Bomb threat at Walmart MSHP Bomb Squad dismantles container
The City of Mtn. View experienced a bomb threat on Tuesday, December 1. The call came into the Mtn. View Police Department at 10:55 p.m. from the Mtn. View Walmart. Officers Honeycutt and Roberts responded to Walmart where the manager advised that the device, which had been brought forward by an associate, was sitting on the counter.
The device was found in the automotive aisle of Walmart. Officers reported that the device had a fuse sticking out of a plastic container and it had a dark colored substance attached to it. Officers then contacted the MVPD Chief of Police Jamie Perkins who advised them to treat it as though it were a valid bomb threat. The building was then cleared
and the Missouri State Highway Patrol Bomb Squad was contacted. Mercy EMS and the Mtn. View Fire Department staged an emergency area at Mercy St. Francis Hospital and Signal parking lots. The bomb squad arrived a 2:23 a.m. where they were immediately briefed of the situation and evaluated the device. Shortly after, the bomb squad dismantled it and tested the substance within. The device was deemed a hoax. The building was then searched and no other devices were found. The Standard News questioned MVPD Chief Jamie Perkins who stated that the device, “Something was there but the person(s) did not have the correct ingredients for an

Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, federal tax payments mailed to an Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box in St. Louis or Atlanta will be returned to the sender. These post office boxes were closed in 2012 and mail will no longer be forwarded. The IRS asks taxpayers in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia who have mailed payments to one of these addresses in the past to use the address in the payment notice or letter. The correct mailing address for payments depends on the taxpayer’s state of residency and can be found at Where to File on IRS.gov. To avoid delays and returned payments taxpayers are encouraged to use IRS Direct Pay, a fast, secure and easy way to pay tax bills directly from a checking or savings account. You’ll also receive instant confirmation that your payment has been made.

Two Searcy, Arkansas men have been arrested and charged in connection to a cattle theft from the Ozark Regional Stockyard in West Plains. According to reports on
line. It was a learning experience for the new faces that take the court for Liberty. “Some of those kids haven’t had a lot of championship experience,” explained Brown, “They might have been on the bench but as far as just playing, you look at Corbin and Josh –I think they’re the only two with a lot of experience from the past year. And then we got off to a horrible start…and battled back to get it to 31-30 at (the) half.” The Eagles nearly pulled off the comeback. In the first four games of the season, it was Liberty who started with the lead. Big first quarters, scoring 21 in the first eight minutes against Twin Rivers, West County, and Dora, plus a 16-12 lead over Alton, had put the pressure on the opponents. Against Thayer in the championship, the pressure was on the Eagles, and for the most part they responded. “We’ve got about seven or eight guys,” said Brown, speaking about how the new players have responded, “You know our eighth man Devin Hedden led us in scoring the first round game. We’re real balanced. I don’t think we’ll ever have a guy who’s going to average 20 but we’ve got five or six guys who can get anywhere from 10-15, so we’re on the right track.” The balance comes from new names including Matthew Coatney, Corbin De-
wick, Shalin Stout, Josh Pruett, Kohletin Briggs, Brenton Bush, Koel Orchard, Devin Hedden, and Dalton Richardson. Younger players such as Andrew Holden, Tyler Dewick, and Brodyn Kenaga are making their mark on the Junior Varsity as well. Both Corbin Dewick and Matthew Coatney have averaged scoring in double figures over the first five games. Dewick is scoring at a pace of 17-points a game, helped by a 32-point outburst against West County at the Current River Shootout in Van Buren. Coatney, who led the team in scoring against Thayer with 16 points, has averaged almost 14 a game so far. Everyone has been getting into the act, however. Hedden came off the bench to lead the team with 15 points against Dora, and after five games, the Eagles have had at least eight players score in all but one. In the first contest of the season at the Shoot-out in Van Buren, Liberty jumped out to an 10-point lead in the first quarter against Twin Rivers, and held on to win in a physical game. The Eagles had 19 foul shots in the first half alone, and 24 more in the second half as two players fouled out for Twin Rivers. Liberty took advantage, especially in the second half, making 17 of those 24 and taking a 62-57 victory. Briggs and Dewick led the team with 15 points

Who are these guys anyway? It’s a brand new Liberty Eagles basketball season, and with five brand new starters, the Eagles have quickly put together a 4-1 record, collected a second-place trophy, and averaged almost 70 points a game. Despite the early returns, however, a lot of work remains to be done if the Eagles are going to achieve what they hope to achieve. “Pick a subject,” said Eagles Head Coach Rob Brown when asked what the team needs to work on going forward. “I think we’ll be find in the long run…we’re looking at February down the road. They’re a good group of kids. They get along pretty well. Everybody seems to know their roles. As far as maturing into a pretty good team, I think they’ll get there in time.” The work left to do was made clear in last Saturday’s championship matchup against the Thayer Bobcats at the River County Chevrolet Tournament at Thayer. After falling behind early and having to fight their way back, the Eagles were eventually buried under an avalanche of free throws. Most of those came from Ayden Henry who finished the night with 38 points, including sinking 14 out of 14 from the
each. Coatney finished with 10 points. Liberty went back to Van Buren the following day for a match-up against West County, and after another fast start, the Eagles led 2114 at the end of the first quarter, and 39-27 by halftime. Dewick was on fire with 16 points in the first half, and 16 more in the second. Coatney was sinking eight of nine from the free-throw line, and Stout was consistent all night, eventually finishing with 11 points. Despite eight 3-point shots by West County in the second half, Liberty managed to keep pace and finish with an 80-74 hardfought victory. The early wins set the tone and raised the expectations for the Eagles as they entered the tournament at Thayer last week. The first game did nothing to change that as Liberty dominated the Dora Falcons as much as any basketball team can. Led by Coatney, Dewick, and Hedden, the Eagles outscored Dora 49-3 in the first half giving up just one basket and one free-throw. The Falcons managed a bit of offense in the second half, but with five three-pointers in the game, Devin Hedden totaled as much as the entire Dora team. The Eagles, with the help of the mercy clock in the fourth quarter, cruised to a 75-15 win in the tournament’s See Eagles on Page 5

Upcoming Events Local author to discuss his book at Friends meeting Dec. 11 Local author Robert H. Williams will discuss his book, Billy’s War, at the Friends of the Garnett Library monthly luncheon meeting Friday, Dec. 11, on the Missouri State-West Plains campus. Williams, a Missouri native, is a retired rector and career chaplain with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. “Always interested in the American Civil War, his first historical novel showcases the life and times of his Northern Missouri ancestors who lived in the area that became infamous as the site of the “Border Wars,” and the fate of those who struggled through the area’s most turbulent events,” according to a description from the book’s publisher, Yarnspinner Press. Williams was the vicar at All Saints Episcopal Church in West Plains from 1970 to 1974. After leaving West Plains, he joined the Chaplains Corps of the U.S. Navy, eventually retiring with the rank of captain. After he returned to civilian life, he became the rector at Epiphany Parish in Seattle, Washington. He moved back to West Plains following his retirement and served as interim rector at All Saints from 2006-2007. The luncheon and meeting will take place from noon to 1 p.m. in rooms 104 and 105 on the lower level of the Lybyer Technology Center. Parking is available in the lot off Cass Avenue on the north side of the building. Cost of the meal is $10, payable at the door. Those wishing to eat are asked to make a reservation by calling 417-255-7940 or emailing FriendsofGarnettLibrary@MissouriState.edu by Tuesday, Dec. 8.

This will be the local Home Builders’ 24th annual Home & Garden Show. Their first Home & Garden Show was the first event to be held in the then newly built Civic Center, according to Thomason.

It is the largest annual “marketplace”
for home and garden products and services in this area. The Show is the major fundraiser for the not-for-profit organization’s activities and charities that include the local chapters of Habitat for Humanity and CASA, as well as renovation projects, including the Abigail’s House in Mountain View and the Parkside House in West Plains. There are approximately 120 booth spaces available for the Show, and Thomason said that 12 or less spaces for the 2016 Home & Garden Show are still available at this time. “If you have been waiting until closer to March to contact us for your booth, don’t wait much longer”, he advised.

Energy Regulations Impact the Heartland
Last Friday, while we were all deep in Thanksgiving leftovers, thinking no one was watching, President Obama unveiled a new deluge of regulations that will hit rural America hard. Of the more than 20,000 proposed new regulations, 144 are expected to cost the economy $100 million each. This comes at the same time Barack Obama is at the U.N. climate conference in Paris signing America up for global regulations on energy production. In another effort to sidestep Congress, they have declared that any deal agreed to in Paris will not be considered an international treaty subject to congressional approval, but instead a binding agreement. That is why this week I helped offer a resolution in the U.S. House requiring that any agreement made by the president in Paris seek the advice, approval and consent of Congress. It’s clear that the policies President Obama has been pushing will make energy more costly for rural America. The EPA has plans to unleash new and unvetted air quality standards that could likely put all 30 counties in our Eighth Congressional District out of compliance. These new standards written by bureaucrats in Washington would even classify the Mark Twain National Forest as uncompliant due to carbon released by the trees. Implementing the changes would cost Missouri alone $1.9 billion. One of the rules the president is pushing forward which will have serious implications for Missouri is his so-called “Clean Power Plan” rule. Our state gets more than 83 percent of its energy from coal power and this plan will drastically increase the price of energy for rural families and businesses. This is why on Tuesday we passed two resolutions in the House with my support which would prevent implementation of the president’s ill-conceived power rules. In addition to the new power rules, the Obama EPA is also trying to go around Congress to regulate everyday occurrences like farm dust, smoke from barbeque grills and even put new regulations on wood burning stoves. In our area, about 30,000 households use wood heat to warm their homes. Trying to limit how often Americans can use heat provided by a wood stove will have a drastic impact on rural America. That is why on Thursday the U.S. House passed my amendment to eliminate this expensive new regulation and help keep energy affordable and available to folks that need it. It has become all too common for this president to try and subvert Congress and the Constitution by passing his agenda through presidential fiat. Whether it’s trying to push through new energy standards which have already been rejected by Congress or trying to regulate every river, stream, lake and pond on a farm there is no end to this president’s efforts to circumvent the other branches of government. Passing my amendment Thursday is a good step, but we must continue to fight back against the president’s disastrous plans because Missouri and all of rural America depends on it.

Funeral services for Dorothy M. Martin were held Saturday, December 5, 2015 at the Duncan Funeral Chapel in Winona, MO with Bro. Don Harvey officiating. Pallbearers were Willie Brewer, Robert Brewer, James Weaver, James Bradford, Charles Brewer, and Greg Smotherman. Interment was in Mt. Zion Cemetery in Winona, MO under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home of Winona, MO. Dorothy Maxine Martin was born March 23, 1929 at Birch Tree, MO the daughter of Clarance Smotherman and Ethel (Williams) SmotherMary Lou McGalliard was born August 5, 1944 at Denton, TX the daughter of James Henry Knox and Lois (Bennett) Knox.

first round. It would get tougher the rest of the way, however. Alton put up a better fight thanks to Jed Edwards sinking eight of ten free-throws in the first half. The Eagles nevertheless led 33-25 at halftime, and kept that margin for most of the second half, taking a 64-55 victory over the Comets to advance to the championship against Thayer. The scary thing, is Coach Brown sees a lot of room for improvement. “Offensively we’re not executing real well. We’re getting impatient at times. We want to score right after one pass instead of relaxing and waiting for the defense to break down. It’ll break down if we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing.” The flaws became apparent in the championship as the Eagles fell behind 16-4 after the first-quarter. Liberty fought back thanks to three-pointers by Coatney, Bush, and Hedden. That allowed the Eagles to get back into the game with a 26-point explosion in the second quarter. By the end of the third, the Eagles were still

Barry Odom to replace Gary Pinkel by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Last week Missouri named defensive coordinator Barry Odom to replace Gary Pinkel as its head football coach. Georgia hired alum Kirby Smart and South Carolina hired Will Muschamp, so all three SEC East head coach openings were filled with defensive coordinators. As with most new things, there is a mix of excitement and concern about the new, unknown era lying ahead. It’s still a little hard to think about someone else as head coach of the Tigers after 15 years of Pinkel. First, the good news. Odom is a Mizzou alum. At 39, he is relatively young for a head coach. So if this works and he is successful at Missouri, he could be the Tigers’ head coach for decades. Odom is good at what he does, coaching defenses. Odom was defensive coordinator for Memphis from 2012 to 2014. Mem-
phis gave up 35.1 points per game in 2011. Under Odom, they trimmed that to 30.3, 24.6 and 19.5 points per game. Then this year, as defensive coordinator at Missouri, the Tigers performed very well despite getting little help from the offense. On the concern side, Odom has no previous college head coaching experience. Gary Barnett, another Missouri alum who won conference titles coaching at Northwestern and Colorado, has talked about how overwhelming his first year as a head coach was and how it wasn’t until his third or fourth year he started getting the feel for it. If Odom did not have Mizzou ties, his resume would probably not yet be enough to land an SEC head coach job. But that’s not to say he isn’t the right guy for the job. One of the keys will be assembling the right coaching staff around him, and Odom seemed to be wasting no time deciding whom to keep and where to look for new coaches.
However Odom’s tenure works out, 2016 will be a challenge right out of the gate for the new coach. Missouri is coming off its fewest conference wins of any season under Pinkel, winning just one SEC game before losing seven straight in SEC play. The Tigers have to replace linebacker Kentrell Brothers, who had one of the great individual season in Missouri football history, and center Evan Boehm, who was an anchor on an offensive line that struggled this year. The schedule is also challenging. Missouri’s rotating SEC West game is a trip to LSU’s vaunted “Death Valley,” and Missouri has a tough nonconference opener at West Virginia. Road trips to rising East powers Florida and Tennessee look tough. Missouri does have three absolute pushover home nonconference opponents, plus Vanderbilt and Kentucky at home. The Tigers likely need to go 5-0 in those games to have a decent season, but they lost to both Vandy and Kentucky this year. Tiger fans are probably eager to put this 5-7 season behind them, and new coach debuts are always fascinating.

Only two weeks remain before the Dec. 15 healthcare enrollment deadline How to Make Your Kitchen Safer and Easier to Use Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend for making a kitchen senior-friendly? My wife, who loves to cook, has had several kitchen-related accidents over the past year, which is why we would like to modify to make it safer and more practical. Hungry Husband Dear Hungry, There are a number of simple modifications and inexpensive add-ons that can make a big difference in making your kitchen more age-friendly. Depending on your wife’s needs, here are some tips for each aspect of the kitchen. Floors: If you have kitchen throw rugs, to reduce tripping or slipping, replace them with non-skid floor mats or consider gel mats, which are cushiony and more comfortable to stand on for long periods. GelPro.com and WellnessMats. com offer a nice selection. Lights: If the lighting in her kitchen is dim, replace the old overhead fixture with a bright new ceiling light, and add under-cabinet task lighting to brighten up her kitchen countertops. Cabinets and drawers: To reduce bending or reaching, organize your kitchen cabinets and drawers so that the items you most frequently use are within comfortable reach. You can also make your cabinets and pantry easier to access by installing pullout shelves or lazy susans. And D-shaped pull-handles for the cabinets and drawers are also recommended because they’re more comfortable for arthritic hands to grasp than knobs. Faucet: If you have a twist-handle kitchen faucet, replace it with an ADA compliant single handle faucet. They’re easier to use, especially for seniors with arthritis or limited hand strength. There are also kitchen faucets on the market today (like the Delta Touch20 faucet and Moen MotionSense) that will turn themselves on and off by simply touching the base or moving your hand over a motion sensor. And, for safety purposes, set your hot water tank at 120 degrees to prevent possible water burns. Microwave and stove: If your microwave is mounted above the stove, consider moving it to a countertop. This makes it safer and easier to reach. And if you’re concerned about your wife remembering to turn the stove off, there are automatic stove shut-off devices you can purchase and install to prevent a fire. See cookstop.com, stoveguardintl.com and pioneeringtech.com for some different options. If you’re looking to upgrade some of your appliances too, here are some different senior-friendly features you should look for when shopping. Refrigerator and freezer: Side-by-side doors work well for seniors because the frequently used items (refrigerated and frozen) can be placed at mid-shelf range for easy access. Pullout adjustable height shelves and a water/ice dispenser on the outside of door are also very convenient. Stove or cooktop: Look for one with controls in the front so you won’t have to reach over hot burners to turn it off, and make sure the controls are easy to see. Flat surface electric or induction burners, or continuous grates on gas stoves are also great for sliding heavy pots and pans from one burner to the next. And ask about automatic shut off burners. Oven: Self-cleaning ovens are a plus, and consider a sideswing door model. They’re easier to get into because you don’t have to lean over a hot swing-down door. Also consider a wall-mounted oven, installed at your wife’s preferred height to eliminate bending. Dishwasher: Consider a dishwasher drawer that slides in and out, and is installed on a 6 to 10-inch raised platform. These require less bending to load and unload. Washer and dryer: Front-load washers and dryers with pedestals that raise the height 10 to 15 inches are also back-savers and easy to access. 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.

Cattle steers were stolen from the stockyard. Video surveillance showed that at approximately 4 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11 a two-tone full-size Ford truck pulling a Gooseneck trailer occupied by at least two individuals parked at the East side of the sale barn. The unknown suspects loaded the four steers. The video shows the truck, thought to be a 2004 or 2005 Ford dark over light truck, pulling a trailer which is believed to be approximately 30 feet long. The trailer had three axles, and all wheels were black with the exception of the passenger side rear wheel,

On Tuesday, December 1, 2015 an Ozark Regional Stockyard employee reported to the West Plains Police Department that he witnessed what he believed was the truck and trailer used in the cattle theft at the Flash Market, located at the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 63 and State Route 14 in West Plains.

MDC reports CWD found in Franklin County The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that an adult, male, white-tailed deer harvested by a hunter in Franklin County has tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). According to MDC, this is the first case of the deadly deer disease to be found in Franklin County. Since 2012, the disease has also been detected in free-ranging deer from Adair, Cole, and Macon counties. Chronic Wasting Disease infects only deer and other members of the deer family by causing degeneration of brain tissue, which slowly leads
to death. The disease has no vaccine or cure and is 100-percent fatal. While the Department does not expect shortterm population impacts from the disease, research from other states impacted by the disease shows that CWD can have serious long-term consequences to the health of a state’s deer herd. For more information on Chronic Wasting Disease, where else it has been found in Missouri, what hunters and other can do to help limit its spread, and MDC’s current CWD testing efforts and results, visit the Department website at mdc.mo.gov/CWD.

A criminal history revealed that Smith was a felon and Parks was not. Both Smith and Parks were arrested and read the Miranda Right. Smith admitted he stole the four steers from the Ozarks Regional Stockyard on or about November 11, 2015.
