Design firm presents ideas for South Main By JIM FALL
Executive editor
The City of Maryville moved a step closer to resolving enduring problems with traffic flow along South Main Street Thursday as city officials heard the second of two presentations for improvements to the city’s major north-south corridor. John Chamberlin, director of engineering for SK Design Group Inc., of Overland Park, Kan., and Mehrdad Givechi, managing principal of MGineering Solutions from Lawrence, Kan., explained their proposal to study and recommend solutions to alleviate as much congestion as possible along the busy route. As was the case with a similar presentation Wednesday from BHCRhodes of Overland Park, Kan., and RDG Design & Planning of Omaha, Mayor
Jim Fall, Councilman Glenn Jonagan, City Manager Greg McDanel, Assistant City Manager Ryan Heiland and Public Works Director C.E. Goodall represented the city. City Street Superintendent Jay Cacek, who had attended Wednesday’s session, was unable to be at City Hall Thursday. Chamberlin cited his extensive background in traffic situations and his firm’s recent associations with Maryville, including the reconstruction of South Munn Avenue last year and the about-to-be-undertaken Fourth Street corridor to link Maryville’s Courthouse Square with the main entrance to Northwest Missouri State University near the intersection of Fourth and Dunn streets. Chamberlin explained the several aspects of his firm’s anticipated approach
JIM FALL/DAILY FORUM
The ‘South’ Main event
John Chamberlin of SK Design Group Inc., Overland Park, Kan., refers to one of three conceptual design charts his firm used in connection with its presentation to Maryville city officials Thursday related to possible changes along South Main Street. SK Design is one of two engineering and design firms being considered to develop a new plan for the city’s main north-south route. to remedying various traffic problems that currently exist. In addition to concentrating on the section of South Main from its intersection
with South Avenue south to the Route V-South Hills Drive intersection, the SK team will also examine a potential “feeder roadway plan that would make sense
for the entire area,” Chamberlin said. “The network outside the corridor is critical,” Givechi said. “We need to understand the importance of
marrying the two together.” The engineers emphasized the importance of community input, and said they would plan to conduct

Saying ‘I love you’ with flowers
DAILY FORUM PHOTOS BY KEVIN BIRDSELL
Above: Scores of floral arrangements were being prepared this week in preparation for Valentine’s Day, traditionally one of the busiest days of the year for local florists. Despite a high-volume of pre-orders, last-minute shopping still rules when it comes to saying it with flowers. Right: Hy-Vee floral designer Guy Ebersole puts together an arrangement Thursday morning. Valentine’s Day means big business for local flower shops.
Flower business blooms on Valentine’s Day By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Valentine’s Day is here, which means that flowers are flying off the shelves. Some people have been ready to express their romantic feelings for a while, pre-ordering flowers days or weeks in advance. But Vanessa Peter, the new owner of Bittersweet Floral & Gifts in Maryville, said walk-in business rules. Peter said about 60-percent of her Valentine’s Day business comes from walk-ins. Keitha Clapp of Maryville Flo-
rist said that walk-ins account for an even higher percentage of Valentine’s sales, about 70 percent. Same goes for Hy-Vee. “Ordering ahead, we probably have 75 to 100 (customers),” said Hy-Vee Floral Manager Cindy White. “On Valentine’s Day we have probably twice that many.” Requests for deliveries run along the same lines. “Delivery numbers run right along the same lines with preorders,” Peter said. “Pre-orders usually request delivery, and most walk-ins just pick the flowers up and take them with them.” Clapp also said that most of her
deliveries serve customers who order ahead of time. However, deliveries and walkins “are even” at Hy-Vee, White said. “We keep track of that every year.” She added that the floral department’s Valentine’s Day sales alone equal its normal volume during an average month. Maryville Florist also experiences a big spike in sales on Valentine’s Day, and Clapp said 25 to 30 percent of her yearly transactions come at this time of year. Peter said Valentine’s Day at Bittersweet accounts for 60 to 65 percent of yearly sales.

While flowers are the big sellers, arrangements featuring chocolate and other kinds of candy have also become popular. “Our sweetness bouquet, all year around, has been a good seller,” White said. “There’s always been chocolates to go with flowers on Valentine’s Day. I would say the older generation will pick up a box of chocolates for their sweetheart, while the younger generation will get a smaller (amount) of chocolates to go with their flowers. I feel that it’s more of an age difference.” Another factor is what day of the week Valentine’s Day falls

on. “If it falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday, those are better days for florists,” Clapp said. “If it falls on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, sales for florists go down a little. Restaurants and hotels most likely increase some as people go out to eat or on a getaway.” Forgetfulness apparently boosts business as well, since flower sales usually continue strong the day after the holiday proper. “That’s another big day. We have at least 40 deliveries the day after,” White said.

CAPITOL BRIEFS House calls for probe into propane pricing
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House is asking the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the high price of propane. The resolution endorsed Thursday was adopted by a voice vote and now heads to the Senate where a similar measure was also passed this week. Lawmakers began considering the measures after propane prices jumped over $5 per gallon in January. Propone associations say the high prices are caused by colder weather and higher-than-expected crop yields. But Missouri legislators have accused the industry of price gouging by boosting exports and causing a shortage back home. Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is also investigating. Gov. Jay Nixon has announced an additional $15 million in aid for low-income propane customers to cope with the high prices.

Engineering/design firm makes South Main pitch Continued from Page 1 opinion surveys not only in the Maryville community but also in the surrounding area. “Effective public communication will be the basis for the entire project,” Givechi said. He said initial plans would call for the inclusion of Northwest students to assist in such early aspects
of the project as establishing traffic counts and gathering other basic preliminary information. Jonagan said that while he was concerned with traffic signals and the delays they cause in using the route as it exists, “My wife is more concerned with access to the stores.” Chamberlin responded that there
is probably “no perfect solution. “Too much is already set,” he said. Chamberlin estimated it would require nine months to complete the necessary planning effort. “The challenge will be to get all the different businesses to buy into the project,” he said. “The property owners will have to work together,” Givechi added.
The ultimate result from an SK Design study would be “a guiding document, similar to an update of the major street plan for Kansas City, Mo., our firm recently completed,” Chamberlin said. The plan would be designed to produce “immediate, low-cost solutions — perhaps signage, street markings and signal timing — in-
termediate solutions, and set longrange goals. “Those, of course, will depend on the city’s sources of funding. We want a plan that can serve you now, as well as 20 years in the future.” The city is expected to reach a decision on which firm to retain within a week.

MY WORD
A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
Our liberal hosts in Washington are busy setting the political table for this November’s congressional election and for Hillary in 2016. They will be serving the usual hokum, but with fine new dishes of spin, overwrought verbiage, and the resuscitation of reliable bromidic points concerning the need for yet more government. Success depends on the allegiance of liberal Big Media necessary for the spreading of the word, and the support of a disengaged, uninformed, and increasingly dependent electorate. Anticipation is high on the Left, but there is uneasiness too. What if things go awry? The Senate could be lost, and Harry Reid reassigned to oblivion. What if the House stays in Republican hands? Why, it’ll be tough redistributing all that borrowed money. The Left is working with the zeal of the nearly unemployed who just got a glimpse of the polls. The Leftist narrative can change with the subtlety of a shadow slipping into night. Not long ago, the libs were all about “global warming.” Overnight, that was whisked away and replaced by “climate change.” Why the re-branding? Well, skepticism was growing that perhaps the presentation was bogus after all. The temperature elevations were minor, and Al Gore was beginning to look like a profiteering snake oil salesman and not a particularly good one. Interest in impending doom was waning. “Climate change,” you notice, is more generalized and can be spun in more ways. It can explain a mild winter followed by a Larry Anderson cold one, drought followed by rain, snow in the South, and birds leaving for winter vacation a day early. It can be folded into a politically correct context and play on uncertainty, but most significantly, it can justify a plethora of laws and regulations through an empowered EPA. It seems the economy isn’t really a mess. It’s just the unemployed, the underemployed, and those who have gone without raises for years were blaming the wrong people. It wasn’t this administration’s fault. It is the fault of a capitalistic system that gives more to some than others. Correcting that misperception is a matter of redirecting thinking through a continuous narrative of blame, misleading statistics, convoluted explanations by a master story-teller, and redistribution. Hope abounds. Center to the new narrative for the next three years will be the “War on Women,” the successful monologue that challenges women to rise in self defense. Some emphasis may be placed on the so-called “glass ceiling,” but the main purposes are to galvanize the female vote for Hillary Clinton and to further institutionalize abortion, the issue the Left has tied itself to with umbilical-like finality. The real war isn’t on women. It is on the unborn. We know this is true because the casualties run into the millions. There is a brand new narrative being expounded by the Left. This one has to do with the value of unemployment. Yes, that’s right, folks. Being gainfully unemployed can be a virtue delivered purposefully by your trusty liberal wag. By being unemployed, Nancy Pelosi claims, you will be freed from the confinements of work to pursue your dreams. You can create a daring tofu recipe or start that new business that only a failed system has prevented from happening. Of course this is clumsy spin for the fact that millions will lose jobs or have work hours reduced due to the growing cost of ObamaCare. Liberal columnist Froma Harrop defined this new tribute to empty-headedness this way: “… the Affordable Care Act may reduce the number of hours worked by the equivalent of 2.5 million full-time jobs. But millions of workers will choose to cut their working hours. What’s bad about that if that’s what they want? True, some will purposely earn less money to qualify for government health insurance subsidies. True, some employers may reduce workers’ hours to avoid paying the employer mandate …. Many workers … will see not having to “work for the man” to get health coverage as liberation …. Some will use this freedom to start the businesses they’ve always dreamed of.” Sure. You can start that business if you have capital, and how do you get capital if you aren’t working? And how many lenders dole cash to the unemployed? Oh! You know those folks enjoying their time off? Someone else has to pay for that through subsidies. You and me. The new narrative is built on lies designed to protect the liberal investment in Big Government and to keep voters within the fold. Don’t fall for it. Larry W. Anderson is a retired educator and a tired conservative.
It took two years and an upcoming election, but Congress finally passed a renewal of the Farm Bill. To avoid these delays and conflicts on an annual basis, the bill spends about $100 billion dollars a year for the next 10 years, nearly 50 percent higher than the 2008 bill. That means that interests have entrenched their goodies for another decade without further scrutiny. Isn’t America great? How would you like the government to guarantee your income for the next decade? Actually, only a relative few get the guaranteed income from farming; 80 percent of the bill goes to providing food support for the poor. Farm bills, provided since the 1970s, include a strange wedding between liberal insistence on food supplement programs for the very poor in America and conservative farm interests who (rather contradictory to their free-market philosophy) want an income guaranteed by the federal government. The bill’s major change seems to be the switch from a program of price supports to a program of subsidized insurance for major crops — mostly corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton and rice. This tends to lock in supports at peak prices and guarantees relatively safe farming. Combine this with generous write-offs for farm equipment and many farmers have a risk-free income. Data shows that the average farm household income is 25 percent higher than the average American household. This is not to say that all farmers benefit equally. The largest 10 percent of farm businesses have received 75 percent of the government monies. As an indication as to what will happen with the new farm bill, in 2011, the mean crop insurance subsidy that the top 1 percent of policyholders re-
A new spin for changing times
jfall@maryvilledailyforum.com
Our government needs a more efficient food-support system ceived was $227,000 (which means half received more). The bottom 80 percent of farmers got a mean subsidy of $5,000. Perhaps the Farm Bill should be called the Corporate Farm Wealth
Richard Fulton Enhancement Bill. Or perhaps the Corporate Row Crop Farmers Wealth Enhancement Bill. Farming has become an investment target since most money goes to absentee farm owners — including several in Congress. After all, the value of farm assets has increased by nearly 50 percent since 2008. Note than not much in the “farm bill” goes to fruit and vegetable producers, nor to “specialty crops” like tomatoes, blueberries, potatoes, nuts and honey. The bill does give some boost to organic agriculture and locally grown foods. Not much though. Milk has been saved from falling back into a 1949 price-support that
would automatically have triggered if the farm bill was not passed. That would have doubled the cost of milk. The 2014 bill provides insurance if there is a gap between the price farmers receive and the cost of feed. Sugar and cotton farmers keep their subsidies and trade protections. Only a few sugar farmers get protections that maintain the highest cost to consumers for sugar than anywhere else in the world. Why? Cotton subsidies break free-trade treaties that cost the U.S. fines. The bill also avoids serious reform of the food-support programs. Some monies are cut from the programs, but not significantly. The problem is dealing with the increased need to aid a growing poor population in America. The food stamp program has grown by 177 percent since 2000. Disparity of incomes in America has created a permanent poor and nearpoor, most of whom are working. Here is the problem: You are working or looking for work, and still can’t get above the poverty line. Sure, some are scamming the program, but most simply are hungry. Note that most are children, disabled, or single moms. America needs to walk a mile in their shoes before brushing them off as lazy or unworthy. Still, there needs to be a thorough review of the federal government’s programs that aid the poor. There are 126 anti-poverty programs run by the federal government. Surely this number creates overlap and duplication. The president should appoint a “blue ribbon” bipartisan commission to study these programs and give recommendation for savings and efficiencies. Food production is a vital element of a strong nation, all the more reason to make government policies in this area reasonable and fair.
LOCAL COLUMNIST
My childhood memories from TV are slowly dying — Stop it
Author’s note: Warning. The follwing column is filled with unchecked nostalgia. Enter at your own risk. So far, 2014 hasn’t been kind to my childhood. On the day of this writing, the actors portraying two supporting characters from sitcoms I watched every day after school as a kid (if it wasn’t Godzilla week on Channel 5) died within hours of each other. Russell Johnson and Dave Madden. Johnson played Professor Roy Hinkley for the three-year run of “Gilligan’s Island.” The voice of reason on the Island, Hinkley, who only boarded the doomed S.S. Minnow to do research for his book, “Fun with Ferns,” could recharge batteries using salt water in a coconut, and build a washing machine, but couldn’t, as Johnson joked later, “fix the leaky boat.” He was 89. The Professor was a source of frustration for my parents. I deconstructed clocks, flashlights and walkie-talkies because if the Professor could build a generator and a record player using jungle vines and screwdriver, I had to be able to make something with all the neat little electronic bits I dragged out of Mom’s clock radio. I didn’t. I couldn’t. And nothing ever went back together right. Gilligan (Bob Denver) preceded the Professor in death, as did the Skipper (Alan Hale, Jr.) and Mr. and Mrs. Howell (Jim Backus and Natalie
Schafer). The last two surviving cast members are Dawn Wells and Tina Louise. I guess the question (since at least 1964) of “who do you like better, Mary Anne or Ginger?” will continue for a while longer. Back in the 1990s, Johnson, Den-
Jason Offutt ver and Wells appeared at a festival in Smithville. I was a 20-minute drive from them that day, but I didn’t have a clue they were there signing autographs. I’m still mad about that. Madden played Reuben Kincaid, the frazzled manager on “The Partridge Family.” He appeared in all 96 episodes from 1970 to 1974.
I always felt sorry for Reuben Kincaid. He got the family’s first single on the air, nursed it until it became a hit, and scheduled gigs for that heavy baggage family for the next four years, all the while not killing that horrible little Danny Partridge (played by Danny Bonaduce, and still Kincaid didn’t punch him, not once). Kincaid got as much respect as a member of Congress. Madden was also a regular on “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In,” which beats the hell out of “The Partridge Family,” any day. The guy was just funny. He was 82. Geez, that was depressing. But not to be out depressed by 2014, 2013 also killed off a lot of beloved actors from my childhood. Mr. Drummond (Conrad Bain) from “Diff’rent Strokes.” Cute little Ann Romano (Bonnie Franklin) from “One Day at a Time.” Annette freakin’ Funicello. Jonathan Winters. Clarence “Lumpy” Rutherford (Frank Bank) from “Leave it to Beaver.” And Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton) from “All in the Family.” That’s a lot of ouch. Seeing as some of my fondest TV memories are disappearing faster than my hair, I guess I need to keep my eye on William Shatner. He’ll be 83 March 22. The moment Captain Kirk checks out, I know my childhood TV memories will always be reruns. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

CAPITOL BRIEFS Governor won’t rule out White House bid
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon says he would enact an income tax cut, if lawmakers agree to several contingencies. The Democratic governor said Thursday that he would sign a bill cutting individual income tax rates by up to onehalf of a percentage point if the tax cut is contingent on Missouri fully funding public schools and curbing some of the state’s costliest tax credit programs. Nixon also said that any incremental tax cut should be contingent on continued growth of at least $200 million annually in tax revenues. Last year, Nixon vetoed an income tax cut bill passed by the Republican-led Legislature, citing concerns about its effect on education funding.

a preoccupation of European nobility during the 13th and 14th centuries. In the early Middle Ages, St. Valentine was just one of thousands of Christian saints who had purportedly worked miracles and often died for their faith from the time of the Roman emperors onward. It was courtly love, a complex, otherworldly concept that split the difference between erotic desire, noble sacrifice and elevated spirituality, which turned Valentine into a

For unknown reasons, many of Well, it’s a fair question, but one these stories involved St. Valentine whose answers have been muddied by and the courtly lovers who venerated the passage of many centuries and eshim. So as the few real facts about the pecially by the cult of “courtly love,” saint faded into legend, such stories were ultimately written down by authors such as Geoffrey Chaucer. The result was that St. Valentine’s feast day, February 14, soon became associated with romantic love. However, the historical saint remains obscure, in part because there were actually several St. Valentines, and scholars are uncertain which, if any, is the “real” one. But if Catholic tradition is believed, remnants of his existence 1,700 years ago exist in Nodaway County. The Relic Chapel at the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration Monastery in Clyde east of Maryville has not one but two St. Valentine relics, both tiny bone fragments. Kelley Baldwin, communications director for the monastery, said the larger of the two relics, encased in a small, ornate glass-topped box, was given to the sisters in 1942 by a Benedictine priest and has been authenticated by the Roman Catholic Church.

One of the best-known legends about St. Valentine is recorded in the “Legenda Aurea,” one of the most widely read books of the High Middle Ages. The “Legenda” contains only a brief life of the saint, which has him refusing to deny Christ before the Roman Emperor Claudius II, who ordered him beheaded. Before his execution, however, Valentine is said to have restored the sight and hearing of his jailer’s daughter. Another legend has Valentine defying Claudius’ orders and secretly marrying couples so that the new husbands wouldn’t have to go to war.

St. Valentine relics kept at Clyde By TONY BROWN
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is refusing to rule out a campaign for president in 2016. The Democratic governor is prohibited by term-limits from seeking a third term in 2016 and has not said what he plans to do next. When asked Thursday if he will run for president, Nixon said neither “yes” nor “no.” Instead, he said he is focused on what he can get accomplished as governor before his term ends. When asked again if he was leaving the door open for a presidential run, Nixon responded that he was pleased such questions are not greeted with laughter. But he declined to say either “yes” or “no.” Since winning re-election in 2012, Nixon has shifted to the left on some issues such as gay marriage and Medicaid expansion.

Big 2nd quarter propels Trojans
660-562-2424
QUOTABLE “That’s the momentum — from that shot forward now — we’ve got to use that shot as that was what gave us the momentum to have a good week next week and go into districts with some confidence.” -Maryville girls basketball coach Grant Hageman
jlawrence@maryvilledailyforum.com
By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
The Nodaway-Holt Lady Trojans carried their undefeated season into Ravenwood on Thursday and kept their perfect season alive with a 66-42 victory over Northeast Nodaway. Both teams came out playing hard defense, causing turnovers on both ends. After the first quarter, the score was tied at 10. “We had some huge momentum early on,” Northeast Nodaway coach Vance Proffitt said. After the first period though, it was all Trojans. They outscored the Lady Jays 21-4 in the second quarter. The 31-14 halftime lead was more than enough for the Trojans to ride to victory. “We got some transition baskets and our press started working a little better,” Nodaway-Holt coach David Carroll said. “Megan (Rosenbohm) made some penetrations and all those things together helped us pull ahead.” The Lady Jays didn’t allow the Trojans to extend their lead too far in the second half though, only getting outscored by seven points. A big second half from Nodaway-Holt senior Megan Rosenbohm, who scored 21 points in the half, helped keep the game out of reach for Northeast Nodaway. “Effort, intensity and playing together are key to stopping a player of that caliber,” Proffitt said. “Make her make her teammates to things that they don’t want to do. But she decided to do a lot on her own tonight. She’s a good ball player and sometimes you can’t stop that.” Rosenbohm led the Lady Trojans with 38 points. Senior Kalli Devers chipped in with 11 points. “We set some good screens and got people open,” Carroll said. “Again, we were able to get some transition baskets and get some penetration. Those two things played big in the win.” The Lady Jays were led in scoring by senior Taryn Farnan, who scored 11 points. Sophomore Dallis Coffelt added nine points, as well. “I’m proud of them and their effort tonight,” Proffitt said. “It was a big positive for us going into districts.” With the win, the Nodaway-Holt improves to 21-0. Northeast Nodaway fell to 12-10 with the home loss. The Lady Trojans will travel to Oregon to play South Holt tonight. The game will tip off at 6 p.m. Northeast Nodaway will also hit the road, playing DeKalb tonight at 6 p.m.

Turnovers doom Mustangs By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
North Nodaway couldn’t overcome turnovers and good shooting by visiting St. Joseph Christian and dropped a 59-43 decision to the Lions Tuesday night. North Nodaway trailed by a 13-10 margin at the end of the first quarter and by halftime the Lions lead was five at 30-25. “We had eight turnovers in the first half,” Mustang coach Chris Schoning said. “At least five of those were unforced — just us
not taking care of the basketball.” It was more of the same in the second half, as the Mustang defense would create scoring opportunities that North Nodaway continually failed to convert into points. Again, turnovers were the main culprit. “We had 14 turnovers in the second half,” Schoning said. “Those are hard to overcome and you could just see our kids get down on themselves as we got further behind. “We haven’t had a lot of success this See NORTH NODAWAY, Page 8

Spoofhounds looking for momentum before districts By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
A three-pointer from an unlikely source may give Maryville some momentum going into the final week of the regular season. At least that’s girls head coach Grant Hageman’s hope. Senior post Gabby Church ran around a pair of baseline screens and popped out on the win for a three-point try late in the fourth quarter of Maryville’s 49-20 loss to Benton, but for that one play, the score didn’t matter as Church’s shot swished home and the
Maryville bench immediately jumped up. “It’s a play we have in our system. We don’t obviously run it for our post players very often,” Hageman said. “The other day she was shooting them and working on it. She was bound and determined to make that shot. It was kind of neat to see that go in. “That’s the momentum — from that shot forward now — we’ve got to use that shot as that was what gave us the momentum to have a good week next week and go into districts with some confidence.” The Hounds have two games left before See HOUNDS, Page 8
An 18-0 run that spanned from late in third and into the fourth quarter propelled the streaking Nodaway-Holt boys’ basketball team to its ninth straight victory on Thursday night. Hot shooting was the name of the game for the Trojans early in the game, scoring 20 first-quarter points, nine of which came behind the three-point arc. “We had some nice outside-inside passing and converting,” Nodaway-Holt coach Terry Peterson said. Northeast Nodaway was not discouraged though, outscoring the Trojans 11-6 in the second quarter and reducing the gap to 26-20 at halftime. “We had to make a few adjustments defensively,” Northeast Nodaway coach Chaim Jenkins said. “We had to do a good job getting position and making our own easy shots.” The beginning of the third quarter belonged to the Bluejays, who tied up the game at 26 early in the period. “We started doing a good job jumping out and getting better position overall,” Jenkins said. “Once we started running our stuff defensively, we got the matchups that we wanted. It was really us just playing our game.” After the tie, though, the Trojans exploded for 18 unanswered points in the third and part of the fourth quarter. “Offensively, in the second half, again we had some nice looks inside,” Peterson said. “The guards did a nice job passing it in, we got a few putbacks after offensive
rebounds and we hit shots from the outside. The kids responded well with that.” The only points the Bluejays scored in the third quarter were the ones before they tied the game at 26. “We just went into a drought,” Jenkins said. “Anytime that has happened this year, it’s been really ugly. Stopping the droughts has been on our checklist, but unfortunately another one snuck up on us. They did a great job of capitalizing on it. A run that big can almost guarantee it will put you away, which it did tonight.” That run was too much for the Bluejays to overcome, and the Trojans came away with the victory 59-40. Nodaway-Holt picked up their ninth straight victory with the win, improving to 15-7. Northeast Nodaway fell to 7-15. “Those good stretches we had were key,” Jenkins said. “If we can keep that up for a whole game it will help. Just knowing we have that capability is key, especially against a team that’s pretty darn solid. It’s good to have good stretches throughout this game that we can use moving forward.” Seniors Nick Patterson and Devin Albertson led the way for the Trojans, each scoring 14 points. Senior Brice Shamberger chipped in 10 points, all of which came in the first half. Seniors Joel Scroggie, Shaun Burns and junior Garet Jackson led the Bluejays in scoring with 11 each. The Bluejays will travel to DeKalb for their next game, tonight. The game will tip at 7:30 p.m. Nodaway-Holt also hits the road for its next match, playing South Holt at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Oregon.

North Nodaway falls short
Defense keys Mustangs After a 59-57 upset win over conference foe South Holt on Monday night, North Nodaway coach Doug Freemyer wasn’t sure if the Lady Mustangs would have a letdown against St. Joseph Christian on Thursday. He shouldn’t have worried. The Lady Mustangs jumped out to a 17-8 first quarter lead and were never threatened as they cruised to a 57-36 victory over the Lady Lions. “It was a good night overall for the team,” Freemyer said. “We had a chance to play a lot of people and let them play several minutes.” By halftime, the North Nodaway lead was 31-15. Freshman post Madison Thompson scored 19 points in the first half, as she dominated in the paint and on
Continued from Page 7 season and when things start to go negatively, our kids start getting down and playing not to lose instead of playing to win. That’s a hard cycle to break.” The Lions led by 12, 47-35 at the end of the third quarter, and used good free throw shooting and some timely inside baskets to secure the win. “I told the team after the game that this one is over, so don’t dwell on it,” Schoning said. “We play again (tonight) against Craig/
the boards against the visitors from St. Joseph. In the second half, North Nodaway continued to add to the lead, opening up a 4725 lead by the end of the third quarter. “We were able to play Madison together with the other freshmen, which we hadn’t had much opportunity to do this year,” Freemyer said. “Lots of girls gained some valuable game experience tonight.” Thompson finished the game with 22 points to lead the Lady Mustangs, now 1011 on the season. Senior Cambry Schluter added 11 points. “We play Craig/Fairfax (tonight),” Freemyer said, “and that’s another big conference game for us. If we can get that one, we’ve had a pretty good week.” The tilt with Craig/Fairfax is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., with the boys’ game to follow.

Freshman Peyton Coleman and senior Fred Rios each added nine for North Nodaway, while senior Devin Brown pitched in with eight.

Continued from Page 7 districts begin Monday, Feb. 24 at Lathrop High School and Hageman hopes the Hounds can make the most of them and take some of what Benton did and use it going forward. “Like we told the girls, ‘If you don’t like how tight they’re guarding you and how much pressure they’re putting on you and how physical they are, then learn that from what they’re doing
and apply it back to them,’” Hageman said. “Then we can apply that to teams that aren’t as quick and talented and pressure teams into turnovers like (Benton) was pressuring us into turnovers and take teams out of their offense.” Thursday night’s game didn’t start well as the Spoofhounds turned it over on their first possession and found themselves quickly in a 16-4 hole at the end of

the first quarter. The second quarter was more of the same as the Cardinals took a 27-8 lead into the locker room at half. “Early in the game, we didn’t show much fight and I was a little disappointed with that,” Hageman said. “I thought we backed down and felt a little sorry for ourselves. That was a good team. It was hard to get open, it was hard for them to do anything.” Maryville came out with a renewed energy in the second half, but Benton still kept piling on, pushing its lead out to 41-14 by the end of the third. In the fourth quarter, keyed by senior guard Cassie Holtman, the defensive intensity picked up for the Lady Hounds and they stuck close with the Cards in the quarter, getting outscored just 8-6 — including the late three-pointer by Church. “I really thought it started when Cassie Holtman started getting after it on defense,” Hageman said. “When she started getting after it on defense, I thought everyone followed. That’s the definition of a leader. I was really impressed with Cassie to step up and finally do that.” Maryville (4-18) is back in action Tuesday night at Nebraska City (Neb.) before rounding out the regular season Thursday, Feb. 20 at home against Savannah.

Your intuition will guide you to make the right decisions for yourself and your family in the near future. You will make great gains, provided you don’t try to do everything at once. Keep your priorities straight and proceed methodically in order to succeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t feel neglected if someone doesn’t go along with your plans. You could go along with the group or spend some time working independently on something else you enjoy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Indulge in things you find pleasurable. Soothe your nerves by listening to your favorite music or enjoying a special meal. Relaxation could help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Go ahead, make the improvements you have been contemplating. Take the necessary action to reach an important goal. You will be pleased at the results and impress someone you care about as well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Go over your records to determine whether you have been careless with money. Be honest with yourself and make adjustments to your budget before your debts take over. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your outgoing nature will lead to an interesting invitation.

played at the bridge table. Experienced defenders transmit information with almost all of the cards they play, especially early in the deal. In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest spade. How should the play proceed? Declarer took East’s spade queen with his ace, cashed the diamond king, and continued with the diamond queen. He was hoping the jack would appear, allowing him to run for home. However, when West discarded the heart four at trick three, South had to regroup. Declarer needed a dummy entry, so had to find West with the heart king. At trick four, South led a low heart. West won with his king and cashed the spade king: club, spade three, nine. West continued with the spade jack: club, spade five, 10. Suitably deceived, West led another spade. South won with his eight, played a heart to dummy’s queen,
and ran the diamonds to collect an overtrick. “How could I have known?” asked West. East pointed out that on the second round of spades, he gave “remaining count.” Here, because he had three cards left, he dropped the lowest one. If instead he had still held 8-6-5-3, he would have played the six under West’s king and the three under the jack. West, after cashing the spade jack, should, in desperation, have shifted to his club two, which would have resulted in down two.
