Glidden said he didn’t know if the briefcase contained all of the stolen money, which totaled about $10,000. But the stash appeared to include a significant amount of currency in $100, $50, $20, $10 and $5 bills. Still to be recovered, Glidden said, is the gun, or guns, used in the holdup. On the day of the robbery, White said last week, at least one of two suspects who entered the bank displayed a handgun. A third man reportedly remained in the trio’s vehicle, a burnt-orange Ford Explorer, and served as the getaway driver. In other developments related to the holdup, Glidden said that video captured by security cameras inside the bank is being studied, and that local authorities are continuing their investigation in
conjunction with the FBI, since bank robbery is a federal offense. The filing of federal charges against the three men is “the ultimate goal,” Glidden said. Though bond has been set, all three suspects remain in custody, Glidden said. However, he would not confirm if they are still being held in the Nodaway County jail. The robbery occurred about 11:15 a.m. Friday at the Citizen’s Bank & Trust in Burlington Junction after two of the three suspects reportedly entered the building through a back door and demanded money at gunpoint. Escaping in their Ford, the men were followed by a private citizen who moments before had called White on a cell phone and told the sheriff that the men looked suspicious. Officers from various state and county agencies soon joined the chase, including personnel from Maryville Public Safety, the Mis-
souri and Iowa state patrols and deputies from Page and Taylor counties in Iowa. In addition to a small fleet of patrol cars, two airplanes were dispatched to pursue the robbers from above. According to White, the winding pursuit proceeded north on Dynasty, a gravel road, and ultimately northbound again on Route FF to the Iowa line, where the blacktop changes to gravel. Once in Iowa, the suspects abandoned the Ford and backtracked on foot into a wooded area on the Missouri side of the border. The holdup was the second bank robbery in Nodaway County in less than six months. On Nov. 13 a suspect made away with less that $2,000 from the Bank Midwest branch at the corner of South Main and South Avenue in Maryville. Earlier this month David Brown Jr., 39, Kansas City, was arrested in connection with that crime. He was to be indicted on charges related to the Maryville holdup as well as similar offenses in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Dec. 20 and Manhattan, Kan., on Nov. 27.

Found money
Paper currency in denominations from $100 down to $1, believed to have been stolen in Friday’s bank robbery in Burlington Junction, is displayed on a table in a lower level room of the County Administration Center. Acting on information developed during the ongoing investigation, sheriff’s deputies found the money in an undisclosed location around 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Waste, tire collection set for this Saturday By TONY BROWN News editor
One hurt in two-car collision
KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM
A two-car accident occurred shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Market and East First streets in Maryville. A silver Chevrolet Impala containing the driver and a passenger was traveling north on Market and stopped for a stop sign at the intersection. Continuing northbound, the Impala struck a brown Chevrolet Suburban containing only the driver that was traveling east on First Street. Following the impact, the Suburban spun around and came to a stop facing west. The passenger in the Impala reportedly suffered injuries and was taken by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital & Health Services. The names of the drivers and passenger were not immediately available.

The weather may not feel like it yet, but it’s spring cleaning time, and these days that means recycling all the paint, cleaners, solvents and fluids that have piled up in the garage over the winter, not to mention the new-style compact fluorescent light bulbs and dead batteries collecting dust in catch-all drawers and cabinets. And then there are those old snow tires. Getting rid of such household waste safely and legally can be a real hassle in an environmentally conscious age, which is why the Northwest Missouri Solid Waste Management District is hosting a household hazardous waste disposal and tire collection event from 8 a.m. until noon this Saturday at the Nodaway County maintenance garage, located at 1516 E. Halsey St. in Maryville. Unlike past years, the 2014 collection will accept both household waste and scrap tires. According to Linda Laderoute, environmental planner for the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments, state funding is no longer available for tire recycling. Fortunately, she said, Nucor-LMP has stepped into the breach and is providing both the trucks and personnel needed to load up the tires and haul them to EnTire Recycling in Rock Port.

Filing period closes for August vote By TONY BROWN News editor
The filing period for this year’s August primary election officially ended Tuesday with only two county officeholders picking up opposition. First-term Presiding Commissioner Robert Schieber, a Democrat, will still run unopposed in the primary, as will newly declared candidate Bill Walker, a Maryville businessman, who has filed as a Republican. But the men will then face off for the office itself — the county’s top elected post — during the general election in November. A similar situation exists in the race for associate circuit judge, where Republican Doug Thomson and Democrat Tina Meyer Deiter, both Maryville attorneys, are both seeking to replace retiring Judge Glen Dietrich on the bench, which is part of Missouri’s Fourth Judicial Circuit. Other local candidates filing at the Nodaway County clerk’s office over the past month consist solely of incumbents, including Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice (Republican); Circuit Court Clerk Elaine Wilson (Republican); County Recorder of
Deeds Sandy Smail (Democrat); and County Clerk Beth Walker (Democrat). Barring some unforeseen circumstance, all will be re-elected by default. As for the state races with a direct affect on Nodaway County, Republican Dan Hegeman will run unopposed in both the primary and general elections for the 12th District state Senate seat to be vacated by Sen. Brad Lager under Missouri’s term limits law. On the House side, Republicans Stan Sportsman, Roger Parshall, Kathy DeVault and Allen Andrews — along with Nodaway County Democrat Robert Ritterbusch — will seek to win the 1st District seat now held by state Rep. Mike Thomson, Maryville, who is also being term-limited out of office. Likewise, several candidates from both major parties will take on U.S. Rep. Sam Graves in Missouri’s 6th Congressional district. In the race for the GOP nomination are Kyle Reid, Brian L. Tharp, Graves and Christopher Ryan. Democrats with their hat in the ring include Bill Hedge, Edward Dwayne Fields and Gary Lynn Crose. Libertarian Russ Monchil is also running.

KCP&L Cold Weather Rule coming to an end
After a winter of record-breaking cold, Kansas City Power & Light advised customers Tuesday that a range of payment assistance programs are available to those who have fallen behind on their electricity bills. The utility, which serves Maryville and other area communities, urged customers in arrears to contact the company and establish arrangements for payment by April 1. The timing has to do with the expiration March 31 of Missouri’s Cold Weather Rule, which bars utilities from disconnecting service based on lack of payment during extremely cold weather. In addition, the rule provides for certain types of payment arrangements over a period of up to 12 months. To take advantage of these provisions, a KCP&L release stated, power users must call the utility’s Customer Service Center at (888) 471-5275 while the Cold Weather Rule is still in effect. KCP&L says it has various programs and services to help customers, and those who are interested in the various payment options can also go to www.kcpl.com/ financialassist.

Plans coming together for Fourth Street corridor
City Manager Greg McDanel addressed the Maryville City Council this week with regard to the purchase of a vacant lot at the northeast corner of Fourth and Buchanan Streets that will facilitate planned construction of a new streetscape, to include sidewalks, lighting and landscaping, along West Fourth Street later this year.
Low bid boosts street overlay By TONY BROWN News editor
The Maryville City Council found itself on easy street this week in accepting a lower than expected bid from Keller Construction Co. of St. Joseph for the asphalt overlay this summer of 16 streets in addition to the repaving of vehicle paths at municipally owned Oak Hill Cemetery. Last fall the council budgeted $375,000 for street overlays in addition to $90,000 for fresh pavement at the cemetery. At that time, a dozen streets were on the list plus five “alternate” roadways in line for repaving if enough money was available. The Keller base bid of only $302,600, plus another $74,575 for the cemetery, means that both the core and alternate streets will get new asphalt this year. Added to the list are West Thompson, West Fifth from Fillmore to the dead end, Faustiana Drive and Vista Lane. Other streets included earlier in this year’s proposed round of resurfacing are Maryvue Drive, the 200 block of North Laura, Sunset Drive, West Halsey from Walnut to Dunn, South Dunn from Cooper to Edwards, North Walnut between Fourth and Prather, Lisa Lane, Seventh Street between Laura and Depot, Lincoln Circle, Lincoln Street between Main and Walnut, the 200 block of East Grant and the 700 block of South Vine.
Total estimated cost of the work, including the cemetery, comes to $467,655, which is slightly higher than the budgeted amount of $465,000. But City Manager Greg McDanel told the council the exceptionally low bid was simply too good an offer to quibble over for the sake of saving a couple of thousand dollars.

The Keller base bid of only $302,600, plus another $74,575 for the cemetery, means that both the core and alternate streets will get new asphalt this year. “Staff believes we received highly competitive bids and should accept the additional work slightly outside budgeted amounts,” McDanel stated in his written report to the city’s governing board. As for the bookkeeping, the city will fund the overlays with $375,000 from its General Fund, $74,575 from a Cemetery Perpetual Fund transfer and $18,080 from the nearly exhausted Capital Improvement Projects fund derived from a half-cent city sales tax set to expire in 2018. Missing from the roster of streets badly in need of fresh pavement is West Ninth between Main Street and Northwest Missouri State University. McDanel said earlier that though the street is in rough shape, repairs will have to wait until 2015. The reason is this year’s planned construction of a

up the new asphalt if Ninth were added to this year’s list. On Monday, the council awarded a construction contract for the trail to Hoggatt Excavating Inc. Funding for the $300,000 pedestrian path includes $206,000 from the Missouri Department of Transportation and a $94,000 local match budgeted earlier from the city’s Capital Improvement Fund. One very poor street that is targeted for asphalting this year is North Walnut, a project that will give motorists a smooth drive from one end of town to the other. South Walnut from Fourth to Lincoln was repaved last year, and completion of several building demolitions on the north end, which created increased truck traffic, means the other half the of street can now be resurfaced. Other paving plans this spring and summer include
a Missouri Department of Transportation project that will lay new asphalt on East First Street between Main and Depot, while redesignating the street as Highway 46. As currently signed, 46 is routed down Third Street east of Main. Additional local MoDOT overlay projects in 2014 include the Highway 71 bypass and an “L”-shaped stretch of road extending east along Route V from Munn Avenue then south down Main Street. Also this week, the council approved a contract for the purchase of a half-acre vacant lot on the northeast corner of Fourth and Buchanan Streets from the Bagby family. McDanel said city ownership of the parcel, which sold for $86,000 plus closing costs, will facilitate planned construction this year of a streetscape, to include new sidewalks, lighting and landscaping, along West Fourth between the downtown square and Northwest Missouri State University. Part of the Bagby property will be incorporated into the streetscape, McDanel said, and much of the rest of the parcel will serve as a staging area during construction. Eventually, he said, the property will likely figure into some sort of economic development effort. This year’s municipal budget includes $50,000 for property acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price, McDanel said, will come from General Fund reserves.

Nodaway-Holt students Shaina Culp, Skyler Heitman, Halle Clement and Chloe Abrams wait to get books signed by children’s author David Harrison at the 46th annual Children’s Literature Festival held at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. Thirty-six students, 16 adult guests and four teachers from Nodaway-Holt traveled to the event on March 17, marking the 16th year Nodaway-Holt students have attended. A nationally regarded writer for children, Harrison’s first book, “The Boy With a Drum,” was released in 1969 and eventually sold over two million copies. In 1972, he received the Christopher Award for “The Book of Giant Stories,” and since then has published 77 original titles that have sold more than fifteen million copies nationwide.

A MINUTE WITH MIKE
Break provides opportunity to inform, receive feedback
The first day of Spring has officially arrived and warmer weather is hopefully on the horizon even as the forecast continues to call for wintry temperatures with the possibility of snow. We can only hope the weather forecasts are as accurate as most NCAA tournament brackets this time of year. The good news is that I have been able to use this time while the legislature is on spring break to visit with the people of the district, as well as with my family and friends. These are valuable moments when I am able to share the details on some of the work we have done in the legislature and receive feedback from the people on other issues they would like to see us address. One of the things that I enjoy immensely is traveling to schools in the district and talking to the fourth grade classes. Fourth grade is when most begin to study about state history and state government making my visits very timely. We not only discuss what a state representative does, but we cover all of the different branches of government, a little about the history of Missouri, the building of the state capitol and the process for passing a bill through the process. Fourth graders are very inquisitive and the question-answer time usually goes to the wire. The fourth grade classes from all of the schools in Nodaway County at-
tend an event called “Missouri Day” that is held in the fall on the campus at Northwest Missouri State University. They have the opportunity there to listen to a variety of speakers and demonstrations relating to Missouri history and culture and I have the opportunity to speak to them also. This gives me time to visit the remaining
Mike Thomson seven schools in Atchison, Holt and Worth counties. I often wish that the average adult would show as much interest in government as I see in these young people who are excited to learn. We cannot be apathetic about our government at any level . With the election season coming up soon, it
is imperative that voters take an interest in the process and support those who they feel would do a good job of representing them. With a week away from Jefferson City and a bright perspective from a large group of 10 year olds, I am ready for the final push to the end of session in May. To date we have passed a number of important bills that are now awaiting discussion in the Senate. Some of these priority items include a tax cut for Missouri businesses and families, several economic development tools to encourage business growth and job creation, medical malpractice reform to keep doctors and other medical professionals in our state, several pro-life bills to protect and preserve the sanctity of all life, and legislation to protect the integrity of the elections process by requiring a photo ID to vote. In addition to these major bills, we also completed committee work on the Fiscal Year 2015 budget. We will work on these bills on the House floor when we return from Spring Break on March 24th. If you have questions, you may reach me at my Capitol number 573751-9465, at the local district number, 660-582-4014, by email at mike. thomson@house.mo.gov or by mail at Room 401B State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101
STRAIGHT TALK FROM SAM
A Washington that Works for You
During my time spent traveling around northern Missouri, there is one thing I continuously hear from constituents: people are frustrated that Washington acts as if it always knows what’s best for them. In the five years since President Obama took office, his administration has taken a historically aggressive approach towards regulating the private sector. Thousands of pages of regulations have been proposed or finalized under the Obama Administration, many of which target the energy sector. These regulations stifle innovation in the industry and increase our reliance on foreign oil. As I always say, America is an energy rich nation that acts like an energy poor nation. At a time when gas prices are again on the rise, these types of regulatory actions out of the White House only make the problem worse – and are a huge drag on our overall economy. For example, last May, the Obama Administration began enforcing a rule that requires farmers and ranchers to
prepare a spill containment plan for oil products stored on their property. The program requires oil storage facilities
Sam Graves with a capacity of more than 1,320 gallons to make costly infrastructure improvements to reduce the possibil-
ity of oil spills. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation would bring more than 70 percent of farms into the regulatory net, costing farmers both time and money to comply. It is yet another example of the overly burdensome regulations we’ve come to expect from the EPA. With this in mind, I helped introduce the Farmers Undertake Environmental Land Stewardship (FUELS) Act. This bill modifies the EPA’s rule by raising its exemption levels for fuel storage capacity to better reflect the spill risk and financial resources of farms. The FUELS Act passed the House with bipartisan support earlier this month. With a common sense approach to regulations, we can avoid placing unneeded burdens on those who drive our nation’s economy while still protecting Americans and our environment. Washington needs to get back to working for Americans, rather than against them.

CAPITOL NEWS Senate backs voting machine changes
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Senate has endorsed legislation that would require local elections authorities to phase out the use of some electronic voting machines. Under the bill, voters could only use electronic machines that produce a paper trail of marked votes. All other types of electronic voting machines currently in use for elections could still be used, but could not be replaced once they malfunction. The legislation given first-round approval Monday also declares the paper ballot as the official ballot of Missouri elections. It needs one more Senate vote before moving to the House. The bill is sponsored by Republican Sen. Brian Nieves, of Washington.
Panel endorses tobacco settlement fix
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri Senate panel has endorsed legislation that seeks to recoup money from a settlement with tobacco companies. Under the settlement, Missouri expected to get $130 million this year. But it will likely get less than half because of an arbitrator’s ruling that state officials failed to diligently enforce the settlement a decade ago. Supporters of the bill endorsed by the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday with a 7-3 vote say it would help Missouri negotiate a smaller loss of settlement funding. Opponents argued the measure isn’t necessary and would hurt smaller tobacco manufacturers. The bill would essentially force a price increase on some cheaper cigarettes that compete with the brands made by big tobacco companies. It is sponsored by committee chairman Kurt Schaefer, of Columbia.
STATE NEWS SLU to study death penalty
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A new research program at Saint Louis University’s law school will analyze Missouri’s administration of the death penalty during the last 25 years, pairing the school with a prominent researcher whose capital punishment reviews in other states found significant procedural flaws. Law students with the Missouri Capital-Sentencing Research Program will review the 72 executions carried out by the state since 1989 as well as the death sentences handed down to 42 additional inmates. Those include Jeffrey Ferguson, who was scheduled to die by lethal injection at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. The state Supreme Court has kept detailed trial court reports from each judge presiding over capital cases since Missouri reinstated the death penalty in 1977. The research effort also will look at several hundred additional cases in which defendants were eligible to receive the death penalty but instead were sentenced to life without parole.

Vocal music director Nic Vasquez is excited about the opportunity for his students to perform under the scrutiny of district judges. “Our kids will perform well, both Saturday and next Thursday,” Vasquez said. “They often seem to wait until districts are almost upon us to really get serious about preparation, but in the end they pull it together and perform very well.” At the vocal solo and ensemble competition Saturday, the following students will perform solos: Cassie
Holtman, Hannah Hall, Maggie Schmidt, Michael Filips, Chase Graves, Amber Perkins, Tessa Graves, Madison Von Behren, Conner Looram, Sarah Smith, Tiena Conover and Chase Mizera. A girls trio, consisting of Tessa Graves, Sarah Smith and Hannah Hall, will compete, as will three ensembles: girls’ eight, boys’ eight and mixed eight. The girls’ eight consists of Sarah Henggeler, Conner Hetzler, Cassie Holtman, Selina Talmadge, Anna Throm, Ali Throm, Madison Von Behren and Jacquelyn Ware. Boys’ eight is made up of Nathaniel Alexander, Michael Filips, Anh Le, Conner Looram, Chase Mizera, Jacob Partridge, Benjamin Smith and B.J. Sudhoff. The mixed eight ensemble consists of Colin Arnold, Tilena Conover, Callie Files, Kelly Filips, Chase Graves, Hanah Kizer, Jessi Madden and Amber Perkins.

Three MHS percussion ensembles will also be competing at the district competition. One ensemble includes Loren Puche, Dakota Shields and Ian Ewing. A second ensemble includes Hannah Scarbrough, Madison Haile and Loren Puche, and the third percussion ensemble includes Kade Allenbrand, Dakota Shields and Joe Suchan. “There are students here by 7 a.m. each morning working on solos, ensembles or other musical pieces,” instrumental music director Burke Shouse said. “All of their hard work has paid great dividends, and I am excited to see how they turn out at our contests. “We have a good chance at taking a number of events to state this year, and our symphonic band is on track to earn a Division 1 rating at contest. Hard work is paying off.”
‘The kids are very excited to perform … They’ve worked all year for this opportunity.’ — Nic Vasquez souri State University. Also competing on that day will be instrumental soloists and ensembles, as well as the MHS band. All instrumental performances will be held in Charles Johnson Theatre on the Northwest campus. Instrumental soloists scheduled to compete at the district competition include clarinet soloists Tyson Jackson and Malyssa Giesken, tuba soloists Amanda Volner and Samantha Curtis, timpani soloists Ian Ewing and Kade Allenbrand, marimba soloists Dakota Shields and Loren Puche, snare drum

Those bringing hazardous waste to the event are urged not to mix materials together and to keep them in the original containers, which display information used by technicians to class wastes for proper disposal. “The average American home accumulates more than 100 pounds of hazardous products by storing it in their basements, closets and garages,” Laderoute said. “The health of our community and the en-
vironment is endangered when these types of products are discarded in storm drains, household garbage or sinks.” During the 2013 collection, Laderoute said,
residents of the five-county region properly disposed of 7.87 tons of hazardous household waste. “Special collections are vital for our region because there is no permanent fa-
cility that handles disposal of household chemicals in Northwest Missouri,” she said. “The closest facility
for residents to properly dispose of household hazardous waste is in Lee’s Summit.”

nation might jumble declarer’s brain, especially if he remembers yesterday’s deal. South is in five diamonds. West leads a low spade. East takes two tricks in the suit, then shifts to a club to North’s queen. How should declarer continue? On the second round of the auction, if NorthSouth use support doubles, South has a perfect hand with exactly threecard heart support. But if North-South do not employ this gadget, South should raise to two hearts. North’s two-spade cuebid is an artificial gameforce, asking South to do something intelligent. Here, South cannot do more than rebid his diamond suit. Then North might jump to four hearts, but let’s suppose he settles his partner into five diamonds. South must draw trumps without loss. In yesterday’s deal, he could afford one loser, so cashed the ace first.
Here, though, he should start with a diamond to his queen. When West’s jack drops, declarer returns to the dummy with a club (or a heart) and plays a diamond to his 10. Then he draws East’s last trump and claims. Note that four hearts can be made. If East starts with three rounds of spades, North does best to discard a diamond from his hand, but here he could ruff. Then declarer, after drawing trumps, makes the same play in the diamond suit.

Maryville wrestling coach steps aside after 40 years By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Maryville High School has had wrestling as a varsity sport for the 50 years and for the last 40, one man has presided over that team. For the 2014-15 season, that’ll change. While Joe Drake is still enjoying coming to practice, he thought 40 years was a nice round number and a good time to step down from a position he has held since 1974-75. “I kind of made up my mind the same way I did with teaching,” Drake said, “I wanted to leave before I hated coming to practice. I’m still enjoying it and I thought 40 years is a nice round number. I didn’t want to get to the point where I regretted going, so I thought now was a good time to bow out. “I guess one of the things I’m probably most proud of is that I stayed a head coach at the same school for 40 years. That’s pretty unusual.” Drake also mixed in some baseball and football during his coaching career, serving as the head baseball coach when Maryville first added the sport and coaching 12-14
years of football, as well while also starting a youth wrestling tournament and the Quad State Classic early in his career. “There’s been some variety there,” Drake said. “The thing is, I loved each one of them, each one of them had their own unique things, but wrestling’s been my love the whole time.” Drake said wrestling gave him a purpose in high school and drew him back to college, so he felt he had to give back to the sport in some way, which led him to coaching. “When I first got out of high school, I had no intentions of going to college,” he said. “My coach encouraged me to go, so I guess I gave in. I sat out a semester then I went back into school and when I first started out, my major was to be an athletic trainer. The closer I got through school, I thought, ‘You know, I really wanna do the coaching thing,’ so I changed my idea of what I wanted to do and got into it. “Wrestling had given me the desire to get through high school, had got me back into college and so then I decided I wanted to See DRAKE, Page 8

Horns look to build off solid 2013 season By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
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. Following an 8-7 finish last year, head coach Aaron Murphy and the South Nodaway Longhorns baseball team looks to improve this season. South Nodaway and Jefferson have agreed to a co-op again this year after team finished second last year in the Class 1 District 16 Tournament, losing to Linn County 2-1 in the championship game. This year, they are looking to take it one step further. “We want to win the conference and win the district championship,” Murphy
said. The team has quite a few members that will make significant impacts on the team, including Jefferson sophomore Bryce Deen, who had a .306 batting average last year. They will also be returning South Nodaway junior Garrett LaMaster to the pitchers mound. The team will be part of the new Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference, which is in its inaugural year. “Being the first year of the Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference, there will be teams competing and striving to prove themselves,” Murphy said. “Our conference should be tough and competitive.” As well as finishing second in last year’s district tournament, the Longhorns also took second place in the Longhorn Invitational. Their first game will be against the North Platte Panthers Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. at the south field at Beal Park in Maryville.

2014 SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW
Stanberry girls track looks to continue success By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
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. Stanberry track coach Shane Hilton and the girls track team sent two relay teams and two individuals to the state track competition last year and are looking to continue that success this spring. “We want to compete for a district title and qualify as many for the state meet as possible,” Hilton said. Last year, senior Jamie Luke qualified
for the state meet in the 3,200-meter run and finished 10th at the competition. Senior Kaleigh Wilmes also qualified for the individual meet in the 400-meter dash. The team returns three of the four members of two state-qualifying relay teams, as well. The 4x800-meter relay team returns Wilmes, Luke and junior Hailey Murphy. The relay team finished 12th at the state meet last year. The 4x400-meter relay team also returns Wilmes, senior Kristin Wilmes and sophomore Savana Wiederholt. At last years state meet, they finished 10th. The Stanberry track season kicks off this week at Worth County High School in Grant City with the first event starting at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

2014 SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW
KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM
The Stanberry Bulldogs return a veteran group to this year’s track team that has experience at the state level in both individual and relay events. Stanberry track coach Shane Hilton wants to use this experience to help propel the team as a whole. “We want to compete for a conference and district title,” Hilton said. Two individuals medaled at the state meet in 2013 will return this year.
Senior Nathan Luke placed fifth in the 400-meter dash, which earned him a place on the medal stand. He also competed in the 200-meter dash at the state meet. Junior Dustin Ellis earned two medals in individual events while competing in the state competition. He earned the top spot in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.28 seconds. He also placed third in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 41.30. Both Luke and Ellis also competed in two relay events at the state meet. In the 4x400-meter relay, they finished sixth in the finals at state. Luke and Ellis, along with junior Nic Shanks, also competed in the 4x200-meter relay, where they finished in sixth place. The first track meet for Stanberry this year will be on Thursday at Worth County High School in Grant City. The first event will begin at 3:30 p.m.
St. Louis hopes to host future Final Four ST. LOUIS (AP) — Basketball fans who flocked to downtown St. Louis over the weekend for early-round NCAA Tournament games could see the city as a future Final Four host. KMOX Radio reports that the St. Louis Sports Commission entertained members of the NCAA men’s basketball committee during second and third round games at Scottrade Center, home of the St. Louis Blues. Commission president Frank Viverito
told the radio station that St. Louis is among eight finalists to host the men’s basketball semifinals and championship games between 2017 and 2020. The official bid is due in early May, with a decision likely by November. The men’s Final Four was held at the Edward Jones Dome, home of the St. Louis Rams, in 2005. The indoor stadium has also hosted NCAA regional finals four times since 2004.

NEN Bluejay track won’t let size keep them from success By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
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 Northeast Nodaway Bluejays track team is gearing up for another year at Ravenwood. Chaim Jenkins, who also coached the boys’ basketball team, will be coaching this year’s track team. The team is small this year, but that’s not going to keep them from competing to the best of their abilities.
“We need to focus on our few events and excel in those,” Jenkins said. The team is returning two sectional qualifiers and a state qualifier to the team this year. Senior Steve Schulte qualified for state last year in the triple jump. The two sectional qualifiers are senior Taryn Farnan and sophomore Jill Spire. Farnan qualified for sectionals in the high jump and Spire qualified in the 100-meter dash. “We have a good group that can really advance in the areas that they work hard in,” Jenkins said. The first track meet for both the boys’ and girls’ track team will be March 27 at Worth County High School in Grant City. Events will get underway at 3:30 p.m.
Continued from Page 7 give back to the sport, and the only way I knew how to was to coach.” And coaching was good to Drake. He amassed a state-record 413 victories, although he said other coaches will soon catch up. “When I first started, the most you were probably getting was 9-10 duals a year,” Drake said. “With the changes, there’ll be a lot of coaches that hit the 400 mark. The thing I like about it, I was the first one to get there. I’m pretty proud of that point that I was the first one to get there.” Drake has also captured 14 Midland Empire Conference championships, 18 district titles and finished in the top 10 at state 14 times, including a second place finish in 1985. “The second place was a great finish that year and some of the other years were almost disappointing because we just didn’t get it done,” he said. “We thought we had the talent, but certain things happened at the state tournament that didn’t allow us to place where we thought we should.” That also taught him that there is a little bit of luck involved in winning a state title. “The second place meant a lot and we were so close to winning it that year,” Drake said. “There were two other years that we were really close. When I was young in coaching, I didn’t think that luck had anything to do with it. I thought if you had the talent and did what you were supposed to do, success would come your way. That proved to me that you had to have some luck. There is some luck to win a state championship.” Drake also coached 215 state qualifiers, 76 state medalists and 15 state champions during his career and said it was due to his wrestlers’ hard work that allowed him to retire as a 13-time District Coach of the Year. “All those accomplishments were because of their success, not mine,” Drake said. “They always came first. Never did I want anything to focus on me. Because of their success, all of these other things were able to happen. It was because of their willingness to work, not that I did anything special.” Drake also coached with one of his sons for 15 years before he became a wrestling
official, officiating matches at the state tournament. Drake’s other son is currently an assistant wrestling coach. “He’s had a great influence on his own boys as well as 100s of others,” Drake’s wife Barb said. Through it all, it was never about wins and losses, Drake was more focused on turning his athletes into good people and citizens. “I said this a long time ago, I really don’t know how good a coach I am,” he said. “Time will be the judge of that, but my goal was to make the kids that I worked with good people. That was my goal always to strive more so than winning matches or whatever, I wanted to stress to them what it took to be good people.” Drake retired from teaching several years ago and now has a farm south of Maryville to help keep him busy, but he said it will be weird not going to practice once winter rolls around again. “The biggest void I’m worried about is, pretty since seventh grade, this is all I’ve known every winter is to go to practice,” he said. “Next winter, it will probably set in a lot more than it has now. I’m going to have to find something to do in the winter time. Just what that’s going to be yet, I don’t know. There’s going to be a definite void to fill because it’s just something that’s always occupied my time every fall and winter, so it will take a little time to get used to.” However, even without Drake’s presence, the Maryville wrestling team is set up to succeed in the future with two state medalists returning next year as well as several talented underclassmen. “That was another reason that kind of prompted me to retire at the time that I did,” Drake said. “I didn’t wanna walk away and say there’s nothing there for the next guy. We’ve got some really talented kids coming on. I think there’ll be some helping coming from the junior high again just like there was this year and so I think the future is bright. I wanted to leave knowing the next person had something to work with right away. He’s not going to have to struggle and scrape around, he’s got some state placers coming back, state qualifiers coming back, so I think the future for Maryville wrestling is good.”

MHS Reader’s Theatre
Members of the 2014 Maryville High School Reader’s Theatre team include, front row from left, Sarah Henggeler and Jackson Zimmerman; middle row from left, Kendra Henggeler, Bailey Schmidt, Breanna Sorensen and Ryan Puche; and back row from left, Logan Nelson, Chris Wilkymacky, Chase Graves, B.J. Sudhoff and Mason Dredge.
Reader’s Theatre is state bound By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Students led by Maryville High School speech and debate coach Trudy Kinman are headed for state competition in reader’s theatre. Reader’s theatre, spelled with an “re,” is a program in which MHS students rehearse and perform a skit or play, reading the script from a printed text. The way the program is structured, the team has only one shot to qualify for state-level competition. “We get props,” freshman Logan Nelson said. “But, the only props we get are boxes, benches and stuff like that. It’s a play that lasts from 25-30 minutes.” This year’s Reader’s Theatre team consists of 11 people. The group competed against seven other teams during the Northwest Missouri State High School Activities Association’s Reader’s Theatre Performance at Liberty North High School on March 14. “One of the biggest things with it is that you have your book with you with the script in front of you,” senior Bailey Schmidt said. “So, you’re basically making the script come to life. In a way, it’s kind of mem-
orized (because you have to know what’s coming to bring the character to life).” “Our (play) is called ‘High School Confidential,’” Schmidt said. “It’s basically about high schoolers on a regular day and how high school basically kind of sucks, and a teenager’s view on high school and how you get through it. “It’s kind of dramatic because we have a (fictional) student who commits suicide over the weekend, so it’s kind of us dealing with our friend’s death.” The group will perform the play again during the state contest, which takes place April 25-26 in Columbia. To qualify, the MHS squad was ranked second by two judges and third by the third judge after performing in Liberty. That was good enough for a second-place finish behind Liberty North High School. “At state, the teams will be divided into two groups,” Kinman said. “The groups will perform all day Friday (April 25), and they’ll take the best two out of Group A and the best two out of Group B. Those four will compete again on the 26th for the grand prize for best reader’s theatre in the state.”
This is the first time a reader’s theatre group advised by Kinman has travelled to the state contest. “I’ve taught school for over 40 years, and I’ve probably done 25 reader’s theatres,” Kinman said. “This is the sixth one I’ve done during this time at Maryville, and it’s the first one to go to state. I really didn’t think it was going to make it. We put it together quickly and didn’t audition it. We did it as a class project, but everybody pulled through when we got down there. It was kind of a nice win. “I think it’s a nice win too because there are freshman and seniors and theater people and very talented people, and some people who probably wouldn’t do it unless they were forced into it.” For some of the students, this is their final shot at state-level competition. “I’ve never gotten to go (to state) so it’s really exciting to have that privilege,” Schmidt said. “I really like to watch other pieces too because you can learn a lot from that, so I’m excited to see the other schools that qualified for state. It’s a cool way to end my senior year with (National Forensics League).”
While some MHS students are ending their high school speech careers, others on the team are just starting out. “I’m excited to have the experience,” Nelson said, “and the fact that I’m a freshman going to state in my first year and all that. This is a great way to start out freshman year by going straight to state, so that will be a great experience.” Both Nelson and Schmidt agreed that their favorite part of reader’s theatre is developing their characters. “My character is definitely not who I am at all, so it’s really fun to try to figure out how that type of person would act,” Schmidt said. Kinman said her favorite part of the experience is watching different students come together to make a winning performance. “Seeing kids of all ages and all talents come together and just do a fantastic performance (is my favorite part),” Kinman said. “We have some students who probably haven’t seen that many plays but suddenly they all get to come together. I like the versatility.” Kinman said the team is planning to take its show on tour to local elementary and middle schools, but that the dates aren’t set yet.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s tax incentive for the renovation of historic buildings is the largest such program in the nation but is inefficient and not adequately overseen, the state auditor said Tuesday. A report from Auditor Tom Schweich said Missouri has paid out $1.1 billion of historic preservation tax credits during the past decade, resulting in average annual rehabilitation expenses that are significantly higher than any of 29 other states with similar programs. Similar efforts have failed in past years as proponents have stressed the benefits of rehabilitating historic buildings and constructing new, affordable housing for lowincome residents. Schweich’s audit acknowledged that the historic preservation tax credit has a laudable goal and “has been a significant factor in
helping rehabilitate hundreds of the state’s historic properties.” Missouri provides tax credits equal to 25 percent of the rehabilitation costs of historic buildings. A 2010 law allows up to $140 million of tax credits to be authorized annually, but smaller projects such as the renovation of many owneroccupied homes don’t count toward that limit. Schweich’s audit said the current annual cap is essentially pointless, because the state has not come close to hitting that mark in recent years. As with the low-income housing tax credit, Schweich said the historic preservation program is inefficient because a substantial amount of the money doesn’t actually go to the renovation of buildings. For every dollar of tax credits, Schweich said between 49 cents and 85 cents goes to rehabilitation costs.
NATIONAL NEWS Arkansas won’t join egg lawsuit
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel says it’s not appropriate for the state to join a Missouri lawsuit that challenges California restrictions on egg production, but he supports the border state’s efforts. McDaniel said Tuesday that California rules that ban importation of eggs from hens kept in cages smaller than a certain size don’t impact Arkansas producers because they already meet the guidelines. But McDaniel says he supports the Missouri lawsuit because one state should not be able to cause harm to another state’s agriculture production. Arkansas produces about 1 billion eggs per year but only a small portion is shipped to California. The attorney general says California’s restrictions appear to violate the Commerce Clause. McDaniel says he may file a friend of the court brief in support of Missouri’s challenge.
Doctor says murder suspect fit for trial
SIDNEY, Mont. (AP) — A state psychiatrist said Tuesday that a Colorado man is competent to stand trial in the murder of an eastern Montana teacher despite his low scores on mental-fitness tests. The testimony in a Sidney, Mont., courtroom from psychiatrist Virginia Hill contrasted sharply with a defense portrayal of Michael Keith Spell, 24, as not fit for trial because he is mentally disabled and unable to understand the case against him. Hill suggested Spell’s low test scores belie his mental competency. She described him mental disability as mild, and said he was observed playing video games, doing his own laundry and manipulating other patients during his two-month stay at Montana State Hospital. “Tests are not X-rays. Tests are not infallible,” Hill said. “I believe actually observing a person’s behavior is far more important and informative than trying to approximate what they know with tests.”
