Changes to smallmouth, rock bass regulations At its Aug. 26 meeting in Columbia, the Missouri Conservation Commission gave initial approval of proposed regulation changes by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) related to smallmouth bass and rock bass, also called goggle-eye. The proposed regulation changes create a standard 15-inch minimum length limit for smallmouth bass and a daily limit of one for all Smallmouth Bass Special Management areas. They also expand these areas on the Big Piney, Jacks Fork, Big, and Meramec rivers. The existing minimum length limit for smallmouth bass of 12 inches and daily limit of six fish remain for Missouri streams other than those of Smallmouth Bass Special Management areas. The proposed regulation changes also set a statewide length limit of seven inches for rock bass (also called goggle-eye, warmouth, Ozark bass, and shadow bass) and remove the Osage Fork of the Gasconade River from the Rock Bass Special Management areas.

Liberty Eagles triumph in face of adversity 32-0 by Brian Ingalls
Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It was a bittersweet night last Friday as the Liberty Eagles lost another starting senior to injury, but rallied to dominate
the Thayer Bobcats 32-0 and improve to 3-0 on the season. Once again Liberty’s defense allowed early yards and a couple of long drives before getting stingy near the goal line. Twice the Eagles stopped Thayer inside the red-zone, and

Officer-involved shooting in Barry Co. At approximately 2:19 a.m. on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, the Aurora Police Department notified Troop D of a pursuit involving one of their officers and a possible stolen vehicle. The pursuit continued into Barry County onto County Road 1165 near McDowell, Missouri. After the subject turned down a private lane, the officer stopped and exited his vehicle. The subject turned around and was driving toward the officer when the
officer discharged his weapon striking the subject. The officer took the subject into custody and rendered first aid until medical personnel arrived. The subject was transported to Cox South Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, for treatment of serious injuries; the officer was uninjured. The Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control is investigating the incident at the request of the Aurora chief of police.

that was more than enough as Liberty’s offensive starters finished the night on a roll, scoring touchdowns on three consecutive drives before giving way to the JV players in the fourth quarter. In the early part of the season, the Eagles offense has been efficient. Friday night, Liberty put together scoring drives of 13-plays, 4-plays, 7-plays, 8-plays, and 8-plays as they pulled away from the Bobcats. Josh Pruett completed 14 of 19 passes to four different receivers, for 218 yards and three touchdowns. Pruett also carried the ball seven times for 44 yards. His favorite target as usual was Brenton Bush, who tore up the Bobcat defense with seven catches for 107 yards, including a 34-yard catch where he wrestled the ball away from a defensive back. Bush also scored twice in the first half on catches of six and 28 yards.
He wasn’t alone. Koel Orchard continued to establish himself as a big play threat, pulling down four catches, including one touchdown while averaging almost 18 yards a catch. Marcos Rodriguez started to get more involved in the offense, catching two passes for 31 yards, and rushing the ball 14 times for 99 yards and a touchdown. The Thayer Bobcats simply couldn’t keep up. An 11play opening drive by Thayer was snuffed out by Orchard who intercepted a pass near the goal line for the second time in as many weeks. The Bobcats got close again in the second quarter, advancing to the Eagles three-yard line, but an intentional grounding call pushed them back, and Liberty stopped Thayer on downs at the 16-yard line.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received a call on May 27, 2016 regarding property damage and burglary of Eastern Gate Church in the area of NN Highway and CR 542. During the burglary several pews were flipped over, profanity written on a marker board, a swastika drawn on the pulpit, damage to some decorations, glue poured on the piano keys, along with other various types of damage in the church; however, the members had attempted to clean up what they could of the damage already at this point. The only thing that seemed to be missing was a 47 inch flat screen TV. After talking to members of the community surrounding Eastern Gate and following up on leads Sgt.

The Bobcats wouldn’t get any closer thanks in part to some inspired play by the Liberty offense and defense in the third quarter. The Eagles’ players were responding to a devastating injury, which ended the season of senior lineman Adam Shaw. The injury came on defense as the Bobcats’ quarterback scrambled for a first down on third and long. During the play, Shaw suffered a severe leg fracture and the game stopped as medical staff tended to him. He was eventually placed on a stretcher, and taken to a hospital in Springfield where, according to his mom Judy Shaw on Facebook, successful surgery was performed to insert rods into his leg. Shaw is the second senior
starting lineman to suffer a leg fracture in the season’s first three weeks. Max Rudolph had a broken bone in his leg in week one, and is expected back in about a month. The injury to Shaw is expected to keep him out the rest of the season. It was mid-way through the second quarter when Shaw was injured, and came as the Eagles’ defense was trying to keep the Bobcats from pulling within a touchdown of the lead. Liberty had taken a 13-0 advantage following a 28-yard touchdown pass from Pruett to Bush, but the Bobcat offense had been moving the ball with some success in the first half. Thayer took the opening kick-off and converted three consecutive third-downs to
drive to the Liberty 11-yard line. A false start pushed them back, however, and Orchard intercepted a pass and returned it to the 13-yard line on the next play to put an end to the drive. Liberty’s first two plays went nowhere, but on third and 10, Pruett rolled out and passed to Orchard for 15-yards and a first-down. The Eagles picked up another first down on an option to Rodriguez that netted nine yards and a two-yard plunge by Rodriguez on the next play. Two plays later, Pruett passed deep to Bush who wrestled the ball away from the defender to turn it into a 34-yard gain, giving Liberty a first-down deep inside Thayer territory. A run by Pruett on third down to the 23-yard line,
The Liberty Lady Eagles Volleyball team is off to a great start as they stand 3-0 on the season. Starting the season, the Lady Eagles traveled to Doniphan where they defeated the Lady Dons in two sets 25-15 and 25-9. For the game, Piper Francis had 4 kills, 1 block; Brook Conway with 7 kills; Mckaelin Roy with 4 kills; Makayla Irvin with 3 kills and Ally Smith with 4 kills, 1 block.
Hosting the Lady Zizzers on Tuesday, August 30 the Lady Eagles won in two sets 25-19 and 25-21. For the game Conway had 6 kills; Roy with 6 kills; Irvin with 5 kills; Smith with 1 kill and Brenley Stearns with 6 kills. Ending the week with a home game against Eminence, the Lady Eagles once again won in two sets 25-15 and 25-19. For the game, Roy with 5 kills; Irvin with 5 kills; Makayla Elliott with
1 kill, 1 block; Smith with 2 kills and Stearns with 10 kills, 1 block. Next up for the Lady Eagles is a home game on Thursday, September 8 against Ozark then two away games on Tuesday, September 13 at Houston and Monday, September 19 at Winona.

followed by another quarterback keeper by Pruett gave the Eagles a first at the Bobcat 16-yard line. Bush hauled in a touchdown catch on the next play to give Liberty a 6-0 lead after a blocked extra point. It appeared as if the Eagles would get a chance to break the game open early after recovering the ball on the ensuing kickoff, but a fumble on a third-down play gave it back to the Bobcats. Liberty’s defense tightened, however, forcing a punt and the Eagles were back in business. Rodriguez got loose for a 17-yard run to the Thayer 28-yard line, and Pruett passed to Bush on the next play for the touchdown. Liberty led 13-0, but the Bobcats recovered the kickoff near mid-field and picked up a first-down to move onto the Eagles side of the field. It appeared the Liberty defense might stop them there, but disaster struck when Thayer picked up 20-yards on third and long and Shaw was injured. When play finally resumed, a pass to Clay Williams gave the Bobcats at first-down at the Liberty five-yard line. The
Eagles defense rose to the occasion again, however. Liberty forced an intentional grounding call, and three consecutive incompletions to end the drive. Both teams traded scoreless drives as the second quarter wound down, but with less than a minute remaining in the half, the Eagles took over at mid-field and struck again. Pruett passed to Bush for eight yards, and on fourth and two, Rodriguez took a draw up the middle for a 20-yard gain. Pruett passed to Rodriguez on the next play for 13-yards and a first-down at the Thayer seven-yard line with seven seconds remaining. After an offsides penalty against Thayer, Orchard took a four-yard slant from Pruett for the touchdown. Leading19-0 at the half, the Eagles’ players dedicated the rest of the game to their teammate Shaw. It showed. Liberty dominated the third quarter, opening the second-half by marching 64-yards in 8-plays, capping it off with a 4-yard touchdown run by Pruett. The defense forced Thayer to go three-and-out on the next series, and the Eagles went down
the field again. It was another 8-play drive, this one highlighted by an 18-yard scramble by Pruett that put the Eagles in Thayer territory, and a 29-yard pass from Pruett to Orchard to give Liberty a first-down at the Bobcat 11yard line. Rodriguez powered and spun his way into the end-zone on the next play and the Eagles had a 32-0 lead. The varsity players remained on defense for the next two series, not allowing a single Bobcat first-down. The JV players came off the bench to finish the fourth quarter. The victory improved Liberty’s record to 3-0 on the season, with a road game this Friday at Ava. The 2-1 Bears lost 26-0 last week to Mountain Grove. NOTABLE STATS, PASSING: Pruett 14 of 19, 218yards, 3TD’s; RECEIVING: Orchard 4 catches 71, TD; Bush 7 catches 107, 2TD’s, Rodriguez 2 catches 31; Conner 1 catch 9; RUSHING: Rodriguez 14 carries 99, TD; Bush 1 carry 5; Pruett 7 carries 44, TD; Orchard 1 carry 8.

Douglas Co. Coats for Kids 5k Run/Walk September 17 The annual Coats for Kids 5K Run/Walk will be held this year on Saturday, September 17. Registration
forms can be found at several local businesses and offices around town, including here at the sheriff’s office, and
can also be faxed or emailed upon request. Registrations will be taken up to and including race day. All runners and walkers will receive a t-shirt with their registration. There will be prizes awarded to the winners, along with
door prizes for all participants. The Coats for Kids program was started at the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department in 2009 and has provided coats for over 500 children in our community.
Celebrating Labor Day Many Missourians are eagerly anticipating a long holiday weekend as Labor Day quickly approaches. It’s always a nice weekend to take some time off from our busy lives and spend it with family and friends. This Labor Day will be no different. While this weekend will likely be full of end-of-summer activities, we won’t forget the reason we are celebrating. We are recognizing the men and women who demonstrate the hard work ethic that built this great nation. Make sure you take time for yourself and your family this weekend to look around and see all that our nation’s hard work has brought us. We have been celebrating Labor Day for 134 years. The first Labor Day holiday was held on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York. Twelve years later, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday. Today, we celebrate with parades and festivals across the country recognizing the American worker. While your family is taking some time to honor our hard working Americans, remember Labor Day weekend is also one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) says over Labor Day weekend 2015, eight people died and more than 165 people were injured in traffic accidents. MODOT estimates most of the crashes were caused by inattention, failure to yield, improper lane usage, following too close and speeding. MODOT officials say following the rules of the road and buckling up every time are ways to protect yourself if you are in an accident. Always drive sober. Designate a sober driver. Any kind of impairment on the road is dangerous not only to you and your passengers, but also to others on the road. 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.
Recognizing Student Success The Salem community and I took a major step toward fall last Friday when we watched Salem High Football return to play under the familiar ‘Friday Night Lights’. The start of a new school year is exciting because it is an opportunity for students to set new goals for the academic year and start to put plans in motion to achieve those goals. One of my goals is to visit all 125 school districts throughout the 30 counties of the 8th Congressional District of Missouri. One thing that I love is bringing ‘Congress to the Classroom’ and meeting with students to talk the issues they care about most. I am continually impressed by the students I visit and how they view the issues facing Congress as well as the creative solutions they have for solving these problems. I often leave my visit with a new perspective on how the future of our country judges the issues we are facing today. I have met some incredible young people across southeast and south central Missouri - young people who are not only involved in their own personal growth and achievement, but also involved in what goes on in their schools and communities. One way in which I can honor the time, hard work, commitment and sacrifice these young students have made to better themselves and the community around them is through the Congressional Award. The Congressional Award is one of the highest recognized and official honor awards that a Member of Congress can bestow on an accomplished student and volunteer. Congress has been giving out this award since 1979 to recognize talented young people across the country and celebrate their commitment to bettering themselves and their communities. All youth between the ages of 14 and 23 are eligible to register for the Congressional Awards program. Qualifying for the Congressional Award is simple because many youth are already meeting the requirements through their everyday service to their community. However, the first step is to sign up because candidates can only get credit for the service and goals they achieve after they have signed up. Candidates can sign up online at my website, www.jasonsmith.house.gov. After completing the sign up process, candidates for the Congressional Award must pledge to challenge themselves by offering hours of community service to do things like help out at a homeless shelter or mentor a younger student. Additionally, they may also pledge to improve their physical fitness or develop a project of personal exploration, such as specialized study of a specific topic or making a trip to learn about another culture. Many students who are already taking part in the A-plus program, Eagle Scout, Future Business Leaders of America, National Honor Society or students involved in FFA like I was are most likely already completing some of the requirements of the Congressional Award program. Currently, there are 50,000 young people throughout the nation working toward the award. They earn certificates, or continue to bronze, silver or gold medals based upon their achievements. Gold medalists are invited to Washington D.C. for a special ceremony to honor their achievements. Students from Sikeston to Hillsboro, from West Plains to New Madrid, and from Cape Girardeau to Ava have signed up to be a part of the Congressional Award program. I look forward to seeing these incredible young people work to earn the prestigious award and I am excited to get the chance to honor them with an award for all of their hard work. There are many other students across southeast and south central Missouri that I want to encourage to get involved in this program. I also encourage parents and teachers of these young people to urge them to get involved in a personal growth program with the start of a new school year.
We work closely with the three local schools in determining need. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Department works closely with Wal-Mart in and arranging and acquiring the coats. The coats are then delivered to the schools and distributed discreetly through the school personnel. All proceeds raised from this event go towards providing warm winter coats to school children in Douglas County that may not otherwise have one. If you, as a business or individual sponsor, would like to donate to this great cause you can contact Bridgett or Sarah at the Sheriff’s Office at 417-6831020. As a sponsor, your business will be displayed in the local newspaper, our website, and on the back of the shirts from the 5K. All donations and prizes would be greatly appreciated! We are adding new sponsors every day to the contributions we have already received. The Douglas County
Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the following sponsors for their donations: State Farm Insurance-David Coday; Clinkingbeard Funeral Homes; Ava Building Supply; Bates-Crouch Law Office; Home Pride Bank; Town & Country Bank; Douglas County Livestock Auction; Mark Beyer; Tax Diva Services; Animal Clinic of Ava; Copeland; Wax Museum Branson, MO; Grand County Music Hall Branson, MO; Silver Dollar City Branson, MO; Showboat Branson Belle Branson, MO; Presley’s Country Jubilee Branson, MO; Ride the Ducks Branson, MO; M&R Asphalt; Ava Laundry; Acrobats of China; IMAX Entertainment Complex; Davis Tire & Wheel; Cash Gas LLC; Pro Design; Road ID; KKOZ; Kiwanis Club; Wes Hampel; Loveless Farms; Judge Elizabeth Bock; SIR Electric; Cold Creek Cowboy Church; Ava Wal-Mart; Ava Sonic.

West Plains:
Golf carts, motorized wheelchairs law update The West Plains Police Departmant has received numerous calls from the public in reference to the operation of golf carts on city streets. So in hopes of clarifying the matter for our citizens I would like to explain current Missouri State Law in regard
to those vehicles. A golf cart, as we all know is a three or four wheeled vehicle primarily designed for operating on golf courses transporting people and equipment. The state’s definition is “ a ‘golf cart’ means a motor driven vehicle that
is designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting or recreational purposes and that is not capable of exceeding 20 miles per hour”. (302.034.3 RSMo) The golf cart cannot be operated at any time on any federal or state highway, or cross any state or federal highway with a speed limit of more than 45 miles per hour. The “golf cart” also has to have adequate brakes. So far, that is the only equipment requirement. This definition was added to city ordinance recently, and has many concerned that West Plains was not going to
allow operation of golf cart on city streets. That is simply not the case. This definition change was instituted so that the city could enforce driver’s license laws currently in effect under 302.080 RSMo. This law basically states that all persons operating a motor vehicle on the roadways of this state have in their possession a valid driver’s license. This includes cars, trucks, 49cc scooters, and any other motor driven vehicle when used for transportation. The West Plains Police Department hopes this explains why the definition was added. Safe driving!

Missouri opens season with loss at West Virginia by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Here we go again? After a 2015 season that saw Missouri struggle to score, the Tigers began the Barry Odom era with a 26-
11 loss at West Virginia on Saturday. Missouri (01) had mustered just three points until a touchdown in the final two minutes, when the Tigers trailed 26-3 and the game was all-but-over. Of course, Missouri did
seem to at least move the ball better than last year. But many drives stalled out deep in West Virginia territory and freshman kicker Tucker McCann missed two field goals, including a chip shot that would’ve pulled Missouri within 13-6 in the second quarter. Missouri racked up 462 yards of total offense, more than in any game last season. However, the Tigers were running plays at a rapid pace to try to spark the offense, churning out 100 plays. That’s 4.62 yards per play, barely higher than last season’s 4.4 yards per play. For reference, Missouri’s talent-laden 2013 offense averaged 6.6 yards per play. On Saturday, West Virginia (1-0) averaged just over 5.8 yards per play and moved the ball pretty well against the Tiger defense, which needs to be a strength for this team. Missouri’s formidable defensive line didn’t record a single sack on Saturday. Sophomore quarterback Drew Lock completed 23 of 51 passes for 280 yards and a touchdown. He did have some good moments, and the second quarter may have been the best he’s played at Missouri. Receivers J’Mon Moore and Chris Black each had over 100 yards receiving. The hurry-up offense was a bold gamble, because if the offense fails it fails quickly, putting even more pressure on the defense. But it was encouraging to

Cheap Cellphone Plans for Seldom Calling Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, What are the cheapest cellphone options available to seniors today who only want one for emergency purposes or occasional calls? I have a cellphone now that cost me $30 per month, but I hate paying for something I hardly ever use. Infrequent Caller Dear Infrequent, For seniors who don’t use their cellphone very often but still want one for emergencies or occasional use, there are a many super-cheap plans available, or depending on your income level you may qualify for a free cellphone. Here’s where to find some of the best deals. Super Cheap Plans For seniors who are light/infrequent cellphone users, “prepaid” or “pay as you go” plans are the way to go if you want to save money. With these services, you buy a certain amount of minutes (for talk or text) that must be used within a specified period of time. While many cellphone providers still offer these lower cost plans, the very best/cheapest deal available today is through T-Mobile’s pay as you go plan (T-Mobile.com, 800-501-0952). For just $3 per month, this plans provides any combination of 30 minutes of talk or 30 text messages. If you want more, you can pay an additional 10 cents per minute/ message when you sign up, or you can make adjustments later. You also don’t have to worry about overage charges with this plan, because once you reach your talk/text limit for the month, the phone stops working. And, if you have a compatible device, you won’t need to purchase a new cell phone. If you’re looking for a little more talk time or text messages, another low-cost option is Pure Talk USA (PureTalkUSA.com, 877-820-7873), which offers a Senior AddVantage 80 Plan. This plan provides any combination of 80 minutes of talk or 240 text messages for only $5 per month. Pure Talk also accepts unlocked phones and they don’t have overage fees. Senior-Friendly Cellphone If you would rather have a senior-friendly phone with a large keypad and simplified features, and an “SOS” emergency alert button, the Doro PhoneEasy 626 sold through Consumer Cellular (ConsumerCellular.com, 888532-5366) is the best, low-cost option. It runs $50 for the phone, with calling plans that start at $10 per month. Free Cellphones If your income is low enough, you may qualify for a free cellphone through the Lifeline Assistance Program. This is a government-sponsored program that subsidizes wireless (and landline) companies who in turn provide free cellphones and usually between 250 and 1,000 minutes of free monthly talk time and texts to low-income Americans. (Some programs in some states charge a small monthly fee.) The free phones and minutes are provided by a number of big prepaid wireless companies like Safelink, Assurance Wireless and Budget Mobile, along with a host of other regional carriers throughout the country. Most states have several wireless companies that provide the free phones and minutes. If you are eligible, the free cell phone you’ll receive is a basic phone that also offers text messaging, voice mail, call waiting and caller ID. To qualify, you’ll need to show that you’re receiving certain types of government benefits, such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, SSI, home energy assistance or public housing assistance. Or, that your household income is at or below 135 or 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – it varies by state. To find out if you’re eligible, or to locate the wireless companies that provide Lifeline government cell phones in your state, visit LifelineSupport.org.

Glamp Pin Oak will provide women the opportunity to experience the outdoors at a special workshop from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at Lake of the Ozarks State Park in Miller County. Glamp Pin Oak will offer women the chance to learn to be safe, confident and comfortable in the outdoor environment. Located at the park’s scenic and quaint Camp Pin Oak, Glamp Pin Oak will offer sessions created for and taught
by women. The weekend will be filled with outdoor activities, arts and crafts, yoga, s’mores around the campfire and much more. Activities will include sessions on the basics of flatwater kayaking, the time-honored sport of archery, gourmet campfire cooking, including techniques for foil-packet meals and Dutch oven cooking, and smart phone nature photography. Each session will focus on
proper techniques, equipment selection and how to do the activity safely. There will be time for everyone to practice their new skill. Participants will stay at Camp Pin Oak, which was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Located in a rugged and scenic area of Lake of the Ozarks State Park, the camp has been the site for generations of gatherings by nonprofit youth groups such as Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. The four-person rustic screenedin cabins have single beds, mattresses and storage for
personal belongings. The cabins do not offer heat or air conditioning. A showerhouse and restrooms are available onsite. Limited tent camping is available for participants. The workshop will also make use of the Pin Oak Lodge, which was originally built with the rest of the camp in 1930s. In 2010, the lodge burned to the ground. Recently rebuilt, the modern replica of the original dining lodge includes today’s modern conveniences. Glamp Pin Oak registration is $75 per person if staying in a rustic cabin and $50 per person if staying in

MDC: Public input sought for Indian Trail Conservation Area The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is in the multi-year process of updating Conservation Area Management Plans, and is seeking public input on how the Indian Trail Conservation Area (CA) is important to Missourians. The Indian Trail CA management plan is open for public review until Sept. 30. MDC invites comments from recreational users, neighboring landowners, conservation groups, elect-
ed officials, government agencies, and other interested persons or groups. To make a comment on this area plan, go online to www.mdc. mo.gov/areaplans. MDC manages nearly 1,000 conservation areas covering almost one million public acres throughout the state for the purpose of restoring and conserving fish, forest and wildlife resources, and for providing appropriate public use, research and demonstration areas.
Migratory bird hunting starts in September The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds hunters that dove, snipe, and rail hunting in Missouri starts Sept. 1 with teal hunting opening Sept. 10 and woodcock hunting opening Oct. 15. Migratory-bird hunters can get detailed information on related regulations, seasons,
species, permits, limits, and more from MDC's “Migratory Bird Hunting Digest 2016” available where hunting permits are sold. Find detailed hunting information by species online at huntfish. mdc.mo.gov/huntingtrapping/species. Buy permits online at mdc. mo.gov/buypermits.
Conservation Area Management Plans document strategies for natural resource management and public use on specific conservation areas. Area plans also help communicate an area’s purpose and management direction to staff and interested citizens. Conservation Area Management Plans do not address regulations on hunting, fishing and other area uses, which are set by the Conservation Commission and enforced under the Wildlife Code of Missouri. Area plans are currently posted on the MDC website and available at MDC offices for public comment for a limited time. The enjoyments of activities on MDC conservation areas help enrich Missourians’ quality of life. For more information on area plan comment periods go online to www. mdc.mo.gov/areaplans.

Pioneer Days
From Page One
with a welcoming ceremony at 8 a.m. with remarks by Cham ber President Theresa Gehlken, prayer by J. B. Cantrell and the national anthem by Brad Jester. Following the ceremony, Debbie Leonard will play some lively piano tunes around 8:30 a.m. “You won’t want to miss what’s next,” said DePriest. “We have special demonstration by Edmond Owens and his sister Jane Sparks. They will show us how to do Jack and Jill sawing right in front of the main stage at 9 a.m. Thes e two have been Jack and Jill Sawing Champions for years and it is a thing of beauty to watch them saw.” The Woodsman competition will follow the demonstration on the island between the library and SBU. There will be entertainment galore this year. “An old-time Brush Arbor stage is coming back to Pioneer Days from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday,” stated DePriest. “It can be found behind Malone’s Motel near 3rd and Oak Streets.” The Brush Arbor will feature the Mennonite Church at 10 a.m., Turkey Oak Church at 11 a.m., the Mountain View Christian Church Praise & Worship Team at noon, Tatu m McCollough’s dramatic Christian presentation at 12:50 p.m. and the Mountain View Christian Church Quartet at 1 p.m. On First Street in front of the main stage, line dancers will form at 9:30 a.m. “Mary McCravy will have her adult line dancers first and then kid line dancers at 10 a.m.,” said DePriest. “Several kids started line dance practice last Saturday at the youth center and they are excited to show off what they’re learning.” The Grand Western Square will take to the street at 10:30 a.m. for a square dancing set before Edwin Woolsey steps up to stage at 11 a.m. to play some old-time harmonica tunes. The Country Fire Cloggers will get the crowd cheering with their fancy footwork at 11:30 a.m. The Strongest Pioneer contest will headline the middle of the day as individual competitors take on challenging tasks to compete for the title in the roped-off area behind the main stage next to the community center. “Thi s competition has been a team effort in the past. However, making it an individual competition opens up the possibilities for those who may not have had a team member in the past,” said DePriest. “We are looking forward to the surprises Luke and his committee will have for competitors.” On the main stage Saturday afternoon, the Jim Orchard Band will perform following the Strongest Pioneer (approximately 12:45 p.m.) followed by The Rabuns Sisters at 1:30 a.m. The Country Fire Cloggers at 2:15 p.m. and the Roy Bond Band at 3 p.m. Kids will have a blast all day long with the choo choo trai n, bounce-style joisting pit (age limits apply), petting zoo, pioneer toy tent, hands-on demonstrations, face painting and more. “Plu s kids can register at 11 a.m. to enter the Pinewood Derby Car Race that will take place at 1 p.m. in the park ing lot between Foster’s Appliances and The UPS Store,” DePriest shared. Demonstration alley to the east of the stage and communi ty center will feature folks demonstrating how to make butter, soap, apple butter, fishing lure, mandolins, homi ny, pysanky, rope, salve and candles. Fiber artists will exhibit crocheting, spinning weaving and rag rug hook ing. There will even be information on tanning hides. “For more all-day fun, visit the Antique Wagon Tractor and Car Show on Oak Street, the Ozarks Older Iron Club in the Mountain View Lumber lot and over 100 food, craft and other fine vendors all around the downtown area,” added DePriest. For more information, please call the chamber at (417) 934-2794.
