Work on power lines delayed

Paddlefish Trafficking See Below

Mountain View Standard News john@mvstandard.com

A piece of equipment on backorder is delaying work on some power lines at Fourth and Pine Streets in Mtn. View.

“It won’t be this week,” City Administrator Mike Wake said of the task, which involves moving a connection from the middle of the street over to the side.

“So as soon as that part comes in, we’ll install it,” Wake said. “We’ll let everybody know when we plan to shut the power down and move that line.”

Wake has told The Standard he is hopeful that electricity in that area will be shut down no longer than eight hours as the project, planned for the overnight hours, is completed, and warnings will be issued ahead of time, before the power outages happen, via radio and Mtn. View’s Facebook page.

A full-width patch project is planned for North Ash Street, a task that will require closing the road as city crews do the work.

No time has yet been set, as Pace Construction of West Plains, the makers of the asphalt that is to be used, was not producing any as of Monday, Aug. 25.

“As soon as they fire up and produce some asphalt, we’ll get a truckload and do it,” Wake said. Wake said See City on Page 5

Mountain View Standard News office@mvstandard.com

What drop off? After dominating the scrimmages two weeks ago at the Jamboree in Cabool, the Liberty Eagles continued to roll when the games counted, destroying the visiting Caruthersville Tigers 52-14 on a sweltering Friday night in the season opener. It was the third year in a row for the Eagles to dominate a talented and athletic Tigers team.

Behind sophomore quarterback Josh Pruett,

the Eagles were balanced on offense with 199 yards passing and 205 yards rushing. Jansen Acklin led the team in receiving with seven catches for 133 yards and two touchdowns while Bryan Porter piled up five touchdowns and 116 yards rushing. For his part, Pruett’s first start was solid. The sophomore was 11 of 21 passing, for 160 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

City scolded for paving residents property

by John Deatherage Mountain View Standard News john@mvstandard.com

A resident railing at city crews for apparently paving her property, golfing during the winter months and a vine invasion were laid under lights of scrutiny during a recent Mtn. View City Council meeting.

Gwen Reese of Mtn. View took the podium to address Mayor Patrick Reed and City Councilmen Lindell Vandevort, Jeff Wade and Larry David (Councilman Paul O’Brien was absent) to discuss street easement and paving in the community.

“I’ve had numerous problems there with people

coming in from the park,” she said. “They actually come and stare in my window and today one of them killed my little dog. Reese said she thinks the person who hit her dog is a city employee, but is not certain. She said she called the police to come to the scene, as there were witnesses to the incident, plus a description of the ATV driver. Her dog being killed is an “important thing” Reese pointed out, because it could have been one of her grandchildren that moved in with her. “You know, they could have stepped out of the van on the other side, and the ATV could have hit him.”

West Plains Bank and Trust Company recently gathered administrators from the Mountain View-Birch Tree R3 School District for a check presentation totaling $5,470 from proceeds raised by the Bank’s Liberty Eagles School Spirit VISA Check Card program. The program, which launched in mid 2012, is in its second successful year.

According to West Plains Bank and Trust Company President and Chief Operating Officer David M. Gohn, the Bank is making it possible for customers to give back to area schools by doing something they may already do, everyday – use a debit card. The donated funds are provided by the Bank, not the customer or retailers.

“We have always held to the belief it is important to support education and it is clear our customers agree,” he said. “We are pleased to be the only bank in the area that gives back to the schools with each swipe of a Liberty Eagles School Spirit VISA Check Card. The total jumped from $3,190 last year to $5,470 this year. ” “The cards are full color and display the Eagle mascot,” Gohn said.

first day with an additional student on the way. The need to hire a new teacher and a tight budget had the Mountain View-Birch Tree School Board perplexed on the best way to resolve the situation.

"Our issue is, we thought we were in good shape. Now we have 29 students and we think we have another one coming to enroll which will give us 30. This is a lot of students for one Kindergarten class," began Superintendent Jerry D. Nicholson. He went on to add that they can have 25 students per teacher plus with an aide, they can have up to 35 students in a class and still be within the state standard. Birch Tree Elementary Principal Robert Bennett added to further complicate things, the aide that is currently in the classroom will be leaving in December.

Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced today that a Colorado man has pleaded guilty in federal court to illegally trafficking in paddlefish caviar after being caught in an undercover operation in the Warsaw, Mo., area.

During March and April 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Missouri Department of Conservation conducted a covert investigation, “Operation Roadhouse,” centered on an area known as the Roadhouse in Warsaw. As part of the covert operation, state and federal officers operated a paddlefish snagging business. Covert officers also sold paddlefish to people who were interested in buying them.

Eagles very well,” said Liberty Head Coach Darin Acklin on Monday, “We executed at a high level for the first game of the year.”

That passing grade extended to the offensive and defensive lines that faced a stiff test against the athleticism of the Tigers. “Caruthersville defensive linemen were big, athletic kids, that play with a lot of effort!” said Coach Acklin, “(The) Liberty offensive line did not execute perfectly all night, but they played as a unit, played hard with great effort, and have great chemistry together! Defensively I like the way we corralled their athletes and did not give up a big play. Our defense was sound in gaps, had great effort on pursuit angles and overall executed our game plan... The whole offensive and defensive execution, I think resulted from the late July team camp we went to at Western Illinois University.”

Liberty performed well at that camp and performed well at the Jamboree and nothing changed Friday. Before the Tigers hit a big play against the Liberty JV in the fourth quarter, Caruthersville had managed only 70 yards of total offense, while the Eagles had taken a 52-6 lead.

“Bryan Porter ran the ball like he was hungry…He was very explosive and smelled the end zone all night,” said Coach Acklin of the senior running back. Coach Acklin also gave a nod to a certain wide-receiver who stepped

From Page One out of his brother’s shadow.

“Jansen Acklin played a great game, both as a wide receiver and as a defensive back. He produced a lot of yards after catch and as a defensive back had several crucial tackles and an interception that broke any momentum Caruthersville had.” It all added up to a 45-6 lead by halftime, and turboclocked second half as the Eagles crushed the Tigers 5214.

Liberty started the game with a trick play. Pruett tossed the ball to Andrew Raider who lofted a pass to Jansen Acklin for 39 yards and a first down at the 30 yard line of the Tigers.

Caruthersville's defense, considered one of their strengths this season, managed to hold Liberty to four yards on the next three plays. On fourth and six, however, Acklin picked up the first down on a pass from Pruett.

The Tigers defense made another stand by sacking Pruett and backing the Eagles up, but on third and 15, Pruett handed the ball to Porter who plowed up the middle for all fifteen yards. Two plays later, Porter went up the middle again for the first of his five rushing touchdowns. The Eagles led 7-0 to start the new season.

Defensively, the Eagles stuffed Caruthersville for the entire first quarter, not allowing the Tigers to pick up a single first-down while forcing three punts and one fumble. The Eagles offense took advantage.

Andrew Raider returned the Tiger's second punt to the

Caruthersville10 yard-line giving Liberty a first and goal to start their third drive. In the beginning, Liberty went backwards. A holding penalty backed them up ten yards, and Pruett was sacked to bring up a fourth and goal from the 24yard line.

No problem. Pruett tossed to Acklin again on a widereceiver screen, and this time no one was going to catch him as he raced all 24-yards for the touchdown, picking up key blocks from Andrew Raider and Luke Daniels along the way.

Liberty struck again almost immediately as the defense forced a fumble and returned it to the Tigers' 25 yard-line.

Porter did the rest. Liberty's leading running back took a draw play up the middle for 19 yards for a first-down at the six yard-line. He took the next handoff into the end-zone for a 20-0 Eagles' lead.

The Eagles scored three consecutive times to start the second quarter. The first came after Acklin took another pass from Pruett into Tigers' territory. Mixing the run and the pass, the Eagles drove to the 9 yard-line, and on 3rd down, sophomore Marcos Rodriguez lowered his shoulder and bulldozed through the defense for his first touchdown of the year.

Liberty extended their lead to 33-0 after Caruthersville fumbled the kickoff.

Sophomore linebacker Steven Shoup recovered the loose ball, and starting from the

Tigers' 41, the Eagles drove 59 yards in five plays. Another sophomore, Brenton Bush, kept the drive alive with a 7-yard pass reception on third and four. Two plays later Porter capped off the drive with a two yard touchdown run.

The Tigers finally put together a drive on their next possession, picking up three first-downs and moving to the Liberty 5 yard line. Quarterback Peyton Faulkner kept the ball on the next play and took it in for the touchdown. That put Caruthersville on the board, trailing 33-6, but the Eagles kept rolling.

After Porter grabbed a short Tigers' kick-off and returned it down the sideline to the Caruthersville 36 yard line, Liberty needed just one play to find the end-zone again. Pruett passed to Acklin on a deep slant for the score and a 39-6 Liberty lead with 4:59 left in the second half.

With just over a minute left

before halftime, the Eagles took over at the Caruthersville 34 following a Tigers' punt and drove to the 17 yard-line and with 8.8 seconds left. That’s all Porter needed as he took a handoff down the sideline for his fourth touchdown. Liberty had a 45-6 lead.

Acklin intercepted Faulkner and returned it to the Caruthersville 11 yard-line to start the second half. On Liberty’s first play, Pruett ran the ball to the one, and Porter punched it in for his 5th touchdown. Leading 52-6, it was time for the Junior Varsity.

“We were fortunate to be ahead to get them some playing time,” explain Coach Acklin, “We have some good young skill players coming up and we got to evaluate them versus varsity players. Caruthersville didn't put their younger players in, so we couldn't get anything flowing offensively and the defense gave up a 79 yard touchdown.”

That touchdown came early in the 4th quarter when Raspberry Terrance took a wide-receiver screen and out-ran the defense for the score. The Tigers made a two-point conversion to make the score 52-14 Liberty.

“Hopefully (the younger players) learned that it’s not as easy as our starters make it out to be sometimes,” said Coach Acklin, “If you put in the work and learn from the older players, the coaches, you have a chance to be that guy, but as a younger player, you must put in your time first! You cannot replace experience when it comes to football.”

Besides giving up one touchdown, the JV defense held the Tigers the rest of the way, with several younger players making nice stops. Coach Acklin added, “It will be fun to watch them grow into great players.”

That it will. This week the Eagles travel to Springfield Catholic. Game time is 7 pm.

Raider's 58-yard punt return in the 1st quarter set the Eagles up for their second touchdown. He finished the night with 100 return yards, caught two passes for 40 yards, and threw a pass to Jansen Acklin on the first play of the game that went for 39 yards.

Blunt to speak on ENFORCE the Law U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (RMo.) is scheduled to make an appearance 11:15 a.m.

Thursday, Aug. 28, in the West Plains City Hall council chambers to speak about the recently introduced “Executive Needs to Faithfully Observe and Respect Congressional Enactments of the Law (ENFORCE the Law) Act. According to Blunt and more than half of the members of the Senate Republican Conference, the act is to ensure that the president upholds his constitutional obligation to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

The ENFORCE the Law Act

puts a procedure in place to permit Congress to authorize a lawsuit against the executive branch for failure to faithfully execute the laws.

The legislation also provides for expedited consideration of any such lawsuit – first through a three-judge panel at the federal district court level, then by providing for direct appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“It’s the president’s constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the law, and Americans are rightly concerned about executive overreach and dysfunction under the current administration,” Blunt said.

“This bill restores the system

Strike Zone Bowling Scores

of checks and balances and reiterates the importance of the Constitution’s curb on runaway executive branch power.”

The bill is co-sponsored

by U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Dan Coats (R-Ind.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Johnny Isakson (RGa.), Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) John Thune (R-S.D.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), David Vitter (R-La.) and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).

4th District U.S. Representative Trey Gowdy (R-Spartanburg, S.C.), 6th District U.S. Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-Roanoke, Va.) and 49th District U.S. Representative Darrell Issa (R-Vista, Calif.) introduced the House companion bill (H.R. 4138) back in March.

Also co-sponsors of the legislation are 8th District U.S. Representative Jason Smith (R-Salem) and 2nd District U.S. Representatives Ann Wagner (R-Ballwin).

Riverways Reflections

Farm Tour Highlights Eighth District Agriculture Agriculture is the number one industry in Missouri. Our Eighth Congressional District is home to a great variety of agricultural interests. Our district is one of the most diverse agriculture districts in the country growing everything except sugar and citrus fruits. In the fertile Missouri Bootheel we grow cotton, rice, corn, soybeans, wheat, peanuts and even raise catfish. In stark contrast to the Bootheel stand the Ozark Foothills where we have cattle, dairy and timber producers.

This week and next, I am traveling our district and listening to the challenges farm families are facing on my two week Farm Tour. Although each farm is unique and each crop or animal raised is different, the message from each visit is the same: Washington regulations are hurting Missouri farm families.

I have always been a believer that the best ideas do not come from bureaucrats. The best ideas come from people who actually roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. The information I am learning on the Farm Tour will help me fight oppressive regulations in Washington and advocate for common sense farm policy.

At visits across our district this week I was able to hear directly from producers. In Gordonville, I visited a walnut tree farm that not only produces high quality walnuts, but also grows seeds for future tree plants. At a cotton gin in New Madrid, I heard about how federal policies are impacting our regions cotton farmers.

In Oregon County I visited a family-run Berkshire pig farm that is dedicated to producing great pork products for chefs across the country. Benton is home to one of the largest dairy farms in Missouri that uses the latest technology to improve efficiency.

In Bloomsdale I toured a goat farm that makes award winning cheeses that are sold nationally. At a corn farm in Dexter, I listened to the concerns and future prospects for Stoddard County farm families.

Agriculture is truly the lifeblood of our district. As your representative in the halls of Congress I have been an advocate for responsible farms policies to ensure Missouri farm families have the certainty and security they need to stay in business.

While the Eighth District is home to some of the most diverse agricultural production in the world, every single producer’s message to me has been the same: we need less Washington and more common sense. In the House of Representatives I will continue working to end the burdensome regulations that hurt farm families in Missouri and fight for common sense ideas as policy is being created.

Being Proactive About Propane One of the biggest worries to my constituents early this year was the price of propane. In less than a week, the price went from about $1.25 a gallon to nearly $5. While current propane prices in Rogersville are about $1.69 a gallon, we know from past experience they will not stay there for long.

An investigation into propane prices found that an "unusual combination of market forces" led to higher prices throughout the Midwest, early in 2014, according the Missouri Attorney General's Office.

The attorney general’s investigation concluded that an unusually cold and early winter and record propane exports depleted propane inventories and the market responded with record price increases.

Initially, the cost increase has been blamed on a shortage in propane.

Farmers had to use high amounts of propane to dry wet crops late in fall of 2013, the weather that fall and winter the weather has been historically cold.

The United States is also exporting more of the low-

OzSBI offers two business workshops in September The Ozarks Small Business Incubator (OzSBI) will offer two workshops in September.

Both of the workshops will be held at OzSBI at 408 Washington Avenue in West Plains.

Did you know that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has helped many Americans just like you to start, build and grow businesses all over the country? The workshop, “Understanding SBA Loans,” will help you gain a better understanding of the SBA’s programs and services available to help you start or expand your business.

Ron Martino who has more than 30 years Commercial & SBA lending experience will be facilitating the workshop. He is currently with Arvest Bank as one of their SBA Business Development Specialist.

This workshop is offered Thursday, September 18th, noon to 1:30 pm. It is free

Wednesday, August 27, 2014

and includes lunch with preregistration. The deadline to register is Friday, September 12th.

Are you challenged to keep up with the daily routines in your established business, knowing you need to do more to focus on growth, but uncertain what to do?

“GrowthWheel” is a handson, action-oriented program designed to help entrepreneurs at all stages overcome their barriers to growth.

All businesses, from preventure start-ups to established enterprises, must address four key challenges. They need to have an attractive business concept, lasting customer relations, profitable operations, and a strong organization.

Attendees will participate in hands-on workshops introducing the GrowthWheel toolkit and will learn how empowering it is to work with certified GrowthWheel

mentors.

The “GrowthWheel” series will be held every Tuesday beginning September 9th and continuing through October 7th, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 pm.

Registration deadline is Friday, September 5th. The Premier Workshop cost is $179 for non-members and $149 for OzSBI members. Registrations received after the deadline will cost an additional $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers.

All registered attendees will be given access to an oline folder with PDFs of GrowthWheel materials. Drinks and snacks will be provided at each session and the wrap up session will include a certificate presentation and celebration mixer.

cost fuel than ever before.

However, none of these reasons can account for the fast price hike consumers felt early this year.

The Senate called upon our Attorney General to investigate the propane gas price hikes. After the request, he opened an investigation into the cause of the increase in prices and to look into consumer complaints filed with the Consumer Protection Division about the surge. The Senate also conducted a hearing on a resolution that urged the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the price increase of propane, the price disparity of propane among storage facilities and the supply shortage of propane available to consumers. Congressman Jason Smith worked with his Missouri colleagues to look into matters on the federal level.

I am worried about the cold reality of winter setting in, and along with the fact that prices very well may rise again. Which will leave many in the same situation they were last year: trying to decide to eat or heat their homes.

In uncertain economic times, it is hard to plan ahead and save, and I understand that. But that is exactly what we need to try to do to avoid the price increases and almost emergency state when there are no funds and no propane to heat our homes and businesses.

As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol, however during interim I may be in district.

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.

This weekend we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Ozark National Scenic Riverways. In August 1964 the “enabling legislation” that established the park was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. This was the first successful national legislation enacted to preserve a river in its free-flowing condition, and was the model for the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. It was the culmination of the joint efforts of local residents, community leaders, politicians, and environmentalists to save the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers from suffering the fate of hydroelectric dams that befell other Ozark rivers. Thanks to their passion and dedication, we are continuing to enjoy the rivers as they envisioned a half century ago.

The formal anniversary program will be held on August 23 at 6:00 p.m. Bring a blanket or lawn chair to the Depression Era Cabin near Big Spring to enjoy guest speakers and the historic film Forever Yours, which features a trip down the Current River

by Leonard Hall, one of the activists who fought to preserve the rivers. Musical entertainment will be provided by Alex Riffle and the Stiff Riffs.

We will continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary with other special events and with an employee reunion to be held on Sunday, October 12. All former employees are invited and we are asking for help to make sure we don’t miss anyone. We’ve had the great fortune to work with so many wonderful folks from our local communities over the years. If you or someone you know worked for the Riverways, please contact park headquarters to make sure we have your correct mailing address. Invitations with reunion details will be mailed soon and we don’t want to miss anyone. We hope to see many of you there.

The project to rehabilitate Alley Mill is still continuing to go very well. Much of the work has been completed, but there are still a few tasks remaining, including the construction of the accessible walkway into the mill. The mill will continue to be open on weekends from now until the Haunting in the Hills event on October 11. We are hopeful all work will be completed by that date.

The hot, dry summer weather has kept the rivers busy recently.

The past several weekends have been big for our campgrounds and concessions. I want to express my appreciation to all of our park concessioners. They are valuable partners who help the National Park Service meet the needs of our visitors. Recently a new concession contract was awarded to Eugene and Eleanor Maggard for Akers Ferry Canoe Rental. The Maggard family has operated the store and ferry at Akers for many years.

Concession contracts were also recently awarded to Shane and Kim Van Steenis for Alley Spring Canoe Rental and Two Rivers Canoe Rental, and to Stacy and Michelle Smith for Current River Canoe Rental and Carr’s Canoe Rental. Each of these concession contracts was issued for a 10-year term to provide canoe and tube rentals with shuttle services, camp store and retail merchandise, and firewood sales. The combined years of experience that these longstanding concessioners bring to the table equals many years of providing quality visitor services.

We are still planning to begin work on the restoration of Big Spring Lodge and Cabins in 2015. The prospect of renewing and revitalizing these wonderful historic structures and the entire Big Spring Historic District is very exciting! While the lodge and cabins will be closed for an extended period in order for major renovations to take place, the rest of the Big Spring area will be open as usual. This includes Big Spring, the campground, pavilions, boat ramp, and trails. We understand that the thought of the lodge and cabins being unavailable is disappointing to many, but this will allow the entire project to be completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

As summer winds down, I hope to see many of you out enjoying the rivers. 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!

Death Notices Betty Lou Best Betty Lou (Craig) Best of Mountain View, MO passed away on Thursday evening, August 21, 2014 at St. John’s Hospital in Tulsa, OK at 81 years of age.

She was born April 6, 1933 in Eunice, MO to Lucien and Edna Lay. She attended a rural, one-room, school in Eunice, MO for 8 years and graduated from Summersville High School with a perfect attendance record for all twelve years.

In January, 1950, she was united in marriage to Fred H. Craig, Sr. of Summersville, MO. From this union, 4 children were born: Sonya Bock (Steve) of Advance, MO; Sheila Tyler (Charles) Summersville, MO; Fred Craig, Jr. (Julie) of Mountain View, MO; and Donnie Craig (Beverly) of Birch Tree, MO. She married Franklin Best of Winona, MO in June, 1982 until his death in 2012.

She is survived by 9 grandchildren: Craig Bock, Hope Best, Chad Allen, Lori Holden, David Allen,

city officials also are planning asphalt patching along Drake Street, which runs between Sonic Drive-In and Mudbusters Carwash.

“When they [Pace Construction] fire up their pavement, we’ll go buy it and do that,” Wake said.

“Hopefully, it will be sometime this week.

A city-wide brush pick-up is planned for the week of September 15 – the month’s third week.

“Typically it’s the last week of the month,” Wake said of the cleanup, which takes place every other month with the exception of July, due to city crews being busy with other undertakings that month.

Because July was skipped, he said, crews are expecting a little more brush than usual.

The September brush pickup was bumped up a week due to Pioneer Days, scheduled Saturday, Sept. 27, in Mtn. View. “We didn’t want the extra duties while trying to get ready for that as well,” Wake

Board

The board deliberated several options keeping the children their, "number one priority" and yet trying to maintain the budget without dipping into the red.

Board member Kent Smith stated after questions arose about the cost of hiring a new teacher, "Obviously our first priority is educating the kids, but we have to keep the budget in mind."

"We don't want to put those kids at risk, this is their foundation," argued board member Shelly Mantel.

Board member Keith Tharp

Christopher Tyler, Dillon Tyler, Tenille Gauldin, and Eliza Craig-Swindle. 17 great-grandchildren were an added joy to her life.

A brother, Kenneth Lay (Nadine) of Houston, MO; a sister, Wilma Burger (Michael), of Tulsa, OK; her fiancé, Dutch Parsons, of Bartlesville, OK; and numerous nieces and nephews also survive.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lucien and Edna Lay, and 2 sisters, Imogene Hines of Sullivan, MO and Udeena Boyd of Houston, MO. She was employed by the Paramount Cap Factory in Winona, MO for 23 years.

As a CNA, she provided are for the elderly in the Bartlesville, OK area in the 1980’s and 1990’s. She was also a member of Eastern Star and the Baptist Church.

Sewing and quilting were hobbies she enjoyed and made numerous quilts, tea towels, and pillow cases for her extended family. She

could also be found at yard sales and flea markets looking for that special knick-knack or dish; and many of those special finds are in all of our homes. Thursdays were always saved for her weekly hair appointment.

She was the most proud mother and very involved in the grandchildren’s lives and careers. She was always anxious to see how the greatgrandchildren were doing.

We will all miss the frequent phone calls, get-togethers, short hand-written notes and funnies she would cut out of the paper for us to enjoy.

She was the glue in all of our lives.

Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Monday, August 25, 2014 at Yarber Mortuary, Mountain View, MO with Bro. Stacey Prewett officiating.

Interment was in Pine Lawn Cemetery, Houston, MO. Memorials may be made to the American Diabetes Association.

Condolences may be expressed at www. yarbermortuary.com

From Page One explained.

Wake requests limbs and other brush be cut into lengths no longer than four feet and stacked parallel to the sides of streets, a method that makes it more convenient for crews to gather and load using an hydraulic clamshell bucket.

Also, Wake reminded, the pick-up is for brush only. “It’s not a citywide cleanup,” He said. “It’s not that. It’s just brush.”

As for the proposed construction of a pavilion east of the Mtn. View Community Center, Wake said the only concern he’s heard expressed has to do with the recent rash of vandalism in town. “It would be one more thing for the vandals to vandalize, and one more thing for the police to watch out for,” he reasoned.

“I’ve heard a lot of positives,” Wake continued. It is hoped that the farmers’ market may decide to relocate to the pavilion, with the venue also providing a pleasant place for liveliness such as community

functions, weddings, barbecues and other occasions.

Linda Lewis, director of the Mtn. View Chamber of Commerce, has said she toured several communities in a couple of other states with downtown pavilions. She said pictures have been taken of old railroad depots during those travels, in the hopes of making the area incorporate a railroad theme, since a railway used to run through it.

Coincidentally, a group has formed that is looking to create tourism information areas in each of the small towns through which the Peavine Railroad from Willow Springs to Grandin used to carry cargo, according to Wendell Bailey of Willow Springs.

“We’re not trying to take away the track,” Bailey said. “We’re just going to little towns like Birch Tree and Mtn. View and creating tourism centers. We don’t have a CDBG [Community Development Block Grant], or something like that.”

From Page One added that, "We don't want these kids behind. We have to put their needs before staff.

The kids are the reason we are all here, so, that's our focus."

In the end, the board rejected a motion to hire an additional aide. Mantel made a motion to hire an additional teacher for BTE seconded by Tharp. The board was all in favor of this motion.

Following the approval to hire a teacher, the board eliminated the administrator's cell phones at the request of Superintendent Jerry D. Nicholson. "This will save the district roughly $1,000

Trafficking Aug. 19, 2014, to illegally trafficking in paddlefish, in violation of the Lacey Act. By pleading guilty, Baravik admitted that he traveled from Colorado to Missouri on April 16, 2012. On that day, he and his co-conspirators met with covert agents posing as fishermen who had a boat, which they were going to use to fish for paddlefish. During that conversation, conspirators exchanged telephone numbers with the covert agents and Baravik told the covert agents to call if they caught a paddlefish.

The next day, conspirators arranged to purchase female paddlefish from covert agents.

Baravik participated in the conversations regarding the paddlefish.

On April 18, 2012, Baravik and a co-conspirator went fishing for paddlefish with the covert agents. During the fishing trip, the conspirators exceeded the Missouri daily take limit. The conspirators kept the paddlefish that they took and processed them by removing the eggs from the carcass, and

Ralph Jerald "Joe" Phipps

further processed the eggs to make caviar.

On April 20, 2012, Baravik and the other conspirators transported the paddlefish and paddlefish eggs that they acquired from Missouri to Colorado. Under the terms of the plea agreement, the government and Baravik agree to jointly recommend to the court a sentence of three years of probation and a $5,000 fine.

The first six months of probation will be served as home detention, and Baravik shall not fish, or accompany anyone fishing, anywhere in the world during the term of his probation.

Baravik must also perform 500 hours of community service.

A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.

In a separate case arising from the same investigation, Bogdan Nahapetyan, 35, of Lake Ozark, Mo., pleaded guilty on Nov. 12, 2013, to the same offense.

Nahapetyan had numerous interactions and conversations

a year per phone," explained Nicholson.

"Collectively, we have eight cell phones that administrator's use. We will keep the transportation, maintenance and technology phones for issues that may arise after school hours."

During the meeting, the board approved the resignations of three district bus drivers, the LMS special education aide and the LMS nurse. The next school board meeting for the MV-BT School District will be held September 11, 2014 at 6 p.m. at the Birch Tree Elementary Library.

From Page One with undercover investigators concerning the purchase of female paddlefish and paddlefish eggs. Although the investigators informed Nahapetyan numerous times that the purchase of paddlefish was illegal in the state of Missouri, Nahapetyan arranged to purchase numerous female paddlefish and multiple pounds of paddlefish eggs. For example, on April 24, 2012, Nahapetyan negotiated with the undercover investigators to purchase 80 pounds of paddlefish eggs and five female paddlefish for $4,625. While loading the purchased caviar and female paddlefish into their van, Nahapetyan placed an additional order with the undercover investigators for more fish and caviar.

Under federal statutes, Nahapetyan is subject to a sentence of up to one year in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $100,000.

A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the U.S. Probation Office.

Ralph Jerald Phipps was born December 4, 1934 at Mountain View, MO the son of Simp Carl “Dick” Phipps and Cora Elizabeth (Moore) Phipps. He passed away Sunday, August 17, 2014 at his home in Mountain View, MO at the age of 79 years.

He was united in marriage to Edna Gimpel on May 13, 1954 at Mountain Grove, MO and to this union four children were born.

His passion was driving a truck and he spent many years both as an independent driver and working for other companies including Milton, Trailiner, R&R Trucking, and Ozark Mountain Leasing. He was a member of the First Church of God in Mountain View and the Mountain View V.F.W. Post 3009.

Jerald enjoyed being in the outdoors, fishing, camping,

canoeing, and golfing. He took pride in his garden and his yard and was a talented woodworker. He enjoyed reading western novels and was an avid fan of John Wayne. He enjoyed spending time with his family and loved his children, grandchildren, and his great grandchildren immensely. Jerald was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.

South Dakota State is no North Dakota State, which upset defending Big 12 champion Kansas State last season and routinely beats teams in Missouri’s Football Bowl Subdivision.

South Dakota State can’t match North Dakota State in terms of recent football success, harshness of winter or strength of mascot (Jackrabbits vs. Bison), but SDSU is still a really good FCS team.

The Jackrabbits went 9-5 last year and are ranked No. 10 in the preseason FCS coaches poll. South Dakota State’s outstanding senior running back, Zach Zenner, has posted back-to-back 2,000-yard rushing seasons.

Still, this game is mostly about Missouri and how well the Tigers will play, given their talent advantage.

Of course Tiger fans will be

watching sophomore Maty Mauk as he begins his first full season as the starting quarterback.

Fans can also watch for the first indicators of how Missouri will answer some of its biggest questions this season, such as who will step up to replace the lost production at wide receiver and defensive line. Bud Sasser, one of the team captains, will be a leader for the receivers, but keep an eye on Darius White, a transfer from Texas who was a highly rated recruit in high school. White only had seven catches for 76 yards last season, but he could be poised for a breakout season, which is exactly what Missouri needs from him. A big game against South Dakota State would be an encouraging first step.

Likewise, the Tigers will need Markus Golden and Shane Ray to fill the

Missouri opens season with South Dakota State Congratulations, college football fans, you’ve made it. This weekend the grand old game returns, bringing back fight songs, gamedays and ancient stadiums packed with familiar colors.

Missouri opens the 2014 campaign, the 89th season for the Tigers at Faurot Field, by hosting the South Dakota State Jackrabbits on Saturday (2:30 p.m. on ESPNU). South Dakota State competes in the Football Championship Subdivision, the lower tier of Division I. Under coach Gary Pinkel, Missouri is 10-0 against FCS teams, with an average margin of victory of 518. These games against FCS schools are usually viewed as “cupcake” games, although as with real cupcakes, some FCS

void left by the departures of Michael Sam and Kony Ealy. Golden and Ray should provide a good pass rush, although South Dakota State will likely test the Tigers’ run defense more than passing.

Starting with an FCS team is a nice way to ease into the season, although things get tougher quickly with a tricky trip to Toledo in Week 2 and a challenging home game against Central Florida in Week 3.

However, Missouri first needs to deal with South Dakota State. Although Missouri is from the higher FBS tier and is allowed to award more scholarships than FCS teams, last year seven FCS teams beat FBS teams just during the first weekend of the season. The Tigers would do well to quickly put to rest any idea they’ll join that list and have a strong start to this game, and this season.

Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a sobriety checkpoint will be held in Douglas County sometime in the month of September. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with area law enforcement, will conduct the checkpoint.

Sobriety checkpoints are part of the Patrol’s efforts to remove careless and intoxicated drivers from Missouri’s highways.

This enforcement operation will be conducted at a location which has been found to experience a higher than normal number of alcoholrelated contacts, hazardous driving contacts, and traffic

crashes.

Captain Inman says, “The use of sobriety checkpoints enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways. Please, never drink and drive.”

In support of “The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths,” the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket.

How to Get a Medicare Covered Power Scooter or Wheelchair

Dear Savvy Senior, What’s the process for getting Medicare to pay for an electric mobility scooter or power wheelchair? My 76-yearold mother has arthritis in her knees and hips, and has a difficult time getting around anymore.

Searching Daughter Dear Searching, Getting an electric-powered mobility scooter or wheelchair for your mom that’s covered by original Medicare starts with a visit to her doctor’s office. If eligible, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the cost, after she meets her $147 Part B deductible. She will be responsible for the remaining 20 percent. Here’s a breakdown of how it works.

Make an Appointment Your first step is to call your mom’s doctor and schedule a Medicare required, face-to-face mobility evaluation, to determine her need for a power wheelchair or scooter.

For your mom to be eligible, she’ll need to meet all of the following conditions: • Her health condition makes moving around her home very difficult, even with the help of a cane, walker or manual wheelchair.

• She has significant problems performing activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, getting in or out of a bed or chair, or using the bathroom.

• She is able to safely operate, and get on and off the scooter or wheelchair, or have someone with her who is always available to help her safely use the device.

If eligible, your mom’s doctor will determine what kind

Brayton and Lakan Perkins, West Plains, are the parents of a baby boy, Rush Lee Perkins, born at 7:35 a.m. Aug. 9 at OMC. He weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. His siblings are Kailyn, 5, and Weldon, 2.

Grandparents are Darin and Shelly Adkisson, and Ronnie and Marcie Perkins, all of West Plains.

David and Leona Sorrell, Thayer, are the parents of a baby girl, Grace Lynn Yvone Sorrell, born at 3:40 p.m. Aug. 11 at OMC. She weighed 7 pounds, 1/2 ounce and was 21 1/2 inches long. Her siblings are Tommy, 7, and Matthew, 3.

Grandparents are Leona Halpain, Thayer; Finis Sorrell, Myrtle; and the late Albert Halpain and Angela Sorrell.

Jessica Babcock, Couch, is the mother of a baby girl, Felicity Joe Stout, born at 11:22 p.m. Aug. 11 at OMC. She weighed 7 pounds, 1 1/2 ounces and was 20 inches long. Her siblings are James and Taylor. Grandparents are Paul and Donna Stout, Thayer.

Zachary Vermillion and Britany Pendegraft, Birch Tree, are the parents of a baby boy, Thorn Poacher Paul Vermillion, born at 4:13 a.m. Aug. 13 at OMC. He weighed 5 pounds, 2 1/2 ounces and was 18 inches long. His siblings are Chasidy, Lakelynn, and Leanna.

The Standard News of mobility equipment she’ll need based on her condition, usability in her home, and ability to operate it.

It’s also important to know that Medicare coverage is dependent on your mom needing a scooter or wheelchair in her home. If her claim is based on needing it outside her home, it will be denied as not medically necessary, because the wheelchair or scooter will be considered as a leisure item.

Where to Shop If the doctor determines your mom needs a power scooter or wheelchair, he or she will fill out a written order or certificate of medical necessity (CMN) form for her. Once she gets that, she’ll need to take it to a Medicare approved supplier within 45 days. If your mother happens to live in one of Medicare’s competitive bidding areas, you’ll need to get her device from specific suppliers approved by Medicare. To find approved suppliers and competitive bidding suppliers in your area, visit medicare.gov/supplier or call 800-633-4227.

Once you choose an approved supplier, they will send a representative to assess your mom’s home measuring her doorways, thresholds and overall space to ensure she gets the appropriate mobility device.

Financial Assistance If your mom has a Medicare supplemental policy, it may pick up some, or all of the 20 percent cost of the scooter or wheelchair that’s not covered by Medicare. If, however, she doesn’t have supplemental insurance, and can’t afford the 20 percent, she may be able to get help through Medicare Savings Programs. Call your local Medicaid office for eligibility information.

Or, if you find that your mom is not eligible for a Medicare covered scooter or wheelchair, and she can’t afford to purchase one, renting can be a much cheaper short-term solution. Talk to a supplier about this option.

For more information, call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and request a copy of publication #11046 “Medicare’s Wheelchair and Scooter Benefit,” or you can read it online at medicare.gov/publications/pubs/pdf/11046.pdf.

Medicare Advantage If your mom happens to have a Medicare Advantage plan (like an HMO or PPO), she’ll need to call her plan to find out the specific steps she needs to take to get a wheelchair or scooter. Many Advantage plans may have specific suppliers within the plan’s network they’ll require her to use.

This year's Labor Day opener makes safety consciousness imperative With the 2014 dove hunting season opening on a national holiday, the Missouri Department of Conservation urges hunters to pay special attention to safety.

Dove-hunting season opens on Sept. 1 each year. This year, that date happens to coincide with Labor Day. Conservation areas (CAs) with good dove habitat often draw large crowds on opening day, even in years when dove opener falls on a weekday. A holiday opener guarantees that some fields will be crowded, and the Conservation Department wants to be sure hunters put safety first.

“The more hunters in a field, the less space between them,” says Conservation Department Hunter Education Coordinator Kyle Lairmore. “You can hunt safely in a crowded field, but it requires extra care.”

Lairmore says things to keep in mind when hunting near others include maintaining safe spacing of at least 50 yards between hunters. If you can’t find a spot with this spacing, wait at the entrance to the field until another hunter leaves and take his or her place. He also recommends arriving early enough to talk with other hunters before shooting time. Find out who has hunting dogs, and agree on safe zones of fire.

It’s also important to take other hunters’ presence into account when choosing shots at doves. Don’t take low-angle shots that could send pellets toward other hunters. Wear shooting or safety glasses to protect your eyes from any stray shot, and warn nearby hunters before leaving your location or sending your dog to retrieve downed birds.

Resource Scientist Tom Thompson is the Conservation Department’s dove specialist. He says hunters are likely to find plenty of doves this year, thanks to more moderate weather than during the summers of 2012 and 2013. Missouri has enjoyed more normal rainfall and temperatures than in the past two years. However, Thompson notes that the spring of 2014 was cooler than normal, which can cause doves to nest later. Doves are prolific nesters, often raising several clutches of two eggs each in a summer, so with favorable conditions, they can make up for a late start.

Overall, Thompson says he doesn’t expect significantly more doves than last year statewide. He mentioned some significant regional differences.

“This year, dove numbers seen in our annual roadside counts were up in northern Missouri,” says Thompson.

“In southwest Missouri and Ozarks areas, dove numbers seem to be down. However, doves can bring off three or four clutches after the surveys are done, so early nesting problems don’t necessarily tell the whole story. Things can turn around during July and August.”

Quality hunting depends on more than how many doves are in Missouri on Sept.

1. For example, droughty weather the past two years has prompted farmers to harvest corn and other crops early or simply plow them under. This created vast areas where doves could feed, potentially reducing the number of birds using managed dove fields on CAs. In contrast, crops seem to be doing well this year, so doves can be expected to flock top fields where food is available, making them easier for hunters to find.

The 2014 dove hunting season runs through Nov. 9. The daily limit is 15, and the possession limit is 45.

Mourning doves make up the vast majority of Missouri’s dove harvest, but Eurasian collared doves and whitewinged doves also are found in Missouri and are legal during dove season.

All hunters age 16 through 64 must buy a small-game hunting permit to pursue doves. Dove hunters 16 and older also must have

Ozarks Fruit & Garden Review Grape Harvest

by Marilyn Odneal Horticulture Adviser Grape harvest at the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station is underway.

We have harvested the cultivars Cayuga White, Delaware and Seyval Blanc so far. This is a great time of year, even though it is hot and hectic, because you see the results of all of the work for the year (and maybe some you wish you had done.)

Veraison or color change is the signal that the grape clusters are beginning to ripen. Veraison occurs when the colored grapes start to

change from green to red or blue and the “white” grapes change from an opaque green to a more translucent green or golden color. Once the color has changed and the berries have sized, taste a berry to assess its sweetness and flavor. If you grow grapes for table use, this is really all you need to know in order to decide when to pick. Harvest the grapes for fresh eating when the berries are sweet and taste good.

Grapes will not ripen further after harvest.

Grape harvest guidelines for wine making depend on the composition of the juice as well as the winemakers’

specifications and of course, Mother Nature. White wine grapes are harvested when berry pH reaches between 3.1 and 3.3, and red wine grapes are harvested at a pH between 3.3 and 3.4. The pH in these specific ranges is important so the wine does not spoil and the color and other compounds remain stable. The titratable acidity is also measured and should be 7-9 g/l in table wines. Sugar levels are also measured, and in general, should be the highest level possible as long as the pH and acid levels are in an acceptable range. The integrity of the cluster is important. Desirable clusters have no rot or other damage.

If there is rot in the clusters, the spoiled berries should be removed before the grapes are crushed for wine. Harvest grapes with a grape knife or shears and place in a clean bucket or other receptacle.

Grapes with no rot or broken skins can be stored in the refrigerator before use for up to two months.

Dr. Karl Wilker, research enologist and winemaker at the Missouri State Winery and Distillery, checks on the grapes as they get close to harvest and tastes them to assess the “fruitiness” or varietal character. This observation along with our sugar, pH and titratable acidity levels, as well as conditions such as amount of bird damage, rot and so on, all are considered when making the decision to harvest. And the harvest is on for 2014!

a Missouri Migratory Bird Hunting Permit. Additional details about dove hunting are contained in the 2014 Migratory Bird Hunting Digest, which is available at Conservation Department offices, permit vendors, or at mdc.mo.gov/node/2454.

The Conservation Department bands approximately 2,500 birds annually as part of a nationwide effort to create a dove-management database.

Approximately 11 percent of those doves are recovered and reported, mostly by hunters. Data from band recoveries drive a wide array of analytical processes that directly affect mourning-dove regulations.

By reporting band numbers, hunters are helping manage our dove resource for future generations.

The most important thing dove hunters can do to improve their sport is to check every bird they shoot for a leg band and report any they find at reportband. gov, or by calling 800-327BAND (2263). Hunters may keep the band.

The Conservation Department manages more than 700 fields on 93 CAs managed specifically for doves. This involves planting sunflowers and other crops

to provide high-energy food for doves. Reports from CA managers across the state show that many of these fields will be in good to excellent condition on Sept.

contact information for area managers, visit mdc.mo.gov/ node/8905.

The dark, red meat of mourning doves has a rich flavor similar to that of ducks and geese. For dove recipes, visit mdc.mo.gov/node/4605.

From Page One and so nothing to the city limit is going to be on the grid right, correctly, because if I’m correct in the way that I’m reading it, and with the dimensions they’ve given, it can’t possibly be true because there’s 300 feet there for the park that shouldn’t be there at all.

Also, Reese said, every time a street was made there was no deed for that street, so they had 40 feet there for each street. They’re just pushing properties all over the town as far as I can see, so maybe nobody’s on their right property. But, anyway, there’s no room for the park whatsoever, if I’m reading this correctly.”

Reed asked City Attorney Charles Cantrell, who was at the meeting, whether Reese getting her property surveyed would be the best way to resolve any land dispute.

“That would be the first thing to do to definitively tell where the property lines

are, yes,” Cantrell replied.

Golf course to be open this winter City Administrator Mike Wake was next at the podium to discuss what’s about to happen at the Dane Glass Municipal Golf Course.

“There have been some rumors going around that we’re planning on closing the golf course through the winter, and that’s not the case,” Wake said.

“We’ve been discussing the possibility of closing down the pro shop Monday through Thursday, and then opening back up on Friday through Sunday through the possibly December through February months, but we’re not planning on closing the golf course at all.”

As soon as the golf advisory board gets back together for a meeting, discussion is planned regarding possible issues.

“We haven’t had a meeting with them yet,” Wake

said, to discuss issues, “but certainly not closing the golf course during the wintertime.”

“Just closing the pro shop from December to February,” Reed reiterated.

“Just the pro shop – and not even – just close it Monday through Thursday through those three months through the winter.”

Not a lot of people want to golf in the daytime during the week during winter, Wake explained, adding it gets dark at 5 p.m. that time of year.

“You don’t have much time,” Wake said. “Most people work until four or five o’clock, so you don’t have any time to golf through the week, so most of the golfers that are going out there through the week are the ones who’s already paid for their season membership, and they’re golfing during the day. The ones who are paying to golf through that time of the year, it’s usually

on the weekends, so we think that we can save some money by closing the pro shop through those months, and open it back up for Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

To get the plan finalized, Wake said, he will meet with members of the golf advisory board to get their input.

City property tax levy set… again Just as they had done to begin the meeting, council members set the city’s property tax levy at zero.

Again, Wake has told The Standard Mtn. View’s major funding comes from sales tax in the community.

Nuisance vines Reed introduced resident Barbara Zimmerman, who told the mayor and council members about a problem she’s having in her yard at 111 Second Street.

She said her backyard, to the west, borders under an empty old newspaper building. “And over the

years, there is a vine grown that’s encroaching quite a bit in my yard, but what is even worse, it’s encroaching in the telephone and electric wires.”

She said she does not know who owns the building, and suggested the city contact its owner in order to remove the vine.

Lewis, who was still at the meeting, spoke up. “It’s Jeff,” she told Zimmerman.

“Barb, I’ve done everything I can do to get him to do it, sweetheart.” Lewis then faced council members and the mayor and said, “It’s Jeff Collins.”

“It’s getting worse every year,” Zimmerman said, “It’s getting more and more and more.”

Musille raised his hand and asked, “Put my name on that list, too. Put my name on that list, also, of vines that are growing off of other peoples’ property, encroaching on my building.” Musille reminded he had brought that very issue up last month.

The main reason for her being on the agenda to speak at the meeting, she said, is because the other day she asked city workers not to pave her property.

She said workers showed up and began paving her property, and she protested, telling them that they could not do that. She said she was told by the workers that they could pave feet due to easement. She presented some deeds for and plot of the park.

“Then Mike Wade gave me this map, which the county says is no good now, but at least you can see what’s going on,” Reese said.

Using the map as a visual aid, Reese began making her case. She said she lives in the Hayes Subdivision, which consists of 1,093 feet south from the top of its southwest quarter.
