Mercy is once again joining forces with the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce to sponsor the annual Easter Vol. 108 - Issue 9 egg hunt on the lawn of the hospital, located at 100 W. US Highway 60. The Easter Bunny will be there along with 3,000 hidden eggs. Kids will search with their own age groups: ages 13, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. One lucky hunter in each group

Spring clean-up April 14-18
On December 11, 2013, the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control, was asked by Ray County Sheriff Gary Bush to assist with a death investigation. On December 10, 2013, the Ray County Sheriff’s Office was notified by telephone of a structure fire, which was later determined to be a trailer located in Orrick, Missouri. Two children, Roger Garrison, age 3, and Ashton Garrison, age 1, were found dead inside the trailer. As a result of the subsequent investigation by investigators with the Division of Drug and Crime Control, Ray County Sheriff’s Office, the Missouri State Fire Marshall’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, a warrant was obtained and Randy M. Garrison, 31, of Orrick, Missouri, was arrested for two charges of abandonment of a child in the first degree - a Class B felony. Garrison is being held at the

Missouri ends season with second-round NIT loss by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Missouri’s season came to a close on Sunday afternoon at Mizzou Arena, when the Tigers lost 71-63 to Southern Mississippi in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. Southern Miss (29-6) had the highest Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) ranking of all teams that didn’t get in the NCAA Tournament, and they looked like the better team on Sunday. The Golden Eagles built a lead in the first half, and then held off the Tigers each time Missouri made a run. Southern Miss is not a particularly huge team, but they controlled the game inside and won the rebounding battle. Missouri did make seven of its 14 three-point attempts in the game. In his final game as a Missouri Tiger, Earnest Ross scored 22
points on 6-of-9 shooting. The Tigers were able to rally from a double-digit deficit in their first NIT game, against Davidson, but could not repeat that against Southern Miss. It was Missouri’s first home loss to a non-conference opponent since falling to Sam Houston State in the first game of the 2005-06 season, known to those of us who were there as the Ryan Bright game. Missouri ended the season with a 23-12 record. It was a disappointing season, as is usually the case when Missouri misses the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers could have made this year’s Big Dance with just a few more wins against lesser opponents. Missouri finished in a three-way tie for sixth in what we’ll call a fairly pedestrian Southeastern Conference. The Tigers had two players with pro potential, and they still could not make it into
Ladies who met for quilting and fellowship on March 20th were Darlene Kenaga, Elda Phelps, Lynette Foster, Pauline Henry, Viola Pearl Henry, Sally Cooley and her sisters, Alice and Emma from Arkansas. Bob Henry came for lunch. The next quilting will be April 3rd. Bob and Pauline Henry attended two birthday parties last weekend. One for their youngest great-grandson Jayce Stephens who had his first at the Mountain View Family Youth Center and one for their oldest great-grandson Karter Greenen who had his 16th birthday at home. Mike and Rhonda Henry attended a birthday party for Jessie Henry on Tuesday with Ronnie, Kaidyn and Kaelyn Henry, Shawn and Valene Pringle and Landon Hines, Cody and Angie Miller, Linda Webb and Sandy Martin. We had several deaths in the community last week. Cody Miller’s great-grandfather Orvis Randleman; Jessie Henry’s
grandfather Tee Barton and Rhonda Henry’s grandmother Elnore Webb. Our thoughts and prayers go to all family members for their loss. We had a great church service on Sunday. Our choir is really good. They are bringing new music and really adding to our church service. I like the new sound a lot. Pastor James Duddridge had a great sermon from Matthew 7:7-12. The title was, “Don’t give up”, with 3 key points. Ask, seek and knock. God is waiting for each of us to come to him with all things. If we ask Him and knock upon His door He will always be there to help us in all things. Our church service starts at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday morning with a terrific Junior Church for the kids and Bible Study at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights. Please send me any news at rjhenry40@hotmail.com and I will gladly put it in the paper.
the NCAA Tournament. That leads us to the key questions for the team heading into next year. Jordan Clarkson and Jabari Brown both could have the opportunity to leave a year early to test the waters of the NBA Draft. Neither one projects to be selected very high right now, so that could bode well for them coming back. However, players have been known to leave on just the faintest whisper of NBA potential, so we’ll have to wait and see. Beyond those decisions, Missouri will need to work to develop more of an inside presence. Freshmen Johnathan Williams III and Torren Jones showed flashes of potential this season, in Jones’ case later in the season after he got more experience. Their development will be key for the program going forward. So far, coach Frank Haith has relied heavily on transfers, and next season transfers Cameron Biedscheid, from Notre Dame, and Deuce Bello, from Baylor, will be eligible to play. It will be interesting to see how the new faces contribute and fit in with the current players. Next season will be a big year for the program, as the Tigers try to get back in the NCAA Tournament and reverse two seasons of decline after a great first year for Haith. Tiger fans are probably ready to put this season behind them and hope for better things next year.

Upcoming Events ‘The Battle: Nowhere to Hide’ March 29-31 Preparations are underway for a drama production that promises to “shake your soul” on March 29, 30, and 31 at Mountain View Christian Church. It’s called “The Battle: Nowhere to Hide” and it pulls no punches as it uses drama, music, video, and special effects to confront crowds with a Christian message about Jesus versus Satan, life versus death, and heaven versus hell. In fact, scenes can be so intense, parents are asked to use caution with children under eight years of age. Admission may be free, but a typical church play it’s not. The Battle has become an annual tradition at Mountain View Christian Church each Spring, and has typically filled the sanctuary to standing room only audiences. An addition to the church increased the seating last year to relieve some of that pressure, but even with the added room, spectators often arrive when the doors open at 6:00 p.m. to grab the best seats. Church from across the area bring groups of both youth and adults, and as Brian Ingalls, pastor of Mountain View Christian Church explains, The Battle targets a wide-range of ages. “Absolutely, the play itself tries to be exciting and intense so teenagers do enjoy it, but so do adults. And the subject matter and the scenes apply to all ages. Besides, when it comes to the question of heaven and hell, well we all have to face that one.” On March 29, 30 and 31, audiences will have a chance to face it again. For those seeking more information, the church directs them to call 417-934-6843, or go to their website at www.ijesus.me.

Death Notices Opal Christine Routh Opal Christine Routh was born on March 10, 1937 in Working Hard at Home and at the Capitol Summersville, Missouri to For the last two and a half months, I and 32 other senators Howard and Melinda (there is one vacant office), have been working to craft and (Ledbetter) Pierce. She went pass legislation in the Missouri Senate, while keeping in mind home to be with the Lord on the constituents we represent and work so hard for. As we are preparing for our annual spring recess, which marks the halfway point in the session, I am confident that more good things are to come from all of the hard work that goes on in this building. Ozark National Scenic Riverways I am not the only lawmaker who is worried about what is happening in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. U.S. Rep. Jason Smith, R-Cape Girardeau, has filed federal legislation to remove the rivers from control of the National Parks Service and to return the land to the state. I drafted Senate Concurrent Resolution 22 in hopes of addressing some concerns that plague residents and business people in our area. Since the Ozark Scenic Riverways were established by the federal government, a usage plan has been done every 20 years. The research for a new usage plan was started in 2005 and four different versions have been drafted. I support making no changes to the riverways’ current National Park Service (NPS) Usage Plan.

Opal was first of all a wife and mother and wonderful homemaker. She had in the past worked on several occasions at shoe factories and made many friends at those times. She loved birds, especially humming birds and flowers. She loved canning, especially green beans and making baby quilts. However, Opals heart passion was her love for God and working for Him. She loved going to church, revivals, gospel singings, and ladies meetings. She had a heart for cooking up famous homemade chicken and noodles for the congregations at church social times. She also loved bringing not only her families but the pastors, evangelists, and many friends and acquaintances to enjoy her fine foods in her home; especially her unique-to-many, but familiar to her family, “pea tacos”! The last couple of years have been very difficult for her with multiple illnesses but Opal’s love for her family never tired or diminished and her love for her beloved husband seemed to grow deeper with each passing day. Those who knew them and saw them out, knew they were ever together, often holding hands in public as well as at home. She touched many lives through the years even continuing to do so over the last few weeks as she lay sick in the Nursing Home where she had lived for the last five months with her husband. On the morning of her passing from this life to a better one, many of the staff who worked there were seen to shed tears. They along with her family, friends, and loved ones mourn, not for her passing on into a better life, but for themselves as together, we realize what a truly wonderful lady has graced our lives for the past 77 years. She will be deeply missed by all. Funeral services were held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, March 22, 2014 at Yarber Mortuary, Mountain View with Rev. Nolan Wilkins officiating. Interment was in Oak Forest Cemetery, Birch Tree, Missouri. Condolences may be expressed at www.yarbermortuary.com

She enjoyed the local rivers where she would spend time floating and kayaking with family and friends. Suzanne was an energetic person, and filled a room with her presence.

She was a loyal friend to many people that crossed her path. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. Suzanne was of the Baptist faith.

He shared his love of food by taking “Tooti Fruiti” to any family gathering or delivering food to friends feeling under the weather. When not with family you would find him at the shop with parts of trucks or tractors strewn about. His mechanical knowledge was sought by anyone who knew him and was freely given. Francis was there for anyone needing help. His next adventure always included going over the hill. We all look forward to seeing him when we get there and see his smiling face.

Her father was proud of her achievements in The Eastern Star Lodge, as expressed in the following quote. “After forty years a Free Mason, and enjoying every moment of same, this is one of the happiest, if not the happiest moment of them all. Be it by accident, coincidence, or be it by faithful attendance and hard labor, or whatever it be on their part, I am tonight, experiencing the happy occasion of witnessing my only son and my only daughter being installed into the highest offices of our two most ancient and honorable institutions, that of Worshipful Master and that or Worthy Matron.

How to Fight Age Discrimination Dear Savvy Senior, What constitutes age discrimination in the workplace, and where can I turn to for help if I think I’ve got a case? Demoted at 64 Dear Demoted, Age discrimination has become a much more frequent complaint in recent years as more and more people are working into their retirement years. But, you need to be aware that proving it is extremely difficult to do, especially since the 2009 Supreme Court decision that raised the bar for the type of legal proof that workers need to win age discrimination lawsuits. With that said, here are the steps you’ll need to take to fight age discrimination if you think you’ve been treated unlawfully. ADEA Protection The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is your first defense against age discrimination. This is a federal law that says an employer cannot fire, refuse to hire, or treat you differently than other employees because of your age. Some examples of age discrimination include: - You were fired because your boss wanted to keep younger workers who are paid less. - You were turned down for a promotion, which went to someone younger hired from outside the company, because the boss says the company “needs new blood.” - When company layoffs are announced, most of the persons laid off were older, while younger workers with less seniority and less on-the-job experience were kept on. - Before you were fired, your supervisor made age-related remarks about you. - You didn’t get hired because the employer wanted a younger-looking person to do the job. The ADEA protects all workers and job applicants age 40 and over who work for employers that have 20 or more em-
The Standard News ployees – including federal, state and local governments as well as employment agencies and labor unions. If your workplace has fewer than 20 employees, you may still be protected under your state’s anti-age discrimination law. Contact your state labor department or your state’s fair employment practices agency for more information. Another protection for older workers is the federal Older Workers Benefit Protection Act. Under this law, an employer cannot reduce health or life insurance benefits for older employees, nor can it stop their pensions from accruing if they work past their normal retirement age. It also discourages businesses from targeting older workers when cutting staff and prohibits employers from forcing employees to take early retirement. What to Do If you think you are a victim of employment age discrimination, your first step is to file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) usually within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation. You can do this by mail or in person at your nearest EEOC office (see www.eeoc.gov/ contact), or by calling 800-669-4000. They will help you through the filing process and let you know if you should also file a charge with your state anti-discrimination agency. Once the charge is filed, the EEOC will investigate your complaint and find either reasonable cause to believe that age discrimination has occurred, or no cause and no basis for a claim. After the investigation, the EEOC will then send you their findings along with a “notice-of-right-to-sue,” which gives you permission to file a lawsuit in a court of law. If you decide to sue, you’ll need to hire a lawyer who specializes in employee discharge suits. Lawyers.com and Findlaw.com are two websites that can help you locate discrimination attorneys in your area. Another option you should consider is mediation, which is a fair and efficient way to help you resolve your employment disputes and reach an agreement. The EEOC offers mediation at no cost if your current or former employer agrees to participate. At mediation, you show up with your evidence, your employer presents theirs and the mediator makes a determination within a day or less. 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.

Hay school set for April 5 at MU FSRC, Linneus “Hay That Pays” is a oneday school for livestock and horse owners, April 5 at the University of Missouri Forage Systems Research Center (FSRC) in Linn County. Two MU Extension regional specialists teamed up to plan the school that runs 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday. They are Valerie Tate, agronomist, Linneus, and Gentrie Shafer, livestock specialist, Milan. “Producers will learn if making their own hay, or balage, is economical on their farms,” Tate says. Options include owning hay equipment or hiring custom harvesting. Emphasis is on forages grown in the region.
The school includes not just how to make quality hay, but also how to feed it to livestock. That includes ensuring that hay meets nutritional needs of animals. Supplements will be discussed. A key will be learning to read hay-test reports. Dave Davis, superintendent of MU FSRC, will tell about hay and balage management. That includes making good bales and cutting losses in storage. Joe Koenen, MU Extension ag business specialist, Unionville, will talk economics of stored forages. The question will be: Is hay economical on my farm? The lessons include costs of
fertilizing hay fields. They will tell basics of haymaking: how to cut, rake, ted and bale or bag. Sponsors are the soil and water conservation districts of Linn and Sullivan counties. They provide lunch. Hay equipment will be on display and demonstrated. Dealer staff will discuss their tools and show points to consider. For lunch count, planners ask for sign-up by April 1 to assure enough coffee, donuts and food. To register, contact Shafer at shaferg@missouri.edu or 660265-4541.

Ozarks Fruit & Garden Review Grow Bags for Veggies, Herbs and Flowers by Marilyn Odneal Horticulture Adviser I am getting ready to plant potatoes in grow bags again this year. There are more and more fabric grow bags in stores and plant catalogs in different sizes and colors, some with handles and some without. I received some samples of Smart Pot aeration containers from the High Caliper Company in Oklahoma City where I ordered grow bags for a research project on raspberries. It will be fun to try them out on other vegetables, herbs and flowers this year. The fabric grow bags I am using are said to last several years, so both perennials and annuals will work. The advantages to using the fabric grow bags is that they have been reported to keep the roots cooler in summer compared with plastic pots and they air prune the roots so the plants do not become root bound.
You can even cut an “X” in the side of the container to plant on the outside wall of the container – nice when planting flowers. Different sizes of fabric pots are suitable for different crops, just like regular containers. The sizes I have in hand are 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 gallons, but larger grow bags are also available. The 7 gallon size is suggested for garlic, leeks, shallots, lettuce, spinach, arugula, basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, beans, bok choy, kale, peas, parsnips and small annuals. The 10 gallon works for peppers, artichoke, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, strawberries, kale, onions, beets, turnips, carrots, radish, patio cucumbers, patio tomatoes and larger annuals. The 15 gallon can handle cucumbers, potatoes, summer squash, eggplant and tomatillos and the 20 gallon is best for tomatoes, musk melons, water melons, pump-

kins, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. I will be using sterile potting media and slow release fertilizer, the same if I were planting in a plastic or ceramic container. The grow bags can sit right on the ground and won’t topple over since they conform to any undulations on the surface. Keep in mind that if you put them on your deck, the bottom will definitely get wet as water drains through, so you need to elevate them. If you are putting media in several grow bags, it is easier if you use an old plastic pot with the bottom cut out to use as a form. Slip the form into the cloth bag and fill with growing media. If you are not using a form, just put some of the media in and straighten the sides as you go until you the bag is filled a couple of inches from the top. If you are trying grow bags for your crops this year, let us know what you think. There are many different types to use and also directions for many DIY types online. So try some out and remember, if anyone asks how you garden grows, you can say it’s in the bag.
