Mtn. View Garden Club July Bed of the Month
Yard of the Month - This month's Mtn. View Garden Club Yard of the Month goes to Elaine Horgan. We stepped just outside the box this month and choose her lovely porch for Yard of the Month. Elaine lives in the Briarwood Apartments located at 414 E 5th St. Her porch is a wonderland of flowers which include Black-eyed Susan Vine, Verbena, Marigolds, Nasturtium, Cardinal Vine, Rose Moss, and Peace Lily. Containers of Petunias line the porch rail. What really caught our eye was the huge Shamrock house plant. There are two large Tomato plants just off the steps in buckets. She also has decorated the porch with Humming Bird feeders, a colorful painted hanging window, wind chimes, patio furniture, and a chiminea. We are very proud of the work Elaine does with her apartment porch, and the pride she has in her flowers. As she says, "Everyone doesn't have a yard. Since I don't I just plant in pots.

Piney River Brewing wins four awards at US Open Beer Championship Piney River Brewing won a gold and three silver awards at the US Beer Open Championships on July 4th. The competition featured over 4,000 beers from 90 different styles from breweries from around the world. An international panel of judges gave the awards based on blind taste
tests. Piney River’s Crankbait Cream Ale received a gold award in the “American Cream Ale” category. This beer is a spring seasonal for the brewery, so it is no longer in production until next spring. Three silver awards were given to Piney River for
Resilient Federal Forests This week the House of Representatives voted to improve our national forests with The Resilient Federal Forests Act. This bipartisan bill helps the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service provide more efficient land management while protecting the environment. Our district is rich with natural resources, and one of the most abundant is timber. In southeast and southern Missouri, we manufacture everything from railroad ties and telephone poles, to cabinets and wine barrels. But radical environmentalists have made timber production difficult, ironically to the detriment of our forests. Right now, timber harvests are so low that trees are dying before they can be cut down. When a tree dies, the wood eventually loses all economic value and poses a severe fire hazard. The Resilient Federal Forests Act, passed this week, will make harvesting easier and contribute to jobs, local economies, and the health of the forest. Previously, if industry wanted to harvest timber, radical environmental groups could come in, sue the Forest Service, and end up delaying local management plans. With this bill, environmental groups trying to cause disastrous delays with frivolous lawsuits are required to pay the legal fees of the Forest Service any time they lose a case. There were 1,125 lawsuits filed against the Forest Service between 1989 and 2008, and that serial litigation significantly impacts Missouri’s 396 sawmills and log brokers. The bill also improves habitats for wildlife like turkey and deer by streamlining project planning and giving the Forest Service more flexibility in managing the land. It allows for more local control, and it accelerates the rehabilitation of areas impacted by wildfires. Finally, this bill expands how Secure Rural Schools funding may be used. Firefighting is added to the education and public safety projects already allowed under Secure Rural Schools funding. Our counties depend on this funding to make up for the short coming in timber production on federal land. Before radical environmentalists made timber production difficult, a portion of the timber sales harvested on federal lands were given to the forest’s home county. Expanding the types of expenses the funding can cover gives counties more flexibility to address local needs.

Award Winning - A line up of the four Piney River Beers that won awards at the US Beer Open Championship - Crankbait Cream Ale, Black Walnut Wheat, McKinney Eddy Amber Ale and Hobby Farm Ale. (Photo provided to the Standard) Ale received the silver in the “Irish Red Ale” category. This beer is made year round by the brewery. It was the first beer Piney River packaged for distribution at the brewery in 2011. Black Walnut Wheat is the brewery’s flagship beer, and it took a silver in the “American Style Dark Wheat” category. This beer is made with locally sourced black walnuts. Hobby Farm Ale is Piney River’s current seasonal beer, and it’s brewed with honey and fresh basil. Hobby Farm Ale’s silver was in the “Herb and Spice Beer” category. “Once again, it’s a great honor for us to shine the spotlight on the Ozarks with these four awards,” Brian Durham, owner and head brewer at Piney River Brewing, said. “Our goal has always been to make high quality craft beer, and these awards show that the hard work of our brewing team is paying off.” Piney River has also won gold awards at the World Beer Cup, the Great American Beer Festival and the Best of Craft Beer Awards. All of Piney River’s beers
are packaged in 16-ounce pint cans and kegs and sold for distribution throughout the Ozarks. Distribution is available in Missouri through Bluff City Beer in Cape Girardeau, Poplar Bluff and Herculaneum; Grellner Sales in Rolla, West Plains, Camdenton and Sedalia; Heart of America Beverage in Springfield and Joplin, and NH Scheppers in Jefferson City and Columbia. Glidewell Distributing in Fort Smith distributes Piney River beer throughout the state of Arkansas. Currently a $1.2 million expansion is underway on the Bucyrus farm where the brewery is located. A larger brewhouse, fermentation and packaging line are part of the expansion in a 12,000 square foot building located next to the original barn where the brewery began. Plans are currently underway for Piney River to expand distribution to St. Louis in the fall. Eventually, the brewery hopes to distribute beer throughout the entire state of Missouri.

Missouri’s Gun Rights Upheld
Not long after many felt federal courts dealt a hard blow with the same sex marriage ruling, Missouri courts upheld fundamental rights for each Missourian. The right to bear arms is so fundamental it was laid out in the founding days of our country and state. This is a right our forefathers understood and wanted to provide protection for. In 2014, 60 percent of Missouri voters supported the Missouri Right to Bear Arms Amendment. It was later challenged in the Missouri Supreme Court by groups backed by liberal anti-gun activists. Sen. Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, sponsored legislation that was passed. He also successfully saw the case, in regards to the amendment, through both trial court and Missouri’s highest court. The amendment established the unalienable right of citizens to keep and bear arms, ammunition and accessories associated with the normal operation and use of firearms, for the purpose of defense of that person, their family, home or property. The voter-approved amendment allows the state to limit the possession of arms by convicted felons and those deemed as mentally ill. Missouri citizens had the right to bear arms in defense of home, person and property, but the right was not considered “unalienable.” A person cannot surrender, sell or transfer, unalienable rights. Those rights are seen as being given after they are voted on, signed into law, and – cannot, under any circumstances – be surrendered or taken away. All individuals have unalienable rights. Other rights not defined as being unalienable can be amended or even eliminated. Senator Schaefer has worked hard to secure these rights for Missourians; citizens of this great state voted to include this as one of their most fundamental rights. I am pleased this issue is no longer in jeopardy due to the misinformed voices of a few. The Missouri Right to Bear Arms Amendment provides Missourians some of the strongest protections of their gun rights of any state in the United States. The amendment was and is supported by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Missourians Protecting the 2nd Amendment Committee. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

was a black zipper pouch open with a glass smoking pipe in it. This pipe was in plain view. The glass pipe had an off white burnt residue in the bowl portion of it and was immediately recognized as a meth pipe. Officers went to Neal who is the owner of the truck and told him what they saw and he gasped for air and said “well it ain’t mine, it must be Henry's”. Officers went to Winton and explained to him what they found and he said “it ain’t mine”. Winton said “I have a bag of cloths in the truck, but that’s it.” Officers collected the bag Winton stated was his and the cigarette packs out of the truck. Officers opened the glove box to obtain Neal's insurance card and found a used loaded syringe, a set of digital scales and a pill bottle belonging to a different person other than Winton or Neal and through the semitransparent bottle could see in among the pills a cellophane pack with 6 white pills in it. The pills were later identified as codeine which is a seclude II controlled substance. One of the cigarette packs contained two small zip lock bags with a crystal substance inside.

The home belonged to Angaline Ryan and Donnie Haynes and was noted to have been previously unoccupied earlier that day. Ryan was identified as the motherin-law of Hathcock. She reportedly would not engage investigator's in conversation about the incident. She had no questions about a shooting that happened within eye sight of her house and asked that the investigators leave and stated they were private people and the investigators were "disturbing their privacy". It was noted that the Haynes, Ryan house was the only residence in which you would see Hathcock's vehicle parked at her house. On April 14, 2015 surveillance footage was obtained from West Plains Bank showing Ryan leaving work around 12:12 p.m. and arriving back at work at approximately 2:29 p.m. On April 15, 2015 a search warrant was served at the Regional Title Incorperated, located at 122 East Main Street, West Plains. This business is owned by Ryan. A high standard .22 caliber handgun was recovered from a safe in the business with the serial numbers having been removed. Ryan stated the handgun had been given to her from her son, Jordan Hathcock who stated he obtained it from a friend who purchased it with the intent to kill his own wife. While serving the search warrant, investigators spoke to Ryan about her whereabouts on April 13, 2015. She stated that she went to lunch with her husband (Haynes) and checked on a house on Fourth Street. She reportedly would not give officers a straight answer as to if she went home on the 13 day of April. She stated that she did not have a .380 handgun. Later that day (April 15, 2015) investigators executed a search warrant at the residence of Haynes and Ryan. Several items were seized from the residence including a partial box of .380 Winchester ammunition. The following day (April 16, 2015) a search warrant was executed at the Ryan/Haynes property on Gunflint Trail in Ozark County. Several .380 casings were discovered on the property and were seized as evidence. The casings were sent to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab and were confirmed to have been fired from the same gun that fired the casings that were discovered at the crime scene at the Hathcock residence. That day, Ryan contacted investigators by phone stating she and Haynes had went home at lunch time on the 13 day of April to have intimate relations. Ryan again contacted investigators by phone on April 17, 2015 stated that she had gone home on the 13 day of April to get a zip drive.

A former business associate of Ryan stated that she had witnessed a stainless handgun with black grips in the possession of Ryan.

Troop G troopers participated in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) from Thursday, July 2, 2015, through Sunday, July 5, 2015.

Missing floaters in Ozark Co. located, safe At 10:05 p.m. on July 6, 2015, Troop G Headquarters received a report of three adults and three children, who were floating in tubes on the North Fork of the White River in Ozark County and had failed to show up at their designated take out point. A search of the area was conducted by a trooper and a deputy of the Ozark County Sheriff’s Department. Foggy conditions made a search by boat impossible. At around 11 p.m., an Ozark County deputy
located two adults at the trail head near Hammond Camp. They indicated the rest of the party was on a gravel bar near Rainbow Springs, so the trooper and deputy responded to that location. The nearest access point was over a quarter mile away, so the trooper and deputy made their way to the group by wading through the river, sometimes in chest deep water. The officers then carried the children back to safety. Captain Mark G. Inman,

commanding officer of Troop G said, “During the last few weeks, this type of scenario has played itself out several times in the Troop G area. Recent rains have caused

Motorists voted for favorite digital safety messages Drivers on Missouri’s interstates and major highways drive past one of 250 digital signs each day. The Missouri Department of Transportation posts safety messages on these signs. From mid-May to mid-June, more than 830 people voted on their favorite message out
of a list of 16 messages used on Missouri’s signs. The top three messages to receive votes are: 1. Pass on Left, Drive on Right 2. Put Down Your Phone and Drive 3. Turn Signals The Original Instant Message The primary purpose of the dynamic message signs is to convey critical information to motorists about lane closures or complete road closures. When the roads are clear of incidents, the signs convey safety messages to get motorists’ attention. “The results of the vote show us the messages regarding driver behavior concerns are the ones motorists like the most
including passing, distracted driving and use of turn signals,” said MoDOT Traffic Management and Operations Engineer Jon Nelson. “We also received many ideas for new messages from our customers, which we will incorporate into our messaging over the coming months.” Each month MoDOT staff develops a set of messages related to certain themes suited for a particular month or time of year. For example, July includes a DWI enforcement effort by the Missouri State Highway Patrol as well as heavy summer vacation travel and hot temperatures. Messages during July are focused on not drinking and driving,
buckling up, proper use of the passing lane and reminders not to leave kids in hot cars. The message themes change each month. “Our goal is to find ways to get the safety message to drivers so people will stop, think and make the right safety choice before they drive without a seatbelt or pick up their phone and text while they drive,” said Nelson. Missourians are invited to continue to submit their ideas for new messages. The space on the sign is limited to three lanes with 16 spaces on each line. Message topics and ideas can be emailed to MoDOT at MoMessageBoards@modot. mo.gov.

These are free quizzes that ask dozens of questions on your preferences such as climate, recreation, community size and more, and suggest possible destinations that best match your answers. There are also various media sources and websites, like U.S. News and World Report, Kiplinger’s, Forbes, Money magazine, Reuters, Bankrate.com, TopRetirements.com, the Milken Institute and AARP that publish top retirement location lists you may find helpful too. To find them, go to any search engine and type in “best places to retire” along with the name of the media source. You should also consider getting a subscription to “Where to Retire” magazine (wheretoretire.com, 713-974-6903), which is designed to help you find ideal retirement settings. A yearly subscription runs $18 for six issues. Once you find a few areas that interest you, your next step is research them. Here are some important areas you need to investigate. Cost of living: Can you afford to live comfortably in the location you want to retire to? BestPlaces.net and Numbeo. com offer tools to compare the cost of living from your current location to where you would like to move. They compare housing costs, food, utilities, transportation and more. Taxes: Some states are more tax friendly to retirees than others. If you’re planning to move to another state, Kiplinger’s has a tax guide for retirees at Kiplinger.com/ links/retireetaxmap that lets you find and compare taxes state-by-state. It covers income taxes, sales tax, taxes on retirement income, Social Security benefits taxes, property taxes, and inheritance and estate taxes. Crime rate: To evaluate how safe a community or area is, NeighborhoodScout.com is a top tool that provides property and violent crime rates, and crimes per square mile. Healthcare: Does the area you want to relocate to have easy access to good healthcare? To locate and research hospitals in a new area, use HospitalCompare.hhs.gov and QualityCheck.org. To search for new doctors that accept your insurance, contact your plan, or, if you’re 65 or older use Medicare.gov/physiciancompare. It’s also important to know that healthcare costs can vary by region, so you should contact your insurer to check out possible cost variables. Transportation: If you plan to travel much, or expect frequent visits from your kids or grandkids, convenient access to an airport or train station is a nice advantage. You should also investigate alternative transportation options, since most retirees give up driving in there eighties. To do this contact Rides in Sight (ridesinsight.org, 855-607-4337), a free transportation referral service, and the Area Aging Agency – call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 to get the local number. Other Resources To learn more about specific communities across the U.S., AARP’s new livability index (livabilityindex.aarp.org) along with Epodunk.com and GangsAway.com are three excellent resources, as well as the city’s chamber of commerce office. To locate it, go to any search engine and type in the name of the city and state followed by “chamber of commerce.” Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014” established the “Veterans Choice Program” with the goal of improving access to healthcare services for the nation’s veterans. Veterans that are eligible for the Veterans Choice service can contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to request authorization to see a TCMH doctor or midlevel provider or to utilize a TCMH service such a laboratory, radiology, physical therapy or surgery. Veterans Choice will authorize a referral to the healthcare provider and provide an authorization number so the charges are billed to the insurance provider and not to the veteran. “This is a great opportunity for TCMH to be able to provide care for area veterans that are part of the Veterans Choice program,” Wes Murray, chief executive officer at TCMH, said. Murray explained that TCMH joined the Veterans
Choice program after a local veteran contacted TCMH because he preferred local healthcare services rather than traveling to a VA healthcare facility. “It is definitely not convenient for our area veterans to have to drive a long distance to get services that can be provided quickly and conveniently at the local hospital or clinic,” Murray said. Eligible veterans must call the VA at 1-866-606-8198 and provide information from their Veterans Choice Card to request authorization to receive a service at TCMH or from a TCMH provider. “Any veteran that’s interested in seeing a local healthcare provider or using TCMH for a service just needs to get the authorization from the VA, and we will gladly take care of him or her,” Murray said. For additional information about TCMH services, contact Joleen Senter Durham, director of public relations at (417) 967-1258 or joleen@tcmh. org.

Grazing schools teach participants valuable lessons based on participant surveys; sign-up for Fall schools now Grazing schools in Missouri - conducted by University of Missouri Extension and the National Resource Conservation Service — have been a huge success based on surveys and testimonials from those attending. The two or three-day educational programs introduce attendees to a variety of soil, fertility, forage and economic considerations involved with planning grazing system. A popular exercise is the pasture allotment session. Teams of students view a pasture and determine how much space will be needed to provide grazing for a certain number of cattle for the next 24 hours. They are provided with step-in posts, poly wire, and watering supplies. Typically, the pasture is fescue. At the Mt. Vernon grazing school held in late April, the pasture was a novel endophyte fescue that was seeded in 2013. The test animals were five head of yearling dairy heifers weighing about 600 pounds. "The class of 39 was divided into three teams that decided the needed grazing
area for their heifers," said Eldon Cole, a livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension. "As a rule, the teams have the bigeye on the needed space and provide an excessive amount of forage. This year's teams were different, and one in particular overgrazed their small pasture." The allocation exercise is done early in the school, so the students are on their own as they evaluated the amount of forage available and expected intake by the cattle. "In this session the pasture was estimated at eight inches tall and only a fair stand since it was not a dense, established stand of fescue yet," said Cole. The novel variety also would be expected to be more palatable than the endophyte-infected Kentucky 31 variety. The instructions were to leave about a 3-inch stubble so the pasture would rebound sooner for another grazing bout in two to three weeks. "In periods of rapid growth, we suggest grazing fast and resting a shorter time before returning for the next grazing bout," said Cole.
During the school in Mt. Vernon, one group provided 1500 square feet of pasture that was over-grazed and will take longer to respond. The heifers probably only received about 11 pounds of the dry matter while their daily needs were closer to 14 pounds per head. The other two teams provided up to 4000 square feet, and their pastures looked much better. "Even though the one team over-grazed, it was an excellent learning experience for all of the students and all received their certificates at the end of the school," said Cole. 2015 CLASSES Dates for the Management-intensive Grazing (MiG) Schools in southwest Missouri have been set for 2015. Three sessions have already been held in southwest Missouri, but four others are planned for this fall. - September 15, 17, 22 and 24 (evenings) and Sept. 19 (Saturday field day, all day) in Greenfield.

MDC schedules bowhunter education classes, free courses July 25 Bowhunter education is not required by Missouri’s statewide game regulations. However, Branson is one of several Missouri communities that require individuals to be bowhunter education certified before they can archery hunt inside city limits. To prepare people for this and other archery opportunities, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will conduct bowhunter education courses this month in Branson and Rogersville. On July 25, MDC will hold a bowhunter education class from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Branson Joint Emergency Training Center, located at 1000 Pat Nash Drive in Branson. This course is open to people age 11 (by July 25) and older. Students age 15 and younger must bring a birth certificate or other proof of age. Individuals can register for this class at http://www.register-ed.com/ events/view/55509 Also on July 25, a bowhunter education course will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the LoganRogersville Fire Station near Rogersville, The address is 3427 S. State Highway 125. The requirements for this class are the same as the Branson course. Individuals
Bowhunting Classes - Archery hunting is a popular method for putting wild game meat on the table in Missouri. The Missouri Department of Conservation will conduct bowhunter education classes on July 25 in Branson and Rogersville. Bowhunter education is required to archery hunt in some urban areas of the state. The free classes can also provide good information for all bowhunters. (Photo courtesy of the MDC) can register for this class at http://www.register-ed.com/ events/view/63698 Even though bowhunter education is not a mandatory element of Missouri’s statewide archery regulations, taking a course is still a good idea for several reasons: • A number of cities that allow archery hunting inside their city limits require the hunter to be bowhunter education certified to take part. • Some owners of special corporate landholdings may require hunters to be bowhunter-education certified before they’re allowed to hunt on their
property. • A number of other states require bowhunter education before hunters are allowed to apply for or take part in archery hunts in those states. (Missouri’s courses satisfy these requirements.) • The courses can provide good information for newcomers to bowhunting and can be an excellent refresher for veteran archery hunters. More information about upcoming bowhunter education programs can be found by contacting your nearest MDC office or online at http://mdc.mo.gov/ node/9723.
