MO Ethics Commission dismisses complaint filed against WP School District Super.

The Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC) announced on Monday, March 30, that the complaint filed against the West Plains School District Superintendent Dr. John Mulford has been dismissed. The complaint, filed by a member of the West Plains North High School Election committee on January 21, 2015, alleged the superintendent violated section 115.646 of the Missouri Revised Statutes by using public funds to oppose a ballot issue.

The complaint was filed after Dr. Mulford had provided the faculty and staff with informational documents during the faculty meeting portion of a teacher in-service in January. "The information I provided to our employees was factual in nature and in response to several questions I had received from our faculty and staff in regard to the impact that a second high school would have on our district and to the accuracy of the information that was being circulated about our district.

At no time did I oppose or encourage our employees to oppose the proposed ballot issue in the Richards District," stated Mulford. Mulford also noted, "During this meeting I actually discouraged our faculty and staff from getting involved in this ballot issue unless it was going to affect them personally as a resident of that district. I did, however, specifically ask them to take opportunities to correct misinformation about the West Plains School District anytime it arises, whether related to this ballot issue or any other time it might come up."

Following an investigation of the complaint, the Missouri Ethics Commission determined "no reasonable grounds exist to support a violation of Chapter 115, RSMo, and is dismissing the complaint." The Missouri Ethics Commission further explained that providing information at a meeting of school personnel of the West Plains School District did not advocate, support or oppose the ballot measure.

Jim Thompson, R-VII Board President, commented, "We are pleased with the decision of the MEC to dismiss the complaint against Dr. Mulford. On behalf of school board, we expect our superintendent and See WP on Page 2

Reflections from a Haiti mission trip

by Manda Stout Mountain View

How was your trip? Tell me everything! Start from the beginning ... spare no details, and I go blank. Because it wasn't all I had grown to love? Because it wasn't life altering, and re-definitive of my perspective? No, because I am searching for the words. I am not equal to the occasion, simply stated.

I tell people each trip I need to be slapped in the face with how blessed I am, each time I think I begin to understand, I don't. Thank God He still gives me the chance to learn.

This year the medical team I accompanied had 18 team members, (15 from Missouri and 3 from Florida).We treated 1,600 in three days,

1,600! Fundraising and your graciousness allowed us to fund 26 surgeries as well.

Our journey was littered with one obstacle after another, from delayed flights, the team being separated, to a normal one day trip taking three. The team I was with arrived Sunday evening wore out and travel logged, wondering if we were going to even have a chance to be effective ... I so quickly forget who is in charge.

Rod and Deb Wray, the missionaries, the family who I have simply grown to love had open arms waiting. The camp with its lure of peace, it's promise of hope, and it's vision for change was a sight for sore eyes. Instead of diving right into work, Rod suggested he open the gates

and let the children make use the stress of travel melt away of the water slide. This was and the beauty of purpose fill medicinal, excuse the pun.

I felt the group relax, I saw See Haiti on Page 2

our hearts. The children laughed and played in the water. They seemed like every other child you have ever seen playing in their shorts or undies in the backyard sprinkler. This is where your eyes always trick you ... we forget so easy.

These children walk from the nearby village most fiveyear-olds have charge over their younger sibling. They share huts with dirt floors with many other members of their family, several generations in a very small space. You can usually pick the little ones out that have sponsors from the states.

They have colored ribbons in their hair or the boys have dress shorts. Deb told us of a recent misfortune of an older man taking advantage of a very young girl, under the age of five. When they tried to intervene they were met with resistance. These things just happen they were told.

No service to call in Haiti ... part of their lives.

We had to begin packing for our medical clinics to be set up in the two slum areas Rod and Deb had decided had the greatest need. As we drive through the streets I am always overwhelmed by the need, I couldn't possible know where to begin.

Mission - Manda Stout is pictured above with a Haitian girl wearing a new dress stitched by volunteers in the United States.

Shooting According to an eye witness at the scene Jimmy Williams and Mandy Williams were arguing. Mandy asked the eye witness to give her a ride into town. Jimmy thought Mandy was going into town to see a guy. Reports indicate that Mandy then went into the bedroom to lie down. Jimmy allegedly went outside and started shooting a rifle. The eye witness said that he began to play video games with Jimmy and Mandy's children when Jimmy came back inside and went into the bedroom where

he "raised the pistol and shot Mandy". A Ruger .45 caliber black powder revolver was found under the bed and was covered in blood. It only had one chamber loaded and the primer on the cylinder had been spent. The case was found in the bedroom beside the bed. The couple had reportedly been "getting high on methamphetamine all evening". Officers found drug paraphernalia at the scene.

According to the Shannon County Sheriff's Office Mandy is currently hospitalized and

West Plains School District officials declined to comment regarding the member of the West Plains North High School Election Committee who filed the complaint.

The scabby treatments are always bitter sweet, little ones have to strip down and are sprayed with a solution that burns. We give them a small brown bag to put their clothes in that are contaminated and I cannot even begin to describe their expressions next. We pull out a dress or shorts with new ribbons, new buttons, clean and soft to their skin.

What was moments ago an embarrassing discomfort, turns to joyful expression.

This clothing was sewn with love and packed with prayer and it adorns them. As they leave they carry themselves with a new pride, a new joy.

Stitch away ladies, this is beauty.

As I look around I see people I care about, treating and being treated, I see dresses beautifully made with love, I see children playing in a well, drinking and splashing, that a Missouri team financed and placed.

writings before you know this is an area that the Wrays have chosen to help. This is the poorest of the poor, the police have abandoned the area as well, you enter at your own risk. The people are eager for help and wait in the hot sun for hours after they have walked farther than we ever would. This is also where the Sunday School program has been such an instrumental ministry.

Over 1,100 children 12 and younger come each Sunday for worship, for Bible stories and a bag of rice. The Wrays saw a need. These children were not allowed to go to church before this ministry because they were too

poor to even have clothing required to attend. Come as you are truly applies in Renault. The clinic was successful. We had our working intake with vitals, our providers to see each patient, lab for whatever test the doctors needed to further the treatment, dental, scabby treatment, vision for readers and pharmacy. We had two days in Renault, and one in Les Cayes. Here is where words fail again. I want to tell you of each encounter, each hand touched, each gaze held. For now a few stories will have to suffice. There was a toddler that came to us, her mother said she had been burned several days before.

She had a pink silk dress on, Haitians often wear their best clothes to clinics. Rod and Deb say it is out of respect to us. We lifted her dress up ... she had burns across her entire backside, from falling in a fire several days before.

They cook over a camp fire so this is a consistent danger.

Mama didn't have a way to clean it, a way to disinfect it, no store or money to buy what was needed. We began the task of removing the burnt flesh.

A man came in complaining of chest pain, Dr. Greg Miller wanted him to go get an X-ray, this sounds like a simple order.

This man had missed work to walk to the clinic, there was no money to pay a taxi (a mo-ped) to take him, or pay for the X-ray. This is where you come in. Because of the surgery money raised this year we could do this. He returned and I would love to tell you it was a false alarm.

He had TB with no lung on the left side and his heart was enormously enlarged,

"Sgt. Knobbe has shown outstanding police service and put others lives above his own in the performance of his duties. I cannot stress enough how proud I am of Sgt. Knobbe's performance to our community, and his outstanding

service to the Winona Police Department. Thank you Sgt. Knobbe for your dedication and selflessness," commended Chief of Police Alonzo Bradwell on Sgt. Knobbe's efforts that night.

Jimmy D. Williams, 53 of Winona was arrested on Wednesday, April 1 and taken to the Howell County Jail.

He is currently being held on charges of assault-1st degree and armed criminal action. He is being held without bond.

Those charges could change depending on the outcome of the victim's injuries.

The charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Good Samaritan Care Clinic holds Celebration of Caring banquet The Good Samaritan Care Clinic of Mtn. View held their annual Celebration of Caring banquet on Saturday, March 28 at the First Baptist Church.

The banquet is a fundraiser for the GSCC which helps community members who are without insurance or the funds for basic medical and dental needs.

The evening began with a silent auction, followed by dinner and entertainment before the guest speaker took the floor.

The guest speaker was Steven Donaldson who is the founder of the Convoy of Hope/Rural Compassion, a ministry to assist communities in addressing the needs of the forgotten poor in rural communitys and to break the cycles of spiritual and physical poverty. Donaldson has 20 years experience working with poverty issues, including working with over 30 countries worldwide to develop effective programs to meet the needs of the impoverished.

The GSCC began offering medical services to uninsured patients in February of 2004.

The clinic's first facility was a house loaned to them by Mercy-St. Francis Hospita.

During its first year, the clinic provided assistance in 510 medical visits. In 2006 the clinic relocated to a larger facility on U.S. Highway 60.

A grant awarded to the clinic from the Catherine's Legacy Fund of Sisters of Mercy of the Americas made it possible for the clinic to remodel the facility into a four exam room medical office with laboratory and dispensary.

(Photo: Standard/Burks) Additional funding from Community Foundation of the Ozarks provided the necessary capital to renovate the facility's attached garage into a two-chair dental office. In 2007 GSCC began offering dental extractions by appointment. In the spring of 2010, a 1,400 square foot addition was completed, partially underwritten by Missouri's Department of Economic Development

Neighborhood Assistance Program and funded by generous contributions from community businesses and professionals.

Approximately 125 active professional and lay volunteers donate numerous volunteer hours to the clinic along with the Board of Directors and Advisory Council. For more information about the GSCC call 417-934-6500.

saving antibiotics that my neighbors graciously bought and packed. I see the place to start. I see our footprint in the soil where we have made an impact, because we chose to step.

After clinics we had a day to walk through a nearby village, we decided it would be fun to just fill bags and load up with hats and walk.

We walked along the beach and the children soon spotted us. Naked and running they greeted us. This is always one of my favorite things.

This is Haiti, the ocean waves hitting the beach on one side your eyes see paradise, your lips taste the salty air and for a moment you see a postcard of a dream, then you walk into their lives. They are squatters having their homes washed away several times a year. They fish and grow crops by the river so this is also where they have learned to survive, so they stay.

Teams have poured concrete here to help the decrease of sickness, the children were falling ill and dying with worms. They are happy to see us and we are thrilled to share. We gave our hats and many dresses and shorts away as we walked. Our destination was the aids orphanage. The orphanage houses 12 boys and 12 girls.

They have been orphaned and rescued from the street.

Missouri teams have built the dorms and now they are getting a new school house.

They receive the life saving medications and schooling they need here and are prospering each year we visit. They always greet us with a kiss. When I am listing the moments in my life that made a mark here is time for pause. I have been kissed on the cheek by a dying child (life pause). They sing to us and tell us they pray for us everyday. I have said before if these children can find a song in their heart, I never have an excuse to not find one in my own. They teach me so much, and I have so much to learn. We give them gifts and say our farewells and we are on our way.

The ministries in Haiti continue to grow. I have said before if you feel led to give, give. Give here, give there, just give. There are needs all around. We are blessed to live in a country that we can help each other through things. That is not always the case. I often ask myself why I was born where there are resources available for me to make my life better, provide for my own, and so many were not. It is a responsibility we have with what we are given just by our birthplace alone. Thank you for those of you who have helped and those of you that will. Thank you for listening to my thoughts and words and allowing me a place to illustrate the experiences I have had so far. If you are interested in this particular mission, contact myself (mandastout@earthlink. net) or Dr. John Roberts (drjwrob@hotmail.com) or HarvestInternational.org click on The Wrays.

U.S. Congressman Jason Smith visits local brewery US Congressman Jason Smith (MO-8) toured Piney River Brewing Company in Bucyrus on Monday afternoon.

It was Smith’s first visit to a craft brewery in his district, but he expressed familiarity with Piney River’s products.

Brian and Joleen Durham, co-founders and brewery owners, guided the tour at the BARn, the 75-year old barn where the beer has been brewed since the brewery began in 2011. The BARn is located on the Durham’s 80acre farm in the South Central

Missouri Ozarks.

From the brewhouse through the canning line to the cooler storing cans and kegs of Piney River beer, the Durham’s explained brewing daily operations of the brewery from brewing to packaging to shipping to distributors.

Smith and his aides toured the concrete floor of the 12,000 square foot building under construction for a new brewhouse, packaging line and cold storage. The new production facility is slated for completion in the spring.

In 2014 Piney River produced almost 1,800 barrels of beer, and hit maximum capacity for their current facility. The new brewing facility will allow the brewery

to produce up to 9,000 barrels of beer at maximum capacity.

Piney River employs two brewers and five employees that assist with brewing, packaging and tap room operations. An additional fulltime brewer will begin at the brewery in May. “Right now, everything we make we are reinvesting back into the brewery,” Brian Durham told Smith.

The Durham’s asked Smith to consider co-sponsoring the Small Brewer Workforce Reinvestment and Expanding Workforce Act (Small BREW Act, HR 232), a recalibration of the beer excise tax.

Smith is in favor of reducing excise taxes for small brewers.

“The number of craft

Piney River - Brian Durham (left), Piney River head brewer and owner, shows packaged Piney River beer to US Representative Jason Smith. breweries are growing across Missouri and across the nation,” Durham said.

“The time has come help

these small breweries grow by reducing the excise taxes on what they produce.”

Attorney General Koster sues Oregon businesses for deceptive magazine and newspaper renewal solicitations to MO consumers Attorney General Chris Koster announced today a lawsuit filed in Jackson County Piney River - Brian Durham, Piney River head Circuit Court against Laura brewer and owner, shows US Representative Smith and Lovrien of Oregon, and her his aides where the new brewhouse will be placed in the companies, Liberty Publishers new facility.

Services and Orbital Publishing Group for using deceptive solicitations that encouraged Missouri consumers to renew subscriptions to magazines and newspapers at higher cost than they would have paid by renewing directly through the

publisher.

Lovrien’s companies, doing business as numerous entities, including Publishers Billing Association, Associated Publishers Network, and Allied Publishers Service, mailed solicitations designed to look like invoices directly from the magazine or newspaper publisher. The solicitations purported to offer the lowest available rate available to renew. However, according to

Rural Schools Deserve a Fair Shake This week, I met with school superintendents and county commissioners in south-central Missouri to give an update on the Secure Rural Schools funding program. Twenty-one of the 30 counties in our congressional district receive this federal funding which benefits many rural schools in our area, but authorization for this program expired at the end of Fiscal Year 2013. Without continuation of the Secure Rural Schools program, schools and counties face a 75 percent reduction in funding, amounting to nearly $2.5 million lost state-wide. Fortunately, at the end of March the House of Representatives passed reauthorization of this program through the end of Fiscal Year 2015.

The Secure Rural Schools program is critical to making Washington work for rural America instead of against it. Traditionally, when a tree was harvested on federal lands, schools in the same county received a portion of the timber sales. Since federal lands are tax-exempt, this helped compensate rural counties for the tax revenue the land would have brought in if it was privately owned.

Unfortunately, harvesting on federal lands has become more difficult because of restrictive regulations, and that means less timber is being sold. Timber sales are down by more than 90 percent in some areas. To make up the shortfall, the government has funded rural schools and counties directly through the Secure Rural Schools program.

I have been pushing for reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools program since I was first elected to Congress, and I am hopeful that after passing the House last month, the bill will be passed quickly in the Senate and sent over to the president for his signature. Once the president signs the bill, these areas can expect the payment of their remaining 75 percent of the funding within 45 days.

In addition to getting the Secure Rural Schools program reauthorized, I am pressing for an increase in the timber harvest on the Mark Twain National Forest and other federal lands. This combination will stimulate our economy, provide valuable new jobs in the timber industry, and provide more funding to school districts.

The simple truth is that rural America deserves better.

Our schools aren’t looking for a handout; they are looking for a hand up. Let’s get government regulators out of the way to grow timber sales, economic opportunity, and support programs like Secure Rural Schools. Then our rural communities can get a fair shake.

April 12th – 18th is National Library Week! Some Summersville residents haven’t toured our nearly 2-year old facility yet, so this will be a great time to stop in and “check out” your library.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation’s libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.

Be sure to stop in and see our postcard exhibit on display.

Some postcards date back to the early 1900’s and includes historical content on St. Louis and Jefferson City in addition to many others.

Summersville Friends of the Library meet at the library the 2nd Monday of each month @ 5:00 p.m. The next meeting will be held on April 13th. New members are invited to join the group in supporting and participating in the continuing growth of the Summersville Branch Library.

Koster, the rates offered were often significantly higher than the renewal rates offered by the periodical publishers. The lawsuit also asserts that by using the phrase “renewal,” the direct-mail advertisements falsely led some consumers to believe their subscriptions were close to expiration.

The Missouri Attorney General’s Office received approximately 70 complaints about these companies, and the Oregon Better Business Bureau received complaints from more than 30 Missourians.

“These solicitations deceived

Missouri consumers to believe they were being contacted by the actual publisher of their newspaper or magazine,” said Koster. “These misleading practices caused Missourians to pay more than necessary to renew their subscription.”

Koster’s lawsuit asks the court to order Lovrien and her companies to cease doing business in Missouri, and seeks consumer restitution and civil penalties. Missouri’s filing coincides with similar actions taken by the states of New York, Oregon, Texas, and Minnesota.

Rebecca Lynn Roberts Barnes, or Becky as everyone knew her, was born January 17, 1955 in Van Buren, MO to parents William Eugene Roberts Sr. and Betty June Tucker Roberts. She departed

this world at her home in Winona, MO on March 26, 2015, at the age of 60 years.

Becky grew up in Winona, MO but a large part of her childhood and some of her most special memories were spent on Rocky, around Rocky Creek area and the Current River. Her family used to play bluegrass and country music and would travel all over to perform. She talked of these days very fondly over the years and they were a big part of the person she became.

Becky attended Winona High School, graduating in 1973.

She met the love of her life, Jimmy Earl Barnes Sr., “Jim” while in high school and they were married May 19, 1972 in Winona, MO. To this union were born three children: Corinna Lenore, Jimmy Earl Jr., and Clinton Duane….who she affectionately called Cory, Jeb, and Clint.

She is survived by her

husband Jim Barnes and her children, Cory Barnes Fulk, Jeb Barnes, and Clinton Barnes. She had a son-in-law and three daughters-in-law, that she considered equal with her own children; they were just as special as the ones she gave birth to. So as she called it, Everrett Fulk was her other son. Brenda Barnes, Jonie Barnes, and Cayla Barnes were considered her true daughters as well. She is also survived by her mother June Roberts of Winona, MO, 4 sisters Glenda Burns and husband Roger of Mountain View, MO, Brenda Counts and husband Rex of Winona, MO, Betty Needels and husband Clifford of Winona, MO, and Beverly Roberts of Winona, MO.

She loved and spoiled these kids beyond measure. Her favorite title ever, was the one given by her grandchildren.

She was their one and only MeMa.

Becky spent many years working at Paramount Cap Factory in Winona, where she made many lifelong friends.

Many of her last years were spent as a homemaker and a MeMa to watch over whatever grandkid was deciding to hang out with her for the day.

Becky had a number of hobbies. She loved music, reading romance novels, and flea market shopping with her very special friend Velma Russell. Everyone that knew her will recall her fondness, perhaps borderline obsession with chocolate. She loved to have big family dinners to celebrate whatever she had the mind to celebrate. Everyone loved her cooking especially her homemade bread and turkey and dumplings.

Becky always had a smile for everyone; she lit up the room. She knew how to make everyone feel as if they were the only one in the room. No one went unnoticed or ignored while she was there. She was often the life of the party and had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh. She loved her friends and family dearly and will be missed beyond measure. This world will never be the same without her.

Liberty baseball wins one, loses one at home

by Brian Ingalls

Mountain View Standard News office@mvstandard.com

Liberty Eagles pitcher Dakota Millard picked up his first win of the season last Tuesday against Van Buren, but two days later the Eagles managed only three runs despite racking up 10 hits, as they fell to Dora and stayed .500 on the season.

The Eagles were home for two games last week and their bats came alive with a total of 19 hits, five of those coming from Cale Cornman who was two of four against Van Buren and three for three against Dora. Kole Orchard didn’t get a hit but scored three consecutive times against Van Buren. His base hits came against the Falcons when he put together three consecutive singles.

The results against Van Buren were good. As a team Liberty totaled eight hits against Van Buren, resulting in a 7-1 victory as the Eagles scored twice in the first inning and four more times in the second.

Millard got the win

after pitching six innings, striking out seven batters and giving up just four hits on the afternoon plus one earned run. Millard held the Bulldogs scoreless until the sixth inning, and pitched his way out of trouble after Van Buren’s Wilcoxon hit a double, and with two outs, Chilton drove him in with an RBI-single. That was all the Bulldogs could get against Millard, however, and Cornman finished the game off in relief in the seventh inning.

Thursday against Dora it was Cornman’s turn to take the mound and after four innings the Eagles led 2-1 and Cornman had struck out four and allowed just two hits. Defense was never a problem for Liberty in the game, even as the Falcons scored twice in the fifth inning to take a one-point lead and twice more in the seventh inning to extend their lead further.

“We just didn’t score enough runs,” remarked Eagles Head Coach Allen Hedden on Monday as he summarized the real problem

for Liberty. It wasn’t for lack of hitting. The Eagles had 10 hits in the game, but it was the timing of those hits.

They were spread out and isolated to just a few players so the runners that did reach base, often never came around to score. The Falcons also played good infield defense, turning two double plays in the early going to short-circuit any scoring attempts by Liberty. Despite good batting numbers from Cornman (3 for 3), and Orchard (3 for 4), the Eagles lost 5-3 after stranding nine runners on base.

After going 1-1 at home to stay 2-2 on the season, the Eagles were back on the road this week, heading to Bakersfield on Tuesday and Mountain Grove on Thursday, along with a make-up game against Winona scheduled for this week as well. Afterwards, Liberty comes home with two South Central Association games against Willow Springs on April 13, and the Ava Bears on April 16. If Liberty’s early results are any indication, they are

Escape the Pickle! Kole Orchard (1) managed to get out of this rundown and make it to third in the first inning of Liberty's 7-1 victory over Van Buren on March 31st.

Orchard, the lead off hitter for the Eagles, scored three consecutive times against the Bulldogs, and two days later against Dora, put together three consecutive base hits.

Safe! Cale Cornman (29) steals second base against Van Buren last Tuesday.

Cornman finished the afternoon with two stolen bases to go with two hits, including a triple. The Eagles rounded the bases for 6 runs in the first two innings and dominated at home over the Bulldogs. (Photo: Standard/Wagner) in the mix for the SCA and capable of playing with anyone.

Against Van Buren last Tuesday, the Eagles were flat-out dominant. Orchard reached base after getting hit by a pitch, and Cornman singled to give Liberty two base runners. Base hits by Dewick and Tharp gave Liberty a 2-0 start to the game.

After Millard retired the Bulldogs in the second inning with three straight strike-outs, it was Liberty’s turn again and the Eagles caught fire. Hedden and Orchard reached base with consecutive walks and Jansen Acklin drove in both players with a double.

Cornman followed that with a triple to drive in Acklin, and later stole home to make it 6-0 Eagles.

Liberty made it 7-0 in the fourth inning when Orchard led off with a single and Millard got a two-out base hit to bring him home. Van Burn got on the scoreboard

in the sixth inning, but it was too little too late as Liberty took a 7-1 victory.

It was much tougher two days later against the traditionally good Dora Falcons, but in the early going it appeared the Eagles could pull off the win. Cornman had held the Falcons to just one run in four innings, and Liberty led 2-1 after a double

by Rodriguez and base-hits from Heilig and Orchard.

Liberty got four more hits in the game, but couldn’t score as things began to go south in the fifth inning as lead-off hitter Hambleton singled and later scored along with the Falcons Center Fielder Kelley to give Dora a 3-2 lead.

Still leading 3-2 in the top of the seventh, Hambleton got another single to lead off the inning. Kelley followed with a base hit. Two more base hits from Dixon and Hoover, plus a sacrifice fly

by Smith gave Dora two runs and a 5-2 advantage.

With one last chance the

Eagles led off with a base hit from Cornman, who later scored when Dewick grounded to the shortstop. That was all Liberty could manage however as Rodriguez flied out to right field and the Falcons took home the 5-3 win.

STATS AGAINST VAN BUREN: Orchard 3runs; Acklin 1 of 4, double, 1run; Cornman 2 of 4, 2runs, triple, 2steals; Millard 2 of 3; Dewick 1 of 2, steal; Tharp 1 of 3; Heilig 1 of 3, steal; Hedden 1 of 1; PITCHING AGAINST VAN BUREN: Millard 6 innings, 7 strike-outs, 1 earned run; STATS AGAINST DORA: Orchard 2 of 4, 1steal; Acklin 1 of 4, 1steal; Cornman 3 of 3, 1run, 2steals; Millard 1 of 4, double; Dewick 1 of 4, 1steal; Rodriguez 1 of 3, 1run, double; Heilig 1 of 3, 1run; PITCHING AGAINST DORA: Cornman 7 innings, 5 strikeouts.

Almost Retired Dear Almost, There are actually two different kinds of Social Security claiming strategies that can provide retirees a big lump-sum benefit, but you need to be past full retirement age to be eligible, and there are financial drawbacks you need to be aware of too.

First, let’s review the basics. Remember that while workers can begin drawing their Social Security retirement benefits anytime between ages 62 and 70, full retirement age is currently 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954, but it rises in two-month increments to 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can find your full retirement age at ssa.gov/ pubs/ageincrease.htm.

At full retirement age, you are entitled to 100 percent of your benefits. If you claim earlier you’ll receive less, while if you delay you’ll get more – roughly 8 percent more for each year until age 70.

Lump Sum Options If you are past full retirement age, and have not yet filed for your benefits, the Social Security Administration offers a retroactive lump-sum payment that’s worth six months of benefits.

Here’s how it works. Let’s say you were planning to delay taking your Social Security benefits past age 66, but you changed your mind at 66 and six months. You could then claim a lump-sum payment equal to those six months of benefits. So, for instance, if your full retirement age benefit were $2,000, you would be entitled to a $12,000 lump sum payment.

If you decided at age 66 and four months that you wanted to file retroactively, you’d get only four months’ worth of benefits in your lump sum, because SSA rules prohibit you from claiming benefits that pre-date your full retirement age.

Another option that provides even more cash is the “file and suspend” strategy. Again, this option is only available to people on (or after) full retirement age.

Here’s how this strategy works. Let’s say you’re 66, and you decide to delay your benefits. You could file for your benefit and then immediately suspend it. This gives you the ability to collect a lump sum going back to the date you filed.

So if you need money at age 69 for example, and your full retirement age benefit was $2,000, you could get a three-year lump sum of $72,000.

Drawbacks The big downside to these strategies is that once you accept a lump-sum payment, you’ll lose all the delayed retirement credits you’ve accrued, and your future monthly retirement benefit will be reduced to reflect the amount you already received.

Here’s an example of how this works. Let’s say that you are entitled to a $2,480 monthly benefit at age 69. By taking a three-year lump sum payment, your future benefits will shrink back to $2,000 per month, which is what you would have received at your full retirement age. This also affects your future survivor benefit to your spouse or other eligible family members after you die.

You also need to consider Uncle Sam. Depending on your income, Social Security benefits may be taxable, and a lump-sum payment could boost the amount of benefits that are taxed. To help you calculate this, see IRS Publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits” at irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf, or call 800-8293676 and ask them to mail you a copy.

One other caveat: If you’re married and you “file and suspend” your Social Security benefit, you cannot file a “restricted application” too, which gives you the ability to collect spousal benefits while delaying your own retirement benefit past full retirement age.

Mercy St. Francis Hospital would like to encourage the year’s contestants to

continue with their “Life Style” change and invites them to weigh in every month throughout the summer. For more information, call Carol Schmidt at 417-934-7097.

Mercy presents 'Youth Mouth: A Window to Your Health' April 15 Even without uttering a single word, your mouth can say a lot about your health – especially if you’re diabetic.

According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes weakens your mouth’s germ-fighting powers and can cause gum disease; in turn, gum disease can make blood sugar levels even more difficult to control.

Diabetes can lead to many other mouth problems.

That’s why Mercy St. Francis Hospital has invited Matthew Mansfield, DDS, with Willow Springs Dental, to speak at the free seminar “Your Mouth: A Window to Your Health.” It’s the latest free seminar in the Setting

Goals for Healthy Living diabetic education series.

“Many people don’t know they have gum disease until it’s already done a lot of damage,” said Mansfield.

“If you have bleeding gums when you brush or floss, or they’re red and swollen, you may want to look further into the cause.”

The free seminar will outline the warning signs, answer frequently asked questions and demonstrate proper oral hygiene. It begins at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15, in the dining room of Mercy St. Francis Hospital at 100 W. US Highway 60.

Snacks and door prizes will be provided. For a ride, call (417) 934-1575.

MDC seeks public input for White River Trace CA The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wants to know what Missourians think about its nearly 1,000 conservation areas around the state. MDC is in the multiyear process of updating management plans for conservation areas and invites public comments.

A draft management plan for White River Trace Conservation Area is available from MDC for public review during April. To preview the draft plan and to provide comment, visit mdc. mo.gov/areaplans.

This 2,044-acre area in Dent County is about 80 percent open ground consisting mainly of native warm-season grasses and early successional plant types.

MDC management of the area has produced quality upland wildlife habitat, especially for quail and other grassland bird

species. The area provides a unique, recreational and wildlife viewing opportunity for this part of the state.

Statewide, MDC conservation areas cover almost one million public acres for the purpose of restoring and conserving forest, fish and wildlife resources, and for providing opportunities for all citizens to use, enjoy and learn about these resources.

Most Missourians are within a 30-minute drive of an MDC conservation area.

"Missourians care about conservation and use conservation areas for many different reasons," said MDC Director Bob Ziehmer. "These areas help people discover nature through various activities, and help make Missouri a great place to hunt, fish, and enjoy other outdoor

activities. We want to know how conservation areas are important to Missourians.

Encouraging public comments on Conservation Area Management Plans is part of MDC's ongoing efforts of working for and with Missourians to sustain healthy forests, fish and wildlife."

Conservation Area Management Plans focus on natural resource management and public use on conservation areas. The plans do not address regulations on hunting, fishing and other area uses, which are set by the Conservation Commission and enforced under the Wildlife Code of Missouri.

MDC will consider all ideas received and will work to balance the issues and interests identified with the responsibility of managing areas for the present and future benefits to forest, fish, wildlife, and people.

Decisions on which ideas to incorporate into area plans and on how to best incorporate them will be based on the property's purpose, its physical and biological conditions and capabilities, the best roles of the property in its local, regional and state-wide context, and on the professional expertise of MDC staff.
