Traffic stop results in drug arrest, 10 lbs. of cocaine On April 7, 2014, at approximately 10:39 a.m., a member of the Missouri State Highway Patrol stopped a 2013 Nissan Frontier on Interstate 29 at the 69-mile marker north of St. Joseph, Missouri. The driver was identified as Ramon Arrendondo, 22, of San Jose, California, and the passenger was identified as Eleuterio Murillo-Salgado, 34, of San Jose, California. During the course of the traffic stop, several indicators of criminal activity were observed causing the trooper to become suspicious. Consent to search the vehicle was requested and granted; therefore, a search of the vehicle was conducted.

That search revealed four packages believed to contain cocaine. The combined weight of the packages is approximately 10 pounds.

Murillo-Salgado was arrested for felony trafficking of a controlled substance - cocaine. He was transported to the Holt County Jail where he is being held pending a formal charge. The driver, See MSHP on Page 2

the ferocity of at least one storm was realized. Just after 7:00 p.m. CDT, a supercell (storm with rotating updrafts) rapidly intensified northwest of the Little Rock, Arkansas area. A destructive tornado was produced, with the tor-

Riverways Reflections New Clean Water Act Rule Poses Significant Impact When I ask folks at home in Missouri which federal agency has the greatest negative impact on their lives the answer is always the same: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Bureaucrats at the EPA have declared war on rural America and are focused on trying to regulate nearly every part of our way of life. This is the agency that wanted to regulate dust on farms and require dairy farmers to have an Oil Spill Prevention Plan because they think spilt milk is an environmental hazard. Now the EPA has their sights set on the Clean Water Act. Recently the EPA proposed expanding the definition of “waters of the U.S.” in the Clean Water Act to include all man-made bodies of water, ponds, ditches, flood plains and even standing water in potholes. If the EPA is successful in expanding their authority, they will be able to regulate nearly all water in the United States. The EPA wrote their expansion request in a way that would impact every pesticide and fertilizer application and require permits for professionals and homeowners, even on private property. This means that private property owners near any waters would no longer be able to treat their own land unless they obtained a permit from the EPA. This proposed rule change would have a disastrous impact on the farming community and could pose a public health risk. Farmers in Missouri and across the country treat their crops to protect against bugs and diseases. This intrusive rule change would require farmers to jump through needless regulatory hoops that would cause delays and reduced productivity. Additionally, requiring permits for standing water would make it much more difficult to control mosquitoes and ticks that carry harmful diseases like West Nile Virus and Lyme disease. This rule change is simply too broad, too intrusive, and too ambiguous to stand.

This week I joined with Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives to express our concerns about the impact this rule would have on our way of life. In a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, my colleagues and I said this rule change would contradict prior Supreme Court decisions that limit the federal authority within the Clean Water Act. The letter also states that the proposed rule change, “aggressively expands federal authority under the Clean Water Act while bypassing Congress and creating unnecessary ambiguity.”

I will continue to fight the EPA’s power grab of the Clean Water Act. Every American wants clean water for themselves and their families. What we do not need is an emboldened EPA trying to regulate water on private property and against the public interest.

The EPA does not need more authority to cause an even greater regulatory burden on private property owners.

Congratulations to Cody and Angie Miller on the birth of their son, Gavin Randell Miller!

Bob and Pauline Henry enjoyed having their children and most of their grandchildren with them Easter Sunday. They also helped their daughter celebrate her birthday with a cookout on Saturday evening.

John and Kim Talbert hosted a birthday party for Luke Abbey, Chelsea Talbert and Jesse Henry. Dawn’s nieces, Heaven Cooley and boyfriend Brandon and Haley Cooley, were there, too. They are from Oklahoma and staying with their grandparents, Chuck and Sandra Rice.

We had a great Easter Sunrise service at 7:00 a.m. with breakfast and an Easter Egg Hunt following. Our church service Sunday was titled, “New Era in Life”. Pastor James Duddridge had a good sermon from Luke 24:44-49 where prophesy had been fulfilled after His resurrection and people began to comprehend what Jesus had been telling them. Sunday morning service at 9:30 a.m. and Wednesday Bible Study is at 6:30 p.m.

Please send me any news at rjhenry40@hotmail.com and I will gladly put it in the paper.

Calling all veterans!

We’re so proud of our wall display frames that the Friends of the Summersville Library purchased for us, and the May through July exhibit will be dedicated to honoring our local veterans. We need 8x10 photos for the display. A copy will be made, so the original will not need to be left at the library. We’ll need the veteran’s name, branch of service, war, and year to make an info note for each photo. These should be brought to the library AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Our Cowboy Roundup held on April 26th was a great success, thanks to several who made it possible.

We thank our Friends of the Summersville Library for the planning and buying bandanas for each of our little cowpokes; Betty Jo Bandy for making the popular Cow-patty Cookies and bringing the makings for our “campfire”; Johnnie Lou Mahan for showing us her rope tricks and DVD; Lorna Brooks for bringing Days of Thunder, the Clydesdale horse owned by Josiah Boyles; Jim and Judy Wenzel for telling stories, poetry, and leading the group of cowboys and others in several songs around the campfire; Scott Kirkman for allowing us to use his roping bull; and the city of Summersville for letting us close off the street in front of the library for the activity. It was such fun that we’ll have to do it again!

New books to our fiction shelf this week include Prayers For Sale, Sandra Dallas; A Kiss Remembered, Sandra Brown; Ordinary Heroes, Scott Turow; Late Edition, Fern Michaels; The Honk and Holler Opening Soon, Billie Letts; A Whole New Light, Sandra Brown; and Olive Kitteridge, a Pulitzer Prize Winner by Elizabeth Strout.

Added to our non-fiction this past week are Three American Indian Women: Pocahontas, Sacajawea, Winnemucca Of the Northern Paiutes; Teach Yourself To Play Guitar: Everything You Need To Know To Start Playing the Guitar!; Star Log Cabin Quilt: From the Quilt in a Day Series; What To Do For Senior Health by Albert Barnett, M.D., Nancy Rushton, R.N., and Lynne Mumaw, R.N.; and Rhinestone Cowboy, autobiography by Glen Campbell. Also, The Boy Who Dared: A Novel Based on the True Story of a Hitler Youth by Susan Campbell Bartoletti is new to our juvenile fiction.

Summersville Friends of the Library meet at 5:00 p.m. on the 2nd Monday of each month at the Summersville Branch Library. The next meeting will be held on May 12th. Everyone is invited to come and participate in the growth of the new Summersville Branch Library.

Anyone wishing to use a computer at the library will need to have a valid Texas County Library card. The cards are FREE, but we will need to see a picture I.D. and a separate proof of current address at the time of application. Children under the age of 18 years must have a Texas County Library card and parent or guardian permission to use the Internet on one of our computers.

Remember to save your Best Choice brand barcodes for the library and Box Tops For Education for our grade school. Texas County Library receives 3 cents for each Best Choice barcode!

South Central Education Consortium seeks local art for display The South Central Education Consortium, a partnership between Three Rivers College and Missouri State University – West Plains, is hosting an opportunity to support and promote the work of local artists.

Kander puts spotlight on Safe at Home for Sexual Assault Awareness Month Secretary of State Jason Kander joined law enforcement, victim advocates and health practitioners across the nation in raising awareness about the prevalence and impact of sexual assault. As part of the effort for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Kander highlighted his office’s Safe at Home program that helps keep survivors of sexual assault,

rape, domestic violence and stalking safe from their assailants.

“My office will continue to do everything it can to protect survivors of sexual assault,” Kander said. “Our Safe at Home program is focused on protecting and supporting victims in their time of need.”

Safe at Home helps keep more than 1,000 Missourians

safe by allowing them to use a substitute address when creating new public records with state and local government agencies. The secretary of state’s office then receives all first-class and legal mail at the substitute address and forwards it to the participants’ confidential locations.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month takes place every April.

The Consortium is soliciting artwork to be previewed for permanent display in our new facility at 908 Springfield Road in Willow Springs. For more information on how to have your artwork displayed at the Consortium, contact Scott Williamson at 417-469-3000.

Submissions will be accepted through May 30.

Three Rivers College is also supporting local high school artists by sponsoring the Willow Springs Community Choice Award ribbon at this year’s Alpha-Rho-Tau competition being hosted by Willow Springs High School.

The Consortium was formed as a partnership between Three Rivers and Missouri State-West Plains to bring affordable, accessible higher education to the Willow Springs region, and opened in January 2014. The Consortium offers two-year technical degrees, short-term career certificates, developmental classes, and general education courses. Registration is now open for Fall classes at all Three Rivers locations. For more information on how to register, call 573-840-9605 or visit trcc.edu/admissions.

by Superintendent Bill Black Things are starting to get busy at Ozark National Scenic Riverways. We’ve seen more visitors on the river, out hiking and camping, and stopping in to enjoy the spring scenery. We’re glad to welcome many of our seasonal employees back to work, preparing for a busy summer season. School groups have been visiting and several will join us on May 9 for Junior Ranger Day at Alley Spring, which will be a great opportunity for the general public to enjoy some fun activities, also. We’re planning our annual spring parkwide cleanup for May 7.

Employees and concessioners will get out into the park and make a fun and productive day of it. We’d like to invite anyone who’s interested in joining us to call park headquarters for more information.

Work continues on my review and consideration of the public comments for the Draft General Management Plan (GMP). Our goal is to have a final GMP completed later this year, which will include a summary of public comments and our responses. In my last column, I discussed the Wilderness Study that was included with the Draft GMP. This week I want to discuss roads and river access, which many of you have mentioned as areas of concern. Admittedly, the Draft GMP had some unclear wording that prompted questions soon after it was released.

Gravel Bar Access: In general, we don’t envision much change in the way that gravel bar camping has been enjoyed for years. Currently, gravel bar camping is allowed by float-in or walk-in campers, as long as the locations are one-half mile away from any designated camping area and at least 50 feet away from any river access or landing. Campers wishing to drive onto the gravel bars have been a concern in the past because of overcrowding, blocking access for other visitors, and safety issues caused by vehicle traffic in the midst of families trying to enjoy the river. Therefore, the NPS preferred alternative proposes that camping on gravel bars which are accessed by vehicles be allowed in designated campsites only, to reduce these problems. At these locations, camping would only be allowed in the designated sites, whether you arrive at the gravel bar by river or by road.

Primitive Campsite Access: In an effort to broaden the recreational experience and to help protect resources, the National Park Service (NPS) preferred alternative proposes to limit road access to some – not all – primitive campsites. Established primitive campsites would not be closed, but in some cases the

road or parking area would stop slightly short of the site.

The road would be rehabilitated into a short hiking trail from the parking area to the campsite. This would allow visitors to enjoy a more primitive camping experience in a few areas, while protecting resources and concealing vehicles from view from the river.

We would try to provide space for pop-ups or small campers, though these sites may be located a little further back from the river’s edge. No decision has been made about which primitive campsites this would affect.

Undesignated Roads: In some areas, unauthorized roads or “two tracks” have been blazed illegally into the park, resulting in a confusing “cobweb” of undesignated roads.

This can create detrimental impacts to wildlife and natural resources, as well as negative visitor experiences for those who inadvertently end up on these unmaintained roads. The NPS preferred alternative recommends that we strive to restore natural conditions on approximately 45 miles of roads. This rehabilitation would primarily apply to undesignated roads, and any associated undesignated river crossings. The proposals in the Draft GMP would have no impact on the use of any county or state roads.

Put-in and Take-out Locations: The NPS preferred alternative would allow us the flexibility to evaluate the river access points currently used by our concessions and other users of nonmotorized watercraft. In response to changing conditions such as river flow or visitor use patterns, we may need to consider better options for distribution of those access points in order to provide quality experiences for our visitors and protect river resources. Our concession operators would be involved in helping us with these evaluations and providing input on redistribution.

We are proposing that the total number of access points remain about the same, but depending on the need, we could envision relocating approximately 20 nonmotorized access points over the life of the GMP. This recommendation does not apply to designated boat ramps or launches for motorized boats.

I hope this provides a better understanding about the proposals related to roads and river access. I want to emphasize that the GMP is still in draft format. After we analyze all the comments, we fully recognize that there may be compelling reasons to modify the NPS preferred alternative.

For more information about Junior Ranger Day or the parkwide cleanup, call park headquarters at (573)3234236. To learn more about proposals related to roads and river accesses, you can read the “Summary of Key Excerpts” from the Draft GMP by visiting the park website at www.nps.gov/ozar and clicking on the link to the Draft General Management Plan.

Lady Eagles defeat Central Bulldogs in overtime

by Laura Wagner Soccer is known as ‘the beautiful game’ and that’s what it is was Tuesday night, a beautiful game. This was the best game I have witnessed in my career of watching the Lady Eagles at home. Flawless passes, communication, excellent ball handling and a tenacity to win from each player on the field. I simply can’t say enough good things about the team. Every player on the field played exceptionally well.

This, in my opinion, is the strongest squad that Liberty has had on the field and I have high expectations come time for district play.

Tension was mounting Tuesday, April 22nd as Liberty took the field against the Springfield Central Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Eagles defeated Springfield Central earlier in the season at the Greenwood Tournament 4-3. Needless to say the Lady Bulldogs wanted a chance to redeem themselves. The game started fast-paced with the Lady Eagles maintaining the ball on the Bulldogs end for the better part of the first half. The only goal came from Jessica Mantel after a handball was called, resulting in a direct kick

for the Lady Eagles. The score remained 1-0 as the halftime whistle blew. Beginning the second half the Lady Eagles came out a tad sluggish. After playing 40 minutes of hard soccer with only three subs, the Lady Eagles did well trying to keep the Bulldogs at bay but they never the less scored, 1-1. As the clock wound down, overtime was inevitable. The Lady Eagles took the field again with ten minutes on the clock. Keeper Samantha Henry, back fresh from an injury and senior trip, did an outstanding job holding off the onslaught of the Lady Bulldogs. Bailey Wagner also contributed to several close calls near the box.

She stopped several break away attempts at goal, speeding past the offense to head them off before they had a chance to take a shot. In the end it all came down to a rather lucky penalty kick call against the Lady Bulldogs. Kassidy Ledgerwood was tripped by two Lady Bulldogs inside the box resulting in the PK. The kick was good, the game was over, 2-1 victory for the Lady Eagles.

After a short break of two days, the Lady Eagles travelled to West Plains on Friday,

April 25th to compete in the 10th Annual Lady Zizzer Classic Soccer Tournament. The first game for the Eagles had them pitted against Ozark. This was a heartbreaking game as the Lady Eagles battled hard, but in the end lost in overtime 3-4. Ozark scored first but Liberty was quick to answer back with goals scored by Natalie Henry and Ledgerwood.

Keeping Ozark at just one goal for the first half, Ledgerwood scored another goal, 3-1 at the half. Like most of the games this season, the Lady Eagles came out in the second half winded. Kailyn Daniels had to leave the field with a possible concussion after taking a blow to the head. The Lady Eagles fought hard but Ozark scored three minutes into overtime.

For the game, Ledgerwood had 2 goals, 1 assist; Natalie Henry had 1 goal, 1 assist and Beth Sherbo had 1 assist.

The tournament continued on Saturday, April 26th at 8:30 a.m. for the Lady Eagles.

Kailyn Daniels was cleared to play but the Lady Eagles were missing Jessica Mantel who was at a band competition.

The girls came out, guns blazing against Waynesville.

Ashley Miller got in on the action as she set up the play passing to Ledgerwood, who crossed to Henry for the third goal. The final goal of the first half came from Daniels who crossed to Henry who drove it in. These four goals were scored during

the first 20 minutes of the game. Waynesville’s first goal was a breakaway from midfield, followed by a header off a corner kick. The score ended 4-3 at the half as Waynesville snuck a goal in with only 2 seconds remaining on the clock. Despite only having two subs the Lady Eagles maintained their momentum in the second half.

Savannah Salinas took a shot at goal, bouncing off the post.

Henry was in place to score off the bounce, 5-3 for the Lady Eagles. Bailey Wagner stopped several break away attempts by Waynesville but they kept the pressure on and scored two more times. The game was tied 5-5 with minutes to go.

Liberty Eagles Baseball bounces back with some wins

by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer Liberty Eagles Baseball may have turned a bit of a corner last week after winning two of their last three games, and coming within one run of knocking off one of the best teams in the State. After another tough outting against the Dora Falcons on Tax Day, April 15, something clicked two days later when Liberty faced the undefeated Ava Bears.

The only team to defeat Mountain Grove so far this season, and ranked third in Ky3’s Ozarks Sports Zone power poll, the Ava Bears could only manage two hits against Liberty’s Zane Cornman, and didn’t score until the fifth inning, escaping with a 1-0 victory over the Eagles. The loss may have also been a confidence booster.

Liberty took a 13-9 victory over a solid Cabool Bulldogs team four days later on April 21, and a second place tournament trophy last weekend.

“We’re playing good baseball right now,” said Eagles Head Coach Allen Hedden,

and there isn’t much argument. After a loss to Houston with several key starters missing due to a State conference in Columbia last Thursday, the Eagles traveled to Dora for the Southern Missouri Invitational Tournament and took home a second place trophy with victories over Neelyville 5-4 and Gainesville 5-0, before falling 10-0 to powerhouse Mountain Grove.

The stretch gave Liberty some much needed wins, improving their season record to 5-11 with several conference games left to go, including a game against Salem on Monday, followed by rematches against Ava, and Houston this week.

Turning the corner on the season wasn’t easy, and traveling to Dora on April 15, the Eagles had another tough afternoon. Liberty scored early, as Cale Cornman led the game off with a double and made it home on a single by Dakota Millard, giving the Eagles a 10 lead. The Falcons answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the first, however, and added four more runs in the second inning to take a

6-1 advantage. Cale scored again in the 3rd inning, getting on base with a single, and making it home thanks to another RBI single by Millard, but that would do it for the Eagles. They wouldn’t score again while Dora exploded for five runs in the fifth inning to run away with an 11-2 victory.

Liberty, still trying to break out of their slump, almost did it two days later against one of the best teams around, the Ava Bears. Currently, the Bears are the last remaining unbeaten team in the Ozarks at 10-0, but got a scare from Liberty who traveled to Ava and held the Bears scoreless for most of the game. Zane Cornman was a big reason, striking out seven on the day and giving up just two hits.

It took a two-out rally by the Bears in the fifth inning to get on the board as Ben Loge walked to first and made it home on a stolen base, and a passed ball. Liberty almost responded in the sixth inning, but Millard was stranded at third base as the Bears got the third out, and Ava managed to hold on to a 1-0 victory. Con-

a game where several key starters were in Columbia, Missouri for State competitions. Zane Cornman, James Denton, and Jansen Acklin were all out of the line up and Liberty managed only two hits all day against the Tigers. Meanwhile, Houston had a good day, getting 13 runs on 14 hits to run away with a 13-2 victory.

The Eagles shook off the loss, however, with a big weekend at Dora in the Southern Missouri Invitational. Friday, Liberty faced off against Neelyville, a team with a winning record including a close loss to Poplar Bluff.

It was close against Liberty as well, but the Eagles came away with the 5-4 victory.

Cale Cornman started wth base hit. Acklin added another and with two men on base, Zane Cornman drove in his brother with a single to make it 1-0 Liberty.

Neither team could score until Neelyville grabbed the lead in the third inning with 2 runs. The Eagles tied it 2-2 in the fourth when Daniel White led off with a double and eventually scored, but Neelyville responded with two more runs in the top of the fifth to take a 4-2 lead.

James Denton brought Liberty back in the bottom of the inning with a triple, and with

two outs Zane Cornman cranked a two-run home run to tie the game 4-4. Liberty then took the lead in the sixth when Millard reached base on a double and later scored to give Liberty a 5-4 advantage.

The Eagles held on for the win.

Just as impressive was the win the following day as Liberty shut down Gainesville 50. The Eagles did most of their damage in the first inning. Cale Cornman, Acklin, White, and Millard all scored in the first inning as the Eagles batted around. Acklin scored again in the second with good base running and the Eagles held on from there, striking out 14 batters along the way.

That sent the Eagles into a championship matchup against Mountain Grove, but the magic ended for the weekend, and the Eagles took home a second place trophy. The Panthers, ranked 4th in the State Coaches poll, exploded for six runs in the first inning and got two more in the second, and two more in the fouth to take a 10-0 victory.

Despite the loss, Liberty goes into a stretch of conference games with some renewed confidence and playing good baseball. That’s the sort of combination that can turn seasons around.

sidering this was the same Ava Bears team who knocked off Mountain Grove, and recently walloped Willow Springs 150 in four innings, the Eagles had a lot of positives to take from the loss.

In fact, it may have turned the season around.

Cabool found that out on Monday, April 21 when they arrived in Mountain View and the Eagles jumped out to an 8-1 lead in the first two innings. Jansen Acklin got things rolling with a one-out double. Millard moved him to third with a single and Zane Cornman finished things off with a three-run home run.

Cornman wasn’t finished.

Liberty got a run in the second from Andrew Raider, and then loaded the bases after Cale Cornman singled, Acklin walked, and Millard reach first on an error. That brought Zane to the plate again and the senior came through with a grand slam home run to make it 8-1 Liberty.

The Bulldogs responded with three runs in the third inning to cut Liberty’s advantage to 8-4, but the Eagles scored runs in every inning and the Bulldogs were never able to catch up as Liberty took a 13-7 victory.

The Lady Eagles also defeated Waynesville during the tournament, who, for the past two years won the Zizzer Classic defeating Hannibal in 2013 and Notre Dame in 2012. It was an outstanding performance by the Lady Eagles who fought hard and gave it their all.

passed away on Saturday, April 26, 2014, at his home in Mountain View, Missouri, at the age of 81 after a three-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, with a fond memory of listening to the boxing matches of fighters such as Joe Lewis and Tony Zale over the radio with his dad.

After graduating from St Louis Park High School, he chose the field of forestry and graduated in 1957 from the University of Minnesota.

Jim met the love of his life, Jeanne Lenora Kendall, in St. Louis Park. They married on October 5, 1957. This was followed by short-term employment with the U.S. Forest Service before entering the military service as 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Artillery. Following his military service, Jim and Jeanne moved to Ely, Minnesota, where he was a forester in the Boundary Water Canoe area. Living in Big Fork, Minnesota, he served as Assistant Ranger in Marcell, Minnesota, and then proceeded to Bena for another assistant position. He then moved on to a Job Corp Center in Isabella, Minnesota, to direct the Works Program. In 1967 Jim held his first Forest Service Ranger position at the cut Food Sioux Ranger District in the Chippewa National Forest Service in northern Minnesota. From that point on, Jim and Jeanne named all of their subsequent nine dogs ‘Chippewa’. Jim was decorated as Forester of the Year in Minnesota in 1972.

Jim accepted a transfer in 1973 to the District Ranger position with the Mark Twain National Forest in Cassville, Missouri. Then in 1978 he was reassigned as Recreation Staff

Officer with the U.S. Forest Service in Rolla, Missouri. Soon after, he was moved to the Eleven Point Ranger District in Winona, Missouri. His primary job there was to manage the Eleven Point National Scenic River. Jim wrote the Master Plan and the Prototype Recreation Management Plan for the Eleven Point area and developed miles of the Ozark Trail.

After 38 years of employment with the U.S. Forest Service, Jim retired and he remained in the Mountain View area. While in Mountain View, volunteerism became a major effort in his life.

He became President of the Mountain View Senior Citizen Housing. In addition, he became more deeply involved with the St. John Vianney Catholic Church in training lectors and landscaping the church grounds. Jim was instrumental in establishing the Twin Pines Society of American Foresters Forestry Education Center near Winona, Missouri. He was active in assisting the city to manage parks and other recreation developments. He served as Chairman of the Mountain View Parks Recreation and Tree Board for a number of terms.

Jim worked feverishly to make the parks a safe environment for the Mountain View public, including the removal of hazardous trees and limbs. Significant improvements were made in the parks by the Park Board, including new signage.

Jim’s dedication to the value of trees showed up dramatically with the planting of 700+ trees on the Mountain View golf course. He and other volunteers continued to work on the pruning of the trees that were planted on the course. Jim worked with the Mountain View Rotary Club in establishing the ‘If Trees Could Talk’ trail, designed to educate school children, scout, and the general public in the value of trees to people. The same thing was accomplished at the Twin Pines Conservation Education Center near Winona. Jim’s love for all of nature, especially in the planting and caring for God’s beautiful trees, is his legacy that will live on for generations to come. His imprint was made in every community he lived in

because he became enthusiastically involved in all he did.

“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

(Albert Pike) Jim always felt blessed to have been born a Catholic and believed that giving back to God is an important part of life.

He believed in service to God, service to people, and putting the control in God’s hands, and he could support that through a tremendous amount of prayer.

His favorite bible verse was Romans 10:9-11. Jim’s strong passion for the great American outdoors was fed by years of camping and traveling the U.S. with his spouse and their four children, and hunting or fishing on the rivers, lakes, or through the ice. He was an avid golfer and also a faithful fan of his beloved Minnesota Vikings and Twins. All who have known Jim have been entertained by his stories and jokes or have been the ‘victim’ of his harmless pranks.

Jim is survived by his wife, Jeanne, his daughter Dianna Koehne and her husband Tony, of Severna Park, Maryland, his daughter Therese Ruzicka and her husband Mark, of St. Louis, Missouri, his daughter Debbie Schrader and her husband Troy, of Kansas City, Missouri, his son David Roles of Mountain View, Missouri; 10 granddaughters, 6 grandsons, 1 great-grandson, and family and friends across the country. He was preceded in death by two infant children.

He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Jim repeated throughout his life, “I feel truly blessed”.

In Lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, pancan.org/donatenow, or to the City of Mountain View Memorial Park Bench Fund.

Visitation will be held at Yarber Mortuary, Mountain View, Missouri, on Wednesday, April 30, 2014, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Funeral mass will be at St. John Vianney Catholic Church on Thursday, May 1, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Online condolences can be sent at www.yarbermortuary.com

Walk Your Way to Better Health

The Standard News minutes to your walks next week and keep adding five minutes until you are walking as long as you desire. It’s also a smart idea to start and finish your walk with a few simple warm up and cool down stretches. Stretching will make you feel better and help prevent injury.

How far: Any walking is better than none, but most fitness professionals recommend walking about 30 minutes, five days a week. Research has shown that the 30 minutes can be broken up throughout the day – 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there. Or, for optimal health benefits aim for 10,000 steps per day, which is the equivalent of about five miles.

How fast: The right walking speed depends on your fitness level. Ideally you should walk at a brisk pace that has you breathing heavily, but you are still able to carry on a conversation.

Staying Motivated While starting a walking program takes initiative, sticking with it takes commitment. Here are some tips to help you stay motivated: - Find some walking buddies: They can provide motivation and support along with companionship and security.

- Use a pedometer: These nifty little gadgets – available in sporting goods stores for around $25 – measure how far you’ve walked in steps and miles, providing motivation by spurring you to meet a particular goal and showing you if you’ve met

it. Or, if you’re a smartphone user, consider downloading a pedometer app like accupedo.com or runtastic.com. ]- Join a walking club: To find one in your community call your local medical center, mall, health clubs, YMCA, running shoe stores or Area Agency on Aging to see if they sponsor or know of any clubs or groups. Or try the American Volkssport Association (ava.org) and American Heart Association Walking Club (mywalkingclub.org), which let you search for noncompetitive walking clubs in your area, or start one.

- Keep a journal: Use it to keep track of your walking minutes, steps, or mileage and total it up at the end of each week to see how you’re progressing.

- Get a dog: Studies have shown that dog owners are much more likely to take regular walks than non-dog owners.

- Listen to music: An iPod or MP3 player can also make a nice walking companion. Check out walk.jog.fm to find great walking songs that will match your pace.

- Have a backup plan: If bad weather, allergies or other factors limit your outdoor walking have a backup plan like walking at your local mall, buying a home treadmill or joining a health club.

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me some tips on starting a walking program?

I need to lose weight and get my blood pressure under control, but I hate to exercise.

Unfit at 59 Dear Unfit, More than 25 years of research has shown that walking may be the single best exercise you can do to improve your health.

It burns calories (about 100 for every mile you walk) which will help you lose weight, it builds endurance, enhances muscle tone and it doesn’t pound your joints.

It also helps improve or prevent many age-related health problems including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis and dementia.

MDC seeks public input on management of Peck Ranch As Peck Ranch Conservation Area (CA) nears its 70th year as a conservation area, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is seeking visitor input during the month of May to develop an area management plan to guide the next 10 years. This massive conservation area is

one of nearly 1,000 conservation areas owned or managed

by MDC. The state agency is in a multi-year process of updating management plans for its conservation areas and is inviting public comment. For Peck Ranch, the process begins with an opportunity for the public to share suggestions

Wheat Management workshop University of Missouri Extension will host a Wheat Management Workshop on Tuesday, May 6 at 12:00 p.m.

The workshop will take place at the Howell County Extension Office in West Plains Missouri. The cost of the workshop is $10 to cover the cost of materials and the meal.

Jill Scheidt, Regional

Agronomy Specialist from Barton County will be the presenter. The topics presented include: planting techniques, seed treatments, fertility requirements, pests, diseases, insects, and winter injury.

Pre-registration is requested.

or ideas from May 1-31 about how Peck Ranch should manage or modify its trails, waterways, and forest land.

The area’s 23,763 acres of rugged, forested hills and hollows are home to Missouri’s newly restored elk herd, collared lizards, white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and many other valuable wildlife species. Limestone and rhyolite glades provide natural openings among the oak-pine forest that dominates the region. Narrow ridges range from 900 to 1,000 feet in elevation with the area’s highest point, Stegall Mountain, reaching 1,348 feet above sea level. Rogers Creek and Mill Creek, which flow into the Current River, meander through the area. Peck Ranch

provides visitors with wildlife viewing, deer and turkey hunting, hiking, and many other outdoor recreation opportunities.

“Missourians care about conservation and use conservation areas for many different reasons,” said MDC Director Bob Ziehmer. “These areas help people discover nature through various activities and help make Missouri a great place to hunt, fish, and enjoy outdoor activities. We want to know how conservation areas are important to Missourians.

was so powerful that the National Weather Service later nicknamed it the Super Derecho.

While newspapers reported on this storm - floods, tornado damage, and sadly, seven deaths over four states – the magnitude of forest damage was not well covered, nor was it immediately understood. The brunt of the storm hit sparsely populated, heavily wooded areas, and some of the worst timber damage was inaccessible, deep in the Mark Twain National Forest.

A newly published history piece examines the impact of the Super Derecho on Ozark forests and the people who manage them and who depend

on them: landowners, loggers, forest industries, and natural resource agencies.

Authored by environmental writer Denise Henderson Vaughn, “Derecho! The forgotten windstorm that changed the Ozarks,” appears in Forest History Today and may be accessed at: http:// www.foresthistory.org/Publications/FHT/Index.html Vaughn will present the May 8 slideshow describing the derecho’s impacts on forests and people. The event will be held at 7:00 p.m. that day at the Ozark Natural and Cultural Resource Center, 202 South Main, Salem, which is only a few miles north of some areas damaged by the storm as

Ozarks Fruit & Garden Review Raspberries in High Tunnels

by Marilyn Odneal Horticulture Adviser We have been working with our high tunnel at the State Fruit Experiment Station since 2011.

A high tunnel, or hoop house, is a structure similar to a greenhouse, except that it is not actively heated or cooled – the side walls are opened and closed to cool and heat the tunnel as needed. This allows growers to moderate the climate and extend the season to earlier production in the spring and later production in the fall. Our tunnel in Mountain Grove presently has perennial crops that include raspberries and peonies. Annual crops so far this year include lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, onions, potatoes and beans.

We planted lettuce and cole crops on February 18 and 19.

Even though the side walls were closed when the temperature was 45 degrees F or below, we covered the crops with 1.5 ounce row cover for extra protection when the temperature was predicted to drop down in

the teens or 20s. These protective blankets are also used in high tunnel production of winter greens. Later, on March 14, we planted onions. On April 8 we harvested the first of the lettuce and planted potatoes. We will plant beans soon.

Benefits of using high tunnels in crop production include greater and higher yield, season extension, and disease reduction. One of the reasons that high tunnels decrease the incidence of several diseases is that rain does not wet the plants and promote fungal diseases. Of course, we need to irrigate all of the crops in the high tunnel since they are not exposed to rain.

The number one commercial crop in Missouri high tunnels is fresh market tomatoes – the earlier tunnel tomatoes command a higher price than field grown ones. Other crops grown in tunnels include cucumbers, greens and herbs. Fruit crops like strawberries and raspberries are also grown in tunnels.

Primocane bearing raspberries are a highly perishable peren-

These primocane bearing raspberries in our high tunnel at the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station at Mountain Grove performed very well compared to those grown outside in the field. This row has been narrowed to 1 foot and will be further thinned to allow 3-5 canes per square foot. Thinning the hedgerow will help manage the new pest, spotted wing drosophila, by reducing the plant canopy. When these canes grow taller, they will begin to bear fruit this year.

nial fruit that sets a crop on first year growth. In several research projects, high tunnel grown primocane raspberries have demonstrated increased marketable yield, higher quality fruit, an extended growing season, and longer shelf life when compared to field grown raspberries.

At the experiment station, we planted three varieties of raspberries both inside and outside the high tunnel. Primocanebearing raspberries have done well in our high tunnel and outperformed those that we planted outside in the field for comparison. Josephine, with its bigger berry, was preferred over Heritage and Caroline in our demonstrational study based on data recorded 2011-13. We did not have any production problems until 2013 when the spotted wing drosophila arrived in our state for the first time. This pest necessitated weekly pesticide sprays be applied to the hedgerows. To help manage the pest, we are going to reduce the canopy of the raspberries by thinning the hedgerow to 1 foot wide, and then thinning the emerging primocanes to 3-5 per square foot.

Although the perennial raspberry crop does well in the high tunnel, the problem with is that they occupy that space year round so other annual crops cannot be rotated into it. Next week we will talk about a new project at the State Fruit Experiment Station that addresses this problem. Until then, enjoy spring!

Derecho’s 5-year anniversary commemorated Almost five years ago, on May 8, 2009, a windstorm with unprecedented ferocity swept 1000 miles across the Midwest. It spawned 23 tornadoes in Missouri alone. In the Ozarks, the storm toppled trees on thousands of acres and some people’s power was out for more than two weeks.

On the storm’s anniversary, a free lecture about its impact on Ozark forests will be held in Salem.

Cooperation of several groups beautifies MV Public Library

Library Project - The back of the Mountain View Public Library has a new look this spring. A walkway was installed to connect the arbor area and the sidewalk. This project is another one of cooperation between several groups. Wal-Mart donated imperfect pavers to the Mountain View Garden Club. The City of Mountain View provided materials including gravel and sand. Staff and students from the Whetstone Boys Ranch provided labor along with the garden club volunteers to make this area more attractive and inviting for library patrons. The Mountain View Garden Club is a member of the South Central District of the Federated Garden Clubs of Missouri and Central Region of the National Garden Clubs, Inc.
