Tuition depends on Nixon budget By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Heeding a call from Gov. Jay Nixon to hold the line on higher education costs, the Northwest Missouri State University Board of Regents voted unanimously Thursday to freeze the cost of tuition for the 2014-’15 academic term. The action to keep in-state and out-ofstate tuition at current levels for undergraduate students is based on Northwest receiving at least a 5 percent increase in fiscal year 2015 state appropriated core funds. If the core funding amount drops below 5 percent, the Board of Regents approved a 1.5 percent tuition increase, an amount that matches the allowable fiscal year increase under state law.
‘Our tuition increases are the lowest in the nation over the past five years.’ — Northwest President John Jasinski Nixon has proposed an 8 percent increase, which includes a 5 percent bump in core funding and a 3 percent increase to core funding devoted to STEM initiatives. “Our tuition increases are the lowest in the nation over the past five years,” Northwest President John Jasinski said. “When you factor in that our tuition costs include both textbooks and laptops, we continue to offer a great value along with a quality education.” While the Board of Regents was unanimous in its support for holding the line on
tuition, the panel was not altogether optimistic that the core state appropriation proposed by Nixon will pass muster in the General Assembly. “I keep hearing the number 2 percent from the House,” Regent Mark Hargens said. “When will we know the actual amount we’re going to receive, and will we know that amount in time to raise tuition if needed?” Jasinski reminded the board that the state budget is due on Nixon’s desk on May 9. “That gives us enough time to know if we’re freezing tuition,” Jasinski said, “or raising by 1.5 percent.” If Northwest does not receive the 5 percent core funding increase from the state and raises tuition, the cost to students will rise to $181.33 per credit hour from a current $178.65. The regents also unanimously approved an increase in residence hall room rates that averages 3 percent depending on the housing option chosen by individual students. In addition, the board approved an increase in dining rates that also comes to around 3 percent per student. In remarks to the regents and a crowd of more than 100 people gathered in the J.W. Jones Student Union boardroom, Nixon congratulated the board for doing its part to keep higher education affordable. Over the past five years, Nixon said, Missouri has led the nation in holding down tuition increases at public universities. He said keeping costs low for students remains a priority for his administration. “When soldiers came back from World War II, they received the benefits of the G.I. Bill,” Nixon said. “They took advantage of this opportunity to buy houses, cars and washers and dryers. This action drove our country’s economy and made it the strongest in the world.”
TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM
Nixon at Northwest
Gov. Jay Nixon speaks to a gathering of university administrators, faculty, students and community members Thursday during the Board of Regents meeting at Northwest Missouri State University. Nixon was in Maryville to voice support for the regents’ proposal not to raise tuition for the 2014-’15 school year.
Northwest is lauded for regents’ frugality MARYVILLE, Mo. — During his visit to Northwest Missouri State University Thursday Gov. Jay Nixon voiced wholehearted support for an attempt by the school’s Board of Regents to keep undergraduate tuition at its current level for the 2014-’15 academic year. Holding that line, however, is contingent on the Missouri General Assembly’s adopting the governor’s proposed higher education budget that would raise appropriations to state-assisted universities by as much as 8 percent.
If the Legislature cuts Nixon’s core funding increase for higher education to below 5 percent, Northwest would respond by raising its base tuition 1.5 percent, the maximum allowed under Missouri’s tuition cap, which ties such increases to the Consumer Price Index. “To continue growing Missouri’s economy, we know that good schools help create good jobs,” Nixon told a crowd of more than 100 people, including local educators and public officials, crowded in the
top-floor boardroom of the J.W. Jones Student Union. “By investing in Missouri’s universities and freezing tuition, we’re going to make sure students graduate from college with the skills they need to compete for good jobs, not a load of debt.” Nixon said he wished to “applaud” the university’s governing board for “making a commitment to keep college affordable by freezing tuition for next year.” Then he served a political ball directly into the Legislature’s court. “It’s now up to the Gen-
eral Assembly to keep its commitment to higher education by following my budget recommendations and making a real investment in our colleges and universities,” Nixon said. Northwest President John Jasinski said he supported what he called “Gov. Nixon’s ‘Good Schools, Good Jobs’ plan,” which he described as “a real investment in our university.” “Northwest has been on a sustained path toward protecting affordability, enhancing access and addressing quality and accountabil-
ity issues,” Jasinski said. “Under the governor’s proposal, and with the support of the General Assembly in protecting critical investment needs for higher education, we’ll be able to freeze undergraduate tuition next year so the quality education here at Northwest Missouri State University remains affordable.” Nixon’s budget blueprint for the upcoming fiscal year includes an additional $36.7 million in funding for Missouri’s public universities and retains a performancebased funding model imple-
mented in 2013. Northwest has qualified for 100 percent of the performance-based funds. In addition, a STEM initiative proposed by Nixon would provide an additional $22 million in core funding for higher education programs in science, technology, engineering and math. Other proposed spending by the governor includes $20 million for two-year community colleges to address addition what Nixon has described as a critical shortage of mental health workers.
McDanel awarded contract extension By TONY BROWN News editor
Greg McDanel
The Maryville City Council met earlier this month in closed session to conduct its annual performance review of City Manager Greg McDanel. Following the discussion the five-member governing board voted unanimously to renew McDanel’s “rollover” contract by adding another 12 months to the existing
four-year agreement. McDanel has served as the city’s chief executive officer for two years and moved into the city manager’s office at City Hall on the last day of February 2012. Before accepting the position here, McDanel held a similar post in Cherryvale, Kan., after spending five years as a land acquisition manager for the city of Independence. He graduated from Northwest

CAPITOL NEWS House passes rodeo bill JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Republican-led Missouri House has passed legislation guaranteeing the right to hold rodeos in the state. Supporters say the measure protects rodeos from animal-rights groups that have raised concerns over the treatment of animals. But many House Democrats opposed the bill, citing a controversial State Fair rodeo act last year that mocked President Barack Obama. Sponsoring Republican Rep. Tom Hurst, Meta, says the bill wasn’t intended to be a political matter. Democratic Rep. Genise Montecillo, of St. Louis, says she was embarrassed by last year’s rodeo act and opposes the legislation. The measure states that no law or regulation may prohibit the conducting of or participation in rodeos in this state. The House voted 113-27 to send the bill to the Senate.
GOP senators seek jobless changes JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Stymied once by a veto, Republican senators passed legislation Thursday that again tries to limit unemployment benefits for people fired for repeatedly missing work or other alleged misconduct. The legislation is a slightly revised version of a bill vetoed last year by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, who cited concerns then that it could conflict with federal law and put businesses in jeopardy of having to pay to hundreds of millions of dollars more annually in federal unemployment insurance taxes. Republican lawmakers and business groups contend that court rulings have gradually eroded Missouri’s current law allowing unemployment benefits to be denied to workers dismissed for misconduct. “We have situations where people are getting caught stealing on camera and still getting unemployment benefits,” said Sen. Will Kraus, R-Lee’s Summit, the sponsor of the bill. “We have people that are falling asleep at work repeatedly, not showing up for work — these people are getting benefits.”
Senate passes ban on tracking students JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri schools would be barred from electronically tracking students if legislation passed by the state Senate ultimately becomes law. The legislation approved Thursday would prohibit public school districts from using “radio frequency identification technology” to track to location of students or transmit information about them. The technology already is used to identify livestock and pets, track inventory for businesses and allow cars to pass by electronic toll readers without stopping to pay. Republican Sen. Ed Emery, of Lamar, is sponsoring the bill banning the devices to track students. Emery said he’s not aware of any Missouri schools that have sought to use the technology. The Senate voted 27-5 for the bill, which now goes to the House.
Speed-camera bill passed JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House narrowly voted to pass legislation Thursday that could let cities continue operating red-light and speed cameras, but only if they meet certain guidelines and get prior approval from state officials. The Republican-led House sent the measure to the Senate with an 84-63 vote, a tally that is just three votes more than the minimum number required to pass a bill out of the chamber. The measure would prevent drivers statewide from accruing penalty points for violations caught by a red-light or speed camera and would allow municipalities to fine drivers up to $135 for each ticket issued using a camera. Sponsoring Rep. Dave Hinson, R-St. Clair, said he opposes traffic cameras, but sponsored the bill because legislation to prohibit them has not garnered enough support in previous years. Supporters argued that his measure would streamline photo traffic enforcement throughout the state. Opponents contend the bill would pave the way for more red-light cameras and that the Legislature should focus on prohibiting them altogether.
NATIONAL NEWS Mom faces murder charge
BELLE CHASSE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana woman has been arrested on a charge of first-degree murder after police say she injected alcohol-based hand sanitizer into the feeding tube of her 17-month-old son, who had Down syndrome. Twenty-year-old Erika Wigstrom was being held without bond after her arrest Tuesday. Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s Commander Eric Becnel says she told police she wanted to end Lucas Ruiz’s suffering. New reports state that Wigstrom broke down in tears during an afternoon court appearance Wednesday. Lucas died Jan. 24. Becnel said the child also had been poisoned with alcohol in October 2012 while hospitalized for treatment of a heart defect. Becnel says the child’s father, Cesar Ruiz, confessed in that instance, but that Wigstrom has now confessed to poisoning the child both times.

Provost accepts Rockhurst post MARYVILLE, Mo. — Northwest Missouri State University announced Thursday that Provost Doug Dunham will resign his position as the school’s top academic officer effective June 30 to become vice president for academic affairs at Rockhurst University in Kansas City. Dunham came to Northwest in 1995 as an assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences. He was named provost in 2010 having held the job for several months on an interim basis. Earlier administrative posts during his Northwest career included those of associate provost; interim director of the Office of Assessment, Information and Analysis; and behavioral sciences department chair. He holds a doctoral degree in experimental psychology from Washington University in St. Louis and received advanced training in his field at the Washington University School of Medicine’s Department of
Doug Dunham Psychiatry. Dunham characterized his resignation as a personal and professional decision, and said it would be difficult to leave the institution that has been his professional home for nearly 20 years. “I have grown as a person, as a faculty member, as a member of a team and as a leader,” Dunham said. “This growth has occurred not only because of the opportunities and challenges I have
had, but more importantly because of the people.” Dunham also lauded the work of his immediate subordinates, Northwest’s deans, the administrators who lead the university’s three colleges and their respective programs in education, business, and the arts and sciences. He called the Dean’s Council a “caring, compassionate team of people who are constantly focused on the success of our students and (who) care about one another. They are all leaders and, individually and collectively, will continue to advance the university.” Northwest President John Jasinski said that, as provost, Dunham was able to address such issues as access to higher education and affordability while maintaining academic quality. He also credited Dunham with playing an important role in Northwest’s achieving 100 percent of the funding available through Missouri’s performance-based
appropriations model in each of the last two years. Other successes, Jasinski said, have included institutional accreditation and a job placement/graduate school acceptance rate for recent alumni approaching 100 percent. “Doug has been a stalwart Bearcat,” Jasinski said. “… Ultimately, he has been a champion for our students, as we help provide a more educated citizenry, and for our faculty. We wish him the best, and he will remain a Bearcat in his support of our exciting efforts moving forward.” Rockhurst University is one of 28 Catholic, Jesuit universities in the United States and is the only institution in the Kansas City area to have earned the community engagement classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. According to a release, the institution selected Dunham following a nationwide search.
West Nodaway baseball team to benefit from Ford test drives MARYVILLE, Mo. — TriState Ford Lincoln is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR School program to the Burlington Junction community in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for West Nodaway High School. For every person who test drives a new Ford vehicle at West Nodaway High School on Monday, March 17, TriState will donate $20 to the West Nodaway baseball team. The funds will go toward equipment, uniforms and a batting cage for the first-ever West Nodaway Rockets baseball team. “We know funding for school programs is hard to
come by and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Todd Hill, president of Tri-State Ford Lincoln. “We’re excited to raise money for the West Nodaway Rockets.” The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at West Nodaway High School in Burlington Junction. Tri-State will have free giveaways and will have a Skills & Driving Fun Night starting at 4:30 p.m. Dealership staff on site will be able to assist with all Ford vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test drives.
Project Prom to raise funds The Maryville Project Prom/Project Graduation Committee is continuing to raise funds for planned drug- and alcohol-free social events following the May 3 Maryville High School Prom and May 11 MHS graduation ceremony. Next on the calendar for the committee is an allyou-can-eat “flapjack fundraiser” set for 8-10 a.m. Saturday, April 5, at the Maryville Applebee’s restaurant on the South Main. Cost is $7, and tickets are
available by calling Carrie Sparks at (816) 390-2789 or Belinda Von Behren at (816) 351-7554. Earlier fundraisers for the organization have included a pie-in-the-face contest, bake sale, and gift card raffle. Those wishing to support the committee’s efforts, but who are unable to attend the Applebee’s breakfast, can mail a check for any amount in care Janet Cacek, 26724 MacArthur Drive, Maryville, MO, 64468.
Participants must be 18 years old or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household. Each test-drive will last between seven and 10 minutes. This will be the sixth year that Tri-State has participated in the program. The
dealership has helped raise $5,600 for Tarkio schools, $12,800 for Bedford (Iowa) Schools and $28,800 for Maryville R-II schools. Since the start of Ford’s Drive 4 UR School program in 2007, more than $16 million in donations have been generated for high schools nationwide.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Reader disagrees with columnist
Maryville Daily Forum: I am very disappointed in yesterdays opinion: SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS IS LEADING TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. I should be angry, I should be angry such a small narrow minded article was printed in the paper. Am I ready for a pot shop to come in on the square, you bet I am. Am I going to run up and get some so I can go home and get high. No, I am not. Just people have tried beer and didn’t like it, I have tried pot and didn’t like it. Just because I tried pot, I didn’t try other drugs. There are enough bars up on the square, but that doesn’t mean everyone patronizes them. Mr. Anderson’s stat of 38,325 deaths per year from drugs, forgets to mention one thing. NONE of those deaths are caused by the overdose of marijuana. However, there are 15,990 deaths a year from alcoholic liver disease and 25,692 deaths a year from alcohol-induced deaths, excluding accidents and homicides. Yet, I don’t see Mr.Anderson wanting his kids and grand kids protected from the bars. One only needs to read the police blotter to realize most of the crimes in this area are not committed by crazed stoners, but by people on alcohol. In closing I would like to say Reefer Maddness is a propaganda movie, not based on fact. Just as Mr. Anderson statics are based on propaganda to make one think marijuana and heroin are the same thing. It is time we get our head out of the sand here in little ol’ Maryville. Misty Richmond

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
Boeing was a prime example of how Missouri got ‘worked’
The Missouri House has passed and sent to the Senate several bills that, in the words of Mike Thompson, our representative, “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.” Where does Missouri get the monies to continue growth in education, health care, and roads and bridges that desperately need more than the token increases now on the boards for these areas? They all need huge investments not only for our economy but for the quality of life and futures for our students and present population. Note that the Legislature will not increase the Medicaid program that comes almost free and that hundreds of businesses already in Missouri clamor for? Not only does it increase the economy and jobs, but more importantly, it gives desperately needed health care to the very poor, a great deal of who are children or disabled. That, evidently, would be undue government welfare. No one seems to bother, however, with the mind-bending amount of government free monies, welfare I guess it could be called, to America’s richest corporations. A recent study by a taxpayer watchdog group called Good Jobs First outlines the data that shows that state and local governments (not even counting the federal government) gave out $110 billion in corporate welfare between 2011 and 2013. Evidently, the businesses that state and local governments, including
Missouri’s, want to help are the richest of the rich. Boeing, for example, was the largest recipient. You remember them, the Missouri legislature and governor nearly fell all over themselves trying to give incentives to Boeing.
Richard Fulton Boeing, however, was playing them like a harp. Clearly, they only wanted to break the union in Washington by holding out an invitation to other states. But they got what they wanted. Even before this round, they had gotten $13 billion, the report finds, from Washington and South Carolina, plus 130 other smaller local communities. The richest folks in the county, the Koch brothers, received $88 million in corporate welfare during the pe-
riod. They surely needed it. These are the same folks that spend millions to influence federal, state and local governments to cut budgets for welfare programs for the 46 million plus people living in poverty in America. Of all the incentives (the same type that Thompson outlined), threequarters of them went to 965 larger corporations to the tune of $110 billion dollars. Indeed, the Fortune 500 companies, the largest and richest in the nation, received 16,000 subsidies worth $63 billion dollars. All of this cannot be universally condemned, but corporations, not small businesses or start-up entrepreneurs, are receiving the bulk of all this largess. They got less than 5 percent of the total. Which of these needs it most? Maryville argued that offering incentives to companies like Wal-Mart to bring their large store was worth it in the long run. It’s not for certain what kinds of incentives will be used to fill the old battery factory. The future occupant certainly will be a large company with large resources of their own. Corporations play off states and localities for maximum incentives. We have seen what that competition brings in the incentive border wars between Kansas and Missouri. You lose as much as you gain. How many times have I heard politicians, Sam Graves uses it as a continuing theme, that small businesses create most jobs in America. If so, why do they get very little in the way of the hundreds of billions of incentives from our governments?
LOCAL COLUMNIST
Thanks, ‘Lego Movie,’ you gave us some enjoyable family time The movie theater parking lot was more full than I’d ever seen it, and this was just for a Sunday matinee. The lot at our local theater was never this crowded, even on Middle Age Date Night for a movie starring Paul Rudd, or Jennifer Aniston, or Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston (God, help me). I parked and my family piled out of the minivan to trek to the theater through frigid temperatures, all the way from the back of the lot. That’s funny because it’s a complete lie. As any father has probably guessed, I let my family out at the front door and went to park 14 miles away, trudging through the snow, ice, and wolves by myself as my family stood in the warm comfort of the theater lobby asking each other what was taking Daddy so long. It was cold. The kind of cold that froze breath in your mustache (at least if you were a man, or a yeti, or had a glandular problem, or something). There’s a kind of family hierarchical structure that assumes all fathers were sherpas in a past life and everyone else was a Disney princess. Possibly not true. But we got there. The important part wasn’t that we arrived at the theater in time for the movie, but we got there in time to buy slushies and popcorn, and I had a moment to go to the bathroom
before the show started. I once missed Darth Vader’s cutting off Luke’s hand due to an extra-large Coke, and vowed
Jason Offutt missing a minute of a movie would never happen to me again. It hasn’t. Even for “The Lego Movie,” which we were there to see. The concept of “The Lego Movie” both impressed and concerned me. Impressed, because this was commercialism at its finest. After purchasing toy rights for Star Wars, Lord of
the Rings, Harry Potter, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Simpsons, DC Comics, Indiana Jones, and quite possibly me, why not take these franchises, smoosh them together and make a quadraziillion dollars? And not just from the movie, from all the Legos toys they’d sell later. It was perfect. Kids love Legos, parents of today’s kids grew up loving Legos, the Billund, Denmark, company The Lego Group, is still selling Legos. Why not? I was concerned because this was simply a 100-minute advertisement for something my kids would want me to buy for them. If you don’t have children, you probably have no idea that the entire Lego Star Wars set alone costs more than my house. Turns out, the movie was funny, thoughtful, and not only made the Boy and the Girl laugh and enjoy each other’s company on the drive home (usually 10 minutes in the car is like a UFC match), it gave Mom and Dad a present. Ever since we watched the movie, the Boy’s played with all the Legos he’s ignored since roughly the moment he opened them as a present. Thank you, “The Lego Movie.” Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

FROM THE PULPIT
Having to say ‘good-bye’ is not the end
One of the hardest things we must do in life is to say good-bye. It happens when families separate, whether after holidays, or when a son or daughter goes off to college, or is deployed by the military. We have trouble sometimes even saying good-bye when a friend or a loved one calls on the phone and we are reluctant to finish the conversation. Some of that difficulty has been eased by the social media. We don’t have to say good-bye, we just stop typing. The most difficult time for saying good-bye seems to be at the death of one we have loved: spouse, sibling, friend or even a special pet. Sometimes we find ourselves filled with conflicting emotions — grief, sadness, anger, loss, relief. We can feel one or the other or all these emotions at once. We can deny them and stuff them away, thinking that they are too painful to bear, but no matter how hard we might try, they never really disappear. They haunt us, and can even shock us at the most unexpected times. We don’t like to think about it, but death is part of life. And we don’t like to think that anything good can come out of the separation that death causes, but it can provide an opportunity for growth. For the person of faith, death is never really the end, but this is the obstacle that must be overcome. There must be faith. Sometimes we think we can’t live without the other when in fact, we do survive. There is a physical absence, but faith allows for another presence, a spiritual presence that is preserved by memories and comforted by the hope that we will be reunited later in the promised mansion prepared for us. The experience of death can permit faith to deepen, hope to endure, and love to never fade and even grow stronger. The conviction that God’s weakness is greater than any human strength permits us to trust in His providential care. The grain of wheat must die in order to produce a bountiful harvest, and God’s fidelity to His word that nothing that belongs to Him will be lost reassures us that even though parted, the connection with the loved one remains. Often times too, the God of compassion manifests Himself in the care and concern of others, especially those others who have also endured a similar loss in their lives. Since death is part of life, it touches each one of us in some way, and the strength we find in sharing our story reaffirms our membership in the human family and the bond we share with others whose faith may have been tested even as ours has been. Words fail in expressing the true feeling we share with the one who is grieving, but the comfort found by the silent presence of another who understands means more than any word. To stand by someone in their pain and not avoid them is to imitate God, who stands by us whenever we are in pain and will not — cannot — leave us. Eventually, there may come a time when words will come and we find ourselves blest to be trusted enough to hear the other’s heart. The words of praise or pain are the words of the prayer we offer to the God who understands. We need not be afraid to express them. We must not be afraid to let them pass through the tears of sadness or the laughter of precious memories. Even in death there is a call to life — to live in the presence of a God who cares and who understands the human condition and the terrible beauty that loving another can bring. Love is stronger than death. It must be. Rev. Martin De Meulenaere Pastor Mrs. Michele Starkey Pastoral Associate St. Gregory Catholic Church

ASTRO-GRAPH FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 2014 by Bernice Bede Osol It’s time to put your ideas and triedand-true methods to work. Rely on experience and mix lessons from the past and present in order to come up with solid plans for the future. Being prepared and determined will help you rise to the top. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You’ll risk your reputation if you rely on secondhand information. Someone may pass off fabrication as fact just to put you in an awkward position. Get all the details before you speak out. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Community get-togethers and special-interest gatherings are great places to meet new friends. Informal activities and events will enable you to share your enthusiasms with like-minded people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let others do the talking for you. A colleague may try to present your ideas as his own. Ensure that you are given the credit you deserve for your accomplishments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t let stress get you down. Make your home your refuge. Surround yourself with the people and comforts that make you happy. Take time to relax and reflect. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Strategize how you can make personal improvements. Proper nutrition, regular exercise and plenty of enjoyable activities are all vital to your success and physical and mental health. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll be

extremely convincing today. Make sure you don’t harbor any ulterior motives and that you have thought matters through. You will accomplish a lot if you are a team player. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be a little short- tempered. Just because someone has a different viewpoint, it doesn’t mean you can’t get along. To avoid embarrassment, cool down before you say something you’ll regret. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Take a moment to do something you enjoy. Perhaps there is a hobby or new friendship you’d like to pursue. Indulge in something that is motivating and inspirational; you deserve it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be considerate of others today. Avoid criticizing others and focus on the positive message you want to convey. If you are pushy, you will put a wedge between yourself and someone you care about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Travel delays and other unforeseen problems will plague you. Don’t get frustrated over circumstances you cannot control. Keep a positive attitude and do your best to overcome setbacks. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A partnership will face pressure if you encounter a stalemate. If you’re willing to compromise, you will find it easier to reach an agreement. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You won’t feel too sociable today. Take a closer look at your current situation and establish the steps you need to take to advance. Backtracking may be necessary.
table is trying to see a way through the best that the opponents can do to try to stop him from making his contract. However, occasionally he can call on his opponents for help. In this deal, South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond three. East wins with his king, cashes the diamond ace and shifts to a low club. How should declarer continue? After South opened one no-trump, North used a four-level Texas transfer to get his partner to play in four hearts. This allowed the opening lead to come around to the strong hand, rather than through it. Probably South’s first thought is to take the finesses in each black suit. But there is a safer plan. What did West lead from in diamonds? It was surely from queen-third or queenfourth. If so, when declarer ruffs a diamond on the board, he either establishes his diamond jack as a trick or sets up
an endplay. South, after winning the third trick with his club ace, should ruff a diamond high on the board and draw trumps ending in his hand. Then he leads the diamond jack. Yes, West covers with his queen, but declarer calmly discards a black-suit card from the dummy. If West returns a spade, South takes two spades, six hearts and two clubs. If West leads back a club, declarer wins one spade, six hearts and three clubs. South’s opponent comes to his rescue.

Size not enough for Bulldogs
Stanberry will play for 3rd place today By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Stanberry used its size throughout the season to amass a 24-game winning streak coming into Thursday’s Class 1 state semifinal contest against Scott County Central, but that wasn’t enough to bring down the Braves. From the beginning, Scott County used its speed and quickness to wreak havoc on the Stanberry offense. The Braves came out quickly and pulled ahead of the Bulldogs 15-8. But a quick pass from senior Nathan Luke to fellow senior Ryan Jensen led to a dunk, which was met with a roar from the Stanberry faithful that flocked to Mizzou Arena. “He’s had several (dunks) this year and it always gets our crowd pumped up,” Stanberry coach Nick Groomer said. “But a three-pointer quieted them down pretty quickly, though.” The dunk seemed like it was going to swing the momentum Stanberry’s way, but a quick response came from Braves’ sophomore Jeffrey Porter in the form of a threepoint bucket. That quieted the crowd and swung the momentum back to Scott County Central. The first quarter ended in favor of the Braves, who led 21-14. The momentum again seemed like it was going to swing in the Bulldogs favor when they got back-to-back blocks from Jensen and sophomore Daniel Hailey. But they were unable to convert when they returned to the offensive end. The second period was more of the same for the Bulldogs. Pressure from the Braves’ full-court press and half-court defense held the Bulldogs to only seven second-quarter points. Scott County Central took a 40-21 lead into halftime. “It took a little while to adjust to (the pressure),” Groomer said. “And I’ll be honest, we haven’t seen anyone play like that. I like to think that we are fast and strong too, but if you haven’t seen it, it takes a little while to adjust.” The Braves scored 10 points in the first half off of the 10 Bulldog turnovers. Aside from forcing turnovers, the Braves shot well in the first half against the Bulldogs’ defense, hitting 53.6 percent of their field goal attempts, including three treys. “We had to hope they missed eventually,” Groomer said. “We have to hope, eventually, there will be a lid on there. But, that’s how it breaks sometimes, unfortunately. It’s a beautiful game and sometimes things are good and sometimes they’re bad.”
Groomer made some changes in the game plan over the break and Stanberry came out in the second half and combatted the Braves’ pressure with physicality and pressure of its own. “We just talked about coming out and not giving up,” Groomer said. “We could just stay in the locker room and let them win or we could come out and fight and chip away. And they did exactly as I asked. I’m proud of them and I couldn’t ask for anything different out of them.” The Bulldogs turned that defense into offense and outscored the Braves 20-11 in the third period. Despite the strong period, Scott County Central still held a doubledigit lead, 51-41. “We talked and talked about going slow and changing the style of the game,” Groomer said. “I felt like we did it in the second half. We talked about that they were going to be all over you and jumping every pass and anticipating every pass. We tried and tried, but even if we tried five-on-eight, we still couldn’t replicate what they can do.” Stanberry turned up the pressure again in the fourth quarter to bring the game back to a single-digit margin, but Scott County Central answered every run the Bulldogs tried to go on and kept the lead out of reach. “There’s just one little thing you could have done,” Jensen said. “Just one rebound you just about had and they ended up getting a steal. If you could have pulled away with that one and made the outlet pass, there’s two points where you could have gotten it back… Just little things like that. Boxing out, grabbing rebounds and things like that. A few of those, and it was a whole different ball game.” Three triples from Hailey brought the lead down late in the game, but it wasn’t enough. The Bulldogs fell to the Braves 69-63, despite the strong second half in which they outscored the Braves 42-29. “It was a hard fought game,” Groomer said. “But, unfortunately, we came up a little bit short at the end.” Hailey scored a game-high 30 points while Jensen added 16 points, with eight of those points coming on four dunks. Stanberry will move on to the third place game today, facing Macks Creek (24-6) at Mizzou Arena. The game will tip-off at 12:45 p.m. Macks Creek fell 50-41 in the other semifinal contest to Meadville. “We really have got to keep our focus,” Jensen said. “We just have to brush this one off. It was a tough loss, but there is another one and they’re still giving out a trophy for it. I think that if we show up for that, we will be all right.”

2014 SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW
Maryville poised for success under first-year coach By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Editor’s note: The Daily Forum will be previewing every high school team in Nodaway County as the spring sports season approaches. This is another installment of a series that will be published over the course of the next several weeks. The Maryville girls soccer still is still poised for success, even with a new coach at the helm. The Lady Spoofhounds went 17-4 last year, including a 6-1 record in Midland Empire Conference play, good enough for second under Bayo Oludaja. The Hounds won the district crown and beat Pembroke Hill 3-2 in sectionals before falling in the quarterfinals to O’Hara. Dale Reuter takes the reins this season and has high expectations for his inaugural campaign. “This team is very hungry, they want to win,” Reuter said. “They have set their goals very high and are determined to reach them. We have to take it one game at a time and
stay focused. If we do that, we will be pretty tough to beat.” The Hounds lost their all-time leading scorer in Alyssa Stiens, who now plays at Northwest, but still return a lot of talent including junior forward Ashton Reuter, senior midfielder Cassie Holtman, sophomore forward Mollie Holtman and senior defender Anny Van de Ven. Ashton Reuter scored 47 goals and recorded 14 assists last season, while Cassie Holtman added 15 goals and 19 assists and Mollie Holtman scored 25 goals to go along with 16 assists. Ashton Reuter, Cassie Holtman and Van de Ven are the team captains this year, and players Coach Reuter described as “great leaders.” In addition to the captains and Mollie Holtman, Coach Reuter expects sophomore goalkeeper Kylie Reuter, sophomore defender Jacquelyn Ware, sophomore defender Leah Jasinksi, junior defender Hannah Hall, junior defender Emma Ackman, junior midfielder Maddie Jones, junior midfielder Hannah Brod, junior midfielder Angie Mey-
ers, sophomore midfielder Louisa Msechu and sophomore midfielder Abby Van de Ven to make an impact as well as a group of freshmen that are vying for some playing time. “This is a great group of
ladies,” Coach Reuter said. “I am blessed to have the opportunity to coach them. They work hard, have great attitudes and are great teammates. I am very excited about the upcoming season.”

Reuter, who is assisted by Jessica Driskell and Anna Calgaard, said Smithville, LeBlond, Chillicothe and Lafayette could give the Hounds a run this season. “Smithville will be
tough,” he said. “We do play them at home this year, which should be a plus. LeBlond usually has a pretty good team, as well. I expect Chillicothe and Lafayette to give us a good game.”

Bearcats’ Cooper named all-region BEMIDJI, Minn. – The 2013-14 Daktronics Central Region Men’s Basketball Teams were announced Thursday. Minnesota State University, Mankato junior guard Zach Monaghan heads the group, as he was named Daktronics Central Region Player of the Year. The Central Region is comprised of three conferences: Great American Conference (GAC), Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC). Eleven student-athletes were honored on the two allregion teams. The top five vote getters were named first team and now advance to the national ballot for Daktronics All-America. The All-America announcement is set for March 24. Five members of the team represent the MIAA, while five came from the NSIC and one player was selected from the GAC. Minnesota State was the only team with two student-athletes, as junior forward Assem Marei joined Monaghan on the first team. Of the 11 recipients, there were six seniors, three juniors and two sophomores. Northwest senior point guard DeShaun Cooper, the MIAA Player of the Year was also named first team all-region. Cooper averages 16.7 points, 4.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game. The St. Louis native is one of just five players to surpass 1,600 career points for the Bearcats and currently ranks second in program history in assists with 476. Joining Monaghan, Marei and Cooper on the first team are Central Oklahoma senior forward Josh Gibbs and Fort Hays State sophomore guard Craig Nicholson. The second team is made up of Bemidji State’s Brock Lutes, Northeastern State’s Bryton Hobbs, Southwestern Oklahoma State’s Rod Camphor, Missouri Southern’s Marquis Addison, Upper Iowa’s Joey Woods and Casey Schilling from Augustana. Northwest will play Winona State at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Mankato, Minn.

Chiefs land linebacker, o-lineman By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs made their first moves after a quiet start to free agency, signing linebacker Joe Mays and offensive lineman Joe Linkenbach on Wednesday while confirming the signing of defensive back and special teams standout Husain Abdullah. The cash-strapped Chiefs only had about $9.6 million in salary cap space after spending lavishly last offseason. The investment paid off in a turnaround that landed Kansas City in the playoffs, but it also means the franchise has little spending ability this year. “We are excited to be able to bring back Husain Abdullah as well as add Joe Mays and Jeff Linkenbach to our
roster,” Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey said in a statement. “All three of these men will add depth and talent to our team as we continue to build for the 2014 season.” All three of them could be forced to provide much more than depth. Linkenbach joined the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2010, and started all 16 games the following season, though his playing time has decreased each of the last two years. Still, his ability to play tackle and guard on both sides of the line made him appealing to the Chiefs, who lost left tackle Branden Albert and guards Jon Asamoah and Geoff Schwartz to free agency on Tuesday. In fact, Schwartz was a similar value signing last offseason and moved from a backup providing depth to a dependable starter by the middle of the sea-
son. Mays could take the place of Akeem Jordan, who also became a free agent. Mays was drafted by current Chiefs coach Andy Reid when he was in Philadelphia in 2008, then spent three years with the Broncos before starting 13 games for the Texans last year. Abdullah, who had agreed to a twoyear deal Tuesday, started two games last season in the defensive backfield but proved his value on special teams. He played on just about every unit and consistently graded out as one of the Chiefs’ best special teams players. The Chiefs still have plenty of holes to fill, particularly at free safety, defensive end and wide receiver. But their sticky financial situation means that they’ll continue looking for values in free agency while also turning their attention to the upcoming draft.
Hawks’ Embiid takes part in shoot-around By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Injured Kansas center Joel Embiid remains unlikely to return before the second weekend of the NCAA tournament, even though he participated in a light shoot-around Wednesday. Jayhawks coach Bill Self said the 7-footer’s status hasn’t changed since Monday, when Embiid received a second opinion on his back from a specialist in Los Angeles. The doctor confirmed the initial diagnosis of a stress fracture and prescribed rest and rehabilitation. “He’s not playing this week, at all,” Self said. “The thing about it is we’ll play him whenever the doctors and Joel’s body say he’s ready to play, and I’m still confident — and others are — that it’s going to happen. “But to be real candid, we may have to advance for it to happen.” Self was referring to the NCAA tournament, of course. He also refuted reports that he was “100 percent” confident his freshman shot-blocker would play again this postseason. No. 10 Kansas has the top seed and a first-round bye in the Big 12 Tour-
nament. The defending Tournament champion defeated Oklahoma State 77-70 in overtime in Thursday’s quarterfinals and will face Iowa State in Friday night’s semifinals. Embiid’s injury has become a major story in Kansas City this week. The injury has even gotten the attention of the NCAA Tournament selection committee, which has asked Kansas to keep it abreast of developments in the injury this week. It’s not the first time the committee has weighed injuries to star players when it comes time to seed the Tournament. Perhaps the most famous case occurred in 2000, when Cincinnati was dropped to the second line after Kenyon Martin broke his leg in the Conference USA tournament. The Bearcats were upset in the second round by Tulsa, which was coached by Self. “Obviously they were the best team in the country that year and they dropped a seed line. You never know,” Self said, “and I’m not sure this year (seeds) matter a whole lot.” With Embiid out for the foreseeable future, the Jayhawks will be leaning on Tarik Black, a senior transfer from Memphis who has played well when
he’s not been mired in foul trouble. Black was the starter early in the season before Embiid took over the role. “It wasn’t a one-man show when he was with us. He was a big part of our team, but we’re still Kansas. We’re still the name on the front of the jersey,” Black said. “I don’t feel much pressure. We have a great team and it goes back to being Kansas basketball.” Junior guard Naadir Tharpe said the biggest hurdle to overcome is on defense, where Embiid was able to patrol the paint. The Jayhawks have been susceptible to dribble penetration all year. “We have to make sure everyone’s much more locked in,” Tharpe said, “because Joel protects the rim so well. Now we have to make sure everyone’s on the same plane.” It’s not as if playing without Embiid is new. He missed a game against TCU earlier this season because of his back, and was shut down for the Jayhawks’ final two regular-season games, a blowout win over Texas Tech and a loss to West Virginia. “We can still play well this weekend,” Self said, “without question.”

Maryville Garden Club The Almanac Theory: Growing great potatoes What is a country garden without a few potatoes? Some gardeners live and plant by the traditional, moon sign gardening methods found in the The Old Farmer’s Almanac. This popular garden resource has a rich history, with the first publication occurring in 1792 during George Washington’s presidency. It still has a loyal following today as it is the oldest, continuously, published periodical in North America. The almanac advises gardeners to plant aboveground plants and annuals in “the light of the moon” or when the moon is increasing. This is the period of time between the new moon and the full moon. In contrast, below-ground plants and perennials should be planted when the moon is decreasing, known as “the dark of the moon.” This phase occurs one day after the full moon until the next new moon occurs. Experts say that when they plant in accordance with the moon signs, they yield

better results. Potatoes, when planted in “the dark of the moon” yield more potatoes per vine. Most gardeners have to plant when they can as the weather almost always dictates our schedules. Mr. John Schroeder, Maryville, is an expert in the art of growing potatoes. He makes his rows and mounds in the gall, readying himself for the perfect planting time. Some popular potato varieties include Yukon Gold, Kennebec, and Red Pontiac. Oh, we can’t forget about the Sweet Potato! My favorite specimen is Beaugard, as I have tried several varieties. Everyone has their favorites, so keep the joy of homegrown potatoes going by starting your own plants from last season’s potatoes or by purchasing plants from your local greenhouse. Set your starts in the garden after the last frost date. Good luck! Go plant the bean when the moon is light and you will find that this is right,
Plant the potatoes when the moon is dark and to this line you always hark, But if you vary from this rule, You will find you are a fool, If you always follow this rule to the end, You will always have money to spend. -From Farmer’s Chant The Maryville Garden Club is in the Northwest District of the Federated Garden clubs of Missouri, Inc. and in the Central Region of the National Club Inc. The garden club is open to all and welcomes anyone with an interest in gardening. For more information, contact Melanie Fisher at 660-562-3331.

Northwest upgrades student TV station
Northwest Missouri State University media students use equipment in the refurbished studios of KNWT television, a student-operated station located in Wells Hall. The studio recently received new monitors and other equipment that mirror the kinds of digital gear used by commercial television operations.
“Everyone was so excited for the upgrade,” said Chance Parsons, a senior broadcast production major from Independence. “This means students will have training on some of the newest industrystandard equipment as well as be able to master it on a professional level before graduating.” In addition to the TV upgrades, the department is also working to enhance its audio program. “It’s going to be extremely positive,” said Matt Walker, chair of communication and mass media department. “Our students will have a better opportunity to make a quicker transition from college to the workplace because they have more up-to-date tools to use.” On a related front, eight Northwest students will attend the 2014 National Association of Broadcasters Show this April in Las Vegas. “The students will attend the show and take on professional training at the Post Production World Conference within the event,” Murphy said. “They show so much initiative in and out of the classroom and are great representatives of the university.”
DAVID A. LIEB
Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Stymied once by a veto, Republican senators passed legislation Thursday that again tries to limit unemployment benefits for people fired for repeatedly missing work or other alleged misconduct. The legislation is a slightly revised version of a bill vetoed last year by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, who cited concerns then that it could conflict with federal law and put businesses in jeopardy of having to pay to hundreds of millions of dollars more annually in federal unemployment insurance taxes. Republican lawmakers and business groups contend that court rulings have gradually eroded Missouri’s current law allowing unemployment benefits to be denied to workers dismissed for misconduct. “We have situations where people are getting caught stealing on camera and still getting unemployment benefits,” said Sen. Will Kraus, R-Lee’s Sum-
mit, the sponsor of the bill. “We have people that are falling asleep at work repeatedly, not showing up for work — these people are getting benefits.” But Nixon has said the Republicans’ proposed solution could carry unfair results for workers. In last year’s veto message, he pointed to several hypothetical examples where the new definition of misconduct could be cited to deny benefits to parents who miss work to rush a child to an emergency room or to workers accused of dressing inappropriately or badmouthing their bosses during non-work hours. The legislation “just puts too much responsibility on the employee and relieves the employer of a lot of responsibilities,” Sen. Gina Walsh, D-St. Louis, said during debate this week. The Republican-led Senate voted 22-9 along party lines Thursday to send the legislation to the House. Current Missouri law defines employee misconduct as “wanton or willful disregard of the employer’s interest,” a deliberate viola-

tion of rules or a disregard of behavior standards. Republicans want to expand the misconduct definition to specifically include absences, tardiness and, among other things, actions that occur outside the workplace or normal working hours. Nixon said last year’s bill went too far. He said that what employees do on their own time shouldn’t be used as a basis for denying them unemployment benefits, except in narrow circumstances covered under existing law. The vetoed bill sought to
redefine misconduct to include actions “reasonably related to the job environment,” but this one instead says misconduct includes an act “that is connected with work” — a phrase also included in federal law. The significance of that proposed wording change is unclear. A Nixon spokesman declined to comment Thursday about whether the governor still has concerns about the legislation. Ray McCarty, president of Associated Industries of Missouri, said supporters are hoping to hear from

federal officials about how they would interpret the new wording. “This bill is an attempt to go as far as we can go, without stepping over the line and tromping on the federal law, to try to bring some sanity to that system,” McCarty said.

DARREN WHITLEY/NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNVERSITY
MARYVILLE, Mo. — Northwest Missouri State University’s student-operated television station, KNWT, recently completed a series of upgrades that school officials say will better prepare broadcasting and mass media majors for careers in their chosen fields. Located in Wells Hall, the KNWT studios have been outfitted with a new switcher, television monitors, cameras and an audio board. Installation of the new gear brought to a close an overall equipment initiative conducted in three phases. “We have a broad mission in the communication and mass media department,” said Will Murphy, the Northwest staffer who serves the station as its television and video engineer. “We want to provide students with a multi-purpose learning experience that they can use in their futures. This new equipment is built around the idea that students who use it, and who are going into professional studios, will be overly prepared.” Northwest broadcasting students are enthusiastic about the additions, which bring the studio fully into the digital age.
