Vandals taking aim at county road signs By TONY BROWN News editor

Costly damage

TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM

County Road and Bridge Supervisor Larry Dougan displays a road sign Friday at the Nodaway County Administration Center that was heavily damaged by a firearm-toting vandal. Replacing defaced, destroyed and stolen signs costs taxpayers thousands of dollars a year and, more dangerously, makes it more difficult for firefighters and ambulance crews to respond to rural emergencies and injury accidents.

Something is wrong along the sparsely populated gravel roads in Nodaway County. And the signs are everywhere. That was apparent last Friday when Road and Bridge Supervisor Larry Dougan showed up at the County Administration Center to make his regular twice-weekly report to the three-member Nodaway County Commission. Usually Dougan just presents a verbal summary about drainage tubes that need to be replaced and bridges that need to be repaired. But this time he brought along a visual aid to illustrate a problem that has bedeviled his six-man crew for years — a twin-plated 911 locator sign taken from its post on Galaxy road just north of the Highway 46 intersection west of Maryville. The metal, green-and-white-painted sign looked like a souvenir from a war zone. One of the plates had literally been battered into scrap and bore about 100 bullet holes and dings probably inflicted with a small-caliber rifle, since most of the slugs failed to pierce the eighth-inch-thick metal. Such vandalism happens often enough, Dougan said, with about a half-dozen signs falling victim to gun-toting vandals

each month. But just because finding shotup signs out in the county is commonplace doesn’t make it any less of a headache. Road sign vandalism, Dougan said, doesn’t appear to happen as often these days as it did a couple of years ago when there was an epidemic of sign thefts during which malicious mischief-makers took to stealing signs — poles and all — or mashing them with vehicles and cutting them up with power saws. The newest fad involves simple marksmanship, though why a certain portion of the population seems to favor signs over tin cans is anybody’s guess. Signs bearing words like “Galaxy” or numbers like “200th” are favored targets, Dougan said, apparently due to the inherent bull’s eye attraction presented by the letter “X” and the numeral “0.” Of course, people are still stealing signs too. West-county resident Darrell Keever called the Daily Forum last week to report that one of two Quitman town-limit signs had been stolen from the south end of the village, which spreads out along Highway 113 south of Burlington Junction. The Quitman sign was state-owned and not county-owned, and replacing it is problematic since Quitman disincorporated in late 2012 after no one filed to run for a seat on the town board. Keever said he was upset that the sign had been taken since the town still exists See SIGNS, Page 6

City’s aging fire truck in need of a new home By TONY BROWN News editor

If anybody out there is looking for a good, used fire truck, please give the city of Maryville a call. Part of Maryville’s firefighting fleet since 1982, the aging pumper is due to be replaced with a new truck currently being assembled by Toyne Inc. in Breda, Iowa. Capt. Phil Rickabaugh, who runs the fire division of Maryville Public Safety, said Toyne has the new unit all but completed, and that the pumper will arrive at MPS headquarters shortly after going on display Feb. 5-7 at the Missouri Fire School & Expo in Columbia. The $281,000 pumper was purchased with revenues from the city’s half-cent capital improvements sales tax and was originally to be delivered this spring. But Toyne has been able to complete fitting out the stock Freightliner chassis well ahead of schedule. That means Maryville’s secondline pumper, a Smeal/Ford 8000 diesel with a five-speed manual transmissions, needs a new home. City Hall will accept sealed bids from potential buyers until 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 3. Anyone interested in submitting a bid on the truck, which sold new for about $80,000 thirty-two years ago, can access the bid requirements at www.maryville.org/bidview. aspx?bid=554. Rickabaugh said Public Safety had hopes of selling the truck to some nearby rural fire protection district in order to keep the unit available for use in the Nodaway County area.

However, he said, it does’t look like any local volunteer departments are in the market right now, so what lies in store for the old truck is anybody’s guess. The pumper, which has 16,525 miles and 1,845 hours on the motor and comes equipped with a 500-gallon water tank, is available for inspection from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Maryville fire station, located at 222 E. Third St. Prospective buyers can call Rickabaugh for an appointment at (660) 562-3209. As for the new pumper, Rickabaugh said it will become the number-one unit in the city’s fleet, which, as a practical matter, also includes two trucks belonging to Polk Township and a “brush truck” shared by both jurisdictions. The existing first-response vehicle, a 1997 pumper, will become the second-line truck. With a sticker price of more than $280,000, Rickabaugh said the new unit, which comes equipped with a 1,000-gallon tank, will significantly upgrade the city’s firefighting capability and also contains a number of updated safety features. Imagine, for example, the car you owned in 1982 and the car you have now. Many of the improvements are much the same only on an industrial scale. First, the new truck’s cab will be equipped with air bags and hold five firefighters instead of three, all of whom will be able to buckle up using harnesses rather than lesssecure lap belts. The seats are also custom built to accommodate pop-out air tanks that firefighters will strap on en-

about the amount of water needed to bring a “room-and-contents” blaze under control — meaning a good-sized fire that has yet to engulf a residence or other structure. “It’s enough to give us a good buffer zone while we are establishing another water supply,” Rickabaugh said.

DeLuce Gallery to showcase sculpture exhibit

Studio furniture

JASON RAMEY PHOTO

Examples of “studio furniture” sculpture by artist Jason Ramey will be on display beginning next week at Northwest Missouri State University’s Olive DeLuce Gallery.

MARYVILLE, Mo. — Works by sculptor Jason Ramey will be on display beginning next week in Northwest Missouri State University’s Olive DeLuce Gallery. The exhibit opens Monday, Jan. 27, with a reception and lecture featuring the artist beginning at 7 p.m. in Charles Johnson Theater at the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building. Ramey creates studio furniture sculptures by combining pre-existing objects with domestic construction processes. He said the hybrid structures are intended “to reflect the emotional attachments people have to their domestic environments.” Ramey received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Herron School of Art and Design at Indiana University and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is currently a visiting faculty professor at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. To view examples of his work, go to www.jasonramey. com. Part of Northwest’s Visiting Artist Series, the exhibit, which continues through Friday, March 7, is free and open to the public. DeLuce Gallery hours are 6 to 9 p.m. Monday; 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; and 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sunday. The gallery is located on the ground floor of the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building across the street from Bearcat Arena.

LOCAL NEWS BRIEF Rebecca Dunnell selected to play at flute convention Northwest Missouri State University Associate Professor Rebecca Dunnell has been chosen to present a clinic at the Florida Flute Association Convention Jan. 25 in Orlando, Fla., titled “Etudes that Engage.” Dunnell’s clinic focuses on her arrangements of etudes by Joachim Andersen. The arrangements were inspired by Dunnell’s exposure as a student to the music of legendary French flutist Marcel Moyse. Dunnell joined the Northwest faculty in 2002 and, in addition to the flute, teaches courses in music literature and history, world music and music theory.

STATE/NATIONAL BRIEFS Weather swings continue (AP) — The topsy-turvy weather has changed again, bringing more snow and ice to parts of Missouri, along with a big drop in temperatures. The northern tier of Missouri was under a wind-chill advisory Tuesday from the National Weather Service with temperatures in the single digits combining with strong winds to create a wind chill of minus 15 degrees or colder in an area mostly north of Highway 36. Temperatures have changed wildly in much of the state since the start of the year. A powerful storm on Jan. 5 was followed by days of bitter cold before temperatures rose quickly into the 50s. The see-sawing trend is expected to continue throughout the week, with a high of 29 forecast for Maryville today, a high of 15 on Thursday and temperatures in the low 40s on Friday.

Bayer to invest in facilities ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Bayer HealthCare plans to invest about $10 million to improve efficiency at its St. Joseph and Shawnee, Kan., facilities. The company announced Monday that it will combine and transfer operations from its three locations in the St. Joseph area to one location. Bayer also will transfer its regulatory and development work to its U.S. headquarters in Shawnee, Kan. About $6.5 million will be spent in St. Joseph and $3.5 million in Shawnee, Kan. Company spokeswoman Lauren Dorsch says the changes are expected to be finished by next year. The company says it’s too soon to determine how the changes would affect employees.

Missouri gun permits good in Wisconsin JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri concealed weapons permit holders can now bring their guns with them to Wisconsin. Attorney General Chris Koster announced the two states had reached a reciprocity agreement when it comes to concealed weapons. He says a new law requiring permit holders to undergo national background check upon renewal paved the way for the agreement. The same legislation also changed Missouri’s gun permit to not include a photo of the holder. Thirty-six other states also honor Missouri’s concealed weapons permits. Missouri recognizes gun permits from any state that issues them.

Sarcoxie drops Facebook SARCOXIE, Mo. (AP) — The Sarcoxie School District in southwest Missouri has dropped its Facebook page, which the superintendent says had “become a forum for negativity.” Superintendent Keith Goddard says he spent much of his free time monitoring the Sarcoxie R-II School District’s Facebook page for posts with profanity or that were otherwise inappropriate. In December the school board decided that the district would continue to use its website and Twitter for communication, and that school cancellations would be broadcast on local television and radio stations. Goddard says the district is also redesigning its internet presence with a new web page and the district will also offer parents a smartphone app for district alerts and information.

CAPITOL BRIEF Legislators seek to block federal gun control laws JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri Senate panel is taking up legislation that would send federal agents to jail for enforcing federal gun control laws in the state. The measure being heard by the Senate General Laws Committee on Tuesday would declare certain federal gun control policies “null and void.” Agents enforcing them could spend a year in jail, be fined up to $1,000 and face other civil penalties. The bill would also allow designated school personnel to carry concealed weapons in buildings. Another provision would let holders of concealed gun permits carry firearms openly, even in municipalities with ordinances banning open carry. A similar bill passed the Republican-led Legislature last year, but was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.

My Word

‘The times, they are a-changin’…’

All nations must change to progress and to do what is best for their people. Changes can be powerful, but few have been exclusively good. For example, our technological advances have been extraordinary the last twenty years or so, but that same technology has given our government unprecedented opportunities to snoop in our lives. Bad can come with good, but we press on in the belief good will triumph. That assumes we can still recognize good when we see it. What we must not do as a nation is confuse change with goodness or greatness. It isn’t necessarily so and especially unlikely if we separate change from historical and moral guidance. One way of measuring our social transformation is to look at the popular culture, music, television, and film specifically. Social mores are also a good means of comparison. I grew up with rock-n-roll and then rock as a transition occurred. The music was different then. Song lyrics focused on love, romance, dating, marriage, optimism, teen angst, and cars. Most of Larry Anderson the music was positive and reflective of a similar attitude toward the country and life in general. There was innocence with an edge. Things change. Much of the music today is about sex, violence, drugs, and abuse. Even country music tends to focus on drinking, divorce, tragedy, and personal weakness and failure instead of the corny cheerfulness that once represented the genre. Happiness seems illusive, hope missing, positive attitudes replaced by a grim determination to be unhappy. I have generalized of course--there is some positive music too--but shouldn’t we be asking ourselves why such a contrast has taken place over the years? We have changed as a culture, but are we better? The changes in television programming have been remarkable. For instance, while there was violence in many shows in the past, it wasn’t portrayed graphically. A villain shot tended to clutch his belly, make a face, and fall to the ground. Even kids understood it was pretending, not an attempt to be so realistic as to transcend the viewer into a shocking sense of mayhem. Today we see blood sprays and grotesquely mutilated corpses. The more disgusting the dead body, the higher the ratings. Torture isn’t excluded these days; in the past it would have been abhorred and condemned. Increasingly, the portrayal of people using drugs is losing its negativity. Doesn’t this reflect cultural surrender to something that was once universally considered bad? How is that good for America? Today, there is a convergence between film and television in terms of what is accepted. Formerly, one could expect more violence, skin, and bad behavior to show up in films while television was more constrained. Now television programming is nearly as graphic as many films. One exception is in modern movies every fourth word begins with “f.” I recently viewed The Wolf of Wall Street, a threehour film. The “f bomb” was dropped literally hundreds of times. It was so pervasive it caused the film to lose its sense of realism and left me with nothing but contempt. How long before this kind of language invades network television? Where is the value in pervasive profanity as self-expression, and isn’t verbal bludgeoning reflective of a society numbed into passivity? Why does the popular culture insist on making it so difficult to be a good parent? Cooperation between parenting and popular media is long gone. I understand people want to watch shows that are realistic, but shouldn’t there be a line for the sake of impressionable minds? It seems more and more that the demarcation between what is healthy and what isn’t is being erased. A distortion of freedom of expression has overwhelmed our sense of civic responsibility. Too much of our cultural presentation is becoming ugly, negative, and reflective of a self-absorption demonstrated by those who either fail to understand the difference between right and wrong or just don‘t care. Our cultural promise as reflected through our popular media is growing thin as is the respect once paid us through emulation. Surely we can demand better expressions of our society without returning to the musty days of yesteryear. Moderation can be a good thing, but unless we advocate forcefully for it, it will never happen. America is on a path. We need to change directions, and we need to understand why. — Larry W.

A Minute with Mike

Committee in Missouri House is studying ‘right to work’ bill

As we approach the third week of session and prepare to respond to the governor’s “State of the State” address, many pieces of legislation have been referred to committee and the process is underway. The governor will unveil his budget proposal this week and the appropriations process will begin in the House of Representatives. More than 200 bills will have been referred to committee and the hearings that decide the fate of filed legislation are underway. Priority issues usually move quicker and we will soon be debating these on the “floor.” The House Committee on Workforce Development and Workplace Safety has already heard and taken testimony on a bill known as the Freedom to Work Act. This is an issue that is also referred to by many as “right-to-work.” The goal of the legislation is to end the current practice that allows contracts that require all workers to pay union dues regardless of whether they are union members. The idea is to give each worker the freedom to choose whether to be a dues-paying member of a union. What this means and what the law already states are often misunderstood and the battle lines have been established in several states across the Midwest. As the committee heard during its discussion on the bill, proponents of

the idea believe making Missouri a right-to-work state would lead to both economic growth and job creation. They say the change is vital to Missouri’s efforts to attract new manufacturing and other jobs, as

Mike Thomson some companies have stated, they give heavy consideration to the labor laws of the states they are looking at for relocation. Supporters also stress the importance of giving workers the freedom to decide whether to join a union, and claim it will force unions to better represent workers in order to retain their membership. Statistics that show

greater economic growth in right-to work states were discussed. The committee also heard from opponents of the idea who believe the right-to work effort is simply a means to destroy unions in Missouri. They tout the success unions have had in increasing pay and improving working conditions for the workers they represent. They say this effort could cause lower wages and it would encourage “free riding” where a worker opts out of a union while still gaining the benefits of collective bargaining. In the coming weeks, we will see a considerable amount of discussion on this issue as we weigh its pros and cons. However, I have serious doubts that this initiative will pass out of the Legislature and become law. The governor would most certainly veto any right-to-work bill and I don’t believe that an override of his veto would be successful. Perhaps this controversial debate will lead to compromises that will be helpful to all as we try to improve the business climate in our state. If you have questions, you may reach me at my Capitol number, 573-751-9465; at the local district number, 660-582-4014; by email at mike.thomson@house.mo.gov, or by mail at Room 401B State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, Mo. 65101.

Straight Talk from Sam

Graves makes academy appointments

It is one of the great privileges of my job to be able to recommend a select group of individuals for admission to the United States Service Academies each year. The military academies offer a unique and rewarding experience for young men and women. And North Missouri continues to produce some of the most outstanding candidates in the nation. I am both honored and proud to nominate nine students this year to serve their country: • United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.: David Jeong and Stephen Komar, both of Park Hill South High School in Riverside, and Will Ryan of Park Hill High School in Kansas City. • United States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo.: Grant Mitton of Kearney High School, and

Tom Prinslow of Park Hill South High School, Parkville.

Sam Graves

• United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.: Andrew Maus of Rockhurst High School, Kansas City, David Mershon of Lee’s Summit North High School and Nicolas Russell of Central High School in St. Joseph, and • United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y.: Brennan Rialti of Lee’s Summit High School. While I have nominated these outstanding students, their application process is not over. They still must compete with students nominated from across the country. I am always humbled and proud to suggest local students for these prestigious appointments. I hope you’ll join me in congratulating this stellar group of candidates, and wishing them the best of luck.

Local residents journey to D.C. in March for Life By STAFF & WIRE REPORT

Today marks the 41st anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in the United States. As in past years, several local abortion opponents were to be in Washington, D.C., this week to participate in the annual March for Life protest gathering. Mike Grudzinski of the Maryville Knights of Columbus said the Maryville chapter of the Catholic men’s organization helped pick up traveling expenses for Max Pawlowski, director of the Newman Catholic Center, a campus ministry serving students at Northwest Missouri State University. Four Northwest students were to join Pawlowski in the nation’s capital. In addition, Grudzinski and his fellow K of C members from St. Gregory Barbarigo Parish are participating in a Baby Bottle Brigade, which involves setting out baby bottles in which people can place cash and change in support of a statewide program known as Meet Life.

Funds raised through Meet Life are used to purchase ultrasound machines for pregnancy resource centers such as the one in St. Joseph, which is in line for a device as soon as enough money is available. Conception Seminary College, whose campus adjoins Conception Abbey east of Maryville, sends 12 seminarians every other year to the March for Life, but 2014 is the off year. Nevertheless, a number of students, men preparing for the Roman Catholic priesthood, were planning to attend with members from their home churches. In addition, seminarians have been gathering each evening this week to pray and say the Rosary, a Caththolic devotion consisting of the recitation of two prayers known as the “Hail Mary” and “Our Father,” or Lord’s Prayer. The group has also been gathering for special devotions during morning prayer. Today, monks at Conception Abbey are to hold a special Mass for the unborn along with a bellringing at 1:30 p.m. Elsewhere in the area, more than 400 students from Benedictine

College in Atchison, Kan., have journeyed to Washington for today’s protest, where several dozen were to carry a banner at the front of the march. The Benedictine group will be joined by about 30 students from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Emporia State University in Emporia, Kan., and Newman University in Wichita. “We’ll be carrying the banner at the front of over half a million pro-lifers from across the country, which we’re so honored about,” said Kathryn Brown, a Benedictine junior from Lake Winnebago. Benedictine students have participated in the march since 1985. The school traditionally sends the largest group and travels the farthest distance to participate, said Benedictine College President Stephen Minnis. “I admire the passion of these young people,” Minnis said. “They believe that abortion is the civil rights issue of the day. They are willing to spend their hardearned money and take time out of class and spend 48 hours on a bus to be a witness for their beliefs.”

Bill would require adoption clinic reviews JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — An abortion facility in Missouri would need to be inspected at least four times annually under a newly proposed measure in the state House. The legislation introduced this past week is a priority for Missouri Right to Life, which calls it a “strong bipartisan and pro-life” bill.

Anti-abortion groups have pointed to a state inspection that identified several issues at a St. Louis clinic and to demonstrators who have witnessed about two dozen ambulance trips at the facility over the past several years. The goal is to impose “stricter inspection requirements and more account-

ability for abortion clinics,” Missouri Right to Life President Pam Fichter said in a written statement. The legislation has more than 100 co-sponsors, including the House speaker and majority leader. Missouri’s only facility currently performing elective abortions is in St. Louis, and Planned Parenthood

of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri says about one-fifth of patients travel more than 100 miles to get there. President and CEO Paula Gianino said the state already can inspect as frequently as it chooses without advanced notice, and that there is no precedent for the proposed requirement

among other health facilities that provide even more complex procedures. “This is not a bill that’s responding to a problem. This is a bill meant to create further burdens on us because we provide abortion care, pure and simple,” Gianino said. Under the House legislation, inspections would be

conducted as the Department of Health & Senior Services deems necessary but at least four times per fiscal year. No notice would be required before the clinic is examined. Inspectors could close the facility if continued operation would constitute a serious risk of harm to the health or safety of patients.

Vandals aim at road signs Continued from Page 1 emotionally for its residents, if not legally. He added that if the thief returns the sign no charges will be filed and “nothing will be said.” Most of the county road signs targeted by vandals consist of either two or four metal placards, depending on whether the marker denotes a single street or a two-street intersection, and each placard costs about $50. So replacing a set of signs, Dougan said, generally takes at least $100, not counting crew time, fuel costs and pole replacement, if necessary. That means keeping the county’s 1,100 intersections marked sets taxpayers back $600 or so a month. And the price tag has gone as high as a couple of thousand dollars during periods when vandals are especially active. Considering that the county has a $3 millionplus transportation budget, that’s not really a lot of money. But it is public revenue that could be

spent in other ways. More important than the expense, however, is the safety factor. The county’s north/ south roads are named alphabetically going west to east (Almond to Popcorn), and its east/ west toads are numbered sequentially going north to south (100th to 410th). There is a reason for that, and the reason is 911 service. A number/name grid makes it possible for rural residents to have townlike street addresses that are relatively easy for firefighters and ambulance crews to find, even at night or when the weather is bad. Missing and illegible signs could literally cost someone their life after a farm accident or during a medical emergency. “It’s a big safety issue,” said Dougan, who added that his six person tube and bridge crew strives to replace damaged signs as quickly as possible, especially those marking the entry onto a gravel road from a numbered highway or lettered blacktop.

7 Bearcats earn All-America honors

PITTSBURG, Kan. – Seven members of the 2013 Northwest Missouri State football team were named to the Don Hansen All-America team in a release by the committee on Tuesday. Junior defensive end Matt Longacre was named the Co-Defensive Player of the Year and earned first team All-America honors. Junior linebacker Eric Reimer, senior cornerback Brandon Dixon and senior offensive lineman Cody Carlson joined Longacre on the first team. Sophomore defensive tackle Brandon Yost was named to the second team and junior linebacker DJ Gnader earned third team honors. Senior quarterback Trevor Adams earned honorable mention accolades from the committee. Head coach Adam Dorrel was selected as the Don Hansen National Coach of the Year after leading the Bearcats to a perfect 15-0 record and Northwest’s fourth NCAA Division II National Championship. The Don Hansen Division II All-America Team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on Aug. 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Ill., started and published Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America teams for the first time in 1988. The Don Hansen Football Committee selected All-Super Region teams in December and early January, with the first-team and second-team All-Super Region players advancing to the national ballot.

Hounds’ slide reaches 5 games

By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor

The Maryville girls basketball team’s defense is playing outstanding right now and head coach Grant Hageman couldn’t be happier about that, but his offense is still playing catch-up. “I think we’ve out-hustled our opponents the last five or six games now and that’s what I keep telling those girls,” head coach Grant Hageman said. “If they keep working hard, our defense is right where it needs to be, we just gotta

have our shooting and taking care of the ball catch-up. Once it does, then you’re in ball games.” Maryville was in it early Tuesday night, keeping it close throughout the first quarter until Hamilton’s Morgan Prather, who finished with a gamehigh 17 points, finished a shot in the paint as the buzzer went off to give the Hornets an 11-9 lead. “I thought we forced some turnovers early and I think they couldn’t get into a rhythm,” Hageman said. The second quarter was a bit of a

different story as Maryville committed several turnovers and only scored two points, heading into halftime down 1811. Maryville came out in the third quarter and turned up the defense, winning the quarter 8-7 and getting the game within five points early in the fourth quarter. Then the offense went away again until sophomore Leah Jasinski hit a three-pointer, which turned out to be the Lady Hounds’ last points of the game. See LADY HOUNDS, Page 8

LINCOLN, Neb. – The Northwest Missouri State track and field programs set two school records and had multiple top performances at the 2014 Holiday Inn Invitational at the Devaney Sports Center on the University of Nebraska campus in Lincoln, Neb., last weekend. The meet was the first event of the indoor season for the Bearcats since returning from holiday break and included multiple Division I programs including host Nebraska, Kansas and Air Force. On the men’s side, Tim Grundmayer finished fifth in the 1,000 meters, setting a school record with a time of 2:29.40. Nolan Zimmer placed seventh in the 3,000 meters, setting the Northwest record in 8:30.80. Other top men’s finishes included: Drew Keefer, who placed fourth in the 5,000 meters in 15:10.55. Ryan Cox was eighth in the 1,000 meters in 2:30.88 and Zach Dixon was 13th in the 600 meters in 1:24.92. The Northwest distance medley team ran the third fastest time in program history, placing seventh in 10:28.11. The team included Joe Anger, Trevor Obecny, Grundmayer and Zimmer. On the women’s side, Audrey Bolinger placed fifth in the 600 meter run, finishing in 1:41.51. Right behind her in 17th place was teammate Alex Hartwig, finishing in 1:41.59. Haley Manning took fifth in the 800 meters, finishing in 2:16.94, good for third on Northwest’s all-time list. Kendra Martiny cleared 10-6 in the pole vault, taking sixth. Lekiesha McKnight finished seventh in the shot put with a mark of 46-2.75. Anne Herbert placed 13th in the 3,000 meters, the 10th fastest time in program history. Up next, Northwest will head to Pella, Iowa, for the two-day Central Multis, which begin on Jan. 24.

South Nodaway downs Northeast Nodaway in OT By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

Four quarters wasn’t enough Tuesday night for Northeast Nodaway and South Nodaway — they needed overtime to determine a winner. Northeast Nodaway took control of the game early and held a narrow lead at halftime, 20-17. South Nodaway shaved a point off the Bluejay lead in the third quarter, but still trailed going into the final stanza. The teams traded leads throughout the quarter with South Nodaway getting a shot to win the game. South Nodaway senior Kyle Wolf put up a contested three-point shot as time expired, but regulation ended in a 40-40 tie as Wolf’s shot caromed off the side of the rim. South Nodaway senior Zeb Coleman missed one of this two free throw attempts in the period and Northeast Nodaway sophomore Andrew Faustlin scored his only bucket in the game in overtime to give the Bluejays a 42-41 lead. South Nodaway head coach Dustin Skoglund called a timeout with 15 seconds to play in the overtime period and drew up a play for the Horns to run. South Nodaway senior Damien Willmore drove the lane and scored a basket with 4.3 seconds to play, which turned out to be the game winner as junior Garet Jackson missed a fall-away three at the buzzer.

“It feels pretty good,” Skoglund said. “It’s important for the boys to get a win. A lot of times you have to lose games like that before you can win games like that.” “The win would have felt pretty great,” Northeast Nodaway head coach Chaim Jenkins said. “But, this is the flip side of it. Maybe you’ve got to go through something like this in order to know just how sweet it is to go out and earn it and get the ‘W.’” The Longhorns squeaked by 43-42. “I’m not extremely satisfied with the things we did and our execution,” Skoglund said. “It was a sloppy game. At this point a win is a win and we need a lot of confidence going forward. There’s a lot of things that we can fix and be a better basketball team, but at the same time it feels good to get a little confidence.” Northeast Nodaway was led by Jackson and senior Shaun Burns, who scored 11 points each. Senior Dalton Murphy scored 12 points for the Longhorns. The Longhorns improved to 6-8 on the season and Northeast Nodaway fell to 4-12. Northeast Nodaway will host North Andrew on Friday night. They will tip off at 7:30 p.m. in Ravenwood. “They know there’s a lot of work,” Jenkins said. “They’ve done a ton of work so far. Now the issue is forgetting about this and keep chugging along.” South Nodaway will welcome Jefferson to their home floor on Friday night. Tip-off will be at 7:30 p.m. in Barnard.

South Nodaway junior Allison Hilsabeck goes up in between Northeast Nodaway defenders Dallis Coffelt (10), Holly Redden (40) and Taryn Farnan (24) to score a basket in the Lady Longhorns’ 47-31 victory Tuesday night. Hilsabeck scored six points in the victory. See Wednesday’s Daily Forum for the full game recap.

Lady Hounds try to end skid Continued from Page 7 “Third quarter I was really impressed with the execution and then defensively, we kind of turned it up a notch and that allowed us to get back in the game,” Hageman said. “To be in the game like that is good because we can learn a lot of lessons from it, but at some point we’ve got to learn those lessons so we can move forward and start getting some ‘W’s.’” Senior forward Gabby Church led the Hounds with seven points while Jasinski and sophomore guard Abby Van de Ven each scored five in the 35-23 loss.

FAIRFAX INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT WRAP-UP

Maryville is in action again Thursday night as MEC foe St. Joseph Bishop LeBlond comes to town. LeBlond beat Maryville 41-18 in the Bishop LeBlond Holiday Invitational — the first loss in this five-game skid the Lady Spoofhounds are currently marred in. Senior guard Chelsea Byland was injured in that contest and has missed the last four games, but was walking without crutches Tuesday. Hageman said Tuesday night she was going in for a check-up soon and could be back anytime or could miss another four weeks depending on what the doctors said.

Maryville’s tough season continues By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor

The Spoofhounds just can’t seem to catch a break this season. Maryville is off to a 4-10 start to the season and suffered a pair of blows over the course of the last several days. Senior forward Trent Nally sprained his ankle last Friday night in the opening seconds of Maryville’s 60-39 loss to Falls City (Neb.). The Spoofhounds’ greatest fears were confirmed as Nally will miss the rest of the season with a high ankle sprain and a potential chipped bone. He goes for an MRI on the ankle today and is currently in a walking boot. “It looks like there could be a little nick in the bone,” Kuwitzky said. “Whatever it is it may need surgery. If not, it’s gonna need rehab, so he’s done for the year.”

And it didn’t get any better Monday night as the Hounds dropped their second straight game and sixth of their last seventh, in losing 54-39 to MidBuchanan. The Dragons mixed strong outside shooting with transition layups to keep Maryville off-balance early in the contest, jumping out to a 29-18 lead. “We didn’t get back very good,” Kuwitzky said. “They ran some fast break points against us where we were back already and just weren’t even looking. That’s been another issue — we’ve got to get back and stop transition, especially when we’re gonna turn it over. We turn it over and give up layups.” In the third quarter, Maryville went on a run and cut the Mid-Buchanan lead to just six on multiple occasions, but couldn’t get over the hump. “I thought we competed, I thought we played hard,” Kuwitzky said. “I

thought we made some good things happen on offense. That was good. I was proud of that little run we made right there.” Junior Mitch Worthington scored a team-high 14 points while junior guard Hagen Snow and junior forward Jacob Cacek each chipped in with eight. The Spoofhounds are back in action Friday against Savannah and the area’s leading scorer, Bert Ernst, who is averaging 23.4 points and has a history of playing well against Maryville. “I think the first thing we have to do is go back and watch the film of our first game (against Savannah) and recognize what we need to do different this time. I think we start with that,” Kuwitzky said. “Secondly, we have a pretty good idea of what they’re going to do. … (Ernst) is the key to their team. He’s really good. I think he had eight threes against us last year here.”

Ryan Hopkins — CFX Taya Lewis — Rock Port Rock Port won the boys championship 40-34 over West Nodaway, while Nodaway-Holt won the girls championship over Tarkio, 63-41.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Kansas City LB Johnson, QB Smith added to Pro Bowl roster KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson and quarterback Alex Smith were chosen Monday to replace 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the Pro Bowl. The two substitutions means Kansas City will be sending 10 players to Hawaii. Bowman tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee in Sunday’s NFC championship loss to Seattle. Brady bowed out of the all-star game one day after New England lost to Denver in the AFC championship. This will be Johnson’s third straight Pro Bowl, while Smith will be headed to his first. They’ll be joined in Hawaii by Chiefs left tackle Branden Albert, safety Eric Berry, running back Jamaal Charles, cornerback Brandon Flowers, defensive tackle Dontari Poe, punt returner Dexter McCluster and linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. Charles is among four player captains picked for the Jan. 26 game, which will be the first Pro Bowl in which teams will be drafted rather than divided by conference.

You have had to fight hard to overcome obstacles in the past. To ease the situation in the future, you must change your whole approach. Pressuring yourself has been a major part of the problem. The simplest methods will likely lead to the highest returns in the year ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Implement a clear system to prepare yourself to meet your goals. Traveling may be the best way to find the information you need to move forward. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will be bogged down with added responsibilities today. You may have to handle someone else’s financial matters or estate. Get informed before making any big decisions. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will tend to react prematurely and get into trouble if you don’t listen carefully to what others have to say. Nothing will be as it first appears. It’s best to wait and let others approach you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The harder you are willing to work, the better off you’ll be. Your eagerness to take on responsibility will impress someone who is searching for the right person to do an important job. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Plan to go out and have a fun and social evening. You are likely to have interactions with children, and you will be surprised what they can teach you.

Look before you leap is a well-known adage. There is a bridge equivalent, which is highlighted by today’s deal. South is in four spades. West leads off with the top three

ily matters will probably require some damage control. Awkwardness may result from your current limitations. Make use of your resources, even though family members may not be eager to follow orders. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- While you are busy defending yourself, you are likely to uncover some extremely valuable information. Find an opportunity to take a little trip. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t let anyone impede your progress. Remain aware of past mistakes to avoid falling into the same patterns. Financial strategies should be presented carefully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t be overtaken by your emotions. You will do well today if you can present a stable front. Take the time to further develop your creative ideas. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will have good ideas for improving your finances. If you stay grounded, you will make all the right decisions. Trust your instincts, but don’t get carried away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Restlessness will lead to personal changes. If you communicate your differences, reforms can be made fairly easily. Likeminded individuals will offer you their support. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t be aggravated if things don’t turn out your way. Putting in extra time and energy will be necessary. Change is upon you, so prepare to accept the inevitable.

clubs. How should South continue after ruffing the third? Note North’s raise to two spades. This risked putting his side into a 4-3 fit, but to rebid one no-trump with no minor-suit stopper would have been worse. Support with support, especially in the majors. And if South had enough to move higher and only four spades, he would have rebid something other than four spades (perhaps three no-trump). South’s jump to four spades promised at least a five-card suit. South will fail only if he loses one trick in each major. The textbooks will tell you that the percentage play in spades is to cash the ace and king. If declarer does that here, though, he will go down, losing one spade, one heart and two clubs. Instead, South should take the whole deal into account and do a little preparation, so that if he does misguess spades, he will still make the con-

tract regardless of the heart position. Before touching trumps, South should play off his two diamond winners. Then he should cash his spade king and lead a spade to dummy’s nine. Here the finesse wins and the contract is home. But note that if East could win the seventh trick with the spade queen, he would be endplayed. If he leads a heart, declarer cannot lose a trick in that suit. Or if East returns a minor-suit card, South sluffs a heart from his hand and ruffs on the board.
