Fifth-grader Myers is local geography champ
Alex Myers By TONY BROWN News editor
Can you name the flat intermontane area located at an elevation of about 10,000 feet above sea level in the central Andes? Chances are Alex Myers can. That’s why Alex, the son of Randy and Shari Myers,
is the first Maryville fifthgrader ever to win the local level of the National Geographic Bee. Thirty-five students entered this week’s the preliminary round, which was held Tuesday at Maryville Middle School. Eleven finalists then competed for top local honors Wednesday night. In addition to Alex, the other finalists were Sam Steinmeyer, Chance Hermelink, Cailee Burg, Austin Drake, Chad Sullivan, Caleb Feuerbacher, Jacob Reuter, Kelsi Dredge, Alex Gotszling and Tara Hull The National Geographic Bee (formerly the National Geography Bee) is an annual geography contest sponsored by the National Geographic Society that is open to students in fourth
through eighth grades. As a school-level winner, Alex will now take a written test in an attempt to qualify for statewide competition this spring. Only the top100 local champions make the cut. After that, winners from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and the U.S. territories will gather for the national finals in late Mary at the the National Geographic Society headquarters in the nation’s capital. The first-place winner there receives a $50,000 college scholarship as well as a lifetime membership in the society. Since 2009 the national champion has also been awarded a trip for two to the Galapagos Islands. And that flat intermontane area in the Andes? It’s called the Altiplano.

Top: Horace Mann Laboratory School fourth graders look on as illustrator Brad Sneed gives a drawing exhibition during a Wednesday assembly at Northwest Missouri State University. Left: Pictured are two of the 27 books Brad Sneed has illustrated during his 25-year career.
Brad Sneed faced a major decision in junior high school. There were three occupations that interested him: football player, cowboy and artist. Thirty years later, the veteran children’s book illustrator appears to have made the right choice. Sneed, who usually works with watercolors to create his vivid, richly imaginative images, visited Northwest Missouri State University
on Wednesday and spoke with four groups of Horace Mann Laboratory School youngsters as well as university literature practicum students. He discussed his background, the process he uses to complete his work, and then did some quick sketches for each group. Sneed’s presentations at Northwest were arranged through a collaborative effort by members of the literature education program and Horace Mann art teacher Erin
Oehler. Sneed said timing was everything at the beginning of his career as an illustrator. “I was very fortunate in that I graduated from Kansas University in 1989, then took my portfolio to New York and visited several publishers. Within a month of returning home, I received a call from one particular publisher, got the job, and have been busy ever since,” Sneed said. “I was fortunate See SNEED, Page 3
Newspaper, Maryville have changed with times By JIM FALL
Executive editor
Changing Forum
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The Maryville Daily Forum sign is shown circa 1955 hanging over the entryway to the newspaper’s office at 414 N. Main, current location of The Pub. The former Elvalee Donaldson, a journalism student at the University of Missouri, submitted an assessment of the newspaper’s use of photographs — and her impressions of her hometown — for a class project. Both focal points of her report have changed over the past 58 years.
In 1955, when Elvalee Donaldson was a student at the University of Missouri School of Journalism enrolled in an advanced press photography class, she wrote a report on her hometown newspaper’s use of photographs. She was not kind in her assessment of the Maryville Daily Forum’s photographic efforts, describing the newspaper as “not picture-minded, not in the least.“ “The Daily Forum is dragging and dragging badly,” she said in her report, which received an “S” under the old Missouri grading scale of E, S, M, I and F. “S” stood for superior.

Undoubtedly, the Maryville newspaper was “not picture-minded,” as Donaldson surmised, but neither were many of the other small-town newspapers that served communities like Maryville across northwest Missouri, a list that included such publications as the Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune, the Macon Chronicle-Herald and the Trenton RepublicanTimes. Photographs were pretty much a luxury back then, as Donaldson’s research paper indicated, and the large photographs readers are accustomed to today were the exception. Four-color photography, which anybody with a smartphone can produce these days, was, of

course, practically unheard of. Donaldson, who worked at the Daily Forum through high school and her first two tears of college, married Bob Swift and the couple enjoyed a long and successful journalism career in Florida. Elvalee reviewed restaurants for the Miami Herald’s Where magazine and Bob authored his Swift Thinking column for the newspaper. The couple returned to Maryville for a brief period, and Elvalee now lives in California. Her sister and brother-inlaw, Pat and Al Turner, are Maryville residents who formerly owned The Sport Shop. Pat was also a teacher and coach at Maryville High School.

Donaldson’s chronology of the evolution of the present-day Maryville Daily Forum is intriguing, as is her list of the staff that headquartered in the storefront now known as The Pub building (currently closed for renovation). Showing up for work at the daily were “a managing editor (Barney Alcott), a reporter, a society editor, a part-time reporter, an advertising manager and the circulation manager, in addition to the proof-reader, Linotypists and the basement (press) crew.” Her evaluation of her hometown is also revealing. “Maryville is a rural community — full of corn, hogs, and farmers, produce stores and retired business See NEWSPAPER, Page 3

The Nodaway County Commission met Friday Jan. 10. In attendance were Presiding Commissioner Robert Schieber, North District Commissioner Robert Westfall, South District Commissioner Robert Stiens and County Clerk Beth Walker. Walker announced that a public hearing on the 2014 budget will take place at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22, in
the commission chambers at the County Administration Center. Commissioners also received Missouri Department of Revenue totals for December. Receipts were as follows: sales tax, $170,429.80 ($1,352.39 lower than December 2012); use tax, $18,982,42 ($1,813.36 higher than December 2012).
Schieber and Stiens reported on their attendance at a meeting in Bethany Jan. 9 regarding attempts to secure additional funding for the 911 emergency notification system.

Officials urge tests for radon in homes By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
You cannot see, smell or taste it, but radon could be present in dangerous levels in your home, which is why Missourians are being urged this month to pick up a free testing kit. Ryan Hobart, a spokesman with the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services, said the naturally occurring gas is excreted from the soil and can rise up and get trapped in homes, schools and businesses-with potentially deadly consequences. “It’s important for them to see if it’s going on in their home, test for it, and find out if they might have levels of radon above what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
has set as a safe level,” Hobart said. Local officials are encouraging homeowners and landlords to test their properties as well. “It’s recommended that homeowners check for radon on a yearly basis,” said Capt. Phil Rickabaugh, fire division supervisor for Maryville Public Safety. “An easy way to remember is to do a radon check when you replace the batteries on your home smoke detectors each year,” Rickabaugh said. Consumers can either purchase radon detectors from any of several area stores or request a free device by calling the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services at (866) 628-9891 or by going to health. mo.gov/living/environment/radon/ testkit.php.
because the process of being hired doesn’t go that quickly for everyone.” Over the course of his 25-year career, Sneed has illustrated 27 children’s books. Each project generally takes between six and nine months to complete. While Sneed has worked with acrylic paint and mixed media, most of his projects are done using water colors. He said his style has been heavily influenced by the work of the Regionalist painter and muralist Thomas Hart Benton, a Missouri native. “Benton’s images were very strong. In my work, I try to take those same strong images and bend them or tweak them a little bit to give a more whimsical feel to my illustrations,” Sneed said. All of Sneed’s art is created with paint and a paint brush. He doesn’t use computers. One recent project undertaken by Horace Mann fourth-graders was a writing/ illustrating project, and Oehler said that created the perfect context for Sneed’s visit to campus. “Art is hard, but as with most anything else, practice certainly helps,” Oehler said. “Brad’s visit shows the students that besides being a great activity, art can also provide you with a very interesting career.”

Newspaper, Maryville changed with times Continued from Page 1 men,” she wrote. “It has a state college, with an enrollment of about 800 — no factories, no industries, because the people want none and will not allow any to move in. “The population is composed mostly of older people and school children. As soon as the community
youths finish high school, they usually leave, for the service, for college, for jobs, or just to get away from home.… Maryville has two high schools, two grade schools — a sleepy police department and a sleepy fire department. “It has a courthouse and a Main Street, many women’s clubs, no beer joints, no
dance halls, no swimming pool, three city parks, and a band concert on the east side of the square at 7:15 every Friday night all summer long. “This peaceful, but lazy little town, population 7,000, has few advancements, and actually seeks none. They have their farms, their children and
their work. They read the paper, out of habit, because they get it every night, and because they always read it. “(But) they’ve known the news since early morning when they first walked around the courthouse square.” The “meat” of her report, which assesses the Forum’s use of photographs, is just
as frank but probably not as interesting to today’s newspaper readers. The Daily Forum, during the research project period of February and March, 1955, used an average of 6.9 photographs per issue, the vast majority being one- or two-columns wide on an eight-column format, Donaldson said. Of the 218 pic-
tures that ran in the Forum during the report period, only one was four columns wide. There were 99 twocolumn photos, and 60 were one-column wide, not including 10 “thumbnails.” Most photographs appeared on either the front page or the weekly Maryville Hi-Lights page, which featured school news.

Warren Jones was born in a log cabin in Winterset, Iowa. His parents moved the family by covered wagon to the Knabb community west of Maryville a few years later, where he attended Knabb and Carden rural schools and later was an apprentice druggist in Quitman for eight years. From Quitman he came to Maryville, where he was employed by Dr. Charles D. Koch in 1899. In 1910, he became a partner in Koch’s drug store, and by 1931 when Koch retired Jones had acquired the Warren Jones Drug Store. For an amazing 74 years he was in the drug store business at the same store in the same location on the north side of the
square. He continued to operate the store until it was destroyed by fire in January, 1972, along with most of the buildings on that side of the square. Newspaper articles over several decades celebrated Jones’ long years of owning his drug store and quoted his recollection of the businesses located near him over those years. These included the GillamPierce Loan and Abstract Co. and Carstens Watch Repair Shop. The Maryville post office, just to his west, was later Holt Supply Company, and the Bee Hive Shoe Store was replaced by P.N. Hirsch Department Store just as Fields Clothing supplanted Eversole-Romasser Dry Goods Store. A restaurant and bakery were operated in a building later holding the Maryville Shoe Store . Jones had also recalled the building of the Wabash Railroad by crews comprising Irish immigrants. Jones married Nora Meyers of Quitman in 1897. She died in 1921 during the worldwide influenza epidemic that followed Wolrd Wa I. He was remarried in 1922 to Ola King. They celebrated their 50th wedding anni-

ALTERNATIVE VIEWS
Keeping civility in government
Jefferson City News Tribune
Civility and cooperation may be attainable, but are they sustainable? The question applies to various aspects of human interaction and endeavor, but it was addressed to and by government leaders last week. The occasion was the opening week of the legislative session and, more specifically, the annual Governor’s Prayer Breakfast. Featured speaker Hal Donaldson called on people to participate in a Year of Civility and Cooperation. Donaldson is a co-founder and chief executive officer of Convoy of Hope, a Springfield-based humanitarian aid organization that delivers supplies in the aftermath of disasters. “Today,” he said, “as we consider the uncertainties of life and all the things that make us feel anxious, and we look at the challenges that are facing or nation and the world, we can throw up our hands and accept defeat or we can press on together and make 2014 our defining moment.” Donaldson focuses on three principles about “loving your neighbor.” They are: moving beyond sentiment to action; cooperating to advance a shared vision; and choosing a life of generosity so others may enjoy a life of opportunity. Gov. Jay Nixon addressed those themes and their application to government. He acknowledged disagreement and debate are inherent in governing, but added: “It is vital that all of us act in a spirit of fellowship, that does not question each other’s sincerity in wanting to do what is right.” He also discussed the power of prayer and faith. “You can’t do this job alone,” the governor said. “You can’t make decisions if you’re not calling on a higher power.” In the spirit of civility and cooperation, we urge governing officials to focus on issues, not people. No one in government is trying to make things worse for Missourians; officials simply have differing opinions and proposals on how to make things better. We encourage officials to try to see things through differing, or opposing, points of view. The practice requires replacing ego with empathy, but the result is understanding. Disagreement may be an integral part of politics, but it can be practiced without being disagreeable. Editor’s note: Alternative views will appear each Friday on the Daily Forum opinion page and consists of recently published editorials from other newspapers around the state.

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
Capitalism and common sense often focus on the same things
I have been paying attention lately to the continuing jingoism being used as a substitute for serious debate in American politics. The easy thing to do is to simply put a label on your opposition and then repeat that label in every circumstance. The favorite term tossed around by too many people, especially right wing Republicans, who oppose anything that government wants to protect the everyday citizen, especially the less fortunate amongst us, is “socialism.” The favorite jingo phrase for those who call themselves “progressives” goes something like “heartless capitalist.” In past columns, I have tried to indicate that the economy of the United States, like virtually all countries today, is of a mixed nature. Countries everywhere simply use government to provide social services and legal restraints that could be called socialism because those things are government “institutions” for the collective good. What I have not noted as much is that, in pursuing a mixed economy, most countries also invite capitalistic entrepreneurial activity; indeed, most encourage it. The more successful nations of the world have an economy dependent upon both large and small businesses to drive their economies. And this is all good. Capitalistic activity is based upon self-interested motives for private gain. This is not bad, but this base motive needs to have societal oversight if it is not to create an economic system that allows or even encourages cheating and exploitation. Thus it is that governments need to regulate the activities of large businesses, especially, so that they do not distort the economy and use their strength
to exploit individuals. A well regulated business environment both supports a healthy economy and protects individuals. Examples of effective regulation and policing of the economy can be seen in recent government actions that punish large corporate wrong doing — if not the people who make those bad decisions for the corporations. Recent examples:
Richard Fulton This past November, JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest financial institutions in the world, was fined $13 billion for its questionable mortgage practices that helped perpetuate the 2008 financial crisis. The bank admitted it knew the loan securities they marketed were seriously flawed. Only $2 billion, however, was a nontax deductible fine. That means they will try to “write off” the rest.
This example is at least a slap at the bank, but how does one justify a fine for wrongful acts that then can be written off your taxes? Besides, too many corporations simply see these fines as a price of doing business. JPMorgan made $21.3 billion in 2012 alone, they could afford the fine given their profits through the period and since. Payday-lender Cash American International paid a $19 million fine for, amongst other wrong doing, issuing high loans to military personnel. Nice guys. CareFusion paid $40.1 million because it improperly marketed an antiseptic drug for “off-label” use, a health danger. SAC Capital hedge fund admitted fraud and had to pay a $1.8 billion fine and quit the activity that brought the fine. Nobody went to jail though. JPMorgan Chase paid another fine of $2.6 billion this month for its role in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. They still made a big profit last year. Last example: the European Union fined a group of global financial institutions $2.3 billion for conspiring to fix crucial benchmark interest rates. This deal cost us all more in interest rates. Capitalism, in short, is good if well regulated to protect those of us who don’t make billions, or even millions, a year and depend upon the integrity of those who do. This is not socialism, It is common sense. Dr. Richard Fulton is a Department of History, Humanities, Philosophy and Political Science professor at Northwest Missouri State University Emeritus and writes a weekly column for the Maryville Daily Forum.
LOCAL COLUMNIST
Guys are just way too tough to go to the doctor. Right? Right …
The feeling should have tipped me off that something was wrong, but like a normal guy I ignored it until it went away. A week later it did. It was my left side and it had gone numb. Of course, at my age, I’m surprised on a daily basis when some part of my body doesn’t just fall off. It’s a bit disconcerting when your left side goes numb. Visions of grabbing my chest and wheezing my last breath ran through my head, followed by visions of other chests I’d prefer grabbing. That happens sometimes. But overall, I felt fine. No pain, no weakness, no loss of feeling. Things were just a bit numb. And, like I said, it went away — for two years. Men are notorious for not taking care of their own health. Oh, sure, we’ll rush our kids to the emergency room with only a minor scalp wound, and treat our own head cold like we’ve just contacted the bubonic plague, but if we think we might be having a heart attack, we’ll simply eat another bacon sandwich and ignore it. To quote Homer Simpson while he was having a heart attack, “A little beer will put out that fire.” Statistics from the Census Bureau show that men from 18 to 64 only visit some kind of medical professional (doctor, nurse, liquor store clerk) 3.9 times per year. Many of those visits
are after something traumatic happened, like lopping off some bit of their anatomy with a chainsaw, suffer-
Jason Offutt ing a stroke, or accidently watching an episode of “Glee.” One of the leading theories behind men not visiting a doctor is because we think we’re too tough to get sick. Can you imagine Indiana Jones seeking medical help for something lame like malaria? Or John Rambo whining about a bullet wound? Me neither. Another theory about why men don’t go to the doctor is we simply won’t ask
for directions. Well, not me. I went to the doctor. “And your left side went numb?” I nodded. “Your left side?” I nodded again. After my family physician ruled out a heart attack and stroke, he ordered an MRI on my brain. “So, I’m having my head examined?” This time he nodded. For those of you who haven’t undergone an MRI, it’s white with loud beeping noises and has all the wiggle room of an air duct. “Are you claustrophobic?” the technician asked right before sliding me into a machine that looked a bit too much like a torpedo tube to make me all that comfortable. “Nope.” I’m glad she didn’t tell me I would be from that moment on. Four days later, a nurse called with the results. “Excuse me,” I said. “Let me put you on speaker. My wife needs to hear this.” “I said your brain is normal,” the nurse’s voice spoke loud and clear. “That doesn’t mean you are.” My wife laughed. Fair enough. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

From the Pulpit
Tax Time Tax time is upon us. The big red “X” on the calendar denoting April 15 is coming quickly. The deadline cannot be avoided. I have started a file with miscellaneous receipts and documents that will help complete my taxes. I also have a bulk container of extra-strength ibuprofen at the ready. Even if you use a form 1040 EZ, which is supposed to be rather simple, tax time is stressful. It makes sense to reduce the stress and get the project done early. Nonetheless, a good many of us procrastinate all the same. This year’s resolution is to get on the ball sooner rather than later. Jesus knew a bit about the stress involved in taxes. He also knew about the political battles that were fought over taxes. Some things have not changed a great deal in two millennia. In Jesus’ day, there was plenty of resentment over Roman occupation and oppression. Some voiced their disapproval by not paying taxes. There were Jewish groups among them. Others paid the tax, but only because they had to do so. They made their displeasure well known. Jewish groups were among this group as well. Just like today, everyone found a way to pay the lowest tax possible. Unfortunately, there were not deductions or Roth IRAs in the first century. Taxes were as unpopular in the first century as they are today. Possibly taxes were more unpopular in the first century. Matthew 22 recounts a story about Jesus and taxes. In an attempt to trap Jesus, religious leaders asked him if it was permitted by Jewish law to pay taxes to the emperor. If Jesus said, “No,” he would be in trouble with the tax-collecting authorities. If Jesus said, “Yes,” he would offend those who refused to pay taxes and the many others who hated paying the tribute. In addition, there was a problem with the coin used to pay the tax. The coins had words indicating that Tiberius Caesar was divine inscribed on them. For Jews, that was idolatry and completely out of bounds. Jesus found himself in a very delicate position to say the least. In the story, Jesus asked someone in the crowd for a coin. He asked whose image is on the coin. “The emperor” was the answer. He said, “Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s and to God the things that are God’s.” Apparently, Jesus didn’t have the idolatrous change in his pocket. As the story ends, everybody is amazed and no further questions are asked. The story recounts a great dodge by Jesus. This is the type of thing that would circulate on You Tube or late night TV. Everyone likes a good showdown – especially when the underdog wins the day. The story also recounts a great deal about human nature and God. The emperor will get the taxes due one way or another. Then as now, emperors get their taxes and people don’t like it. Jesus freely admits that the emperor is due the tax. What is unclear in this story is what God is due. To answer that question, a person has to read the entire gospel. By the end of the story, one discovers that God wants everything. “Everything” is a broad word that requires some explanation. By everything, I mean our life’s direction, energy and devotion. What God is due is summed up quite neatly in the two greatest commandments: Love God with all you’ve got and love your neighbor as yourself. I believe that as we love God with all we’ve got and love our neighbors as ourselves, we will be made whole. Our life will have purpose and direction. We will be part of something bigger than ourselves. I would like to say we will be blessed in the process, but it’s not a quid pro quo equation. More than likely, we will get way more out of it than we put into it. I’m not going down the prosperity gospel path here. Just because we do things for God doesn’t mean our lives will be perfect. But I think knowing there’s a God who loves us and passing that blessing onto others will bring some peace and hope. With this in mind, perhaps doing the taxes this year will be a little less stressful. Uncle Sam and Caesar both get their due. If you owe taxes for 2013, the money will be missed for sure. However, we won’t miss what we give to God one bit. That’s the way blessings work. They have a way of coming back to us when we least expect it.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Senate chairman of a Missouri Medicaid study panel has introduced a plan to revamp the health care program without expanding it. Republican Sen. Gary Romine, Farmington, filed legislation Thursday that would expand the use of managed care plans and provide financial incentives for patients to hold down their medical costs. Romine’s legislation largely follows the recommendations of a special committee he lead last year. It makes no mention of expanding Medicaid eligibility for lower-income adults as allowed under President Barack Obama’s health care law.
Word on the Web
Question: What about 21 for bar-entry age?

Richard Klindt

Starlith McAdams
In my opinion, if they are under the legal drinking age, they don’t have any business there … this gives them something to look forward to when they turn at 21…
If the minimum age for drinking is 21 and you are not 21, then there really isn’t any reason for you to be in a bar. This is great protection for the bar owner and the servers. Especially if they can be held accountable for what happens to bar patrons who have been served too much alcohol, or of reserving alcohol to minors.
Kids under 21 are going to drink and have easy access to alcohol. Whether it be in a bar or at a house party. I think not being able to go dancing or hang out with your friends at the bar is only going to encourage more students to go home on the weekends. This could have a negative impact on the town’s revenue.

Garry and Tara Embley Honestly … why would you want people under 21 in a bar? There really isn’t much point to. This will also protect the bar owners, it’s not very hard for a 19 or 20 year old to drink from someone else’s cup. Now the bar owners won’t be getting hefty fines for underage drinkers.
Mary Riley It sounds like a good plan to me. If you can’t drink legally until you’re 21, you don’t need to be in there. It will also help the owners and the employees and maybe (prevent) some fights

North Nodaway eliminated from Fairfax Tourney
660-562-2424
QUOTABLE “I think the positive that we take from it is that I thought we did a great job and put ourselves in a position to have a chance even though we dug ourselves a hole.” -Jefferson boys basketball coach Tim Jermain
jlawrence@maryvilledailyforum.com
By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
North Nodaway couldn’t overcome a very slow start in Thursday night action at the Fairfax Tournament, and the Mustangs dropped a 59-53 decision to St. Joseph Christian, which eliminated the from the Fairfax Invitational. The Lions used full-court pressure and hot shooting to jump out to a 17-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. “No one played well in the first quarter. We’ve had some slow starts recently and we may have to look at changing things up a little,” North Nodaway head coach Chris Schoning said. By halftime, the Mustangs had closed the gap to 26-22, as junior forward Tristan Wray had six points and four rebounds in the quarter. At the 6:49 mark of the third quarter, North Nodaway took its first lead of the game, 28-26, but St. Joe Christian stretched the lead back out to nine at 43-34 by the end of the quarter, as the Mustangs struggled shooting the ball in the last four minutes of the quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Mustangs once again found the range from the field. Sophomore guard Koby Reynolds paced North Nodaway’s fourth quarter offense with nine points, but fouled out with less than two minutes to go, See MUSTANGS, Page 8

The loss eliminates the Mustangs from the tournament. They will play next on Jan. 24 against West Nodaway.

Senior trackster St. Joe Christian downs West Nodaway scores gold haul West Nodaway senior Emily Cordell did a little bit of everything Thursday night for the Lady Rockets, but it wasn’t enough as they fell 42-27 to St. Joseph Christian and were eliminated from the Fairfax Invitational. Cordell finished with six points, 10 rebounds, three assists and a handful of solid defensive plays against the Lady Lions.

For a quarter Thursday night at the Fairfax Tournament, it looked like the West Nodaway Lady Rockets had found the formula to get their first win of the season. But some hot shooting by St. Joe Christian over the final three quarters allowed the Lady Lions to escape with a 42-27 victory. West Nodaway grabbed a 10-8 first quarter lead. Senior Emily Cordell paced the Lady Rocket effort with
four points, two rebounds and two assists in the quarter. St. Joe Christian regrouped in the second quarter and moved out to a 2313 lead by halftime, as Melody McGinness scored the only Lady Rocket points of the quarter. In the third quarter, the Lady Lions outscored West Nodaway 8-4 to move to a 31-17 lead by quarter’s end. West Nodaway trimmed the lead back to single digits for much of the fourth quarter, before some clutch free throw shooting late by St. Joe
Christian moved the final margin back to 15 points. McGinness led the Lady Rockets with nine points and four rebounds. Cordell added six points, 10 rebounds and three assists, while Cheyann Marrison added six points and six rebounds. Lady Rockets head coach Toshia Jones declined to comment on the game. West Nodaway, now 0-11 on the season, is in action again on Jan. 23, when they host Union Star at 6 p.m.

Local Senior Olympian David Easterla recently completed in the Masters/Open Track and Field Meet at Wichita (Kan.) State University. Easterla, 76, came home with a total of 11 medals, seven golds and four silvers. His first-place finishes included the high jump, weight throw, triple jump, long jump, 400-meter run, 1,000-meter run and pentathlon. Runner-up medals for the emeritus Northwest Missouri State University biology professor came in the standing long jump, shot put, 60-meter dash and 200-meter dash. Easterla, who began competing in Senior Olympics and masters events at age 69 as a swimmer, switched to track and field after Northwest shut down its pool a few years ago due to budget restrictions. Lanky and broad-shouldered, Easterla said he shed nearly 40 pounds after starting to train as a senior athlete, going from 215 pounds to around 180 — his weight during his student-athlete days at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Easterla said he encourages all older people to stay physically active and recommends at least an hour a day of physical activity. “You don’t stop playing because you grow old,” he said. “You grow old because you stop playing.”

Maryville splits 2 duals SABETHA, Kan. — The Spoofhounds split a pair of duals Thursday night in Sabetha, Kan., defeating Falls City (Neb.), but losing to a Sabetha team with a full lineup. Against Falls City, Nathaniel Alexander, Dane Hull and Matt Twaddle won via pin while Trevor Zimmerman scored a major decision and Brendan Weybrew won by decision as well. The match against Sabetha was less suc-
cessful for Maryville as the Spoofhounds were open in three classes, surrendering 18 points. Cayden Dunbar, Alexander and Weybrew recorded pins in the dual while Hull scored a 2-1 decision and Twaddle just missed a major decision, winning 11-4. Maryville is back in action Saturday in Coon Rapids, Iowa, taking part in the Coon Rapids Tournament. Wrestling begins at 10 a.m.
NORTHWEST BASKETBALL Northwest falls short in comeback effort against SBU BOLIVAR, Mo. – The Northwest Missouri State women’s basketball team could not complete the comeback as the Bearcats fell to MIAA foe Southwest Baptist 84-72 Thursday night. SBU started the game by not missing a shot and pulled out to a 21-5 lead in the first eight minutes of the contest. From then on, Northwest was battling to get back in the game. Northwest shot 41-percent in the first half compared to SBU, which shot a season-high 68-percent from the field and headed into halftime with a 16-point lead, 46-30. Junior guard Ariel Easton finished the first half with 10 points for the Bearcats. Northwest worked hard in the second half to claw its way back into the game.
At one point in the first half, the Bearcats trailed by as many as 23, but with under two minutes to play they cut it to five on a steal by junior forward Annie Mathews which led to a layup by junior guard Ashleigh Nelson. However, the Bearcats were unable to complete the comeback, falling to SBU 84-72. Mathews finished one rebound shy of a double-double as she led the team in scoring with 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Easton finished with 19 points, seven assists and added four rebounds. Northwest falls to 5-10 overall and 2-6 in MIAA action. The Bearcats will be back in action in Bearcat Arena Saturday as they take on No. 8 Central Missouri with tip-off scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
Bearcats top century mark in win over SBU BOLIVAR, Mo. – The Northwest Missouri State men’s basketball team recorded a season-high for first half points with 54 as the Bearcats went on to beat Southwest Baptist 104-69 on Thursday. Northwest came out of the gate on an offensive tear with a 19-4 run. The defense also stepped up in the first half, holding SBU to 32 points on just 35-percent shooting as the Cats went into halftime holding a 54-32 lead. Senior guard DeShaun Cooper led the Bearcats in scoring in the first half with 15 points, as he was 8-for-8 from the free throw line. As a team, Northwest was 17of-20 from the line in the first half. The offense didn’t slow down in the sec-
ond half as it added another 50 points. Six Bearcats finished in double figures, led by Cooper’s 22. Senior guard Bryston Williams added 18 points. Freshman forward Zach Schneider followed up his 19-point performance against Northeastern State Monday night with 16 points, while pulling down eight rebounds. Sophomore guard Conner Crooker, junior forward Grant Cozad and senior center Dillon Starzl finished with 15, 13 and 12 points, respectively. Northwest improves to 12-5 overall and leads the MIAA at 7-1 on the year. The Bearcats will be in action Saturday, at home, as they take on Central Missouri with tip-off scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Royals sign Penny, Mota to minor league contracts KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals have signed former All-Star pitcher Brad Penny and veteran reliever Guillermo Mota to minor league contracts that include invitations to spring training. The team announced the moves Wednesday. Pitchers and catchers report to camp on Feb. 14 in Surprise, Ariz. The 35-year-old Penny, whose best years came with the Los Angeles Dodgers, is trying to resurrect his career after missing last
season to rest his right shoulder. Penny was 0-1 with a 6.11 ERA in 2012 with the San Francisco Giants. Mota has been with seven different clubs, most recently the Giants, in his major league career. The right-hander is 3945 with a 3.94 ERA over 14 seasons. He is coming off a 100-game suspension for a second positive drug test. His agent says it was for clenbuterol, which is found in children’s cough syrup.
Clark seeks dismissal of Pujols lawsuit By JIM SALTER Associate Press
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jack Clark’s comments implying that Albert Pujols used steroids were too vague to do any real harm and a court should dismiss the lawsuit pitting the two former St. Louis Cardinals stars against each other, Clark’s attorney said Tuesday. A motion filed Monday on behalf of Clark seeks dismissal of the defamation lawsuit filed by Pujols in October. The suit followed comments Clark made on his St. Louis radio show, “The King and the Ripper Show,” in August. Among other things, Clark said he knew “for a fact” that Pujols was “a juicer.” Pujols has vehemently denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Clark and his WGNU-AM show co-host Kevin Slaten were fired within days of the comments, and the station’s owner broadcast a lengthy apology and posted similarly contrite statements on its website. The lawsuit names Clark but does not name the ra-
dio station or Slaten. Clark’s attorney, Albert Watkins, said Clark’s on-air comments were too vague to cause real harm to Pujols. “You call someone a juicer, in fact, there are multiple definitions of ‘juicer,’” Watkins said. “It could mean illegal performance enhancing drugs, legal performance enhancing drugs. “Simply saying that my client asserted that Mr. Pujols was a ‘juicer,’ under the law that governs defamation actions, is not enough,” Watkins said. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages that would be donated to charity and asks for a determination and declaration that Clark’s statements are false. The lawsuit said Pujols’ “character and reputation are impeccable and beyond reproach” and cites his charitable work with the Pujols Family Foundation. The suit calls calling Clark “a struggling radio talk show host” who was chasing ratings in the first week his new show was on the air when the comments were made.
Mustangs hurt by slow start Continued from Page 7 which hurt the Mustang comeback effort. “Our kids continue to play really hard and that’s all I can ask,” Schoning said. “I just continue to remind them to keep playing hard and improve their execution because it will pay off and we will get some wins down the road.” Reynolds led North Nodaway with 14
points. Freshman guard Peyton Coleman added 10 points and six rebounds. Junior guard Dakota Chesnut came off the Mustangs’ bench to score nine points, while Wray finished with eight points and five rebounds. North Nodaway, now 1-13 on the season, is off until Jan. 24, when the Mustangs host West Nodaway.

Jefferson senior Kyler Farnan beat his Albany defender to the basket in Thursday night’s 52-42 loss. Farnan was one of four players to score seven points for the Eagles, but it wasn’t enough. Jefferson will play Mound City Saturday for third place in the Stanberry Invitational.
Jefferson to play for 3rd in Stanberry Tournament By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
The Jefferson Eagles came out slow against the Albany Warriors and were never able to make up the ground. The Eagles fell behind 7-0 early in the game, including missing seven shots from very close to the basket. The early deficit was too much for the Eagles to overcome. “I thought we had a couple of defensive breakdowns that really let them get loose in transition a few times,” Jefferson head coach Tim Jermain said. “But it also kind of stems from missed layups. We had some really good looks at the basket but just didn’t finish and that allowed them to get out in transition.” The Eagles ended up falling behind 22-7 in the first quarter. While the defense stepped up in the second quarter, shots still weren’t falling for the Eagles. The low scoring second quarter led to a 26-12 halftime hole for the Eagles. The second half led to more of the same for Jefferson. They hard defense, but were unable to get open shots to fall. “We are struggling a little with confidence right now,” Jermain said. “We’ve had a little
run of games here where we’ve struggled to score. We just have to over come that. I think we are getting the shots we want, we just have to knock them down.” The Eagles were able to cut the lead down to five points in the fourth quarter, but had two quick turnovers that led to Warrior layups that sealed the game. “We were back within five and had the ball,” Jermain said. “But then we just didn’t execute real well.” Jefferson lost the game 52-42 and moved on to the third place game against Mound City on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. in Stanberry. Senior Alex Holtman led the Eagles in scoring with 12 points. Seniors Kyler Farnan, Tyler Merrigan, Mason Eckstein and sophomore Jason Sullivan added seven points each. “I think the positive that we take from it is that I thought we did a great job and put ourselves in a position to have a chance even though we dug ourselves a hole,” Jermain said. In other action at the Stanberry Tournament, the South Nodaway girls lost to North Andrew 53-38. South Nodaway will play King City in the third place game tonight at 8:30 p.m.
Hounds back in win column By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Maryville bounced back Thursday night with a big win over Auburn (Neb.) after suffering four straight losses. “It was a much needed win,” head coach Mike Kuwitzky said. “It’s been a long time, so we’re real excited.” The Spoofhounds came out strong, opening up a 12-4 first quarter lead and pushing that advantage to 28-14 by halftime. “I think the biggest thing was that we really came out ready to play,” Kuwitzky said. “(We) showed a lot of enthusiasm, showed a lot of energy and I thought we executed very well.” The Hounds went on to win 52-26 and Kuwitzky said a big key was his team coming together and playing like a team and limiting turnovers. “We’ve been having a tough time playing as a team, getting everybody to run the of-
fense,” Kuwitzky said. “We ran the offense very well tonight. “More importantly, I thought the people were playing together and we didn’t make many turnovers. Turnovers have been killing us and we didn’t have as many tonight because we were trying to run our stuff better and everybody seemed alert and to have their heads in the game and that made a difference.” Junior Mitch Worthington led the Hounds with 16 points and junior guard Hagen Snow chipped in with 11 as nine Spoofhounds scored in the contest. Maryville (4-8) is in action again tonight as part of a double-header with the Lady Spoofhounds. The girls tip off against Falls City (Neb.) at 5:30 p.m. and the boys will follow around 7 p.m. “They’re rated sixth in the state of Nebraska right now in their class,” Kuwitzky said. “They’re really playing well. They’re gonna be coming in tough.”

Stay close to those who share your concerns, interests and beliefs. Invest in yourself and your talents. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Keep a close watch on your situation today. Not everyone will play by the same rules. There is a good reason for your uncertainty -- tread carefully. A last-minute change must not be allowed to ruin your plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Get whatever is troubling you out in the open. Discuss your thoughts, plans and intentions. The more direct you are, the surer you will become of the path you have chosen. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will not see your situation clearly.

In golf, there is usually more than one way to hit a shot to the green -- assuming, of course, you are skillful enough to do that. In bridge, many deals
has the potential to turn emotional. Be willing to compromise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Deal with a fraught situation while you have the chance. Make changes or offer assistance, and things will be easier when you need a favor or aid in return. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Get together with someone you love. Sharing stories will help you build a closer bond, as well as enlighten you regarding your family or cultural background. Make travel plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t let added responsibilities get you down. The more quickly you get your chores out of the way, the sooner you will be able to enjoy a change of pace and space. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Find out all you can about things that interest you. Listening to what others have to say will give you a wide variety of options to consider and pursue. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You may be forced to jump from one thing to another. Don’t dilly-dally or you will be criticized for being indecisive. Take action based on what works best for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Stay out of emotional talks that you cannot win. Concentrate on learning about new people, places and pastimes. An interest in an unusual lifestyle will prompt domestic alterations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Consider making a personal investment or improvement to your home and your surroundings. A change in the way you live will inspire you to alter your vocational direction as well.
give only one side a chance to do something meritorious: declarer or the defense. But sometimes both sides will have an opportunity, although one side might require the other to err. That applies in this deal. Would you prefer to declare or defend in three no-trump after West leads a diamond to dummy’s bare ace? If you like to declare, look at only the NorthSouth hands and plan the play. Alternatively, cover the West and South hands. At trick two, declarer leads the club king from the board. How would you, East, defend? South starts with only six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds. The other tricks must come from clubs, but dummy is short of entries. South should be happy to lose two club tricks and to do it as quickly as pos-
sible. So, at trick two, he leads a low club from the board. After that, everything is under control. If the defenders must get two tricks in a suit you wish to establish, make them take those tricks as quickly as possible. If South makes the mistake of starting with a club honor at trick two, East can defeat the contract by ducking, letting declarer take the trick. Then South lacks the dummy entries to establish and run the suit.
