Gov. Greitens announces new Director of Department of Natural Resources Governor Eric Greitens announced the newest member of his cabinet via FaceCarol Comer book and Twitter. Greitens announced that Carol Comer will head Missouri’s Department of Natural Resources, which is responsible for ensuring clean air, water, and natural spaces for the people of Missouri. In his video announcement, Governor Greitens said she would be “a champion both for our environment and our economy.” Watch that video here. Carol Comer served as the Commissioner of Indiana’s Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) under Vice President-elect Mike Pence. In that role, she led an agency with 850 employees, five functional offices (air, land, water, program support and legal counsel) and five locational offices (lab, northwest, north, southwest and south). Comer took the lead in making the IDEM work constructively with the business community. Under her leadership, IDEM significantly reduced the time between an application for a permit and its approval. IDEM became the best in the nation in its Title V air permitting and NPDES permitting times. A process that used to take 225% of the required time, went all the way down to 51% of the required time.This was a significant step for economic development in the state of Indiana. On her watch, Indiana was able to make sure that over 93% of the state’s residents live in areas that meet all air quality standards. Using federal grants and settlements with responsible parties, IDEM and its partners invested $200 million in restoring the Grand Calumet River and its ecosystem. The work done over the last two decades has led to fish and nesting birds returning to the area. Carol is passionate about the relationship between the environment and the economy and finding ways to protect health and safety while making sure the business community has what it needs to grow jobs. She is a graduate of the Ind iana University School of Business, with graduate degrees from the Indiana University School of Law and Indiana Univer sity School of Public and Environmental Affairs. She has served on the Board of Direc tors of God’s Bounty Food Pantry and The Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series.

MDC confirms female mountain lion in Shannon County since 1994. “Mountain lions are still rare in Missouri,” said MDC Wildlife Management Coordinator Alan Leary. “The detection of a female increases the likelihood that breeding could occur within the state, but at this point we don’t have evidence that a breeding population exists in Missouri.” In 1996, the Department established its Mountain Lion
Response Team (MLRT) with specially-trained staff to investigate reports and evidence of mountain lions. Since then, all mountain lion

Other amenities include home-cooked meals through the organization’s family dinner program, laundry facilities, transportation to hospitals and support from volunteers and staff who truly care.

President Trump paves the way for the Keystone XL Pipline President Donald Trump signed executive memos for TransCanada to construct the Keystone XL pipeline and for Energy Transfer Partners to build the final portion of the Dakota Access pipeline. Both of which are subject to terms and conditions to be negotiated by the United States. U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) released the following statement commending President Trump’s executive action paving the way for the Keystone XL pipeline: “I’m glad President Trump is wasting no time turning the page on eight years of the Obama admin-
istration’s failed energy policies,” Blunt said. “The Keystone XL pipeline will pump 800,000 barrels of oil a day to the United States, creating new American jobs and bolstering our energy security. This project has long had the backing of the majority of Americans. We finally have an administration that is putting their priorities ahead of a political agenda driven by far-left special interests. I’m encouraged by this first step toward an all-of-theabove energy policy, and I’ll continue backing energy projects that will create jobs and lower costs for families and small businesses in Missouri and across the nation.”

Olivia Rose Boutique & Formal opens in downtown Mtn. View
Owners Austin and Carla Pekarek
Ballet, clogging offered at MVFYC through the Stars Foundation
Ballet and clogging classes are currently being offered at the Mtn. View Family Youth Center by the Stars Foundation. The Stars Foundation was created by Founder and Executive Director Rebeca Peterson and offers students and immersion-style program. This helps students use their skills rather than just practice them. Based on theoretical methods, the students learn at their own pace. As time passes, one student will teach another what they
themselves have just mastered, continuing the cycle of learning. “You’re basically allowing the students to absorb what they are capable of, and as they learn it, they apply it, and then they teach it,” stated Peterson. Classes begin at 3:30 p.m. at the youth center. Students wishing to enroll may call the youth center at 417934-5437 for more information. The Mtn. View Family Youth Center is located at 306 Bay Street.
A child’s birthday is supposed to be marked with happiness and joy. However, it’s often a difficult time for children in foster care. They are away from their biological families, facing many additional challenges due to the abuse and neglect they have suffered. Birthday Blessings is a local non-profit that provides local foster and at-risk children with a duffle bag full of party supplies and gifts. In January they were able to expand their coverage area
to Douglas and Ozark Counties, now serving all of the 37th and 44th Circuit Children’s Divisions. According to Candi Johnsen, a director with the Christian organization, the kids in these counties have been on their heart to serve for a long time. The need is significant, as the poverty level in these counties is above 22%. This leaves few community resources to assist these kids. “We have seen God’s provision through the generosi-

The two-day annual event in downtown West Plains, Mo., celebrates the distinctive music and culture of the Ozarks Highlands. Admission to all festival events is free. Major changes include: - Dates moved to the first Friday/Saturday of June. - Festival times will be 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. both days - Headliners will perform outside on the Civic Center East Lawn both evenings - Food concessions will be centralized in a Food Court - Vendors will be juried to meet the mission of the Festival “The many suggestions we’ve received from participants and attendees helped with our decisions, so we’re hopeful these changes will prove beneficial to all,” organizers said. “We want this City of West Plains signature event to grow and prosper.” Moving to late afternoon
and evening hours should promote a more pleasant experience for all – performers, artisans, and attendees. Festival music performances will be held on both the Civic Center theater stage and the outside stage, with music scheduled for all times during the Festival hours. 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. schedule will be inside for Main Stage, outside for 2nd Stage performances; 6 and 8 p.m. headliner shows will be outside. Centralizing the food vendors will give attendees more opportunity to view all the selections in one area. All non-profit vendors will once again be accepted, but the Festival Committee will be evaluating other vendors as to authenticity toward the Festival’s purpose to highlight traditional arts. ARTISANS/DEMONSTRATORS - The festival has featured many different material art and craft genres throughout the years. Area artisans and demonstrators
who are keeping traditional crafts alive and would like to share their talents with festival goers are encouraged to contact coordinator Kathleen Morrissey at 417293-7751, email to info@ westplainsarts.org, or download a form from the website at http://www.oldtimemusic. org/?page_id=3205 VENDOR BOOTH SPACE AVAILABLE Organizers said they welcome booths from vendors, non-profit groups, businesses, school fund-raising efforts, churches, civic groups, public officials, and individuals; however, in the event of duplicate offerings, first consideration will be given to early registrants.

ty and kindness of people in the community, which has allowed us to provide for more children in surrounding counties,” Johnsen said. “We are very heartened to be able to work with these children.” “We have been so grateful the Birthday Blessings ministry has been able to expand. In years past, birthdays passed without much celebration. When a worker walks in with a duffle bag filled with goodies, the smile on the child’s face is so heartwarming.” said Trish Allchin, Children’s Services Specialist, 44th CD. “ Shana O’Mary, a children’s division investigator with the 37th CD agrees. In the two years she has worked at the division, she has witnessed the impact the birthday bags have made. Not only do the bags make the child feel special, they improve the relationship caseworkers have with the parents. “The parents were always excited to schedule the home visit with me the month knowing I was going to bring presents for their children, when sometimes they would avoid working with us,” O’Mary commented. “The families in the communities we serve would think
of Children’s Division as something negative in their life without Birthday Blessings. The organization helps make our relationships with the families we work with more positive.” The organization also assists with other needs. By providing duffle bags, fewer foster children have to transport their belongings in trash bags. Christmas bags filled with books offer reading materials and a warm blanket. Children are given backpacks for school when needed. “I saw two boys’ wishes come true of getting new backpacks for school. These boys were almost more excited about those than just the duffle bag because they did not have backpacks for school,” added O’Mary. “And, Birthday Blessings played a huge role when it came Christmas time. They made sure each child that was in foster care got a bag full of goodies for Christmas.” As a director, Johnsen recognizes the birthday bags will not fix the trauma these kids have been through. They are meant to give the kids an emotional and self-esteem boost. “We know what we do can
never replace having a loving family, but it can bring joy to a child’s heart that has been traumatized by adverse living conditions,” said Johnsen. “It also lets them know that they are recognized and truly are cared for and loved.” In 2016, Birthday Bless-
ings gave out more than 215 birthday duffle bags and 250 Christmas book bags. They are very excited to work with more children in 2017 and would appreciate donations. To get involved with the organization, visit www.birthday-blessings.org or call 417-372-5306.

From a Princess Tea in January to a Little House on the Prairie 150th birthday party for Laura Ingalls Wilder in February, the Summersville Library has many transformations planned for this year’s activities. Next upcoming activity for “kids” of all ages is our annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Birthday Party on Saturday, February 11 from 10 a.m.-noon. This year’s event is even more special because it marks the 150th year since the gifted author was born in a “Little House in the Big Woods of Wisconsin.” We’ll be making real butter and learning how our pioneers lived in addition to birthday party fare that day. Plan to join us! Winter brings the possibility of inclement weather, so if ice or heavy snow accumulation is involved, staff might not be able to make it in to work. Library branch closings will be announced on local radio stations, but patrons are advised to phone their branch before risking life and limb to only find the library closed. Contact info for our branch may be found @ the end of this column. New books to our branch this past week include The Cat Who Brought Down the House, mystery, Lilian Jackson Braun; Robert B. Parker’s Lullaby, Ace Atkins; Dearie: the Remarkable Life of Julia Child, biography, Bob Spitz; The Rebel, Christian fiction, Book 3 in Marta Perry’s Keepers of the Promise Series; XOM-B: Extinction … Evolved, CD audio book, Jeremy Robinson; Pretty Little Purses & Pouches, non-fiction; and Cider Beans, Wild Greens, and Dandelion Jelly: Recipes From Southern Appalachia, cookbooks, Joan E. Aller. The Books-For-Sale book cart is always packed with bargains, so come check it out. The Summersville Friends of the Library group still has SUMMERSVILLE LIBRARY ROCKS book bags for sale, too!

It is not every day that a Missourian gets to sit on the steps of the United States Capitol and witness firsthand a Presidential swearing in ceremony. Now, just over a week since the inauguration of our 45th President, Donald J Trump - we have seen his Presidency take more actions in seven days to improve the lives of south central and southeast Missourians than in the entire eight years of the Obama Presidency. As President Trump stated in his Inaugural speech “The time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action.” In early December, I outlined for then President – Elect Trump numerous different rules, regulations, agency guidance and memorandums which he could overturn on day one to have a drastic impact on the lives of Missourians. I wrote about rules promulgated as a result of President’s Obama’s failed government takeover of healthcare, regulations which would increase the cost of energy for Missourians, new rules impeding on a farmer’s ability to farm their land freely, recent federal agency memorandums incentivizing millions of illegal immigrants to enter our country, and guidance from agencies infringing on our second amendment rights. I was pleased to see that on day one, President Trump followed through on many of these same actions items and wasted no time getting to work for the American people. During his first hours at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, President Trump signed an executive order to start the process of unwinding former President Obama’s disastrous health care law. It was the first step towards creating a health care system that provides Americans with the quality health care they deserve, drives down price with competition, and allows folks to see the doctor of their choice free of government interference or mandates. During those first hours President Trump also put a hiring freeze and a regulatory freeze on the very federal agencies that have run amuck with thousands of unelected bureaucrats under the Obama Administration. On Monday, President Trump took action to defend the life of the unborn by restoring President Reagan’s Mexico City Policy which ensures that American taxpayers are not forced to foot the bill for abortions anywhere in the world. On his second day in office, President Trump put an end to agency bureaucracy and red tape which was delaying the advancement of the Keystone and Dakota Access pipeline projects which will help grow our economy, lower the costs of energy and create thousands of jobs in the process. On Wednesday President Trump signed an executive action to start the process of building a wall along our southern border and ordering those sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants to honor and up hold U.S. law or lose any federal funding. Gone are the days of having a President in power who promises things on the campaign trail, but never actually delivers on those promises. In the first seven days of his Presidency, Donald Trump has proven that he is a man of his word. The rapid pace we have seen in the first couple of days of Donald Trump’s Presidency isn’t going to slow down anytime soon. This week I met with President Trump in Philadelphia, the birthplace of our great nation, to develop a strategy on how we will work together to build on the tremendous actions he has taken this week to improve the lives of all Americans and return the power back to the people. Our end goal, our end result, is ultimately what President Trump said in his Inauguration speech -“Together, we will make America strong again, we will make America wealthy again, we will make America proud again, we will make America safe again, and yes together, we will make America Joe Lewis, DVM attended great again.” the Annual Missouri Veterinary Medical Association Convention.

Attorney General Josh Hawley Challenges Obama Administration Overtime Rules
Attorney General Josh Hawley today challenged rules issued by the Obama Administration that would force small businesses to treat whole new classes of employees as “overtime” workers. Hawley and the Attorney General’s Office filed an amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. “These regulations hurt workers, hurt small business, and hurt our Missouri economy,” Hawley said. “President Obama imposed them with no authorization under the law. I have said time and again that this Office will fight for Missouri’s workers, and that’s exactly what we are doing.” The case, Nevada et al. vs. Department of Labor, involves a challenge to regulations promulgated by the Department of Labor that illegally subject much of the nation’s white-collar workforce to minimum-wage and overtime standards, even though Congress specifically exempted those workers by statute. Missouri’s brief, joined by three other states, argues that the Department’s regulations run afoul of “longstanding clear-statement rules that the Supreme Court applies to safeguard constitutional values.” “I look forward to seeing President Trump roll back these illegal, last-minute regulations,” Hawley said. “Missouri is ready to fight in court to protect our workers and businesses.” The state of Missouri was joined by the states of Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming in filing the amicus brief.
Senate to Begin Confirmation Process
One of the responsibilities of the Missouri Senate is to confirm the gubernatorial appointments made when there is a transition in power or a vacancy in a department position. With the change in leadership we have been tasked with several new appointments to head state departments and I’m encouraged by the governor’s picks for these positions. Since the election of our new governor I’ve been impressed with the cabinet he has put together so far. I’m encouraged by our new leadership and our governor’s ability to attract the highest caliber talent to Missouri. After meeting with some of these appointees, I’ve learned they are here because they truly believe in the governor’s mission for our state and want to be an important part of it. It’s no secret that some of our state agencies have gone through some turbulent times over the past few years. The Department of Corrections alone has had to pay out $8 million to settle lawsuits. This is unacceptable. Our departments must adhere to the highest standards moving forward. Further, the Department of Natural Resources has been sitting on permits for five years without approval and holding on to applications for reasons unknown to the Legislature. The purchase of property in the 33rd Senate District and the quiet, last-minute purchases of parks before the previous governor’s departure raise questions about leadership and the management of that department. We need good strong leaders to head our state departments and I’m excited about the well qualified individuals the governor has given us to consider. I’ve had the privilege of meeting with the acting directors of Agriculture, Chris Chinn; Office of Administration, Sarah Steelman; Corrections, Anne Precythe; Natural Resources, Carol Comer; and, Director of Public Safety, Charles (Drew) Juden. Chris Chinn is a fifth-generation Missouri farmer and brings a wealth of experience to the Department of Agriculture. Chinn recognizes the importance of agriculture to the state of Missouri and she will fight for our farmers and ranchers. She knows that family farms are key to the state’s future, and she knows the hardships and challenges that farmers face each day. I look forward to confirming her appointment. Sarah Steelman also brings a wealth of knowledge to her position at the Office of Administration. Steelman holds a Masters of Arts in economics from the University of Missouri and has worked as an adjunct professor of economics at Lincoln University. A former state treasurer and state senator, Steelman brings high-level expertise to the office responsible for budgeting, hiring and purchasing within state government. I am confident she will lead the department in the best direction for the state of Missouri. Anne Precythe has been chosen to lead the Department of Corrections. Precythe comes to us from North Carolina where she served as director of community corrections. Under Precythe, North Carolina lowered its incarceration rate through parole reform and she has promised to end the corruption that was previously dominating the Missouri Department of Corrections. I have high hopes for Precythe and believe that our correctional institutions will be in good hands once she is formally confirmed. Carol Comer has been tapped to lead the Department of Natural Resources. Comer has an extensive background as an environmental lawyer and previously served as commissioner of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Under her leadership Indiana was able to make it easier for businesses to get permits and the state saw improved air quality and protection of wildlife and natural resources. And all of this took place while the state saw job growth. I look forward to seeing our natural resources flourish under her leadership. Rounding out the nominations is the acting Director of Public Safety, Drew Juden. Juden comes to the department after serving as director of the Sikeston Department of Public Safety for 15 years. Juden began his time with the department in 1978 and also served on the board of directors for the SEMO Major Case Squad and the SEMO Drug Task Force. He was named President of the Missouri Police Chiefs Association in December of 2014. Public safety is vitally important and I’m encouraged by the leadership shown by Juden in the past and what he will bring to the department. Confirmation hearings for these department heads will be taking place over the next few weeks and I encourage you to attend a hearing if you are able. 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.

Missouri fencing laws class Feb. 13 Missouri landowners and renters can learn about the state’s complex fencing and boundary laws at sessions offered by University of Missouri Extension. A new state law offers protection to responsible livestock owners. Under the law, which went into effect in October 2016, livestock owners would not be liable for damage caused by livestock unless found negligent in fencing practices, according to MU Extension agricultural business specialist Joe Koenen. Koenen teaches a class on fencing law from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Feb. 13. The sessions will take place at various sites throughout the state via Skype. MU Extension faculty will moderate the sessions at local sites. Another session will be offered March 7 at different locations. “This is one of MU Extension’s most popular sessions, so I suggest early registra-

Carson received a report from Salem Police Department alleging that on August of 2010 he had molested a 1-year-old girl. Carson received another report from the Salem Police Department alleging that on December of 2010 there had been sexual contact between Lindsey and a 4-year-old girl. Lindsey has not been convicted of the crimes as of now, but DFS had found a preponderance of evidence against him in the cases.

tion,” Koenen says. There is a $15 fee for the session and materials. Missouri’s fencing laws are complex, he says. “Missouri is unique because it has a general fence law and 19 counties have a local fence law.” It is important for property owners and renters to understand the unique standards of each, he says. Koenen and other MU specialists offer insight into fence maintenance for row crop and livestock owners, renters and small-acreage owners to understand their legal and financial responsibilities. The Skype sessions offer participants time for an interactive question-and-answer period. Contact Koenen at 660947-2705 or koenenj@missouri.edu to register or for more information.

His pattern is becoming more and more invasive.” At this time Lindsey has been charged with statutory
rape-1st degree and 2 counts of statutory sodomy-1st degree. He is currently being held at the Howell County Jail on a bond of $300,000. The charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Douglas County Sheriff's Department Report 2016 was a busy year for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. We answered 5,381 calls for service and booked 1,050 people into the Douglas County Jail with an average daily population of 25 inmates. We showed a slight increase in Assault related crimes, a significant increase regarding incidents in the jail mainly because the jail was full most of the year, we served more than double the search warrants from 2015, civil issues and exparte’s were down, burglaries were up slightly however stealing related calls were down, property damage was down by nearly half, ambulance and fire calls were up, and received drug information was up nearly 200 percent. One of the areas that have continually gone up is our received information. These types of phone calls are vital for us to continue to make a difference in this county. We also entered 966 active warrants into the MULES system during the year. Of the 1,050 people booked into the Douglas County Jail, about 50% were for felony offenses. We saw a big jump this year with 204 drug related arrest. This is a direct reflection of the focus we place on illegal drug use and distribution. There were 84 traffic related offenses, 22 violent crime arrest, 8 arrest related to sexual offenses, 22 child abuse arrest, 55 arrest for burglary and stealing, 37 weapon violations, 25 driving while intoxicated, 450 warrant arrest and the remainder being various non-violent crimes. We would like to thank the Citizens of Douglas County for their continued support of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, without you we could not effectively protect our community. Yet another drug arrest in Douglas County. A warrant was issued for Garry Jennings, 66 of Seymour, on January 17, 2017, for the following charges: felony class C-possession of controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana (methamphetamine); misdemeanor class A-unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.

insufficient evidence to determine the animal’s sex. Since 1994, MDC has recorded 68 confirmed mountain lion sightings in the state. On Jan. 21, MDC confirmed a male mountain lion was struck and killed by a vehicle on Interstate 70 in Warren County. Confirmations have become more common in recent years, likely due to a combination of factors, according to MDC Furbearer Biologist Laura Conlee. “We know the mountain lion population has grown in western states, and that could translate to more dispersing mountain lions making their way into Missouri, but we have also gotten better at finding them,” Conlee said. “As technology has advanced, we’ve seen an explosion in the numbers of game cameras across the

Missouri landscape. We’ve also established more efficient methods for reporting and investigating mountain lion sightings. These factors all likely play a role in the increased number of confirmed mountain lion sightings in our state.” The risk of a mountain lion attack in Missouri remains highly unlikely. No mountain lion attack on a human has ever been recorded in the state. People, livestock, and pets face a much greater risk from familiar dangers we encounter including automobiles, stray dogs, and lightning strikes. MDC has never stocked or released mountain lions in Missouri and has no plans to do so. However, the Department wants to learn more about these rare animals and encourages all citizens to report sightings, physical evidence, or other incidents so they can be investigated. Anyone with information about a mountain lion can file a report with the Mountain Lion Response Team at mountain.lion@mdc. mo.gov.

Liberty Eagles keep grinding out wins by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
A little sickness and backto-back games couldn’t stop the Liberty Eagles last week as the Eagles out-scored a feisty Wright County team 68-55 on Friday night, and put the Houston Tigers away 58-22 at Houston on Saturday night. A 15-point game from Brenton Bush led Liberty at Houston, while Josh Pruett led the Eagles against Wright County with 23-points and one emphatic slam dunk. Neither game had the drama of a tournament championship, but both games had their moments. “It was out of nowhere,” said Liberty Eagles Head Coach Yancey Walker when asked about the dunk by Josh Pruett in the third quarter of Friday night’s game against Wright County. For one half, the Warriors gave the Eagles some fits. Liberty fell behind early, coming back to take a 6-point lead at halftime. Wright County went on an-
other run to start the second half before Liberty took over the game. Along with Pruett’s slam dunk, the Eagles began to impose their will. “(Pruett had) been dunking a lot more in practice,” explained Walker, “I think he finally feels good, kind of getting his legs underneath him. He’s such a competitor…(He) had the opportunity and took advantage of it.” Pruett’s dunk was part of a 21-point outburst by the Eagles in the third quarter. Mathew Coatney added six of those, and so did Shalin Stout. Andrew Holden also contributed a basket and two free-throws as Liberty jumped ahead 47-29 by the time the fourth quarter arrived. Liberty still had a fight on their hands, however, as Wright County scored 26 fourth-quarter points. Liberty held them off for the victory, but the Eagles gave them plenty of respect. “Wright County is certainly a team that if you take lightly, can cause problems,” said Walker, “Early in the

game they were making shots and we weren’t closing out well enough, so at halftime it wasn’t that big of a difference…It was certainly a different style of game than we’d been playing. They’ve got quickness, they’ve got some good athleticism, but they just didn’t have quite the depth that we had.” The Warriors also didn’t have Liberty’s height, but they had plenty of speed and shot the ball well. Sid James led Wright County with 22 points. Ben Martin added 14 more, 10 of those coming in the fourth quarter. After just eight minutes, however, the Eagles knew the Warriors had come to play. Two old-fashioned three-point plays by Stout, and two baskets by Pruett tied the game 10-10 at the end of the first quarter. Wright County continued to play hard and create turnovers, but in the second quarter, they couldn’t stop Pruett. The senior point guard hit a couple of three-point shots, and two more baskets, accounting for 10 of Liberty’s 16 second quarter points. The Eagles took a 26-20 lead at halftime. For a brief moment in the third, Wright County made a comeback, but baskets from Coatney, Holden, Stout, and that slam dunk by Pruett catapulted Liberty into an 18-point lead. Stout had three baskets in the third, on his way to a 14-point night. Coatney, Holden, and Pruett combined to go seven out of eight from the free-throw line as well. Bush, Tyler Dewick, and Devin Hedden got in on the action in the fourth quarter, helping the Eagles keep the Warriors at bay, despite Wright County’s 26-points. Liberty had led by 18, and finished the game with a 13-point lead. It was a good victory not only because of the speed of the Warriors, but because
Liberty wasn’t just fighting another team. They were fighting another opponent and not everyone on the Eagles side was at full-strength. “The problem with that game was that we had four guys that play significant minutes, had all missed school that week with sickness,” Walker admitted, “So we were in a little bit of a pinch getting guys’ legs back. You know if they can’t breathe because their lungs are full…that makes it a little more difficult. We just didn’t have quite our same pizazz in the first half.” The same was true the next day against when Liberty hit the road to play the Houston Tigers. The game was never in doubt, but it was still a slow day at the office for the Eagles. After jumping out to a big 16-4 first quarter lead, Liberty only scored 10 in the second quarter, and just 58 for the game. A dominating win, but it could have been better. “The Houston game being the next day didn’t help with all the sickness,” said Walker, “Defensively, we were fine. We gave up way too many offensive rebounds to those guys. Other than that it was pretty good. We missed a lot of easy baskets. That point spread probably should have been further along but I think just the grind got us to be honest. We weren’t consistent with our inside shots, or our outside shots. We were in foul trouble early. There were just a lot different things. I think the credit really goes to the guys who stepped up and took advantage of their opportunities.” Bush was certainly one of those guys with 15 points on the night. Koel Orchard and Andrew Holden got all six of their points in the second half. After a nice first half, Stout finished with 11, while Pruett added nine, and Coatney was steady, scoring eight

China study away/internship program topic of Feb. 10 Friends of the Garnett Library meeting Missouri State University-West Plains’ study away/ internship program in China will be the topic of the Friends of the Garnett Library monthly luncheon meeting Friday, Feb. 10, on the Missouri State-West Plains campus. Dr. Dennis Lancaster, dean of academic affairs, said his presentation will focus on the program housed at Missouri State University’s branch campus at Liaoning Normal University (LNU) in Dalian, People’s Republic of China, as well as the educational cooperation project between the two universities.
“One of the hidden gems of educational opportunity at Missouri State-West Plains is the semester-long study away/internship program,” he said. “It offers students attending the West Plains or Mountain Grove campuses the chance to earn nine credits toward their associate’s degree while learning alongside classmates from China and many other countries. “In addition, for the four months during which they live on campus and attend classes, the student interns also work in the campus’ writing center as English tutors,” he added. “And, of
course, there’s the opportunity to travel and see some of China’s most famous sites, both ancient and modern, in addition to the day-to-day experiences of being in a different culture and government system.” The luncheon and meeting will take place from noon to 1 p.m. in rooms 104 and 105 on the lower level of the Lybyer Technology Center. Parking is available in the lot off Cass Avenue on the north side of the building. Cost of the meal is $10, payable at the door. Those wishing to eat should make a reservation by calling 417-255-7940 or emailing FriendsofGarnettLibrary@ MissouriState.edu by Tuesday, Feb. 7. For more information about Friends of the Garnett Library and how you can join, visit the organization’s website, http://wp.missouristate.edu/development/ friends.htm or call 417-2557940.
points. It was a grind it out type of win, but it never hurts when Bush nails a couple of three-point shots to start the game. Stout added an old-fashioned three-point play, plus two more baskets as the Eagles also shut down the Tigers defensively all day long. Houston’s best quarter was the second, when they scored only 10 points. For the entire varsity game, Houston made a total of five baskets. Five. The rest of the points came from the foul line. The grind-it-out wins were a good sign as the season gets down to crunch time. “We’ve got Salem coming up and league games. We’ve just got to keep getting better,” said Walker, “We’re getting into February here. You want to be playing your best basketball in February and March. There’s no reason for us not to expect to go out there and win those games. We’ve got to be able to focus, to
do little things. We’ve got to get better at our on-ball defense, a little bit better at our defensive rebounding. If we do those two things we’re going to be a pretty tough out.” LIBERTY STATS AGAINST WRIGHT COUNTY: Dewick 2pts, 2reb, 1assist; Coatney 14pts, 11reb, 3assists, 1steal, 1blk; Holden 8pts, 7reb, 2assists, 1blk, 2steals; Bush 4pts, 2reb, 1assist; Stout 14pts, 14reb, 5blks, 1steal; Hedden 3pts, 1reb, 1blk; Orchard 1reb; Pruett 23pts, 4reb, 3assists, 4steals; Kenaga 2reb; STATS AGAINST HOUSTON:Dewick 3pts, 2steals; Coatney 8pts, 3reb, 2assists, 1steal; Holden 6pts, 4reb, 1blk, 1steal; Bush 15pts, 1reb, 3assists, 3steals; Stout 11pts, 10reb, 2assists, 3blks; Hedden 1reb, 1blk, Orchard 6pts, 2reb, 3assists, 1blk, 4steals; Pruett 9pts, 5reb, 2assists, 5steals; Kenaga 1blk.
Five years changed a lot for Missouri basketball by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist
A lot can change in five years. This week, let’s take a brief walk down memory lane to illustrate that point. Missouri fans are sorely needing a reminder of happier times. As for this year’s squad, they lost twice again last week, at Mississippi State, an incomprehensible 30th straight road loss, and then a 63-53 home setback against South Carolina on Saturday, a game in which Missouri was an abominable 1-for-17 on three-point attempts. Russell Woods had a fine game, 18 points and 8 rebounds, but the offensive futility doomed Missouri (5-15, 0-8 in SEC play) to a 12th straight loss. So let’s look back. Five years ago this Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012, Missouri hosted Kansas for what remains the final Border War basketball game played in Columbia. Even as football gradually passed basketball as Tiger fans’ favorite sport during the Gary Pinkel years, the single coolest thing Missouri athletics did every year was the home basketball game with Kansas. Mizzou Arena was always full and loud as thunder for those games. Kansas was seemingly always fantastic and favored, but Missouri would give an incredible effort and often score upset wins. If it was possible, that last Kansas game at Mizzou Arena was even more electric, as both teams knew it was the final scheduled meeting in Columbia. Plus it was a Saturday night game at Mizzou Arena, always the building’s best look. I remember students lining up
outside on that gameday, and then breaking formation and stampeding toward the doors when the arena opened. Surprise pregame fireworks added a jolt of energy and left smoke hanging in the air above the court, giving a dreamlike quality to photos of the game. I can see it now. Kansas, which would play in the national title game that year, led by eight in the final minutes, but Marcus Denmon, a Kansas City native, poured in 9 points in rapid succession to propel Missouri to a 74-71 win before a delirious crowd. Now fast forward five years. Again on Feb. 4, a Saturday evening, Missouri hosts a game with a border “rival.” This time it’s Arkansas (5 p.m. on SEC Network), which is a fun program but nowhere near the intense rival Kansas was. Even with a decent Saturday crowd, Mizzou Arena will be at best half full. The Tigers haven’t sold out a home game in years. Missouri will likely tie the school record with a 13th straight loss at Florida on Thursday (6 p.m. on ESPN2), and then be trying to avoid breaking the school record for losses against Arkansas on Saturday. In five years, Missouri has gone from trading games with national runner up Kansas, a 30win season and frenzied home crowds to an SEC basketball schedule that doesn’t move the needle as much for most Tiger fans, getting stuck on five wins and eerily small crowds. The Border War phenomenon will probably never be replicated, but Tiger fans can at least hope for better days for the basketball program after a pretty swift fall.

Ozarks Medical Center Pulmonary Rehab makes a difference in every day lives How to Help Older Drivers Give Up the Car Keys Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend that can help me deal with my mom’s bad driving? At age 83, her driving abilities have declined, but I know she’s bound and determined to keep driving as long as she’s alive. Nervous Nelly Dear Nelly, There’s no doubt that giving up driving can be a tough step for many elderly seniors, as well as a difficult conversation for concerned family members. While there’s no one way to handle this sometimes touchy topic, there are a number of tips and resources that can help you evaluate and adjust your mom’s driving, and ease her out from behind the wheel when she can no longer drive safely. Assess Her Driving To get a clear picture of your mom’s driving abilities, your first step – if you haven’t already done so – is to take a ride with her and watch for problem areas. For example: Does she drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate or drift between lanes? Does she have difficulty seeing, backing up or changing lanes? Does she react slowly, get confused easily or make poor driving decisions? Also, has your mom had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on her vehicle? These, too, are red flags. For more assessment tips see SeniorDriverChecklist.info. If you need help with this, consider hiring a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate older drivers. This typically runs between $100 and $200. Visit AOTA. org/older-driver or ADED.net to locate a specialist in your area. Transitioning and Talking After your assessment, if you think it’s still safe for your mom to drive, see if she would be willing to take an older driver refresher course. These courses will show her how aging affects driving skills, and offers tips and adjustments to help ensure her safety. Taking a class may also earn your mom a discount on her auto insurance. To locate a class contact your local AAA (AAA.com) or AARP (AARP.org/drive, 888-227-7669). Most courses cost around $20 to $30 and can be taken online or in a classroom. If, however, your assessment shows that your mom really does need to stop driving, you need to have a talk with her, but don’t overdo it. If you begin with a dramatic outburst like “mom, you’re going to kill someone!” you’re likely to trigger resistance. Start by simply expressing your concern for her safety. For more tips on how to talk to your mom about this, the Hartford Financial Services Group and MIT AgeLab offers a variety of resources at TheHartford.com/lifetime – click on “Publications” on the menu bar, then on the “We Need To Talk” guidebook. Refuses To Quit If your mom refuses to quit, you have several options. One possible solution is to suggest a visit to her doctor who can give her a medical evaluation, and if warranted, “prescribe” that she stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family. If she still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles to see if they can help. Or, call in an attorney to discuss with your mom the potential financial and legal consequences of a crash or injury. If all else fails, you may just have to take away her keys. Alternative Transportation Once your mom stops driving she’s going to need other ways to get around, so help her create a list of names and phone numbers of family, friends and local transportation services that she can call on. To find out what transportation services are available in her area, contact the Rides in Sight (RidesInSight.org, 855607-4337) and the Eldercare Locator (800-677-1116), which will direct you to her area agency on aging for assistance. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

chair and I can do all the other things, too!” Kathy Patton is thankful that OMC offers the program in West Plains. “Having Pulmonary Rehab available in West Plains is so special as there are many patients that can’t make the trip to Springfield or another hospital,” said Kathy. “I am in phase 3. I’m not sure I would be getting around or breathing at all without the help I’ve received in the program.” Mary Jo Miller attributes the Pulmonary Rehab program to her feeling better as well. “I have been coming to OMC Pulmonary Rehab for some time now, and quite frankly, I might not be here if it weren’t for these three lovely ladies, Ruth, Becky and Claribel,” said Mary Jo. “Their professional abilities have taught me to be okay with my lung disease. These ladies are willing to share our concerns and have in-
stilled in me that it is okay to wear an oxygen cannula and tank.” “We as a group, patients and staff, have formed a sisterhood if you will. Pulmonary Rehab is a place that I am proud to be a part of,” said Mary Jo. Kathy agrees with Mary Jo and adds, “The physical part, of course is great. However, the enthusiasm and support shown by Ruth, Becky, and Claribel is what makes the program so special. The patients leave with lifted spirits. It is hard to be sad or down around Ruth. She is a very special person who truly cares about each patient.” For more information about how OMC’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program can help people suffering from chronic lung conditions learn to get more enjoyment out of life, call the OMC Pulmonary Rehabilitation Department at 417-257-5959.

Opportunity to be a concessionaire at Markham Springs Campground Mark Twain National Forest, Poplar Bluff Ranger District is looking for a private concessionaire to operate the Markham Springs Campground and Day Use Area. Markham Springs Recreation Area is located on the beautiful Black River in Williamsville, MO. “This is an opportunity to team up with private individuals or companies to provide quality recreation experiences for the public,” says District Ranger Jon Stansfield. Markham Springs is a scenic and historic recreation area. The site is covered by a dense forest of colorful trees, including ash, elm, maple and poplar. The Black River boasts bass, sunfish, walleye and catfish. The day use area has a two acre, 20 foot deep mill pond that dates back to the 1800s, several picnic sites, open fields. Access to the river makes it a popular site for boating, fishing, float
tubes and canoes; and short hiking trails provide views of the river, the pond, the springs and the uplands. Under the terms of the prospectus that will soon be available, the Forest Service is seeking proposals from potential concessionaires to operate and maintain Markham Springs Recreation Area. Selection will be based upon the technical merit of the proposals. Selected applicant(s) will be
authorized to collect camping and day use fees from recreationists and in return will maintain campsites and other facilities, including but not limited to maintenance and cleaning of toilets, trash collection, mowing, cleaning campsites and making minor improvements to keep the area safe for users. Concessionaires are encouraged to provide additional goods and services (such as firewood, water, and ice sales and ed-
ucational or interpretive programs) to the campers, as a way to increase their income and to better serve the campers. In return, they would pay the government a percentage of fees collected for their use of the land and facilities. People interested in being a Mark Twain National Forest concessionaire should contact Ed Sherman at 573996-2153 or at ejsherman@ fs.fed.us for more information.

Master Beekeeper Course in WP Feb. 11 University of Missouri Extension’s new Certified Master Beekeeper Program is coming to West Plains starting at 8 a.m., Feb. 11 at the Howell County Extension office, 1376 Bill Virdon Blvd., West Plains. The course costs $61 which includes a beekeeping book. Pre-paid registration is required, with a 10 per class minimum, by Feb. 7. Classes are taught by experienced local beekeepers. Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m. and the class ends at noon “Basic Beekeeping for Beginners” will focus on the principles of beekeeping. Those principles include the history of beekeeping, honeybee biology, plant and pollinator relationship, and essential equipment and requirements. “We are excited to bring the Master Beekeeper program in West Plains,” said Sarah Kenyon agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension. “This high-quality program will offer both classroom instruction and mentoring opportunities for participants.”
The Missouri Master Beekeeper certification program consists of six levels: Beginner Beekeeper, Apprentice Beekeeper, Journeyman Beekeeper, Junior Master Beekeeper, Master Trainer, and Master Beekeeper. By the end of this first course, individuals will be able to help experienced beekeepers in the management of hives. Individuals must have one year of experience rearing bees and join a local beekeeping club before taking an exam to move up to the next level. Beekeepers can test through the first two levels of the program if they have three or more years of experience. The “Basic Beekeeping for Beginners” class is for any individual interested in learning beekeeping. There is no minimum age for the program, but children 12 and younger may find examination questions difficult. In Howell County, Level One testing is available twice a year in spring and fall. The exam dates will be announced on extension. missouri.edu.
Missouri’s 2016-2017 deer-hunting season ended Jan. 15 with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reporting a preliminary total harvest of 263,832 deer. Top counties for the overall season were Franklin with 5,272 deer harvested, Howell with 5,242, and Texas with 4,608. Hunters harvested 273,249 deer during the 2015-2016 deer hunting seasons. Deer hunting ended with the close of the archery season. Preliminary data from MDC showed that hunters checked 47,550 deer during the archery season. Top counties for the archery
season were Jefferson with 1,118 deer harvested, Wayne with 980, and St. Louis with 979. Archery hunters checked 49,759 deer the previous year. Fall archery turkey hunting also ended Jan. 15. Preliminary data from MDC showed 2,304 turkeys harvested. Top counties for the fall archery turkey season were St. Clair with 57 birds harvested, Franklin with 51, and Greene with 50. For the previous year, hunters harvested 3,042 turkeys. The past season was the first in which MDC began allowing crossbows as a legal method during the deer
networks, and develop a collaborative project to benefit a community or organization. Leadership Online For Today includes 11 sessions. Each session will have a specific focus and be accessed online. The first cohort begins Monday, Feb. 6. Strengths of the curriculum include convenience and flexibility to help meet the scheduling and learning needs of millennials. Although this class is online, participants build trust and develop a sense of community with other participants and the leadership coach as they interact online. Experienced leadership coaches will guide the learning in each class by posing questions and helping members make progress toward goals. The leadership coach for the class starting Feb. 6 will be David Burton, civic communication specialist with University of Missouri Extension. The program targets the millennial generation but anyone is able to apply for the program. Registration information is online at http:// extension.missouri.edu/leadership/home.aspx. There is a $225 registration fee and, once the program is completed, participants will receive a certificate of completion and 1.1 continuing education units.

In addition, the Department was notified of one tree-stand fall, which was not fatal. Conservation makes Missouri a great place to hunt deer and turkey.

day has been designed with flexibility in mind for both participants and leadership coaches.” The program was created by Mott; Johanna Reed-Adams, community leadership development state specialist with MU Extension; Connie Mefford, a community development specialist with MU
Extension; and Georgia Stuart-Simmons, interim project manager with MU Extension. Reed-Adams said the program has been in development for 18 months. MU faculty brainstormed leadership topics and those topics were taken to millennials for feedback and suggestions. Extension leaders
talked with focus groups comprised of students, Missouri 4-H members, Missouri FFA members and young professionals - all of who were in leadership positions. Participants will have the ability to work at their convenience within the week’s timeframe.
