Long Term Care Ombudsman

Seeking Volunteers

Missouri has a total of 1,189 long-term care facilities, which includes skilled nursing, assisted living and residential care. These facilities are full of vulnerable Missouri citizens who often need someone to advocate, educate, and empower them.

Missouri's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program does just that.

The program is a network of volunteers serving residents to provide support and assistance with any complaints or problems that they may be facing in the facility in which they reside. Ombudsmen seek to reduce the sense of isolation some residents feel, especially those who do not have close family or friends. Ombudsmen can help the resident rediscover a sense of self determination and empower them to exercise their rights.

As the senior population grows at an unprecedented rate, so does the population in long term care facilities. As a result, the need for volunteer ombudsmen is growing. Last year the

Ombudsman Program received 6,260 complaints. Considering Missouri only has 202 volunteer ombudsmen, that's just not enough man power to fully address all of the resident's needs.

To be an ombudsman volunteer it's important to like working with older people, adults with disabilities or those who have mental health needs. Having good communication skills, listening and the ability to be objective is crucial. Being a volunteer ombudsman is also a time commitment, yet it provides a sense of community.

If you have a desire to give back to your community and are interested in becoming a volunteer ombudsman, you may reach out to Regional Ombudsman Robin Williams or Dawn Stephens at 660240-9400. For additional information, please refer to www.health.mo.gov/seniors/ombudsman.

P.E.O. Chapter AD Hears About Meetings of Early Years

P.E.O. Chapter AD met on Thursday, April 6 at 1 pm at Hodge Presbyterian Church. Prior to the business meeting, members enjoyed delicious chocolate pecan bars baked by hostess Marjorie Keuhn.

New member, Kassie Hodge, received her P.E.O. pin in a special ceremony. History committee member Connie Hoffman shared with members a few meeting notes from Chapter

Rotarians Hear About Medical Mission in Kenya

AD’s early years. She read handwritten notes written in beautiful cursive which revealed how frequently individual members shared their musical talents at meetings. Her report was an interesting and insightful glimpse into the past.

The next meeting of Chapter AD will be held on Thursday, May 4 at 1 pm at Hodge Presbyterian Church with Sarah Siebenborn to serve as hostess.

Betty Wimer Gives Program at Ward Circle Meeting April 4

Four members of the Ward Circle met at Washington Street for lunch on April 4th before the business meeting. President

Talma Joiner opened the meeting with a “Thought for Today” concerning the love shared between a person giving of themself and the person receiving the gift. The group repeated the CWF prayer in unison.

Betty Wimer gave the secretary/treasurer’s report. There was no report from service chair Barbara Crow.

Janice Stimpson, courtesy chair, reported sending get well cards to Lillee Dalrymple and Roger Hawkins. A sympathy card was sent to Lois Elaine Hawker on the passing of her son-in-law.

The group discussed special Easter services that were to be held, which included the church Maundy

Thursday service on April 6th at 6:00 pm, an ecumenical Good Friday Service held on Friday, April 7th at the Trenton Performing Arts Center and the Easter

Breakfast held April 9th at 9:00 am. Sunday School was not to be held and the Easter Service was to follow the breakfast.

Betty Wimer presented the lesson on the hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”. The lyrics were written by Joseph Scriven. It was originally a poem entitled “Pray Without Ceasing” that he sent to his mother when she was ill.

Charles Converse found the poem and composed the melody. Scriven claimed it was the collaboration of God and him. His life was plagued with tragedy with his own illness and drowning and the loss of two women he loved and planned to marry. He never wavered from his faith and the firm belief that Jesus was his friend in every circumstance.

The meeting closed with the CWF Benediction.

The May meeting will be at 11:30 a.m. at Washington Street. Janice Stimpson will conduct the devotional.

Dr. Kim Baxter, a retired optometrist from North Platte, NE, presented the program at the Thursday, April 6 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room. Michael Ormsby presided at the meeting. Jackie Soptic gave the prayer, Brian Upton was the sergeant at arms and Martha Goedert was the program chairman.

Dr. Baxter told members about his mission work in Kakamega County, Kenya, which has led to a partnership with Rotary to obtain funds through Rotary’s Global Grant program and allowing for improvements to an existing medical facility as well as obtaining new medical equipment. The first grant helped provide an incubator for neonatal care at the Kakamega County General Hospital. Since that time, the facility has been renovated with funds from the Kenyan governor while a $136,000 Global Grant allowed for the purchase of equipment and training of local medical personnel. A connection Dr. Baxter was able to make through a patient in North Platte led to representatives of John Hopkins helping with the training efforts. Dr. Baxter has traveled to Kenya many times with groups to provide medical assistance, with his specialty being eyecare. His son Craig, who was an optom-

etry student, accompanied his father on several of the trips as well. Craig passed away seven years ago and Dr. Baxter noted it was his son’s passion that continues to drive his efforts to provide medical care in the Kakamega region. A new clinic that is currently under construction is being named in his son’s memory – the Craig Memorial Rotary Clinic. When the clinic is completed, Dr. Baxter will be working with Rotary clubs to obtain another Global Grant to help with the purchase of medical equipment and establishment of an operating room within the facility. It is his hope to have teams of volunteer medical personnel rotate through the clinic to provide medical care for the persons being served at the clinic. He encouraged local members to think about being a part of the team, noting that there are areas other than medical where help is needed.

During the business meeting, members were reminded that April 13 is the deadline for donation of new shoes and/or cash contributions to the Shoes For Orphan Souls/Bright Futures Trenton shoes projects.

The program for the Thursday, April 13 meeting will be presented by NCMC Development Director Alicia Endicott, who will talk about the college’s capital campaign. Doug Tye will be the program chairman.

To the Great Constituents of District 2,

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”

-Dolly Parton

Spring is one of my favorite times of the year especially when the Tulips and Hyacinthus start to bloom. We had a great week in the House. My Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act Bill HB 712 was passed out of committee by a vote of 9-4. My bill bans red flag laws from being implemented by Missouri officers and bans Missouri from receiving federal dollars to enforce red flag laws. A red flag law is any gun control law, order, or measure that directs the temporary or permanent seizure of any firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition of an individual without the adjudication of a contested court case. At its core red flag laws have no due process and are used maliciously against law abiding gun owners.

I also had a hearing on my bill HB 224 which would make the Hawken Rifle the official state rifle. I had a lot of great witnesses that came from all over the state of Missouri to testify in support. The Hawken was created right here in Missouri and is one of the most superior muzzleloader rifles ever created. I think it would be a fantastic choice to be our state’s official rifle.

The House passed 28 bills over to the Senate this week.

Here are a few of those bills:

HB 519 would simplify the gas tax refund process so it coincides with the calendar year rather than the fiscal year, which would allow taxpayers to file their refund claim when they do their taxes. Another proponent of the bill would further simplify the refund process by requiring the Department of Revenue to develop a mobile application that would allow a tax refund claim to be submitted on a person’s phone.

HB 1263 “Protecting Missouri's Small Businesses Act” would help offset the economic damage done to businesses that are forced by government to shut down through no fault of their own. The bill provides that if any political subdivision with jurisdiction over a business implements any shutdown order and the business closes due to the shutdown order for at least 21 consecutive days or at least 45 cumulative days, the following requirements apply: (1) Waiving of any fee for a business license during the period of the shutdown order or six months, whichever is longer; and (2) Reducing the real and personal property tax liability of the business based on the number of days the business was shut down in a given year, as further explained in the bill.

HB 576 creates the offense of interference with

transportation of livestock. A person commits the offense if he or she knowingly stops, hinders, impedes, boards, or otherwise interferes with a motor vehicle transporting livestock; provokes or disturbs livestock confined in a motor vehicle; or puts a compound or substance on livestock that would affect the livestock's marketability, affect animal or human health, or result in an unreasonable transportation delay.

HB 986 prohibits Library Boards from overruling county planning commission plans. The bill also prevents real property owned by a board governing a library from being used for any purpose that violates any zoning ordinance or regulation as specified in the bill. I was able to get my amendment that adds maintenance and repair of library facilities to the list of acceptable uses of the Missouri State Library Networking Fund.

HB 906 modifies current statute by removing a goal of testing 75% of children who receive Medicaid for lead poi-

soning and instead requiring that every medical provider serving children must annually provide education to parents and guardians of children under age four regarding lead hazards to children.

HB 76 creates the “Career-Tech Certificate (CTC) Program” and the "CareerTech Certificate (CTC) Program Fund" beginning with the 2024-25 academic year. This program is for students that have met the GPA, attendance, and service requirements for the A+ Program and are eligible for reimbursement of tuition, books, and fees, and are attending an approved institution of postsecondary education, as defined in the bill, for an eligible program of study or specified training program.

To A Degree

There are many opportunities available for individuals to earn a college degree at North Central Missouri College. For some, it can start as early as high school. By participating in NCMC’s Dual Credit Program, a high school student can make substantial progress toward a college degree before finishing their senior year of high school.

The NCMC Dual Credit Program allows qualified high school students, typically juniors and seniors, to enroll in classes at the high school that earn both high school and college credit. Dual credit courses are taught by high school faculty and are designed to enrich rather than replace high school curriculum.

In the 2022-23 academic year, NCMC has 742 high school students taking 4,878 credit hours of college coursework. These students are from 49 different high schools within NCMC’s 17 county service region. A full-range of general education college courses are available as dual credit, including English, Speech, General Biology, American History, College Algebra, General Psychology, National Government, Microcomputer Applications, and many others. In some cases, technical and career courses are offered as dual credit, including Introduction to Agribusiness Systems and Accounting.

NCMC also offers Early College dual enrollment courses on campus, online, and at our Savannah Campus at a reduced tuition rate for high school students. This program provides area students the opportunity to enroll in additional courses that may not currently be available on-site at their high school. Many Early College students take advantage of getting a jump start on pre-requisites for one of NCMC’s many career degrees and certificate programs. There are also many high school students that enroll in online sections reserved only for high school students. Many general education courses are available in this format. For high school students interested in additional courses outside of general education, there are Python Programming, Introduction to Behavioral Health Support, Introduction to Criminal Justice, Foundations of Education in a Diverse Society, and others available.

Dual credit and Early College students can also take advantage of the useful resources and services provided by both the NCMC Library and the Tutoring Center on campus. These services also extend to online students. If a student has a reference question for the library, live chat, texting, email, and telephone support are available. The Library offers online access to research databases, a variety of ebooks, and MOBIUS (interlibrary loan) program. The Library Testing Center is also available for proctored tests of many kinds.

that are still being fed hay on pasture are starting to turn their noses up at hay and are trying to hunt the green that is starting to peek through.

Beef producers will soon be turning cows for good out and now is a good time to consider rotational grazing. I think many producers are

hesitant to implement rotational grazing because they think it has to involve large numbers of small grazing paddocks and daily rotation of cattle. While it is true that more paddocks and faster cattle movement does help with grazing efficiency, significant improvements can be made by simply cutting larger pastures into fourths and rotating every few days. When beef cows are allowed continuous access to a pasture the utilization of the forage is only going to be thirty percent. The opposite way to look at it is that in these continuously grazed systems, seventy percent of the forage is not utilized. Another ad-

vantage to rotational grazing is that the producer can get a really good look at the cattle as they are moved and the cattle themselves tend to gentle down, making them easier to handle when processing is necessary.

The table below illustrates the benefit of rotational grazing on the cost per cow during the grazing season. The table below assumes forage production per year of 6,000 pounds per acre and forage consumption for a 1,350 pound cow of 30 pounds per head per day. A 275 day grazing season would require 8,250 pounds of forage dry matter per cow.

During practice contests, this team took sixth place at the Brunswick Judging Day on March 3, third place at the NCMC Ag Club Contest held March 16, and third place at the Savannah FFA MOASK contest held March 20. On April 5, they competed at the Northwest District CDE Contest, where they once again took third place, and will compete at the Missouri State FFA CDE Contest on April 21 in Columbia.

The Forum challenges students’ character development by encouraging them to reflect on their own decision-making skills, values, and belief systems. Students learn about how to reconcile relationships, stand for truth, and love others as they love themselves. The Forum’s guiding principle is teaching students to embrace altruism rather than egotism.

The Forum kicked off with an inspirational message from Rebecca Welsh, Founder of Halo, a mission that provides housing, healing, and education to atrisk and homeless children. Students ended the day at the Capitol, touring the House Lounge and hearing from Bob Priddy, retired news director of Missourinet, visiting the Governor’s office for a meet and greet and message from Governor Mike Parson, and finally visiting the House Floor, led by Missouri State Senator Travis Fitzwater, and hearing from Rod Jetton, former Speaker of the House.

Miss Williamson said, “It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience, and I learned lots about being a servant leader. I also met a lot of great people and made

Twenty-six prospective students visited the North Central Missouri College Main Campus in Trenton, MO, on April 4th for the first-ever Pirate Preview Day. Pirate Preview Day allowed high school students to see what a day in the life of an NCMC student is like. During the day, prospective students toured the campus with Student Ambassadors, sat in on a class of their choice from Psychology, Criminal Justice, Education, Ag, or Biology, and ate in the Great Western Dining Hall. While students were in class, parents and guests participated in Pirate Parent Talk, where NCMC staff could answer financial aid and advising questions. NCMC staff that attended the event were also parents of recent and/or current NCMC students and could answer questions about NCMC from a parents' perspective.

"I am very pleased with how the first Pirate Preview Day went," said Amanda Sampsel, Enrollment Marketing Specialist. "With it being a brand-new event, I wasn't sure what to expect, but now I am excited to continue offering this event and allow prospective students to get a feel of what it's like to be a Pirate."

Big moves for bonds

for the stereotype of the “boring” bond market The $24.3 trillion market in U.S. Treasurys has swung massively since last month’s failure of Silicon Valley Bank. A closely watched measure of volatility recently hit its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis Not even during the 2020 COVID crash did the ICE BofAML MOVE index climb as high as it has the past month. Meanwhile volatility in the stock market remains below levels seen last autumn Government bond traders sent yields

plummeting as they rushed to bet the Federal

Reserve would have to ease up on its rate hikes

That reversed previous expectations for further

Fed hikes as inflation remains high. This volatility may have unnerved investors who’d hoped for bonds to offer the steadier, safer returns they’re reputed for. A recent drop in the MOVE index could be an encouraging signal for stocks. A spike in the index has typically been seen around major market bottoms for stocks, according to strategists at RBC Capital Markets
