses.

Smith’s Flooring used their giant fork lifts to raise the tank onto the bed of a truck owned by Mtn. View Lumber Company who then hauled it to the park. On Friday, September 1, 2017 the same two businesses once again joined forces and moved the tank back home. City of Mtn. View workers Eddie Owens

and Lonnie Huffman worked to unearth the tank before the move.

The project began after Southwest Baptist University-Mtn. View Campus decided to tear down two of their older buildings. This opened the grounds up for a green area for the campus and the city. Local historian Jeremy Burks had the idea of resurrecting the watering tank and moving it back to it’s original location on those grounds after talks with SBU Campus Landmark Unearthed Director Donna Depee.

Thayer woman to appear in court on 2nd degree murder charges

by Laura Wagner Managing Editor laura@mvstandard.com

A Thayer woman is in custody of the Oregon County Sheriff’s Department on charges of murder-2nd degree after a shooting incident that occurred in June.

The Thayer Police Department received a call on June 11, 2017 at 10:34 p.m. about a shooting which occurred at North Vine Street. Dispatch was advising officers that the caller was stating, “his mom shot George”. Officers

MSHP

immediately responded to the area and learned that the shooting had actually occurred on North 3rd Street, the residence of Cynthia Willman.

When officers arrived on scene at North 3rd Street they observed a juvenile male kneeling in the yard, extremely upset and crying. The juvenile stated that the shooter was inside. The front door was open and officers could hear a male voice stating, “Help!” and “I can’t breathe!”. Officers located a male subject in the

living room area of the residence with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the abdomen and noted a large amount of blood where the subject was laying. Medics arrived on scene and took the male out while officers provided cover. A thorough search of the residence revealed no other subjects located within.

A short time later a female subject, identified as Willman, was discovered hiding in the woods approximately 50 to 100 yards behind the residence. When she was arrested she had what appeared to be blood down the front of her white dress. Officers later learned that the male subject who had been shot, identified as George Rhody Campbell, 45 of Thayer, had expired.

On June 12, 2017 the Child Advocacy Center conducted an interview with the reporting male juvenile who advised that Willman and Campbell had been arguing and that during the argument Willman placed a rifle against the stomach of Campbell. Campbell stated he was not afraid to die for people he loved. Willman then pulled the trigger.

Bennett’s impact on the physical campus in the last 10 years includes 12 building renovation projects and three new facilities – the FEMA/Student Recreation Center, Gohn Hall and HassDarr Hall (currently under construction with a targeted spring 2018 completion).

Liberty falls short in final seconds against Thayer night with three catches for 39 yards and two touchdowns. Andrew Holden and Coltin Weldon had several catches each, while Foster and Landon Cooley also pulled down passes at key moments. Liberty totaled 226 yards on the ground and 125 through the air.

Defensively, the Eagles struggled to stop Bobcats.

Thayer’s Garrett Young rushed for 216 yards in the first half and scored four touchdowns. He finished with 286 yards rushing as the Bobcats piled up 391 yards of offense. Thayer finished the game with two long drives. The Bobcats scored in the fourth quarter on a 68yard, 18-play drive to take a 32-28 lead, and followed that with a 54-yard, 12-play drive for another score and a 3828 lead. Those 30-plays left Liberty with 90-seconds to come from behind.

And they nearly pulled it off. The Eagles used six plays in just under a minute to score and pull within three, 38-35, with 39-seconds remaining. A beautiful onside kick by Jaris Acklin allowed the Eagles to recover and gave Liberty one last chance. Orchard completed his first two passes to move inside Thayer territory at the 34-yard line, but a dropped pass and two incompletions left the Eagles short as time ran out.

It was another tough finish to a game that started with a bang for the Eagles. Just as he did last week, Orchard scored early on a big run.

This time it was Liberty’s first play from scrimmage as Orchard took the hand-off from Acklin, broke through the middle of the defense, and was gone on a 68-yard touchdown run. Liberty took

a 7-0 lead and recovered an onside kick to get the ball back.

throats with runs of eight, six, five, fifteen, three, two, fifteen, nine, three, and finally a three-yard touchdown plunge. The half ended with Liberty down 26-14, and the second half started with a three-and-out by the Eagles.

Fortunately, the Liberty defense came out with some adjustments in the third quarter and stopped Thayer to give the offense another chance. Ethan Smith took advantage, busting outside for a 21-yard run and first down near midfield. A run by Orchard, and a third down pass to Cooley for 11-yards put the Eagles on Thayer’s side of the field. Orchard passed to Weldon for 32-yards on the next play, and tossed to Weldon again, this time for a 10-yard touchdown.

Not content to just catches passes from Orchard,

Weldon caught one from Thayer’s Ayden Stone on the Bobcats second play and returned it 50-yards to the Bobcat 14-yard line. Foster took a hand-off and ran it in from there. Suddenly, the Eagles were back in the lead 28-26 as the fourth quarter got underway.

The Eagles, however, again struggled to get Thayer’s offense off the field. After defensive adjustments by Liberty began to limit Thayer’s running attack, the Bobcats went to the air. Stone completed 5 of 6 passes on Thayer’s next drive, which ended 18-plays later in a one-yard touchdown run by Garrett.

Liberty failed to pick up a first down on their next possession, and the Bobcats went back down the field again. They kept it on the

ground most of the way, converting two third-downs, and one fourth-down before finally passing the ball for a 24-yard touchdown with 90-seconds remaining in the game.

Starting at midfield after the recovering a squib kick from Thayer, the Eagles scored quickly to cut the lead from 10 to three. Acklin followed with a perfect onside kick to give the Eagles the chance they needed with 30-seconds remaining.

Two Orchard passes moved the ball to the Thayer 34yard line, but with no time left to do anything but throw deep, a dropped pass and two incompletions ended Liberty’s chances. Liberty fell to Thayer 38-35 but in the process, showed signs of improvement. That’s good because Ava arrives on Friday.

Lady Eagles volleyball struggle to find their wings The Liberty Lady Eagles are off to a rough start on their 2017 season with a record of 0-3. The first three games of the season had the Lady Eagles facing off against Willard, West Plains and Eminence, some of the tougher opponents the Eagles will see this season.

The season began on Tuesday, September 22 as the Lady Eagles traveled to Willard to face the Lady Tigers.

The match was a two-set loss for the Eagles 12-25 and 1825. For the match, Ally Smith had 5 kills followed by Caitlyn Basham and Makayla Irvin with 4 kills each. Basham and Kelstin Roy each had 1 serving ace for the match, Smith had 1 single block, Basham had 5 digs followed

by Roy, Peyton Bush and Irvin with 3 each, Trinity Clark and Abby Reese with 2 and Smith with 1.

On Thursday, September 24 the Lady Eagles were on the road to West Plains to take on the Lady Zizzers.

The match was another twoset loss for the Eagles 19-25 and 23-25. For the match Irvin had 8 kills followed by Basham with 5, Smith with 3, Bush and Roy each with 1 kill. Reese, Bush and Roy each had 1 serving ace, Kennedy Cooley, Roy and Smith each had 1 solo block while Bush had 2. Amber Collins

had an impressive 10 digs for the match followed by Trinity Clark with 8, Irvin with 7, Reese with 5, Basham with 3, Roy with 2 and Smith with 1.

Rounding out the month of August, the Lady Eagles traveled to Eminence to face the Lady Redwings on Thursday, September 31. In two very close matches the Eagles were unable to overpower the Lady Redwings and fell 28-30 and 21-25.

“Our first two weeks have been super tough teams,” Head Coach Shari Tune stated. “Although that will benefit us in the long run, it’s

kind of hard on us now. We are young, new and mentally ... have a long ways to go.

But the last two games we have been in the game, we just need this level of experience to push through and finish. They will get there, they want to be ... all we need to focus on is where we are going to be in October. In reality, it’s what matters.”

Next up for the Lady Eagles will be their first home match of the season on Tuesday, September 12 against Houston followed by the second home game of the season on Thursday, September 14 versus Salem.

SMART START Seminar coming to Thayer

‘Tackling the Tough Skills’ Workshop planned for WP University of Missouri Extension and the Missouri Job Center will host a free sixweek workshop beginning Monday, September 11 - October 23, in West Plains on “Tackling the Touch Skills.”

The workshop will cover attitude, communication, problem solving, responsibility and preparing for the workplace.

The workshop will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Missouri Job Center conference room, 3417 Division Drive, Suite 1, West

Plains, and will be presented

by Angie Fletcher, MU Extension human development and family science specialist. Workshops are offered at no cost to the participant and certificates of completion will be awarded to those attending all six sessions.

To register, contact the Missouri Job Center by phone at 417-256-3158, or come by their office at the address listed above.

University of Missouri Extension programs are open to all.

Preparing for disasters: Take it one step at a time The catastrophic flooding in Texas underlines the need for families to prepare for disaster, says a University of Missouri Extension human development specialist.

Hurricanes and tropical storms rarely threaten the Show-Me State, but Missouri does see its fair share of flooding and extreme weather, including drought, devastating straight-line winds and tornadoes, and severe winter storms, says Sherry Nelson.

Disaster can strike at any time and in any place, Nelson notes. Are you and your family prepared? Do you have emergency supplies on hand? What is your family’s disaster plan?

Are important documents and information in a secure, accessible place?

“It’s a lot to think about, so it’s not surprising many people might throw up their hands and count on the odds of safety and survival being on their side,” she says. “A better way to look at preparedness is to see it as a process that we do over time. It is like any other goal we undertake. The main thing is to get started.”

For gathering emergency supplies, a divide-and-conquer approach can make preparing for emergencies a less intimidating prospect.

You might already have some of the basic items for an emergency supplies kit in your home. You can make a good start on disaster preparations by locating those items—such as flashlights and batteries, a

first-aid kit, and rain gear—and gathering them in one convenient location. If you have nonperishable, easily prepared food on hand, you might move some of it from the pantry shelves to your disaster kit.

You can add to your emergency supplies a little at a time.

“Break it down into manageable parts,” Nelson says. “This also can make it more affordable—perhaps $20 per month, more or less.”

A free, downloadable guide to putting together a disaster supplies kit is available from MU Extension at extension. missouri.edu/EMW1012.

Planning is also a crucial part of preparation. A disaster plan tells everyone in the family what they’re going to do when an emergency happens, Nelson says. A complete disaster plan will include information about each family member, household pets, insurance and finances, medications, vehicles, and the home and its contents.

You can download a disaster plan template at extension. missouri.edu/EMW1011. The PDF file can be filled out electronically, so you can update it frequently, print new copies and save backups on multiple devices and online in the cloud.

The emergency management office of Washington County, Ore., produced a 12-month preparedness calendar that provides a checklist of items to buy and things to do for each month. It can be downloaded at ocem.org/pdf_ resources/Prep_Calendar.pdf.

Up Close: A Presidential Pay Raise Our tax system is rigged, designed to help only the most powerful people who can afford the most expensive tax lawyers to find their way through tricky tax loop holes. This week, I joined President Donald Trump in Springfield to talk about our complicated and unfair tax code, the work we must do to fix it, and how we are going to give hardworking Americans a pay raise in the process.

Since 2001, the tax code has changed 6,000 times. That’s more than one time a day. Due to these constant changes, most Americans have to hire a tax expert to crack our tax code and figure out how much they owe the federal government, spending their own hard-earned money to find out how much more of their paycheck they are going to have to send to Uncle Sam. It doesn’t need to be this complicated!

Your tax return should fit on a single sheet of paper.

The U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means is the only committee in Congress that has the authority to fix our broken system. As the only member of Congress from Missouri on this committee, I have had the privilege of fighting for a fairer and flatter tax code, not only for our congressional district, but all of Missouri.

We have not seen true tax reform since Ronald Reagan was President, and it is high time for a better deal on taxes.

The work I am doing with the Ways & Means Committee and the White House is going to jump-start America’s economy and help Missourians win again. The bottom line is, the government should be taking the least amount of money from you as possible. We must make major changes to our tax code will lower tax rates and give folks in southeast and south central Missouri an instant pay raise so they can spend more of their hard-earned money on raising their families and investing in their futures.

Truly changing and fundamentally reforming the U.S. tax code is the best way to give American workers an increase in their take home pay. When America’s economy is healthy, it grows at roughly 3.5%, but since the beginning of the Obama Administration, it has hardly topped 2%. Our tax plan is going to return our country to more than 3% growth.

Over the next ten years, this growth will result in $10 trillion dollars of new economic activity, 12 million new jobs and a $7 trillion dollar pay raise for the American worker.

As it stands today, our outdated tax code actually incentivizes American businesses to move their headquarters and jobs where the tax rates are lower. We can’t compete, and this is unacceptable. By lowering the tax rate for American employers creating jobs in our country, we are going to make American businesses more competitive, bringing more opportunity, higher wages and a better quality of life to people across the country.

When I was with the President in Springfield this week he told me he has his pen in hand, ready to sign historic tax cuts, and that he’s depending on Congress to deliver. The liberal obstruction we saw on everything from confirming President Trump’s cabinet to repealing and replacing Obamacare is unacceptable. The question for liberals in Congress should be simple: Do you believe American workers deserve a raise? I know I do. I am hopeful that the obstructionists and people who are more concerned with defeating our President than doing their job will finally come together to do what’s right for the American families and workers to grow our economy.

porations, and volunteers, can learn more about how to help on the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) website.

In addition to the national members, The Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (Texas VOAD) has a list of vetted disaster relief organizations providing services to survivors. Texas VOAD represents more than three dozen faith-based, community, nonprofit and non-governmental organizations.

TO PERSONALLY VOLUNTEER IN THE DISASTER AREAS The State of Texas is asking volunteers to not self-deploy, as unexpectedly showing up to any of the communities that have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey will create an additional burden for first responders.

The National VOAD has also noted the situation may not be conducive to volunteers entering the impacted zone and individuals may find themselves turned away by law enforcement.

To ensure volunteer safety, as well as the safety of disaster survivors, volunteers should only go into affected areas with a specific volunteer assignment, proper safety gear, and valid identification.

At this time, potential volunteers are asked to register

with a voluntary or charitable organization of their choice, many of which are already in Texas and supporting survivors on the ground.

The National and Texas VOAD websites are offering links to those who wish to register to volunteer with community- and faith-based organizations working in the field.

Most importantly, please be patient. Although the need is great, and desire to help strong, it is important to avoid donating material goods or self-deploying to help until communities are safe and public officials and disaster relief organizations have had an opportunity to assess the damage and identify what the specific unmet needs are.

Volunteer generosity helps impacted communities heal from the tragic consequences of disasters, but recovery lasts much longer than today. There will be volunteer needs for many months, and years, after the disaster, so sign up now.

Tropical Storm Harvey is still dangerous, with the potential to impact additional areas of Texas and Louisiana. As the situation changes, needs may also change in these areas. Continue monitoring traditional and social media channels to learn more.

Helping Houston from Missouri

This week, the nation has watched as Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc on Houston and on the neighboring communities. Thousands of people have been misplaced. Homes and businesses have been destroyed, and the death toll continues to rise. Search and rescue teams from several states, including Missouri, have been deployed to help.

We know all too well from our own experience in Missouri the destruction Mother Nature can cause. Just six years ago, we witnessed our own disaster when an EF-5 tornado ripped our community apart. It was after the tornado touched down in Joplin that we began to see the kindness and compassion in our friends from other communities. In the days following, so many people from all over the country came to our aid donating time, money, and supplies. Without the generosity of those volunteers, our community would not have rebounded the way we did. We have never forgotten the labors of our neighbors in our time of need. Now, many people want to return the favor to the victims in the Houston area.

In order to make sure volunteer and donation efforts are the most beneficial for the victims of Hurricane Harvey, FEMA has put together a list of the most effective ways to help.

FEMA discourages donations of unsolicited goods such as used clothing, household items, medicine, or perishable food at this time. Instead, FEMA says cash donations to trusted, reputable, voluntary, or charitable organization better helps address urgently developing needs. Volunteer agencies and faith-based organization have more flexibility with cash in hand to buy resources needed immediately. Cash also helps pump money back into the local economy helping businesses recover faster. Blood donations are also needed (http:// www.redcross.org/give-blood).

FEMA suggests going to the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) website for more volunteer options. Also, the Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (Texas VOAD) has a list of vetted disaster relief organizations providing services to survivors. FEMA wants to remind people not to self-deploy to personally volunteer in the disaster areas. Potential volunteers should instead team up with a charitable organization and one already in Texas to help the victims.

Patience is key in situations like this. We want to make sure our efforts are safe and that we are meeting the actual needs of the victims. Volunteer efforts won’t end this week.

The community will need help for months and years after these waters recede. The recovery period is just now beginning. As we watch this storm move down the Gulf Coast with additional impact headed toward Louisiana, we will keep those victims and their families in our prayers as well.

Some of the Toughest Issues

by Brian Ingals Pastor of the Mtn. View Christian Church The Bible doesn’t always agree with popular opinion.

The toughest part, however, is when a passage of the Bible seems to contradict something you believe about God. It causes us to ask questions as to why would God do this or why would God say that?

Many people in our nation, for instance, especially those youthful folks who can still eat sweets without guilt, rightly feel compassion toward gay and transgender friends and question why God would condemn them as sinful. Even those of us who are older feel the struggle and tension between condemning sin and the godly desire to show compassion.

The Bible, admittedly, calls the practice of homosexuality a sin. Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 made it a capital offense for the ancient nation of Israel. While there is context to consider (these were the national laws of a country) the practice of homosexuality is still viewed as a sin. Romans 1:26-32 and I Corinthians 6:9 in the New Testament make that clear, listing homosexual practice along with other sins. The Bible pretty clearly then is against same-

sex marriage, etc.

When it comes to transgender lifestyle, the Bible only has one verse from Deuteronomy that seems to apply. I Corinthians 6:9 mentions “effeminate” men, but that was referring to a type of homosexual lifestyle.

The transgender issue wasn’t as common, evidently, as it is for us. Deuteronomy 22:5 condemns guys dressing as girls, and girls wearing men’s stuff. The older term for that was “transvestites,” but today, this is taken to mean more than clothes. Now it means believing oneself to literally be another gender. Of course, the Bible was probably talking about more than clothes, too.

To understand the Bible, it is worth noting that just as with the practice of homosexuality, the transgender lifestyle goes against God’s original design of human beings in the book of Genesis. Genesis describes that God made people male and female, and that God instituted marriage between a man and a woman. It is very likely then, the Bible would not approve of transgender lifestyles any more than it approves of homosexual actions.

The Bible doesn’t just go around condemning sins, though. It says that every single person on the earth is a sinner and explains why. God also

Letters to the Editor Letter to the Editor: I guess most folks know that the health care system is broken, and I knew that too but I recently ran into a new sang I was not aware of. When you go in for any surgery you must sign papers saying you won’t hold the hospital or doctor responsible for anything that goes wrong in there. We sign it because we have confidence in the doctor that they can do what they say they can. BUT what if they don’t? What if you have to go home and heal up so they can try again? Or if another doctor has to try and fix it? Even though it’s the same hospital, do you know you will be charged the full amount again? And again? Yes and it’s not cheap by any means!

I recently went in for (outpatient) surgery that was unsuccessful and had to do it over, which still did not work, but the hospital has billed Medicare over $60,000 for those outpatient surgery’s and yes I have all the co-pay to pay again, that too is not cheap. It looks like a lot when social security pays $570 a month and the bill is so outrageous. I ask you where is the incentive for hospitals to hire good doctors when they make so much more money if they can do it 2 or 3 times? No more Mercy for me. Next time I go to Barnes. Do you happen to know if they double bill also? I am already in collections I really don’t want more added to it. Patient beware!

Letter to the Editor: Dear Sheriff Brawley,

With this letter I wish to commend one of your deputies, Stetson Schwien. His demeanor, suggestions, responsiveness, investigation thoroughness and just willingness to help was so much very appreciated. For I know that many times Law Enforcement Officers find theirselves in a thankless job.

I had a break-in and theft in the early morning hours of August 15 into my separate garage and workshop. The perpetrators got away with at least four items with a total value of well over $3,000. What I hated most is that I was apparently deep asleep and oblivious to the thieves until the very last of their adventures. Upon arousal and discovery of the break-in and theft, I contacted the sheriff’s office. Deputy Schwien was notified of the issue when he came into work and immediately called and then came out to conduct an investigation and gather additional information.

Before Deputy Schwien’s arrival, I had contacted several neighbors to inform them of my theft in case they would find issues on their properties. While Deputy Schwien was here, a neighbor came over to inform us that he had spotted a couple of my stolen items dumped into a drainage along side a road on Conservation lands. This location was a little over a mile away from my place. Deputy Mary West Schwien went to the location Mountain View and he spent considerable time

didn’t create us this way, according to the Bible, but the human race was separated from God by sin, which happened in Genesis. As a result, we are all broken in some way, and we don’t always choose to be broken. Sometimes, we just are.

The Bible says, “Through one man (Adam, back in Genesis) sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Rom 5:12, NASB).

As a result, the Bible says we are all naturally slaves to sin (Rom 7:23). So in other words, it’s no wonder we feel and desire things that are sinful. The answer, according to the Bible, is not to be satisfied or approve of our sinfulness, however, but to turn to God for help. The the message of the Bible is that God loves sinners, and that Jesus came to save every single one.

So the question the Bible really asks is whether people will submit their lives to Him, actually leave behind the old lifestyle (whatever it is), and trust Christ by faith. That doesn’t mean anyone will be perfect, but it does mean making a commitment to keep coming back to God and learning to obey Him more and more. Even Jesus, rumor had it, was “a friend of sinners.” So while the Bible says the sin is real, so is that compassion from God.

and efforts to try and pull fingerprints off the items. While good fingerprints were not obtained, I noted the efforts and details in his actions.

One of the items stolen and then dumped was a heavy generator, weighing over 250 pounds. Much too heavy for me to handle by myself anymore (I have found that I have evolved into an old man now). Not only did Deputy Schwien help me to pull the generator out of the drain and put into my vehicle, he also offered to return to my place and help to unload the heavy generator. I cannot express how grateful I was with this offer; which I took him up on. This was an additional effort that I had never expected and I believe that it really does go way and beyond the level of service required of any officer.

Being a former employee with the US Forest Service and having some minor training with and in law enforcement with the agency, I found that your officer outperformed himself when comparing his efforts with so many of the problems and issues that I had been involved with during my former career. You have a really good employee there. I would hope that Deputy Stetson Schwien can somehow be recognized for his enhanced actions to assist me with my first ever theft with his details, and efforts to save my back. Thank you, and again thanks to Deputy Schwien.

After high-scoring win, Missouri begins SEC play

by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist

A total of 1,611 students began classes Monday morning, Aug. 21, for the first day of the 2017 fall semester at Missouri State University-West Plains, university officials announced.

That is the number of students enrolled as of Sunday evening, Aug. 20, the end of the regular registration period for the fall semester, university officials said. Last year, 1,827 students were enrolled for the first day.

Monday’s figures included enrollment numbers from Missouri State-West Plains’ extended campus in Mountain Grove, online courses and early enrollees in the dual credit/dual enrollment classes being offered this fall at several area high schools.

“We anticipated that our enrollment numbers may be down this year, considering that enrollment is projected to be down at almost every two-year college and several four-year colleges across Missouri,” Missouri StateWest Plains Chancellor Drew Bennett said. “There are many factors that affect

Everyone is invited to help Missouri State University-West Plains and the Grizzly Booster Club celebrate 25 years of Grizzly Athletics during the annual Grizzly Fall Picnic at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8, in the West Plains Civic Center Exhibit Hall.

A complimentary barbecue meal will be served free of charge to the first 500 attendees by Almost Famous Grille and BBQ as fans gather to kick off the 201718 volleyball and basketball campaigns. Grizzly Volleyball Head Coach Paula Wiedemann, Grizzly Basketball Head Coach Chris Popp and Grizzly Cheer Team Coach Nick Pruitt will be on hand to introduce the volleyball,

basketball and cheer team members, respectively, and give previews of the upcoming seasons.

The event is being held prior to the 6:30 p.m. season home opening volleyball match between the Grizzlies and Iowa Western Community College, Council Bluffs, Iowa, in the West Plains Civic Center arena. Organizers said admission to the match also will be free.

Long-time Grizzly Booster Club members Bob and Donna Frey, West Plains, will be given the Grizzly Track Award during intermission.

The award is presented periodically to members of the Grizzly Booster Club who have shown exceptional en-

Missouri’s thoroughly ridiculous, season-opening 72-43 win over Missouri State at Faurot Field on Saturday provided plenty of material for overreactions. It was a bizarre day in Columbia, with Missouri (1-0) piling up 815 yards of offense against an overmatched defense. The Tigers also yielded lots of points and yardage, including an inexcusable 35 first-half points.

When Missouri State (01) took a 35-34 lead, boos rained down on the Missouri defense. But after every ghastly defensive breakdown, the Tigers seemed to roar right back with a quick touchdown,

another cannon blast, and more pushups for Truman the Tiger’s poor, striped arms.

Quarterback Drew Lock threw for 521 yards and seven touchdowns, both school records.

So is Missouri hopeless defensively, and are the Tigers an unstoppable offensive force? We’ll get better answers to both on Saturday, when Missouri steps up the strength of opponent significantly. The Tigers host South Carolina (6 p.m. on ESPN2) in their first Southeastern Conference game of the season.

This one’s big. If Missouri is going to make a bowl, let alone contend in the SEC East, it probably needs to win this one. For the big picture, Missouri’s Barry Odom

Story’s Creek School reunion at Alley Springs

Celebrate 25 years of Grizzly Athletics at the Grizzly Fall Picnic Sept. 8 thusiasm for and extraordinary support of Grizzly Athletics over an extended period of time.

All Grizzly fans, not just Grizzly Booster Club members, are encouraged to attend the picnic and enjoy the festivities, organizers stress.

Fans who would like to join the booster club may do so that evening. Memberships start at $500, which includes season tickets to the Grizzly Volleyball and Basketball home games and access to the booster club hospitality room.

The Grizzly Booster Club was formed in 1993 to provide community encouragement and support for the Missouri State Uni-

versity-West Plains Grizzly athletic teams. Funds raised provide for educational scholarships and other vital program needs. Without the work, commitment, and support of the Grizzly Booster club, Grizzly Athletics would not be possible, university officials said.

For more information about the picnic or the Grizzly Booster Club, contact Missouri State-West Plains development office at 417255-7240. For more information about the Grizzly Volleyball and Basketball seasons, contact Dean of Student Services/Athletic Director Dr. Angela Totty at 417-255-7255.

were approved. The following payment to individuals related to board members was approved: $407.64 to Godfather's Pizza and $250 to Johnnie Renegar. Steve Vines and Earl Renegar abstained from these votes. Dr. Christensen presented the July 2017 financial report stating that the balance in all funds for July 2017 was $4,378,064.48.

Each year the district must approve and adopt a plan for compliance with state and federal regulations pertaining to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). A model was made available by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) for all the school districts in the state. The board approved the model from a motion made

by Kent Smith and seconded by Keith Tharp. Another formality the board had to

address was the Board Conflict of Interest policy. "This policy has to be readopted every two years," explained Dr. Christensen. "No changes have been made to our existing policy, this will just be re-approving what we have." The policy was approved with a motion made

by Keith Tharp and seconded

by Shelly Mantel.

In other school board business, the board approved that Bus #8 and Bus #16 are to become surplus property. The board took bids for the purchase of the buses. The two highest bids for $1,200 were accepted.

During closed session the board approved to add Angela Voyles, Stacey Bushong, Glenna Bellew, Jessie Henry, Jackie Owens, Misty Dickerson, Susan Frazier, Carla Randolph and Whitney Phillips to the substitute list with all board members voting "yea".

Raising awareness about female heart attack symptoms: One survivor’s story

By Stacy Tintocalis, Freelance Writer

Check-In Services That Can Help Seniors Stay Put Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any services you know of that check in on elderly seniors who live alone. I worry about my 84-year-old father falling or having a medical emergency, and not being able to get to the phone to call for help. And he won’t wear a lifeline help-button.

Desperate Daughter Dear Desperate, Depending on where your dad lives, there are check-in call services, volunteer visiting programs, and a variety of technology options you can turn to that can help you keep tabs on him. Here are several to check into.

Daily Check-in Calls To make sure your dad is OK every day, consider signing him up with a daily check-in call service program. These are telephone reassurance programs run by police or sheriff’s departments in hundreds of counties across the country and are usually provided free of charge.

Here’s how they work. A computer automated phone system would call your dad at a designated time each day to check-in. If he answers, the system would assume everything is OK. But if he didn’t pick up or if the call goes to voice mail after repeated tries, you (or whoever his designee is) would get a notification call. If you are not reachable, calls are then made to backup people who’ve also agreed to check on your dad if necessary.

The fallback is if no one can be reached, the police or other emergency services personnel will be dispatched to his home.

To find out if this service is available in your dad’s community, call his local police department’s nonemergency number.

If, however, the police or sheriff’s department in your dad’s community doesn’t provide a daily check-in call program, there are a number of companies you can turn to that offer similar services offered directly to consumers for under $15 per month. Some to check into include the CARE senior calling program (Call-Reassurance.com), CareCheckers (CareCheckers.com) and IAmFine (Iamfine.com).

Volunteer Visiting Programs Another option you may also want to investigate is volunteer visiting programs, which are usually run by churches, community groups, or social service agencies.

These programs provide volunteers who will visit an older adult in their home usually for an hour or two once a week, providing companionship as well as the reassurance that someone is checking in on a regular basis. They can also alert you if they notice your dad’s health or living conditions start to decline.

To find out if these services are available, check with local churches or the area agency on aging near your dad – call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 for contact information.

Technology Solutions Technology also offers a number of ways to help keep your dad safe at home, and help you keep an eye on him from afar. For example, for safety and peace of mind there are medical alert systems, which provide a wearable “help button” that would allow him to call for help anytime he needed it. Some of these systems (like Bay Alarm Medical, BayAlarmMedical.com) also offer wall-mounted buttons that can be placed near the floor in high fall risk areas like the bathroom or kitchen, if he didn’t wear a help button.

And to help you keep daily tabs on your dad, there are wireless sensor-monitoring systems (like Silver Mother, Sen.se/silvermother) you could put in his home that will notify you if something out of the ordinary is happening; and video monitoring cameras (like the Nest Cam, Nest.com/ camera) that have built-in motion and sound detection that will let you know when something is detected, and two-way audio that will let you talk and listen to him.

For Sharon Alexander, the first sign she was having a heart attack wasn’t what she expected. “I thought it was food poisoning,” she said. At midnight, she had some gastrointestinal distress. Then early that morning, she started vomiting.

“Women’s symptoms are so atypical that I had no clue a heart attack was happening,” Alexander explained.

At age 71, Alexander had an active lifestyle, took frequent walks, and hadn’t had any major health issues when her heart attack occurred.

There was no genetic predisposition in her family. “I was a non-smoker,” she said. She didn’t see herself as someone who might be at risk.

But the morning of her heart attack, she just didn’t feel good. “I’ve only thrown up four times in my life, and it had been 45 years since I’d last thrown up,” Alexander said. “That was my red flag.

The vomiting was almost an involuntary reaction.”

Instead of weathering her symptoms, Alexander headed from Thomasville to the Emergency Department (ED) at Ozarks Medical Center in West Plains. “It was two days after the flooding,” she explained, “so I expected the ED to be busy. But there was no delay. I got right in.

Boom. Boom!”

OMC’s ED did a quick EKG and bloodwork. She went straight from the ED to do an angiogram. Dr. Kevin Crowe, OMC’s interventional cardiologist, was already there at 6:30 that morning.

“Everything was very thorough,” Alexander said. “It was a quick diagnosis. I heard the words triage and acute, and I thought, ‘I think they’re talking about me!’”

When it was clear that Alexander was having a heart attack, Emergency Department Pysician Dr. Brian Teeter got down on one knee, so he could be close to her ear.

He very calmly explained what was about to happen, saying that things would start to move quickly. “We got this!” he told her.

“He was the calm in the storm,” Alexander said. “He seemed so reassuring.”

At 8:30 that morning, two hours from the time Alexander walked through the Emergency Department doors, her surgery was complete, and she was back in

Mercy St. Francis to host health fair Are you at risk of having diabetes, heart disease or other chronic conditions? A few simple tests could shine light on lingering health problems.

That’s why Mercy St. Francis Hospital is hosting a health fair on Friday, Sept. 29.

“A lot of folks will be in town for Pioneer Day that weekend, so we wanted to make it as easy as possible for everyone to stop by and get some reduced-cost lab screenings,” said Mercy di-

etitian Lindsey Barton.

Anyone is invited to stop by the hospital for the event, which will include interactive booths with health information and services, as well as the following offerings: Comprehensive health panel (complete metabolic profile, lipid profile, complete blood count), $15 PSA Test (prostate cancer screening), $10 Hgb A1c (average blood

glucose), $5 TSH (thyroid test), $5 Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Body Mass Index (BMI) Oxygen Saturation and Spirometry “If detected early, a lot of conditions could be prevented,” Barton said. “If you’re coming to this health fair, it’s important to fast for 12 hours before having blood drawn.”

The health fair on Friday, Sept. 29, will run from 6 to 10 a.m. in suite 1 on the east side of the hospital, located at 100 W. U.S. Highway 60 in Mountain View, Missouri. No registration is required for the health fair; participants will be screened on a first-come, firstserved basis.

ICU. An angiogram found the blockage. Then doctors performed angioplasty and placed a stent in her femoral artery.

“I think most people don’t realize OMC has interventional cardiology,” Alexander said. Interventional cardiology uses balloons and stents to open blocked arteries.

According to Devon Emerson, OMC’s Cardiopulmonary Director, OMC has extremely fast interventional cardiology. “The national benchmark is 90 minutes to get from the Emergency Department door to having a stent or balloon performed in a Cath Lab,” Emerson said.

“It’s called door-to-balloon time. OMC’s average is 64 minutes. During the first quarter of 2017, OMC’s average was actually 49 minutes.”

“In my case,” Alexander said, “it was more like 45 minutes.”

After her heart attack, when Alexander related her experience at OMC to her nephew, a physician’s assistant at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, he told her that rural hospitals are faster than city hospitals.

He went on to say that city hospitals keep stabbings and shootings in the ED. “Where you are,” he told her, “there aren’t seventeen other crises

Landmark Mike Wake were all in agreeance that this piece of history needed to be preserved and displayed.

“I’m excited about this move. I’m excited for SBU to utilize it and make it their centerpiece of their green area but at the same time I’m excited for the people, the citizens of Mtn. View. This has brought back a lot of childhood memories and stories.

It’s a piece of our history that was buried and lost and now we will have it for many years,” stated Burks on the resurrection of the tank.

The Standard wrote several articles about how the water tank was donated and when it was dedicated. After digging through the archives, Standard News Managing Editor Laura Wagner and Burks found the issues of the newspaper they were looking for.

Friday, April 12, 1918 “The new concrete public watering trough, to be installed at the west end of Main street by funds raised by the Literary Needlecraft Club of this city, will soon be a reality, as work will

around you, so you get really good care.”

After going through this experience, Alexander wants people to know that time is of the essence when you are having a heart attack, and you don’t need to go to Springfield for great treatment. “All you need is right here!” she said.

Alexander also wants women to know the range of women’s heart attack symptoms. “My husband and I had a good friend who died from a heart attack,” Alexander said. “She ignored her symptoms for weeks. Women need to know symptoms are so varied. In my case, there was no pain in the shoulders. No pain in the arms. No pain in the heart. Just nausea and vomiting. I was fine all day Tuesday and cooked all day.” Her first symptoms didn’t begin until midnight.

According to the Mayo Clinic, men who have heart attacks may experience tightness in the chest. Women don’t necessarily experience this. Instead, a woman experiencing a heart attack may have difficulty breathing and shortness of breath as well as dizziness, nausea, pain in the right arm, or perspiration.

Emerson said heart attack symptoms might also include pressure or pain in your chest or back; pain or discomfort in your neck, jaw,

or stomach; pain that radiates down one or both arms or shoulders; profuse sweating; or anxiety.

So when should you go to the Emergency Department?

According to Emerson, “If your symptoms last more than a few minutes or go away and come back, come into the ED. In short, if you feel like something isn’t right, don’t hesitate to get treatment.”

Alexander’s general practitioner was thankful she didn’t dismiss the first signs of her heart attack and stay home.

“The faster you go to the hospital,” he told her, “the less damage there is to your heart.”

Alexander was lucky to have no heart damage at all.

“We don’t run to the doctor often,” Alexander said, “but after having this experience, people should know that women’s heart attack symptoms are different from men’s, and they shouldn’t wait for their symptoms to get worse.”

From Page One be started this week toward building it. It is to be circular, of solid concrete, and 10 feet in diameter. The water is to be piped to it from the railroad deep well, and the city is to pay for the water used, at the rate of 25 cents per 1000 gallons. This will fill a long felt want in our city, and one which our farmer patrons will appreciate, especially during the hot days of summer. The ladies worked hard to secure the necessary funds for this commendable enterprise and our business men responded cheerfully to their solicitations. So far as we know, this is the only city in this section which has thus catered to the farmers’ needs.”

Friday, April 19, 1918 “Needlecraft Club met with Mrs. J.B. Hannah April 4. The meeting was called to order by the president and considerable business was transacted. The committee on the water tank reported that work would be commenced at once. It was voted to ask Mrs. W. C. Park to become a member. After the business session the time

was spent pleasantly in social converse and knitting, while several choice selections were played on the Graphanola. Mrs. Hannah served light refreshments, which is against the rules, but no one suggested she be fined, for all enjoyed them very much.

Those present were Mesdames T.L. Alexander, J.T. Bickel, Lee Welch, Chas.

Chowning, Blanche Stafford and Master Austin Chowning.”

Friday, May 10, 1918 “Saturday afternoon (May 4) the public watering tank, which was donated to the public by our Literry Needlecrafters, was presented to the city, in a neat and appropriate speech, by the president of the society, Mrs. Blanche Stafford, and received in like manner by Mayor H.E. Ferrell. The school children marched in a body to the band stand, where the services were held, and sang several patriotic songs. The Mountain View band also furnished some excellent music for the occasion.”

Bennett became chancellor.

“Dr. Bennett has transformed the West Plains campus,” said Missouri

From Page One State University President Clif Smart. “We appreciate his devotion to the university and the community.”

Bennett noted his retirement plans are relatively simple. “I plan to have a ball. My wife, Elizabeth, and I have an extensive bucket list that includes travel and spending time with family.”

Bennett plans to remain in West Plains, the longest place of residence during his adult life.

“We will be sorry to lose Dr. Bennett at the end of this academic year,” said Missouri State University Board of Governors’ Chair Virginia Fry. “He has energized the West Plains campus with new programs and new facilities.”

The university will begin the search for Bennett’s replacement this fall.

Matt Morris, vice president for administrative services, will lead the search committee.

Buy native trees and shrubs from MDC State Forest Nursery Native trees and shrubs can help improve wildlife habitat and soil and water conservation while also improving the appearance and value of private property.

The Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC)

George O. White State Forest Nursery offers a variety of low-cost native tree and shrub seedlings for reforestation, windbreaks, erosion control, wildlife food and cover, and other purposes.

This year, the State For-

est Nursery is taking orders starting a couple months early, beginning on Sept.

1 instead of in November.

Orders are being accepted through April 15, 2018. Supplies are limited so order early. Orders will be shipped or

For many people, owning a piece of property adjacent to the Mark Twain National Forest is the fulfillment of a dream. Residing next to a National Forest allows a homeowner to enjoy solitude, see abundant wildlife and view spectacular scenery daily. It is important for property owners to understand both the benefits and responsibilities of living next door to public lands.

National forests are working forests managed for multiple uses—including wildlife, timber, water quality, and recreation. Opportunities are offered for the public to participate in project planning on Forest Service land and to provide input into the Forest Service project decisions during a process called “scoping”.

Listening to feedback from neighboring landowners is important to the Forest Service personnel who plan these projects.

Along with the many benefits of being a National Forest neighbor, there are also rules and regulations that need to be followed. Fences are the responsibility of the landowner, and it is also their responsibility to keep livestock off National Forest System land (unless operating under a Special Use Permit for grazing). It is highly recommended that a neighboring landowner has their property surveyed by a licensed land surveyor before constructing anything near their property boundaries. If someone accidentally constructs a fence or building on the Forest, it will have to be removed. This costly mistake can be avoided by knowing the exact location of property lines. This applies to timber harvesting as well. If a landowner de-

cides to harvest timber, they should have their boundaries professionally verified well in advance of the harvest.

Cutting timber across property lines on National Forest land can be a costly mistake.

When in doubt, check if you need a Special Use Permit Many activities on Forest Service land require a Special Use Permit (SUP). Permits are necessary for any activity that involves potentially damaging or removing any natural resources. Here are some examples of activities that will probably require a SUP to be done on Forest Service lands: • Crossing Forest Service land in a motorized vehicle to get to private property (not served by a County or Forest Service Road); • Placing a gate, fence, sign or any other construction or barrier; • Crossing Forest Service land to bring in utilities (e.g., electricity, cable TV, phoneline, water lines); • Hosting a large gathering of 75 or more people on National Forest lands; • Harvesting or collecting forest products to sell (e.g., pine cones, mushrooms, plants, berries, herbs, rocks, minerals); Note: incidental gathering of Forest products like mushrooms and berries for personal consumption do not require a permit. Collection of ginseng is not allowed.

• Grazing of cattle or other livestock; • Cutting and bailing of grass/hay; • Occupying/camping on the forest beyond 14 days; • Commercial filming operations; • Special events like Road

Rallies and cross country racing/runs; • Gathering of fire wood; Note: if you are camping on the forest and the wood is for your camp fire, you do not need a permit.

• Operating a guiding operation for profit (e.g. leading horse trail rides, guided hunts, guided hikes, canoe rentals); • Research.

This is not a complete list of all of the activities that require a SUP, so if you have a question, please call one of our offices.

National Forest recreation activities include camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, boating, horseback riding and much more.
