Death investigation continues The ongoing investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control and the Camden County Sheriff's Office into the death of David O. Martin, 55, of Kaiser, Missouri, whose body was found floating in the Niangua Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 is still underway.

An autopsy conducted on September 18 revealed that Mr. Martin sustained extensive internal injuries, consistent with a fall from a significant Volume 108 - Issue 38 height. It is believed that injuries sustained from the fall ultimately resulted in him drowning. Toxicology reports are still pending.

There are no indications of foul play at this time. The by Brian Ingalls investigation is continuing Mountain View Standard News and no additional information office@mvstandard.com is available at this time.

House Speaker Tim Jones delivered a letter on Thursday, Oct. 9 to Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster requesting his office to defend the state constitution’s definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Jones issued the following statement in regard to his request: “Chris Koster has a duty to defend our state’s constitution, whether he personally agrees with it or not. His job is to uphold and defend our constitution, not to make policy. He cannot just abandon his duties when they are politically inconvenient, and I think it is disgraceful that he is attempting to do so. Today, I have personally called upon Attorney General Koster and asked him, in writing, to defend our state’s constitution or to appoint someone in his place who is capable and able of doing so.”

Eagles finished the second quarter with just a 6-0 lead over the Salem Tigers before exploding for 35 unanswered points in the second half to put the Tigers away 41-6 on their homecoming night.

Despite getting blown out by Mountain Grove the previous week, Salem had turned in better performances against both Ava and Thayer, losing each of those games

by just two points. The Tigers played more like that version of themselves in the first and second quarters against Liberty, keeping the Eagles out of the end zone in the first quarter, while threatening to take the lead themselves.

October is National Manufacturing Month Each October, America celebrates National Manufacturing Month. This is an opportunity to reflect upon the rich history of American manufacturing and look at where it is headed.

Two hundred years ago, immigrants from all over

the world moved to America to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution, and today, American manufacturing is still a world leader. According to the Manufacturing Institute, “The U.S. manufacturing sector is so huge that if it were its own country, it would rank as the eighth-largest world economy.” Here in Missouri, manufacturing

jobs employ 250,000 people, and make up more than 9 percent of the state’s private sector workforce (not including farming).

The impact of American manufacturing is enormous, and every step of the manufacturing process is represented here in our area. From metal production at aluminum smelters, to manufacturing engines big

with mix of the run and pass. Liberty dodged that bullet, however, stopping the Tigers star running back Zane Kyser at the line of scrimmage to force a fourth down, and catching a break when Salem’s field goal attempt went wide left.

Despite the defensive stand, the Liberty offense struggled to make much headway against a big Tigers’ defense.

Liberty finally managed to put together a drive and scored with 5:16 left in the second quarter on a six yard run by Bryan Porter.

“Salem had a good defensive plan,” explained Eagles Head Coach Darin Acklin on Monday, “We expected one thing and they did another! That has been pretty common this year. We are getting a lot of those… different types of defenses every week. Another factor is that Salem lineman average over 250 pounds per man. We don’t have that kind of size so we have to use angles to block people that are bigger than us.

Sometimes that takes a while to get established and make adjustments.”

If the scoreboard was any indication, not only did the Eagles make adjustments at halftime, but they got better at them as the game wore on.

After taking a 6-0 lead in the second quarter, Liberty extended that to 20-6 in the third, and scored three more

“Most home fire deaths occur where there are no working smoke alarms and about half of those deadly fires happen at night when people are asleep.”

Carrell said home fires often grow so quickly and produce so much smoke that people are often overcome before they can respond.

Working smoke alarms can alert family members to the danger, providing enough time to safely escape.

and small, to making the parts required for high-tech marvels like cell phones and fighter planes, to our thriving wood products industry that makes timber, flooring, barrels, and other products, the eighth congressional district makes many of the products we use every day.

In total, manufacturing accounts for nearly 90 percent of Missouri’s exports and is vital in the effort to create new jobs.

Manufacturing jobs are not just the jobs of the past – they are the jobs of the future. I have visited many companies seeking highly skilled laborers needed to make these products. This week I toured the new Brewer Science Expansion in Vichy, which specializes in advanced manufacturing technology and making microelectronic devices smaller, thinner, lighter, and more powerful. In these conversations with manufacturing small businesses I hear over and over that regulatory reform is needed to create jobs and grow the economy.

The American Dream is still within reach, but becoming more and more difficult to achieve. Taxes and regulations continue to threaten jobs, businesses, and the economic recovery.

Just last week we received word that manufacturer Invensys is moving about 400 jobs from West Plains to See Smith on Page 2

Propane consumers need to prepare early

As the winter heating season approaches, the Missouri Propane Education and Research Council is encouraging propane customers to take steps to fill their tanks early to prepare for colder temperatures.

"Early forecasts predict that colder and snowier than normal weather will return to the Midwest this year," said Steve Ahrens, MOPERC President. "We learned last year what can happen when inventories are low and demand is high. Being proactive will ensure that you have the warmth and comfort you need later in the year."

The challenges to the propane industry last year were unprecedented. Despite the availability of more than adequate supply in the US, getting it where it was needed proved to be the greatest challenge. To ensure the safety of businesses, farms, homeowners and their families, propane dealers and consumers need to be ready in case the same situation occurs this winter.

"We were hit by the combination of several unexpected events last year," See Propane on Page 2

Ahrens said. "Those factors are still with us and could impact consumers who haven't taken steps to prepare."

Could we see the same situation again this winter?

"We didn't fully understand the threat last winter," Ahrens said. "But that experience has given many Missourians the clarity and urgency to prepare for this season. The best hedge against volatility is planning ahead."

Early indications suggest that many propane customers have already begun preparing for cold weather. Gallons sold in Missouri for the months of July and August this year were almost onethird higher than the same time last year, Ahrens said.

September sales have been brisk as well. "Consumers understand that they have the ability to lock-in their supply and pricing before winter hits, protecting them from uncertainty or higher costs. There is a great deal of proactive supply planning going on right now."

Ahrens said the industry

From Page One has particular concerns for two consumer segments: Low-Income (LIHEAP) accounts and customerowned tanks. "LIHEAP recipients need to take a full delivery as early as possible which depends on the timing of government funding.

When a LIHEAP customer has funding remaining for less than a full fill, delivery is problematic‹the economics of a 50-gallon fill just don't work‹and it only gets more difficult when cold weather comes on."

Likewise, customers who own their own tanks traditionally shop for price and may wait too late to engage a supplier. "These customers should lock in their supply well before it gets cold. When propane dealers are trying to service their regular customers, it is difficult to find product or delivery time for gallons they may or may not have anticipated in their supply plans."

After last year's spike, pricing is a key question.

Chris Koster investigated the increases and found no widespread instances of price gouging. The unprecedented and widespread demand brought on by the winter "Polar Vortex" caused low inventories and supply disruptions. The resulting market function sent prices higher. Could that supplyand-demand scenario play out again?

"I am asked all the time about potential price increases this winter," Ahrens said. "Those who have a full tank and sufficient confirmed supply obviously won't see any increase at all. It may be surprising, but that's the same

Fire

experience many pre-buy customers had last year. Not everyone saw higher prices‹a great many customers had absolutely no increases or service delays because they'd planned ahead. Locking in your supply early takes all the drama and uncertainty out of this."

Ahrens reiterates that customers should contact their dealers as soon as possible and ask about steps they can take to manage their own propane supply.

"While the time has passed for summer pre-buys or the beginning of budget-pay plans in many cases, it's still important to contact your

each year, such as the return to Standard Time, when we set our clocks back an hour, makes it easier to remember. This year, Standard Time goes back into effect at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 2. Smoke alarms should also be installed in every bedroom, outside all sleeping areas and on every level of the home, including the basement. Each device should be tested every month by pushing the test button and replaced as soon as they don’t work properly or when they are 10 years old.

The Division of Fire Safety suggests creating and practicing a family fire safety plan that includes home fire escape routes and establishing a location outside the home where family members are to meet if they become separated.

For more than 85 years, fire departments and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have observed Fire Prevention Week, making it the longest running public health and safety observance on record.

Mexico to “enhance its competitiveness.” Businesses like Invensys will continue to find more cooperative locations to do business until America ends irrational regulations and lowers the corporate taxes that are smothering growth.

The Manufacturing Institute found that “complying with federal regulations costs Americans $2.028 trillion in lost economic growth” each year, and the United States has the highest corporate tax rate of any industrialized nation. That’s money that could be used to add new jobs, expand plants, and grow small businesses – it is why I am working in Washington to cut red-tape for businesses and end regulatory overreach.

My mother worked in a factory, and I could not be more proud of the hardworking people who manufacture the products the world needs to prosper. Now, we just need to get regulation out of the way so that businesses can innovate and expand.

of his time working on farms and ranches throughout the U.S. and settled in the Mountain View area on the 80 acres that became known as ‘Buck’s Mountain View Ranch.’

Buck sawed ties and farmed, then after a few years back problems forced him to retire. Then something happened to Buck that changed his life forever. On July 30, 1954 Buck Nelson was visited by space ships from another planet. “My first contact came on July 30, 1954. I was listening to my radio when it began to go crazy wild. My dog, too, set up a barking and my pony outside began to raise all kinds of cain.

“I went out the kitchen door, right over my head was a disc-like object. High in the heavens were two more.

Mark your calendars

I went inside and got my camera and photographed them 3 times. When the pictures came back they showed only 2 of the “Things” as I called them, I had never heard of “Flying Saucers.”

“I don’t know why, but when I went in for my camera, I had also picked up my flashlight. I waved the light at these “things” in a motion for them to land.

Instead of them coming down, they shot some kind of a ray at me. It was much brighter and hotter than the sun. I certainly couldn’t have stood it if it had lasted a few seconds longer.

“The ray knocked me down behind a barrel and I waited until these “things” left to get up. I had suffered, on and off, from lumbago in my back and neuritis in

my side and arm for fifteen years. When I started to get up, easy like, I was surprised because I felt no pain. Now regardless of how bad the weather is or how cold, there is no pain in my back. The ray also helped my eyes, so that, although my eyesight isn’t perfect, I no longer need to wear glasses, even to read, although I wore them for fifteen years. That was my first contact and it took place at about four o’clock on the afternoon of July 30, 1954” The stories of Buck’s encounters with extraterrestrials reached all over the country. Starting in 1957 Buck began to have yearly conventions at his place. In July 1959, the New York Daily News carried a story and pictures of the “Space Craft Convention.”

Free Dept. Of Homeland Security-certified course on Rail Car Incident Response coming to West Plains In 2008, the Federal Railway Administration (FRA) reported there were more than 7,000 rail car accidents and incidents, 20 of which involved hazardous materials requiring the evacuation of over 5,000 people. In the last five years there have been 166 incidents involving hazardous materials, most of which occurred in rural America according to the FRA. As more and more rail traffic involves the transportation of valuable cargo and hazardous materials, the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC) is providing critical training to help rural first responders, government

administrators, and emergency managers in the West Plains, Missouri area respond more effectively to a freight rail car incident.

RDPC will be delivering a free Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-certified course, AWR 147 - Rail Car Incident Response, from 8am to 5pm November 6, 2014 at Howell County Health Department, 180 Kentucky Ave, West Plains, Missouri 65775.

The course will educate those on the frontlines of defense in their community on what to do in the event of a rail car incident involving hazardous materials.

Fall Fun

There are many things in this life that we count on, but one thing we can always depend on is that Fall in the Ozarks means festivals and events. Over the last two weekends, I was a busy guy, attending these wonderful community events.

The weekend of Sept. 27-28, I attended Pioneer Days in Mountain View and the Fair Grove Heritage Reunion. On Oct. 4-5, I attended the Annual Black and Gold Walnut Festival in Alton, the OZ Fall Fest in Willow Springs, Pioneer Descendants Gathering in Ava and the Thayer Fall Festival.

The last weekend in September is always Pioneer Days in Mountain View. The festival starts with a ham and bean supper, music and dancing on Friday night. Saturday morning kicks off with an old fashion flapjack breakfast, old time music, dancing, antique car show, crafts, live Pioneer demonstrations, crosscut wood demonstrations, Mountain View’s Tee Pee Village, parachute flights, sack races, cookie stacking contest, bed races, and much more. Bed races and cookie stacking sure takes some coordination. Those events were fun to watch and to see the participant’s excitement.

The 28th annual Black Gold Walnut Festival on the Alton Courthouse Square began on Oct. 4, with the 2nd annual Run for the Gold 5k Run/Walk event and a performance by the Vikki McGee Band. The fun continued on Oct. 5 with vendors, craft tables and many fun contests throughout the day. Craft and food booths lined every open space on the square. Great music and entertainment from local bands and the Alton School District Choirs filled the air. Events included a cooking contest which must contain the black walnut ingredient.

On Oct. 5, I also spent time attending the Pioneer Descendants Gathering in Ava. This festival has become an event I truly look forward to. It’s a pleasure to see the wheel wright, black smith, molasses cooking demonstration, soap making, Civil War and Spanish American War Re-enactors and more.

Thousands of people joined me in attending the Oz Fall Fest in downtown Willow Springs. The event included a pie and garden produce contest. This event is another that turns a small town in District 33 into a booming city with little parking to be found. It is always a nice time, with lots of visiting, eating and memories being made.

As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol; however, during interim I may be in district. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

The eight-hour, instructorled course will introduce the rural responder community to basic rail car design and construction features as well as damage assessment strategies to help interpret damage to the rail cars in a hazmat incident. Upon completion of the course, participants will be better prepared to respond to a freight car incident without endangering the health and safety of the responders and the environment.

Registration is required for this course - Registration deadline is October 23, 2014, 5 p.m.

To register, visit- http:// training.dps.mo.gov/ sematraining.nsf/ TrainingSchedule?OpenForm For questions, contact Jack Raetz at jack.raetz@sema.dps. mo.gov or 573-526-9016.

The course was developed by the Ohio-based University of Findlay, an academic partner of the RDPC, to increase the participants’ knowledge and understanding of safety and hazardous conditions that may exist at the scene, and allow them to become more familiar with safe practices adopted by the railroad industry.

Although no formal prerequisites are required to attend this course, it is highly recommended that participants have a working knowledge of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) before attending.

All training delivered by RDPC is certified by DHS and is offered tuition-free for a broad scope of stakeholders including the traditional emergency response disciplines and other emergency support functions as defined by the National Response Framework as well as critical infrastructure owners and operators.

RDPC is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Training and Education Division (NTED), partnership of academic institutions with a vision of creating an environment where rural communities across America will have the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to enhance the safety, security and quality of life for their citizens.

Current members of the Consortium include; Eastern Kentucky University, The University of Findlay, NorthWest Arkansas Community College, North Carolina Central University and The University of California-Davis. Each of these institutions possesses extensive and unique capabilities relating to rural homeland security preparedness training.

The Center for Rural Development (The Center) in Somerset, KY is the Executive Agent for the RDPC. As Executive Agent, The Center provides grant administration and general oversight of the consortium.

Additionally, The Center is responsible for marketing, website hosting and administration, delivery coordination, data collection and reporting, and additional technologies including a large network of interactive television (ITV), videoconferencing, and learning management systems necessary to manage large student populations and deliver courses to rural responders across the nation.

For more information or to request training - visit www. ruraltraining.org. The RDPC help desk is also available at info@ruraltraining.org or (877) 855-7372.

Ragamuffin Garden Therapy -

The Mtn. View Garden Club held their monthly garden therapy on Thursday, Oct. 9 at the Mtn. View Healthcare. This month's hour was dedicated to making pumpkins. Club members, Connie Porter and Patti Sprague admired the pumpkin project with residents at the facility. Garden Therapy is held the first Thursday of every month at 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The Mountain View Garden Club is a member of the South Central District of the Federated Garden Clubs of Missouri and the Central Region of the National Garden Clubs, Inc. The club welcomes referrals from the public for their yard of the month.

We live in a world with Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook where people can become stars overnight.

However, popularity doesn’t equal greatness, but this week’s film is about one of the greatest artists ever. “Ragamuffin” is our movie of the week.

Rich Mullins was one of a handful of Christian artists that truly made an impact on

the music world. Christian singers were always written off because they weren’t “real” enough, but Rich was as genuine and real as they come.

Ragamuffin chronicles part of his life. It shows how hard his father was on him, it shows the heartbreak that came when the love of his life left. It shows what this amazing artist had to go through to create the beautiful music that he made.

It showed the moment that he came up with the amazing song “Awesome God” Ragamuffin is available on Netflix right now, and I sincerely hope you watch it because it chronicles an artist unlike any we’ll see again in our lifetime. We miss you Rich Mullins! 4 out of 5 stars.

Burial and Memorial Benefits Available to Veterans Dear Savvy Senior, Does the Veterans Administration provide any special funeral services or benefits to old veterans? My father is a 90-year-old World War II veteran with late stage Alzheimer’s, so I’m looking into funeral options and would like to know what the VA may provide.

Planning Ahead Dear Planning, Yes, the Veterans Administration offers a number of burial and memorial benefits to veterans if their discharge from the military was under conditions other than dishonorable – which will need to be verified. To do this, you’ll need a copy of your dad’s DD Form 214 “Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,” which you can request online at archives.gov/ veterans.

Here’s a rundown of some of the different benefits that are available to veterans that die a non-service related death.

National and State Cemetery Benefits If your dad is eligible, and wants to be buried in one of the 131 national or 93 state VA cemeteries (see www.cem.va.gov/ cem/cems/listcem.asp for a list) the VA benefits provided at no cost to the family include a gravesite; opening and closing of the grave; perpetual gravesite care; a government headstone or marker; a United States burial flag that can be used to drape the casket or accompany the urn (after the funeral service, the flag is given to the next-of-kin as a keepsake); and a Presidential memorial certificate, which is an engraved paper certificate signed by the current President expressing the country’s grateful recognition of the veteran’s service.

National cemetery burial benefits are also available to spouses and dependents of veterans.

If your dad is cremated, his remains will be buried or inurned in the same manner as casketed remains.

Funeral or cremation arrangements and costs are not, however, taken care of by the VA. They are the responsibility of the veteran’s family.

Private Cemetery Benefits If your dad is going to be buried in a private cemetery, the benefits available include a free government headstone or marker, or a medallion that can be affixed to an existing privately purchased headstone or marker; a burial flag; and a Presidential memorial certificate.

Funeral or cremation arrangements and costs are again the responsibility of the family, and there are no benefits offered to spouses and dependents that are buried in private cemeteries.

Military Funeral Honors Another popular benefit available to all eligible veterans buried in either a national or private cemetery is a military funeral honors ceremony. This includes folding and presenting the U.S. burial flag to the veteran’s survivors and the playing of Taps, performed by two or more uniformed military members.

The funeral provider you choose will be able to assist you with all VA burial requests. Depending on what you want, certain forms may need to be completed which are always better to be done in advance. For a complete rundown of burial and memorial benefits, eligibility details and required forms, visit www.cem.va.gov or call 800-827-1000.

Burial Allowances In addition to the many burial benefits, some veterans may also qualify for a $734 burial and funeral expense allowance (if hospitalized by VA at time of death), or $300 (if not hospitalized

by VA at time of death), and a $734 plot-interment allowance to those who choose to be buried in a private cemetery. To find out if your dad is eligible, see benefits.va.gov/benefits/factsheets/ burials/burial.pdf.

To apply for burial allowances, you’ll need to fill out VA Form 21-530 “Application for Burial Benefits.” You need to attach a copy of your dad’s discharge document (DD 214 or equivalent), death certificate, funeral and burial bills. They should show that you have paid them in full. You may download the form at va.gov/vaforms.

Death Notices Veral Wayne Davis Veral Wayne Davis was born on May 2, 1940 in Mountain View, Missouri, the son of Veral “Buster” Davis and Eunice Colter Davis. He passed away at

Mountain View Healthcare on October 7, 2014 at the age of 74 years.

Wayne was married to Dixie Smotherman on February 25, 1962. To this union, Dixie brought Donna Jo and Becky. Two more daughters, Betty and Tammy were born to them. Wayne married Joyce Coulter on September 7, 1973. With this marriage, Joyce added to our family two children, Joy and Johnny. One daughter, Shannon, was born to this union. This created what Dad loved to call “His, Hers and Ours”.

Wayne is preceded in death by his parents and one infant son. He is survived by three daughters, Betty

Hockman and husband, Steve; Tammy Hite and husband, Tom; and Shannon Elliott and husband, Scottie, all of Mountain View; one step-son, Johnny Potts of Mountain View; three stepdaughters, Joy Hawkins and husband, Alan, of Orange, TX, Donna Armstrong of Mountain Home, AR and Becky Hankins of Strafford, MO.

Wayne worked at the Ford garage and then in the cord woods. However, most of his career he was a self-employed mechanic.

He was known for ability to fix anything. Many people brought their autos and tractors to him saying “no one else has been able to fix this”. Wayne always could.

Later he became a carpenter and worked with his brother,

Edward Eugene Stewart, Sr. Eddie.

Wayne loved to hunt deer and turkey. He lived just a few miles from the Jacks Fork River most of his life and always managed to find time to “get in a little fishin”.

In his later, retirement years, he and his brother, Eddie, stayed busy together plotting new ventures that were sure to get them both into trouble.

His other favorite past-time was riding his motorcycle.

He took many vacations on it in Colorado and many places in between. He was on his motorcycle just days before he entered the hospital and nursing home.

Wayne was always known for his sense of humor and always wearing a smile. He never met a stranger and loved to tease the waitresses and nurses. He is greatly missed by all who love him.

His presence will be with us in the memories and lessons he taught us.

Liberty Lady Eagles wrap up softball season The Lady Eagles Softball ended their season with a record of 5-13. Despite the record, many positives can be placed on the year.

The Lady Eagles had a freshman catcher and pitcher who both gained valuable expierence and improved with every game according to Head Coach Robert Brown. "As a team, there were only about four games in which we were just truly outmatched; the remainder we competed and made teams earn what they got. That is a big change from a year ago. We had a strong team bond, no drama or jealousy. It was pleasant from that standpoint. We will miss our four seniors Taylor Barker, Mikayla Daniels, Leanna Briggs and Jessica Mantel. They are great young ladies. All four will be very successful young women in the

future."

The season concluded for the Lady Eagles on Wednesday, Oct. 8 during district play. The Eagles, who were seeded fifth in districts, began with a game against Houston. The Lady Eagles fell 6-16 against Houston officially ending the softball season. For the game, Jess Mantel, Taylor Pulliam, Brooke Taylor and Autumn Johnson had 1RBI apiece. "For four innings we played as well as we had all season long," reflected Coach Brown.

"We jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, made some good plays defensively and had a lot of momentum. When we got to the bottom of the fifth, we tied 6-6 and it escalated quickly; run ruled before we knew what hit us. We gave up ten runs in about five minutes. The major blow was a grand

slam homerun which killed any momentum we had."

Leading up to districts, the Lady Eagles were matched against the Alton Comets. Liberty won 2414. For the game, Pulliam: 3/5, 3R, 5RBI; Johnson: 1/3, 3BB, 3RBI; Bethanie Daniels: 3/5, 4R, 4RBI and Mikayla Daniels: 3/6, 3R, 3RBI. "We did a great job at the plate. The girls had 15 hits and took advantage of 17 base on balls. It was a lengthy game, a slug fest!

It ended when Mikayla Daniels hit an inside the park home run," stated Coach Brown.

The last home game of the season was played on Monday, Oct. 6 against Salem. The Lady Eagles fell 8-14 but did a great job of competing until the end.

For the game, Johnson: 2/4, 2R, 2RBI and her first homerun of her career; Jaci

Mantel: 2/3, 2R, 2RBI and her first homerun of her career; Mikayla Daniels: 1/4, 2RBI and Leanna Briggs: 1/4, 1RBI. "We did a great job of battling back and competing until the end," began Coach Brown

on the game. "Salem was up 8-1 going into the fifth, we narrowed it to 8-4 but gave up five runs in the seventh. We did answer in the bottom of the seventh with four more runs of our own, but it wasn't quite

enough. Brooke Taylor has continued to improve on the pitching rubber.

She had a career high of six strikeouts and only walked two, so we are pleased at her continued progress."

times in the fourth for a 41-6 victory.

Bryan Porter led the team in rushing with 126 yards on 26 carries, including three touchdowns.

Quarterback Josh Pruett turned another solid performance passing the ball, completing 12 of 19 passes for 154 yards to four different receivers. His favorite targets included Jansen Acklin who hauled in six catches for 101 yards, and Luke Daniels who caught four balls for 44 yards.

Pruett was second on the team in rushing as well, finishing the night with 16 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown.

The victory improved Liberty’s record to 7-1 on the season, and with the win over Class 3 Salem, the Eagles were able to capture the number one seed for Districts for at least this week, vaulting over 8-0 Strafford. If Liberty can finish the regular season next week as the number one seed, it would mean playing at home throughout the District

From Page One tournament, including any possible matchup against the undefeated Strafford Indians.

It’s just one of the factors that make this Friday’s game against the Houston Tigers an important match up.

“We have a several things to keep us motivated for week nine,” said Coach Acklin, “(It’s the) seniors last regular season game, tie for a conference title, and try(ing) to stay in 1st place in our districts.”

Going on the road against 0-8 Houston won’t do much to help Liberty with their strength of schedule, which plays into the District seeding, but for their part, Strafford is in much the same boat with a game against 2-6 Ash Grove.

Separated by just 0.23 points in the standings, where the Eagles and Indians end up is anyone’s guess.

“No matter what we do, we may not be able to stay in first,” said Coach Acklin, “but (what) we do control is how we play on Friday, that is important to

me, to us!”

Playing well this week may also be more important than Houston’s winless record indicates. Despite not having a victory, the Tigers have consistently outgained their opponents all season long, and last week against Mountain Grove, Houston was within a touchdown of the lead in the fourth quarter. The Panthers, who turned the ball over six times in the game, added one final score in the fourth quarter to put the Tigers away 30-14 in a surprisingly close call.

For the Eagles, their offense found themselves in a similar situation and didn’t find their rhythm until late in the second quarter.

A wide-receiver screen to Acklin went 12 yards, and two plays later Pruett passed to Daniels on another screen and the big junior took off for 18 more. Once inside the red zone, Liberty began handing the ball to Porter who needed just two runs to score and put the Eagles up 6-0 after

a missed extra point.

Stephen Shoup made the first of his two interceptions on the night to stop Salem’s next drive and Liberty had another chance with less than two minutes in the half. It started well after Porter ran for a first down, but a fumble recovered

by Liberty set the Eagles back, and a strange moment allowed much of the time to run off the clock as the Eagles tried to call time out, but the officials ignored them.

The second half was a different story. Liberty took the opening drive and marched right down the field finishing it off with an 11 yard touchdown run by Porter. The two point conversion was good and the Eagles had a 14-0 lead.

Liberty’s defense dropped

Keyser for a five-yard loss on first down to start the Tigers’ next drive. On third down, Shoup picked off his second pass of the night and the Eagles were back in business. Porter picked up nine yards, and Pruett ran the next play to the ten to give Liberty a first and goal. Two plays later, Porter rumbled in from six yards out for his third score. The Eagles wanted to go for two, but after four penalties –three against Liberty and one against Salemthe extra point was no good.

Salem got on the board on a 35 yard touchdown pass from Zack Eplin to Paul McClain, but three fourth quarter touchdowns by the Eagles put the game out of reach.

Marcos Rodriguez got the first touchdown from 4 yards

out. Pruett finished the next drive with a one yard score to make it 34-6 Eagles, and a seven yard run by Acklin was the icing on the cake as the Eagles drove away from Salem’s homecoming with a 41-6 victory.

LIBERTY PASSING: Pruett 12 of 19, 154 yards, INT; RUSHING: Porter 26 carries, 126 yards, 3TD’s; Pruett 16 carries, 76 yards, TD; Rodriguez 4 carries, 38 yards, TD; Acklin 3 carries, 17yds, TD; RECEIVING: Acklin 6 catches, 101 yards; Daniels 4 catches 44 yards; Brenton Bush 1 catch 6 yards; Daylon Popken 1 catch, 3 yards; DEFENSIVE: Shoup 2 int’s, 36 yards; Acklin 1 int, 24yds.

Georgia hammers Missouri, Tigers head to the Swamp next

by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist 34-0. Wow. At 11 a.m. last Saturday, Missouri was a leading SEC East contender and Faurot Field was rocking. By 2 p.m., fans were streaming out of the quiet stadium and Georgia was putting the finishing touches on an emphatic beatdown of the Tigers.

This game was a demolition, the football equivalent of a perfect game.

After the news late in the week that star Georgia running back Todd Gurley was suspended for possibly breaking NCAA rules, Missouri seemed to have a wind at its back. Instead, Georgia (5-1, 3-1 in SEC) pulled Nick Chubb out of its toolbag and hammered away again and again and again until the scoreboard clock brought a merciful end to the proceedings. Chubb ran for 143 yards on 38 carries and added four receptions for an

astonishing 42 touches for the freshman who was used to a backup’s workload.

But the disaster for Missouri (4-2, 1-1 in SEC) was on offense. The Tigers managed just 147 yards of offense and never moved the ball inside Georgia’s 20-yard line. In an incomprehensible development, Missouri ran just four plays in Georgia territory and turned it over on three of them.

Missouri hadn’t been shutout since a 2002 loss to Kansas State in Columbia.

Maty Mauk had a nightmare game, throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble. To be fair, two of the interceptions bounced off a receiver’s hands first.

Missouri’s receiving corps continued to struggle big time, especially with No. 2 receiver Darius White again out with an injury. Still, Missouri cannot win when Mauk has a game like this.

The offense was awful for most of the South Carolina

game before a frantic rally saved the day. Georgia’s defense is not elite, but they still suffocated the Tigers’ anemic attack. Missouri has to find a way to move the football or this season could come off the rails.

Missouri is nominally still in the SEC East race and home games with Vanderbilt and Kentucky provide an accessible route to bowl eligibility, but the offense has to get better for this season to amount to much.

In college football, the narrative can change in a hurry, and Missouri has a chance to change the course of its season this Saturday at Florida (6 p.m., ESPN2).

Florida (3-2, 2-2 in SEC) also has a scuffling offense, so this game may not be for those with weak stomachs. The Gators do have a stout defense, led by Vernon Hargreaves, one of the best cornerbacks in the SEC, although he left the game last week after taking a knee to the helmet.

Florida let a game slip through its fingers against LSU on Saturday, and Gators coach Will Muschamp could really use a win against the Tigers.

In this defensive struggle - emphasis on struggle any points will be precious.

Missouri had turnovers problems last week and last time playing at Florida. The Tigers and this offense can’t afford to do that if they’re going to win in the Swamp.

MDC, CFM encourage deer hunters to Share the Harvest Help feed hungry Missourians by sharing your harvest. Funds are available to help cover processing costs

Many Missourians need help with putting meat on the dinner table. Deer hunters can help by sharing their harvests through Missouri’s Share the Harvest program.

Share the Harvest connects deer hunters with hungry Missourians through participating meat processors and local hunger-relief agencies around the state.

To participate, hunters simply take their harvested deer to one of more than 130 participating meat processors and let the processor know how much venison they wish to donate to the program.

Hunters can donate a few pounds to a whole deer. The processor will package the ground meat, which will be given to local charitable

agencies for distribution to hungry Missourians.

The program is administered by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM).

The National Institutes of Health state that children need protein in their diets for proper growth and development, and adults need it to maintain good health.

Yet many Missourians and their families can't afford or can't get good sources of protein. Deer meat, or venison, is a local source of much needed lean protein.

“Conservation makes Missouri a great place to hunt for more than 500,000 deer hunters who harvest

more than 200,000 deer each year,” said MDC Director Bob Ziehmer. “By sharing part of their harvest, these deer hunters can help feed many hungry Missourians in their communities.”

Since 1992, Missouri hunters have donated more than 3.1 million pounds of venison to the needy through Share the Harvest. In 2013, nearly 4,500 hunters donated more than 227,000 pounds of venison.

"Throughout history, hunters have provided for their communities,” said CFM Director Brandon Butler. “Share the Harvest continues that tradition.

Hunters who donate a deer to the Share the Harvest program are making a

Taylor Bryant has been named University of Missouri Extension 4-H youth development specialist in Howell County. Along with Howell County Taylor, will be working with Ozark and Douglas County youth.

Taylor is a recent graduate of the University of MissouriColumbia, were she obtained a master's degree in agricultural education. In December 2013, she received her bachelor's degree in agricultural education— leadership.

University of Missouri Extension 4-H youth development programs help children and teens become caring, capable, competent and contributing through a series of progressive experiences over time with caring adults during nonschool hours. Our 4-H youth development programs focus on the broader developmental needs of youth, rather than preventing single issues or

problems.

How does your work impact residents of the area?

"By providing synergistic programs, dedicated volunteers, and spirited youth continue to enforce our vision of a world in which both youth and adults learn, grow, and work together as catalysts for positive change. In Missouri, 104,157 youth between the ages of 5 and 18 participated in a 4-H education program last year. Educational 4-H programs are volunteer-led and reach youth through small groups called clubs and through classrooms, in some cases. Members of 4-H choose from over 40 projects to participate in during the 4-H calendar year. Based on a recent study, youth actively involved in 4-H are four times more likely to make contributions to their communities," said Taylor.

What are some goals you have for the coming year?

"Within the coming year, 4-H education programs will see growth and development in general membership.

This will get done by providing youth the chance to gain 4-H programing in non-traditional platforms like Teen Leaders, 4-H Afterschool programing and partnerships with local organizations. In addition, the opportunity to push youth outside of their comfort zone to make inspirational choices and visit the University of Missouri and travel across the United States," said Taylor.

Is there a group you are targeting for services? "The focus of my 4-H programing efforts will be eight to eighteen year-olds. " said Taylor.

Any family information you wish to share? "I grew up on a diversified row crop operation in the northern part of Callaway County.

My passion for agriculture started at home," said Taylor.

Ozarks Fruit & Garden Review Moving Houseplants in From Outdoors

by Marilyn Odneal Horticulture Adviser Many of us move our houseplants outdoors in spring for summer use on the patio or deck decor. Indoor plants fill in gaps in our container gardens and put on new, healthy growth in the process.

Now we are getting ready for the dormant season by cleaning out our fountains and rearranging our “outdoor rooms” for winter.

That means moving the houseplants that summered on the patio or deck back indoors for the winter. A good time to make the move is when temperatures during the day are in the 60s and in the 50s at night. Some tropical houseplants can be injured at temperatures in the 40s – so if these temperatures are forecasted, it is time to move quickly.

If some of your plants have increased in size during

the summer, it’s a good idea to re-pot them. You can either put them in a pot that is slightly larger than the one they are growing in, or you may put them back into the same pot after pruning off some of the roots. The root ball should have about an inch of free space between the wall of the pot and the outer roots to give them room to grow.

If the plants are fine in their present pots, take them out anyway to make sure there are no critters like slugs at the edge of the root ball. Then check the foliage for yellow or otherwise damaged leaves and remove them. If you see any insect problems that you want to treat with insecticidal soap or another pesticide, do so outdoors. If not, it is a good idea to spray the plants with a mist setting on your hose spray gun to clean them.

Once you bring your plants in, it is a good idea to

South Central Cattlemen's Association meeting The South Central Cattlemen’s Association will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21 with a meal at 6 p.m. and meeting at 7 p.m. at Mega Motorsports in West Plains. The meeting will feature topics covering a wide spectrum of the beef industry.

Lance Waltner with Anderson Equipment will talk about the process of making baleage using inline and individual bale wrappers.

Representatives from Mega Motorsports will also give an overview on ATV safety.

Roast Beef sandwich meal will be provided courtesy of

Mega Motorsports.

South Central Cattlemen’s Association was organized in 2009 serving cattle producers in Howell, Oregon, Ozark, and Shannon counties. The purpose of the Association is to advance economic, educational, political and social interests of the Missouri Cattle Industry.

All cattle producers, business associates, and members are encouraged to attend. For information on the association contact Wayne Nichols, president, at 417-252-7071.

isolate them from your other houseplants just in case they are harboring pests. You might even put some light plastic, like the material used to for clothes at the dry cleaners, if you think there may be an infestation.

Inspect the plants after they are indoors for a few days and then move them back to their place in the house.

Remember that your plants are moving from the outdoor environment to the indoor environment. They are bound to lose some leaves or show some stress in the move. Don’t worry; it will just take some time to readjust. Remember that in fall and winter, day length is not as long and light levels are not as intense. Of course, light levels in the home are not as intense as outdoors either.

In fall and winter, the plants are not growing as much as in the summer and will not require as much water or fertilizer as during the growing season. Setting them on a tray with pebbles and water will help maintain higher humidity and help modify the dry winter air. Adjust care accordingly and your summer deck dwellers will soon be happy and healthy houseplants again.

positive impact in the lives of their fellow Missourians.”

Funds are available to help with processing costs when a whole deer is donated during all portions of the archery and firearms deer seasons.

CFM reimburses processors a predetermined amount for each whole deer donated.

This allows processors to reduce processing fees to hunters.

Statewide sponsors of the cost-reduction program include MDC, CFM, Shelter Insurance, Bass Pro Shops, Missouri Chapter of Safari Club International, Missouri Chapter of National Wild Turkey Federation, Midway USA Inc., Missouri Food Banks Association, United Bowhunters of Missouri, Missouri Trappers Association, and Missouri Hunter Education Instructors Association.

In addition, many processors have local money available that allows deer to be processed for free or at reduced cost. The cost of processing the deer is the hunter’s responsibility when local funds to help cover

the full cost are not available.

Be sure to contact individual processors to determine if local funds are available.
