Time to file
Maryville attorney Doug Thomson, left, submits filing papers Tuesday to Nodaway County Clerk Beth Walker at the County Administration Center. Yesterday was the first day candidates could file to have their names included on the August primary election ballot.
Filing period opens for August primary STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The 2014 campaign season in Missouri officially opened Tuesday as scores of hopeful politicians lined up at the secretary of state’s office to fill out paperwork that will put their names on the August primary ballot. The first day of Missouri’s month-long
candidate filing period is typically the busiest, partly because of tradition and partly because opening-day filers get to participate in a random drawing that determines who is listed first on the ballot for each office.

Fourteen competitors from districts countywide gathered at North Nodaway R-VI High School Tuesday for the 2014 Nodaway County Spelling Bee, and Maryville Middle School’s Hayden Mildward emerged as the champion. The second-place finisher was Hunter Johnson of Maryville Middle School, while Nodaway-Holt’s Kobe Hendrix finished third, and North Nodaway’s Ryan Riley captured fourth place. Eleven of the 14 competitors were eliminated from contention in the first round, and Hendrix was forced to take his seat in round four, leaving the Maryville Middle School classmates, seventh-grader Mildward and fifth-grader Johnson, to vie
for the crown. Following a spirited seven-round duel, Johnson misspelled “massage,” and Mildward clinched the championship by correctly spelling “earthenware.” The eleven competitors eliminated in round one reentered the competition as finalists for fourth place. Another multi-round duel developed between Nodaway-Holt’s Jasmine Parker, St. Gregory’s Patrick Baker and North Nodaway’s Ryan Riley. After several rounds of competition, Ryan overcame Jasmine to clinch fourth place. Hayden and Hunter, the top two finishers, will represent Nodaway County in the regional spelling bee, which will take place Saturday, March 8, at St. Francis Xavier Parish Center in St. Joseph. Kobe and Ryan will
serve as alternates. Jefferson C-123 was represented in the competition by fifth-grader Trevor McQueen and sixth-grader Megan Galbraith. Maryville Middle School’s representatives were seventh-grader Hayden Mildward and fifthgrader Hunter Johnson. Nodaway-Holt R-VII contestants were fifth-graders Jasmine Parker and Kobe Hendrix. Northeast Nodaway RV’s representatives were fifth-grader Anne Schieber and sixth-grader Reed McIntyre, while North Nodaway R-VI was represented by sixth-graders Ryan Riley and Wyatt O’Riley. St. Gregory’s School contestants were fifth-grader Gunnar Grispino and eighth-grader Patrick Baker, and West Nodaway R-I sent seventh-graders Madalyn Walker and Kassidy Brady.
Local student shares national debate title MARYVILLE, Mo. – The Northwest Missouri State University Speaking Bearcats forensics team earned more championship hardware last weekend at the inaugural Public Communication Speech and Debate League National Tournament at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. The duo of Emily Meyers, a freshman public relations major from Maryville, and Nick Van Ross, a freshman marketing major from Lee’s Summit, took the national title in the Public Forum Debate category. Meyers and Van Ross also placed second and third, respectively, in the Public Forum Speaker category. Now 19, Meyers graduated last year from Maryville High School where she participated in a number of National Forensic League meets. “I really enjoy performing, but I also enjoy debate because it’s performance mixed with knowledge,” she said. In addition to pairing with Van Ross in the Public Forum Debate class, Meyers also competes in the categories of persuasion, impromptu speaking, prose reading and
communication analysis, She was partnered with Van Ross earlier in the school year after the Northwest debate coach decided they would make a good team. “He’s a very good partner,” Meyers said of Van Ross. “We get along very well. He makes really aggressive arguments, and I make it sound pretty. He’s the debater, and I’m the speaker.” Also at Indianola, Northwest’s Tristan Newell, a freshman English major from Liberty, placed fifth in Radio Broadcasting as the Bearcats finished third in the overall team sweepstakes category and second in debate team sweepstakes. “Northwest (had) just three novice competitors in two events, but those students had an amazingly strong showing against much larger teams from Simpson, Ohio, Marietta and Ottawa,” Director of Forensics Brian Swafford said. “The team of Emily Meyers and Nick Van Ross won all preliminary rounds of Public Forum and were the top-seeded team going into the final round.” See MEYERS, Page 6

LOCAL NEWS BRIEFS Northwest to host Expo
Education majors, in-service teachers and school district officials from the four-state area are invited to attend the 2014 Education Expo from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, March 17, in Bearcat Arena at Northwest Missouri State University. The event is free and pre-registration for job applicants is not required. School districts can register by going to www.nwmissouri.edu/careerserv/HABinfo.htm. The event is being described as a networking opportunity for education majors and alumni seeking jobs as professional educators. Northwest Career Services, which coordinates the event, anticipates that more than 60 employers from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska will attend. For information, email Hannah Varney, Career Services graduate assistant, at S505535@mail.nwmissouri.edu.
CAPITOL BRIEFS Change would restrict cuts JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri governors could not restrict money from public schools under legislation endorsed by the state Senate. Senators voted Monday to give first-round approval to a proposed constitutional amendment that would prevent the governor from freezing money budgeted for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Sponsoring Sen. Ryan Silvey, a Kansas City Republican, says the change would mirror another constitutional provision that prevents the governor from using a lineitem veto for “free public schools” or payment of debt. The constitution allows governors to control the rate of spending and to withhold funds if revenues aren’t performing at the projected levels. The measure needs another vote before moving to the House and would need to be approved by Missouri voters this year.

Northwest to host history contest MARYVILLE, Mo. — About 130 students in grades six through 12 from 15 northwest Missouri counties are expected to compete Friday during a National History Day event at Northwest Missouri State University. This year’s theme is Rights and Responsibilities in History. Projects presented during the day could qualify regional winners for the National History Day competition this June in College Park, Md. Students enter in one of four categories — exhibit, performance, documentary
and research paper — and can compete individually or as part of a group.
that engages more than two million students each year. In Missouri, the program
‘More than $150,000 in scholarships is awarded to national winners.’ Since its founding in 1974 in Cleveland, Ohio, National History Day has grown from a contest with about 100 participants into a national academic program
is supported by the State Historical Society, the Missouri Humanities Council, Subway, Hy-Vee and eight public Missouri universities including Northwest. Fund-
ing is provided by The History Channel, ABC-CLIO, Jostens and several private foundations. Judges include university professors, high school teachers, museum curators and other public historians. More than $150,000 in scholarships is awarded to national winners, including a full-tuition scholarship to Case Western Reserve University. For more information, visit the National History Day website at www.nhd. org or the National History Day in Missouri website at www.nhdmo.org.
Tourin’ Bearcats offers Alaska trip An Alaskan cruise will be the next trip offered by Tourin’ Bearcats, a travel program organized by the Northwest Missouri State University Alumni Association. The trip, which is open to anyone, will take place July 18-25. Cruise packages start at $2,199 per person and upgrades are available. All options are based on double occupancy and include
round-trip airfare from Kansas City International Airport and travel insurance. According to an Alumni Association release, trip highlights will include visits to Vancouver, B.C., as well as the Inside Passage, Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm and Ketchikan. “The Northwest Alumni Association’s Tourin’ Bearcats travel program gives our alumni the oppor-
tunity to travel to places all throughout the world,” said Bob Machovsky, interim director of alumni relations and annual gifts. “What is nice about the trips is that they are all planned for the alumni, so it gives them a relaxing way to travel without having to worry about all the details.” Recent Tourin’ Bearcats destinations have included Mexico, San Antonio, Vir-
ginia Triangle, Ireland and Central Europe. The trips are co-sponsored by KXCV-KRNW, Northwest’s 100,000-watt public radio station. Reservations, with a $450 per person deposit, are due at booking, and final payment is due April 4. Early registration is encouraged due to limited space availability. For information call (800) 869-6806.
Kansas City pushes for GOP convention in 2016 for with heart. “We are a city that really wants this convention,” said Troy Stremming, a local casino executive who is cochairman of the Kansas City RNC 2016 Task Force. “It’s not just another convention of 50,000 participants in the city of Las Vegas, it would be the convention for Kansas City and this region.” A delegation from Kansas City plans to personally deliver the city’s bid documents Wednesday to Republican headquarters in Washington — capping a campaign that began nearly a year ago when it put on a party for the Republican National Committee. Representatives from the aspiring host cities are to make formal presentations March 3 to Republican of-
ficials. A committee then will narrow the list to several finalists for onsite visits later this year. But the winner might not be chosen until early 2015, said Sharon Day, co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee. At this point, “there is no front-runner,” she said. When Kansas City last hosted the Republican National Convention in 1976, the event was held in the newly opened Kemper Arena on the banks of the Missouri River, and attendees flew in to the new Kansas City International Airport. Today, Kemper Arena is a seldom-used shell targeted for potential demolition, and city officials are bemoaning the need for a new, modern airport.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration’s push for a smaller, nimbler military must now face the scrutiny of a Congress that has spent years battling the Pentagon’s vision for a new security strategy. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is proposing to shrink the Army to its smallest size in 75 years, hoping to reshape the military after more than a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The plan unveiled Monday is already raising red flags among leading Republicans and Democrats. “What we’re trying to do is solve our financial problems on the backs of our military, and that can’t be done,” said Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., the House Armed Services Committee chairman. “There’s going to be a huge challenge,” Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, conceded. Having backtracked just this month on cutting veterans benefits by less than 1 percent, lawmakers appear in little mood to weigh difficult decisions on defense reductions, especially as the
nation gears up for midterm elections in November. They have resisted cutting tanks and aircraft the military doesn’t want, or accepting base closings that would be poison in their home districts. They have consistently advocated bigger pay increases for service members than requested. And although Congress has agreed on an overall number for the military budget in 2015, at just under $500 billion, there are still major decisions to be made on how that money should be spent. “We are repositioning to focus on the strategic challenges and opportunities that will define our future: new technologies, new centers of power and a world that is growing more volatile, more unpredictable and in some instances more threatening to the United States,” Hagel said Monday at the Pentagon. President Barack Obama will submit the budget to Congress next week. At its core, the plan foresees the U.S. military as no longer sized to conduct large and protracted ground wars. Instead, more emphasis will
be on versatile, agile forces that can project power over great distances, including in Asia. The active-duty Army would shrink from 522,000 soldiers to between 440,000 and 450,000. That would make it the smallest since just before the U.S. entered World War II. Other contentious elements include the elimination of the Air Force’s A-10 “Warthog” tank-killer aircraft and the Cold Warera U-2 spy plane; Army National Guard reductions; and domestic military base closings that Congress has roundly rejected since Obama became president. Military compensation will also decline slightly. Another flashpoint could emerge over the fleet of 11 aircraft carriers that the Pentagon insists it is maintaining. “We are on a path to repeat the mistakes we’ve made during past attempts to cash in on expected peace dividends that never materialized” and “caused our allies to question America’s staying power and encouraged our enemies to test us,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said.
in about 30 minutes from hotels on either side of the Missouri-Kansas border. Being located in the center of the country means attendees from both the east and west coasts can fly to Kansas City in less than three hours. Political considerations, such as the region’s Republican bona fides or battleground status, aren’t part of the discussion, Day said.
But the city’s logistics are a key part to selecting a convention site. “We look at every hotel, every venue, the wiring, the security — you basically tear the city apart to make sure that they can really deliver the best possible opportunity for our presidential candidate,” said Day, who was on the 2008 site selection committee that chose St. Paul, Minn.

Congress wary of military cuts
Yet downtown Kansas City has recently undergone a $6 billion renovation anchored by the new Sprint Center arena, which sold more tickets to live entertainment events last year than its counterparts in Dallas, Phoenix, Denver or Las Vegas. The arena sits across from a new restaurant and bar district, near a renovated luxury hotel and a short walk from a massive convention center that spans eight city blocks. That whole downtown area is plugged into a newly upgraded grid for telecommunications, power, water and sewer. Although Kansas City currently lacks a commuter train, officials insist that a finely orchestrated network of chartered buses can get everyone to the convention Garage Doors & Openers • Auto Glass • Lockouts •
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Nearly 40 years have passed since the national political spotlight last shone on this city, when Ronald Reagan tried unsuccessfully to oust President Gerald Ford at a contested Republican National Convention. Yet Kansas City now is making an aggressive push to host the Olympics of politics — the 2016 Republican National Convention — against a field of competitors that includes the tourist destinations of Las Vegas and New Orleans, the southern hotspots of Dallas and Phoenix and other cities such as Denver with more recent political conventions on their resumes.

Joplin Globe
We applaud Missouri Southern State University for holding the line on college costs. Members of the board of governors agreed Friday not to raise tuition for in-state eligible undergraduates for the 2014-15 academic year, which begins this fall. Southern’s greatest selling point has always been that it offers a great education at low cost, relative to other colleges in Missouri and around the country. Setting aside for a minute some of the other benefits to attending Southern, ranging from an international emphasis to great athletics, the university’s success will depend on its ability to maintain that balance of low cost and top-flight education. All tuition decisions also should keep in mind the biggest economic reality in the region: Wages in Southwest Missouri are well below the national average, and what Southern is doing is keeping the door open for many of those families. We also know that many economists have predicted the next great debt crisis — one that could rival the housing crisis in its implications — is student loan debt. While we’re at it, let’s give a shout out to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and state legislators, who are pushing an increase in state funding for Missouri’s public four-year institutions if those institutions will agree to a tuition freeze. The boards of the four-campus University of Missouri System as well as the University of Central Missouri have agreed. Political and education leaders have demonstrated they are putting students first. It’s the right call.
Why the rush on executions?
Kansas City Star
While attention has centered on Missouri’s nefarious methods of obtaining execution chemicals, the state has been pushing the limits of decency and legality in another respect. The last three prisoners put to death in Missouri — Joseph Franklin, Allen Nicklasson and Herbert Smulls — were executed before their final appeals were exhausted. Legal experts and judges have rebuked the state for its hurry. “Missouri violated the spirit, if not the letter, of the long litany of cases warning Missouri to stay executions while federal review of an inmate’s constitutional challenge is still pending,” 8th U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kermit Bye wrote after the Nicklasson execution. With stunning arrogance, one of Attorney General Chris Koster’s deputies, David Hansen, told a legislative committee that his office was responding to a strategy of death row inmates to file enough motions for stays of executions to outlast the time spans of death warrants. That’s not the attorney general’s call. The courts decide when the appeals process has run its course. If Koster is concerned about an inmate’s defense team prolonging the process, he can petition the U.S. Supreme Court to refuse to accept further motions. Missouri is playing a callous and dangerous game. Its next execution date, for former Kansas Citian Michael Taylor, is Wednesday. If Gov. Jay Nixon continues to refuse to declare a moratorium on executions, the state must at least show respect for the judicial process.

A MINUTE WITH MIKE
Legislative discussion beginning on latest round of tax reductions After seven weeks of the current session, we are seeing many bills making it out of committee and onto the calendar for scheduled debate. Priority issues take precedent and last week was the beginning of discussion on legislation dealing with tax cuts for Missouri families and businesses. This discussion became very heated and intense during the last session when the Legislature approved a tax cut that the governor vetoed. During last year’s debate, proponents pushed the tax cut as a powerful tool to stimulate economic growth and bring new in jobs. Opponents said a tax cut would lower revenues and jeopardize funding to education and other vital state services. The House passed two bills this week. One is focused on lowering the tax burden for Missouri businesses and the other would reduce taxes for both Missouri citizens and employers. The first bill, HB 1253, would implement a 50 percent deduction for business income and cut corporate income tax from 6.25 percent to 3.125 percent over five years. In order for these tax savings to be phased in, state revenues would have to remain above the level they were at in 2012. The bill would eventually reduce the tax burden on Missouri businesses by nearly $350 million per year.
The second bill, HB 1295, implements a reduction of the individual income tax rate from 6 percent to 5.3 percent over a period of seven years.
Mike Thomson It would increase the current deduction for individuals who earn less than $20,000 annually from $2,100 to $3,100 and includes the business income tax deduction. To protect education funding, the legislation also requires revenues to increase by $150 million annually, specifying that $60 million of the revenue increase would go to public schools and $30 million would be designated for higher education in each year. The bill is estimated to produce a tax savings for Missouri-
ans of more than $700 million annually. As we look ahead to the potential fate of these two bills, it is important to note that the Missouri Senate is hard at work on its own version of a tax cut. Additionally, the governor entered the discussion earlier this year and has announced that he will support a one-half percent tax reduction in the individual income tax rate, but only if certain conditions are met. The conditions include the full funding of our K-12 education funding formula; that revenues increase by at least $200 million each year, and that the House and Senate approve a tax credit reform bill. At this point, there are a number of differences to work out and we must remember that it is very early in the game. During the next several weeks, we will see how the talks evolve and whether we can come to agreements that will give our citizens and our businesses some tax breaks and maintain some integrity in our budget as we fund the vital services in our state. If you have questions, you may reach me at my Capitol number 573-751-9465, at the local district number, 660-582-4014, by email at mike.thomson@house.mo.gov, or by mail at Room 401B State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, Mo. 65101
STRAIGHT TALK FROM SAM
Time to rein in federal regulations
Small business owners I talk to in North Missouri and across the country nearly unanimously say they need a break from the red tape. A recent study found that the annual cost of federal regulations stands at more than $1.75 trillion, with small businesses paying a cost 36 percent higher on average than larger counterparts. Examples of overreach and opportunities to rein in federal agencies are not hard to find. Whether it’s the Department of Labor looking to prevent teens from working on their family farms or the Environmental Protection Agency floating the idea of regulating how much dust a farmer is allowed to stir up, there’s clearly a disconnect between what Washington bureaucrats want and what our economy needs.
This week, the House will address this disparity by considering
Sam Graves
the Achieving Less Excess in Regulation and Requiring Transparency Act (H.R. 2804). The bill combines several legislative proposals, including one I introduced to allow opportunities for better input from small businesses on regulations ahead of new requirements. It seems common sense that you get a better rule when you consider the consequences beforehand, and this legislation will help achieve that. Not all regulations are bad, but many are burdensome and their sheer sum is a problem. The nation’s founders never anticipated an unrestrained regulatory state — so let’s call on Washington to practice some restraint. The economy will be better off, and small businesses will have more room to grow and create jobs.

Filing period begins for local/state elections Continued from Page 1 a spot on the August ballot consisted mostly of incumbents. The exception was Maryville attorney Doug Thomson, a Republican seeking to succeed the retiring Glen Dietrich as associate Circuit Judge. Others filing in Maryville as of 3:30 p.m. yesterday were Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice (Republican); Presiding Commissioner Robert Schieber (Democrat); Circuit Court Clerk Elaine Wilson (Republican); County Recorder of Deeds Sandy Smail (Democrat); and County Clerk Beth Walker (Democrat). Several potential candidates are said to be considering a run for the 1st District Missouri House seat being vacated by Rep. Mike Thomson, who will be termlimited at year’s end. In addition, Andrew County farmer and KCP&L public affairs manager Dan Hegeman, a Republican, earlier announced that he would seek the state Senate
seat currently held by Brad Lager, who is also ending his General Assembly career. Hegeman appears to have the blessing of GOP leaders and has been endorsed by U.S. Rep. Sam Graves. Graves himself has a possible challenger in the November general election after Bill Hedge of St. Joseph said he would seek the Democratic nomination in August as a candidate to represent Missouri’s 6th Congressional District. This year is expected to be a relatively mild campaign season in Missouri. There is no race for U.S. Senate or governor. The only statewide executive office on the ballot is auditor, where Republican incumbent Tom Schweich had no announced opposition heading into the start of candidate filing. As always, the ballot will include all eight of the state’s U.S. House seats and all 163 Missouri House seats, along with half of the 34 state Senate seats.

Among the first in line at the secretary of state’s office Tuesday was U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner, of suburban St. Louis, who is seeking reelection to a second term. For her, candidate filing was a two-day event. Wagner hosted a reception Monday for Republican lawmakers and also attended an event with numerous other politicians at the Missouri Farm Bureau headquarters. Then Wagner joined GOP Missouri House members at an early Tuesday caucus meeting at the state Capitol before filing her candidacy paperwork. The caucus provided a way to introduce new candidates to incumbents. There was a “lot of talk about family and unity and how to run a civil primary on the issues,” Wagner said. Several other members of Congress, including Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, of Kansas City, and Republican Rep. Jason Smith, of Salem, also were among the first to file for re-election Tuesday. The first person in line was state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a Democrat from St. Louis. She arrived at the secretary of state’s office more than an hour and a half before filing began. “It’s my winning tradition,” Chappelle-Nadal said. “People say showing up is half the battle. Showing up early is very important — it’s part of the work ethic. People appreciate that.” Missouri’s candidacy filing runs through March 25.

Survive and advance By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
The seeding proved correct Tuesday night in Mound City at the Class 1, District 16 boys’ basketball tournament as the fourth-seeded Nodaway-Holt Trojans downed the fifth-seeded Longhorns of South Nodaway 52-48 in opening round action. South Nodaway came out shooting the ball very well, and opened up a 16-6 lead at the end of the first quarter behind six points from senior guard Damien Willmore. “We had good intensity all night,” Longhorn coach Dustin Skoglund said, “and we came out shooting the ball very well.” The Trojans came back in quarter No. 2 to close the gap to one at 25-24 by halftime. Junior posts Cody Schniedermeyer and Jackson Beattie led the comeback effort for the Trojans with seven and six points, respectively. “Cody and Jackson really brought us back in the second quarter,” Trojan coach Terry Petersen said. Nodaway-Holt outscored South Nodaway 17-10 in the third quarter to take a 41-34 lead, as seniors Nick Patterson, with six points, and Brice Shamberger, with five, led Nodaway-Holt back in front.
In the fourth quarter, South Nodaway outscored the Trojans 13-11, and at one point, closed the margin to two points. Two clutch free throws by Beattie clinched the win for Nodaway-Holt, moving them to 17-8 on the season. Willmore led South Nodaway with 13 points, while senior Dalton Murphy added 11 and fellow senior Zeb Coleman finished with 10 for the Longhorns, who finish at 5-18 on the season. “We had several kids play their best games of the season tonight,” Skoglund said. “We finally got four quarters of intensity and effort that we’ve been striving for.” Beattie led Nodaway-Holt with 14 points, while Patterson chipped in with 12. Senior Devin Albertson added 10 points for the Trojans, while Schniedermeyer finished with nine. “Survive and advance,” Petersen said. “That’s the name of the game at this point in the season.” The Trojans will play top-seeded Mound City in Class 1 District 16 semifinal action Thursday. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m. in Mound City. Nodaway-Holt knocked off Mound City 56-55 back on Jan. 24 in their only headto-head matchup this season.
Jefferson overcomes early struggles against Tigers By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
After the first quarter, the Jefferson boys basketball team trailed Worth County 18-10. From then on, Jefferson turned on the jets and blew the Tigers out in Class 1 District 15 play Tuesday night. After the first period, Jefferson outscored Worth County 60-17. Worth County jumped out to its early lead behind some strong defensive play and good shots in transition. “(Worth County sophomore Brevyn) Ross, first of all, is a great, great athlete,” Jefferson head coach Tim Jermain said. “We let him really get out in the open floor. When he gets out in the open floor, he not only gets to the basket real well, but is such a good passer. He really did a good job in that first quarter against us. We let him get loose in the open floor too many times in the first quarter.” Jefferson battled back in the second quarter behind some hot three-point shooting. Senior guard Alex Holtman had a trio of three-point shots in the frame. Sophomore guard Ben Jermain also put down a threepoint bucket with less than five second to go in the half, putting Jefferson up 30-25 at the break. “I told (Alex) when he came out in the first half to keep shooting because they were letting him shoot,” Jermain said. “I told him that he could knock those down. We also hit one going into halftime that gave us some
momentum. We did a really good job coming out and building on that momentum coming out in the second half.” The hot shooting continued in the second half for the Eagles, who put up 26 points in the third quarter alone. Jefferson had a balanced scoring attack in the quarter, with the 26 points coming from eight players. The Eagles held a 56-33 lead going into the final frame and only expanded on it, only allowing the Tigers to score two points in the final quarter. “It all starts at the defensive end,” Jermain said. “We did some things early that showed we weren’t very focused defensively. We didn’t look ready for them to attack our press, but I think we did a really good job of focusing on what we needed to do.” Behind hot shooting and fast defense, the Eagles came away with the victory, 70-35. “I think defense is the biggest key for us all the time,” Jermain said. “We had some good shots early around the basket that just didn’t go down. That’s gonna happen, but our defense is gonna have to stay constant.” Sophomore post Bryce Deen led the Eagles’ scoring attack with 16 points. Holtman also put in 11 points in the opening round victory. Jefferson will move on to play No. 3 East Harrison in the second round of the Class 1 District 15 Tournament. The game will tip-off Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. in Eagleville. East Harrison topped host team North Harrison 57-36 in their opening round game.
Panthers blister Stangs By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Top-seeded Mound City lived up to the expectations of a No. 1 seed by jumping on eighthseeded North Nodaway early and never letting up in cruising to a 68-24 victory in the opening round of the Class 1, District 16 basketball tournament in Mound City. The Panthers jumped out to an 18-3 first quarter lead over North Nodaway, which was playing without starting point guard, freshman Peyton Coleman, who was sidelined with a broken thumb. “Mound City is so quick defensively,” Mustang coach Chris Schoning said. “And without Peyton, they really had a chance to control the tempo of the game.” By halftime, the Mound City lead had swelled to 38-14, despite nine Mustang points from sophomore guard Koby Reynolds.
“We tried to play zone, but they shot us out of that,” Schoning said. “So we tried some manto-man, and it didn’t work too badly, considering how much smaller we are than Mound City.” Mound City turned up the defensive intensity in the third quarter, outscoring North Nodaway 24-0 to take a commanding 62-14 lead. North Nodaway outscored the Panthers 10-6 in the final stanza, to create the final 68-24 margin. Reynolds led the Mustangs with nine points, as they finish 2-23 on the year. “Even though we didn’t have the won-loss record everyone would have liked, we had a lot of young kids gain a ton of varsity experience, which will help them going forward,” Schoning said. “I’m proud of the effort STEVE HARTMAN/DAILY FORUM they gave each and every night, and I told them after the game they have a chance to be .500 or better next year if they’re willing North Nodaway sophomore guard Koby Reynolds drives for two of his team-high nine points Tuesday night in Mound to put in the work.” City at the District 16 tournament.

Hounds down Cameron again, move on to semis By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Maryville and Cameron are used to seeing each other this time of year, and despite the lower district seeds than normal, the game didn’t disappoint. “We’ve played them in the district for many, many years and have had classic battles,” head coach Mike Kuwitzky said. “Usually our seeds weren’t this low, usually we’re one and two almost every year. It was a little unusual this year, but it was still districts and it was still Cameron and it was still fun to win.” The Spoofhounds got off to a sluggish start in their Class 3, District 16 opener, but got an early spark from their bench to right the ship and ultimately keep their season alive. “We got off to a terrible start,” Kuwitzky said. “We were down 8-2 and we were sluggish. We weren’t playing very intense and I was concerned that we hadn’t showed up to play, but then we turned it around. The bench came in and gave us a spark. Some of the younger guys really gave us a spark.” The Hounds responded and grabbed a 25-18 lead by halftime and pushed their lead out a little more in the second half to claim their second double-digit victory over Cameron in eight days.
“Then the starters came back in and played like they were supposed to, so the rest of the game, I thought we competed hard and maintained a steady lead,” Kuwitzky said. The Hounds led 39-28 at the end of the third quarter and pushed it out another point to 54-42 to top the Feb. 17’s 53-42 victory by a point. Junior post Jacob Cacek turned in a team-high 13 points while senior forward Ty Hilsabeck and freshman guard Spencer Morrison added 10 points a piece. Morrison and freshman guard Trey Oglesby were key off the bench in the first half, turning the game in the Spoofhounds’ favor. Maryville (6-17) moves on to face topseeded Lawson in the Thursday night’s semifinals in Lathrop. The Cardinals beat eighth-seeded Lathrop 62-27 on Tuesday. Lawson got the better of Maryville early in the season, beating the Hounds 71-42 on Jan. 28 in the Cameron Tournament. “It feels great to move on. We really needed this win. Anytime you move on to the next round in the districts, you’ve always got a chance, so we’re very excited to have another opportunity to play Lawson. They beat us big in the Cameron Tournament, but districts is a different animal — anything can happen. I’ve seen four and five seeds upset the one seed, so that’s what we’re hoping for.”

With 35.4 seconds to go in Northeast Nodaway’s Class I District 15 opening round matchup with Mercer, the game looked like it was about to head to overtime, but that’s when Northeast Nodaway senior post Joel Scroggie took the game into his hands. The Bluejays got a stop on the defensive end and brought the ball back up the floor to look for a chance to win the game. The ball was fed into Scroggie, who put up a contested layup to give the Bluejays a 35-33 lead. Mercer then brought the ball down the court with less than 10 seconds to play and put up a shot in the post to tie the game, which met the hand of Scroggie for the sixth time, as time expired. From the opening tip, the game was closely contested. Northeast Nodaway only led 17-13 at halftime. The third quarter was a defensive battle for both teams, with Mercer outscoring Northeast Nodaway 7-4. “We weren’t getting the buckets we needed to offensively,” Northeast Nodaway coach Chaim Jenkins said. “So we knew if we were going to win this, it was going to be at the defensive end. They really knew they needed to put the pressure on and it was great to see them come out and do that.” The Bluejays rode their one-point lead
into the final quarter and traded buckets with the Cardinals throughout the final period. The Bluejays were up two with five minutes to play when Mercer hit a three. Bluejays senior guard Steve Schulte immediately answered with a three of his own to put the Bluejays back ahead. The same exchange happened with two minutes to play, this time with junior guard Garet Jackson hitting the three for the Jays. “I’m proud of how big our guys played,” Jenkins said. “They take some big shots. They really don’t seem to be worried about anything. They never get in a panic mode and it shows. Never for a second. Anytime we’re down like this, they always feel like they have the game and they shoot like they have the game. It’s great to see that confidence from them.” Scroggie led the Bluejays with 15 points, along with his six blocks. Schulte came up with eight points in the hard-fought victory. “All night we were trying to think of new ways to get (Scroggie) the ball down low,” Jenkins said. “It was a matter of getting him open. He had a heck of a game and his presence was definitely felt.” Northeast Nodaway will face No. 1 seed Stanberry in the semifinal round of the Class 1 District 15 Tournament at 6 p.m. Thursday at North Harrison High School. The Jays lost 71-35 to the Bulldogs in the season opener.

Rockets take off against Hornets By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Third-seeded West Nodaway held sixthseeded Craig-Fairfax without a field goal for the entire first half, and used that defensive momentum to post a 63-28 victory in Class 1, District 16 action at Mound City Tuesday night. The Rockets jumped out to an 8-1 lead at the end of the first quarter, and expanded the lead to 22-4 by halftime. “Our defense was solid, and we were able to jump out to an early lead and control the tempo of the game,” Rocket coach Roger Johnson said. West Nodaway extended its lead in the
third quarter by outscoring Craig/Fairfax 21-8 to take a 43-12 lead, and from there, cruised to the victory. Junior guard Trevor Meyer led the Rockets with 15 points, while sophomore guard Jaden Gillenwater added 13 points and senior post Jonathon Madere chipped in with 12. West Nodaway, now 16-9 on the season, will meet second-seeded Rock Port in the district semifinals Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. The Blue Jays beat the Rockets 48-32 back on Dec. 13. “We will have to be aggressive,” Johnson said. “Rock Port plays tough defense and is very physical, and we need to match them in both areas and do a good job on the boards.”

CAPITOL BRIEFS House endorses tax plan
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri House members have endorsed the first change in Missouri’s income tax brackets since the Great Depression. A bill given initial approval Monday would require Missouri’s tax brackets to be adjusted annually for inflation starting in 2015. Although the tax rates have changed over time, Missouri’s top income tax bracket has been set at $9,000 since 1931. That means all income over that amount is taxed at the same 6 percent rate. Republican House member Paul Curtman, of Pacific, is sponsoring the tax-bracket legislation. He says that while $9,000 may have been a decent income during the Great Depression, it now falls below the poverty level. Legislative researchers estimate the tax-bracket adjustment could reduce state tax revenues by $26 million when it’s fully in effect.
Panel ignores wait list plan
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri House panel isn’t going along with Gov. Jay Nixon’s plan to tackle a waiting list for hundreds of developmentally disabled people seeking in-home care services. Nixon asked lawmakers for $24 million for the services for people qualifying for Medicaid, which state officials estimate would cover 970 people. The wait list currently stands at 1,400 people. But the House health and social services funding panel didn’t include the money in its recommendation to the full Budget Committee on Monday. The panel’s chairman, Rep. Sue Allen, said discussions were ongoing about whether to include the funding in the upcoming fiscal year that begins in July. The panel did recommend funding increases in other services for the developmentally disabled that Allen says would partially reduce the wait list.
STATE BRIEFS Stephens gets $15M gift
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Stephens College has received a $15 million donation, the largest gift in the central Missouri school’s history. The $15 million gift was from an anonymous donor and isn’t tied to a particular program or purpose. Stephens President Dianne Lynch will make recommendations to the trustees about where the dollars should go. Lynch says the money isn’t being treated as replacement dollars, and the funding “will shape Stephens College into its next century.” The second-largest gift the college received in its 180year history was a $3 million donation in 2006 from Carolyn Boone and her late husband, Jack. That money was used to fund the final phase of Lela Raney Wood Hall renovations, and the administrative third floor is named in Carolyn Boone’s honor.
Congressman against wood stove rules
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer is urging the federal Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider newly proposed regulations for wood-burning stoves. Luetkemeyer sent a letter Tuesday to the EPA administrator saying the proposed regulations could increase the costs of manufacturing wood-burning heaters. He said that could make them unaffordable to many people and drive some small manufacturers out of business. The EPA wants to significantly reduce the particle pollution flowing from the smokestacks of wood stoves as a way to improve air quality. The tougher regulations would be phased in over five years. Luetkemeyer, who represents parts of central and eastern Missouri, called the proposal “silly” and “regulatory nonsense.” Missouri congressman Jason Smith, of southeast Missouri, has described the EPA regulations as “a war on rural America.”

Cats and dogs
Northwest Missouri State University football players (pictured from left) Bryce Enyard, C.J. Keeney, Dylan Chadwick, Zach Callahan and Cole Jones teamed up Saturday with the New Nodaway Humane Society to help place pets from the society’s Maryville shelter. The adoption event took place at the Orscheln Farm & Home store on South Main.
Man’s best friend remains on sale By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
The New Nodaway Humane Society has begun a new push for local pet placements — the Lucky Clover Adoption Event. The campaign will run through March 15, and until then shelter animals will be offered to potential owners at half price — $40 for dogs and $35 for cats. A few animals that have been at the Maryville shelter for an extended period are being offered at an even steeper discount, $20 for selected dogs and $10 for selected cats. The event was organized in response to the success of February’s Valentine’s Day adoption effort, which shelter staff say made a real dent in the facility’s animal population. “It has really brought the population down,” said Sue Hoskey, who serves as shelter secretary. “It has really helped.”
Currently there are 55 cats and 46 dogs at the humane society shelter, about half the number of animals that were living there late last year. “Early winter we had, at one point, around 125 cats and 75 dogs,” Hoskey said. The Lucky Clover Adoption Event also includes a Shamrock Special that could provide some lucky owner with a free pet. “There’s a board that has shamrocks on it and has different prices,” Hoskey said. “When a person gets ready to adopt, they can pull up a shamrock. There are two free adoption shamrocks on the board. If they happen to lift a free shamrock, they could possibly end up with a free animal.” Hoskey said January and February are usually slow in terms of adoptions, but that cutting fees has led to more animals finding “forever homes.” “We are seeing more fam-

ilies coming in,” Hoskey said. “But the college kids are adopting also. Some of the college kids can have cats, which can be left alone a little bit easier than a dog.” Humane Society members are unsure if the organization can afford to keep fees discounted indefinitely, but they do plan to keep pro-
moting adoptions both at the shelter and at special events elsewhere. “We will be out at Watkins (True Value Hardware & Appliance) on Saturday,” Hoskey said. “We will have some dogs and possibly a cat or two.” The Watkins event is from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Concentrate your abilities on working toward a personal goal. Make good use of all the resources available to you, and don’t allow the pessimistic attitudes of others to dissuade you. Be on the alert for opportunities, and take full advantage of them when they appear. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be businesslike in your dealings. Someone may be overly interested in your personal life. Keep them guessing about your private matters, and be careful not to reveal too much. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Preparation and organization will be key today. Someone may not be forthright regarding a touchy situation. If you wait until the last minute, you risk becoming overwhelmed by the issues at hand. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make plans to have fun with friends, or arrange an outing with your lover. Deal with your responsibilities in advance so that no one will find fault with your actions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your clever ideas and innovative solutions will lead to a moneymaking venture. Determine exactly what you want to achieve and then work hard in service of your goals. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It’s a good day to review paperwork and financial records. Make changes to improve your savings and investments. Reward yourself by spending a romantic evening with someone you love. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are in a romantic mood today. Don’t get carried

Overtricks can be oh so tempting
Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.
Denis Waitley, a founding member of the National Council on Self-Esteem, said, “Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to
away and offer untrue or frivolous declarations of your feelings. Your relationship will only be strengthened by your honesty and devotion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It’s time for a little pampering. You may decide to lift your spirits by getting together with your special someone, or perhaps even treating yourself to a new look or outfit. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It is not necessary to seek approval from others for all of your plans. You can gain a new perspective and improve your outlook by exploring new locations or experiences for yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Trying to please others will only cause you frustration. Although people may have your best interests at heart, focusing on your own goals will keep you on the sure path to success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -With determination and self-discipline, one of your many hobbies could prove profitable. A close look at your various interests may reveal the opportunity for financial gain that you have been seeking. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Following your intuition will lead to inspiration. However, persistence, determination and dedication will be the necessary ingredients for positive results. Avoid negativity and doubt -- they will only interfere with your dreams. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Changes are on the horizon. Make the effort to expand your knowledge and insights by joining a club, class or other activity that is interesting to you. New circumstances will also provide new friendships.
make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.” That is true, but sometimes, at the bridge table, trying for an extra trick can prove very expensive. Still, occasionally a defender can dangle a tempting carrot that leaves declarer thinking he has a no-cost shot at an overtrick. In this deal, South is in three no-trump, and West leads the heart 10. How might West tempt declarer into an indiscretion? South should open one no-trump. Yes, the club holding of two honors doubleton is a minus, but the five-card suit is a compensating plus. Declarer starts with seven top tricks: three hearts (given the opening lead), one diamond and three clubs. Obviously, he will attack clubs. However, West can set a nasty trap for South. Declarer takes the first trick in his hand and cashes the club king. West should play his five. Then, when South continues with the
club queen, West should drop his eight. He is trying to make it look as though he started with J-8-5 and East with the 6-4-doubleton (and was starting a high-low with his six). If declarer falls for the ruse, he will win the third trick with his queen and suddenly find that he cannot make the contract. Instead, South must overtake his club queen with dummy’s ace and continue with the club 10 to drive out West’s jack. Then declarer gets at least three hearts, one diamond and five clubs.
