Liberty still looking to finish as Ava outlasts by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It’s going to happen. The Liberty Eagles will be in the win column, but last Friday a victory continued to remain out of reach as the Eagles faced off against the 3-0 Ava Bears, and bad breaks combined with a relentless Bears running attack eventually wore Liberty down 35–14 at the nest in Mountain View. The game put the Ava bears firmly in the driver’s seat for the South Central Association title after they defeated Mountain Grove last week 22–18 in a hard-fought game. This time they outlasted a tough Liberty team that is frustratingly close to being able to win these games, but has so far not finished the task. Starting the season with four of the toughest teams on the schedule has not made it easy, and despite the loss, the game was close on the stat sheet. The Eagles gained 350 total yards while the Bears managed only four more at

354 total yards. Jaris Acklin and Koel Orchard combined to throw for 245 yards and nearly had more. Orchard did most of the work, completing 16 of 27 for 190 yards while Acklin bounced back from a concussion scare last week and completed five of seven for 55 more. Where the Eagles struggled offensively was in the running game. Of course, this was the same Bears defense that last week did not allow a run of more than 16 yards to the Mountain Grove Panthers. This time Ava held the Eagles to just 105 rushing yards and an average of just over 3 yards per carry. Orchard picked up 68 of those yards on 21 carries while Ethan Smith grinded up 37 more on
12 carries. Orchard scored the Eagles only rushing touchdown. The Bears had more success on the ground, however, especially late. Ava finished the night with 292 rushing yards averaging over 6 yards a carry with four scores. The real problem for the Eagles, however, were the breaks. Liberty didn’t get any, starting with the first series of the game when the Bears blocked an Eagles punt and a senior defensive lineman J. Balassone picked up the ball and returned it for a touchdown. The Bears led 6-0 and their offense hadn’t taken the field yet. The Eagles responded as their offense went to work late in the first quarter. Lib-

erty drove 48-yards in nine plays, scoring when Orchard passed to Holden for a 3-yard score. Holden’s extra point gave the Eagles a onepoint 7-6 lead. The night was a productive one for Holden who finished with seven catches and 70 yards. A total of six players caught passes for the Eagles, including Conner Jackson who pulled down 6 catches, and Colton Foster who pulled down a 41-yard catch. Early in the second quarter, it appeared the Eagles could add to their lead after marching to Ava 19 yard line, using 8-plays to go 54 yards. But a holding penalty that moved the ball backwards a whopping 21-yards, put the Eagles in a firstand-31. A loss on an out-let pass, followed by a sack for minus-nine yards, forced the Eagles to punt on fourth and 36. Ava took over at their 20-yard line and on second down, Quincy McDonald broke free for a 78-yard touchdown run. The twopoint conversion gave the Bears a 14-7 lead. Liberty’s offense responded with a nice drive that reached the Ava 27-yard line with just over five minutes left in the half, but two attempts to pick up one yard for a first down failed, and Ava had the ball again. A holding call against Ava put the Bears in a hole as well, but on second and 20, a pass to Joey Swofford picked up a first down at the Bears 44-yard line. Two plays later, Copeland broke free for a 39-yard run to the Eagles 15-yard line, and the Bears punched it in for a touchdown with 50-seconds left in the half. Despite moving the ball, the Eagles found

themselves down 21-7 at halftime. In the second half, Liberty appeared poised to come back from the two-touchdown deficit just as they had done the previous week to Thayer. Devin Wallander made a nice tackle on fourth and two, stopping the Bears and giving the Eagles the ball. The Eagles took advantage as Orchard ran for a first-down and Smith bounced a run outside two plays later, rumbling for 17-yards to the Ava 41. Passes to Holden and Coltin Weldon moved the ball to the Ava 26yard line, and fantastic play by Conner Jackson to rip a would-be interception out of the arms of an Ava defender resulted in a 21-yard pass play and a first and goal at the five. Orchard punched it in on the next play and Liberty had cut the lead to 21-14 with plenty of game left. The Ava Bears defense tightened, however, and kept the Eagles at bay just long enough for the Bears offense to get rolling again. Both teams traded punts, but as
the fourth quarter arrived the Bears offense went on two long time-consuming marches. Ava marched 86 yards in nine running plays on the first drive, and put together a 13play, 66-yard drive for a 35-14 advantage. For Liberty, time was just too short and the Ava Bears defense was too much. Liberty took over with under three minutes to go and despite using 14 plays, never seriously threatened to score again. The final stood at 35-14, as the Eagles dropped to an 0-4 start on the season, but look to bounce back this Friday at homecoming against the 1-3 Willow Springs Bears. For the Eagles, close just isn’t good enough.

In every corner of the state a person can see and experience the hard work of the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). In the 33rd District and in Howell County that is especially true. The department works closely with local governments and the people to manage the forests, fish and wildlife resources and also to identify the needs of both the citizens and natural resources our state has to offer. In Howell County, MDC owns 8,425 acres of land, including the Dean Davis Wildlife Area, on which they pay $6,058.36 in taxes. This money goes back into the local communities. There are also 33 local MDC employees who work in Howell County ensuring the care and maintenance of our local conservation facilities and land. In Texas County alone, MDC owns 15,027 acres of land, including the Barn Hollow Conservation Area, on which they pay $9,711.85 in taxes. This money goes back into the local communities. There are also 22 local MDC employees who work in Texas County ensuring the care and maintenance of our local conservation facilities and land. In 1983, the state established the County Aid Road Trust (CART) payment. This program allowed for cost sharing, with the county’s typical match being 50 percent with in-kind services, typically in the form of roadway maintenance. The intent of the program is to help ensure roads in the area are properly maintained and that the public has adequate access to conservation areas. The county was owed just over $12,704 in CART payments. However, this year the Legislature failed to pass House Bill 19, which means MDC must reduce spending, and cannot proceed with the program at this time. Representatives at MDC have stated they are looking for funding to continue with the very important project. I will also continue to track the funding for the program and will update you as I learn more. Many citizens may not be aware of how closely MDC works with a local volunteer fire departments. Help is usually in the form of grants that cover training and equipment for rural fire departments much like ours. The grants are to provide personal protective equipment, wildfire suppression equipment and communications equipment. There are 13 fire departments in Howell County and 10 in Texas County that participate in the mutual aid agreement with MDC. This year the Brandsville Fire Department, Caulfield Fire Department, Howell County Rural #1, the Willow Springs Rural Fire Department and the Summersville Fire Department have received matching grants from MDC. In addition, the Federal Excess Personal Property program and the Fire Fighter Property program work with MDC to loan or give equipment to the departments. In Howell County there are 31 trucks, several trailers, a prefabricated building, portable flood lights, nine storage tanks and more being used by various departments through these programs. In Texas County there are 45 trucks, several trailers, generators, storage tanks, portable flood lights and more being used by various departments through these programs. For years the MDC has worked hard to protect our state’s resources and work hand-in-hand in communities. Please take a moment to join me in thanking MDC for all they do for Howell County and Texas County For more information about MDC please visit www.mdc. mo.gov/. 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.

Fighting for Our Rural Way of Life
Over the past month, farmers across southeast and south central Missouri have let me into their day to day lives, opening up their homes – and their barns – sharing the issues they struggle with and talking about what I can do to help. During last year’s focus on farms, the biggest concern I heard about was government overreach and regulations. Fortunately, President Trump and I have begun the work to remove many of those burdensome regulations. We’ve made a difference, but there’s always more to be done. This year, the new concerns I heard were about our complicated tax code, skyrocketing healthcare costs for families and how hard it is to find labor when competing against robust government welfare programs. Agriculture is one of the top drivers for Missouri’s economy, and like every other business, young family or budding entrepreneur, our farmers need relief from this country’s complicated and burdensome tax code. Not only are many of these folks farmers, but they run agribusinesses as well. Whether their farm hosts a fall festival or runs a farmer’s market, they are overwhelmed each year by the work they have to do just to figure out how much money they owe the federal government. It’s not right. The government should be taking the least amount of money from people as possible. In Ozark and Pemiscot County, farmers and small agribusiness owners shared with me that when looking for talented labor, they simply cannot compete with robust, liberal federal welfare programs. Multiple times, I heard folks sitting on the employment sidelines tell me that they can make just as much money or, in some cases, more money on government programs than they can by doing an honest day’s work. There is a tremendous amount of pride in knowing you worked hard for what you earned. That’s how I grew up. I think it’s important to pass that work ethic along and not let folks just get something for nothing. That’s why I support work requirements for welfare recipients so we can reduce poverty and government dependency while increasing self-sufficiency. I heard from folks in Crawford and Shannon County who are concerned about healthcare. Farmers in southeast and south central Missouri are plenty busy with taking care of their land, raising their families and running their agribusinesses, and they shouldn’t have to spend their valuable time worrying about how much health insurance is going to cost. That is why I’m fighting for Missourians to see the cost of their care up front, control the price of procedures and drive healthcare expenses down. I also helped author and pass a bill that will allow farmers and small businesses to ban together with other farmers in southeast and south central Missouri to buy health insurance and lower their costs. Getting out of Washington and back to Missouri for longer than just a weekend was a welcome change from the multiple flights back and forth and having to sleep in my office. It was so good to be home! We drove more than 2,500 miles – about the same distance as driving from my home town of Salem to New York City and back – stopping in every county across southeast and south central Missouri to meet with our hardworking farmers. The best part about the time I got to spend with folks was hearing what I need to do to make a difference in your life. The couch in my office isn’t nearly as comfortable as my bed at home, but I’m proud to be back here, fighting for what Missourians need and fighting to keep our rural way of life out of the government’s hands.
when the driver of the vehicle in which he was a passenger attempted to pass on a blind curve and encountered a vehicle coming from the opposite direction. The driver then swerved back into the correct lane, overcorrected, ran off the right side of the roadway, and overturned. Dr. Ryan Biggers, Cox South Medical Center, pronounced Hensen dead at the hospital. The crash occurred on Missouri Highway N west of Mountain Grove, MO, in Wright County. Henson was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash; he was ejected from the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and was ejected; he sustained serious injuries in the crash.

Lady Eagles won 25-21. The Lady Eagles ended their season 39-3-1 and state champions. Brook Conway had an impressive 9 kills for the game with Jessica Stretch following with 7 kills. “The 2014 season was a highlight of my career obviously, but not just on the court,” reflected Head Coach Shari Tune. “That group of girls, I had a special bond with. Most of them had played varsity their entire career so I had them for a while “as my own.” We made history in a lot of ways, most wins in a season, first team state championship, along with many Liberty Volleyball records broken, they also broke some of my coaching records as well. “We had to overcome a lot of obstacles that year, we had 3 major injuries; Cheyenne had a quad tear, Brook had a very bad elbow sprain and Courtney had a fractured foot. Brenley had just gotten back from an ACL tear. Along with those injuries, other girls had several personal issues going on too. It was just a year full of obstacles that brought us all closer. We dealt with them all as a family and overcame them to make history. It is a year obviously I will never forget, but for so many reasons more than a State Championship. “They are a great group of girls. We were loaded with talent, but they also loved to pray and give it all to the Man above. They were fighters on and off the court and in the classroom. “There are many reasons I coach, obviously any coach loves to win. Even though we did win that year, I won in a lot more ways than a state ring. Coaching girls that persevere, teach you so much in life; just as you teach them on the court. I still am lucky enough to keep in touch with most of them, and I am blessed to have had each and everyone of them.”

Missouri Tigers lose disheartening SEC opener to South Carolina by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Missouri’s game with South Carolina on Saturday started out like a dream. It was pretty much perfect weather in Columbia, an evening kickoff provided a great setting, and Missouri’s defense was playing much better than it did in the season-opener. When Drew Lock hit tight end Jason Reese for a long touchdown pass early in the second quarter, the Tigers led 10-0. But then the parade of indignities began. Missouri had the misfortune of booting the ensuing kickoff to South Carolina receiver Deebo Samuel, an electrifying playmaker, who promptly ran it back for a touchdown. Game on. On the very next play, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock threw an ugly interception to set up South Carolina. On the play after that, Samuel scampered in for another touchdown, this one a 25yard run, and the Gamecocks (2-0, 1-0 in SEC play) would not give up the lead, notching a commanding 31-13 win at Faurot Field. It was an ominous loss for Missouri (1-1, 0-1 in SEC). The Tigers gained more yards than South Carolina, but Missouri committed three turnovers against none by the Gamecocks. The Tigers also had a horrendous day on special teams, allowing that kickoff return, hurting their field position by failing to field punts, having a field goal attempt blocked, and then muffing a punt and allowing South Carolina to recover, all but sealing Missouri’s fate. The Tigers simply aren’t good enough to overcome
that many mistakes, and coach Barry Odom said as much after the game. After a week of hand-wringing about the defense, that side of the ball played reasonably well. Of the 31 points allowed, one touchdown was a kickoff return and two other touchdowns came on short drives after turnovers. On the flip side, after racking up huge numbers against an overmatched opponent yet again, Missouri continued it’s trend of failing to produce against a defense with some teeth. South Car-
olina brilliantly slowed the tempo, limiting Missouri’s sometimes-potent offense to just 12 drives and 69 plays. Throw in the night-long debacle of special teams, and it was a disheartening night. Missouri relieved defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross of his duties on Sunday. This appears to be a program searching for something that can work for them. The Tigers have a chance to get something positive going Saturday when they host Purdue (3 p.m. on SEC Network). The Boilermakers (11) have been scuffling near

the bottom of the Big Ten Conference in recent years, but they appear to have made a good coaching hire in Jeff Brohm. Purdue was a feisty, tough out in a season-opening loss to a good Louisville team, and then notched a win against a respectable, wellcoached Ohio squad. This is still a game Missouri should win, but Purdue, despite its talent limitations, doesn’t appear to be the pushover they seemed to be before the season began. Beyond that, it’s a game Missouri desperately needs to win, with Auburn and road trips to Kentucky and Georgia waiting on the other side.
Ozarks Studies Symposium Sept. 21-23 “Marginal Voices of the Ozarks” is the theme of the 11th annual Ozarks Studies Symposium set for Sept. 21-23 at the West Plains Civic Center. Hosted by Missouri State University-West Plains, the event celebrates various aspects of Ozarks culture through a variety of presentations and performances. Funding is provided by Missouri State-West Plains’ Annual Fund, the West Plains Council on the Arts and Carol Silvey, West Plains, a long-time history professor and director of development at Missouri State-West Plains and
current member of the Missouri State University Board of Governors. “Ozark history and culture have often been marginalized in the larger American story, and within the Ozarks different groups, peoples and movements themselves have been marginalized, overlooked and forgotten. This year’s symposium aims to pull back the curtain,” said Dr. Jason McCollom, assistant professor of history at Missouri State-West Plains and coordinator of the symposium. The symposium will begin at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, with
a free opening reception at the Gallery at the Center on the civic center’s mezzanine sponsored by the West Plains Council on the Arts, with partial funding from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency. Those attending can view the exhibit “Ventures in Art – Mixed Media” featuring works by area artists, several of whom will be on hand to discuss their pieces. Refreshments will be served.

Comprehensive deer study enters third harvest season MDC and MU researchers remind hunters not to let a collar affect their decision to harvest a deer
The number of deer harvested during the archery and firearms hunting seasons are a major component of a five-year study to benefit Missouri’s deer herd and hunters. Biologists from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) are using computer and satellite technology to track collared deer in specific northwest Missouri and Ozark counties. Hunters are asked to harvest collared deer if it is an animal they would normally take during the legal hunting seasons. White-tailed deer wearing GPS collars are giving biologists data on how deer use habitats, their home ranges, movements, and survival rates. Biologists are tracking 108 deer in four northwest Missouri counties dominated by agriculture and 101 deer in four counties in the Ozarks where forest habitat prevails. Hunter harvest and natural
mortality are both factors in how the state’s deer populations fare in varied habitats. So hunters should not let a collar on a deer influence their decision on whether or not to harvest the animal. “We want the study’s sample group, the deer wearing the GPS collars, to reflect what is going on with the state’s entire deer herd,” said Kevyn Wiskirchen, MDC deer biologist. Biologists trap the deer during the winter months, collect data from them such as size, sex and age, place tracking collars on them, and then release them. GPS collars then send regular data about the deer’s location and movements to the satellite, which relays that information to computers. The study is nearing almost one million data points on file. “Over a span of five years, it’s setting us up to have a large set of data to answer a lot of questions,” Wiskirchen
said. The information will be used in years ahead to help make management decisions about the state’s deer herd. For example, regulations may be adjusted according to a region’s rise or fall of deer numbers due to disease or harvest pressure. Deer were trapped and collared last winter in Douglas, Howell, Texas and Wright counties in the Ozarks; and Nodaway, Gentry, Andrew, and DeKalb counties in northwest Missouri. Crews also use technology to track pregnant does, find fawns after they are born, and put tracking collars on fawns. MDC and research partners have long studied deer. But this five-year study is one of the most comprehensive deer research projects ever conducted in the state. The study is funded with assistance from the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Funds. The GPS collars provide
ONSR announces proposed fee increases Ozark National Scenic Riverways announces a proposed increase in cave tour fees for the Round Spring Cave and camping fees for the rustic backcountry campgrounds within the park. Additionally, the Jerktail rustic backcountry camping area is proposed to be added as a fee area. The proposed rate increases are necessary in order for park camping fees to remain comparable with local privately owned businesses. The current camping fees have not been raised in the backcountry sites since 2008. In addition, cave tour fees have not been increased since 2003 and are significantly lower than other area caves. The new rates would take effect April 15, 2018. According to Superintendent Larry Johnson, “Under the current rate structure the camping fees and cave tour fees at Ozark Riverways are lower than some privately operated campgrounds and show caves, and we do not want to undercut these local business owners. This rate
increase will help us avoid that, and will also help provide additional funding that will be used for on-going improvements. The installation of the new concrete shower house at Alley Spring campground in July 2017 is just one example of the types of projects that can be accomplished with recreation fee revenue.” Proposed camping fees are as follows: • Basic Family Backcountry Campsites (limit 6 people) will go from $5.00 to $10.00 a night. • Cluster Backcountry Campsite at Big Tree (720 people) will go from $15.00 to $20.00 a night. • Round Spring Cave Tours (Adults) will go from $5 to $10 • Round Spring Cave Tours (Child 12 and under) will go from $2 to $5 The existing rustic backcountry campgrounds are located at Big Tree, Grubb, Gooseneck, Bay Creek, Blue Spring, Ry-
mers, Shawnee Creek, Two Rivers Primitive, Logyard, Sinking Creek, Cedar Grove, and Dee Murray. This rate increase does not apply to front country campgrounds at Alley Spring, Round Spring, Pulltite, Two Rivers and Big Spring, which will remain the same. Ozark National Scenic Riverways is able to keep the fees collected from our campgrounds and cave tours to use for improvements to visitor facilities and services such as upgrading restroom and shower facilities, maintaining trails, improving campgrounds, and educational programs for students. If you would like to comment on the proposed rate increase, please respond by November 20, 2017 to Lisa Figge at lisa_figge@nps. gov or (573)323-8144. For more information, visit the park’s Facebook page, the park’s website at www.nps.gov/ozar or phone 573-323-4236.

regular updates on deer locations, so it is not necessary for hunters or the general public to report spotting deer with collars. But if anyone should spot a deer with a collar where something seems out of the ordinary with the collar, they are welcome to report the sighting. MDC will begin trapping deer again in the winters of 2018 and 2019 once hunting seasons are complete. Any landowners interested in hosting deer trapping and tracking are welcome to contact MDC. Private landowners are a key partner in the study, as 93 percent of the state’s acreage is privately owned. White-tailed deer are among Missouri’s most popular watchable wildlife, and deer hunting provides food, outdoor recreation and a $1 billion boost to the state’s economy. Landowner cooperation has been a positive and important component of the study, said Jon McRoberts, MU research scientist and project coordinator. Biol-
