At approximately 9:31 a.m. on March 18, 2016, a state trooper stopped an eastbound 2004 Chevrolet Silverado for following too closely on Interstate 44 at Missouri Route 744 in Greene County. Suspicious circumstances led to the trooper requesting and receiving consent to search the vehicle. The search revealed four kilograms of cocaine concealed inside the seats.

He was transported to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office in Springfield, MO.

Police say the missing Missouri teen found in a MinEric Shotwell erva man’s home had met him on an In-

ternet dating website called “SayHi.” After talking for a couple of months online, Eric T. Shotwell, 41, of 102 W. First St., reportedly drove to West Plains, Mo., picked her up and returned with her, “stopping at a couple of places along the way,” said Minerva Police Chief Robert First.

West Plains is in south-cen-

tral Missouri, north of the Arkansas border.

Police are trying to piece together what happened next, but the 14-year-old girl reportedly told officers when they found her Thursday at Stockwell’s home that she was scared and that he wouldn’t let her leave.

Shotwell was arrested at 3:46 p.m. Thursday at his

home, where officers found him with the missing juvenile, Stark County Jail records said. He was jailed on charges of kidnapping, assault and two counts of rape.

Missouri authorities say more charges are pending in their state.

Garden club birdhouses vandalized Mountain View is lucky to have a state award winning garden club. The members of this club work tirelessly to beautify downtown as well as provide programs to the healthcare and local elementary.

Despite these efforts, some person or persons took it upon themselves to vandalize one of the club’s bluebird houses. The post, baffle and house was damaged be-

yond repair and now has to be completely replaced. The damage was found directly South of the library in the riparian green space.

Long-time member of the garden club and past president Marty Toll told the Standard News, “It is disheartening to try and do something worthwhile and have it needlessly destroyed.

Missing Children’s Hospital to be treated and then to the Multi-County Juvenile Attention Center for a safe place to stay until Children’s Services could make arrangements with her mother to get her home.

Police believe that over the past week Shotwell sexually assaulted the girl and prevented her from leaving his home.

On Thursday, the girl placed “a brief phone call” to her mother, saying that she was afraid and that she didn’t know where she was, said Detective Joe Neuschwander of the West Plains, Mo., Police Department.

AT HOME Neighbors said that until last August Shotwell lived alone in the small white bungalow on the quiet residential street lined by small homes sporting neatly manicured lawns. Then he took in a roommate.

Mike Bauer had known Shotwell as a co-worker, having worked together about two years ago at Donor Care Center, a nearby telemarketing business.

“He messaged me on Facebook. He said he had a cheap room” for rent, Bauer said.

So Bauer moved in.

The two men had alternate shifts — when one was home, the other was at work.

Shotwell worked for his father at a bag manufacturing company in Canton and Bauer worked for a telemarketing firm in Jackson Township and, Bauer said, they rarely saw one another.

“He’d come home about a half hour before I’d leave (for work),” Bauer said.

When asked, he said .Shotwell did not work at his computer a lot, “no more than

From Page One anybody else.”

A week ago, Shotwell woke him, announcing he was leaving for a few days.

“He told me he was going to Wisconsin. He didn’t say why,” Bauer said. “It was in the middle of the night. That was weird.”

Police believe Shotwell drove to West Plains, which is in south-central Missouri just north of the Arkansas border, and picked up the teen on March 11.

Shotwell arrived in Minerva with the girl two days later — on March 13,

First said.

Bauer said Shotwell didn't explain her presence, and that neither Shotwell nor the girl spoke.

"He didn't talk much.

(When he was home,) they stayed in their room, or she stayed on the couch, I guess," he said. He maintained that he didn't even know the girl's name, even though she stayed home while Shotwell was at work. He also said that as far as he knew, the girl never left the house, and that Shotwell cooked her meals.

"I just stayed in my room,"

Fighting for the Constitution

President Obama has been handed over 20 unanimous, nine to zero defeats before the Supreme Court on his Administration’s illegal and unconstitutional actions. This makes one thing clear to us all; this president severely misunderstands the Constitution.

Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution reads: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.”

Article I explicitly states that the law-making power is vested in the legislative branch, not the executive branch.

President Obama has clearly interpreted the Constitution in a different way than the Framers intended. Instead of upholding and enforcing the laws passed by Congress, the president goes around Congress through regulation and executive orders, or ignores the will of the people all together. He continues to violate the Constitutional provision that the president is to ‘take care that the Laws be faithfully executed,’ an oath he swore to uphold.

Through executive order he has set his own policy agenda in everything from healthcare, energy and immigration. In 2014, against the will of Congress and the American people, President Obama issued executive amnesty to 5 million illegal aliens. Recently, it was revealed by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency that 124 illegal immigrant criminals, released from jail by the Obama Administration, have committed murder after their release. Further, only 3 percent of criminal illegal aliens arrested in 2014 were actually deported back to their home countries. Today, there are approximately 11 million illegal immigrants living in our country.

Not only did I vote to defund his executive amnesty action, but it was immediately challenged in the courts, by Texas and 25 other states. In April 2015, I along with my colleagues in the House supported the states challenge to the unconstitutional executive amnesty, by submitting a brief in support of the case, known as U.S. v. Texas. And just yesterday, I voted in the House to authorize Speaker Paul Ryan to also file a brief in the Supreme Court that the Administration has acted in a manner that is not consistent with their duties under the Constitution and laws of the United States.

This case is about much more than immigration policy; it vigorously defends the Article I authority of Congress, which has been violated by the president’s executive actions. This is an issue about Checks and Balances, the crucial founding principle of our nation, and it cannot be ignored.

Numerous times the president has spoken about how broken our political system is. He claims Democrats and Republicans won’t reach across the aisle to find bipartisan solutions to problems our country faces. However, his self-interested actions create partisan politics, instead of working with Congress to make real progress for the American people.

Throughout his tenure President Obama has ignored Congress and forgotten that the genesis of our Constitution was to escape a king, not to install one. Even though his tenure is winding to a close, Congress is in the unfortunate position of fighting the president to the bitter end. I will continue to fight against President Obama’s blatant disregard for our Constitution until the result is a restoration to the principles our country was founded on over 200 years ago.

he said, adding that he didn't even know his roommate had been arrested until the landlord knocked on his door Friday morning, waking him and telling him, "You've got to go." Bauer wasn't on the lease. So later Friday morning, he moved out.

The police chief said investigators, "at this point," do not believe Bauer played a role in the incident.

PINPOINTING MISSING GIRL'S LOCATION The girl initially had been reported missing from her home about 4:45 p.m. March 11. Her grandparents told police they saw her last at 2 p.m. that day, "believing that she was taking personal property to a neighbor's residence" but instead walked in the opposite direction, Neuschwander said in a news release Friday.

Police entered the information into the National Crime Information Center computer database, listing her as a "missing/runaway juvenile."

On Thursday, West Plains detectives discovered that she "had accessed an IP (internet provider) address using a Canadianbased texting application on her phone, while she was in the northeast Ohio area," Neuschwander said.

"Through investigative means," he said, they pinpointed the address as being in Minerva.

"Detectives were able to obtain further information and identified the Internet subscriber at the given location," he said.

They notified Minerva police, who went to Shotwell's house, but no one came to the door.

At some point, the girl contacted her mother.

Her mom called police at 2:46 p.m., saying the girl had called, telling her that "she was afraid and didn't know where she was at," Neuschwander said. West Plains detectives called Minerva police again.

Minerva officers went to Shotwell's home again and found Shotwell with the girl.

At 3:34 p.m., Minerva Officer Chuck Kopp called West Plains detectives to report that the teen was "safe and presently in custody," Neuschwander said, adding that he wanted to thank Minerva police as well as Carroll and Tuscarawas county sheriff's deputies, who assisted in the investigation.

His department and Minerva's continued to

investigate later Friday.

Neuschwander said that in addition to the Ohio charges, charges are pending from the Howell County, Mo., Prosecutors Office

"for crimes committed" in Missouri.

Shotwell remained in the jail early Friday, held in lieu of $51,000 bond pending a court hearing.

“A drama that will shake your soul.” That’s the slogan for a 90-minute, evangelistic play that is coming to Mountain View Christian Church on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, April 9-10-11. The play is called, “The Battle,” and for the eighth year in a row, expect to see special effects, video, music, and over 50 cast and crew members at The Battle tries to shake the souls of those in attendance.

It often succeeds. The drama depicts scenes of life, death, heaven and hell as characters often find themselves in front of heaven to discover their eternal destiny. From intense moments of heartache and drama, to humorous moments and laughter, the Battle takes audiences through a range of emotions and has helped to make it a popular event each year.

“Last year we broke the record for how many attended, and how many made decisions for Christ,” explained Brian Ingalls, the senior minister of Mountain View Christian Church, “And each year we rewrite it completely so that it’s new and different. At the same time, though, the message always stays the same, and that message is Jesus.”

Based on a literal under-

standing of the Bible, the drama presents hell as a real place, and faith in Jesus as necessary for gaining entrance into heaven. As various scenes take place on stage, background music and video are interwoven throughout. Even indoor pyrotechnic flashes are used along with other effects. The result is a drama that draws the audience into an intense performance that focuses on death, the afterlife, and the biblical teaching on salvation. Due to the intensity of many scenes, the play is not recommended for children under eight years of age. Parents are asked to use discretion.

“There’s only so much a play can do,” said Ingalls, “But we can hopefully give us all something to think about, and provide an opportunity for people to think seriously about their relationship with God, and take everyone on a crazy ride.”

Admission is free for anyone wishing to see The Battle, but due to the large numbers who attend, Mountain View Christian Church recommends that church groups reserve seats by calling 417-934-6843, or by registering online at www. ijesus.me. Just be prepared to have your soul shaken.

The Battle is coming April 9, 10, 11

Remembering Jesus’ Sacrifice

It’s that time of the year, when the winter chill and dreary clouds make way for blue spring skies and comfortable weather. The magnolia trees here at the Capitol are in full bloom, with their beautiful pink buds opening up to greet the sun and passersby. This is one of my favorite seasons, as the whole state seems to breathe a sense of rebirth, growth and peace.

The Senate adjourned for Spring Break this past week, and will re-commence the week after the Easter holiday. Every year I use this legislative break to spend more time with my family and friends, and to give thanks for all the wonderful people in my life that I am lucky to have around me. I hope that you, too, will take advantage of the upcoming holiday to see and thank the people who are important to you.

The Easter festival is the oldest and most important celebration within the Christian church. The holiday symbolizes Jesus’ rebirth and triumph over death, when he arose from the grave and proved to the world that he was the true Savior. Over the past 2,000 years, Christians all over the world have remembered Jesus’ sacrifice by joining together with their relatives, friends and church families to give thanks for the Savior’s sacrifice and celebrate the blessings they have received.

In the end, it doesn’t really matter how you celebrate this upcoming weekend. During this holiest of weeks, just try to take in the beauty of our wonderful state and the people within it. Give thanks for your loved ones, the warm weather, Missouri’s natural beauty and your freedom. Take the time to go on a hike, or to stop and smell the flowers that are now in bloom. Above all, remember the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us so long ago, and be thankful and hopeful for the future.

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.

Looking Back Through the eyes of the Standard News

Standard News Archive - October 29, 2014 - Congressman Jason Smith visited Winona on Friday, Oct. 24.

He toured Paramount Apparel International, Inc. Pictured above, Smith hears from Plant Manager David Proctor. "For more than 60 years Paramount Apparel has been a part of our community," said Congresman Smith. "Through that time the manufacturing sector has seen many changes.

In Missouri, manufacturing jobs employ 250,000 people and make up more than nine percent of the state's private sector workforce (not including farming).

In Washington, Congressman Smith has been fighting to get burdensome, irrational regulation out of the way so that businesses can innovate and expand. "As I visit businesses here in the district I am so impressed with the products coming out of southern Missouri. I've had the chance to hear directly from the business owners and employees working to continue the tradition of American craftsmanship."

Wanda was a single parent until she met the love of her life, Freeman Hunt. They were united in marriage May 30th, 1980 in Texas County.

Even though their time together was short they could

be found hunting and fishing. They shared many long nights coon hunting. Hunting was one of her favorite hobbies.

Wanda had such a green thumb that everything she touched grew and bloomed.

In the summers Wanda could be found working in her flower beds tending her beautiful flowers.

Wanda was a member of the Hartshorn Assembly of God Church. She enjoyed attending with her family.

As her grandchildren grew Wanda could be found attending numerous volleyball, basketball and football games. She enjoyed cooking for the many tailgate parties.

She was the number one fan of the kids sports. She never missed a game until her health would not allow her to attend. Then she would just listen on the radio.

Wanda is preceded in death by Freeman Hunt her husband, three brothers, Charles Dean Lemons, Howard Lemons, and Wayne Stoops, parents Susie Lowell Stoops and Louie Raymond (Buck) Stoops.

Wanda is survived by one brother Willard Stoops and wife Treva of Yellville, Arkansas, two sisters-in-law Irene Stoops of Marshall, Arkansas, and Ruth Ann Lemons of Troy, Missouri; two

Walter Louverne Nicholson Walter Louverne “Louverne” Nicholson, 87, passed away on March 14, 2016, at Birch Tree Place, Birch Tree, Missouri, after suffering with immune deficiencies and an extended battle with pneumonia. Louverne was being visited and comforted by his wife and family members.

Louverne was born in Midwest, Wyoming, on January 10, 1929, to Erma Lucille (Anderson) Nicholson and Walter Alex Nicholson, the first of three children.

When he was three years old, the family moved to Montier, Missouri, where he grew up and began his first entrepreneurial enterprise hunting and trapping rabbits for ten cents.

When Louverne was 16 years old, the family moved back out west to Hulett, Wyoming, where he made the basketball team, completed high school, and discovered girls.

He married Betty Bernice Hedger on August 21, 1949. For sixteen more years he worked closely with his dad, brother, and brotherin-law to develop businesses in sawmilling, logging and marketing timber products to Homestake Mining Company. They purchased several places for timber that were

later transitioned into ranches for raising Hereford cattle.

In the summer of 1966, he moved his family back to Birch Tree, Missouri, and began the dream of his life: to own his own place and raise the perfect cow. He spent the rest of his life working on this. To help it along, he spent a few years working in Alaska to build the nest egg that would assure the dream.

His passion was cattle and coffee. He also loved to hunt elk and fish for trout. He was a builder, cattle rancher, gardener and teller of stories. He loved people. His favorite pastime was going for coffee every morning at one of several favorite restaurants, and hearing the latest story, again! Running a close second was going to the cattle auction each Wednesday at the West Plains Sale Barn.

Louverne was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Erma Nicholson, and his brother-in-law, Lynn Barnes.

Louverne is survived by his wife, Betty; his three children, Leonard Nicholson, Larry Nicholson and Bonnie Nicholson Triplett; brother Denny Nicholson; sister, Emma Nicholson Barnes; nine grandchildren: Teri Nicholson Levi, Lee

Nicholson, Lonnie Nicholson, Kimberly Nicholson, Luke Nicholson, Kaydon Nicholson, Jeremy Triplett, Chris Triplett, and Laura Triplett Box; nineteen great-grandchildren: Fatu Levi, Brandon Levi, Hannah Levi, Layne Nicholson, Lynlee Nicholson, Lauryn Nicholson, Chandler Nicholson, Jeremiah Nicholson, Leif Nicholson, Logan Nicholson, Lincoln Nicholson (twins), Jacen Triplett, Zackery Triplett, Natalie Triplett, Cooper Triplett, Alexander Box, Emma Box, Lyndsey Box, and Rebekah Box; and one great-great-granddaughter, Moana Levi.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Louverne’s name to St. Jude’s Children Hospital.

Mtn. View Garden Club: Through the Garden Gate If you have driven through downtown Mountain View in the last couple of weeks and wondered what those funny looking things were under the birdhouses we have the answer. Those are sections of stovepipes that have been adapted to be predator baffles for the bluebird houses.

Most of us know that the Eastern Bluebird is Missouri’s state bird. It has appeared on special Missouri vehicle license plates and

is known for their ability to eat insects. Bluebird numbers have declined over the past years. In order to help these birds, many people and groups have put up bluebird houses and established bluebird trails.

There is even a Missouri Bluebird Society that has information about almost everything bluebird.

The biggest problem with bluebirds using houses is predators like raccoons, squirrels and black snakes eating the eggs or baby

birds. Baffles keep these critters from getting into the bluebird house. There are several different styles of baffles. All of them are designed to protect the nest. The Bluebird Society recommends regular cleaning and maintenance of the houses and the use of baffles for predator control. In fact, they say if you are not going to do these things, it would be better not to even put up a bluebird house.

The Mountain View Garden Club has over 30 blue-

At a enjoy seeing these lovely birds workshop in early March 16 members and volunteers assembled the baffles and mounted the houses on poles rather than being on trees. A generous downtown merchant sold us the stovepipes at cost. Even then, counting the cost of the house, each unit costs over $25. We did 11 of them this spring and plan on doing more next year.

around town. We don’t think they will mind the funny thing hanging below their house if it keeps their family safe.

“The sting was set up but the male backed out at the last minute,” stated SRO Josh Ashlock. “However, by this time we had obtained his location.” The male was apprehended by the West Plains Police Department for multiple unrelated felony crimes.

While the female was not real and no actual crime were committed due to early ap-

prehension, this could have happened to any young child that may not have been so lucky as to have the predator apprehended before anything happened.

“We strongly urge all parents to be interactive with your children and warn them about the risks of online predators,” SRO Ashlock explained. “Predators are in ar-

eas no one would expect and are much closer to home than we would like.”

SRO Ashlock went on to state for parents to speak with their children and educate them on what an online predator is and how they lure children in with grandiose promises. Be involved with your children and know exactly who they are speaking

to online so that this doesn’t happen to your child.

If you suspect a child predator is speaking with your child, immediately terminate the conversations and report to your local police department. With everyone’s help and paying close attention to online interactions we can help reduce these types of disturbing crimes.

The unofficial voter turnout for the Missouri Presidential Preference Primary election was a record 38.86%. More than 1.5 million registered Missouri voters turn out. The 2008 Presidential Preference Primary set a record with approximately 1.4 million votes and 36% turnout.

Leading by less than half a percentage point, the race to win Missouri was so close

that the Secretary of State’s office has not officially declared a winner.

“I want to thank the Missourians who made it to the polls to participate in our democracy and make their voices heard yesterday,” Secretary of State Jason Kander said. “I especially want to thank the local election authorities and poll workers for their hard work

in the days leading up to the election and especially on Election Day itself.”

Not included in the unofficial turnout numbers are provisional and overseas absentee ballots, which will be tallied when the election is certified. According to state law, final results will be certified approximately four weeks after Election Day. This fact along with the

Missouri Law allowing the candidate who came in second can request a recount if the margin of victory is less than half a percentage point, leaving Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders to request a recount.

Unofficial state-wide results have Hillary Clinton winning the Democratic Party with 310,602 votes (49.611%); Bernie Sanders was a close second with

Letter to the Editor

My name is Bruce Carr and I have lived in Mountain View for over 20 years.

I’ve been going to the Mountain View Senior Center for about three months. Even though I am not yet a senior citizen I have enjoyed my time there. I’ve met a lot of new, interesting people.

They offer different classes like art, line dancing, Swedish weaving, crocheting and so forth. They are open from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. On Wednesdays they offer biscuits and gravy starting at 7 p.m. The meals are nutritious, well balanced and healthy. They offer a monthly menu with a choice of two entrees. There is fresh or canned fruit offered as diabetic choice as your dessert.

Your lunch includes coffee, tea, milk and cocoa. Since I have been going there I have been impressed how helpful and professional Charlotte Davis and Caroline Aquirre are.

Spring outlook in Missouri another coin toss Missouri’s weather has a reputation for unpredictability, which gave rise to the saying, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change.”

That adage appears to be holding true this spring. The outlook from the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center is for drier weather northeast of Missouri and wetter conditions to the southwest, said University of Missouri Extension climatologist Pat Guinan. “That puts Missouri in a corridor of essentially equal chances of above-, below- and near-normal precipitation.”

So far, the mild weather is visiting much of Missouri. But

it’s only March, and Guinan says that could be a problem.

Rising soil temperatures are coaxing plants out of dormancy, but a damaging hard freeze is still possible. It’s happened before.

The median frost-free date is around the second or third week of April for the Ozarks and mid- and northern Missouri. For far southeastern Missouri, the median frost-free date is the end of March through the first week of April. For a guide to frost/freeze probabilities in Missouri, go to http://ipm.missouri.edu/frostfreezeguide/.

Even though we may not know exactly what to expect this spring, Missouri did set records for the 2015-16 winter.
