McClurg, as the suspect did not resist and no one was hurt during his apprehension. “I don’t think he thought we’d find him. He seemed a little sur-

View’s menu for the coming week, according to City Administrator Mike Wake. Also, city officials are expecting to begin receiving bids for a couple of services in the coming days. Chip seal preparation Street crews are cleaning approximately three-and-ahalf miles of road around the city pool, including Bay Street and sections of Third and Fifth
Streets. The road cleaning involves patching potholes and sweeping excess gravel, as well as last winter’s residual snow and ice treatment, from surfaces. “They should have fixed the potholes already,” Wake said of the city’s street crew. “If any new ones pop up, they’ll fix those.” Wake said no date has yet been set to start the chip seal itself, adding he hopes to have it underway sometime in August. Traffic in that area prob-
a b l y won’t be greatly affected. “A chip seal goes pretty quick, so t h e r e Mike Wake won’t be a lot of hang-up,” Wake said, adding drivers should be able to “pretty quickly” return to the road. City council meeting Monday See Update on Page 8

The streets were filled with Civil War re-enactors, 1138th Military Police of the National Guard, Willow Springs High School marching band, clowns and more.

Mtn. View’s new fiscal year began the first of July, with the city’s budget set at $7,264,944.12, with the idea of at least having revenues and expenditures breaking even at this time next year. During a recent city council meeting, Mtn. View City Administrator Mike Wake told council members there are a couple of budgeted items that are of significant amounts: three new vehicles for the police department and chip/seal project involving three-and-a-half miles of roads
A proclamation is set to be signed during the next Mtn. View City Council meeting 6:00 p.m. Monday, July 14, at Council Chambers which will declare the community a Purple Heart City. City Administrator Mike Wake, during a recent city council meeting, made a presentation to council members and Mayor Patrick Reed regarding that proclamation. Wake provided a letter penned by Department Adjutant for the Military Order of the Purple Heart Department of Missouri John Dismer inviting Mtn. View to make that proclamation. “So far,” Dismer’s letter reads in part,” we have nine counties and 29 cities and the State of Missouri. Plus I-44 and I-70 named Purple Heart Trails.” In recently speaking with The Standard, Dismer said there now are 10 counties and 40 cities with Purple Heart designations, as well as other organizations including the St. Louis Cardinals. The designation is pending for more entities, Dismer said, See Purple Heart on Page 12

for the street department. Projected revenue, he said, includes items such as new utility sales, grants and funding from taxes. The idea, he explained, is to set the budget so that revenue and expenditures match. Wake told The Standard there are a few items that consistently surpass their budgeted amounts, such as the parks, the swimming pool and the Dane Glass Municipal Golf Course. “They’re expenses the city pays for with sales tax receipts,” Wake said. Part of the city’s general revenue fund goes toward the fire and po-
lice departments, which also tend to run in the red and, despite some grant funding, the Mtn. View Senior Center will receive an approximately $16,000 boost from the city. The parks, Wake explained, generate no revenue. They park total on the budget is $122,677.37. The pool makes some of its own money, he said, but most likely will fall short of its budgeted $69,065. The golf course budget is set at $292,360.90, up roughly $8,000 over last year. As far as revenue, Wake added, the course is at pretty much the same place it was a year ago. The revenues total for the
parks, the pool and golf course – the three of which are under the umbrella of the parks department – is set at $484,103.27, roughly 6.66 percent of the city’s total budget. The total budget for the police department is $545,220.15; the fire department’s is $64,780. For the library, which receives little revenue aside from what is generated by fining people for overdue books, the budget is $161,626.03. “There are a lot of our departments in town that don’t See City on Page 5

Victims of Child Abuse Act As a nation, it’s our responsibility to protect children, the most vulnerable members of our society. Despite our best efforts, too many children in Missouri and nationwide still fall victim to abuse, often at the hands of adults they trusted. We must do everything we can to protect our children, and when they are harmed, deliver justice with-
out inadvertently causing any further damage. More than 20 years ago, Congress passed a landmark law, the “Victims of Child Abuse Act” (VOCAA), to partner with states in the funding of a network of innovative Children’s Advocacy Centers – safe and comforting facilities that provide critical tools for our communities to coordinate

Muriel Christine (Norton) Simpson was born March 27, 1931 at Winona, MO, the daughter of Jesse “Horner” Norton and Esther Catherine (Lindsey) Norton. She lived most of her life in Winona until the past year, when she went to live at the nursing facility at Mountain View, where she passed away on Thursday, July 3, 2014 at the age of 83. She was united in marriage to James “Venton” Simpson of Wilderness on December 28, 1949, and to this union four children were born. Muriel is preceded in death by her parents; husband Venton; sisters Lois Norton (in infancy) and Sue Turner; and her eldest son, Jim. She is survived by her children, David (Diane) of St. Charles, MO, Mark (Connie) of Winona, MO and Carol (Bob) Atkins of
Death Notices Muriel C. Simpson Winona, MO; her grandchildren, Jim’s son Jay, Dave’s sons James, John and Jay; Mark’s sons Steven and Brian, and Carol’s daughters Heather, Rebecca and Leea; many great grandchildren; sisters Margaret (Dean) Albert and Kay (Cecil) Leiby; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. As a young woman Muriel sang on the radio with a group of fellow musicians and friends Urel Albert, Vesta Weaver, Dobbie Leslie and others. After her marriage, when the kids were still young, she was the switchboard operator for the ‘central (telephone) office’ in Winona in the 1950’s. She then worked for the post office for many years before becoming the Postmaster, a position she held until her retirement. For many years, she donated her time and experience as a genealogist to the Shannon County
Escapee
Shannon County Sheriff Steven Blunkall said the trailer was behind a residence on Oak Street in Winona. Bradwell said he brought McClurg out of the trailer and handed him over to Blunkall, who took McClurg back to the county jail The chief added there is an investigation underway to find out whether anyone may have helped McClurg with his escape. On the lam since his Friday night escape, McClurg, who was being held without bond, reportedly had been watching a fireworks display with other inmates in an outdoor area at the jail when he got away. Blunkall said the Missouri State Highway Patrol
Donald R. Cox Historical & Genealogical Society, located at the Winona Library. She was a member of the Winona Christian Church from November 2, 1969 until she could no longer attend services. She was a devoted wife, mother, and a true friend with a quick intellect and a wonderful sense of humor. She enjoyed gardening, reading, and working on family genealogy. Services were held on Monday, July 7, 2014 at the Duncan Funeral Chapel in Winona, MO with Rev. Darrell Derryberry officiating. Interment was in Mt. Zion Cemetery in Winona, MO under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home of Winona, MO. Online condolences can be sent to www.duncanfuneralhomes.com
From Page One and G K-9 Search Team also assisted in the capture of McClurg. The sheriff’s deputy who took the inmates, 10 of them according to reports, outside to watch the fireworks has been fired due to violation of jail policy, Blunkall reportedly has said. McClurg is charged with 1st degree murder in the Sunday, May 4, death of his wife, 32-yearold Stephanie Driskell-McClurg. That day, he had called 911 to report his wife unresponsive and first responders found her deceased at the scene. During interviews with Winona Police officers and members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, McClurg originally
City generate the revenue (to meet individual budgeted amounts), but you supplement that with your general sales tax,” Wake explained. The budget lists projected revenue from the general 1.5 percent general sales tax at $805,000. Were the golf course a country club, Wake suggested, it possibly could make it out of the red, as fees to join would be more expensive. As it is, Mtn. View’s golf course is municipal, “so the people who can’t afford to be a member of a country club can play golf.” Membership fees at the Dane Glass Municipal Golf Course are $550 for families, $375 for singles, $345 for senior singles, $460 for senior couples and $100 for junior season passes. The course had six full-time employees, until the recent retirement of pro shop manager Grace Webster, and has put three seasonal staff members to work for the summer. One cut made to this fiscal year’s budget involved city officials’ decision to not renew the airport manager’s position. “That was probably the biggest change,” Wake said. “The primary job was to fuel planes and the fuel system has been down since last August.” The city has received $554,000 in grants from the Missouri Department of Transportation, funds slated to pay for a fuel system that accepts credit cards from customers, as well to seal and restripe the runway. Following discussion of the budget as it was proposed during a recent city council meeting, a motion was made by councilmen Jeff Wade and Paul O’Brien to adopt proposed resolution 1406-23 (approving the new fiscal year budget) and add a $612.14 surplus from the current fiscal year to help balance expenses and revenue. The motion carried after a rollcall vote was taken, with Wade, O’Brien and Larrt David voting in favor and Lindell Vandevort voting against it. Sun shines on generation ordinance Private electrical generation, particularly solar power and its cost, was briefly discussed during a recent Mtn. View City Council meeting. Council members agreed that City Administrator Mike Wake should gather sample ordinances, then consult the city attorney to draft a city ordinance, in regard to allowing private electric generation in the community. “If you put a system in, and you don’t meet what you use,” Mtn. View resident and business owner Bill Elchols said of selfgenerated power, “it’s essentially the same as not using it.” That

stated he had taken the couple’s son to visit family and found his wife dead when he returned home. He also told lawmen he had Propranolol, a blood pressure medication, stolen, and that he did not report the medicine stolen or refill the prescription. He later described to officers how he had made the Kool-Aid drink in a water bottle while he was in Winona, gave it to DriskellMcClurg and told her to like it because their 2-year-old child had made it for her. Several subjects came forward at the time, telling lawmen McClurg had described to them how he had been trying to poison his wife.
From Page One causes a penalty of sorts for a person not using electricity from the grid, he suggested. Echols, who uses solar power at his business, told council members that customers who generate electricity would need to be paid 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour generated, as opposed to the 4.5 cents now, to make such an undertaking cost effective. HiSET funding secured Funding has been approved to extend a high school equivalency program in Mtn. View, and pay its instructor, by city council members. The instructor of Mtn. View’s High School Equivalency Tests (HiSET) program, Jon Owen of Mtn. View, addressed members of city council during a recent meeting, telling them HiSET actually replaces the General Educational Development GED program. Owen said since mid-February, he has been teaching the classes and, “Since that time, I have also conducted four other weeks of these classes my own time,”for a total of 14 weeks with the students. Right now, he said, four students regularly attend sessions, with two having assessed successful completion of the program’s test. One of those students, he added, is planning to attend nursing school this fall. The two students who have taken the test have shown proficiency in most academic areas, but would benefit from additional time taking the courses. With non-traditional students, Own explained to council members, “sometimes things come up, and they are not able to attend.” Despite that, he said, those students of whom he spoke have made indications that they want to see their educations through to completion. The courses for the program are conducted at the Mtn. View Public Library.
Council members decided to budget $100 for the HiSET program, which would pay $10 per hour for Owen to continue it. Mtn. View: Tree City USA… again Mtn. View received a state honor and a new budget during a regular city council meeting Monday, June 23, at council chambers. Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) Resource Forester Audrey Beres and Parks and Recreation Tree Board Missouri (PRT) member Alice Hand were at the meeting for the presentation of the Tree City USA award – the 15th year Mtn. View has received the distinction, an accomplishment reached by only 81 cities, according to Beres. Beres said Mtn. View takes pride in its community and trees through the efforts of volunteers. To apply for the designation, a city must appoint a tree board, adopt a tree ordinance, celebrate Arbor Day and hold Arbor Day events for fifth graders at the local elementary school. Also, the city must spend at least $2 per capita on tree care. Beres said Mtn. View spent $7.20 per capita last year. Beres recommended the city apply for a Trim Grant to help with future tree projects, and said that the riparian buffer zone near the library was partially funded by Trim Grant II funds. Those types of grants are a 25 percent match, she said, adding the city could math with equipment use and volunteer hours, among other options. Hand, who is acting president of the PRT board Honors and Memorial program talked to council members about implementing an honors and memorial program for the parks. She presented materials for council members to review and said the board will come back later this summer, allowing time to look over the materials.

Have problem wildlife? MO Dept. of Conservation can help Get help with nuisance wildlife and learn how to prevent problems at mdc.mo.gov/node/2573. Most Missourians love wildlife — unless it gets a little too close to home. Need help keeping bats from roosting in the attic, deer from decimating the garden, Canada geese from greasing the lawn, raccoons from raiding trash cans, and other critter control? The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) offers online, callin, and — when necessary — in-person help with controlling unwanted wildlife. MDC Wildlife Damage Biologists Jim Braithwait and Daryl Damron emphasize that prevention is the best cure.
“The best way to deal with problem wildlife is to keep it from becoming a nuisance in the first place,” Braithwait says. “They’re like us. They need food, water, and shelter. Don’t provide these three things, and they will find someplace else to live.” Don’t feed wildlife. “Feeding wildlife, even unintentionally, often ends with a problem situation that could have been avoided,” Braithwait says. “If you leave out pet food or greasy grills, you should expect raccoons, opossums, and even bears (if there’s a popula-
tion nearby) to come to dinner. Don’t put out stinky garbage before collection time, and don’t feed birds during summer months. They have plenty of natural forage this time of year. Keeping birdfeeders full in summer can make nuisances of raccoons, squirrels, deer, bears, and other wildlife looking for easy pickings.” Protect small pets. “Both urban and rural citizens should practice good pet stewardship by keeping small pets inside, or on a leash or within reach while outside,” Damron says. “Because we
Riverways Reflections by Superintendent Bill Black There has been a lot happening at Ozark National Scenic Riverways in the last month. Visitation has been steady at our campgrounds, landings, and concession operations. Campers have been enjoying a variety of new weekend campfire programs this summer. Everyone is invited to attend these programs at our campground amphitheaters on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m., even if you’re not camping in the campground. The cave tours at Round Spring have also been well attended. If you haven’t visited Round Spring Cave recently you should stop by for a tour at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m., though you may want to come early to get tickets before the tours fill up. Contact Round Spring Ranger Station at 573323-8093 for more information. Over the past weekend, Alley Mill was open for the first time this summer and was the site of our Alley Spring Independence Day Celebration. Visitors enjoyed free watermelon and lemonade while enjoying square dancing and music provided by the Western Grand Squares and the Shortleaf Band. The project to rehabilitate Alley Mill has continued to progress very well. If you haven’t been out to Alley Spring this summer, now is the time to stop by and see the old red mill with a fresh coat of bright red
paint and a new roof. It’s a breathtaking sight, in contrast with the beautiful blues and greens of Alley Spring. The mill will be open 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends for the remainder of July, with restoration work continuing through the week. Alley Mill will also be open daily from August 1-17 and after that will be closed again for construction of an accessible walkway up to the mill. We are anticipating all work to be finished before the “Haunting in the Hills” event in October. We are continuing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Ozark National Scenic Riverways. A concert series will feature talented local musical groups in July and August. You can enjoy Current River Bluegrass at Alley Spring on July 19 and at Pulltite on August 30, with both concerts beginning at 7:00 p.m. Buzzard Run will perform at Big Spring on July 26 at 7:00 p.m. A formal anniversary program will be held at Big Spring on August 23 at 6:00 p.m., featuring guest speakers and musical entertainment. I would like to recognize and appreciate some recent efforts by our dedicated and skilled park rangers. On the afternoon of June 29 torrential rain caused flash flooding along numerous creeks between Van Buren and Winona. When it became clear that the community of Fremont was threatened by the rapidly rising
water, the Carter County Sheriff’s Department reached out to the park’s Swift Water Rescue Team for assistance evacuating residents. Eight park rangers deployed four patrol boats to assist other emergency responders from the county and state with the rescue effort, which resulted in all residents being shuttled to safety. Rangers also launched boats on the Current River to warn campers and floaters of the need to move to higher ground as flooded creeks poured into the river, causing a rise of over 8 feet in just a few hours. Several search and rescue operations were conducted by park rangers that evening and the next day due to park visitors being stranded. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries suffered as a result of the localized flooding. We did implement some temporary closures in the Big Spring area, but park facilities sustained no serious damage and all areas were opened the next day. I would like to thank MoDOT and Carter County for quickly completing repairs to open M Highway before the Independence Day weekend. For more information about upcoming activities, call park headquarters at (573)323-4236 or visit the park’s Facebook page or website at www.nps.gov/ozar for regular updates. Be safe and enjoy your park!
build so much green space into our communities, even cities host populations of predators such as coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and birds of prey, which may attack small pets left unattended. Keeping small pets inside most of the time also prevents them from attacking and killing small, sometimes declining, wildlife such as reptiles and songbirds.” Don’t invite wildlife to set up house. “If you have brush, junk, or rock piles around your house, or if your roof has an opening, you will have mice, rats, skunks, groundhogs, bats, squirrels, raccoons, snakes, lizards, and other critters making themselves at home,” Damron says. “Keep rock gardens and walls well maintained, and inspect your roof and eaves yearly. If people have woodpeckers hammering their siding, they’re probably looking for insects. Call a pestcontrol contractor to eliminate the issue and the woodpeckers will find other places to forage.” Give wildlife time to move on. “Some wildlife will go away on their own if you give them a chance,” Braithwait says. “We get lots of complaints about foxes, especially in spring and summer. Just give them a month or two and they’ll be gone because fox families disperse in the fall. Meanwhile, if you’ve got a problem with squirrels, you can count on foxes to set their num-
bers back a bit.” Get professional help if the problem is too big to handle. “If you have a threatening situation, such as a coyote or a bear threatening livestock, pets, or family, call your local MDC office,” Braithwait says. “Our wildlife-damage biologists can investigate and help you deal with the offending animal in a way that’s legal, safe, and humane.” Consider hunting and trapping. “If you’ve changed your habits, cleaned up your property, fixed the holes in your eaves — and you’ve still got problems — consider hunting or trapping or inviting hunters or trappers onto your land during specific hunting and trapping

Fremont flash flooding, ONSR responds Torrential rain of over 6 inches fell on a small concentrated area of the Current River watershed on the afternoon of June 29th. The Carter County Sheriff’s Department requested emergency assistance for the threatened and trapped residents of Fremont, Missouri from flash flooding of Pike Creek. Ozark National Scenic Riverways responded to the emergency by providing eight rangers and deploying four patrol boats to help the flood victims. More typically seen on the
Current and Jacks Fork Rivers, the park’s Swift Water Rescue Team was running their boats across submerged streets and pastures to reach people stranded in their homes by rising water. About fifteen people, including two infants and at least one dog, were transported safely to higher ground by the rangers. “It was pretty challenging, as sometimes the boats were in ten feet of water, and other times in just a few inches with pavement below,” recalls Ranger Lindel Gregory who was the National Park Service’s
Type 4 Incident Commander on the scene. Ranger Chris Figge reported that they faced hazards not typically seen on the river, at one point hitting a submerged dumpster with his boat. “Lots of propane tanks broke loose floating down the flooded creek. At one house, a propane tank had crashed into the house and the valve was open, filling the house with propane. Seven folks were rescued from that house, which could have been a very dangerous situation. A lot of people lost everything they had,” Figge said.
Ranger Gregory adds, “The entire town was underwater, but luckily there were no serious injuries that we were aware of.” The National Park Service was one of several agencies on the scene working together to help people. The Carter County Sherriff’s Department was the lead agency with assistance from the Van Buren Fire Department, the Missouri Highway Patrol, and local citizens.

Purple Heart and 23 cities have yet to respond. Dismer said the idea came about after a Purple Heart Trail was organized from Washington D.C. to California, with each state designating a Purple Heart Highway. That accomplishment required approval from the state legislature and the governor’s signature.
The purpose of the program is to make Americans aware of what the Purple Heart, the military’s oldest formal recognition, is all about, Dismer explained. “If you get wounded or shed blood in combat, if you get blown up, shot, whatever, you get the Purple Heart,” Dismer said, adding medics and doctors where
From Page One wounded soldiers receive treatment are responsible for filling out the necessary paperwork. “A lot of people don’t know what the Purple Heart means,” Dismer said. “It’s not like the Silver Star or the Medal of Honor. Somebody has to put you in for those.” To receive the Purple Heart, he said, one must be
wounded by the enemy. “You don’t go out looking for it, that’s for sure.” Dismer said the Purple Heart originated with General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. At that time known as the Badge of Merit, Washington bestowed the heart-shaped recognition upon enlisted men who were outstanding in
their fields. Since the Badge of Merit was not authorized by Congress, Washington crafted them himself from purple cloth, the color associated with royalty. The Badge of Merit laid dormant until 1932, when it was resurrected by General Douglas MacArthur to commemorate the bicentennial of Washington’s death.
It was during World War II that the Purple Heart shifted recognition from commemorating bravery and recognizing soldiers with wounds to exclusively acknowledging those who sustained combat injuries and died in battle. In cases of soldiers’ deaths, Dismer said, the Purple Heart is presented posthumously and given to the next of kin.
