One injured in 148 crash By TONY BROWN News editor
PHIL COBB/DAILY FORUM
A close call
A Nodaway County sheriff’s deputy walks across rubble-strewn Highway 148 north of Maryville at 200th Street Wednesday following a three-vehicle collision involving an 18-wheeler, an SUV and a pickup truck.
An elderly Hopkins woman suffered moderate injuries late Wednesday afternoon in a three-car collision involving an 18-wheeler at 220th Street and Highway 148 three miles north of Maryville. According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report, a 2012 Nissan Murano driven by Donna S. Nelson, 67, Ravenwood, was traveling westbound at a speed “too fast for conditions” as Nelson attempted to turn south onto Highway 148, striking a 2006 Freightliner tractortrailer driven by Michael B. Parkhurst, 52, Eagleville. Parkhurst was southbound on the two-lane highway when the Nelson vehicle struck the big rig on the passenger side, according to the patrol. A third vehicle, a 2008 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Lola M. Steeve, 79, Hopkins, was northbound at
the time of the collision, and in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid the wreck struck the passenger side of Nelson’s Murano. The pickup was forced off the highway and came to rest on the east side of the pavement, while the Murano careened off the snow-covered west shoulder, landing in a ditch. Parkhurst was able to bring the 18-wheeler to a controlled stop at the side of the road. Steeve, who like the other drivers was wearing a seat belt, was taken by Nodaway County ambulance to St. Francis Hospital. No one else was hurt. Both the Nissan and Chevrolet were described as totaled. The 18-wheel tanker truck sustained minor damage and was driven from the scene. Patrol Cpl. Scott E. Pritzel was assisted in working the accident by the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department and local fire and rescue personnel.

First lady Jacqueline Kennedy (Kirsten Imry) shares facts about her life with school volunteer Cindy Bliley and a group of second-graders at the annual Presidential Showcase at St. Gregory’s School.
St. Gregory’s Presidential Showcase back By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Thirteen fifth-graders from Betsy Nielsen’s social studies class carried on an annual tradition at St. Gregory’s School Thursday by participating in the Presidential Showcase. Each student selected a president or first lady and researched facts about the life and times of the person they selected in the cross-curricular activity. “We spent about two weeks preparing for the event,” See PRESIDENTIAL Page 3
Lee Coats is an artist. She’s always been an artist, and she knew from girlhood that she could do things with a brush or a pencil or a crayon that other people simply could not. “I did the best Mayflower in the fourth grade,” she said of a long-ago Thanksgiving art assignment tackled while she was growing up, the daughter of an architect, in Omaha, Neb. And it wasn’t too many years after rendering the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America that Coats decided to begin a voyage of her own, a journey that took her first to the University of NebraskaOmaha, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art, and then on to UN’s Lincoln campus, where she completed her MFA. The next stop for the young painter was New York City, where she spent a couple of years working at a small advertising agency before ultimately ending up in Kansas City as a designer for Hallmark. Coats spent a total of 14 years creating images for the iconic Missouri greeting card company before fate intervened and brought the university-trained painter and self-described urbanite to rural northwest Missouri. Ready for something new, Coats applied for the

CAPITOL NEWS Panel advances juvenile sentence bill
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri Senate panel has endorsed legislation that would change how the state sentences juveniles convicted of first-degree murder. Current law only allows juveniles to serve life sentences without the possibility of parole — a punishment deemed inappropriate by the U.S. Supreme Court. The measure adopted by the Senate judiciary committee on Wednesday would allow those older than 16 to serve life without parole or a 50-year minimum sentence. Offenders younger than 16 could also spend their lives behind bars or be eligible for parole after 35 years. In 2012, the high court said states can’t automatically impose life without parole sentences for juveniles. It said states must account for differences between juveniles and adults when sentencing them for murder.
More states challenge California egg law
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Five other states are joining Missouri’s fight against a California egg law regulating the living conditions of chickens. Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster last month filed a lawsuit against the measure set to take effect next year. It bars the sale of eggs produced by hens kept in cages that don’t meet California’s size and space requirements. The state attorneys general contend the California law violates the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution by effectively imposing new requirements on out-of-state farmers. The five other states joining Thursday are Nebraska, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Iowa. Those states and Missouri produce 20 billion eggs per year, and 10 percent of that production is sold in California. The Humane Society of the United States criticized the lawsuit, saying it wastes taxpayer dollars.
STATE & NATIONAL Man gets prison term for stealing ice cream
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis-area man has been sentenced to six years in prison for breaking into a church freezer and stealing ice cream. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 25-yearold Andrew Steven Jung of St. Charles was sentenced Wednesday. The crime happened in March 2013 at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in St. Charles. Investigators responding to a break-in found a freezer had been damaged and ice cream had been taken. Jung was spotted walking about three blocks away — intoxicated and with ice cream on his face and clothes. Police say he told them in a videotaped interview that he was an “ice cream junkie.” Jung pleaded guilty Wednesday to burglary. Prosecutors agreed to drop other charges.
Officers seek clues in baby’s death
WARRENSBURG, Mo. (AP) — Warrensburg police are asking the public for information on any woman who was close to delivering a child in February or March, and any suspicious circumstances surrounding the birth. The requested information is part of an investigation into the death of an infant whose body was found Tuesday in a research cave near the University of Central Missouri campus in Warrensburg. Authorities said in a news release Thursday the child was white but did not release its sex. Two college biology students who were studying snakes in the cave found the body inside the cave at Pertle Springs, a public recreation area owned by the university. The decomposing body was left in a pile of trash.
School district, officials dropped from lawsuit
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Jefferson City school district and two high school administrators have been dropped from a lawsuit filed over a relationship between a teacher and a former student. U.S. District Judge Nanette Laughrey on Tuesday dismissed the parties from the lawsuit, which was filed last July on behalf of a May 2013 graduate of Jefferson City High School. The Jefferson City News-Tribune reports the student, identified only as Jane Doe, accused the district and two administrators of not doing enough to stop former band teacher Christopher Knehans from having a relationship with her. Knehans pleaded guilty in 2012 to two felony counts of sexual contact with a student. He was sentenced to 60 days on one count and three years’ supervised probation on the other, with both sentences suspended.
General pleads guilty
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — An Army general accused of sexual assault is pleading guilty to three lesser charges, but maintains his innocence on five remaining counts. Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair pleaded Thursday in a military courtroom at Fort Bragg. His primary accuser is a female captain who claims Sinclair twice forced her to perform oral sex and threatened to kill her family if she told anyone about their three-year affair. Sinclair is admitting to having improper relationships.

All the presidents …
Fifth-graders at St. Gregory’s School who participated in the annual Presidential Showcase Thursday show off their costumes. Shown front row, left to right, are Cassidy Spire (Letitia Taylor), Jordan Spire (Bess Truman), Kaitlyn Vaught (Eleanor Roosevelt), Abbie Farris (Abigail Adams), Fritz Lager (John F. Kennedy), Jake Ginther (George Washington) and Dylan Swaney (George H. Bush). Shown back row, left to right, are Kirsten Imry (Jacqueline Kennedy), Ashlyn Alexander (Rosalynn Carter), Tori Allen (Michelle Obama), Tyler Burke (Bill Clinton), Aiden Stone (Barack Obama) and Gunnar Grispino (Ulysses Grant).
Presidential Showcase returns Continued from Page 1 Nielson said. “Each student did research about their chosen president or first lady. They then did a portrait of the person they selected and prepared a list of facts.” In addition to the research, students dressed in clothing that would have been typical for the former White House occupant they
chose to depict. “We gave the parents a couple of weeks notice on the outfits,” Nielson said. “That gave them time to help their child put together an outfit and find the clothing necessary to do so.” The 13 dignitaries were located around the room in an “interactive” display. Each character stood in
front of his or her “official” portrait and fact sheet. Each also had a “button” that could be pushed, signaling them to recite additional facts and points of interest. “The kids really rose to the occasion,” Nielson said. “They’ve been very excited about this.” Thursday’s event marked the sixth Presidential Show-
case held at St. Gregory’s. The event was the brainchild of former fifth-grade teacher Jenni Halley. “I also teach sixth- and seventh-graders,” Nielson said, “and they’ve had fun reminiscing about their Presidential Showcase days. They remember who they researched and the facts they learned.”
Fire ravages east side of Gallatin square GALLATIN, Mo. (AP) — A fire destroyed three businesses on the square in the small northwest Missouri town of Gallatin. The blaze, which was reported Wednesday afternoon, destroyed an insurance agency, a beauty salon and a flower shop.
Officials say no injuries were reported. The cause of the blaze is under investigation. KMBC-TV reported that many people in the town of about 1,800 people were saddened by the fire. Resident Dorothy Kingsley said residents struggle to
keep the small town alive, and that losing buildings which housed businesses in the community’s commercial core will hurt. According to the Gallatin North Missourian, the fire broke out on the east side of the square at a Shelter Insurance office. Fire de-
partments from Jameson, Jamesport, the Kaw Fire District, Cameron, Hamilton, Pattonsburg and Coffey sent units to assist local firefighters. Gallatin, the Daviess County seat, is located on Highway 6 about 20 minutes east of Interstate 35.

GUEST OPINION
Criminal Code revision good for Missouri
For the past eight years, Missouri’s prosecutors have been leaders in the effort to revise the Criminal Code. In recent years, we partnered with the Missouri Bar to tackle the revision of the Criminal Code because we know it is the right thing to do. The Criminal Code Revision that is currently being debated in the General Assembly modernizes antiquated statutes, harmonizes numerous duplicitous provisions, and gives us an important new tool in the form of a fifth felony class. I, along with my fellow Missouri prosecutors, endorse this revision because it promotes public safety. Take the following examples. It has the strongest approach to assault crimes ever seen in Missouri’s history. Those who commit violent felonies will have their punishments increase on their second offense, not their third offense as in current law. Habitual drunk drivers will be treated as dangerous felons and will have to serve 85 percent of their time in prison before being eligible for parole. Currently, a drunk driver who kills his passenger Robert Rice in a crash can receive no more than seven years in prison. This revision will allow that same drunk driver to spend a decade behind bars. Missouri’s laws relating to child sex abuse are strengthened and will give us more tools to put child molesters in prison. Missouri’s prosecutors are unified in our support for this bill as a package because we know that it strikes the right balance between violent and non-violent offenses. We continue to stand by this endorsement. The House and Senate versions differ in some respects on drug crimes, but there is no decriminalization of drug offenses. As prosecutors, we believe both versions maintain and promote public safety and accountability with respect to drug crimes. This project has been thoroughly vetted, perhaps more than any other single piece of legislation. For four years, a team of veteran prosecutors and defense attorneys labored line-by-line over the entire body of Missouri’s criminal law and crafted a draft based upon consensus and practical application to modern reality in the criminal justice system. The draft was reviewed and endorsed by the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, the Missouri Bar, and Missouri’s crime victims groups. Throughout the summer and fall of 2012, a special joint interim committee conducted public hearings on the draft. During the 2013 legislative session, Sen. Jolie Justus and Rep. Stan Cox each filed versions in the two chambers of the Missouri General Assembly. Each bill was again the subject of new public hearings in the judiciary committees of each chamber. In an overwhelming show of bi-partisan support, the House of Representatives passed its version last year by a vote of 150-7. This past fall, the Senate Judiciary Committee held yet another interim hearing on the bill. Thus far in 2014, the drafts have again each received new hearings in the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. Both committees have voted the versions out and they are now poised for debate on the floor of each chamber. Twenty-five public hearings have been held on the Criminal Code Revision in the Missouri Legislature. Prosecutors, the Missouri Bar, public defenders and victim advocates have testified in support of this bill numerous times. It is safe to say that no other piece of legislation in recent memory has been so thoroughly vetted by the General Assembly. Chief Justice Mary Rhodes Russell of the Missouri Supreme Court encouraged the General Assembly to tackle this project in her recent State of the Judiciary Address. Without doubt, the size of the bill is daunting. That’s why the legislature has correctly taken the measured approach of numerous hearings and two sessions to consider the matter. However, the time has come to pass the bill. When legislators consider the bill, they should consider the confidence a majority of their colleagues and their elected prosecutors have placed in the original drafting process and the legislative vetting process. This Revision gives us the tools we need to keep violent criminals off the street longer, and to allow us to be more efficient with respect to true non-violent offenses. The bottom line is that Missouri’s prosecutors stand by this revision. On behalf of Missouri citizens, Missouri’s prosecutors need this revision. Those who would stand with us in protecting the public and seeking justice should support this revision. I encourage everybody to contact her or his State Legislators and ask them to pass House Bill 1371 to revise Missouri’s Criminal Code.

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
Historically complex Ukraine creating equally complex time
What are we to think about the Russian incursion into Ukraine? It certainly has become the most dangerous international conflict of interests since the end of the Cold War. Yet we should not panic since no one, including President Putin of Russia and the Western powers, wants military confrontation. Ukraine is a complex country with a complex history, much of it connected to Russia. At least half of its people are Russian speakers and feel themselves ethnic Russians. That does not mean that most do not see themselves as Ukrainians, it just means that they find themselves torn between heritage and modern identity. Putin sees the Russians in Ukraine as part of a “greater Russia.” He is a Slavophile; that is, he is from that vein of Russians and Russian leaders who are anchored in the historic realm of Slavic perceptions of the world. Remember, Russia came to the modern world late in relation to Western Europe. It missed the renaissance and the reformation that help mold Western ideas of the individual and the state. Russia came late to the industrial revolution and still lags behind the economics of the Western states. All this left Russians and their leaders split between “modernizers” and those with the more isolationist and suspicious Slavic outlook towards the West and its ideas. It’s Stalin versus Yeltsin, if you will. Putin wants to protect the Russian borders from Western intrusion. The empire is gone, but the Russian people still belong to Russia; and that partic-
ularly pertains to Ukraine, which was called Little Russia during the empirical phases of Russian history. So what is Putin up to? He wants to connect the Ukrainian Russians
Richard Fulton more closely to the Russian state, he sees them as his own. And so he was coming close to cementing close relations with Ukraine by making a deal with its former president Viktor Yanukovych to tie Ukrainian economy to Russia. Earlier, Yanukovych had pledged to make an agreement with the European Union for closer economic ties that would move Ukraine closer to EU membership. Instead, Putin brought him in and bribed him with Russian aide, and perhaps a threat of more ag-
gressive actions, and Yanukovych reversed himself and Ukrainian policy overnight. This, of course, brought the revolutionary actions that brought Yankovych down. Russia now recognizes him as the only legitimate leader of Ukraine and the excuse for sending troops into Crimea. Besides the ethnic connection, Russia has for some time seen the Black Sea as a Russian sea. It has significant navel bases there. He feared the Ukrainian move towards the EU because this could lead, as it has for Poland, to membership in NATO. This would place Western states in a position to be on Russia’s underbelly. Putin does not want military confrontation. He will use his occupation of Crimea to get concessions. This may well take the form of a referendum in Crimea on creating a semiautonomous province with its own leadership, but still formally part of Ukraine. In the meantime the West, Obama particularly, will give significant financial aid to the rest of Ukraine to shore up a “unity” government and get assurances of its independence. All this, of course, is speculation early in the week when this is written. This is not unlike the situation during the Reagan years when he invaded Grenada because he saw its government as communist. He protected America’s sphere of influence. Putin sees Ukraine as Russia’s sphere of influence and thought it becoming a danger. Reagan got away with little international push back, Putin may not be so lucky.

‘School of Practical Physics’ has lessons to teach 20-somethings
Frost covered the windows of my 1992 Toyota pickup. I could see that through the front window of my house. Being an early 21st century man, I went to my laptop in a warm and cozy house and looked up the temperature on the Internet. Weather. com said my town was 20 degrees. That’s cold. I didn’t need exposure to the environment to convince me. Darned if I didn’t have to go outside anyway. I pulled on my pea coat, a present from a college friend during his Navy days. If you’ve never worn a pea coat, they were built for the Rebel Alliance on the ice planet Hoth. You will never get cold in one. Ever. I put on a scarf and cap anyway and went outside to battle frost. “Good morning,” a 20-something across the street said. As I opened the door to the truck, I noticed something odd about the kid using a plastic cup to scrape frost off the cracked windshield of his car. He was wearing shorts. “Um, not sure you noticed this, but it’s below freezing,” I said across the cold asphalt. He looked at me like I’d said something in Latin, or Klingon, before he waved and hopped onto a driver’s seat that was probably as comfortable as a plate of cold cuts, and drove off. I started the truck, turned on the defroster and went back inside where it was warm. Much like venereal disease, Third
World dictatorships and the crop circles, the fact that this kid didn’t know 20 degrees meant he should wear pants probably had something to do with how we educate our children.
Jason Offutt According to our culture’s current educational structure, it’s the public school system’s job to teach our future doctors, bankers and Subway sandwich artists about the rules of life before sending them off to college, where they’ll eventually drink too much beer and throw up in a stranger’s lap.
Once they get to college, all bets are off. They need a different kind of education, like the kind you get at Offutt’s School of Practical Physics. Here are two simple lessons: • The fact that my neighbor was wearing shorts in the cold probably meant he was confused about Frost Point Temperature, which is when water in the air sublimates to a surface, such as a windshield. Maybe he just didn’t know what sublimates meant. • Occam’s Razor states that when two hypotheses make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is better. Hypothesis One: The oven is set to 400 degrees so the pizza I just cooked is probably hot. Hypothesis Two: The oven’s set to 400 degrees, but in order to properly determine the temperature of the pizza, I’ll stick a slice in my mouth. I’d go with Hypothesis One; the kid across the street is probably a Hypothesis Two kind of guy. In my ongoing effort to simplify everyone’s life, I’ll simplify matters even more: the answer to 43 Down on The New York Times Thursday crossword is “peat.” That’s all you’ll ever need to know. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

FROM THE PULPIT
Fostering habits of stewardship in your children
Just as the stewardship way of life can be fulfilling and joyful for adults, it is also important for young people to learn that God has greatly blessed them, and He expects them to share their blessings. More than ever, our children are immersed in a culture that commands they have only the best of the best. The constant battle with materialism is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept that our children will fall victim to an ungrateful life driven by greed, gluttony and selfishness. When we provide them with stewardship opportunities at a young age, it more easily becomes a way of life. We see in John 6:5-11 when Jesus was preaching with his disciples when they could find enough food to feed the crowd of 5,000. Philip replied that even 200 days’ wages would not be enough to give each of them even just a bite. Andrew then said, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?” The young boy’s gift was somewhat dismissed as unnecessary or not good enough. But Jesus took his gift of loaves and fishes, gave thanks, and gave the crowd as much as they wanted. The young boy’s gift was enough for Jesus. While those on the receiving end of your child’s gifts will be grateful for things like canned goods for the food pantry, cards for the nursing home residents, and prayers for Grandma, teaching your children a stewardship way of life has other benefits, as outlined by the Archdiocese of St. Louis: Stewardship can build self-esteem. With the constant barrage of advertisements, children are inundated with the message that they must own certain products or the latest gadgets to be accepted by their peers. Children need to hear that God has already blessed them with many gifts and talents, even enough to share with others. Stewardship can make children happier. Many of today’s youth are developing a sense of entitlement, which can lead to disappointment and frustration with life. Stewardship promotes an attitude of gratitude. Experts note that most attitudes about sharing are formed between the ages of six and ten. Children will either decide that the world owes them and they don’t have enough, or that they have been blessed and are willing to share. Stewardship teaches us to be grateful for the gifts entrusted to us. Stewardship helps children set priorities. Children need to learn the difference between needs and wants. As my four year-old niece sat on my lap and browsed through a Christmas catalog, she pointed out many wants. My sister-in-law asked her if she needed it or wanted it. Katie sweetly replied that she was pretty sure she needed each of those things, and proceeded to need most everything else in the catalog. Stewardship helps children learn the difference between needs and wants, and to make sharing their gifts a priority. It is never too young to have those conversations with your child. Stewardship prepares children for their adult role in the Church. Stewardship is not just a service project here and there to put on a resume before Confirmation or graduation. Stocking shelves at the food pantry, ringing bells for the Salvation Army, helping bake a cake for a funeral dinner, or using their allowance to donate toys at Christmas, even our littlest family members can start early in using their God-given gifts. These actions may not seem like much, and may have been done more efficiently by an adult; however, nurturing a grateful and giving heart must start young, and be led by example. Don’t discount a child’s need, ability and willingness to give. My own inherent need to share my gifts, while I hope has had a great impact on the entities and organizations I am involved in, has proven a far greater personal benefit. My hope is that when you instill these qualities in your young children, it will lead them to a life filled with gratitude and peace only God can give.

Coats lives for her art Continued from Page 1 gold-bearded monk who conveyed messages of hope, love, faith and inspiration. Coats also taught art at the abbey’s seminary, which trains young men for the priesthood, and even lived on campus occasionally before moving to Maryville in the days when she was making the long commute be-
So she turned the spare bedroom of her duplex into a small, sunlit studio and got to work. The result of that labor will be on display next month when her paintings are shown during a Riverwalk Art Association exhibit at Mitchell Park Plaza in St. Joseph, a luxury apartment development installed in the former Mead Paper Co. plant at 1300 S. Eleventh.
‘You have to be alone to create …’ — Lee Coats tween Nodaway County and her home in Kansas City. “It was really fun to teach (at the seminary),” Coats said. “The students were wonderful, and some of them certainly could have become artists. Others had never drawn anything. I really enjoyed that.” These days, Coats’ voyage through life as a working artist is taking a new turn. After retiring from the abbey, she decided not to return to her urban roots but, instead, to stay in Maryville. Also, in the wake of decades of creating commercial artwork for other people, she figured it was time to start painting for herself.

As one might expect of a painter of her experience and varied background, Coats’ work covers a lot of territory, not all of it on canvas. She also does shadowboxes and collages, some of which were featured last year at the Holiday Hunt gift sale at The Hangar in Maryville. Still, she seems partial to country scenes and vintage architecture rendered in either oils or acrylics — perhaps the legacy of her father, who she calls “my mentor.” But don’t call her a landscape artist. “I don’t like to be put in a box,” Coats says. Nor is she just a retiree
with a serious hobby. Art, for Coats, has always been work, no matter how rewarding. And it remains work now that she is painting mostly to please herself, with the exception of an occasional job for the abbey. A “morning person,” Coats said she is often at her easel by 7 or 8 a.m. and generally paints until around three in the afternoon. If she’s particularly inspired, she’ll take an evening break and then pick up her brushes again at night. Besides painting almost daily, Coats also sets goals regarding what she wants to create how long it should take to create it. “I like to work on deadlines,” she said. “I’m used to it.” If all this doesn’t sound much like retirement, that may be because Coats is not entirely comfortable with the concept. Ending her official working life, she said, is like a lot of things, “A two-edged sword. You give up one thing to get another.” While on the one hand Coats now has more time to work on her own terms, she said she occasionally misses the sense of community and shared mission that comes from mingling with

number of paintings that spill along the baseboard of her apartment, and the number of friends and fellow artists with whom she keeps in touch, Coats is getting used to traveling this latest leg of the voyage that began when
she drew that ship in fourth grade. She likes where she is and what she’s doing. “Maryville is a jewel,” she said. “People keep coming out of the woodwork. It’s been an adventure for me.”

Sisters of Perpetual Adoration spokeswoman Kelley Baldwin said the emphasis is meant to increase awareness about the widely varied ministries of Catholic sisters, who carry out myriad charitable initiatives in all parts of the world. Efforts by nuns and other women dedicated to religious life embrace education, health and human services, hunger and disaster relief, contemplative prayer and the production of religious goods and services, Baldwin said. “Organizers hope to showcase the tremendous impact Catholic sisters have made throughout the generations, and to highlight the ways in which they care for the world today and into the future, as well as inspire girls and women to hear, explore and perhaps even to respond to a call to religious life.” The awareness week is supported by a three-year grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minn., which is launching the week’s activities in conjunction with Women’s History Month.

Sisters planning celebration
Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, from left: Sister Marie Jona Yoo, Sister Jane Heschmeyer, Novice Rosa Cruz and Sister Maria Victoria Cutaia are making preparations for National Catholic Sisters Week. The Benedictine Sisters in Clyde will spend Saturday in conference with Abbot Gregory Polan, head of the Benedictine abbey. Clyde Prioress Rita Clair Dohn said the conference will focus on the Paschal mystery, a theological term for the death and supernatural resurrection of Jesus Christ, the foundational event on which all Christians base their faith. In addition, the nuns will
observe a day of renewal in order to “immerse themselves in scripture” and revitalize their “good zeal and inner journey.” “The week is also an opportunity for our sisters to be more mindful of extending our appreciation of each other and to members of other communities in our diocese, to thank each other for answering God’s call to religious life,” Dohn said. Activities associated with the Benedictine sisters at Clyde include contemplative prayer and the production of altar breads and other religious goods. In addition, the nuns will also spotlight the order’s long history in Nodaway County, a legacy that includes raising millions of dollars to aid religious and lay people in Europe who suffered privations in the af-
termath of World War I and World War II. Those donations proved instrumental in rebuilding monasteries and seminaries destroyed in the fighting and in caring for orphans and other refugees. The Benedictine Sisters were founded by a group of Swiss Catholics in 1874. Today, the order comprises 75 nuns and two women in formation at monasteries in Clyde; Tucson, Ariz.; and Dayton, Wyo. Worldwide, the Roman Catholic Church embraces more than 700,000 women in religious vocations, many of whom serve in communities threatened by war, famine, poverty and disease. In the United States, the release stated, more than 1,000 women are currently in formation to become nuns.

QUOTABLE “We have felt that we have a target on our back and that every team wants to beat us. We have seen so many teams best games against us and we have found a way to overcome their games.” -Stanberry boys basketball coach Nick Groomer

Stanberry preps for a return to the Class 1 title game By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
The Stanberry Bulldogs boy’s basketball team is now prepping for its second run through the Class 1 State Tournament. After defeating Rock Port on Tuesday night, they are gearing up to face Wellington-Napoleon tomorrow. Last year’s team made a state championship game run, but fell short in the championship game to Eminence 62-60. The team had a lot of confidence going into last season, after coming off of a state football title, but they knew making a run to Columbia would not be an easy task. “Going into last season I felt we had lots of talent, just little experience,” head coach Nick Groomer said. “By February, we gained the needed experience and took off. We dreamed of going to state, but deep down we knew there was a small chance. We went above and beyond expectations.” Throughout the run, the team faced adversity and close games. They took the district championship over Mercer by only two points in overtime. Throughout their whole state run, the Bulldogs didn’t win a single game by more than eight points. Their last three games, championship included, were decided by a total of seven points. That late success last season raised the expectations for the 2013-14 Bulldogs

through the roof. “It raised our expectations so much,” Groomer said. “At the start of the season I was expecting statecaliber offense and defense. The boys expected to start right where they left off, but it took several months to get back in the postseason form.” The coach wasn’t the only one with high expectations. The seniors on the team and the community all were expecting great things from
this team coming into the season. “There has been lots of pressure from the community,” Groomer said. “So many people asked if we where going back to state. We did our best to focus one game at a time and not worry about what might or might not happen.” Seniors Nathan Luke and Ryan Jensen both played significant minutes for the squad last season and know what it’s like to be so close
to the title. “It would be a great feeling to win it this year because we were there last year and came so close and we know what it is like to lose it,” Jensen said. “It would be great to know how it feels to win it.” “It would be awesome if we could win it all this season,” Luke said. “We know what it was like to lose it and be so close last season, and we don’t want to experience that again.”
After a second straight appearance in the state football title game, the team immediately turned its focus to the basketball court. Going into the year, the Bulldogs knew that people would be gunning for them after all of last year’s success. “Coming so close to a state title last season wasn’t very fun,” Luke said. “But entering this season, we knew what it would take if we wanted to get back to Columbia. We returned
quite a few guys, but knew that we were going to have a target on our back after finishing second last year.” After coming so close last year, many teams came to their games with Stanberry with the desire to play the role of “spoiler.” “We have felt that we have a target on our back and that every team wants to beat us,” Groomer said. “We have seen so many teams best games against us and we have found a way to overcome their games.” The success of last season didn’t just drive their opponents, though. The Bulldogs did their best to put their nose to the grindstone in order to repeat last year’s run. “Ending last season on a loss really was not the way we wanted it to go,” Jensen said. “It made us want to get out there and work that much harder to hopefully get a second chance at that game.” The Bulldogs came into the 2013-14 campaign ranked fifth in Class 1 in the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association poll and finished the regular season ranked fourth. “I think that winning the title is our ultimate goal for the season,” Luke said. “We have worked hard all season with the goal of getting back to state and having another chance to play for a title. It would be a great way to end the career.” The main driving force all season for the Bulldogs has been a return to Columbia

Bearcats ready for MIAA Tournament to get started By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
The Northwest men’s basketball team knows that the season is a journey and that’s how they look at it — in steps. First came the regular season and now it’s time for conference, even with the regional tournament looming in the background. However, the Bearcats have taken a slightly different path to be primed for regionals this season. The men are currently ranked fourth in the region, one of five MIAA teams in the top eight, and primed to move on regardless of how the MIAA Tournament plays out. Generally, Northwest has to win the conference tournament to gain an automatic bid. “I’m not worried about regionals right now,” senior point guard DeShaun Cooper said. “First is conference, then the regionals. You have to take it as steps, like we had to go through the regular season, then conference, then the region. We couldn’t look at conference before we played the regular season.” The Bearcats are continuing the regular season approach, however, that brought them a 21-7 record and a 16-3 mark in MIAA play, good for a tie atop the league with Central Missouri, the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament. “In a postseason, your No. 1 objective is to focus on yourself and keep the game in the half court and rebounding is huge in the postseason,” head coach Ben McCollum said. “The game slows down.” The second-seeded Bearcats open the MIAA Tournament this evening against No. 7 Emporia State, which was a 96-85 winner over 10th seeded Southwest Baptist on Tuesday night. Tip off is set for 6 p.m. at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. “I watched one of their games, they probably played seven or eight different defenses. Then offensively, they’re going to do 20 different things,” McCollum said of Emporia State. “I think again, the biggest thing it goes back to is you’ve got to treat game one as the championship and then game two and game three. You can’t win a championship in game one.” The Bearcats already dispatched the Hor-
nets this season, knocking them off 89-68 in Maryville back on Dec. 7. With a win tonight, Northwest would most likely face No. 3 seed Missouri Southern in the semifinals, but the Bearcats aren’t looking past anyone at this point in the season. “We can’t think if we win this game we have MoSo,” Cooper said. “MoSo has to play a game also. We’ve just got to take the game for what it is, know that it could be our last game and just play it like its our last game. We worked hard to get to this point and now that we’re at this point, we need to put it all on display.” Even though the Cats aren’t looking ahead, it’s hard not to think about another rematch with Central Missouri. The Bearcats and Mules split home and home this season, but the Mules claimed the MIAA Tournament title last season, dispatching the sixthseeded Bearcats in overtime, 79-76. Last season, the Bearcats played without Cooper, who has more than a chip on his shoulder heading into this year’s tournament after being forced to watch from the sidelines. “I wouldn’t say it’s just a chip, it’s a whole bag on my shoulder,” Cooper said. “Watching that conference tourney and just knowing that you want to be out there … I’m just ready to play basketball. I’m ready to go out there and help my team win and get the ‘W’ like we need to.” It wasn’t just Cooper, wither, Conner Crooker suffered an injury in the tournament as well, which saw senior guard Bryston Williams step up and fill the void of go-to scorer late in that contest on his way to a career-high 27 points. “With the people we have returning — last year we had a lot of missing pieces, Coop gone, injuries late — I feel the underclassmen like Conner and them, they had to step up and play roles that they might not have been aware of or ready for, so I feel like they’ve been in bigger situations,” Williams said. “This year, we have Coop back, right now we’re healthy, so all we have to do is focus on our one fit. You don’t have to go outside the box, you don’t have to do anything spectacular. We just have to work together and let the pieces fall into place.”

Bulldogs motivated by 2012-13 season Continued from Page 7 and the big stage. “We know the feel of making it down there and the boys want so badly to go back,” Groomer said. “Last season is definitely driving us.” Practicing what they preach, the Bulldogs have put together a dream season. They placed second in the Albany Tournament to open the year. After that championship game loss, the Bulldogs ran off 23 wins in a row, including the district tournament and Tuesday’s sectional game. “I think this season has been one to remember,” Jensen said. “With our winning streak still alive, I believe that gives us something to work for. I have had a great time this season and wouldn’t have it any other way.” The most impressive part of the KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM run is the dominance that they’ve shown. During the run, they’ve won 20 of their 23 games by more than Stanberry sophomore Daniel Hailey tires to scoop a shot up under the 10 points. “This season has been a blast,” basket in the Bulldogs victory over Northeast Nodaway 62-43 in the second round of the Class 1, District 15 tournament. Hailey had a big Luke said. “It’s been a lot of fun evgame that night, scoring 14 points, tallying seven assists, pulling down eryday from practice to the games. We have been pretty successful up seven rebounds and nabbing four steals.
Up and under
to this point in the season and I hope we can keep it up.” The Bulldogs finished the regular season with a record of 22-1. The record earned them a bye in the first round of the Class 1 District 15 Tournament. Stanberry faced Northeast Nodaway and Jefferson in the district tournament, winning those games 62-33 and 67-49, respectively. After claiming the district championship, they faced Rock Port in the sectional round of the Class 1 State Tournament and won that game 48-35. Luke and Jensen are the only returning seniors from last year’s squad and they’ve used their experience from last year to help propel the team forward. “The seniors are so good for our team, because they have bought in and only worry about the next game,” Groomer said. “Their leadership has helped this whole team.” Jensen uses his 6’7” frame to be a force in the defensive paint as well as on the glass. He is averaging 11.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 blocks per game. Luke uses his speed and quick-
ness to lead the team in steals. He averages 7.7 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 steals per game. Seniors aren’t the only contributors to the totals, though. Two sophomores, Alex McQuinn and Daniel Hailey, and junior Isaac Heddinger round out the rest of the starting lineup. Hailey leads the team in scoring at 15.1 points per game. Heddinger leads in the assists category with 5.7 per game and McQuinn is leading the team with 33 made three-pointers on the season. The Bulldog run will continue this weekend against WellingtonNapoleon in the state quarterfinals — a rematch of last year’s quarterfinal matchup, a game that the Bulldogs came away with a two-point victory, 53-51. The rematch will be played on the same floor as the game last year at 2:45 p.m. tomorrow at Bishop LeBlond High School in St. Joseph. “I believe that a state title would be a great way to end such a memorable season,” Jensen said. “Getting second in football this year already makes us want a first place trophy even more.”

Maryville Garden Club Know Your Roots By Martha Kinman Will that showy ornamental flower or shrub you purchase and plant prove to be well behaved? The Weed Science Society or America says it is important to be an informed shopper so you won’t end up with costly nuisances. Some ornamentals can be garden thugs that crowd out surrounding plants and travel well beyond where they were planted. The very things we value in ornamental plants can become a nuisance. They may have bully-like tendencies spreading quickly and tolerate even the poorest of growing conditions. For example Japanese Barberry is a showy shrub native of Asia. It produces small yellow clusters of flowers, oblong red berries and colorful fall foliage. It does not attract deer or other woodchewing animals and soon becomes a beautiful shrub. But when Japanese Barberry escapes into natural areas, it produces thickets that choke out native flowers, plants and tree saplings. It also retains humidity, making it a perfect safe harbor for ticks that spread Lyme disease. Those who have seen Kudzu in the
southern states know what a problem it has become. A few other beautiful plants that have been classified as unruly are Scotch thistle – native of Europe and Asia; Dalmation toadflax; Tamarish an import from Eurasia and Africa – and the list goes on. We should be cautious and know the habits of plants we select. “Know Your Roots!” Native plants are trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses, ferns and other plants that originate and evolve in a region over time. These plants adapt to local climate and ecological conditions. Native plants require very little maintenance because they have evolved and adapted natural defenses to local conditions such as drought, nutrient-poor soil, winter conditions, disease and insects which can be problematic to nonnative species. Landscaping with native plants is a great way to reduce the amount of runoff that leaves your property. There should be a continuous effort to prevent topsoil runoff. Attractive and easy-to-maintain landscaping features can reduce the amount of runoff from roofs and lawns. Downspouts can be redirected to
help irrigate rain gardens. Then select native plants specifically adapted to wet conditions. Replacing lawns with drought-tolerant native grass is another way to improve drainage and reduce runoff. Most turf grasses are high maintenance, especially during drought conditions, but native buffalo grass is an effective alternative because it is low maintenance, increases infiltration and is drought resistant due to its long roots. Turf grass roots are 1 to 3 inches long while buffalo grass has roots that can reach down to 6 feet. We all should be earth’s caregivers. To answer specific questions, advice or listing of invasive plants contact USDA’s National Invasive Species Information Center website (www. invasivespeciesinfo.gov). The Maryville Garden Club, which is in Northwest District of Federated Garden Club of Missouri Inc., Central Region of the Nation Garden Club, welcomes new members. The Club meets at the First Christian Church at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month. Contact Melanie Fisher president at 660-562-3331 for more information.

Presentation and approach will be important this year. Not everyone you deal with will share your passions or methods. Having confidence in your abilities is commendable. Heavyhanded or forceful tactics will not win people over. If you’re diplomatic, you will gain the support you require. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Deal with problems at home before they intensify. You could be in for a nasty surprise if you ignore the warning signs. Facing up to your responsibilities will help keep the peace. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t allow self-doubt to deter you from achieving progress. Diversifying your interests will increase the flow of opportunities coming your way. Being prepared will open doors to new possibilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be receptive to suggestions regarding your employment prospects. Enthusiasm and resourcefulness will heighten your appeal. A change in your career could boost your income and your confidence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There are many interesting events happening around you. Get involved in as many as possible in order to broaden your horizons and make new friends. An unexpected benefit is likely. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will be offered interesting investment advice. Carry out the due diligence, but don’t miss out on a great opportunity through unwonted hesitation.
CROSSWORD
BRIDGE BY PHILLIP ALDER
SUDOKU
In a grand slam, count winners first
Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.
Denis Waitley, a motivational speaker and author, said, “The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them ... or even seriously consider them as
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will have no problem convincing others to participate in a new venture. Your enthusiasm and energy will draw plenty of partners with wonderful, original ideas in tow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone with a grievance may be saying things behind your back. Refuse to get drawn into a trivial disagreement. Let your actions speak for themselves, and the matter will fix itself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is a favorable time to step into the spotlight. Demonstrate your expertise in a factual, knowledgeable and inspiring manner, and some appealing offers will come your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can reduce your expenses if you take a look at your budget. Factor in the amount you spend on transit, coffee or lunches. Point-of- sale purchases can leave you broke. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Don’t make assumptions. Being demanding or pushy will aggravate the people around you. If you’re thoughtful and sensitive, you will manage to get your way in the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -You can make valuable connections if you accentuate your positive qualities to the right people. Take good care of your health to avoid exhaustion or a minor illness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Rekindle your connections with loved ones. Make plans that are sure to win favor. Be willing to compromise and work toward a common goal. Show patience, tolerance and good will.
believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.” A bridge player knows his goal, but unless he counts winners and losers, he will often not reach it, and partner would then be sharing the failure with him. In this deal, South reaches seven spades. After West leads the diamond queen, what should declarer do? Although South had only 16 high-card points, he had so many playing tricks that he was right to jumprebid two spades, which guaranteed at least five clubs (his first-bid suit) and was game-forcing. North then used two doses of Roman Key Card Blackwood, learning first that his partner had three key cards (two aces and the spade king, or three aces), and second that he had the spade queen and club king.
South starts with only nine top tricks: four spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. He needs to establish his club suit, which will generate extra club winners and more trump tricks with ruffs in the dummy. And usually in this situation, it is right to play on the side-suit first. Declarer wins with dummy’s diamond ace, plays a club to his ace, ruffs a club low on the board, returns to his hand with a trump, ruffs another club with the spade jack, draws trumps, and claims.

Tech blueprint moves forward at Jefferson By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second story in a two-part report by staff writer Kevin Birdsell about classroom technology in the Jefferson C-123 School District. “We have a three-year plan to try to get a computer
in every kid’s hand,” says Jefferson C-123 Superintendent Rob Dowis. “We’re talking mostly about a ‘bring your own device’ kind of system, but some kids aren’t going to have them, so we’re trying to supplement what we hope the kids have. The first step in the district’s extended technol-
ogy blueprint was to budget $20,000 to increase bandwidth in order to support additional Internet connectivity on campus. Jefferson is now set up for both hardwired and wireless access. “We have fiber (optics) in our building now,” Dowis said. “Our infrastructure is in really good shape with the wireless.”

Fiber optics is a technology that uses glass or plastic threads capable of transmitting messages on light waves. Such cables are less susceptible to interference, have much thinner wires, allow for greater bandwidth and enhance digital transmissions. The new cable means Jefferson students now have access to upload and download speeds of 20 megabytes per second. That speed can be increased to as much as 100 megabytes per second, if needed, with the flip of a switch, Dowis said. Upgrading the bandwidth on campus cost $7,121, less than what the district initially budgeted. “The plan originally was a three-year plan,” Dowis said. “This year was to be training teachers and getting laptops and higher-end stuff in their hands. All the teachers now have a new laptop that works as a touch pad. It’s really comprehensive training. We’re training two of our teachers to be trainers so they can train the rest of our staff. We’ve made a lot of progress.” The designated trainers are learning through a service called eMINTS, which stands for Enhancing Missouri’s Instructional Networked Teaching Strat-
egies. Specifically the faculty members are using an eMINTS program called PD4ETS, which stands for “Professional Development for Educational Technology Specialists.” PD4ETS is a two-year course designed to help teachers acclimate themselves to the technology they will be using while sharing that knowledge with colleagues. Part of the training shows teachers how to operate both Macintosh and Windows products, Dowis said. This will help instructors handle the variety of devices students bring from home. The teacher laptop upgrade budget for the district was set at $20,000, and training through eMINTS is expected to cost $7,700. The plan is moving ahead on schedule, and for some facets even ahead of schedule. “(Principal Tim) Jermain asked about accelerating the process for getting the devices in the lower elementary,” Dowis said. “So we went ahead and moved that up a year.” As reported in Thursday’s Daily Forum, the pre-kindergarten through secondgrade classes have been given 20 iPads, five in each room. While there aren’t enough
The Real Deal
such devices for each student to have his or her own, most classrooms are already “one-to-one” when it comes to computers. Jefferson’s student technology budget during the plan implementation period is $30,000, which is to cover the purchased iPads, new laptops and additional devices later on. “We purchased several of the student laptops from Northwest Missouri State University,” Dowis said. “We’re reconditioning them right now and getting them ready to go for the older kids so they can get a little more used to bringing something from home.” Once the laptops are refurbished, the next step will be urging students who have them to bring their own devices to school. “We’re trying to cover for kids who don’t have something at home,” Dowis said. Even though it was decided to get iPads for students in the lower grades, what kinds of portable computers will be employed elsewhere is still up in the air. “The first phase was getting the iPads for the younger student classrooms,” Dowis said. “The next step is deciding what the school is going to provide for (other) students.”
