Independence man arrested for possession of child pornography The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control announces the arrest of Kevin E. Moore, 33, of Independence, Missouri, for two counts of possession of child pornography videos. The arrest was the result of a lengthy online investigation conducted by members of the Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Investigative Unit. On March 31, 2016, investigators executed a search warrant at a residence located on the 1700 block of North Trail, in Independence. As a result of the search warrant, investigators located child pornography videos. Moore was arrested and transported to the Independence Police Department, where he is being held on $100,000 bond. The Patrol was assisted by officers from the Independence Police Department. The charge for which Moore has been arrested is mere accusation and is not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

ty officials consider options for filling the head coaching position on a permanent basis. NJCAA officials suspended Walker for the first five games of the 2016-2017 regular basketball season; however, due to Walker’s resignation, NJCAA officials told university officials the suspension will not apply to a new coach. “At Missouri State-West Plains, we are committed to following all of the NJCAA rules and regulations,” said Chancellor Drew Bennett. “Our coaches know that this is a requirement. When we discovered there were issues, we requested an internal audit. We reported all findings and are now working with the NJCAA to assure them we will adhere to all regulations in the future.” Dr. Angela Totty, dean of student services and athletic director, discovered the budgetary issues during the summer of 2015 during a routine end-of-year review of the athletics department.

Gun sales, permits on the rise by Laura Wagner
Gun sales and conceal carry permits are on the rise and there seems to be no end to the incline in numbers. One can only speculate on the reasoning behind the drive for such an increase but one thing is for sure ... Americans are exercising their Second Amendment Right. The rise was first noted as the FBI reported through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System or NICS that gun sales increased from 2,243,030 in November 2015 to 3,314,594 in December 2015. Gun sales soared to more than 2 million more in 2015 than from 2014 gun sales.

area to close temporarily
Ensuring the population stability of a popular wildlife resident is the primary reason behind the upcoming closure of the refuge area at the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Peck Ranch Conservation Area. Peck Ranch Area’s refuge will be closed April 1 to July 1 to minimize stress and human interference during the elk calving period. Peck Ranch is home to about 120 elk, the majority of which roam on Peck Ranch’s 11,500-acre refuge. The spring closing of Peck Ranch’s refuge has been an annual occurrence since MDC’s elk restoration project began in 2011. Public access will still be allowed to the approximately 12,000 acres of the area that are outside the area’s marked refuge fence. Peck Ranch Conservation Area encompasses more than 23,000 acres in Shannon and Carter counties. Peck Ranch’s elk-viewing automobile route is included See MDC on Page 9

Lady Eagles host first home game of the season by Laura Wagner Mountain View Standard News laura@mvstandard.com
Just six games in and a record of 5-1 the Lady Eagles will face several challenges throughout the season. As a young and inexperienced team the Lady Eagles will look to Seniors Taylor Pulliam, Hanna Vines, Bailey Wagner, Guadalupe Salinas and Jaci Mantel for leadership. The young talent on the team falls to Freshmen Amanda Mantel and Sophomore Kristina Stockton who have been playing the game for numerous years and are comfortable on the field. “We knew were going to struggle early in the year,” explained Head Coach Joey Spittler. “But as we learn to play together and get used to where each other will be, we should start doing a lot better.” The season began at the Lebanon Tournament where the Lady Eagles faced Southern Boone, Lebanon and Crocker. Liberty fell to Southern Boone, a final four team last year in Class 3, 5-0. The second game against Lebanon, another playoff team in Class 4, was a 2-0 loss. Ending the tournament, the Lady Eagles defeated Crocker 3-2.
Traveling to Branson on Tuesday, March 22 the Lady Eagles lost to the Lady Pirates 0-1. The match was played on an extremely windy day and the Lady Eagles couldn’t get anything going defensively or offensively. The second away game of the season had the Eagles traveling to Kelly High School for the first time in Liberty soccer history. The Lady Hawks defeated the Lady Eagles 3-1. Scoring for the game was Freshmen Amanda Mantel. Taking to the pitch on Tuesday, March 29 for the first home game of the season, the Lady Eagles welcomed the Republic Lady Tigers. For the first twenty minutes of the game the two teams battled back and forth. Then, 25 minutes into the first half, a Lady Tiger blasted through a cluster of Eagle defenders, shot low and to the right zipping it into the goal. The Lady Tigers would score two more times during the 28th and 37th minute of the game. During the 18th minute of the second half the Lady Eagles scored on a fast breakaway by Bailey Wagner. Feeding off of the momentum, Freshman Amanda Mantel scored in the 26th minute. As the Lady Eagles were
closing the gap an unfortunate handball in the box set Republic up for a penalty kick and an easy goal. The battle was on as both teams waged war on the field. Republic had a total of ten fouls while Liberty only had five. Keeper Jaci Mantel had to play a very physical and aggressive game in the box where not once but twice a Lady Tiger collided with her. One of those times as Mantel caught the ball she was struck by a Lady Tiger who flew over her. The ball flew out of Mantel’s hands on impact and rolled just feet away allowing the Lady Tigers to swoop in and score, 5-2. Ending the game, with just 16 seconds left in the match Republic struck for the final time. Despite the end score of 2-6 Head Coach Spittler was pleased with the outcome. “This was the best we have played all year. Republic is probably the best team we will play all year. We played right with them for a long time but in the end their depth really was too much for us to overcome. We are finally getting things figured out and getting used to playing together.” The Lady Eagles will play two more home games on Monday, April 4 against West Plains and on Thursday, April 7 against Rogersville.

Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District purchases new suburban The Mtn. View-Birch Tree School District recently purchased a new 4x4 Chevrolet Suburban for $43,695. The purchase was approved during the March board meeting in hopes to ease the burden of the district’s
school bus and school bus driver woes. The suburban will allow smaller groups of students and teachers to travel to academic and sport related competitions without the expense of taking a school bus.
A hand-up, Not a hand-out
I don’t have the typical pedigree for a Congressman, my father was an auto mechanic and a preacher, my mother was a factory worker. As a teenager, I remember visiting my grandparents for the holidays and having to go outside to pump water out of the cistern which had collected rain water from the roof just to have fresh water. However, I learned firsthand the disciplined work ethic needed to be successful and put myself through college, becoming the first college graduate in my family. I understand how hard it can be to escape the cycle of poverty, especially in southcentral and southeast Missouri. 1 in 5 people living in Missouri’s 8th Congressional district struggle with poverty every day. In 2010, of the 30 counties in our congressional district, 20 had less than half of the number of adults gainfully employed. The typical answers in Washington have been disheartening – more money, more programs, less results. Instead of creating incentives for people to work hard to get themselves out of poverty, of the over 80 different government programs established to combat poverty, we spend over $1 trillion each year with no improvements in this country’s overall poverty rate. We would be better off just writing a check for $22,000 to each of the 46 million people living in poverty in this country. Rather what your government has created is what is actually known as the “poverty trap”. The Poverty Trap is any self-reinforcing mechanism which causes poverty to persist. In this country today, for far too many people stuck in poverty, it does not pay to get ahead. Federal government poverty programs are actually creating incentives for people not to work. The people who have the highest marginal tax rates in this country are not the super wealthy. Instead it’s single mothers who struggle to make ends meet and rely on certain government programs for assistance. Under our current support model, if those mothers accept a pay raise from their employer, they actually lose more money than they gain since their reported income will go up and they will no longer be eligible for certain federal support. Where is the incentive to fight for that raise? We have created disincentives to work. People want to work. People want to contribute to their communities. We have to restructure our programs to encourage work, not discourage folks from taking raises for fear of losing benefits. Speaker Ryan engaged the House of Representatives to become the House of Ideas. That’s why I’ve taken a leadership role both on the Ways and Means Committee on Human Resources and on the newly created Task Force on Poverty, Opportunity and Upward Mobility. Our mission is to work together to strengthen America’s social safety net to better help those in need; improve education and training so more can succeed in today’s economy; help welfare recipients enter, reenter, and remain in the workforce; and empower everyone to live their own American Dream. As the task force and the Committee continue to work together, we will present bold conservative solutions to reduce poverty by helping people move from welfare to work. In the words of President Ronald Reagan “We should measure welfare’s success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many people are added.” I will continue to keep poverty reform as one of my top priorities in Congress, because I know that the only real way to solve poverty is to show people a path that encourages them to support themselves and their families. Ultimately, people need a hand up, not a hand out.

Death Notices Allan Charles Brewer Graveside services for Allan Charles Brewer were held on Saturday, March 26, 2016 at the Alley Springs Cemetery in Alley Springs, MO with Rev. Randy Ferguson officiating. Pallbearers were James Brewer, Chris Brewer, John Mark Brewer, Art Brewer, Austin Brewer, and Allan Brewer. Honorary Pallbearer was Sara Beth Brewer. Arrangements were under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home, LLC of Eminence, MO. Allan Charles Brewer was born October 6, 1939 in St. Louis, Missouri, and was the son of Arthur Brewer and Alpha Opal (White) Brewer. He passed away March 24, 2016 at his home in Eminence, Missouri, at the age of 76 years. He was united in marriage to Nancy Lee Randolph on November 19, 1963, and to this union 3 children were born. He was preceded in death by his parents Arthur and Alpha Brewer, his brother, Arthur Joseph, and his sisters, Annette Alene and Ann Marjorie. He is survived by his wife of 52 years Nancy, his 3 sons, James, Chris, and John Mark, 5 grandchildren Art, Sara, Austin, Allan and Brett, his sister, Jean (Brewer) Mooney, his brother, Jim Brewer, Betty (Buckley) Hodge, who lived with Alpha for several years, as well as a host of cousins, nieces and nephews, extended relatives, and friends. For the first four years of his life, Allan lived with his parents and siblings on Simpson Place in their one floor of their three floor flat next to his Aunt Ollie and Uncle Jim Lobiando which was located in the Lafayette Square neighborhood. After his parents decided they were done with city life, they returned to the country where his mother Alpha was raised near Big Creek and Blair’s Creek on Mill Hollow Creek
on the upper Current River. Although Allan was never a man of many words, he loved being in the company of others. As a child, he would love to sit under the kitchen table and hear his mother and other women carry on about the goings-on in the neighborhood. They called him “Little Big Ears.” Allan was very close to his Grandmother, Missouri Iowa (Williams) White Ellerman, and her extended family. On Mill Hollow Creek, his family farmed and used other means for subsistence. When they decided to come to town, he moved with his mom and dad, and brother, Jim, to property adjacent to Alley Spring at the age of 10. Here they farmed at the old Drewell place. In the coming years of his youth, Allan met his fair bride and wife of many years, Nancy Randolph, and as he and his family became more involved in the tourist industry, owning and operating a motel and restaurant. After the sale of the motel and restaurant, Allan worked throughout the St. Louis Metropolitan area as a union carpenter. He would eventually work throughout south central Missouri as a carpenter. He hauled canoes, drove trucks, and never ceased to work. One of his favorite statements was, “you gotta work.” Although, any time you asked him, no matter what he was doing, he stated, “working.” He was a strong man with incredible work ethic and devotion to his family and loved ones as well as his friends. Allan spent his spare time helping the Missouri Department of Conservation regulate the population of our native species including deer, fish, squirrels, and turkeys. Sometimes he helped regulate the wildlife population with some of the fastest July hounds in the area. His fishing expeditions were fre-
Alta L. Heilig quented mostly to the Current River with his Mercury 200 horsepower jet boat. His favorite place to visit was Jerktail landing (Van Dorn’s) where you would see him on a daily basis. This was his stress reliever and someplace you could let the cares of the world go by. Allan was very proud to serve as the President of the Missouri Hunting Dog Association for many years. He said hunting dogs are the heritage of the people and George Washington was known to be fond of listening to his dogs run. He also served on the Sheltered Workshop board and the Alley Spring Cemetery board. Allan grew up in a Christian home and attended church regularly. Although he no longer attended services after leaving home, his upbringing stayed with him and was witnessed by his tender heart and thoughtfulness. Stan Welch visited with Allan recently at the hospital and Allan told Stan that he had accepted Christ and was right with God. He believed in life after death. Eventually, after working the first 40 years of his life, he found his true passion in his work life, which was making and selling ice. He loved it. Allan worked day and night to create the business, not only because of his passion for it, but for the love of his family and to provide for them because of that love. Allan made sure to have a good life. If he wanted something, he worked for it. If he wanted to do something, he’d just go do it. He had a real zeal for fully living the life he was given and to make sure others enjoyed it if they were with him. Allan left this world with his wife, Nancy, by his side surrounded by his family.

Battle
death, heaven and hell as characters often find themselves in front of heaven to discover their eternal destiny. From intense moments of heartache and drama, to humorous moments and laughter, the Battle takes audiences through a range of emotions and has helped to make it a popular event each year. “Last year we broke the record for how many attended, and how many made decisions for Christ,” explained Brian Ingalls, the senior minister of Mountain View Christian Church, “And each year we rewrite it completely so that it’s new and different. At the same time, though, the message always stays the same, and that message is Jesus.” Based on a literal understanding of the Bible, the drama presents hell as a real place, and faith in Jesus as necessary for gaining entrance into heaven. As various scenes take place on stage, background music and video are interwoven throughout. Even
From Page One indoor pyrotechnic flashes are used along with other effects. The result is a drama that draws the audience into an intense performance that focuses on death, the afterlife, and the biblical teaching on salvation. Due to the intensity of many scenes, the play is not recommended for children under eight years of age. Parents are asked to use discretion. “There’s only so much a play can do,” said Ingalls, “But we can hopefully give us all something to think about, and provide an opportunity for people to think seriously about their relationship with God, and take everyone on a crazy ride.” Admission is free for anyone wishing to see The Battle, but due to the large numbers who attend, Mountain View Christian Church recommends that church groups reserve seats by calling 417-9346843, or by registering online at www.ijesus.me. Just be prepared to have your soul shaken.

CDC test confirms MO traveler infected with Zika virus
Booster Shots Recommended for Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, I just turned 65 and would like to find out what types of vaccinations are recommended to Medicare beneficiaries, and how they are covered. Health Conscious Dear Conscious, Most people think that vaccinations are just for kids, but adults, especially seniors who tend to have weaker immune systems, need their shots too. Here’s a rundown of what vaccines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend for seniors 65 and older, and how they’re covered by Medicare. Flu (Influenza): While you probably already know that flu shots are recommended every fall to all seniors, you may not know that those over 65 also have the option of getting a high-dose flu vaccine instead of a regular flu shot. This vaccine – known as the Fluzone High-Dose – has four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. All annual flu shots are covered under Medicare Part B. Td/Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis): A one-time dose of the Tdap vaccine, which covers tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) is recommended to all adults. If you’ve already had a Tdap shot, you should return to getting a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster shot every 10 years. All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover these vaccinations. Pneumococcal: This vaccine protects against pneumonia, which kills about 50,000 Americans each year. It’s now recommended that all seniors, 65 or older, get two separate vaccines – Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23 – at different times. Medicare Part B covers both shots if they are taken at least 11 months apart. Shingles (zoster): Caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, shingles is a painful, blistering skin rash that affects more than 1 million Americans each year. All people over age 60 should get the Zostavax vaccine, even if they’ve had shingles before. All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover this one-time vaccination, but coverage amounts and reimbursement rules vary depending on where the shot is given. Check your plan. Varicella (chickenpox): If you’ve never had the chicken pox, this two-dose vaccine (called Varivax) is recommended to adults, and is also covered by Medicare Part D plans. Hepatitis A: This is a two-dose series of shots recommended to adults that have chronic liver disease, a clotting-factor disorder, have same-sex male partners, illicit injectable drug use, or who have close contact with a hepatitis A-infected individual or who travel to areas with a high incidence of hepatitis A. These shots are covered by Medicare Part D drug plans. Hepatitis B: This three-dose series is recommended to adults who are on dialysis, have renal disease or liver disease, are sexually active with more than one partner, have a sexually transmitted disease or HIV. These vaccinations are covered under Medicare Part B. Meningococcal: Adults 56 and older, who have had their spleen removed, have certain blood deficiencies or plan to travel to parts of the world where meningitis is common, should receive the meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. This is covered by Medicare Part D. To help you get a handle on which vaccines are appropriate for you, take the CDC’s What Vaccines Do You Need? quiz at www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched. Also, talk to your doctor during your next visit about what vaccinations you should get. If you can’t remember which vaccines you’ve already had, check with your past doctors to see if they have any records, or contact your state’s health department. Some agencies have vaccination registries (see vaccineinformation.org/ state-immunization-programs) that may help you. If you can’t locate your records, your doctor can give you blood tests to see if you’re immune to certain vaccine-preventable diseases. Or, they may just give you the shot. It’s safe to repeat vaccines, according to the CDC. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed a case of Zika virus in a pregnant Missouri woman who had travelled to Honduras, a known area of Zika transmission. This is the second confirmed case of Zika virus infection reported in a Missouri resident. Nearly 80 percent of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms. Typically, symptoms are mild and include fever, rash, joint soreness and/or redness of eyes. International health officials are examining the connection between pregnant women contracting the virus and a birth defect called microcephaly in their newborn infants. According to the CDC, babies with microcephaly often have smaller head sizes and brains that might not have developed properly.
According to the CDC, Zika virus has the potential to be spread through a mosquito bite, through unprotected sexual contact, through blood transfusion and an infected pregnant woman can pass Zika virus to her fetus during pregnancy. There is not currently a vaccine for Zika virus. The best prevention measure is to avoid mosquito bites in areas with ongoing transmission. There have been no reported cases of Zika virus contracted from a mosquito bite in Missouri. Ways to avoid mosquito bites while outdoors include wearing EPA-registered insect repellent with DEET, wearing pants and long sleeves, or remaining indoors in an air conditioned environment. The CDC is recommending pregnant women avoid traveling to Zika-affected areas which include coun-

“As part of my oversight of the athletic program, I noticed several inconsistencies in time sheets and overages in the men’s basketball budget and requested a full audit of the program by Missouri State University’s internal audit office,” said Totty. “The audit revealed additional issues in both programs. Once the audit was completed, we fulfilled our obligation as members of the NJCAA and self-reported all of the violations noted in the audit to NJCAA officials.” The audit reviewed athletics department documents back to 2010. Volleyball Infractions According to the Nov. 30 self-report filed with NJCAA officials, the volleyball infractions involved transportation benefits, meals, housing and laundry services provided to student athletes in excess of those allowed by the NJCAA. The greatest number of infractions involved transportation benefits; eight transportation infractions occurred between July 2012 and July 2015 and involved student-athletes traveling before Aug. 1, the date on which coaches can begin working with student-athletes. “Because of the fewer number of volleyball violations, we appealed the sanctions on the volleyball program, but were informed by NJCAA officials Tuesday (March 29) the appeal was denied,” Bennett said. The majority of issues with the volleyball program dealt with student-athletes, many of whom lived out of the country or across country, traveling to the university before Aug. 1. Eight such violations occurred during the five-year audit period, and in two of the violations, the student-athlete paid for the travel arrangements and was reimbursed by the university after Aug. 1, he said. There will be no personnel changes for the volleyball team as a result of the violations. Bennett said Grizzly Volleyball Head Coach Paula Wiedemann has proven her commitment to fair play and excellence. “Paula Wiedemann will continue in her position as head coach of the Grizzly Volleyball team,” he said. “She is a valued member of our athletic program, and we know she will lead the team into the future with integrity.” Basketball Infractions Many issues were found in the basketball program. According to the self-report: • There were 23 instances of providing benefits to student-athletes prior to their signatures and submissions of an NJCAA Letter of Intent; • 11 student-athletes received travel benefits outside of the one allowable round trip transportation benefit each season; • There were multiple instances of meals provided in excess of those allowed by the NJCAA; • Documentation showed improper funding of the team’s participation in an off-season league in Springfield over a three-year period, which is in direct violation of NJCAA rules; • A member of the athletics department staff provided two basketball student-athletes with cell phones, which is not allowed by the NJCAA; • Athletics staff, under direction from Walker, provided transportation for a student-athlete to the Howell County Courthouse, which is in excess of that allowed by NJCAA; • A member of the athletics department staff transported players to and from airports and fed some players in exchange for occasional cash payments from Walker. Moving Forward “As an institution, we remain committed to our athletic program and the value it brings to our campus and the community,” he continued. “We do expect the coaches to be well-versed on the NJCAA’s rules and regulations and to ensure there are no violations. “Moving forward, I have complete trust and confidence in Dr. Angie Totty, our dean of students and athletic director. We are fortunate to have administrators who are willing to make the difficult decisions needed to preserve the integrity of the program when these types of issues are uncovered. We are committed to following the rules and to maintaining the highest standards in both of our athletic programs.”

From January to June 2014-2015 (data obtained through the FBI semiannual uniform crime report) Springfield saw an increase in violent crimes from 942 to 1,063 instances and an increase in murders from 5 to 7; St. Louis saw an increase in violent crimes from 2,284 to 2,806 and an increase in murders from 58 to 92; Columbia saw an increase in violent crimes from 162 to 274 and an decrease in murders from 2 to 1; Kansas City saw an increase in violent crimes from 2,735 to 2,987 and an increase in murders from 35 to 36. Overall from 2014 to 2015 violent crimes across the nation increased 1.7% and murder increased 6.2% As far as politically motivated reasons, the Obama Administration is continually trying to put a stop to violent crimes. Their answer, restrict citizens Second Amendment rights. Missouri District 142 Representative Robert Ross had this to say about the issue. “I believe the Obama Administration is misguided in focusing to restrict law abiding citizens. Time and time again we see the proposals he has and they are not going to prevent a criminal from getting a firearm. It will only hinder the law abiding citizens. The law abiding citizen is always the one that is hindered, burdened or harassed. They never target the criminals that need that focus. As an elected official I will do whatever it takes to defend our second amendment rights.” Anderson added, “The urgency of classes seem to be fueled by a distrust in government and that most are looking to have the means of protecting themselves before that right is taken away.”

Hillsboro fisherman takes state-record black buffalo The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports thatTravis Cardona of Hillsboro became the most recent record-breaking fisherman in Missouri when he shot a giant black buffalo on a lake at Duck Creek Conservation Area using a bow and arrow. The new “alternative method” record black buffalo taken by Cardona on March 14 weighed 74 pounds. He shot the fish at 11 p.m. in one of his secret “honey holes. “Believe it or not, once I

shot the giant, I didn’t know it was that big of a fish until it started swimming back to the boat,” Cardona said. “Believe you me, after it swam towards the boat the fight was on.” Cardona added that it took a total of four arrows to get the behemoth in the boat. “It was a five minute battle that seemed like an eternity,” he said. The new black buffalo broke the previous alternative-method state-record of 59-pounds-8-ounces taken
on the same body of water three days prior by David Burle of Bloomsdale. “The month of March has been full of potential record-breaking fish caught throughout the state,” said MDC Fisheries Programs Specialist Andrew Branson. “This just goes to show you that conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish.” MDC staff verified the new record-weight fish using a certified scale in Fenton. “Once my friends and I got the fish in the boat, we knew that it was a state-record fish,” Cardona said. “This is by far the biggest fish I have ever caught in my life, and I still can’t believe it!” The longtime angler said that the fish is in the freezer and will be sent off to be mounted very soon. “I already have a place on the wall picked out for this once-in-a-lifetime fish. Now I’m ready to get back out on the water and try to take another giant,” he said.
