‘Soap Sister’ turns hobby into business By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

“Then they are real monks when they live by the labor of their hands.” — Saint Benedict Fourteen years ago, the gift of a bar of French lavender soap inspired Benedictine Sister of Perpetual Adoration Cathleen Marie Timberlake to begin a journey that led first to a hobby and eventually to an occupation, which supports herself and the monastery, all the while staying true to the Benedictine tradition of working with the hands to support oneself. “When I received that bar of soap,” Sister Cathleen said, “I felt like I could make something similar myself.” After reading everything she could find on the Internet for nearly two years about making soap by hand, Sister Cathleen began her soap-making hobby in earnest. “I also contacted several people who were already making soap,” Sister Cathleen said. “They were very generous about sharing information with me.” Soon, Sister Cathleen began incorporating holy water into her

soap as a way to connect her monastic life of prayer with her hobby of making soap. “I thought including holy water in each batch of soap was a great way to connect both main facets of my life which are prayer and soap-making, as well as extending our ministry of prayer.” As demand grew for Sister Cathleen’s handcrafted soaps, the hobby developed into a business, which prompted the development of Monastery Scents as a way to market the ever-growing line of handcrafted soaps, lotions, lip balms and scrubs. From these humble beginnings, Monastery Scents has steadily grown over the past decade as demand has increased and the product line has grown and developed. “Since last September, we’ve produced 9,500 soaps,” Sister Cathleen said. Production of such quantity is made possible because of a steam-jacketed kettle that Sister Cathleen purchased several years ago. “The kettle has two pots, and each pot produces 150 bars of soap,” Sister Cathleen said. Molds are filled with 16 pounds of still-liquid soap, which is then See SISTER Page 5

Maryville City Council Candidate Profile

Tim Shipley in race for one of three open city council seats EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second of three Daily Forum profiles on candidates seeking election to the Maryville City Council in the April 8 municipal election. Those running include Rachael Martin, Tim Shipley and Adam Switzer. Of the three candidates, the top two vote-getters will fill seats on the city’s five-person governing board currently held by Jim Fall and Ron Moss, who announced earlier that they would not seek reelection. The profiles are based on answers to questions submitted to each candidate by Daily Forum News Editor Tony Brown. Timothy A. Shipley, 36, is a project manager (rail unloading machines) for Herzog Railroad Services Inc. He is a lifelong Maryville resident and graduated from Maryville High School in 1996 before going on to earn a bachelor’s degree in geography from Northwest Missouri State University in 2002. He also spent time studying abroad in London, England. Shipley serves on the Board of Trustees of the First Presbyterian Church of Maryville and is a 15-year member of the Maryville Elks Lodge. He and his wife, Nancy, are the

parents of one son, Renner, age 16 months. Like his two opponents in the council race, he is a newcomer to local politics and has never held elective office. I want to serve on the City Council because ...
 “I think this is an exciting time for growth in Maryville. There’s a lot going on at local, state and federal levels as we move away from the recent economic downturn. If we partner with Northwest Missouri State University to attract new businesses, new talent and new directions in the community, I think we can build on our bases of agriculture and industry creating job opportunities in some promising growth industries. “I also hope to be a part of making our community an attractive, healthy, safe environment for families. If we can focus on education at all levels, infrastructure improvement, recreation and beautification, among other things, we’ll be able to realize some common goals of communities like ours where quality employment opportunities are abundant and quality of life is continuously improving.”

OFFICE NUMBER

660-562-2424

If elected, my top priorities will be … • Infrastructure improvement (sewer/water/permanent streets). • Partnering with the University to attract startup businesses. • Putting Maryville on the map with a productive and proactive approach to energy innovation, such as a wind farm or natural gas vehicle/fleet vehicle fueling agreement. Shipley noted that these last proposals would be a good opportunity for the city to partner with Northwest Missouri State University. The biggest challenge facing Maryville is ...
 “It’s hard to qualify what might be Maryville’s biggest challenge, but I think we need to focus on keeping graduates in town rather than watching them leave after graduation. We need to work with large employers from Kansas City, Des Moines, and Omaha (such as Cerner) at setting up offices in Maryville to keep graduates here and help Maryville grow with good paying jobs.”

 I am qualified to sit on the council because ...
 “I think I have a qualified understanding of at least some issues the community faces and a vision for how to establish and accomplish our goals as a community. Having been raised here, I have a vested interest in helping Maryville to thrive.” The best thing about living in Maryville is ...
 “At the risk of sounding trite, I like that

Tim Shipley Maryville is a small yet progressive community. It’s nice to know neighbors, business owners, coaches, teachers and politicians — all on a first name basis.”

 What changes would you like to see? “I really want to see growth in tourism anchored by Mozingo Lake. I want to see Maryville make headlines with innovation, progressive and aggressive approaches to job creation and energy production/utilization. I’d like to see at least a plan for a formal venue of some kind for large formal events. We have an outstanding community center, but it’s not really suited to host large/ major formal events.”

LOCAL NEWS Maryville man injured in motorcycle wreck

MARYVILLE — A Maryville man was injured Monday evening when he lost control of his motorcycle and wrecked. Kyle J. Miller, 24, was traveling northbound on Icon Road near the Maryville city limits around 7 p.m. Monday when he lost control of his 2004 Kawasaki motorcycle after accelerating rapidly. Miller traveled off the east side of the road into a ditch and overturned, ejecting Miller from his motorcycle. Miller suffered moderate injuries and his motorcycle was totaled in the wreck and towed by Boyles Motors. He was taken to St Francis Hospital by Nodaway County Ambulance. Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. B. Ziegler investigated the crash and was assisted by the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Dept., Maryville Public Safety and Maryville Fire and Rescue.

Stanberry man rolls vehicle on US 136

STANBERRY — A Stanberry man suffered moderate injuries Monday afternoon after the service truck he was driving overturned west of Stanberry. Donald A. Stoll, 78, was traveling eastbound on US 136 at 1:30 p.m. Monday when he traveled off the south side of the road and overturned the 1998 International he was driving. The vehicle came to a rest on its passenger side on the south side of the roadway. Stoll was transported to Heartland Regional Medical Center by Gentry County Ambulance. The crash was investigated by Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. G.N. Howard, who was assisted by trooper B.L. Israel and the Gentry County Sheriff’s Department.

CAPITOL NEWS Nixon proposes $3.5M for utility assistance

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is recommending the addition of $3.5 million to a mid-year spending measure for fuel and utility assistance for low-income residents. Nixon’s proposal calls for adding funding for the Utilicare program administered by the Department of Social Services. The mid-year spending measure was approved last week by the House and was sent to the Senate. House members included about $2.7 million for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Nixon’s budget director said the governor’s proposal is more consistent with how officials have handled it when state money is available for the program. The governor’s office said the funding would be allocated to Community Action Agencies and the Urban Leagues. It would help about 5,600 households statewide.

House endorses performance funding

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House of Representatives has endorsed legislation that would implement performance-based funding for public universities and community colleges. Under the bill advanced Monday, the schools would work with the Department of Higher Education to develop goals, such as graduation and retention rates, that would then be used to determine part of their funding. The performance-based goals would only apply in years the state can afford to increase funding for higher education. Missouri used performance standards to determine college funding increases during the current budget year, but the legislation would ensure the practice continues. The bill needs one more House vote before moving to the Senate, which passed a similar measure last month. The Senate version does not include community colleges and would expire in 2016.

City manager, assistant on conference schedule By JIM FALL

Executive editor

City administrators are scheduled to make a second appearance at the International Town-Gown Association’s convention in June. Maryville City Manager Greg McDanel and Assistant City Manager Ryan Heiland will be two of an estimated 40 presenters during the ITGA international conference June 1-4 in Clemson, S.C. The Maryville duo, which spoke at the convention last year about the collaboration of the city and Northwest Missouri State University on the development of the new Fourth Street Corridor that will link Downtown Maryville with the main entrance to the university campus, will report this year on the involvement of Northwest students in changes taking place at the city-owned Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. “We are honored to be able to showcase Maryville and Northwest at the international level represented at the ITGA meeting,” McDanel said.

Greg McDanel

Ryan Heiland

“There will be between 40 and 45 different groups presenting during the course of the conference, and some will have representatives of municipal governments, but like last year, I understand we will be the only speakers representing a municipality. The program is typically heavy on the ‘gown’ portion.” The Maryville presentation will focus on the ongoing partnership between the city and Northwest classes to solve municipal challenges.

More than a year ago, when the city began to redefine the public image for the 3,000-acre city park that features a 1,000-acre lake and an 18-hole championship golf course, assistance was sought from an Advanced Advertising class at Northwest. The project was originally designed to include one trimester, but ultimately spanned the following trimester as well. After the conceptual portion of the project was completed, the class assisted in the design and implementa-

tion of the program, including assistance in the development of a new logo and help with new slogans and advertising materials. In promoting the Maryville part of the ITGA programming, the advance materials tout the students’ participation, which “have transformed the park into a regional tourism draw, captured the interest of national hotel/conference center developers and (helped in securing) the construction of a nine-hole youth golf course designed by legendary golfer Tom Watson.” The session to be directed by McDanel and Heiland, will also “outline strategies for opening municipal issues to students and identify ways to foster unique Town & Gown initiatives,” according to pre-conference materials. The presentation will address the success of the student-led park rebranding efforts and detail the impact that and other cooperative efforts have had on Maryville and touch on “other classroom partnerships that have blossomed from the experience.”

EMT-B students complete work By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

Eight EMT-B students enrolled in an EMT training program at Northwest Technical School have completed the classroom portion of their training. The class, which began in October, involved 155 hours of classroom training. In addition, each successful graduate will have a minimum of 40 hours of clinical experience, which is to include at least 20 patient contacts. For instructor Jeff Hall, a local EMT, this is the fourth class he has taught at the school. Hall has been a certified EMT instructor since 2005. “We’ve had as many as 15 students in a class,” Hall said. “But we found it was tough to spend the necessary one-on-one time with that many students. So we changed our interview process a couple of years ago. We try to make sure each individual we select will stay with the program.

EMT training complete

STEVE HARTMAN/DAILY FORUM

Eight EMT-B students completed the classroom portion of their class at Northwest Technical School on Monday night. The graduates are, from left: Matt E. Johnson, Clyde Chapman, Tyler Frueh, Kahlea Davis, Matt A. Johnson, Kristen Dodge, Chris Scroggins and Michelle Ebersole. “In the process, we cut our class numbers down to a more manageable number. Eight is a great number to work with.” Seven of the eight current graduates are Nodaway County residents and range in age from 18 years old to 45 years old. Two of the “elder” members of the class, Matt A. Johnson and Matt E. Johnson, explained

their reasons for taking the class and becoming certified EMTs. “I work at NUCOR,” Matt E. Johnson said, “and in that environment, with a factory that size doing what we do, we need more people with the type of training that the EMT class has given me. We can’t have too many people who have some basic medical or first aid train-

ing.” For Northwest Missouri State University history instructor Matt A. Johnson, joining the volunteer fire department necessitated the training. “I really felt like EMT training was a must for me after joining the fire department,” Matt A. Johnson said. “Plus, it’s just good life knowledge to have.”

Rein in awards for lawsuits

St. Joseph News-Press

Rural Missouri, even more than our big cities, needs reasonable limits on the amount of money people can receive from medical malpractice claims. To understand this is to place individual suits for damages in perspective. No limits on damage awards eventually will negatively impact everyone who needs reasonably priced health care and access to care, including such in-demand services as obstetrics and other medical specialties. And let’s face it, these problems will be magnified in already underserved rural areas that scrape to find and retain physicians and other medical professionals. Those are facts. Our opinion tracks closely with these realities. First, anyone injured at the hands of a medical professional should expect to get every dime due them for economic damages suffered. Among these entirely understandable and quantifiable claims are ones for the costs of past and future medical care, lost wages and expected losses of future earnings. Second, a remedy also is needed for those persons who can establish they have suffered non-economic damages such as emotional distress or pain and suffering. But these hard-to-quantify losses require reasonable limits so as not to allow wildly erratic awards that on their face can seem both excessive and unfair. In 2005, Missouri passed a successful reform law. In the seven years that followed, lawsuits against physicians dropped almost 58 percent, the state added nearly 1,000 doctors and liability insurance premiums fell $27 million, according to the Missouri State Medical Association. That law, with a $350,000 cap on non-economic damages and no cap on economic damages, worked to drive down the cost of medicine and to encourage doctors to practice in our state — including in rural areas. Our state Supreme Court two years ago struck down the previous cap on damages, but new legislation before the General Assembly seeks to reinstate the limits. We support this proposal because it both preserves access to justice for injured patients, while also preserving access to medical care.

State manual back in print Jefferson City News Tribune

Count us among Missourians who are delighted the state’s official manual, the “Blue Book,” is returning to print. Through a partnership with the Missouri Press Association, a printed version of the 2013-14 manual will be produced, according to Secretary of State Jason Kander. As a result of a legislative effort to save the state money, … the manual has been available only online since 2011. The Blue Book is the “go-to” manual for information pertaining to state government. … The manual is a much-used resource for journalists, but we believe it also is useful for anyone … interested in state government. … The manual earned its nickname because its cover traditionally has been blue. A long-standing excep-

tion occurred during most of former Secretary of State James Kirkpatrick’s tenure. Kirkpatrick … saluted his Irish heritage by publishing the book in green (three times). He deviated … (in) 197172 (with) black and gold to honor the University of Missouri and … 1975-76, in red, white and blue to commemorate the nation’s bicentennial. The only other deviation from the traditional blue occurred in the 1993-94 edition when Secretary of State Judi Moriarty selected a mauve color. MPA Executive Director Doug Crews acknowledged the practical and historical value of a printed state manual. “We look forward to putting this comprehensive resource back into print,” he said. … “One hundred years from now, a Blue Book on the shelf will still be easily retrievable and readable.” …

A MINUTE WITH MIKE

Tax considerations sharing House time with cancer bill

Action is picking up quickly in the Missouri House. Last week was our most productive week thus far. We moved several things to the Senate for further discussion, truly agreed to and passed a bill that is on the governor’s desk, passed the supplemental budget out of the House and made some considerable progress on the budget for fiscal year 2015. Several bills were sent to the Senate that would hopefully help grow Missouri’s economy and spur new job creation in our state. Most of these incentives would involve tax credits, deductions or exemptions that would incentivize individuals to invest in Missouri businesses, relocate businesses to Missouri, or grow businesses that are already located in our state. It seems that tax cuts and incentives to businesses that will promote economic growth in Missouri will continue to be a priority in both the House and Senate. It will be interesting to see how this develops as we look for ways to give Missourians a “break” without compromising our ability to provide the services they expect. Senate Bill 668, which was passed last week and sent to the governor, moves us closer to being the 29th state to enact a law to ensure cancer patients have affordable access to life-saving oral chemotherapy

medications. This legislation would eliminate the co-payment cost disparity that currently exists between orally and intravenously-administered chemotherapies. Given the fact that orally-administered treatments are actually cheaper than those administered by IV, it is hard to rationalize how oral

Mike Thomson medications are far more costly for many patients in Missouri. When you also factor in that many cancer treatments currently under development are oral in nature, it becomes even clearer that something must be done to ensure access to these treatments. The bill we passed last week will bring insurance coverage parity to

both forms of chemotherapy — intravenous and pill form — by simply requiring plans that already cover traditional chemotherapies to also cover oral chemotherapy products. This simple change could have a huge impact on the lives of Missourians battling cancer who want nothing more than affordable access to these life-saving treatment options. Actuarial studies show that this should not cause any significant increase in insurance premiums. Also last week, House Budget Chair Rick Stream unveiled a proposed spending plan that would take funding for K-12 education to record levels, provide a modest funding boost to public universities and community colleges and significantly increase financial assistance to Missouri students who seek a college education in Missouri. We know that our best opportunities for economic growth come from our full support of a great education system in our state. I hope we can keep this in perspective as we continue to negotiate the many facets of our budget and the needs of Missouri.

STRAIGHT TALK FROM SAM

President’s budget irresponsible The President’s Irresponsible Budget A budget is a fiscal blueprint of the future. It is an outline of one’s priorities that tells you what an individual or group considers important, and also what they view as unimportant. 

 President Obama’s budget proposal for next year — which was delivered late once again, for the fifth time in six years — demonstrates that his priorities remain both higher taxes — to the tune of $1.8 trillion — and bigger government in the form of new spending. 

 On the other hand, it appears the president finds debt reduction to be unimportant. His budget does nothing to control the costs of our nation’s entitlement programs, and makes no attempt to

stop the reckless spending and get our debt under control. His proposal totals $3.9 trillion at a time when our

Sam Graves

federal government collects roughly $3 trillion in revenues — meaning more borrowing from countries like China will be required to finance his government spending. 

 With the federal debt totaling roughly $17.5 trillion, I had hoped that the President would do more to address our nation’s fiscal irresponsibility. Instead, this budget once again does not balance, it adds $8.3 trillion to the debt over the next 10 years, and it does more to grow the government rather than growing the economy.

 At the end of the day, unfortunately, the President’s budget is more of the same — more taxes, more spending, more borrowing, more debt, and more government. It is not a serious plan for our nation’s future.

CAPITOL NEWS Senate endorses single beer sales

STEVE HARTMAN/DAILY FORUM

Cleanliness is next to Godliness

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri retailers could start selling beer by the bottle under legislation given initial approval in the state Senate. State law currently prohibits stores from selling beer in packages that contain fewer than three bottles. The bill by Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt, of Glendale, would allow the sale of single bottles, cans or pouches of beer. Senators gave the bill preliminary approval Monday. A second vote is needed to send it to the House. If the measure is passed by both chambers and signed by the governor, single-serving beer sales could start in stores in 2015. Schmitt described the legislation as promoting freedom and liberty. Democratic Sen. Jolie Justus, of Kansas City, said it’s a neat way to help a lot of small businesses.

Sister Cathleen Marie Timberlake (left) and volunteer Wanda Goodspeed have accumulated a supply of handcrafted bars of soap produced by Sister Cathleen’s company, Monastery Scents. The pair handcrafts 40 different fragrances of soap.

Sister turns hobby into business is front and center in every product Monastery Scents produces. She added natural flavoring to a batch of “Oh La La Cappichino” lip balm, then carefully sniffed the fragrance and shook her head. After some additional mixing of ingredients, Sister Cathleen sniffed the fragrance again, and deemed it correct. “We want each batch to smell the same,” Sister Cathleen said. “After all these years, there’s one sure way to assure quality control. “The nose knows! “We pray for everyone who buys our soap, and everyone who uses it,” Sister

Cathleen added. “The holy water mixed into each batch is our way to add blessings and prayer to the customer and user.” To learn more about Monastery Scents, their products and mission, visit their Web site, monasteryscents.com. Residential Glass Replacement • Storefronts

The Opportunity Workshop in Stanberry cuts large sheets of muslin into strips, then sews a pocket large enough to hold a bar of soap in each. Each bar of soap is hand-packaged in in the muslin bag, sealed and labeled. Monastery Scents handproduces 40 different fragrances of soaps along with assorted lip balms, lotions and scrubs. Swiss lavender continues to be the bestselling soap, which is only fitting since a lavenderscented soap was the gift that initially inspired Sister

Cathleen to begin making soap. “We began including our soaps in the Conception Abbey catalog several years ago,” Sister Cathleen said. “Now we have our own Web site and we have our products available at a few selected local and regional sites.” Soon, Sister Cathleen hopes to have Monastery Scents products available on one of the many homeshopping networks. “The double blessing of producing a superior product combined with providing us with a means to support our life of prayer is what has allowed us to grow so quickly,” Sister Cathleen said.

Softball splits with MIAA-rival Griffons ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — The Northwest Missouri State softball team dropped game one against Missouri Western, 5-0, but came back to take game two from the MIAA-rival Griffons with a 5-3 victory Tuesday afternoon. The Bearcat offense could not get the ball to fall its way in game one, as the Cats managed to put 23 balls in play during the game, but only managed three hits. Junior Abbie Vitosh was tagged with the loss after throwing 5.1 innings and allowing seven hits and five earned runs to cross the plate. Senior Jordan Ereth and freshmen Chantel Adams and Cassidy Lee recorded hits for Northwest. Game two was a different story for the Bearcat offense as it totaled 10 hits in the contest. The Griffons were first to get on the board when they put up two runs in the bottom of the third inning. The big inning came in the top of the fifth for Northwest as freshman Taylor Blackford led off with a walk. Freshman Torri Blythe reached on a single up the middle, which was followed by an RBI single off the bat of Ereth. Senior Kristen Uthe hit an infield single to load the bases

with one out. Junior Stephanie Mark ripped a single to left field to plate Blythe and tie the game up at 2-2. The Bearcats took the lead when Adams hit a fielder’s choice that scored Ereth from third. The final blow in the inning came when junior Taszia Roseberry hit a single down the right field line that scored Mark and Adams. When it was all said and done, Northwest went into the bottom of the fifth inning holding a 5-2 lead. Missouri Western got one run back in the sixth on the strength of a solo home run, but that would be it as sophomore Sarah Baldwin was able to shut the Griffons down the rest of the way to secure the 5-3 victory. Baldwin went the distance for the complete game earning the win as she gave up four hits, struck out four and gave up only two earned runs. Blythe, Ereth, Uthe and Mark all recorded two hits in the contest. With the victory the Bearcats move to 4-11, 1-5 in conference play on the season. Northwest will continue conference play as it heads to Southwest Baptist for a double-header Friday, with game one slated to start at 3 p.m.

Chiefs expected to be much quieter during free agency By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — When general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid were hired by the Chiefs last year, they knew that there would be plenty of turnover on a roster that produced just two wins. So, they predictably made a splash — the kind you make doing a cannonball off of the high diving board — in free agency, signing veterans such as Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson, picking up role players such as offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz and giving everything a fairly thorough overhaul. It all seemed to work, too. The Chiefs went 11-5 and made the playoffs. The downside of all that maneuvering is that now the team is starved for cash, and with free agency starting Tuesday, the Chiefs are looking at a much more modest splash. Think pebble-in-a-pond kind of splash. The priorities are interior offensive line, where Schwartz and Jon Asamoah are due to hit free agency, along with wide receiver and free safety. Offensive line and defensive back are two areas with depth, so Kansas City just might be able to make due with its shoestring budget. “No team stays the same, players or coaches, and we have free agents on this team,” Reid said. “We know that things happen in this league and there are changes that take place.” How many changes will be determined by how much wiggle room the Chiefs will have under the salary cap. As of last week, they had about $9.6 million to spare, and that doesn’t include the roughly $5 million that it’ll take to sign their own draft picks. That means filling their needs might take some creativity. The Chiefs have several massive contracts on their books, and could conceivably free up some wiggle room by restructuring or extending them. The two obvious candidates are Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry, who carries a massive $11.6 million cap hit, and quarterback Alex Smith, who counts about $8 million against the cap and whose contract expires after this season. In the case of Smith, the Chiefs have already acknowledged a desire to work out

an extension. They sent a package of draft picks to San Francisco last year for him and Smith responded with arguably the finest season of his career. “When we made the trade for him a year ago, that was part of the thinking,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt told Kansas City radio station 810 WHB in a recent interview. “I don’t think that thinking has changed. He came in and did a nice job. We’re glad to have him a part of the Kansas City Chiefs and we hope it’s longer than a two-year stay.” Massaging the current roster could free up enough cash for Kansas City to at least entertain the thought of filling their most glaring needs prior to the draft. Along with Schwartz and Asamoah becoming free agents, the Chiefs are also losing left tackle Branden Albert. But there’s an internal replacement for him in Donald Stephenson, who performed admirably in spot duty last year. The more pressing need is at guard, and there appears to be mutual interest in Schwartz and the Chiefs working out a deal. Wide receiver has been a vexing issue for years. The Chiefs cycled through possibilities but never settled on someone to take the pressure off Dwayne Bowe. And with Pro Bowl punt returner Dexter McCluster due to hit free agency, the big hole becomes a gaping one. The Chiefs have already signed Canadian Football League standout Weston Dressler, but he’s mainly a slot receiver. There is still a pressing need for someone who can stretch the field. Then there’s free safety, where Kendrick Lewis was torched by Indianapolis in the playoffs and was allowed to become a free agent. Buffalo’s Jairus Byrd would be the ideal fit, but he may break the budget, leaving Kansas City to sift through the second tier of candidates. When asked what he looks for in a safety, Dorsey replied with an answer that might be just as appropriate for every other position the Chiefs need to fill this offseason. “I could sit here and do a list of what the requirements of this and that are,” Dorsey said, “but at the end of the day, does the guy make plays? That’s kind of what you’re looking for.”

Brutal Big 12 tournament promises to be wide open By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas coach Bill Self was chatting this week with someone who brought up the possibility that some unfortunate team with a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament might have to play its second game against Oklahoma State, which was once considered a Final Four contender. “I said, ‘Just think if that happens in your conference tournament,’” Self responded. After winning their 10th straight regularseason title, the Jayhawks earned the top seed when the Big 12 tournament begins Wednesday night at the Sprint Center. But the reward is a first-round bye and a potential matchup with the eighth-seeded Cowboys in Thursday’s quarterfinals; the two teams split their two meetings this year. Oklahoma State plays No. 9 seed Texas Tech in the first game Wednesday night. Seventh-seeded Baylor takes on No. 10 seed TCU in the nightcap. “I think we’ve always had very competitive Big 12 tournaments,” Self said, “but I don’t know if I can ever remember where if there’s a final between whatever seeds there are, it would be absolutely not a major surprise to anybody. It’s going to be a pretty special weekend.” The Big 12 has been the runaway leader in conference RPI all season, and some believe that it could land seven or eight teams in the NCAA tournament on Selection Sunday. Just consider the games that will be played Thursday. Along with Kansas getting Oklahoma State or Texas Tech, second-seeded Oklahoma will play the Baylor-TCU winner, No. 3 seed Texas will play No. 6 seed West Virginia and No. 4 seed Iowa State will play No. 5 seed Kansas State. “This league,” Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said, “is by far the toughest in the country.” That’s why the Jayhawks still believe they can earn a No. 1 seed to the NCAA tournament, despite their 23-8 record. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State (20-11) is teetering around the bubble, and a win over Texas Tech might be enough to push the Cowboys firmly into the dance. Knocking off the Jayhawks would certainly do the trick. “We’re just trying to worry about the next game,” Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said, “and worrying about all that oth-

er stuff doesn’t really do you any good.” In that case, here are five things that fans should worry about: BUBBLE WATCH: Oklahoma State isn’t the only team on the NCAA tournament bubble. Baylor (21-10) would feel much better with a win or two, while West Virginia (17-14) hopes the momentum it picked up by knocking off Kansas last weekend will propel it to enough wins in Kansas City to make a case on Selection Sunday. “I think if we won two, we’d be in great shape,” Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said, “but I think if we can win that first one that we would be pretty good.” CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGE: Kansas is the only current member to have won the Big 12 Tournament since 2005 — twice since then, Missouri won the title. In fact, Oklahoma and Iowa Stare are the only current schools besides the Jayhawks and Cowboys to have won. “No matter what people say, no matter what other teams do,” Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart said, “it goes through Kansas.” STAR WATCH: There will be stars-aplenty at the Big 12 tournament. Andrew Wiggins of Kansas is a potential No. 1 draft pick, Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim is the Big 12 Player of the Year and Smart is also a potential lottery pick. But one player who won’t be on the floor is Jayhawks center Joel Embiid, who’s been ruled out for the Big 12 Tournament and unlikely for the first week of the NCAA tournament because of a stress fracture in his back. HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE: Local schools Kansas and Kansas State always pack the Sprint Center, but Iowa State also tends to draw well — its campus is a reasonable drive from Kansas City. That means it’ll be tough to secure a ticket to Thursday’s first session, when the Cyclones play the Wildcats and Kansas is also in action in a tantalizing double-header. LONGSHOTS: Even longshots have coaches concerned this year. Texas Tech is the No. 9 seed, but has wins over Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas on its resume. And nobody thought TCU would go winless in the league, so the No. 10 seed Horned Frogs could be primed for a firstround upset of the Bears. “We’re going to do our best to keep within striking distance, like we have all year long, and give ourselves a chance down the stretch,” TCU coach Trent Johnson said.

Missouri Tigers open spring practice COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri opened spring football practice Tuesday without several familiar faces. After winning 12 games, the Southeastern Conference’s East Division and the Cotton Bowl last season, the Tigers are without SEC Defensive Player of the Year Michael Sam and quarterback James Franklin. Running back Henry Josey and defensive end Kony Ealy are also gone after declaring for the NFL Draft. Much of the attention preseason will revolve around sophomore Maty Mauk, whom coach Gary Pinkel hasn’t named the

starting quarterback, but figures to have the upper hand after winning three games and saving another last season in place of an injured Franklin. The team will scrimmage twice next month before concluding spring camp with its annual Black and Gold Game on April 19. Missouri opens its season Saturday, August 30 by hosting South Dakota State at Faurot Field. The Tigers will also host Arkansas on Thanksgiving weekend, in the first visit to Columbia by the Razorbacks since 1906.

Does south need to finesse to work?

Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

David Cone, who pitched a perfect game for the Yankees in 1999, said, “I’m a finesse pitcher without the finesse.” That gives a good hint for today’s deal. South is in six

high cycle, so take advantage of any opportunity to express your likes or dislikes. Make travel plans. A change of scenery will add a spark to a relationship. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A stressful money matter can be resolved. Don’t feel torn between problems at work and issues at home. Trust your judgment. Advice from others may lead you astray. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You may not realize it, but communication and networking will pave the way for future alliances. Continue plans to advance your education. The knowledge you obtain will enhance your career prospects. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Take the time you need to gather your thoughts. Refuse to let anyone entice you into revealing your plans. Keep a low profile in order to avoid criticism and interference. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -There is a whirlwind of activity around you. You may be asked to make a quick financial decision. Don’t feel that you have to participate in a joint venture. Choose your partners wisely. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Learn to be selective in your confidants. A private comment may be repeated. Speaking out too freely may cause difficulties between you and your partner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t allow anyone or anything to impede your progress. Stay firm and in control of any situation you face. A well-meaning acquaintance could inadvertently delay your plans.

spades. West leads the diamond ace: three, queen, two. West continues with a low diamond, which South ruffs. How should declarer continue? As a secondary issue, what was West’s more successful defense? North’s sequence, a two-over-one response followed by a jump in spades, showed exactly three-card spade support and gameforcing values. South then used Roman Key Card Blackwood to learn that his partner had two key cards (two aces, or one ace and the spade king) and the spade queen. After ruffing the second diamond, declarer initially thought he would have to rely on the club finesse. But then, because North’s trumps were so strong, he realized that if spades were 3-2 (mathematically more likely than the club finesse working), he could get home with a dummy reversal. South played a heart to dummy’s 10, ruffed another diamond, returned

to dummy with a trump, ruffed the last diamond, drew trumps and claimed. Declarer took three spades on the board, five hearts, one club and three ruffs in his hand. West could have defeated the contract if he had shifted to a spade or heart at trick two, which would have killed the timing for the dummy reversal and forced South to take the club finesse. Afterward, North commented, “I never guessed that my heart 10 would be such a vital card.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters Difference Maker

Local mentoring program proves beneficial By KEVIN BIRDSELL

cal Big Jennifer Seipel to discuss the organization and her activities with her Little. Birdsell: How long have you been involved with Big Brothers/ Big Sisters? Seipel: I started when I was a freshman in college, so it’s been about six years on and off. I took a year off because I didn’t know where I was going after graduation, but I decided to stay in Maryville so I came back. I got matched with Jessie (11) six months to a year ago. Birdsell: What are the benefits for the children joining Big Brothers/Big Sister? Seipel: Having a mentor. It’s a good experience to be with someone outside her family. I don’t think she gets a lot of contact with anyone outside her family. I think it’s good for her to experience other people and other lifestyles. Birdsell: What’s your favorite activity to do with your Little? Seipel: Everything. We do a lot of arts and crafts, and I think that’s where we connect the most. It’s really cool to go outside the box with her creative mind. It’s awesome to see where she takes the projects we come up with. I usually keep it pretty basic, but she just goes all out there and puts her whole heart into it. We

Staff writer

The Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization is a national organization that pairs children with a mentor adult to help them improve their lives. “Each time BBBS pairs a child with a role model, we start something incredible: a one-toone relationship built on trust and friendship that can blossom into a future of unlimited potential,” Lynette Harbin, director of the Maryville chapter of BBBS, said. “Our matches do a variety of things together like playing sports, going for walks, seeing a movie or eating out.” While they do many activities together, that’s not the most important part of BBBS, Harbin said. “It’s the fact that they have a caring adult in their lives,” Harbin said. “Because they have someone to confide in and to look up to, they are, in turn, doing better in school and at home. And at a time in their lives when even small choices can change the course of their future, we find they are also avoiding violence and substance abuse.” Editors Note: Maryville Daily Forum staff writer Kevin Birdsell had a chance to sit down with lo-

do the Art Experience and I think she loves that. Birdsell: What positive change have you seen in your Little? Seipel: I think she’s really maturing. She was really anxious before and used to speak out of turn a lot, but I think she’s really growing. I’m kind of trying to teach her to slow down and wait her turn to speak. She’s maturing into a young adult, which is kind of weird. She acts a lot older than she really is. Birdsell: What concerns, if any, did you have coming into the organization? Seipel: My biggest concern is time. It seems like time goes by and I think “Oh my gosh, I need to go hang out with Jessie.” I try to make time, but sometimes I get busy. I really don’t want to disappoint Jess by not being able to hang out with her. Birdsell: How much time do you spend with your Little? Seipel: We spend three to six hours together. If it’s a school night, we hang out from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., but if it’s the weekend, we usually spend five or six hours together. I try to make it once a week. Birdsell: What’s your favorite part about being a Big? Seipel: Seeing her grow. It’s almost like a friendship that I’ve

never had before. I’ve never been a big sister, I’ve always been the little sister. It’s just neat to see how I could influence somebody else. Harbin emphasized the role that the Big Brothers or Big Sisters have on the kids that they get matched with.

Face time

“When Littles feel good about themselves, they can positively impact their friends and families, schools and communities,” Harbin said. “And, as our program has shown, these young people believe in themselves because a Big Brother or Big Sister believed in them.”
