Director of Student Activities, Beth Rutt, was recognized for her commitment and contributions to education in Warrensburg with an award at the 56th DESE Annual Cooperative Conference for School Administrators. She was among six Missourians who received the award.

Rutt has served on the Warrensburg Board of Education for a total of 27 years and served as president for five years.

The district experienced significant growth during her tenure.

“The value of Mrs. Rutt’s leadership and stability are unprecedented. No one is more deserving of this honor and award than Beth Rutt,” Scott Patrick, Warrensburg R-6 superintendent of schools, said.

In addition to being the director of student activities at UCM, Rutt also teaches courses at the university and has served on a variety of campus committees in leadership roles including being the past president of the UCM Professional Staff Council and was part of the committee that planned the construction of the Student Recreation and Wellness Center.

GOV. ERIC GREITENS SUPPORTS AGRICULTURE AT FIRST STATE FAIR BREAKFAST

by JACQUE FLANAGAN Managing Editor

(SEDALIA, Mo.) – Missouri Governor Eric Greitens addressed a crowd of almost 1,000 Thursday morning, Aug. 17, acknowledging the importance and vitality of Missouri agriculture, receiving two standing ovations at the State Fair’s 65th annual Governor’s Ham Breakfast.

“Our administration has been working since day one to rollback regulations and working with federal partners to rollback regulations and within the state to reduce unnecessary regulations,” said Greitens.

His first week in office there was an emergency hold placed on all new regulations for thorough review, he said – calling farmers to action to speak out about burdensome regulations in order to unleash the power of Missouri agriculture.

The Governor said he has seen the impact of listening to the voices and working with Missouri farmers and ranchers, referring to the administration’s repeal in June of Obama’s, Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corp of Engineers “Waters of the United States” 2015 regulation. A federal regulation intended to protect waterways from pollution but overreached to private land, stunting the farming industry.

“In the last six months, Missouri has moved up nine places in the rankings of best states to do business. Today in Missouri we have more people employed than we have had at any time in Missouri history and in the last six months Missouri has been outpacing the nation in job growth,” said Greitens.

Chris Chinn, Department of Agriculture director, announced at the breakfast the securing of funds and donations for highspeed internet expansion in rural communities. One of many accomplishments within

the first six months of conservative office holders Greitens noted.

“I have had the opportunity to see our spirit and our resilience, not just in good times but also hard times. When a tornado strikes, when we face historic flooding in the state of Missouri. What you see is the people in this tent come together, they help their neighbors, they have each other’s backs. With that same spirit of courage and resilience we are going to move forward every single day,” Greitens said, closing his statement in celebration to a record-breaking state fair and bright future for Missouri agriculture.

Missouri’s state fair has been operating since 1901, this year’s theme was ‘Come

Home’, the fair broke previous records with an attendance estimate of 350,000 between Aug. 10-20.

Activities included the carnival, tractor pulls, 4-H and Future Farmers of America livestock competitions, a machinery garden and an abundance of display booths featuring Missourians artwork, business products and organizations.

The breakfast was only one of the daily events, others included motorsports, rodeo and bull riding and the hosting of various musical artists in the evenings – Sawyer Brown, Halestorm, Alan Jackson, Granger Smith, those on the Southern Uprising tour, King & Country, and Red Dirt features Casey Donahew, Wade Bowen and Mo Pitney.

MCCASKILL STANDS IN ‘COMMON GROUND’ AT TOWN HALL

by JACQUE FLANAGAN Managing Editor (WARRENSBURG, Mo.) – At the start of Sen. Claire McCaskill’s town hall Thursday at the American Legion, a man raised his hand after a woman across the table raised hers. They were the only hands in the air in response to McCaskill’s request to “Raise your hand if you know you’ll never vote for me.”

“I was down in the Bootheel, this was years ago, and I had a good ‘ole boy approach me afterward and say, ‘I think you salted those questions, I think you knew what they were going to ask.’ And I thought to myself, ‘How do I fix this so that people are reassured that I’m going to answer any question that’s being asked,’” McCaskill said.

She selected the man to randomly pick written questions to prevent any more accusations. The crowd of approximately 100 laughed in response.

The first question asked where the senator stood on censuring President Donald Trump over his equivocal response to the Charlottesville, Virginia, conflict that took place Aug. 13.

“My job out there is not to fight the president. My job is to fight for you,” she said. “I think that all of us need to think about what we can do to bring people together. We are

so divided right now. We all need to stay focused on how we can talk to people that we disagree with.”

Abigail Holland, a University of Central Missouri freshman criminal justice major with a minor in political science, said she was bothered by the crowd’s jeering reaction to her “soft” question asking for advice on how McCaskill got to where she is now.

“You’re talking about the future of health care and veterans and people in this country and then you say that my question isn’t important,” said Holland, in a followup phone interview. “You’re talking about your future, your kids’ future – I could be there (a senator) and you would be the ones voting.

How can you say that it’s not an important question when I’m the future of America and how it will be ran.”

McCaskill said this is an important question. She said the advice she received when she was younger was to work hard, but she never waited for anyone to tap her on the shoulder to say it was her turn.

There was disruption in the crowd about the man selecting the questions, his wife having four consecutive questions in a row.

Her questions addressed her concerns as a “white, conservative woman” being stereotyped as racist in the media and the vandalism of historical statues.

McCaskill said the vandalism should be prosecuted but every community has the choice to decide what they do or don’t erect

with public money. She then assured the woman that no one in the room thinks she’s a racist and the problem is on both sides.

“We need to talk to people we disagree with. We need to not go to our respective corners and surround ourselves with those that agree with us,” McCaskill said. “We need more conversations between people like you and those that clapped when I said,

‘It’s not fair to call black people terrorists that are a part of Black Lives Matter.’ We need to talk to one another because I can assure you there is stereotyping on both sides.”

She continued to answer questions about the budget, national debt and cuts to higher education, the Paris Accord, sales tax, and health care.

McCaskill spoke against universal health care because it would increase the national debt. She said she believes everyone should be accountable for their own coverage, similar to car insurance. She said she is focused on bringing down costs in the pharmaceutical industry as a joint effort between both parties, acknowledging previous mistakes were made with the Affordable Care Act. “When we got to the floor, we passed it with just Democratic votes. That was a mistake… a mistake because when you do it with just one party, it’s political. It’s not policy, it’s politics,” McCaskill said.

She closed the session by saying the good news after the second failed health care bill is that Congress is now able to stop playing politics and work on bringing together politicians in a bipartisan way.

“I do try to hang out in the middle and pull people in and find common ground.

The Constitution itself was the product of a lot of compromise,” McCaskill said.

“We’ve got to not lose sight of that value in America. That value that is compromise.”

STUDENTS SUPPORT CHARLOTTESVILLE WITH OPEN-MIC VIGIL

BY JACQUE FLANAGAN / Managing Editor

On the evening of August 24, Warrensburg community members gathered in solidarity in response to the conflict in Charlottesville, Virginia that occurred Saturday, Aug. 13.

Student Governor Matt Martinez said he helped organized the event to represent UCM’s community values against intolerance.

“We wanted to get together to say as a campus community that we don’t tolerate hate or injustice,” Martinez said. “We wanted to support Charlottesville in the sense that we can empathize with them. Racism affects our daily lives, we wanted to show that there are people on this campus that do care and stand together.”

Starting in the Speakers Commons, the event provided paints and markers for attendees to write their message of peace and justice on a banner. The event also had music for the freedom of expression.

The group later marched to the Friendship Tower. Those willing to volunteer preformed at the tower with speeches, songs and saxophones, or through fellowship and poetry.

Those who gathered were primarily University of Central Missouri students who fall into the ‘minority’ category. Others in attendance included UCM faculty members, student parents and President Chuck Ambrose.

Atsuki Mori, a mother of a UCM student of Japanese descent, said she attended the vigil because she is scared.

“As a parent I worry about my children and their safety, but I also worry about other students’ parents and how they feel about their children’s safety,” she said. Mori said even though we are different colors, we are the same and the way we feel toward one another – whether it’s love or sometimes hate – it’s the same and the only barrier is a lack of self-awareness.

Friends Isabella Valadez and Sophie Kludy, both freshman, said they attended the vigil in self-obligation after a Student Organization for Latinos meeting. Isabella invited Sophie as moral support.

Sophie said even though the issue doesn’t affect her personally she wanted to be there for her friend and her cause, at least as an advocate.

The event sponsorship included national and student organizations Association of Black Collegians, Student Organization for Latinos, International Students Organization, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, UCM Democrats, Prism and the Missouri Organized Student Alliance.

Aug. 24 - Aug. 31 | The Muleskinner

by MATT BIRD-MEYER

Muleskinner Faculty adviser

President Chuck Ambrose has a sort of running joke with the incoming managing editors at the Muleskinner.

It’s not so much a funny-haha joke but a friendly commentary on the state of the news industry: “So how much longer are you all going to keep printing the paper?” or something along those lines.

And it’s a valid question that everyone in the newspaper industry is either asking one another or thinking to themselves as they post stories from the field, shoot video, live tweet, livestream via Facebook and schedule mobile app push notifications.

But more importantly, the president’s question speaks to his genuine interest in a vibrant, sustainable and relevant campus news operation. He knows staff members by name, he references prior published stories to compliment or critique, and he makes time to answer questions.

The newspaper addresses tough issues, faces pushback from time to time, and makes its share of mistakes. That’s part of the process of news work. I think it’s clear, based on my previous experiences and from recent events, that our administration understands and appreciates this process.

Newspapers help sustain communities.

They serve the public trust. And they help us celebrate our achievements, uplift the marginalized, and interpret information as our world grows increasingly complex every day.

A campus newspaper has the added pedagogical benefit of allowing students to experience these functions firsthand, outside of the classroom. When the university president asks students poignant questions about the future of your industry, that pedagogical experience grows even richer.

So, it’s a big deal when a community loses its voice.

And that’s why it was so heartening for me to hear firsthand from the president about the support he and his leadership team have for our campus newspaper.

The circumstances that led to the Muleskinner budget cut are painful and convoluted. It’s pointless to dwell on that.

The important thing is that once the administration became fully aware of these circumstances, they acted swiftly.

Although the newspaper will not be printed this year, the students will be compensated for the hard work they put in to help sustain our campus community.

We hoped to have our newly redesigned website running by the start of school, but it’s more important that we deliver a useable and functional site than rush the work. What’s exciting is our new managing editor, Jacque Flanagan, has substantial ownership in the new website. She worked all summer with my colleague Eric Newsom on this project, enhancing her already strong design skills while learning more about open-source content management systems like WordPress and a good amount of coding as well.

That’s going to look great on a resume and portfolio. That’s what this college experience is all about.

Our goal is to converge our student media channels into digitalBURG.com, which is currently the primary website for the Muleskinner. The new site will feature the Muleskinner for news, the Beat for online radio, and CentralTV for original, student-produced TV programming.

The students have some great ideas.

And I think they are re-energized by the support they received from the administration to continue their work, implement these ideas, and leave here with the multimedia skills and experience that employers demand.

Piontek Uses Creative Methods to Acclimate Volleyball’s Freshmen

by JACOB WOERTHER Sports Editor

After wrapping up Volleyball’s third practice, Volleyball head coach Flip Piontek began to walk off the court at the UCM Multipurpose Building, but, to his surprise, his players were not ready to leave. They reminded him that he forgot to play “the match game”.

“The match game” was an idea Piontek formulated to familiarize the team with incoming freshman. Before Volleyball began their first week of practice, he had each freshman fill out a sheet that asked various questions regarding their hobbies, names of their siblings, and other fun facts about the players.

At the end of each practice, Piontek rolled out a board with the freshmen’s names on one side and their fun fact on the other side. He then asked his team to match the player to her corresponding fact.

“It helps the freshmen understand that the upperclassmen are concerned about them,” Piontek said. “But it also helps everybody learn what some of their interest are outside of volleyball. “ Although, the game was an instant hit with the team, Pointek explained that it wasn’t simply an icebreaker. He believes that team chemistry is essential for his team both on and off the court and even places on emphasis character when recruiting new players.

“It seems insignificant,” Piontek said. “But it’s really important for me to build that overall character of our team and have those freshmen fit in as soon as they can.”

This consideration for how newcomers would fit in with team was a greater challenge this year due to the unusually large number of freshmen that were brought into the program.

Eight of the 20 players on the volleyball’s team roster this year will put on a UCM jersey for the first time this season. These eight consist of former Lee Summit North teammates Aubree Bell and Mandy Kilgore, Ally Offerdahl, sister of Carly Offerdahl; Omaha Nebraska natives Paige Menke and Cassidy Loberg; Audrey Fisher; Anna Sykes; and Hannah VanBuskirk.

Piontek says the match game has been particularly helpful with the abundance of names and personalities to learn, but while the game is new, the concept is something that has been incorporated for years and will continue to be emphasized in the years that follow.

COMMENTARY: Why the Announcement of a Second Arrowhead Game is a Win for UCM

by JACOB WOERTHER Sports Editor

On August 11, I made what was arguably my best purchase of the summer: a ticket to the Chief’s first preseason game against the San Fransisco 49ers. In a swift, and impulsive decision I paid a measly $10.00 for a ticket to see Patrick Mahomes step onto a NFL field for his very first game. I thought I just got the greatest deal ever, but I was wrong. That night it was UCM who made their first cash-in on what could possibly be their greatest deal ever.

Whoever said ‘Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth’ has clearly never set foot in Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs fan-base never fail to disappoint and the 49ers game was no exception. Despite it being a preseason game, there were lines at the gates as early as two and half hours before game time. Over 66,000 members of Chiefs Kingdom poured in to see the rookie sensation take his first snap in the big league.

The crowd at Arrowhead got their money’s worth that evening. Alex Smith led the Chiefs to the end zone on their first drive of the game and Mahomes threw his

first touchdown in a Chiefs uniform. Although the action on the field demanded the attention of those in attendance, my concentration broke for a brief moment between drives when a familiar message came across the big screen over the end zone.

The screen flashed with an advertisement that encouraged those in attendance to get tickets for this year’s Fall Classic at Arrowhead Stadium. A voice then came over the intercom and explained that the game will feature the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats and the University of Central Missouri Mules.

If you were disappointed at the outcome of last year’s Fall Classic, then I applaud you. That means you took the time to stray away from the tailgating and parking lot festivities to actually invest yourself in the Mules’ game. Kudos to you, my friend – but if the only positive that you pulled away from the day was an enjoyable time sitting in a truck bed, then you’re missing the the bigger picture.

The advertisement on the night of that first preseason game was displayed in front of 66,000 people. Even if their attention was elsewhere at the time, they still heard over the intercom that UCM would be play-

ing football on the same turf as Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes in a matter of weeks.

This kind of publicity is priceless. More importantly, this kind of recruiting is priceless. There is no amount of “Choose Red” billboards or UCM commercials that could resonate with the public quite like the Fall Classic. Not only was the UCM football program advertised at Arrowhead Stadium, but the program was also validated through the fact the Mules are going to play a regular season game at the home of the Chiefs.

Large-scale publicity, especially at the Division II level, can be a challenging task.

Advertisement at an NFL event is the perfect start to hurdle this barrier. The benefits of the Fall Classic stretch beyond even a shout-out during Chiefs game, they also stem from the Mules opponent.

Northwest Missouri State draws in media attention like no other program in Division II. They were featured in three of the last four national championships and emerged victorious in each appearance. These national championships provided some sought-after hardware, but it also awarded Northwest with an additional recruiting tool: airtime on national television.

This prolonged success has momentarily

shed a sliver of the national spotlight on the Bearcats. The NCAA’s official Division II website has no shortage of articles discussing Northwest and their upcoming season.

The sports-world may not be familiar with Division II football, but they are at least aware of the existence of Northwest.

The Fall Classic is invaluable to UCM because it directs media attention to the football program from both those in attendance at Arrowhead for the next few weeks and from the abundance of media that follows Northwest Football. The advertisement at Arrowhead grants exposure to those who are unfamiliar with Division II, but are still loyal to the game of football and Kansas City sports, while the media covering Northwest presents the Mules to Division II’s most dedicated followers.

Both sources could potentially attract new students and athletes.

So in the event that the Fall Classic is simply a replication of last year’s 42-17 loss, rest assured that the commotion and excitement surrounding the game was not a waste of time. The Fall Classic is not a waste at all. It, instead, is an investment in both the Mules Football program and the university.
