Fire destroyed a rural home east of Burlington Junction Wednesday evening. The home’s resident, Ronald Marriott, discovered the fire as he returned home from work at about 5:30 p.m. No one was in the home at the time the blaze was discovered and reported. Fire-fighting units from West Nodaway and Clearmont responded to the fire call and Nodaway County ambulance had a unit standing by, as well. By the time units arrived on the scene, the home, located at 23967
170th Street, was completely engulfed in flames and the roof had collapsed. “By the time we arrived, about all we could do was contain the fire within the area of the house,” West Nodaway firefighter/first responder Herb Snodderly said. “There was no chance to save the house or contents.” Units stayed on the scene for about three hours. While the cause of the blaze is yet to be determined, Snodderly said that when Marriott arrived at the house, the fire seemed to be burning hottest in the area where a propane heater was located inside.

Committed quilters
Seven women come every Thursday afternoon to Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church in Maryville to make quilts, including (From left) Pam Myers, Phyllis Abbott, Marcia Droegemueller and Pat Bobzien. Here, the ladies present one of the quilts they worked on for the Lutherans Women’s Missionary Group. Total, they have made 28 quilts, mainly out of scraps. Because they made them out of scraps, there was no out of pocket cost from anyone to make the quilts. They will send the quilts to Lutheran World Relief, a group that sends aid to those around the world that are in need. SUBMITTED PHOTO

CAPITOL NEWS Measure would enshrine parents’ rights
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A proposed amendment to the Missouri Constitution that would enshrine a fundamental right for parents to raise their children as they see fit is pending in the state Senate. The House passed the measure 112-36 on March 13 before the Legislature began a weeklong break. The amendment states that parents have a right to make decisions involving the discipline, education, religious instruction, medical care, housing and “general wellbeing” of their children. Supporters say parents should have constitutional protections when it comes to raising children. If it passes the Senate, the proposed constitutional amendment would go on the November statewide ballot. It is sponsored by Republican Rep. Todd Richardson, of Poplar Bluff.

Bill extends voter registration for military
Quitman, MO
March 24-30 at 7:00 p.m. Speaker: Sylvan Stoltzfus, Cherry Tree, PA
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Some Missouri lawmakers want to make it easier for members of the military to vote when they return from deployments. Missouri now requires people to register about a month in advance to be eligible to vote. The law sets the registration deadline as the fourth Wednesday before an election. But a Senate-passed bill now pending in the House would make an exception for members of the armed forces and their families who have been stationed elsewhere. They would be allowed to register to vote as late as the Friday before an election. The exception also would apply to civilian government employees and their families who are working outside the U.S., and to members of religious or welfare organizations who are assisting service members.

STATE NEWS MU may revise assault reporting rules
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The University of Missouri is considering changes to its employee policy for reporting suspected sexual violence amid a flurry of attention to the issue prompted by a former school swimmer’s suicide. The parents of former Mizzou swimmer Sasha Menu Courey say their daughter killed herself after an alleged off-campus rape by as many as three football players in February 2010. The Columbia Missourian reports that the university has no reporting requirement and offers no training for faculty or staff on how to handle the reporting of possible violations of Title IX, a federal anti-discrimination law covering sexual harassment or violence.

Questions and Answers with Doctor Know
There are questions that puzzle us all. Did humans evolve from apes? Is there life after death? How do you figure slugging percentage? There are answers to all these questions - and I know them. Welcome to the world of Dr. Know, the guy who knows so much, xxx asks him questions. Q. Dear Dr. Know: I heard NASA is planning to send a manned mission to the dark side of the moon. We haven’t been to the moon for more than 30 years. Why do we need to go back, especially to the dark side? A. Well, why did Adam Sandler remake “The Longest Yard?” It all has to do with money. Although a manned mission is an intriguing concept, there’s no reason to tamper with the Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd’s classic 1973 album, featuring stunning vocals by Roger Waters and masterful guitar work by David Gilmour, was on the U.S. charts for more than 566 weeks and has proven as worthy as the Beatles’ White album. With the space program’s deplorable shuttle record and the inability to keep Reptilian space entities from infiltrating our government, NASA has no business revisiting a classic rock album unless their next moon landing hoax needs a soundtrack. Q. Hey, Dr. Know: A professor from U.C. Berkeley released results from his 20-year study of 100 Berkeley children and found selfconfident, resilient kids grew up to be liberals, and wimpier kids grew up to be conservatives. If this is true, what does it say about the current presidential administration? A. Hey, hippie: I love taking a few hits off the ole skull bong before reading any scholarly study by a U.C. Berkeley professor. Right on. I’m familiar with Jason Offutt the study by Professor Jack Block. What the study didn’t address is how many of the “confident” kids got beaten up and stuffed into lockers by the “wimpy” kids they’d later call boss. Block followed these children from preschool to college graduation and found the kids he considered whiny grew up following the rules, and the kids he considered selfconfident grew up to be non-conformists. How I see it is if people from Berkeley, Calif., consider you to be self-confident and resilient, people elsewhere will admire your Long John Silvers uniform. Aaarrgg. Q. Dear Dr. Know: Should I be worried about the environment? Between global warming, pollution and the deforestation, I’m afraid our lack of foresight is going to wreck this planet for generations to come. A. Afraid is the right word. You should be afraid, but not for future generations, you should be afraid right now. Sure the polar ice caps and glaciers are melting at an incredible rate and we’re poisoning our lakes and rivers with toxic waste. But these problems are nothing when it comes to the giant radiation-mutated ants and grasshoppers brought to our attention in the 1950s with movies like “Them!” and “The Beginning of the End.” What people don’t know is that these movies aren’t science fiction films. They are documentaries filmed by people from 2016 who brought them back in time. Those are actual giant grasshoppers attacking Chicago. So what can you do to help solve this giant bug problem? Gen. John T. Short from “The Beginning of the End” gave the solution to Dr. Ed Wainwright, who looks surprisingly like Peter Graves. “You’re a scientist,” the general said. “You know what grasshoppers can do. I’m a soldier, I know what guns can do.” Amen, brother. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
We are a healthy lot
Well, how do you feel today? If you are like most of us here in Nodaway County you are feeling pretty good. How do I know that? I have solid evidence, that’s how. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation working out of the University of Wisconsin has done an annual study for the last five years measuring the health of counties across the country. They gather data on a large variety of areas that impact our overall health and then rank the nation’s county state by state. And guess which county is the healthiest county in Missouri…yep, it’s none other than Nodaway County. That alone should make you feel better. This does not mean that the county ranks number one in all of the categories that the foundation measures; but cumulatively WE ARE NUMBER ONE. Football is not our only good quality. There are five broad categories measured in five or six areas that make up the survey. All five together create an overall measure that the survey calls “Premature Death.” This is defined as the number of potential life lost before age 75 (presumably on the basis of poor health environment). Nodaway County lost in 2009-2012 only 5,091 potential lives per 100,000 population to preventable deaths. Comparison figures for the top 10 percent of counties in the country shows they have a number of 5,317 while Missouri as a whole’s number is 7,827. We rank number one in the state, then. Don’t get cocky though. We do not rank number one in any of the five categories in the study. In “Quality of
Life” we rank 8th. Nodaway has 14% of its people rank as having poor or fair health, the top counties have only 10%; Missouri as a whole 16%. We do well in physical and mental health in comparison, measured in the number of days reported with these prob-
Richard Fulton lems for the last 30 days. For basic “Health Factors” Nodaway ranks 11th in the state. We are not as good in obesity percentage (30%), physical activity (30%), and highway deaths with alcohol involved (34%) compared to the top 10% in the country. We are not so good in sexually transmitted infections either. In this area we have 344 per 100,000 population compared to 123 for the top 10%. Still this is better than the
statewide number of 464. The “Clinical Care” category finds us 11th in the state. Not surprisingly, we are comparatively low on physicians and dentists and especially mental health providers. We do well in diabetic and mammography screenings though. “Social/Economic Factors” finds us ranked 10th in the state. We are good with high school graduation rates (90%) but much too low in those 2544 with some college. There are18% of our children living in poverty and 24% living in single parent households. Better than the state percentage, worse than the top 10%. Violent crime figures are relatively high for healthy counties as well. The last category is “Physicals Environment” and we rank 8th. Air and water pollution is minimal. If you look at severe housing problems we rank with the state at 14%. You will be surprised to learn that the county is low in people who have long communes and drive alone. Go figure. Other counties in our area do much worse than Nodaway. Holt is listed 67th in the state, Worth at 77th, Gentry is better at 26th but Buchanan lingers at 65th. All in all, Nodaway County has a lot to feel good about. Yet, working with the Ministerial Center I suspect that data on hunger in Nodaway County is underreported. Rural households are often difficult to survey. If you want to see all the data you can go to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation site and make your conclusions on particular areas of the healthy environment in any county in the state or nation.
MARYVILLE R-II SCHOOL
My goals for the 2014 school year
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your superintendent. My goals as superintendent are pretty simple. First, I want to make sure our kids are learning. Second, I want to make sure we are partnering with the community. Finally, I want to make sure we are being a good steward of the patrons’ money. This week I want to talk to you about partnering with our school through the upcoming bond issue. Our district will be asking voters to approve a Bond Issue on April 8, 2014 as a no tax increase bond issue. The bond issue will allow the district to address a variety of district facility needs and will not increase your current taxes. Included in this project are several projects of new construction; Performing Arts Center (High School Campus), Auxiliary Gym (High School Campus), and a Kitchen/Cafeteria (Eugene Field Elementary). Additionally, the district will be doing some renovation of existing spaces in this project. We currently owe $10.04 million on our middle school, elementary school and high school building projects completed between 1999 and 2004. This debt is scheduled to be paid off in 2023. With approval of the no tax increase bond issue on April 8th, we would be extending our debt by 11 years with a payoff in 2034. In 1997, the district approved a three phase long range facilities plan. Phase one included a new middle school (completed in 1999). Phase two included renovations at the el-
ementary school (gymnasium added in 1999 and west wing added in 2004) and high school (commons area and science wing attaching technical school completed in 2004). Phase three included a new performing arts center that has yet to be completed.
Larry Linthacum R-II Superintendent In the last two years, we have reevaluated our long range facility plans. As we evaluated these plans, I believe it was important to ask ourselves three primary questions: 1) where have we been? 2) where are we going? 3) how will we get there? These three fundamental questions can shed light and provide direction for our long range facility plans and we believe we are addressing these
identified needs in the upcoming bond issue. The third phase included the performing arts center and we went through an extensive process to determine if this need still exists or whether it is a want. Through a process of surveys, staff meetings, focus groups and town hall meetings, we determined the need still exists to have a performing arts center on the high school campus with additional facility needs at the elementary school and high school. As we evaluate our facility priorities, we must evaluate both our current facilities and past facility projects. This includes evaluating the elementary, middle school and high school campuses that includes the technical school. A decision was made in the last 15 years to spend $3 million for the upgrades and additions at the Eugene Field Elementary School. With this prior financial commitment, we believe we are committed to the Eugene Field Elementary School campus for the future of the elementary school. Won’t you join us in making our school a model school district? As we ask ourselves “where are we going?” and “how will we get there?”, we are asking you to join us in supporting the upcoming no tax increase bond issue as we work together to provide the best education for our kids! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to stop by my office and we can discuss over a cup of coffee!

Praying for better journalism at the New York Times by Terry Mattingly NEW YORK -- It was a perfectly ordinary invitation to gather for Christian fellowship, the kind of message believers often circulate among colleagues that they know share their faith. In this case, Michael Luo invited a circle of fellow journalists in The New York Times newsroom to breakfast, including one former pastor of an evangelical church. Yes, this tiny Times flock plans to gather again. No, the veteran reporter was not willing to name any names. “The Times is like a lot of other elite cultural institutions,” said Luo, speaking at The King’s College in lower Manhattan’s financial district. The newsroom is full of “cosmopolitan, urban types, highly educated people who went to the top colleges whose cultural sensibilities are probably more shaped ... by the Upper West Side and Park Slope, Brooklyn, than, you know, the Bible Belt. “So it’s certainly not the easiest place to say that you’re a Christian. In fact, some of those people at that breakfast who have confided their faith to me have often sworn me to secrecy.” After giving the matter careful thought, Luo did mention his public lecture at the evangelical college -- “Articles of Faith: A Believer’s Journey Through The New York Times” -- on his Facebook page. The Harvard graduate has faced more than his share of tricky situations, whether reporting in war-torn Iraq or in the culture wars of two White House campaigns. After one of his many Times pieces on loopholes in gun-control laws, AmmoLand.com ran his photo with a caption that called him a “biased anti-gun” reporter. During the 2007 Values Voters Summit, Luo tried to assure participants that he was a churchgoer who genuinely wanted to understand their beliefs. One activist then introduced Luo to a prominent conservative Christian by saying, “Don’t worry, he goes to church.” The leader responded, “Well, he’ll have to prove it,” with a snarl. “I was thinking,” Luo recalled, “what am I going to have to do, quote my favorite Bible verses or give him the Four Spiritual Laws?” On the other side of the church aisle are well-meaning Christians who insist that Luo’s goal should be to “bring Christian truth to the pages of the Times.” The implication, he said, is that he should smuggle an evangelical agenda into the “newspaper of record” and let it shape his work. That would be a disaster, Luo said, and would allow other professionals to label him that “Jesus freak guy” or a “religious zealot.” This would destroy whatever trust and respect he has earned during his decade at the Times, which recently led to his appointment as deputy metro editor with much of his work focusing on investigative reporting and, yes, religion coverage. Luo stressed that one of his goals is to live out the recommendations of a 2005 Times self-study -- entitled “Preserving Our Readers’ Trust” -- that urged editors to do more to cover “unorthodox views,” “contrarian opinions” and the lives of those “more radical and more conservative” than those usually found in their newsroom. In addition to seeking diversity of gender, race and ethnicity, the report said: “We should pursue the same diversity in other dimensions of life, and for the same reason -- to ensure that a broad range of viewpoints is at the table when we decide what to write about and how to present it.” It would help, the report noted, if Times editors sought out “talented journalists who happen to have military experience, who know rural America first hand, who are at home in different faiths.” Thus, Luo said he has tried to become a resource to help the newspaper do fair, accurate, informed news coverage of a wider variety of religious believers. The goal is to avoid “loaded language” that frequently confuses “theological terms with political ones.” It also would help, he said, if journalists spent more time covering religion stories rooted in the details of daily life, rather than focusing almost exclusively on political conflicts, both in pews and in public life. “I would argue that when we screw up, it’s not because of some sort of overt prejudice,” he said. “The problem usually is that you can’t know what you don’t know. ... So ignorance can obviously lead to inaccurate and misleading characterizations and, yes, it can lead to bias sometimes seeping into the ways Christians are depicted.” (Terry Mattingly is the director of the Washington Journalism Center at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and leads the GetReligion.org project to study religion and the news.) 111 E.

QUOTABLE “We had three guys returning from last year’s team — one starter — and 23 wins. I’m sure I’ll feel good about that later on, but right now I’m disappointed because I felt like this team could’ve had some great things happen to us this year.”
-Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith
660-562-2424
Mizzou looks to rebuild, again, following NIT exit COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Earnest Ross sat back in his chair and stared at the ceiling of the interview room. Missouri had just lost in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament to Southern Mississippi, and the senior guard started to realize his college career was over. “I had a great time at Missouri,” Ross said as his eyes reddened. “The fans did a great job of bringing me in. Coach (Frank) Haith and the rest of the coaching staff did a great job of coaching me. I had a great time here and wouldn’t want to have spent it anywhere else.” The Auburn transfer combined with junior guards Jabari Brown and Jordan Clarkson to score 70 percent of the Tigers’ points this season. All three might be gone next season as Ross exhausted his eligibility while Brown and Clarkson are both considering entering June’s NBA draft. “I’m not thinking about that right now,” Brown said. Brown led the Southeastern Conference this season with 19.9 points per game while Clarkson ranked seventh with 17.5 points per game. Ross averaged 14. All three stand 6 feet 5 inches tall and would likely play at the shooting guard position professionally despite Clarkson manning the point for Missouri this season. Both Brown and Clarkson also learned of news off the court this season that could impact their de-
cision to leave school early. Their fathers were diagnosed with cancer and only their families know how each player is coping. “There were things within our program, personal things with our players,” Haith said. “When you talk about two guys that lead us, Jabari and Jordan, no one knows what’s going on with those guys personally.” Missouri’s on-court performance seems inconsequential by comparison, but the Tigers (23-12, 9-9) won just half of their final 22 games en route to missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in six years. The team replaced four starters (all but Brown), and would have to plug three more openings should Brown and Clarkson both turn pro. Haith has relied heavily on transfers during his three-year tenure at Missouri, and guard Deuce Bello (Baylor), wing Cameron Biedscheid (Notre Dame) and forward Zach Price (Louisville) all become eligible next season. Haith credited his transfers, including Brown (Oregon) and Clarkson (Tulsa), for stabilizing the program after previous coach Mike Anderson left Haith with no recruits after the 2010-11 season. Haith said the focus now is switching back to incoming freshmen. “I do see us having balance,” he said. “If you don’t do that, you bottom out and then it’s hard to recruit. I think we’ve been able to recruit top players because we have shown

consistency with winning.” Freshman Johnathan Williams III showed the most promise this season, starting every game and averaging 5.8 points and a teamhigh 6.5 rebounds per contest. The 6-foot-9-inch, 223-pound forward got pushed around at times underneath the basket, though, because of his lanky frame. Wes Clark played 20.4 minutes and averaged 4.1 points per game backing up Clarkson and could start next year at point guard as a sophomore. His assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.32 bested Clarkson’s 1.27, but still fell well short of Phil Pressey’s 2 last year. As a team, Missouri dished out just 355 assists compared to 442 turnovers, the first time its assistto-turnover ratio fell below 1 since the team went 12-16 in 2005-06 season and fired coach Quin Snyder. To make it back to the NCAA tournament, Missouri must improve its ball-handling and find scorers to replace Ross and potentially Brown and Clarkson. Who those scorers will be remains to be seen, but Haith hopes to avoid a repeat of this season. “We had three guys returning from last year’s team — one starter — and 23 wins,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll feel good about that later on, but right now I’m disappointed because I felt like this team could’ve had some great things happen to us this year.”

NFL to try PATs Union ruling comes at bad time for NCAA from 20 during preseason games By TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Writer
By BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The NFL will experiment with extra-point kicks from the 20-yard line for two weeks in the preseason this summer, but implementing longer PATs for the regular season has been tabled. Team owners preferred to see how the longer extra points work in the first two weeks of exhibition games before making any decisions on a permanent switch. On Wednesday, the owners also rejected proposals to move kickoffs to the 40-yard line and to allow more than one player to be placed on injured reserve then return to the roster during the season. Also rejected: subjecting personal foul penalties to video review; permitting coaches to challenge any officiating decision except on scoring plays or turnovers, which automatically are reviewed; and eliminating the first preseason cutdown to 75 players. Adopted on the final day of the spring meetings were proposals to extend the length of the goalposts five-feet to 35-feet to better determine if kicks are good; to no longer stop the clock on sacks; and to allow video reviews on plays with a recovery of a loose ball on the field even though the play had been whistled dead. On Tuesday, the owners approved allowing referees to consult with the officiating department in New York on replay challenges and voted to ban rolling up on the side of the legs of a defender. The league also barred players from dunking the ball over the crossbar in celebration. As expected, no vote was taken on expanding the playoffs, although the topic was discussed. Tabled were proposals to raise the number of active players for games not played on a Sunday or Monday, except for opening week, from 46 to 49; raise the practice squad maximum from eight to 10 players; eliminate overtime in preseason games; allow trades after the Super Bowl and before the new league year begins in March; permit teams to test at their facilities 10 players who attended the NFL combine; place fixed cameras on the goal lines, sidelines and end lines to aid replay reviews; and call pass interference in the area one-yard or less from the line of scrimmage, where it does not apply now. Many of the tabled items could be reintroduced at the owner’s May meetings in Atlanta.

They’re battling in courtrooms, and could one day meet over a bargaining table. About the only things the two sides in the debate over big-time college athletics agree on is that things are changing. Schools bringing in hundreds of millions in television contracts. Coaches making kind of salaries that the late UCLA legend John Wooden wouldn’t recognize. Athletes insisting on rights, if not outright cash. And now a union for football players at Northwestern that would previously have been unthinkable in college sports. A ruling that the Northwestern football team can bargain with the school as employees represented by a union may not by itself change the way amateur sports operate. But it figures to put more pressure on the NCAA and the major conferences to give something back to the players to justify the billions of dollars the players bring in — and never see. “While improvements need to be made, we do not need to completely throw away a system that has helped literally millions of students over the past decade alone attend college,” the NCAA said in a statement. There’s huge money at stake — nearly $18 billion alone just in television rights for the NCAA basketball tournament and bowl games. Already fighting a flurry of antitrust lawsuits challenging its control of college athletics, the NCAA can’t afford too many more defeats. “This is a colossal victory for student athletes coming on the heels of their recent victories,” said Marc Edelman, an associate professor of law at City University of New York who specializes in sports and antitrust law. “It seems not only the tide of public sentiment but also the tide of legal rulings has finally turned in the direction of college athletes and against the NCAA.” For the NCAA, the timing of a National Labor Relations Board opinion allowing a union at Northwestern couldn’t have been worse. In the middle of a tournament that earns schools close to $1 billion a year, it is being taken to task not only for not paying players, but for not ensuring their health and future welfare.
Add in revelations like Florida coach Billy Donovan’s new $3.7 million-peryear contract and the $18,000 bonus that Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith got for one of the school’s wrestlers winning an NCAA title, and some are frustrated with the NCAA’s contention that everything it does is done for the benefit of athletes who play for the glory of their school. “Fifty years ago the NCAA invented the term student-athlete to try and make sure this day never came,” said former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma, the designated president of Northwestern’s would-be football players’ union. “Northwestern players who stood up for their rights took a giant step for justice. It’s going to set a precedent for college players across the nation to do the same.” The players currently at Northwestern may have already graduated by the time the team gets a chance to bargain — if it ever does. According to federal law, Northwestern football players have 30 days from Wednesday’s decision to vote on whether to formally authorize the College Athletes Players Association, or CAPA, to represent them. But Northwestern is expected to appeal the landmark ruling to the National Labor Relations Board by the April 9 deadline, potentially stalling the union vote. The NCAA is also likely to continue to fight the description of college athletes as employees. “We frequently hear from studentathletes, across all sports, that they participate to enhance their overall college experience and for the love of their sport, not to be paid,” the NCAA said in a statement. It was that love of the sport that drew outgoing Wildcats quarterback Kain Colter — as well as a scholarship worth up to about $75,000 annually. But Colter, backed by lawyers with the United Steelworkers union, began the union push after growing disenchanted with the time demands placed on him in football that forced him to drop his plans to go to medical school. Colter also worried about the longterm health risks of football long after players have left school. Players have said they want more research into concussions and other traumatic injuries and insurance and guarantees that they will be covered for medical issues later in life. They
also want money for continuing education and for schools to offer four-year scholarship deals instead of year-toyear pacts. “If we are making sacrifices like we are, we should have these basic protections taken care of,” Colter told ESPN. “With the sacrifices we make athletically, medically and with our bodies, we need to be taken care of.” One day that could mean money, over and above the $2,000 extra annual stipend that NCAA president Mark Emmert proposed but failed to get implemented over the objections of small-budget schools. There’s plenty to go around, with a $10.6 billion contract for television rights to the NCAA basketball tournament and a recent $7.2 billion deal for football bowl games. The NLRB ruling described how the life of a Northwestern football player is far more regimented than that of a typical student, down to requirements about what they can eat and whether they can live off campus or purchase a car. At times, players put 50 or 60 hours a week into football, the ruling said, qualifying them to be treated as employees of the university and eligible for a union. By itself, the ruling could be little more than an irritant to private universities and the NCAA. But combined with the antitrust lawsuits — one filed just last week by a prominent attorney called the organization an “unlawful cartel” — they present a clear challenge to the unique way college sports operates. The model of coaches and administrators making millions while the athletes providing the labor are paid in room and board and books is one that could be difficult to defend in court. One of those suits, filed by former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon, is scheduled for trial June 9 in California and is being carefully watched by those on both sides of the issue. O’Bannon, who led his team to the national championship in 1995, sued after seeing his likeness in a video game licensed by the NCAA without his permission. “It’s never been about monetary gain,” O’Bannon told The Associated Press earlier this week. “It’s all about changing the rules and making sure the players, both present and former, are represented as well.”

Past difficulties will give way to growth and achievement this year. You will discover a solution to an obstacle that has been standing in your way. The encouragement and support you receive from peers will inspire you to make the most of every opportunity. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will not be taken seriously if you don’t finish what you start. Fulfill your commitments to the best of your ability. Show everyone where you stand and what your capabilities are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Love is on the rise. The more activities you are involved in, the more opportunities will come your way. Don’t let another’s opinions or fears stand in the way of your progress. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Remain consistent today. The people who can offer you the most will be impressed by your stability. Your endurance and stamina will pay off, resulting in offers you cannot refuse. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Add a spark of excitement to your relationships by making special plans. An unexpected trip will lead to a new adventure and greater opportunities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Invest in your future, not someone else’s. Do a thorough check of your paperwork to make sure that you’re getting the full value from any contracts or financial arrangements you have pending. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A poorly thought-out change will cause
a major disruption in your personal life. You can avoid arguments by staying relaxed and rational. Take a deep breath before you share your feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Plan to keep improving. Your best efforts will yield the most rewards. Laziness on your part will erase any chance you have to get ahead. Meet your responsibilities head-on. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Explore a creative move that will increase your freedom and help you pursue your goals. Keep tension to a minimum by walking away from an argument. Update your appearance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t let a personal problem distract you from completing a job. Your reputation may be at stake if someone questions your actions. Ensure honesty in all your dealings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Be practical in your approach to your financial future. Get in touch with an old friend who can provide you with valuable advice. Moderation will help you get ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -An unexpected financial gain could be imminent. Generosity will be your downfall. You can’t buy love. A fair and practical approach will be required for progress. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Tensions will multiply if you are oblivious to other people’s feelings. An agreement is possible, but you must be willing to compromise. A heavy-handed approach will make matters worse.
Dr. Stuart Brown and Christopher Vaughan said, “The genius of play is that, in playing, we create imaginative new cognitive combinations. And in creating those novel combinations, we find what works.” Early in our bridge careers, we meet novel suit combinations and try to work out what to do. Then we hope to remember them for the future. Sometimes, though, we cannot take a suit combination in isolation; we must be influenced by the full deal. In this example, how should South play the diamond suit for four tricks in isolation, and how within the context of trying to make three no-trump? South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club. Assuming he can get a fourth diamond winner, he needs one more trick from somewhere. Even if the hearts are 3-3, perhaps there won’t be time to establish the extra trick. The defenders might first take two hearts and three spades. Instead, declarer should go for two club tricks by taking a pair of finesses through East. However, that requires reaching dummy twice, which can happen only in diamonds. Taking diamonds in isolation, South would cash his king, then cross to dummy’s ace, in case East has jack-fourth. But not here; declarer needs diamonds 3-2. He cashes his king and queen, overtakes his 10 with dummy’s ace, and plays a club to his jack. It loses, but he wins the next spade, leads his diamond four to dummy’s eight, takes a second club finesse, and claims nine tricks.

This May, Maryville will be visited by a recent sensation that is on a mission to sing The National Anthem in all 50 states. Janine Stange, known as National Anthem Girl, will be scratching Missouri off her list at the Maryville Concert Series, hosted by Nodaway Broadcasting and Mozingo Recreation Area. The performance will take place on the point at Mozingo Lake on May 24. Stange’s rendition of The Star Spangled Banner will be the opener for local recording artist Mitch Gallagher. “We called and were looking for events in (northern Missouri),” Stange said. “It kind of helps a little bit when the states are close together and they have events close by.” Stange will be in the area on May 22 in Clarinda, Iowa and on May 23 in Omaha. On September 14, the National Anthem will turn 200 years old. Stange hopes that she will have traveled to all 50 states by the time
the song’s birthday comes around. “For a few years, I’ve been on a mission to sing the Anthem in all 50 states,” Stange said. “But I really decided I needed to do it before the Anthem turns 200 just because I really feel it will build awareness about how important the song is.” Stange has always loved singing the song and has always wanted to be able to help people with her “God given gift” of singing, she said. “I was already singing it before I started the organization,” Stange said. “I would look out at the crowd of sometimes 30 or 40,000 people and would think if I could attach a good cause to this then I could make a positive impact. I decided that people, even those in generations to come, need to know how important the song is.” She started the non-profit organization National Anthem Girl in order to show her respect for the song and to show that she realizes what it means to the country as a whole. She stressed that she is touring the country to raise awareness about the importance of the song. At the events where Stange sings, she sets up tables not only for people to come meet her, but to write thank you notes to troops around the world. “The really cool feature about this is that whenever I sing at these events, I have a table set up where people can write thank you notes
that go directly into an Operation Gratitude care package,” Stange said. “Operation Gratitude has sent over a million care packages to deployed troops as well as veterans.” Stange says that she encourages people to write from their hearts when they are writing the thank you notes. “I love what happens at those tables,” Stange said. “Even more important than singing for all the people, those one-on-one experiences are what can change things.” The name National Anthem Girl is the name of both the non-profit organization and the name that Stange goes by when singing at her events. “The funny story is that I was going to (Qualcomm Stadium) in San Diego and there was a huge line of people and I needed to be in the field within 10 minutes,” Stange said. “So I ran up to the gate keeper and I said ‘You have to let me in, I’m the national anthem girl!’ and he did so I guess I was pretty convincing.” Once she got on the field, she decided that she thought it was a pretty cool name and it stuck. Before she even knew what she was going to do with the name, she trademarked it. In order to help out Stange and her travels across the country, people can visit www.nationalanthemgirl. org to donate and assist in her travel expenses and to her cause.
