Engineer inspects historic Elks Lodge By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff Writer
KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM
Building gets checked out
Engineers from Structural Engineering Associates check out the Elk’s Lodge on Monday. The building, located at 115 N. Main St., has been a downtown landmark in Maryville since 1909.
The Maryville Elks Lodge at 115 N. Main St. got a check-up Monday from an engineering firm hired by the fraternal organization to assess the ornate brown brick building’s structural integrity. Local Elks Lead Knight Bill Eckles said the examination was needed to make sure the downtown landmark, constructed in 1909, remains safe. “We want it to be a lasting building here,” Eckles said. Built for the exclusive use of lodge brothers, the building is one of the few Elks buildings left in the country that retains members-only status, Eckles said. The engineer’s examination began earlier with the porch area, but that process was stalled due to severe winter weather. Subsequently the effort was divided into several stages, with the remainder of the exterior evaluation now underway. The Lodge has hired Structural Engineering Associates from Kansas City to make sure their building remains safe. “Usually, a brick
building doesn’t need much (maintenance) for 50 years,” engineer Ralph Jones said. “Then after that, you may have to come back every 10 years or so.” Jones said he is looking for signs of deterioration on the face of the building. He added that different portions of the structure could display various levels of deterioration depending on exposure to sunlight, wind, rain and other significant environmental stresses. “It’s kind of a general overview of the exterior of the building,” Jones said. “The whole purpose is just to see if they have anything that needs maintenance on it so they can service the building for years.” The removal of several bricks near the building’s lintels is part of the process. Jones is also looking to see if steel around doors and windows is rusting or corroding. The inspection is also covering mortar joints and other architectural components. “They’re just trying to do their due diligence to make sure the building is in good shape and make sure people can occupy it safely,” Jones said.
Barn artist forges images to suit any farmer’s fancy By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Bill Welch
A project born out of necessity in the early 1960’s helped local resident Bill Welch discover his artistic side, and he’s been creating and inventing ever since. “I was living at my dad’s place, which is a mile north of Parnell,” Welch said. “We had a big old barn, and the upper hay loft doors were rotten and about ready to fall in. So I made new doors and painted them white, but they looked so plain up on the barn. I had one of those penny rubon temporary tattoos of a dressed-up pig in a running motion inside a big heart, so
I used it as the design for the picture I decided to paint on the doors.” Once the picture was painted, Welch thought See Barn, Page 3

Rates rise as USPS fiscal crunch continues By TONY BROWN News editor
It may not mean a lot to folks who do most of their long-distance communicating via phone text, Facebook, Twitter and email, but the cost of sending a letter via the U.S. Postal Service — that quaint custom known “snail mail” — is about to go up. Beginning January 26, the cost
of placing a stamp on a first-class, 1 ounce, single-piece letter will rise from 46 cents to 49 cents. The proposed changes, which pretty much affect all postal rates across the board, are intended to generate $2 billion in annual revenue for the Postal Service, which has been floating on billions of dollars of red ink for years. And while most individuals — especially those who take care
of most of their correspondence online — are unlikely to feel much pain except maybe around Christmas card time, it’s a different story for businesses that depend on the Postal Service to advertise, sell and deliver their product. Newspapers, for example. Daily Forum/Maryville Post Publisher Phil Cobb said Thursday that the planned 6 percent increase in bulk mail rates will add about

$13,000 a year to his operation’s postage costs. “We’ve been talking to our congressmen for the past couple of years about the situation with the post office, and how they seem to be on a death spiral,” said Missouri Press Association Executive Director Doug Crews, who described the challenge facing the Postal Service — less mail to deliver and more places to deliver

it to — as a “perfect storm.” “It doesn’t shape up to a very good situation in the future,” Crews said. “But we’ve been trying to educate Congress and others about the vital role (the Postal Service) plays in delivering our product.” Formed in 1971 from the old U.S. Post Office Department, which was organized in 1792, the Postal Service operates as an See Rates, Page 3

JOHN ANDREW DERKS
1930-2014 John Andrew Derks, of Chandler, Ariz. passed January 12, 2014 caused by complications from Multiple Myeloma. He was born into a family of 10 children February 6, 1930 on a farm outside Clyde, Missouri to John Henry Derks and Veronica Klaas Derks. In 1948, he graduated a successful student athlete from St. Benedict High School and enlisted in the Army where he served 5 years. In 1951, while returning from training in Texas to Northern Michigan, where
he was stationed as part of the United States Army St. Lawrence Seaway security detail during the Korean War, he serendipitously sat next to June Marie Derks, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario on “the back of a bus”. They married in 1953 and began their 58-year partnership, living for significant periods of time in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, California, Illinois, Indiana and, finally, in Arizona. John Derks joined General Motors Buick Division in 1953 and served in various management roles during his 22 year career and then served as Service Manager for several Chicagoland Buick dealerships in the ensuing 15 years. He was a dedicated Catholic and devoted husband, father and professional who believed deeply in loving his family, hard work and enjoying friends and life. He served as primary care giver for his wife June for her 38 year battle with Multiple Sclerosis. John is survived by his
children, Cheryl, Judy Chamberlain (Mike) and Steve (Laura) and his grandchildren Ben, Jordan, Grace, Jack and Nora as well as his sisters, Mary Walter of St. Joe, Missouri, Esther Schmidt of Atlanta, Georgia, and his brothers Vincent Derks of Omaha, Nebraska and Donald Derks of Hobson, Montana. He was preceded in death by his wife June and his siblings Marguerite, Raymond, Leona, Marcella and Joseph. A visitation will be held Thursday, January 16 at 4 p.m. with a Prayer Service beginning at 4:30 p.m. at Messinger Mortuary, 7601 E. Indian School Road, Scottsdale, Ariz. A reception will immediately follow the service. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution honoring John to Catholic Charities, American Cancer Society, or your favorite charitable organization.

Vintage Oil Cans
Vintage oil cans are among the ag-related antiques and collectibles acquired over the years by local artist Bill Welch, whose creative specialities include barn paintings and metal cutouts.
Barn artist forges images to suit a farmer’s fancy Continued from Page 1 his creation still lacked something. “I told Dad they needed a slogan or saying painted above the picture. He thought awhile, and came up with ‘The Heart of the
Valley.’ It arched over the picture perfectly, and that really completed the door project,” Welch said. Welch ultimately took over the day-to-day operation of the farm from his father, and he continued dabbling in art
while collecting agriculturerelated antiques and other odds and ends, such as vintage oil cans. Once Welch moved from the farm to Maryville, he had more time to devote to making artwork, and, as in the past, most of his
creations involve materials that had been consigned to the scrap heap. One of his favorite motifs are silhouettes of cowboys and cowgirls that he cuts from old barrels and other large pieces of metal. From bigger works that
attach to the sides of barns and sheds to freestanding pieces for the yard or garden, Welch’s art spans the entire range from whimsical to functional, and all catch the eye. “If I can give something that was thrown away a
new life, I think it’s a good thing, and I enjoy doing it,” Welch said. Welch said those first barn doors that he painted have faded a little over time, but that the “The Heart of the Valley” is still visible to passersby.

Missouri House Dems offer income tax-cut plan JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Democrats in the Missouri House are proposing to cut income taxes for lowerto middle-income individuals and raise them for many wealthier residents. House Democrats outlined a tax overhaul plan Monday as an alternative to the tax-cut plans being pursued by majority party Republicans. Democrats said their plan would be “revenue neutral” for the state. It would lower the tax rate on the first $30,000 of income but raise it for income over $300,000 beginning in 2016. The legislation also would cap the amount of federal income taxes that can be deducted on state income tax forms but increase the standard deduction for people earning less than $15,000 annually.
State auditor to review Department of Corrections ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri’s auditor plans a probe of the state agency that has come under recent scrutiny over its use of a new death penalty drug. State Auditor Tom Schweich said the review of the Missouri Department of Corrections has already begun. The agency oversees the state prison system. Missouri has executed two inmates in recent months after switching to a one-drug execution method using the sedative pentobarbital. A third execution is scheduled for later this month. The state used a three-drug execution method for decade until pharmaceutical companies stopped selling those drugs to prisons. The drug comes from an Oklahoma compounding pharmacy not licensed to do business in Missouri.
U.S. Postal rates
U.S. Postal Service rates will go up on Jan. 26, when the price of mailing a 1-ounce, first-class letter increases from 46 cents to 49 cents. Above, a postal clerk waits on a customer at the Maryville Post Office. Local Postmaster Paul Eschbacher said mail volume here has increased steadily since 2010.
Rates rise as fiscal crunch continues Continued from Page 1 independent agency and has not received direct taxpayerdollars since the early 1980s, despite remaining under the control of Congress. According to the Associated Press, the volume of mail handled by the service has decreased steadily as more people stay in touch using email, Facebook and other electronic services. Total mail volume handled by the agency dropped to 160 billion pieces in 2011 from its all-time high, 213.1 billion, in 2006. But declining volume is not the only problem. The majority of the service’s nearly $16 billion loss in fiscal 2012 stemmed from a 2006 law Congress passed forcing it to fully fund its retiree benefits 75 years into the future, something no other agency does. The service was expected to lose an additional $6 billion or so in fiscal 2013. In a letter last fall, Postal Service Board of Governors Chairman Mickey Barnett blamed the agency’s “precarious financial
condition” on the “uncertain path toward enactment of postal reform legislation” by Washington. In the past, postal increases have been tied to the Consumer Price Index, but Barnett said this year’s proposed hike — well above CPI — is justified as “a last resort that reflects extreme financial challenges.” In addition to grappling with the increase itself, businesses are also trying to come to grips with the way it’s being implemented. According to the terms set forth by the U.S. Postal Regulatory Commission, the increase is temporary and is supposed to roll back in 2015. But Maryville Postmaster Paul Eschbacher said this week that no one seems certain if that means returning rates to their current level or reducing the increase to 1 percent of CPI, which has been standard regulatory procedure in the past. Other fiscal pressures are bedeviling the Postal Service as well. Eschbacher noted that volatile fuel prices cost the agency $1

million a day every time gasoline goes up a penny per gallon. Whatever its financial woes, Eschbacher said there is no doubt that people and businesses in Nodaway County depend on the Postal Service more than ever. Local mail volume, he said, has increased 2 or 3 percent a year since 2010 and in 2012-’13 rose a remarkable 6 percent. Last year, Eschbacher said, the Maryville post office handled 1.7 million letters; 900,000 packages

Our United Way needs your help Bible verses, historical quotations, even traditional “old sayings,” there is ample encouragement extolling to virtues of charitable giving to go around. From 1 Corinthians 13:13’s “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity,” to “… with malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right,” from Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, the message of the importance of charity to others is clear. Even old sayings like “Many hands make light work” emphasize the importance of working together to help those less fortunate than ourselves. And so it is with the United Way of Nodaway County as it closes in on its goal of raising $110,000 to contribute to the support of 15 worthwhile organizations in our area during the year ahead. Aside from the charitable good it does in our wider community, there is another unique aspect that sets the local United Away apart from other organizations which seek local contributions on a regular basis. The money raised by the United Way of Nodaway County is used by that organization almost exclusively for what the name indicates — united support for Nodaway County organizations which support others. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Big Brothers Big Sisters, 4-H Council, Lifeline, Salvation Army, The Ministry Center, all local organizations needing local dollars to do good for local people. The Nodaway County Community Building, The Children and Family Center of NW Missouri, Community Services, the Senior Center, and county school health programs, they all do good work, right here at home. The Salvation Army, Children’s Mercy Hospital and Second Harvest Community Food Bank are more regional services that provide continuing support to local needs. No other organization seeking support locally can come close to matching the percentage of funds that remain within the county to provide needed services to Nodaway County residents. If you have not made a contribution to the United Way of Nodaway County, it is not too late. It is never too late to make the effort to contribute to the support of someone who needs a bit of a hand up to get back in control of their circumstances. And there is no better way to make that contribution than through the United Way of Nodaway County.

Legends of the Fall
Thanks to social media and TV, we’ve got some fences to mend I want to make it perfectly clear up front that I am not a fan of Facebook, Twitter, or any of those other venues that are grouped in what we affectionately refer to these days as social media. It was most assuredly a general feeling in the beginning, probably more of a generational distrust than anything else. But, for whatever reason, I just never got hooked in the first place — and the feeling has certainly not improved over the past three or four months. At first blush, I thought it might be fun to follow my children’s postings, and from that grew a slight temptation to keep tabs on what the grandkids were doing through the same trackings. But I realized, very soon, that as much as I love them, I really didn’t need to see what I am certain were “cool,” “funny,” “neat” photographs — selfies, as I believe they are popularly known nowadays — from various stages of their day, every day. Good for you, I am sure, if that is your inclination, but it was not for me. If you do something really special, give your ol’ grandfather a call — on his smart phone, no less — and tell him about it. Maybe it was satisfactory to be advised, along with several hundred other “friends,” via a tweet, or a Facebook posting, but that didn’t, doesn’t, mean that much to me. Certainly, being in the newspaper business for most of my adult life, I have always had an interest in what was going on around me, around my town, that had some real news value. But the shameless prattle that I found most of what I saw to be, no thank you. I even developed a Facebook page when friends — well-meaning supporters — urged me to launch one in conjunction with my run for the Maryville City Council three years ago. I suppose it was beneficial; I was elected, for one reason or another. But I must admit I rarely checked it back during the run-up to the election. And I looked at it maybe a half dozen times afterwards. Until last October. And then, after a questionable
piece in the Kansas City Star about the “Nightmare in Maryville,” Facebook, Twitter, e-mail in general reared back and kicked me —and the entire city of Maryville — right smack dab in the teeth. In the face. The gut. The groin. All of the above. all at once. My first clue that something was awry was when I was alerted that I was being singled out by a group calling itself Anonymous as having

“dirty hands” for my involvement, or lack thereof, in what became known internationally as the Daisy Coleman Case. I certainly have my own personal feelings about that whole unfortunate situation that brought so much attention to our community. I believe I am entitled to them, just as is everyone else who feels compelled to express an opinion related to the matter — regardless of which side they choose to come down on. As I said earlier, however, having spent many years in the news-gathering and disseminating business, I think I have learned a thing or two. One of them is that everyone is entitled to his own opinion, and the right to express that opinion. In a responsible manner. If you believe one side, or the other, is being wronged, I honor your right to express that opinion. Make
that argument, if you want to go that far. In a responsible manner. The litany of horrible accusations that were made about Maryville, as a community; about the people who live here; about the administration of the city, professional as well as elected, involved or not, was difficult to follow. It was even more difficult to swallow irresponsible accusations. Accusations using language I had never seen written before. Much less written for public consumption. Were our accusers emboldened because, like the hacker-group’s name would indicate, they were anonymous? It is difficult, frightening, to believe, anyone would say something like that to my face, but there was seemingly never a minute’s hesitation to fill my e-mailbox with the most vile of sentiments. Expressed in the most base language. The most alarming part of the entire scenario is the baselessness of the vast majority of the conclusions — leaning to either side. Many assumptions were obviously based on a wildfire that spread much like the old game we used to play as kids called gossip. Hear it, embellish it, spread it along. I know the general population of Maryville does not condone rape. I doubt you can find one resident to plug into that category. Same for abusing a minor, any minor, in any manner. Nor would anyone in this town torch a residence because of a dislike for the owner. Much less organize a mob to do so. But those were the implications that circled the globe about us. About Maryville, Missouri. Ironically, many barbs came from as far away as Australia. In the end, cooler heads prevailed. Reason was exercised. The American justice system was given the opportunity to work — and it worked. Now, thanks to social media, and the unjustified aggression of the ruthless sensation-seeking electronic media, Maryville has a major rebuilding job on its hands. You know what? I’m covering all bets we’re up to the challenge.

USDA Conservation Stewardship Program deadline set for Feb. 7 The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has extended the deadline for new enrollments in the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) to Feb. 7. CSP, now in its fifth year, emphasizes conservation performance by providing higher payments to agricultural producers who achieve
high levels of conservation. In CSP, producers install conservation enhancements to make positive changes in soil quality, soil erosion, water quality, water quantity, air quality, plant resources, animal resources and energy use. Nationally, NRCS has partnered with producers to enroll more than 59 million acres into CSP. In Missouri, 3,281 farmers and ranchers
have enrolled about 1.7 million acres. While local NRCS offices accept CSP applications year round, NRCS evaluates applications during announced ranking periods. To be eligible for this year’s enrollment, producers must have their applications submitted to NRCS by Feb. 7. A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help
producers determine if the program is suitable for their operations. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship threshold requirements and payment types. To download the CSP self-screening checklist or visit www.nrcs.usda.gov or Maryville’s USDA service center.

Moretz and Moore do their best to carry Carrie By Gary Darling Staff Writer
I was intrigued when I found out that Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore were going to double-team the new film based on Stephen King’s novel, “Carrie.” With that kind of star power, how could this film fail? Also, I wasn’t a big fan of the original movie. Although many Stephen King fans would argue that it was the best adaptation of one of his books. That is fine, but a good adaptation doesn’t automatically mean that the film is going to be well done. Now, after watching the second film based on the book, I am beginning to think maybe it isn’t the films that are so bad. Just maybe it is the source material. That being the case, the performances by Moretz and Moore are
the best thing about this film. The story, though, was a bit beleaguered. Carrie White (Moretz) is a senior at Ewen High School after being home-schooled most of her life by her mother Margaret (Moore). The change came when it became required by law for Carrie to attend public school. Although Carrie welcomes this change, she has a hard time fitting in. Things go from bad to worse when she has a late first menstrual period. Thinking she is bleeding to death, she appeals to her fellow classmates to help her, but all they have for her is laughter. One girl, Chris Hargensen (Portia Doubleday), even goes so far as to post the video of the incident online for all her fellow students to see. This leads another popular girl, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde), to become overwhelmed with guilt and
suggests to her boyfriend, Tommy Ross (Ansel Elgort), that he take Carrie to prom in her place as penance. Unfortunately, because she is forced to miss prom because of her actions, Chris decides to enact revenge upon Carrie at the prom. Bad idea. Like I said before, the best thing about this film is the performances of Moore and Moretz. This is never more evident than in the scenes where they interact together. The rest of the cast seems out of place next to actors of this quality and end up hurting the final product. The story itself just didn’t move at a pace that could keep me interested and that was unfortunate because it could have really been something special. Overall, I was disappointed in “Carrie” but enjoyed Moretz and Moore. 2.5 stars

Globes leader ‘American Hustle’ gets Oscar boost By JESSICA HERNDON AP Film Writer
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The Golden Globes are typically Hollywood’s bawdiest awards show — “a wonderful mess,” said co-host Tina Fey of this year’s bash. But in the end, after all the boozy banter — some of it bleeped for broadcast — the 1970s corruption tale “American Hustle” got a very serious push toward Oscar glory, picking up three major awards. Benefiting the most from Sunday night’s Globes as focus shifts to the Academy Awards, David O. Russell’s con caper locked in best comedy, best actress (Amy Adams) and best supporting actress (Jennifer Lawrence). Not that early-season favorite “12 Years a Slave” isn’t still in the running. Though it earned only one award, Steve McQueen’s historical epic took home the night’s top honor: best film drama. But “American Hustle” seems to have emerged from the 71st annual Golden Globes as the film to beat. Oscar doesn’t usually care much for comedies, but “American Hustle” offers a rich blend of scandal, style and superb acting that is bound to get Academy voters’ attention. The Globes have flipped awards season momentum before. Though Ben Affleck was denied an Oscar
nomination last year for directing “Argo,” he did win best director at the Globes and his film went on to win best picture at the Oscars. In 2009, Katherine Bigelow’s “The Hurt Locker” lost in the best film category to James Cameron’s “Avatar” at the Globes. The defeat seemed to sway Oscar voters in Bigelow’s favor and she snagged the best picture award. With the Oscar nominations coming Thursday, lost-in-space saga “Gravity,” which earned Alfonso Cuaron the best director Globe, could pick up some additional pull with likely nominations in the craft categories, which the Globes don’t recognize. There’s also a lot of built-in affection for its leading lady, Sandra Bullock, not to mention the film’s impressive worldwide box office performance. Hosting Sunday night’s Globes for the second year in a row, Fey and Amy Poehler drew big laughs as they targeted such A-listers as Matt Damon, Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio. One of the evening’s wellreceived jokes was delivered in the “SNL” alums’ opening bit in a reference Fey made to “Gravity”: “It’s a story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.” Last year, the duo led a six-

year ratings high with 19.7 million viewers. They’ll return as hosts next year. Besides “American Hustle” and “12 Years a Slave,” the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which presents the Globes, also favored other fact-based films from America’s past: the ‘80s-era AIDS drama “Dallas Buyers Club” and the high-finance extravaganza “The Wolf of Wall Street,” which both won top awards. “Dallas Buyers Club” stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, who both lost noticeable weight for their roles — “or
as actresses call it, ‘being in a movie,’” joked Fey — won their first Globes for best dramatic actor and best supporting actor. DiCaprio, a nine-time nominee, picked up his second Globe for best comedy actor for his turn as a provocative stockbroker in Martin Scorsese’s nearly three-hour “Wall Street.” “I am thankful that Martin Scorsese is still this punk rock,” said DiCaprio backstage. Famously absent from awards shows for years, Woody Allen received the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement honor, which
was accepted by the director’s “Anne Hall” star Diane Keaton. “Did you see Diane Keaton tonight?” best comedy actress winner Cate Blanchett asked reporters backstage. “She is my style icon, my acting icon — the works.” Blanchett took home the award for her portrayal of a fallen socialite in Allen’s “Blue Jasmine.” Elegant in an Armani gown, Blanchett joked, “A lot of effort goes into this effortlessness. It’s a wonderful mirage to be here tonight, but it’s not entirely who I am.”

Bearcats take control of MIAA By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Northwest bounced back from a pair of subpar performances on the road with a dominating performance against Northeastern State Monday night to take sole possession of the top spot in the MIAA at 11-5, 6-1 MIAA. “That’s probably the best we played,” freshman forward Zach Schneider said. “We were definitely playing at the top of our game.” Senior guard DeShaun Cooper got the offense rolling early, scoring the Bearcats’ first eight points, before they hit a lull. “Cooper played as good a game as any player that we had tonight,” head coach Ben McCollum said. “He played unbelievable. Carried the load right away and then just controlled everything. He needed to score right away because we weren’t hitting shots.” After Northeastern State pulled ahead 12-10 with just under 11 min-
utes to play in the first half, sophomore guard Conner Crooker hit a three-pointer to give Northwest a lead and a little momentum to get the Bearcat offense rolling. “I think the first half, we really started out getting the same shots we were getting in the second half, we just weren’t knocking them down,” Schneider said. “When we started making a run is when we started hitting the open shots that we normally do.” Northwest took a 33-24 lead into halftime, and came back out of the locker room on fire, shooting a blistering 60-percent from the field in the second half as the lead stretched. “We made shots,” McCollum said. “I thought we were getting really good shots. We were getting layups and kick-out threes and just didn’t knock them down. I knew eventually it would come.” The Cats hit 11 threes on the night, including five from Schneider and four from Crooker. Crooker finished
with a game-high 20 points and Schneider added 19, playing from the stretch-forward position against the smaller lineup of the RiverHawks. “I don’t know who said it, but ‘Shooters won the war,’” McCollum said. “That’s kind of the theory we’ve got. You can’t win just playing defense. I’m a big defensive guy, but when you’ve got shooters, it stretches the defense so much.” Cooper added 12 points and seven assists while senior center Dillon Starzl scored 11 points as did junior forward Grant Cozad, who also recorded six rebounds. Northwest has now won three straight after a 81-77 loss to Central Oklahoma to open the 2014 portion of its schedule. The Cats hit the road again Thursday night to take on Southwest Baptist. “It’s definitely a key for us to get hot at this time of the year,” Crooker said. “We just gotta keep building on what we’re doing, play good defense and keep working our game.”
In 1969, Washburn University began participating in women’s sports. Its nickname for all the women’s teams was the Lady Blues. On May 24, the Lady Blues nickname was eliminated to conform to the men’s mascot and all teams became the Ichabods. That seems a little strange to me. I’ve never seen a female Ichabod. Of course, the Ichabod Gene Steinmeyer mascot at Washburn is so ugly; I don’t think either gender would claim it. Making all genders of Washburn teams the Ichabods is a little like the nickname in the small Nebraska community of Milligan. Their boys teams are the Roosters and the girls teams are the Lady Roosters. There is some serious gender confusion in Milligan. Personally, I hated to see the Lady Blues bite the dust. Every year my Northwest Missouri State women’s basketball team would visit Washburn, they would play the Kermit the Frog’s theme song, “It Ain’t Easy Being Green.” In 2004, my women’s basketball team made its first NCAA tournament appearance. We played Washburn for the fourth time that year in the first round. I made T-shirts for my players that read on the front, “It Ain’t Easy Being Green,” and on the back it said, “But It’s Better Than Being Blue.” The NCAA director who ran the regional made everyone take off the T-shirts. I still can’t see what’s unsportsmanlike about that T-shirt. I know the Washburn coach, Ron McHenry, didn’t have any problems with it. I asked my 14-year old son, Sam, what college nicknames he liked. The first two to come to his mind were the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. He also liked the individual nicknames of Billy Butler (Country Breakfast) and Ozzie Smith (Wizard of Oz). At the south end of Maryville, you will find a team mascot that has been enshrined into ESPN’s Mascot Hall of Fame. The Spoofhound is really unique. So unique, it’s the only team anywhere in the country with that nickname. To refresh your memory, in the 1920s, Coach L. E. Ziegler was so mad at his team’s first half performance, he called his sluggish football squad a bunch of Spoofhounds. He meant to embarrass his players since a Spoofhound was a plaster of Paris carnival dog. However, his players had other ideas and the nickname stuck. One thing I didn’t know is Ziegler became the superintendent of schools in Columbia in the 1940s. One team in his District is nicknamed the Kewpies, an early 20th century doll. I guess strange team nicknames followed Ziegler around. I have a problem just one problem with how Maryville’s nickname is used. We like to shorten the Spoofhounds to Hounds. Our football stadium is even nicknamed the Hound Pound. What’s wrong with the Spoof-Hound Pound? A visitor might not even know about the uniqueness of our mascot after one, short visit.

Fairfax Tournament gets underway By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Opening night at the 82nd Annual Fairfax Tournament saw three Nodaway County teams in action, but only one advanced onto the winner’s bracket. In the first game of the evening, the North Nodaway boys ran into top-seeded Rock Port and dropped a 52-29 decision to the Blue Jays. North Nodaway stayed close in the early going, only trailing 11-7 at the end of the first quarter, behind five points from Koby Reynolds. In quarter No. 2, Rock Port outscored the Mustangs 13-3 to take a 24-10 lead into halftime. A 17-6 third quarter put Rock Port in control of the contest, as it led 41-16 at the end of the third quarter en route to the decisive victory. The Mustangs, now 1-10 on the season, were paced offensively by Reynolds, who finished with 18 points. “We handled the ball pretty well, but we didn’t shoot well from the outside and Rock Port dominated us on the boards and got lots of second and third shot opportunities, which really hurt us,” North Nodaway head coach Chris Schoning said. “I’m still proud of my kids, as they continue to play extremely hard.” The Mustangs will play the loser of tonight’s St. Joseph Christian/Tarkio contest
on Thursday in tournament consolation action. The contest is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. Game No. 2 of the evening pitted the seventh-seeded West Nodaway Lady Rockets and the Lady Indians of Tarkio, seeded second. Tarkio jumped out to a 10-3 first quarter lead and never looked back en route to a 42-11 victory. West Nodaway, now 0-10 on the season, were paced offensively by Alyson Dye’s four points. West Nodaway head coach Toshia Jones declined comment following the contest. The Lady Rockets will play the loser of tonight’s Rock Port/St. Joseph Christian contest on Thursday in consolation action beginning at 6 p.m. The final game of the evening was easily the most entertaining, as the second-seeded West Nodaway boys overcame a gallant effort by seventh seeded Craig/Fairfax and came away with a 64-53 victory. The game was knotted at 12-12 at the end of the first quarter, and West Nodaway used 12 second-quarter points by Jaden Gillenwater grab a 32-28 halftime lead. West Nodaway used its size advantage to control the boards in the second half, limiting Craig/Fairfax to one shot on several occasions. This allowed the Rockets to gradually stretch out their lead throughout the second half, despite a determined performance by Craig/Fairfax. See ROCKETS, Page 8

Northwest junior guard Ashleigh Nelson came hard off a screen by freshman post Shelby Mustain in the first half of the Bearcats’ 57-51 overtime victory over Northeastern State in a make-up game from last week.

Dorrel named Coach of the Year The American Football Coaches Association will cap its 2014 convention by presenting its top coaching award — AFCA Coach of the Year — to five outstanding coaches. Duke’s David Cutcliffe, North Dakota State’s Craig Bohl, Northwest Missouri State’s Adam Dorrel, Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Lance Leipold and Grand View’s Mike Woodley are the 2013 AFCA National Coach of the Year winners.

It took five extra minutes, but Northwest persevered through a back-and-forth battle with Northeastern State Monday night to pick up its second conference victory of the season, 57-51. “We knew this was a big game coming in,” head coach Michael Smith said. “We talked about it after the Washburn game. I thought it was a must-win for our program. I’m just really, really happy we were able to get this win.” Northwest led early and used the threeball to its advantage, hitting five of them in the first half — including three from senior point guard Monique Stevens to push out to a 28-22 halftime advantage. The second half was back and forth as neither team gained a clear advantage, though Northwest held a slim lead for most of the second half as well. With 10 seconds left, Northeastern State’s Jamie Jackson blew past the Bearcats’ defense to put the RiverHawks up 49-48, only the Cats didn’t panic and Stevens took the inbounds coast-to-coast and was fouled with six seconds left. She missed the front end of the free throws only to see Northeastern State call timeout. It had the opposite effect the RiverHawks wanted as Stevens sank the second one after calming her nerves to force overtime. “There’s always nerves there,” Stevens said. “The game comes down to if you make them or miss them. I missed the first one and I kind of freaked myself out a little, but (Northeastern State) called a timeout and I
was able to compose myself a little and get back in my head. I went back out a lot calmer and a lot (more) confident that I could hit that shot and go to overtime. “Last year, Fort Hays’ coach (called a timeout between free throws) and it froze me up, so we lost the game. This year I took a better approach and calmed myself down.” In overtime, Northwest took complete control, despite several turnovers, limiting the RiverHawks to just two points. “I think we just really believed in each other at the end,” junior guard Ashleigh Nelson said. “We came together and told ourselves that we could do it. We’ve been in an overtime situation and the outcome was different. I think we were a lot more composed as a team. Even with all the turnovers, we didn’t freak out.” Nelson took over in the second half an overtime, scoring eight of her 14 points in the second half and overtime. She also chipped in a team-high five assists and five rebounds. “I think she feels like the last couple of games she hasn’t played the way she’s capable of and felt like she’d been letting her teammates down,” Smith said. “I think she responded tonight.” Stevens also scored 14 points and junior forward Annie Mathews recorded a doubledouble with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Northwest (5-9, 2-5), which had lost two straight road games before picking up the win at home goes back on the road Thursday night to face Southwest Baptist — its fourth game in a week. “We can only go up from here,” Nelson said.
STANBERRY INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT
all the Coach of the Year awards and is the only one chosen exclusively by the coaches. Dorrel led the Bearcats to a 15-0 record in 2013 and the program’s fourth NCAA Division II national title, the first since 2009. Dorrel brought his overall record to 36-3 in his three years as head coach. Being one of the first players to start on the offensive line under legendary former head coach, Mel Tjeerdsma in 1994, Dorrel continued the Bearcat excellence in his first season as head coach, returning the Bearcats to the playoffs for an eighth straight season. Northwest Missouri State has made the playoffs for 10 straight years, the longest current streak in NCAA Division II football.

South Nodaway junior Kristen Nielson leads a fast break late in the Longhorns 52-39 victory over Jefferson on Monday night. Nielson finished the game with 14 points. South Nodaway will play on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. against the winner of North Andrew and Worth County. Jefferson will play the loser of that same game Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. See Wednesday’s Daily Forum for complete coverage of this game.

STEVE HARTMAN/DAILY FORUM
North Nodaway’s Peyton Coleman looks for a cutting teammate in Fairfax Tournament action versus Rock Port Monday night. The Mustangs dropped a 52-29 decision to the Blue Jays.
Rockets on to 2nd round Continued from Page 7 The Rockets, now 7-4 on the season, were paced by Gillenwater’s 25 points, while Trevor Meyer and Jonathan Madere added 14 points each. “Both teams played very hard. We picked up our rebounding in the second half, and I believe that was the key to the game,” West Nodaway head coach Roger Johnson said.
West Nodaway advances to a Wednesday night semi-final matchup against the winner of tonight’s Nodaway-Holt/Savannah JV contest. Game time will be 9 p.m. North Nodaway’s girls, the No. 4 seed, take on Craig/Fairfax at 4:30 p.m. tonight for the right to face No. 1 seed NodawayHolt, which received a bye at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Spoofhounds one of a kind Continued from Page 7 The first Spoofhound was characterized by one sports editor as, “A loveable buffoon.” Now, though, if you drive by the marque at Maryville High School, the Spoofhounds is one serious fighting dog. We all know you can go to prison for dog fighting. What can be more intense than when the meanest fighting dog faces off with their arch-rivals, the Savages (Savannah). It’s like a hungry pack of dogs attacking nearlynaked, crazed athletes. We don’t know how lucky we have it in Maryville. When I first took over the
women’s program in 1999 and ran my first basketball camp in 2000, I invited some of my Nebraska coaching friends to help. They came from schools called Tigers and Cardinals. Once they found out about the Spoofhounds, they went straight to the Student Body for T-shirts. They even left camp early one day to buy Savage T-shirts. With all this Spoofhound history, the people of Maryville will have an advantage over Washburn fans. They won’t have to read Sleepy Hollow find out about an Ichabod.

Jefferson senior Kyler Farnan shoots a jump shot over the South Nodaway defense on Monday night. Farnan finished the game with five points, all of which came in the fourth quarter of the Eagles 45-37 victory over South Nodaway. Jefferson will take on the Albany Warriors Thursday at 9 p.m. South Nodaway will play King City on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. See Wednesday’s Daily Forum for complete coverage.

Yes, West might have had a three-suiter with a heart void, and a contract of four spades would have either made or been a cheap save when four hearts doubled was making. But it is the percentage action to pass when balanced. It is usually easier to win four tricks than 10. (Yes, here five clubs makes, but how would you get there?) West led the spade ace: five, two, three. What happened after that? Since East’s low card denied the spade queen, West anticipated that South had begun with queen-doubleton. So West could see four probable tricks. However, his partner rated to have one of the minor-suit kings -- but which one? When West cashed the spade king, East made a suit-preference signal. Because he held the diamond king, he dropped his spade eight. (With the club king, East would have followed with his four.) Now West led a low diamond. East won with his king and shifted to the club
jack. The defenders took two tricks there. South, down to eight trumps, ruffed the next play and cashed the heart ace to drop the king and get out for down two. Did you notice South’s error? He should have played his spade queen at trick one. Then it would have been dangerous for West to continue with the spade king, lest South ruff, cash the heart ace, get to dummy with the heart queen, and discard two losers on the spade jack and nine. There were a surprising 11 five-putts on the PGA tour in 2013.

Students to mark King Day with Peace March STAFF REPORT
Maryville Daily Forum
Northwest Missouri State University will honor civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. with a series of events next week, including the school’s third annual Peace March on Monday, which will begin on campus and proceed to the Nodaway County Courthouse. Northwest’s Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Week begins Monday, Jan. 20, the observed federal holiday marking the Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s birth on Jan. 15, 1929. King was slain by an assassin on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn. University students, faculty and staff will gather at 11 a.m. that morning for a Peace Brunch in the J.W. Jones Student Union Ballroom, where the keynote speaker will be Robert N. Page Jr., assistant to the president at the Penn Valley Campus of Metropolitan Community College. The march will follow at 1:30 p.m., beginning outside the union. As in past years, participants are being encouraged to carry signs promoting peace, equality and justice, ideals that were the hallmarks of King’s work as the premier leader of the U.S. civil rights movement during the 1950s and ‘60s.
In observance of the holiday, Northwest will not have classes Monday, and all university offices will be closed. Maryville R-II schools will be closed as well. King, a Baptist minister, was one of the founders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and came to national prominence in 1955 during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. His campaign to end discrimination and segregation in the American South culminated in the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered the “I Have a Dream” speech, widely regarded as one of the great public declarations of the 20th century.

Ford betting heavy on aluminum F-150 pickup truck DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford pickups have been doing the country’s work for 66 years. They’ve hauled grain, towed logs and plowed snow. They’ve cleared debris after tornadoes and pulled floats in the Rose Bowl parade. They’ve shouldered those loads with parts forged from steel. Until now. On Monday, Ford unveiled a new F-150 with a body built almost entirely out of aluminum. The lighter material shaves as much as 700 pounds off the 5,000-pound truck, a revolutionary change for a vehicle known for its heft and an industry still heavily reliant on steel. The change is Ford’s response to small-business owners’ desire for a more fuel-efficient and nimble
truck — and stricter government requirements on fuel economy. “You’re either moving ahead and you’re improving and you’re making it more valuable and more useful to the customer, or you’re not,” Chief Executive Alan Mulally told The Associated Press. Ninety-seven percent of the body of the 2015 F-150 is aluminum, the most extensive use of aluminum ever in a truck. And this isn’t just any truck. F-Series trucks — which include the F-150 and heavier duty models like the F-250 — have been the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. for the last 32 years. Last year, Ford sold an F-Series every 41 seconds. The key question for Ford is will customers embrace such a radical
change? Dealers who have seen the new F-150 say they expect to encounter some skepticism, but the change had to be made. “We’re aggressive, stretching the envelope,” said Sam Pack, owner of four Ford dealerships in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. “I think you have to do that. If you don’t, then you get into that predicament of being a ‘me too’ vehicle.” The 2015 F-150 goes on sale late this year. While aluminum is more expensive that steel, Ford truck marketing chief Doug Scott says the F-Series will stay within the current price range. F-Series trucks now range from a starting price of $24,445 for a base model to $50,405 for a top-of-the-line Limited.
STATE NEWS BRIEFS
Missing infant found safe in Florida ANDERSON, Mo. (AP) — A 6-month-old baby who was taken from his grandfather’s home in southwest Missouri was found alive in Florida and his parents are in custody, authorities said. Anderson police said in a news release that the infant, Mitchell Farris, was “healthy and safe” when he was found Sunday in Miami with his parents, Preston Farris, 34, and Anastasia McDaniel, 30. McDaniel’s grandfather, Gerald Steele, has legal custody of the child. The parents are being held in the Miami-Dade County jail without bond, awaiting extradition to Missouri’s McDonald County on warrants for parental kidnapping. The Anderson police chief wrote in the probable cause statement that Preston Farris took his son on Jan. 2 from Steels’ apartment in Anderson after telling Steele that his granddaughter was in the hospital.
Molester faces loss of teaching license ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis area man faces the loss of his teaching license after being sentenced to five years’ probation for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old student. The State Board of Education will decide this week whether to accept the surrender of 34-year-old Joseph Maddock’s license. Maddock was sentenced in November on child molestation charges. He also was ordered to surrender his teaching certificate. Police say Maddock met the boy in 2012 while teaching third grade at Andrews Academy in Lake St. Louis. Two years later, he persuaded the boy’s parents to let him homeschool the fifth-grader five days a week in Maddock’s basement. Records show Maddock has worked at 10 schools in the St. Louis metro area.
