Coleman hearing is today By TONY BROWN News editor
A spokesman for Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney Jean Peters Baker, who was named in October as the special prosecutor in the Daisy Coleman sexual assault case, has announced that Baker will be at the Nodaway County Courthouse today for a hearing before associate Circuit Judge Glen Dietrich.
Daisy Coleman
No other details were released except that the hearing is to begin at 1:30 p.m., and that a press conference is expected to follow.
Coleman is at the center of a case that garnered national media attention two years after she and another minor were allegedly raped at a party in Maryville attended by a number of local high school students. Coleman was 14 at the time, and the other alleged victim was 13. Two 17-year-old boys were charged as adults after Coleman was allegedly abandoned outside her Maryville home in freezing temperatures after the party ended during the early morning hours. After the Coleman family left Maryville and moved to Albany, the house where they lived was destroyed by fire. No cause was ever determined. Charges against the two teenaged boys were subsequently dropped by Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice, who cited a lack of cooperation by Coleman and her mother. Both the mother, Melinda Coleman, and her daughter have vigorously denied Rice’s assertion. Investigative reports by a See COLEMAN, Page 3

Josh McKim took over Jan. 6 as the new director of Nodaway County Economic Development. In an interview with the Daily Forum this week, he said his top priorities include finding a tenant for the now-vacant Energizer battery plant and exploiting the recruiting advantages provided by the presence in Maryville of a state university.
McKim takes over as NCED chief By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
After spending time away from his hometown, Maryville native Josh McKim has returned to Maryville as director of Nodaway County Economic Development. McKim, who graduated from Maryville High School in 1996 and from Northwest Missouri State University in 2000, and holds a master’s degree in economics from Oklahoma State University. His resume includes earlier stops in Gary County, Kan., and Stillwater, Okla., where he held professional positions in both the public and private sector. “This job came open and I had been thinking of getting back into economic development,” McKim said. “I thought, ‘Wow, maybe I could make a difference in my hometown and my home county. That would be so cool.’ So I jumped at the opportunity to come back and help out.” Though only on the job for a few days, McKim already has a long list of goals in terms of business recruitment and job creation. But finding a new corporate tenant for the nowempty Energizer battery plant stands at that top of the list. “The Energizer building is a big priority for us,” McKim said. “We are going to be working very hard to reach out to different site selectors as well as corporate real estate executives to push that building and see if we can get that filled in the near future.”
Late last year, the Maryville City Council appropriated an extra $10,000 to NCED above its usual contribution, money that is specifically earmarked for attracting a new occupant at the 480,000 square-foot manufacturing complex, located at 3131 E. First. “(The building) has to be at the top of our minds,” McKim said. “But, we also need to look at it as an opportunity to move in a new direction and how we can get ourselves into a position to do that.”
‘I’m a firm believer that the economic engines of the future are going to be universities that are actively engaged in the market.’ — Josh McKim Another goal for McKim is developing stronger relationships between NCED and the county’s existing businesses. “I’m a firm believer that any good economic development organization is first and foremost about supporting our local businesses that are already here,” McKim said. “That is a top priority for me.” McKim is hoping he will be able to meet with most, if not all, of the area’s business owners and executives over the next few weeks to offer his support and talk about NCED’s role in
promoting opportunities for growth. Retail development is another item on McKim’s list, along with strategies designed to encourage local residents to shop at home rather than traveling to St. Joseph or Kansas City. Over the years, a number of companies have considered moving to Maryville before going elsewhere. McKim said he believes it’s time to revisit those firms to see if they might be ready to change their minds. “We will be going back over the last five years and looking at companies that have looked at our community and for some reason said no and reaching back out to them,” McKim said. “That has been a way in the past that I have filled a big building.” The keys, he said, are always to keep the channels of communication open between NCED and companies that show a potential for recruitment. McKim added that this area has one huge advantage over competing markets in the region — Northwest Missouri State University. “I’m a firm believer that the economic engines of the future are going to be universities that are actively engaged in the market,” McKim said. “Northwest seems to have a real vision and focus to be actively engaged. That’s a great thing for Maryville and says a lot for the potential for Maryville and Nodaway County. The university is probably our number one competitive advantage.” McKim has relocated to Maryville and lives with his wife, Angie, and the couple’s three children: Grace, 10; Claire, 7; and Jonah, 5.
Hunters voice worries over diminished deer herd By BRENT FRAZEE AP Panorama
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Is there trouble in paradise? Missouri deer hunters certainly think so. They remember days
when they could pick and choose the deer they wanted to shoot. Now, they’re lucky just to see deer. Any deer, let alone a big buck. A severe outbreak of hemorrhagic disease during the summer of 2012 hit
hard — harder than even the Missouri Department of Conservation first thought. That, combined with the long-term effects of liberalized hunting regulations that allow hunters to take unlimited does in many counties,

Deer herd diminishing early youth, statewide firearms, antlerless and alternative methods — is down from last year. • In some parts of the state, particularly the northwest, west-central, central and northeast regions, the downward trend is part of an overall cycle that has seen deer numbers decline in recent years. The drop in harvest totals was especially surprising because it came on the heels of the 2012-2013 season, when they shot more than 300,000 deer in all seasons combined, one of the highest totals in history. Jason Sumners, a wildlife biologist for the Department of Conservation, acknowledges deer numbers are down, especially in light of hunters’ reports. But he sees no reason to panic. “We knew that some parts of the state were hit hard by EHD (epizootic hemorrhagic disease),” Sumners said. “But it’s always hard to gauge the overall impacts of disease until the hunting seasons start. “I have to admit, the breadth of the losses ex-
Continued from Page 1 tacted the Department of Conservation to voice their concerns. They’re worried. After years of being spoiled, they got a slap of reality during the 2013-14 season. “The Department of Conservation blamed the warm, windy weather for the low harvest on opening weekend,” said Dan Galetti, a hunter and taxidermist from Kansas City. “But I’ve been a taxidermist for 25 years, and I can remember other openers under the same conditions where a lot of deer were brought in. “I just don’t think the deer are there. Even in my taxidermy business, I’m down 60 percent in the number of deer brought in this season.” The harvest totals back the hunters up. • Hunters shot only 157,272 deer in the 11-day statewide firearms season in November, a whopping 47,396 less than were shot in the 2012 season. That was the lowest total for a regular firearms season since 1993. • The kill in each of the segments of the deer season concluded so far — urban,
Two men listed as missing last week have been found, a Maryville Department of Public Safety officer announced Wednesday. Detective Ryan Glidden said in an email that Virgil David Ivey, 26, and Timothy Allen Clayton, 24, “have been located and are safe.” The pair were reported missing by friends and family after reportedly leaving Maryville around midnight on New Year’s Eve en route to either St. Joseph of Kansas City. Glidden said officers made contact with both men “in the jurisdiction where they are located” and verified that they were unharmed. “Maryville DPS would like to thank everybody who assisted us in finding them,” Glidden wrote. No other details were released.
Local students make honors lists
Three area college students were recently named to fall semester honors lists. Earning academic distinction at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg were Megan E. Shell and Paden J. Maudlin, each of whom posted a 4.0 grade-point average on a four-point scale. Named to UCM’s 3.5-3.99 honors list were Kody W. Clevenger and Tyler L. Davis. All of the student are from Maryville except Davis, whose permanent address is in Ravenwood. Named to the Dean’s List at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, was Alfred Macali, Maryville. The list recognizes students with a GPA between 3.25 and 3.64.
Panel disburses senior tax revenue

BBBS adds case manager Continued from Page 1 experience.” Program Director Lynette Harbin is equally excited about Wayman’s joining what was previously a onestaff-member operation. “I’m super excited to have Shelby on board,” Harbin said. “First of all, her hiring indicates that the program has grown to the point that one person can no longer handle it. In addition, this frees me up to do the public relations work necessary to ensure the longevity and continued growth of the pro-
gram.” Spring is the busiest time for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Nodaway County. The organization’s largest fundraiser, “Bowl For Kid’s Sake” will take place April 4 at Bearcat Lanes in Maryville. “With Shelby having just graduated from college, she should relate well with our volunteers, as over 40 percent of them are college students,” Harbin said.

Kansas City public radio station and the Kansas City Star nearly nearly two years later thrust the episode into the national spotlight. Baker, named the Victim Advocate of the Year by the Jackson County prosecutor’s office in 2005, has served as a courtappointed special advocate. She has also been associated with the Metropolitan Or-
ganization to Counter Sexual Assault. In 2012, Baker prosecuted the Rev. Robert Finn, Roman Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph, on charges of failing to notify authorities about allegations of child sexual abuse. Finn was found guilty, thus becoming the first and only U.S. bishop to be convicted of the misdemeanor crime of failure to report a priest suspected of sexually molesting a minor.

ceeded what we were anticipating.” But Sumners pointed out that Missouri still has a sizable deer herd, even in its reduced state. Some hunters are pointing fingers at the Department of Conservation, saying management practices have played a part in the deer’s decline. They are especially critical of liberal hunting regulations that have encouraged the harvest of does. Maybe that was OK when Missouri’s population was robust and even too large in places, causing problems on the roads and in farm fields. But the Department of Conservation went too far, hunters such as Monteleone say. “The big thing is that we didn’t have the safety net when EHD hit two years in a row,” Monteleone said. “We had been pounding these does so hard, we just didn’t have the breeding stock that we once did. “If we get hit by another drought and another bad outbreak of EHD this summer, I’d hate to see where we would be.”

New ag director should aid area
Missouri’s new director of agriculture promises good leadership for the state’s leading industry. Bethany’s own Richard Fordyce recently was appointed to the position by Gov. Jay Nixon. Mr. Fordyce’s strong northwest Missouri roots will be an asset for our region. Mr. Fordyce already has demonstrated his commitment to making the area better, serving on the boards for University of Missouri Extension, the Northwest Missouri State Fair and the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, as well as mentoring youth through FFA. His participation on the state’s Soil and Water Districts Commission shows he values our natural resources. Even more important is that Missouri farmers — in the northwest part of the state, and statewide — can be assured Mr. Fordyce will understand their needs and concerns. This is because he is one of them. Beyond being a landowner and manager, Mr. Fordyce is a hands-on farmer who has experienced the pride in a job well done and the frustrations of markets and weather beyond the grower’s control. Mr. Fordyce will have plenty of opportunity to prove his merit at the Department of Agriculture. Former director Jon Hagler left under a cloud of controversy, including allegations of a hostile work environment and employment of inexperienced aides. The new director will do well to surround himself with capable advisors and managers. Finally, Mr. Fordyce brings experience in the state’s powerful commodity organizations, having served in the past on the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council and National Biodiesel Board. An in-depth understanding of these industries is an asset. Agriculture, even within the borders of Missouri, is a wonderfully complex business. Mr. Fordyce faces a steep learning curve to become familiar with all its facets that touch not only on commerce, but also on values and social issues woven deeply into the fabric of our state. We wish our new agriculture director the best of success. A lot is riding on his leadership.

Exploitation in any form is something we will avoid ‘Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? You know, the boys in the newsroom got a Running bet Get the widow on the set! We need dirty laundry . . . Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em all around . . . ‘We can do “The Innuendo” We can dance and sing When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing We all know that crap is king Give us dirty laundry!’ — Don Henley These lyrics, as fellow 80’s generation readers will remember, are from former Eagles singer Don Henley’s first solo hit ‘Dirty Laundry.’ That song was released in 1982. The only thing that seems to have changed since that time is the proliferation of social media, and in turn the increase in the demand for a 24-hour news cycle. The dark side of human nature apparently still likes to ‘kick ‘em when they’re down.’ Since we took over this publication a month ago, nearly every day, someone has posted on our Facebook page or emailed my inbox demanding that we do an update on the Daisy Coleman case. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, in yesterday’s publication we had reason to do so. Up until then, following Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice’s request for a special prosecutor and the naming of Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker as such, there was nothing new to report. The
Maryville Daily Forum, unlike many larger news organizations (I use that term loosely) who are more interested in ratings and Internet statistics, is not in the business of sensationalism. To fan the flames of what became an international media firestorm would be at best irresponsible. There is nothing of real value to be gained by anyone when capitalizing on the misfortune of alleged victims and alleged perpetrators alike. I believe that Miss Coleman is no more aware of what is happening to her now than she was the night of the alleged incident in question. She is still a child and remains reliant on the adults in her life to make Phil Cobb the best choices for her. I Owner/Publisher feel like those who claim to have her best interest at heart should consider the best possible course for her present and her future, while putting their own selfish agendas aside. If the alleged crime was indeed committed against Miss Coleman it can never be erased, but I am confident that justice is going to be carried out. But what about the emotional, psycological and indeed physical damage inflicted from every direction since then? Yesterday, the Forum was informed of a hearing which was scheduled to take place this afternoon at the Nodaway County Courthouse. A press conference was scheduled to follow, the information from which will appear in this publication. I pray that an end can be put to this situation for the good of all parties involved. I pray that the time to begin the healing process is near.

Eddard Stark wasn’t kidding about winter’s being on the way
Eddard Stark did say Winter was coming. He wasn’t kidding. For those of you who haven’t read or seen “Game of Thrones,” Eddard “Ned” Stark is a character in the series who is played masterfully in the HBO series by the wonderful Sean Bean. Just wanted to clear that up. When I watched the first season of “Game of Thrones,” he could be heard saying, “winter is coming.” Man, was he right. Now I am one of those crazy people in the world who feels more at ease in the winter blizzard than I do in the dreaded heat of summer. Yes, I know, I am crazy. Why else would I leave the heated State of Texas to move to Missouri? Well, besides coming to a town that felt a bit like coming home. Whatever the case, I have always had this affinity for snow. Maybe this could be tracked to my snow days while attending high school in Crowley, Tex. Or it could be traced to the first time I rode on the back of a snowmobile and experienced the wonder of the season. I just love snow and the peacefulss that comes with it. Because, you know, not everyone likes to go out into the snow. This makes for a very peaceful time in the neighborhood. Not that I don’t want to see kids out playing or people out working in their gardens. That isn’t the case. Sometimes I just like to feel like I
have the world to myself. An early morning after a nice snowstorm affords me that. And it is glorious. Plus it always means Christmas to me, and I love the Christmas season. It just doesn’t seem like the Holiday season without a nice, crisp blanket of white snow.
Gary Darling Man, that is the best. Now those of you out there suffering from broken pipes, et al, feel your pain. Nothing is worse than going down to the basement and realizing you are going to need a boat to get to your washer/dryer. Been there a time or two, too, and I completely understand why you would hate the bitter cold of sub-zero weather.
I do too. Mainly because of pipebursting and snow not sticking for snowman building. Also, I really don’t like to see people having to suffer through conditions like that. With winter, though, I get a chance to share some of my experiences as a kid in South Dakota with my children. Last year was the first time that my boys had a chance to sled. Remember what it was like to sled when you were little. Although some roads in town can get slick enough to afford you some of the same experiences. So, yes, I am one of those crazy winter-loving people. When summer comes around, you can point out to me how much you love the summer. Me, I will sit and pine away for the cool blast of a blistery winter breeze. Because, much like Stark warned us, inevitably winter will be coming again. –––––– As far as our Chiefs and my Eagles go, I can’t help but be disappointed in the outcome. Both teams were so close to making it to the next round of the playoffs. The Chiefs result could be considered a bit more bitter, but both ended the same. So it is the end of the NFL season for us. But, it wasn’t all bad. Two teams coming from six total wins to playoff contention isn’t much to complain about.

Cowboys at the Capitol

Missouri Cattlemen’s Association establishes 2014 policy priorities The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association (MCA), which is a grassroots organization focused on preserving and growing the beef industry within the state, established policy priorities for 2014. The policies were established last week when roughly 600 cattlemen and cattlewomen gathered at the Lake of the Ozarks in Osage Beach, Mo., for the association’s annual convention and trade show. The organization’s top policy priority does not need any action from the legislature, but will demand widespread education throughout the state. “The Farming Rights Amendment passed out of the legislature last year and
its fate will ultimately depend on the voters of Missouri. The amendment will forever guarantee the right of Missourians to farm and ranch in this state,” said Chuck Massengill, MCA Past President. “This is a proactive step to protect Missouri’s farm and ranch families from out-of-state animal rights extremists. It also ensures consumer choice by protecting our food chain.” The association will pursue increasing the hauling limits in Missouri from 80,000 pounds to 85,500 pounds throughout the entire state. The increase would bring Missouri in line with several bordering states. MCA contends that
increasing the hauling limits will save dollars and will increase the safety of both livestock and truck drivers. MCA members are also eyeing issues that involve property rights. They plan to work with county commissioners to take a closer look at the fencing laws in the state. Missouri currently has two fence laws; the general fence law and the local option fence law. Mike Deering, MCA Executive Vice President said the local option fence law increases livestock owners’ rights. Nearly 20 counties opted out of the general fence law and have adopted the local option. Deering said MCA plans to work with individual counties to
encourage adopting the local fence law. Also regarding property rights is the issue of liability. Currently under Missouri law, liability for certain things on equine operations are waived. MCA will be leading an effort to expand this protection for the entire livestock industry. Along with these issues, Deering said a focus on minimizing the impact of property taxes on farmers and ranchers will be a priority. He said MCA will continue to work with state officials to revamp the current Trichomoniasis rule and to ensure a smooth process in enforcing the federal Animal Disease Traceability program.
PRINCETON, Mo. — Murphy-Brown of Missouri (MBM) and Roeslein Alternative Energy on Wednesday formally announced a join plan to develop a $100 million renewable biogas project in northern Missouri. Murphy-Brown is the livestock production subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, Inc. Bought by the Chinese group Shuanghui in 2013, Smithfield is the largest pork producer and processor in the United States. It also has operations in Mexico and ten European countries and reports annual revenues of about $13 billion. Murphy-Brown provides jobs to about 1,100 people in north central Missouri. The Missouri project will use animal waste to produce alternative fuel for regional distribution. So-called biogas is created when organic matter decomposes without oxygen present. The gas for the project is to be harvested from MBM finishing farms in northern Missouri using anaerobic digestion technology developed and installed by Roeslein Alternative Energy. Roeslein has engaged investment banking firm Stern Brothers & Co. to underwrite financing. The Missouri Clean Energy

Teleconference education now available for swine producers By JASON VANCE MU Extension
Swine producers can listen to industry experts present relevant and timely information through the distance education programs PorkBridge and SowBridge. The programs are a collaboration of nearly a dozen universities from across the country, said Marcia Shannon, a professor of animal science at the University of Missouri.
“We try to hit on hot topics in the swine industry that are relevant,” Shannon said. “Producers will gain valuable information to improve their operations.” PorkBridge is a series of six teleconferences throughout the year that focus on issues for grow-finish swine operations. SowBridge consists of 12 monthly teleconferences that focus on issues dealing with sows. Before each conference,
participants receive a CD containing a PowerPoint presentation and other files on the conference topic. Subscribers call a toll-free number to join the teleconference. A subscription to PorkBridge is $125 and SowBridge is $250 for the 2014-15 program year. A telephone and a computer with a CD drive are required to participate in the program. Internet access is not
required. “It’s very economical,” Shannon said. “There is no travel required and you can learn about topics that are important in the swine industry.” Participants should register by Jan. 15 to guarantee receiving materials for the first teleconferences, which will be held the first week of February. To register for PorkBridge or SowBridge, call 515-294-4496.

District’s PACE program is being reviewed as a financing option, according to an MBM release. Construction is scheduled to begin this spring. “This is an important sustainability project for Murphy-Brown of Missouri,” said MBM General Manager Michael Rainwater. “Not only does it demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the environment and to our neighbors, but it also allows us to make facility upgrades that are good for our employees, our animals and the continuous improvement of our business in northern Missouri.” Company officials said barn scraper technology will be used to deliver raw livestock waste nutrients to lagoons capped with impermeable synthetic covers. The resulting gas will be harvested from the lagoons and sold. “Environmental benefits from this project will be significant,” said Roeslein President Rudi Roeslein. “Utilizing proven anaerobic digestion technology, we expect to achieve reduced greenhouse gas emissions, shrink MBM’s carbon footprint, eliminate rainfall effects on treatment systems, all while capturing a valuable and renewable biogas energy resource.”
Monsanto reported “better-than-expected” first quarter earnings Wednesday on higher sales of the company’s insect-repelling and herbicide-resistant soybean seeds in Latin America. Despite an 8.6 percent increase in profit the company left its full-year fiscal guidance unchanged, sending shares slightly lower in premarket trading. The company reiterated previous expectations of earnings between $5 and $5.20 per share for fiscal 2014. Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of $5.25 for the year. Its shares slipped 39 cents to $112.85 in premarket trading. The St. Louis-based company said it earned $368 million, or 69 cents per share in the three months ended Nov. 30. That compares to earnings of $339 million, or 63 cents per share, in last year’s quarter. Revenue climbed 7 percent to $3.1 billion, driven by sales of its Intacta soy-
bean seeds to farmers in Argentina and Brazil. The biotech engineered soybean, which is the company’s first product designed for a non-U.S. market, repels caterpillars and withstands Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup. Soybean sales grew 16 percent to $267 million for the quarter. The company’s performance beat the average estimate of analysts polled by FactSet, who expected earnings of 64 cents per share on sales of $3.069 billion in revenue for the quarter. ‘ Monsanto, which has dominated the bioengineered-seed business for more than a decade, expects earnings growth in the “mid-to-high-teens” for fiscal 2014, based largely on international seed sales in Latin America, Asia and other emerging markets. The company’s biotech seeds have genetically engineered traits that the company says benefit farmers enough that they come out ahead, despite the seeds’ higher cost.

‘Right to work’ sets tone for session JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers opened their annual session Wednesday with a renewed vow to enact income tax cuts and a stronger — though still shaky — drive to pare back union powers by ending their mandatory fees. The legislative session that runs through May 16 also will include an emphasis on education, including whether — and how — to revise a law that has placed additional financial strain on unaccredited school districts by requiring them to

pay the costs of students who choose to transfer elsewhere. Republicans outnumber Democrats 108-52 in the House and 24-9 in the Senate with a total of four vacancies in the chambers. That means the GOP should be able to push through its agenda. But Republicans will still need to work with Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, because they are one vote shy of the two-thirds majority needed to override vetoes in the House. Shortly before gaveling in the 2014 session, Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder
and House Speaker Tim Jones led a rally of about 100 activists in support of a proposed “right to work” law that would prohibit union fees from being a condition of employment. Kinder called it a “moral cause” made more pressing by the recent adoption of a similar law in union-heavy Michigan. Jones linked labor and tax policies together as two essential prongs to improving Missouri’s business environment. “Companies large and small are relocating to states with lower tax burdens,
less regulations and where worker freedom and choice reigns,” Jones, R-Eureka, said in an opening day speech to colleagues. Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey doesn’t share the same enthusiasm for a right-to-work bill and made no commitment to force it to a vote in a chamber where Democrats and a few Republicans have in the past threatened to filibuster it. Nixon has pledged to veto the legislation, but lawmakers could bypass him by referring the measure to the November ballot. See LEGISLATURE, Page 12
STATE NEWS BRIEFS State’s Truman sites remain open
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Despite trouble on the federal level, Missouri-operated park sites devoted to former President Harry Truman are alive and well. Budget cuts in Washington have forced the closure of federally-operated Truman sites, such as the Truman Farm Home in Grandview south of Kansas City. But the state of Missouri said this week that its Truman-related parks are open. They include the Truman Birthplace in Lamar, which allows visitors to view the small house where Truman was born. Also open is Truman State Park in Warsaw, located on Truman Lake.
GOP leaders rally for ‘right to work’
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Republican leaders hoping to restrict union powers led a rally with about 100 people as Missouri legislators returned to the Capitol. Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder and House Speaker Tim Jones are pushing a measure that would make Missouri a “right to work” state, where union fees cannot be a condition of employment. Kinder and Jones joined other Republican lawmakers and conservative activists at a Capitol rally Wednesday just a couple of hours before the scheduled start of the session. Republican leaders in the Senate don’t share his enthusiasm. And Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon has said he would veto the bill.

Bulldogs sweep Jefferson STAFF REPORT
Maryville Daily Forum
Before traveling to Stanberry for the Stanberry Tournament next week, the Jefferson Eagles went to Stanberry Tuesday night to take on the Bulldogs. The girls game tipped first and it stayed close early. The low-scoring first half found Jefferson behind 1514 at halftime. The Lady Eagles grabbed the lead after the third quarter 25-22, however, the fourth quarter was a different story. Stanberry out-scored Jefferson 21-10 in the fourth quarter, sending Jefferson to a 43-36 defeat. With the loss the Lady Eagles drop to 4-6 on the season. Freshmen Sarah Chor and Kelsi McQuinn lead the Lady Eagles in scoring with eight points apiece. Sophomore Jessie Henry added seven points of her own. The Jefferson boys didn’t fare much better. Only scoring three points in the second quarter left the Eagles behind 24-13 at the half. They pulled to within four at the end of the third quarter, but, just like in the girls game, the Bulldogs had a big fourth quarter to put the game away. The Eagles were out-scored 23-11 in the fourth quarter and dropped the game 58-42. The Eagles fell to 8-2 on the season with the loss. Seniors Alex Holtman and Kyler Farnan led the way for the Eagles with eight points each. Freshman Caden Farnan added six points, as well. Jefferson will host St. Joseph Christian at 6 p.m. Friday in a boys and girls double-header.
Bluejays come away with a pair of big wins over Worth County STAFF REPORT
Maryville Daily Forum
Both Northeast Nodaway teams looked to pick up big wins on Tuesday night following their cancelled games on Monday. The Lady Jays were able to come away with a victory over the Worth County Tigers 49-40. With the victory, the Lady Jays improved to 7-4 on the season. The Bluejays’ boys team was able to follow suit and pick up a big win as well. They came away with a 6136 win. That’s the second victory on the year for the Jays, as they improved to 2-7. Both teams will travel to Stewartsville for their next games with the girls tipping off first at 6 p.m. Friday night.
Northwest Missouri’s seven high schools have produced a long list of outstanding basketball players over the years, and as we witness the senior year of Nodaway-Holt standout guard Megan Rosenbohm, we can certainly update that list. Rosenbohm, who has been an all-conference, all-district and all-state selection during the first three years of her career, seems a sure bet to add a fourth year of all three honors to her resume, as she continues to lead the Lady Trojans, currently 10-0 after an 81-77 overtime victory over North Andrew, toward their ultimate team goal, a Final Four appearance in the Missouri Class 1 girls state basketball tournament. Parents Mike and Marsha Rosenbohm used to take Megan to older brother Marc’s elementary basketball tournaments, and Megan felt it was the thing to do to follow in her older brother’s footsteps. “I remember going to Marc’s fourth grade basketball games and tournaments and I thought then that I would do the same thing when I got to fourth grade,” Rosenbohm said. From that early start, Rosenbohm’s love for the game and work ethic drove her to become the outstanding player she is today. “She has worked extremely hard to become the player she is today,” said coach David Carroll, who has had the pleasure of coaching Rosenbohm’s throughout her high school career. While the 2,000-plus points Megan has
scored during her high school career grabs the attention of many fans, she prides herself on something besides her unquestioned scoring ability, something that would make any coach smile. “Be an unselfish team player,” she said. “Do things that make your teammates better and your team better.” A great illustration of her belief in this philosophy is the fact that during the game Rosenbohm scored her 2,000th point, she also reached double figures in rebounds, assists and steals, and with seven blocked shots, coming up only three blocks short of the virtually unheard-of “quintuple-double.” “She makes me a good coach and her teammates better players,” Carroll said. The factors that drew Rosenbohm to the game back in elementary school are still the things she enjoys most about playing today. “The things I enjoy most about basketball are the competitiveness and the overall fun you have with teammates,” Rosenbohm said. In case you were wondering, there’s more to this young lady than just playing basketball. She’s active in Future Farmers of America, Future Business Leaders of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National Honor Society and enjoys trap shooting in her spare time. And she somehow still finds time to run track in the spring. Last year, she finished second in the long jump by one-fourth of an inch and fourth in the triple jump at the state meet. As a sophomore she also took second in the triple jump and as a freshman medaled in three See ROSENBOHM, Page 8
2014 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
Lady Rockets getting better every day By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Editor’s note: The Daily Forum will be previewing every team in Nodaway County as the 2014 portion of the season gets underway. This is another installment in the series, which will be published over the next several weeks. Youth will be served, and in the case of the West Nodaway Lady Rockets basketball squad, there will be growing pains as this group gains varsity experience. Last season’s squad finished the season with an overall record of 2-20, including an 0-7 275 Conference mark, so as rebuilding continues, many underclassmen are gaining valuable experience. This season’s squad finished the 2013 portion of their schedule with an 0-8 mark. While seniors Emily Cordell and Cheyann Marrison and juniors Melody McGinness and Alyson Dye lead the squad, a group of five freshmen are gaining valuable experience by playing significant varsity minutes. This group of freshmen includes: Cheyenne Herzberg, Shanaya Dolin, Paige Hagey, Kristine Ecker and Hailey Hull. Cordell and Dye both turned in strong performances versus Northeast Nodaway during December’s Northwest Missouri Tournament. Cordell scored 10 points and grabbed seven rebounds while Dye added eight points and six rebounds, despite limited minutes due to foul trouble. “We want to get better every day,” Lady Rockets head coach Toshia Jones said. With the experience being gained by underclassmen, especially the freshmen, this goal looks to be highly attainable for the Lady Rockets. West Nodaway kicks off the 2014 portion of its schedule Friday night at South Holt after Monday night’s contest against South Page (Iowa) was postponed.

2014 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
Rockets ready to launch By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Editor’s note: The Daily Forum will be previewing every team in Nodaway County as the 2014 portion of the season gets underway. This is another installment in the series, which will be published over the next several weeks. Looking to improve on last season’s 1412 record, the West Nodaway boys basketball squad finished 2013 with a 5-4 overall mark, which includes third place finishes at both the Mound City and Northwest Missouri tournaments. Head coach Roger Johnson and assistant Alan Calfee welcomed back 13 players from the 2012-13 squad, including seniors Jonathon Madere, Zack Harris and Billy Knarr, juniors Trevor Meyer, Ryan Evans and Chase Barnett and sophomores Jakob Cordell, Jaden Gillenwater, Blake Farnan, Justin Chitwood, Josh McGinness, Bryson Smith and Damon Hull. Gillenwater leads the Rockets in scoring so far this season, averaging 14.5 points
per game. Meyer has pitched in with 12 points and four assists per game, while Madere has been the primary “glass cleaner” for the Rockets, averaging 11 rebounds per game. “Our preseason goals were to improve on last year’s finish and compete for conference and district titles,” Johnson said. “To do this, we will have to continue to improve our offensive execution in half court sets and continue to play tough defensively.” Johnson sees Rock Port and Mound City providing the strongest competition for 275 Conference top honors, and says that while his squad has improved, there are still areas to improve to reach its desired goals. We have improved but need to develop greater consistency as we look to contend at the end of the year,” Johnson said. With last night’s games at South Page (Iowa) postponed due to weather, the Rockets begin the 2014 portion of their schedule Friday night in Oregon, Mo., as they take on South Holt in 275 Conference action.

Maddux, Glavine, Thomas elected to Hall of Fame By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas were elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Wednesday, while Craig Biggio fell two votes short and stars of the “Steroids Era” remained far behind. Maddux was picked on 555 of 571 ballots by senior members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. His 97.2 percentage was the eighth-highest in history. Glavine, Maddux’s longtime teammate in the Atlanta rotation, appeared on 525 ballots and received 91.9-percent. Thomas, the first Hall of Famer who spent the majority of his career as a designated hitter, was at 483.
The trio will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27 along with managers Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, elected last month. Maddux and Glavine played under Cox for most of their careers. “It’s exciting for me to go in with my teammate,” Maddux said. Writers had not elected three players in one vote since Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount in 1999. Biggio received 427 votes and 74.8-percent, matching Nellie Fox in 1985 and Pie Traynor in 1947 for the smallest margin to fall short. Biggio appeared on 388 ballots in his initial appearance last year and appears on track to gain election next year.
Mike Piazza was next was 62.2-percent followed by Jack Morris, who was 78 votes short at 61.5-percent in his 15th and final appearance on the writers’ ballot. Controversy over how to evaluate stars tainted by the “Steroids Era” continued to impact the vote totals of players with stellar statistics. In their second appearances on the ballot, Roger Clemens dropped to 35.4, Barry Bonds to 34.7 and Sammy Sosa to 7.2. Appearing for the eighth time, Mark McGwire fell to 11. Rafael Palmeiro will be dropped from future ballots after falling to 25 votes and 4.4 percent — below the five-percent threshold necessary to remain eligible next year. Eighth on the wins list with a 355-227 record and a 3.16
ROSENBOHM
ERA over 23 seasons, Maddux won four consecutive Cy Young Awards and a record 18 Gold Gloves with four teams. An eighttime All-Star, he won at least 13 games in 20 straight seasons. Glavine, a 10-time All-Star and a two-time Cy Young winner, was 305-203 over 22 seasons. A two-time AL MVP, Thomas hit .301 with 521 homers and 1,704 RBIs in 19 seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Toronto and Oakland. “This has been a stressful 48 hours,” Thomas said in a statement. “This is something that I will have to sit back in the next three or four days and figure it out because you can only dream so big, as this is as big as it gets for me.”

After graduation, Rosenbohm is planning to continue her academic and basketball careers at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar on a basketball scholarship. “I thought they had great facilities and good coaches,” she said. “Plus, one of my summer AAU basketball teammates is going there, as well.” Rosenbohm plans to major in Business Management, but before all of that comes about, she has some additional high school goals she wants to accomplish with her teammates. “I want our team to make it to the Final Four and put some more banners up in the gym,” Rosenbohm said.

Still of Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck in Runner Runner (2013)
Timberlake and Affleck headline predictable film Runner Runner By Gary Darling Staff Writer
Justin Timberlake just seems to be everywhere nowadays. From Saturday Night Live, performing on tour, appearing on the Jimmy Fallon show, and starring in feature films, Timberlake has exploded into a multi-dimensional professional. Place him in a film with the talented Ben Affleck and you have the makings of something special. Or do you? Now, upon viewing the very low rating on the Tomatometer at www. rottentomatoes.com, this one had all the telltale signs of being a stinker. But, like in the past, the overall 3.7-of -5 rating by the “every day” viewer made me think that maybe the critics got it wrong. They do that every now and then. Well, to be completely honest, for once the critics were right. This film was a stinker and the cast was completely wasted playing very cliche characters in a cliche-filled film.
Richie Furst (Justin Timberlake) had a very lucrative career on Wall Street. Unfortunately for him, things didn’t go as planned on that career path. So he turns to Princeton to get his master’s degree and, hopefully, rebound from his fall from the top of the world. The problem with this career plan is that you usually can’t fund it by referring students to online gambling. And when a student maxes out his father’s credit card, Furst is thrown to the wolves and the dean threatens to expel him for his activities. So Richie, not wanting to be kicked out, tries to win his tuition through the games he has been referring students to. And he has a plan. He will take all of his earnings and use his experience and considerable skill to make enough money to just focus on school. Then he loses it all. Dumb-founded, Richie finds out that he was duped by a cheater, something that he can prove with statistics.
Armed with his proof and wanting to get his money back, he heads to Costa Rica to confront Ivan Block (Ben Affleck), the owner of the online gaming site that cheated hum. What he finds there will change his life forever. Try as they might, the actors could not save this film from becoming just a cookie-cutter clunker of the genre. It is almost like Hollywood is running out of ideas. Oh wait ... it is. Ben and Justin were good in their parts, but you could almost tell they were getting bored from the lack of a cohesive story line and dialogue. Another issue I had with this film: it just wasn’t very in-depth. There were so many times I wanted the story-tellers to expand upon a particular scene or relationship, but they didn’t. At 92 minutes of run time, the writers could have done just that. In conclusion, this film was dull and didn’t have enough plot to make it enjoyable. Instead, it turns into a cliche of itself and isn’t worth viewing. 1/5 stars.

Timberlake, Thicke have top-selling album, song NEW YORK (AP) — Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke owned 2013 in music. Nielsen Entertainment announced late Tuesday that Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience” was the top-selling album with 2.4 million units sold. Thicke’s ubiquitous “Blurred Lines” was the best-selling song with 6.4 million tracks sold. Albums sales were down. Only 289.4 million albums were sold in 2013, compared with 316 million a year before. Single tracks also saw a decrease, by 6 percent. Streaming, however, was up 32 percent with 118.1 million streams. The sales figures include data from YouTube, Spotify and other digital outlets. Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” topped the year with 489,674,000 streams. New releases from Eminem and Luke Bryan rounded out the top three albums. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” and Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” placed second and third on the singles list.
McQueen, Cuaron, Greengrass first-time DGA noms By JESSICA HERNDON AP Film Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Steve McQueen gained his first directors guild nomination on Tuesday for his grim historic saga “12 Years a Slave,” securing the British director’s place as a top contender for an Academy Award. Other first-time nominees were Alfonso Cuaron for his lost-inspace odyssey “Gravity,” and Paul Greengrass for his Somali pirate thriller “Captain Phillips.” Past nominee David O. Russell received a bid for his con-artist tale “American Hustle.” He was nominated in 2010 for his boxing drama “The Fighter.” Martin Scorsese earned his 11th nomination for his high-finance extravaganza, “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Scorsese won a Directors Guild of America award in 2006 for the crime tale “The Departed” and again in 2010 for his work on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire.” Scorsese was honored with the DGA lifetime achievement award in 2003. If McQueen wins this year for “12 Years a Slave,” he would become the first black director to earn the guild’s feature film accolade. “To be included in such an amazing group of filmmakers and also to be honored by my peers makes me feel very humble and proud,” he said in a statement.
John Singleton was the first black director to be nominated for the award for “Boyz n the Hood” in 1991, and Lee Daniels was nominated in 2009 for “Precious.” In 2013, the guild elected TV director Paris Barclay as its first African-American, openly gay president. Last month, McQueen was named best director by the New York Film Critics Circle for “12 Years a Slave.” The film has been nominated for four Screen Actors Guild awards and seven Golden Globes. “Gravity,” ‘’Captain Phillips” and “American Hustle” also received Globe and SAG bids. “The Wolf of Wall Street” made the Globe list. The winner of the DGA award usually goes on to win the directing statuette at the Oscars. Nominations for those awards will be announced on Jan. 16. In the 65-year history of the DGA awards, the winner has failed to also take home the best director Oscar only seven times. Ben Affleck won the guild award last year for his work on “Argo” but was denied a best director nomination at the Oscars. However, like many DGA winners, “Argo” went on to win the best-picture prize at the Oscars. Sunday’s Golden Globes will offer a better indicator of which film will lead the best picture cate-

Additional award shows will roll out in late January and February leading to Hollywood’s biggest night on March 2. Left off this year’s list by the directors guild were past nominees Lee Daniels for his civil rights,
White House servant story “Lee Daniels’ the Butler”; Alexander Payne for his small-town, fatherson road trip comedy “Nebraska”; and Spike Jonze for his futuristic digital romance “Her.” Also snubbed were past winners Woody Allen for his fallen
socialite tale “Blue Jasmine” and Joel and Ethan Coen for their folk scene-focused dark comedy “Inside Llewyn Davis.” Winners of the 66th annual awards will be announced at a dinner in Los Angeles on Jan. 25. Jane Lynch will host.

Here is my final deal that was on the International Bridge Press Association short list for last year’s awards. It features an excellent defense by Shivam Shah (East) and Alex
cial deals should be signed, sealed and delivered. Making plans to network with peers or to celebrate with someone you love will help boost your confidence and ego.

Get facts and figures before you proceed.
Roberts (West) for England against Poland at last year’s world youth championships in Taicang, China. How did the defense go against five diamonds? North opened with a Polish Club. It is usually bid with a balanced hand and 12-14 points, but it might be natural with five or more clubs and 12-17 points, or it could be any 18-plus pointer. After Shah’s threeheart pre-emptive overcall, South made a negative double. His four-diamond continuation was clearly forcing. At the other table, the English North-South pair reached five diamonds by North, which was unbeatable. After East led a high heart, North could have taken 12 tricks, but decided on safety first. Now back to Roberts’ lead problem. Many a West would be thinking it was lucky that the opponents stopped short of slam. His hand is dreadful and partner also announced weakness. Roberts, though, won-
dered if there might be a way to defeat the contract. Maybe partner had a club void. So, West’s opening lead was the club three. After Shah ruffed, the spotlight was on him. How could he get his partner on lead for a second club ruff? There seemed to be only two chances: the diamond ace or the heart queen. The first would still be available in a moment, but not the second. East shifted to the heart two. West won with his queen and gave his partner another ruff for down one. Terrific!

Legislature begins session focused on ‘Right to Work’ Continued from Page 1 Last year, Republicans were unable to override Nixon’s veto of an income tax cut bill that would have shaved off hundreds of millions of dollars in state revenues annually. They plan to try again this year, but may pursue a pared back version that costs less and is more
narrowly tailored for businesses. “There will have to be some compromise,” acknowledged Dempsey, R-St. Charles. House and Senate Democrats said they, too, could support tax-cut legislation under the right circumstances. “Democrats aren’t op-
posed to tax cuts,” said Senate Minority Leader Jolie Justus, D-Kansas City. “We like the idea of tax reform. It’s just a matter of who is getting those cuts.” Dempsey’s top priority is a revision of a 1993 state law upheld by the state Supreme Court last year that requires unaccredited districts to pay for students who transfer to
Five things you should know 1. Formalities — After the House and Senate convened, lawmakers spent Day 1 with formalities. House Speaker Tim Jones outlined priorities for the session to fellow legislators while Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey began the introduction of new legislation. 2. Money and schools — The Republicanled Legislature plans to try again at enacting an income tax. Disagreement also has arisen about how much money is available for the state budget taking effect July 1. Nixon already has said his budget will include tens of millions of dollars focused on higher education. Dempsey has made addressing a student transfer law for unaccredited districts a key priority. 3. The calendar — Legislative hearings are to begin next week. Nixon is to release his budget recommendations and deliver his State of the State speech on Jan. 21.
The next benchmark is a weeklong break in March that has marked the session’s traditional halfway point. After spring break will come crunch time and deadlines: May 9 for passage of a state budget and May 16 to pass legislation. 4. Partisan imbalance — Republicans hold majorities in the Senate and House but no longer can count upon a veto-proof supermajority in the House. House Republicans hold a 108-52 majority. The GOP controls the state Senate by a veto-proof 24-9 margin. 5. Politics — Many lawmakers will be able to kick off their next political campaigns during the legislative session. Candidacy filling runs Feb. 25 to March 25. Three senators and 10 House members cannot seek re-election to their current seats, including Rep. Mike Thomson and Sen. Brad Lager of Nodaway County.
nearby accredited districts. More than 2,000 students already have transferred out of the unaccredited Normandy and Riverview Garden districts in suburban St. Louis. The transfer law also could affect Kansas City. “Logistically, it’s a nightmare that is only going to get worse and could have the potential to bankrupt several school districts if we don’t act on it by May,” Dempsey said. Jones said he’s willing to consider ways of making the student transfer law more efficient. “But I want
to make sure we protect the students’ choice” to leave failing districts, he added. Republican legislative leaders said they also will attempt to reinstate limits on how much money people can be awarded for non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, after the state Supreme Court struck down Missouri’s caps in 2012. Other Republican efforts will attempt to fortify gun rights and further restrict abortion providers. While lawmakers gathered at the Capitol, Nixon traveled to Springfield to
announce his support for the continuation of — and nearly $24 million for — a program providing prescription drug coverage to lowincome seniors and the disabled. Nixon and other Democrats also want to expand Medicaid eligibility for lower-income adults, though many Republicans remain opposed to that. House Democrats said they also support raising Missouri’s minimum wage — another proposal that doesn’t appear to have much traction with Republicans.
