Bearcat trophy tour to include local events
KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM
Icy morning road conditions
A Ford Explorer was involved in a one-vehicle accident Thursday morning on U.S. 71 Highway approximately 12 miles north of Maryville. According to witnesses, the Explorer was westbound, about a quartermile west of the State HIghway AB intersection, when icy road conditions caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. As the driver attempted to make corrections, the Explorer left the road, hit the ditch, and flipped. An ambulance was present on the scene for precautionary reasons.
A glimpse of Vietnam
MARYVILLE, Mo. – Northwest Missouri State has announced dates for a Championship Trophy Tour celebrating the football program’s 2013 NCAA Division II national championship. The tour, which is being hosted by the Northwest Alumni Association and the Northwest Foundation, will include five stops beginning Friday, Feb. 21. The undefeated Bearcats won the program’s fourth national championship with a 43-28 victory over LenoirRhyne on Dec. 21 in Florence, Ala. The game marked Northwest’s eighth appearance in the national championship game. “It’s incredible how many Bearcat fans there are throughout the Midwest and across the country,” head football coach Adam Dorrel
said. “Winning a national championship is something that everyone who cares about Northwest should be able to celebrate, no matter where they live. Being able to bring a championship trophy to our fans who have supported us throughout is a great feeling.” Dorrel, Director of Athletics Mel Tjeerdsma and Northwest President John Jasinski will be present at all five stops and will be available to answer questions and sign autographs. Fans will be able to take photos with the championship trophy and pick up an exclusive championship poster at each event. There will be an opportunity for fans to bid on auction items at each event, including a football, a helmet and a jersey. See NORTHWEST Page 6

Chopper pilot recalls Vietnam experiences By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
“The Army told me they’d teach me to fly, so I took them up on it.” Those were the words of guest speaker Bill Medsker, who addressed a group of interested locals at the Northwest Regional Airport Wednesday night. The presentation was hosted by the Hawk Road Flyers, the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association. Medsker, an avid photographer
who served two tours of duty in Vietnam, included numerous photos of his experiences there during his presentation. Many were aerial photos taken while he was piloting either the H-13 Scout or the Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter, both commonly referred to as “Hueys.” “I learned to fly all of the Hueys,” Medsker said. “There’s not a lot of difference in each model, but each feels a little different when you first fly it.” Medsker joined the U.S. Army in 1961 and spent four years as a crew chief responsible for the
repair and maintenance of helicopters before being accepted into flight school in 1965 at Fort Wolters. At the time the base, located near Mineral Wells, Texas, was the primary U.S. helicopter training facility. “As soon as we graduated from flight school at the end of 1965, we were immediately sent to Saigon (in what was then South Vietnam),” Medsker said. From there, Medsker was assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division HHR, 1st Brigade. Their base camp was located in Ah Khe, which was home to about

400 helicopters as well as fixedwing aircraft. “The biggest nuisances in camp were mosquitoes, rats and flooding,” Medsker said. “If you think you’ve seen hard rain here, it was nothing like the rains we experienced in Vietnam.” One of Medsker’s primary duties as a helicopter pilot was to circle battlefields at high altitude, so the officers who rode with him could observe the battle and call in support as needed, or “direct traffic” as Medsker described it. “It wasn’t that exciting,” Medsker said. “We were up high

enough that anything the North Vietnamese shot at us couldn’t actually reach us. “I was able to take a lot of pictures while on these assignments. Each Huey had two pilots, so it wasn’t difficult to pilot the helicopter and shoot pictures with one hand.” Medsker used a Kodak 35-millimeter camera to take his shots and mailed the film back to the United States, where it was developed and the photos mailed back to him in Vietnam. “My first camera was stolen out See VIETNAM Page 6

LOCAL BRIEFS Rice won’t file charges in Burlington man’s death
Arena hosts Olympics Northwest Missouri State University’s Bearcat Arena will serve as the venue for this year’s Special Olympics North Missouri Area Basketball Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 8. More than 300 athletes from across northern half of the state are expected to travel to Maryville in order to compete. Opening ceremonies, including cheer squad routines and the traditional torch run, will begin at 8:30 a.m. with competition continuing until around 4 p.m. Divisions include individual skills, team skills, 3-on3, modified and regulation basketball, and “unified basketball,” in which non-disabled players take the court in order to assist the play of teammates with cognitive disabilities.
STATE BRIEFS MU will hire legal firm to probe swimmer’s death COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — University of Missouri curators have agreed to hire an outside law firm to review the school’s handling of a former varsity swimmer’s 2011 suicide. The nine-member governing board voted Wednesday to approve system President Tim Wolfe’s request for an independent legal inquiry in the case. The university expects a report to be complete for the next Board of Curators meeting on April 11. A police investigation is also underway, but Sasha Menu Courey’s parents say the university and its athletics department should have already investigated their daughter’s alleged off-campus rape by as many as three football players in February 2010. University leaders say they didn’t learn about the purported attack until after Menu Courey committed suicide 16 months later.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — State residents who pay tuition at the four schools in the University of Missouri system can look forward to flat tuition rates. Curators voted to freeze resident tuition at current levels for the 2015 fiscal year. Most students at the state schools in Columbia, Kansas City, Rolla and St. Louis will pay $8,335 in tuition starting in the fall. The university has raised tuition and fees over the past five years by an average of 2.2 percent, compared to 6 percent at other public campuses. Those hikes came amid 34 percent enrollment growth since 2000. Non-resident tuition will increase by 1.5 percent to 3 percent, with graduate tuition increasing by 1.5 percent.

U.S. House of Representatives passes Agricultural Act of 2014 By KAITY HOLTMAN Agriculture editor
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the five-year Farm Bill, also called the Agricultural Act of 2014, on Wednesday by a vote of 251 to 166. The Republican leadership backed the measure, even though it makes smaller cuts to food stamps than they would have liked. After wavering for a few years, the GOP leaders sought to put the bill behind them so they could build on the success of a bipartisan budget. If passed, the bill will cut about $800 million a year from the $80-billion-a-year Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as Food Stamps. That’s 1-percent versus the 5-percent cut House Republicans originally sought. Still, 63 House conservatives — one more than in the June vote — voted against the bill. But 89 Democrats supported it because of the lower SNAP reduction. The new Farm Bill would also continue to heavily subsidize the nation’s major crops while eliminating other crop subsidies and shifting them toward more politically defensible insurance programs. The House Committee on Agriculture, led by chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., has been working to get the bill passed for nearly three years. Chairman Lucas said he is pleased with the results. “This is legislation we can all be proud of because it fulfills the expectations
the American people have of us,” Lucas said. “The Agricultural Act contributes major savings to deficit reduction, significant reforms to policy, and yet still provides a safety net not only for the production of American food and fiber, but also to ensure our fellow citizens have enough food to eat.” Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., a local farmer from Tarkio, cast one of those 251 yes votes. “This Farm Bill contains some of the most meaningful reforms to both the farm and nutrition programs that we’ve seen in years,” Graves said. “The fact of the matter is we end direct payments and strengthen the risk management and crop insurance programs, all while saving taxpayer dollars and repealing unnecessary initiatives.” In that vein, the bill contains language authored by Graves from his Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Fraud Prevention Act (H.R. 228), which would prevent SNAP beneficiaries from purchasing items that require a substantial deposit with their EBT card unless they pay for the deposit by other means. “Additionally, we make reforms to SNAP that root out fraud without removing those who need assistance from the program,” Graves said. “This bill was thoroughly vetted by the two agriculture committees over the course of several months and is a positive development that provides certainty to farmers, ranchers and producers for the coming
years.” The Agricultural Act increases funding for the Emergency Food Assistance Program by $205 million that will benefit food banks like Second Harvest in St. Joseph, the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri in Columbia, and Harvesters Community Food Network in Kansas City. Nodaway County South District Commissioner Bob Stiens, a Democrat, said the bill is a step in the right direction. “Quite frankly I’m glad they passed it,” Stiens said. “We need to get on with this. There are some things they had to take out, and I saw the cattlemen opposed it, but I don’t care if they took money out of the Food Stamp cut. It was time to get it done.” The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association released a statement Tuesday saying they oppose the Farm Bill the way it is presented because of its mandatory country-of-origin labeling. “We are calling on Congress to fix the mistakes they have made, mistakes that are costing cattlemen and women money every day,” said Scott George, NCBA president and a Wyoming cattleman. “Mistakes like Mandatory Country-ofOrigin Labeling, which has already resulted in steep discounts to our producers and caused prejudice against our largest trading partners. This program was created without the consent of producers and has been a fail-

ST. LOUIS (AP) — By the time the U.S. Supreme Court refused a last-minute stay of execution for Herbert Smulls, the Missouri inmate was already dead. His attorneys said it was the third straight time a Missouri inmate has been executed with an appeal pending. Late Wednesday, attorneys for Smulls made one last appeal to the Supreme Court. It had already ruled hours earlier that the execution could proceed. Smulls’ attorney Joseph Luby says the stay was denied at 10:24 p.m., four minutes after Smulls was pronounced dead.

ure by every measure.” George said NCBA is disappointed in all members of Congress for allowing the process to go this far without a solution and believes failure to fix Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling at this juncture will lead to retaliatory tariffs on a host of commodities. He said he believes it is only a matter of time before the World Trade Organization rules in favor of Canada and Mexico. Once that happens, he said, producers will realize the full costs of this “failed” legislation. “This Farm Bill is foundationally flawed, and the livestock sector is standing shoulder-to-shoulder in opposition of a Farm Bill that will only serve to cause greater harm to rural America,” George said. The bill is now in the hands of the Senate, which is expected to look at it by the end of the week. The White House said President Barack Obama would sign the bill if it lands on his desk.

Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert L. Rice issued a release Thursday stating he has decided not to file charges in connection with the death of Jeffrey A. Carter, Burlington Junction, whose body was found in a dumpster Dec. 26 a few blocks from his home. Carter, 51 at the time of his death, was the subject of a 911 domestic disturbance call to the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office on Dec. 22. After the call was placed, Carter reportedly left his residence, which he shared with other family members, while intoxicated. Subsequent efforts by officers to locate Carter while alive were unsuccessful. After his lightly dressed body was discovered, authorities determined the death was likely caused by a combination of alcohol consumption and exposure to extreme cold. There were no signs of foul play, Rice said Thursday.

ALTERNATIVE VIEWS
Military funds are important
The Joplin Globe
Recognizing that military spending has a big economic impact on Missouri, Gov. Jay Nixon has formed a new partnership aimed at protecting military bases and federal defense dollars in the state. To that end, he has appointed Clint Zweifel, the state’s treasurer, to gather input. Zweifel, in recent interviews given to The Associated Press, cited a study that shows that the Army’s Fort Leonard Wood, Whiteman Air Force Base and the Missouri National Guard have a combined economic impact of more than $3 billion a year in our state. The goal — and we think it’s a good one — is to make sure there is not only government support but also support from area business leaders. We cannot imagine where Joplin and Duquesne would be today if it had not been for the Missouri National Guard’s help after the May 2011 tornado. Members of the Guard literally moved mountains of debris. But they also play a big role in our economy. That’s why it is important for this state and others to keep an eye on cuts that could be made to defense spending. Zweifel is touring bases and armories throughout the state and plans to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with members of Congress and the military. He wants to showcase the effectiveness of the work the military does in Missouri and the number of jobs provided here. His mission, as set out by the governor, is to coordinate this effort through March 31. By the way, there are more than 275,000 jobs statewide that are the direct or indirect result of defense spending. In Southwest Missouri, the economic impact is $30 million a year, according to Zweifel’s office. A proactive effort now is necessary. Not just for the safety of the state, but for those who depend on defense spending for a paycheck. That number is significant.
State needs complete plan
Columbia Tribune
Gov. Jay Nixon foments a debate with the General Assembly over construction bonds. His primary capital project is replacement of the outdated Fulton State Hospital, which houses mentally deficient criminals and sex offenders deemed unfit to stand trial. It is the state’s only institution of its kind. Buildings are old and in poor condition. No serious opposition has arisen to the governor’s priority. Not so regarding his proposed method of financing. Nixon wants to use “appropriation bonds” not requiring a vote of the people, needing only passage of a $14 million reserve fund and subsequent annual appropriations by the General Assembly to make bond payments. Rep. Chris Kelly, D-Columbia, and Sen. Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, both favor the project but not Nixon’s bonding scheme. They are right. A properly crafted statewide capital improvement plan, which is sorely needed, should be approved by voters authorizing an ongoing plan for retiring bonds. Fulton State Hospital could be a key project, but it’s hardly the only need. We should push ourselves to approve such a measure with Fulton as a primary driver. For several years now, Kelly, along with Republican co-sponsors, has pushed the bond issue idea. We should not lose another season. The time is right, and the need is acute. The state is finishing retirement payments of a highly successful $600 million bond issue sponsored by then-Gov. Kit Bond, making room in the budget for another round. Today, years later, Kelly proposes $1.2 billion to make similar progress. Interest rates are historically low, and the recent recession put us woefully behind on a number of public projects, many on college campuses. Construction bonds would underwrite economically stimulating projects all over the state. We can afford the borrowing. I think the public would approve and the legislature should give us a chance. Even though Nixon prefers a quicker shortcut financing method for the Fulton hospital, he will favor general obligation bonds if that is the legislative decision. Let’s add Fulton’s $198 million and make the omnibus bond issue $1.4 billion. Run the numbers. We can afford it. We can’t afford not to do it.

LEGENDS OF THE FALL
I’ve done my share of fishing, and now I’ve been phished
I have done my share of fishing over the years, dating back to when I learned to bait my own hook angling for bream in the oxbow lakes prevalent in the Arkansas Delta. As I got older, I did a bit of bass fishing with my dad, but never really got involved seriously until moving to northwest Missouri in 1975. I didn’t have much time to do anything other than try to put out a weekly newspaper in Albany, but I did manage to sneak off infrequently to try my luck in farm ponds, most of which could only be identified as being “south of town.” I continued my love affair with farm ponds during an earlier stint in Maryville. In fact, I qualified as a Missouri Master Angler after pulling a certifiable blue gill from a farm pond — which I can honestly say I can’t recall where it was (is). And believe me, I have tried to remember while driving through the country. I can see it in my mind, but I haven’t, for the life of me, been able to locate it again. Which is probably just as well. I loved having access to several of the West’s great trout streams while living in Montana. I did my share of floating the world-famous Missouri River, a Blue Ribbon Trout location, and was even afforded an opportunity to wet my line in the recognizable stretch of the Gallatin River where segments of A River Runs Through It were filmed. My favorite Montana fishing, however, was wading the Little Blackfoot River, just across the Continental Divide from Helena. I got to fish for walleye and smallmouth in Canada summer before last with Brock Pfost and Jeff and Alex Gardner, local fishing enthusiasts of some renown. I took quite a bit of ribbing from buddies in Montana because I was not a fly-fishing enthusiast, and my sonin-law still gives me grief over that technicality. I prefer ultra-light spincasting gear. I just smile, and tell them that while they “go fishing,” I “go catching.” In the past week, however, I was introduced to some new piscatorial terminology. Phishing.
Defined in Wikipedia as “the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.” Apparently the hungry dudes who recently tried to use my credit cards in grocery stores in Miami Beach and Las Vegas were trying to reel in

a little bigger catch. This time, it was an official-looking electronic notification from “Apple” that my iTunes ID registration was to expire in 48 hours. They must know more about me and my habits than some credit card numbers. If I get notification from someone that something needs to be done to preserve some service, then I am going to do it. Usually quickly. So, when I sat down to run through whatever the Internet may have produced after the Missouri basketball game, there was this message, purportedly from Steve Jobs’ gang. In retrospect, my first clue should have been the awkwardness of the address. “I Tunes !!” I should have known better. But I admit I was in somewhat of a state of euphoria after watching Mizzou collect its first-ever victory in Bud Walton Arena. My world was
spinning. So I clicked through to the message. Dumb. The intraspaced red type should have been a second clue, but having already made my confession, I will skip past that one. “Just click each link below safe and open a session with your Apple ID and password.” Done. Dumber. “>-Click on the link “Verify my iTunes ID account – now > “In the absence of confirmation within 48 hours, we will proceed with the cancellation the (sic) provision of your account.” I entered the called-for iTunes ID and password, and clicked. Dumbest. There followed the usual boilerplate about no responsibility in the absence of immediate response and not replying to the automated message. Yaddita, yaddita, yaddita — the stuff I never read anyway. The form that appeared seemed routine. I even went so far as to enter my name and address. Next was a space for my e-mail (which they obviously already had) and my telephone number. You bet, no problem. Then — Whoa! Hold on a minute. My credit card number, maybe. After all, I do have a brand new one. But my Social Security number? Red flashing lights, bells and whistles. No way. I quickly clicked out of that trap and called the real Apple Customer Service. The “automated service that can understand complete sentences” promptly pushed me through to a real, live person, who confirmed what I had finally begun to suspect on my own. I had been phished. Nothing new to Apple, and many other companies, I’m sure. The representative gave me an address to which to forward the lure I had received — and, of course, complimented me for being such an aware consumer. Yes sir, thank you very much. And my doctor was able to fix the hole left where I shook the lure.
LOCAL COLUMNIST
It’s winter in the Midwest, it’s cold, why am I here?
I have friends (jerks) who live in Florida (double-jerks) who often post their local weather conditions (paradise) on social media (witchcraft). Of course, by “often” I mean only in the winter when weather conditions here in the Midwest are somewhere between Hoth and about 90 minutes of Disney’s “Frozen.” One of my Floridian friends (you think you’re pretty tough 1,100 miles away. I’m looking at you, Eric), in a display of epic mega-jerkery, routinely tags me in photographs of himself standing on the beach in a T-shirt and shorts drinking beer. This prompts me to shout to anyone who cares, which is usually no one, “To %$&# with this. I’m moving to Florida.” Which I never do because, unlike the Midwest, Florida isn’t known for its barbecue. Forty-four percent of the world’s population, 3.08 billion people, lives in coastal areas (within 93 miles of the ocean) in what I like to call the Spring Break Zone. It’s warm and sunny there. Girls wear bikinis, trees grow citrus fruit and everyone looks like people on TV. Why wouldn’t you want to live there? A good chunk of the rest of the word’s population (except, apparently those of us in the Midwest and Siberia) lives in one of the 400 cities with a population for more than a million people in the At Least We Have Cultural Events and Professional Sports Zone. Both zones are charming, have
nice restaurants, sometimes alligators (sometimes in the sewer, sometimes out), and are a heck of a lot more pleasant than where I’m sitting right now dressed in more layers than a four-cheese lasagna.
Jason Offutt I live in the Midwest, in the Freeze/ Swelter/Freeze Zone, with 65.5 million other people currently dressed in long johns and Carhartts. I was born here, went to college here, work here, and am raising my children to be good little “bundled in scarf and mittens” Midwesterners. Sure, I’ve traveled, but like my somewhat single-minded friends the salmon, I always come
home. There are colder places, of course. Like International Falls, Minn., with an all-time record low −55 degrees, and Yakutsk, Russia (population 200,000? Seriously?) with not only an all-time record low of -81.4 degrees, it has an average yearly high temperature of two degrees above freezing. Then there’s the mountain valley town of Rjukan, Norway, which, until 2013, spent six months without sunlight. Yes, mountains blocked out the sun from March to September, presumably making it a vacation resort for vampires. Last year the town installed three huge mirrors high in the mountains to reflect sunlight upon their dark, dark town. Is it cold in Rjukan? Of course it is; we’re talking Norway. My question is what was the expression on the town founders faces when that first March rolled around and the world went all “30 Days of Night” on them. Right now there’s snow on the ground. Here, and most probably in Rjukan. So why do I continue to live in the Midwest when in Florida it’s currently warm enough to wear flip-flops? Because of the awesome barbecue. Like you really had to ask. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

From the Pulpit
Self-Esteem Over the past two or three decades, a great deal of emphasis has been put on self-esteem. In schools, seminars and journals, the message of self-esteem has been proclaimed. The message is that everybody has something to contribute. Everybody can celebrate their unique identity. Everybody needs confidence and a strong sense of self. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of books written on the topic. All of this is good. People do need self-esteem, everybody is unique and everybody does have something to contribute. No one should feel worthless or useless. Watching the Grammy’s earlier this week, we saw dozens of people on stage filled with self-esteem and talent. The show was amazing. On the other hand, a good dose of humility is also healthy every now and then. Recent sport and political scandals are good evidence that too much confidence and pride in self can lead to negative behavior. One of the effects of the self-esteem movement is the assumption that being successful requires a certain amount of self-confidence. Plain people with average confidence and ordinary ideas will not be hugely successful, or so the thought process goes. Of course, this stirs the vicious, ironic circle that demands more selfesteem. But again, self-esteem is a good thing and it should be encouraged. The Bible is filled with stories that bolster self-esteem. Over and over again, the Bible reveals a God who loves everyone. The message is one of encouragement for people who are feeling down and for people brimming with confidence. What I find intriguing about some of the stories in the Bible is that God does not pick people who would be voted “most likely to succeed” by their peers to do important jobs. God does not typically pick people overflowing with self-esteem, skills or social status to get tasks done. God chooses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Moses was one such person. The man did have the benefit of a top-of-the-line Egyptian education. However, when God met Moses at the burning bush, he was on the lamb for killing an Egyptian. He was literally running from his past, living in the middle of nowhere as a herdsman. Self-esteem was not one of his attributes. God wanted Moses to confront Pharaoh and free the people. Moses pleaded with God to send someone else for the job. As Moses put it, “I don’t speak very well in public arenas, find someone more qualified.” God was not dissuaded. Moses did as he was told, albeit begrudgingly, and the people were freed from slavery in Egypt. Jonah is another great example. We know nothing about his background. But when God called him to preach repentance to the city of Nineveh (Israel’s enemy), he ran in the opposite direction. This was not a sign of self-confidence. When Jonah was forced to go to Nineveh via the fish belly express, Jonah did what he was told to do. But it’s clear that he was not enthused about the job. In fact, Jonah sat down and pouted when God showed mercy to the city of Nineveh. I think Jonah would be a wet blanket at the most festive of parties, but God used him to get an important job done. Among Jesus disciples, we also find some people who lacked the proper bona fides, status and possibly self-esteem: fishermen, a tax collector and an odd band of other nobodies. Over and over again, they misunderstand, say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and let fear overcome any wee bit of confidence they had. Yet, God used the disciples to do some amazing things. So, maybe self-esteem is just a little over rated. Once again, self-esteem is a good thing. It’s important and it should be encouraged. What I love about the stories in the Bible is that God uses ordinary people to proclaim God’s love for the world. The people God uses had the same fears, joys, anxieties, and confidence (or lack of it) that we do. In the stories, God walks beside the people and helps them along the way. God helps them proclaim the message that God’s love is for everyone. The message builds confidence in the person God chose to deliver it and those receiving it. Sometimes, watching the Grammys makes me feel very untalented and the show does little to boost my own self-esteem. I could never sing or perform like a Grammy winner. The good news is that I don’t need to have that kind of self-esteem or talent. God loves me as I am, just like God loves everybody else. This gives me great self-esteem, hope and peace. I hope it gives the same to you.

Base of operations
SUBMITTED PHOTOS/BILL MEDSKER
A view of the airfield at An Khe, which was base camp for Bill Medsker during his first tour of duty in Vietnam. The airfield was referred to as the “Golf Course” and accommodated about 400 aircraft. Bill Medsker stands next to his D Model “Huey” helicopter about three weeks before the end of his first tour of duty in Vietnam in 1967. The picture was taken in the Southeast Asian nation’s Central Highlands.
Vietnam-era pilot recalls military service experience Continued from Page 1 of my helicopter, but I just bought another one,” Medsker said. Medsker’s first tour of duty in Vietnam ran from 1966 to 1967. After spending a year and a half in
Savannah, Ga., as a Cobra instructor, he was reassigned to Vietnam in 1969, attached to the Cobra New Equipment Training Team (NETT). During the second tour he was stationed at a base camp in Vung Jau.
“I was responsible for training pilots to operate the Bell AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter,” Medsker said. “They were introduced into military combat in 1969, and most of my time during that second tour of duty was spent training
other Army pilots, which gave me a chance to take more pictures.” Following the end of his second tour of duty in Vietnam, Medsker said he spent the remainder of his 20-year Army career as a warrant officer and continued to train
younger pilots stateside. Medsker will do a second presentation, again recollecting his years of military service, at a future meeting of the Hawk Road Flyers with the date and time still to be announced.

Word on the web Editor’s Note: Word on the Web is a regular Daily Forum feature appearing on Fridays. Compiled by reporter Kevin Birdsell. Every Thrusday, the Daily Forum will post a question to the public and some answers to the question will be published in Friday’s paper.
Question:
What activities should the University or the city develop to entertain students who will be under the new legal bar age?
Mike Striplin What did they do in a bar? They socialized, danced. Things they can still do at a friends house. Watch movies, play ages (video or board), socialized. Same things they did at the bar.
Tim Jackson Why does the city need to find these adults something to do??? They are adults now…They can take care of their selves now. College kids get treated like gods in this town already. Why does Maryville need to be their baby sitters and find them something to do?
Andrew Nelson Let’s look at this as not just an idea that would help students at Northwest, but other minors whose last thought (hopefully) is drinking. In the 10 years I’ve lived here (I was 20 when I moved here) it’s been Mozingo, bowling, and the bars. This town has potential, and we should tap into it.
Shelby Miller Maybe they should open up a club for younger college kids. Most the 19 and 20 year olds go to the bar just to dance with their friends and hang out. Not all of them go to drink.
Pat Sinnett Kinman I agree with a dance club but would love to see perhaps Thursday and Saturday for college students (with their college ID). That would leave Friday night for high school students only (with school ID) which would also allow the area school students to join the fun. We have two groups needing a place to go and socialize and basically have bowling and the movies to offer them as alternatives.

Maryville girls eliminated by Savannah in Cameron Tourney CAMERON, Mo. — The Maryville High School girls basketball team looked to right the ship after losing to host team Cameron is the opening round of the Cameron Invitational Basketball Tournament. The seventh-seeded Lady Hounds played rival Savannah, seeded sixth, in the consolation bracket on Wednesday night. Strong defense led to a slight lead for the Hounds after the first period, 7-3. The strong defense of the previous period was nowhere to be found in the second quarter, where the Lady Hounds gave up 20 points, and fell behind 23-17 at the half. The game stayed close the rest of the way, with Maryville outscoring Savannah by one point in each second half period. The stronger second half play wasn’t enough and the Hounds lost 50-46. With the loss, the Lady Hounds fall to 4-13 on the season. Sophomore Josie Patton led the Hounds in scoring, dropping 12 points. Another sophomore, Abby Van de Ven, scored 11 points of her own. The Hounds’ next game will be Monday night in Lathrop with a 7 p.m. tipoff.

Eagles advance to consolation championship at North Platte DEARBORN, Mo. — The Jefferson boys basketball team looked to bounce back after being upset by Maur Hill on Monday. Jefferson played Plattsburg on the consolation side of the bracket in the North Platte Invitational Tournament, which is being played in Dearborn. A fast-paced first quarter from both teams led to a 17-17 tie at the end of the period. The Jefferson defense picked up in the second quarter and took a 30-23 lead into halftime. Jefferson kept control of the game throughout the rest of the contest and came away with a 56-39 victory. With the victory, Jefferson improved to 12-6. Senior Kyler Farnan led the team in scoring with 13 points while sophomore Bryce Deen contributed 12 points to the victory. With the win, Jefferson moves on to the consolation championship game against Lone Jack. The game will be played tonight at 6:30 p.m.

Kansas City, Chen agree to 1-year deal with 2015 option KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals agreed to terms with left-hander Bruce Chen on one-year deal Thursday, giving them a veteran pitcher comfortable as a long reliever or in the starting rotation. Kansas City had yet to announce the contract, which includes a mutual option for 2015. The 36-year-old, one of the most popular players in the clubhouse, has spent the past five seasons in Kansas City. He’s coming off perhaps the finest year of his 15-year career, going 9-4 with a 3.27 ERA while making 15 starts and 19 appearances out of the bullpen.

South Nodaway runs past West Nodaway By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
For the first five minutes of Thursday night’s West Nodaway-South Nodaway girls basketball game, the winless Lady Rockets played even with the Lady Longhorns, trailing by only a 10-9 margin. “We just started off slow defensively,” South Nodaway coach Aaron Murphy said. “They came out ready to play and we didn’t and they jumped out. They’ve gotten a lot better since the last time we played them.” However, the Lady Longhorns ended the quarter on a 14-3 run and never looked back on the way to a 65-25 in non-conference victory over the visiting Lady Rockets. South Nodaway extended its lead to 44-15 by halftime, as junior Kristen Nielson led the Lady Longhorns with 12 points and five rebounds. Senior Andrea Henggeler added 10 points and five rebounds for South Nodaway, who dominated the smaller Lady Rockets on the boards. South Nodaway, now 11-5 on the season, continued to stretch out its lead in the second half, leading 59-21 at the end of three quarters, before outscoring West Nodaway
6-4 in the final quarter. “We’ve got to work on coming ready to play, not waiting half a quarter, then waking up,” Murphy said. South Nodaway featured a balanced scoring attack. Henggeler finished with 14 points to lead the Lady Longhorns and Nielson finished with 12. Freshmen twin sisters Meaghan and Mallory McConkey added 10 points each. “I’m very fortunate to have the 18 girls that I have,” Murphy said. “They come to work every day and I wish I could get them all equal minutes. Getting them in there and getting them with the right groups and allowing them to get some success is very key. I’m happy the way they’ve blossomed.” Junior Melody McGinness led West Nodaway, 0-15 on the season, with 13 points, while senior Emily Cordell finished with 10 points and eight rebounds. West Nodaway is back in action tonight, hosting 275 Conference rival Tarkio. The girls contest is scheduled to get underway at 6 p.m. South Nodaway returns to the court Tuesday night, hosting Craig/Fairfax. The girls game is scheduled for a 6 p.m. tip-off.

Balanced Rockets down Longhorns By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
West Nodaway showed flashes of how good it can be, while South Nodaway continued to be plagued by inconsistency. The result was a 55-43 Rockets victory Tuesday night in Barnard. The Rockets, 11-6 on the season, jumped out to a 13-6 first quarter lead behind four early points from sophomore Jaden Gillenwater. Grant Beggs scored four for South Nodaway, previewing what was to be an outstanding night for the senior. The two squads played to a 15-15 second quarter deadlock, leaving the Rockets with a 28-21 halftime advantage. Junior Trevor Meyer led the Rockets firsthalf scoring efforts with six points, while adding six assists. Senior Jonathon Madere grabbed six first-half rebounds to pace the Rockets in that category. South Nodaway was led by Beggs, who exploded for 10 second-quarter points on the way to a 14-point first half. West Nodaway came out of the locker room and played one of its best quarters of the season, outscoring the Longhorns 18-10 to grab a 46-31 lead.

West Nodaway junior Trevor Meyer goes up through the foul in the Rockets’ 55-43 victory last night over South Nodaway. Meyer scored eight points in the win.
“For a stretch there in the third quarter, I saw what we can do when we really play together,” West Nodaway coach Roger Johnson said. “We really stepped it up defensively and we moved the
ball very well on offense.” South Nodaway, now 5-11 on the season, cut into the West Nodaway lead in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Rockets 12-9. “We finally started play-
ing with some urgency in the fourth quarter,” South Nodaway coach Dustin Skoglund said. “Until then, we had been stagnant on offense and our defensive rotations were really slow.” Gillenwater led the balanced Rockets offensive attack with 16 points. Madere and sophomore Blake Farnan added nine points each. Meyer scored eight points and added 11 assists while junior Ryan Evans added seven points. Madere dominated on the boards, capturing 18 rebounds for West Nodaway and also blocked several shots. “Jonathon really played well defensively and on the boards,” Johnson said. “His ability to block shots allows our guards to play tight defense because if they get beat on the dribble, they know Jonathon is there.” Beggs led South Nodaway with 23 points and added five rebounds. “We just have to find a way to be more consistent from game-to-game,” Skoglund said. The Rockets are back in action tonight, hosting Tarkio in a 275 Conference clash while South Nodaway takes the floor again on Tuesday, hosting Craig/Fairfax.
Northwest grabs big MIAA road victory By DAVID BOYCE
Northwest Missouri State University
ST. CHARLES, Mo. — As well as the Northwest Missouri State women’s basketball team shot the ball, it was the defensive intensity and passion the Bearcats played with throughout was most impressive. The Bearcats never trailed in beating Lindenwood 70-59 Thursday evening at Hyland Arena in game they absolutely needed. The victory lifted Northwest to 6-12 overall and 3-8 in the MIAA. In resounding fashion, the Bearcats
proved they no longer resemble the team that lost 80-74 at home to Missouri Southern a little over a week ago. “I have to give a little props to this team because after the Missouri Southern loss, they got together in the locker room,” Northwest coach Michael Smith said. “They knew how much they let down in that game. Honestly, we have had great practices since then. I felt like our energy and focus the last few days of practice has been the best it has been all year. “I told our kids that we have nine games left and that is it. You are going to miss this. You need to enjoy each
other and the opportunity to put on this uniform for at least nine more games. I felt like we played as a team tonight. People contributed in different ways.” Northwest wants to carry this momentum into its next game when it returns to action 1:30 p.m. Saturday against Lincoln at Bearcat Arena. After playing a solid first half against Lindenwood, it was important for Northwest to show it could put together two strong halves. The Bearcats did exactly that, getting baskets from juniors Annie Mathews and Ashleigh Nelson at the start of the second half that boosted See CATS, Page 8

Bearcats win 7th straight By DAVID BOYCE

Loft it over the top
Northwest junior post Annie Mathews shoots a runner over a defender in a game earlier this season. Mathews scored six points in the Cats’ 70-59 win over Lindenwood Thursday night.
Cats get much-needed win Continued from Page 1 Northwest’s lead to 42-32. “A lot of us are sick of losing,” said senior guard Monique Stevens, who finished with 15 points. “It is really hard on you. Coming out here and getting a road win and everybody contributing was really big for us. “It should show everybody in the MIAA that we can compete when everyone is a part of it.” Northwest maintained a double-digit lead through most of the second half. When Lindenwood closed to 46-38, sophomore Tember Schechinger drilled a three-pointer, giving the Bearcats a 51-38. “This victory feels awesome,” said Schechinger, who scored 14 points. “It gives us that feeling that we are going to finish strong.” It was a complete team effort by the Bearcats. Every player who stepped on the court contributed in a positive way. Mathews pulled down 10 rebounds, Nelson scored 16 points and junior guard Ariel Easton had a couple of key drives to the basket in the first half. “It was all about keeping the energy the

whole time,” Schechinger said. “We are just working as a team. It feels really good that we are all coming together.” In the last 10 minutes, the game was never in doubt. The Bearcats built a 65-48 lead with under 5 minutes left. From the start, the Bearcats came out with energy. It helped that Nelson drained the first basket of the game, a three-pointer. Easton followed with a basket, giving Northwest a quick 5-0 lead. The Bearcats never trailed, and when they were challenged, they responded. The first came when Lindenwood tied the game at 7-7 and 10-10. Each time Northwest went back in front with a three-pointer. Northwest put together a nice stretch when it expanded its lead from 15-12 to 24-14. Schechinger gave the Bearcats a 10-point lead when she drained a threepointer, got a steal near midcourt and raced down the court for a layup. The Bearcats twice held 11-point leads. The last one came at 34-23 on a basket by Mathews. Northwest is back in action at 1:30 p.m. Saturday as it plays host to Lincoln.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. — The Northwest Missouri State men’s basketball team put in a workmanlike effort in its 63-61 victory over Lindenwood Thursday evening at Hyland Arena. “This was a grind-it-out game,” junior forward Grant Cozad said. “We knew we were going to get Lindenwood’s best shot. They have been playing well. “On the road like this, we love it. We knew it was going to be a dogfight. That is what we like.” While lacking the heart-stopping theatrics of their buzzer-beating victory over Missouri Southern last week, the outcome was every bit as impressive for the Bearcats. To win a conference championship, a team needs to pull out gritty road wins. That is what Northwest did against a Lindenwood team that was playing with pride. For much of the game, the Lions didn’t look like a team with a losing record and only three wins in 11 conference games. “This was a great victory,” said senior guard DeShaun Cooper, who finished with a game-high 18 points. “When you come into an environment like this and get a victory, it is great. “They had a great game plan. They were holding the ball and when they got offensive board, they did it again. They wasted as much time as they possibly could. This is a great win. I’m proud.” Lindenwood forced the Bearcats to make some plays and hit some free throws in the final two minutes to snatch a road win. Because the Bearcats made 5-of-6 free throws in the final 15 seconds, they improved to 15-5 overall and 10-1 in the MIAA. Northwest only has a day to rest before it hits the hardwood again on Saturday at home against Lincoln. A year ago, Lincoln came into Bearcat Arena and shocked the Bearcats. “We will be ready,” Cozad said. “Lincoln got us last time at home. We need to be ready because they will be ready for us. We got to come out and play our best.” Northwest played well in the final 10 minutes against Lindenwood. There were eight lead changes in the second half. The Bearcats took the lead for
good at 46-45 on an inside basket by senior center Dillon Starzl with nine minutes left. “We needed to get a stop,” Cooper said. “We weren’t getting any stops in the first half. We pride ourselves on defense and we were letting their offense overtake our defense. We had to lock-down on defense.” The Bearcats extended their lead to 5448 and seemed to have gained control of the game. A free throw by Cooper with 2:07 left helped Northwest maintain its six-point lead at 57-51. Lindenwood made one more push and closed to 57-56. Cooper made 3-of-4 free throws to give Northwest a slight cushion at 60-56. The Lions followed with a basket. Senior guard Bryston Williams made two more free throws. Lindenwood responded with a three-pointer with four seconds left. With a one-point lead, Cozad made the first of two free throws. The Lions still had a chance, but a three-point attempt by Garrett Reeg clanked off the side of the iron at the buzzer, allowing Northwest to win another nail-biter. “Coop came up with some real clutch free throws and so did Bryston toward the end,” Cozad said. “Those were key for us keeping that lead.” Northwest probably felt good going into halftime trailing 28-27. It could have been worse. The Lions put together a spurt near the end of the first half and turned an 18-18 tie into a 26-18 advantage. At that point, the Bearcats played some of their best basketball of the half. It started with a three-pointer from freshman forward Zach Schneider followed by an inside bucket from Cooper and another scoring drive from Williams. Lindenwood scored once more to make it 28-25 and then Northwest had its most impressive stretch. On three different occasions, the Bearcats grabbed the offensive rebound. The final one resulted in a sevenfoot jumper by sophomore guard Conner Crooker with one second left before halftime. For the most part, it was a struggle for the Bearcats in the first half. They shot 41 percent from the field while allowing Lindenwood to make half its shots. “We played all right in the first half and turned it up in the second half,” Cozad said. “We battled through it and came out with a victory.”

Maryville Garden Club January is a big month for gardeners. Even though it is cold and often snowy gardeners are busy dreaming and planning for the next growing season. All things seem possible in the winter months and January is the month in which seed and plant catalogs fill the mailbox. They have beautiful pictures that really get the gardener dreaming of the possibilities for spring. Also a must for this season is planning for spring maintenance in the garden. I usually have cleanup chores that didn’t get done in the fall as I had planned and they have to be attended to first. If you use weed preventer in your flower beds early spring is a good time to apply it. Trimming bushes is another chore for spring just remember to only trim those shrubs that flower in the summer or fall. If you trim spring flowering bushes like lilacs you will cut off all of your flowers. The best time to trim these types of bushes are right after they bloom. Most gardening books will give you advice as to when the best time to trim each shrub is. Clematis is a vine that blooms with beautiful flowers. They can be confusing to trim as they don’t all bloom at the same time of the summer. I have one that blooms early in the summer so I carefully
trim out the deadwood in the spring and it blooms on the old wood. The others that I have all bloom by mid summer so in the spring I cut all of the old stems to about 6 inches of the ground. I usually find that new stems are already coming up from the ground ready to produce flowers for the current summer. If you have a vegetable garden this month is a good time to look at seed catalogs and decide on the varieties of vegetables. If you start your own seeds you will want to order seeds early so you will have them ready to put in the garden after the danger of frost. Some research or a good gardening book will tell you which vegetables benefit from a head start and which ones start best planted directly in the ground when the soil temperatures are correct. Seed packets are good sources of information on when and how to plant. The Maryville Garden Club will have some vegetable plants that members have started from seeds available at the spring plant sale. Tomato and pepper plants are always available. Perennials, shrubs and other plants from the gardens of club members will be available at the annual sale. This sale and an Iris sale in August provide the funding for garden club projects. Those projects are maintaining gardens at Judah Park, native plantings
at the point of Mozingo Lake, Mabel Perkins Memorial Gardens where the statue of St. Francis and the Blue Star Memorial are located and sponsoring the Summertime Youth Garden Club. This year the annual spring sale will change locations. Instead of being outside the sale will take place inside the Nodaway Senior Center. The sale will take place Saturday May 3rd. Often early spring days are cool, windy or rainy so the sale will be held indoors this year. Put the date on your calendar and come and shop in comfort. So I will spend the rest of the winter dreaming and planning for spring and waiting until I can get outside and see things start coming up and leafing out. The Maryville Garden Club is in the Northwest District of the Federated Garden Clubs of Missouri, Inc. and in the Central Region of the National Garden Clubs Inc. The garden club is open to and welcomes anyone with an interest in gardening. The new year will begin with our February 4th meeting at 6:30 pm at the First Christian Church, 3rd and Buchanan. The programs for the new year will be unveiled. For more information contact Melanie Fisher at 562-3331. Submitted by Carolyn Schroeder, member of Maryville Garden Club

ASTRO-GRAPH FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2014 by Bernice Bede Osol It will be essential that you take better care of yourself this year. Devoting some time to creative endeavors will turn out to be in your best interest because they will stimulate your mind and help to relieve any stress you are feeling as a result of personal matters. You will feel a strong urge for change. Diversifying your activities will be imperative. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Dealing with an emotional partner will be a challenge for you today. Try to take an impartial view of the situation. Do not allow other people to deflate you or cause you problems. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Experiences in or around hospitals may leave you feeling a bit dejected. Try not to take anything too personally at this time. Your instincts are good, so follow your gut feelings. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a good day to initiate professional changes. Interviews or a good discussion with your boss could lead to advancement if handled correctly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A spontaneous outing will turn into a social event. You will gain a lot of insight from talking to peers or relatives today. Be attentive because a secret adversary may attempt to undermine you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Making a financial deal with someone will require caution, as deception is likely. You may also have personal difficulties with someone close to you. Ad-

Daisy Donovan, an American-born English television presenter, actress and writer, said, “All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it (living alone) -- singleton -- which was the worst pos-
ditional responsibilities are likely unavoidable. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Conversations with your business partner or lover may yield undesirable results. Now is not the time to make a force play. You will be frustrated by the obstacles you face. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A work situation is likely to make you emotional. Females may cause professional difficulties for you. An opportunity to make a career change will be beneficial, if taken. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid impulsive or eccentric individuals who offer you a business proposition. Take advantage of any possibility of traveling. Romance is in the stars. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Deception is present in your home environment. It would be best to deal with it head-on. Be clear and direct, and you will find a solution to your problem. A residential move is likely at this time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Evasiveness in communications is likely to occur. In-laws may be meddlesome or may try to throw you off course. Avoid making any life-changing decisions today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Get out and socialize with friends. Do something physical in nature, and you may meet some interesting new people. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -You will have a hard time handling an emotional partner today. Try to face the truth of the matter. Don’t let other people crush your spirit or cause you grief.
sible thing.” In bridge, though, being able to show a singleton is sometimes the best possible thing a player can do. Look at today’s North hand. After South opens one heart, what should North respond? The North hand is strong enough to force to game. It contains 14 support points (11 high-card and three for the singleton, given the known nine-card or better fit) and only seven losers (the number for a raise to game). If you use the Jacoby Forcing Raise, you could respond two no-trump, but it is much better to jump to four diamonds, a splinter bid announcing at least gamegoing values, four or more hearts and a singleton (or void) in diamonds. That reduces South’s losers to three: one spade, one heart and one club. He now knows that, if necessary, he can ruff his low diamonds on the board. South then uses some form of Blackwood to find out that his partner has the missing aces and spade king (never splinter with a
singleton king) and bids seven hearts. After West leads the diamond king, how should South plan the play? The only danger is a 4-0 trump split. If East has all four hearts, declarer is down. But if West has them, South is safe as long as he starts with his trump king (or queen), keeping dummy’s ace and 10 over West’s jack. When East shows out, declarer finesses in hearts through West and claims all the tricks via two spades, five hearts, one diamond and five clubs.

AMERICAN HEART MONTH
Heart disease proving deadly for more women EDITOR’S NOTE: February is American Heart Month, a national emphasis organized each year by the American Heart Association. As part of this year’s campaign, Feb. 7, has been set aside as Wear Red Day. People are being asked to wear red to spread awareness that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, striking one in three during their lives. By RITA MILLER
Heart-healthy lifestyle
TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM
Janet Murphy, a cardiac rehabilitation nurse at St. Francis Hospital & Health Services for the past 18 years, is urging women to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle. “In the past men, were the highest risk category (for heart attacks),” Murphy said. “But now the demographics have changed.”
WOMEN and HEART DISEASE • Six times more women die from heart attacks as breast cancer. • Under age 50, a woman’s risk of dying of a heart attack is double that of a man’s. • The average age for a woman to have a heart attack is 70.4 years. • Eight million women living in the United States are currenly living with heart disease. • Worldwide, nearly nine million women die of heart disease each year.
Special to the Daily Forum
Imagine this: you are going about your day when all of a sudden it feels like you’ve been hit by a truck. You’re extremely fatigued and weak like you have the flu. Must be “a bug” going around, right? Maybe you picked up something from the kids? Stop. If you’re a woman, these could be signs you’re having a heart attack. “The symptoms of heart attack in females often are not characteristic of those in men,” says Janet Murphy, cardiac rehab nurse at St. Francis Hospital & Health Services. “Women’s heart disease tends to be more diffuse or spread throughout the arteries, and this causes less defined or typical symptoms.” With men, plaque tends to build up or form lesions in the arteries, and that causes sudden tightness in the chest along with the typical sharp pain in the arm during a heart attack. But with women, the plaque tends to build up uni-
formly. This makes it hard for doctors to identify that women have heart disease and can mean during a heart attack that a woman’s symptoms manifest themselves in many other ways. “They may have symptoms like chest pressure, shortness of breath, jaw pain or shoulder pain,” Murphy said. More than 70 percent of all women come to hospitals while having a heart attack with symptoms like those described by Murphy. About 42 percent of them will die within a year, compared to 24 percent of men. Often, that’s due to the fact that the symptoms are not recognized as a heart attack but are believed to be something more benign. “Patients, especially women, need to realize that something isn’t right,” Murphy said. “By telling your doctor, he or she can be more cautious and order additional tests if necessary. “If a woman comes to the hospital with undiagnosed symptoms that could correlate to a heart attack, steps can be taken to see if the heart is OK. That could mean an EKG, chest x-ray or even a stress test.” High blood pressure, smoking, obesity and diabetes all play a factor in a woman’s risk of developing heart disease. Women who smoke, for instance, tend to have a heart attack 19 years earlier than non-smoking women. However, research shows that women’s hearts respond better than men’s to changes associated with a healthy
lifestyle. “Women have to be active and not just during the warm months,” Murphy said, “In winter there is some evidence that heart attacks increase, and the mortality rate for women who suffer heart attacks is higher. That’s why it’s so important that women exercise year round.” The incidence of heart attacks tends to increase in the winter months when people are less active and often eat richer foods. Murphy said there’s also some evidence indicating a correlation between heart attacks and cold-weather “bugs,” colds and other minor illnesses. So, besides exercise, what can a woman do to decrease her odds of a heart attack? First, be sure to eat properly. Also, don’t smoke and keep blood pressure and diabetes under control. Murphy also said that a new noninvasive test, a high-resolution CT scan, can find and diagnose calcium build-ups in arteries. These deposits are often an early sign of heart disease. In the end it comes down to changing attitudes and lifestyles. “In the past, men were the highest risk category,” Murphy said. “But now the demographics have changed. One of the biggest risk factors for a heart attack is smoking. More women smoke now than men, and we’re seeing the effects on their heart.” For more information, please contact Janet Murphy at St. Francis Cardiopulmonary Rehab Department, (660) 562-2600, ext. 7608.
