City delays action on alcohol ordinances By TONY BROWN
of what city officials have called a “comprehensive” liquor consumption policy geared toward cutting down on alcohol-related offenses, binge drinking and “nuisance parties.” A fourth ordinance, raising the bar-entry age minimum in Maryville from 19 to the legal drinking age of 21, was passed by the council two weeks ago and goes into effect July 1. Jasinski told the council he supports the city’s efforts to promote responsible drinking. But he added that significant conceptions, or misconceptions, exist among students with regard to the possibility of overly tough enforcement of the proposed new rules by police. “I think we’re all aligned on the what,” said Jasinski, referring to the shared goal of convincing more young people to drink responsibly. “Where we are not aligned is on the how and the when, especially the when.” Jasinski said more time is needed for city officials to meet with student leaders so

More deliberation needed
Northwest Missouri State University President John Jasinski addresses the Maryville City Council on Monday — in front of a couple of video cameras — urging the governing board to delay voting on two alcohol consumption ordinances pending further discussion with student leaders.
A plea from Northwest Missouri State University President John Jasinski at Monday’s City Council meeting derailed, at least temporarily, passage of a couple of ordinances that would have significantly changed the way local residents, including college students, are allowed to consume alcohol both in public and at social gatherings held on private property. Jasinski’s remarks were followed by responses from several council members, all five of whom voted to table both ordinances pending further discussion with university students and other “stakeholders.” A third ordinance, setting forth ground rules for increased cooperation between Maryville Public Safety and the Northwest Missouri State University University Police Department, especially in neighborhoods adjoining the university, passed unanimously. Together, the three ordinances make up the core

Winter of 2014 may stake claim to Top 10 coldest By DEBBIE JOHNSON MU Extension
Missouri saw an unusually windy January, frozen soil with a deep frost line and temperatures that may make this winter among the top 10 coldest on record. “The preliminary data for Missouri are indicating a January that ran nearly 5 degrees below normal,” said Pat Guinan, climatologist for University of Missouri Extension’s Commercial Agriculture Program. “We tied January of 2010.” Those low temperatures combined with blustery winds to create stinging wind chills for January. “It was the windiest start to the year in a generation,” Guinan said. “Using Columbia as Missouri’s midpoint, the monthly average wind speed from the
regional airport was 12.6 mph and ranked the windiest January since 1985.” That cold has also settled deep into the soil. “Cold temperatures, lack of extended snow cover and dry soils this winter, especially across northern and central Missouri, allowed the frost line to go unusually deep,” Guinan said. “The frost line in northern Missouri may go down a foot or more into the soil.” It’s not just cold; the air has been extremely dry. “Cold air typically has very little atmospheric moisture. This January it was unusually low,” Guinan said. “When I talk about moisture content of the atmosphere, I’m talking about humidity or dew point.” According to Guinan, January 2014 had the lowest average See WINTER 2014, Page 6

Crews battle extreme cold It’s been a rough winter for everyone, but few have had it tougher over the past weeks of bitter cold than the Maryville Public Works Department, members of which have been working day and night to repair frozen water meters and broken underground lines. Public Works Director C.E. Goodall said this week city crews have been on the job around the clock for the past month while responding to 77 frozen meters and 10 water main breaks. Goodall said that 62 man-hours had been dedicated to leak repairs alone. Goodall offered praise for his employees, who have spent most of those hours doing wet, dirty work under bone-chilling conditions. “Our crews continue to battle the weather and are performing exceptionally to ensure service is provided without extended interruptions,” Goodall said.
STATE/NATIONAL Wage backers want vote JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Supporters of a higher wages are urging Missouri lawmakers to let voters decide whether to increase the state’s minimum wage to $10 an hour. Missouri’s minimum wage currently is $7.50 an hour — 25 cents higher than the federal minimum wage. Several low-income workers testified Tuesday before a Missouri Senate committee in support of a proposed ballot measure increasing the minimum wage. The workers said they often must skip meals because they don’t earn enough to pay all the bills for food, housing, utilities and transportation. A Webster University economist said a minimum wage increase would help the economy, because workers likely would spend the additional money. Lobbyists for several business groups testified against the measure, citing concerns that it could squeeze lowskill workers out of jobs.
Legislation targets drugs JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri House members have given first-round approval to legislation taking aim at synthetic drugs. The bill would add several specific substances to what is considered synthetic marijuana. It was endorsed by a voice vote Tuesday and needs a second vote before moving to the Senate. In recent years, Missouri has tried to keep pace with evolving synthetic drugs and twice has approved legislation targeting them. Sponsoring House member Shawn Rhoads says the current bill is needed to stay ahead in the effort. Lawmakers in 2010 barred spice cannabinoids sold as incense known as K2. A year later, the definition of marijuana in state drug laws was expanded to cover synthetics. The 2011 measure also barred substances marketed as incense or “bath salts” that mimic the effects of cocaine and marijuana.
Sam cited in call for bill JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri senator is calling on the Legislature to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation in light of a former University of Missouri football player’s decision to publicly come out as gay. Michael Sam told news outlets Sunday he hopes to become the first openly gay player in the NFL. State Sen. Scott Sifton, a St. Louis Democrat, said Monday that lawmakers should use Sam’s announcement as a rallying cry to pass anti-discrimination legislation. Missouri law now bars discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex and disability. This year’s bill would add sexual orientation to that list. Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon has also asked lawmakers to pass the bill, but his call received a tepid response from the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Snow notes help patients MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) — Huge messages left in the snow on the frozen Mississippi River are giving patients at St. Cloud Hospital a lift. At ground level, the patted-down snow doesn’t look like much. But from the hospital windows above, the messages are quite clear. The latest are the words “love” and “believe,” along with a peace symbol. Each time there’s fresh snow, there’s a new message. Nurse Mary Habiger has seen a man and woman in snow shoes stamping out the messages. She says the mystery man and woman seem well organized and plan their messages in advance.

NHS inducts 28 new members By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Maryville High School math teacher Tricia Knowles welcomed 28 new members into the local National Honor Society chapter Monday evening during a candlelight ceremony. NHS officers greeted an audience of family and friends of the inductees, leading the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. The ceremony itself focused on the four characteristics NHS members strive to attain: scholarship, service, leadership and character. Candidates for membership also listened to an address by Knowles, who serves as NHS advisor. “It’s not about just having those characteristics,” Knowles said. “But that they consistently show them. When it comes to NHS season (the nominating period for membership), they can’t just say ‘Oh, look! I’m a great person,’ then go back to being their normal selves. It’s the consistency of their behavior, academics and leadership over time.” In order to be inducted, students are required to have a 3.5 grade-point average and must be in either their junior or senior year. They must also display the characteristics described above. “Academics is why we’re here, and it’s our most important mission and goal,” MHS Assistant Principal Thom Alvarez said. “We need to honor and recognize our students for their academic achievement far more than we do. “Our sole purpose as a high school is to educate our children. So that is why it’s

Wesley Center to host prayer workshop By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
The Wesley Center, 549 West Fourth in Maryville, will host a Centering Prayer workshop from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15. The workshop is free. Lunch will be provided. Those wishing to register for the workshop should call the St. Gregory Barbarigo Parish office at (660) 5823833 and ask for Michele Moon, workshop coordinator.
“This type of prayer is very appropriate for Lent,” Moon said, “because it’s a very quiet, reflective type of prayer. In our fast-paced world, people have to be trained to turn off all of the outside noise of life and take time to embrace stillness and quiet through reflective prayer. “The workshop will teach participants how to effectively eliminate this outside noise created by our busy lives, and allow the mind the quiet necessary for meaningful reflection and prayer.”
The Rev. Rob Carr, pastor of Kansas City’s North Oak Christian Church will be the workshop presenter. Rev. Carr is a trained facilitator for Contemplative Outreach of Kansas City and has been practicing Centering Prayer for 18 years. The workshop format will include presentations, discussions and opportunities to practice Centering Prayer. For more information about Centering Prayer or Contemplative Outreach, go to www.contemplativeoutreach.org.
Remains identified in Maitland fire MAITLAND, Mo. (AP) — Authorities have identified remains found in a northwest Missouri opera house as those of the property owner, Kenneth Rainwater. The body was found three days after fire destroyed the
Maitland Opera House in Holt County last August. Holt County Sheriff Scott Wedlock says DNA testing confirmed late Friday that the remains were those of the 66-year-old Rainwater. Rainwater was charged
last May with three counts of possession of child pornography. He went missing shortly after being released on bond. Two notes found in Rainwater’s vehicle at the fire discussed his military ex-
plosive experience and said he intended to leave the country because he couldn’t get a fair trial. Wedlock says the cause of Rainwater’s death, and the cause of the fire, were not determined.

ALTERNATIVE VIEWS
Sam is All-America more ways than one
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Michael Sam is an All-American in more ways than one. As an athlete, a team player and an NFL prospect from a hardscrabble background, Mr. Sam is impressive. As a college student, an AfricanAmerican campus leader and a young man with a future, Mr. Sam is respected. And now that the adjective gay will forever precede his name, and is there by his own choice, Mr. Sam has shown the courage and honesty that will put him in many personal halls of fame, no matter the direction of his athletic future. That he had the guts to come out to his teammates months ago, to campus friends years ago, and to the world on Sunday, shows the core of Mr. Sam. These are the qualities that make a person an All-American in life, and not just on the playing field. That he did this before April’s NFL draft, where he is predicted to be a mid-round selection, took an added dollop of gumption. Mr. Sam, a defensive lineman for the Tigers and Mizzou’s first unanimous All-American in 50 years, told the media that he wanted to focus on playing football and graduating and didn’t want his sexuality to be a distraction. “I want to own my own truth,” is the way Mr. Sam put it. And now he does. No more hiding in the shadows, pretending to be something he isn’t. Mr. Sam, 24, is out, loud and proud. Good for him. And good for his teammates, Coach Gary Pinkel and his staff, and athletic director Mike Alden. They have given a textbook demonstration on how to handle what shouldn’t be — but still is — a delicate issue of a personal nature on a very public stage. Other athletes courageously have come out about their sexuality, but usually in the twilight of their careers, or even in retirement. Mr. Sam’s pro career is just dawning. It’s great that the NFL says it has his back. Greg Aiello, NFL senior vice president of communications, said in a statement: “We look forward to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014.” Society is changing, as well as the culture of professional sports. Marriage used to mean one thing, and now it means more things. The idea of what a family is used to be narrowly defined, but now people accept that it can mean bonds of friendship as well as blood. And changing, too, thanks in part to Mr. Sam, is the definition of a football player and a teammate. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been working on heightening awareness in the league about sexual orientation and harassment. He sent a policy statement to coaches, team presidents and general managers last year saying anyone involved in drafting players or making personnel decisions “must not seek information” about their sexuality. No one will have to wonder about Mr. Sam. He put it out there. Now it’s up to a team to draft him and let him play the game. No questions asked.

A MINUTE WITH MIKE
Legislature’s budget planning does not agree with governor’s
I have written previously about the importance of a balanced budget and the controversy that was created this year when the governor and the Legislature could not agree on a consensus revenue estimate. The difference is hundreds of millions of dollars and the political posturing and debate will continue until the end of April. This week, the House Budget chairman filed the appropriation bills that will make up the Fiscal Year 2015 operating budget. While in most years the budget committee would use the governor’s proposed budget as a starting point for the state’s spending plan, this year’s budget will use last year’s numbers as a starting baseline. The reason, of course, is that the spending plan proposed by the governor is based on numbers that the House and Senate budget leaders feel are unrealistic. As we work through last year’s budget bills, I am sure that the funding levels of many vital state services will see significant increases, but it is clear that the Legislature is not willing to expand the budget more than we can afford. Another conflict that is festering between the Legislature and the governor is how the governor has withheld funds that were appropriated the preceding year. The governor has proposed a budget that increases our total budget by almost $3 billion for fiscal year 2015, but has still not released some of the funds that he withheld last summer. While the state Constitution clearly spells out that the gov-
ernor may withhold funds only during a budget shortfall, many have pointed to the fact the governor has withheld money even when the state has funds available. Last week, the House General Laws Committee approved a proposed Constitutional amendment to provide the Legislature with an effective check and balance to the governor’s budget authority. In effect it would allow the legislature to override a decision made by the
Mike Thomson governor to withhold funding in the same way the Legislature can override a governor’s veto. This would be a change supporters say is necessary to curb the governor’s abuse of his budget authority and to restore balance to the branches of government. They say this proposal is a fair compromise that allows the governor to have flexibility
in making spending decisions but also provides the Legislature with effective oversight to ensure the governor does not have unchecked power. Opponents of the measure say the current budget process has worked well and that making a change to the Constitution could have unintended consequences. This is an issue that will receive a great deal of discussion going forward. If it makes it through both the House and Senate, it would end up on the November ballot where voters would decide if this is a good change for Missouri. On another note, those Missourians who rely on propane for their heat are starting to see the prices gradually ease back down. Propane prices have fallen from $5 or $6 a gallon to a more manageable $3 a gallon and the governor has announced that he will make $15 million available to help offset the higher-than-normal price of propane for lower income families. This money will be available through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program where residents will be allowed to receive double the amount normally available for propane assistance. We will continue to investigate the cause of the tremendous spike in propane fuel costs.

The Winter Olympics in Sochi are now underway. There have been numerous reports about just how ill-prepared the region was to accommodate the spectators and athletes at the games. Hotels where the water is unclean and rooms lack doorknobs seem to be commonplace, and many manhole covers hadn’t even been set in place before crowds began arriving. It’s amazing to think that, with as much lead time as Russia had to prepare, people were spending the final minutes before show time screwing in light bulbs. But then again, we’ve seen that story here in the United States with Obamacare. A three-year head start wasn’t enough for the architects of this monstrosity to tighten the faucets and get
Sam Graves the paint job right. And now we’re continuing to see the results of this poor planning. One report found that less than
two million Americans signed up for Medicaid in the last three months of 2013 — many of whom “would have normally enrolled” even without Obamacare. Additionally, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that, despite the president’s rosy projections, the law will cost the economy 2.5 million workers over the next 10 years. Liberals have spun this statistic, saying it means more parents will be able to tuck their children in bed at night. But what good is that if they don’t have an income to support their family? While the Olympics will be over in a matter of days, the failure of Obamacare will continue to hurt our economy for years to come. I’m working to stop it before even more damage is done.

essert is an indulgence, and when you delight in the taste, texture and aroma of a decadent sweet treat, you savor every bite. It is easy to get lost in the flavor and fragrance of rich chocolate or creamy caramel. But what happens when chocolate or caramel are paired with different flavors, like salty, sour or savory? Spurred by curiosity, the food scientists in the Wilton Test Kitchen dug deeper into unusual flavor pairings to enhance the taste experience. While the terms “taste” and “flavor” are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two. The taste of a food is what the taste buds perceive, while the flavor of a food is the combination of these tastes, plus the aroma and the other sensations. Treatology™ is the science of blending different flavors and tastes to create dishes that are an experience all on their own.

HY-VEE NUTRITIONIST
“Can”tastic Reasons to Choose Canned Fruits and Vegetables! Back in the 18th century, canning began its evolution when Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte issued a challenge for someone to come up with a safe way to preserve food in quantity to feed his troops. Hundreds of years later, canned food is a part of everyday life. In the canning process, food is sealed into an airtight, cleaned and sterilized container using heat to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that cause food to spoil. Over the years, the processing conditions have been dramatically refined so the best texture, greatest flavor and maximum nutrition are retained in canned foods. Myths about canned foods are abundant. Here is some “food for thought” to help reveal the truths: Myth # 1: Canned food is high in sodium. Fact: No sodium (or other preservative) is needed to make canned food safe. Salt is added simply to enhance the taste of a particular food. In fact, “no sodium” and “low sodium” options are readily available for many products. Draining and rinsing canned food before use reduces sodium levels 23-40% according to a study in the Journal of
the American Dietetic Association. Myth # 2: All canned fruit is high in sugar. Fact: Besides those fruits canned with heavy and light syrups made with added sugar, many canned fruits are available packed in their own juice or water. Just as with rinsing added sodium from vegetables, rinsing fruit before serving can reduce the amount of added sugar. Myth # 3: Fresh food is best. Fact: In a University of California-Davis study, researchers found when a food is eaten, regardless of being fresh, (frozen) or canned, the nutrient levels are not significantly different. Researchers at Michigan State University found a nutritional advantage in certain foods for canned vs. fresh fruits and vegetables. From olives to tuna and pureed pumpkin to evaporated milk, canning is a healthy way to decrease food waste, increase convenience of perishable foods and save money. Canning also increases the variety of nutritional fruits and vegetables available to consumers in the Midwest where food is not grown yearround. Remember - if a can is leaking,
bulging, dented, cracked, discolored or smells bad, DON’T USE IT! Take advantage of specials and stock up on “cantastic” canned foods for great taste, economy, variety, convenience and nutritional benefit. Try this great-tasting recipe using canned fruits to see for yourself how delicious, nutritious and easy it is to take advantage of canned fruits. Unlike fresh fruits, these canned fruits are ready to use! Apricots and Cherries with Ricotta and Thyme All you need: 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or sea salt) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons balsamic glacé (thicker than vinegar) 2 (28 oz. each) cans pitted apricot halves in light syrup, drained 1 (15 oz.) can tart red cherries, pitted, drained 4 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme 3/4 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese 1/3 cup goat cheese crumbles 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme All You Do: 1. Preheat broiler to high.
Move rack to second position from the heat element. 2. Mix together salt, olive oil and balsamic glacé in small bowl. 3. Place drained fruit in 8.5-by-11-inch jelly roll or other pan lightly coated with pan spray - apricots first, and then cherries scattered evenly throughout the pan. 4. Drizzle olive oil mixture evenly over the fruit. Lay thyme sprigs on top of the fruit. 5. Broil fruit mixture (not too close to flame; adjust shelf position if needed) until tender, juicy and slightly gooey. The edges may brown or even begin to blacken as sugars caramelize (approximately 15 minutes). 6. Remove from oven; tuck spoonsful of ricotta around the cooked fruit. Sprinkle with goat cheese. 7. Return pan to broiler until cheese is slightly brown and melted. 8. Remove pan from broiler; carefully remove charred thyme sprigs if desired. Sprinkle broiled fruit with chopped fresh parsley and thyme. 9. Serve immediately on pieces of grilled whole grain bread, whole wheat pita wedges, water
Deanna Bottorff crackers or other plain cracker of choice. This dish pairs nicely with a green salad and grilled chicken or fish.

Winter is one of coldest Continued from Page 1 dew point since 1979. “Folks without humidifiers may have experienced more instances of dry eyes, dry skin and awakening with a sore throat,” Guinan said. Looking at the meteorological winter, which is Dec. 1 through the end of February, this winter could be one
of the coldest in decades. So far this year, average winter temperatures are running lower than the winter of 2009-’10, Guinan said. “If we end up colder than that winter, then we have to go all the way back to 1981’82 for a colder winter, and that one ranked as the ninth coldest winter on record for Missouri.”
It will be interesting to see when February comes to an end whether we’ll crack the top 10 coldest winters. I think this winter will be memorable for a lot of Missourians, and one that we’d like to forget.” For more weather information, visit the Missouri Climate Center website at www.climate.missouri.edu.

City tables alcohol votes that everyone can “understand the true intent” of the ordinances. He then asked the council for “a pause, a time out, and a slow-down” before proceeding. He said delaying passage of the ordinances, which would have gone into effect July 1, will give both Public Safety and university administrators time to educate the campus community on how the measures would be enforced. Jasinski asked that “at least one representative from the council” meet with student leaders in an effort to have “a good two-way dialogue.” He also said the point of that dialogue should be “education and clarification,” especially with regard to enforcement. “There are just some question marks out there,” Jasinski said. Essentially the ordinances, which had been scheduled for a vote at Monday’s meeting, would have done two things: prohibited the consumption of alcohol on streets, sidewalks and other public rights-of-way without a permit, and created 12 “triggering behaviors” that would allow police to break up “nuisance parties.” Most of those behaviors are already illegal. Councilman Glenn Jona-
gan, who has voiced support for both measures, said he was not opposed to a delay. “Let’s have a little education on campus and then vote on (the ordinances) up or down,” he said. Councilman Jeff Funston, another supporter, agreed that more discussion is needed, and said after the meeting that he had received several constituent calls expressing concern that the proposed rules give police too much leeway with regard to taking enforcement actions on private property. “We want to avoid bad outcomes, and I have some questions,” said Funston, who added that the ordinances appeared to hand “broad-range power to police that could be abused, though I’m not saying it would be.” Funston said his chief concern was not the ordinances themselves, but their possible interpretation by law enforcement. “I just want to know what the policy would be,” said Funston, who called for discussions with both Maryville Public Safety Director Keith Wood and Campus Police Chief Clarence Green. “We need to have policies in place rather than John Wayne and here we go,” Funston said Wood, looking on from

the gallery, responded that debate on the nuisance party proposal had tended to “emphasize the word party rather than the word nuisance.” He repeated, as he has several times in the past, that the measure is complaint driven and focused on dispersal rather than prosecution. “The idea is to address the party before it gets big enough that it becomes a bigger problem,” Wood said. Jonagan concurred. “It’s more similarities (of opinion between the city and the university) than differences that we’re talking about,” he said. “The idea that we’re promoting prohibition or something like that, it’s not that at all. I’m campaigning for safety.” Councilwoman Renee Riedel, who opposed the bar age-limit change and who has criticized the council’s move toward stricter alcohol rules as piecemeal rather than “comprehensive,” said she welcomed the delay and the opportunity for more deliberation. “This is the comprehensive piece that we were looking to do,” she said, arguing that questions about policy and enforcement should be fully worked out before the ordinances come up for a vote. “We need to wait until all the pieces are in place,” Riedel said.

An unusually large crowd made up mostly of Northwest Missouri State University students, some of whom were attending as part of a class assignment, attended Monday’s Maryville City Council meeting, during which the council continued debate on proposals that would change the way the city regulates the consumption of alcohol in public spaces and, in some instances, on private property.
Shirley Temple dead at 85 Any kid who ever tapdanced at a talent show or put on a curly wig and auditioned for “Annie” can only dream of being as beloved as Shirley Temple. Temple, who died Monday night at 85, sang, danced, sobbed and grinned her way into the hearts of dispirited Depression-era moviegoers and
remains the ultimate child star decades later. Dimpled, precocious and oh-so-adorable, she was America’s top box office draw during Hollywood’s golden age. Temple remains such a symbol of innocence that kids still know the drink named for her: a sweet, nonalcoholic cocktail of
ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry. Movies include “Bright Eyes” (1934), “Curly Top” (1935), “Dimples” (1936), “Poor Little Rich Girl” (1936) and “Heidi” (1937) and featured sentimental themes and musical subplots, with stories of resilience and optimism.
Fire crew gets new truck Continued from Page 1 1,000-gallon tank, double the size of the tank on the truck it replaced. That smaller pumper, in service since 1982, was recently purchased for $5,700 by the city of Barnard, located about 20 minutes south of Maryville. The old truck’s original sticker price was around $80,000. City officials had been hoping all along that a rural fire district inside Nodaway County, or at least in
some nearby town, would purchase the truck, since that means the unit will still be available on a mutualaid basis in the event of a major blaze. The old pumper had been Maryville’s secondline truck, a role that will now be filled by the former first-line unit, another 1,000-gallon pumper manufactured in 1997. Rickabaugh said earlier that the new truck is equipped with numerous safety features that will
protect firefighters both en route and on the scene. The unit also has enough seats for five persons, which means it can carry two more firefighters than the old truck. In addition, those seats are equipped with pop-out air tanks that can be strapped on while traveling to a fire, saving precious seconds. Other features include additional storage space, digital-ready radios and wireless headsets, and an automatic transmission.

Cats release 2014 football schedule By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
The annual Fall Classic is no more. After 12 consecutive games in the Northwest-Pittsburg State rivalry were played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, the MIAA rivalry is returning to campus in 2014. The Homecoming matchup on Saturday, Oct. 18 at Bearcat Stadium against the Gorillas is one of the highlights of Northwest’s 2014 football schedule, which was released Tuesday morning. “Our 2014 schedule features some outstanding home games highlighted by the Homecoming match with Pittsburg State,” Athletic Director Mel Tjeerdsma said in a release. “Obviously, we will miss the opportunity of having this game at Arrowhead Stadium. The Fall Classic was a great game held in an outstanding venue, featuring two of the top programs in Division II football. It was a great partnership between the Chiefs, Pittsburg State and Northwest Missouri. “After considerable thought and discussion, we mutually agreed to move the game back to campus. We want to thank the Chiefs organization for their enthusiastic support of this great rivalry. They have helped provide many cherished memories for the student-athletes, coaches and fans of both Pittsburg State and Northwest Missouri. We would also like to thank the loyal fans of both schools for their support in making the Fall Classic a success.” Northwest will open its season at Bearcat Stadium against Nebraska-Kearney on either Thursday, Sept. 4 or Saturday, Sept. 6. The road slate opens the following weekend, as the Bearcats travel to Joplin to take on Missouri Southern on Thursday, Sept. 11. The rest of the home schedule includes rivals Central Missouri (Sept. 20) and Missouri Western (Nov. 1) as well as Northeastern State (Oct. 4) and Washburn (Nov. 15). The Cats will also travel to Central Oklahoma (Sept. 27), Lindenwood (Oct. 11), Fort Hays State (Oct. 25) and Emporia State (Nov. 18). The 2015 schedule will be a mirror image with game sites flipping during the 2015 season. Game times and promotions for the 2014 season along with the dates for the 2015 schedule will be released at a later date, the Northwest athletics department said in its release. Northwest also set the 2014 Spring Game for 11 a.m. Saturday, April 12 at Bearcat Stadium.

Late run not enough for Lady Jays By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
The Lady Bluejays from Northeast Nodaway put together a strong fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Jefferson Eagles. Both teams came out with strong defense in the first quarter and Jefferson grabbed a 7-5 lead. The second period was all Jefferson, though. The Eagles outscored the Lady Jays 13-2 in the second period and held a 20-7 lead at the half. A slow third quarter for the Bluejays allowed the Eagles to extend their lead to 29-11. Freshman Sarah Chor played a big role in the third quarter, scoring seven of the nine Eagle points. “I thought the girls played really good defense,” Jefferson head coach Tyler Pedersen said. “They missed some shots, but a lot of those shots they did miss were contested. For most of the first three quarters, we did a good job defensively.”
Defensive pressure was key for Jefferson in keeping the Bluejay attack to a minimum. “We didn’t do things that we worked on,” Northeast Nodaway head coach Vance Proffitt said. “We had a good idea of what was going to get thrown at us. We just came out tonight and we froze. We’ve got to do a better job coming out in the first half and not panicking and handling a good team’s pressure.” The fourth quarter, on the other hand, was all Northeast Nodaway. Strong defense and good shooting helped Bluejays outscore the Eagles 14-7 in the final quarter, but it wasn’t enough as Jefferson came away with the 36-25 victory. “They played like we should have played the whole game,” Proffitt said. “We came out and just went all out. I told them to show me something because they hadn’t shown themselves anything yet. They worked their tails off and it proves what we could have
done the whole game instead of saving it for one quarter.” Chor led the way for the Eagles, scoring 12 points and snatching two steals. Kelsi McQuinn, another freshman, scored nine points and also had two steals in the winning effort. “(Chor) came up with some good plays and most of them came from her defense, turning defensive stops into offense for us,” Pedersen said. Sophomore Dallis Coffelt was the leader for the Lady Bluejays, scoring six points and grabbing eight rebounds. Seniors Claudia Wiederholt and Holly Redden each scored five points in the loss. Jefferson fought back to .500, 1111, with its victory. Northeast Nodaway dropped to 12-9 after the loss. Jefferson will host Stewartsville on Friday in its Homecoming game at 6 p.m. while Northeast Nodaway will host Nodaway-Holt Thursday night for its next matchup. The game will tip at 6 p.m. in Ravenwood.
Defense propels Eagles in win By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Defensive pressure was the name of the game when Jefferson took the court against Northeast Nodaway on Tuesday night. Jefferson has been having some success, winning its last four and five of its last six, and the Eagles used that confidence to propel them past Northeast Nodaway. “We have kind of struggled a little bit confidence-wise offensively,” Jefferson head coach Tim Jermain said. “I thought I saw some signs tonight and some people gaining some confidence back and I think that’s a really good sign for us.” The defensive pressure from the Eagles helped them grab a 34-12 lead after the first half. Fresh legs helped keep the defense at a high level, and the depth of the Jefferson bench helped keep the intensity up. “We really rely on our defensive intensity, especially on our full-court defense,” Jermain said. “I thought our bench did a really good job. After the initial burst in the first four minutes, I thought they did a really good job coming off the bench and providing another spark and I think it all starts there for us.” The Eagles’ defensive attack only allowed the Bluejays to get one field goal to fall in the first half, the rest of their points coming from the free throw line. “We did a good job getting to the (free throw) line in the first half,” Northeast Nodaway head coach Chaim Jenkins said. “If we could have sunk our shots, it would have
been a much different ball game because they’re a smart team once they get a doubledigit lead. They can handle it really well. It would have been a different ball game.” The second half was much more closely contested, with Jefferson only outscoring Northeast Nodaway 23-20. In the end, Jefferson came away with the victory 57-32. “They came out really physical,” Jenkins said. “It was a really tough game from the start and we just couldn’t get any offense going against that. It was a little rough there early on. If you can’t get into double digits, it’s hard to get anything going.” Senior Kyler Farnan led the way for the Eagles with 14 points and led the way on defense as well, nabbing four steals. Senior Tyler Merrigan scored nine points and snagged six rebounds in the teams victory. Senior Shaun Burns led the Bluejay scoring attack with 13 points. Senior Joel Scroggie put up nine points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. “I’m glad we got to see a team that aggressive full court, especially heading into districts,” Jenkins said. “I think it’s good to get a nice physical game in heading to the post season.” Jefferson, now winners of five straight, improved to 16-6 coming down the stretch toward the district tournament. Northeast Nodaway dropped to 7-14 after the home loss. Jefferson’s next game will be Friday night on their winter Homecoming against Stewartsville. Northeast Nodaway will host streaking Nodaway-Holt in its next game.

North Nodaway girls top South Holt on the road
OREGON, Mo. — North Nodaway girls coach Doug Freemyer has been looking for a signature win all season, and Monday night in Oregon the Lady Mustangs obliged with a 59-57 victory over South Holt. The loss was South Holt’s first in 275 Conference play. North Nodaway, now 9-11 on the season, was paced by an outstanding all-around performance by Cambry Schluter. The senior scored 31 points, including a 17for-23 performance from the free throw line. In the boy’s contest, South Holt pulled away in the second half for a 70-58 victory over North Nodaway. The Mustangs trailed by one at 35-34 at halftime, but a 25-point fourth quarter by the Knights clinched the 275 Conference victory. Sophomore Koby Reynolds led North Nodaway, now 2-16 on the season, with 16 points. Freshman Peyton Coleman added 15 points, while fellow freshman Dakota Smyser chipped in with 11 points. North Nodaway is back in action tomorrow night as they host St. Joseph Christian, beginning at 6 p.m.

Cold 2nd half dooms Lady Horns By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Two teams which normally favor uptempo basketball used strong defense to slow each other down, and the final result was a 32-28 Mound City victory over the Lady Longhorns of South Nodaway Tuesday night in Barnard. “It was a weird game,” South Nodaway coach Aaron Murphy said. “Both teams slowed down offensively due to defensive pressure and there wasn’t a lot of flow to the game because of it.” The Lady Longhorns jumped out to an 11-4 first quarter lead, as freshmen Meaghan and Mallory McConkey scored four points each, and strong
defensive pressure by South Nodaway forced poor shooting by the Lady Panthers. At halftime, South Nodaway’s lead remained at seven, 21-14. Again, both teams continued to feature trapping defenses, and both squads continued to play cautiously on offense, which resulted in poor shooting. Mound City made a defensive adjustment in the second half, and began extending its defense out to put more pressure on South Nodaway’s perimeter shooters and this strategy allowed the Lady Panthers to close the gap to 27-22. The fourth quarter proved to be decisive, as the Lady Longhorns could
only muster a free throw by senior Andrea Henggeler, while Mound City scored 10 points in the quarter, clinching the win. “We had three straight possessions in the fourth quarter that ended with turnovers,” Murphy said. “In this type of game, you can’t get away with that because the slow tempo limits the number of possessions.” Meaghan McConkey led South Nodaway, now 18-6 on the season, with 10 points while sister Mallory added nine. South Nodaway is back in action Friday when it travels to Union Star for a Platte Valley Conference doubleheader. The girl’s contest is scheduled to tip off at 6 p.m.
Panthers too much for Longhorns By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
The Mound City Panthers are the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Class 1, District 16 tournament, and they looked the part Tuesday night at South Nodaway, downing the home standing Longhorns 62-29. South Nodaway minimized its turnovers in the first quarter, and trailed only 11-5 at the end of the initial stanza. However, the Panthers’ half-court trap began to take a toll on the Longhorns in the second quarter. Despite five points from senior Dalton Murphy, including a buzzer-beating, half-court three-pointer, the Longhorns were outscored 24-10 in the second quarter, pushing the Mound City lead to 35-15. The Panthers forced numerous Longhorn turnovers, and shot the ball well in the quarter. “We continue to be plagued by inconsistency,” Longhorn coach Dustin Skoglund said. “We will do something right, then turn around and face the same situation, and totally fail to execute.” South Nodaway continued to struggle handling the ball against Mound City’s defensive pressure in the third quarter, and the result was several easy baskets for the Panthers. They outscored South Nodaway 18-7 in the quarter, stretching the lead to 53-22. “We really feel like we can play with a lot of teams physically,” Skoglund said. “But mentally, we have to play with a lot more discipline, and we’re just not there yet.” Murphy and sophomore

Northwest won the first game, 17-2, but fell in the nightcap, 3-1. The games were each seven innings and were played at West Texas A&M’s Wilder Park due to weather conditions at Northwestern Oklahoma State.

Earnings gap most in years WASHINGTON (AP) — The earnings gap between young adults with and without bachelor’s degrees has stretched to its widest level in nearly half a century. It’s a sign of the growing value of a college education despite rising tuition costs, according to an analysis of census data. Young adults with just a high-school diploma earned 62 percent of the typical salary of college graduates. That’s down from 81 percent in 1965, the earliest year for which comparable data are available. The analysis by the Pew Research Center shows the increasing economic difficulties for young adults who lack a bachelor’s degree in today’s economy that’s polarized between high- and low-wage work. As a whole, high-school graduates were more likely to live in poverty and be dissatisfied with their jobs, if not unemployed. In contrast, roughly nine in 10 college graduates ages 25 to 32 said that their bachelor’s degree had paid off or will pay off in the future, according to Pew’s separate polling conducted last year. “In today’s knowledge-based economy, the only thing more expensive than getting a college education is not getting one,” said Paul Taylor, Pew’s executive
vice president and co-author of the report. “Young adults see significant economic gains from getting a college degree regardless of the level of student debt they have taken on.” The latest findings come amid rising college tuition costs, which have saddled young adults in the socalled Millennial generation with heavy debt amid high unemployment. Noting the increasing importance of a college education, President Barack Obama and Republicans such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida have pushed proposals to make higher education more affordable as a way to promote upward mobility and bolster America’s shrinking middle class. The report found that not only does a college degree typically yield much more inflation-adjusted earnings than before, but a highschool diploma also is now worth less. That adds to a widening earnings gap that Pew researchers found mirrors the U.S. gap between rich and poor. College graduates ages 25 to 32 who were working full time now typically earn about $17,500 more annually than employed young adults with just a high school diploma ($45,500 vs. $28,000). In 1965 the inflation-adjusted gap was just $7,449.

I want to rock ’n roll all night
There’ll be good rockin’ Sunday night at the Houston Center for the Performing Arts when the Encore performing arts series at Northwest Missouri State University presents “Rock of Ages,” a tribute to 1980s “hair bands” featuring, among others, the music of Styx and Poison.
‘Rock of Ages’ revives ’80s on campus MARYVILLE, Mo. – The next installment in Northwest Missouri State University’s Encore performing arts series will take the audience back to the days of big rock stars, big guitar solos and even bigger hair when it presents the touring Broadway production of “Rock of Ages.” Curtain time for the live stage show is 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 16, in the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts. Set on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in 1987, the

musical spins the tale of a love affair between a smalltown girl and a big-city rock star. Musical numbers include hit songs from Journey, Night Ranger, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and other 1980s groups. “Rock of Ages” premiered in Los Angeles in 2005 and relocated to Broadway in 2009. It was nominated for five Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical,
Best Costume Design and Best Sound Design. In 2012, “Rock of Ages” was released as a featurelength film starring Tom Cruise, Catherine ZetaJones and Alec Baldwin. Tickets can be purchased between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Student Services Center on the first floor of the Administration Building or online at www.nwmissouri.edu/campusactivities/ encore. “People should attend this production because it
is a really great way to be introduced to the arts,” said Angel McAdams Prescott, director of campus activities at Northwest. “A lot of people have a preconceived idea that performing arts productions are formal and stuffy. This is a way for people to be exposed to the arts in a fun and exciting environment.” For more information about the Encore season at Northwest, call McAdams Prescott at (660) 562-1226 or email angel@nwmissouri.edu.

Make a point to spend time with friends and relatives in the coming months. Plan a trip, but consider your overhead as well as hidden costs before you make a commitment. You will make an impression if you learn new skills and concentrate on your work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Refrain from sharing your secrets. Organize personal paperwork or deal with unfinished projects to put an accomplished feel on the day. Relaxation in the evening will be rewarding. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Devote time to your favorite hobby or one of your many talents. Someone who comes from a very different background will inspire you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t damage your reputation by revealing secret information. In order to avoid a problem with your friends or relatives, be very careful what you say to whom. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A change of scenery will go a long way toward reducing your stress. Avoid people and situations that are getting you down, and plan a pleasurable outing with friends or family. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Reflect on your past and think about what you want and need out of life to begin the process of making your dreams come true. No one else can do this for you.

ity that will help you stay calm and out of trouble. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Speak up if you feel someone is withholding important information from you. Getting all the facts and asking the right questions could have a positive effect on your future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do something physical to relieve your boredom. Rather than dwell on your problems, check out your community for activities that interest you. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you discover. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You may feel disappointed with the way your life is going. Don’t let your fears prevent you from reaching your goals. Take positive steps to make personal improvements. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Today will be a success if you devote your energy and enthusiasm to a cause you believe in. You will make new friends with your pleasant attitude and desire to help. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Attend to unfinished business. You must sort through personal documents carefully in order to avoid a costly mistake. If you offer assistance to someone who needs it, you’ll receive similar treatment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Those who love you deserve your attention. If something is seriously bothering you, now is the time to clear it up. Problems will continue to grow if you neglect them.
come to an end.” Luckily, it is not that tough at the bridge table. But the more counting you do, the better you will play -- our theme this week. In today’s deal, look at the auction and the West and North hands. South is in four spades. West leads the diamond ace. How should he continue the defense? North, holding a low doubleton, reasonably chose to use Stayman. (If he had responded three notrump, that contract could also have been defeated.) South correctly rebid two hearts when holding four cards in each major. North jumped to three no-trump. And South, knowing his partner had four spades, corrected back to game in that strain. When the dummy comes down, a good defender first checks out the high-card points. South indicated 15-17, dummy has 13, and West holds seven. That leaves 3-5 for East. So East could have one winner to go with West’s
diamond ace-king. But where is the fourth defensive trick? Now count the suit lengths. Dummy has three hearts, South showed four, and West has five. East must have a singleton. This is West’s best chance. At trick two -- not after cashing the diamond king, a card needed as an entry -- West shifts to a heart. Then, East can take the first or second round of spades, return a diamond to his partner’s king, and receive a heart ruff to defeat the contract.
