High winds demolish hangars at airport Gusts reach 50 mph during late-winter storm By TONY BROWN News editor
Northwesterly winds gusting to nearly 50 mph blew into Maryville Thursday, downing limbs and trees and causing considerable havoc, especially at the Northwest Missouri Regional Airport, where two hangars were destroyed resulting in damage to three airplanes. The storm began around 9:30 a.m. as skies darkened and a steady rain turned into driving sleet. Just west of town across Highway 46 from the Maryville Country Club, what appeared to be a large grain bin was uprooted from its foundation and blown into a pasture. At the airport, a couple of miles further west, the wind leveled one hangar and tore the roof off another. Airport manager Kevin Rankin said the northernmost structure contained a Cessna 172 single-engine plane that he uses to give flying lessons along with a 1978 two-prop Piper Navajo owned by Northwest Missouri State University, which has long
been nicknamed “Bearcat 1.” The second hangar to the south contained a second Cessna 172, which Rankin said is privately owned. All three planes sustained damage, the extent of which had yet to be determined. The force of the wind at the airport was great enough to scatter lumber, pieces of corrugated metal and other debris eastward onto Hawk Road and across an adjoining field. Power lines serving the hangars were knocked down, and utility crews were dispatched in order to shut off the electricity to the affected structures. Rankin said a total of 22 planes are kept of the airport, and that all of them except the university craft are privately owned. Twenty of the planes are kept in hangars, which are also privately owned and constructed on land leased from the city of Maryville. Rankin said both the planes and hangars are insured by their owners, and that the city is not financially responsible for repairing the damage.

Winds wreak havoc
A single-engine Cessna stands inside what remains of its hangar at Northwest Missouri Regional Airport. More severe winter weather barreled into Nodaway County Thursday, bringing rain, sleet and winds strong enough to bring down trees and damage structures.
Methodist Church reveals expansion plan for building By TONY BROWN News editor
After two years of prayer and preparation, the First United Methodist Church of Maryville has announced that it is moving forward with plans to raise $1.7 million over six years in order to add a new “welcome center” onto the north side of its 120-year-old house of worship. A recently announced capital campaign, set to begin this spring, calls for numerous other interior and exterior changes as well, including an elevator that the church’s pastor, the Rev. Scott Moon, says the building has needed “forever.” Also planned are a new tower-topped main entrance at the northwest corner of the existing church, an interior courtyard, handicapped-accessible restrooms, a revamped nursery and reconfigured classrooms.

Wild weather blamed for line breaks By Steve Hartman Staff writer
Drastic swings in temperature during February are being blamed for a series of water line breaks within the city of Maryville. “We’ve had three major breaks in the past two weeks,” Maryville director of public works C.E. Goodall said. “All have been caused by shifts in the ground caused by the freeze/ thaw cycle.”
All three of these recent breaks have caused crews to work around the clock to restore service. In all cases, the crews worked through the night in less than ideal weather. The most recent break, in the 500 block of West Halsey, has been repaired, but the area was still under a boil advisory as of today. “We are testing the water at the Halsey location now, and we hope to rescind the boil advisory sometime today,” Goodall said.
‘We have improved dramatically when it comes to serving the needs of first-time worshippers and others looking for a church home’
Goodall is hopeful that late-winter temperatures will rise above freezing soon and stay there, which will stabilize the ground and prevent major shifts, which puts pressure on buried pipes. “Up until the last two weeks, it had been a pretty normal winter in terms of broken lines,” Goodall said. “Hopefully, temperatures will stabilize and stay above freezing, and the ground will quit shifting and putting pressure on the pipes.”
Moon said Thursday the campaign launch follows months of “work and prayer” during which lay leaders and rankand-file members have sought to more clearly define the church’s vision, ministry and role in the community. In addition to seeking divine guidance, Moon and his congregation also received some very down-to-earth advice from the Rev. Bob Farr, a “congregational excellence” specialist based in Columbia. Moon said Farr proved essential in helping the church take a hard look at its mission and ministry “before we even started talking about bricks and mortar.” With Farr’s help, the church signed off on five “prescriptions” of needed improvements that involved all aspects of its operation. Number five embraced the proposed new construction, which Moon said has been designed to reinforce See METHODIST Page 3

CAPITOL BRIEFS Senate passes college bill
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s four-year public universities would be rewarded for good performance under legislation passed by the state Senate. Under the bill, the 13 universities would get funding increases tied to certain performance standards. The colleges would work with the Department of Higher Education to develop five goals. Three of those goals must be tied to graduation and retention rates as well as job placement in a field appropriate for a graduating student’s degree level. The legislation would apply only in years the state can afford to increase higher education funding and would expire in 2016. A 2012 state law requires the development of a funding formula for Missouri’s public universities. Senators voted 33-0 to send the measure to the House on Thursday.
House backs tax cut plan
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House has endorsed legislation cutting income taxes for businesses. The bill given initial approval Wednesday in the Republican-led chamber would phase in a 50 percent deduction for business income reported on individual tax returns. It also would gradually cut Missouri’s corporate income tax rate to 3.125 percent from the current 6.25 percent. Republican supporters contend that a tax cut for businesses could help spur the economy. But Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon objects to the proposed business tax cut. He says he only would support an individual income tax cut, and then only if various conditions are met to protect funding for public schools.

Methodists to expand building Continued from Page 1 people-oriented changes on other fronts, including planning, hospitality, children’s ministry and lay leadership development. The new entrance, lobby and gathering area, Moon said, will be merely physical reflections of UMC’s mission to make “disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” Meaning, as a practical matter, that while church leaders were shaping the campaign they discovered that one of their biggest needs was to get better at welcoming people. Through surveys, interviews and other data-gathering methods, Moon said a pattern began to emerge: newcomers were pleased enough with worship services at UMC, but they were lukewarm about coming back and worshipping again. “When we asked people if they liked the worship service, they said it was OK,” Moon said. “But then when we asked, ‘Would you want to come back?’ they said no. They did not feel compelled to return. Obviously that was a wake-up call.” So what do you do when you want to get better at welcoming people? Well, as it turns out, several things, one of which is to create a pleasant space to welcome them in. Of course, completion of the new entryway and gathering space is still a long way off, but it’s part and parcel of a strategy to make folks attending UMC feel more at home, especially young couple with children, which Moon said is a growing demographic in the Maryville area. In the meantime, the church has been developing strategies and conducting training on how to welcome people to church. Designated greeters on Sunday morning, for example, wear distinctive green vests marking them as someone to ask for directions or assistance. Also people new at church are no longer consid-
Here’s the plan
TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM
The Rev. Scott Moon of the First United Church of Maryville gestures toward an architect’s rendering of a proposed addition to the historic house of worship constructed in 1894. A soon-to-be-launched capital campaign will seek to raise $1.7 million for the addition, which is to embrace a new north-facing main entrance and a large interior “gathering space.” ered “visitors” but “guests.” “We have improved dramatically,” when it comes to serving the needs of firsttime worshippers and others looking for a church home, Moon said. Like any major fundraising effort, UMC’s campaign is being planned in stages, the first of which calls for retiring $150,000 in existing debt acquired about five years ago when the church bought and demolished three derelict buildings that neighbored it to the north along the 100 block of North Main Street. Moon and his lay leadership team have set a goal of paying off that debt by Wednesday, March 5, which not coincidentally marks the beginning of Lent, the time of prayer, devotion and selfdenial leading up to Easter. The capital campaign proper begins in April with the goal of raising at least $800,000 over the next three years. At the end of that time, Moon said, a second three-year campaign will start immediately in an effort to gather in the remaining funds. Moon said a significant
amount of seed money has already been made available thanks to a couple of major gifts, one of which allowed UMC to hire a consultant to put together a feasibility study with regard to the proposed construction. The second gift was used to retain an architect. The only 19th century house of worship remaining in Maryville, UMC is a historic landmark as well as a functioning church, and plans for the new construction have taken that into consideration. First, the new towered north entrance will mirror the distinctive bell tower that has faced Main Street for 130 years. Vaulted windows and other architectural features echoing the existing building’s neo-Gothic style have also been incorporated. According to a UMC release, the church currently has a weekly attendance of about 250 people and has named its capital campaign “Growing First for the Future.” Church members Mark Burnsides and Bob Dewhirst are serving as co-chairs of the campaign committee,
whose members include Stephanie Shields, Mark Hornickel, Dave and Jan McLaughlin, Sally Johnson, Betty and Bob Bush, John and Kris Teale, Marla Burnsides, Carma Kinman, Chris Komorech, Deb Garrett, and Deb Cooper. The group has retained the services of the Rev. Dustin Cooper, a ministry strategist with Horizons Stewardship Co. of Cabot, Ark. Dewhirst said the church, which conducts two Sunday morning services each week, decided to move forward with the campaign based on needs perceived by the membership. “It’s going to be a common area where we can get together,” Dewhirst said, “a gathering place for people between services to drink coffee and talk. A lot of churches are doing things like this, and the research shows that it really helps churches grow. “Our church was built toward the end of the 19th century, so there are a lot of different levels and different entrances. This will give us a common entrance, a common focal point.”

five, and the second was for grades six, seven and eight. We chose to target those groups for our anti-bullying campaign because statistics show that while bullying can take place at any age, bullying activities peak in grades four through seven.” West Nodaway SADD chapter member Ryan Marrison said: “Hopefully this will help students make some better decisions about bullying.” In the fourth- and fifthgrade assembly, activities included a skit about bullying, a video, and a lanternmaking activity. The lanterns symbolized “shining the light on bullying,” and were hung in the elementary school hallways. Sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders watched a skit on bullying, and participated in a “serious or seriously” activity in which statements about bullying were separated into facts or myths. Members of the West Nodaway chapter of SADD include Ryan Marrison, Cheyann Marrison Sierra Randolph, Clay Mitchell, Amanda Brown, Alyson Dye, Haley Snow, Hannah Snow and Faith Adkins.

GUEST OPINION
Missouri ought to be Top-10 for business
Policy makers in Jefferson City don’t create jobs, but they certainly do legislate the environment in which Missouri jobs are either created or lost. Over the last decade, two Governors and our General Assembly have sought to incentivize individual corporations, such as Boeing and Bombardier, with large financial packages intended to lure jobs from outside Missouri. While I have supported these efforts (and likely will in the future), it’s time our state emphasized improving Missouri’s overall business climate and de-emphasized our reliance on singleproject ventures. How business friendly is Missouri compared to 49 other states? Not as friendly as you may think. The conservative Tax Foundation ranks Missouri 16th nationally. The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council ranks Missouri 21st. CNBC calls Missouri the 26th most business friendly state. Missouri’s own Kauffman Foundation ranks its home state 28th, and Forbes Magazine says Missouri is the 30th most business friendly state in the U.S. We can do better. While Missouri waits Chris Kostner for the next Boeing to knock at our door, let’s agree to act now to place Missouri reliably in the top-ten states in America when it comes to business friendly policies. The two most impactful steps lawmakers can take today to create a top-ten business climate are these: cut taxes and expand Medicaid. By trimming Missouri’s top individual tax rate from six percent, we effectively cut three separate taxes at once: the personal income tax rate, the capital gains tax rate, and Missouri’s tax on dividends and interest. Most national rankings analyze these three tax rates separately, so by cutting Missouri’s six percent tax rate we will improve in three categories simultaneously. Next, Missouri should cut taxes on new businesses, as well as on existing businesses that provide jobs to significant numbers of full-time employees. Because our goal is to reduce burdens on job creators, as opposed to reducing taxes on the wealthy, policy makers should concentrate on cutting taxes for those businesses that meaningfully add to job creation within the borders of our state. And this legislative session is the time to start. With state revenues estimated to increase between $346 million and $429 million in fiscal year 2015, the current legislative session is the right time to both increase Missouri’s commitment to existing priorities, like education, and cut taxes. Landing Missouri among the top-ten business friendly states in America will not be easy, and we may not accomplish the goal in one legislative session. But whether we achieve the goal in one year or over several years, top-ten must be our end. As lawmakers cut taxes to promote job growth in Missouri, they should simultaneously expand Medicaid. More than any other legislative act, Medicaid expansion will provide immediate fiscal stimulus to Missouri’s economy. Under the proposed program, each dollar Missouri dedicates to Medicaid expansion will return 19 dollars in new investment to our state, an annual return of 1,900 percent on our tax dollars. A 2012 study by the Kaiser Foundation estimated that Missouri would create 24,000 new jobs by expanding Medicaid, mostly in the high-paying healthcare services sector. This job-growth estimate is triple the most optimistic projection provided during the Boeing negotiation, and at a fraction of the cost. Medicaid expansion is not supported by only Democrats. It is supported by many right-leaning groups and prominent Republicans as well, including the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and former United States Senator Kit Bond. Setting aside the significant improvement to Missouri’s healthcare system that would result, Medicaid expansion would be the single most dramatic economic development advancement in our state in 25 years. Missouri has great advantages to offer our nation’s businesses: a central location, an outstanding workforce, and a low cost-of-living, among them. But because Missouri has no ocean, limited natural resources, and unpredictable winters, our state will always face challenges that many of our competitors do not. Therefore, Missouri must compete aggressively with other states in the area of tax policy in order to bring jobs and opportunity to our citizens. In a mobile/ global world, this fact is inescapable. Whether the next generation of entrepreneurs chooses Missouri to start businesses and raise families depends in large measure on decisions Jefferson City lawmakers make about Missouri’s business climate in the coming months. Chris Kostner is attorney general of Missouri.

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
Study of Missouri’s gun laws reveals some startling points
Members of the Missouri Legislature continue to attempt to make handguns available to anyone on as easily a basis as possible. No accountability. My view on the subject is basic, the only purpose of handguns is to kill people. If that is the case, then any civilized country should limit their availability as much as possible. Yes, I know, there is legitimate use for target sport and this is fine as long as they guns do not leave the target location. Unfortunately, from my viewpoint, the Supreme Court of the United States has interpreted the Second Amendment to mean that people have a right to own handguns for use for protection in their homes. One, therefore, must admit this use. If you know anything about language, you know that qualifying phrases in sentences indicate the meaning of the sentence. The Second Amendment begins with a qualifying phrase, “A well regulated militia being necessary for the freedom of a free State ….” The founding fathers meant it to be a protection of the state, not each individual, by means of supporting a militia. Today’s militia is the National Guard. If we stick to the present state of gun control in Missouri, we find that the Legislature, in all its wisdom, repealed in 2007 the permit-to-carry law. This law was to keep weapons out of the hands of undesirable people — mentally ill, felons, criminals. Licensing to buy a gun was gone, as well as a vetting of applicants by the local sheriff. What has been the consequence of this ill-conceived move?
A scholarly study published in the Journal of Urban Health states bluntly that it “resulted in an immediate spike in gun violence and murders” in Missouri.
Richard Fulton From 2008-2012, there were an additional 60 murders per year in Missouri, “an immediate upturn,” the article’s data shows. All potential contributing elements besides the repeal of the law were investigated: changes in policing levels; changes in incarceration rates; trends in burglary; unemployment levels, and poverty. All had no effect on the increased rates because: It didn’t happen with non-gun violence data. It didn’t occur in neighboring states. The national trend was down dur-
ing the period of the study. It was, for the most part, statewide, not only in the large urban areas. The timing of loosening of the accountability for gun purchasing coincides exactly with these results. Not only were murder rates higher, but the number of handguns that found their way into the hands of criminals went up as well. In the period under study, there was a doubling of handguns recovered from crime scenes or from criminals; this following immediately after the law’s repeal. People were buying handguns and selling them to whomever, and criminals themselves found it, and continue to find it, easier to buy handguns. Just the opposite of what the gun lobby said would happen.We are not safer, we are more at the mercy of criminals and unreliable purchasers of handguns. Note, this is not a study by anti-gun lobbyists. It is one headed by Prof. Daniel Webster of Johns Hopkins University. I know that many do not like cold, hard facts, but facts are facts and so this study should make Missourians take notice. One hopes that the Missouri Leislature, if they are at all concerned with pubic safety in Missouri, will revisit this unfortunate dismissal of a valuable law. The law itself was minimal in its effect on lawful gun ownership. In an interview on the article, Dr. Webster flatly said, “This study is compelling confirmation that weaknesses in firearm laws lead to deaths from gun violence.” Some 360 families in Missouri since 2008 can sadly confirm that fact.
LOCAL COLUMNIST
A food by any other name is sometimes fit for humans to eat
There was something wrong with the package of dried fruit I plucked off the grocery store shelf. It looked normal enough; a yellow bag with purple writing that read, “Dried Plums.” But I’d never heard of dried plums. Then it hit me. I knew what was in this bag. In a simpler, less word-nervous time, people called these gigantic raisins “prunes.” When did good, old-fashioned prunes turn from something once promoted as a laxative into a word only uttered in hushed tones around shady health food circles? Apparently 14 years ago. Where was I? I thought I kept relatively up-todate on the snackable fruit industry. In 2000, the California Prune Board began the Great Prune Cleansing (not to be confused with the effects of eating the prune itself) in an attempt to remove the word from the English language because: 1) to Americans, the word “prune” meant laxative, 2) although plumbs taste awesome, prunes taste exactly like something that would make you do what they make you do. The now-California Dried Plum Board even got the go-ahead for this subterfuge from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Since that approval, the sales of prune dried plum have increased, 5.4 percent in the past year alone. Good god, man. If the government tricked us into eating more prunes just by changing the name, what other
foods are we eating that go by carefully planned pseudonyms? • Orange roughy. Although an orange roughy sounds like something naughty, it’s actually a fish. A delicious fish. An ugly orange delicious fish. But no matter how delicious it is, an orange roughy looks like a goldfish version of the hideously scarred Batman villain Two-Face. Which is probably how it got its
Jason Offutt real name, the slimehead. Here’s how that would look on a menu: “Lemon-lime Herb Slimehead grilled to perfection, served with choice of mashed potatoes, French fries, or cole slaw, and an empty bucket on the floor. Just remember to lean
to the left.” A Marks & Spencer spokesman told the U.K. Daily Mail the new name is, “a good way to encourage people to try different types of fish.” • Kiwi. First planted in New Zealand in 1906, the Chinese fruit yáng táo (sunny peach) quickly became popular but was unpronounceable enough to be renamed the Chinese Gooseberry. An actual gooseberry, of course, is as appealing as a spoonful of alum, so by 1959 New Zealand’s leading wholesale distributor, Turners and Growers, renamed the Chinese Gooseberry “kiwifruit.” Given the fact that the small hairy fruit looks something like New Zealand’s national bird the kiwi, this made sense. Enough so most people consider the fruit native to New Zealand. Ha, joke’s on us. • Canola. There are great fields across rural southern England’s rolling hills covered with bright yellow seas of flowers attached to leafy, bright green plants. The beauty of the colors is staggering. It really is. However, that plant is called “rapeseed.” Apparently North Americans are more conscious of what kind of questions our children will ask when they start reading than are our British cousins, so we now call rapeseed “canola.” Some name changes are for the best. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

Spoofhounds rally twice, still fall against Savages
By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Thursday night was all about the seniors for the Maryville girls basketball team and those three seniors gave the Spoofhounds a boost early and an even bigger one late as they tried to comeback against Savannah. Senior guard Chelsea Byland returned to the court Thursday night — if only briefly — and even got a shot up to give Maryville an early lift, but it was the second half heroics of post Gabby Church and point guard Cassie Holtman that nearly brought the Hounds back twice. “It was good to see Chelsea Byland in uniform again, I thought that was pretty neat,” head coach Grant Hageman said. “She got a shot up and she was deep. I’m shocked she didn’t make it, she’s such a great shooter, but tonight was all about these seniors. “I think most teams in our situation would give up, hang their heads and throw in the towel. Because of our senior leadership, they haven’t done that all year. In our situation, with a record like where we’re at right now, it would be so easy to do that. Between Cassie and Chelsea and Gabby, they set such a good example. They keep their heads up and they keep working away. I’m really proud of those seniors.” Maryville trailed 14-9 at halftime after a defensive first quarter that saw Maryville come out ahead 5-3. “Second quarter, I thought it was just more finding decent shots,” Hageman said. “Their 2-3 zone and their length was bothering us and that’s why I was glad to get to
halftime and make some adjustments.” The Lady Hounds came out of the locker room on fire and took the lead back with 3:50 to go in the third quarter at 19-17 and led 21-17 before the Savages tied it heading into the third quarter. Savannah took the lead back early in the fourth quarter, but Church countered with the first five points for the Hounds in the period. Maryville trailed by nine with 1:39 to play when Holtman canned a three-pointer from the corner. Holtman hit another to bring Maryville within two with 36 seconds to play, but Savannah hit free throws down the stretch to hold off the Hounds 42-37. “(Holtman was) huge. What an awesome performance,” Hageman said. “Gabby played awesome in doing what Gabby does, just being tough inside.” Holtman led the way with nine points while Church and sophomore forward Josie Patton each scored eight for Maryville, 4-20. The Hounds kick off district play at 6 p.m. Monday night against host Lathrop, the second seed. Lathrop beat Maryville 50-36 back on Feb. 3. “Everybody’s 0-0 right now,” Hageman said. “We’ve been a seven seed and upset a two seed before with a record like we have this year. We’ve been a two seed and been upset by a seven seed. Crazy things happen. “I think, obviously, all the pressure is on Lathrop. If we can come in there and hit some shots and get some momentum, there’s going to be a lot of pressure on them and I’ve been in those games on the flip side of that and how tight you can get when you’re a two seed you can overlook people.”
QUOTABLE “I think most teams in our situation would give up, hang their heads and throw in the towel. Because of our senior leadership, they haven’t done that all year. In our situation, with a record like where we’re at right now, it would be so easy to do that.”

Scroggie leads Jays to win By STEVE HARTMAN

Look it in
STEVE HARTMAN/DAILY FORUM
Northeast Nodaway senior post Joel Scroggie powers to the hoop for two of his game-high 22 points in the Bluejays 44-36 conference victory over Osborn on Thursday night.
For three quarters Thursday night, the visiting Osborn Wildcats did everything possible to spoil senior night at Northeast Nodaway. But the fourth quarter, and the evening, belonged to the Bluejays, as a late rally produced a 44-36 Platte Valley Conference victory. The Bluejays jumped out to a slim 10-8 first quarter lead, but by halftime, Osborn had moved out to a 21-18 lead. “We struggled some offensively in the first half,” Bluejay head coach Chaim Jenkins said. “But you have to give Osborn’s defense credit for some of that.” In the third quarter, Northeast Nodaway rallied behind six points from senior post Joel Scroggie to tie the game at 30-30. Scroggie then scored the first two points of the fourth quarter, giving Northeast Nodaway a lead it would never relinquish. The Bluejays scored 14 points in the fourth quar-
ter and Scroggie tallied 10 of them. “We closed this game better than we did Tuesday,” Jenkins said, “and that was primarily because of Joel.” Scroggie led the Bluejays with 22 points, and his shot-blocking ability was a difference-maker at the defensive end. Fellow senior Steve Schulte added 11 points for Northeast Nodaway, now 10-13 on the season. Besides Scroggie and Schulte, point guard Shaun Burns also played his final game on Claude Samson Court. The Bluejays are seeded fifth in the Class 1, District 15 tournament which will be held at North Harrison high school in Eagleville. They drew fourth-seeded Mercer at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, and Jenkins is looking forward to the matchup. “We lost to them in our first game after Christmas break,” Jenkins said, “but we didn’t have Burns or (Andrew) Faustlin, so we’re looking forward to playing them at full strength.”
Sophomore shines on Jefferson’s Senior Night By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
On a night to honor the careers of the teams’ seniors, a sophomore took the limelight and led the Jefferson girls basketball team to victory. After a closely contested first quarter, Jefferson blew the doors off of the game, outscoring DeKalb 15-2 in the second quarter. That burst led them to a 25-11 lead in the second half. “I think we came out with a little more defensive intensity and started finding the posts,” Jefferson coach Tyler Pedersen said. “I think we got some great looks in the post and the girls got the ball where it needed to go.” DeKalb came out in the second half and tried its hardest to make it a closer game, outscoring the Eagles 23-22 in the second half. “Our Achilles heel this year has been playing four consistent quarters,” Pedersen said. “We kind of let down a little bit (down the stretch) and they were able to get some easy baskets. They were getting some looks at the basket and we were turning it over. Just a bad combination.” Despite the strong showing from the Tigers in the second half, Jefferson
came away with the victory 47-34. Sophomore Jessie Henry led the Eagles with 26 points. Henry scored 15 of the teams 22 second-half points. Freshman Sarah Chor also had a solid game, scoring nine points. “(Henry) is capable of doing that any night,” Pedersen said. “She’s still a young player, but it’s just a matter of the kids learning what they can and can’t do. I thought she played great, but it took the girls getting her the ball. I thought we did a great job finding her.” This game marked the final regular season game for the Lady Eagles. They finished the regular season with a 1411 mark, winning seven of their final nine games. The Eagles will open up district tournament play as the No. 3 seed. They will play against Ridgeway in the opening round of the tournament, which will be played at North Harrison High School in Eagleville. “I think we’ve come a long way,” Pedersen said. “The season can sometimes be long and grueling, but I think KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM these girls have come a long way. I think we should confident going into districts.” The Eagles will begin tournament Jefferson sophomore post Jessie Henry puts up a shot through the DeKalb defense on Thursday night. play on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. Henry finished with 26 points in the Eagles 47-34 victory.

Northeast Nodaway blows away Osborn By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Northeast Nodaway tuned up for district play with a 47-23 Platte Valley Conference victory over visiting Osborn Thursday night. In addition, seniors Claudia Wiederholt, Kerrigan Adwell, Taryn Farnan and Holly Redden made their final appearances on Claude Samson Court. The Lady Bluejays jumped out to a 14-6 first quarter lead, then picked up their defensive effort in the second quarter, shutting out the Lady Wildcats to open up a 22-6 halftime lead. “We didn’t shoot well,” Northeast Nodaway coach Vance Proffitt said. “However, our defense played very well.” The Lady Bluejays came out in the second half and outscored Osborn 14-7 to take a commanding 36-13 lead. “In the second half, we got a little stag-
nant offensively,” Proffitt said. “We played a little too much one-on-one at times.” Northeast Nodaway, now 13-12 on the season, was once again led offensively by their “twin tower” post combination of senior Taryn Farnan and sophomore Dallis Coffelt. Farnan paced the attack with 13 points, while Coffelt added 12. Senior Holly Redden added eight points, including a pair of three-pointers. As the Lady Bluejays head to districts, they hope to get some reinforcements, as senior guard Claudia Wiederholt should return from injury. “Claudia is supposed to be back next week,” Proffitt said. “We will welcome her back as her ball-handling, shooting and especially her leadership have been missed.” Northeast Nodaway opens district play Monday at 5 p.m. at North Harrison High School in Eagleville. The Lady Bluejays, seeded fourth, will take on No. 5 Stanberry.

Eagles win regular season finale By KEVIN BIRDSELL
Staff writer
DeKalb stuck with Jefferson for the few minutes of the game, but once the Eagles took control, they never gave it back en route to a 62-41 win. After an early 4-4 tie, Jefferson closed out the first quarter an 11-5 run. Jefferson extended its lead in the second quarter as well, outscoring DeKalb 19-11 in the period. The strong offense from the Eagles led to them leading at the half 34-20. Jefferson coach Tim Jermain said that he thought the start of the game was a little slow for the Jefferson defensively, but once they got his team got its feet under it, they played the defense they were used to playing. The Eagles came out of halftime hitting shots again, starting the third quarter with a 7-0 run before DeKalb took a timeout. After the timeout, DeKalb outscored the Eagles
15-7 to finish the quarter. Senior Kyler Farnan led the Eagles in scoring with 13 points in his final home game. Fellow senior Alex Holtman scored 10 points. The victory was the final regular season game of the year for the Eagles, who finished the season 18-7. “I thought this week we responded and did a lot of good things,” Jermain said. “I think we just have to be confident and believe we are ready.” The Eagles will go into the District 15 Tournament as the No. 2 seed. They will open up play at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday night against No. 7 Worth County at North Harrison High School in Eagleville. “I told them we have to feel like we’ve prepared ourselves,” Jermain said. “It is what it is at this point, and we have to go in with a lot of confidence. We can’t focus on any of the negative things, we just have to be confident going into (districts).”

Your popularity and reputation continue to grow. Others are drawn to your sincerity and enthusiasm. As a result, you will be involved in many diverse and interesting events. Your experience, participation and accomplishments will combine to make this an exciting and fulfilling year. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You need a challenge. Explore new and complex subjects in order to quench your thirst for knowledge. Take advantage of any free time to read and expand your outlook. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be careful what you wish for. Trying to emulate a phony lifestyle will not bring good results and can be costly. Be proud that you are a responsible individual who works hard. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone close to you may be feeling neglected. Spend time nurturing important relationships. Plan a trip or attend an event that helps bring you closer to the people you love most. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Maintain your position in the workplace by emphasizing your talents and ideas to your superiors. Doing so will help to dispel criticism from an opposing quarter. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dedicate time to your family. Sharing hobbies, playing games or enjoying other entertainments will bring you closer together. Happy memories are what build strong bonds and encourage togetherness.

Lady Luck was at another table
Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.
Timothy Zahn, a science fiction writer, said, “For a change, Lady Luck seemed to be smiling on me. Then again, maybe the fickle wench was just lulling me into a false sense of secu-
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Remain calm and patient in your dealings with moody individuals. Take steps to ensure that slight differences of opinion don’t get blown out of proportion. A positive attitude will bring stellar results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’ll be upset if things don’t go your way. Seeking advice from trusted relatives may help you to gain a new perspective. Don’t be afraid to admit you have a problem. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Financial matters take precedence. Ignore the pleas of those who want to borrow from you. Keeping accurate records of investments and expenditures is essential to good money management. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Unreasonable accusations or unfounded jealousy will cause tension between you and someone you love. You can avoid unpleasant situations by keeping your thoughts and emotions in check. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Stay clear of those who try to involve you in their private affairs. You have much to lose and little to gain if you take sides. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Don’t go over your budget. Spend time acquainting yourself with community events and local activities. You may be hesitant at first, but your social life will benefit if you participate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Someone is withholding information. You will be able to learn all the details if you maintain your focus and ask pertinent questions. Increased career commitments will keep you busy.
rity while she reached for a rock.” Some bridge players are superstitious, thinking Lady Luck controls the outcome of deals. But good players know that normally she has no influence over the final result. Occasionally, though, everything looks like smooth sailing, when suddenly a nasty storm blows up. What should happen in today’s deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads his fourth-highest spade. In the auction, I like North’s jump to three notrump. If South has a club honor, the chance of five or six club tricks is high. Along with the spade ace and South’s known values, surely three no-trump will roll home. It is just Lady Luck’s perversity that South has only two low clubs. East wins the first trick with his spade king, then should return his remaining spade. Yes, here, a red-suit shift would work even better, but East should try to get the spade ace off the board. South will win with his
spade queen and run the club eight. Now comes the key play -- East must not take the trick. If East wins, declarer captures the next trick and drives out the club ace, while dummy still has the spade ace as an entry. But if East calmly allows South’s club eight to win, East will take the second club and shift to, probably, the diamond jack. Now dummy’s club suit is useless and the contract goes down one or two. Afterward, no doubt South will complain that he was unlucky.

A Piper Navajo two-engine aircraft owned by Northwest Missouri State University, affectionately known as ‘Bearcat 1,’ is covered by debris Thursday morning after the collapse of a hangar at Northwest Missouri Regional Airport. A smaller privately owned Cessna 172 also suffered damage during the late-season storm.
