Area anglers hooked on sport of ice fishing By TONY BROWN News editor
With the temperatures “soaring” into the high teens Saturday morning, it was a perfect day for more than 100 hardy souls to head out to Mozingo Lake Recreation Park for a few hours of ice fishing. Held at least annually — assuming the ice gets thick enough to be safe — the Missouri Department of Conservation clinic has grown into a popular event at Mozingo, attracting anglers of all ages from across the region. There’s no charge, and MDC staff are on hand with loaner tackle, jigs and bait. Fisherfolk at Saturday’s event were also treated to free soft drinks, minipastries, potato chips and
boiled frankfurters served up by fisheries management biologist Matt Engel. The ice fishing workshop at Mozingo got its start about six years ago when another MDC fisheries biologist, Tory Mason, whose area includes Nodaway County, decided the sport had untapped potential in northwest Missouri. Mason grew up ice fishing in northern Illinois and continued his winter angling ways while attending college at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. “A lot of people are kind of afraid to try it on their own,” said Mason while baiting a hook dressed in camouflage hat and gloves, insulated coveralls and a green MDC barn jacket. “So this kind of gets you going. People want some-
thing to do in February.” Crouching over a coffee-can sized hole in the ice 200 feet offshore on a windswept, snow-covered 1,000-acre lake waiting for a crappie or bluegill to tickle your jig may not sound like everyone’s idea of a good time. But ice fishing is finding a good number of converts in these parts, Mason said. “It’s addicting, almost,” he said, “and you’re not going to drift off your spot. If you catch fish you know you’re right on them.” And the anglers at Mozingo Saturday seemed to be having a fair amount of success, pulling pan-sized fish from pre-drilled drilled holes — courtesy of MDC — at fairly regular intervals.

Salt reserve shrinks as price skyrockets By TONY BROWN News editor
Street Superintendent Jay Cacek said Saturday that the city of Maryville is struggling to maintain an adequate street salt reserve following last week’s severe winter storm that dumped between five and seven inches of snow on Nodaway County. The problem, Cacek said, is not so much the amount of snow that has fallen locally but an increased demand for icemelting salt throughout the rest of the state, and indeed much of the nation, which has been locked in winter’s grip for weeks. The price of street salt
has doubled and then some since late fall when it was selling for around $60 a ton. Suppliers are currently asking for $165 a ton, if indeed the compound is available at all. Cacek said he was able to purchase a single 25ton load of salt prior to the storm at $130 per ton, and that the city, as of Saturday, had a total of about 160 tons stored at its maintenance garage on the east side of town. It takes about 30 tons of salt to treat Maryville’s 80 miles of streets following an “average” snow storm, and perhaps twice that if there is a significant amount of ice. While pledging that the
city’s street crew would do everything it could to keep the streets clear and safe in the event of more bad weather, Cacek said he is hoping he can “get by with what we’ve got.” “We’re going to use salt wisely,” he said. Otherwise, Cacek’s sixmember crew has been working to keep trucks and other equipment going during what is, by any measure, a very hard winter. One truck recently had to be fitted with a new set of leaf springs while another went in for repairs after its snowplow was torn off. “Other than that, it’s gone pretty well,” Cacek said of this year’s snow removal efforts.
State targets disabilities wait list JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Hundreds of people who have developmental disabilities could begin receiving publicly funded services as Missouri officials tackle a waiting list for in-home services that now stands at nearly 1,400 people. Gov. Jay Nixon has proposed nearly $24 million for in-home services for people qualifying for Medicaid, which officials estimate would cover 970 people. The potential for
additional help is leading to some excitement, particularly among those who need the services. Maureen Fitzgerald, director of disability rights for The Arc, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, said wait lists can lead to financial difficulties and psychological strain. Family members sometimes quit jobs or reduce hours to care for loved ones.
Missouri has been making progress since launching Partnership for Hope in 2010. The program combines county, state and federal funds and is seeking to end the waiting period for services, thereby avoiding the need for institutional placement. The program now covers 101 counties and St. Louis city and offers services such as transportation, specialized medical equipment, job preparation and independent living skills.

Special Olympics teams compete By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

First First Friday
Dan Hegeman, North District community affairs manager for Kansas City Power & Light, left, speaks with Melanie Smith, right, executive director of the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce, during Friday’s inaugural First Friday Coffee, a new chamber event hosted last week by US Bank.
Chamber members do ‘First Friday’ The Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce began a monthly tradition called First Friday Coffee last week. US Bank hosted the inaugural Friday morning social at its 120 S. Main St. location. The bank provided coffee and breakfast food like muffins and doughnuts as about 35 business owners and employees gathered in the lobby to network and socialize. Melanie Smith, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, said the event went over very well. “Our First Friday Coffee event was a success, due to the variety of members who were represented at the event,” Smith said. “I heard a lot of good conversations, and that was exactly what we had hoped would come from the event.” The coffee socials will take place on the first Friday of every month at different businesses that belong to the chamber. Fellow chamber members are invited to attend, to network with fellow businesses and discuss goings-on in the community. The events also allow new members to get acquainted with the chamber and its membership. “Here at the chamber, our most valuable resource is our membership,” Smith said. “We would like to give our members more opportunities to network with each other because those personal relationships are so vital to maintaining and growing business.” Derek Pulliam, general manager of My Favorite Muffin, recently took over his position and saw this event as an opportunity to connect with people in the business community that he hadn’t met yet. “The biggest value for me was that it was an easy way to reach out to fellow chamber members,” Pulliam said. “This way, we could all meet in one place, in a casual, social setting.” Smith is hoping the event will continue to grow and become a staple event for Maryville businesses. “Thank you to US Bank for their hospitality and to everyone who attended,” Smith said. “We look forward to seeing everyone again in March.”
CAPITOL BRIEFS Proposal would ease drug offense penalties
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Buried within a 1,100page bill that would overhaul Missouri’s criminal laws is a substantive change in how the state would handle drug offenders. The legislation, a product of a Missouri Bar committee comprised of prosecutors and public defenders, would reduce the penalties for possessing less than 35 grams of marijuana for first-time offenders. Under current law, marijuana possession carries a penalty of up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The Senate’s version of the legislation would prohibit first-time marijuana offenders from serving jail time. It would also reduce the maximum fine to $500. If someone was found guilty of possession a second time then he or she could face up to one year in jail and a larger fine. The Senate bill would also reduce the maximum prison sentence for other felony drug possession offenses.
Nixon endorses updated Ozark Riverways plan
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Friday endorsed the same plan the federal government is backing for managing the spring-fed Current and Jacks Fork rivers. In a letter to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, the governor said the park system’s preferred option for managing the Ozark National Scenic Riverways is the “most reasonable approach.” The National Park Service is in the process of updating its management plan at the park for the first time in three decades. It has put forward three options with varying degrees of restrictions as well as a “no action” option that would leave the current plan in place. Its preferred proposal would close 65 miles of undesignated horse trails and unauthorized stream crossings while adding restrictions on the use of motorized boats and converting 150 miles of off-road trails used by allterrain vehicles to hiking paths.
While the eyes of the world may be focused on the Sochi Olympics in Russia, a local team had its own Olympic moment of glory Saturday with plenty of support from fans and the Maryville High School community. Missouri Special Olympics held its annual North Missouri Area basketball tournament Saturday at Bearcat Arena. According to Katie Hrenchir, program manager for the North Area, it’s one of the largest such events in the state. “We have 260 participants on 43 teams,” Hrenchir said. “Plus, Maryville supports the event very well, as we have between 200 and 300 volunteers. Without their help an event of this magnitude wouldn’t be possible.” A local squad, the Maryville Spoofhounds Special Olympics basketball team, culminated its preparation for the event with a rousing pep rally Friday afternoon at Maryville High School. The squad was introduced, and team member Parker Schenkel thanked everyone for their support, including coach Nicole Schroeder and team manager Diane Francis. After an exciting opening ceremony Saturday morning at Bearcat Arena, which included the presentation of the Missouri Special Olympics torch and a grand entrance by all participants, something happened that brought the crowd to its feet. Chaz Lyle, disguised in the Bobby Bearcat mascot costume, proposed to Hrenchir as she was preparing to speak to the large crowd. This emotional moment culminated in a standing ovation as Hrenchir said yes. The Spoofhounds were the first squad to take the

Head MHS football coach Matt Webb, along with the Spoofhound football team and cheerleading
‘I had fun, and I thought the team played pretty good.’ — Jessica Allen squad, were on hand to lend support. Maryville thrilled the hometown fans by gaining a 10-8 halftime lead, but cold shooting by Trenton in the third quarter caused Maryville to drop a 28-18 decision. Coach Schroeder said the team kept a positive attitude.
“We just regrouped and got ready for our next opponent,” she said. “With all of the support we received from our fans our excitement level stayed high.” As fortune would have it, the Spoofhounds again encountered the Junior Dawgs during the day’s play, and this time the Maryville squad was more determined than ever to do its best and come out on top. “That first game was just practice anyway,” sophomore Dillon Hastings said. The rematch was tightly contested, with the teams trading the lead throughout to the delight of the crowd. Thanks to timely rebounding by Parker Schenkel, two clutch baskets by Jessica Allen and some outstanding ball handling by Hastings, the Spoofhounds were victorious. “The team was really
excited about the second game,” Schroeder said. “The crowd was fantastic and really pumped the team up.” Allen, who had two key baskets in the fourth quarter, was excited after the game. “I had fun, and I thought the team played pretty good.” When she was asked about her two clutch baskets, Allen said, “I’ve been practicing.” MHS Special Olympics basketball team members include Parker Schenkel, Cameron Schenkel, Dillon Hastings, Garrett Parker, Jessica Allen, A.J. Holder, Tony Francis, and unified partners (non-handicapped players) Alexis Boeh and Rachel Schmitz. Also on the roster are cheerleader Sarah White, coach Nicole Schroeder and team manager Diane Francis.
Flushers compete at Mozingo Lake By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
For the second straight weekend, Mozingo Lake Recreation Park played host to a national Bird Hunters United event. After hosting the BHU Pointer Nationals the weekend of Feb. 1-2, a similar competition for flushing dogs took place Friday and Saturday at the park’s youth camp. Flushers are hunting dogs that are trained “flush” game birds out of hiding, rather than snapping to a point when a bird is detected. The competition was once again held on 10-acre plots of ground, with three birds randomly placed within that area. As with the pointer competition, the dog/handler team is timed during its run. The dog must detect the bird and flush it out. Once the bird is flushed, the handler must successfully shoot the bird. Then the dog retrieves the bird and brings it back to the handler. Once all three birds have been detected, flushed, shot and returned, the run is complete, and a time is given as the team’s score. A penalty of three minutes is assessed to the team if the handler misses his or her first shot. While the pointer event produced more than 150 runs, between 45-50 runs were completed at the flusher event. Dogs and handlers

Top three finishers in the Bird Hunters United Flusher Nationals, held Friday and Saturday at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park are, left to right: third-place “Remington” with handler Rusty Baker of Independence, Kan.; first-place “Nixon” with handler Scott Black of Grinnell, Iowa; and second-place “Deke” with handler Stuart Young of Russell, Kan. from Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas participated. “Our national events are a little different than most,” BHU official Jason Nelson said. “Most organizations like ours have open nationals, where you can show up and compete without having to qualify first.
“Our national events for both the flushers and pointers involved qualification at one of the 12 to 15 qualifying events we host throughout the season. The dogs and handlers at our national events are the best of the best.” BHU president Joe Deschaine said the participants in the flusher event,
like those who participated in the earlier pointer event, raved about the Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. “We really would like to bring both events back here next year,” Deschaine said. “In fact, it would be great for BHU if Mozingo became the permanent home for our national events. Hopefully, we can make that happen.”

Why the Left needs the Right to keep this nation on track
For the past five years, Lefties have regaled the American public with their awesome political insights, one of which is the Right is obsolete, a dinosaur bogged in a tar pit of traditionalism and all that silliness about individual rights and personal responsibility. Old fogies like me just aren’t wowed by the righteous direction of Progressivism as brought forth by the Obama regime. We Righties are hopeless, you see, seeking shade in history and an understanding of human nature rather than basking in the sunlight of a prez who seems to not understand either. The objective of the Leftist machine is to diminish the Right to the point of obscurity, and things went swimmingly for two years when the Oval Office and both houses of Congress were in the sleeper hold of those most liberal. Lefties planned to do as they pleased, as if there was no system in place, as if law and tradition were merely the relics of a democracy past its prime. Righties were rudely elbowed aside and trillions were extracted from the economy, as though redistribution alone is the plasma for recovery. The progressive boom was lowered. Pushback in 2010 produced a Republican House of Representatives and rock-jawed defense of conservative principles a bit too late. ObamaCare was rarin’ to go and Harry Reid, Obama’s personal bobble head, had put a bear hug on the Senate that still prevails. But the grid locked up. The money slinging slowed a bit. The giddy propulsion of social silliness now has a modicum of constraint. Mendacity from the Left is being challenged by cheerful warriors on the Right. Stone walls have been constructed around the White House by that cooperative bevy of masons, Big Media, liberal apologists, and social
engineers who see themselves as the salvation to a hopelessly corrupt capitalistic system controlled by greed and appetite. Now the walls are being chipped away, sometimes by those who sought refuge behind them. “I don’t remember” implies incompetence, faulty judgment, and protection within the ranks rather than the political integrity Americans should
Larry Anderson demand routinely. “What difference does it make now?“ implies an appalling indifference to those sacrificed; therefore, citizens have become skeptical of promises slathered with lies and attitude. So! There we are. Our tendency may be to look at the political situation and to declare failure. I submit what we are witnessing is the success of a system designed to constrain power rather than let it run wild along an ideological track. One may complain about the lack of cooperation between the houses, but political success isn’t based on unchallenged compliance but on the
vigorous wrestling with opposition. The best laws prevail over resistance. The worst laws have no resistance, only the power behind them. That is why the Left needs the Right. These sides aren’t meant to snooze together in a political hammock while the country slips into the lassitude of social corruption or the morass of a philosophy at odds with our heritage. We are a great and vigorous democracy. We are meant to battle for our beliefs and rise to the defense of what is right. There are no significant weaknesses in our system, only weak people who fail to understand or respect it. Our power lies in our elections and our determination to preserve and protect the world’s greatest bastion of freedom. We must validate daily that which we cherish most: our freedom to be who we are, to work for the ownership of a small piece of this planet, to speak openly and critically, to demand the best from our leaders whom we have honored with our votes. When we see wrong, we must move decisively to change, and let’s not tell ourselves we don’t know wrong when we see it. We most certainly do, but first we have to look. Every day, we should honor James Madison, the diminutive designer of our Constitution. Somehow this great man could see centuries down the road and took institutional measures to protect generations unborn. We don’t have to see that far. We just have to look to November. You see, the Right is not obsolete, and the Left needs us to remind it that in America, we will achieve social justice through the practice of guarantees handwritten by brilliance over two centuries ago rather than through the radicalization and distortion of the same. Larry W. Anderson is a fiscal conservative, a social moderate, and a liberal skeptic.

Snow extends Columbia school session into June COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A full week of ice, snow and extreme cold has pushed a central Missouri school district’s calendar into June. Columbia public schools were closed Friday for a fifth straight day, meaning the district has had seven closings for bad weather so far this academic year. District officials have moved the final day of classes to June 5, rather than May 27 as
originally scheduled. Missouri requires public schools to include six inclement-weather days into their calendars. Districts must make up all of those days plus half of any additional days missed, up to a total of 10 makeup days. Columbia superintendent Chris Belcher says June 6 is probably the latest that school might end, regardless of any additional snow days this winter.

Channing Horner, Maryville, accepts a plate of treats from Martha Drake during Saturday’s annual Chocolate Festival at the Maryville First Presbyterian Church. The festival was expected to raise about $2,500 to support the weekly Shepherd’s Kitchen, Thurdays in the church basement. The Children and Family Center of Northwest Missouri and a church discretionary fund also benefit.
On the move?
Brandi Paris (right) and Kathie Williams fill out paperwork for customers at the Maryville License Bureau. The office is currently operated by the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce, but that could change.
License Bureau up for bids Continued from Page 1 cessful, the bureau would move from its long-time home between the chamber offices and City Hall to 1212B S. Main. “We have quite a bit of space here in our office that I thought would be perfect,” CSI Executive Director Bonnie Patterson said. “I think the current location is a little cramped, and we have ample space down here. “Plus I think it would increase traffic flow in our agency. We have ample parking, and we have quite a bit of space inside. We have public restrooms and kind of a variety of things that I don’t think are offered right now.” The Department of Revenue is currently evaluating bids from both organizations. The chamber’s expired contract has been extended until March because the department is facing a backlog of contract awards around the state. “It’s evaluated on a couple of different factors,” Smith said. “You get points if you are a not-for-profit organization, which we both are. You also get graded on experience and completing the application fully. It’s a pretty lengthy process to submit an application.” Last time its contract expired, the chamber was the sole bidder. Whichever organization wins out will be responsible for maintaining and staffing the bureau’s office and operation. Both entities say they plan to retain the current staff. Smith said the main reason the chamber bid on the contract in the first place was to make sure a License Bureau stayed in Maryville. “We wanted to be sure that we had an office in Maryville,” Smith said. “We didn’t want our folks to have to travel somewhere else to receive those basic
services.” Whoever wins the contract will derive some income from license fees. However, the revenue stream is relatively small after covering salaries and overhead. Small, but not inconsequential. If the chamber were to lose the contract, it would
have to make some changes, Smith said. “We would have to find a different office space,” she said. “We wouldn’t be able to afford a space this big, and we wouldn’t need it anymore. The directors would also have to take a hard look at the budget and see what changes there are that could be made.”

A cold day at the lake

Right: Mason, right, helps a young angler get started during Saturday’s ice fishing clinic at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. Below: Normally Matt Engel is a fisheries management biologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation, but last Saturday he was the official hotdog boiler at MDC’s annual ice fishing workshop at Mozingo Lake. DAILY FORUM PHOTOS BY TONY BROWN
Ice fishing is becoming popular wintertime activity Continued from Page 1 Mason said the department has worked to develop a prime ice fishing spot just north of the main boat ramp by covering the bottom of the lake with old tree limbs in an area where the water is between 20 and 30 feet deep. That fish have flocked to the cover was apparent by the blinking bars of light flashing across the screens of electronic fish finders, which several anglers brought with them to the workshop. Sonar-based fish detectors, popup tents, portable heaters, gasoline-powered augers and other high-dollar gear notwithstanding, Mason said acquiring the basics needed for safe ice fishing doesn’t require a major investment. One can buy the characteristically short pole, a reel, lightweight jigs (64th of an ounce), 4-pound test line and a butter tub-sized container of wax worms for around $50. You’ll also need a small ladle to dip bits of ice out of your hole to keep it from freezing over. The most expensive piece of equipment is generally the ice auger. Hand-powered models are available for around $40, but keep in mind that the more an auger costs the better it’s likely to work. And of course adequate winter clothing — especially well-insulated gloves, boots and headgear — is essential. At Mozingo and other area lakes, most ice fisherfolk are after crappie and bluegill, and the
ultra-light jigs and wax worms are intended to mimic mosquito larvae and other tiny bugs oozing up from the bottom that such fish feed on at this time of year. However, minnows and plastic worms can also yield results, especially for anglers going after bigger prey. A couple of weekends ago, for example, Buchanan County Conservation Agent Dave Carlisle pulled an 8-pound bass through the ice at Mozingo, so anglers here don’t necessarily have to settle for a pan-size stringer. “It’s just something different, and not everybody does it,” said Blake Nance, who drove to Maryville from his home in St. Joseph to participate in Saturday’s workshop. “As long as you’re catching fish you stay warm, and I don’t mind the cold, to be honest.” Nance said this is the first winter he’s gone ice fishing, but that he’s already got the bug. On his first outing a few weeks ago at a lake near Atchison, Kan., he said he used a regular fishing pole and chopped a hole in the ice with an ax. “My buddy and I limited out,” he said. “Oh yeah, I love it. I have a good time doing it.” Todd Wilson, Maryville, is another newbie who was trying his luck on the ice for the first time Saturday. “It’s not too bad, so far,” he said, awaiting his first catch. “It’s really about the same as (warm weather fishing) except that you have more layers of clothing on.
I guess it’s the first time I’ve been out here that I haven’t worried about getting a sunburn.” Aside from dressing warm and bringing along the right gear, Carlisle, who was back at Mozingo this weekend after catching that big bass, said a third consideration is safety. Ice needs to be at least four inches thick before it’s safe to walk on, and even then, Carlisle said, no one should ever go ice fishing alone. Being out in extreme cold and walking across acres of frozen water inevitably poses some risk, so it’s important to bring a buddy. Taking along a cell phone is another wise precaution, as is letting others know where you are and how long you expect to be there. Of course thin ice isn’t really a problem at Mozingo this year. Mason said that north of the boat ramp where the workshop took place the ice is 16 inches deep, perhaps the thickest it’s ever been. “This is a unique winter,” Mason said. “It’s been safe since before Christmas, and that is rare.” So, with thick ice and the lunkers biting, if you want to check out the fishing at Mozingo now is the time to do it. The only fee for angling without a boat at the cityowned park is the cost of an MDC fishing license. “People have cabin fever this time of the year,” said Atchison County Conservation Agent Eric Abbott, who helped out with Saturday’s event. “This is an opportunity to try something new and get out of the house.”

Lineup shake up can’t slow Maryville’s skid SMITHVILLE, Mo. — Maryville boys head coach Mike Kuwitzky shook up his lineup for Friday night’s contest against Smithville, but to no avail. Regular starts, juniors Hagen Snow and Jacob Cacek along with senior Ty Hilsabeck still took the floor, but at the other two guard positions, freshmen Trey Oglesby and John Zimmerman earned starting nods. Smithville jumped all over the Spoofhounds early, opening up a 21-4 first-quarter lead and never looking back on the way to a 71-42 victory. The second quarter was closer, however, as the Warriors outscored the Hounds just 16-15 in the period. The second half was just as close, with Smithville holding a one-point advantage in the second half, 24-23. The first quarter deficit was just too much. Junior Mitch Worthington led Maryville with 14 points while Cacek scored eight and Zimmerman added seven. Smithville standout Brock Mick scored a game-high 25 points. Maryville (4-14) will be back in action Friday night at Benton.

Nodaway-Holt senior guard Megan Rosenbohm leads a break-away during the Lady Trojans’ 66-20 win over West Nodaway last Friday night. Rosenbohm led the way with 21 points as 11 different Trojans scored in the contest.
Nodaway-Holt stays perfect By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Despite having their weekly practice and game schedule disrupted by inclement weather, the Lady Trojans of Nodaway-Holt showed no signs of rust as they downed 275 Conference rival West Nodaway 66-20 Friday night. “We had practice on Monday and Thursday and nothing in between,” Nodaway-Holt coach David Carroll said. “However, both practices were very good practices, especially Thursday’s practice.” Nodaway-Holt wasted no time in taking control of the contest, racing out to an 18-3 first quarter lead and never looking back. Sophomore Jaylee Holmes scored six points to lead the Lady Trojans. By halftime, Nodaway-Holt’s defensive pressure and fast-break offense
had widened the lead to 39-11, as senior Megan Rosenbohm scored eight points in the quarter. Junior Melody McGinness scored four of West Nodaway’s eight points in the quarter. “Our transition game worked really well,” Carroll said. By the end of three quarters, Nodaway-Holt had rolled to a 60-16 lead, as Rosenbohm scored nine in the quarter and several younger players began to see significant minutes for the Lady Trojans. Nodaway-Holt outscored West Nodaway 6-4 in the final stanza, as junior Bailea Plummer scored four of the six points tallied by the Lady Trojans in the quarter. McGinness scored all four of the Rockets’ points in the period. “All of our kids played well,” Carroll said. “Our starters did a nice job and the sophomores and freshmen who came off the bench did a good job.”
Nodaway-Holt, now 19-0 on the season, was paced by Rosenbohm’s 21 points while fellow senior Kalli Devers added 11 points. Eleven different Lady Trojans scored in the contest. For West Nodaway, now 0-18 on the season, McGinness led the way with eight points, while senior Emily Cordell added five. Nodaway-Holt goes on the road next week, as the Trojans travel to St. Joseph Christian tomorrow night, to Ravenwood for a make-up game with Northeast Nodaway on Thursday and a 275 Conference showdown with South Holt on Friday. All three contests are scheduled to tip off at 6 p.m. West Nodaway also goes on the road for a pair of 275 Conference games. The Rockets travel to Fairfax tonight to play Craig/Fairfax and head to Mound City to take on the Panthers on Friday.
ROCK PORT, Mo. — North Nodaway traveled to Rock Port Friday night for a pair of 275 Conference games, and were swept by the hosts, as the Lady Mustangs dropped a 55-53 overtime decision to the Blue Jays, and the Rock Port boys raced past North Nodaway 46-15. In the girl’s contest, North Nodaway jumped out to a 16-4 first quarter lead, but was unable to make that lead stand up. Senior Cambry Schluter led the Lady Mustangs, now 8-11 on the season, with 15 points, while freshman Madison Thompson added 11. Rock Port’s tough man-to-man defense was too much for the Mustangs to handle in the boy’s game, despite a first quarter that ended with the Mustangs trailing only 9-5. “The first quarter, we played how we wanted to,” Mustang coach Chris Schoning said. “We played great defense and moved the ball around on offense to get good open shots.” Rock Port opened its lead up to 28-8 by halftime and that lead was never threatened in the second half by North Nodaway. Freshman Peyton Coleman led the Mustangs, now 2-17 on the season, with five points, and sophomore Ben Hart added four points. Both North Nodaway squads are back in action tonight, as they travel to Oregon for a 275 Conference double-header with South Holt. Action is scheduled to tip off at 6 p.m.
Horns split with DeKalb
BARNARD, Mo. — The South Nodaway girls opened up a 10-point advantage after one quarter of play and used it to their advantage on the way to their 12th win of the season. The Lady Longhorns held a 17-7 first quarter lead before playing DeKalb even the next two quarters and taking a 34-24 lead into the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, South Nodaway outscored DeKalb 18-13 to grab the 52-27 win. Freshman Mallory McConkey and senior LeAnn Walker each scored 12 points while freshman Meaghan McConkey and senior Andrea Henggeler each scored 10. Junior Kristen Nielson chipped in with eight points, as well. The boys team didn’t have quite as good of luck, as the Longhorns trailed 26-21 at halftime and were outscored 19-13 in the second half to fall 45-34 to DeKalb. Seniors Zeb Coleman, Damien Willmore and Dalton Murphy each scored eight points to lead South Nodaway (5-12). The Longhorns are in action tonight at Rock Port with the girls tipping off first at 6 p.m.

Eagles soar past Osborn
OSBORN, Mo. — The Jefferson basketball teams made quick work of Osborn on Friday night, as both teams ran away with blowout victories. The girls opened the evening with a 57-14 victory, bouncing back from a short, two-game losing streak. The Lady Eagles jumped out to a 17-7 first-quarter lead and then the defense tightened, allowing just seven points the rest of the way. Jefferson outscored Osborn 16-4 in the second quarter to post a 33-11 lead at the break. The second half went about the same as the Lady Eagles won the third quarter battle 14-1 and claimed a 10-2 fourth-quarter advantage as well. Sophomore post Jessie Henry scored 17 points and grabbed six rebounds to lead the way while junior Danae Schieber added 15 points and six boards. The Lady Eagles (10-11) forced 19 turnovers and had an assist on 16 of their 23 field goals, including four assists each from freshman guards Sarah Chor and Kayla Schmitz. Jefferson’s boys (15-6) were just as successful, outscoring Osborn 14-9 in the first quarter before building a 35-15 halftime advantage. In the second half, the Eagles outscored Osborn 23-15 to reach the final 58-30 margin. Senior Kyler Farnan poured in 29 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and added five assists and four steals for the Eagles. Jefferson is back in action tomorrow night at Northeast Nodaway in a girls and boys double-header, which begins at 6 p.m.

Take him down
Maryville junior Trevor Zimmerman attempts to take down a Millard South (Neb.) opponent during the Quad State Classic earlier this season. Zimmerman won a 1-0 decision against his Polo opponent at Saturday’s Albany Tournament, in which the Spoofhounds won their division by going 4-1 on the day.
Hounds claim trophy at Albany
ALBANY, Mo. — The Maryville wrestling team wrapped up a busy few days with a team trophy after going 4-1 and winning its division at the Albany Tournament on Saturday. Maryville opened the tournament against Tarkio, and claimed a 52-12 victory. Tarkio’s squad only consisted of three wrestlers, but freshman Cayden Dunbar (120) picked up a win via fall. Maryville ran its record to 2-0 in the early going, doing Stanberry 4521 behind pins from junior Brendan Weybrew (heavyweight) and freshman Logan Zimmerman (145) and a 5-2 decision victory by freshman Matt Twaddle (132). Weybrew took just 48 seconds to pin his opponent. The Spoofhounds claimed a close victory over Polo, 39-36. Dunbar, Twaddle, Weybrew and senior Dane Hull (152) all pinned their opponents with Twaddle, Weybrew and Hull do-
ing so in the first period. Junior Trevor Zimmerman (160) won a 1-0 decision. Maryville suffered its first loss in its fourth match of the day, losing 46-37 to Gallatin. Junior Nathaniel Alexander (126), freshman Clayton Farrell (138), Hull and Weybrew recorded pins while Twaddle won a 7-3 decision. The final match of the day saw the Spoofhounds get back on a winning track, downing host Albany 37-36 on a tiebreaker. Albany defeated Maryville on a tiebreaker the last time the two met on Jan. 14 in Maryville. Alexander and Hull claimed pins to help spark the Hounds’ victory. On the day, Hull recorded four pins and went undefeated in his five matches. Weybrew was also undefeated, claiming three pins. Gallatin won the event, while Maryville claimed its division and brought home a team trophy. Last Thursday night, the Spoof-
hounds split with Lawson and Maysville in Lawson. Against Lawson, Hull scored a pin and Weybrew won via forfeit to accounting for Maryville’s 12 points in the 62-12 loss. The Hounds rebounded against Maysville, which had seven open weight classes to claim a 42-33 victory. Trevor Zimmerman won via pin and six other wrestlers won on forfeits to account for the Spoofhounds’ points. Maryville will hit the mats again this weekend at districts in Brookfield. Wrestlers that finish in the top four of their weight class advance to state Feb. 20-22 in Columbia. The other Class 1 District 4 teams are: Albany, Brookfield, Gallatin, Hallsville, Marceline, Maysville, Penny (Hamilton), Rock Port, South Harrison, South Holt, Southwest (Livingston County), Stanberry, Tarkio and Trenton.

Chiefs cut DB, sign WR
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs parted ways with veteran defensive back Dunta Robinson, who never quite lived up to expectations last season, and signed CFL wide receiver Weston Dressler on Friday. Robinson was just one year into a $13.75 million, three-year deal that the Chiefs hoped would provide a veteran presence in what became a vastly retooled defensive backfield. Instead, Robinson was slowed by a series of nagging injuries and appeared in only nine games, making 14 tackles and defending just two passes. He was also part of a defense that was torched by Indianapolis wide receivers in a loss that knocked Kansas City out of the playoffs. The move was widely expected not only because the 31-year-old Robinson struggled most of the season, gradually losing playing time to undrafted free agent Marcus Cooper, but also because the cash-strapped Chiefs would save more than $3 million. The Chiefs were bumping along the just below the salary cap at the beginning of the week, and they’re expected to make more moves — perhaps restructuring some of the long-term contracts signed by the previous regime — so that they can sign their draft class and be active in free agency. Kansas City is expected to lose Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert, who was franchised last season, though there are several in-house candidates to replace him. Offensive linemen Jon Asamoah and Geoff Schwartz are also hitting free agency, as are defensive end Tyson Jackson, safety Kendrick Lewis and Pro Bowl punt returner Dexter McCluster. The move to sign Dressler, who spent the past six years in the CFL, could be in response to McCluster likely demanding a contract far more lucrative than the Chiefs are willing to pay. Dressler, a former North Dakota standout, caught 442 passes for 6,531 yards and 43 touchdowns for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, helping them win the Grey Cup this past season. He’s also proven that he can return kicks and punts, in essence many of the things McCluster did for the Chiefs.

Northwest senior guard DeShaun Cooper drives past a Lincoln defender in the two teams’ meeting last week in Bearcat Arena. Cooper had a career-day on Saturday, posting a career-high 35 points in the Cats’ 97-78 victory.
Cooper, Starzl hit career marks in win JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Make it 10 straight wins for the Northwest Missouri State men’s basketball team as the Bearcats defeated Lincoln 97-78 on Saturday. The Bearcats came out on fire in the first half, shooting 52-percent from the floor as they jumped out to an early lead, holding a 44-38 advantage at halftime. Senior guard DeShaun Cooper led all scorers in the first half with 15 points. Early in the second half, senior center Dillon Starzl scored his 1,000th career point three years, two months and 25 days after scoring his first bucket as a Bearcat.
“I was never really worried about it,” Starzl said on scoring his 1,000th point. “I was more concerned with winning the game. It’s a great accomplishment, I have loved my time here at Northwest, but I just need to keep contributing to the team’s success this season.” The Blue Tigers kept the game close in the beginning of the second half, trailing, at one point, by three. Northwest then turned on the offense and began to pull away. Cooper had his second 30-point performance of the season, finishing with a career-high 35 points after previously setting his career-high of 32 in a 7978 victory over Missouri Southern on
Jan. 22, when he hit the game-winning jumper with 3.3 seconds to play. Starzl finished the game with 14 points while pulling down three rebounds. Sophomore guard Conner Crooker had 11 points while junior forward Grant Cozad had 10. Senior guard Bryston Williams had 10 points with four assists and three steals. The 10-game winning streak is the longest under head coach Ben McCollum. Northwest improved to 18-5 on the season and 13-1 in the MIAA, having not lost since a Jan. 4 slip-up against Central Oklahoma in the fourth conference game of the season The Bearcats will take on the Missouri Southern Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Trojans slip by Rockets By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
There’s an old adage in sports that says it’s hard to beat a good team three times in one season, and that proved true Friday night in Graham, as Nodaway-Holt avenged two earlier losses to West Nodaway with a 56-53 victory. The win is Nodaway-Holt’s seventh in a row, and all seven single-digit victories have been decided in the fourth quarter. The Trojans came out showing something new to the Rockets, a half-court trap defense, and it worked to perfection, as Nodaway-Holt jumped out to a 13-7 first quarter lead. “The half-court trap worked pretty well in the first half,” Trojan coach Terry Petersen said. “It put them back on their heels a little bit and allowed us to build an early lead and get some confidence.” By halftime, the Nodaway-Holt lead had grown to 28-19. Seniors Nick Patterson and Brice Shamberger combined to score 21 of the Trojan’s 28 points. Equally as important, West Nodaway sharpshooter Jaden Gillenwater had yet to find the range, as the sophomore went scoreless in the first half. “We didn’t adjust to their trap very well early,” Rockets coach Roger Johnson said. “It took us out of our game in the first half.” The Rockets made the necessary adjustments at halftime and started their comeback effort in the third quarter. The Rockets cut the Trojan lead to four at 37-33 with just under two minutes to go in the third quarter, but Nodaway-Holt answered with four of the final five points of the quarter to take a 41-34 lead into the fourth quarter. After his scoreless first half, Gillenwater scored 13 of West Nodaway’s 15 points in the quarter, including
a pair of three-pointers. In the game’s final eight minutes, the Trojans did just enough to hold off the hardcharging Rockets. Nodaway-Holt left the door open for a Rocket comeback with a 4-of8 free throw shooting performance down the stretch, but the Rockets ended up three points short. Shamberger had four in the quarter, including a big three-pointer, and fellow senior Ryan Ginther scored four points as well for the Trojans, who moved to 13-7 on the season with the win. Junior Trevor Meyer scored nine points for the Rockets in the fourth quarter, as their comeback attempt came up short. The loss drops West Nodaway to 13-7 on the season. “I was proud of the way our kids fought back,” Johnson said. “We just couldn’t quite dig out of the first-half hole we dug for ourselves.” “All three of our games with them have been close,” Petersen said. “It’s nice to finally get one, but I’m sure we’ll see them again in districts and I’m sure it will be another tight game.” Patterson and Shamberger paced the Trojans with 16 points apiece, while Ginther added eight. Meyer led West Nodaway with 18 points, followed closely by Gillenwater, who finished with 17. Nodaway-Holt goes on the road this week, as they travel to St. Joseph Christian tomorrow night, followed by contests at Northeast Nodaway on Thursday and South Holt on Friday. The Rockets travel to Fairfax for a conference tilt with Craig/Fairfax tonight, then travel to Mound City to face the Panthers on Friday.
Team effort lifts Cats to 4th straight win JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Northwest Missouri State women’s basketball team operated like a well-oiled machine Saturday, as the Bearcats defeated Lincoln 65-53 for their fourth consecutive conference victory. Junior guard Ashleigh Nelson knocked home a three-pointer to start the game for the Bearcats as they jumped out to an 11-3 lead. Northwest never relinquished the lead and kept its foot on the gas pedal throughout the contest. As a team, Northwest shot 47-percent from the floor while going 6-for-11 from behind the three point line. They continued
to take advantage of free throws, hitting 83-percent from the line in the first half. The Bearcats slowed their scoring pace down in the second half, but still hit a season-high nine three-pointers in the game, as they came away with a 12-point victory. Nelson tied a career-high with six threepointers as she posted a game-high 20 points with four assists and two rebounds. Seven Bearcats scored at least four points in the contest as the team improved its record to 9-12, 6-8 on the season. Northwest will carry its four-game winning streak into Joplin at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday against Missouri Southern.

watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.” At the bridge table, do not count the minutes; instead, count the points, the winners, the losers. The more counting you do, the more successful you will be. In this deal, South charges into six hearts. How should he play after West leads the spade king? South decided that if he needed a side-suit finesse to work, it probably would, given West’s opening bid. So he adventurously used the Gerber four-club aceasking convention, then settled into six hearts. South is missing 15 highcard points. So it is just possible that East has the heart king. And if East has that king, West must hold the club king, and declarer can take all 13 tricks. However, if the heart finesse loses, West will cash a couple of spade tricks. Suppose, instead, that the club finesse is winning. How many tricks would
that provide? One spade, six hearts, two diamonds and three clubs -- ah, 12. South should win with his spade ace and play a club to dummy’s jack. Then he should lead the heart queen, tempting East to cover if he has the king. But when East plays low, declarer wins with his ace, repeats the club finesse, and discards his two spade losers, one on the club ace and one on the diamond king. Then he concedes one trick to West’s heart king.

Autograph function celebrates Title Town By TONY BROWN News editor
Spoofhound and Bearcat football fans celebrated a “Breakfast with Champions” Saturday at the Maryville Hy-Vee as players from the 2013 high school Class 3 state championship and NCAA Division II national championship squads gathered at the supermarket to greet the public and sign autographs. Bobby Bearcat was on hand, as were head coaches Adam Dorrel of Northwest and Matt Webb of MHS. In addition, both championship trophies were on display as fans moved between a couple of tables from behind which players shook hands and wielded Sharpies. Also in attendance was Hy-Vee greeter Fred Mares, wearing striped greenand-white leggings and an outrageous green wig — green being the pridecolor of both schools. For Northwest, the event, and a similar rally scheduled for Sunday in
Bearcat Arena, comprised the kick-off of a Championship Trophy Tour set for later this month, during which Bearcat players and coaches will appear at similar meet-and-greets in St. Louis, St. Joseph, Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City. At Saturday’s event, members of Northwest Student Media, which produces the university’s Tower yearbook and the Northwest Missourian newspaper, sold copies of a special edition tabloid containing news stories about the two teams’ twin undefeated seasons. The Bearcats went 15-0 in winning their fourth D-2 national championship, and the Spoofs, also 15-0 in 2013, have now failed to lose a game in two years after bringing the state banner home from St. Louis for the second season in a row. All of which gave the Northwest tabloid plenty of reason to trumpet: “Bearcats and Spoofhounds undefeated: a look back at perfection.” Webb, who came to
MHS two years ago after 15 years coaching in the college ranks, has yet to taste defeat as the Spoofhounds’ skipper. In between greeting fans Saturday he praised Maryville as a “a great community with good people, a good school system and a proud tradition.” “There is that Maryville pride when you say the word Spoofhound,” the MHS graduate said. “This is a supportive community when it comes to young people and their success.”

For his part, Dorrel said that coaching in Maryville, a town that can’t ever seem to get enough winning football, is a rewarding experience.

The fans here heighten the experience for our kids. It’s almost like they adopt them for the four years they’re here. It’s a neat deal.”
