The CHS band won second place in its division at the Stockton parade on Saturday. In its division, the band earned the highest marching score of the five bands competing. Overall, of the 18 bands competing in the different divisions, the CHS band tied with the second highest marching score. David Knight, the CHS director, said, “We spent the past two weeks working on performance basics and unity, and it showed. Our marching in particular was a strong performance for us.” Next for the band is the MSU parade on Oct. 18.

“This will be our toughest parade of the year. The competition is very good, and the judging is very tough,” Knight said. “We already have a goal, so we are looking forward to performing again.”

Congratulations to the band members. We wish you continued success.

The Stone County Health De-partment is now offering well-child check-ups as part of the Healthy Children and Youth Program. The program is open to all children on Medicaid between the ages of 0-21 years. Jane Stonner, FNP, (family nurse practitioner) will be provid-ing this service for the community.

Starting the week of Oct. 6, 2014, SCHD will be taking appointments for Monday mornings 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Galena Office and Thursday mornings 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Branson West Office. The purpose of the Healthy Chil-dren and Youth Program is to find Medicaid-eligible children less than 21 years of age with actual or potential health problems and to screen, diagnose, and treat the problems before they become per-manent, lifelong disabilities. The program also offers preventive health services to these children and will ensure that lead testing and vaccinations are up-to-date.

This program meets several ob-jectives as outlined by the State of Missouri:

• Early: A Medicaid-eligible child should begin to receive high quality preventive health care as early as possible in life.

• Periodic:Preventive health

care occurring at regular intervals according to an established sched-ule that meets reasonable stan-dards of medical, vision, hearing, and dental practice established by a recognized professional organi-zation.

• Screening: A comprehen-sive, head-to-toe physical exami-nation to identify those who may need further diagnosis, evaluation, and/or treatment of their physical

and mental problems.• Diagnosis: The determi-

nation of the nature or cause of physical or mental disease, condi-tions, or abnormalities identified during a screening.

• Treatment: Any type of health care or other measures provided to correct or improve defects, physical and mental ill-nesses, or chronic conditions identified during a screening.

The schedule of visits is based upon the recommendations of the American Academy of Pe-diatrics Guidelines for Health Supervision III. Periodic screen-ings are available at the follow-ing ages.
