Tax deadline set for closed CMC facility By TONY BROWN News Editor
A company seeking to purchase the former Carbolytic Materials Company plant east of Maryville has signed an agreement with the Nodaway County Commission to discharge a $274,000 personal property tax debt by the end of December. County Collector-Treasurer Marilyn Jenkins confirmed Thursday the deal was in place, adding that failure to pay off the back taxes before the deadline will result in her office filing a lawsuit against the corporation, which she declined to name. Jenkins said she has been working with Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice to prepare the way for immediate legal action if the money isn’t forthcoming. Carbolytic Materials Company, usually referred to as CMC, came to Maryville with much fanfare in 2008. The St. Louis-based startup, founded by a group of St. Louis businessmen, created a wave of excitement locally just as Nodaway County was beginning to reel under the first blows of the Great Recession.
‘Before placing $43,000 against its tax debt on account with the county, CMC owed Maryville R-II Schools alone more than $200,000.’
CMC’s chief executive Ray Riek, a former chemical engineer for Monsanto, touted the company’s “proprietary technology,” which was designed to recover oil, gas and the plastics manufacturing agent carbon black from shredded automotive tires. Former Northwest Missouri State University President Dean Hubbard sensed opportunity and convinced Riek to move CMC’s research and development arm into the stillunfinished Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, a campus-based business incubator. At the time, the deal seemed like a major coup for Northwest, especially after an earlier agreement with Ventria Bioscience fell through, leaving the university with a multimillion-dollar facility and no major tenants. During a series of ribbon cuttings, document signings and suit-and-tie receptions, Hubbard and other local leaders and elected officials described the coming of CMC as the dawn of a new economic day for the Maryville area, predicting the creation of scores of good paying jobs by an operation that would improve the environment by ridding dumps of millions of tons of discarded rubber. The dream faded quickly. Soon, local merchants and suppliers were complaining that CMC didn’t pay its bills. Then, a couple of years ago, county officials disclosed that the company had 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 See CMC, Page 9A

Workers prepare to apply stucco to a damaged wall painting on the southwest corner of the courthouse square in Maryville. The mural was damaged during a 2010 windstorm and has proved to be an eyesore and a headache for both City Hall and the building’s owner ever since.
Damaged mural faces uncertainty
By TONY BROWN News Editor
The fate of a large mural depicting the Maryville square as it appeared decades ago and featuring the likenesses of famous former Nodaway County residents remains undecided after workers repaired damage to the artwork this week caused by a July 2010 windstorm. The storm ripped off a large section near the top of the painting and left large cracks across the face of the image, which was rendered on stucco and bolted to the side of a century-old brick storefront about a decade ago. Located at 104 E. Third St., the building is owned by local businessman Kam Fai Wong, who said Thursday he is working with the city to address maintenance concerns involving the roof and west exterior wall where the mural is attached. The damaged painting has been
a problem for City Hall ever since the storm, creating an eyesore on the edge of a downtown that received a major face lift a couple of years ago with the completion of a $3 million streetscape project. Fearing additional chunks of the mural would fall to the ground, endangering passersby, the city cordoned off the area, including a small, unkempt vacant lot owned by absentee landowners Robert and Eugenia Nagel. City officials said this week their hands are tied with regard to getting the lot cleaned up and the mural restored since both are private property. City Manager Greg McDanel said Thursday there have been legal wrangles between the city and the Nagles with regard to the lot, once the site of an old bank building long since torn down. As for the mural, it was the brain child of the Maryville Citizens for
Community Action, an ad hoc group that no longer exists. Created by Chillicothe artist Kelly Poling in the early 2000s, the mural was subject to a contract with the building’s former owner — Wong acquired the property later — that allowed the city to maintain the artwork. However, McDanel said the arrangement has expired. Wong said the repairs, which consisted of plastering over the broken portion of the painting, are temporary, and that a permanent fix will have to wait until he figures out who, if anybody, is responsible for Poling’s work. City Code Enforcement Officer James Wiederholt said Thursday another problem is the west side of Wong’s building, the one behind the painting, which was originally constructed as an interior wall. Over the years, Wiederholt said, the brick surface has taken a beatSee Mural, Page 9A

Bristol Manor is one of the smaller nursing homes in Maryville. Still, though the home has only ten residents, the folks who live and work there are striving to help out local families in a big way. Bristol Manor manager Linda Austin has paired with the Ministry Center in Maryville to donate food to families in need this holiday season. The home is collecting non-perish-

Each person who donates a food item can put their names on a ornament to be hung on the Bristol Manor Christmas tree. The nursing home tries to put a little different spin on the holidays each year. In 2012, it collected school supplies and raised money for breast cancer awareness. Food donations will be accepted through Jan. 4.

Christmas turned me into a kung fu jerk
Christmas brings out the worst in humanity. I mean, if Christmas will turn a nineyear-old kid into a miscreant (“criminal sociopath” seems much too harsh a term for a fourth grader), what do you think the holiday does to someone really disturbed, like a serial killer, or a congressman? My Christmas struggles began in 1974. “Hey, Trent,” I said as we Jason Offutt walked to the dugout for Little League batting practice (we needed it). “I’m getting G.I. Joe with Kung Fu Grip for Christmas.” Nine is a tough age. It’s just young enough you still want toys as presents, but just old enough you don’t act like you want them. “It’s June,” Trent said. I nodded. “Yeah, so?” I didn’t actually know a G.I. Joe with Kung Fu Grip would be in my future, but I really wanted it to be. The ads during cartoons wouldn’t let me think otherwise. That year was a perfect storm of Kung Fu. The David Carradine martial arts Western TV show “Kung Fu” was in its second full season, one of the most popular songs was Carl Douglas’ “Kung Fu Fighting,” and the Kung Fu superhero cartoon “Hong Kong Phooey” (voiced by the legendary Scatman Crothers), was on ABC every Saturday morning. Then Hasbro came out with G.I. Joe with Kung Fu Grip. G.I. Joe’s hard plastic hands had always been awkward. Pinched in a way no human hands would ever form, Joe’s hands were designed to hold a knife, pistol, rifle, canteen, binoculars, and quite possibly a bottle of Jack Daniels. This was the 1970s. But Kung Fu Grip Joe’s hands were rubber and could bend to grab the aforementioned gun, or whiskey, in one hand, while cradling a newborn with the other. Like every nine-year-old boy in America, I not only wouldn’t shut up about the new G.I. Joe, I couldn’t shut up about it. Then one afternoon, after five and a half months of constant parental torture, I found a Christmas package with the label “Jason” tucked under Mom and Dad’s bed. It sat atop an identical package labeled “Greg.” I pulled mine out and carefully unwrapped the red reindeer Christmas paper. You know how it feels during your first kiss? Or the first time you held someone you loved? Well, it wasn’t like that at all because I was nine and this was only a toy. But I’m surprised I didn’t pee, just a little. I played with my G.I Joe with Kung Fu Grip every day I could sneak him out, battling Germans if I were in a WWII mood, or Soviets if I felt end-of-the-worldish. Then his hand broke, the rubber finger nubs dangling free like something from a horror movie. I panicked. What’s a guy supposed to do with a broken Christmas present he wasn’t supposed to know about? What sort of horrors might follow me for Christmas’s to come? What … oh, yeah. I switched my broken G.I. Joe with Greg’s brand new one. On Christmas morning I opened my fresh G.I. Joe and acted like I’d just won the Iris lottery. I don’t know what Greg did. He opened his at his home in Colorado. I still don’t feel badly about it. See what I mean about Christmas? It brings out the worst in us. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

particularly for local communities like ours. It needs to chronicle the important events and activities of the community not only for the day’s information but for historic notation. And by community I mean the entire area. Personally, I am happy to see Tony Brown return to the Forum. He was the lone reporter in the dying days of the previous Forum ownership. He writes well and knows the community as well as anyone. I have not written on this subject at the request of the new regime. I just want to celebrate the creation of a renewed Maryville Daily Forum for which I have written this weekly column for thirty years. It is a joy to see the newspaper in the hands of local people dedicated to the local area and to good journalism. I hope each reader enjoys the revived paper. If so, tell your friends and neighbors that it is safe, again, to subscribe and become a regular reader of the Forum. Local newspapers can only survive if they can substantiate a significant readership. The Maryville Daily Forum must survive because we citizens deserve the local news and local perspective that it brings. And the local merchants and businesses need a daily (in this case five days a week) outlet that informs their potential customers of their contemporary goods and services. –Dr. Richard Fulton is a Department of History, Humanities, Philosophy and Political Science professor at Northwest Missouri State University Emeritus and writes a weekly column for the Maryville Daily Forum.

From the Pulpit
The music has started…again
It must be getting close to Christmas. It has started once again. The sounds of Christmas music can be heard over the speakers in department stores, all of the radio stations that usually play good music and if you choose to go to church, “carols sung by a choir.” Almost every advertisement alludes to finding the perfect present as we hear from talking snowmen, reindeer, polar bears, elves, grandma, car dealers and sometimes that jolly old Santa himself. A nighttime drive through the neighborhood is more entertaining as our attention is drawn to lighted Christmas characters in the front yard, on roof tops and decorated trees framed by picture windows. Some electric and inflated reminders of the season are simple and some took the skill of a doctorate in electrical engineering. Even the weather seems to help out. The chill of the wind carrying specks of frozen crystals across our yard and street remind us that the time is near for celebrating Christmas. And, I know that Christmas is quickly approaching because of the flurry of e-mails and Facebook rants that remind me that there is a war being waged against Christmas. I received one recent notification that included an image of hand-grenades beneath the decorated tree, with the caption that I was at war with those who apparently were trying to destroy “my Christmas.” I guess I was being recruited into the army of Christmas, standing guard against the enemy which would destroy all that I cherish about the holiday and its true meaning. I am told signs that the war against Christmas is raging are all around me. If I just look at the people who use Xmas in their written greetings, I will see that some are trying to remove “Christ” from Christmas. But, if memory serves me, “X” has been an abbreviated symbol for Jesus as the Christ, the first ancient letter for the title, since before there was a holiday celebrated. In our nation’s capital, we have what many refer officially to as a “holiday tree” instead of a Christmas tree. During this time of year, I recall that several belief systems about God’s presence in the world, celebrate together – so while I have no hesitancy calling the decorated spruce a Christmas tree, others in this complex culture we call America, might call it something else. Their choice does nothing to force me to change mine. And, I need no public or government protection to make my Christmas, Christmas. Christmas began as a love gift, born in the heart of God. Beginning in the heart, that love was expressed in the birth of a child in a distant land many generations ago. That love gift continues to be shared through that life and the lives of all who let that same love live in their hearts. When I remember and celebrate the gift, the only real expression comes not because of what is happening around me, but what has happened within me. Because Xmas is within me, I will say Merry Christmas to all I meet. Because that same reality lives within me, more than one day a year, I may even say Happy Holidays. There is no war on Christmas – that war was won in a stable in Bethlehem and love’s victory was announced with a baby’s cry. W. Dale Stewart First Christian Church of Maryville

In arrears
The prospective corporate owners of the vacant Carbolytic Materials Company plant, pictured above, have entered into a written agreement with the Nodaway County Commission to pay more than a quarter-million dollars in back personal property taxes by the end of December.
CMC
Continued from Page 1A Resources looking askance at the facility and asking pointed questions about the plant’s safety procedures and environmental integrity. According to County Assessor Rex Wallace, the delinquent taxes are the result of a misunderstanding over a tax abatement package hammered together by Nodaway County Economic Development and awarded to CMC when it first came to town. Company executives, Wallace said, assumed the abatement covered all property taxes, when, in fact, it was only intended to forgive around 15 cents per $100 of assessed valuation

Saving the wall could mean that the mural will have to be destroyed, but neither Wong nor Wiederholt know yet if that is the case. Wong said he made the temporary repairs in order to buy time while both he and City Hall decide on a permanent solution. The Polling mural is one of four commissioned by Maryville Citizens for Community Action, which spent several years raising money through private donations. The other artworks are scattered along Main Street between Halsey and the square. Polling also painted the southernmost mural, located at Pa-
that is the only tax Nodaway County proper collects. The real bill was closer to $7 per $100 of assessed valuation and included levies 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, Jenkins said. 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. In addition to failing to pay taxes, CMC also left Maryville Public Safety’s fire division holding the bag following a large fire outside the plant gliai’s Pizza, 611 S. Main St., which commemorates the 2004 Northwest Missouri State University centennial. The other two paintings were created by Maryville art teacher and coach Brian Lohafer and Bob Walkenhorst, a Kansas City-based artist and musician who graduated from Northwest in the 1970s. Lohafer’s mural depicts various athletics logos used over the years by the Maryville High School Spoofhounds and Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats. The painting by Walkenhorst, completed in 2009, shows the Forsyth House, an ornate late-19th century residence that stood at the current location of the Citizens Bank & Trust building. The damaged Poling mural depicts five people from Maryville who either achieved national prominence or who figure quite significantly in local
in February 2012 that damaged 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. The fire was the fourth in a series of incidents at CMC over a period of about 18 months. The string of mishaps included two fires inside the plant and a large 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. history. They include screenwriter and novelist Homer Croy; opera impresario Sarah Caldwell; self-improvement guru Dale Carnegie; Mary Graham, for whom the town was named after its founding in the 1840s; and a woman known as “Aunt” Betsy Robinson, who had a fondness for unusual pets. Poling said after his painting was damaged that the wall behind it was prepped by workers who drilled mortices into the brick and filled them with wooden tenons designed to support a metal grid. The grid was then overlaid with stucco and coated with primer to create the surface on which the artist worked. Polling was paid around $8,000 for the painting, a commission that did not include the cost of wall preparation.
New Mexico attorney general sues to cease horse slaughter SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico’s top prosecutor filed a lawsuit Thursday in state district court in an attempt to block a planned horse slaughter plant from opening in less than two weeks. The move by Attorney General Gary King comes after a federal appeals court rolled back a court order that had kept Valley Meat Co. from starting operations earlier this fall. Owner Rick De Los Santos has been making plans to open Jan. 1, and his attorney said Thursday that those plans haven’t changed. Attorney Blair Dunn called King’s lawsuit frivolous and a waste of taxpayer money. Under state law, he said if a judge issues a restraining order or preliminary injunction, a security bond would have to be posted by the state while the legal challenge winds its way through the court. That could cost New Mexico as much as $435,000 a month, he said. “As a New Mexican, as a taxpayer, I’m beyond offended and I think it’s almost criminal what they’re doing. They’re wasting everybody’s money,” Dunn said. King defended the lawsuit, saying Valley Meat stands to violate state laws related to food safety, water quality and unfair business practices. “I believe that the operation of this plant in New Mexico is antithetical to the way we do business in New Mexico,” King said. “We don’t eat horses in New Mexico, and we think this is an inappropriate use of this plant.” King’s office also disputed claims that it would have to pay any kind of bond because the lawsuit involves alleged violations of the state’s Unfair Practices Act. Valley Meat and proposed plants in Missouri and Iowa have been the targets of animal protection groups trying to
block the slaughtering of horses. Valley Meat began leading the effort to resume domestic horse slaughter two years ago after Congress lifted its ban on the practice. In August, as plants in the three states were preparing to open, The Humane Society of the United States and other animal protection groups sued to contest the Department of Agriculture’s permitting process. A federal judge in Albuquerque issued a temporary restraining order, prompting the Iowa company to convert its operations to beef. U.S. District Judge Christine Armijo threw out the lawsuit in November, allowing all three companies to proceed. The animal protection groups appealed to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which issued an emergency motion that again blocked the plants from opening. The appellate court lifted that order last week, saying the groups “failed to meet their burden for an injunction pending appeal.” Animal Protection of New Mexico and Front Range Equine Rescue were among the groups throwing their support behind King’s lawsuit on Thursday. According to the lawsuit, Valley Meat has a history of violating state and federal environmental and safety laws while operating as a beef slaughterhouse. The state says Valley Meat’s failure to monitor and test water samples as part of its past discharge permits dates back decades. The company is also accused of disposing of carcasses illegally. Dunn challenged the state’s claims and accused King, a Democrat who is running for governor, of politicizing the case. While it could be weeks before the state district court rules on King’s request, Dunn said Valley Meat will continue to prepare for operations to begin. The company says it has multiple international contracts lined up.

STATE BRIEFS Evangel cutting staff SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Officials at Evangel University say the college in Springfield will eliminate 12 staff positions, beginning Jan. 3 Carol Taylor, Evangel’s president-elect and CEO, announced Thursday that seven currently vacant staff positions won’t be filled and six faculty contracts will not be renewed in the fall. Some current jobs will be consolidated. The school said in a news release that the moves come as the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, Central Bible College and Evangel merge. The university says it has reduced its budget by just over $1 million, a 2.7 percent reduction from last year. Evangel is a Christian university with a seminary in Springfield. The university has more than 2,500 students from 48 states and abroad.
Lawmakers feud with Nixon JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers responsible for the budget have an agreement on a revenue estimate for next year’s budget but say Gov. Jay Nixon did not sign off on it. Legislative budget leaders and the governor typically reach a revenue estimate that is the foundation for the budget. Agreeing how much money is available lets officials focus on how to spend that money. On Thursday, House Budget Committee Chairman Rick Stream and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Kurt Schaefer said they will use an estimate of 4.2 percent growth in revenues. The lawmakers say Nixon’s office sought an estimate they do not think can be supported. Nixon says he will propose a “fiscally responsible budget.” He says the economy is gaining steam and officials have an opportunity to invest in students and schools.

City building nears completion By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff Reporter
A pair of storms in August 2011 destroyed the city of Maryville water/ sewer maintenance building north of town. It’s taken a while, but exterior construction of a new maintenance barn is essentially complete, and the facility should be fully operational by spring. “We actually had some damage two weeks before (the 2011 storms) when a windstorm came through,” Water and Sewer Maintenance Superintendent Eric Lance said. “But then when the next one hit it leveled the middle part of the building.” The city council approved a contract with Smith Contracting Co. of Maryville for 314,900 to build a structure featuring multiple overhead doors. That contract was later amended due to a mix-up on the type of heating system called for in the initial plans. Getting the right system installed raised to cost to $319,326, most of which was covered by insurance. “I really wanted the heat in the floor,” Lance said. “I believe the benefit of it will be a lot nicer to have. You’re always heating the concrete and once that cools down it’s hard to get it warmed back up.” The floor will be heated in three

The middle section will be used mainly as a washing station for equipment while the outside sections will be used for storage.

Heated garage bays mean the equipment will be ready for use at a moment’s notice. “This (new building) is definitely going to give us a lot better function through our work process, cleaning our equipment and keeping it all inside,” Lance said. “It’s definitely nice and will help us maintain our equipment better.”
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Gov. Jay Nixon has chosen a fourth-generation northwest Missouri farmer to head the state Department of Agriculture. Nixon announced the appointment of Richard Fordyce, effective immediately, at a news conference Thursday in Rushville. Fordyce grows soybeans and corn and raises beef cattle near Bethany. He has been chairman of Missouri’s Soil and Water Districts Commission since 2008 and is a former president of the Harrison County Farm Bureau. Fordyce will succeed former Agriculture Director Jon Hagler, whom Nixon abruptly replaced in October. Hagler’s departure came a day after an agency employee distributed a letter saying she was resigning because of what she called a hostile work environment. Hagler has said the timing was coincidental and denied leading the agency with hostility or intimidation “Richard Fordyce has held leadership roles in agriculture on the local, state and national level for more than 20 years,” Nixon said. “His experience and understanding of rural Missouri have earned him the respect of his fellow farmers, and I am pleased to appoint him to lead the state agency that works hand in hand with the Show-Me State’s agricultural community.” Since Hagler’s departure the department has been led by acting Director Harry Bozoian, who will remain on Fordyce’s staff as deputy director. Fordyce received the 2012 Soil Conservationist of the Year award from the Conservation Federation of Missouri and has held leadership positions with the Harrison County Farm Bureau, including a term as president from 1993-2010. His other professional affiliations include the National Biodiesel Board, the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council, Agricultural Leaders of Tomorrow, University of Missouri Extension, Northwest Missouri State Fair, Soybean Board and Future Farmers of America. Fordyce has also served
Richard Fordyce
as a member of the South Harrison R-II School Board, on the Green Hills Regional Planning Commission, the Sherman Township board of trustees, and on the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri. He has also served on advisory groups set by by U.S. Rep. Sam Graves and former U.S. senators Kit Bond and Jim Talent. The director of the state Department of Agriculture determines department policy and serves as a liaison to state legislators and the greater agriculture community. In addition to the divisions of Business Development, Animal Health, Grain Inspection and Warehousing, Plant Industries, and Weights and Measures, the department includes the Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Development Authority, the Missouri State Fair Board, the State Milk Board and the Missouri Wine and Grape Board. “Agriculture remains the backbone of Missouri’s economy, and we commend Gov. Nixon for appointing someone of the caliber of Richard Fordyce as the Director of Agriculture,” said Missouri Farm Board President Blake Hurst. “Richard is first and foremost a farmer who understands the issues facing our industry every day. He has strong ties to Missouri’s agricultural community and has proven his leadership skills in several agriculture organizations. “We look forward to working with him on the opportunities and challenges facing Missouri farmers and ranchers.”
Northwest scientist publishes in top journal ‘This is real cutting-edge research’ Research by Northwest Missouri State University physicist Himadri Chakraborty recently appeared in Physical Review Letters, a topranked international journal for contemporary sciences. The title of Chakraborty’s paper is “Time Delay in the Recoiling Valence Photoemission of Ar Endohedrally Confined in C60.” He co-authored the article with two research
collaborators in Germany, Gopal Dixit and Mohamed El-Amine Madjet. The article describes a theoretical discovery which found that ultrashort flashes of light with just the right energy can shine on an atom confined in a fullerene nanometric cage and knock electrons out of various quantum levels. A fullerene is a form of carbon
having a large spheroid-shaped molecule consisting of a hollow cage of atoms. Nanometric refers to objects on the scale of a billionth of a meter. “This is a real cutting-edge research result and sets a brand new direction for our program,” Chakraborty said. Nanoscience is the study and use of materials at the super-molecular level, and nanoscale science applications are being developed in such fields as energy production, photography, optoelectronics, information
storage, and medicine. Northwest offers an interdisciplinary nanoscience program that includes laboratory experience at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Maryville campus. The discovery occurred as part of Chakraborty’s ongoing federallyfunded research program related to the spectroscopy of nanoparticles, particularly the soccer-ball-like fullerenes and their various derivatives.

The Maryville wrestling team came up just a few points short in its two duals earlier this week, losing by five to Gallatin and 6 to Penney (Hamilton). Against Gallatin, Nathaniel Alexander, Dane Hull, Cody Jackson, Brendan Weybrew and Thomas Schwienebert all won by pin. Meric Sheehan won by decision as a result of an illegal move, on which he was injured. With on open class for the Spoofhounds, Gallatin escaped with a 41-36 victory. Three open classes against Penney also hurt the Spoofhounds, as the fell 42-36 despite getting pins from Alexander, Logan Zimmerman, Hull, Schwienebert, Trevor Zimmerman and Weybrew.

Maryville’s energy leads to win
By JASON LAWRENCE Sports Editor
The Maryville girls basketball team came into Thursday night’s contest with a different attitude and an energy level Jefferson just couldn’t match as the Lady ’Hounds prevailed 39-25. “I think we knew that we had a good shot at winning this game, so we went into it with the right mindset,” Maryville assistant coach Phil Stone said. “It was just a whole-nether level in intensity and energy and that was probably the difference tonight.” Maryville gave up four quick points, but then settled in defensively, keeping
the Lady Eagles off the scoreboard for a few minutes with their press. “Their pressure got to us,” Jefferson head coach Tyler Pedersen said. “They did a good job setting the tempo and got us going fast and making decisions on the move. Unfortunately, they forced us into some unnecessary turnovers. Jessie Henry used her size to her advantage early to help put the Spoofhounds into the early hole. “She catches around the basket and she’s got a nice height advantage on some girls,” Pedersen said. “She does a nice job of getting herself strong and finishes a lot of shots for us.”
Jefferson led 10-8 after one, but Maryville came back to take a 19-17 lead at halftime. And the third quarter belonged to the Spoofhounds. Maryville limited the Lady Eagles to just four third-quarter points while putting up 13 of their own and seeing some shots that hadn’t fallen earlier this season start to drop. “Once we hit the second half, it just seemed to go our way,” Stone said. The shots were finally falling — the shots that we couldn’t hit against South Harrison (Tuesday night), we were making them tonight. Once a couple of shots got hit, it just seemed like a different See ENERGY, pg. 8B

Thrilling NWMO tournament comes to close this weekend
By STEVE HARTMAN Staff Writer
Nodaway County’s basketball spotlight has been focused on Northeast Nodaway high school this week, as it’s hosted the 2013 edition of the Northwest Missouri High School Basketball Tournament. There are six teams entered in the tournament, so both the girls and boys teams have been divided into three-team pools based on overall seeding, and round-robin action in each pool took place Monday-Wednesday. Monday night’s four-game slate kicked off with a girls contest between No. 5 seed Craig-Fairfax and top-seeded Nodaway Holt, and the Lady Trojans jumped out to a quick 12-2 first-quarter lead and never looked back, downing the Lady Bulldogs 60-26. Nodaway-Holt’s full-court pressure made it difficult for the Lady Bulldogs to get anything going offensively and led to several easy buckets for the top-seeded Lady Trojans. Senior three-time all-state guard Megan Rosenbohm paced the Lady Trojans all evening long with her scoring, rebounding and playmaking on the way to a 28-point, 10-rebound, five-assist game. Jaylee Holmes added 14 points and six rebounds to the balanced Nodaway-Holt offensive attack, which featured eight different girls in the
scoring column. Game two featured the top-seeded Nodaway-Holt boys playing No. 4 seed, CraigFairfax. The Trojans used their superior size inside, featuring the scoring of Jackson Beattie, to jump out to a 24-16 halftime lead. The third quarter then proved to be decisive, as the Trojans turned up the defensive pressure and continued their dominance on the boards to extend their lead to 38-22 en route to a 59-45 victory. Beattie led the Trojan offensive attack with 20 points, with teammate Brice Shamberger pitching in 18 points. Cody Schiedemeyer paced the rebounding effort for Nodaway-Holt, hauling in eight rebounds. South Nodaway, seeded second on the girls side, took control quickly of their game with the No. 6 seeded Lady Rockets of West Nodaway with a 21-3 first quarter effort and cruised to a 57-10 victory. South Nodaway used a strong defensive effort, including a devastating fullcourt press, to put the game away early. Eleven different Lady Longhorns scored, paced by Kristen Nielsen’s 12 points. Additional South Nodaway scoring came from Meaghan McConkey with nine points, Erin Salsbury and Mallory McConkey with seven points each and Allison Hilsabeck with six points. West Nodaway was paced by Melody McGinness’s four points. See NWMO TOURNEY, pg. 2B

The Monday evening nightcap provided the only upset of the night, as third-seeded South Nodaway downed No. 2 seed West Nodaway 57-52. Dalton Murphy paced the Longhorns with a double-double, scoring 16 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Nick Bloom added 10 points for South Nodaway, who held off a furious second-half charge by West Nodaway, after leading 26-14 at half. The Rockets were led by point guard Trevor Meyer, who scored 18 points, including 16 in the second half. Jonathon Madere had a double-double for the Rockets with 13 points and 15 rebounds and Jaden Gillenwater added 10 points for West Nodaway. Tuesday night’s tournament action began with a boy’s game, and it proved to be a very competitive and entertaining game, as fifthseeded Northeast Nodaway downed fourthseeded Craig-Fairfax 76-73. It was a tale of two halves, as the Bluejays used their up-tempo offense to build a 4331 halftime lead. In the second half, CraigFairfax used hot shooting by Brody Cooper, Grant Hopkins and Keifer Nemyer and Bluejay foul trouble with their post players to get back in the game, which wasn’t decided until the final buzzer sounded. Point guard Shaun Burns scored 28 points for the Bluejays, including 18 in a 29-point Northeast Nodaway second quarter. Post Joel Scroggie, despite foul trouble limiting his minutes, scored 19 points and snared 13 rebounds and Steve Schulte added 18 points for Bluejays. Game two on Tuesday night produced another nail-biter, as the Lady Mustangs of North Nodaway snuck past the Lady Bulldogs of Craig-Fairfax 48-46. North Nodaway, seeded fourth, had to rally from a 27-20 halftime deficit to get by the fifth-seeded Lady Bulldogs. The third quarter proved to be the decisive quarter in the contest, as North Nodaway out-scored Craig-Fairfax 16-8. Sam Frueh led North Nodaway in scoring with 15 points, while Madison Thompson added 13 points and 13 rebounds in the winning effort. In Tuesday’s third game, the second-seeded West Nodaway boys cracked the win column in the tournament with a 58-36 victory over North Nodaway.
The Rockets raced to a 30-12 halftime lead and were never challenged from that point on. Meyer led a group of four Rockets who reached double figures in scoring with 20 points. Gillenwater, Madere and Ryan Evens added 11, 10 and 10 points, respectively. North Nodaway was paced by Fred Rios and Tristan Wray with eight points each, while Dakota Smyser added seven. The Tuesday night finale saw the thirdseeded Northeast Nodaway girls double up six seed West Nodaway by a 52-26 margin. The Lady Jays full-court defensive pressure caused several Lady Rocket turnovers, which Northeast Nodaway turned into easy baskets. Nine different Lady Jays broke into the scoring column and they were paced by 16 points from Dallis Coffelt, while fellow post Taryn Farnan added nine points. West Nodaway was paced by a 10-point, sevenrebound effort by Emily Cordell and Alyson Dye added 8 points for the Lady Rockets. The final night of pool play saw one close game and three games that ended with convincing victories. In the opening contest, the NodawayHolt girls used a stifling full-court press and saw eight different girls score en route to a 68-47 victory over North Nodaway. North Nodaway grabbed an early 9-6 lead midway through quarter No. 1, but NodawayHolt’s defensive pressure allowed the Lady Trojans to take a 28-15 lead into the locker room at halftime. Rosenbohm again paced the Lady Trojan effort with 27 points, five rebounds and eight assists. Teammate Kalli Devers added 14 points and five rebounds to the winning cause, while Macie Bohannon added six points. Cambry Schluter led North Nodaway with 10 points, while Breann O’Riley added nine and Madison Thompson scored eight points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Lady Mustangs. In game two of the evening, the South Nodaway boys held off a pesky North Nodaway squad and posted a 43-39 victory. North Nodaway grabbed a 15-10 first quarter lead, but trailed 24-23 at half. An 11-3 third quarter in favor of the Longhorns left the Mustangs facing a 35-26 deficit, which proved to be more than the Mustangs could overcome. Damien Willmore led South Nodaway with 12 points.

Put your energy into making self-improvements if you want to be successful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Avoid procrastinating and gossiping with your peers. Focus on completing your work, and you will be noticed for your hard work and integrity. Advancement is within reach. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your partner may be feeling rejected. You must open up the channels of communication, or problems will arise. A secret or untoward relationship with a colleague could develop if you’re not careful.
scene and supplied the paintings and had a bit part -- I was bidding against Meryl Streep.” Except for the occasional passout, every bridge deal begins with the bidding. It is intended primarily to help the side with the balance of power, but each call gives information to the opponents. In this deal, South opened one spade in the second seat, and North responded three spades, a game-invitational limit raise. Now South should have raised to four spades because it was unlikely that North could cover all of South’s losers. However, South control-bid four clubs, hoping North had the spade king-queen, diamond ace and a singleton heart. North control-bid four diamonds. And South signed off in four spades, telling the world that he did not have a heart control. Then North, since he did not have one either, passed. Now it was easy for West to lead the heart nine. East
won with his jack, cashed the heart ace and heart king, then led his last heart. Should South have ruffed high or low? The auction told West what to lead. But it also told South, who almost certainly held the spade queen. East passed as dealer, but had already produced 10 high-card points in hearts. If he had held the spade queen too, he surely would have opened the bidding. So South ruffed with his spade ace, ran the spade jack through West, and made his contract.

we’re doing.” Then once

flipped to the fourth quarter, the Spoofhounds began their come-
back attempt. “Some people started clicking a little bit and they started playing better,” Kuwitzky said. Maryville out-scored Jefferson 15-11 in the quarter, but couldn’t climb all the way back out of the hole it had dug itself earlier in the game. “I thought they just consistently made it hard for us to score,” Kuwitzky said. “When we did get decent shots, they didn’t drop. We missed a lot in the paint tonight.” Jefferson’s Alex Holtman scored a game-high 12 points and Kyler Farnan added 11. Maryville was led by Mitch Worthington and Trent Nally, who each scored eight points. Jefferson heads into it winter break and will be off until Jan. 3, 2014 when it returns to the court against Worth County. “We’ve got to continue to grow,:” Jermain said. “Defensively, we’ve got to stay solid.” Maryville (3-5) will take four of the next six days off before playing Warrenton High School on Dec. 27 as part of the NCMC Shootout. “We’ve got some time off — I think a lot of them need some time off,” Kuwitzky said. “We didn’t get a break coming off of football, so we need some time off .... We’re going to have four days off and two days of practice before we play our next game.”
Maryville (2-5) moves next week into the St. Joseph Bishop LeBlond Tournament and Stone said they have some momentum moving into the first round contest against Falls City on Dec. 27. “I don’t know if I can stress how
much they really needed that ‘W’ tonight,” Stone said. “Going into the LeBlond Tournament next week, they’re going to feel like they have a shot against Falls City. I think they are going to go into that tournament with a confidence
that they can get all the way to the championship game and I think they’ve got a real shot.” Jefferson (3-5) is on winter break until Jan. 3, 2014 when they travel to face Worth County. “The girls are going to have
time off, then we have five practices before Worth County,” Pedersen said. “Christmas break is all about tweaking some things, maybe making some minor adjustments, but really trying to improve the things you’re doing.”

Jefferson controlled the pace early and withstood a late Maryville run Thursday night to improve to 7-1 on the season with a 44-38 victory. “We kind of came off a rough game our last game where we didn’t (control the tempo),” Jefferson head coach Tim Jermain said. “Defensively, we want to make sure we’re really intense and get what we want with our full-court pressure. I thought our defensive effort was just solid all night long.” Maryville head coach Mike Kuwitzky agreed and said Jefferson’s defense forced his team into some things it didn’t want to do. “They’re a good defensive team,” Kuwitzky said. “We were hurrying things. I thought their press bothered us and I thought their half-court defense bothered us — took us out of our offense. We got a little hurried there.” The Spoofhounds held tough early on and went into the second quarter tied at 11, but couldn’t sustain that level as Jefferson started pulling away in the second quarter behind that stingy defense. The Eagles led 21-15 at halftime and pushed its margin out to 33-23 by the end of the third quarter. “We got stops on the defensive end and were able to score on the
