MVPD cracks down on child restraint violation Missouri law requires all children under the age of eight to be in an appropriate child safety seat or booster seat unless they are 80lbs or 4’9” tall. Mountain View Police Department announced today they are joining with law enforcement September 1824 for an aggressive Child Passenger Safety Week Law Enforcement Campaign to crack down on Missouri’s child safety seat law violators and to reduce highway fatalities and injuries to children. Car crashes are the number one killer of kids. Nearly 73% of all child restraints are not used correctly. Is your child safe? Chief Perkins said regular child safety seat and safety belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.

iTunes gift card scams West Plains on the rise Howell A gift card is like cash — a quick, convenient and untraceable way for con artists to get peoples’ money. And even if the victim realizes they’ve been scammed, there’s typically no way to reverse the transaction. The Attorney General’s Office is finding that the iTunes gift card is the payment method of choice for many scammers. In recent months, the Attorney General’s Office has received many complaints about scams utilizing the gift cards. The U.S. Treasury Department has issued a scam alert saying that callers impersonating IRS employees or pretending to be with the Treasury Department are demanding payments on iTunes gift cards. “Any call requesting taxpayers place funds on an iTunes gift cards or other prepaid cards to pay taxes or fees is an indicator or fraudulent activity!” the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration cautioned. Apple is aware of the problem and has posted this warning notice on the gift card section of its website: “iTunes Gift Cards are solely for the purchase of goods and services on the iTunes Store and App Store. Should you receive a request for payment using iTunes Gift Cards outside of iTunes and the App Store please report it at ftc.gov/complaint.” See Scam on Page 4

Liberty toughs out a win at Ava to improve to 4-0 by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
When a team has only won five times in the past 46 years, you know it’s not going to be easy. That was the case Friday as the Liberty Eagles traveled to Ava where wins have been scarce. Liberty hit some big plays early, jumping out to a 28-0 first-half lead, and then held off an Ava Bear rally in the second half, escaping town with a 28-20 victory after yet another Koel Orchard interception. The win improved the Eagles record to 4-0 on the season, but came with another injury to a starting lineman, meaning the Eagles are currently without three players in the trenches. Caleb Oziah was forced to leave the game in the second quarter with an injury to the shoulder. Reports this week
indicated a separated shoulder, but the severity of it had yet to be determined. Adam Shaw is expected to miss the rest of the season, although both Shaw and Max Rudolph are reported to be recovering well. Rudolph is expected to return this season, but no date has been set. The stats for Liberty during the game weren’t huge, but they came at the right times. In the first half the Eagles converted four different fourthdown attempts, including a 27yard pass to Brenton Bush for a touchdown on fourth and nine. It added up to a 28-0 first-half lead, but Liberty Head Coach Darin Acklin was not satisfied overall. “We didn’t play that well in the first half,” explained Coach Acklin, “We were fortunate to be up 28-0. Hit three long passes for touchdowns with only one good drive.” The Eagles totaled who only

258 total yards for the game, got 55 of those on the opening drive. Starting from their own 45-yard line, the Eagles used 16 plays as they marched for a touchdown. Liberty ran three consecutive times to start, picking up a first down inside Ava territory. Facing a fourth and seven from the Bears 42-yard line, Pruett rolled out and ran for the first-down. An eightyard pass to Brenton Bush and two runs by Marcos Rodriguez had the Eagles knocking at the door at the Bears 21. Liberty picked up nine yards on an option to Rodriguez, only to get backed up the next play by a holding penalty. After a pass to Orchard, and a run by Pruett moved the ball to the Ava 14-yard line, Liberty faced a fourth and four. Pruett tossed a screen to Bush for 11-yards to pick up the first and Rodriguez punched it in on the next play. Liberty took an 8-0 lead. It was a big night for Bush who hauled in 10 catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns. His first score came on the next drive for Liberty. After stopping the Bears in three plays and forcing a punt, the Eagles took over near midfield. Pruett passed to Bush for 27-yards on second-down, moving the ball to the Ava 29yard line. Two plays later, Pruett was sacked for an 11-yard loss, but on fourth down, with nine yards still to go, Pruett hit Bush for 27-yards again and the touchdown. The Eagles led 14-0 after a missed extra-point. Defensively, the Eagles continued to play well in the first half, giving up just one first
down on the Bears next drive before forcing another punt. The Bears managed a meager 24 total yards in the first half. Meanwhile, Liberty took over at the 50-yard line, and used 8-plays to cover the distance for another touchdown. A tackle-breaking, stutter-stepping, 25-yard run by Orchard on second down put the Eagles at the Bears 27-yard line. It looked like the drive would stall as a penalty and a sack made it third and 25, but another big play, this time a pass from Pruett to Orchard, gave the Eagles a 21-0 lead. Liberty had one more scoring opportunity before the half after the Ava Bears went for it on fourth and three from their own 41-yard line. Liberty’s defense sacked the Bears quarterback for a loss on the play, and the Eagles were back in business at the Bears 39-yard line. The Bears made them work for it, however. Pruett converted a fourth and two with a four-yard run to the Bears 28-yard line. A pass to Andrew Holden gave the Eagles another first at the Bears 13-yard line. Three plays later, on third and 10, Bush hauled in his second touchdown of the night for a 28-0 Liberty lead. And that’s where the fireworks for the Liberty Eagles ended. “I’m sure Ava coaches told their players that (the second half) was to get back in the conference title race, for district seeding, etc., and pumped them up to get back in the game,” said Coach Acklin on Monday, “We couldn’t get any drives going offensively and couldn’t hit another long ball to get the game out of reach. Liberty’s defense stayed on the field most of the second half and we committed turnovers on offense. The result: a good comeback from Ava.” It was nail-biting time. Lib-

erty picked up just three firstdowns in the second half while Ava’s offense started to show signs of life. The Bears tossed a floating pass that went for 12-yards and a first-down to the Eagles 46. Bears quarterback Caleb Johnson converted a fourth-down with five-yard run to get the ball inside the Liberty red-zone at the 19-yard line. The Eagles broke up two passes, however to stop the Bears on downs. It would be the last time the Eagles could stop the Bears for a while, as Ava scored touchdowns on their next three possessions. After forcing the Eagles to go three-and-out, the Bears marched 55-yards in eight plays, ending with a five-yard touchdown run by Johnson. The Bears defense got into the action, pulling down an interception near mid-field, returning it to the Eagles 20-yard line. The Bears needed just one play to cash in from there, breaking through the defense for a 20-yard touchdown run. Liberty’s offense started the next possession by being sacked for an eight-yard loss. A 10-yard pass to Orchard made it fourth and three, and the Ea-
gles faked a punt to pick up a first down. Fifteen more yards were added to the play thanks to a facemask penalty, but the Bears defense tightened and stopped Liberty on downs at the Ava 36-yard line. The Bears took over, and facing fourth and five, Johnson passed for 27-yards into Liberty territory. Two plays later, Ava was inside the Eagles redzone, and on another fourth down, the Bears ran it right up the middle for a 13-yard score. Liberty led 28-20 with 3:39 left in the game. It was as close as the Bears would get, however. With one more chance, a pass from Johnson was picked off by Orchard. A penalty against Liberty for defensive holding gave the Bears another shot, but Orchard promptly intercepted the next pass, too. The Ava Bears rally was over, and Liberty had their fifth victory at Ava in the past 46 years.

Gun raffle to benefit Mtn. View Family Youth Center
Gun Raffle - The Mtn. View Family Youth Center will be holding a gun raffle to raise funds for the center. Murray Anderson of Anderson Services donated the Thompson/Center Compass rifle. The rifle is valued at $399. Anderson stated that the winner of the rifle can choose which caliber they would like. He currently has 7mm mag and .308 in stock with .22-.250, .243, .270 and .30-.06 on order. Tickets can be purchased at the MVFYC for $5 per ticket.

times, the crook will stay on the phone with the victim as they go to the store and buy the card. Once a pin number is given, the scammer quickly uses the money on the card or sells the pin number to other crooks. And the consumer is left with a worthless piece of plastic. The digits on the back of the cards should be thought of as cash. Giving that code
to someone is like giving them cash. If someone asks for payment via a gift card, it is almost certainly a scam. The bottom line: If you’re not shopping at the iTunes store, you should not be paying with an iTunes gift card. If you have questions about this scam, or to report a scam, contact the Missouri Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 800-392-8222.
Remembering a National Tragedy I know I will never forget — along with the millions of citizens around the world — where I was and what I was doing the moment I heard about the devastating events unfolding before our nation’s eyes on Sept. 11, 2001. Since that horrific day, groups and individuals around the world have vowed to honor those who were taken from us too soon. In the days, weeks and even years following that devastating day, this country has pulled together like never before. Donations of food, blood and money came in from every state. Many people still work to donate to, and help the families of those who lost their lives that day. On that day we also began to realize the true sacrifices made by law enforcement, firefighters and emergency response teams. That fateful day as the towers were struck, and then collapsed, as buildings were on fire many ran in the opposite directions seeking safety. However, that day whether it was in New York City, a field in Shanksville, Penn., or Washington, D.C., the true heroes ran toward the danger. Still today, 15 years later, members of law enforcement and other emergency responders stand in the face of danger doing their jobs to protect us. I ask each of you to say a prayer for those who are left behind to mourn the victims of the terror attacks that day. Pray for peace and healing, as each day they remember those horrible events that many still struggle to overcome. 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.
This Shouldn’t be Political
We have all heard the famous quote “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This week as the U.S. Congress once again gaveled back into session, the same results held true as we were immediately met with new details of just how partisan and politically minded this Administration is. I should have known not to expect anything other than partisan rancor from this Administration but a recent memo leak showing details of the Obama Administration putting liberal politics before the interests of the American people is truly appalling. A report of a memo sent by the Obama Administration to officials at the Pentagon was uncovered on Tuesday detailing a plan to veto the national defense bill that includes a pay raise for our troops. This revelation further proves that the Obama Administration could care less about the means he uses no matter how unethical they might be to push his liberal agenda. The internal Department of Defense memo instructs top military leaders to “play hardball” against Republican plans to increase the military budget, unless the Obama White House gets the spending increases they want for unrelated social programs. They suggest that the House and Senate fight against each other instead of finding middle ground to enact a national defense bill for our nation’s heroes, of which we have a huge number throughout southeast and south central Missouri. It is shameful that the Obama Administration spends more time playing political games rather than serving the American public. This news was especially hard to stomach because while we are trying to find solutions, we keep being met with executive orders and rogue federal agencies specifically trying to impede our attempts. The extent to which this administration has gone out of its way to impede congressional oversight and accountability and implement radical agendas is absolute insanity. After spending several weeks traveling all 30 counties, talking to farmers about their crops, small business owners about their bottom line, community leaders about their changing needs, and simply just catching up with old friends, facing this type of out-of-control government insanity is difficult because these folks deserve better than what we’re getting from the White House. The tactics described in the memo that was uncovered this week comes as no surprise because under the Obama Administration, dysfunction and partisanship have continually grown worse. It is no surprise that the American public have lost confidence in this Administration’s ability to do their jobs in the best interest of the American public. Time and time again, the Obama Administration condemns Congress for not reaching across the aisle to get things done, but behind closed doors he continues to encourage a battle between political parties. It is quite clear that the legacy that the Obama Administration will leave behind in January will be that of a politically divided country and bureaucratic insanity. I believe Congress can come together and continue the more than five decades of bipartisan cooperation it has experienced in the past and pass a national defense bill that gives our troops a pay raise and provides them with the resources they need to defend and provide for the security of our country. The brave men and women who serve our country and keep us safe deserve better and so does the rest of the country, especially from someone who carries the title Commander in Chief.
Illusionist will perform ‘an evening of wonders’ Sept. 29 Prepare to be amazed when world-class illusionist Vitaly Beckman takes the West Plains Civic Center theater stage at 7 p.m. Sept. 29 to perform his original brand of magic in “VITALY: An Evening of Wonders.” The performance is being sponsored by the University/Community Programs (U/CP Department at Missouri State University-West Plains. Tickets are $8 each and available at the civic center box office at 110 St. Louis St., or by calling 417-256-8087. University students with a BearPass ID will be admitted free. Known for illusions that erase a person’s face from his or her own driver’s license or causing a paintbrush to paint on its own, Vitaly’s creativity and talents have taken him around the world. Now settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, he’s known as “one of Canada’s most acclaimed and entertaining magicians,” according to the Chilliwack Progress. Vitaly gained his reputation as a mind-blowing performer by breaking down barriers to let his audiences’ imaginations explore the realm of the impossible, according to his website, www.eveningofwonders. com. Each and every one of
his illusions was created and designed by him to develop a show that is like no other. He “is literally the master of his own magical domain,” editors with The Province have said. According to his website, Vitaly’s fascination with the artistic potential of magic was stirred at age 14 by a Da-
vid Copperfield special. After wowing friends and family with his beyond imaginative and seemingly impossible illusions, Vitaly came to realize that he could conjure up a stage show unlike any other being performed. Departing from his family home and leaving behind a career in engineering, he honed his

artistic approach to illusion. He has been amazing audiences in British Columbia since arriving there in 2008 and has been featured on the CBC and in the Vancouver Sun and The Province. “I met Vitaly at a performing arts conference last year, and he stopped me and asked if he could show me something,” said Jennifer Moore, coordinator of U/CP theater and events programming. “It’s one thing for an illusionist or magician to ‘wow’ an audience from the stage. It’s much harder to stun an audience of one standing right in front of you. And he completely did. I’m still shaking my head.” For more information about Vitaly and his illusions, visit www.eveningofwonders.com. For more information about his Sept. 29 performance in West Plains, call 417-255-7966.
Letter to the Editor Goin' Home, Goin' Home By the riverside, I will rest my bones, Listen to the river sing sweet song To rock my soul ... Grateful Dead, Broke Down Palace It is the same moon that lit the forest paths of Camp Zoe when the words and music of Jerry Garcia echoed from canyon walls, in the night air while crowds cheered. It is the same creek, meandering down the canyon where millennial hippies once graced its beaches, but it is not Camp Zoe and will never be ... again. The new park, Echo Bluff opened this week in the pines of Southern Missouri, but there is no bluff in sight.
The rustic music venue has been replaced with the shallow vagaries of a modern resort. On the hill, above the creek, the old Schwag Lodge sits like a forlorn anachronism, among condominiums perched above like condors ready to take flight. Two-story cabins and a lodge onehalf the size of a city block complete the picture. Nature has disappeared; in its place, cement sidewalks. The agency tasked to preserve our natural environment has replicated the city in our forest. For these "environmentalist" ... profit is the bottom line. As the leader of a Missouri Stream Team, I feel sadness. The forest that our extended community has protected since the mid 1800's is at
risk in the hands of our state government and this agency seeks more of our river properties for exploitation. In taking Camp Zoe in drug property forfeiture, the federal and state governments maligned Jimmy Tebeau as having provided a venue for drug dealers. This week, Chicago hosted Lollapalooza, the same type of festival. Will the feds take Grant's Park? From the US Government to the Missouri State Patrol to the parks department, each had its fingers in Tebeau's Camp Zoe pie. Fare thee well ... to the hippies in rainbow rags and the colored awnings of Shakedown Street ... but the shakedown continues. Looking at the condo formation on the hillside, one might ask: Who were the best stewards of the forest? The agencies of the State of Missouri, or those who danced to Grateful Dead tunes under the summer moon? I visited the new park, today and came away brokenhearted. Gwen Reese Mtn. View

Mtn. View Christian Church to sponsor Car Care Clinic Sept. 17 The Mtn. View Christian Church is planning an outreach ministry for single mothers and their children in the community. The outreach is called Car Care Clinic. The purpose of the event is to provide a free car service to qualified single moms. The group will vacuum the interior, wash the car, change the oil and filters, air filter if needed, fill any other needed fluids, check the tires, lights and inspect the car for any other mechanical issues free of charge. “We know how important good, dependable transportation is for a single mom. Most single moms are on a limited income and sometimes struggle to properly maintain a vehicle. It is our intention to be a blessing to single moms and provide encouragement both physical and spiritual,” stated Mark Willbanks Car Care Clinic Director. While the car is being serviced, the church will provide for the mom and her
children a free store stocked with women’s clothes, ids clothes, baby supplies, school supplies, personal hygiene items, toys, food and other things that single mom may need to provide for her family. Mother’s will be able to shop through the store and take what she needs for free. While mom’s are shopping there will be games and activities for the kids to enjoy. There will also be food available all day for mothers and their children. The food provided will be appropriate for the time of day the appointment will be and the food is free! The event is intended for single mothers with children at home, however, it is not completely limited to single
moms. The church will consider widows and elderly couples that are on a fixed income and could use this type of service. There is a registration process for this event. Mom’s need to be the one that apply. Call the Mtn. View Christian Church at 417-934-6843 to apply.

Butterfly Garden - Four 5th grade students from Ms. Webb’s homeroom helped the Mtn. View Garden Club plant 24 native butterfly milkweed plants in front of the Mtn. View Elementary School this week. Monarch butterfly numbers are down from previous years. Planting milkweeds will help the population grow. This is a National Garden Club, Inc. project involving all 50 states. The students learned that the Monarch butterfly lays its eggs only on milkweed plants. The caterpillars feed on the leaves of the milkweeds and get lifelong protection from predators through the milky sap which contains a toxic substance. Earlier this spring other students helped plant 36 common milkweed plants in the same school garden. It is hoped that soon this area will be designated an official Monarch Waystation.

OMC Blue Jean Ball September 24 in West Plains
Health Tips and Advice for Senior Travelers Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are recently retired and would like to do some traveling both in the United States and abroad, but worry about health issues, such as insurance, finding a good hospital if we get sick, etc. What tips can you offer health conscious seniors who want to travel? Older Travelers Dear Travelers, A dream vacation can turn into a real nightmare if you get sick or injured while you’re away and aren’t prepared. Before setting out, here are some simple steps to help ensure a safe and healthy trip. Talk to your doctor: If you have a medical condition or health concerns, a good first step is to talk with your doctor now about what precautions you need to take before traveling. You should also have your doctor’s contact information with you when you travel, as well as a list of your medical conditions and the medications you’re taking in case you need emergency medical care while you’re away. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., you need to find out the health conditions of the country you’re visiting and what, if any, vaccinations and/or preventative medications are recommended. See CDC.gov/travel or call 800-232-463 to get this information. Check your insurance: If you have health insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan through an HMO or PPO that covers in-network doctors only, check your plan to find out what’s covered if you need medical care when traveling outside your geographic area. Beneficiaries that have original Medicare are covered everywhere in the U.S. But if you’re traveling abroad, you need to know that original Medicare does not cover medical expenses beyond the border except in rare circumstances, although some Medicare Advantage plans and some Medigap supplemental policies do. And, many private health plans don’t pay health care costs outside the U.S. either. Be sure to check. If you need coverage when traveling abroad, get a comprehensive travel medical insurance policy that covers medical care, medical evacuation and trip cancellation coverage. See InsureMyTrip.com and SquareMouth.com to shop and compare policies. Locate health care: Before your trip, find out what health and urgent care facilities are near the areas you’re visiting. Your hotel can help you with this, or see UrgentCareLocations.com or USHospitalFinder.com for U.S. facilities. If you’re traveling abroad, the U.S. consulate or embassy in the countries you’re visiting (go to step.state.gov to enroll your trip) is a good place to get a referral. Or join the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (IAMAT.org), which provides its members access to a worldwide network of physicians who speak English and have agreed to affordable prearranged fees. Membership is free. Pack your meds: Make sure you have a sufficient supply of medications to last the entire trip. If traveling by air, you need to pack your medicine in your carry-on bag, so if your checked luggage gets lost or misdirected you won’t be without. It’s best to keep your medications in their original containers to get through airport security without delays. It’s also a good idea to bring along a note from your doctor that explains why you take these medications, especially if syringes or other medical supplies are involved. For airport security requirements visit TSA.gov – click on “Disabilities and Medical Conditions.” You can also call TSA Cares at 855-787-2227 prior to traveling with questions about screening policies, procedures and what to expect at the security checkpoint. Seek mobility aids: If mobility is an issue and you’re flying to your destination, call your airline before you leave and ask them to supply you a wheelchair to use while you’re in the airport. And when booking hotel reservations, ask for an accessible room that accommodates wheelchairs and walkers. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

During the 2015-2016 school year, youth ambassadors volunteered over 1,100 hours. “The Youth Ambassador program has been an excellent way for some of
our area young people to get a taste for working in a healthcare environment and to provide a valuable service to the hospital,” April Steele-Clem, Youth Ambassador coordinator at TCMH, said. The Youth Ambassador program at TCMH was created as an extension of the hospital’s traditional Auxiliary program. The program is limited to 40 students. Members are chosen from a formal application process. Youth Ambassadors are required to go through an orientation and must commit to volunteering at TCMH for four hours each month. The program includes three levels of volunteer achievement, and the three levels can be
achieved based on volunteer hours and work ethic. Since its inception, many Youth Ambassadors have reached the various levels of achievement in the volunteer program. Several former Youth Ambassadors now have jobs working in the hospital departments. Youth Ambassadors have also received educational scholarships from TCMH. Volunteer duties include passing out fresh linens and filling ice water cups for patients on the medical surgical floors, greeting visitors and patients at the main entrance, and reading to and talking with patients in the hospital’s swing bed program. With the new construction, Youth Ambassadors
have played an active role in greeting patients and visitors at the new front entrance and helping them find their way in the hospital. “One hundred seventy-nine students have been a part of the Youth Ambassador program, and it continues to grow each year,” Steele-Clem said. Steele-Clem explained that the program has achieved its goal of providing area students with hands on experience and a much greater knowledge and appreciation for what goes on behind the doors of their community hospital. “There’s a lot more going on in hospitals than just people working as doctors and nurses,” Steele-Clem said. “Some of our current Youth Ambassadors will be able to continue to volunteer at the hospital in the upcoming year,” Steele-Clem said. “We hope to add to our ranks by opening up the program to new applicants and open up the world of the hospital to more students in our area.” Additional information about the TCMH Youth Ambassadors and the application for the program is available from Steele or area guidance counselors. The application deadline is Friday, Sept. 16. Steele-Clem can also be reached by calling 417/967-1236 or 866/9673311or via e-mail at administration@tcmh.org

Continue scouting for Fall Armyworm Fall armyworms have been found in extreme numbers in the area. Damage can appear almost overnight and can have devastating consequences on forage availability and hay yield. Producers are encouraged to scout pastures and hayfields by examining at least ten, one square foot samples at random locations across the field. Scout plant debris on the ground and for feeding damage on lower plant foliage for newly hatched larvae. As larvae grow in size, they will feed higher on the host plant. More than sixty plants have been reported as hosts of the fall armyworm, including corn, grain sorghum, alfalfa, grass pastures and hayfields, and vegetable
crops. Newly planted crops are particularly at risk. Fall armyworm can be identified by the appearance of four black spots forming a square on the eighth abdominal segment and the presence of a pronounced inverted Y shaped white mark on the head (Figure 1). Hay production is one control option to minimize damage. Using a mower-conditioner should destroy most of the larvae present. Insecticide treatment thresholds have been reached and spraying may be warranted when four or more half grown or larger worms are present per square foot. Multiple generations of fall armyworm have been observed across the region; this means that many different
larvae sizes can be observed in the same location. Since this is the case, short residual products like lambda or cyhalothrin may not give enough long-term control. Products with longer residual activity may provide better control, these include Prevathon, Besiege, and Intrepid. See Table 1 with a complete list of chemicals, courtesy of University of Arkansas entomology department. For more information on control options for fall armyworm contact MU Extension Regional Agronomy Specialist Sarah Kenyon at (417) 256-2391 or kenyons@missouri.edu. More information can be found from the MU guide sheet G7115 Management of the Armyworm Complex in Missouri Field Crops.

Brown's Farm & Garden Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 9/6/2016 Receipts: 1,347 Week ago: 1,667 Year ago: 2,598 Compared to last week feeder steer calves traded 3.00-7.00 lower while heifer calves were 7.00-10.00 lower. Yearling feeders were lightly tested, however undertones were lower. Demand was light on a light supply. The Labor Day break failed to slow down the downward trend in the cattle futures, with nearby feeders closing limit down. Supply was light as producers are looking at abundant grass and are staying on the farm in hopes that the market will soon turn around. Feeder supply included 46 percent Steers, 2 percent Holstein Steers, 35 percent Heifers, and 17 percent Bulls. Feeder Supply over 600 lbs was 40 percent.

Mizzou set to host Georgia by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Minutes before Missouri’s home opener against Eastern Michigan began, the pregame intro video quit working, so the giant north end zone video board just cut to a shot of firstyear head coach Barry Odom at the entrance tunnel, with his team lined up behind him. A player at the front of the team held a Missouri state flag out ahead, and Odom clenched a whistle in his mouth and gazed out ahead, hands on hips. Across the field, up the Rock M hill, and behind that video board, a statue of Missouri’s legendary coach Don Faurot also gazed northward, hands on hips. This was a big night for Odom, and he was surely aware of the coaching footsteps he followed. Odom led his team out on Faurot Field for the first time, and the Tigers (1-1) beat Eastern Michigan 61-21. Drew Lock threw for 450 yards, threatening the school record and taking the passing yardage lead among SEC quarterbacks. After a close quarter and a half, Missouri reeled off several big
plays and gave the fans a feelgood performance on a crisp night in Columbia. Of course, the enthusiasm comes with a measure of reserve, as Eastern Michigan (1-1) is not a very good team. Let’s see if the offense can put up some numbers against a name opponent. Speaking of, a barking, silver pants-wearing name opponent comes to Columbia Saturday. Missouri hosts Georgia (6:30 p.m. on SEC Network) in the biggest home game of the year for the Tigers. It’s always big playing Georgia (2-0), and if Missouri is going to challenge the presumed top three in the SEC East this is the game to start. Missouri has failed to score a touchdown in the last two games against Georgia, a maddening 9-6 loss Between the Hedges last year and 2014’s 34-0 embarrassment in Columbia. I’ll go out on a limb and predict Missouri to score a touchdown Saturday night, but it’ll probably take more than just one. Georgia running back Nick Chubb had a remarkable return after a gruesome
knee injury last year, running for 222 yards in the Bulldogs’ season opener against North Carolina. True freshman quarterback Jacob Eason is talented but new to the college football scene. Georgia’s defense has plenty of new starters but plenty of talent. First-year head coach Kirby Smart was the defensive coordinator at Alabama, so he knows a thing or 40 about great defense. After opening with a win over North Carolina, Georgia only beat Nichols State by two. Still, this is a good team coming to Columbia. The Bulldogs (No. 13 in the Coaches Poll, No. 16 AP) are the favorite, but I don’t think it’s a massive gap. Even if Eastern Michigan is bad, the confidence check Missouri’s offense got still cashes. The Tigers should be able to hang around, especially with a raucous home crowd. I’m not going to make any grand predictions of a Missouri win, but it’s the first conference game of the year, and Tiger fans can walk into the stadium Saturday night with hope.
came in 12th with a time of 12:22 followed by Allison Woolsey in 13th with a time of 12:31, Jada Henry in 15th with a time of 12:37 and Isobel Tripp in 39th with a time of 17:26. On Thursday, September 8 the team competed in the Steve Waggoner Cross Country Invitational. Running on a very wet course didn’t slow the team down as the junior high girls took first place with 52 points followed by West Plains with 81 points, Marshfield in 3rd with 82 points, Ozark in 4th with 83 points, Mtn. Home in 5th with 100 points, Salem in 6th with 126 points, Van Buren in 7th with 172 points and Mammoth Spring in 8th with 238 points. Individually for the junior high girls Kyle took fourth place out of 127 runners with a time of 10:43, Davis in fifth with a time of 10:46, Willbanks in 16th with a time of 11:42, Henry in 18th with a time of 11:46, McClellan in 21st with a time of 11:54.51, Woolsey in 22nd with a time of 11:54.96 and Tripp in 111th with a time of 16:49.

followed by Anna Woolsey in 13th in Class 2, 30th overall with a time of 24:28 competing against 44 girls in Class 2, 111 total runners for the race. Cooley took 49th in Class 2 with a time of 24:09 and Burks 53rd in Class 2 with a time of 24:44 in the boys varsity 5k. The boys competed against 65 runners in Class 2 and 186 runners total for the race. Head Coach Dallas Kyle had this to say about the season thus far, “I am very proud of all the runners on our team. Some of the 7th and 8th grade girls are in their fourth year of running for the school, and one is in her sixth year. The junior high girls team works
very hard, and deserves the victories they are earning now. Cross country teaches many important life lessons. The value of hard work is one of those lessons. They know if you don’t put in the miles and the time, you do not deserve to win. Coach Eric Tripp has done an awesome job with Amanda Mantel and Anna Woolsey this season. Both are showing much improvement from last year, and Amanda hasn’t lost to anyone in Class 2 so far this year. The junior high girls can not wait to join forces with these two girls next year, and compete for district and state awards.”
