Blaze destroys Grant City home on Christmas Eve By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

Christmas Eve tragedy
The Grant City home of Bob and Treasa Staton was destroyed by fire Christmas Eve. A local church is accepting donations on behalf of the couple and their three young children. Bob Staton had heart surgery last month and has been unable to work.
GRANT CITY, Mo. — An area family of five lost virtually all of their possessions on Christmas Eve when their Grant City residence was destroyed by fire. Bob and Treasa Staton, along with their children Macie, 12; Robby, 8; and Kara 7, were at home on Dec. 24 when they smelled smoke. Almost immediately, the structure was engulfed by heavy smoke, though the family managed to escape into the bitter winter cold without injury. The fire spread quickly through the small, wood-frame house, which burned to the ground. Officials aren’t yet sure what caused the fire but are continuing their investigation. The Statons are members of the Grant City Christian Church, and their loss has resulted in an outpouring of support from members of the congregation and other local residents. “The community has really stepped up,” said the Rev.

warrant. White said that suspicion gave officers sufficient probable cause to make the stop. Bombara managed to elude police and exit the city limits, said White, who added that officers had a good idea of Bombara’s likely destination. This led to the vehicle being intercepted by a deputy around 11 p.m. Following the stop, White said, the deputy began to suspect the presence of controlled substances in the truck, and the county’s drug detection dog, Jerik, was dispatched to the scene. The dog “alerted on the

Sheriff Darren White said Thursday that David Bombara Jr., 26, was taken into custody Dec. 17, after a pickup truck he was driving was pulled over during a traffic stop on a rural county road. The stop followed a report to the Sheriff’s Office by Maryville Public Safety that one of several passengers in the truck was possibly wanted on an active
truck,” White said, leading to the seizure of what authorities allege was approximately 100 grams of marijuana along with about two ounces of methamphetamine and several items described as drug paraphernalia. Bombara was arrested at the scene as was a passenger found to be the subject of an active warrant. White said the second person taken into custody was not the passenger originally identified by police. None of the other passengers were placed under arrest.

The steep slope rolling down onto the St. Gregory School playground has been a popular local sledding spot for years. Temperatures moderated yesterday after the severe cold that followed last weekend’s snowstorm. Look for clear skies and high temperatures in the 40s through Saturday before cold weather returns to Nodaway County Saturday night.

LOCAL/STATE NEWS BRIEFS A local organization that offers courage and comfort to the caregivers and friends of the very ill will host an informational meeting next month. May I Walk You Home? is sponsored by Nodaway County churches and SSM Hospice. The event will take place from 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 9, in the St. Francis Hospital boardroom. The session will center on recognizing the signs of approaching death and finding the right words to say to those facing the imminent loss of friends and loves ones. Presenters during the free event will include the Rev. Nanice Tobias and Michele Starke. To register, call Michele Moon at (660) 582-3893.
Dog and cat adoptions at the New Nodaway Humane Society were up in the final quarter of 2013 over the corresponding period in 2012, and much of that increase can be attributed to a half-price adoption program. Since Sept. 1 there have been 107 dogs and cats adopted, a significant increase from 75 adoptions during the corresponding dates in 2012, and adoption coordinator Sue Hoskey believes much of that increase can be attributed to the reduction in adoption fees. “I think the half-price adoption fee program was a major reason we had a significant increase in adoptions, along with increased adoption activity as the holidays approached.” Shelter Director Brian Reames said the increase in

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — More than 1,300 students who’ve been attending classes in temporary quarters since Joplin’s May 2011 tornado will head to newly built schools in January. Ten schools in the Joplin district were destroyed or heavily damaged by the EF-5 tornado that devastated parts of the city and the neighboring town of Duquesne. The new Irving Elementary School will open Jan. 6 when classes resume after the holiday break. The school will serve students from the old Irving Elementary as well as Emerson Elementary, which was also destroyed. Joplin school district students from the towns of Duquesne and Duenweg will attend Joplin’s new Soaring Heights Elementary. The school will share a kitchen and auditorium with the new East Middle School, which was only 2 years old when the old building was destroyed.
State to screen babies JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri is preparing to start screening every newborn baby for a heart disease that can cause developmental delays or death if left untreated. The screenings for critical congenital heart disease are required under a new state law that takes effect Jan. 1. The state Department of Health and Senior Services says an estimated 140 babies are born in Missouri each year with the disease. The noninvasive screenings measure oxygen in the blood and show if a newborn needs treatment with a catheter or surgery. More than 30 other states have added critical congenital heart disease to the list of disorders for which newborns are screened. The Missouri agency says the tests will prevent babies from being sent home with the risk of developing serious complications in the first few weeks of life.

FORUM FOCUS
The winner ... and still champion!
More than 1,300 respondents were overwhelmingly clear in their voting to decide which institution they consider to be the most outstanding school of journalism in the United States. The University of Missouri’s time-honored program was again the undisputed champion as determined by the 2013 nationwide poll conducted by NewsPro-RTDNA. Missouri easily claimed the top spot, followed in order by Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse. The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass communications at Arizona State University were tied for fifth, followed in the Top 10 by Ohio University’s E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communication, the University of Montana School of Journalism. The Electronic Journalism Arts Department at Lyndon (Vt.) State College, the University of North Carolina’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Phillip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland were in a three-way tie for 10th place. The survey is obviously heavy on the electronic media side of the house as it was conducted among members of the Radio Television Digital News Association, but it would be unrealistic to assume that the print media curriculums do not rank equally high. After all, the 105-year-old J-School in Columbia is the oldest in the country — followed, perhaps surprisingly, by the program at Montana — and created the Missouri Method, which enables students to actually become immersed in the reality of their craft. There are approximately 2,200 Mizzou journalism students who populate eight buildings dedicated to the teaching and practice of multiple disciplines within the field. All have access to top-grade equipment. A similar survey conducted by College Magazine included the journalism program at the University of Kansas with Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Northwestern, Ohio University and Syracuse in its top-tier of journalism schools. The cream always rises to the top.
A DECENT PROPOSAL
Five more holidays Americans should think about celebrating Holidays are … well, they’re amazing. These are days set up to honor people we don’t know, who did things we don’t remember, but drink to all the same. As an American, I’m pretty happy with our standard holidays. Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Memorial Day are all solid, as are Christmas, Easter, and Hanukah. I don’t even mind celebrations that make no logical sense, like Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, and New Year’s Day. If you think these celebrations make sense, you must be reading this on Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, or New Year’s Day. Sober up. But America must be hurting for decent holidays when we recognize Boss’s Day (yes, we gave you a mug saying you’re the best, but we’re just patronizing you), Confederate Memorial Day (you lost – 148 years ago. Get over it), Talk Like a Pirate Day (more productive than Groundhog Day) and Father’s/Mother’s/Grandparent’s Day (if you want to honor people who raised you, act like you have some sense). This is why I’m proposing the following useful holidays that will take the sting off days like Columbus Day (1. he didn’t discover America, and 2. he ordered a whole lot of native people killed just because) and President’s Day (yes to Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy and Reagan, no to Carter, Harrison, Wilson and LBJ). Here are the top five holidays I
think America should adopt because they’re generally awesome: 1. St. Urho Day: As legend goes, St. Urho, the patron saint of Finnish vineyard workers, protected prehistoric vineyards from invading hoards
Jason Offutt of gigantic grasshoppers by banishing the insects from the country. Finns everywhere dress in green and purple costumes on March 16 and get really drunk with the happy realization they’ll do it all again tomorrow on St. Patrick’s Day. 2. The Tinku Festival: Villagers in the Bolivian Andes take time out each May to honor the ancient Incan earth goddess Pachamama by beating the
holy hell out of each other. Pachamama demanded a blood sacrifice to provide a good harvest and since slicing open someone’s chest and removing the heart is now generally frowned upon, the villagers simply punch each other in the face. Great fun for the whole family. 3. La Tomatina: During the last Wednesday of August, up to 30,000 people in Buñol, Spain, pelt each other with tomatoes for an hour and a half for no apparent reason. Seriously. No one seems to know exactly why this festival started, which still makes more sense than Boss’s Day. 4. Beer Day: Iceland has a national drinking day the first day of March to honor the repeal of its 75-year ban on beer. The ENTIRE COUNTRY gets bombed. Cheers. 5. Nyepi Day. During the Lunar New Year (the first new moon after mid-March), the country of Bali observes a night of complete silence. No TV, no music, no talking. Given how loud Americans are, wouldn’t that be nice every once in a while? If we adopt Nyepi Day, I also propose it be the day after Beer Day. There. Five new holidays America can look forward to. I can’t wait to see Hallmark’s Tinku Festival card. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

Depriving yourself of treats over the holiday season can actually lead to more weight gain than the gain for people who do not restrict themselves, according to a 2008 study in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. This season, indulge in these low-calorie bite-size appetizers (recipes below). Just one will leave you satisfied without feeling like you let down your New Year’s resolution. Plus, the salmon cucumber cups contain essential fats to keep you healthy this holiday season. The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fish, such as salmon and tuna, each week to decrease risk of
cardiovascular disease. Creamy Salmon Cucumber Cups Serves: 24 pieces, or 8 servings All you need: 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese 1 tablespoon nonfat or 1% milk 4 scallions, white parts only, sliced 4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon 1/4 cup whipped cream cheese 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Pinch of freshly ground white pepper 2 large English cucumbers 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives All you do: Process the cottage cheese and milk in a food processor until smooth. Add the scallions, salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch of white pepper and process until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
Cut the cucumbers into 3/4-inchthick rounds, discarding the ends. Using a small spoon, scoop the seeds and some of the flesh out of each round to form a small cup. Fill each cup with about 2 teaspoons of the salmon whip and sprinkle with the chives. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 hour.

From the Pulpit
It is STILL Christmas
Step away from the Christmas tree! Do not undecorate it and stuff it into the box yet. The attic will be fine without the tree for a few more days. It is still Christmas. As the song reminds us, we do have 12 days of Christmas. While retail stores think Christmas begins in October and ends on Dec. 25, Christmas actually begins on December 25 and ends on January 6 (12 days later). Christmas ends with Epiphany, long after most of us have taken down our decorations and the “after Christmas sales” are history. Epiphany is a day on the calendar that is often forgotten. It marks the visit of the wise men, counselors, priests, magi, astrologers (pick one) from the East. They came to pay homage to the Christ child. Usually, Epiphany is crammed into our Christmas celebrations. The magi are typically played by rambunctious kids who can’t remember a single line in Christmas pageants. No offense to any past magi players. I was always either a magi or a shepherd – no lines, whatsoever. While adding the magi to the Christmas pageant provides a part for everyone, it takes away the unique importance of the Epiphany event. Epiphany is a significant festival in its own right. The coming of the magi “from the East” is a very clear message from Matthew that Jesus came for everyone. Matthew’s gospel starts with a genealogy of Jesus. Chapter one is primarily devoted to tracing Jesus’ lineage all the way back to Abraham. A quick glance at this beginning gives one the impression that Jesus came to save only a handful of God’s people. At the end of Matthew, chapter one, there are eight short verses about Jesus’ birth, with sparse details. Then, Matthew gives us Epiphany. Magi come from the East. Their place of origin is left ambiguous, but it is clearly beyond the reaches of Bethlehem, beyond the reaches of Israel and beyond the reaches of the Roman Empire. The magi came from the far reaches of civilization. Their camel train must have been quite a sight. Supplies, donkeys, guards and sacred scrolls in tow, they followed that star all the way to Jesus. It wasn’t the three lonely guys with small boxes of gold, frankincense and myrrh as depicted in our Christmas pageants. This was a massive caravan. Some scholars think it may have taken them three years to get to their destination. The length of the journey and the appearance of the magi are of no consequence to Matthew. With the visit of the magi, Matthew is clearly stating that the gospel is for everyone. The gospel is for the people of Bethlehem and it’s for the people of the East. As we shift from Christmas to Epiphany to the New Year, Matthew’s message is worthy of reflection. The past year has seen growing division in our country, not to mention the world. It’s alright to be passionate about health care plans, taxation and foreign policy initiatives. However, Matthew reminds us that the gospel brings hope to everyone. The gospel brings hope to people of all income levels, political party affiliations and races. The gospel brings hope to the people of Iran, Syria and Afghanistan (countries very much east of the United States). I have stepped in the mud pie of “religion and politics” and tracked it across the living room floor, but reframing things is a good practice from time to time. Epiphany is a great reminder that God’s love for us is bigger than the things which divide us. God’s love is big enough to bring hope to the north, south, east and west. God’s love is more powerful than death itself. That is something to celebrate. Merry Christmas! Rev. Jonathan Mitchell First Presbyterian Church Maryville, Mo.

2014 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
JASON LAWRENCE/DAILY FORUM
Take it to the hole
Jefferson senior Alex Holtman jump-stopped prior to putting up a layup in the Eagles’ victory over Maryville earlier this season. The Eagles are off to a 7-1 start and are looking to improve as the calendar turns to 2014.
Jefferson looks to continue success
By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff Writer
Editor’s note: The Daily Forum will be previewing every high school team in Nodaway County as the 2014 portion of the season approaches. This is the first installment in the series, which will be published over the next several weeks. Jefferson is off to it’s normal strong start and looks to continue it’s early-season success when the season picks back up after winter break. Head coach Tim Jermain, whose 512-146 career record earned him a spot in the 2010 class of the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, led his team to a 17-10 record last year. The season ended with the Eagles grabbing a share of the Platte Valley Conference championship. The Eagles came out of the gate strong, starting the season 7-1. The
only blemish on their record came back on Dec. 17 in a lopsided 61-36 loss to Mound City. Jemain, who is assisted by Charley Burch, returns seniors Tyler Merrigan, Mason Eckstein, Alex Holtman and Kyler Farnan. Farnan received All-Conference honors for his performance last season. Holtman, Farnan, Eckstein, Merrigan and sophomore Bryce Deen round out the current starting line up for the Eagles. Sophomores Ben Jermain, Jason Sullivan and Corby Walker, seniors Zach Carmicahel and Joseph Hutson and freshmen Caden Farnan round out the deep bench for the Eagles. “This team has gotten off to a great start against a very competitive schedule,” Jermain said. “Our depth has been our strength. Our depth allows us to utilize our full court defense. The challenge will be for the team to continue to improve.” Jefferson has consistently fielded a good basketball in the past. After los-
ing in the second round of the district tournament last year to Mercer, the Eagles are looking to improve. “Our goal at the beginning of the season was to continue to improve and be the best team we could be by district time,” Jermain said. “Along the way, we want to do well in tournament play and our conference play.” The Eagles play in the Platte Valley Conference along with DeKalb, Osborn, North Andrew, Northeast Nodaway, South Nodaway, Stewartsville and Union Star. “Our conference is very competitive,” Jermain said. “North Andrew will only keep getting better as they have more time to prepare after football. Stewartsville played well in the conference tournament. South Nodaway has had early-season success. Overall I think the conference is very balanced.” The Eagles will return to the hardwood following winter break on Jan. 3, hosting the Worth County Tigers.

Spoofhounds ready to play for LeBlond tourney title again By JASON LAWRENCE Sports Editor
Maryville has always experienced success in the St. Joseph Bishop LeBlond Tournament, and head coach Grant Hageman expects this year to be no different. “We have an opportunity to get back into the championship game,” Hageman said. “We’ve been in that thing now for seven years. That’s always a goal — to play for first in that tournament and we’ve always done that, for the last seven or eight years. That’s the goal and I think it’s very attainable for this team.” Hageman said the key is to carry over the momentum from the Dec. 19 victory over Jefferson — the last time the team was on the court. “We’ve played a lot better as far as execution,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of young players and I think they’re slowly figuring out what we’re trying to accomplish.” While the championship game is on the Lady ‘Hounds’ radar, they are focusing on their first round opponent, Falls City (Neb.), and its zone defense. “Falls City plays a lot of zone,” Hageman said. “We’ve played well against zone, we’ve struggled against zone. I’m encouraged by what we’re doing in practice as far as execution versus the zone getting better, but you still have to have shots fall. That’ll be the key. The girls have to realize shooting is contagious and if they keep their heads up, keep shooting and have confidence, those shots will fall.” As far as the team executes and limits turnovers, Hageman said he likes his team’s odds in the first round. “As long as we execute and take care of the ball so we get plenty of opportunities to shoot, I like our chances,” he said. The girls tip off against Falls City at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon. Their next opponent will come from the 4:30 p.m. matchup. Tarkio takes on Mid-Buchanan at 4:30 p.m. With a win, the Spoofhounds would play in the second round at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. With a loss, they would play at 10:30 a.m. Hageman said he wasn’t looking too far ahead in the tournament, despite not having seen much from many of the teams in the tournament. “We haven’t seen a lot of some of the other teams in the tournament,” Hageman said. “We’re very focused on what we’re doing. What we’re doing right, what we’re doing wrong.” On the other side of the bracket, host Bishop LeBlond will play Rock Port at 7:30 p.m. tonight and University Academy will face off against East Buchanan in the early contest, at 10:30 a.m. Other second round games will be played at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. The championship game will be played at 5 p.m. Dec. 30 while the consolation game will be played at 11 a.m. and the third place contest will take place at 2 p.m. See TOURNAMENT, Page 8

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LeBron James was announced Thursday as The Associated Press’ 2013 Male Athlete of the Year, becoming the third basketball player to capture the award that has been annually awarded since 1931. James received 31 of 96 votes cast in a poll of news organizations, beating Peyton Manning (20) and Jimmie Johnson (7).

Hageman said tournaments like this one give him a chance to find out more about his team heading into the heart of the conference schedule in January and February. “I’ve always liked it because January and February is where you start to get into the meat of your schedule as far as conference opponents and things like that,” Hageman said. “You play these three games, sometimes there’s not a lot of preparation, but you find out a lot about your team and about your players and that helps you in January because you have a little bit more practice before you get back into games again. You can kind of retool, refine exactly what you need to do to hopefully make a good run in conference and keep the momentum going

so obviously are playing your best basketball at the end.” The Spoofhound boys will be playing on game in the North Central Missouri College Shootout, facing off against Warrenton in Trenton at 5:30 p.m. tonight. Both Maryville teams will then have some more time off before resuming action the second week in January. The girls play at Lafayette Jan. 10 while the boys’ first game in 2014 is at home against Lafayette on Jan. 7. The rest of the County’s teams return to action in January, as well. Jefferson opens back up against Worth County at home on Jan. 3 and Northeast Nodaway hosts Mercer Jan. 3 also. Nodaway-Holt hosts North Andrew Jan. 7 and North Nodaway is at South Holt on Jan. 6 while South Nodaway hosts Stanberry and West Nodaway is at South Page (Iowa) on Jan. 6.
Olympics as a sprinter. But after helping the Longhorns win a national title as a freshman, Charles gave up track to focus on football. By the time he was a junior, he was the heir to a legacy created by Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams. “He was just a cut above,” said Greg Davis, then the Longhorns’ offensive coordinator and now an assistant at Iowa. “He had all the physical tools, and it was so important to him.” One memory that stands out to Davis came during the second game of Charles’ freshman season, when Texas visited Ohio State. The Buckeyes’ star linebacker, A.J. Hawk, picked off a pass, and “all of a sudden a blur shows up and there’s a heck of a collision, and it’s Jamaal.” “He’d come sprinting across the field and made the tackle,” Davis said. “Extraordinary.” Charles left school a year early for the NFL and was the Chiefs’ third-round choice in 2009. The pick was roundly criticized because Kansas City already had a star running back in Larry Johnson, and there were more pressing needs. Eventually, it became impossible to keep Charles off the field. He became a regular by his second year, ran for more than 1,400 yards in his third and appeared to be on the path to greatness. But then a freak misstep in Detroit in 2011 — Charles slipped on the plastic firstdown marker on the sideline — resulted in a torn ACL. Charles wondered what effect the injury would have on his career. “That’s the worst injury I could ever go
Serena Williams was honored Wednesday as The Associated Press’ 2013 Female Athlete of the Year. It’s the third AP award for Williams, following 2002 and 2009. Only two women have been chosen more often as AP Athlete of the Year since the annual awards were first handed out in 1931. She received 55 of 96 votes, while Brittney Griner finished second with 14. through,” he said. “People forget about you, especially when you get hurt, so I took a lot from when I tore my ACL. “I approach things differently today. I don’t take anything for granted.” That’s a big reason why he’s all smiles these days. After running for more than 1,500 yards last season, Charles is leading a renaissance for Kansas City. He has a leagueleading 18 touchdowns to go with more than 1,800 yards from scrimmage, making him the most productive running back in the league. He’s also a huge reason the Chiefs, who languished through a 2-14 season in 2012, are 11-4 going into the regular season finale against San Diego. “I don’t know how anybody could be more valuable to a team’s success than he is,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “He’s got this competitive toughness to him. He’s relentless. That’s a very tough position to play in the National Football League, very tough. You take a heck of a beating and on Mondays you just don’t want to get out of bed, but he handles it.” In record-setting fashion, too. Charles is averaging 5.55 yards per carry for his career, on pace to shatter Hall of Famer Jim Brown’s record of 5.22 yards. Charles also needs just 148 yards rushing to break the franchise record of 6,070 held by Priest Holmes. Then again, records don’t mean much to Charles. “The most fun is winning, you know what I’m saying?” Charles said. “It puts a smile on everybody’s face, going out there and playing hard for your teammates. Go out there and make not just me happy, but my family happy and the fans. And I feel like we’re getting back to a winning system, and I love winning.”

lieves the long run doesn’t matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.” At bridge, the short run -one deal -- may determine the long run -- your success in the event. And in that onedeal short run, counting will probably be required. In this deal, South is in four hearts. West leads the spade nine. East takes three tricks in the suit (West discarding the club three) and continues with his fourth spade. What should South do? Note South’s three-club rebid. He was right not to jump to four hearts, because North might have raised to two hearts with only three cards in the suit, especially when he had a singleton spade. A typical hand pattern would have been 1-3-5-4. Then maybe five or even six clubs might have been better than four hearts. North, though, knowing of the eight-card fit, happily jumped to four hearts. South has four minor-suit
winners (three diamonds and one club), so needs six trump tricks. Since he has four winners on the board, he should aim on taking two ruffs in his hand. He starts by ruffing the fourth spade high, to stop West from overruffing. Let’s assume West throws another club, keeping equal diamond length with the board. Now declarer plays a trump to dummy’s nine, returns a diamond to his king, leads a diamond to dummy’s queen, ruffs a diamond high, draws trumps and claims.

SILKETT Continued from Page 1 tory at Lafayette High School in St. Joseph, where he also served as an assistant football and basketball coach. After earning a master’s degree in educational leadership at Northwest Missouri State University, he switched from the classroom to administration when he accepted the principalship at King City R-I High School in 2002. While at King City, Silkett instituted an intervention program aimed at improving the academic performance of at-risk students and completed the Leadership Academy at Northwest Missouri State University’s Regional Professional Development Center. He became principal at Pattonsburg in 2007, where he continued focusing on the classroom success of low-performing students. When Superintendent Cheryl Cornett retired in 2009, Silkett was named to replace her, subsequently leading a bond refinancing initiative that saved the district more than $125,000. On other fronts, Silkett was able to twice reduce the district’s property tax levy and also instituted a lease-purchase arrangement to upgrade K-12 classrooms and facilities. He served as president of the Area Cooperative for Educational Support from 2010-

2011 and led a campaign to bring eight-man football to Pattonsburg, Gilman City and North Daviess. Silkett completed a second advanced degree, that of education specialist, at Northwest, in 2011. As South Nodaway superintendent, Silkett will lead a school system similar in many respects to his current district. Both serve about 200 students and have a payroll of around 30 faculty and staff. Accepting the superintendent’s post at Barnard will be something of a homecoming for Silkett, who attended King City schools as a boy but grew up near the Nodaway/Andrew county line just three miles from Guilford, the site of the former South Nodaway elementary school, which closed last year. During his youth, Silkett’s family attended the Guilford Methodist Church, and he was active with the Barnard Saddle Club. “This is a fantastic opportunity for me to work in a place that helped me become the person I am today,” he said. Married for 23 years to Michelle Silkett, the couple has three children: Kayli, a sophomore at Missouri Western State University; Zane, a sophomore at Savannah High School; and Mia, a seventh-grader at Savannah Middle School. Michelle is also an educator and plans to continue teaching English at Savannah during the 2014-’15 school year.
in, give up recess to help kindergarteners NEW LONDON, Mo. (AP) — Kindergarten students at a small school in northeast Missouri are getting a little help with their ABC’s from a trio of third-graders. Tyler Armour, Kaydence Egbert and Olivia Rawlings at New London Elementary School have been spending one recess each day coaching kindergarteners in writing and letter recognition. Teacher Teresa Krigbaum and principal Melanie Smith gave the third-graders lessons in the basics of teaching. The third-graders keep files, give out stickers and coach the younger children on the basic, essential skills. The trio of third-graders spent the first few weeks of the school year training with Krigbaum, reviewing the sounds for each letter of the alphabet and the correct path in writing them. The third-graders also had extra homework and took a test to ensure their competency. The third-graders often stay after school to practice teaching, and sometimes give up recess time to help the kindergartners. “I can spend time helping them on what they need help with,” Olivia said. “I want them to be better writers. I love writing.” Kindergartners are rewarded with stickers for trying hard or learning a new skill. When they fill up a chart, they get a prize.
