Tree planting event recognizes victims of crime By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
The 30th anniversary of the passage of the Victims of Crime Act was celebrated Wednesday during an annual tree planting ceremony organize by area law enforcement and criminal justice professionals at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. The event is held each year in conjunction with National Crime Victim Rights Week, which runs through April 12. The ceremony, which has been held locally since 1997, was once again coordinated by Tom Seipel, district probation and parole administrator for the Maryville Treatment Center Parole Office. The event included a performance by the Maryville High School Spectrum show choir, an invocation and benediction by Abbott Gregory Polan of Conception Abbey, and a proclamation read and presented by Maryville Mayor Jim Fall. Additional activities included a moment of silence during which ribbons were placed on the newly planted tree by Maryville Treatment Center Warden Sonny Collins and Gateway Program Director Jerry Peters. Michelle Kasak, regional administrator of the Missouri Board of Probation and Parole, delivered the keynote speech, and veterans from American Legion Post 464 of Conception Junction served as the color guard. “Prior to the 1984 passage of the Victims of Crime Act, there were no resources available for the families of victims of crime,” Kasak said. “With the resources now available, we try to restore the balance to the lives of victims and their families. “Thanks to the passage of the Victims of Crime Act, victims and their families are now kept
informed during every step of the legal process and are even allowed to witness executions.” Kasak went on to say that implementation of the Victim of Crime Act is fully funded by fines levied against those who commit crimes. No tax dollars are used. “In 2012, a record $2.795 billion was deposited into the crime victim’s fund,” Kasak said. Maryville Mayor Jim Fall read a proclamation declaring the week of April 6-12 as Crime Victim Rights Week locally, and presented the proclamation to Seipel following the reading. “We once again planted a tree here at Mozingo to remember those who have been victims of crime,” Seipel said. “We believe this is a good way to remember and continue to raise awareness.” Other Crime Victim Rights week events on Wednesday were to include an evening presentation at Northwest Missouri State University by Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker. Baker, who was named special prosecutor in the Daisy Coleman sexual assault case, was to give a talk titled “Break the Silence” focusing on the prevention of sexual violence. She has served as Jackson County prosecutor since 2011 and has an extensive background in the prosecution of sex crimes and other major offenses. In 2012, Baker led the successful prosecution Bishop Robert W. Finn, head of the Archdiocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, who is the highest-ranking Catholic official to be convicted during the church’s long sexual abuse scandal. Finn, who served no time behind bars, received two years’ probation for failure to report suspected child abuse.

New Chromebooks for fourth-graders
District Technology Specialist Joe Alley introduces Pat New’s fourth-grade class to their new Google Chromebooks. The Chromebooks, which utilize web-based programs rather than an internal hard drive, will allow students to complete homework and other projects by logging onto the Internet from their homes.

Technology has an ever-growing presence in elementary classrooms these days, and the Spoofhounds at Eugene Field Elementary School aren’t going to be left behind. Eugene Field fourth-graders received new Google Chromebooks Wednesday, laptops that sync up with the Google Cloud so that students can access homework and other projects from home, or anywhere else they have access to an open Internet connection. “We chose Google because it not only offers the online storage, but it offers the ability to create and edit documents,” District Technology Specialist Joe Alley said. “It wasn’t just a bucket to dump things in. It

has actually everything a student would need, assuming they have Internet access at home. Now, they have everything they need to do their work.” Alley said the R-II School District has a couple of different technology committees, but that all of the educators concerned have similar goals when it comes to getting the latest tech into students’ hands. “We wanted students to be able to have access to their work from home,” he said. “As of now, they have a local network drive they store their work to, but they only have access to that at school.” Another big draw for the district was the price tag. “Google apps for education are free,” Alley said. “Google provides See CHROMEBOOKS, Page 6

CAPITOL NEWS House passes one-cent highway tax increase
Rep. Rory Ellinger dies
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri state Rep. Rory Ellinger, whose legislation addressing nursing women was signed into law last week, died Wednesday following a battle with liver cancer, colleagues said. He was 72. Ellinger’s death was announced in the state House by Minority Leader Jake Hummel and in the state Senate by Sen. Joe Keaveny, with whom he shared an apartment in Jefferson City.
Maryville City Clerk Sheila Smail (left) and Janah Brown, administration secretary, have spent a good portion of the past two days repainting and generally redecorating the Maryville City Council chamber at City Hall. City Manager Greg McDanel said less than $200 had been expended to purchase the paint and the two staffers devoted most of Monday and perhaps half of Tuesday to the project, while still taking care of routine duties.
City council chamber repainted By JIM FALL
Executive editor
It’s that time of year — even if the weather outside hasn’t been exactly cooperative. The Maryville City Council chamber at City Hall has received an overdue facelift from Maryville City Clerk Sheila Smail and Janah Brown, the city’s administration secretary this week. “It hadn’t had anything done to it since 2006 and so we just decided it needed some attention,” Smail said
as the pair put the finishing touches on the painting portion of the upgrade Tuesday afternoon. Maryville City Manager Greg McDanel said the total cost incurred so far would be less than $200, “not counting any labor, of course.” Additional painting is also underway in the city’s Public Works Department area on the lower level of the city’s office building. McDanel and Smail said some outdated materials that had decorated the walls
of the city council’s meeting area for several years would not be replaced at the present time. “We won’t dispose of it, but some items may be better suited in other areas of City Hall,” the city manager said. They noted, however, that the chamber’s north wall would be utilized to display the various awards the city has received. McDanel also said additional “technology upgrades” could be under consideration for the city
council’s official meeting space. In addition to regular twice-monthly city council meetings, the area is also used for various city advisory committee meetings as well as bid openings and meetings with contractors regarding various city projects. Smail said the Kingston Grey walls would be completely dry, the awards and other wall decorations would all be back in place in time for the upcoming city council meeting, April 14.
State offers tax tips as deadline nears JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — With the April 15 deadline to file state tax returns approaching, the Missouri Department of Revenue is offering the following advice: File electronically if possible. E-filing, according to a department release issued Tuesday, is not only convenient but a quicker, more accurate and more secure way to file your return. Tips for those who plan to stick with paper forms include being sure to sign the returns in addition to double checking the math and making sure all necessary forms are attached. If you know you are not going to be able to meet the April 15 deadline, file for an extension. Taxpayers who receive an extension to file federal income tax returns are automatically granted an extension on their state taxes. A copy of the federal extension form (No. 4868) must be attached to the Missouri income tax return when it is filed. A taxpayer who receives an extension must still pay the tax on or before the original due date of the return. Filing for an extension does not extend the time to pay taxes that are due.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Republican-controlled Missouri House has passed a one-cent sales tax increase to fund transportation projects. The House voted 96-53 Wednesday to send the proposed constitutional amendment to the Senate. If passed there, Missouri voters would need to approve the tax at the November ballot. State transportation officials estimate the tax would generate $8 billion over its 10-year lifespan. Some of the funds would go to local governments for their transportation needs. The issue has splintered the Legislature’s majority Republican caucus and many House GOP members opposed the bill. A similar measure was passed by the House and Senate last year, but died in the closing days of session when a group of Republican senators blocked a vote, arguing that it ran contrary to the party’s small government philosophy. Rep. Mike Thomson of Maryville supported this year’s bill.

Northwest Missouri State University’s Kappa Pi honorary art fraternity will cap its annual Cans & Cardboard food drive on Friday by spending the night outdoors. In order to collect cash and in-kind donations — while raising awareness about the problems of homelessness and hunger — students will bed down in cardboard shelters on the lawn of The Station on the Northwest campus. The event, which will last from 5 p.m. Friday, April 11, until 8 a.m. Saturday, April 12, will benefit the Nodaway County Ministry Center. The Station is a student services and meeting center located near the high-rise dormitories on the northwest side of campus, Martha Breckenridge, an assistant professor of art history at Northwest who serves as Kappa Pi advisor, said about eight student groups are participating in this year’s event and have been collecting non-perishable food donations all week in the J.W. Jones Student Union. Those donations will continue through Friday, she said, and the organization that collects the most food will receive a cardboard traveling trophy created by Associate Professor of Sculpture Glenn Williams. Local businesses are also participating in the food drive, with several making cash donations in care of the Ministry Center. Last year, Cans & Cardboard brought in 769 pounds of donated food, and Kappa Pi has set this year’s goal at 1,000 pounds, Breckenridge said.

FROM YOUR CHAMBER
Next sales tax holiday slated for April 19-25
When people think of economic development, they usually think about tax credits and job creation. Although these are important parts of economic development, there are lots of small ways we can foster economic development in our community. Each and every one of us can make a conscious decision to “shop local” each and every day. When you purchase your groceries or gasoline in Maryville, that helps our local economy. When you visit the doctor, dentist or chiropractor here, you make a difference in our economy. We should each make an effort to shop Maryville whenever possible. The money we spend here in town is multiplied because that business puts it back into our community when they pay their staff and overhead each month. The City of Maryville and Nodaway County realize and appreciate the impact of small choices on the local economy. The city and county, like the Chamber, choose to purchase from local vendors when possible for the supplies and services that they need to operate. They encourage other businesses and citizens to shop locally when possible. They also typically opt to participate in various sales tax holidays allowed by state statute. These small actions can lead to a large impact in our community. The next sales tax holiday — Show-Me Green Sales Tax Holiday – is rapidly approaching. It is April 19-25. The City of Maryville and Nodaway County have opted to participate in this holiday to encourage people to purchase Energy Star rated appliances in Maryville. The Show-Me Green Sales Tax Holiday allows citizens to purchase qualifying Energy Star-rated appliances without having to pay sales tax on those purchases. Although the sales tax Melanie Smith holiday is established by state statute, each community and county must choose to participate every year. Nodaway County is one of only 12 counties statewide that participates in the holiday. The City of Maryville is one of only three communities in northwest Missouri that participates. This gives Maryville a competitive advantage over neighboring communities. The Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce and Nodaway County Economic Development have again partnered to help spread the word to potential shoppers in the communities in this part of the state. We will be running print and radio ads that encourage people to shop in Maryville and take advantage of the savings. If you have been considering the purchase of a new appliance, now is the time to give it some serious thought. The tax holiday applies to appliances that have the Energy Star rating: clothes washers, clothes dryers, cater heaters, trash compactors, dishwashers, conventional ovens, ranges, stoves, air conditioners, furnaces, refrigerators, freezers and heat pumps. The Maryville sales tax rate is 7.975 percent. This can add up to a significant savings. For example, if you were purchasing a new air conditioner for your home that cost $1,500, the savings would be about $120. There are many retailers in Nodaway County that would be happy to help you look at the appliances that qualify for the savings, including Al’s Heating, Cooling & Refrigeration; Best Brands Plus; First Choice Heating & Cooling; Geist Heating & Air Conditioning; Orscheln Farm & Home; Sears Dealer Store; Wal-Mart; and Watkins True Value Hardware. For more information about the Show-Me Green Sales Tax Holiday, please visit the Missouri Department of Revenue’s web page, http://dor.mo.gov/business/sales/taxholiday/green/. I hope that if you are in the market for new appliances, you will consider making those purchases in Maryville during the tax holiday. Your small choice now can help make a positive economic impact on our community. Melanie Smith is the executive director of the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce.

If it’s results you’re looking for, then you’re in the right place
If you ever for a minute think that nobody reads the newspaper, let me tell you a story about the time we put a picture of a mountain lion on the front page. Mix the orneriness and refusal to grow up of some friends of the newspaper with the clever imagination of our talented news staff and you get something like what appeared on the pages of our publication last week — Tuesday, April 1 — April Fools’ Day. If you missed it — and based on the number of people I’ve heard from, I doubt if you did — we published stories ranging from the overthrow of Maryville’s government by soon-tobe former Mayor Jim Fall to the revelation that our own Rita Piveral has secretly been harboring the power to control Maryville’s weather. But by far the biggest response has come from the story of a mountain lion that had supposedly taken up residence and was tormenting golfers at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. Side note: THIS STORY WAS NOT TRUE. While we can’t guarantee that mountain lions don’t exist in the region, we can guarantee that the feline in that now famous photo poses no harm to anyone.
Local dentist and good sport Jeff Gardner downed that particular animal on a recent hunting trip to Wyoming. Maybe the reason for the overwhelming response was the believability of the photo of the cougar scratching at a tree in front of the clubhouse or the common belief that the large cats are — indeed — truly
Let a sleeping lion … living in the region. Regardless, for a guy who hopes to make his living in this industry for the next quarter century or so, it’s encouraging to know that if you put interesting content in the newspaper, people will read it and talk about it with their friends. And with the ability now to reach people in all sorts of ways electronically — through our
website, mobile site and social media — the breadth of our efforts really has no boundary. I am amazed, and thrilled, to report that to date, 52,352 people have viewed our mountain lion story on Facebook. It has been shared on that social media outlet 472 times. The traffic that it generated to our website literally shut the site down for two days. Now, don’t get the wrong idea. This doesn’t mean we are going to begin using sensationalized propaganda to generate interest in our products. Absolutely not! We are not affiliated with the Kansas City Star, in any way. This was just a onetime opportunity to have some fun with and provide a little comic relief for our readers after a less-than-humorous and way-too-cold winter. What it does mean, however, is good news for our advertisers. The reach of your local daily newspaper has never been greater. Used creatively and effectively, you can get your message in front of more potential customers than ever. Sometimes unintentional results are the best kind. We were just trying to have a little fun and in the process found out that what we do really is important — to a whole lot of people — who, one way or another, really do read the Maryville Daily Forum.
GEEKOLOGY 101
The way, way, way back home
As I write this, I am sitting in my brother’s office, typing on his computer. Now that isn’t a bad thing, just not normal for me on a Wednesday morning. If you didn’t know, I am out of town this week, visiting my mom — and the rest of my family — while she underwent major surgery. Got to be there for mom. On my trip, though, I did notice a few things I thought I should share. You know, the way I do from time to time. First off, if you have kids and don’t have a DVD player for the car or van, I have sympathy for you poor, poor souls. How do you make it through even the first 10 minutes of any journey? My kids are movie junkies and with the portable DVD player, the trip is a lot less eventful. It gives their eyes something to focus on other then how they are going to pester the sibling next to them. Secondly, I love the Kansas Turnpike. I don’t know why, but I always feel like the only one on it. The lanes always seem a little emptier, and better maintained, than anywhere else in the whole world. Thirdly, the roads in Oklahoma, at some point, are going to be under construction. I don’t know why, but
everything is always going well until we get to Oklahoma. Then, about every three miles, there is a construction zone of some sort. Oklahoma is not always OK. Fourthly, Texas drivers don’t care. They will run you off the road if you don’t get out of their way. Maybe
Gary Darling that is why this state has some of the highest miles-per-hour postings in the country. If it keeps going the way it is going, Texas will soon be the new American autobahn. Fifthly, technology has made get-
ting to and from a whole lot easier. I know many a times that our portable GPS device has saved us from getting. Plus, now I don’t have to spend time looking over those huge, impossible to refold maps and plotting out a course. I can just program the destination address into my TomTom and off I go. And, the final observation from the road: No matter how long it has been since you have seen family, they are still your family. They invite you into their homes and offer you shelter, no matter how long it has been since you seen them last. That is pretty awesome. In closing, I just want to say I am glad to be coming back to Missouri. Seeing family is great, seeing them through tough times isn’t. It has been a little easier knowing that my Missouri family and friends have been praying and sending warm thoughts our way. It hasn’t gone unnoticed. So, I’ll see you guys soon. Actually I will be back by the time you read this. And bravo for helping out little baby Brandon. Even in Texas, I was still able to keep up with your incredible generosity and willingness to give, even to a complete stranger. Our neck of the woods is pretty special, don’t you think?

Farm Service Agency sets April 15 sign-up date for disaster assistance COLUMBIA, Mo. – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Juan M. Garcia announced Monday that farmers and ranchers can sign-up for disaster assistance programs, reestablished and strengthened by the 2014 Farm Bill, beginning Tues., April 15. “President Obama and Secretary Vilsack made it a priority to begin enrollment for these programs,” Garcia said. “For farmers and ranchers who have been awaiting disaster assistance, help is on the way.” The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) and the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) will provide payments to eligible producers for livestock deaths and grazing losses that have occurred since the expiration of the livestock disaster assistance programs in 2011, and including calendar years
2012, 2013, and 2014. Enrollment also begins on April 15 for producers with losses covered by the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) and the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) in 2011, when the programs expired, through 2014. “Missouri’s producers have encountered several extreme weather conditions over the past few years, from a historic drought, to flooding, to extreme cold and snow,” said Mark Cadle, state executive director for Missouri FSA. “These programs will help our producers recover from these disasters and help sustain Missouri’s livestock industry.” LIP provides compensation to eligible livestock producers who have suffered livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather and attacks by animals re-
introduced into the wild by the federal government or protected by federal law. LFP provides compensation to eligible livestock producers who have suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire. ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish who have losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions, such as wildfires. TAP provides financial assistance to qualifying orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate eligible trees, bushes and vines damaged by natural disasters. “To expedite applications, all producers who experienced losses are encouraged to bring records documenting those losses to their local FSA county office,” said Cadle. Nodaway County producers will be eligible for
2012 and 2013 assistance. “LFP payment amounts will equal 60 percent of the monthly feed costs per livestock type,” said Tim Dreier, Executive Director of the Nodaway County FSA. “Those average monthly feed costs will be released closer to the enrollment date.” Dreier asks that Nodaway County producers contact his office ahead of time to schedule an appointment, so make the process go smoothly. To do that, call the Nodaway County FSA office at (660) 582-7423. Producers in surrounding counties should follow similar protocol with their FSA offices. For more information, producers are encouraged to review the 2014 Farm Bill Fact Sheet, check out the LIP, LFP, ELAP and TAP fact sheets online at www.fsa.usda.gov or visit their local USDA Service Center.

Local grazing school set for summer 2014 ALBANY, Mo. – The Natural Resources Conservation Service and University of Missouri Extension will present the 2014 Northwest Missouri Grazing School at the Hundley-Whaley Agriculture Experiment Station in Albany, Mo. on June 10 and 11. Management intensive grazing, also known as rotational grazing management, is a system where grazing is managed to benefit both livestock and forage. In this grazing model, livestock graze in each pasture long enough to harvest the forage, but are removed before too much leaf area is consumed. A basic system may have four or five pastures while a more management intensive system will have eight to 10 pastures. The single most important management factor in determining the profitability of a livestock operation is keeping feed cost low. Cost control, not the amount of production, separates profitable from unprofitable operations, according to grazing school planners. Through a management intensive system, growers can keep your cost down and production in most cases will increase, all while helping out the environment. In addition to making profits and helping the environment, farmers may be eligible to receive costs share to help establish a management intensive sys-
tem. Agents at the Nodaway County office and other local Natural Resources Conservation Service and Soil and Water Conservation District offices can offer more information. The Northwest Missouri Grazing School will feature information on these farm resource inventory, soils and topology, plant growth and species, grazing basics, livestock water, extended grazing seasons, fencing, forage quality, management intensive system layout and design, livestock nutrition needs, pasture fertility, forage estimates, grazing heights, forage resources, and farm visits. The “tuition” will be $60 per person. A second person with full registration will be $30. The tuition covers the costs the seminars including mileage reimbursement, meals, refreshments, onfarm tour equipment, fence and water system demonstration, materials. That $60 also covers the Missouri Grazing Manual, Forages and Weeds of Pastures, and a grazing stick. Free publications Electric Fencing for Serious Graziers and Watering Systems for Serious Graziers are also included Registration for the school is limited to 30 people.

High beef prices good for now, but cycles go down By DUANE DAILY MU Extension
“With record high beef prices, it’s a great time to be in the cattle business,” Scott Brown told a meeting of Miller County producers. The University of Missouri beef economist’s outlook shows a $250 return per cow in the coming year. In the previous beef cycle, returns topped at under $100 per cow. “We’ve never seen anything like current prices,” said Brown. Then he showed price projections from the Livestock Market Information Center. Their cow-calf returns show $350 for 2014— and 2015. Those returns are over cash cost plus pasture rent. “Before you go home and
double the size of your cow herd, remember the cattle cycle,” Brown said. When cow numbers go down, prices go up. However, when numbers go up, prices go down. The Jan. 1 cow count shows the U.S. herd declined to 87.7 million cattle. Go back to the 1950s, when prices were high, for the previous low of just over 90 million head. “While supply is short, prices look good for the next few years.” Brown said. “While those outlooks are great, there are always risks.” Weather can change. Domestic demand for beef can continue down. Thriving exports can end. “It happened with the ‘mad cow,’ or BSE, in 2001.” The beef cow herd will
expand, Brown said. “We’re at a turning point. With this much money on the table, we will add more cows.” He reminded the 50 producers of an old saying: “The best cure for high prices is high prices.” “To remain in the industry long term, you must be efficient,” Brown said. Leastcost production makes a difference. And every farm needs a risk strategy. One thing making economics brighter for cattle producers is a change in the price of corn, a major feed for market cattle. “Corn at $4.50 per bushel looks better than corn at $7.50. “Recall, we didn’t think $4.50 corn looked so good on the way up.” However, continued high-price soybeans and soybean meal tell a different
story. Cattle don’t eat much soybean meal. Hogs and poultry do. “High-priced soybeans may dampen increases of pork and chicken,” Brown says. In past cycles, white meats replaced beef at the grocery case, but times change. More meat is eaten in restaurants today. “In Iberia, home-cooked meals are usual. On both coasts, more food dollars are spent in restaurants than grocery stores. In restaurants, beef still brings top dollar.” Domestic consumption of all meats remains a concern. Meat sales have been in steady decline since early in the recession. The decline starting in 2007 just now starts back up as the economy recovers, Brown says.
Export demand booms. “And overseas sales will be huge if China opens its doors to U.S. beef.” China has a large population and an economy growing 5 to 7 percent per year. U.S. economic growth stays under 2.5 percent. As more people join China’s growing middle class, they will want more beef, Brown said. “While export is important, domestic consumption remains your main market,” Brown told producers. Big importers of U.S. beef are our neighbors, Mexico and Canada. “We favor free trade as long as we can sell anywhere we want, but keep foreign meat out,” Brown said. “That can backfire.” After his optimistic outlook, Brown reminded pro-
ducers of risks. “The time to expand may be now,” he said. But breeding cattle and building herds take time. “Calves from cows bred this spring will go to market a long time from now. By then prices can be in decline.” His slide of the cattle cycle of the future showed a smoother decline than past cycles. The biggest risks are disease outbreaks and weather’s impact on crops and forages. “Every farm differs in terms of risk,” he said. “In high-cost times, everyone needs a risk plan.” Brown is from the agricultural and applied economics unit at the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.

CAPITOL NEWS Lawmakers seeking salary study for state workers
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers want to spend $300,000 to study the salaries of state employees. The money for a comprehensive study of employee wages originally was included by the House in next year’s proposed budget. The Senate Appropriations Committee decided Tuesday to also support the project, meaning it likely will remain in the final version of the budget. Missouri employees have frequently been found to be among the lowest paid state workers in the country. The budget plan being considered by lawmakers would provide a 1 percent pay raise starting next January. Sen. Mike Kehoe, a Jefferson City Republican, said the state hasn’t conducted a comprehensive salary study since 1984. He wants to develop a long-term plan that could reduce the number of employees but boost the pay of those who remain.
House backs funeral protest legislation change
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House has advanced legislation designed to clear up possible legal confusion about the state’s funeral protest law. Current law requires protesters to stay 300 feet away from funeral sites, from an hour before they start until an hour after the services end. But a federal appeals court ruled the buffer zone could not apply to funeral processions. The bill given first-round approval Tuesday specifies that processions are not included in the protest ban. The appeals court sent the case to another federal judge who upheld the rest of Missouri’s law last month. Sponsoring Rep. Stanley Cox says his bill would prevent future legal complications. The legal challenge was brought by a member of a Kansas church that denounces homosexuality and frequently protests at funerals.
STATE/NATIONAL Teens get online training
CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — In an age of increased online government surveillance and targeted social media ads, the notion of privacy as a classroom subject worthy of distinct study is gaining momentum. Using a privacy curriculum developed at Fordham Law School in New York, educators there and at another dozen of the country’s top law schools want to equip adolescents growing up in a digital world. At the St. Michael School in suburban St. Louis, middle-school students recently learned how to manage their digital reputations. Led by a law-student instructor from nearby Washington University, the preteens discussed how facial recognition software is used everywhere from Facebook to the local mall. “The challenge facing our society, and our schools, is how to take (advantage of) the benefits of these undeniably, life-improving technologies while minimizing the costs,” said Neil Richards, a Washington University law professor. “It’s important to teach your kids how to be in charge of technology, just like any other tool.”

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
Novice Maria Gara, center, entered into her canonical year of formation with the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde during a prayer service April 7. After the first year of the novitiate, the second stage of formation, novices are evaluated to see if they should continue preparing for taking permanent vows as a nun. During her canonical year, Gara will observe stricter enclosure within the monastery as she continues to discern her calling. She will also spend time studying the Benedictine vows of stability, continuing fidelity to the monastic life and obedience in preparation for her First Monastic Profession. Gara is a native of East Sidney, N.Y. and has a degree in biochemistry. She entered the Benedictine Sisters as a postulant in February 2012. Also pictured are formation director Sister Lynn Marie D’Souza, left, and Prioress General Pat Nyquist.
GOP wants Core Standards study JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s Republican-led House scaled back its opposition to new state education standards and endorsed legislation Tuesday to allow them to stay in place while a committee studies their effectiveness. Initially, the bill would have prevented Missouri from enacting the Common Core State Standards unless authorized by the Legislature. But an amendment was adopted to allow the standards to go forward, as long as a commission is formed to determine appropriate education benchmarks within the next few years. Republican Common Core opponents said they were trying to find a compromise since many schools already have taken significant steps to implement the new guidelines. “We need to have an honest discussion of what Common Core is today and fig-
ure out how we can move on,” said sponsoring Rep. Kurt Bahr, R-St. Charles. The benchmarks for math, reading and writing have been adopted by many states in an effort to come up with a consistent means of determining what students should know when they prepare for college. Some lawmakers opposed Bahr’s original legislation because school districts already have spent money on the new standards. But many praised the plan for taking a measured approach to study the new guidelines and change them, if necessary. “This has developed into some really good statesmanship and is a way forward,” said House education committee chairman Rep. Steve Cookson, R-Poplar Bluff. The measure would allow school districts to test students on the Common Core benchmarks as planned this
fall. But it would protect school districts and teachers from negative evaluations based on poor student performance during those assessments. Some supporters said this provision would protect school districts from losing their accreditation status, because the standards could lead to lower test scores. “We were going to have districts drop like flies with these assessments,” said Rep. Genise Montecillo, D-St. Louis. The group created under the bill would be charged with developing standards for English, language arts, math, history and government. It would include parents, elected officials, education commissioners and representatives from Missouri school board and charter school associations. The panel would need to present recommendations on standards, which could
include the continuation of Common Core, to the State Board of Education in 2015. Those standards would then be implemented by the 2016-17 academic year. An amendment was also added to the bill that would prevent State Board of Education members from serving more than two terms. Opponents of the standards argue the Legislature should have been consulted when the standards were adopted by the state education board in 2010. They argue that the standards takes away important curriculum decisions from local school boards. State education officials have defended Common Core and said it helps students to think critically in the classroom. The bill needs one more affirmative vote before moving to the Senate.

Continued from Page 1 that to us at no charge. … Overall, they’re a tremendous cost savings or the district. It seems like we’re throwing a lot of different computers into the district, but the Chromebooks are very inexpensive. So it’s allowing us to get more tech-
nology at a much, much lower price point. That’s good for everybody.” Each of the district’s three technology specialists has a specific area of expertise, and Alley has headed up the Google project from the beginning. “The Google rollout has
kind of been my baby,” Alley said. “I’ve been training the staff and getting the equipment set up so the students can be using it. I started working on getting this set up maybe close to two years ago because there’s lots of backend stuff to set up for a school district.” While not every student throughout the district will have access to his or her own Chromebook, every student in grades 4 through 12 now has an individual Google account. “We’re trying to sprinkle in Chromebooks where we can,” Alley said. “They’re still a relatively new device, and we want to make sure they’re going to work in mass.” The fourth grade classrooms are currently the only ones that have enough Chromebooks so each student can be assigned their own device, but they’re not the only classrooms in the district using the devices. “We’ve got one classroom in third grade that has them that was an (enhanc-
ing Missouri’s Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies) eMINTS classroom,” Alleys said. “There are two eMINTS classrooms at the Middle School that have them and there’s a rolling cart there. We’re also looking at a couple of other eMINTS to also put them in the middle school.” Since the introduction of the Google accounts and Chromebooks to the students, Alley said he believes they’ve reached one of their goals in the technology plan. “I think I can honestly say that we’ve met the goal of providing outside access to students,” Alley said. While the at home access was the original goal, more benefits have risen from using the Chromebooks. “Just having access to the software is amazing,” Alley said. “We’ve got lots of students that have a computer at home but don’t have Microsoft Office or anything. There’s other ones out there, but this one has it all there in one nice, neat little package.”

Central Plains Football comes to Nodaway County By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
It may be baseball season to most, but to a group of 28 local athletes, it’s football season. The Nodaway County Bulls have brought Central Plains Football League 8-man football to Maryville. The squad, coached by Roger Nichols, has started the season 0-2, having faced two of the more established teams in the league, the Topeka Thunder and the Platte County Buccaneers. “I really admire my team and my coaches,” Nichols said. “They really have a love of the game and work hard to improve.” The league, which formed in 2006, plays by rules similar to Arena League football. The field measures 50 yards from goal line to goal line, and is 28 yards wide. At the snap, the offense must have at least four players on the line of scrimmage, three of which are eligible receivers. All blocks must be executed above the belt line. The Bulls issued information for try-outs in the fall of 2013 and 28 players have stayed with the team from then until the beginning of the season. “We don’t cut anyone,” Nichols said. “It’s a free country, so we let people make their own decisions about being committed enough to stay with us.” Nichols said the team would welcome more players, as depth is always an issue over a long season. Currently, home games are being played at First and Vine streets in Maryville. There are 12 teams in the Central Plains Football

League coming from Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. Each squad has a 10-game regular season schedule, which began on March 29 and runs through June 7. “We want this to be more than a one-year deal,” Nichols said. “We want players and coaches who are committed to the long-term success of the Bulls.” Nichols said the players and coaches have divided the costs for equipment
and travel during this initial season. They have received some support from sponsors and hope to find more as they continue play. Nichols currently serves as offensive coordinator as well as head coach, while assistant coach Chris Townsend is the defensive coordinator. Line coach Keith Shelby and Billy Young, who works with all groups, round out the coaching staff. “We were practicing once
a week on Sundays,” Nichols said. “But now that our equipment has arrived, and we’ve been bumped around a little to start the season, our guys now want to practice every day, so that’s what we’re doing.” Nichols said the decision to bring a CPFL team to Nodaway County was an easy one. “I was familiar with the league,” Nichols said, “and knowing that Maryville is such a football-crazy town, I
thought it was a natural fit. It has worked out well so far. “We want to continue in the CPFL and if anything, expand and play some games in the St. Joseph Arena League.” The Bulls are back in action at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Butler, when they challenge the West Central Warriors, who are 2-0 on the young season. The CPFL is divided into two divisions, and the Bulls play in the American
Conference, along with the defending league champions, the Kansas City Bulls. Other teams in the American Conference include the Mills County Militia, Platte County Buccaneers, Kearney Hawks and the Central Iowa Roadrunners. The CPFL National Conference includes the Missouri Mustangs, West Central Warriors, Topeka Thunder, Ozark Titans, 4-State Fusion and the Taney County Nightmares.

Stanberry takes 2nd at home
By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Stanberry come up just short in both the team score and the individual score in their first home meet on Wednesday night. In the team competition, Stanberry placed second with a score of 221, one shot behind South Harrison, which shot a 220. Individually, junior Isaac Heddinger shot a nine-hole 48, which tied him for first. But, in a card-off, Heddinger finished second. In a card-off, individual hole scores are compared against one another based on the handicap of the hole.
Seth Noble shot a 55, Garrett Mattson shot a 58 and Preston Aye shot a 60 to round out the scoring for the Bulldogs. Steven Jennings shot a 70, but his score was not counted toward the team total. “The scores aren’t where I want them yet, but they are definitely showing signs of improvement and consistency,” Stanberry golf coach Chris McMillen said. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do, but they’re getting better and that’s all I can ask for right now. They’re buying in and working to get better each week.” Stanberry will travel to Gallatin for their next meet on Thursday at 4 p.m.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals’ Alex Gordon knew he put a good swing on the pitch, and he knew that his high fly ball had a chance to clear the outfield wall the way the wind was gusting out. He just wasn’t sure until the ball finally disappeared. Gordon’s three-run shot, the first homerun by Kansas City this season, highlight a fiverun fifth inning Wednesday, and carried the Royals to a 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. “This is a big park. We’re never going to hit a lot of homeruns here,” Gordon said. “I hit it pretty good, but in this park you never know. Luckily, I caught it enough.” Gordon finished with four RBIs, matching a career high. Nori Aoki, Johnny Giavotella and Billy Butler also drove in runs for the Royals, who have struggled to find offense all season. They had only scored more than four runs once in their first seven games, lost 1-0 to Tampa Bay the previous night, and were the last team in the majors without a homerun. “The offense gave us a lot of breathing room,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Runs are nice. Home runs are nice too. But I don’t care how we get them.” Jeremy Guthrie (2-0) recovered from a sloppy start to hold the Rays to four hits over seven innings. The only run he allowed came on Desmond Jennings’ homer in the fourth. The right-hander, who turned 35 on Tuesday, was coming off a rough start against the White Sox. But Guthrie navigated trouble in each of the first three innings, leaving five Rays on base, and then retired his final 12 batters to hand a 7-1 lead to his bullpen. “You’re going to make good pitches and they’re going to hit them hard sometimes,” Guthrie said. “But if you make good pitches, more often you’re going to get an out.” Jake Odorizzi (1-1) mowed through the
Kansas City lineup the first three innings before allowing Butler’s RBI groundout and Gordon’s run-scoring single in the fourth. Everything unraveled for him in the fifth. Lorenzo Cain singled off Odorizzi to lead off the inning, and Aoki followed two batters later with a triple to right. Giavotella, recalled from Triple-A Omaha to replace injured second baseman Omar Infante, hit a sacrifice fly to make it 4-1. Hosmer and Butler followed with backto-back singles, and Gordon popped a pitch to right-center that hung up long enough in the wind to land over the fence. “I was making my pitches, getting what we wanted. Balls were on the ground, not hit very hard, they just didn’t find anybody,” Odorizzi said. “That’s baseball.” It was a rough way for Odorizzi to return to Kauffman Stadium, where he made his big league debut with the Royals in 2012. He allowed all seven runs on 10 hits and a walk in five innings. “He didn’t do anything wrong today. He threw really well,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “Those numbers are highly deceiving. Aoki’s ball was well-struck and the home run was part of natural forces of nature. People who look at that line are going to misinterpret that outing because he threw the ball extremely well. It was just an unfortunate game for him.” The Royals squandered a scoring chance with runners on first and second and one out in the second inning when Mike Moustakas struck out and Gordon was thrown out heading to third. Yost trundled onto the field and challenged the call. After a review of 2 minutes, 10 seconds, the ruling made by third base umpire Quinn Wolcott stood. It hardly mattered the way the Royals were swinging — and the way Guthrie was pitching. “They’ve played really well against us the last couple of years. You’ve got to give them credit,” Maddon said. “Just keep doing that stuff and it will come back to us.”

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost, left, comforts Omar Infante (14) as trainers help him from the field during the seventh inning of the MLB American League baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City on Monday, April 7. Infante was hit by a pitch from Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Heath Bell.
Infante expected back for weekend trip By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals manager Ned Yost is hopeful that second baseman Omar Infante will be ready to return for a weekend series at Minnesota after he was hit in the face by a pitch on Monday night. Yost said before Wednesday’s series finale against Tampa Bay that Infante was seeing another doctor, but that so far he had checked out OK. Infante sprained his jaw and needed six stitches to close a cut when he was hit by a pitch from the Rays’ Heath Bell. “Omar’s a tough kid,” Yost said. “We caught a break.” The Royals made do at second base with third baseman Danny Valencia on Tuesday night, but that left them with no backup infielders. They decided to recall Johnny Giavotella from TripleA Omaha on Wednesday and he was
starting at second base and batting second against Tampa Bay. The Royals also activated reliever Louis Coleman off the disabled list, where he had been recovering from a bruised middle finger on his pitching hand, and optioned fellow relievers Donnie Joseph and Aaron Brooks to Omaha. Giavotella was 7-of-19 in his first five games at Omaha and Yost said his hot bat was a big reason why the Royals decided to recall him. Kansas City is hitting just .250 through its first seven games and left the bases loaded three times in a 1-0 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday night. “Johnny’s been swinging the bat really well right now. It’s simple as that,” Yost said. “We need some offense right now.” Giavotella has proven he can rake in the minors, earning call-ups each of the last three seasons. But he has yet to
prove he can do it in the big leagues, hitting .240 with three homers and 40 RBIs in 113 games, and was beaten out for a backup job in spring training. “It’s something that you have to get used to,” Giavotella said of the frustration that comes with being stuck in the minors. “But anything to come to the big leagues is worth it ... I don’t think I have anything to prove.” Giavotella acknowledged that “second base is Omar’s job, and when he’s healthy, he’ll come back.” After all, it was Infante whom the Royals inked to a four-year, $30.25 million contract in the offseason to stabilize a position that has been vexing for years. Exactly when that happens, though, is still up in the air. “He’s at the doctor right now, getting re-checked, making sure everything is good,” Yost said before Wednesday’s game. “Omar was in good spirits.”
Jayhawks’ Embiid declares for NBA draft By DAVE SKRETTA

projections have Embiid joining Wiggins in going among the first three picks in the June draft. Embiid’s natural athleticism, court savvy and an ability to hit mid-range jumpers have made scouts salivate all season. “I think it’s going to be hard. I think Jo’s in for a fight. But I think it’s going to be a fun fight,” Self said. “The jump from college to the NBA is not quite as easy as what a lot of people portray it to be. Just because you’re drafted high doesn’t mean you’re necessarily ready to play. Jo’s goal obviously is not only to be drafted high, but be a big-time player.” Self has already signed two five-star prospects for next season in Kelly Oubre, a talented swingman who should help fill Wiggins’ shoes, and Cliff Alexander, a 6-foot-8 forward from Chicago and the Naismith High School Player of the Year. The question now is whether another five-star prospect, Myles Turner, will join them in Lawrence. The 6-11 center from Euless, Texas, is expected to pick among Kansas, Duke and several other schools, but has said he was waiting on Embiid’s decision before choosing his school. Either way, the newcomers will join a team that returns three starters who helped Kansas win its 10th straight Big 12 title and earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. “Andrew was easy, because we knew before Andrew got here what the situation more than likely was going to be. Jo, it wasn’t quite that,” Self said. “What makes it tough is preparing when you don’t know that you’re going to lose. We’ve got good enough players in our program, we’ve said that all along. Our expectation, our goals won’t vary at all.”

It will take a lot of energy to meet the goals you’ve set. It will be important to accept help and to call in favors. Don’t be too proud to let those you’ve aided in the past return the favor. You will be respected for your perseverance. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Gather together with friends who share your passion and vision. You can mix business and pleasure while collaborating on a new venture. Your final result could prove very lucrative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take a backseat and relax for a change. Let others make decisions. Pick your battles and don’t let a difference of opinion turn into a major problem. Strive for equality. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your home and work environment will be filled with tension if you gossip or get involved in other people’s business. Stick to your chores and stay out of trouble. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you have ideas for improvement at your workplace, speak up. Even if your suggestions are not acted upon, you will gain respect and credit for making the offer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your emotions are on a rollercoaster ride, with you tearful one moment and cheerful the next. Don’t let this instability lead to an impulsive decision that can influence a contract or promise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t
reveal too many details about what you are up to. A colleague may be trying to get ahead at your expense. Someone who seems overly enthusiastic could have an ulterior motive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Keep an open mind today. A casual remark from an old friend will give new spark to your creativity. A trip to an unfamiliar location will result in a rewarding partnership. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You don’t appreciate being scrutinized, so don’t question what others are up to. Be trusting. Your relationship with friends, peers and partners will suffer if you display jealousy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take a break from your usual schedule. Get out into the fresh air with friends or loved ones. A brief jaunt to a nearby park or nature trail will get your juices flowing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An elderly relative may be a burden. Look over your budget and see where you can make beneficial adjustments. Contracts, investments or legal matters should be dealt with now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -The time is right for love. Take things slow and easy. You may be feeling romantic, but don’t come on too strong, or your special someone may take off in the other direction. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t waste time gossiping or sharing personal stories when you should be working. You’ll be criticized if you don’t finish what you start with efficiency and dispatch.
Edith Wharton was a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. She said, “One knows one’s weak points so well, that it’s rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.” One of the weak points of most bridge players is the inability to track the high-card points -- and that is arguably the most important thing to count during a deal. How would that help East to find the right defense here? South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace. What should happen? The auction follows Standard American. If you have taken up two-over-one game-force, North might rebid three spades (forcing). Then South would probably settle into four spades, since he has a minimum opening bid. However, his secondary club fit might make him wonder about a slam. Note that if, for example, North’s diamond king were the heart king, six clubs would be an excellent contract. Since East does not want his partner to shift suits, he should encourage enthusiastically with his heart eight. Then West should cash his heart king and lead his third heart. After winning this trick, East should track the high-card points. The dummy has 13, West has produced seven, and East has seven. That leaves only 13 missing. South must have the spade ace-king and diamond ace. This means that the defenders cannot win a minor-suit trick. They must get a trump trick to defeat the contract. So East should lead his last heart. When West ruffs with the spade eight, it effects an uppercut and gives East that crucial trump winner.

Local student becomes painting entrepreneur By KAITY HOLTMAN Staff writer
Joshua Strong recently started his own business painting houses in northwest Missouri. A junior at Northwest Missouri State University, Strong majors in financial management and business
management, and is working to become a businessman and entrepreneur. His venture is part of a national program called College Works Painting. College Works, based in California, teaches undergraduate students how to build a competitive resume and gain marketable skills
through owning a painting business. The business, now more than 20 years old, operates in 19 states, paints more than 10,000 homes annually, and hires more than 2,000 college students every year. “A couple of full-time representatives from College Works came into our
accounting class,” Strong said. “This hasn’t been done in this area before, so my friend and I thought it seemed interesting. I cover northwest Missouri, including Maryville and St. Joseph, he is down in Kansas City.” Strong guarantees quality work. College Works Painting has one-to-fiveyear guarantees. They are fully licensed and insured and have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. They tout the highest customer satisfaction rating in the industry at 97 percent. “For the first couple weekends, I am walking door-to-door and discussing
free estimates with potential customers,” he said. Right now I’ve got about 40 leads both in Maryville and in St. Joseph.” Strong serves on the NWMSU Student Senate as the chief of staff and nontraditional student representative. Before becoming a non-traditional student, he worked on a row crop farm outside of Maitland. “My background in farming gave me a strong work ethic, and college gave me the tools I need,” Strong said. “I want to be the kind of person who will be able to give back to my community.” With a dream of helping
Making his own way
people with their financial goals, Strong would like to become a financial advisor. “Oddly enough, when I looked into this internship, I was leery at first. Once I found out more about it, quite a few financial advisors have gone through this in the last 10 years. In both fields, we have to go out, network and make sales. We also have to be able to manage time and balance finding new clients as well as manage ones we already have. Strong offers free estimates. Anyone who is interested should call (660) 2544047 or (888) 450-9675. Find more information at collegeworks.com.
