Veterans assistance office opens at CIE MARYVILLE, Mo. — Veterans in northwest Missouri have a new resource to help then pursue claims through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Northwest Missouri State University recently entered into a partnership with the Missouri Veterans Commission that establishes a Veterans Service Officer presence at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. VSO Jesse Campbell will keep regular hours at the CIE, located on the north end of campus, from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month.

‘We really want veterans to know they have representation in Maryville.’ — VSO Jesse Campbell Veterans don’t need an appointment and will be served on a first-come, first-served basis. The office is located in CIE room 1222. The office phone number is (660) 562-1710 and veterans can also email Campbell at jesse. campbell@mvc.dps.mo.gov. The office’s services are available free of charge. “We really want veterans to know they have representation in Maryville,” Campbell said. “The University was more than happy to allow us the space and become more active in assisting veterans, not only at the university but in the community as well.”

The Missouri Veterans Commission, which previously maintained an office on Summit Drive in Maryville, is a state-based organization that assists veterans with benefit claims and serves as a bridge between veterans and the VA. “Without this partnership, local veterans would have to travel to St. Joseph to connect with a VSO,” said Jennifer Kennymore, a health educator with Northwest’s office of Wellness Services. “This partnership is important not only because it is the right thing to do, but it helps veterans at Northwest and in the community connect with the resources they need.” Campbell said many veterans are unaware of the benefits to which they are entitled. “The most common issue is that veterans don’t know what their benefits are,” Campbell said. “They may know what some of them are, and they may think they’re utilizing their VA benefits to the full extent, but they find after they’ve talked with a VSO that there are so many other benefits they’re eligible for.” Other services available to veterans on the Northwest campus include regular visits by Nate Whiters of the Kansas City Vet Center. Whiters, who is trained to provide former military personnel with readjustment counseling, is at Northwest from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the third Friday of each month in room 2440 of the Student Engagement Center on the second floor of the J.W. Jones Student Union. Individuals interested in meeting with Whiters should call (816) 753-1866 for an appointment.

Former professor arraigned on charge

Planning for the worst, hoping for the best

Arnie Kreek, acting director of the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments, speaks before the Nodaway County Commission on Wednesday with regard to a recently completed natural disaster mitigation plan. The commissioners also considered a funding request from the New Nodaway Humane Society in preparation for enacting the county’s 2014 budget later this month.

Humane society makes bid for county funding By TONY BROWN News editor

In what amounts to a wintertime ritual, the Nodaway County Commission this week continued to hear requests from local agencies seeking tax dollars to help support operations during 2014. Nodaway’s general operations budget is expected to total something over $7 million this year, and the commission will likely accept the spending plan, now being prepared by County Clerk Beth Walker, during its regular Wednesday session set for 9 a.m. Jan. 22. Agencies standing in line for appropriations include such entities as the University of Missouri

farming operation complete with grow lights, pot-filled baggies and smoking paraphernalia. During this week’s hearing, associate Circuit Judge Glen Dietrich determined that authorities had probable cause to believe that Rouch had produced See PROFESSOR, Page 3

Extension Council, the Missouri Department of Conservation, Nodaway County Economic Development, the New Nodaway Humane Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Missouri Enterprise Facilitation. On Tuesday Doug Sutton of the New Nodaway Humane Society appeared before the three-member commission to request a $20,000 contribution from county coffers. Sutton told the governing board that an increase in the minimum wage has added $10,000 to the annual cost of running the society’s animal shelter, which faces expenditures this year amounting to around $240,000.

Former Northwest Missouri State University mass media professor Matt Rouch was in the associate division of Nodaway County Circuit Court this week for a preliminary hearing in connection with a pair of felony drug charges. Rouch was arrested in September after making comments in a classroom building corridor and on Facebook during which he joked about having a bomb in his briefcase and going “to the top of the bell tower with a high powered rifle — with a good scope, and probably a Gatling gun as well.” Though authorities later determined the comments were made in jest, and therefore did not constitute a criminal threat, officers did obtain a warrant in order to search Rouch’s home for weapons. Instead, they found what Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice alleges to be an indoor marijuana

Obituaries personnel, they each beautifully contributed to his care and quality of life. George lived a lifetime of never knowing a stranger. He would be one of the first to help a stranded motorist or lend a hand to anyone. He lived his faith by example and lived the “Golden Rule.” Annual family vacations explored the states, always traveling top notch, staying at luxurious campgrounds (which were known as having bathroom facilities) in our pop up camper. He truly had a gift of fixing anything, or at least giving it up to 2 weeks of trying. It amazed us all what could be done with a roll of duct tape and plastic. For a man with decades of equilibrium challenges, it truly excited his wife’s blood pressure each time upon a ladder for this or that…and he appeared to do it quite often. Amid all these health and life challenges, their marital unity blessed us all with inspiration of a true marriage. Preceding him in death were his parents, Thomas and Vivian Riley. His survivors include his beloved wife, Mary, and mother-

Continued from Page 1 Given past appropriations, it is unlikely the commission will come anywhere close to fully funding Sutton’s request. Last year’s county contribution to the shelter was only $1,500. Presiding Commissioner Robert Schieber said Wednesday he expected the county to support shelter operations “to the best of our ability.” Sutton said he based his request on the society’s goal of deriving about half its revenue from governmental sources and the rest from donations and fundraisers. The city of Maryville already contributes $112,000

a year to the shelter, whose staff consists of one fulltime operations manager and approximately ten parttime employees, most of whom earn minimum wage. Ninety percent of all shelter spending goes for salaries, Sutton said. In past years the shelter has hovered on the verge of fiscal collapse. Currently, however, Sutton said the facility is operating “a little bit above water” thanks to an increase in private donations late last year coupled with an upswing in the number of animal adoptions. “We had a very good adoption rate this fall and got down to about 50 dogs,” Sutton said, adding that the

Professor arraigned Continued from Page 1 more than 5 grams of marijuana and was in possession of more than 35 grams of the drug at the time of his arrest. After nearly an hour of testimony, Dietrich bound the case over to Circuit Court, where Rouch is to appear before Presiding Circuit Judge Roger Prokes on February 3. The defendant, who remains free on $25,000 bond, was represented

during the proceeding by attorney Robert Sundell. Northwest Missouri State University’s Board of Regents formally accepted Rouch’s resignation from the faculty on Oct. 25. If convicted on both counts, Rouch could serve a total of more than 20 years in prison. Age 57 at the time of his arrest last year, Rouch joined the Northwest faculty in 1992 and taught classes in television production and digital technology.

Dems pick leaders JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri House Democrats have shuffled several of their leadership positions. Chris Kelly, of Columbia, was elected Tuesday as caucus chairman to replace Steve Webb, of Florissant. Webb resigned his House seat last month while facing criminal charges. Kelly had been the caucus vice chairman and served 12 years in the House during the 1980s and 1990s. He

also has served in the House since 2009. Democrats’ new caucus vice chairwoman will be Gina Mitten, of St. Louis. She was elected to the state House in 2012. The minority party also chose Rory Ellinger, of University City, as the caucus policy chairman. He replaces Judy Morgan, of Kansas City, who stepped down from leadership but continues to serve in the House.

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING

canine population at the shelter, located on Depot Street just south of Halsey, has since swelled to more than 70 animals crowded into 55 kennels. The facility is also home to approximately 100 abandoned cats and kittens. Sutton said the society’s board of directors is looking at a number of possibilities for raising more funds, including a charity golf tournament and the establishment of some sort of society-managed business. Also on Wednesday, the commissioners heard from Arnie Kreek, interim director of the Northwest Missouri Regional Council

of Governments, who presented the board with a recently completed hazard mitigation plan. The report includes a variety of data required for grant applications related to preparations for or recovery from flooding, tornadoes, severe storms and other natural calamities. Kreek said information in the report will likely be used by such entities as the Maryville R-II School District, which is currently seeking a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant to help pay for a proposed high school gymnasium designed to do double duty as a community disaster shelter.

MISSOURI CAPITOL NEWS Dems drop auditor bid JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The lone Missouri Democrat with announced plans to challenge Republican state Auditor Tom Schweich is dropping out of the race. State Rep. Jay Swearingen told The Associated Press on Wednesday he has been unable to get the necessary support and that fundraising has been an issue. Swearingen’s decision to leave the auditor’s race comes about a month before candidates can begin filing. The state auditor is the lone statewide office appearing on the November ballot in Missouri. Schweich was elected auditor in 2010 after defeating the Democratic incumbent. He reported raising nearly $239,000 during the past three from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31 and reported starting the year with more than $662,000 in his campaign bank account. Swearingen is a two-term state House member from Kansas City. He first was elected to the Legislature in 2010 and has served on committees dealing with tax policy, professional registration, financial institutions and economic development.

Group hopes to cut costs JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A group of Missouri lawmakers joined health care advocates to outline a plan aimed at reducing the cost of pill-form chemotherapy. The proposed legislation would require insurance companies to levy the same out-of-pocket costs for oral chemotherapy as they do for the traditional intravenous treatment. The American Cancer Society said Wednesday that insurance companies can charge higher co-payments and deductibles for chemotherapy pills. The proposed measure would impact only health plans that provide coverage for both types of treatments. Rep. Sheila Solon, a Republican from Blue Springs, says the legislation would not increase premiums for cancer patients.

KCP&L proposal should aid area

St. Joseph News-Press

Utilities are expected to operate in the public’s interest, but whether they always do is a subject for much public debate. Sometimes a utility’s profit motives are suspect, as in cases where rate requests seem both too frequent and excessive. Other times, it is not motives but actions that draw criticism, such as when a utility decides to make long-term improvements and wants current ratepayers to pay for these long before they come online. This past week’s news from Kansas City Power & Light appears, on the surface, to not warrant criticism on either of these two critical points. As reported, KCP&L intends to expand access to a major energy-efficiency program that gives rebates and credits to customers who buy moreefficient appliances and lighting, recycle older appliances and replace older heating and cooling systems. This expansion will affect a large number of Kansas City area customers who had been shut out of this program. The other big step, and the one of greatest interest locally, is the utility’s plan to buy 400 megawatts of power from two new wind turbine projects, including one to be built in Holt County, Mo. This step forward will boost the utility’s wind energy commitments by more than 40 percent and put its total wind portfolio at 936 megawatts of power. The two wind projects — the second is in Coffey County, Kan. — are expected to be built by other companies, who in turn will sell power to KCP&L under 20-year agreements. No rate increase is associated with the project announcements and KCP&L says it has no plan for rate increases in the next two years. That last point is a big one for ratepayers in the northern district that formerly operated as St. Joseph Light and Power and then as Aquila. These customers rightly feel like they have been battered over the past decade by rate increases needed for infrastructure improvements, including the expensive Iatan II coal-fired plant. KCP&L spokeswoman Katie McDonald notes all of the projects announced last week will contribute to keeping costs and rates about $1 billion lower over the next 20 years than they would have been otherwise. About $600 million of this is attributed to savings due to wind power that reduces the need to use other fuels. Northwest Missouri has been welcoming of environmentally friendly wind power projects for years. Now, the region’s largest utility is making a substantial and long-term investment in this resource that is so available right here in its back yard. Like any ratepayer, we must reserve judgment on how this resource development ultimately is managed and paid for. But for now, we are hopeful.

Cobbler’s Column

Really? What ever happened to personal responsibility? One of my favorite Saturday Night Live skits of recent years has been “Really? with Seth and Amy.” SNL veterans Seth Meyers — soon to be Jimmy Fallon’s successor on Late Night — and Amy Poehler — now of Parks & Recreation and Golden Globes fame — take a seemingly ridiculous topic and ask the question, “Really?”. If you read Wednesday’s Maryville Daily Forum, you noticed the story at the top of the front page about the city council’s re-examining the issue of bar-entry age limits: Should people under the age of 21 and over the age of 19 be allowed to enter drinking establishments? Also on the top of the front page was a response from Northwest Missouri State University Student Senate President Cody Uhing. In Uhing’s response to the apparent change of direction in the council’s thinking, the student body leader said, “While a bar may not be the safest environment, it is better than a(n) unsupervised house party.” To that position, I have to ask (you guessed it), Really? Really, Cody Uhing? It is safer in a bar than in the average college residence? Really? Who’s watching you the rest of the time? I know the bars don’t start hopping for the college crowd until after 11:00 p.m. The burden of supervision should not rest on the shoulders of local bar owners nor should it rest in the hands of city government. Let’s be honest — it doesn’t matter how hard bar owners and their staff attempt to prevent underage drinking in their establishments, underage patrons are going to drink before and af-

ter they arrive. Anyone who disagrees has obviously never been an underage patron in a bar. The methods of “beating the system” are elaborate and endless. College kids, drunk or not, are smart. Trust me, they will figure it out. I cut my underage drinking teeth on Pine Street in Warrensburg, so I know a thing or two about drinking in a bar when you’re not supposed to be drinking in a bar.

Speaking of how smart they are, they are also capable of making good decisions. I will admit that I personally chose not to make good decisions for much of my college career, but I do believe I would have been capable had I had the necessary fortitude to do so. But in an environment where personal responsibility should be at the top of the curriculum list for 18-to20-year-olds, we are, in effect, tell-

ing these students “we know we can’t trust you to make good decisions, so we are going to herd you into a bar — a bar — so someone else can babysit you.” Something just doesn’t quite sound right about that to me. Oh, and I’ve heard the argument about how the city of Maryville should come up with things for the college kids to do. Really? Exactly how does that fall within that governing body’s list of things to do? How does it fall within their list of qualifications? You’re telling me you’re going to let a bunch of old people (sorry guys, I’m one of you) pick out things for young people to attend and participate in? Really? I’m forecasting attendance to be low for whatever shape that particular activity might take. That being said I know the City does feel a responsibility to play a part in solving this problem. Even if it’s not within their responsibility, it is in the best interest of the entire community to embrace the university population and, to a degree, cater to their desires. It is encouraging to see the cooperation between university and city officials developing on this issue. Hopefully, together with student representation they can figure this thing out. Sorry I was a little hard on you earlier there Cody — you and your constituents are vital to finding a solution. I’m convinced that a vital ingredient in the recipe for that solution has to include a measure of personal responsibility on the part of each individual university student. Really.

Bullying just doesn’t make a lot of sense this day and age

Bullying seems to be all around us nowadays. From school to social media, bullying has become the hate crime of this decade. And I don’t know why. Why is it so important for a person to make another person feel bad about themselves? Is it their upbringing? Is it their inability to figure out how to be a human being like the rest of us? I don’t know, and it makes me physically ill knowing that my sons and daughter may be on the receiving end of it some day. Notice I didn’t say on the giving end when talking about my children. That’s mainly because they will be taught that every person in this world is worth my kids’ time and effort to make them feel wanted and accepted. This was one of the best things that my parents ever taught me, and I plan on carrying on that legacy. Anyway, as a parent, I have this fear that my kids might become the ones bullied. That being said, what do I do as a parent to help them through it? Do I use my own experiences? I have felt the pain and agony of being on the receiving end of hateful bullying. I have been called FAT, GAY, STUPID, or any other combination of colorful language that would get my publisher in a tizzy if I put them in my column. The way I got around it was to join

the football team. In Texas, football players are revered in the hallways. Although I still experienced some of that same hateful bullying, I knew that 80-plus other players had my back. But what about that kid in the back of the room who is a little different

Gary Darling from the rest of us? How does he get through the torture of one more day of pain? Especially on social media, where cowards can hide behind their monitors and put this hate speech out there for the whole world to see. This isn’t the way human beings are supposed to act — and it is time that we put a stop to it. Maybe if all of us realized there is

not one of us who is better than that person next to us. But why stop there? How about making sure your kids know this too, and let’s stop the bullying all together. Let them know that this kid that looks different from them may need a kind word to make it through the day. How many times have we heard from those who attempted suicide that if someone had just acknowledged them, they wouldn’t have tried it? It just doesn’t make sense. Our time in this world is way too short to have to experience painful words in that way, or be that lonely. We all matter. We all have a purpose. Maybe more people need to step off their high horses and realize they aren’t any better than the person they ridicule. For me, I am going to continue to make sure that my kids recognize that we all matter, that being friends with that one kid who no one else is befriending isn’t such a bad thing. How about it, all parents of young kids? Are you with me? Let’s make the next generation, a generation where bullying or cyberbullying is just a foot note in our weird history. I dream of that day when all kids will feel wanted. When all kids will feel needed. How about you? Do you want that world? I know I do. For my kids sake, as well as all of yours. Let’s make it happen.

NRCS sets conservation program cutoff

Cover crops offer grazing

CAROLYN SCHLUETER/MO. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE

Cattle graze at Shamrock Angus Ranch in Montgomery City, Mo. A variety of cover crops offer profit potential between crop harvest and spring planting, and benefit both land and cattle. Rob Kallenbach, MU Extension forage agronomist spoke on these benefits on Wednesday, Jan. 15. at the Hundley-Whaley Center in Albany during the three-state beef tour.

Local beef tour focuses on ways winter cover crops offer grazing By DUANE DAILEY MU Extension

Winter cover crops on corn and soybean acres are a natural fit for crop-andbeef farms. Cover crops offer beef profit potential for the time between fall crop harvest and spring planting, said Rob Kallenbach, MU Extension forage agronomist. Kallenbach spoke Wednesday evening, Jan. 15, at the University of Missouri Hundley-Whaley Center, Albany, as part of the three-state tour. The tour had stops in Creston, Iowa; Albany, Mo.; and Beatrice, Neb. Shawn Deering, MU Extension regional livestock specialist, Albany, coordinated the local meeting at the Hundley-Whaley Center, a part of the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. In an interview prior to the event, Kallenbach said he sees a natural fit for cover crops with spring-calving cow herds in northern Missouri, southern Iowa and eastern Nebraska. The winter cover, which can be grasses, legumes, brassicas or a mix, offers

extended grazing into winter for stocker calves. Instead of selling calves in October, traditional market time for calves, they can be kept another 65 to 85 days. Another 100 pounds of gain can be added to the calves. “Think what that means at today’s calf prices,” Kallenbach said. In past stocker-calf budgets, extension specialists would plug in a dollar a pound for calculations. Kallenbach said now those gains can be worth double that. Green growing forages offer some of the best nutrition for growing calves. Kallenbach said he wants producers to realize the variety of cover crops available, and the best livestock to capitalize on that growth. In a grazing study at Linneus, Mo., MU bred heifers gained body condition and two pounds a day on winter cover crops, he said. Cover crops are being promoted for soil conservation and improved soil health. “Planting cover crops is not cost-free,” Kallenbach said. Without grazing gains, that cost comes out of the

crop budget. Long-recommended winter grazing species make excellent cover crops, he said. For livestock producers, this is not a new concept. Cereal grains, whether wheat, rye or oats, are good cover crops and livestock feed. Wheat offers an added benefit of a grain crop, if grazing livestock is removed early. “There will be little loss of wheat-yield potential,” Kallenbach said. “Rye doesn’t offer much demand as a cereal crop, but it offers more grazing than wheat.” Oats offer grazing, and easy transition to spring crop planting as the cereal winterkills. There’s no herbicide expense next spring. Legumes add nitrogen to the soil and protein to the grazing mix. However, they are slow starters and add little fall grazing. Brassicas—turnips or grazing radishes—make excellent feed. Cattle like them so much they can overeat, causing bloat. They do well when mixed with grasses to dilute the diet, or when strip grazing is used to control eating

hours. Cover crops added to a cropping system complicate management. The crops must be seeded early enough to get a good start on growth before winter. That may mean aerial seeding into soybeans before leaf drop, for example. Then there is timing of ending grazing and killing the forage crop before spring crop planting. It works. It just takes close timing, which may be delayed by weather. For livestock-crop farmers, it’s a natural fit. Getting a dollar return, in addition to more intangible benefits, makes financial sense, Kallenbach said. Also, grazing cover crops requires management of livestock fencing and water. Strip grazing improves efficiency and adds pounds of gain per acre. The spring forage growth works best when harvested as haylage. That is bales wrapped in plastic, which allows ensiling the highmoisture spring forage. Attention to management adds quick economic value to a conservation practice that offers slow returns in saving and building soil.

MARYVILLE, Mo. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced a cut-off date of Feb. 21 for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and four tie-in initiatives. “EQIP is a versatile program that helps all types of land users throughout the state in their efforts to preserve the quality of the natural resources upon which all life depends,” said J.R. Flores, Missouri state conservationist. EQIP is the agency’s largest Farm Bill conservation program. It agricultural producers improve water quality, build healthier soil, improve grazing and forest lands, conserve energy, enhance organic operations, and achieve other environmental benefits. NRCS accepts applications for EQIP on a continuous basis, but producers must file applications by Feb. 21 to be considered for the next round of application funding. Applications filed after Feb. 21 will be considered in the next ranking period if funds are available. EQIP offers farmers, ranchers, and forestland managers a variety of options to conserve natural resources while boosting production on their lands. EQIP also provides financial assistance for a variety

of conservation activities, such as irrigation water management, reduced tillage, field buffers, rotational grazing systems, animal waste management systems, and much more. More than $11.8 million is available through EQIP, including $100,000 each for the On-Farm Energy, Seasonal High Tunnel, and Organic Initiatives. An additional $9.8 million is designated for the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI). MRBI is available through EQIP in 19 watersheds in north-central and southeastern Missouri. It provides incentives for farmers to use farming practices that can improve the health of the Mississippi River Basin, including water quality and wildlife habitat. Through MRBI, NRCS and its conservation partners help farmers who voluntarily implement conservation practices that avoid, control and trap runoff, while continuing to maintain agricultural productivity and improve wildlife habitat. Producers should visit www.mo.nrcs.usda.gov, or contact the Maryville NRCS office at 660-5827125, to check eligible watersheds on their land. Nodaway County applicants can sign up at the Maryville NRCS service center at 502 W. South Hills Drive.

Winter means AOR# 200522 planning time ATTENTION NEWSPAPERS for gardeners IMPORTANT! By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

There may still be snow on the ground, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start thinking about planting a garden this spring. Rego Jones, who teaches horticulture at Northwest Missouri State University and operates a greenhouse just north of town, offered some tips this week for green-thumbers looking to get a head start on the spring growing season. “This is the time of the year that everybody is going through the seed catalogs and picking out everything,” Jones said. “My first word of advice would be to limit yourself a little bit on what you have room to grow.” Too many prospective gardeners, Jones said, flip through a brochure or go online and start longing to put everything in the ground that appeals to them. But indulging such green-thumb fancies, he added, can lead to the frustration of a garden that’s simply too big to handle. While dreaming of that perfect garden this winter, Jones advised, keep limitations having to do with time and space firmly in mind. “No. 2, don’t get in too big of a hurry,” Jones said. “Every January we get people calling me asking me what to do with their tomato plants that they’ve started growing inside early. Well, all of my tomato plants are still in the seed packets.” Jones said novice gardeners often don’t gain as much ground by planting early as they think they will because the later many kinds of produce are planted the faster they grow. “A lot of warm-weather crops, like tomatoes and peppers, won’t get planted outside until May,” Jones said. “Earlier crops, like peas, lettuce and radishes, like the cooler weather. It’s not unusual for people to throw lettuce seeds on top of the snow so they can work their way down to the soil. You can produce some of the best lettuce crops you’ve ever had that way.” For folks fantasizing about working in a garden this spring and summer, but who don’t have time to plant one at home, Jones said there will be a new opportunity for getting one’s

A new community garden, under construction for several months north of the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, should open this spring or early this summer. “We’ll have a sensory garden where people can walk by and touch and smell different types of plant material,” Jones said. “We will also have some raised beds that are handicapped accessible.”

Lady Trojans cruise into Fairfax finals By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

After receiving a first-round bye in the Fairfax Tournament, there were questions whether or not the Nodaway-Holt Lady Trojans would have some rust going into their semifinal contest against Craig/Fairfax. After one quarter, those questions were put to rest. Nodaway-Holt used its three-quartercourt press to cause numerous turnovers, and Kalli Devers’ eight first-quarter points paced the Lady Trojans to a 15-1 first quarter lead and they never looked back on their way to a convincing 63-20 victory. Nodaway-Holt expanded its lead to 3314 by halftime. Nine points from Megan

Rosenbohm and six from Frankie Lemar paced the Lady Trojan offensive attack. Rosenbohm dropped in nine more points in the third quarter, as Nodaway-Holt outscored Craig/Fairfax 20-3 in the quarter, stretching their lead to 53-17. Rosenbohm led the Lady Trojans with 22 points, while Devers added 16 and Lemar chipped in with 10. “It was hard to find much fault with that performance. Our starters played well, our younger girls continue to come off the bench and contribute, and our posts stepped up and did a better job defensively,” Lady Trojan coach David Carroll said. Nodaway-Holt will play Tarkio in Friday night’s championship contest. Game time is 8 p.m.

Lady Eagles advance to consolation final By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor

After losing a tough four-five matchup in the first round of the Stanberry Invitational, the Jefferson Lady Eagles bounced back Wednesday night with a 38-19 victory over Worth County in the consolation bracket. The Lady Eagles established dominance early on both ends, using the press and their size advantage to push out to a 12-4 first quarter lead. “I felt like we came out and took advantage of (the fact that) they had to play last night and we had a couple days off,” Jefferson head coach Tyler Pedersen said. The size advantage was exploited more in the second quarter as sophomore post Jessie Henry scored seven of her game-high 14 points in the quarter and Jefferson went into the locker room with a 24-7 lead, which Pedersen said could’ve been larger. “I felt like we still missed a lot of opportunities early on,” he said. “We missed some bunnies we usually make and I think that contributed to them hanging around in the second half.” The tide turned in the third quarter as Worth County used its quickness to its advantage and worked the give-and-go to the

tune of 10 third quarter points while holding Jefferson to just a single layup from freshman guard Kelsi McQuinn. “Those girls are quick and that’s something that we talked about coming into this game,” Pedersen said. “We just weren’t playing with the intensity that we needed to and I think it was a combination of letting our offensive woes affect us on the defensive side. We weren’t hitting a lot of shots in that half.” The press went back on in the fourth quarter and the Lady Eagles quickly reestablished their lead, going on a 12-2 run in the final quarter, including five from Henry, to reach the final margin. “We picked up full court and that kind of got us in gear a little bit and we got some points in transition,” Pedersen said. McQuinn finished with seven points and junior Danae Schieber scored nine, all in the first half. Jefferson will play at 5:30 p.m. Friday against host Stanberry, which defeated Albany Wednesday night, for fifth place. “The important thins is we get to play three games in this tournament,” Pedersen said. “We get to play a team that beat us last week, so we get another shot at them and that’s always exciting.”

Northeast Nodaway boys, girls fall in first round BETHANY, Mo. — Both Northeast Nodaway teams will play Friday night on the consolation side of the bracket at the South Harrison.

South Nodaway eliminated from Stanberry Tournament By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

The South Nodaway Longhorns fell behind early against King City and never recovered. Longhorns head coach Dustin Skoglund took a quick timeout early in the first quarter after King City jumped out to a 9-0 lead. “I just talked about the game plan,” Skoglund said. “We anticipated that they would be able to push the ball a little bit in transition — they did the last time. We were able to take that way from them (last time) and we only lost a four-point game. I was upset that we allowed them to do that and I tried to adjust that.” The Horns were never able to get back in the game after falling behind early. The

Longhorns ended up losing 56-37. “Our ineffectiveness in stopping the ball in transition made it difficult for us to close the gap,” Skoglund said. Senior Dalton Murphy led the Longhorns in scoring with 10 points. Sophomore Dalton Warner scored eight points and Seniors Zeb Coleman and Damien Wilmore both added six points. “I felt like the boys played pretty hard,” Skoglund said. “They were on the floor for some loose balls. The effort was there and we out rebounded them. You’ve got to take the positives and build upon them and throw away the negatives.” With the loss, the Longhorns have been eliminated from the Stanberry Tournament. Their next game will be in Ravenwood against Northwest Nodaway on Jan. 21. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m.

Rockets reach finals By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

West Nodaway and Nodaway-Holt played in the late game in Wednesday night action at the Fairfax Invitational Tournament, and the fans who stuck around were treated to an exciting back-and-forth contest won by the Rockets, 56-49. West Nodaway grabbed a 14-13 first quarter lead. Trevor Meyer paced the Rockets with seven points in the quarter, while Nodaway-Holt’s Nick Patterson countered with five points. West Nodaway, the No. 2 seed in the tourney, stretched its lead to 26-21 by halftime, as Jaden Gillenwater scored six points in the quarter. Nodaway-Holt started getting the ball inside to their post players in quarter No. 3, and cut the West Nodaway lead to 40-37. Cody Schniedermeyer and Devin Albertson scored six and five points, respectively, in the quarter for the Trojans. The fourth quarter was a back and forth affair, and two big plays by West Nodaway proved to be the difference in the game. Zach Harris made a big play for West Nodaway with under four minutes to go,

as he picked up a steal near mid-court, and took the ball strong to the basket for two and was fouled on the play. He converted the free throw for a clutch three-point play. With the game tied at 48-48 with :58 to go, Gillenwater grabbed an offensive rebound and got the put-back basket and got fouled. He also converted the free throw for a three-point play to give West Nodaway the lead for good. “When we rebounded, we pulled away. When we didn’t do a good job on the boards, Nodaway-Holt got back in the game,” Rocket coach Roger Johnson said. “The two big three-point plays by Gillenwater and Harris and the steady play of Ryan Evans were the keys to our victory.” “It was a night of missed opportunities for us,” Trojan coach Terry Petersen said. “Our missed shots and turnovers came at crucial times. I was proud of how our kids battled all night, and came back when we were down.” Nodaway-Holt will play Tarkio in the third place game Friday night at 6:30 p.m., while West Nodaway earned a berth in Saturday night’s tournament championship game versus Rock Port. Game time is set for 8 p.m.

Judge’s decision means NFL may have to pay more By RICK FREEMAN AP sports writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL may be on the hook for more money than it expected if a federal judge can’t be convinced that its $765 million concussion settlement with more than 4,500 former players will be adequate to pay out benefits over the 65-year life of the agreement. The deal hit a snag Tuesday when a federal judge asked both parties to back up their assertions that the agreement negotiated over several months is fair and appropriate. U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody denied a motion that was meant to serve as a preliminary approval for the settlement, seeking more information from the parties. She wrote that she was “primar-

ily concerned that not all retired NFL football players who ultimately receive a qualifying diagnosis or their (families) ... will be paid,” and that the lawyers for both parties have not addressed those concerns. Given the judge’s ruling, the two sides will need to offer more evidence the fund will be sufficient or possibly have the NFL add money to the pot. Otherwise, they may be left to start over. “We are confident that the settlement is fair and adequate, and look forward to demonstrating that to the court,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Meanwhile, former players looking to receive assistance for the injuries they sustained while playing in the league will have to wait to be compensated. The two sides agreed in late Au-

gust, just before the season kicked off and the issue largely went to the back burner, awaiting Brody’s decision. The weekly accounting of brain injuries on the field, despite efforts to reduce them, continued to make headlines. Brody pointed out that the class of approximately 20,000 could overwhelm the fund, even if only 10 percent of its members file claims against the $675 million set aside to pay claims, working out to $337,500 per player. The maximum payments in the settlement include $5 million for a younger retiree with Lou Gehrig’s disease, $3 million for serious dementia, and $25,000 for an 80-year-old with early dementia. Sol Weiss, a lead lawyer for the ex-players, remained confident the class-action settlement will ultimately be approved.

“I am very confident that the (actuarial) people we used are right, and that there will be enough money to cover these claims for 65 years,” Weiss said. The remainder of the $765 settlement is being earmarked for neurological testing and education. Lawyers will be paid on top of that by the NFL, meaning the suit would cost the league $900 million — or about 10 percent of one year’s annual revenues. Brody also took issue with another part of the original agreement, writing in a footnote that she was concerned that the agreement prevents participants from suing the NCAA and other amateur football organizations. “I’m not sure why the NFL would insist on that,” said Gabe Feldman, a law professor who directs the sports law program at the

Tulane University Law School. More than 4,500 former players filed the suit, some accusing the league of fraud for its handling of concussions. They include former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and Super Bowlwinning quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia, among others. Brody’s hand-picked mediator, former federal judge Layn R. Phillips, led several months of negotiations last year and has called the deal fair to both sides. If and when the parties can satisfy all of Brody’s concerns, she would then give preliminary approval to the settlement. Following that would be a hearing at which people with objections can speak and have their issues addressed before final settlement and payments.

Vin Diesel in Riddick (2013)

Riddick left me out in a barren wasteland Riddick By Gary Darling Staff Writer

I don’t usually go into a movie starring Vin Diesel expecting Shakespeare especially with his Riddick/Pitch Black trilogy. I loved Pitch Black (2000), the first of the trilogy. I thought it was underestimated and unexpected when I first viewed it. The film caught me completely off guard. Was it high quality film-making? No, but it entertained me from beginning to end. Then there was the film Chronicles of Riddick (2004). Now I have been criticized by some of my fellow nerds out there who think I judged that film too harshly. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the concept they were trying to feed me. It was just too different from the first film.

Enter Riddick (2013). I was hoping that the filmmaker, director David Twohy, would take our favorite shined-eye anti-hero Riddick (Vin Diesel) back to his roots. And Mr. Twohy did just that. This film picks up five years after Chronicles of Riddick. Riddick, now Lord Marshall of the Necromonger fleet, decides to refuse to swear into the Necromonger faith which has caused dissent amongst his subjects. Uneasy in his role anyway, Riddick strikes a deal with Commander Vaako (Karl Urban) relinquishing the title of Lord Marshall in exchange for the location of Riddick’s homeworld of Furya. Vaako agrees and sends his aide, Krone (Andreas Apergis), to deliver Riddick to Furya. Unfortunately for Riddick, Krone takes him to a different, more desolate, planet to be executed. Recognizing that this planet isn’t Furya, Riddick takes out most of the escort that brought him here.

In a last ditch effort to save himself, Krone causes a landslide that buries Riddick alive and leaves the planet. Abandoned and broken, Riddick now must get back his animalistic spirit to help him survive a planet filled with perils. Unfortunately, from the moment bounty hunters arrive on this planet, this film goes from pretty good to horrible in just a matter of moments. I enjoyed the desolation of Riddick and how he attempts to survive on the rock where Krone left him. It was exciting and intellegent. Bring in some bad acting and overthe-top villains and this film suffers because of it. The worst of these villains is Jordi Molla as Santana. His characterization was comical and left a bad taste in my mouth. Riddick had possibilities. Unfortunately the director couldn’t carry off the same brilliance he established in in the beginning throughout the film. That was too bad.

‘Grown Ups 2’ leads Razzies worst-of list

By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Grown Ups 2” is making the most noise at this year’s Golden Raspberry Awards. The silly comedy sequel about four childhood friends starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade led the Razzie lineup Tuesday with eight nominations, including worst picture, sequel, ensemble, screenplay,

lead actor for Sandler, supporting actor for Taylor Lautner, supporting actress for Salma Hayek and director for Dennis Dugan. Sandler is no a stranger to the Razzies, which launched in 1980 as a spoof of Hollywood’s awards season. He won the worst actor trophy last year for the man-child comedy “That’s My Boy,” and his 2011 cross-dressing comedy “Jack and Jill” made Razzie history the year before with a record 10 awards, with Sandler winning both

the worst actor and actress prizes. This year’s other worst-picture nominees are the Wild West romp “The Lone Ranger” starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, Tyler Perry’s holiday comedy “A Madea Christmas,” sci-fi comingof-age story “After Earth” starring Will and Jaden Smith, and comedy anthology “Movie 43” featuring the likes of Kate Winslet, Richard Gere, Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry. “After Earth,” ‘’A Madea Christmas” and “Movie 43” are tied with six nods each. In addition to worst picture, screenplay and ensemble nominations, they’re also in worst actor, actress and supporting actor slots for Will and Jaden Smith of “After Earth,” Perry and Larry the Cable Guy of “A Madea Christmas,” and Berry and Naomi Watts of “Movie 43.” The Razzies announcement comes ahead of Thursday’s Oscar nominations. Winners for the 34th annual Razzies will be announced March 1, the night before the 86th annual Academy Awards. While far less star-studded than other award shows, past winners like Berry and Sandra Bullock have sometimes shown up in person to claim their gold spray-painted prizes.

MOUND CITY, Mo. — ­ The Lincoln Continentals, Lincoln Nebraska’s Premier Men’s A Cappella Chorus, will perform in concert on Sunday, February 9, 2014, at 3 p.m. at the State Theater in Mound City, Missouri. This program, “Red Hearts and Blue Eyes”, is sponsored by the State Theater Arts Council, Missouri Arts Council and Nodaway Valley Bank. Tickets are available at all Mound City banks, Bank CBO in Oregon or by calling the theater box office at 660-442-5909. Adult tickets are $10.00 in advance; $12.00 at the door; students are $5.00 and this is a season ticket event. Founded in 1946, The Lincoln Continentals are one of approximately eight hundred chapters of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS) throughout the United States and Canada. They have consistently maintained their ranking as one of the best barbershop choruses in the region. Last October, at the BHS Central States District Competition in Kansas City they won the Plateau AA championship. 2013 was a banner year for the Continentals. They grew the chorus with a dozen new members. Under the direction of Todd Krier, who joined the chorus in January, they also developed an exciting new repertoire that included barbershop as well as other a cappella styles. They performed at sixteen different events including concerts, competitions, University of Nebraska sporting events, religious services and public dedications. For their Mound City concert, the Continental’s Chorus and Quartets will perform a variety of songs, including many made famous by Frank Sinatra.

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr to perform at Grammys NEW YORK (AP) — The Grammys weekend is shaping up to be a Beatles weekend. The Recording Academy announced Tuesday that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will perform at the Jan. 26 awards show in Los Angeles. The Beatles will be honored at the Academy’s Special Merits Awards the day before, and a day after the big show, the iconic group will be the center of a performance special featuring Eurythmics and other acts playing Beatles hits. McCartney’s nominations include best rock song and music film. Other Grammy performers include Taylor Swift, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Kendrick Lamar, Robin Thicke and Katy Perry. Sara Bareilles will sing with Carole King, while Stevie Wonder, Daft Punk, Nile Rodgers and Pharrell will perform together. The Grammys will air live on CBS from the Staples Center.

Prince to appear on ‘New Girl’ after Super Bowl PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Fox’s post-Super Bowl party will include Prince making a guest appearance on the comedy “New Girl.” In an episode of the show that will air directly after the big game next month, Zooey Deschanel’s character is invited to a mansion party hosted by Prince — a party her friends are determined to crash. Fox will also air an episode of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” that night after “New Girl,” with the show fresh off its Golden Globe award for best comedy. The Super Bowl is traditionally the most-watched TV event of the year, so the time slots after it are considered prime real estate.

How many holes in one were there on the PGA tour last season? Do you like overtricks? The answer depends upon circumstances. If you are playing in a pair event

your goals high, and get ready for action. Consultation with experts will enable you to cut corners and reach your destination quickly. Mix business with pleasure. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you feel uncertain, step back and observe. The more information you gather, the easier it will be to make a tough choice. Refuse to get upset about matters you cannot change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An emotional matter will skyrocket if you don’t control the situation. Prepare to make last-minute changes if it will help you avoid an unsavory entanglement. Focus on personal relationships. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take steps to ensure that things go the way you plan. Don’t leave anything to chance, and take steps to correct any situation that you feel has the potential to head in the wrong direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Too much, too fast leads to disaster. Watch what everyone else is doing and protect your interests. Empty promises can be expected. Get what you want in writing, or take a pass. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Let your mind wander and your imagination take over. Take a look at your friendships, lifestyle and home base. An unconventional arrangement will inspire you to be more adventuresome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -An investment opportunity may look like a sure thing, but look before you leap. You aren’t likely to have all the facts required to make an educated choice. Don’t take a risk.

or a board-a-match teams, you usually try to gather as many overtricks as possible. But in other forms of the game, you should concentrate on making your contract. True, if you can go after an overtrick without any risk, do so. However, trying for 20 or 30 more points and losing a 300-point or 500-point game bonus does not make sense. In this deal, how should South play safely in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest spade? South starts with eight top tricks: three spades, three diamonds and two clubs. The extra trick is bound to come from clubs. And if that finesse is working, there will be at least one overtrick in South’s future. A careless declarer would look no further. He would take the first trick on the board with the spade queen and run the club jack (or play a club to his ace, return to the board in spades or diamonds, then

take the finesse). Here, though, that ought to cost the contract. West should shift to the heart queen, and the defenders can take one club and four hearts. With East on lead, dummy’s heart king is safe from attack. So South should cash his two top clubs. Here the queen drops and South gets that overtrick. But if East started with queen-third or -fourth, the contract would be safe. There were 30 holes in one on the PGA tour last year.
