Tax statements are in the mail, due Dec. 31 “Tax statements are in the mail,” according to Howell County Collector Larry Spence. The Howell County Collector of Revenue said his office mailed out about 40,000 tax statements this week and residents should begin receiving the statements within the next few days. The Howell County Collector is charged with collecting about 19 million dollars annually for various political subdivisions located either partially or wholly within the county with the majority of the money collected (about 14 million dollars) for the 10
local school districts serving the county. Spence said, “most levies set by tax entities during August remained the same or if they changed it was only a fraction this year.” He said the 10 school districts have a county-wide average of $3.55 per $100 assessed valuation and the 10 districts range from a high of $4.65 for Bakersfield to $2.75 for both Richards and Willow Springs. Taxpayers have until December 31 this year to pay taxes without a penalty. TaxSee Taxes on Page 8

Season-ender held at Mtn. View Golf Course by Tianna Brooks
Mountain View Standard News office@mvstandard.com
The skills were showing at the final Chili Opener held Saturday, October 24 at the Mountain View Municipal Golf Course. Two ace hitters were highlighted on the crisp Saturday morning. Jeremy Haynes of Mtn. View View led the morning off with a 120 yard hit on hole #2, par 3 – one stroke and it was in! This makes his sixth ace during his golfing experience as he has
definitely learned to master the course. Just a few hours later, Doyle Murr hit a hole-in-one on hole #4, par 3, 115 yards. Murr has three Ace hits and was playing with lifelong golfing mate, Charles Midyett. These two, traveling to Mtn. View from Salem, have been playing the Mtn. View course since the early Dayne Glass tourney days. Murr’s perfect shot was followed by cheers among players, and the odds of an ace: one in every 33,000 swings. The tourney featured win-

Missouri scores touchdown, but losing streak continues by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist There might be a rule that when Missouri hosts Thursday night football games, it must rain and rain hard. During last Thursday’s game with Mississippi State, the heavens dutifully opened up and for a while, the Tigers and Bulldogs were playing in sheets of rain. Fortunately it didn’t rain all game long this time, and somewhere in all those drops of rain Missouri broke its 47-drive drought without a touchdown.
But on the unfortunate side, this game was like other recent Missouri games, as the Tigers struggled on offense and lost for the fourth time in a row, 31-13. Missouri (45, 1-5 in SEC play) only trailed 14-13 at the half, but in the second half Mississippi State (7-2, 3-2 in SEC) pulled away, and Missouri’s season slipped further away. After weeks of tightly contested games, Missouri’s strong defense finally cracked a little under the strain of trying to carry a weak offense game
after game. The Tigers were also facing perhaps the SEC’s best quarterback in Dak Prescott, who torched the Tigers for 303 passing yards and four touchdowns. Despite the touchdown, which came on a Russell Hansbrough run in the second quarter, Missouri’s offense didn’t play well enough to win, especially in the passing game. It’s tough to put too much blame on freshman quarterback Drew Lock, given Missouri’s weaknesses at most offensive positions, but he has had a fairly
nightmarish season. Lock has completed just 49.4 percent of his passes with just three touchdowns against five interceptions. Junior Maty Mauk was only marginally better, and he is suspended for the rest of the season for violating team rules. Missouri has now lost four in a row for the first time since 2004. The Tigers need to win two of their last three to make a bowl, and they will probably be underdogs in all three games. Up next is Saturday’s game with Brigham Young
University at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City (6:30 p.m. on SEC Network). BYU is one of three Independents in college football’s top tier, the others being Notre Dame and Army. The Cougars (7-2) started 2-2 against a very challenging schedule. The scheduled eased up somewhat, and BYU has won five in a row. BYU lost star quarterback Taysom Hill for the season due to injury, but freshman Tanner Mangum has done a great job filling in. The Cougars also play sound,
physical defense. It’s a week off from SEC play, but Missouri isn’t getting a break; BYU can play. The Cougars began the week as a slight favorite, but this is probably Missouri’s best chance to win another game before the season ends. Tennessee (Nov. 21) and Arkansas (Nov. 27) are both getting better as the season goes on. Losing seven straight to finish the year at 4-8 would be a disaster. This looks like a close game, although Missouri’s offense needs to do more to take some pressure off the defense.

Looking Back Through the eyes of the Standard News
The Imaginary Theatre Company of the St. Louis Repertory Theatre will bring its production of “The Elves and the Shoemaker” to the West Plains Civic Center stage for a 7 p.m. performance Nov. 13. Presented by Missouri State University-West Plains’ University/Community Programs (U/CP) Department, the performance is being made possible with support from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency. Tickets are $8 each for adults. Children age 13 and under, and Missouri State-West Plains students with a valid BearPass ID, will be admitted free. Tickets may be purchased at the civic center box office, 110 St. Louis St., or by calling 417-256-8087. Based on the traditional tale by the Brothers Grimm, the production tells the story of a kindly shoemaker who goes to the marketplace to sell his last remaining pair of shoes so he and his wife will have money to pay bills and buy food. When he sees a cold, hungry beggar woman, he happily gives his only remaining pair of shoes to her to keep her bare feet warm. The woman promises the shoemaker he will be rewarded for his good deed. Rewarded he is when, unexpectedly, elves magically appear overnight and create well-made shoes everyone wants to buy, turning his simple shoe shop into a great success. To learn more about this or other upcoming events, call the U/CP office at 417-255-7966 or visit www.wp.missouristate. edu/ucp/.

MDC to receive $2.4 million from USDA for wetlands on private land This October, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will receive $2.4 million for projects that protect, restore, and enhance wetlands in Missouri. The projects will be funded under the Wetland Reserve Enhancement Program (WREP)
administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Missouri is one of only six states to receive WREP funding this year. The WREP provides financial assistance to landowners interested in restoring the hydrology and improving wildlife habitat on their Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)
Service and Sacrifice Since 1775, our brave military men and women have fought for freedom and democracy. On this Veterans Day we remember our service members that have bravely faced the challenges of a dangerous world from the Revolutionary War to today’s War on Terror. Like so many, military service has been a part of my family. My uncle courageously fought in Vietnam earning a purple heart. Because of the selfless service of many like him, my commitment is to ensure that our veterans are treated with respect and receive the benefits they earned. Recently, I have worked to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs. I sponsored the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, legislation to provide much needed assistance to the heroes of our nation who were exposed to different chemical toxins while sacrificing for our country during the Vietnam War. I also worked to get veterans living in rural areas better access to care. It has been more than a year since we learned that at least 40 veterans died while waiting months and even years for care in the VA health system. Veterans should be able to see the doctor they want, close to home. There’s no excuse for bureaucracy obstructing our veterans from getting the care they were promised when the rest of the health care industry is innovating and finding ways to help more patients with shorter wait times. We also are working to root out fraud and abuse at the VA. This week, the House Veterans Affairs Committee subpoenaed VA employees who abused the relocation payments in the department – abuse found by the VA’s own inspector general. It also was discovered that the VA paid $23 million to people on leave, and had no tracking mechanism. This is unacceptable and our veterans deserve better. Meeting and helping our heroes is one of the best parts of my job, and twice this year I was honored to meet members of the Greatest Generation when they visited their WWII memorial in Washington, D.C. Those veterans from southeast and south central Missouri, along with many of their children and grandchildren for the first time saw how the nation was honoring there service. Additionally, I sponsored a bill that would pay tribute to those who served in the Korean War, a war in which 945 Missourians lost their lives. When I talk with veterans, some are surprised to learn that my office can help with VA problems. If you are a veteran having trouble, please contact one of my offices for help. You can find all of the offices listed on my website at www.jasonsmith.house.gov. We can help you navigate the VA bureaucracy, get the benefits you have earned, or replace lost or stolen medals. Join with me this Veterans Day in remembering and thanking those who served our country so honorably. As Ronald Reagan said, “We owe this freedom of choice and action to those men and women in uniform who have served this nation and its interests in time of need.”
easements. MDC, in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited, will provide an additional $700,000 in matching funds -- bringing the total investment in wetland restoration to $3.1 million over the next three years. "This is a fine example of how we will accomplish much more by working in partnership than any of us would be able to accomplish individually," NRCS State Conservationist J.R. Flores
said. "The newer wetlands provide a wide range of benefits to wildlife and the land. NRCS is pleased to be working with landowners and our partners to get more of these wetlands on the land." According to MDC, wetland restorations completed in the early 1990s were primarily designed to provide uniform water levels within a single-ring levee. "Wetland restoration techniques have improved drasti-

cally over the past 25 years," said MDC Private Land Services Division Chief Bill White. "WREP provides a great opportunity to enhance these older sites and restore them in a way that better mimics natural wetland systems. Wetlands that provide diverse water levels and vegetation provide wildlife habitat for a larger suite of waterbirds including ducks, geese, and shore birds." MDC and NRCS have a successful history of restoring wetlands through the WREP. In past years, WREP has helped restore thousands of acres of existing wetlands in a number of north Missouri counties. The current WREP is expanded so landowners with WRP easements located within 30 counties across the state will now be eligible to apply for funding to enhance their wetlands. The eligible counties are: Bates, Boone,
Buchanan, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Chariton, Cooper, Dunklin, Henry, Holt, Howard, Johnson, Knox, Lafayette, Lincoln, Linn, Livingston, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Pike, Platte, St. Charles, St. Louis, Saline, Scott, Shelby, Stoddard, and Vernon. NRCS, MDC, and Ducks Unlimited will work together to provide assistance to private landowners to restore and enhance at least 10,000 acres of wetland habitat on existing WRP easements. "The successful partnership between NRCS, MDC, and our private conservation organizations ensure Missouri landowners receive the best opportunities available to improve the wildlife habitat and natural resources on their properties," said White. Missouri landowners may apply for the new WREP this winter.
Celebrating America’s Veterans
This coming Wednesday, we honor America’s strongest men and women who have dedicated their lives to the protection of our great nation. As a member of this honored group of patriots myself—as was my father before me—it gives me great pleasure to thankfully remember all of the former service members across the country, not just on Nov. 11, but every day. I urge you, too, to give thanks to those bravest of the brave this coming Veterans Day by recognizing the selfless contributions they have made to keep America prosperous, safe, and free. Veterans have affected each and every one of our lives by placing themselves in the line of duty and placing their country’s needs above their own. I hope we can all show a veteran what their experiences, sacrifices, and triumphs truly mean to us. Take the time Wednesday to shake a hand, give a hug, or donate to services that aid former servicemen and women such as the USO, The American Legion, Wounded Warrior Project, or your local VFW. Our veterans are shining examples of what makes the United States the greatest country in the world. Countless American soldiers, sailors, engineers, doctors, etc. have traveled the world to aid the less fortunate, and we at home need to help and honor them for their service whenever and wherever possible. 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.
OzSBI receives $24,000 USDA grant The Ozarks Small Business Incubator (OzSBI) has received a $24,000 grant from the USDA to work with small manufacturing companies located in Howell, Oregon, Shannon, Texas, Wright, Douglas and Ozark counties. The program will focus on identifying barriers to growth and providing targeted training and support to these companies. The USDA grant will be matched with local funds provided by the Industrial Development Corporation of West Plains (IDC) for $25,000. During the next year, OzSBI will set up meetings with the majority of the manufacturing companies located in the 7 counties. OzSBI will specifically target the 55 plus machining and forestry-related manufacturers by conducting a one-on-one survey of these companies. The main goal is to learn their needs and what specific barriers to growth
they face. As a result of the information gathered, OzSBI will host targeted trainings; provide business mentoring services; host quarterly manufacturing meetings; and provide access to resources and support. Additionally, OzSBI hopes to identify maching capabilities at each company. The goal is to identify machining capacity that can be utilized by other manufacturers to maximize the usage of machines, increase revenue for the machine shop, and meet the needs of other small manufacturers that are currently out-sourcing their work. The goal is to turn out-sourcing into in-sourcing within the region. OzSBI invites manufacturers big and small to attend its first Manufacturing Roundtable on November 12 at 6 p.m. This Manufacuting Roundtable will include
dinner and is being sponsored by Caterpillar. During this free event, manufacturers will have an opporutnity to get to know other companies, while OzSBI facilitates a discussion on the current challenges facing manufacturers. The mission of the Manufacturing Roundtable is to explore opporunities for manufacturers to grow locally. To register call 2569724 or email heatherfisher@ ozsbi.com. OzSBI and the IDC believe by working with small local manufacturers, we will be able to help build jobs and grow the income of the local economy faster than we could by competing for new big industries. The owners of these companies have local ties to the community where they are located. By supporting them, OzSBI hopes to grow their local economies. Toney Aid, OzSBI CEO added, “Machining is a niche for the surrounding counties and may attract larger manufactures where these shops can provide just in time parts for these companies.” Rural Development State Director Janie Dunning added, “The Ozarks Small Business Incubator understands businesses need support and lives true to its mission— helping businesses grow. Rural Development is proud to be a partner in providing support to small business development through the OzSBI.” To reserve your seat at the Manufacturing Roundtable on November 12 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 pm, please contact Heather Fisher, OzSBI Executive Director, at 2569724 or email heatherfisher@ ozsbi.com

Conservation or Real Estate Speculation in the Ozarks? A Response to the State's Proposal for the Park in Oregon County and to the Proposals of Conservation Organizations Seeking Land in the Ozarks “Prior to 2005, companies around the world began to notice that many medicines, products and oil were coming from Southern Mexico and a region, called Chiapas. These companies wanted the land and the products, so they asked the United Nations to designate the region a biosphere reserve. They made rules about what could be produced in the forests and what fish could be taken from the sea. They moved indigenous people out of the area, telling them that the land came first. As they were doing this, they were telling the people that they were saving the land and their heritage. One of the agencies that was involved in the process and planning and one that is still there is..The Nature Conservancy. Now, this agency is buying land along Ozark rivers, saying it is trying to preserve our heritage. Should we believe the Nature Conservancy?” “Imagine…(as John Lennon sang)…there is no country”….He was speaking of nationalism, but the words apply to the argument concerning the interest in the Ozark river areas. Imagine…hotels along our rivers…Imagine, because it is happening, today. The first riverway tourist complex is in Van Buren, Missouri; a concert venue, hotel, restaurant and canoe rental business which the Internet describes as having a $50 million annual income with 40,000 customers per year, all subsidized with federal tax dollars as concession funding for Ozarks Scenic Riverways. This business belongs to the family of a commissioner of the Missouri Department of Conservation and a Nixon appointee. A few blocks away from the river complex, the Nature Conservancy has set up shop on Main
Street. The stated goal is to preserve the Current and Jack’s Fork River areas and to obtain “conservation easements” from farmers and landowners. According to an Internet real estate site, the Conservancy purchased the last available river property on the Jack’s Fork, north of Mountain View. It is presently conserving more than 90,000 acres of river properties from its office in St. Louis with its board members and representatives scattered from St. Louis to Kansas City, deciding best practices for the local environment. Although, it claims a conservation initiative, its list of supporters reads like a list of corporate polluters, Wall Street banks and hotel chains. Directing conservation measures from St. Louis is not solely a Nature Conservancy art. The L-A-D Foundation owns 140,000 acres along the Jack’s Fork and Current Rivers and recently sold land to the Department of Natural Resources to add to Camp Zoe. L-A-D Foundation is in St. Louis, as well. Why should the people of Howell County and surrounding areas be concerned about this sudden interest in the well-being of our rivers and forests? Under law and agency directives, we have the right
to notice, public meetings and control and negation of agency and governmental plans affecting our areas. This is not happening and reveals purposeful exclusion of stakeholders as was mentioned at the meeting concerning the proposal for the new park in Oregon County. The bottom line: Development for profit at the expense of the people who have always lived in the area, caring for the land. It is nothing less than the commodification of nature by federal, state and conservation groups that see dollar signs where we see trees, rivers and springs. In the MesoAmerican Biological Corridor mentioned above, the Nature Conservancy was part of a coalition directed by Conservation International, a conglomerate of corporations presenting a “green face” to the public for the purpose of exploiting the land and its resources for corporate greed. Now….. they are here. Keep raising your voices! Gwen Reese Mountain View, Missouri PS. My Sunshine Act request for the plans for Camp Zoe has been delayed three months. The law says the turn-around time is three days. Government in the sunshine?

From Page One compared to 32 fatalities this time in 2014. Col. J. Bret Johnson, Superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol urged motorists to use caution on roadways and to remain alert while driving in changing weather patterns. “In some parts of the state, roadways have been dry for extended periods of time. Recent rains combined with existing oil, dirt, and other substances can create a serious road hazard. These roadways quickly become slick. Motorists are encouraged to reduce their speed and increase their following distance any time it rains. Even light rain can make
travel treacherous.” Widely varying temperatures can leave roadways or bridge floors covered with frost. Even though roads appear to be clear, it is important to slow down and watch for slick areas, especially early in the morning. Temperature changes also cause fog to develop. Drivers need to slow down, turn on their headlights, and be prepared to stop in foggy conditions. Weather conditions requiring the use of windshield wipers are usually those that affect visibility. Motorists are reminded that state law requires them to turn on their vehicle’s headlights any time they are using the windshield wipers. It only takes a second to turn on your vehicle’s headlights. But, that second could make you more visible to other drivers and prevent a traffic crash. 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.

'The Diary of Anne Frank' opens at the Star Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1929, however, when Hitler came to power in 1933 and imposed the Jewish restrictions, her father felt the need to move the family. And so, he moved the family to Amsterdam, Holland where they thrived. That is until Germany invaded Holland in 1942 and the family, finding themselves unable to leave, went into hiding. Thirteenyear-old Anne began writing of their experience in a diary given to her by her father. On November 13, the Star Dramatic Company will bring that story to the stage at the Star Theater. Running for six shows over two weekends, November 13-15 and 20-22, there is am-
ple opportunity for the whole family to attend. And attend they should as Director Craig Fowler has assembled an excellent cast and crew to bring to life this amazing and poignant story. The set, created by Avery and Wendy Parker is some of their best work and truly invites the audience into the attic with the characters. The show is a mustsee, so join the SDC as they present The Diary of Anne Frank at the Star Theater in Willow Springs. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. with Sunday performances at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $6 for adults and $4 for students with a valid ID.

Eminence Area Volunteer Fire Department October Report The Eminence Area Volunteer Fire Department was kept very busy during October with a major house fire, two brush fires, six motor vehicle accidents and many First Responder calls. A major house fire occurred in early October. The Eminence Area Volunteer Fire Department as well as the Winona Volunteer Fire Department responded to a house fire at the Hunt residence on F. The house was fully involved when firefighters arrived and is a total loss. Luckily there were no injuries, either to the residents or firefighters. There was also a small brush fire on Pine Ridge Road
that threatened a dwelling. It was quickly brought under control and the home was undamaged. The October trailride resulted in many First Responder calls with seven calls for people thrown from horses, as well as other calls for minor injuries at the camps. Injuries ranged from minor cuts and bruises to major spinal trauma. In the first week of October there were twice as many injury calls than in all of September. There were also four house calls, totaling 17 medical response calls. There were six vehicle wrecks, including a motorcycle wreck on south Route 19, an overturned semi on Route 19 near Round Spring, a delivery truck off the road and three crashes in town. A major injury crash the night of the Arts and Crafts Show resulted in a woman being airlifted to St Louis and the driver of the other vehicle being charged with felony vehicular assault. The “jaws of life” were used to extricate the driver of a semi-truck that overturned at Round Spring towards the end of the month. The driver was airlifted to Springfield. The Fire Board elected new members at its annual meeting October 5. Taking seats
on the board were Kathryn Thompson, Michael Chilton, Gino Deskins, Debbie O’Dell and Jim Bay along with returning members Dave O’Dell, Steve Hogan, Margie Cleary, Julie O’Donnell, Jeff Cowan, Eugene Dodson, Ron Lashly and Eva Akers. The new members are all well qualified for their positions, Michael Chilton is a former Fire Chief, Gino Deskins a former First Responder, and Jim Bay served for thirty years as a firefighter in Sullivan, MO. The Arts and Crafts Show gave the Fire Department an opportunity to show off its cooking skills. Barbecue ribs with all the fixings were sold as a fund raiser and over $500 was raised. Fire Safety materials for children were also available at the booth. While the Fire Department and First Responders were at the Craft Show, they responded to two incidents at the Circle B Campground. Later that night there was a serious motor vehicle accident in Eminence. A woman was flown to St Louis by helicopter with serious injuries. The Fire Department also handed out candy and fire safety educational items to trick or treaters on Main Street on Halloween and then
responded to a motor vehicle accident later that same night. The Fire Department also launched its Amazon Wish List this month, a way for donors to contribute actual supplies and equipment rather than cash. It can be found by going to www.amazon.com and looking for the “Find a Wish List” button. A link is also prominently displayed on the EAVFD Facebook page. The Eminence Area Volunteer Fire Department receives no tax dollars and is funded entirely by dues, donations and the occasional grant. All firefighters and first responders are unpaid volunteers.

Dr. Jose Atiles joins OMC Urgent Care Clinic and Mtn. Grove Medical Complex Required IRA and 401(k) Withdrawal Rules for Retirees Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me the details on required IRA and 401(k) distributions? I turned 70 this year, and want to be clear on what I’m required to do, and when I’ll have to do it. Planning Ahead Dear Planning, The old saying “you can’t take it with you” is definitely true when it comes to Uncle Sam and your tax-deferred retirement accounts. Here’s what you should know about required retirement account distributions along with some tips to help you avoid extra taxes and penalties. RMD Rules Beginning at age 70½, the IRS requires all seniors that own tax-deferred retirement accounts – like traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SARSEPs, 401(k)s, 403(b) s and 457s – must start taking annual required minimum distributions (RMDs), and pay taxes on those withdrawals. The reason: The IRS doesn’t want you hoarding your money in these accounts forever. They want their cut. Distributions are taxed as income at your ordinary income tax rate. There are, however, two exceptions. Owners of Roth IRAs are not required to take a distribution, unless the Roth is inherited. And if you continue to work beyond age 70½, and you don’t own 5 percent or more of the company you work for, you can delay withdrawals from your employer’s retirement plan until after you retire. But if you have other non-work-related accounts, such as a traditional IRA or a 401(k) from a previous employer, you are still required to take RMDs from them after age 70½, even if you’re still working. RMD Deadlines Generally, you must take your distribution every year by Dec. 31. First timers, however, can choose to delay taking their distribution until April 1 of the year following the year you turn 70½. So, for example, if your 70th birthday was in March 2015, you would turn 70½ in September and your required beginning date would be April 1, 2016. But if your 70th birthday occurred later in the year, say in August, you wouldn’t turn 70½ until 2016. In that case, you would be required to take your first distribution by April 1, 2017. But be careful about delaying, because if you delay your first distribution, it may push you into a higher tax bracket because you must take your next distribution by December 31 of the same year. Also note that you can always withdraw more than the required amount, but if you don’t take out the minimum, you’ll be hit with a 50 percent penalty on the amount that you failed to withdraw, along with the income tax you owe on it. Distribution Amounts Your RMD is calculated by dividing your tax-deferred retirement account balance as of Dec. 31 of the previous year, by an IRS estimate of your life expectancy. A special rule applies if your spouse is the beneficiary and is more than 10 years younger than you. IRA withdrawals must be calculated for each IRA you own, but you can withdraw the money from any IRA or combination of IRAs. 403(b) accounts also allow you to total the RMDs and take them from any account or combination of accounts. With 401(k) plans, however, you must calculate the RMD for each plan and withdraw the appropriate amount from each account. To calculate the size of your RMD, you can use the worksheets on the IRS website – see irs.gov/RetirementPlans and click on “Required Minimum Distributions.” Or, contact your IRA custodian or retirement-plan administrator who can do the calculations for you. For more information, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “Distributions from Individual Retirement Arrangements” (publication 590-B), or see irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p590b.pdf.

Mercy celebrates 125 years in Mtn. View
It all began in 1891, when the Sisters of Mercy responded to a plea for help in the Ozarks. Three Sisters traveled from St. Louis to Springfield, turning an eight-room house into the town’s first hospital. Over the next 124 years, their healing ministry touched lives in several communities spanning southwest Missouri, including Mountain View. That’s where Sister M. Cornelia Blasko and a group of Daughters of St. Francis of Assisi paved the way in late 1950s for what is known today as Mercy St. Francis Hospital. “To this day, our part-
nership continues to bring health care to our rural community,” said Cindy Tooley, executive director of operations at Mercy St. Francis Hospital. “And we’re so honored and appreciative that we still have our Sisters by our side. They’re very much a part of our team, helping those who need it most.” Mercy Springfield Communities now includes six hospitals, three specialty hospitals, nearly 700 doctors, thousands of co-workers and clinic locations. Meanwhile, the mission remains the same: to bring to life the healing ministry of Jesus.

MDC: O'Fallon angler catches state-record skipjack herring James Lucas of O'Fallon became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he hooked a giant skipjack herring on the Sandy Slough using a rod and reel. Sandy Slough is a Mississippi River backwater area located next to the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Sandy Island Conservation Area. The new "pole and line" record skipjack herring caught by Lucas on Oct. 25 weighed 1 pound, 14 ounces with a length of 18 inches. Lucas used a white marabou Road Runner jig to catch the skipjack. "My friend Alex Helms and I were fishing for white bass that day, and out of nowhere I caught a giant skipjack," Lucas said. "The fish didn't put up much of fight, but thank goodness my friend Alex was with me to net the fish, because once it was in the net it spit out the jig." Lucas' recent record broke the previous pole and line state-record skipjack herring of 1 pound, 11 ounces caught on the Osage River in 2005. MDC staff verified the record-weight fish using a certified scale in the town of Defiance. Lucas is pretty familiar with holding state-records. He also holds the state-record for the skipjack herring in the alternative method. In 2009 Lucas snagged a 1-pound, 8.8-ounce skipjack herring on Sandy Slough and set the state-record.
"I still can't believe that I caught the giant skipjack," Lucas said. "I intentionally snagged one in 2009 to set the state-record, but catching a state-record skipjack with a rod and reel blows my mind. I never thought I would hold two state-records at the age of 24." The young angler plans on making a custom replica of the fish. Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line
and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl. Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish. For more information on state-record fish, visit the MDC website at huntfish. mdc.mo.gov/fishing/ trophies-certificates/staterecord-fish-list.

Liberty will need that defense on Saturday starting at 1:30pm as the Lamar Tigers arrive at the Nest in Mountain View. The four-time defending State Champions won their District with a 58-7 victory over Summit Christian. The Tigers will be the third team in a row that Liberty has faced in a rematch of sorts. In the past eight years, Strafford, Fair Grove, and Lamar have been responsible for ending the Eagles’ season. A victory by Liberty on Saturday would be sweet revenge against all three. It would also send the Liberty Eagles into the final four of the State tournament the following Saturday where they would play the winner of Lafayette and Brookfield. Other South Central Association teams still in the hunt for their State Championship include the Thayer Bobcats in Class 1. Thayer gets to host this Saturday as well with a game against Valle Catholic starting at 1:00PM. After defeating Salem on Friday, the Mountain Grove Panthers have a very winnable match-up as they travel to Aurora to face the Haun Dawgs on Saturday. The

From Page One West Plains Zizzers saw their season come to a close with a 45-12 loss to Webb City. The Liberty Eagles hope they get off to a quicker start against Lamar than they did on Friday, but once they got rolling, there was no stopping the Eagles. Liberty received the opening kickoff, picked up a quick first-down and drove into Fair Grove territory at the 39-yard line before their drive stalled. A tipped pass on fourth-down fell incomplete and the Eagles had to wait until their next possession. It didn’t take long as the Eagles defense stuffed Fair Grove in three plays, the last resulting in a 12-yard loss when the snap sailed over the quarterback. Fair Grove punted and the Eagles took over near mid-field. One play later it was 7-0 Liberty. It came on a pass to Marshall who raced 52-yards for the first score of the night. Fair Grove’s defense managed to stop the Eagles a couple of times for the rest of the quarter. Liberty was intercepted on a deep ball by Isaac Malton, and the Eagles had to punt the next time they had the
Not in Our House! Brenton Bush (8) and Cale Cornman (58) combine to drag down Fair Grove's quarterback Brayden Lumley (3). The Eagles defense got their first shut-out of the season and held Fair Grove to just 54 total yards. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)
ball. For their part, Fair Grove picked up a few first downs, but their next three possessions ended with punts. With 10:27 left in the half, however, the Eagles began hitting on big plays. Taking over at their own 40-yard line, Pruett hit Max Rudolph for a first down just inside Fair Grove territory. After the next two plays went nowhere, Pruett tossed a bubble screen to Raider on third and 10, and after breaking the first tackle, Raider was gone, flying down the field for Liberty’s second score and a 14-0 lead. Fair Grove came back with a drive of their own, starting at their own 37-yard line and marching to the Eagles 11-yard line after hitting on several pass plays. Liberty’s defense tightened however, and sacked quarterback Brayden Lumley on fourth down to end the scoring threat. Three plays later, Liberty scored again. The first play did most of the work after Pruett found Marshall again for a 69-yard pass to the Fair Grove four-yard line. Marcos Rodriguez plowed in for the score Fumble! The ball is loose after a hard hit from William on second and goal to give the Wilkins (52) and Chase Smith (60). (Photo: Standard/ Eagles a 20-0 lead. Two plays later it was 27-0 Wagner)
Liberty. Willy Wilkins made a huge hit to pop the ball loose on Fair Groves’ next play. Pruett recovered, and when the Eagles took over, Pruett passed to Raider who escaped for another touchdown. The Eagles defense stopped Fair Grove again, and with 1:29 left before halftime, Liberty went to the air and yet another bubble screen to Raider went for 37-yards and Orchard ran it across the goal line from three yards out to make it 34-0 by halftime. The third and fourth quarters were more of the same as Liberty’s defense stopped Fair Grove and the Eagles put together a nine-play drive for a 39-0 lead. As the minutes passed, and the turbo-clock in effect, Liberty found time for two more scoring drives. A three-play drive that ended with a 53-yard touchdown pass to Brenton Bush, and a final, grind-it-out drive that saw Rodriguez, Pruett, and Orchard pound the ball on the ground, finishing with an 11-yard scoring run by Orchard. With a 52-0 final score, the Eagles have knocked off two of their nemeses. The last of the three arrives on Saturday.
