County sues CMC over back taxes By TONY BROWN News Editor
In announcing her resignation late last year, former Nodaway County Economic Development Director Lee Langerock expressed optimism with regard to the shuttered Carbolytic Materials Company plant on the eastern edge of Maryville. “I don’t think the story of CMC is over yet,” Langerock said. “They did what no other technology company has been able to do, and I believe there is still opportunity there.” Those hopes will apparently continue to languish after Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice on Friday filed a lawsuit against CMC’s owners in which the county is seeking to collect nearly $350,000 in back taxes, fees, penalties and interest. The suit came after months of
negotiations between CMC and the county as, according to Collector/ Treasurer Marilyn Jenkins, at least two companies interested in buying the defunct scrap tire processing plant from its original owners backed away from the deal. Jenkins said Monday the suit was filed against a corporation owned by a group of St. Louis investors headed by Ray Riek, who brought CMC to town in 2008 amid much talk of good-paying jobs and economic growth. That growth was to be fueled, CMC officials trumpeted at the time, by the company’s “proprietary technology” designed to chemically “crack” shredded automotive tires in order to produce marketable gas, fuel oil and “carbon black,” a material used as a pigment and reinforcing agent in the manufacture of See COUNTY Page 6

Colden Plunge returns Feb. 21 By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Northwest Missouri State University’s Up ’til Dawn organization has announced the date and time of the 2014 Colden Pond Plunge. The event will take place at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21, at Colden Pond on the Northwest campus. The event is free to the public, and Maryville Public Safety will provide complimentary hot chocolate to those who attend. Between now and Feb. 21, the community is invited to donate on behalf
of any one of the 17 Northwest students who have been nominated to take the plunge. The five students who raise the most money during this time will jump into Colden Pond. Up ’til Dawn members are collecting donations between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Friday on the second floor of the J. W. Jones Student Union. Those who wish to donate by check should make checks payable to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. All proceeds go to as-
sisting St. Jude with operating and patient-care costs. Last year’s Colden Pond Plunge raised more than $3,000. Up ’til Dawn is part of a national philanthropy involving students at more than 200 colleges and universities who raise money for St. Jude. The hospital uses the money to advance its mission of treating children with serious illnesses. Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude is a major healthcare center for children and is funded almost ex-

clusively through private donations. The hospital is both a treatment center and a research facility, and is traditionally associated with the fight against pediatric cancer. In recent years, St. Jude scientists and physicians have expanded their focus to include genetic disorders and the development of a vaccine for pediatric AIDS.

The Northwest Missouri State University Board of Regents continued putting the pieces in place for a proposed $45 million capital campaign last week with an upward salary adjustment for one of two new professional positions being created to flesh out the school’s fundraising staff. Back in October, the board signed off on hiring a director of development with a salary range of between $77,000 and $94,000 and a development officer with a salary range of between $54,000 and $66,000. As originally proposed, the development officer would have reported to the director of development, who, in turn, would have been responsible to Vice President of University Advancement Mike Johnson. During its regular session on Friday, however, the regents approved Johnson’s recommendation to upgrade the development officer position, which will now come with the title “director of corporate and foundation relations.” The change means the job’s salary range will jump to between $68,000 and $87,000. Also, whoever is ultimately hired will report directly to Johnson. Johnson said Monday he pushed for the change due to “gaps” in the university’s fundraising operation when it comes to working with corporations and non-profit family and institutional foundations. In filling the position, Johnson said his office would seek someone with both expertise and access in the world of

Mike Johnson corporate giving, especially in Kansas City and other metropolitan areas. The new director, Johnson said, will also be expected to work with Northwest’s newly hired grant writer, Ty Parsons, both in terms of soliciting and structuring potential gifts, which could sometimes take the form of grants tied to an application process. “Growing corporate and foundation relations is an opportunity that has been identified as a high priority for the university and the campaign,” Johnson said in his report to the regents. “… We wish to more closely align the development officer position with identified corporate and foundation needs and are asking for a slight refinement to the approved position.” In creating both positions, Northwest officials are hoping to add fundraising muscle to the Advancement Office in order to bring in enough money to carry out several major projects, including imSee REGENTS Page 6

CAPITOL BRIEFS Corrections official defends prison execution protocol JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s top corrections official is standing by the state’s current protocol that keeps the name of the company that provides an execution drug a secret. Corrections Department Director George Lombardi told a House committee Monday that the secrecy is necessary to carry out executions in the state. Missouri has executed three men with injections of pentobarbital, a powerful sedative acquired from a compounding pharmacy. The state considers the pharmacy to be a member of the “execution team,” which protects its identity from public records requests filed under state law. Kansas City attorney Joseph Luby, who represents death row inmates, says the protocol prevents defendants from getting information that would be critical in appealing their sentences. Missouri’s next execution is scheduled for Feb. 26.

Spoofhounds help fight MS
The Maryville Spoofhound girls basketball team recently presented Kathy Van de Ven with a check for $1,200 that will be used in support of research and awareness in the fight against multiple sclerosis. Team members raised the money by soliciting donations based on the number of free throws each made out of 100 attempts.
Senate panel to consider school budget protection JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri Senate committee was to hear testimony this week on a proposed constitutional amendment protecting schools from budget cuts made by the governor. Missouri’s governor has the power to control the rate at which appropriations are spent and to cut spending when revenues are below the estimates on which the state budget is based. The proposed amendment would exclude spending through the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from the governor’s budget-trimming authority. The Senate Appropriations Committee planned a hearing Monday on the proposal by Republican Sen. Ryan Silvey of Kansas City. If it clears the Legislature, the proposed constitutional amendment would need approval by voters on a statewide ballot.
Missouri public defenders seeking salary increase JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The head of Missouri’s public defender system is seeking a pay raise for the attorneys who represent low-income criminal defendants. Public Defender System Director Cat Kelly says entry-level attorneys in her office are paid a salary of about $38,500. She says that’s nearly $5,000 less than beginning lawyers in the state attorney general’s office. Kelly says both should be paid the same amount. Kelly presented figures Thursday to the Senate Appropriations Committee showing that Missouri’s public defenders also typically earn less than those in all neighboring states. Gov. Jay Nixon has recommended a 3 percent pay raise for all state employees. Senate Appropriations Chairman Kurt Schaefer says he would prefer to give targeted pay raises to certain professions instead of an across-the-board increase.

Williams, whose 3-year-old daughter weighed just 12 pounds when she was taken to a Jo-
plin hospital last July 1. According to news reports, the child was unconscious, barely breathing and had a blood sugar level of zero. Williams pleaded guilty in November to felony child abuse. She’ll be sentenced Feb. 17.

Town reconsiders immigration law FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — Almost four years after a small Nebraska city tried to crack down on illegal immigration, the town is having second thoughts about requiring all renters to swear that they have legal permission to be in the United States. Today, voters in Fremont will have a chance to repeal the housing restrictions, which critics say are less effective and more costly than anyone expected.
This agricultural hub near Omaha was one of a handful of cities that have acted on their own over the last decade to curb illegal immigration. Most of those efforts have become mired in
costly court battles. The same is true in Fremont, where the regulations were adopted in 2010 but put on hold while courts reviewed the law. Supporters want city offi-
cials to stop quarreling and start enforcing rental rules. “We voted on it and told you how we felt. They are just ignoring the will of the people,” said resident Micaela Shuster.

LEGENDS OF THE FALL
With snow piled up outdoors and temperatures hovering somewhere between zero and freezing, days begin to get a bit tedious and we start to wonder if conditions will ever improve. If you put any stock in what that darned groundhog predicts, we are still in for several more weeks of notso-pleasant conditions. It will get better, however. Count on it. As the days start to get longer, they will also begin to get warmer, and before you know it, we’ll be cursing the heat and humidity again. As strange as that sounds now, it will happen. Always has. Always will. As uncomfortable as it might be, however, we need to cool our jets just a bit and give Ol’ Man Winter some credit for the good all that snow and cold weather can do for northwest Missouri in general — and that does not include the additional “snow days” the school kids (and teachers) are relishing for the present, but will not be so happy abut when traditional graduation time rolls around. Local Maryville kids have already lost their Presidents Day holiday, and some school districts across the state have extended class day schedules into June, an early disruption for vacation planners. But think of the good it is doing. Depending on the composition of any particular snow — the water-content in 10 inches of snow can vary from perhaps a quarter inch to maybe as much as four inches. Each is very different, and the differences are caused by temperatures, humidity, winds, and several other influences. Traditionally, Midwestern snow contains more moisture than that associated with the ski-slope areas of the Mountain West, providing more water replenishment potential. That makes snow removal much more of a process, but the longer-range benefits offset that disadvantage. With the torture of recent past summers, additional soil moisture is needed here. Especially needed is subsoil moisture to nourish the root systems of corn and soybean crops in the days and weeks after the water from the last rain is long gone down the river. The extreme cold can also play a large role in helping control pests that linger through less severe cold seasons. Think ahead to a summer season with fewer creepy, crawly things to worry with, and maybe you will be a little more tolerant of the current cold and snow pack. The forecast is for warmer temperatures later in the week, and still more bearable days into next week. Hang in there, neighbors. This, too, shall pass.
When I first sat down to attempt to pull this column together, I struggled with how to approach two upcoming decisions facing the Maryville City Council. Each will significantly affect the city’s growth for years into the future — when it comes to business, and to pleasure. To say that one, especially, has been percolating for quite some time would be accurate, but not exactly. Actually, both were previously up for discussion by the city council several years ago. Twenty years ago, to be exact. That’s right, back in 1994. When the Mozingo Lake Recreation Park was more accurately referred to as the Mozingo Creek Watershed Project — following the city council’s first meeting in March of ’94, to be exact — the headline in the weekly Maryville Free Press informed readers, “Main Street planning put on hold.” “Plans for the possible widening of Maryville’s ‘Miracle Mile’ were put on hold by the city council Monday night,” the story in the middle of the front page began. “The decision to shelve, at least temporarily, plans for improving South Main Street between South Avenue and the new Missouri Route V-South HIlls Drive-South Main intersection came following a discussion among council members, the city staff and potentially effected property owners …,” the report continued. “I get that the consensus of the group is to do nothing until the bypass is done,” then-Mayor Doc Heneggler is quoted saying. (“The bypass” reference is, of course, to the redirection of U.S. Highway 71 from Main Street to its current route around the city’s eastern perimeter.) And therein lies at least one root of a problem today’s city council faces. Doing nothing, back then, has, in fact, done something. It has pushed the situation forward to where we find ourselves today, with even more business along the same route that bisects the city, more cars, more congestion. The estimated cost of that ambitious project in 1994 was $379,073 “for the Cadillac plan” of three that were then under consideration. The most expensive ideas at that

estimates that can expected following the selection of a planning firm to evaluate the needs of the area and recommend one or more solutions to be eventually implemented by yetto-be-selected engineering and construction companies. Interestingly enough, the proposed method of financing in those days was to impose a $6.78-perfront-foot-per-year assessment on property owners, for 10 years. Even given what inflation has done for us in the elapsed time, our city might have been better off to have bitten the bullet and moved forward 20 years ago. There has been economic development along that particular stretch of our “lifeline,” but where could, would, it be today had we moved that far forward in 1994? Who knows? But that is water under the bridge, more appropriately vehicles down the road, so to speak. A second story on that same historical front page dealt with — you guessed it — developments at the proposed park that could come to fruition in conjunction with the con-
struction of the city’s new watersource east of town. Hmmmm. The second serious choice currently facing the city council is the selection of another planning firm, this one to develop a long-range, comprehensive plan for the present and future amenities at Mozingo. Since the park’s opening, a couple of 10-year plans have been submitted by very well-meaning citizens groups, but those focused primarily on maintenance-type objectives, not really on any big-picture kind of planning. When talk got to a serious level about the possibility of a conference center/lodge at Mozingo almost three years ago,what was the first advice from the firm doing that feasibility study? You guessed it: An overall, longterm plan for the park. The first steps in that process resulted in a rebranding of the operation and a streamlining of the management hierarchy. Is all of this beginning to sound familiar? Why didn’t we do these things 20 years ago? One answer is, of course, “money.” Each of the new “comprehensive plans” could cost upwards of $50,000, which perhaps sounds exorbitant for something as nebulous as a “long-term plan.” But shortterm solutions in the past have all made reference to the need for more detailed future plans. And, things don’t seem to be getting any cheaper. Remember the $380,000 price tag on fixing South Main 20 years ago? An educated guesstimate for the same level solution to today’s situation is somewhere in the neighborhood of $7.5 million to $10 million. Two firms seeking to develop plans for the South Main Corridor will be interviewed this week by the city. The selection process for a company to do the same type of assignment for Mozingo Lake Recreation Park has also begun to work its way through the review process. Hopefully, there have been lessons learned from the inactivity of 1994 and our current leaders have learned at least a couple of history lessons.

MU specialist to untangle local and statewide fence laws for landowners Maryville, Mo. — University of Missouri Extension specialists will discuss the state’s complicated fence laws at locations across the state. Nodaway County Extension director Randa Doty is coordinating a session scheduled for 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Nodaway County Extension Center, which is located on the third floor of the Nodaway County Administration Center. “Missouri continues to have a very complicated fence law, in large part due to the fact that two separate laws cover the state depending on the county that your land is in,” said Joe Koenen, MU Extension agricultural business specialist. “Another problem is that both laws are subject
to interpretation and can be a little different, depending on the county you’re in.” Under the state law, owners are required to build a fence only if they own livestock. If both owners have livestock, they are to meet within a “reasonable” time to build or repair the boundary fence. However, 18 counties in the state, mostly in northern Missouri, have a local option law. Under the Optional Fence and Enclosure Act, both landowners can be required to pay half the cost of a fence if one owner has a “need” for a boundary fence. Words like “reasonable” and “need” are subject to interpretation and make it important for landowners to have an understanding of the laws, according to
Koenen. Under the general law, there is no legal recourse if one landowner refuses to build his or her portion of the fence. Under the option law, the judge decides how to enforce the law.
Laws differ in many ways, including type of fencing materials and spacing. At the sessions, MU specialists will compare differences and provide information on animal trespassing and liability. Koenen has presented programs on the fence law for more than 20 years throughout the state. The program will be presented to multiple locations via live video at county extension offices. Attendees can ask questions as county specialists give informa-
tion. This program will be presented via online communication so attendees can see the presentation and also ask questions of the presenter. This communication method will allow Koenen to talk to landowners around the state without traveling to each location. There is a $10 charge for this meeting and that covers the program and materials. Pre-registration is recommended, as space is limited. Call the Nodaway County Extension Office (660) 582-8101 to register or ask questions about the event. The MU Extension publication “Missouri’s Fencing and Boundary Laws: Frequently Asked Questions” (G811) is available for free download at http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G811.

Recruiting Cattlemen
Jim McCann, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association president, accepts an award on behalf of MCA from New Holland. MCA was recognized as a top NCBA membership recruiter.
Cattlemen win New Holland equipment for NCBA recruiting NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association (MCA) earned the use of a piece of equipment from New Holland for their efforts to recruit new members to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA). MCA will get their choice of a one-year lease on a New Holland Roll-Belt™ Specialty Crop round baler or a one-year lease on a New Holland T6 175 tractor. MCA received the second-place award Thursday, Feb. 6, during the Best of Beef Breakfast at the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show in Nashville, Tenn. MCA President Jim McCann said he is honored to be among the top state affiliates in membership growth at the national level. “As MCA grows its membership in the state, many members are also recognizing the value in being affiliated with NCBA,” McCann said. Mark Hooper, director
of marketing, presented the award on behalf of New Holland. “New Holland is proud to support state and national membership efforts in cattle industry organizations,” Hooper said. “We know that it takes all of us working together to keep the cattle industry strong and viable for future generations of farmers and ranchers, and are honored to work with NCBA and its state partners on this important campaign to build a strong voice for beef producers in the United States.” The top five state affiliates for NCBA membership recruitment were Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association; Missouri Cattlemen’s Association; Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association; Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association; and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association respectively.

Change of ownership
Pictured are Gary and Tonya Hann, new owners of the Andrews Funeral Home in Grant City. Now to be known as the Andrews-Hann Funeral Home, the business has operated in Grant City, located in Worth County, since 1935. Ed and Sharon Andrews have operated the home since 1984 and recently announced that the Hanns will “begin a new generation of ministry and service.” The Hanns stated in a news release that plans are underway for renovations at the home, which is located at 416 S. Front St.
Regents upgrade Continued from Page 1 proved facilities, additional scholarships, and academic enhancements embracing faculty training and other such initiatives. Among the proposals is the renovation of a now-closed indoor swimming pool named for former university President Robert P. Foster. The pool building would be transformed into a $3 million student fitness center filled with weight machines and cardio workout gear. Johnson said the fundraising drive is currently in the “pre-campaign” stage, a period of evaluation expected to
last through the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. The pre-campaign, Johnson said, will be followed by a “quiet stage,” during which as much as 60 percent of the target amount is to be raised. Once it becomes clear that the entire $45 million can be realized, the campaign will be officially unveiled. But Johnson said that third and final “public” effort might not begin for at least three years. Once raised or pledged, campaign funds are to be divided among the effort’s three target areas — facilities, scholarships and academics — each of which will receive about $15 million.

rubber-like plastics. But the high hopes didn’t last long. Soon after the plant was completed, local merchants and suppliers were complaining that CMC didn’t pay its bills. Then, a couple of years ago, county officials joined their voices to that same chorus after the company failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes. In addition, a series of fires and a large oil spill had both local firefighters and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources looking askance at the facility and asking pointed questions about the plant’s safety procedures and environmental integrity. CMC also left Maryville Public Safety’s fire division holding the bag following a fire outside the plant in February 2012 that essentially ruined more than $15,000 worth of turnout gear, including specially fitted coats, pants, boots and gloves. Maryville fire Captain Phil Rickabaugh said the gear was impregnated with
waste oil as firefighters from both Maryville and Polk Township struggled to bring the flames under control. Rickabaugh said the fire started after workers at the plant attempted to use space heaters to thaw out a frozen pipe containing a mixture of oil and water. The heat reportedly caused the metal pipe to expand and break and the oil mixture to catch fire. Much of that gear has since been replaced, but it remained in use for several months after the fire, which Rickabaugh said forced firefighters to depend on oil-impregnated gear that had lost much of its flame resistance. The string of mishaps also included an oil spill in late February, 2011. The spill filled nearby drainage ditches with approximately 6,000 gallons of oil, some of which flowed into One Hundred and Two River. In filing the suit, Rice said he was seeking to compel CMC to pay all delinquent personal property taxes in the amount of $349,391. He is also asking the court to issue an in-
junction and temporary restraining order prohibiting the company from “moving, transferring, selling or disposing” of property and equipment currently at the site. At one time, CMC also owed Nodaway County a significant amount in real property taxes. But Jenkins said that debt has since been paid by Pulaski Bank, which holds the factory building and surrounding grounds — but not the plant’s contents — in receivership. Now that the suit has been filed, Rice said CMC’s registered agent must be personally served a copy of the petition and injunction. To that end, he said a certified copy of the petition is being sent to the St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department. After being served, CMC will have 30 days to file a response with the court. Failure to file a response, Rice said, could lead to the county requesting a default judgment. Rice said he didn’t know if the CMC principles had retained counsel in response to the lawsuit.
According to county officials, the delinquent taxes are the result of what they see as an erroneous interpretation by CMC of a tax abatement awarded to the company when it first came to town. Company executives reportedly assumed the abatement covered all property taxes, when, in fact, it was only intended to forgive around 15 cents per $100 of assessed valuation that is the only tax Nodaway County proper collects. The real bill was closer to $7 per $100 of assessed valuation and included taxes that provide revenue for Maryville R-II Schools, the County Health Center, the Nodaway County Senior Center, Polk Township and other public and non-profit entities. Those taxes were never abated, according to Jenkins, who said CMC owes property taxes for the past three years. At one time, before placing $43,000 against its tax debt on account with the county, CMC owed Maryville R-II Schools alone more than $200,000, Jenkins said.
Century Farm applications open By ANDY EMERSON MU Extension
If your farm has been in your family since Dec. 31, 1914, you can apply to have it recognized as a Missouri Century Farm. To qualify, farms must meet the following guidelines: The same family must have owned the farm for 100 consecutive years. The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including through marriage or adoption. The farm must be at least 40 acres of the original land acquisition and make a financial contribution to the overall farm income. “It is important to honor and respect our history,” said Michael Ouart, vice provost and director,
University of Missouri Extension. “These farms represent both Missouri’s cultural heritage and the good stewardship that our farmers strive for.” In 2008, the Missouri Farm Bureau joined MU Extension and the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources as a program sponsor. “Missouri Farm Bureau is a proud partner in the recognition of century farms,” said Blake Hurst, president. “We applaud the hardworking farm families that have kept us fed and clothed for generations. They represent an important part of our heritage and have laid a solid foundation for the bounty Americans enjoy every day.” Applicants certified as owners of a 2014 Missouri Century Farm will
be recognized by the MU Extension center in the county where the farm is located. Applicants are presented with a sign and a certificate. Since Missouri began the program in 1976, more than 8,000 century farms have been recognized. For applications received by May 1, a $65 fee covers the cost of a certificate, farm sign and booklet for approved applicants. If the application is received between May 1 and May 15, the cost is $75. Applications must be postmarked by May 15, 2014, to be considered. For application forms and information, call MU Extension Publications toll-free at 1-800-292-0969, contact your local MU Extension center or visit the program website at http://extension.missouri.edu/centuryfarm.

Northwest senior pitcher Ryker Fox is one of the Bearcats’ top two returning pitchers from a season ago. Fox went 5-5 with a team-best 3.98 ERA while leading the team in starts (11), wins (5), innings pitched (61) and strikeouts (47).
Cats focused on the process By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Coming off of a 22-27 season a year ago, the Northwest baseball team has high expectations as the Bearcats return their top two hitters and pitchers. “We have high expectations,” head coach Darin Loe said. “We like our group that we have and we’re excited to get going. “When you go into a season returning your three and four-hole hitters right in the middle of your lineup and your top two pitchers, you feel good about adding guys around those guys.” Loe returns senior third baseman Eric McGlauflin and senior centerfielder Ryan Abernathy and plans to plug them into the middle of a lineup that will be a mixture of youth and experience. Abernathy hit .319 and led the team in hits (58) and runs (51) while finishing sec-
ond in RBI (34) and homers (6). His 13 doubles also tied for the team lead. McGlauflin batted .301 a season ago with six home runs and 33 RBI to go along with 49 hits and 35 runs scored — all numbers that ranked in the top five for Northwest. Fox was statistically the Cats’ top pitcher last year, starting 11 contests (55) and logging 61 innings. He struck out a team-leading 47 batters and posted a 3.98 ERA. Warren started nine games (2-6) and logged 55.1 innings. Northwest went 19-24 in MIAA play last year, finishing 12th in the conference and missing out on the postseason tournament. This year, the Cats are slotted at 11th in the preseason poll, although Loe wasn’t overly worried with the preseason number. “We concentrate on the process and go out and play hard. We’ve got to be able to throw strikes, execute offensively and go out and play defense. I think everything See BEARCATS, Page 8

The Northwest softball team will open 2014 with a new look — as in 11 new players on the roster, nine freshmen and a pair of transfers. “We have such a young team,” head coach Ryan Anderson said. “We have 11 new players, so we’re excited to see what they can do. We have some good talent, we’re just so young. We really just need to get out and see what happens.” The Bearcats went 27-19 last year and finished eighth in the conference at 15-15. This season, they were projected to finish eighth in the MIAA again, but Anderson didn’t put much stock in that ranking. “You vote how last year went, not knowing what people lost, what people gained,” Anderson said. “Really, a preseason poll, what does it mean? It doesn’t mean much because you still have to show up all season.” Even with the young team, Anderson will rely on a pair of seniors to anchor the lineup, outfielder Jordan Ereth and infielder Kristen Uthe. Ereth hit .331 and was second on the team with 56 hits to go along with a teamleading 39 runs and 16 RBI. Uthe hit .310 with 40 hits, 33 RBI, five home runs and nine doubles. Junior Abbie Vitosh will be looked to to take some of the pitching weight that was left by the graduation of Jenna Creger and
Morgan Brunmeier, who have carried the load for the last three years. Vitosh was second on the team with a 9-6 record in 21 starts and also finished second to Creger in innings (118) and strikeouts (79). Transfer Sarah Baldwin will also be looked at on the mound. Fellow transfer Stephanie Mark as well as freshmen Torri Blythe, Chantel Adams and Baylee Scarbrough are also players Anderson expects to contribute. “We really wanna see good things from them and see what they can do for us,” he said. Northwest opens its season this weekend at the Arkansas-Monticello Seven-State Classic in Bentonville, Ark. Anderson said four of the six teams the Bearcats will see have been practicing outside for a couple of weeks, which is in stark contrast to the one time Northwest has gotten on its field to practice. “It’s never fun, especially having to be on the road and traveling that much,” Anderson said. “One of the other bad side effects with it is we’re going to face teams that are practicing outside. If it’s 45 degrees, it’s cold down there. I think four of the first six teams we play this coming weekend have all been outside and four of those teams have played already, so they have that initial rust off of just getting out and playing. It’s a huge detriment to us that we can’t get outside and practice. There’s no substitute for dirt.”
Bearcats start season in south Continued from Page 7 else takes care of itself in the end,” Loe said. “I would say, we’re more concerned about the number at the end of the season. Those rankings come off of last year’s information, so I think time will tell, but we’re concentrating what that number is in May and not in February.” Northwest was scheduled to open its season on Saturday, but the two-day series against Northwestern Oklahoma was postponed until Monday. The games were made up at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas,

but results were unavailable as of press time. “The biggest thing is you want to start hot and get going and the only way to do it is to get on the field and play,” Loe said. “It’s an opportunity to get outside. A lot of schools aren’t able to open up this weekend or even next weekend and we feel like at this point, we’ll get six of our seven scheduled games in down there before we go into conference play, which I think is critical.” The Cats will take on Cameron University in a two-day series Feb. 14-15 in Lawton, Okla.

Entertainment After 22 years, Jay Leno gave ‘Tonight’ his final farewell By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer
COURTESY OF WARNER BROS. PICTURES
(L-r) LEGO® minifigures Emmet (voiced by CHRIS PRATT), Wyldstyle (ELIZABETH BANKS) and Batman (WILL ARNETT) in the 3D computer animated adventure “The LEGO® Movie,” from Warner Bros. Pictures, Village Roadshow Pictures and Lego System A/S. A Warner Bros. Pictures release.
‘Everything is awesome,’ just like ‘The Lego® Movie’ The Lego® Movie By Gary Darling Staff Writer
We saw the preview for “The Lego® Movie” a few months ago. Ever since then, my kids have bothered me, almost weekly, with the same question ... is “The Lego® Movie” coming out this week, Daddy? So excitement, in the Darling house, was at an all-time high. For me, I just wanted the questions to stop. Oh the humanity. We were actually supposed to all go see it last Saturday at a Press Screening in Kansas City. Unfortunately, winter had other plans for us as we were forced to cancel. Finally, though, we got our chance to see this highly anticipated movie. Well, highly anticipated by my
kids, I should say. Don’t get me wrong because I wanted to see it, I just have my eyes set a little further down the 2014 movie release schedule for movies I am waiting on. Although, I must admit, I was a little giddy to see Legos® come to life on screen. And in the end, we are all satisfied. “The Lego® Movie” follows the exploits of a ordinary construction worker named Emmet (Chris Pratt). There is nothing special about this character He is forever left out of social events and is a bit lonely. Then, one day at the construction site, he sees a woman, Wildstyle (Elizabeth Banks) going through the area, searching for something. When Emmet goes to investigate what she is up to, he falls into a hole and finds what Wildstyle has been looking for, the Piece of Resistance.
Compelled to touch it, Emmet experiences vivid visions and passes out. When he wakes up, his place in this world will be forever changed. Now, as far as animated films go, this was one of the better animated films I have seen in awhile. The animation was crisp and concise, the story was well thought out, and there was a nice little surprise near the end of the movie that caught me off guard. All of this contributed to making this film a very enjoyable moviegoing experience for me and the family. My one complaint is that the film got a little long at one point, so it got a little boring. Other than that, I found “The Lego® Movie” to be well done and worth the time to venture out in the cold weather to enjoy. Grab the kids and head out to the Hangar. You will be glad you did.
NEW YORK (AP) — Make way for Jimmy Fallon. “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno ended a stellar if sometimes stormy run Thursday night with high emotion at concluding what he termed “the greatest 22 years of my life.” Calling himself “the luckiest guy in the world,” Leno went out on top, which was where he stayed for most of his stretch as the successor to “King of Late Night” Johnny Carson. His exit, not entirely by choice, now clears the deck for yet another chapter of the 60-year-old talk show, with Fallon taking over as “Tonight” moves back to New York from its longtime Los Angeles home on Feb. 17. “You’re very kind,” Leno told his audience at the start of his last monologue. “I don’t like goodbyes. NBC does. I don’t care for them.” He had said goodbye to “The Tonight Show” before. His first departure came in 2009, when he was briefly replaced by Conan O’Brien but reclaimed the show after a messy transition and O’Brien’s lackluster ratings. In ‘09, he was moving to a prime-time show on NBC; this time he’s out the door, and has said he’ll focus on comedy clubs and his beloved car collection. “I don’t need to get fired three times,” he cracked. “I get the hint.” Looking sharp in a black suit and bright blue tie, Leno was greeted by a standing ovation from the VIP audience. The typically self-contained comic betrayed a bit of nervousness, stumbling over a few lines in his monologue as he looked back comically. “When I started hosting, Justin Bieber wasn’t even born yet,” Leno marveled. “That’s why we called those ‘the good old days.’” The worst part of leaving NBC’s employ, he joked: “Now I’ll have to sign up for Obamacare.” But later Leno was serious, even choking up, when he shared that he’d lost his mother the first year he became “Tonight” host, his dad the second and then his brother. “And after that I was pretty much out of family. And the folks here became my family,” he said of the crew and staff of “Tonight.” The tender moments had a heightened effect on a show that was mostly aiming for laughs, with traditional monologue jokes, clips from old shows and a wild assortment of celebrities helping him close the book. Leno brought his show full circle with Billy Crystal, who was his first guest in May 1992 and his last guest Thursday. Crystal played ringmaster at one point, calling on Oprah Winfrey, Jack Black, Kim Kardashian, Carol Burnett and others for a musical tribute to Jay with a “Sound of Music” song parody. Leno, 63, has said he plans to continue playing comedy clubs, indulging his passion for cars and doing such TV work as comes his way — other than hosting on late-night. “I’m real excited for Jimmy Fallon,” Leno told his audience. “It’s kind of fun to be the old guy and sit back here and see where the next generation takes this great institution.”
Allen defends self against Farrow’s abuse claims

Director Woody Allen, Cate Blanchett and Alden Ehrenreich on the set of “Blue Jasmine.”
By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a nearly 2,000-word open letter punctuated with rhetorical questions and decades-old anecdotes, notoriously media-shy Woody Allen again defended himself against renewed claims that he molested adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow 21 years ago. Allen’s response was published online Friday night by The New York Times, nearly a week after the same publication released an open letter from Dylan Farrow in
which she claimed that in 1992 at the family’s Connecticut home, Allen led her to a “dim, closetlike attic” and “then he sexually assaulted me.” Dylan Farrow didn’t specify Allen’s actions, but described other abusive behavior. “Of course, I did not molest Dylan,” Allen wrote. “I loved her and hope one day she will grasp how she has been cheated out of having a loving father and exploited by a mother more interested in her own festering anger than her daughter’s well-being.” Allen was investigated for the alleged molestation, but was never
charged. A team of child abuse specialists from the Yale-New Haven Hospital, brought in to the case by prosecutors and police, concluded that Dylan Farrow had not been molested. “Now it’s 21 years later and Dylan has come forward with the accusations that the Yale experts investigated and found false,” Allen said. The 78-year-old director of such films as “Annie Hall,” ‘’Bullets Over Broadway” and “Midnight in Paris” spent the majority of his letter lashing out against ex-partner Mia Farrow, calling her vindictive, spiteful and malevolent. He said he believes Mia Farrow concocted the details recounted by Dylan Farrow, and they were inspired by the song “With My Daddy in the Attic.” “Does the letter really benefit Dylan or does it simply advance her mother’s shabby agenda?” Allen said. “That is to hurt me with a smear. There is even a lame attempt to do professional damage by trying to involve movie stars, which smells a lot more like Mia than Dylan.” At the time of the breakup of their 12-year relationship more than two decades ago, Mia Farrow first accused Allen of molesting Dylan Farrow. Allen has consistently denied the abuse allegation. Their split followed the dis-
covery of an affair between Allen and an adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, Soon-Yi Previn, when Previn was 19 or 21. (Her official date of birth is uncertain.) Allen and Previn married in 1997 and have two adopted daughters. “I still loved (Dylan) deeply, and felt guilty that by falling in love with Soon-Yi I had put her in the position of being used as a pawn for revenge,” Allen said. In a statement made to The Hollywood Reporter late Friday, Dylan Farrow called Allen’s op-ed “the latest rehash of the same legalese, distortions, and outright lies he has leveled at me for the past 20 years.” She wrote that Mia Farrow was not the one who brought criminal charges — “in fact, it was a pediatrician who reported the incident to the police based on my firsthand account.” She also stated that the prosecutor found probable cause to prosecute Allen, but decided against it to protect what they called “the child victim.” The controversy comes amid accolades for Allen and his latest film. Allen received a lifetime achievement award at last month’s Golden Globes ceremony, and he’s up for the best original screenplay trophy at next month’s Academy Awards for “Blue Jasmine,” which also received acting nominations for Cate Blanchett and Sally
Hawkins. In his letter, Allen recounts several anecdotes to call Mia Farrow’s integrity into question. He also addressed the claim by Mia Farrow that her ex-husband Frank Sinatra could be the father of son Ronan Farrow, not Allen. “Even if he is not Frank’s, the possibility she raises that he could be, indicates she was secretly intimate with him during our years,” said Allen. “Not to mention all the money I paid for child support. Was I supporting Frank’s son? Again, I want to call attention to the integrity and honesty of a person who conducts her life like that.” The 28-year-old Dylan Farrow, now married, currently lives in Florida under another name. Her letter caused an uproar, reawakening a case more than two decades after it made headlines. Some have challenged Dylan Farrow’s account, most notably her 36-yearold brother, Moses Farrow. He told People magazine this week that “of course” Allen didn’t molest Dylan Farrow, which she called “a betrayal.” Allen said his open letter “will be my final word on this entire matter and no one will be responding on my behalf to any further comments on it by any party.” He ended the letter by saying, “Enough people have been hurt.”

To count on defense, count on partners
Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.
This week, we are looking at counting -- arguably the most important factor for success at the game. And when you are on defense, you will sometimes
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Lighten up and have some fun. Organize an entertainment with old friends. They will welcome the chance to share in your sparkling wit and excellent memory. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be wary of people trying to coerce you into something you don’t agree with. Stand your ground, even if it means walking away from someone you thought was your friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t be afraid to seek advice from people who can provide you with valuable information. Your intuition and memory are both highlighted today, putting you in a good position to negotiate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Watch your expenses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Your heightened emotions may get out of control today. Keep your expectations realistic. Don’t cause unnecessary problems by forging ahead without considering alternatives. Think twice before taking action.
need partner to give you a count signal so that you can work out how many cards declarer has in the suit -- as in this deal. In three no-trump, declarer starts with only five top tricks: three spades and two diamonds. He needs to get the rounded suits going. So, after taking the first trick with his spade king, he leads the club king. East wants to take his club ace when South is playing his last club. So West must give a count signal. Since West has an even number of clubs, he should go high-low, playing first the five (or eight, but I like second-highest from four), then the two. This will tell East to take the second club trick. (If West has only two clubs, South has four and holding up twice would not help.) East leads back his second spade to declarer’s ace. South, needing to get into the dummy, leads the heart king. West plays his nine, starting a high-low
with a doubleton. East, aware of what is happening, holds up his ace. South will probably try a low heart to dummy’s queen, but East wins with his ace and shifts to the diamond jack (or leads back the heart 10), and the contract is dead. Finally, note that at trick one, East should play his spade three, a discouraging signal denying help in spades. But a defender does not signal attitude when declarer leads a suit (except perhaps to play the top of touching honors).

Cub Scouts compete in Pinewood Derby By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Cub Scouts from Maryville’s Pack 75 gathered at Maryville Middle School Saturday for their annual Pinewood Derby. About 50 blue-shirted Cub Scouts took part in the event, ranging in age from first to fifth grade.
A Cub Scouting tradition since the early 1950s, the Pinewood Derby is a race featuring small model cars carved by hand out of a block of wood and rolled down a ramp. Divisions in Saturday’s competition included Tiger Scouts (first-graders), Wolf Scouts (second graders), Bear Scouts (third graders) and Webelo Scouts
(fourth- and fifth-graders). Each division awarded first-, second- and third-place trophies. Trophies were also awarded for People’s Choice and Best Design categories. “All of the leaders for each of the dens helped judge for Best Design,” said Den Leader Eric Couts. “Everyone in attendance got to pick the People’s Choice.”
“Some of the (cars considered) were for the most original ideas,” Couts said. “Some were chosen because you could tell the kids put a lot of work into it themselves. I can’t tell you there was a real logic behind it, we just picked out of the ones that looked neat.” First place winners were Tiger Scout Rylan Brady, Wolf Scout
Braden Wallace, Bear Scout Maven Vette and Webelo Scout Owen Walker. Tucker Wilmes won People’s Choice, and Andrew Willoughby won Best Design. First, second and third place winners in each division will advance to district competition at Maryville High School on April 5.
