Northwest grad shaves inches, sheds pounds Diet, exercise pave way for ‘big loser’ By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Realization

Luke Cox weighed around 415 pounds at his heaviest. A comment by his oldest son about the number of X’s on his T-shirt helped him realize that he needed to shed weight.
A Tarkio High School teacher used his competitive nature to tackle something that had been plaguing his personal life — his weight. Luke Cox teaches at Tarkio High School, is married and has three children. He also coaches football, basketball and track. Cox graduated from Tarkio High in 2000, then attended Northwest Missouri State University. He got his bachelor’s degree in social science education and is currently pursuing his master’s degree in education administration at Northwest. In early 2013, Cox weighed over 415 pounds. He wore a size 5-extra-large T-shirt and size 50 jeans. “Here I was teaching students and athletes discipline and hard work when I had none myself,” Cox said.
“I would come home after practice and ignore my wife and young children and sit in front of the TV and fall asleep.” His wife, Rudy, had always been concerned about her husband’s weight and would tell him that he needed a change, but to no avail. It took an innocent comment from his son to change his mind. “One day, my oldest son (age 6) was helping me fold laundry and counting the X’s on my shirt,” Cox said. “He said, ‘Wow Dad, did you know there are five X’s on your shirt? That’s a lot.’ His comment hit me like a ton of bricks.” From that point, Cox knew there needed to be a change. He knew he wanted to lose weight, but he wasn’t sure how to go about losing. It.

Incredible shrinking man
Teacher and coach Luke Cox dropped more than 80 pounds during a competition hosted by Kansas City Fitness Magazine from March to May 2013, going from size 50 jeans down to size 42.
R-II school board reassigns Snow By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
The Maryville Board of Education met in closed session for just over an hour Thursday, after which Superintendent Larry Linthacum announced the creation of the new position of athletic director and the reassignment of Activities Director Paul Snow, effective next fall. “We looked at the current position of athletic/activities director and decided it was too much for one person,” Linthacum said. “When you consider the overall management and leadership component of the position in it’s current state, we decided it was in the district’s best interest to divide the duties. “We expect that person to schedule all athletic events and officials, evaluate programs and coaches and communicate with parents and district patrons. That doesn’t even factor in coordinating all of the other activities that our students are involved in, so we felt this division of duties was necessary.” See SNOW Page 12

Despite the current prolonged cold spell, English said the center has an ample supply of men’s and women’s clothing on hand in a variety of sizes.

Donated venison, Farm Bill help stock Ministry Center By TONY BROWN News Editor
The generosity of northwest Missouri hunters is helping feed low-income Nodaway County families struggling through a long, hard winter. Starting Jan. 1, the Nodaway County Ministry Center food pantry, located at 971 S. Main
St. in Maryville, started giving away 1-pound packages of frozen ground venison. The meat was made available through the Missouri Department of Conservation’s annual Share the Harvest program to which 4,487 deer hunters contributed 227,358 pounds of venison statewide. Since Share the Harvest began in 1992, it has provided more
than 3.1 million pounds processed venison to food pantries and other nutritional assistance programs. More than 100 participating meat processors prepare the packages, which are then transported to pantries and other agencies for distribution to those in need.

CAPITOL BRIEFS Fordyce confirmed as agriculture director JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Senate has confirmed two of Gov. Jay Nixon’s choices to lead state agencies. The Senate confirmed Richard Fordyce as director of the Agriculture Department and Mike Downing to head the Economic Development Department on Thursday. Senators also signed off on three nominations, including two former school administrators, to the State Board of Education. Fordyce, of Bethany, has been chairman of the Missouri State Soil and Water Districts Commission since 2008 and was president of the Harrison County Farm Bureau from 1993 to 2010. Downing became the acting director of economic development in April 2013. He previously served as the agency’s deputy director of business development. All of the appointees had been serving in their positions but needed Senate confirmation to keep their jobs.
Senate passes mammogram measure JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Women with dense breast tissue would have to be notified about the need for additional screenings at their mammograms under legislation passed by the Missouri Senate. The measure was passed 32-0 by senators on Thursday and it now heads to the House. Sponsoring Republican Sen. Dan Brown, of Rolla, says mammograms might not pick up cancer if a woman has dense tissue. He says his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer only after a biopsy was taken after several mammograms turned up negative. Starting in 2015, the bill would require facilities that perform mammograms to notify patients that if they have dense breast tissue that additional tests might be required to detect cancer.
STATE BRIEFS Nurse is accused of stealing morphine ELLISVILLE, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis County nurse is facing felony charges for allegedly stealing morphine from elderly patients and diluting their medicine with water and mouthwash to hide the crime. Christi Franklin, 27, of Ballwin is charged with stealing of a controlled substance. Authorities say the thefts occurred between April 6 and July 6 at a facility for the elderly in Ellisville operated by Bethesda Health Group. Bethesda says the misuse of drugs was reported as soon as it was discovered, investigations were begun, and Franklin was immediately fired. The company says it appears that just one or two residents were affected.

Generosity helps Ministry Center Continued from Page 1 ordinator, said the Nodaway County charity received 650 pounds of venison this year, which it will continue to distribute to anyone who asks for it over the next couple of months. Atkins said it takes about 120 harvested animals to produce that much deerburger, and that the pantry still has about half of its original allotment available. All pantry clients have to do to receive the venison free of charge is to ask for some. Atkins said the meat is especially tasty if mixed half and half with ground beef. “We do want to thank the state of Missouri for this project,” he said. “It’s much better than just leaving it (deer flesh) in the back of a pickup truck or throwing it away after they shoot it.” The pantry plans on continuing to distribute venison as long as the supply lasts, which usually means into the early spring, Atkins said. Typically the Ministry Center provides nutritional assistance to about 200 families a month. And it set a record last November when 226 families obtained food

‘Two hundred and six families came through the pantry doors in December.’ there — the most ever. Two hundred and six families came through the pantry doors in December, a number that fell to 182 in January. Atkins said that translates to 500 or 600 people a month who receive pantry assistance. In terms of volume, Atkins said the Ministry Center distributes about 250,000 pounds of food each year, a selection that includes meat, fruit, vegetables, canned goods, bread, cereal, peanut butter, boxed entrees, condi-
University. In other words, the Ministry Center, which also provides families and individuals in need with clean used clothing, is a good-sized operation, one that is administered and staffed completely by volunteers. Atkins said hundreds of people serve as volunteers at the center each year, putting in an “official” total of around 12,000 hours. Many of those folks, however, don’t bother to write down their hours, so the actual
count is likely far higher. Local businesses also provide significant assistance to the center, said Atkins, noting that Walmart regularly donates meat, which it freezes shortly before the expiration date. The meat stays frozen once it reaches the center and so is safe to consume once clients get it home. The local Hy-Vee supermarket also makes in-kind donations to the center, Atkins said. Despite strong support from the community, the Ministry Center has gone through lean times in the past when shelves have grown bare. But right now, Atkins said, the inventory is fairly strong. “We can always use more food,” he said, “but we’re in pretty good shape.” In addition to local donations, Atkins said the center also stands to benefit from passage in Congress earlier this week of a new Farm Bill, which means a severely reduced stream of gov-
ernment commodities now flowing into the pantry will grow significantly in about six months. “We’ll probably receive about twice as many commodities because there is a Farm Bill,” Atkins said. On the clothing-distribution end of the Ministry Center, volunteer Clothing Room Coordinator Juanita English said her operation, too, is well supplied despite a prolonged winter cold snap. English said she is a little surprised more people haven’t come in to stock up on winter clothing, of which the center currently has plenty. She speculated that high heat bills and rising propane costs may mean some folks are simply too broke to buy gasoline and drive to the center whether they need a warm coat or not. “We’re always in need of children’s clothing,” she said, “but right now we have plenty of coats for men and women.”
Beatles’ Sullivan Theater item headed for auction NEW YORK (AP) — A large piece of stage backdrop autographed by the Beatles during their first live U.S. concert 50 years ago is headed to auction, where it could draw $800,000 to $1 million. Face caricatures accompany the signatures that the Fab Four penned between sets of their historic Ed Sullivan appearance on Feb. 9, 1964, which they opened with “All My Loving” in front of 700 screeching fans in the audience and 73 million television viewers. The current owner of the 4-foot-by-2-foot plastic wall section is Andy Geller, a longtime Beatles collector and television and film voice-over artist. It is being sold in New York City on April 26 through the Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auctions. A stagehand is responsible for getting the band members to sign the back of the wall section known as a hardwall traveler, which is rolled back and forth to reveal the next act. “It was a spur of the moment thing,” 81-year-old Jerry Gort said in a telephone interview from his Calabasas, Calif., home. “They came down from stage right from their dressing rooms, I gave them a marker and asked them to sign the wall.”
Ice storm causes widespread outages HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people spent a second day without electricity Thursday as utility crews from as far away as Canada and Arkansas scrambled to restore power lost when a heavy coating of ice took down trees and limbs in the mid-Atlantic. In Pennsylvania, where most of the outages were located, officials likened the scope of the damage to a hurricane. Some who might not get power back for several days sought warmth — or at least somewhere to recharge their batteries — in shopping malls, public libraries and hastily established shelters. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said after an aerial survey of the storm’s aftermath that crews put a priority on restoring electricity to hospitals and nursing homes, and to communications facilities and sewer plants. “This storm is in some respects as bad or maybe even worse than Hurricane Sandy,” he said.

LEGENDS OF THE FALL
A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
There were probably not too many folks around Maryville who shared my inclination to favor the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. But then, there were not too many folks around Hickory, N.C., who favored our Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats back in December when they were challenged by the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears for the NCAA Division II football championship in Florence, Ala. So, it was fitting that a celebratory feast, of sorts, was held during, the debacle that passed for a football game when the Seattle Seahawks pounded the Broncos to become the newest Super Bowl champions. The Bearcats had, after all, pounded the Bears, 43-28, to lay claim to their fourth D-II title well before the Seahawks put a 43-8 lickin’ on Archie’s boy, Peyton, and the rest of John Elway’s Denver dandies. The pre-game/halftime/and beyond feast I’m talking about was anchored by the payoff I garnered from Hickory, N.C., Mayor Rudy Wright as a result of his ill-advised decision to wager on his hometown Lenoir-Rhyne squad in the D-II championship game. I was still licking my chops from the smoked ham I had won on an earlier bet when a wager opportunity had first presented itself. The initial windfall came in a wager with Mayor Norris Gerhart on the outcome of the Missouri 3A football semifinal playoff game between his California Ponies and our beloved Spoofhounds. I know, there are those who consider betting between mayors inappropriate, but governors do it, so what the heck? When the challenge came, I responded. From California, it was a Jim Fall Berger’s ham against some Executive Editor Bubba’s barbecue. How could I lose, betting on the Hounds? I couldn’t. I didn’t. Tainted or no, the ham arrived in Maryville about the time our team left for St. Louis to bring home another championship trophy. This last time, it was Mayor Wright who perhaps somewhat inebriated with the heady stuff of his upstart team’s getting the chance to go up against our beloved Bearcats. Now don’t get me wrong. Hickory is a dandy place. I even visited there once during my Army days to see a fellow warrior from my outfit in Fayetteville, N.C. Hickory was once a major furniture-manufacturing center, and that industry still contributes to the local economy. Textiles have morphed into fiber-optics. Pressure-sensitive tape is also a basis of the local manufacturing economy. Along with a sizeable interest in barbecued meat. And the accompanying sauces. The payoff took its time in coming, but when the package finally arrived via Federal Express, it was more than I could have ever imagined. Barbecue. Sauce. A tee-shirt touting a Taste of Hickory — the local Bar-B-Q festival A Koozie capable of keeping maybe four adult beverages cold. A car-window sticker, etc., etc. And a very nice card congratulating Northwest and the Bearcats on their victory, and their sportsmanship. And the closer: “We’ll see you next year in Kansas City.” Bring it on, Bar-B-Q Man. I will admit I had heard over the years about North Carolina barbecue, as it would compare to any of Kansas City’s culinary delights, or even the variation I grew accustomed to growing up in Arkansas, specifically the Memphis-style originated by Charlie Vergos at The Rendezvous. And I will have to say, it is different. In a good sort of way. I must also admit I was expecting ribs, but was not disappointed. There was much more meat in the package than there would have been on a rack of ribs. Now the sauce was a whole different story, all together. Much thinner, because of the vinegar, I suppose. And much hotter, to my taste anyway. But when you pile some slaw atop the chopped pig that you heap on the bun, it’s just not bad at all. Fact is, it’s pretty damn good, thank you very much. Mayor Wright and I may never cross paths again, but it is pretty neat that our two cities have a certain pride in our respective universities, and we, as individuals, have the same level of devotion to our communities. And we can have some fun with it. Football brought us together, and we small-town mayors can have as much fun as governors betting on bowl games, or big-shot owners betting on the Super Bowls. It’s because of something called pride. And being able to give — and receive — a little goodnatured ribbing. Especially when some hometown bragging rights are involved. And some barbecue.
Travel broadens the mind, they say, so I have been taking advantage of offseason pricing and an open schedule made possible by retirement to, well, to travel. My destination was London. It is always interesting to read the papers in London to see what interests the English. They are, like us, consumed by their national politics. Conservatives versus Labour with a bit of Liberal Democrats thrown in. The latter two have joined a coalition government that makes for subtle conflicts over policies. In Britain’s parliamentary system you have to have a majority in the lower house to form the executive. No party won a majority in the last election, thus the coalition. Elections are due again in 2015, so maneuvering for position is difficult when two parties are supposed to share the same policies. Thus the subtle politics. Two issues dominate the domestic politics at the moment. One is whether to withdraw from the European Union. This is a drastic step that is championed by a rightist nationalist “third” party that has shown some strength in the polls. Many are pushing for a vote on the issue. The second issue is the December vote in Scotland as to whether to withdraw from the United Kingdom (which is the formal entity that we call England that includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Quite a drastic step, but no love has been lost between the two since England forced a unity of the two eons ago. It will be interesting to see what happens. Modern states are not sup-

The English have some concerns: Scotland and Manchester United posed to break up, but regionalism is rife throughout the world; in Russia, the Balkans, Sudan, and many other places. Internationally, the British are particularly following conditions in Syria
Richard Fulton and in Ukraine. One is in a vicious civil war, the other is experiencing a pull between influence of Russia and the European Union. Demonstrators in the streets want the president, who favored closer ties to Russia, to honor a pledge to sign agreements bringing it closer to the EU. Conflict continues. The British, not unlike us here in America, are sports crazy, but for different sports. Soccer (they call it football) of course, is king, like in most of the world. Cricket and rugby are
fervently followed as well. And horse racing is more popular there than in the U.S. The big news that has everyone talking is the decline of Manchester United football team. It is the Yankees of the Premier League, the highest level of their football. But they have fallen on bad times lately. They are sixth or seventh in the league behind archrival Manchester City as well as Chelsea and Arsenal. Look it up, it is a close race at the top. Okay, so you don’t follow European soccer-football. Try international cricket and rugby matches if you want rivalry. India, Pakistan and a variety of other former British influences are balmy over cricket. Everyone else just can’t understand the game. Australia, New Zealand and Fiji have tough rugby national teams. The British follow these two sports closely. Though football is king. There are at least three levels of leagues and the interesting thing is that if you finish last in the Premier League, you must drop down into the next level league and their top team joins the Premier League. Not a bad idea. Anyway, coming home I had only one complaint, well two if you count this lousy weather. I had to read the Maryville Daily Forums I missed. Used to be I could go through two weeks of papers in about half an hour. This time, it took me hours. All that new information and new columns! Not used to all that local news, I could even catch up on what’s happening in the local sports. Ah, the curse of a good newspaper.

The Super Bowl XLVIII diaries from the ‘chili’ Offutt household There’s a tradition in the Offutt household that stretches back to the year I was born. On Super Bowl Sunday, Dad made chili and the family sat down to watch the game. Yeah, I know. This is the same tradition that’s been played out in households across America since 1965. Just let me have this. My family doesn’t have many traditions apart from the Super Bowl, drinking beer and yelling at neighbors. For me, Super Bowl Sunday was special, it was the one day I ever saw my father cook anything that wasn’t outside over a fire. It was like seeing a lumberjack cuddle a lamb. After I grew up and had my own house and my own family, I too began to cook chili every Super Bowl Sunday and enjoy it heartily. Unfortunately, this stoic Offutt tradition never meant anything to anyone but me. Until now. This was the first year in my house the entire family actually wanted to sit and watch the Super Bowl with me. It turned out to be a tale of four Super Bowls: Super Bowl XLVIII: Diary of Mom 5:23 p.m.: When’s the game going to start? (5:25.) 5:26: (Sits back and begins reading a book.) 6:30: (Eats chili.) 6:40: (Starts reading book again.) Super Bowl XLVIII: Diary of a Seven-Year-Old Girl
6:15: What’s for dinner again? Chili? I don’t like chili. 6:20: (Denver return man Trindon Holliday is buried by Seahawks during a kickoff return.) Oh, the players are raining down on him. 6:22: What if someone accidentally kissed during the game? 6:25: I’ve been in girl’s soccer before (after a 91-yard touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch). 6:28: (Asleep on the couch.)
Jason Offutt 5:24 p.m.: When’s this stupid game going to start? 5:30: I’m hungry. When’s supper? 5:40: Which teams are playing? 5:44: I don’t like the replays. They’re stupid. 5:48: (Time out.) Where’s the football game? I don’t like these people talking. (Apparently expert game analysis is not her cup of tea.) 5:54: Talk, talk, talk. Blah, blah, blah. (Neither is color commentary.) 5:59: Which color are the Seagulls again? 6:04: What’s for dinner. Don’t you remember I’m hungry? 6:11: The Broncos are losing. They must be sad.
Super Bowl XLVIII: Diary of a Nine-Year-Old Boy 5:22 p.m.: Dad, who are you rooting for? (Broncos). OK. Me, too. 5:28: Oh, man. 5:36: No way. 5:52: Seahawks touchdown (jumping up and throwing hand in the air). 6:30: This chili’s good. 6:44: (Calls grandparents.) Hey, Grandpa, if you’re watching the game, I changed my favorite team to the Seahawks. 7:01: Denver’s going to lose, aren’t they, Dad? 7:02: I’m going to go play now. 7:30: Tell me who wins in the morning. Super Bowl XLVIII: Diary of Dad 5:25 p.m.: Why is everyone still talking? Don’t they know there’s a game on?

Not too cool for school
Temperatures well below freezing early Thursday forced the Maryville R-II School District to delay the beginning of classes by two hours following two days of severe winter weather during which school was called off altogether. This picture of the Maryville Middle School’s electronic sign, which flashes the temperature every few seconds, was taken shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday.
“My wife sent an email to Kansas City Fitness Magazine in February (2013),” Cox said. The magazine was holding a competition, much like TV’s “The Biggest Loser,” which focuses on people trying to lose weight. The magazine’s contest was a 12-week competition that encouraged participants to eat healthy and exercise regularly. “I weighed over 415 pounds at the time,” Cox said. “I had years of bad habits and bad eating habits. I was finally ready to lose the weight. People can try to encourage you all they want, but it really comes down to you really wanting to lose it. And that’s when you’ve got to go start. With this being a competition, I thought that would help motivate me.” Eating habits were something Cox really struggled with. He would take in more than 2,000 calories a day from soft drinks alone, eat unhealthy snacks and even take the snacks out of his kids’ school lunches. “Being a coach, I would just eat when the players do,” Cox said. “I was eating buffets all the time and eating out. I would never eat at home. I would pretty much drink a case of soda per day.” Cox went to Kansas City to interview for the com-

show. It was a very humbling experience.” “The Doctors” focuses on health and medical issues. A team of medical professionals, sometimes with celebrity guests, discusses various health-related topics and answers questions from viewers and people in the studio audience. The episode featuring Cox will air Feb. 10. Cox has no plans to slow down his weight loss. He wants to use his new healthy lifestyle to help him be a better friend and father. “It’s not so much about losing the 80 pounds initially,” Cox said. “It’s about dropping the inches and eating healthier throughout the whole year. Here I am, 130 pounds lighter in 10 months. There was no surgery with it. It was all natural diet and exercise.” There is a target weight in sight, Cox said. And once he reaches it he wants to stay there. “I’m a big guy,” Cox said. “I’m 6 feet, five inches and have a large frame, so I know I’m not going to get too skinny. But I’m trying to get down to 265, but be a strong, fit and lean 265. I’m getting pretty close.” Cox said he wants to keep his healthy lifestyle going for as long as he can. When he’s 80, Cox said, he still

weight loss and they told me I should write my story,” Cox said. “I wrote the report, and I spilled my guts like in a journal. A few days later I had over 3,000 hits. After that CNN called me and asked if they could do a feature story.” He is also to be featured on the TV show, “The Doctors.” “It’s pretty much ‘The View,’ but with doctors,” Cox said. “It’s on during the daytime. They saw my story on CNN, and they called me and flew my wife and I out to Hollywood to tape the
wants to be active and living healthy. At the beginning of the competition, Cox was wearing that 5-extra-large shirt. Recently he was able to purchase his first extra-large shirt since his freshman year of high school. Cox said his family, friends and Kansas City Fitness Magazine were all very supportive of his weightloss journey. “This is a total lifestyle change,” Cox said. “There’s no magic potion you can take for two months, or a pill you can take once a day. It’s not about that. It’s about sustaining healthy living for the rest of your life.” Residential Glass Replacement • Storefronts

Loser,’” Cox said. “You go there and you learn healthy habits and you learn to exercise.” One issue that Cox faced was living two-and-a-half hours away from Kansas City, where the competition was being held. “Living in Tarkio, we didn’t have a trainer or gym at the time,” Cox said. “Part of the program was getting access to multiple gyms, trainers and weekly workout sessions. Being two-and-ahalf hours north, there was no way I could do those during the week.” Cox didn’t let his distance from the competition keep him down. He enlisted the help of his friend Ty Ratliff, an elementary school physical education teacher. Ratliff was all for helping Cox out, and they used the resources at hand to help Cox lose weight. “We worked out at the rec center here in Tarkio until it closed for the summer,” Cox said. “It closed in April, so in April and May we just worked out at the high school.” Cox also had to change up his bad eating habits. Instead of eating a huge breakfast, he would have a protein shake and some egg whites. Instead of eating the school lunch, he would bring in a spinach salad with shaved turkey. Instead of drinking lots of soda, he would drink water and tea. In order to keep his metabolism up, he changed to eating six or seven small
meals a day that consisted mainly of fruits and proteins. “I completely revamped (my diet),” Cox said. “I offset my fruit and protein every two hours. I drank at least a gallon of water a day. It’s all about eating every few hours to keep your metabolism going and fueling your body.” The competition ran for 12 weeks in March, April and May. When it was over, Cox had lost 80 pounds. “After the 12 weeks, I had lost over 80 pounds and went from a size 50 jean to a size 42,” Cox said. “I went from a 5-extra-large T-shirt to a 2-extra-large-tall t-shirt. Oh, and I won the 12-week program. I started the contest at 396 and ended at 316.” Since the end of the competition, Cox has focused on continuing his healthy lifestyle. Since the beginning of the competition 10 months ago, Cox has lost more than 130 lbs. Not only has he continued to lose weight, his journey has garnered national media attention. His students encouraged him to write an iReport on CNN.com, which was turned into a feature on the website. “My students came across a CNN iReport about

Maryville all-staters Morrison, Nally pick Northwest on signing day By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Sometimes the pull of home is too much to disregard and that was the case as National Football Signing Day approached for a pair of Maryville all-state performers. Safety Trent Nally, the Class 3 Defensive Player of the Year, and offensive lineman Jackson Morrison, a three-time all-state honoree, made their decisions official Wednesday when they signed their Letters of Intent to stay home and play for Northwest for the next five years. “We’re excited because the general fan doesn’t realize how good they are and look at them like Maryville kids. That’s not the case. Those two kids are really good players who were being courted by bigger schools and I commend them for the way they went through the process,” Northwest head coach Adam Dorrel said. “They just kept coming back to, ‘Everything I want to get done in my college career, I can get done at Northwest Missouri State.’ I think it certainly helps us that those kids not only grew up here in Maryville, they grew up coming to football games.

Maryville senior captains Jackson Morrison (75) and Trent Nally (9) celebrate their second consecutive Class 3 state championship with their teammates in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. Morrison and Nally are two of the 28 players who signed National Letters of Intent to play their college football at Northwest.
dads would bring them out. They probably have some good memories of this place and want to make some of their own.” The process went a little different for the two standouts who helped Maryville to back-to-back Class 3 state championships. Nally verbally committed to the Bearcats early in the process, getting his
commitment out of the way before he senior season at Maryville. “It started out in May and I talked to coach Dorrel and it was nothing heavy,” Nally said. Two or three weeks went by and our season started in August – the first two weeks of August – and I (verbally committed) then. I took my visit January 18-19 and that kind of reasserted
my decision .... I knew I wanted to be at Northwest.” The family atmosphere that is often referenced and was even the Cats’ creed this season, making its way onto the back of the Northwest players as they captured the program’s fourth Division II national title. “The family environment that all the players have and the coaches share with their
players was huge and I got to witness that every year because I obviously live here,” Nally said. “I’ve been around and I’ve seen things and I’ve heard things and it really is true, it really is a true family environment. They obviously win, which is also huge. The game day atmosphere was huge. How the community supports them, win or lose, was huge.
Those were some of the big things that made me choose them.” Morrison’s process was a little more drug out, with the lineman engaging in talks with Big 12 schools, FCS schools as well as the hometown team. “At the beginning of my junior year, I was still talking to school’s like Missouri and stuff like that, but it got down to those FCS schools and I took all my visits,” Morrison said. “I felt like I had to take all those visits to make the best decision I could and my visit to Northwest just felt right. “Really when I went on my visit it was pretty natural walking around and being around the guys. Obviously, it’s close to home and it just felt like a place where I wanted to be.” Morrison said he looked up to the Northwest players going to games as a little kid and is now looking forward to having kids looking up to him and dealing with the high expectations that come with playing collegiate football at a place with a championship pedigree like Northwest. “As a little kid, I did go to all the games and I looked up to those guys,” Morrison said. “I’m looking forward

Maryville has a choice after letdown against Smithville By JASON LAWRENCE Sport editor
After the improvement the Maryville girls basketball team made in the second half against Lathrop on Monday night, it was a little frustrating for head coach Grant

NW baseball announces game changes MARYVILLE, Mo. – Northwest Missouri State baseball coach Darin Loe announced a pair of schedule changes. Northwest has rescheduled and relocated a pair of weekend games with Northwestern Oklahoma, originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Those two
games will be played as a double-header on Monday at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas. The games will start at 2 p.m. with a nine-inning game followed by a seven-inning game. The Feb. 11, game against Newman in Wichita, Kan., has been canceled.

Maryville captains ready to add to ring collection as Bearcats Continued from Page 7 to being one of those guys that the little kids can look up now and want to go be Bearcats. “It’s fun to win and at Maryville, we like to win. The expectations at Northwest are high, and I wouldn’t want to have it any other way.” Although both Morrison and Nally racked up the individual accolades during their illustrious high school careers, Maryville head football coach Matt Webb said they are really good teammates as illustrated by Morrison’s play with such a dominant unit that helped pave the way for 4,692 yards rushing and 56 touchdowns and Nally playing quarterback to benefit the team. “Jackson is a member of an offensive line that’s been very dominant and he’s the first one to tell you that just because he makes a big block, it’s all five of those guys working together. He’s an unselfish offensive lineman,” Webb said. “For Trent to be able to unselfishly play quarterback this year — he was excited to play defensive back. You’re looking at the Class 3 Defensive Player this year. Trent is a defensive back at the college level, he’s a defensive player. He may grow into an outside linebacker or something, but for him to unselfishly play quarterback this year because I asked him as a head coach to do it for our team to make our team the best it could be, I think speaks volumes for what type of person he is.” At the end of the day, Webb said every coach wants to see their players move on to the next level. “I think anybody would tell you that any coach wants their players to go on to the college experience and be in a good place, around good people and good coaches and be in good programs that are solid,” Webb said. “Just the sense and feeling that they’ll be taken care of. I can’t tell you the comfort
level I personally have with Northwest Missouri State and the Bearcats and what they do out there and the type of program they run. Certainly, it’s been very well respected for years. They do things the right way.” Selfishly, though, he’s happy they are staying home. “I’m just very proud to say that we’ve got a couple more Spoofhounds out there (at Northwest) and I’m selfishly happy that I’ll be able to watch them play a little more often right here in our hometown,” Webb said. Now, Northwest has four of the cornerstones of the last two Maryville state championships with Nally and Morrison to go along with quarterback Jonathan Baker and defensive lineman Caleb Mather, who redshirted this past season at Northwest, as is customary of first-year players. “These guys were both voted on by our team as our team captains this past year,” Webb said. “These are my two captains and they’re going on to play college ball together with two guys that were leaders on our team two years ago, in Jonathan Baker and Caleb Mather. All four of those guys have something unique, but these two specifically, I think, have a drive and a sense of wanting to be the best. They’re very driven young men athletically. They’re very critical of themselves. They critique themselves, they work hard and they’re very humble. They’re very good teammates.” Both Nally and Morrison are prepared to go in and help the Cats in any way they can. Dorrel said Morrison could play center or at either guard spot while Nally could play either safety position or even possibly switch down to play the rover linebacker position. “I have a lot of room to improve,” Nally said. “I have a lot of weight that I need to put on and I know I will. It really doesn’t matter to me. I’m out there to help them wherever

they need me, whether it’s rover, safety, special teams, I’ll do it. I’m more than willing.” “I’ll go in and help the team however I can,” Morrison said. “As a freshman, you’re expected to go in and work hard and earn the respect of the older guys, so that’s what I’m planning to do.” Adding two more Spoofhounds to the Bearcats’ roster also bodes well for the high school football program.
“I think it gives those guys down at the high school some drive,” Morrison said. “Coach Webb does a great job there at the high school and he’s going to give all of those players the best opportunity he can to go on and play at the next level.” Neither can wait to step inside Bearcat Stadium and onto Mel Tjeerdsma Field to hopefully add to their collection of rings right in their own backyard.
Hounds must continue to fight with 3 tough games next week Continued from Page 7 Hageman said. “It seemed like we just sat back and were watching them instead of trying to play with them.” Maryville held a 2-0 and 2-1 lead for the first couple minutes of the first quarter, but then Smithville went on a 10-0 run and led 20-5 after the first quarter. The Warriors pushed their lead to 39-9 by halftime. “Early on, it was going OK in
the first quarter for quite a while,” Hageman said. “I’m just a little disappointed we didn’t do the simple things — the simple, basic fundamentals of basketball that we know we can do. We just didn’t execute those things.” The second half wasn’t much better as Smithville outscored Maryville 27-6 to take the game 66-15. “I feel like tonight was the first time where we kind of lost our
fight,” Hageman said. Sophomore forward Josie Patton led Maryville with seven points. “That’s probably one of the best team’s we’ll play all year, so you look at it as we can go two directions from here and tomorrow’s a new day,” Hageman said. “We used it as a life lesson: how are you going to respond? When one door shuts in your face, you can sit there and stare at it or you can move on and try to find the next
open door.” Hageman said his team could use Smithville (12-1), which is the No. 3 ranked team in Class 4, as a model for where it wants to be moving forward. “You look at what got them to that level, obviously a commitment to basketball, a dedication to basketball, and hopefully our girls can realize that they can do the same thing if they commit to the game and stuff like that,” he said.
Maryville (4-15) doesn’t have much time for rest as it travels to Cameron on Monday and Chillicothe on Tuesday before hosting Benton on Thursday. “We’ve got three tough games next week and if we lose our fight, it’s gonna be a long week,” Hageman said. “If we keep fighting and keep improving, eventually we’ll have opportunities, so we’ve got to make sure we’re ready when those opportunities come up.”

Don’t sit back in the year ahead -make things happen by focusing on what you do best. You will gain respect if you voice your opinion and take a position of leadership. If you show your worth, you will map out a direction that will lead to greater security. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Don’t expect others to see things your way. Patience and moderation will be required. A tricky situation can go either way. Don’t take chances when it comes to how you earn your living. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Stay calm, even if your principles are questioned. Avoid a confrontation that may put you out in front of others. Help those unable to help themselves. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Looking over your financial situation and personal papers will help you feel better about your future. Free your life from encumbrances to ease stress and open doors. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep life simple, as adding expenses or responsibilities will lead to anxiety. Avoid excess by eliminating events and friendships that are geared toward indulgence. Protect your assets and health. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be careful what you say. A difference of opinion could alter your future and put you in a defensive position. Listen, but refrain from getting involved
CROSSWORD
BRIDGE BY PHILLIP ALDER
SUDOKU
Pressure them into going too high
Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.
Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychiatrist who died in 1937, said, “There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.” True, if you wish to be successful at the top level of
in a no-win situation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t lend or borrow money or possessions. Feelings of obligation to get involved in someone else’s plan will not bring you closer to reaching your goal. Choose what’s best for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Home-improvement projects or helping someone will cost more than you expect. Stick to the truth and say what’s on your mind. Honesty is the best policy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Make a point to reconnect with old friends. Travel plans that entail business or educational pursuits will pay off. The connections you make along the way will be revealing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Joint ventures and risky financial schemes must be avoided. Extravagance will result in additional worries and stress. Caution must be taken against minor health problems or injuries. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Aggressive behavior must be monitored carefully. There will be a fine line between being helpful and pushy. Listen to what’s being said and act accordingly. Let your intuition guide you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Look before you leap. Mishaps are likely if you don’t take precautions. Keep your opinions to yourself and avoid getting involved in an unsavory dispute. Make love, not war. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Generosity will lead to uneasiness. You don’t have to give in to demands from people who are asking too much. Offer suggestions, solutions or physical help, not money.
anything, you must be able to handle the pressure. This applies even at the bridge table. But there is another form of pressure in bridge -- pre-emptive bids, which pressure the opponents by removing bidding space. Look at the South hand. After two passes, what would you open? In the first two positions, one heart would be a popular choice. But after two passes, the dynamic changes. North-South’s chances of making game have diminished. It is time to pressure West. Open three hearts! Or, if that is too rich for you, bid two hearts. Now look at the full deal. After a three-heart opening, West would make a takeout double and East would advance with three spades. This contract would go down after three rounds of hearts are played, but West would never pass with such a strong hand. He would carry his side into deeper waters. At the table, South opened one heart, West doubled, North responded
one no-trump, East passed, South rebid two hearts, and this ended the auction when West very cautiously passed. The defense was excellent, though. West led the spade ace: three, six, queen. West, not fooled, continued with the spade king, and East dropped his nine, a suit-preference signal for diamonds (the higher-ranking of the other two side suits). West cashed his diamond ace, gave his partner a diamond ruff, got back on lead with the club ace, and gave East a second ruff for down one.

Disabled voter list available By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
With municipal elections approaching Tuesday, April 8, Nodaway County Clerk Beth Walker reminded homebound registered voters this week that citizens coping with disability or illness are eligible for a special program. Registered voters whose
health makes it difficult to get to the polls can contact the clerk’s office and ask to be included on the Permanent Disabled list. Disabled voters are allowed to receive a ballot by mail for every election. Currently there are 100 active disabled voters in Nodaway County who take advantage of this service. Inclusion is permanent un-
less the voter requests to be taken off. “Those on the Permanent Disabled list don’t have to meet the same requirements as a regular absentee voter,” Walker said. “They don’t have to have their ballot envelopes notarized.” To be included on the list, call Walker at the Nodaway County clerk’s office at (660) 582-2251.
Snow given reassignment Continued from Page 1 The search for candidates for the athletic director position, which will come with an 11-month contract, will be started immediately. Snow was reassigned to a position in which he will serve 60 percent of the time as a district librarian and 40 percent of the time as activities coordinator. He retains his position as athletic trainer for the district, and
will serve as the summer programs athletic trainer as well. “This wasn’t my choice,” Snow said. “I’m doing what I’m being asked to do.” When asked if he would pursue other opportunities outside the Maryville R-II district, Snow said he would. “My son will be a senior next year,” Snow said, “and he will continue to attend MHS. However, I will consider other employment opportunities outside the district.”
Stoll shadows Daily Forum Continued from Page 1 lisher, Phil Cobb, discussed some possibilities for their current website. When the conference call ended, Kaity introduced me to each member of the staff who made me feel very welcome. Later I sat down with Ka-
ity and discussed what daily tasks her work entails. I learned that her duties include selling ads, updating the Forum’s website, reporting for the agriculture section of the paper, and much more. The staff was also nice enough to include me in
their budget meeting where they planned the next day’s paper. I very much enjoyed my job shadow at the Maryville Daily Forum and would like to thank Kaity Holtman and her co-workers for letting me experience a day with them.
Winter skies
TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM
An atmospheric phenomenon known as a halo, or icebow, appeared in the sky to the east of Maryville early Wednesday. Halos are produced by ice crystals in clouds that act as prisms, splitting sunlight into its component colors. Beautiful as it was, the halo was a product of this week’s severe cold and appeared as the temperature hovered around 1 degree. Nodaway County residents stayed in the deep freeze this week as temperatures crashed into double digits below zero Wednesday night. Today’s forecast calls for cloudy skies, a 30 percent chance of snow, and continuing “dangerously cold” temperatures with nighttime wind chills of between 20 and 30 below. Clouds will persist Saturday with lows around 2 degrees and wind chill readings of 10 to 15 below zero after midnight. It should be partly sunny Sunday with a high of 12 and below-zero temperatures at night.
