The Liberty Lady Eagles have claimed their second district title in LHS history and what a game. Not only did they win the district championship game but it was a shut-out as the Lady Eagles defeated LoganRogersville 4-0.

The road to districts began in Monett on Tuesday, May 19 as the Lady Eagles took on the host team, the Monett Lady Cubs. Soundly defeating Monett 10-2 the Lady Eagles turned their eyes towards Logan-Rogersville who defeated Aurora 1-0 to move on.

Travelling back to Monett on Thursday, the Lady Eagles were determined to end the season with a district title. Having met Logan-Rogersville earlier in the season both teams were eager for the win. LoganRogersville wanted revenge as Liberty had defeated them 5-1, however the Lady Eagles thirst for that district title led them to a 4-0 shutout.

In the first half of the game the Lady Eagles came out fast scoring in the first 13 minutes of the game. The goal came off a pass from Henry to Kailyn Daniels who drove it in. Following the first goal seven minutes later, Jessica Mantel took a corner kick which hooked into the goal box, bounced off a few desperate Lady Wildcats and went in. For a moment the play was still in motion as the Lady Wildcats keeper had hands on the ball See Soccer on Page 9

Rock Garden Camp celebrates 75 years In 1940, a group of men and women gathered to discuss the need for a Christian youth camp, and from that meeting Rock Garden Christian Service Camp was established. The first camp was held in July of that year on a rocky hillside at West Eminence, MO. In 1995, the South Central Missouri Christian Men's Fellowship agreed to lease their property located at

4105 State Highway 17 south of Mtn. View to the camp board and the camp was relocated to the former Cookson Hills Children's Home facility. After an ambitious building program to install a swimming pool, build a gymnasium, kitchen and remodel the existing buildings into dormitories, Rock Garden Camp opened for business at the new location for summer camp in

1996.

On May 30, 2015 the camp will be hosting a 75th Anniversary Celebration.

This will be an event for all ages. Join us for an afternoon of food, fun activities and entertainment for the entire family. The pool will be open during the celebration and featured entertainment will be the Preachers Quartet and the Christian Valley Band. The festivities will

commence at 1 p.m. With a period for visiting and touring the campground and facilities, followed by a program at 3 p.m. Dinner will be provided at 5 p.m.

Everyone is welcome to join us as we make more memories at Rock Garden Christian Camp. For further information contact the camp at 417-277-5621, visit the website at rockgardencamp. com or visit us on Facebook.

Kander awards Racing to Read grant to Willow Springs Public Library Secretary of State Jason Kander today announced that Willow Springs Public Library received a grant in the amount of $1,500 to

establish or expand existing early literacy programming.

“This grant will help Willow Springs Public Library bolster early literacy

programming that makes sure children are ready to read by the time they begin school,” Kander said. “I’m proud my office is again able to increase

learning opportunities and resources that help make Missouri’s libraries some of the best in the nation.”

The secretary of state’s literacy and educational enrichment grants are funded by the Library Services and Technology Act through the

U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, which is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute’s mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information

and ideas.

In the 2015 fiscal year, the Missouri State Library, a division of Kander’s office, has approved a total of 178 grant applications, distributing $1,111,720 in federal awards to libraries throughout Missouri.

Howell County Special Olympics needs your help May Yard, Bed of the Month

Imagine waking up in the morning and only seeing your world in black and white, knowing and realizing everyone around you is living in a world filled with color.

Imagine looking at classmates and co-workers watching them move and create in a way that seems miles away from who you are. Imagine being asked to define what your day will bring, knowing that it will be consumed by the routine of yesterday and the day before.

Now imagine a light of hope being presented that will help you to see colors, that will provide you the ability to move and create, that will give you the chance to make a distinction in your day. This is what Special Olympics does for those individuals with disabilities, both mental and physical.

This is not to say that an individual with disabilities lives in a world without love or laughter or affection. But the lingering knowledge

that these individuals most treasured desire is to be like their peers is always apparent.

The knowledge that we can never provide these individuals with that acceptance is one that aches in our hearts daily.

Special Olympics fills that void. It give these individuals the opportunity to excel at things they have long watched happen for others. It provides that sense of accomplishment with a gold, silver, or bronze medal they can carry with them to show they are good at something. It empowers them to cheer for their teammates, as well as opponents, to make it to the finish line giving it all they have to complete a run.

These athletes practice weekly training for the chance to make it to the State events. Their hard work and excitement is nothing less than infectious to witness. Coaches, parents and volunteers cheer with enthusiasm at watching these teams attain their goals, snapping pictures to remember

the smiles that boarder on nothing less than little miracles.

The three yearly State events are not just made up of finish lines and medals, they also provide these individuals with social activities that they all lack in their everyday life. The absence of being invited to a movie with friends, looking forward to a night out dancing, or a reason to get dressed up looking pretty is washed away with an evening packed with music, dancing, games, and feeling accepted.

We, as coaches, parents, and volunteers ask for your help. We are in desperate need of financial aid to continue participating in these State events. While we have the support of some local businesses, our number of athletes has increased leaving a gap in our budget that endangers some of not having the opportunity to participate.

Although the athletes do contribute to the cost of entry their budgets are very limited.

Any amount would be very much appreciated. The smallest of gifts will bring the biggest of smiles. The total amount of all donations will go to the athletes in the form of registration fees, uniforms, and sports equipment for these events. To make a donation, or to sponsor a fundraiser please contact: Jerri Miller (417)247-2192, Kenya Cook (417)274-2418, Sara Stout (417)274-9544, Becky Barnett (417)293-7602 or Ariane Brooks (417) 252-1210.

The Mtn. View Garden Club selected

To help ensure summer travels are as carefree as possible, the Missouri Department of Transportation has developed a list of significant work zones to be on the lookout for this summer. Although the state construction budget is less than half of what it was five years ago, drivers will still encounter nine separate work zones on Interstate 70 for resurfacing and bridge repairs across the state. Lane restrictions are also expected on several other interstates including I-29, I-44, I-270 and I-55. The majority of the construction work is for pavement and bridge repairs.

Motorists should pay attention to all signing, follow the posted speed limits, and merge every other car where lanes are closed.

Always wear safety belts and be alert for slowed traffic, narrowed lanes or a reduced number of lanes. Many of these work zones may cause congestion and traffic delays especially during peak travel times.

“Driver inattention was the second highest cause of work zone crashes in 2014.

Driving too closely was number one,” said Roberta Broeker, MoDOT’s interim director. “The average text takes five seconds to read.

Traveling at 55 mph, you will travel more than the length of a football field— blindfolded. If you aren’t paying attention to the road, you will come up on a closed lane very quickly.”

While most work zones will not be active over the Memorial Day weekend, it may be necessary for lane

closures to remain in place.

Most routine work zones will stop at noon Friday, May 22 and will resume at 9 a.m.

Tuesday, May 26.

The list provides information on how the major interstate work zones will affect travel and for how long. Information on all MoDOT work zones statewide is available up to a week in advance on the department’s Traveler Information Map located at www.modot.org. The map is available as a free app available for iPhone and Android phones. Motorists can also call MoDOT’s 24/7 customer service toll free at 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (2756636).

I-70 Major Work Zones for 2015 Western Missouri 1.

Construction to replace I-70 bridges over Manchester Trafficway near I-435 in Kansas City will include occasional non-peak lane closures through the end of the year.

2. Bridge deck replacement on I-70 bridges over Sni-ABar Creek at mile marker 24 in Grain Valley will reduce I-70 to one lane in each direction beginning in June for 30 days.

3. Bridge deck replacement on I-70 Blackwater River bridges at mile marker 77 in Saline County will reduce I-70 to one lane in each direction until early fall.

Lanes will be closed at night for resurfacing I-70 from the Blackwater River bridges east to the Cooper County line from September until November.

the May Yard of the Month and Bed of the Month. The Yard of the Month was awarded to May Belle Hoff at Caitlin Drive in Mtn. View.

The yard was selected for the beautiful deep purple Clematis growing up a rellis between two columns as well as the lowgrowing lavender Phlox that bordered a flowerbed.

There were several shrubs that bordered the house and rose bushes. A little wren took the "Welcome" sign literally and built her nest in the door wreath, sitting on her eggs. The yard had young trees and a fallen tree limb that was turned into a planter holding Petunias. If you would like to nominate a friend, a neighbor or yourself for this monthly award, please leave a message at 417-934-2662.

The Community Bed of the Month was awarded to Bed #13 owned by Carolyn Navarre. She as peas, beets, onions, garlic, kale, cabbage and broccoli growing in her well-maintained garden bed.

narrowed lanes through the work zone, with at least one lane open to traffic.

- I-44 at Route N/T (mile marker 67) in Greene County in southwest Missouri will be reduced to one lane in each direction at times for bridge construction. The work to build the new bridge over I-44 will be complete by mid-August.

Work is scheduled to start with one eastbound lane of I-44 closed at a time. After the eastbound work is completed, one lane will be closed at a time for the westbound bridge. Work is scheduled to be complete by late summer.

- I-270 at New Florissant (Route AC) & New Halls Ferry (Route AC) in North St. Louis County will have three lanes of westbound traffic shifted onto the eastbound bridge for preventative bridge maintenance work. Two lanes of eastbound traffic will be diverted down the exit ramps and back onto the entrance ramps around these bridges for approximately 30 days in mid-summer.

- I-55 in Pemiscot County in southeast Missouri will be shifted with one lane in each direction for pavement repair work. The traffic will be running head-to-head on the southbound I-55 side of the highway from Route U to Route 84, south of Hayti.

Lane closures began May 20 and will continue until October.

- I-55 in Pemiscot County in southeast Missouri will be reduced to one lane in each direction in coordination with the Arkansas Department of Transportation’s pavement replacement project near the Missouri state line. Work began May 18 and lane closures will last throughout the summer.

Supreme Court of Missouri forms working group to study, make recommendations for improving state's municipal court division The Supreme Court of Missouri today announced the formation of the Supreme Court Municipal Division Work Group, which it has charged with reviewing all matters relevant to practice in the municipal divisions throughout the state, with ensuring public input, and with recommending appropriate improvements to the system.

The Municipal Division Work Group will be cochaired by two former chief justices of the Supreme Court of Missouri – Ann K. Covington of Columbia and Edward D. “Chip” Robertson Jr. of Jefferson City – and a former chief judge of the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District – Booker T. Shaw of St. Louis. The group’s remaining members are: Kathryn P. Banks, legal services director for Voices

for Children in St. Louis; Sylvester “Sly” James, mayor of Kansas City; Kimberly Jade Norwood, professor of law and of African and African-American studies at Washington University in St. Louis; and Todd Thornhill, chief judge of the Springfield municipal court division.

“The Court chose these individuals for their demonstrated leadership in a variety of settings statewide,” Chief Justice Mary R. Russell said. “They bring to the table a wealth of experience, and we trust this ‘blue ribbon’ group to be both thoughtful and outspoken as they tackle the incredibly important work of formulating practical solutions to ensure our state’s municipal court divisions are places where defendants can trust they will be treated

The End is Here

We just finished the final week of session in Jefferson City.

Every year it is always a crazy and hectic time. You never know which bills have been Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed and are on their way to the governor’s desk.

The House is passing Senate bills, while the Senate is passing House bills. Conference committee reports are being brought up and many, maybe not enough, will die without crossing the finish line. Nearly 2000 bills were introduced and less than 150 will pass, and the governor will no doubt veto several.

This year was a little different. We passed the Right-to-Work bill by a vote of 21-13. Senators debated for more than eight hours, while the minority party tried using every rule and method possible to not take a vote on it. I respect and fully understand that. The Senate rules allow the debate to be stopped and call for the previous question, which forces a vote. By calling for the previous question, the minority party let it be known that they would shut down the Senate for the remainder of the session. As a result, for the last two days we have done nothing.

At stake is Senate Bill 210. This bill extends the Federal Reimbursement Allowance, “FRA”, which is a mechanism to save Missouri tax payers billions of dollars by drawing down federal funding for healthcare. It may not sound like a big deal, but it is over $3.6 billion that we reimburse or pay for Medicaid hospital and nursing home patient care.

The minority party knows this, but has played political games for the past several days. I don’t do well with political games.

Whether you like the votes or not, I feel you sent me here to do a job, not to play games.

We have to pass this bill. There is $3.6 billion on the table. If the minority party continues to stop this from coming to a vote, the governor has said he will call a special session. If he does, you, the taxpayer, will end up paying the high cost of a special session with your tax dollars, as well as mine.

Folks, I don’t want to be in Jefferson City for a special session.

I want to be with my family, on my farm or out in the district.

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.

Ice Cream Social June 6 The Mtn. View Christian Church is sponsoring a community wide ice cream social on Saturday, June 6 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

A guest speaker will be teaching "the women of the Word" and how it affects our lives today. Also there will be testimonies devotions, singing and prizes. Bring

a topping to share. Let's sprinkle our glitter for God. Please R.S.V.P. By Monday, June 1 by contacting Angela Voyles at 417-247-1635. The Mtn. View Christian Church is located on South Hwy. 17, the second church on the left.

There will be no nursery or child care.

fairly and with respect, where their rights will be protected, and where the focus will be on due process of law.”

In addition, the Court invited The Missouri Bar to appoint two members to the working group. Those members are: Reuben Shelton, president of The Missouri Bar and general counsel-litigation for Monsanto in St. Louis; and Karl W. DeMarce, associate circuit judge in Scotland County and municipal judge for Memphis, Missouri.

“We appreciate this opportunity provided by the Supreme Court of Missouri to continue to be engaged on behalf of the members of The Missouri Bar to effect needed systemic changes in the municipal court system,” said Missouri Bar President Reuben Shelton

of St. Louis. “Part of the Bar’s mission is to educate and protect the public, and this collaborative effort will help make sure the primary role of municipal courts is advancing justice and public safety.”

Specifically, the Court has directed the working group to: Evaluate chapter 479, RSMo, and Rule 37, which govern municipal court divisions, as well as other relevant provisions of the constitution, statutes and rules; Examine relevant provisions of the Code of Judicial Conduct (Rule 2) and Rules of Professional Conduct (Rule 4); Review legislation recently enacted by the General Assembly; Analyze comments received by the Supreme Court’s clerk from the public and from lawyers; Study the

issues raised by the United States Department of Justice report as well as the report submitted May 11 to the Court from the state courts administrator’s office and Acting Ferguson Municipal Judge Roy L. Richter; Consult with interested groups and hold one or more public hearings so as to ensure public input; and Consider any other relevant information, including recommendations from the National Center for State Courts regarding best practices for municipal court divisions.

The Court has directed the working group then to take what it learns through its process and outline specific suggestions for improving municipal court divisions statewide. These recommendations should

include measures the Court can implement through its rulemaking authority as well as recommendations for further action by the legislature or other entities.

“We are giving our working group members full-rein to study our state’s municipal court divisions from all angles,” Russell said. “We expect them to respond with specific solutions for improving our municipal court divisions, not only in St. Louis County but throughout the state.

Our hope is that, in time, our municipal court divisions might become a model for the nation.”

The Court expects the group to file its interim report with the Court no later than September 1 and its final report no later than December 1.

by John Perkins with Inspire Capital, Lake of the Ozarks; Jason Graf with Crowdit, Springfield, MO; and Jim Michels with Creative Foundry, Springfield, Missouri. All three judges have judged previous pitch competitions and are highlyrespected members of their communities.

David Dale with Arm Buddy was selected as the grand prize winner. David is currently selling The Arm Buddy in over 500 stores nationwide and in Canada through Pilot truck stops.

He is looking to expand his business by increasing his distribution channels. He also has the goal of bringing production of The Arm Buddy to West Plains or the surrounding area. To do so, he would require a loan or investors to raise nearly $1 million dollars in capital.

Jason Graf told David Dale, “Whenever you decide that you need that million-dollars to begin manufacturing,

come see me first.” Patty Ingalls with The District Zone was the runner-up.

Stephanie Spikowski with The Burger Joint placed 3rd.

Jim Michels with the Creative Foundry praised the event, telling OzSBI staff, “You represented your town very, very well. This morning at One Million Cups (in Springfield) there were several conversations about how West Plains rocks. About how it totally punches above its weight. The people from Springfield that participated in EPIC15 were impressed and we will share. You have elevated your community.”

After the pitch, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. approximately 50 attendees of EPIC, The Business Pitch presenters, guest speakers, the judges and other community leaders attended the EPIC Mix & Mingle. This allowed the attendees a networking opportunity to mingle with area entrepreneurs, business leaders, and investors.

The Inalienable Right to Life

Almost 250 years ago our Founding Fathers eloquently wrote that the inalienable right to life isn’t granted by Congress or any legislature, but is endowed by our Creator.

Sadly, even as our scientific knowledge and medical expertise advance, this inalienable right is still being debated in Washington, D.C. We know that caring doctors and nurses today can save babies born prematurely at 20 weeks and help them go on to lead normal lives. But, sadly, the opportunity to grow and thrive is not protected for babies at that same stage in the womb.

Last week, I voted to be a voice for those that cannot yet speak. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which I cosponsored and has passed the House of Representatives, is one of the most significant pieces of pro-life legislation to ever come before the House. This bill defends life and provides protection for babies that have already reached five months in the womb. At this stage, babies can feel pain and are developed enough that in many cases they can go on to live outside the womb with proper medical care.

This bill reflects the compassionate and caring feelings of the American people to protect the life of the unborn. In poll after poll, folks across the country agree with us here southeast and southern Missouri that it is our obligation to protect babies from painful late-term abortions. In a CNN poll last year, 58 percent of respondents opposed abortions with “few” or “no” exceptions. A CBS News poll found 59 percent of respondents thought abortions should have stricter limits or not be permitted at all. A Quinnipiac poll found that 60 percent of adults, including 59 percent of women, support restrictions on abortion after 20 weeks. Our message of protection for every precious life resonates far beyond just our community.

The fight to protect life at all stages is a fight I am passionately leading in Washington. I will continue to be a voice for the children that deserve our protection and continue to share our message of compassion, because life is truly a gift from God.

Betty Jane Hodge, 64, of Meridian, Idaho, received her promised reward May 14, 2015 surrounded by family and friends. Born May 3, 1951 in Perry, Iowa, she was the daughter of the late Earnest and Laura Malone of Summersville, Missouri.

She is survived by her son, Ernie Hodge; grandson, John Hodge; sisters, Jeanie

Scott Williamson officiating under the direction of Yarber Mortuary of Willow Springs.

Visitation was held Tuesday, May 19, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., also at the First General Baptist Church, 2507 Railroad Drive, Willow Springs.

Pallbearers will be Dean Durnell, Ty Durnell, Aaron Williamson, Lee Freeman, Brent Lovelace, and Tony Duddridge.

Sidney Horace Williamson, son of Rev. Floyd S. and Lizzie (Kentch) Williamson, was born November 10, 1922 at Burnham, MO and departed this life on May 15, 2015, at 92 years of age.

Sid grew up in the Burnham community and attended school there in his early years.

He later moved to the Stony Point area where he attended school and graduated from the eighth grade. In 1938, he entered the Willow Springs High School and graduated with the class of 1941.

During Sid’s teenage years, he got acquainted with Delores Marden and made great efforts to attend Solid Rock General Baptist Church, where she was a member – even regularly riding in the back of a truck for several miles in all kinds of weather to make sure he saw her at church. They entered Willow Springs High School the same year, and started dating when they were in their junior year of school.

On February 1, 1942, Sidney and Delores were united in marriage. To this union three children were born, Sharon, Monty, and Richard (Rick).

As a small boy, Sid was saved at the old Burnham

General Baptist Church. In 1939, while attending the Solid Rock General Baptist Church, he rededicated his life to the Lord. It was on this night that the pastor, Rev. Levi Koch, put his hand on Sid’s head and said, “This boy will be a preacher.” In 1949, Sid felt his call into the ministry. He served as a deacon, and also served the church in many other capacities until September of 1955 when, upon the recommendations of the pastor and congregation, he received his minister’s license.

He was ordained on September 11, 1956.

Bro. Sid and Sis. Delores served the Solid Rock Church as pastors for two years, until he accepted the ministry of the Dry Creek General Baptist Church in 1957. He served there until the mid 1960’s, when he became the pastor of the Burnham General Baptist Church, where he ministered until 1984. In 1986, he began pastoring the congregation of the First General Baptist Church of Willow Springs and served there for twelve and a half years. When he announced his retirement, the church asked him to continue on as an associate pastor, which he did.

Bro. Sid also had jobs and duties outside the church.

He entered military service on February 4, 1943, and honorably served in the Army Air Force Division as a Basic Clerk Typist. He was stationed in Luzon, New Guinea, Southern Philippines, where he spent 22 months in the Asiatic Pacific Theatre of Operations.

While in service, he earned three Bronze Stars and a Good Conduct Medal, in addition to numerous other honors. He was honorably discharged on November 29, 1945.

When he returned from the war, he began working at Garrett Grocery (now G&W Foods) in Willow Springs.

After about two years, he went to work for MFA Feed Store until he later accepted a position driving a delivery truck for the Standard Oil Dealership in Willow Springs.

He later bought the Standard Oil Dealership and ran the business until 1963. He then became a truck driver for MFA Oil Company for the following five or six years. Additionally, during the 1960’s, Sid was a school bus driver for the Willow Springs School

System. He also served three two-year terms as a County Judge (Commissioner) for Howell County from January 1973 through December 1978.

Sid was a loyal St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan and regularly tuned in to the radio to listen to the games. He was well-known locally, and in the surrounding communities, as a great baseball pitcher himself.

Many have told of his knuckle ball that no batter could hit. At one time, some representatives for the St. Louis Cardinals came through the area looking for talent. After watching him pitch, he was offered the opportunity to try out for the Cardinals organization, but chose not to because it would interfere with him attending church on Sunday.

Bro. Sid touched the lives of many people by his kindness and gentleness. He held an exceptionally high level of honesty and integrity. His words of advice to, “Always love the Lord” and “Keep God first”, were offered many times to almost everyone with whom he engaged in conversation. He had a deep passion for seeing souls won for Christ, and lived what he preached every day of his life. He will surely be missed by many in the General Baptist Church communities across southern Missouri, as well as his many friends and acquaintances in Willow Springs.

Sid was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd and Lizzie Williamson, his brothers Dwight, Earl, Carmac, and Art Williamson, his sisters Hazel Vandeventer, Thelma Gilbert, and Edna Robertson, and two infant siblings.

He is survived by wife, Delores, of the home; daughter, Sharon Watt and husband, Ron, of Littleton, Colorado; son, Monty Williamson and wife, Georgia, of Mountain View, Missouri; son Rick Williamson and wife, Jan, of Mount Pleasant, Iowa; four grandchildren, Lori Williamson-Dean, Lisa Durnell, Kristen Faubus, and Aaron Williamson; and six great-grandchildren, Emily and Ty Durnell, Olivia Dean, Julia and Cora Faubus, and Maggie Williamson; nine nieces, seven nephews, and a host of other church family and friends.

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

After a long cold winter, a large number of Missourians look to the great outdoors for summer fun and recreation.

With over 29 floatable streams and 11 major lakes, opportunities to enjoy Missouri’s waterways are boundless. By following state laws specific to waterways and a few simple rules, boaters and floaters can have a safe, enjoyable outdoor experience.

Before heading out, be sure your boat is properly registered. Although nonmotorized vessels and sail boats less than 12 feet in length are exempt, motorized vessels must have a valid certificate of number and validation decals.

The certificate of number card must be onboard and available for inspection by troopers whenever the vessel is operated. Also, special regulations apply to the placement of registration numbers and validation decals on the vessel. Other required equipment include a personal flotation device or life jacket for every person in the vessel. Last year, 29 people drowned in Missouri. With very limited exceptions, children under the age of seven must wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device at

all times, while onboard any watercraft. Vessels carrying flammable liquids must carry the appropriate size U.S. Coast Guard approved fire extinguisher(s).

Other regulations apply to different types and lengths of vessels. You should be familiar with the regulations as they pertain to your specific watercraft and rules on the waterways as they apply to the safe operation of a boat. Missouri law requires any person born after January 1, 1984, to have taken and passed a boater safety education course before operating a motorized vessel on the lakes of the state.

Also, being a courteous boat operator is just as important as being a courteous motorist while driving your vehicle. If your plans include alcohol, whether you are on land or water, use a sober chauffer.

It’s important to be aware that the effects of alcohol are intensified when combined with the action of the waves and the hot sun.

Different risks are associated with floating and paddle sports. Planning and preparation are essential for a successful outing. An eight- to 10-mile float will take five to six hours. A miscalculation on the length of a float trip could mean a

long cold night on a gravel bar, watching for snakes and waiting for daylight to continue your float.

Missouri law prohibits glass containers and glass bottles aboard canoes, kayaks, or other watercraft susceptible to swamping, tipping, or rolling. Also, certain other restrictions apply on federal waterways, such as the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. It’s important to understand that a life jacket is as important in a canoe as a motorized vessel. Two people have drowned in Missouri already this year in incidents involving floating in a canoe. A life jacket cannot save your life if you are not wearing it. Another consideration when on a float stream is the interaction between jet boats and canoes. A motorized vessel that expels a stream of water for propulsion is generally referred to as a “jet boat.” It is necessary to understand this type of vessel must maintain its speed and engine rpms to steer it. This becomes problematic when, on most summer weekends, the rivers are congested with canoes, float tubes, rafts, and anything else that floats.

Floaters need to be aware these boats do not have brakes. Blocking the river

with canoes and tubes in a curve, where there is no sight distance, is an extremely dangerous situation. On the other hand, jet boat operators should respect the rights of other people using the river and travel at a safe speed through the crowds of tubes and canoes they may encounter. While on the river, be considerate of others and remember a float trip is not a license to party. Troopers will be there watching for drug usage, underage drinking, and raucous behavior.

In 2014, 179 boating crashes were reported in Missouri.

These crashes caused 103 injuries and 15 fatalities. Most of these crashes are instances of people who were out for a day of fun that turned into tragedy. By educating yourself on how to be safe on the water and obeying the law, your chances of being involved in a boating crash are greatly decreased. Remember, when a trooper tells you to “buckle up,” it not only means your seat belt it can mean your life jacket.

Panthers shut-out upset minded Eagles in district

by Brian Ingalls Mountain View Standard News office@mvstandard.com

The Mountain Grove Panthers are just that good in baseball this season. Tuesday, May 19 in the second round of games in the District tournament, the Liberty Eagles got their second chance against the Panthers, but much like the game back in April, the strength of Mountain Grove's pitching was just too much to overcome. Liberty's season came to an end with a 10-0 loss after six innings as the Panthers picked up their 21st win of the season and went on to pick up their 22nd victory with a 1-0 win over the Licking Wildcats in the District championship.

Pitching was the difference

for the Panthers in both games, and they finished the tournament without giving up a run. Only four players reached base for the Eagles as the Panthers piled up 14 strikeouts, 13 coming from senior pitcher Garrett Newberry who picked up the win after five innings of work.

Base hits from Cale Cornman and Jansen Acklin were about all the fireworks there would be on the day from Liberty.

Both Cornman and Corbin Dewick also reached first on walks. Not much else was going Liberty's way.

For their part, the Panthers bats erupted for 16 hits, steadily putting together runs until reaching the 10-run rule in the sixth inning. Mountain Grove scored twice in the first inning, three more in the

third, another three times in the fourth, and two runs in the sixth. Add those up with Newberry's pitching, and the Panthers took home a 10-point shut out victory.

A closer look reveals just how tough it was. Liberty batted first and after a couple of strikeouts, Cornman stepped up to the plate and connected for a base hit. Any attempt to start something, however, was dashed by the Panthers defense as Millard grounded out to short stop.

The Panthers wasted no time getting on the scoreboard.

Jacob Mitchell led off and reached first after being hit by a pitch. He scored on a single by Blaine Halford who later scored thanks to base hits by Brock Coffman and Newberry.

Mountain Grove led 3-0 and the Eagles struggled to respond. A fly ball to center field by Dewick, and two more strikeouts sent Liberty packing in the second inning, and three consecutive strikeouts in the third inning shut the Eagles down again.

Meanwhile, the Panthers started the bottom of the third with a solo homerun from DJ McNew. Next, Coffman and Treye Collins reached first on base hits. A double by Cory Allen with two outs scored them both.

The Panthers 5-0 lead became 8-0 in the fourth inning as three of four Eagles struck out, and the Panthers went to work again. Base hits from Mitchell and Halford started the inning, and McNew picked up an RBI

with a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Mitchell. Coffman was up next and hit a single to bring Halford him, and before the inning was over, Coffman scored for the second time in a row.

Down by eight, with time running out, the Eagles still had no answer for Newberry.

The senior pitcher wrapped up his five innings with three consecutive strikeouts.

McNew relieved him in the sixth and faced the top the order.

Against McNew, Liberty bats made some noise but not enough. Orchard grounded out. A pop-up by Acklin was taken by the short-stop, and despite a walk to Cornman who later stole second, a final strikeout put the Eagles away.

In the bottom of the sixth,

the Panthers led off with a single from McNew who finished the game three for three. Coffman was better, going four for four and he picked up another base hit, as did Newberry. Liberty's defense threw Coffman out at second, but both McNew and Newberry would score to make it 10-0 Mountain Grove to end the game, and Liberty's season.

On this day, the improbable upset was not to be, but that's been true for most teams against the Panthers this season. For the Eagles, impressive victories including a 5-1 win over Houston in Districts, plus several standout individual performances, gave them a lot to be proud of as 2015 came to a close against the District Champions.

Board approves MOUs between Missouri State-West Plains, SCCC Members of the Missouri State University Board of Governors today approved two “memorandums of understanding” (MOU) between Missouri State University-West Plains and the South Central Career Center (SCCC) allowing university students to use credits they’ve earned in culinary arts and manufacturing technology at SCCC toward associate’s degrees or certificates in those disciplines offered by the university.

Culinary arts is an option of the Associate of Applied Science in Entrepreneurship degree, and manufacturing

technology is an option of the Associate of Applied Science in Technology degree. Certificate programs in culinary arts and manufacturing technology also are offered by Missouri State-West Plains.

“Being able to offer these two programs has only come about because we have such a great partner in the SCCC,” said Dr. Dennis Lancaster, dean of academic affairs. “Without the career center, these two degrees and their accompanying certificate programs would not have been possible for us at Missouri State-West Plains perhaps for several

Excellence in Writing Awards

years, if at all. Plus, these are coming at a critical time for the residents of this area, which both institutions serve under their different but intertwined missions. With pending job layoffs in the area, these programs may be the opportunity those needing additional training will need to land that next manufacturing position or to do something that they’ve always wanted to, like working in the restaurant and hospitality business.”

According to the culinary arts MOU, Missouri State-West Plains will be responsible for admission and financial aid processes for the two courses taken by university students,

Culinary Arts I (FCA 150) and Culinary Arts II (FCA 155), as well as the course curriculum, although both parties will cooperate in the development of the latter. University officials also will be responsible for maintaining student transcripts.

Students enrolled in the courses through the university will pay Missouri State-West Plains tuition and fees, and the university will pay SCCC $158 per student per credit hour for delivery of the courses. Both courses are worth 12 credit hours.

SCCC officials will provide course instruction, under terms of the MOU. The instructors will be employees of the West

Plains R-7 School District/ SCCC, receiving compensation and benefits from the district; however, their credentials will be consistent with university requirements.

The responsibilities and requirements of the university and SCCC outlined in the MOU for manufacturing technology courses is the same as the culinary arts MOU; however, six courses are covered under its terms: Manufacturing Materials and Processes (TEC 111), Employment in Manufacturing Occupation (TEC 123), Manufacturing Machine Technology (TEC 165), Welding Technology (TEC 175), Mechanical Systems and Fluid Power (TEC 245) and

Automated Manufacturing (TEC 275). Each course is three credit hours.

Lancaster pointed out West Plains R-7 School officials already have given their approval to the culinary arts MOU and are expected to take action on the manufacturing MOU at their May 19 meeting. Even so, he said the programs’ eligibility for federal financial aid has not yet been approved, adding those approvals will be forthcoming in the next few weeks or months.

For more information about the MOUs or the courses, contact the Missouri State-West Plains academic affairs office at 417-2557272.

Board How to Find and Choose a New Doctor Dear Savvy Senior, What resources can you recommend to help me find and research some doctors in my area? I’m looking for a good primary care doctor or internist for my elderly parents, and need to locate a good orthopedic doctor for me.

Shopping for Doctors Dear Shopping, Thanks to the Internet, finding and researching doctors is a lot easier than it use to be. Today, there’s a wide variety of websites you can turn to that provide databases of U.S. doctors, their professional medical histories, and ratings and reviews from past patients on a number of criteria. Here are some of the best sites available, along with a few additional tips that can help you find the right doctors.

Locating Tips To help you locate some doctors in your area, a good first step, and one that doesn’t require a computer, is to ask for a referral.

Contact some other doctors, nurses, or health care professionals that you know, for some names of doctors or practices that they like and trust.

You should also call your insurance provider, or visit their website directory to get a list of potential candidates. If you or your parents are Medicare beneficiaries, you can use the Physician Compare tool at medicare.gov/physiciancompare.

This will let you find doctors by name, medical specialty or by geographic location that accept original Medicare. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227.

Once you find a few doctors, you need to call their office to verify that they still accept your insurance, and if they are accepting new patients.

Research Tools After you find a few doctors you’re interested in, there are lots of online resources you can turn to, to help you check up on them.

For example, you can find out if a doctor is board certified at the American Board of Medical Specialties at certificationmatters. org or call 866-275-2267. And to learn about malpractice claims and disciplinary actions taken against doctors, you can use your state medical board – see fsmb.org/state-medical-boards/contacts to search your state.

Here are some other good websites that can help you find and/ or research doctors in your area for free.

Healthgrades.com: This comprehensive easy-to-use site provides doctor’s information on education and training, hospital affiliations, board certification, awards and recognitions, professional misconduct, disciplinary action and malpractice records, office locations and insurance plans. It also offers a 5-star ratings scale from past patients on a number of issues like communication and listening skills, wait time, time spent with the patient, office friendliness and more.

Vitals.com: Provides background information on doctor’s awards, expertise, hospital affiliations, and insurance as well as patient ratings on measures such as bedside manner, followup, promptness, accuracy of diagnosis, and average wait time.

There’s also a patient comment section.

RateMDs.com: Provides information on training as well as patient ratings on staff, punctuality, helpfulness and knowledge.

Patients can also post questions and answers about doctors, and get doctor’s ratings based on patient reviews.

Look Up Tool: If you want to find out how many times a doctor did a particular service and what they charge for it, go to data. cms.gov and click on “Medicare Physician and Other Supplier Look-up Tool” at the top of the page.

AngiesList.com: If you don’t mind spending a little money ($20/per year), Angie’s List is a membership service that provides doctor reviews using an A through F scale.

When reaching a doctor, it’s wise to check out several of these sites so you can get a bigger sampling and a better feel of how previous patients are rating a particular doctor.

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.

Soccer

and was ready to put the ball in motion however the official blew his whistle signaling that the ball went past the line and

From Page One it was indeed a goal, 2-0 Lady Eagles. The last goal of the first half would come with just minutes left on the clock. Jessica Mantel dribbled the ball down field passing it off to Henry who shot from 18 yards out for the goal. The half would end 3-0 for the Lady Eagles.

The only game of the second half would be scored by Daniels who had a phenomenal night on the field. Twenty-one minutes into the second half, Daniels took possession of the ball and marched it down the field leaving the Wildcats in her wake.

Inching dangerously close to the goal, Daniels shot from four yards out for the final goal of the game.

As the whistle blew, the Lady Eagles and fans rushed the field to celebrate the win. The seniors accepted the plaque as a very proud coach Joey Spittler looked on.

"We played really well. I asked the girls before the game to come out and immediately pressure them non stop and to give everything they had the first ten minutes so they couldn't get into a rhythm and they did just that," commented Coach Spittler. "Kailyn stepped up with a few really big goals and Jaci played very well in the goal. The girls did a great job of playing together and working for each other."

When asked how Coach Spittler felt about the win he had this to say, "It was the biggest win I have ever had as a coach. It was great to see the seniors reach the goal they had set for themselves and it was fun to watch the juniors and sophomores work so hard so that they could help the seniors reach that goal."

The Lady Eagles (14-5) will move on to play Springfield Catholic (18-7) for the first game of sectionals on Tuesday, May 26 at 5 p.m.

MDC encourages motorists to give turtles a brake:

Be alert when driving to avoid hitting these slow and steady travelers crossing roads The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages motorists to give turtles crossing roads a brake. Turtles are struck by cars throughout warmer months, but are at special risk this time of year because they are on the move. Young males make up most of the travelers as they search for territories of their own and for female turtles. Comfort is also a factor. Like other reptiles, turtles are coldblooded so basking on warm asphalt feels good on cool spring days.

MDC encourages motorists to slow down when they see a turtle in the road and check to be sure

they can safely steer around it. If helping a turtle cross a road, keep human safety as the number-one concern.

Check for traffic and be sure to move the turtle across the road in the direction it was traveling.

The three-toed box turtle is the species most often seen crossing roads in Missouri. Primarily a woodland species, it is found everywhere but the extreme northern part of the state. It is so named because it has three toes on each hind foot, unless a few appendages have been taken by predators or frostbite.

The ornate box turtle is also a common traveler

and is found in all but the southeastern corner of the state. It is more adapted to grasslands and is most common in western Missouri. Ornate box turtles usually have four toes per hind foot. In keeping with their name, ornate box turtles also have more vivid yellow stripes on a black background on the tops of their shells. The bottoms of their shells typically have streaks of black on a yellow background.

Box turtles spend their quite lives eating plants, earthworms, and insects. A hinged lower shell allows these reptiles to completely encase their head and legs,

protecting themselves from most natural enemies. But autos kill thousands of turtles each year and are probably their biggest cause of death.

Box turtles can live for decades, and females continue laying eggs for most of their lives. They need plenty of time to replace themselves since snakes, raccoons, opossums, and other predators eat most of their eggs.

For more information about three-toed box turtles, visit the MDC online Field Guide at mdc.mo.gov/ node/987. For more info on Turtles - The ornate box turtle usually has four hind ornate box turtles, visit the toes. Its high-domed shell is usually brown with yellow Field Guide at mdc.mo.gov/ lines.

Bill White. “This new RCPP funding provides Missouri landowners with a great opportunity to improve water quality, soil quality, and wildlife habitat.”

Funding is available through two separate RCPP projects: the Grassland Bird and Grazing Land Enhancement Initiative and the Restoring Glade and Woodland Communities for Threatened Species.

Funding is available to private landowners interested in improving the quality of soil, water, and wildlife habitat on working grazing lands.

The goal of the grazing land enhancement program is to make conservation practices available to producers that help meet both livestock production objectives and provide wildlife habitat on the same operation. Lands located within the following counties are eligible: Adair, Andrew, Atchison,

Barton, Bates, Benton, Caldwell, Carroll, Cass, Cedar, Christian, Dade, Daviess, DeKalb, Douglas, Franklin, Gasconade, Gentry, Greene, Grundy, Harrison, Henry, Holt, Howell, Jasper, Johnson, Lawrence, Livingston, Mercer, Montgomery, Nodaway, Ozark, Pettis, St. Clair, Sullivan, Texas, Vernon, Warren, Worth, and Wright.

Funding is also available to reimburse landowners to restore or manage glades and woodlands in Carter, Iron, Madison, Perry, Reynolds, Ripley, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Shannon, and Wayne counties.

There is also opportunity to treat cropland in Perry County to enhance wildlife habitat and water quality.
