Troopers seize 70 lbs. of marijuana On April 14, 2015, a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper stopped the driver of an eastbound sport utility vehicle on Interstate 70 in Callaway County. The stop and subsequent investigation resulted in the seizure of approximately 70 pounds of marijuana, $8,000 in U.S. currency, and the arrest of one Florida resident. At approximately 8:35 a.m., the driver of a 2015 Nissan Armada sport utility vehicle with Nevada registration was stopped near the 149-mile marker in Callaway County for following another vehicle too closely. Inconsistencies identified during the traffic stop prompted the trooper to ask for permission to search the vehicle, which was denied. The subsequent use of the Patrol's K-9 resulted in a probable cause search. The search revealed approximately 70 pounds of marijuana concealed within two suitcases and a duffle bag. The driver of the Nissan, Christopher H. Asbury, 34, of Palmetto, Florida, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and driving while suspended. Asbury was transported See Seizure on Page 4

Evidence in support of these charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty it is to determine guilt or innocence.

Clean-Up From Page One

seconded by Jeff Wade. Council discussed setting the dates for the annual Spring clean-up and brush pick-up dates. Council decided, since the city-wide yard sale would be held on May 9 that they would hold the clean-up the week of May 11. Brush pick-up will be held the same week but city residents are reminded that pick-up does NOT coincide with their trash pick-up. All residents are encouraged to set out their brush on Monday, May 11.

City workers will get to the brush sometime during that week. There will be no brush pick-up in July. The question of whether to amend the city's liquor ordinance to match the state's liquor statute was asked of council members as Walgreens of Mtn. View wants to apply for a liquor license. The business, which is located near the Mtn. View Elementary, was in question of the city's ordinance as it states

the business has to be 300 feet away from a church or school. Council members held a brief discussion as to the exact measurements of the ordinance measuring from the property line or from the point of sale. After a motion from Jeff Wade to amend the city ordinance to match the state statute died, council decided to table the issue to get with the city's attorney on the correct way to measure the footage stated in the ordinance.

"The whole group, 68 school districts, is what makes up MET. This year we finally pulled together and they came up with 12 different plants. Being a part of that trust has really paid off for us. It's one of those things that is going to help us in moving forward.

Kent Smith made the motion to stay in the trust, seconded by Beverly Denton with an all in favor from the board. Clarifying an item that had been 'accidentally' approved in closed session (and noted as a Sunshine Law Violation in the Standard News) the board approved a health insurance cap for the district. "We had set a cap at $4.45 that we were needing to discuss anyway," stated Nicholson. "The teachers would like the board to consider raising the cap up to $4.51 per

Repealing the Death Tax and Restoring the American Dream

This week, I voted to repeal the death tax and help put the American Dream back within reach for family farmers across southeast and southern Missouri. Since I was first elected to Congress, I have worked to get a vote on repealing the death tax for family farmers, including cosponsoring this important piece of legislation. Across our area, farmers worry that the death tax will keep them from passing the family farm down to their children. A full repeal of the death tax would alleviate this worry and encourage the kind of entrepreneurship America was built on. When the owner of a family farm dies, there is a tax on the From Page One value of the land, machinery and assets the owner is passing to their children once the value reaches a certain threshold. Farming assets can add up quickly between combines, tractors, machinery and farm land, but these family farmers are not rich. Nearly 85 percent of the value of a modern family farm is in non-liquid assets. Before they know it, those assets can be enough to trigger the estate tax, or as we have come to call it, the death tax. When a family is grieving the loss of a loved one, they are hit with the IRS’s death tax which requires a cash payment. They can be forced to sell land or machinery and stripped of their livelihood. If the families choose to take out a loan to pay the taxes, it can take years to pay back the money and can hold them back from hiring employees and expanding their farm. Family farms have played by the rules and already paid taxes throughout the years just to be taxed again after a death in the family. These folks pay real estate tax, federal and state income tax, and payroll taxes for their employees. It is unfair to take almost 50 percent of the business they have built just because they want to keep the farm in the family. It has been 10 years since the House last voted to repeal the death tax. I am proud to continue to fight for farmers in southeast and southern Missouri and bring attention to this unfair tax. As a fourth-generation owner of my family’s farm, I know firsthand that repealing the death tax is one Recognition of Howell County’s step toward ensuring these hardworking folks can continue Oustanding Republican - Republican of the to strive for the American Dream.

Death Notices Geraldine Stewart with two children; Shirley and husband Don Darby of Fort Collins, Colorado, Tommy and wife Dianna Stewart of Summersville, Missouri; five grandchildren Keven Crider, Wes Crider, Anita Newhouse, Tamela Smith, and T.J. Stewart; and eight great grandchildren. Geraldine worked in St. Louis for a time until they moved back to Hartshorn, Missouri. She then worked at H.D. Lee in Houston and Angelica in Summersville. She attended Hartshorn Assembly of God Church for many years before she entered the Mountain View Health Care. She enjoyed the Nursing Home but really missed going to church because she really loved her church family. She loved to crochet

Helen Rosenburg and enjoyed giving her handiwork to those she loved. She is crocheting sweater sets for the babies in Heaven now. She also enjoyed photography. Geraldine loved going to the Senior Center to visit with her family and friends. Preceding her in death is her husband Everett; three sisters Venita, Lydia, and Maggie; two brothers Bill and Elmer (Bo); and one son-in-law Leroy Crider. Funeral services will be held Saturday April 18, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the Bradford Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Gary Steelman officiating. Visitation will be held Friday April 17 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Bradford Funeral Home. Interment will be at Antioch Cemetery under the care of Bradford Funeral Home.

'The Battle' performs before crowds numbering in the hundreds A 90-minute, evangelistic drama designed to “shake your soul” was performed at the Mtn. View Christian Church this past week. "It's called 'The Battle' and it's not your typical church play, not even close," stated Brian Ingalls, senior minister at the Mtn. View Christian Church, who ironically plays Satan in the drama. Written and produced by the church itself, The Battle depicted intense scenes of life and death, as well as heaven and hell through the use of special effects, video, music, and even small pyrotechnics licensed for indoor use. The drama travelled through some disturbing images, all of which come from the evening news –the darkest corners of that news. Over 50 actors and actresses portrayed scenes that came straight from the headlines of kidnappings, murders, and tragic accidents, but this is a church so the story doesn’t end on earth. It ends in either heaven or hell. After each scene people come face to face with judgment, standing before the Book of Life, an image that comes from several places in the Bible including both the Old and New Testaments, but especially Revelation. It’s a pull-no-

punches look at life and death from a Christian perspective. “The idea with The Battle is not only to create something that is an experience to attend, but to create something that makes us all think,” explained Ingalls. “A drama can’t answer every question or portray everything perfectly, but it can definitely help us think seriously about where we stand with God, and what we believe.” On that score, The Battle succeeded. Weaving music,

drama and video in a fashion that takes the audience on a journey without a break for 90-minutes. The Battle takes direct aim at life’s toughest moments and questions, while presenting a message that Jesus is the ultimate answer. It ends not only with Jesus victory over Satan, but also with a more traditional altar call as a speaker asked the audience to take the message behind the drama to heart, and challenges people to make a decision to put their trust in Jesus.

Helen Rosenburg was born on May 15, 1927 the daughter of William “Bud” and Myrtle (Maxey)

Nicholson. She went to be with the Lord on April 12, 2015, at the age of 87, while residing at Mountain View Health Care. Helen was united in marriage to Emmit “Jack” Rosenburg on August 14, 1943 and to this union four children were born. Survivors include three children, Norma Lewis

and husband, Jerry, of Mountain View, Missouri, Dean Rosenburg and wife, Diane, of Holt, Missouri, and Russell “Rusty” Rosenburg of Mountain View, Missouri; brother, Fred Nicholson of Kansas City, Missouri; sister, Elsie Gutscher of Mountain View, Missouri; a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, and greatgreat grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Joyce; brothers, Claude and Lee; and sisters, Ruth, Ruby, and Nellie. Helen lived most of her life in the Mountain View/ Birch Tree area and was employed as a seamstress for many years at local factories, Conway-Winters and Angelica. She was saved at an early age and at the time of her

death was a member of Little Zion Baptist Church where she was active in many areas including kitchen committee, Bible School, and singing and playing her guitar.

Trooper Talk You have just been involved in a traffic crash! Now what? No one wakes up and says, “I think I will be involved in a traffic crash today.” Yet, in 2013, there were 139,294 crashes reported in the state of Missouri. There were 757 people killed and 49,532 people injured in 2013. Even with these crash numbers, most people still don’t think they can be involved in a traffic crash. Typically, after someone is involved in a crash the question they ask is, “Now, what do I do?” The traffic crash needs to be reported as soon as possible for several reasons. Responding emergency personnel need know the location, number of vehicles involved, type of damage, and the extent of any injuries. This information is vital to insure the proper equipment and personnel are sent to the scene. Other helpful information would include whether there is anyone trapped in the vehicle or the presence of fire. Remember: Never approach a vehicle if there are downed power lines; report that information as well. Missouri law requires persons involved in traffic

crashes to make a reasonable effort to move their vehicles, so they do not block the flow of traffic. However, if there are injuries or a fatality involved in the crash the vehicles should not be moved. In traffic crashes involving injury or a fatality a reasonable effort should be made to keep the scene from becoming any worse. When traffic is obstructed and begins to backup there is the risk of secondary crashes at the same location. When there are injuries involved in a traffic crash the occupants should not be moved as this could cause further injury. It is better to leave injured occupants in their vehicles and let responding emergency personnel deal handle the situation as they have the proper equipment. Only when death or the risk of further injury is present should you consider efforts to act on your own. If you choose to do so make sure you consider your own safety. Do you have rubber gloves or a CPR mask? The “Good Samaritan” laws will protect a person as long as

they do not exceed their level of training. The scene of a traffic crash poses other dangers to those involved and those rendering assistance. Passing motorists often are paying attention to the traffic crash and can put those involved with the scene at risk of being struck. The presence of hazardous materials, the terrain, and weather conditions are additional dangers. When law enforcement officers arrive they will need to see involved parties' driver’s licenses, registration, and proof of insurance. It is also a good idea for the involved parties to exchange information in order to help them when reporting the crash to their insurance companies. Remember: A report must be made if there is property damage in excess of $500 dollars, if there is injury, or if there is a fatality. Involvement in a traffic crash is traumatic no matter how serious the crash. By following the law and these guidelines, we can make the scene safer for those involved as well as emergency services personnel and other motorists.

Lady Eagles Soccer on their best season ever by Laura Wagner Mountain View Standard News laura@mvstandard.com

What can I say about the Lady Eagles? Actually, what can't I say. The team is looking like one of the best squads that has come out of Liberty since the beginning of girls soccer in 2008. The teamwork and communication displayed on the field is a culmination of years of hard work and dedication. The way the girls seem to read each other's mind when approaching an opponent, working together, backing one another up and quick ball handling skills leaves their opponents in the dust. This is truly a great year to be an Eagle. Adding to their growing tally of wins, the Lady Eagles took on Laquey and West Plains this past week bumping their season record to 9-4. According to Max

Preps the Lady Eagles are ranked #3 in Missouri State Class 2 Soccer behind #2 St. Charles and #1 Kearney. "As a team we are really starting to come together and everyone understands their job and what they need to focus on," remarked Head Coach Joey Spittler. "It's fun to watch them play, they are very aggressive and athletic." On Tuesday, April 14 the Laquey Lady Hornets (0-2) journeyed to The Nest where they were defeated 8-0 by the Lady Eagles. The game ran a tad slow as the fields were soaked and players did a lot of sliding around. Luckily the new grass at The Nest made it to where the girls were not playing in the mud. The first goal of the game came from Senior Shelby Yarber who shot from 30 yards out into the fourth minute of play. Quickly following, the Lady Eagles would score again as Senior Jessica Mantel took a

corner kick that hooked into a crowd of Lady Hornets with Courtney Thomas bumping it in. Mantel, who I consider to be queen of the corner kicks, made a fantastic shot scoring the third goal of the game. Not many players, including professionals, can net a goal from a corner kick. Maintaining the ball in Hornet territory the Lady Eagles hammered at their defense for the better part of the first half. Senior Natalie Henry who is a major play caller on the field for the Lady Eagles, scored the fourth goal at the twentythird minute of play driving it past the Hornets defense and sending the shot sailing past the hands of the keeper. The second half began with a goal for the Lady Eagles just 11 minutes in. Leaving the goal to take position as forward Jaci Mantel made the play as she did an incredible pass to Thomas

who scored, 5-0 for the Lady Eagles. The teamwork continued as Yarber assisted in the sixth goal, passing the ball to Henry who rocketed it in. Senior Kelsey Caldwell got a leg on the ball as she scored with 21 minutes left on the clock. The last goal of the game came as Jessica Mantel drove the ball down the field and shot from 20 yards out. "We played well against Laquey, the girls are starting to play as a team instead of individuals," commented Coach Spittler on the win. "We have had to move some people around to fill positions and we have been fortunate enough to have a lot of athleticism on our team. Kaitlyn Raith has stepped in at defender and with this being her first year, she has done a great job. It Defense - Hanna Vines (11) moves in to keep the ball away from the goal as Cami has helped that she has a Daniels (23) gets into position. Vines had numerous saves as a defender during the lot of experienced players Lady Eagles victory over the West Plains Lady Zizzers last Thursday.

Shelby Yarber. They have all played since they were Freshmen. Courtney Thomas and Kelsey Caldwell have also joined the team this year and have been immediate contributors." On Thursday, May 16 the Lady Eagles faced off against the West Plains Lady Zizzers (1-6). Having already defeated the Lady Zizzers once this year the game was expected to have the same outcome. However it seemed the Zizzers had come seeking revenge. Caldwell would be the first Eagle to score after twenty minutes of sluggish back and forth play on the field. West Plains would answer punching the ball hard forward. Having two players at the half line with no Eagles in sight, keeper Raith met them halfway and tried to kick the ball but fumbled it. West Plains took possession and passed it in. It was a valiant effort made

Liberty falls to Grove, destroys Willow in SCA action by Brian Ingalls Mountain View Standard News office@mvstandard.com

A tough game on the road against the South Central Association leading Mountain Grove Panthers, and a dominating victory at home against the Willow Springs Bears added up to another week at .500 for Liberty, but there were plenty of encouraging signs along the way as the Eagles stayed in the game most of the afternoon against the Panthers before giving up four runs in the final three innings to fall 9-2, and buried Willow Springs in an avalanche of 16 hits for an 11-3 victory. Everything needed to go right for the Eagles at Mountain Grove, but four Liberty errors and the stingy defense of the Panthers handed the Eagles another loss on Tuesday, April 13. Only once this season has Mountain Grove given up more than two runs in a game. That came in a 4-0 loss to Strafford three weeks ago. The Panthers have destroyed most of their other opponents, including a 19-2 victory over Salem, and a 19-1 victory over Thayer last week. The Eagles

became another notch in the win column for the Panthers, but Liberty didn’t go down as easily, trailing just 5-2 in the fourth inning. It’s as close as they would get, however. For the next three innings the Eagles went three-up-three-down, with five strike-outs and one-hit. The Panthers meanwhile took advantage of a Liberty error in the fourth inning, and two more errors in the sixth to score four runs and take a 9-2 victory. Dakota Millard was on the mound for the Eagles and struck out two, while relief pitcher Corbin Dewick pitched the fifth and sixth innings, striking out three batters. Back home on Thursday against the Willow Springs Bears was a completely different story, however. After managing just three hits against the Panthers, the Eagles erupted for 16 hits against the Bears, running away with an 11-3 victory. Liberty equaled the total number of hits they managed against Mountain Grove with their first three at bats against Willow. Kyle Orchard led off with a single, Jansen Acklin connected for a double, and

a base hit by Cale Cornman helped the Eagles to a 2-0 advantage. The Eagles got a full head of steam in the second inning with seven more hits, including a double by Orchard and a 3-run homer by Millard. That pushed Liberty’s lead to 7-0 and the Eagles scored again in the third inning and three more times in the sixth. The only runs for Willow Springs came in the top of the sixth after a homerun and two base hits resulted in three scores. Cale Cornman got the win as the Eagles pitcher, and Millard finished the game off in relief. Cornman continued his stellar work from the mound this season, throwing 10 strikeouts, giving up no runs and only one walk. It was a big finish to the week for the Eagles, who play Houston on the road on Thursday and head to Dora for a tournament this weekend. If the game against Mountain Grove was any indication, the Eagles are capable of playing with anyone. In the first four innings at least, the game was still within reach. The Panthers had three base hits in the first inning and scored twice as Blaine Halford and DJ McNew crossed the plate. An error allowed Easton Collins to reach base in the second inning, and Jacob Mitchell walked to put two runners on with one out for the Panthers. McNew drove both of them in with a double, and later scored himself after another Eagles error. The 5-0 Panther lead shrunk to 5-2 after Liberty put together their first base hits of the day. Acklin grounded to short-stop to start the inning, but Cornman and Millard hit singles, and both stole bases to reach second and third. A fly ball by Dewick scored Cornman, and Millard crossed the plate shortly after, as Liberty cut into Mountain Grove’s lead. The momentum disappeared, however, as the

by Raith who had the right idea but came out a little too early. The next score would come with 34 minutes left in the first half Thomas passed the ball up to Bailey Wagner who got a break away and tapped it into the left corner. Before the whistle ending the first half would blow West Plains would score again, 2-2. Revving up after halftime, the Lady Eagle took the field where Caldwell would shoot just inside the 18, putting it over the keepers head. With just two minutes left in the game, the Lady Eagles sealed their victory as Yarber took a corner and Thomas put it in with her knee, 4-2. The Lady Eagles will travel to Springfield Central (5-7) on Tuesday, April 21. After a much deserved break the girls will play a home game on Monday, April 27 against Hillcrest (6-5) ending the week with three away games at Aurora on Tuesday, April 28; St. James on Thursday, April 30 and at Dixon on Friday, May 1. The last game of the season will be a home game on Tuesday, May 12 against Poplar Bluff. Be sure to come out and support your Lady Eagles!

Millard had one hit on the day, but it was a three-run home run in the second inning as Liberty jumped out to a 7-0 lead. (Photo: Standard/Wagner) Panthers shut down the Eagles the rest of the way. Liberty got one last base hit from Dewick in the sixth, but he was thrown out stealing second to end the inning. The Panthers added two scores in the fourth and two more in the sixth to take the 9-2 SCA victory. Two days later, the Eagles were a scoring machine. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, the Eagles scored five more during a two-out rally in the second. Tyler Hedden reached first after being hit by a pitch. Next up was Orchard who connected for a double, and Acklin drove both players in with a single to make it 4-0 Liberty. The rally wasn’t over. A single by Cornman gave Liberty two base runners again, and Millard stepped to the plate and hit the second pitch over the fence for a three-run home run. The Eagles led 7-0 and the Bears couldn’t answer as Cornman allowed only two players to reach base in the first five innings. Liberty added four more scores before the day was over. Devin Mendenhall, who was a perfect three for three for the Eagles, reached base on a single in the third inning, and later stole second. He eventually

scored to give the Eagles an 8-0 advantage. After the Bears put together three runs in the sixth inning, Liberty answered with three runs of their own from Acklin, Cornman, and Millard. Millard made quick work of the Bears in the seventh to give Liberty an 11-3 victory, and another week of win one – lose one for the Eagles. But at least this time, by all appearances the Eagles had plenty to feel good about.

Medication Management Tools for Organizing and Remembering Dear Savvy Senior, What products or solutions can you recommend to help seniors keep up with their medications? My mom is supposed to take several different medications at different times of the day but frequently forgets. Reminding Son Dear Reminding, Anybody who juggles multiple medications can relate to the problem of forgetting to take a medication, or not remembering whether they already took it. This is especially true for people who take medications at varying times of the day. Here are some different product and service solutions that may help. Medication Helpers Getting organized and being reminded are the two keys to staying on top of a medication schedule. To help your mom achieve this, there are a wide variety of affordable pillboxes, medication organizers, vibrating watches, beeping pill bottles and even dispensers that will talk to her that can make all the difference. To find these types of products go to Epill.com (800-549-0095), where you’ll find dozens to choose from. Also check out Reminder Rosie (reminder-rosie.com, $130), a voice activated talking clock that tells you when to take your medicine, and can be used for other reminders, too. And for a super comprehensive medication management device, there’s the MedMinder automatic pill dispenser. This is a computerized pillbox that will beep and flash when it’s time for your mom to take her medication, and will call her if she forgets. It will even alert her if she takes the wrong pills. This device can also be set up to call, email or text family members and caregivers letting you know if she misses a dose, takes the wrong medication or misses a refill. Available at MedMinder.com, or 888-633-6463, the MedMinder rents for $40 to $65 per month. Medication Packaging Another possible way to help simplify your mom’s medication use is to get her prescriptions filled in singledose packets that put all her medications (vitamins and overthe-counter drugs can be included too) together in neatly labeled packets organized by date and the time of day they should be taken. This does away with all the pill bottles and pill sorting. Some compounding pharmacies or independent drug stores offer single-dose packaging along with a number of online pharmacies like PillPack.com. Reminding Services Another simple solution that can help your mom stick to her medication schedule is to use a medication reminding service. These are services that will actually call, email or text your mother reminders of when it’s time to take her medicine and when it’s time to refill her prescriptions. Some even offer extra reminders like doctor and dentist appointments, wake-up calls and more. Companies that offer such services are MyMedSchedule. com, which provides free medication reminders via text message or email. Their website can also help you make easy-to-read medication schedules that you can print out for your mom to follow. Or, if your mom uses a smartphone or tablet, there are free medication reminding apps that can help, like MediSafe (medisafeproject.com) or MedCoach (greatcall.com). If, however, your mom doesn’t receive texts or use a smartphone, tablet or computer, OnTimeRx.com or Snoozester.com may be the answer. With starting prices ranging between $4 and $10 per month, these services will call your mom on her phone (they can send text messages and emails too) for all types of reminders including daily medications, monthly refills, doctor appointments, wake-up calls and other events. Or, if you’re looking for extra help, Care Call Reassurance (call-reassurance.com, 602-265-5968 ext. 7) may be a better fit. In addition to the call reminders to your mom’s phone, this service can be set up to contact a family member or designated caregiver if she fails to answer or acknowledge the call. This service runs between $15 and $20 per month. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Mercy St. Francis Hospital has won another battle in the war on obesity. Fortyone people accepted the hospital’s 12-week “Biggest Loser” challenge in January, losing a combined 341.8 pounds. The “Biggest Loser” contest followed the hit TV show concept. Teams from across Mountain View weighed in during the three-month period. There were two educational

presentations provided by Mercy Springfield during the challenge for contestants. “It was another great example of Mercy’s commitment to keeping the community fit,” said organizer Carol Schmidt, nursing administrative assistant at Mercy St. Francis Hospital. The top team’s members lost an average of 4.5 percent body weight; they’ll divide a grand prize of $580.

Donation - Mike Mcafee received the donation from the contest for the Backpack Program for the Mountain View-Birch Tree School of $290.

Team Winners - The Mountain View-Birch Tree Team consisted of two men, Michael McAfee and Tom Taylor. They lost as a team 9% of their weight.

First Place Winner - Cindy Cartwright, who was our individual winner, losing 15% of her weight. She received $290.

Blood Drive at LHS May 1 Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) has issued a CODE YELLOW ALERT for A NEGATIVE and O NEGATIVE BLOOD TYPES. There is currently less than a two-day supply of these blood types available for area patients. Donors are urged to give this week at an area blood drive or CBCO donor center. Donors to Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) provide all of the blood for patients at 39 area hospitals. On average, a transfusion takes place every

seven minutes. It takes around 230 donations each day to meet the area’s blood needs. You can help by giving blood at Liberty High School on Friday, May 1 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID. For more information about sharing your good health with others, please visit our website at www.cbco.org, or call tollfree 1-800-280-5337. Thank you for giving life to your community.

The winning individual lost 9 percent of her body weight and will be awarded $290. The Mountain View Elementary Student Council’s backpack program is also a big winner, receiving $290 from registration and other donations. “The backpack program currently serves 18 families,” added Schmidt. “They receive non-perishable foods like oatmeal, peanut butter and macaroni and cheese, as well as personal hygiene items.” Last year, 57 people

accepted the challenge, losing a combined 867 pounds – nearly a halfton of weight. Five of the contestants continued to weigh-in monthly throughout the summer and either maintained their weight or went on to lose more. Mercy St. Francis Hospital would like to encourage the year’s contestants to continue with their “Life Style” change and invites them to weigh in every month throughout the summer. For more information, call Carol Schmidt at 417-934-7097.

Search is on for Century Farms in Southwest Missouri If your farm has been in your family since Dec. 31, 1915, you can apply to have it recognized as a Missouri Century Farm. To qualify, farms must meet the following guidelines. The same family must have owned the farm for 100 consecutive years. The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including through marriage or adoption. The farm must be at least 40 acres of the original land acquisition and make a financial contribution to the overall farm income. "It is important to honor and respect our history," said Michael Ouart, vice provost for University of Missouri Extension. "These farms represent both Missouri's cultural heritage and the good stewardship that our farmers strive for." In 2008, the Missouri Farm Bureau joined MU Extension and the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources as a program

sponsor. "Missouri Farm Bureau is a proud partner in the recognition of century farms," said Blake Hurst, president. "We applaud the hardworking farm families that have kept us fed and clothed for generations. They represent an important part of our heritage and laid a foundation for the bounty Americans enjoy every day." Since Missouri began the program in 1976, more than 8,000 century farms have been recognized. For applications received by May 1, a $65 fee covers the cost of a certificate, farm sign and booklet for approved applicants. If the application is received between May 1 and May 15, the cost is $75. Applications must be postmarked by May 15, 2015, to be considered. Applications can easily be completed online. For application forms and information, call Extension Publications toll-free at 1-800292-0969, contact your local MU Extension office, or

visit the program website at extension.missouri.edu/ centuryfarm.

Applicants certified as owners of a 2015 Missouri Century Farm will be recognized by the MU Extension office in the county where the farm is located. Applicants are presented with a sign and a certificate. The dates of those recognition events vary from county to county.
