Council votes 4-1 to raise bar-age standard Under-21 bar entry to cease on July 1 By TONY BROWN News editor
As expected, the Maryville City Council voted 4-1 at its regular meeting Monday night to ratchet up the minimum entry age for bars and taverns inside the city limits to 21 effective July 1. Twenty-one, is of course, also the minimum legal drinking age in Missouri, but Maryville set a 19 entry standard back in the 1990s. Ironically the age limit was originally adopted not to make things easier on college-age revelers but to keep high school students out of the bars. Before the age-19 minimum was established anyone of any age could enter a bar as long as they didn’t consume alcohol unless they were 21. Last May the council voted 3-2 to leave the longstanding age-19 rule alone. Weighing in that decision was the argument set forth by the Northwest Missouri State University Student Senate, which took the stance that allowing under-21 patrons into bars gives college students a safe place to dance and socialize. Upping the age standard, students told the council, would lead to an increase in the number of “house parties” at private residences where IDs aren’t checked and police don’t patrol. But in the 10 months since the council’s initial vote, the issue continued to simmer as municipal staff, working under the governing board’s direction, began crafting a series of ordinances styled as a “comprehensive policy” governing public alcohol consumption.
“I don’t know that it’s the City Council’s place to find entertaining things for 19- and 20-year-olds to do,” — Jeff Funston As the proposed policy began to take shape, Council Member Jeff Funston, and Mayor Jim Fall, began to have second thoughts. Those thoughts turned into action two weeks ago when both men signaled that they would vote for raising the age limit to 21 if a second vote were held. The shift meant that Renee Riedel became the lone holdout for the age-19 standard, which was opposed from the beginning by council members Ron Moss and Glenn Jonagan. On Monday, Funston noted that most other college towns in Missouri have adopted an age-21 standard. He also dismissed comments by a number of people in the gallery, including university/council liaison and Student Senator Dannen Merrill, that barring 19- and 20-year-olds would leave college students with no place to go. “I don’t know that it’s the City Council’s place to find entertaining things for 19- and 20-year-olds to do,” Funston said. Fall admitted that he found his decision to change his vote a difficult one, but decided in the end that keeping under-21 patrons out of drinking establishments boiled down to a safety issue. “From the information I am seeing, and from what I have read, binge drinking is almost, if not, epidemic,” Fall said. “… I think this is a health issue, and that is the reason I have changed my mind.” See UNDER 21, Page 6

Speaking for the opposition
Annette Hoskey, standing at rear, who with her husband, Mick Hoskey, owns Molly’s, a drinking and dancing club on the courthouse square, addresses the Maryville City Council Monday night. The Hoskeys both stated their opposition to raising Maryville’s minimum bar-entry age from 19 to 21. Nevertheless, the council approved the change, effective July 1, on a 4-1 vote.
More liquor rules await decision By TONY BROWN News editor
Now that the Maryville City Council, by a 4-1 vote, has decided to ban 19- and 20-year-olds from local drinking establishments, look for the city’s governing board to begin moving toward passage of a “comprehensive” alcohol policy. Should the various components of that policy gain approval by the council at its next regular meeting Feb. 10, three main sets of regulations affecting public alcohol consumption would be put in place, probably this summer. Among other things, the new rules would abolish drinking on city streets, sidewalks and in most other municipal spaces, in addition to private property that is open to the public, such as store parking lots. Maryville is reportedly the only college town in Missouri without such an ordinance. The so-called “open container” ordinance conSee LIQUOR, Page 6

Facing a new reality
Molly’s, a bar and dance club on the east side of the courthouse square, welcomes large groups of under-21 patrons virtually every week during the school year. Owners Mick and Annette Hoskey told the Maryville City Council this week that a new ordinance raising the bar-age entry limit to 21 will have an adverse effect on their business.
Council’s alcohol plan rubs some wrong way By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

Concerned about what comes next
Maryville businessman Todd Stagner is voicing concerns about a series of proposed ordinances that provide for major changes in the way the city regulates public consumption of alcohol.

The City Council passed an ordinance this week that, after July 1, will raise the minimum bar and tavern entry age in Maryville to 21. Other proposals to more strictly control public alcohol consumption — especially by college students — are in the works as well. Additional alcohol measures expected to go before the council in a couple of weeks include restrictions on drinking in public

and “nuisance parties” plus a new agreement providing for more cooperation between Maryville Public Safety officers and Northwest Missouri State University police. Not everybody is happy about the proposed changes in a town that has traditionally taken a liberal stance with regard to where and when folks can drink. “As an older person going to the bar, I think it’s a good idea because there will be less people,” Northwest student Ty Gaddy, 23, said. “But, from the perspective of a bar

Thomson urges support JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri House committee is considering legislation to offer additional financial assistance to persuade more top students to stay in the state after graduation day. The legislation would add a forgivable loan of up to $5,000 per academic year to Missouri’s Bright Flight scholarship. Each year a student works in Missouri after school would count toward one year of loan forgiveness. Leaving before the loan is repaid would require repaying the loan with interest. Republican House member Mike Thomson, of Maryville, says too many top Missouri students leave. Bright Flight scholarships are awarded based on ACT or SAT scores. The legislation was examined Tuesday by the House Higher Education Committee. Gov. Jay Nixon has proposed $17 million in next year’s budget for a Bright Flight loan program.

State announces ACT changes By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Changes in Missouri’s statewide testing program will result in high school juniors having an opportunity to take the ACT college entrance examination free of charge. The new rules, which take effect during the 2014’15 school year, should also reduce the number of hours required to administer statewide grade-level tests, according to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Missouri will join more than a dozen states that offer the ACT test to all students. According to DESE officials, high school juniors in Missouri will be given the opportunity to take the ACT test one time free of charge. The results will be used to evaluate college and career readiness. Students will be required to bear the cost of retaking the test. Many teens take the exam multiple times in an attempt to raise their scores. “A lot of students either don’t take the ACT or

Boy badly wounded RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Police in a North Carolina town are searching for a man who sprayed a church playground with gunfire, striking four youths and leaving a 12-year-old boy gravely wounded. The Rev. James Gailliard at Word Tabernacle Church in Rocky Mount said the shooting happened shortly before 6 p.m. Monday, as about two dozen neighborhood teens played basketball on courts behind the sanctuary. Gailliard was in his office when he heard more than 15 gunshots and ran outside. Among those hit was 12-year-old Nyreek Horne, who the preacher said was shot in the head. He cradled the bleeding boy until help arrived. “In our community, we do hear gunshots from time to time. But what was different this time was that it was so close and it was so many,” Gailliard said. “I held him in my arms until the paramedics got there. He was shot in the eye and the bullet went out the back of his brain. He was struggling to breathe, but he was fighting.” Police said Tuesday that Horne remained in critical condition. Three other young males shot — ages 13, 17 and 19 — were all treated and released.
Laughing clerk foils robber FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A 26-year-old St. Louis County man faces weapons charges after his unsuccessful robbery attempt was laughed off by a clerk who thought the holdup was a joke. Robert Baker Jr. of Ferguson was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful procession of a firearm after police say he tried to rob a Dollar General store. Baker was arrested at a McDonalds across the street from the dollar store. Police say they found a gun his pocket. He remains in police custody on a $15,000 bond. Online court records do not list an attorney on his behalf.
Gassy cows damage barn BERLIN (AP) — A herd of dairy cows nearly lifted the roof off their barn in central Germany when methane released by the animals caused an explosion. Police in Hesse state said in a statement that a static electric charge apparently triggered the detonation, and a spurt of flame, on Monday at a farm in Rasdorf. The roof was slightly damaged and one cow suffered light burns. No people were hurt. Police say 90 cows are kept in the shed and it wasn’t clear why quantities of methane had built up. Bovine belching and flatulence releases large quantities of the gas.

Euphoria Nails recently opened its doors at 1111 S. Main St. in Maryville just north of the Hy-Vee supermarket. Owners Tony and Christine Nguyen moved their nail spa from St. Joseph because they thought Maryville was a better fit for them. To celebrate their grand
opening, the Nguyens recently hosted a Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting and spoke about the services their business offers to customers. The spa will provide a full line of nail services, including manicures and pedicures, deluxe packages, acrylic nails and a large variety of nail polish. During its grand-opening
month, Euphoria Nails is offering a 10 percent discount on any service or $10 off any service of $50 or more along with a free bottle of massage lotion for new customers through Feb. 21. The Nguyens are also planning to hold a series of “pamper parties” and other special events. “We’ll set up a sign and special table with balloons
and flowers for a group of five or more,” Christine said. “Then the bride, birthday girl or guest of honor will get $10 off.” Tony Nguyen said both owners take pride in maintaining high standards of quality for their customers. “We sanitize tools between each use and throw away buffers after only one use per each customer,” he said.

Education needs more from state
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It’s Missouri State of the State quiz time. Who said this: “Now, I am pleased to present my legislative initiatives for better schools, a stronger economy, better health care and other important needs.” If you guessed Gov. Jay Nixon, the Democrat who gave his sixth State of the State speech on Tuesday (Jan. 21), you would be wrong. It was Gov. Matt Blunt, a Republican, giving his first State of the State speech on Jan. 25, 2005. There is a certain similarity to these things, regardless of who gives them. The governor, regardless of party, says the state of the state is strong, even when it isn’t. He proposes new money for pet projects. Members of his party cheer, and the opposing party sits on its hands. So it was Tuesday evening, when Mr. Nixon pushed many of the same themes Mr. Blunt pushed in 2005. This time around, Republicans are criticizing the speech as being too heavy on spending. In fact, if the state had invested more over the last eight years, Mr. Nixon might not be trying to address the same old problems. But that would have involved tax increases. And no matter what party a Missouri governor represents, tax increases are bad. Very bad. Worse than perpetual mediocrity. Mr. Nixon’s biggest and most important promise Tuesday was to get the state about halfway toward fully funding the $600 million shortfall in the formula that determines how much Missouri spends on K-12 education. He wants $278 million more this year and more next year to fill the gap. In all, he wants to spend $493 million on education this year, including K-12, higher education and early childhood education. Republicans who instinctively call such proposals “big government” spending, as many did Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, need to remember something: It’s their formula. In 2005, under the leadership of Mr. Blunt and a Republican-controlled Legislature, lawmakers rewrote the so-called “foundation formula.” Having written it, they proceeded to ignore it. The biggest share of the blame lies with the Great Recession, which robbed all states of needed revenue as the economy contracted. But plenty of blame lies with Mr. Nixon, who appears to be working from Mr. Blunt’s notes when talking about “holding the line on taxes.” The rest of the blame lies with the Republicans in the Legislature who talk about funding education, but talk is as far as it goes. Mr. Nixon on Tuesday night challenged lawmakers to come up with $278 million more for elementary and secondary schools. The response should have been simple: That’s not good enough. Unfortunately, they are too stuck in their tax-cut fueled ideological race to the bottom that they can’t see an opportunity to gain the political upper hand. … Editor’s note: Alternative Views appears each Wednesday on the Daily Forum opinion page and consists of recently published editorials from other newspapers around the state.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thank you to Community Services for coordinating the family lists for toy contributions. Thank you to all businesses who allowed us to place barrels for toy donations and those that gave monetary donations or had toy drives. It is all greatly appreciated. I would like to personally thank my fellow members of Today’s Civic Women for all the hours spent on Toys for Tots. Without all your help, this could not have been such a successful year. Thanks again to everyone. Diane Miller & Ann Martin Toys for Tots Chairs
A MINUTE WITH MIKE
Difference exists between budget plans of Gov. Nixon, Legislature Members of the House and Senate convened in the House Chamber last week for a joint session to hear Gov. Jay Nixon give his State of the State address. This is when the governor outlines his agenda for the coming session and unveils his spending proposal for the 2015 fiscal year. Before the governor’s words quit echoing through the chamber, the budget committee and the appropriations staff were busy trying to figure out how we make this budget work and how we combine our priorities into a working document with a budget that will balance with the money we expect to bring in. The governor’s budget would raise our total operating budget more than two and a half billion dollars and would increase general revenue spending by over one billion. A large portion of Gov. Nixon’s speech focused on increased funding for public education at all levels. Specifically, the governor called for an additional $278 million for the foundation formula that provides funding to our public K-12 schools, $15 million for public school transportation and $10 million to help expand broadband internet capacity for schools throughout Missouri. For our colleges and universities, he called for $42.1 million in funding to be distributed based on performance, $22 million to help prepare students for careers in highdemand STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields
and another $20 million to help train students for jobs in the mental health field. More than $28 million was proposed to allocate additional money to scholarship programs such as Bright Flight, Access Missouri, and A+ Program.
Mike Thomson The governor’s proposed plan also calls for funding increases to early childhood education programs like First Steps, Parents as Teachers, and the Missouri Preschool Program. In total, the governor’s proposed budget would provide a funding boost of more than $490 million to education at all levels.
Nixon has called for increased funding in many other areas throughout state government which was met with enthusiasm from many. Increased funding for education, mental health, public employees and other important areas is certainly needed and welcomed. It was, however, obvious that many are skeptical and concerned about this very large proposal and how we would meet the obligations that it set forth. The biggest point of contention stems from the fact that the governor has based his budget on future revenue growth of 5.2 percent. The House and Senate have agreed to a more modest revenue growth estimate of 4.2 percent. This sets up a potential showdown between Gov. Nixon and the Legislature as the governor’s budget would be more than $300 million out of balance, based on the Legislature’s estimates. Once again there will be division and debate concerning the budget process. It is always a challenge, but when the process comes to an end, we will put together a budget that we believe is balanced and we will do our best to provide for education and all of the other services that are important to Missourians.

STRAIGHT TALK FROM SAM
Graves makes academy appointments
The Constitution says that the president shall “from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union ….” That time comes this week as President Obama will report on the condition of our country and outline his legislative goals for the year. It is clear that 2013 did not go as well for the president as he was hoping. From the IRS and Benghazi scandals to the embarrassing start for his healthcare law, the president will likely use his address to hit the reset button and try to regain some credibility with the American people. He’ll probably try to shift the focus away from his job performance by rehashing a number of his liberal talking points, like giving amnesty to illegal immigrants, or income in-
equality, all the while failing to mention the role his policies have played
Sam Graves
in furthering that gap. Consider that the percentage of the American workforce that has a job or is looking for one stands at only 62.8 percent, the lowest in 36 years. There are still more than 10 million Americans unemployed, and 8 million more who have part-time jobs but would prefer full-time ones. The president’s policies are not working, and the American people deserve better. In 2010, the president used the State of the Union to declare that “jobs must be our number one focus.” Regrettably, that laser-like focus never materialized, and our economic situation suffered as a result. In 2014, I hope the president uses the opportunity to repeat that pledge, and to mean it this time.

Fresh Tips for Game Day Dips
Family Features
When family and friends gather together to watch the game, loading up the table with a variety of easy-tograb, flavorful appetizers is a winning plan. After all, casual food and good times are what game day is all about. In the world of appetizers, dip is king. From savory to sweet, this simple tailgating party addition can take on flavors that span the globe, or that are as American and as beloved as the gridiron game itself. • Keep it light – A tailgating scene can seem overwhelming for those who don’t want to splurge all their day’s calories, so be sure to have lots of fresh, crunchy vegetables on hand. Start with your standard dippers – like sliced carrots, broccoli and cucumbers – or score big with unique vegetable dipper options – like snap peas, asparagus spears and radishes. This recipe for Cucumber Cups creates simple and crunchy bitesized noshes with a delicious dip of Sabra Hummus in the center. For more great game day recipes, visit www. sabra.com. • Serve Delightful Dippers – Potato and tortilla chips go hand-in-hand with tailgating festivities, but beyond these standards is a whole world of other dipping options. For a Mediterranean touch, go with flatbread,
pita bread or pita chips. Instead of plain old butter rounds, opt for more texture with multi-grain crackers that include raw flax, chia or sesame seeds. Or, serve up a warm batch of buffalo wings with this smoky and spicy recipe for Hummus Buffalo Wing Dip. • Offer Variety – A large spread of dippers calls for a wide assortment of scrumptious dips. As an alternative to sour cream or cheese-based dips – which are loaded with fat, preservatives and sodium – serve up an assortment of delicious Sabra Hummus. Hummus offers up the protein, iron and fiber that other dips lack. Incorporate a few of these dip tips into your game day strategy and watch as fans huddle up to fill their plates.

HY-VEE NUTRITIONIST
Make Sunday a super food day Whether you’re a football fanatic or couldn’t care less, we can all unite around one thing on Big Game Sunday: the food. This is America’s second largest eating day, falling behind only Thanksgiving in terms of calories consumed. An average daily intake for Americans is 2,000 calories, but during the big football show we eat that much in less than three hours. Top picks for game day include chicken wings, chili, meat and cheese trays, nachos, chips and dips galore. Often missing from the spread, however, are fruits and vegetables. If you’re afraid a veggie platter will play second string to the standard fare, pull a kitchen quarterback sneak by incorporating fresh foods in creative ways. Imagine the cheers you’d get if you carved bell peppers into football-helmet shapes and used
them to hold carrot and celery sticks. Watch the crowd go wild when you present a tray of dark chocolate-dipped strawberries decorated as miniature footballs. And savor a big win when guests throw back a few of your potato pigskins—a lighter and veggiefilled take on fried potato skins. Fruits and vegetables can add more variety, nutrition and color to the traditional super spread— and that’s a touchdown any day. —Your Maryville Hy-Vee dietitian LOADED POTATO PIGSKINS Serves 12 (2 potato skins each) All You Need: 3 large russet potatoes 1 tablespoon Hy-Vee olive oil 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper 4 tablespoons Hy-Vee light sour cream 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 cup Hy-Vee shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 small tomato, diced 1/2 cup shredded cabbage All You Do:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into quarters. Arrange potato quarters on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skins facing up. Brush olive oil over the skins of the potatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper over potatoes. Bake about 20 minutes or until potato flesh is easily pierced with a fork and skins are crisp and golden. Allow potatoes to cool to room temperature. Reduce oven tem-
perature to 350 degrees F.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, oregano and garlic powder; stir until well combined. 3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, use a serrated knife to remove most of the potato flesh from each quarter, leaving just a quarter-inch of the potato skin. Return skins to the same baking sheet, skin-side down. Sprinkle cheese over potato skins and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. 4. Top each potato skin with a spoonful of the diced tomato and shredded cabbage. Drizzle sour cream mixture over loaded skins and serve immediately.

City Manager Greg McDanel said that Springfield, home of Missouri State University, currently has such an ordinance on the books. He recommended, however, that implementation of such a restriction in Maryville be accompanied by an extensive education campaign to acquaint bar owners with its implications. McDanel also said that “special consideration” should be given to establishment owners who selfreport violations. Other liquor control ordinances being discussed include an excessive noise law and required server training with regard to checking IDs and reporting violations. McDanel told the council that both these measures are problematic due to limitations related to technology and available staffing. Yet another alcohol enforcement issue pertains to “bar patrol” activities by Maryville Public Safety. For years, the department has assigned officers to visit drinking establishments on Thursday through Saturday night during the school year. In part, the effort has been federally funded through a Missouri Department of Public Safety grant known as EUDL, or Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws. Wood said EUDL funding will end in a few months and requested additional municipal revenue to make up the difference. On Monday the council unanimously approved a $12,000 appropriation to keep the bar patrol program operating. Following this week’s vote on the bar-age standard, City Clerk Sheila Smail read the three main alcohol-related proposals into the record. Bringing the ordinances to the floor with a motion and a second and giving them a “first reading,” as has now been done, means all that remains to place the measures on the books is a “second reading” and a “yes” vote by three of the five council members. Typically in Maryville both readings and the vote occur during the same meeting. But due to the controversial nature of the alcohol ordinances, the council decided to delay the vote two weeks in hopes of collecting more input from citizens. All of the currently proposed alcohol consumption and control ordinances are available for review at www.maryville.org/publicinput. Garage Doors & Openers • Auto Glass • Lockouts •

sulted in about $900,000 in increased state appropriations, a fraction of the institution’s $81 million general operations and education budget. “This speaks to performance,” said Northwest
President John Jasinski. “Such performance is not possible without all Bearcats – students, faculty, staff, alumni and the communities in which we operate and serve – pulling together and focusing on student success. “… We’re focused on retention, graduation, keeping education accessible and affordable, and, most importantly, delivering that high-quality education that Northwest students deserve and receive.” Missouri’s public twoand four-year institutions were funded last year using a model incorporating performance measures across five categories. Performance funding this year will be along similar lines, according to a university
release. Northwest’s performance measures are: freshman-tosophomore retention rate; six-year cohort graduation rates; improvements in assessments of general education; percent of total education and general expenditures spent on the school’s “core mission”; and the percent of fulltime, first-time, degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate students receiving institutional financial aid. “Performance funding is part of the national mantra, and this is about results,” Jasinski said. “We always have improvement opportunities and have some challenges to address, but we are proud of meeting all performance funding targets.”
Alcohol policies cause concern Continued from Page 1 owner, I could see how it could really hurt your business. Clubs like Molly’s, where a lot of the people who go are under 21, could see their business suffer.” Other students are looking at the restrictions from the point of view of their younger classmates. “It will stink for my friends who aren’t 21 and won’t be able to go hang out anymore because Molly’s is a place to hang out without going to a party,” Northwest student Ashely Cross, 21, said. “(I prefer) the bar. Definitely the bar.” Another argument is that young people who want to drink are going to do so no matter how many ordinances go on the books. “I think it’s dumb,” Northwest student Isaiah Sanders, 20, said. “I don’t see what it’s going to help. Kids now are just going to
go to house parties to get alcohol. Honestly, I think it’s gonna cause more kids to drink. They were going out dancing at Molly’s. They were just going out to dance or whatever, not just to get drunk. I think it’s going to be countereffective.” While the bar-age measure has already passed, the remaining proposed ordinances are causing concern as well. Todd Stagner is a Shelter Insurance agent in Maryville who also owns a number of rental properties that he often leases to college students. “(The bar entry age) is not my issue,” Stagner said. “The two ordinances I have a problem with are the nuisance party and the open container and how it’s going to be enforced.” Stagner believes those ordinances will encourage students to leave town on
the weekend in order to find someplace else to drink. “What concerns me is the enrollment at Northwest,” Stagner said. “What concerns me about the drop in enrollment is the fact that (the City Council) seems to want them to leave town. As a business owner, I want to see the kids here on the weekends. I want them to spend their (money) here.” As a landlord, Stagner said he feels the city is telling students they’re not welcome. “Our perspective is ‘guys, quit running the kids out of town.’ There’s a lot of empty houses for rent. We already have a housing issue. The campus has empty dorm rooms.” Dieterich Hall on the Northwest campus was closed this year due to declining enrollment. Stagner said he has 31 college students living in his properties and believes that once the proposed or-
dinances pass Maryville police will have a freer hand to hassle students with regard to parties and drinking. He added that, in his opinion, the City Council is trying to legislate morality. “The city council is not the moral police,” Stagner said. “Prohibition didn’t work.” The council developed its “comprehensive” alcohol plan after studying ordinances on the books in other Missouri college towns like Warrensburg and Cape Girardeau. But conditions in those communities don’t necessarily exist here, Stagner said. “Every town that they looked at was nearly double our (size),” Stagner said. “What I wanted them to do was to compare with a city the size of Maryville. But they haven’t done that.”
Under-21 bar entry to cease July 1 Continued from Page 1 Fall has stated several times that the entry-age question is part and parcel of the comprehensive policy, which, if ultimately passed, will likely contain restrictions on “nuisance parties” and drinking on streets, sidewalks and in
other public spaces. Other proposed components of the plan include noise restrictions, a ban on all-you-can-drink specials and server training. However, municipal staff is lukewarm about the city’s ability to effectively put such rules in place. Riedel, the council’s
sole woman and youngest member, criticized the comprehensive plan as a “fragmented puzzle” and questioned why the age minimum had been put “on a fast train” ahead of the other measures. She called on her colleagues to ask themselves whether “our comprehen-
sive angle wasn’t just an excuse” to raise the bar age. Mick Hoskey, who owns Molly’s, a bar and dance club on the east side of the courthouse square, challenged the council to “come to the bar on a busy night and actually see what you are looking to change and eliminate.”

MARYVILLE, Mo. – For the second consecutive year, Northwest Missouri State University has achieved all five benchmarks within the state of Missouri’s performancebased funding model. As a result, university officials announced Tuesday, Northwest will receive 100 percent of the funding appropriated to the university within the state’s fiscal 2015 budget. The exact amount of that funding, performancebased and otherwise, will depend on the final version of the budget, which must still pass muster in both the House and Senate before being signed by Gov. Jay Nixon. Last year’s performance bonus at Northwest re-

tains exceptions for special events, which would have to gain city approval on a case-by-case basis. Alcohol would also remain legal at Northwest Missouri State University’s “Bearcat Zone” parking lots prior to home football games and in the camping areas at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. Another of the “comprehensive plan” ordinances addresses nuisance parties, defined as “a social gathering of ten or more people” that results in any of a dozen triggering behaviors, most of which are already against the law. Under the ordinance, reasonable indications that such behaviors have occurred would give Maryville Public Safety and University Police officers authority to disperse such gatherings. MPS Director Keith Wood emphasized, however, that the proposal gives priority to dispersal rather than to the arrest or ticketing of violators. Triggering actions include things like unlawful consumption of alcohol, fighting, property damage, littering, outdoor urination or defecation, cars parked in yards or in locations that impede traffic flow, threatening behavior, possession or use of illegal drugs, trespassing and indecent exposure. A third proposed ordinance creates a mutual aid agreement between the city and the University Police Department granting municipal commissions to campus officers and allowing them to participate in enforcement actions in a designated area adjoining the east side of campus. The area, shaped roughly like a sideways “U,” extends from Prather Avenue south to West Second Street. Bordered on the east by Mulberry Street, the zone extends west to college drive at its north end and Grand Avenue to the south. Offenses for which mutual aid between the two departments can be invoked comprise traffic and parking violations, including such crimes as driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, speeding, and careless and imprudent driving. In addition to the three core ordinances — four including the bar-age entry standard — the council is also considering several lesser measures, a couple of which have failed to win the recommendation of municipal staff on grounds that they are either too expensive or too difficult to enforce. Among the proposals is a ban on bar specials that offer an unlimited number of drinks for a fixed price or provide alcoholic drinks to customers at less than their cost to the business.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS Lady Spoofhounds fall in 1st round CAMERON, Mo. – The Lady Spoofhounds fell behind host Cameron early in the Cameron Invitational Monday night and could not recover. The Lady Dragons opened up a 17-7 lead after the first quarter and held a 27-15 advantage at halftime. A big third quarter by Cameron erased any chance of a comeback, as the Dragons outscored Maryville 18-6 in the period. Maryville won the fourth quarter 13-10, but it wasn’t enough as the Lady Hounds fell 55-34 to drop to 4-12 on the season, their seventh straight loss. Sophomore guard Abby Van de Ven led the way with 11 points and sophomore forward Josie Patton returned from an illness to chip in with nine points after missing the last couple games. Maryville will play Savannah at 8:30 p.m. tonight in the consolation bracket. On the other side of the consolation bracket, eighthseeded Excelsior Springs will play No. 5 seed Lawson to advance to Friday night’s consolation championship against the winner of the Maryville-Savannah game.
North Nodaway downs South Page COLLEGE SPRINGS, Iowa – The North Nodaway girls basketball team traveled to College Springs, Iowa, Tuesday night and came away with a 45-27 victory over the South Page Lady Rebels. South Page led 10-5 at the end of the first quarter, but by halftime, the Lady Mustangs had rallied to hold a 28-22 lead. North Nodaway kept the Lady Rebels off the scoreboard throughout the third quarter, extending its lead to 37-22 and again outscored South Page in the fourth quarter by an 8-5 margin to produce the final score. Senior Cambry Schluter paced North Nodaway with 19 points, six rebounds and six steals, while fellow senior Erin Greeley chipped in with nine points and six steals for the Lady Mustangs, now 8-8 on the season. Next action for the Lady Mustangs will be Friday night when they travel to Ravenwod to face Northeast Nodaway. The girls contest is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., with the boys game to follow.
Jefferson girls advance in North Platte Tourney winner’s bracket DEARBORN, Mo. – The third-seeded Jefferson girls basketball team dominated on the defensive end of the court, handing Maur Hill (Atchison, Kan.) a 34-16 loss Monday night in the opening round of the North Platte Tournament in Dearborn. Jefferson opened up a 14-5 halftime lead and then held Maur Hill scoreless in the third quarter to push its lead to 25-5 after three quarters of play. “Although we struggled to score early, we played with good defensive intensity and were finally able to get going after a couple buckets off our defense,” head coach Tyler Pedersen said. Freshman guard Kelsi McQuinn led the Lady Eagles with nine points, six rebounds and four steals. Junior Danae Schieber added seven points and sophomore Vanessa Holtman chipped in with six. Jefferson (8-9) will play the winner of Tuesday night’s matchup between No. 2 seed Mound City and No. 7 West Platte at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. On the other side of the winner’s bracket, top-seeded host North Platte awaits the winner of Tuesday night’s victor on Thursday. No. 4 seed Plattsburg was in action against Lone Jack and Tuesday night results weren’t available before the Daily Forum went to press.
Eagles fall to No. 5 seed Maur Hill DEARBORN, Mo. – The Jefferson boys basketball team fell just short in its comeback attempt Monday night in the first round of the North Platte Tournament. The fourth-seeded Eagles and Maur Hill, the No. 5 seed, went into halftime tied at 23 with Maur Hill outscoring Jefferson in the first quarters and the Eagles returning the favor in the second. The third quarter did the Eagles in as Maur Hill pushed out to a 41-30 lead. However, Jefferson refused to go away that easily, cutting the Maur Hill lead down to two points with 45 seconds to play, but couldn’t get over the hump, falling 50-44. “We played a good team tonight,” head coach Tim Jermain said. “Our downfall was getting out scored 18 to seven in the third quarter. We came back and were only down two with 45 seconds left, but could not get a shot to fall. We had a great comeback, but once again fell a little short.” Senior Alex Holtman led the Eagles with 13 points while fellow senior Kyler Farnan chipped in with 10 points, four rebounds, three steals and four blocks. Jefferson (11-6) will play the loser of Tuesday night’s game featuring top-seeded West Platte versus Plattsburg at 6 p.m. tonight in Dearborn. Results were unavailable from the West Platte-Plattsburg contest as of the Daily Forum’s press deadline. On the other side of the consolation bracket, seventh-seeded North Platte awaits the loser of the Mound City-Lone Jack contest on Tuesday night. Wednesday night’s winners will play Friday for the consolation title.

Cardiac Trojans prevail again By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
For the second time in as many nights and fifth time in a row, the Nodaway-Holt boys prevailed in the closing moments of its game. After claiming a five point win Monday night, the Trojans held on for a four-point victory, 51-47, over South Nodaway Tuesday night to improve to 11-7 on the season. “It’s a ‘W,’ so we’ll take it,” Nodaway-Holt head coach Terry Petersen said. “It’s about what it amounts to, we’re just pulling them out. It is a win. We lost the first four close ones, but maybe we can get a little momentum.” Neither team could establish much dominance early, as Nodaway-Holt led 15-10 after one quarter of play. The Longhorns turned the tides in the second quarter, jumping out to a 22-20 halftime advantage.
“When it’s that way, then any single play can kind of swing the momentum and I think that was definitely the case tonight,” South Nodaway head coach Dustin Skoglund said. “You give up one offensive board and that’s worth two or three possessions it seems like when you’re talking about momentum.” The Longhorns still held a slim advantage, 34-33, after a back-and-forth third quarter, but down the stretch the Trojans made enough plays to pull off their fifth straight victory. “We just weren’t able to finish in the clutch,” Skoglund said. Nodaway-Holt junior forward Jackson Beattie led all scorers with 22 points while seniors Devin Albertson and Nick Patterson scored nine and seven points, respectively. “We’ve had I think four different leading scorers, so that helps. We’re balanced,” Petersen said. “Nick’s get-
ting stronger every time out. Since the break he’s gotten stronger. Jackson came up big and Devin had enough. We did enough good things to win.” South Nodaway was led by seniors Dalton Murphy, who scored 13 points, and Damien Willmore, who finished with nine points, including a couple clutch threes down the stretch to keep the Longhorns in the game when Nodaway-Holt started to pull away. “We’ve been waiting for guys to make plays, make basketball plays all year long,” Skoglund said. “I feel like we had a couple of those tonight. We just needed a couple more.” Nodaway-Holt is back in action Friday night at home against Craig/Fairfax. The boys game will tip off around 7:30 p.m. South Nodaway (5-10) hosts West Nodaway Thursday night in a girls and boys double header, with the boys game scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
Defense carries Lady Bluejays By KEVIN BIRDSELL
Staff writer
The Northeast Nodaway Lady Bluejays basketball team has been taking extra practice time to work on upping its defensive intensity and Tuesday night it paid off. The Lady Jays held the Bulldogs to two points in the first quarter and four points in the second quarter. The strong defense led them to an 18-6 halftime lead. “We’ve been down the last couple games with our intensity level,” Northeast Nodaway head coach Vance Proffitt said. “We came out and did what I wanted. We came out and played hard, finished around the rim, got some good rebounds and steals and did things well in that first half.” The Dogs came out of halftime with some intensity of their own, holding the Lady Jays to four third-quarter points. The Lady Jays got momentum back in the final quarter and came away with the 33-21 victory. “We just went back to man-to-man,” Proffitt said. “I thought that picked us up on its own, just switching back over. The girls just picked it up again. We took some possessions off and that’s never good, no matter who you’re playing. We let them creep back in, so in the fourth quarter we came back out and picked it up again and shut them back down.” With the victory, the Lady Jays improved to 10-8. Seniors Taryn Farnan and Claudia Wiederhold led the Lady Jays with eight points each. Sophomore Dallis Coffelt chipped in with six points. Northeast Nodaway will play North Nodaway on Friday, with tip-off scheduled for 6 p.m.

The Northeast Nodaway boys basketball team took a tip from the girls game prior to theirs and turned up their defensive intensity Tuesday night against Craig/Fairfax. The Bluejays were looking for some redemption after falling to North Andrew in Rosendale last Friday night. The first quarter belonged to the Bluejays, where they outscored the Hornets 18-4. The defense stayed hot in the second quarter and the Jays went into halftime leading 2711. “The difference in our 2-3 zone between the beginning of the year and now is amazing,” Northeast Nodaway head coach Chaim Jenkins said. “We are much more active and we step out on shooters a lot better. We looked a little slow out there in the beginning (of the year), but that’s totally not the case now. We are playing a really active zone and that’s what we’ve wanted to do all along. It’s really great to see that.” Like the girls game, the second half intensity from Craig/ Fairfax picked up immensely, and the Hornets were able to outscore the Jays 17-10 in the third quarter. “We knew a lot heading into this game that that team never dies,” Jenkins said. “They always come back and keep hitting for the entire game. Our goal heading out of halftime was to match their fight. The whole game we were waiting for their run and I think we took it really well.” The fourth quarter was again taken by the Bluejays, where they put up 24 points. That strong period led to the Jays getting the 61-49 victory. The win moves the Bluejays to 5-13 on the year. Junior Garet Jackson led the Bluejays in scoring with 16 points. Senior Joel Scroggie also had a huge game, scoring 15 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, dishing out seven assists and blocking five shots. “The first time we played them, we had a little size advantage,” Jenkins said. “Scroggie got in a little bit of foul trouble the first time. We knew if he stayed out of foul trouble, he would be a presence. And when he’s being a presence we need to get it to him.” The Bluejays will welcome the Mustangs of North Nodaway to their home floor on Friday. Tip-off will be at 7:30 p.m., immediately following the girls game.

Nodaway-Holt hangs on against South Nodaway By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor

JASON LAWRENCE/DAILY FORUM
Nodaway-Holt senior guard Kalli Devers launches a three-pointer over South Nodaway’s Mallory McConkey during Tuesday night’s the Lady Trojans’ 51-41 victory.
For three quarters, the No. 1 team in Class 1 didn’t look much like itself, but in the end, the Nodaway-Holt Lady Trojans pulled out the 17th straight victory. “It was a tough game, they played well,” Nodaway-Holt head coach David Carroll said. “ South Nodaway led early, before backto-back threes from Lady Trojans’ senior guards Kalli Devers and Megan Rosenbohm put Nodaway-Holt back out in front 12-7 in the first quarter. The Lady Trojans jumped out ahead 16-8 after one and held a 26-18 lead at halftime, but the Lady Longhorns weren’t going away as senior guard Leann Walker scored 10 points in the first half on the strength of three three-pointers. “A lot of times you play those top-tier teams and as a coach you try to get your coach to believe, but this group, I don’t have to convince them, they do believe,” South Nodaway head coach Aaron Murphy said. “The first quarter and fourth quarter we hung with them. If we would have limited and started a little quicker, I believe we would’ve been in striking distance and not forced to do some things that gave them some opportunities at the end.” They went on a 9-0 run to take a 27-26
lead early in the third quarter — and the lead went back and forth with Nodaway-Holt taking a 38-30 lead after three quarters. “What was good about the deal was that when they took over the lead from us, we fought back,” Carroll said. “We had a little adversity there and we didn’t quit.” Rosenbohm scored nine of the Lady Trojans’ final 13 points as they held on for the 51-41 victory. Rosenbohm finished with 25 points for the Lady Trojans while senior guard Darcie Gallagher and sophomore forward Jordan Long scored five apiece in the win. Walker finished with 14 points for South Nodaway while senior Andrea Henggeler added 12 and freshman guard Mallory McConkey chipped in with eight points. Murphy said his pair of freshman guards, Mallory and Meaghan McConkey have blended in well with the seniors on the team to give them some balance at the guard position. “The guard area is where we’ve really struggled and they fit right into a group of seniors,” Murphy said. “They’re learning every game and they’re getting better every game.” Nodaway-Holt (17-0) will play Craig/ Fairfax Friday night at 6 p.m. South Nodaway (10-5) is back in action Thursday night as the Lady Longhorns host West Nodaway at 6 p.m.
Zimmer confident as indoor season gets back under way By DAVID BOYCE
Northwest Missouri State University
MARYVILLE, Mo. — Throughout January, the days have been so cold that it takes a bit of courage to venture outside. Northwest Missouri State sophomore Nolan Zimmer is not among the timid when it comes to extreme weather. In order for Zimmer to have a successful indoor season and carry that momentum into the spring for the outdoor season, he knows he has to get his miles in. Zimmer, a cross country and distance runner for the Bearcats, has been putting in the work inside and outside. It hasn’t mattered to Zimmer when the temperature dips below freezing at 32 degrees. That is actually balmy conditions for Zimmer and some of his teammates. “Even if the weather is pretty cold, we try to get outdoors as much as possible even though it is indoor season,” Zimmer said. “Definitely, we have run well be-

The meet Saturday begins a
stretch in which the Bearcats will compete in some form every weekend in February in preparation for the MIAA Indoors Track and Field Championships, which will be held Feb. 28-March 2 at Missouri Southern in Joplin. A year ago at conference, Zimmer finished eighth in the 5,000-meter run and 16th in the 3,000. He has already turned in a time 20 seconds faster than the one he had at the conference meet. In fact, the time he ran two weeks ago would have placed third last year at conference. Obviously, with the conference meet still a little over a month away, Zimmer is not focusing on those things. “I want to keep working hard and taking it one day at a time and one run at a time,” he said. He is also enjoying life as a student-athlete, supporting other student-athletes at Northwest. Last Wednesday, he was one of many student-athletes who cheered the men’s basketball team to a one-
point victory over Missouri Southern. The atmosphere at Bearcat Arena was electric. It was clear the players on the men’s team were pumped up for a battle for first place. As a long-distance runner, Zimmer can’t afford to use that kind of emotion before the start of the race. It would leave him with no energy at the end. “Obviously, with running, emotions are more bottled up on the inside than what you would see with a football player or a basketball player,” Zimmer said. “For myself, I try to remain as relaxed as possible before the race and while I am running the race. I think I do a pretty good job of keeping a relaxed form even though I’m at the end of the race and I am in a lot of pain, I try to hide it. I try to remain as relaxed looking as possible.” Judging by his results and his steady improvement, Zimmer’s running style is working for him.

MISSOURI CAPITOL BRIEFS
MoDOT studies freight improvements JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri transportation officials are taking a closer look at how freight can be moved more efficiently across the state by trucks, barges, planes and trains. The Department of Transportation plans a series of forums across the state in the next two weeks to help develop a “Missouri Freight Plan.” The plan will identify the freight projects that could be most helpful to the state if additional money becomes available. A draft is to be done by June and a final report by September. That would come in advance of a potential November ballot measure asking Missourians to impose a 1-cent sales tax to raise money for roads, bridges and other modes of transportation. The Department of Transportation says Missouri exported about $14 billion of freight in 2012.
Schaaf backing e-privacy protections JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri Senate committee is considering whether to extend constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure to electronics. Sen. Rob Schaaf, a St. Joseph Republican, said Monday the Missouri Constitution needs to be updated to reflect technological changes during the last century. Missouri’s current constitution was drafted in 1945. Schaaf’s bill would add “electronic communications and data” to persons, effects, homes and papers as items protected against illegal searches. Schaaf says he introduced the proposed constitutional amendment after learning about the National Security Agency’s data collecting practices. No one testified against the measure at a hearing Monday. If passed by the Legislature, the proposed amendment would go on the statewide ballot in November.

Free AARP Tax-Aide program now available at Senior Center
By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Free tax preparation is available to local residents with moderate-to-low incomes through the AARP-sponsored Tax-Aide program. Now in it’s 45th year, Tax-Aide is the largest free tax assistance and preparation service in the nation, according to Craig Eichelman, AARP Missouri state director. “Last year we helped nearly 64,000 folks get about $21 million back on their federal and state incomes in Missouri, and these days every dollar helps,” Eichelman said. Locally, the program is available from February 5 to April 9 and will be offered through the Nodaway County Senior Center. Local volunteers Nina Schnieder, Karla Rusco and Sharelle Leick will once again be preparing the returns.
All three have met the program’s certification standards. The volunteer team prepares nearly 100 local returns each year. Statewide, there are nearly 140 sites and close to 700 volunteers that will help prepare federal, state and local tax returns.
‘The volunteer team prepares nearly 100 local returns each year.’ “We usually do preparations on Wednesdays at the senior center,” Schneider said. “We can also accommodate people on other days if they let us know when they call for an appointment.”
For an appointment, call the Nodaway County Senior Center at (660) 582-2488. Taxpayers of any age are eligible for the service provided they meet the income guidelines. Participants do not need to be AARP members. Once an appointment is scheduled, taxpayers are urged to bring the following items with them to the appointment: photo identification, last year’s income tax returns, income documents (all W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and social security cards or other official documentation for taxpayers and dependents. Depending on the type of return the taxpayer wishes to file, additional items and information may be required. “We enjoy doing this, and we encourage those who qualify to take advantage of this service, “ Schneider said.
ACT test now free to juniors Continued from Page 3 leges and universities to determine if a student is academically prepared for college.” Nodaway-Holt Superintendent Karma Coleman echoed Dimmitt’s thoughts concerning the free ACT. “It’s a tremendous advantage for students, parents and school districts to have the opportunity to take the ACT one time free of charge,” Coleman said. A second major procedural shift planned by DESE is a change in gradelevel testing for youngsters in third through eighth
grades. In the past, Missouri administered the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) test to children in grades three through eight. The tests were given in the spring and took about four hours to administer. A downside was that districts didn’t receive the results until the following August or September, making it tough to adjust the curriculum in a timely manner. Now, the state will administer assessments tied to uniform benchmarks for reading, writing and math called Common Core standards. These new assess-
ments will take less than an hour to administer to third, fourth, sixth and seventh graders. In addition, because these tests will be given electronically, results will be available within days. Longer five- to sevenhour Common Core tests will be administered to fifth and eighth graders in reading, writing and math. “Even though our fifthand eighth-graders will have longer tests, it will still increase our overall instructional time,” Maryville Middle School Counselor Maureen Lager said. “The even bigger advantage to
the district will be the much faster turnaround in receiving results. “This will be a huge benefit in having the time to make changes in curriculum and instruction that the test results might suggest.” Coleman agrees. “The shorter overall testing time leaves more time for instruction,” Coleman said. “The quicker turnaround time in getting test results is one of the most beneficial elements of the changes as far as our district is concerned. It’s certainly a welcomed step in the right direction.”

You should work quietly tucked away somewhere -- preferably in the privacy of your home. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Coworkers may be unusually challenging to deal with today. Don’t be naive. Someone you’d never suspect may be after your job or just trying to get you out of the way. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Travel or educational pursuits will foster romantic opportunities. You will be in the mood to get out and socialize with friends. Mental stimulation will be important to you at this time.

You will approach your pursuits with creativity. Refrain from going overboard spending on your lover. Instead, wisely invest your money into your own business. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -You may be confounded by the state of your finances all of a sudden. Avoid spending money on any unnecessary items. Unanticipated bills may crop up and surprise you.

eryone’s taste, but she has written some great lyrics; “The Circle Game” is my favorite. Outside the tournament world, many players do not know the unusual response to make with the North hand in today’s diagram. After South opens one spade and West makes a takeout double, what should North do? If West had passed, North would have bid three spades, a game-invitational limit raise. But when righty doubles, now a jump raise is best played as preemptive, showing four-card spade support and a weak hand. This, one hopes, will make life much harder for the fourth hand. To invite game with four or more trumps, respond two no-trump. (This should be called Truscott, after Alan the deviser, who lived in England at that time. But it is often known as Jordan, after Bobby, the advertiser of the idea in the United States.) Note that any strong, balanced hand without four
spades begins with redouble, promising 10 points or more. Here, over two no-trump, East would pass and South would jump to four spades, keeping his club suit hidden. West leads the heart king: four, 10, ace. South will probably draw trumps ending in his hand and play a diamond to the jack. East wins and continues hearts. South ruffs the third round of that suit, leads a club to the queen, discards two clubs on the high diamonds, and concedes one club trick.

Barbershoppers hoping new director brings growth By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
A new director hopes to bring a resurgence to the Voices of America barbershop choirs in St. Joseph.
Steve Scott
The veteran all-male a cappella singing organization has been around for more than 50 years and frequently attracts participants from the Maryville area. But member Keith Smith said that membership has fallen recently, and the group is hoping Steve Scott, the new director, can breathe new life into the organization. “Steve brings an incredible music, teaching and barbershop talent to the chorus,” said VOA Music Vice President Don Ransom.
“His abilities remind me of the greatest directors in the Barbershop Harmony Society,” the umbrella organization of which VOA is a part. Scott wasn’t the only person to seek the position, but VOA members say his audition placed him well ahead of the other applicants. “He showed more interest in actually making the chorus better,” Northwest student and VOA singer David Snyder said. “He wasn’t just one of those people who came in and directed the chorus. He came in and dug into the music right away and fixed things. We saw a change in ourselves within the first 10 minutes of working with him.” Scott is a Ph. D. candidate in vocal pedagogy at the University of Kansas, where he teaches singing and conducting. One of his specialties is developing the “barbershop voice.” He also presents research on barbershop singing at regional, national and international education conventions. A barbershop vocalist since age 11, Scott currently serves as chair of the Barbershop Harmony Society Chorus Director Development committee. He has a master’s degree in conducting and a second master’s in vocal pedagogy from Ohio State University.

Bringing back barbershop
A new director hopes to bring a resurgence to the Voices of America barbershop choirs which frequently attract Maryville participants. “Steve brings an incredible music, teaching and barbershop talent to the chorus,” said VOA Music Vice President Don Ransom. “The Voices of America chorus is seeing a new life and energy,” VOA Membership Vice President Mike Nelson said. “Now, with
Steve Scott as the director, it will open greater opportunities for growth.” But challenges lie ahead. A group that used to be more
than 25 strong is down to about 16 members. Because of the decrease in size, the ensemble has shied away from competitions.
“We are really excited about this new guy,” Snyder said. “We will be a championship chorus again with him.”
