In a physical, hard-hitting game the Thayer Bobcats had several chances to close the gap on the scoreboard against the visiting Liberty Eagles, but Brenton Bush wouldn’t let them.

The speedy junior picked up two game-changing turnovers on defense, and hauled in a touchdown pass on offense as the Eagles out-hit, and outlasted a big Thayer team for a 19-3 conference victory.

The previously undefeated Bobcats scored 44 points against a top-ten Strafford team the previous Friday, but against the Eagles defense they never reached the endzone despite starting eight drives at mid-field or better.

Bush deserved a large share of the credit after stopping a

second quarter Thayer drive at the goal line by picking up a fumble, and later intercepting an Ayden Henry pass in the red-zone to end a third quarter scoring threat.

But it wasn’t just Bush. The sizeable offensive line of the Bobcats made little progress against the Liberty defensive line, and by the end of the night Liberty had out-rushed Thayer 137 yards to 115, and forced the Bobcats to punt five times. Thayer ended the night with 176 yards of total offense, barely half of Liberty’s 329 total yards.

It wasn’t always easy for Liberty’s offense however.

Commission lowers tax levy for road, bridge dept.

The Howell County Commission on Monday, August 31, 2015 voted to lower the tax levy for the Howell County Road and Bridge Department for the 2015 tax year. Howell County Presiding Commissioner Mark Collins said, "Missouri law requires that half of the income generated by the half cent county sales tax be used in a roll back formula to determine the levy allowed by law". Collins added, "This year's sales tax revenue is up and that drops the amount of the allowable tax levy."

The 2014 levy was 0.1288 (or about 13 cents per $100 assessed valuation). This year the Commission voted to set the levy at 0.0960 (or slightly more than 9 and onehalf cents per $100 assessed valuation), effectively lowering the rate paid about 3 and one-half cents for Howell County Taxpayers.

MDC 2016 matching grant funds available for fire departments The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has announced that applications are being accepted through Oct. 30 for the 2016 Volunteer Fire Assistance Matching Grant Program.

In order to qualify, fire departments must serve a population of 10,000 or fewer and match every dollar they're granted. The maximum amount available is $3,000. If the fire department has a complete, MDC-approved Community Wildfire Protection Plan, it can access an additional $1,000 in matching funds.

"This grant program is designed to help fire departments purchase wildfire suppression equipment that they would not otherwise be able to afford," said MDC Forest Field Programs Supervisor Ben Webster. "It means increased safety for the firefighters and better protection in forested areas."

For those who have been involved in the grant program before, Webster says the application timeline has been changed from previous years.

"Due to some changes in how we process the

applications, our deadline has been moved up to the end of October," said Webster. "If you've applied in the past, keep this in mind and don't miss your opportunity."

Grant funds can be used on everything from radios and other communication equipment to chainsaws, hoses, and hand tools. While applicants can also apply for equipment to fight structure fires, preference will be given to those applying for wildfire equipment. Grant funds will be released to fire departments in summer 2016.

firefighters training on the proper use of a thermal imaging camera (TIC). A TIC is a device that allows heat that cannot be seen by the naked eye to be detected.

This is an important tool for locating fire burning inside or behind walls and in other enclosed spaces. These “hotspots” can cause a fire to restart hours after a fire has been extinguished. The TIC also has significant potential in search and rescue as it can identify body heat at a distance or in the dark. In this picture there is a fire inside the white board (simulating a wall) that is being detected with the TIC. The EAVFD plans to purchase a TIC in the near future. (Photo provided to the Standard)

SOAR of broadband in our area.

Dial-up internet was the only internet that was available in areas that were off the major highway corridors.

One woman described the service and how slow it was, "I try to download information and I can bake a cake before it has finished downloading." she said. Various organizations such as Southern Ozarks Council of Governments were looking at the problem and the State of Missouri established a task force to investigate the solutions to the problem. The USDA Rural Development established an office in

From Page One Columbia with personnel to study the problem. Nothing appeared to work.

At he first SOAR meeting on the subject, several options were explored. The HowellOregon Electric Cooperative was called into play to investigate the possibility of rural high speed internet over the power lines. A meeting was held at the Cooperative offices with Dan Singletary, CEO and General Manager of Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative and Myles Smith, Manager of member services. In this meeting Lou Wehmer discussing the power

line options. Another early meeting involved Sho-Me Technologies of Marshfield, Mo. which is the trunk line operators for internet in our area. Sho-Me Technologies Director of Operations is Tim Lewis and Becky Allen his assistant, both provided valuable information about "last mile" internet services.

Last mile is the term for

delivery of the rural high speed internet services to thefinal distance to the home or business.

Centurylink came into play when Bill Fallin and Pamela Anderson came to meetings with expertise from the telephone company.

Dave Foster, manager of area services, provided strong support for the effort.

More Hypocrisy from the Governor: Why Lawmakers Should Override the Veto of Senate Bill 67

In a few weeks, the Missouri General Assembly will travel back to Jefferson City for our annual veto session, a constitutionally mandated session that allows lawmakers the chance to override any of the governor’s vetoes. Over the past couple of years, lawmakers have disagreed with the governor and corrected several of his mistakes. This year, one of my sponsored bills could be brought up for a veto override vote. Senate Bill 67 would have increased court fees that could be used to fund much needed local capital projects.

These projects include a new county juvenile center and new judicial facilities. The bill also provides a mechanism to help fund costs associated with keeping up with general repair, maintenance, and the day-to-day operations of various county and local facilities.

In the governor’s veto message regarding SB 67 he stated “Local capital projects should be funded through local revenues or, with voter approval, new revenue sources rather than through a back-door tax in the form of court user fees.” The governor, in his own veto letter, is contradicting his stance on a recent issue regarding a new sports stadium in St. Louis, where his own administration is continuing to push forward a plan to approve a multi-million dollar, taxpayer funding project without approval from voters or the Legislature. Can you smell the hypocrisy?

My bill establishes user fees for those who actually use the court facilities and would not affect those who don’t.

The new and expanded court fees would range from one to 10 dollars in the 33rd Senatorial District. This only applies to civil and criminal cases, excluding traffic violations. The governor is wrong to veto a measure that will help rural governments keep the lights on and provide a mechanism to fund future projects, which are sorely needed in our district. The governor has also taken the wrong position when it comes to not letting the public and lawmakers vote and approve a state-backed bonding plan to build a second football stadium in St. Louis. He is also wrong to plan to raise both fuel and cigarette taxes without voter approval.

These changes will affect the budgets of households across our state, and not allowing the input of the citizens of this state is something that bothers me greatly.

Senate Bill 67 was approved in the Senate by a vote of 273, and approved in the House by a vote of 126-16. It’s clear the legislative branch has spoken on the issues contained in the bill and has the necessary votes, a two-thirds majority in each chamber, to override the governor’s veto of this much needed legislation. Veto session will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at noon. I will continue to provide updates on veto session in this column over the next few weeks.

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.

America needs a healthy economy that puts folks in control and on the path to financial independence, but last week five unelected bureaucrats at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) made a decision to set our economy back and hurt job growth. The NLRB, a federal agency that oversees the organization of labor unions, opted to change the way employees at franchises like McDonald’s, Colton’s Steakhouse, or Anytime Fitness are characterized.

This decision will have a devastating effect on small businesses and job creators across the country.

The agency decided that employees no longer work for an individual franchised small business but are instead employed by the corporate brand.

Previously, individual franchises had the autonomy to hire employees, set wages, and promote exceptional workers. Individual stores had the responsibility to meet standards for taste, cleanliness, or quality. Now, the NLRB’s decision makes the corporation liable for these responsibilities and removes any incentive to franchise their brand.

This decision is 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. It makes it more difficult to start and run a business, and needlessly hurts job creators that own the more than 780,000 franchises in America, and

the nearly nine million people they employ. These decisions should be made by the employees in the communities where they work and at the individual franchise level just as was the precedent for more than 30 years.

This decision also means that folks hired by staffing agencies, contractors, and subcontractors, would be considered employees of the clients they work for, not the company that hired them and signs their paycheck.

I am calling on my colleagues to join me in blocking any funding for this decision so that we can keep job creators and employees in control, and let individuals decide what’s best. The NLRB’s reckless decision does nothing more than prevent hardworking people from staking their claim to the American Dream and financial independence.

original Centurylink plan for a large Federal Communications Commission program fell apart because of restrictions on the build-out in the rural areas that did not meet economic guidelines of the telephone company, However Bill Fallin was able to secure about $1.5 million of Centurylink funds for expansion of the rural internet in Howell and surrounding counties. Over several years this interim program provided DSL services to many additional homes and businesses.

The SOAR Board of Directors, representatives of thirty-one communities in the 10 counties of Howell, Oregon, Shannon, Texas, Douglas, Ozark, Wright, Reynolds, Carter and Wayne continued to push for rural high speed internet services from any and every available source.

Several other companies and organizations attempted to bring high speed internet to our area.

Efforts by Inter-County Electrical Cooperative, Trillium Trust, and the TRAIN Organization of Texas County were efforts that reached out for every option for rural high speed internet.

Missouri State Senator Mike Cunningham provided valuable assistance.

The SOAR organization called for and set up a rural high speed internet meeting at the SOAR headquarters in the Chas. Ferguson building in Willow Springs. Senators Blunt and McCaskill staff were there to offer their support for any plan thought feasible.

Centurylink and the Peace Valley Telephone Co. as well as the Ellington Telephone Company were there. Mr. Dee McCormack of Ellington spoke of the efforts of an independent

telephone company to provide internet services to a rural community.

Centurylink representatives spoke of the difficulty of working with the Federal Communications Commission when the program for the build out diminished the lack of population density of the area and included speed requirements of a rural system were too restrictive.

The SOAR organization wrote Chairman Tom Wheeler of the Federal Communications Commission with suggestions of realistic goals for a rural high speed internet in out state South Central Missouri. Senators Blunt and McCaskillwere informed of our effort. Congressman Jason Smith made efforts from his office. Area legislators were contacted for their support and definitions in the FCC program were examined. The end result was that the program for the rural high speed internet from Centurylink and Windstream received widespread support from many areas. The end result was that the Federal Communications Commission concurred in the SOAR position.

The first President of SOAR was Mary Sheid, President of Physical Therapy Specialists in West Plains. The Honorable Joe Loyd, Presiding Commissioner of Reynolds County followed Mary Sheid as the second President of SOAR. The succeeding President of SOAR is Supt. Scott Dill of Houston, Mo. schools.

The Missouri allocation of $77.8 million per year is the largest amount for any state.

In a Centurylink news release dated 8/27, the Company said the construction is expected to begin in early 2016 and that this program will bring broadband to 158,000 rural households in Missouri.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: The H.M.S. Hillary finally hit the iceberg.

Many observers could see it a long way off but with so many friends in high places crewing her ship, it was probable to her that a hard left rudder would guide Mrs. Clinton, the future First Husband, and their wealthy and powerful donors past the danger and on to the Promised Land.

But the staff forgot to clean out the head - that would be a bathroom to us landlubbers. So as her ship sinks and her band bravely plays "The Ballad of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy," her paying clients are heading for the lifeboats faster than she can say, "It's Bush's fault!"

Yes, I speak of ServerGate. Some might prefer Bathroom ServerGate but that is an awful mouthful.

Mrs. Clinton's "private email sever" which stored US State Department business somehow allegedly migrated two years ago from one of her homes in Chappaqua, NY to a bathroom closet in a residential apartment building in Denver. Sitting there for two years? Who could possibly expect better security from our former Secretary of State?

So the drama ramps up. As a Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, or foreign millionaire/billionaire, do you continue to support

this designated Democrat nominee or do you jump ship and risk becoming a new entry on the Clintons' extensive "enemies list" which dates back into the last millennium? well, without control of the Executive Branch you cannot deploy the IRS, DOJ, FBI, NSA, EPA, etc. to harass and destroy your enemies. Ask various small businesses and Tea Party activists how that works. So Mrs. Clinton may find her sycophants not so in sync when it comes down to threats and rewards. Many of her hardcore supporters in various media will assert that "mishandling" a few unnecessarily classified documents (yawn) is such a trifle. Heck, anyone could forget to cross a "t" or dot an "i". But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Just below the surface you will find Guccifer (Romanian hacker), Sidney Blumenthal, Judicial Watch, Judge Sullivan, Platte River Networks, Representative Trey Gowdy, etc.. A little deeper look for Cheryl Mills (Clinton's chief of staff at State Dept.) Huma Abedin ("special assistant" to Clinton), deleted emails, scrubbed servers.

But why risk destroying what belonged to the US government? You have to go into murkier water - The Clinton Foundation, no inspector general allowed in the Clinton State Department, Bengazi, the disastrous Arab Spring Clinton helped direct, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Abedin, the Muslim Sisterhood, Saleha Abedin, Anthony Weiner, the neutering of former CIA Director General David Petraeus, and on and on.

Nothing to see here? That depends upon the FBI and the Department of Justice doing their job. If they drag this out like the IRS "investigation",

another President Clinton might be impeached. Not good for the Democrat Party.

The takeaway for the Clintons is that the lawlessness promoted by the Obama/ Holder regime may not be as complete as she hoped. Open border-check; immigration laws ignored-check; IRS harassment-check; police bad, criminals not so badcheck; flagrant disregard for national security just fine because my name is Obama or Clinton-hold that thought.

There is a sad but entertaining spectacle developing. First you will see the left media braying out Clinton excuses like a constipated donkey. Not pretty. Followed by "Shark Week" and lots of politicallycorrect blood in the water.

Then, just as you are tiring of the circular firing squad show put on by the Republican candidates, the clown care of Lefty wannabees will come rolling into town. Will you be able to resist the charm of Vice President Joe "My Crazy Uncle" Biden? Can you stomach the faux-populism of Senator Elizabeth "I'm Native American If It Gets Me This Job" Warren? How about Martin "Who?" O'Malley or Al "I invented the Internet" Gore? Some will no doubt enjoy the antics of Vermont's socialist Senator Bernie "The Government Can Manage Your Property" Sanders.

My personal favorite would be Governor of California Jerry "Come To Sanctuary Country" Brown. I think demanding voting privileges for "the undocumented" and incarcerated felons (the few that he has not already released upon the streets) is a peachy idea! Lord knows he will need their votes.

America, 2015. Enjoy.

Sincerely, Pat Johnson West Plains

WP enforcement officials were alerted to the situation when they received a call from Ozarks Medical Center on June 14, 2015 about a 14-year-old female subject who had overdosed and had disclosed information that she had been sexually assaulted by her mother's boyfriend.

The female victim explained to investigators that her mother's boyfriend, identified as Jose Ricardo

BT

to her as his "baby girl" throughout the letter. The letters indicated that they had a sexual relationship.

On September 2, 2015, Shannon County Deputies went to a residence in Birch Tree and spoke to the female victim and her mother about their concerns, explaining to the mother about the letters and letting the female

From Page One Servantes-Leon, had been sexually assaulting her whenever her mother left the house. She stated that she had tried to commit suicide since nobody believed her.

She purposefully overdosed on Tylenol and Nyquill and was taken to the ER by her mother where she disclosed the sexual assault to the children's division.

On July 27, 2015 Leon arrived at the West Plains Police Department

voluntarily for an interview.

He was provided Interpretive Spanish services as his request. He stated he has lived in the United States for 12 years and has spent a large portion of that in West Plains. He is presently engaged to be married to the victim's mother whom he has been in a relationship with for eight years. He resides with her and her two children, ages 12 and 14, at a trailer park in West Plains.

From Page One victim know that they have been receiving the letters as well. The following morning the mother of the victim called deputies and stated that her daughter had come forward and told her that they had indeed been having a sexual relationship. During an interview with the female victim in which the mother was present, she stated that she and

McKee had sexual intercourse numerous times at various dates and locations.

McKee is currently being held in the Shannon County Jail with bond set at $100,000.

Pledge now to focus on the road Statewide campaign educates on the dangers of distracted driving

Are you an advocate of driving distraction free? Do you park the phone and drive the vehicle?

Well, your pledge to drive distraction free could pay off big – with a brand new 2015 Ford Focus.

To help prevent distracted driving, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety has teamed up with KRCGTV and Joe Machen’s Ford to bring the problem into focus. From now until Nov. 6, the coalition is urging drivers to Focus on the Road as part of a promotion to win a 2015 Ford Focus donated

by KRCG and the Machen’s Dealership.

“Distracted driving is any activity that could divert a person’s attention away from the primary task of driving,” said Coalition Executive Committee Chair Bill Whitfield. “It’s also one of the leading factors in traffic crashes in Missouri and nationwide.”

Throughout the course of the campaign representatives of KRCG will be engaging high school and college students across the state in assemblies and campus

meetings to educate on the importance of driving distraction free.

Guest speakers from ThinkFirst Missouri will be sharing first hand experiences and the consequences of distracted driving. During these visits students will be encouraged to sign a pledge to drive distraction free, and place their name in the drawing for the Ford Focus.

“We try to educate people on the facts and give them some suggestions,” says KRCG’s marketing executive Brandon McElwain. “We want them to be aware of the dangers and help them stay focused behind the wheel.”

The text, the phone call, or the messy sandwich can wait until you get where you are going. If it’s really important pull over for a few minutes.

It could save your life.

If you’re not one of the lucky schools that will receive a personal visit, don’t worry – you can still make your pledge online at www.savemolives.com.

Understand the problem and be a part of the solution.

ARRIVE ALIVE.

(Section 301.010 RSMo.) The transferor of an interest in a motor vehicle or trailer must include the name of the transferor in the required notice to the Department of Revenue. The bill allows for the electronic signature of the transferor on the notice. A notice of sale is effective even though it contains minor errors that are not materially misleading. (Section 301.196 RSMo.) The bill allows the purchaser of a junk vehicle to apply for a junking certificate as well as the salvage certificate of title or certificate of ownership to the Department of Revenue, and the department director must issue a negotiable junking certificate to the purchaser that must authorize the holder to possess; transport; or, by assignment, transfer ownership in the parts, scrap, or junk. The department must only issue a junking certificate for any vehicle issued a junking certificate or similar document or classification pursuant to the laws of another state, regardless of whether the designation has been subsequently changed by law in any other state, and a salvage certificate of title or original certificate of title must not thereafter be issued for the vehicle. If the vehicle has not previously been designated as a junk vehicle, the applicant making the original junking certificate application must be allowed to rescind the application within 90 days. (Section 301.227 RSMo.) The bill removes the requirement that the sale of all 30-day temporary registration permits must be recorded on the dealer’s monthly sales report if

The time must be extended until the motorist goes three months without any violations.

Under current law, except for a first time DWI offense, alcoholrelated driving offenses require

a certain period of suspension before an individual is eligible for limited or restricted driving privileges. This act expands the list of offenses that allows an individual to receive limited driving privileges provided that he or she has an ignition interlock device installed. This act also removes the mandatory suspension period for alcoholrelated offenses but requires that an individual must have an ignition interlock device installed on his or her vehicle. This act also removes the requirement that DWI courts cannot grant limited driving privileges to a participant for the first 45 days of participation. This act authorizes the court to order a defendant to submit to continuous alcohol monitoring or verifiable breath alcohol testing performed a minimum of four times per day in any DWI, driving with an excessive blood alcohol content, boating while intoxicated, and boating with an excessive blood alcohol case.

Motor Vehicle Dealer Title Requirements (Used Motor Vehicles) - This act allows motor vehicle dealers to purchase or accept in trade any vehicle for which there has been issued a certificate of title or certificate of ownership. Once the vehicle has been delivered to the dealer, the prior owners’ insurable interest in such vehicle ceases. This act specifies that such dealers provide to the Department of Revenue a surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit in the amount not less than $100,000 in lieu of the $25,000 bond otherwise required for licensure as a motor vehicle dealer.

(Section 301.213 RSMo.) If a dealer receives a sale contract and power of attorney to sign for the seller, the dealer may sell a vehicle prior to receiving and assigning a certificate of ownership. In order to do so, they have to have prepared and delivered to the purchaser an application for title for the vehicle in the purchaser’s name, and have entered into a written agreement for the subsequent assignment and delivery of the certificate of ownership within 60 days after delivery of the motor vehicle to the purchaser. The agreement shall require the purchaser to provide to the dealer proof of financial responsibility and proof of insurance.

The dealer shall maintain a copy of the agreement, and shall deliver a form to the Department of Revenue showing that the purchaser has purchased the vehicle without contemporaneous delivery of the title. If these requirements are met, they will constitute evidence of ownership interest in the vehicle. (Section 301.213 RSMo.)

thr ee turnovers and a punt.

The Eagles finally got bac k on track late in the sec ond quarter, putting tog ether another long drive end ing with a Josh Pruett pas s to Bush for a 32-yard tou chdown strike with 47 seconds left in the half.

In the second half, the Bobcats began to slow down Lib erty’s passing attack, but the Eagles offensive lin e began to create more hol es for Rodriguez. After pic king up just 28 yards rus hing before halftime, the Eagles piled up 109 more in the third and fourth quarters, mos t of it coming from the junior running back.

Rod riguez finished the day with an impressive 90 yards on just 11 carries. For his part, Pruett finished the night com pleting 12 of 24 passes to four different receivers for a total of 192 yards, and two touchdowns.

It was the second tou chdown pass, which sea led the game, but like muc h of the evening, the Eag les had to deliver under pre ssure. Still clinging to a 1 0-point lead late in the thi rd quarter, Pruett rolled out on fourth and goal from the thirteen before throwing int o the middle of the field to Andrew Raider to make it 19-3 Eagles. A last-ditch eff ort by the Bobcats was stu ffed by big defensive pla ys, including a crushing sac k by Max Rudolph that

eff ectively ended the game and gave Liberty a 19-3 victory.

This Friday the Eagles are bac k home against another con ference opponent as the Ava Bears come to town. Ava los t big at Mountain Grove las t Friday, scoring only 14 poi nts against the Panthers.

The y’ll need a better game aga inst the Eagles defense, which looks to get healthier thi s week with the return of senior defensive tackle Willie Wilkins.

Tha yer found out firsthand just how stingy Liberty def ense has been this year.

The Bobcats started the gam e with a three-and-out, una ble to take advantage of gre at field position. Instead, Tha yer was forced to punt.

Lib erty started at their own 17 yard line and went to work. Picking up a bad sna p, Rodriguez rumbled for 10 yards on the first play of the game. Koel Orchard picked up 13 more on a pitch the next play, but a holding pen alty, the first of several, wip ed it out and moved the Eagles back.

Und eterred, Pruett rolled out on the next play and passed to Raider for 36 yards and a first down at the Bobcat 33 yard line. Three plays lat er, Pruett found Orchard for seven yards and a first dow n at the 22, and passed to Raider for 17 more yards to give the Eagles first and

goal from the five yard line.

Rod riguez punched it in on the next play.

Liberty’s next possession, how ever, lasted one play.

Aft er recovering a squib kic koff and getting the ball back, the Eagles momentum was drained almost imm ediately as Thayer’s Lan don Tyler sacked Pruett fro m the blind side, forcing a f umble that the Bobcats recovered. The Bobcats still cou ldn’t manage a firstdow n, however, and punted again.

Thayer’s initial first down wou ldn’t come until the sec ond quarter when Henry pic ked up eight yards on third and three. That gave the Bobcats a first at the Liberty 37 yard line. They drove closer, but a big hit by Cale Cor nman blew up a screen pla y on third down at the Eag les 11 yard line. Instead of going for it, the Bobcats suc cessfully kicked a field goa l to make the score 7-3 Eagles.

The field goal decision looked like a smart one after Tha yer intercepted Liberty on their next possession and drove the ball deep into Eagles’ territory again. This tim e however, a sack by Bro dyn Kenaga resulting in a n ine yard loss on fourth dow n, stopped the scoring threat.

It didn’t take them long to get another one, however.

The Liberty Lady Eagles Softball team is on a roll as thei r records stands at 3-2 and 2-0 for the SCA. Trav elling to Van Buren on T hursday, August 27 the Lady Eagles fell 0-15 in three innings. "They were an extremely good team," stated Head Coach Robert Brown.

Woolsey) tur nover, the Bobcats drove to the Eagles side of the fie ld, this time reaching th e four yard line. That’s where Liberty finally caught a break. On second and th ree, a Thayer fumble was re covered by Bush who pi cked it up and started to run. A hard tackle jarred the ball out of his arms and out of bounds, but the officials ru led Bush had possession before the ball was knocked out of bounds, and the Eagles took over on the 20 yard line.

Th is time the Eagles offense found some rhythm.

St arting at the 20 yard line,

Li berty marched 80 yards in 8 plays. A big run by Ro driguez up the middle an d three pass receptions to Bush, the last of which went fo r 32 yards and a score, made it 13-3 Liberty.

Th ayer had one chance early in the second half to tie th e game, but after getting in side the 20 yard line, th e Bobcats ran into Bush ag ain. This time Henry was intercepted by Bush who ran th e ball back into Thayer te rritory before getting dragged down.

Th e turnover gave the Ea gles the ball at the

The Eagles we nt for it, and a Pruett to Ra ider connection scored a final touchdown and effectively put the game out of reach. Liberty’s defense sh ut down the Bobcats on th eir next three possessions giving the Eagles their third, an d toughest, victory of the season. 19-3 Liberty.

Of course, this is the SCA. Th ere’s more tough games where that one came from.

Learn to control your diabetes with Fall courses, sessions on Sept. 15, Nov. 9 Adjusted Flu Vaccine Options Available to Seniors This Year Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about this year’s flu shot? Last year’s vaccine was ineffective at preventing the flu, especially among seniors. What options are available to me this year?

Seeking Protection Dear Seeking, You’re right. Last season’s flu shot was not very effective at preventing the flu. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people who got the shot were just 19 percent less likely to visit the doctor for flu than people who did not get the shot. In good years, flu shot effectiveness is in the 50 to 60 percent range.

The reason for the shot’s ineffectiveness last year was because the vaccine was mismatched to the circulating flu viruses, which can genetically shift from year-to-year.

This year, U.S. health officials have tweaked the flu vaccines to include last year’s missing strain, which will hopefully provide better protection. But a flu shot is still your best defense against the flu. So, depending on your health, age and personal preference, here are the flu vaccine options (you only need one of these) available to older adults this year.

Standard (trivalent) flu shot: This traditional flu shot has been around for more than 30 years and protects against three different strains of flu viruses. This year’s version protects against two A strains (H1N1 and H3N2), and one influenza B virus.

Quadrivalent flu shot: This vaccine, which was introduced two years ago, protects against four types of influenza – the same three strains as the standard flu shot, plus an additional new B-strain virus.

High-dose flu shot: Designed specifically for seniors, age 65 and older, this trivalent vaccine, called the Fluzone High-Dose, has four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. However, note that the high-dose option may also be more likely to cause side effects, including headache, muscle aches and fever.

FluBlok vaccine: Created for adults 18 and older who have egg allergies, this is a trivalent flu vaccine that does not use chicken eggs in its manufacturing process.

Intradermal flu shot: For those who don’t like needles, the intradermal flu shot uses a tiny 1/16-inch long microneedle to inject the vaccine just under the skin, rather than deeper in the muscle like standard flu shots. This trivalent vaccine, however, is recommended only to adults, ages 18 to 64.

To locate a vaccination site that offers these flu shots, visit vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code. You’ll also be happy to know that if you’re a Medicare beneficiary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the costs of any flu shot, as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays. Private health insurers are also required to cover standard flu shots, however, you’ll need to check with your provider to see if they cover the other vaccination options.

Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especially this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitalized with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it.

The CDC is now recommending that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations –Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at different times, work in different ways to provide maximum protection.

If you haven’t yet received any pneumococcal vaccine you should get the Prevnar 13 first, followed

by Pneumovax 23 six to 12 months later. But if you’ve already been vaccinated with Pneumovax 23, wait at least one year before getting the Prevnar 13.

Medicare Part B covers both shots, if they are taken at least 11 months apart.

OMC offers an effective way for smokers to overcome their tobacco addiction Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) and the American Lung Association will be offering the Freedom From Smoking program, a 8-week smoking cessation class for adults. Meetings will be held during the session beginning on Monday, September 21 from 10:00 to 12:00 p.m., in the OMC Parkway Center.

There is no cost for the program, but enrollment is required.

As America’s gold standard smoking cessation program for over 25 years, Freedom From Smoking helps participants create personalized plans to overcome their tobacco addiction.

With a recent new edition, the program is

based on the latest research on addiction and behavior change. It approaches the difficulties of quitting with a sensitive, supportive style.

Studies show that people who use the program are six times more likely to be smoke-free one year later than those who try to quit on their own.

According to Ruth Nabors, Pulmonary Rehab Coordinator at OMC, the program is especially helpful because it is taught by a trained facilitator who helps participants learn what triggers their smoking, when they are most likely to smoke, and the best way to approach the quitting process.

LPN-to-RN evening program begins Jan. 2016 Officials with the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree program at Missouri State University-West Plains will offer an evening program beginning this spring for area LPNs who wish to obtain their RN credentials.

Amy Ackerson, nursing program director, said this is the third year the university has offered an evening bridge program targeted to, but not limited to, working licensed practical nurses. All course and clinical rotations for the evening program will be offered after 5 p.m. or online, she added.

Those admitted to the new cohort will begin classes in January 2016. The program will take three semesters and one summer to prepare students to take the NCLEX-

RN exam. Ackerson noted the class will be limited in number to account for a smaller student-to-teacher ratio.

Area LPNs interested in the program may apply now through Oct. 15, 2015. This program is fully accredited by the Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).

Additional information about the program and application process can be found at wp.missouristate.edu/ nursing.

OMC to host men's only breakfast Sept. 24 Ozarks Medical Center is inspiring men to take control of their health and learn more about men’s health issues at a free breakfast from 7 to 8 a.m. Sept. 24 at the OMC Parkway Center.

The breakfast is free and open to men of all ages, but reservations are required and may be made by calling 417257-6793. Featured guest is Brian Pence, Director of the OMC Cancer Treatment Center, who will present and take questions on men’s health topics.

“This event will help raise awareness about men’s health issues. I will be speaking about current trends in the early detection, treatment and survivorship of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is often a slow growing process that until early detection methods such as PSA where discovered, men would have extensive disease at the time of diagnosis that was much harder to treat. The discussion will include a question and answer section that will allow the audience to interact as a group.”

Pence said.

Pence has more than 20 years of experience in oncology including 15 years as an administrator for community cancer centers.

Before coming to OMC, he was the Executive Director of Oncology-Hospice Services for St. Anthony’s Medical Center in St. Louis. Pence earned his Master of Science in Health Administration from the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois; A Bachelor of Science from Weber State University in Health Administration and

Radiation Therapy; and an Associate of Science from Boise State University in Idaho. He is certified in Radiation Therapy and Radiology. As director, Pence oversees the day-today operations of the OMC Cancer Treatment Center, located in the Shaw Medical Building at 1111 Kentucky Ave. The state-of-the-art facility provides medical and radiation oncology.

An estimated one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer occurs mainly in older men.

About 6 cases in 10 are diagnosed in men aged 65 or older, and it is rare before age 40. The average age at the time of diagnosis is about 66.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer.

About 1 man in 38 will die of prostate cancer. Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men.

Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it. In fact, more than 2.9 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.

The American Cancer Society estimates that 220,800 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and 27,540 men will die of the disease in 2015.

For more information or to register for the breakfast, call OMC Education Services at 417-257-6793.

MDC seeking public input on changes for smallmouth and rock bass Potential regulation changes will improve fishing and simplify length and daily limits Smallmouth bass and rock bass -- also called goggle eye -- are very popular with anglers on Missouri’s Ozark streams. However, research by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that both species grow slowly and that many do not reach a quality size before dying from natural causes or being caught by anglers.

As a result, many anglers surveyed by MDC have reported that fishing quality for rock bass has declined over the past decade. Many anglers also have responded that the minimum-length limits and daily limits for smallmouth on rivers and

creeks varies and can be complicated.

According to MDC fishing regulations, there is no existing statewide minimum length limit for rock bass, but some rivers and creeks in MDC Special Management Areas have an eight-inch minimum. Smallmouth bass have a statewide minimum length limit of 12 inches with a six-fish daily limit, while MDC Special Management Areas have a minimum length limit of 15 or 18 inches with a daily limit of one or two fish.

As a result of research and angler feedback, the Conservation Department is

proposing changes to fishing regulations for these two popular game fish that would help grow smallmouth and rock bass while simplifying regulations for smallmouth in MDC Special Management Areas.

For rock bass, MDC research shows that a majority of anglers favor a single, statewide minimum length limit. MDC is proposing setting it at seven inches.

For smallmouth bass, the proposed changes would maintain the current statewide length limit of 12-inches with a daily limit of six fish, but change all

Special Management Areas to a 15-inch minimum length limit with a daily limit of one smallmouth bass.

Proposed regulations would also create a new Special Management Area on the Current River and expand the Special Management Areas on the Big Piney, Big River, Jacks Fork, and Meramec rivers.

MDC is seeking public input on these potential regulations changes and will host a series of open houses around the state to provide more information, answer questions, and get public comments. The Department invites anglers and others to

stop by the following open houses between 6 and 8 p.m.: • Sept. 29 in Van Buren at The River Centre at The Landing, 110 E. Carter St.; • Oct. 1 in Blue Springs at the MDC Burr Oak Woods Nature Center, 1401 N.W. Park Road; • Oct. 5 in St. Robert at the St. Robert Community Center, 114 J.H. Williamson Drive; • Oct. 6 in Farmington at the Memorial United Methodist Church, 425 North St.; • Oct. 8 in Kirkwood at the MDC Powder Valley Nature Center, 11715 Cragwold Road;

• Oct. 13 in Springfield at the MDC Springfield Nature Center, 4601 S. Nature Center Way; • Oct. 15 in Neosho at the National Fish Hatchery, 520 Park St.; and • Oct. 19 in Columbia at the MDC Central Regional Office and Conservation Research Center, 3500 E. Gans Road.

MDC is also accepting public comments online at mdc.mo.gov/node/9092 or through U.S. mail to: Missouri Department of Conservation, Attn: Policy Coordination, PO Box 180, Jefferson City, MO 65102.

MDC offers cable restraint certification class in West Plains Cable restraint devices are effective tools for catching furbearers (primarily coyotes) during Missouri's trapping season. Their nonlethal design also provides a benefit to trappers in instances where nontarget species are caught accidentally and need to be released.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will hold a cable restraint trapping certification class 9 a.m.-noon Sept. 18 at MDC’s Ozark Regional Office in West Plains. The address is 551 Joe Jones Blvd.

This free course will cover the basics of safely and legally utilizing cable

restraint devices to capture furbearers.

Regulations, proper set locations and cable restraint design will be discussed. When used correctly, cable restraint devices can hold animals alive and allow trappers to release non-target animals unharmed. The devices can be used to take furbearers

during the state’s furbearer trapping season (Nov. 15Jan. 31). This seminar is a certification course for individuals planning to use cable restraint devices in the upcoming trapping season.

In order to use a cable restraint, Missouri’s wildlife regulations require that people must first successfully complete a cable restraint training course taught by a certified instructor.

Individuals interested in enrolling in the Sept. 18 class are asked to pre-register Waterfowl hunters have half for walk-in hunters who for the remaining spots, also by calling the MDC Ozark until Sept. 18 to apply draw on-site each morning known as the “poor line.”
