City hires new rec coordinator at Mozingo Lake By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

On the road to recovery
Former North Nodaway R-VI bus driver Dick Wallace performs cardiac rehabilitation exercises at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville while cardiac rehab nurse Janet Murphy monitors his blood pressure. Wallace’s battle against heart disease was a prime reason why the North Nodaway Student Council decided to donate proceeds from this Saturday’s 5k Color Run to the hospital’s rehab unit.
Students put hearts into 5K Color Run By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
The North Nodaway R-VI High School Student Council is sponsoring a 5k “Pump the Color” run this Saturday in Hopkins. Registration begins at 8 a.m., and runners leave the starting line an hour later. Proceeds from the run will benefit the cardio rehab unit at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville. According to North Nodaway teacher and Student Council sponsor Lora Larabee, the choice of heart health as the group’s charity was an easy one. “All of the kids know two or three people who have had heart attacks, bypass surgery or strokes,” Larabee said. “In addition, we had a well-liked bus driver here at school, Dick Wallace, who had to retire last fall after suffering a heart attack, so the student council members felt strongly that heart health was the right charity for us to support.” The next step, choosing the St.
Francis rehab unit as the recipient of the event’s proceeds, was an easy decision as well. “We decided to donate to St. Francis because that was one way we could ensure the funds we raised would benefit people in our community,” Larabee said. “Most of the people here who suffer a heart problem do their physical therapy at St. Francis.” The 5k run is not competitive. Participants can run, walk, crawl or even roll over the course. The route is an “out-and-back” course that follows route JJ west out of Hopkins to a designated turnaround point, where participants will reverse directions and head back toward the finish line. “We will have three color stations where volunteers will be throwing the color on runners as they go by,” Larabee said. “Since it’s an out-and-back course, participants actually get six chances to get blasted with color.” Holi powder, a mixture of cornstarch and colorant, will be used to “color” the runners as they pass
each color station. “It’s non-toxic and biodegradable,” Larabee said. “It will even wash out relatively easily. Anyone who wants to keep the dye in their shirts will need to spray them with vinegar and iron them before attempting to wash them. “I’ve seen people roll on the ground at other color runs to get more color on their clothes.” Larabee said 99 participants have already pre-registered, and 21 volunteers will assist with the event. There will be a registration station opening at 8 a.m. Saturday at the start / finish line at the Highway 148/Route JJ junction for those wishing to register the day of the event. General registration costs $30. Educators (administrators, teachers and staff) can register for $25, and students under 18 can register for $20. Anyone having questions or wishing to register for the event can call Larabee at (660) 7783315 or go to http://loral2006. wix.com/pumpthecolor.
Mozingo Lake Recreation Park welcomed a new member to its staff last week. Brandon Cartwright, who comes to Maryville from Omaha, Neb., has accepted the position of recreation coordinator. Though the job description has changed somewhat, Cartwright replaces longtime city employee Pam Myers, who retired at the start of this year. “I heard about the job through the National Recreation and Park Association on their website,” Cartwright said. “It was a job that fit very well into my educational and professional background, so I decided to apply for it. I came out here to interview for it, and I loved the city — loved the town and loved everything about it.” Cartwright said one reason he went after the job is that he is a camping enthusiast who has a passion for working outdoors. “It’s a pretty varied position right now,” Cartwright said. “I’m kind of learning as I go with it. It’s a newly created position. Really, a lot of it is going to be very clerical. I’ll be answering phones mostly. I’m the first direct line of contact for reservations.” Cartwright is responsible for booking reservations at a number of park facilities, including rental cabins, tent sites and recreational vehicles sites. “I’ll be handing basic customer
service for people,” Cartwright said. “Then, also, some slight social media and marketing for the park too.” Cartwright grew up in Omaha and graduated from Creighton Preparatory School in 2004. He attended college in St. Louis and his hometown. “I went to school at Saint Louis University for my undergrad and then transferred to the University of Nebraska at Omaha and graduated in 2009 from there,” Cartwright said. “I got my degree in recreation and leisure studies.” Prior to accepting the Mozingo position, Cartwright was employed by Blue Moon Fitness and a few hotels in Omaha. Cartwright said this is the first fulltime job he’s had that’s related to his degree. Though he’s spent most of his life in bigger cities, Cartwright said he is already coming to appreciate Maryville’s small-town lifestyle. “It’s relaxing actually,” Cartwright said. “I’m definitely getting more sleep at night. People told me I would come here and get bored easily, but I’m sure it’s just as easy to get bored in a place like Omaha. It’s very quiet here, and everyone is very friendly here. You can’t beat being able to get anywhere in 10 minutes.” Park patrons wishing to make reservations or learn more about recreational opportunities at Mozingo Lake, can call Cartwright at (660) 562-2323.
Lawmakers still torn on tax cut JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Republicans in charge of Missouri’s Legislature remain committed to cutting income taxes this year. But at the midpoint of their session, senators are still divided about how to do that. There is no consensus about how large of a tax cut to pursue, exactly whose taxes to cut and whether a tax cut should be contingent on other factors. Senators have debated several different approaches without taking a vote and are expected
to resume the discussion sometime this week. The internal GOP disagreement basically centers on whether to appease or put the squeeze on Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, who vetoed an income tax cut last year. Some Republicans want to try to compromise and pass a tax cut that Nixon might sign. The leading advocate for that approach is Sen. Will Kraus, the chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee. See LAWMAKERS Page 3

LOCAL NEWS Museum to honor Carneal
Red Door donation
The Nodaway County Historical Society will host a public 80th birthday celebration for Tom Carneal from 1-4 p.m. Tuesday, April 8, at the society’s museum, located at 110 N. Walnut St. in Maryville. Carneal, who taught history for many years at Northwest Missouri State University, was a driving force in establishing the museum as well as construction of a new museum building in the 1990s. Thanks in large part to Carneal’s efforts, the society today owns and maintains historical displays in its main building, the antebellum Caleb Burns house across the street, and an authentic one-room schoolhouse located behind the museum. Those unable to attend the reception, can mail cards and best-wishes to Carneal at 25904 State Hwy EE, Maryville, MO, 64468.

Largest wind farm planned
OREGON, Mo. (AP) — Construction is expected to begin later this year on a wind farm in northwest Missouri. Element Power officials say the operation near Oregon in Holt County will be the largest wind farm in the state. It will generate 200 megawatts of electricity at the Mill Creek Wind Farm. The power will be sold the Kansas City Power & Light. If construction goes as scheduled, the wind farm is expected to begin operating by the end of 2015. Scott Zeimetz, project manager for Element Power, says the company has not yet determined the size or number of turbines it will install on the farm. Construction will create 300 jobs, with 12 to 14 permanent full-time jobs available when the wind farm is operating.
CAPITOL NEWS Missouri auditor questions state’s child care spending
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s auditor is raising concerns about state payments to subsidize child care costs for lower-income families. Auditor Tom Schweich criticized the state Social Services Department for not having enough quality control over the payments. The findings were included in an audit issued Monday of nearly $12 million in federal funds received by Missouri. Schweich found that one-third of the payments reviewed by his office were not supported by proper documentation or were not in compliance with department guidelines. The audit also questioned five welfare cases where benefits were paid to recipients who might not have been eligible for the program. In a response included with the audit, the department says it “partially agrees” with Schweich’s conclusions on the child care payments. It agrees with the audit’s welfare findings.

Legion awarded state honor MARYVILLE, Mo. — James Edward Gray American Legion Post 100, Maryville, recently received the 2013 Americanism Award from the Legion’s Department of Missouri. In accepting the award, Post 100 past-Commander Amos Clampit commended Americanism Committee co-chairs Don Haynes and Bob Bohlken for their efforts in making the distinc-
tion possible. Committee-sponsored activities last year included public Memorial Day and Veterans Day observances and Post 100 participation in the Missouri Department’s Boys State youth leadership program. With the financial support from Hopkins’ American Legion post 288, Nucor-LMP, Ralph O’Riley, the Maryville Rotary Club, Nodaway Valley Bank and
the Maryville Host Lions Club, Post 100 was able to sponsor seven area high school students who attended last year’s Boys State gathering in Warrensburg. On other the fronts, the post distributed picture books to the third- and fourth-grade students at three Maryville elementary schools that described proper U.S. flag etiquette and hosted local and zone
Legion oratorical contests designed to promote an understanding and appreciation of the U.S. Constitution. Finally, in a program meant to recognize and promote good citizenship, Post 100 presented two graduating Maryville High School Seniors with medallions and $250 scholarships at last year’s MHS awards assembly.
State agencies promoting ‘Trash Bash’ cleanup effort JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Two Missouri agencies are encouraging residents to spend April cleaning up the state’s roadsides, parks, rivers and trails as part of the sixth annual “Trash Bash.” Missouri’s Conservation and Transportation departments are sponsoring the event, which also includes educational efforts in schools, community events, Earth Day celebrations and media promotions. Organizers say programs like the trash bash help offset the cost of cleaning up litter and let the two agencies devote resources to other priorities. Volunteers will receive thank-you pins commemorating the 30th birthday of Peanut the Turtle, who has lived with the Conservation Department since 1993. The turtle crawled into a discarded plastic six-pack ring when it was young, causing its shell to be peanut-shaped as the turtle grew.
STATE/NATIONAL MSU renovating buildings
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Missouri State University plans to add more student housing by updating two buildings with strong connections to Springfield’s history. The university will spend $1.8 million to improve Kentwood Hall and another $1 million to renovate Sunvilla Tower. Kentwood was built in 1926 and was once a premiere hotel, where Harry Truman and Groucho Marx stayed. The 19-story Sunvilla Tower, built in 1963, was once was one of the most sought-after apartment locations in Springfield. When the renovations are complete, students who are 21 or older will be able to drink alcohol in their rooms. University officials say both buildings will be marketed to older students.
Wildfires thought to be arson JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — State conservation officials suspect arson in about 20 wildfires near the Truman Reservoir in west-central Missouri in the past week. The Department of Conservation says the fires burned more than 1,000 acres of public and private land. No injuries or structural losses have been reported, but officials say wildfires can cause significant harm and that fighting them costs money and puts people at risk. The conservation agency says crews have fought about 50 fires this year in Henry and St. Clair counties that have burned about 3,000 acres. Officials are urging people to report any suspicious activity that could be related to intentionally set fires.

Lawmakers divided on tax cut Continued from Page 1 “A real tax cut is one that becomes law and takes effect,” said Kraus, of the Kansas City suburb of Lee’s Summit. Other Republicans prefer to disregard the governor’s objections and pass a tax cut that might require a veto override to enact. The leading voice for that approach has been Sen. Eric Schmitt, the chairman of the Senate Jobs, Economic Development and Local Government Committee. “I don’t know why we wouldn’t move forward with something we believe in and let the chips
fall where they may,” said Schmitt, of the St. Louis suburb of Glendale. The disagreement over strategy comes in an election year during which Republicans are seeking to build upon some of their largest legislative majorities in state history while Democrats are mounting a more concerted effort to start winning back some of the legislative seats they have lost over the past decade. Last year, Republicans passed a wide-ranging bill that would have gradually cut state income tax rates for individuals and corporations, expanded a tax break
for low-income individuals and phased in a new deduction for business income reported on individual tax returns. It would have cut income taxes even further if Congress passed federal legislation making it easier for states to collect taxes from online retail sales. Nixon vetoed the legislation while citing technical drafting errors and concerns that a tax cut of hundreds of millions of dollars could drain money from public schools and other state services. A veto override attempt failed when House Republicans fell 15 votes short of the 109 needed for a two-thirds major-
ity. As a result, the Senate never voted on a veto override. This year, Nixon has said he will sign a tax cut of up to one-half of a percentage point for individuals, but only under certain conditions. It must be contingent upon full funding for public schools, state revenue growth of at least $200 million and new limits on tax credits for developers of historic buildings and low-income housing. And Nixon said the bill can’t include a special tax deduction for pass-through business income reported on individual tax returns.

MARYVILLE R-II SCHOOLS
Bond issue will add a level of security
The Maryville R-II School District will be asking the community to support the approval of a No Tax Increase Bond Issue on April 8, 2014. With the approval of this bond issue it will allow for the district to address much needed issues such as security upgrades to building entrances. At the high school campus, the main entrance will be moved to the west side of the building and add a new layer of security to the building through a double door system. Principal Jason Eggers says “Moving the entrance to the HS to the West side and having a secure entrance will be great. Many patrons feel the west side looks like the “front” yet is locked during the day. I believe moving the entrance will make the HS look more appealing and will also be more welcoming to the community. Utilizing the double door system, keeps the entrance “personable” yet adds a layer of security to people entering the building.” At Eugene Field Elementary, the main entrance to the building will be redesigned to enforce security and eliminate visitors from accessing the building without approval. Holly Brady, EFE Principal, says, “Even though you walk by the school office when entering Eugene Field, there is no guarantee that a secretary or school principal will see you. We have many safety practices and procedures in place, but on occasion, there may be a time where we do not see someone coming into the building or are away from our desk. Therefore, with secure entrances, we are providing one more step to ensure that all visitors Larry Linthacum are noticed before enterR-II Superintendent ing into our building. This entrance eliminates the possibility of unapproved access to the hallways and classrooms.” Maryville Middle School and Northwest Technical School will also be included in this project. Both facilities will be enhancing their entry security through a secured entrance system. The initial plans will call for a closed circuit camera system that allows office personnel to have a visual identification on all visitors to the building. Upon confirmation of the visitor the office personnel will be able to electronically release the locked door. This will allow the visitor to enter the building and the office staff will be able to monitor their access. Kevin Pitts, MMS Principal, says, “Security at MMS is always at the top of our priority list.

COBBLER’S COLUMN
Bowl for Kids’ Sake worthy of your attention, investment
Do things seem just a little out of place? Those of you who faithfully follow ‘Legends of the Fall,’ — the usually weekly observances of Executive Editor Jim Fall — will quickly recognize that I have hijacked his spot on our Opinion page. Well, not really. Mr. Fall — as I regret to inform you — has been more than a little bit under the weather. It turns out that it takes something pretty serious to keep “The Fall Guy” from his journalistic duties. I am pleased to report that the eldest — eh, hmm — most experienced — of all our staff members is now on the uptick and is expected to return home today from what will be a six-night, pneumonia-induced stay in St. Francis Hospital. As much as I would hate to admit it to his face, things seem to go much smoother when the ol’ veteran is around. Hurry back, Mr. Fall. Everyone here at the newspaper misses you and I am sure that your readers miss you, as well. So, on to the topic of this substitute column — Bowl for Kids’ Sake. Bowl for Kids’ Sake is the number one biggest and most important annual fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nodaway County. According to Lynette Harbin, director of the local BBBS, the goal for the 2014 edition of BFKS is $35,000. That’s roughly half of the organization’s annual budget. I’ve been involved either directly as a board member or indirectly as a sponsor since 2010 and I am convinced that Big Brothers Big Sisters is one of the best investments of your charitable dollar you will find. The local chapter of BBBS prides itself on making a difference in the lives of young people right here in Nodaway County. The mission of BBBS overall is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported, one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
I can’t tell you how many times Lynette has emailed the board with news of a teacher who has praised the program because of a positive change in a student or a parent who has thanked the program for making a positive impact in their child’s life.

Statistics show that kids who are involved in BBBS are much less likely to engage in risky and/or illegal behaviors. They are less likely to use drugs, less likely to use alchohol, less likely to skip school, less likely to skip class and less likely to engage in physical violence. The most common result I hear of with the local effort is that kids’ grades improve. “When Littles feel good about themselves, they can positively impact their friends and families, schools and communities, Harbin said. Their have been previous BBBS efforts in Nodaway County, but none as successful as the current effort. The current version began in 2007 and struggled to pick up momentum until Harbin took over in 2010. When she got started there were about 25 matches of Bigs with Littles. Today, the mentoring organization boasts 51 matches throughout Nodaway County. So what can you do to help? There are numerous ways to support the local chapter of BBBS. You can be a
Big. Even with the recent success of the program, there is always a waiting list of girls and boys in Nodaway County waiting to be matched with a Big. Men can be Bigs. Women can be Bigs. Even couples can be Bigs. You can be a board member. The local board is always looking for potential future members. Right now, one of the primary focuses of the program is to make a larger impact throughout the county in the smaller communities. There are matches throughout the county, but they would like to see those numbers grow. The need has been identified, the right people just need to step up and get involved. A really fun and easy way to get involved right now is the aforementioned Bowl for Kids’ Sake. Teams of six combine to find about $125 per person in sponsorships prior to the event, which will take place at Bearcat Lanes on Friday, April 4. Prizes are given to the top individual and team fund raisers. There are all sorts of ways to get involved and have fun that night. There will be free pizza, drinks and t-shirts and chances to win a variety of prizes. And — oh yeah —there’s bowling. What might be the most exciting to me is the silent auction. I’m told there will be a football signed by the state champion Maryville Spoofhounds, one signed by the national champion Northwest Bearcats and one signed by the Chiefs. There will also be a Tom Watson-signed hat up for bids among numerous other desirable items. So if you’re looking for something to throw your weight behind, I recommend getting involved with BBBS. Sign up a team for BFKS. Lynette tells me there are still times available. Have fun bowling and raising money for a great local cause and find out more about the program. Call (660) 562-7981 today. Who knows? Maybe you will be the next Big to make a difference in the life of a young person.

Cool spring can delay pasture grazing for cattle By DUANE DAILY MU Extension
At the first sign of green grass growing in pastures, farmers will be tempted to turn in livestock for grazing. “Hold back,” said Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist. “Wait for grass to reach a minimum 4 inches of new growth. More is better. “After a long hard winter, I am as sick of feeding hay as anyone,” Kallenbach said. “But I’ll try to hold back.” A delayed start on grazing
becomes more important than usual this spring. “Pastures will be weak and thin,” he said. “Give grasses a chance to gain strength.” Pastures were hurt two ways. Dry weather last fall left grasses weak going into winter. The fall of 2013 was drier than the fall of the drought year of 2012, when hurricane rains revived fall pastures. Secondly, extreme cold killed or set back grass this year. “You think grass doesn’t grow in winter,” Kallenbach
said. “But it is alive and growing. Any new growth was frozen repeatedly.” Extreme variations in temperatures made winterkill worse. There would be 60 degrees one day. Three days later it would fall below zero again. “The plant would react to the springlike temperatures—and then get zapped. “The cure for weak stands is rest and regrowth to restore depleted sugar reserves,” he said. Grazing too early could cause need for pasture reseeding later, or the weak
stands could become crowded out with weeds. Thin stands leave open spaces for weed seedlings to emerge. Kallenbach recommends taking a pasture walk to evaluate the growth. “Check the pastures before turning in the cows.” There is good news for those who overseeded pastures with legumes in February. “This should be a good clover year,” Kallenbach said. The same open spaces that allow weeds to grow also provide less competi-
tion for clover, lespedeza or trefoil. A thin grass stand allows sunshine and moisture to reach the legume seedling. Kallenbach recommends broadcast seeding legumes in grass pastures “on the last snow” every year. Legumes add protein to the grazing diet for livestock and dilute the impact of toxic Kentucky 31 fescue. Also, legumes add nitrogen to the soil. “This year, freezing and thawing worked the seed into the soil. That’s good for the legumes,” he said.
Patience in letting early grass grow will affect grass production all season long, Kallenbach says. “Holding livestock off to let grass grow from 3 inches up to 5 inches makes a big difference.” That can happen in a few days. Feeding hay a little longer will help the grass. Kallenbach conducts his grazing research with cow herds at the MU research centers at Mount Vernon, Columbia and Linneus. All are part of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
Regional Hay School to be held Local farmer supports children’s farm safety Saturday, April 5 in Linneus LINNEUS, Mo. – A regional ‘Hay School’ is scheduled for Saturday, April 5 at the Forage Systems Research Center in Linneus.

Asgrow and DEKALB brands donated items for the evening auction event. After Monsanto’s America’s Farmers matching donation, the farmers collectively raised $4,234 dollars to support the farm safety program. “We couldn’t have the programs and materials we have at Farm Safety For Just Kids if it weren’t for our supporters,” said Farm Safety For Just Kids Executive Director Dave Schweitz. “It’s great that we are thought of so we can continue to provide farm safety educational resources to children everywhere.” The Farm Safety For Just Kids nonprofit program was developed to address child accidents and injuries in the agricultural industry. The organization makes a difference in the lives of families by providing educational resources and programs to rural children about farm safety. Monsanto has been a supporter of this organization since 2001 and has seven active Midwest chapters to help keep farm children safe.

Nodaway County prepares for war on Japan EDITOR’S NOTE: Maryville resident Ed Hurayt, an enthusiastic collector of guns, military gear and other artifacts, recently purchased a box of old newspapers at auction — including a stack of decadesold editions of the Maryville Daily Forum. Ed was kind enough to donate the papers
to the current MDF, and we thought our readers might enjoy reading some of the stories from these yellowing pages that offer glimpses into Maryville’s past. The Forum will run selections from the papers each week along with an image of the front page.

Overwhelmingly, and with the greatest unity shown in many days on Capitol Hill, the Senate and House backed up President Roosevelt’s request for a war declaration with unprecedented speed. The Senate vote, the first to be recorded, was 82 to 0. The Senate vote of 82 to 0 and the House vote of 388 to 1 told their own story of unity in the face of common danger. The speed with which the two chambers granted President Roosevelt’s request for a declaration was unprecedented. The single adverse House vote was that of Miss Jean-

nette Rankin, Republican congresswoman from Montana, who was among the few who voted against the 1917 declaration of war on Germany. The officially announced loss of two warships and 3,000 men dead and wounded in Japan’s raid on Hawaii was fresh in the minds of legislators. The Senate and House had assembled together to hear President Roosevelt ask for the declaration. They cheered him enthusiastically and then pushed the resolution through with not a moment’s waste of time. Both branches had just cheered to the echo of President Roosevelt’s appeal for the declaration. “I ask,” the chief executive told a joint session, “that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.” The President said that yesterday was “a date which will live in infamy.” Within 20 minutes after he finished the Senate had acted. There was no demonstration following the Senate vote. The members immediately returned to routine matters. “In this shocking hour words will not express our feelings nor our righteous indignation,” said Rep. Luther Johnson (D-Tex.). He called the Japanese
attacks “dastardly treachery characteristic of the totalitarian outlaws who talk peace when they have already drawn the dagger to strike.” Missouri senators back FDR on war ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri’s senators, Bennett Champ Clark and Harry S. Truman, frequently at variance over national policy, both backed President Roosevelt today in the war crisis. Before boarding a Washington-bound plane last night, Clark, vigorous critic of the administration’s foreign policy, declared “the time for argument had passed with Japan’s attack on the United States.” … Truman, who also boarded a plane here, said, “it’s for the welfare of the country that we must declare war and put Japan in its place.” Clark stated that the result of Japan’s action “will be the practical destruction of the Japanese nation.” Nodaway Countians in the Pacific A large number of persons from Nodaway County and this section of Missouri are among the soldiers, sailors and civilians in the war-torn areas of Hawaii, the Philippines and other United States island possessions. Due to strict military orders, the locations of a number of those are not known, even to their close relatives. Among those known to be in the Pacific area are:
Bill Hull, son of Probate and Mrs. M.J. Hull, Maryville, is stationed at Clark Field, about 70 miles from Manila, P.I., with headquarters of a bombardment group. Junior Rowan, former MHS and STC students, a nephew of Miss Bertha Spidle, Maryville, is also at Clark Field with a squadron which is part of the group to which Hull is attached. … Kenneth Weir, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Weir of near Maryville, is stationed at Pearl Harbor with the U.S.S. Maryland. Everett Kae Donahue, son of Mr. and Mrs. S.J. Donahue of Maryville, is stationed on the oil tanker Pecos off the coast of Manila. Elza Crenshaw, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elza Crenshaw, Sr., of Conception Junction, is stationed at Pearl Harbor. … Corporal Samuel D. McKee, son of Mr. and Mrs. S.E. McKee of Ravenwood, is stationed in Hawaii with the 50th squadron air force. Navy recruiters coming to Maryville United States Navy recruiters will be at the post office in Maryville from 1 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, December 17, and may be contacted by anyone interested in enlisting in the regular Navy or Naval Reserve … Age limits for enlisting in the regular Navy (are) 17 to 31 years while age limits for enlisting in the Naval Reserve (are) 17 to 50 depending on the Reserve class for which enlistment is made.
Missourians brace for higher flood rates ANNADA, Mo. (AP) — For thousands of Missouri residents, flood insurance premiums are about to go up. People living in flood plains around the nation will soon see a jump in premiums through the National Flood Insurance Program, though a new law softens
the blow a bit. Under a 2012 statute, premiums could have risen from $2,000 annually to $13,000, but residential rate hikes are now limited to 18 percent a year. In Missouri, people who live near the river are often poor or on fixed incomes. Dropping insurance isn’t
an option for most because banks require mortgage holders to have it. Selling property that’s so costly to insure is problematic. Willie Richter, the mayor of West Alton, believes many people will simply be forced to abandon their homes.

Hounds open season with win By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
The Maryville girls soccer team didn’t get off to the best start in head coach Dale Reuter’s debut, but after a bumpy first few minutes took over against Kansas City Lutheran Monday afternoon to win 8-1. “At halftime I told them, ‘If we could get rid of that first six minutes and those last two minutes in the half, in that middle time there, we played good ball,’” Reuter said. Lutheran got on the board in the third minute on what turned out to be an own goal by the Spoofhounds, but that was all the Lady Knights would get as Maryville took a 3-1 lead into halftime. “They came down the field on us pretty quick and got us against our goal and one thing led to another,” Reuter said. “I asked my keeper how that happened and one of my defenders turned and said, ‘I scored it.’” Junior midfielder Angie Meyers scored the tying goal in the 21st minute and junior forward Ashton Reuter scored in the 35th and 37th minutes to give the Hounds a comfortable lead.
“It took us a while to get one on the board, but once we did, it just started rolling downhill,” Dale Reuter said. In the second half, Maryville continued to control the tempo despite not adding to the lead until the 66th minute on a goal by sophomore forward Mollie Holtman. Holtman added two more goals in the half, as did Ashton Reuter to give the Hounds a pair of hat tricks in their first game of the new season. “One’s a junior and one’s a sophomore, so I get to keep them for a while,” Dale Reuter said. “They communicate well and they know where each other are on the pitch and they get the ball to one another and make good strong strikes. “Even their crosses — Mollie had one that I know she’s going to tell me was a cross that just went in. I’ll take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays. When you strike the ball well and you’re trying to do what you’re supposed to do, good things just happen.” Maryville is back in action this afternoon, kicking off against Cameron at 4:30 p.m. in Cameron.

playing baseball and have fun like we are still 8-years-old.” Fifteen players will make up the Rocket’s first-ever team, and while the group may lack school baseball experience, summer programs have provided the members of the team with some of the fundamentals. “The No. 1 thing I’ve learned from my past coaches is to make sure (assistant) coach (Heath) Harris and I teach each boy the basic fundamentals about the game,” Buholt said. “Some of the philosophies and coaching styles that coach Harris and I have might be different from what they’ve done before, but just trust the coaches. “I could tell from day one that all the boys have had very good coaching from the past, and I’m so lucky

they had local summer coaches teaching these players in their free time.” Junior Trevor Meyer and sophomore Trestan Sanders have been selected by their teammates as captains. The coaches are still making decisions concerning the lineup, but Buholt said Blake Farnan and Bryson Smith would both see action on the mound for the Rockets, and Damon Hull looks to be a valuable utility player who will see action at several different positions during the season. “A key for our success will be for us to play as one team,” Buholt said. “The boys come from Elmo, Clearmont and Burlington Junction, but we have to remember that at all times on the field we are the West Nodaway Rockets.”

Hounds look to get off to good start 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. After last season’s 6-11 finish that saw the Spoofhound baseball team get hot at the end of the year, second year head coach Matt Houchin wants to use that to get off to a good start in 2014. Maryville won the Class 3 District 16 Tournament, beating Lathrop 12-2 and Bishop LeBlond 18-11 in
districts and beating Richmond 8-4 in sectionals. The Hounds lost to Fatima, the eventual Class 3 state champions, 7-2 in the quarterfinal round of the state playoffs. Houchin said goal for this team are to not only get off to a good start, but compete in the Midland Empire Conference and repeat as district champions. Maryville went 1-6 in conference play last year and the road to the top of the MEC hasn’t gotten any easier. Smithville is preseason ranked in Class 4 and a few other teams will be tough. “Savannah and Benton are always tough, as is the rest of the MEC,” Houchin said.
The Spoofhound return six letterwinners in Trent Dredge, Logan Catlett, Jarret Cronin, Isaac Bledsoe, Jacob Cacek and Mitch Worthington. Dredge earned first team all-district last season at catcher and Cronin earned second team all-district honors as a pitcher. Houchin said those two are projected as his top returning hitters. Houchin, who is assisted by Jason Kurz, Andy Walter and Nic Mattson, will also trot out a six-man pitching staff featuring Cronin, Bledsoe, Worthington, Alex Catterson, Keston Oltman and Dakota Beemer. Maryville will get an early MEC test as the Spoofhounds take on Savannah this afternoon at Savannah High School.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Northwest Missouri State senior point guard DeShaun Cooper has been selected by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) to participate in the 2014 Reese’s Division II College All-Star game.

Entertainment Teen science fiction franchise ‘Divergent’ debuts with $56M By JAKE COYLE, AP Film Writer
FRANCOIS DUHAMEL
Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams, left) and Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) attempt to scam an under cover agent in Columbia Picutres’ AMERICAN HUSTLE.
‘American Hustle’ conned me into believing it was better than it was American Hustle By Gary Darling Staff Writer
I know I am going to come off as overly critical in this review but I just didn’t like much about ‘American Hustle.’ Sorry Kaity. Considering how much I like Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner, and Bradley Cooper, it is surprising that the film didn’t provoke wonderful feelings of joy from me. Instead it was disappointing. Considering that it was also nominated for ten Academy Awards, didn’t help. Although now I know why they didn’t win any of those awards. ‘American Hustle’ is just too over the top and boring to be taken seriously.
There are great performances from most of the cast, mainly Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence, but great acting can’t always support a weak script and this film had that. Now my opinion is not a popular one when it comes to this film. ‘American Hustle’ holds a 93% positive rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website and has an average score of 8.2/10 based on reviews from 240 critics. For me, though, it just wasn’t interesting enough to hold my attention and I felt the acting overwhelmed the weak story line. When con artist Irving Rosenfeld (Bale) meets up with Syndey Prosser (Adams), life begins to change for both. Sydney adds a new dimension to Rosenfeld’s scams and they quickly begin to rake in the dough. Then they pull a scam on the wrong person, FBI agent Richard
DiMaso (Cooper) and things get complicated. And this is where the true hustle begins. Maybe I am just being too critical of ‘American Hustle’ but I just found this film lacking. There are some really great moments in this film, don’t get me wrong, but the story gets overcomplicated and the acting overwhelms to the point where the film is more about the acting than a coherent plot. But that is just my opinion. I rented ‘American Hustle’ to see what all the excitement was about. Upon seeing it, I am still trying to figure that out. Next time I am just going to go and rent ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ instead. I wanted to but changed my mind at the last minute. That was a mistake and one I won’t make next time.
NEW YORK (AP) — To go with “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games,” Lionsgate now has a trio of young-adult franchises with the box-office leading “Divergent.” The teen science-fiction thriller starring Shailene Woodley debuted with $56 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The opening, while less than some anticipated, launches Lionsgate’s third franchise built on young-adult best-sellers. With an audience 59 percent female and half under the age of 25, “Divergent” lured young moviegoers with dystopian drama and an upcoming star. “Divergent,” though, fell well short of its forerunners: “Twilight” opened with $69.6 million in 2008, and “The Hunger Games” began with $152.5 million in 2012. Richie Fay, president of domestic distribution for Lionsgate, called it “a great beginning for another franchise for the company.” A sequel is already in the works. “The key to the success of these franchises is finding the difference and marketing it,” said Fay. “It’s not easy. And I think we’re doing it better than anyone else right now, frankly.” In the rush to adapt popular young-adult fiction, Lionsgate has succeeded where many others have floundered. “Divergent,” made with a budget of $85 million from Veronica Roth’s best-sellers, follows less stellar results from youth-focused films like “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,” ‘’Vampire Academy” and “Beautiful Creatures.” Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak, calls the “Divergent” debut a “three-peat” for Lionsgate in a challenging genre that defies “cookiecutter, assembly line” development. “They make it look easy,” says Dergarabedian. “You’re chasing probably the most fickle audience in the world. They can change their minds on what’s cool in the blink of an eye.” Disney’s Muppets sequel “Muppets Most Wanted,” with Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey, fared poorly, earning just $16.5 million over the weekend. “The Muppets,” opened notably better with $29.2 million in 2011, benefiting from the highprofile reboot starring and co-written by Jason Segal. Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, acknowledged the result was disappointing and somewhat “headscratching” considering advance tracking had suggested “Muppets Most Wanted” would draw bigger crowds. “There certainly was something in the last Muppets — not having anything available for fans for a while — that satisfied pent up demand that we didn’t have the benefit of this time around,” Hollis said. The family film market was also more competitive than expected, as 20th Century Fox’s animated “Mr. Peabody and Sherman” has held better than anticipated. In its third week of release, the film — tops at the box office last weekend — slid to third with $11.7 million. Studios often seek out late March release dates for family-friendly movies to benefit from spring break vacations. So “Muppets Most Wanted,” made for $50 million, could still eke out more at the box office.
Trails West!® Festival 2014 to feature diverse lineup
ST. JOSEPH, MO— The Trails West! ® Festival committee proudly announces its diverse 2014 entertainment lineup, which includes alternative rock, country and blues-pop. Bringing together topcharting musicians and exciting newcomers to the Civic Center Park main stage, Trails West!® 2014 promises to deliver an incredible weekend of music, entertainment and the visual arts on August 15-17 in Civic Center Park in St. Joseph. Rock bands Sponge and Live take the stage Friday night; country music stars Dustin Lynch and Eric Paslay entertain crowds Saturday; and festival attend-
ees Sunday will enjoy contemporary Christian band Big Daddy Weave in the morning and blues-pop singer/songwriter ZZ Ward Sunday night. “We are thrilled to announce such a fantastic lineup for the 2014 festival,” says Teresa Fankhauser, executive director, Allied Arts Council of St. Joseph. “Trails West!® offers a great weekend full of exceptional entertainment at a very affordable price. We are proud to continue with the tradition of bringing up-and-coming artists to St. Joseph.” Sponge has proven to be one of Detroit’s most heavy-hitting rock bands, and has
shared stages around the world with Guns N’ Roses, Nickelback, Iggy Pop, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Kiss. Sponge continues to be one of rock’s most sought after live acts, and front man Vinnie Dombroski captivates audiences with his powerful voice and energetic stage performances. Alternative rock band Live’s music catalog is filled with chart-topping ’90s singles including “Lightning Crashes,” “I Alone” and “All Over You,” and the band had two albums that reached no. 1 on the Billboard Top 200. After a four year hiatus, the band reformed in 2012 and has re-invigorated its sound with effusive energy and massive hooks. One of country music’s hottest rising stars, singer-songwriter Dustin Lynch is topping charts with “Cowboys and Angels” and “She Cranks My Tractor.” Lynch earned a 2013 CMT Music Award nomination for “Breakthrough Video of the Year” as well as two 2012 Fox American Country Award nominations for “Single of the Year – New Artist” and “Video of the Year – New Artist.” Country music singer-songwriter Eric Paslay’s single, “Friday Night,” hit no. 1 on the Mediabase 24/7 country chart in January 2014 and “Song About a Girl” is getting radio play now. He has toured with country music stars Little Big Town, The Eli Young Band, Jake Owen and others. Sunday morning’s worship service will feature Big Daddy Weave, a contemporary Christian band with more than a
decade of hits like “In Christ,” “Audience of One,” “You’re Worthy of My Praise” and more. They are one of the 10 most played artists on Christian radio over the past decade and most recently hit the top of the Christian AC chart with “Love Come to Life.” The festival’s entertainment concludes Sunday evening with ZZ Ward, whose unique blues-meets-hip-hop artistry is selling out headline tours in the U.S. Her current single, “365 Days,” is quickly rising in multiple radio formats and her songs have been featured on Nashville, The Voice, Pretty Little Liars, The Good Wife, The Client List, Awkward, Mob Wives and in the feature film We’re the Millers. Admission to the festival is by souvenir button or 2014 Trails West! ® T-shirt. The buttons, good for admission to all three days of the festival, are $8 in advance and $10 at the festival gates. All festival guests over the age of 10 will need a button for admission. Trails West! ® T-shirts must be purchased in advance and can be worn to the festival as an alternative option to purchasing an admission button. Trails West! ® is an arts festival, celebrating the unique cultural heritage of St. Joseph. A program of the Allied Arts Council, the festival is coordinated by a volunteer steering committee, and receives financial assistance from the St. Joseph Convention and Visitors Bureau, the City of St. Joseph, and the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.

ASTRO-GRAPH TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2014 by Bernice Bede Osol You will be rewarded for your humanitarian acts and unselfish assistance. You will find personal fulfillment, providing you maintain your high-spirited nature as well as your determination and stamina. Collaborating with an interesting party will lead to a meaningful venture. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is no need to be envious. Devote your energy to your goals, and you will be successful. Precious time will be wasted if you get caught up making comparisons. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Consider the consequences before rushing into a situation, or you may end up repeating past errors. Make sure to take a long look at any proposition that comes your way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t sell yourself short. Be proud of all you have experienced and accomplished. Expanding your social circle will provide you with influential new associations. Put your assets front and center. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t be reluctant to act quickly if an opportunity arises. The offer may be revoked if you are too slow to accept, and you could lose a chance to advance your position. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Get involved with those who have similar ambitions to yours. You have made great strides, but a little extra help never hurts. A team effort will be beneficial to your current situation.

Ambrose Bierce defined a dentist as a prestidigitator who, while putting metal in one’s mouth, pulls coins out of one’s pockets. A bridge player also
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- While your professional profile may be strong, a personal relationship may be weakening. Allot some time to take care of your home, family, friendships and any other connection you deem important. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Maximize the positive energy that currently surrounds you. It’s likely that your current colleagues will play a key role in your future plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s fine to follow your dreams, but be honest about your intentions. Don’t make any false promises if you want to continue to get the necessary help to reach your goals. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Romance is highlighted. Take a chance and get involved in a project that interests you. A sudden change of plans will take you by surprise and bring you a tasty reward. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Refuse to be bullied into something that you don’t agree with. Be flexible, and try to arrange a compromise that will suit everyone. Don’t say something you may regret later. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Keep abreast of what’s going on around you. Focus on collaborating with influential people. Consider the past before renewing contact with an old friend or lover. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You shouldn’t assume that everyone is as honest as you are. Do your homework before accepting a tempting offer. An exciting new prospect may come with strings attached.
wants it both ways: Heads I make my contract, tails you fail in yours. In this deal, South is in four spades. West cashes his two top diamonds, then shifts to the club 10. How should declarer continue? This is one auction that always mystifies less experienced players. By an unpassed hand, after partner’s takeout double and responder’s pass, if advancer (the doubler’s partner) makes a simple suit-bid, it shows some 0-8 points; a jump in a suit is approximately 9-11; and a cue-bid of the opener’s suit indicates 12 points or more. After South’s cue-bid, the auction turns to natural. Declarer’s only problem is in the trump suit. He must avoid two losers. In this case, the bidding should help him, but the right play is the same, even if during the auction the opponents gave excellent impersonations of Trappist monks. If South starts with a
finesse of his queen, West wins with his king, and declarer has a nasty guess on the second round. Should he finesse East for the jack or play for West to have started with king-jack-doubleton? Instead, South should first cash his spade ace. When the king drops, he can bring home an overtrick. But even if the ace collects only the five and six, declarer can cross to dummy and lead a spade toward his queen. He has no guess to make.

Missing Malaysian plane went down in ocean KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The missing Malaysia Airlines plane crashed into a remote corner of the Indian Ocean, the nation’s prime minister said Monday night, citing a new analysis of satellite data. The statement was the first major step toward resolving a 2-week-old mystery that has consumed the world. But with the location of Flight 370 itself still unknown — most likely somewhere at the bottom of the sea — profound questions
remain about what brought down the aircraft and why. Dressed in a black suit, Prime Minister Najib Razak announced the news in a brief statement to reporters, saying the information was based on an unprecedented study of data from a satellite that had received the final known signals from the plane. He said the data indicated that the Boeing 777, which took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8 with 239 passengers and crew,
flew “to a remote location, far from any possible landing sites.” “It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.” In Beijing, relatives shrieked and sobbed uncontrollably and men and women held up their loved ones when they heard the news. Their grief came pouring out after days of waiting for definitive word on the fate
of their relatives aboard the missing plane. The family members in Beijing had been called to a hotel near the airport to hear the announcement. Afterward, they filed out of a conference room in heartwrenching grief. One woman collapsed and fell on her knees, crying “My son! My son!” Medical teams arrived with several stretchers and at least one elderly man was carried out of the conference room on one of them, his
faced covered by a jacket. Minutes later a middle-aged woman was taken out on another, her face ashen and her eyes blank and expressionless. Nan Jinyan, whose brother-in-law Yan Ling was aboard the flight, said she was prepared for the worst. “This is a blow to us, and it is beyond description,” Nan said. In Kuala Lumpur, Selamat Omar, the father of a 29-year-old aviation engineer who was on the flight,
said some family members there broke down in tears at the news. “We accept the news of the tragedy. It is fate,” Selamat told The Associated Press. “We know there are no words that we or anyone else can say which can ease your pain,” Malaysia Airlines said in a statement. “The ongoing multinational search operation will continue, as we seek answers to the questions which remain.”
Execution will be state’s 5th in five months ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri death row inmate Jeffrey Ferguson is holding out hope that his life will be spared, but he is ready to accept his fate, either way, his attorney said Monday. Ferguson, 59, is scheduled to die by injection at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for raping and killing a 17-year-old girl in 1989. Prosecutors say Ferguson abducted Kelli Hall from the St. Charles service station where she worked, sexually assaulted her and stabbed her to death. Her body was found 13 days after her abduction in Maryland Heights, another St. Louis suburb. Attorney Jennifer Herndon has asked the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to intervene, citing concerns that Missouri’s execution drug, purchased from an unnamed compounding pharmacy, could cause pain and suffering for Ferguson. Another appeal, to the U.S. Supreme Court, seeks a delay in
the execution until the courts can determine other issues, including whether Ferguson’s conviction was based in part on false testimony from an FBI agent. Gov. Jay Nixon was also weighing a clemency request. Herndon said Ferguson remains positive, despite his approaching execution date. “He’s very religious, truly very religious,” she said. “He doesn’t want to die, but he feels like when he does he’ll be with Jesus, so how can that be all bad?” The execution would be Missouri’s fifth in five months and its fifth straight using a single drug, pentobarbital. Though critics have raised concerns about the drug and the secretive ways Missouri obtains and uses it to kill inmates, there were no obvious signs of suffering during the last four executions: Joseph Paul Franklin in November; Allen Nicklasson in December; Herbert Smulls in
January; and Michael Taylor in February. Ferguson is remorseful for his crime, Herdon said. She said he was so drunk that he didn’t recall abducting and killing Hall. “He was an alcoholic,” Herndon said. “He doesn’t remember what he did, but he’s looked at the evidence and knows he was responsible. What he did really affects him.” St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch said it was a “horrible” crime that merits the death penalty. “She gets abducted, abused in unspeakable manner by this guy and then slowly murdered and dumped in a field like a bag of garbage,” McCulloch said. A phone listing for Kelli Hall’s father, Jim Hall, could not be found, but he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he wants to see Ferguson die for his crime. “I look forward to being there and hopeful he’ll see my face before he dies,” Hall said.
Rita Linhardt, chairwoman of the board of Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, said Ferguson has been a model prisoner since turning his life around behind bars and accepting Christianity. Ferguson helped start a hospice program for other inmates, facilitated a program in which victims talked to inmates about the harms of their crimes, and has counseled other inmates. “He’s making a positive difference,” Linhardt said. “Society doesn’t gain anything by his execution. He’s not the same man he was 24 years ago.” McCulloch said Ferguson should be commended for his work while in prison, but still must pay for his crime with his life. “It doesn’t excuse him from receiving the punishment he so richly deserves,” McCulloch said.
