Bank robbery suspects indicted By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Filling out the big board
KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM
Maryville High School Activities Coordinator Paul Snow, shown standing next to an organizational board that maps out Spoofhound athletics events, has been named the 2014 Missouri Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Athletic Director of the Year for the Northwest District.
Snow named AD of the Year By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
The Missouri Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association has selected its district Athletic Directors of the Year, a list that includes Maryville High School Activities Coordinator Paul Snow. Snow was selected to receive the honor for the work he put in while serving as MHS athletics director during the current school year. He learned of the award on April 7 during the MIAAA spring conference. “It’s the athletic directors
state organization,” Snow said. “We just held our year-end spring conference, and every region in the state votes on a representative within their region to become Athletic Director of the Year.” The recognition means Snow is now be in the running for the organization’s state Athletic Director of the Year award, the winner of which will be chosen by the entire MIAAA membership. In order to be eligible to receive the district honor, an AD must be nominated by another athletic director in his
or her district. Savannah R-3 High School Activities Director Bruce Humphrey placed Snow’s name in the hat. “Paul, like most ADs, does so many helpful things that most coaches, players and parents don’t even know about,” Humphrey said. “The Maryville Spoofhounds have been highly competitive under his watch, and will continue to be so. Because of that, it was a no-brainer to nominate Paul to be the MIAAA Northwest AD of the Year.” Snow received a unanimous See SNOW Page 3
Three Iowa men were indicted this week by a federal grand jury for the armed robbery of the Citizens Bank & Trust branch in Burlington Junction, according to an announcement released by the office of U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri Tammy Dickinson. Donald D. Kestner Jr., 26 and Torrence Joseph O’Neill, 26, both of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and Travis Joe Davis, 27, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, were charged in a threecount indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City. Wednesday’s indictments allege that Kestner, O’Neill and Davis stole $12,282 from the bank on March 21, 2014. Kestner and Davis are also charged with one count of aiding and abetting one another to brandish a firearm during a crime of violence. In addition, Kestner was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Under federal law it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition. Kestner, who has a prior felony conviction for burglary, allegedly possessed a .45-caliber pistol. Money stolen during the holdup, which had been stuffed into a battered, soft-sided briefcase, was recovered by Nodaway County deputies on March 25 from an undisclosed location after officers learned of its probable location from information developed during the investigation. After a private citizen telephoned Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White about a possible robbery in progress, law enforcement responded to the scene and pursued the suspects north on rural gravel roads and blacktops using both patrol cars and aircraft. The three men were run to ground in a wooded area just south of the Iowa line.

Nodaway declared healthy — but we’re a little plump By TONY BROWN News editor
Nodaway County got some good news recently from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a New Jerseybased institution said to be the nation’s largest health- and wellness-focused philanthropic organization. According to the foundation’s latest rankings for the state of Missouri, Nodaway is the No. 1 county in the state with regard to “health outcomes,” No. 5 for “health factors” and No. 8 in both “quality of life” and “physical environment.” Della Rhoades, administrator of the Nodaway County Health Center in Maryville, said Thursday the report is encouraging on a number of fronts but also shows that this area has a number of challenges when it comes to improving the overall level of public health and well-being. For example, 9 percent of county residents surveyed indicated that they could not afford to go see a physician, which compares to a 14-percent average statewide. That’s good as far as it goes. However the ratio of primary-
care physicians available in the county is one per every 1,676 residents, which compares to a one-per-1,455 ratio on average across the rest of the sate. In terms of mental health care, the caregiver shortage is just plain bleak. There are 1,802 Nodaway residents for every local mental health-care provider. The statewide ratio is about half that, 975 to one. But while Maryville could certainly use more doctors and other health-care professionals, Rhoades said the community’s rural character is probably a plus, since patients often see their care-givers socially — at church, in the grocery store, at a restaurant — which can make people less reluctant to seek treatment when they are not feeling well. “That familiarity makes people more comfortable when seeking health care,” she said. Other “health outcomes” data shows that a lesser percentage of local residents believe they are only in poor or fair health than elsewhere in the state (14 percent compared to 16 percent), and that the combined number of poor physical and mental health days in

Nodaway — 6.2 — is better that the Missouri average of 7.5. Nodaway also has a lower number of low-birthweight infants born each year, 6.4 babies per 1,000 births compared to 8.1 babies per 1,000 for the state as a whole. One of the stats Rhoades said she is most pleased with is the county’s continuing decline in the number of smokers. The foundation report indicated that while 15 percent of Nodaway residents are still lighting up that is a significantly lower mark than Missouri’s 23 percent overall, one of the highest in the nation. Rhoades said the county’s relatively high number of non-smokers is largely due to a cultural shift that began nearly a decade ago that led to Maryville being the first city in Missouri to ban cigarettes from restaurants and banquet facilities in 2006. That ordinance was later expanded to include public areas and workplaces, including bars and clubs that have hired staff. Other bright spots in the report include lower countywide rates for diabetes, HIV, infant mortality, violent See NODAWAY Page 3

Bearer of good news
Della Rhoades, administrator of the Nodaway County Health Center in Maryville, said the most recent statewide health survey by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation contains a lot of good news for Nodaway County. However, smarter life-style choices pertaining especially to diet and exercise hold significant potential for reducing local rates of diabetes, obesity and cancer.

Obituaries WAYNE EUGENE SCHLANGE
1941-2014 Wayne Eugene Schlange, one of four children of Vern William and Leona Fredericka (Stutheit) Schlange, was born June 12, 1941 at Auburn, Nebraska. He was baptized July 6, 1941 and confirmed April 3, 1955 at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Auburn. Wayne went to rural school near his home through the 8th grade and graduated from Auburn High School. He then attended Midland College in Fremont, Nebraska. On December 7, 1963 Wayne was united in marriage to Elaine Bath by Rev. Homer Clements at the First United Methodist Church in Auburn. Their union would be blessed with two children, Kristin and Kurt. Wayne served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1968, receiving his honorable discharge at Ft. George Mead in Maryland and returning to the farm near Auburn. With the exception of a year at Magnolia Metal in Auburn in 1963, Wayne was a farmer from a young age. After returning from the Army he farmed with his father until Vern’s death in 1978. Elaine then partnered with Wayne in the farm operation into the mid ‘90’s, at which time Kurt began farming with him.
In addition to tending to the land, Wayne raised hogs on the farm for over 35 years. As a lifelong member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Auburn, Wayne was very active in church affairs, serving on church council, in the choir, and on the cemetery board, among other duties. He also belonged to the Quad County Pork Producers, Nemaha County Farm Bureau, and the Auburn American Legion Post #23. Wayne enjoyed woodworking in his shop, as well as square dancing and travelling with Elaine. He loved his family, and his grandchildren were a special part of his life. He tried not to miss attending activities they were involved in. On Saturday, April 5, 2014 Wayne was rushed from his home to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn. He went to be with his Heavenly Father at the age of 72 years, 9 months, and 24 days. His parents and brothers-in-law Jack Betts, Arnold Able, and Ron Bath preceded him in death. Wayne is survived by his wife Elaine of Auburn; daughter and son-in-law Kristin and Kevin Stuart of Maryville, Mo; son and daughter-in-law Kurt and Maria Schlange of Auburn; grandchildren Kory, Kyle, and Keaton Stuart; Anna,
Jeremiah, Jonah, and Luke Schlange; sisters Rosalie Betts of Auburn; Mary and husband Larry Boswell of Azle, Texas; brother Kenneth Schlange and best friend Pam Conn of Auburn; step-father Raymond Hutton of Humboldt; step-brother Guy and wife Karen Hutton of Nemaha; step-sister Raynell Able of Auburn; brother-in-law Wayne and wife Gladys Bath of Bellevue, Wash.; sister-in-law Marilyn and husband Richard Calhoon of Beatrice; many other relatives and many friends. A funeral service for Wayne was Wednesday, April 9, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Auburn, officiated by Rev. Ken Miller. Donna Caspers and Edith Schlange played accompaniment for congregational hymns. Kory Stuart, Kyle Stuart, Keaton Stuart, Jeremiah Schlange, Jonah Schlange, Luke Schlange, Bill Ely, Marvin Davison, Eimer Schlange, Gary Schlange, Alan Moody, and Ed Cowan served as casket bearers. Anna Schlange and Sue Cowan were flower attendants. Burial preceded the funeral in the St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery. Graveside Military Honors were provided by American Legion Post #23 of Auburn.

RAYMOND EUGENE HARBAUGH
1923-2014 Raymond Eugene Harbaugh, Ray, age 91, died April 10, 2014, in Douglasville, Georgia. Ray was born January 17, 1923 in Akron, Ohio to the late Mr & Mrs Hiram Harbaugh. He was the loving and devoted husband of Maurine Pence Harbaugh for 69 years. Ray spoke fondly of memories from his childhood such as his love of marbles, walking to school with his dog Skippy and a favorite flexible flyer sled he was given for Christmas at age seven. While attending East High, Ray was too skinny to play football so he ran cross country track. After taking a Latin course, the teacher impressed upon him the importance of an education so Ray decided to drop track and focus on his academics. He spent his summers working 12 hour days in the muck swamps for 10 cents per hour. Ray’s parents were supporters of his education and he enrolled at the University of Akron in 1940. He worked nights at Goodyear, joined DeMolay, a masonic youth organization and a fraternity. Following his fraternity brothers, he enrolled in the ROTC program and was called up to infantry basic training at Camp Wheeler, Georgia in 1943. After six months duty in Akron ASTP, he enrolled in the officer training school at Fort Benning, Georgia. Ray graduated in 1944 as a commissioned Second Lieutenant and was deployed to Camp Carson, Colorado, to
train recruits. Most of 1944 was spent training troops in Muscogee, Oklahoma and Colorado Springs. Ray applied for Office of Strategic Services (OSS), Paratroopers, and Mule Pack TGN and was selected for the Mule Pack TGN at Ft. Riley. On April 1, 1945 Ray married Maurine Pence from Manhattan, Kansas. He shipped out the summer of 1945 to join the Burma Road supply chain. About six hours out of Honolulu, at 2 a.m., exhilaration broke out with the news that an atomic bomb had been dropped and the war was practically over. The troops were diverted to the Philippines for mop up operations and then on to Fukuoka and Yokahama Japan, for duty following the deactivation of the 32nd Red Arrow Division. After he was dispatched to the Burma Road supply chain, Ray rejoined his wife, Maurine, one year, one month and one day later. He returned to the University of Akron in 1946 to complete his undergraduate degree, a Bachelors in Education. Continuing on acquired his Masters Degree in Education from the University of Missouri in 1949. He later enrolled in a doctoral program at Kansas University in Public Administration that offered a special curriculum in city management training; he obtained his doctorate on August 16, 1950. Following a year’s internship with the City of Wichita, Kansas, Ray spent two years as assistant to the City Manager in Wichita. Between 1953 and 1994 he served as City Manager for five cities. Those cities were Wood River, Illinois; Galesburg, Illinois;
Oshkosh, Wisconsin; St. Petersburg, Florida; and Galion, Ohio. During that same time span, he was employed as a consultant to governmental jurisdictions; a development officer at St. Petersburg Junior College; City Clerk of South Pasadena, Florida; and as an advisor to the Royal Commission building the new city of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. Ray was awarded the Management Innovation Award by the International City Management Association. This was in recognition for developing a program designed to recycle waste water in the city of St. Petersburg, Florida. Ray is survived by Maurine, his spouse of 69 years, daughter Cathy Shaft of Omaha, Nebraska and son Kenneth Harbaugh and wife Kathy of Douglasville, Georgia, five grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren. Ray and Maurine were members of First Christian Church, in Maryville, Missouri. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2014, at 11 a.m. at Chapel Hill Road Baptist Church, 4391 Chapel Hill Rd, Douglasville, GA 30135. Repast immediately following the service at the Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Public Administration Department at Kansas University in Lawrence, Kansas or the Shriners International organization.

Village Care staff, residents take Landon plunge By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Krissy Roberts is a nurse by profession, but she is first and foremost a mom. When she heard about the plight of 6-month-old Landon Shaw, the Tarkio infant diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, it triggered an emotional response. “When I heard the story, I cried,” Roberts said. “Any parent can empathize with the situation, especially what the parents are going through. I’m a parent and the story broke my heart.” Roberts organized a fundraising plunge among staffers at Village Care Center. The plunge took place Thursday at the indoor pool at the Holiday Inn Express. “Krissy came and asked me about it,” facility Administrator Karen Fletchall said. “She was so passionate about it. I not only gave her the go-ahead, but I put her in charge.” Within a day, Roberts
had 10-15 plungers signed up. Due to some health considerations, the group went looking for a climatecontrolled site for their dip in the water. “We called the Holiday Inn Express and asked about using their pool,” Roberts said. “They agreed immediately, and we want to thank them.” The story took a new twist when some Village Care residentswanted to participate. “Some of the residents have been affected by cancer,” Roberts said. “When they were made aware of the event and what it was raising money for, they wanted to participate. Some are making contributions, but others went to the pool to at least get their feet wet.” Roberts said in planning and participating in this event, the staff at Village Care wants to challenge other local and regional businesses, especially their
LOCAL NEWS Chamber retains state license office
The Missouri Department of Revenue has awarded the management contract for the Maryville motor vehicle license office to the Maryville Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has held the contract since 1982, but faced a competitive bidding process this year after Community Services Inc., a local non-profit social services agency, submitted an application. The department’s decision means the office will remain in its current location at 423 N. Market St. next door to City Hall. During fiscal 2013, according to a DOR release, the Maryville office generated approximately $102,000 in agent processing fees. All local licenses offices in the state are overseen by DOR but operated by an independent agent.
Newly elected members to join R-IV school board
The South Nodaway R-IV Board of Education will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 16, in regular session at the school in Barnard. Agenda items include the swearing in of members voted into office during the April 8 municipal election. Taking the oath will be Janet Hilsabeck, Rick Holtman and Chris LaMasters. Once the reconstituted board is seated, members will elect a new board president, vice president, secretary and a Missouri School Boards Association representative. Other business is to include planning for a spring appreciation cookout and a discussion on life insurance coverage. During a planned executive session, board members will address evaluations for non-certified district employees.
CAPITOL NEWS Nixon holds school funds JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is withholding funds from the current fiscal year’s education budget because he says lawmakers didn’t approve enough money in their mid-year spending plan. Nixon requested $44 million in January to make up for declining revenue in gambling and lottery money. But in the legislation passed this week, lawmakers only approved half that amount, saying they didn’t know if all the money would be necessary. As a result, Nixon said Thursday he is restricting $6.4 million in spending divided equally between community colleges and four-year universities, plus $15.6 million for K-12 schools. He is also calling on lawmakers to put additional money in next year’s budget to make up for the shortfall.
Criminal codes approved
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s House and Senate have each passed separate bills that would reorganize the state’s criminal laws. The House voted 130-24 to send its bill to the Senate on Thursday. Shortly after that vote, senators passed their own measure with a 29-3 vote. Both bills create new classes of felonies and misdemeanors. The two chambers now must reconcile differences to pass an identical bill. The versions differ on the punishment for first-time offenders convicted of possessing small amounts of marijuana. The House bill keeps the current penalty of up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The Senate measure removes jail as a possibility. Passing the overhaul is a priority of Republican leaders.
sister facilities in Savannah, Gallatin and the state of Iowa to participate. Roberts said she received great support from the staff and her supervisors as she planned the event. She is especially grateful to Fletchall and Director of Nursing Danielle Wilson. “Not only were Danielle and Karen both very supportive,” Roberts said, “they also plunged.” “The support the Shaw family has received shows the compassion that comes from small communities when they unite for a common cause,” Fletchall said. “It’s amazing what has been accomplished, and we’re excited to be a small part of it.” “In our line of work, we see the effects of cancer on people of all ages,” Roberts said. “When you think about someone as young as Landon suffering from cancer, you want to try to support him and his family any way you can.”

For a good cause
Staff members from the Village Care Center nursing home in Maryville are shown after jumping into the swimming pool at the Holiday Inn Express to raise money for the family of 6-month-old Landon Shaw of Tarkio, who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Since news of Landon’s plight went viral on the Internet, thousands of people have taken similar plunges across the United States and in several foreign countries. In addition to care home employees, a number of residents also participated in Thursday’s dip, which was held indoors due to health concerns.
Snow named top regional AD Continued from Page 1 “yes” vote from his peers throughout the Northwest District. He said it was the first such honor he has received in his career. Snow has worked for the Maryville R-II School District for the past 15 years, including the last seven as athletic director. He was reassigned to the position of activities director earlier this year. “You’ve got to be orga-
nized and kind of have to be a people person because you have to interact with the public on a daily basis within your community,” Snow said. “But also you interact with other schools around the state as far as scheduling games. You’ve got to call officials and get them organized and here on time. You’ve got to work with the office staff here. Without them, this thing would never run. They keep me going on
the straight and narrow.” Reassignment means that Snow’s duties will change somewhat next fall. “What I’ll do next year in the activities coordinator position is schedule all the games, the referees and officials, the workers for the events, and the transportation to and from the events, just like I do now. But I won’t have all the other responsibilities after school,” Snow said. He will, however, remain
an active member of the MIAAA. “I’ve been involved with the MIAAA for years,” Snow said. “I’m still going to do what I have to do with them when it comes to leading meetings and things.” He added: “I consider it an honor to be recognized by my peers. We interact with one another on a dayto-day basis, and I think it’s just an honor to be recognized by them.”
Nodaway County among healthiest Continued from Page 1 crime and air pollution. But while a lot of the health news for the Maryville area is good, especially in terms of resources, outreach, facilities and access to health care, the report is not uniformly bright. And Rhoades said that most of the problems have to do with lifestyle choices that people simply have to make for themselves. In other words — and probably to no one’s surprise — too many people in this neck of the woods eat too much, consume too many unhealthy foods and fail to get enough exercise. Thirty percent of adults over 20 in Nodaway County report that they engage in no leisure time physical activity. That compares to 27 percent for Missouri’s other 113 counties plus the city of St. Louis. In addition, 64 percent of local residents say they have access to exercise equipment or other opportunities for working out, which compares to 70 percent statewide. On other fronts, 16 percent of local residents surveyed say they either binge drink or drink to excess, a figure that all but equals the statewide average of 17 percent. In addition, the proportion of driving fatalities in Nodaway County related to alcohol abuse is 34 percent, which is identical to the Missouri average. Convincing people to eat less, eat smarter, drink responsibly and smoke less, Rhoades said, amounts to “picking low-hanging fruit” when it comes to improving public health. Improved diet and exercise habits, espe-
cially, she said, hold the potential for significantly cutting local rates of obesity, diabetes and cancer. One problem, she said, is the continuing phenomenon of what news reports and magazine articles frequently refer to as “Midwestern serving sizes,” the platesfull of food traditionally served by both home cooks and restaurants throughout the nation’s heartland. “Portion sizes are a problem,” Rhoades said. “I do think it’s a cultural thing.” She also surmised that some people cave in to “Midwestern values” when eating out and order big meals because they are advertised as offering the most food for the money. She said she’s surprised that more restaurants haven’t noticed that many diners, in attempt to cut down on calories, have started ordering one meal and splitting it between two people.
On the upside, she said, sharing is usually OK, since most restaurants have gotten rid of the “plate fees” once charged to customers who divide meals. “I don’t think anyone charges a plate fee anymore,” she said, “and no one blinks an eye when you ask for a ‘doggy bag.’” Indeed, these days restaurants commonly offer foam
containers in which diners can take leftovers back home. But Rhoades said customers should be smart and ask for a box first before starting to eat their meal. That way the excess food is literally “off the table” as the meal winds down, a time when the human brain often cries “I’m still hungry” even after the human stomach has had enough.

Author’s note: This is the second in a three-part series on my day at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, Mo. Planet Comicon’s artists row at Bartle Hall Convention Center was filled with more creative people than I’ve ever seen in one place, and I’ve been to the Vegas Gentlemen’s Club in Darien, Wis. This “comic book and pop culture convention,” which took place March 14-16, didn’t have strippers — note in the suggestion box for next year — but it did have the kind of artistic talent that I always wanted to have, but didn’t. I also can’t hit a curve ball. Thanks, God. A booth with Neal Adams, who helped create the modern comic book depictions of Batman, Superman, The Avengers, and The X-Men, was just down the row from Terry Beatty, who draws “The Phantom.” And a booth with AnnaMaria Cool, who not only has the best artist name so far, but draws “Barbie Fashion Comics.” I’m not sure how “Barbie Fashion Comics” fits with the fact that this was the kind of convention that featured the Blue Power Ranger as a speaker, but I’m not one to judge. All these great artists had one thing in common, they were busy sketching. You have that kind of time when people who just want to dress like Han Solo have no idea they’re mindlessly walking past a great artist. But artists row wasn’t just for big names, lots of local talent was there too. Rudy Garcia of Overland Park, Kan., was a bit overshadowed at his booth by the sculpture of a big, purple zombie head, but the purple guy did attract attention. Garcia is a comic book artist and sculptor who’s created action figures for the toy industry for 10 years. His most recent line of toys is a lot like his purple friend – they’re zombies. “We’re doing this line of toys called the Walking Dud since ‘The Walking Dead’ has takJason Offutt en off,” Garcia said. “We’re geared more toward a satirical type of zombie.” Garcia, who mostly does illustration, enjoys carving. Some of the faces he’s carved on pumpkins have been featured on the Syfy network’s program, “Carvers.” Down the row, Alexis Henja’s Honeysuckle Rose Creations, based out of Kansas City, Mo., offers a different type of artwork. Henja makes jewelry, some from dominoes and Scrabble pieces. “I started making jewelry because a girlfriend got me into it,” Henja said. Because of that random event, she now has a business. “This is my second time at Planet Comicon,” she said. “Planet Comicon is family friendly and there’s children. The more colorful and more shiny, the more kids want them.” Uh, maybe I should go back and take my card out of the suggestion box. Michael Debolt and Lauren Mulvenon of Kansas City, Mo., were looking at Hejna’s wares when I stopped by. This was Debolt’s second trip to Planet Comicon, Mulvenon’s first. Just like me. “I’ve never been to Comicon before,” I told them. “What do you suggest?” “You wander around, look for the most awesome costume and follow them,” Mulvenon said. “I’m shocked to see who put an amazing amount of hours into it. They’re crazy good at what they do.” From Darth Maul, to Wonder Woman, to a teeny-tiny Hulk, I could see she was right. So I set out to find some of the best homemade costumes at Planet Comicon, and maybe find someone who made a costume famous. Next week: I meet a childhood hero. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
Take time to connect the dots when consuming the day’s news
News is an interesting thing. I’m a news junkie, so I read four newspapers a day and watch TV news while also checking a few news apps on my computer. I know, a bit much, right? Still, everyone has hobbies and I need sources for these commentaries each week. Unlike the national columnists, I don’t have access to national, or even state, officials, and there is not a pocket of experts close at hand. The thing about news, however, is that it tends to stay compartmentalized. One story does not get related to other stories, even stories hot on the same day. This way, the more casual consumer of the news — and some professionals — do not attempt to aggregate the news. They tend to consume one article, visual news story, or internet item, one at a time, and then move on to the next one. What is missing, then, is the opportunity to relate news bits to each other. Find relationships. Recognize potential cause and effect. Let me illustrate with an example or two from recent news items. It is budget and tax time in America. These two occurrences have numerous overlapping relationships. The U.S. Congress is now putting together a tax bill. It’s point is to continue tax breaks for 50 segments of America that expired earlier this year. The bill provides $85 billion worth of “temporary” tax breaks to specific portions of the economy. Temporary because they need renewing every year, and son-of-a-gun, they do get renewed. The bill passed the Senate on a voice vote last Friday. Voice vote means you can’t check to see how
your senator voted. Clever. Included in the package is an ex-
Richard Fulton emption for financial companies who shield foreign profits from U.S. taxes. Another news item last week noted that shielding profits in foreign “tax havens” costs the American government tens of billions of dollars a year. These and other of America’s top corporations have socked away $1.6 trillion without investing in “job creation” that is supposed to be the reason for tax breaks. Half of that money is socked away in “offshore accounts,” banks with no assets or activities of their own, only that money laying there. We cannot deduct state and local sales taxes from our federal returns,
but the law lets those in states with no income tax do so. Why not let us do the same? The last example from the taxbreak bill is a hefty tax break for using wind farms and renewable energy to produce electricity. That costs U.S. taxpayers $13.3 billion. But Sen. Tom Grassley of Iowa says that this is fine because renewable energy produces jobs and “generates billions of dollars in investment.” It sure does, about $13.3 billion up front. Taxpayers pay for the investment, but don’t share in the profits. Nice bit of business. As for budgets, Paul Ryan, head of the House Budget Committee, produced a budget for the year (though both Houses already agreed not to do so this late in the fiscal year) that would cut $4.8 trillion over 10 years from the budget. Sixty-nine percent of that money would be taken from programs that aid the poor and middle-class Americans. Another news item noted that a recent study found that the share of wealth in this country held by the top 0.1 percent of Americans is greater than at any time since just before the Great Depression. Combine these items with one that notes that Paul Ryan raised $1.4 million in just the last three months for his reelection campaign to Congress (or is he running for president?). He has $4 million on hand and the election is more than 18 months away. Wonder where that kind of money come from? Those who he want to lose $3.3 trillion in help over the next 10 years or the favored 50 tax break winners? Sometimes we have to pay more attention to connecting the dots.
LEGENDS OF THE FALL
Resistance begins to surface in opposition to local ‘coup’
Well, we’ve all had our laughs from one aspect or another of the April 1 edition of the Maryville Daily Forum. The most believable story in the bunch was the one about the lion on the loose at the Mozingo Lake golf course. There were a couple of repercussions from the spoof on my taking over the city through a coup, and the plans that were in store under the forthcoming dictatorship. And then there is the “real” reaction to that story, from one “Captain Mike, head of security for the southwest corner of Nodaway County.”This illusive Captain Mike first came into the picture following an earlier expose´ I had done in the now-defunct Maryville Free Press detailing plans to relocate the old Duke of Dubuque riverboat to a new home on the 102 River east of Maryville. Without any bias whatsoever, I had reported in the Free Press that the aforementioned vessel was to be transported, via helicopter, from its temporary location in Kansas City to its new home near the old intake pipe that once served the Maryville water treatment plant. I emphasized that the necessary rezoning had been obtained from the Polk Township Board of Planning, Zoning and Adjustments following lengthy negotiations with potentially productive bottomland down river. The proposed sparkling floating casino was to have been positioned on the east bank of the river as part of an extensive expansion project involving the previously neglected city park site there. The facility was to be managed by
the Underhand Group of Las Vegas which already operated a string of budget motels and truck stop arcades across the country and promised a “first-class operation locally.” The 1993 story went on to explain that the developers also had their col-

Executive Editor
lective sights set on a section of the Nodaway River in the Graham-Skidmore area as a location for another water-based wonderland. Enter Captain Mike. As soon as the original story appeared, he was quick to respond with a letter to the editor explaining that the folks in the southwestern section of the county were in total opposition to development of Maryville’s 102 Tons of Fun Casino and would go to whatever lengths necessary to thwart its development, especially if it were determined as counterproductive to the Graham-Skidmore group’s plan.
Re-enter Captain Mike last week. In an electronically disseminated “warning,” he has made certain to extoll his new position as head of security for the southwest corner of the county. He also warns that he is “older and wiser, and also more cantgankerous. He states that he “will be a force to be reckoned with. “Be advised we are on the lookout for any unusual activity,” he concluded. The fate of Maryville’s 102 Tons of Fun Casino has apparently been sealed in the time that has elapsed since its inception. And it was only to be assumed that the same was true for the floating fun factory that was previously under consideration for those harboring hope of economic resurgance along the banks of the Nodaway River. And now comes time for “true confessions.” Captain Mike has got me wondering. Our story about the coup was all in fun — written by Tony Brown with tongue totally in cheek. To tell the truth, I had forgotten about the “Riverboat’s a’coming …” piece I did those long years ago, and for sure had forgotten the original response from the Captain. But, Mike, whoever you are, you did my heart good. We had a little fun poking fun, and obviously, so do you — except you dug way back and had the last laugh. That is unless I can get some positive action from Maryville Public Safety forces before Monday and out your identity — once and for all.

FROM THE PULPIT
Maybe A Dream The sanctuary was filled with shadows created by early morning light creeping through the back windows – windows uncovered after several years of being closed by dust soaked drapes. It was a routine of many mornings; a time of quiet reflection, silent listening, a heart’s communication with a spirit deep within me, returning to the One from whom it came. Some would call it meditation, or centering, pondering, or maybe “just thinking.” Some might call it prayer. Whatever it’s called, it is an important time of the day. Unhurried by busy-ness it is a time to reconsider just what all the busy-ness is for. As I sat on the front pew, center row, almost within touching distance of the communion table, now empty except for the covers from bread plates and cup holders, the brick railing became a place to lay folded hands and a bowed head. The sound of an occasional creak of the roof was all that interrupted the slowing rhythm and release of each breath. While sitting in silence, to my mind came images of the church. There were days the room was empty, and days it was full. People were singing and laughing. There were lively faces of people engaged in conversation of the heart and of the mind. The face in one of many caskets became vivid once again, as well as the memory of family faces, courageously holding back tears that begged to be released to cascade down cheeks and lips. Then, something happened. Someone might call it a vision. Maybe imagination, the fragment of a dream. The leftovers of a movie watched or a painting visited. There, in my mind’s vision, the cross. Upon the cross was hanging the nailed body of a man I knew as Jesus. His body was beaten, bruised, bloodied by the whips of those who had arrested and mocked him. It was not the Jesus of recent movie fame, because as much as his body was abused, there was something different about his face. The crown of thorns was in place. Wounds were visible on his cheeks but there was an indescribable serenity and power to his look. It was not a look of beaten submission or helpless abuse. His was an expression of power. The eyes looked almost defiant, but not really, because defiance has arrogance to it. I can only describe the look as one of power, unbelievable love and control. The face from the cross looked at me, standing at its foot looking up. I wanted to hear him say something. In the moment, I wondered what words would come, if any, that would make sense to me. I wanted – I needed –to hear something for me. Just two words came. They were said only once. They only needed to be said once because there was no lack of clarity. The voice from the cross simply said, “for you.” Some may call it a dream. Some may call it a vision. All I know is that it was real.

Beta Sigma Phi hold meetings The members of the Missouri Torchbearer Chapter TO128 of Beta Sigma Phi met at the home of Mary Louise Reardon on Tuesday afternoon, March 18, 2014. After the Opening Ritual was repeated in unison, roll call was answered by four members and minutes of the previous two meetings were read and approved as written. President Shirley Hanna announced that the Founders Day materials received from Mary Louise will be reviewed at the next meeting. As elected officers are selected for two years, no elections were held this year. This was written in the chapter by-laws. The next meeting will be held April 1, 2014 at the home of Carolyn Sharp, the meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m. After the Closing Ritual was repeated in union, followed by the Mizpah, Carolyn related events occurring during her recent trip
to the Bahamas. For her program, Mary Louise shared three selections. The first was an article by Fred Mares concerning former member, Virginia Warehime. Shirley is placing the article in the chapter’s scrapbook. As it was the day after St. Patrick day, Mary Louise read a short selection concerning the Irish saint, noting that he was probably an Englishman who was trying to convert the Irish to Christianity. The final item was an article concerning Wilson Bentley’s life work studying snowflakes. Using primitive instruments he photographed the crystal prints. The hostess served snacks to Shirley, Jeri Patterson, and Carolyn, and the balance of the afternoon was spent playing Yahtzee. The traveling dollar was won by Mary Louise. The Missouri Torchbearer Missouri Gamma TO128 chapter of Beta Sigma Phi met at the home of Carolyn
Sharp on Tuesday afternoon, April 1, 2014. The Opening Ritual was repeated in unison followed by the roll call which was answered by all five members.

Shirley also announced an item from the Torch of the State Convention which will be held in St. Louis on October 10 through the 12th, 2014. For her program Carolyn presented to the chapter a test entitled “What State Are You In?” The Closing Ritual was repeated in unison followed by the Mizpah and snacks were served to Shirley, Maxine Moran, Jeri Patterson, and Mary Louise Reardon. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing Yahtzee and Shirley won the traveling dollar.

Maryville golfers move to 5-1 MARYVILLE, Mo. — The Maryville golf team beat Savannah by 10 strokes Thursday night to move to 5-1 one night after losing by 10 strokes to the Savages in a quad-meet.

Senior Dustin Wolters finished fourth with a 43 and Keegan Riley (48) and Lo-
gan Zimmerman (49) rounded out the team scorers for the Hounds. On Wednesday night, Savannah shot a 175 to win its home event. Maryville shot a 185, Lafayette (227) and Benton (242) rounded out the team scores. Hayes took second by three strokes while freshman Bryce Farlin (46), Wolters (48) and Zimmerman (49) filled out the rest of the lineup.

Northeast Nodaway junior hurler Andrew Faustlin delivers a pitch in Thursday’s contest versus South Nodaway at Beal Park in Maryville. Faustlin struck out 14 in the Bluejay’s 8-5 victory.
Faustlin leads Jays to win By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Northeast Nodaway rode some timely hitting and the right arm of junior Andrew Faustlin to pick up an 8-5 victory over South Nodaway in the Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference opener for both squads. The Bluejays struck first in the top of the first inning as freshman Andrew Freemyer led off with a single, then stole second base. Freemyer then scored on an RBI single by junior Garet Jackson. Faustlin reached first on a force out, stole second, and scored on freshman Rowdy West’s RBI double. South Nodaway responded in the bottom of inning one with three runs of its own. Junior Jed Galbraith led off by drawing a walk, then stealing second. Two outs later, sophomore catcher Bryce Deen plated Galbraith with an RBI single. Senior Dalton Murphy singled Deen to third and both came around to score on junior Trestan McGeorge’s two-run double. The Bluejays grabbed the lead for good in the top of the second, scoring four runs. Singles by junior Austin Jones, Freemyer and West, combined with a walk and an error, keyed the four-run outburst as the Bluejays took a 6-3 lead. South Nodaway responded with two runs in the bottom of the second. With one out, junior Quentin Ebrecht singled and moved to second when Galbraith drew a walk. Ebrecht scored on an RBI single by
junior Logan Murphy and Galbraith scored on an error on the play. However, a wellexecuted relay by Northeast Nodaway gunned down Logan Murphy at third for the third out of the inning. “I was proud of the way our kids competed,” South Nodaway coach Aaron Murphy said. “We’ve had a tough week, and Northeast tattooed us the last time we played, so I was pleased that our team stayed up and battled until the end.” The Bluejays extended its lead to 7-5 in the fifth as Jackson and Faustlin reached on errors and Jackson scored when West hit into a fielder’s choice. Northeast Nodaway completed the scoring in the seventh, as consecutive singles by Faustlin, West and senior Shaun Burns produced the final run of the game. Faustlin went the distance for the Bluejays, allowing seven hits while striking out 14 Longhorn hitters. Sophomore Ben Jermain took the loss for South Nodaway, despite scattering seven hits over six innings. “They hit the ball well early,” Bluejay coach Vance Proffitt said. “Andrew settled down and we tightened up defensively and quit throwing the ball around. “We’re still settling in as a team. We only returned five players off last year’s team, and we’re young, but we’re improving each game.” The Bluejays are back in action Monday, as they host East Atchison. South Nodaway will return to the diamond Tuesday, traveling to Bishop LeBlond.
Maryville has seen Lafayette twice this soccer season and beaten the Fighting Irish handedly both times. Thursday night’s contest was a little bit closer than the first meeting, though. The Spoofhounds claimed a 5-1 win Thursday at Maryville High School after beating the Irish 8-0 back on April 1. “They came up here ready to play and they played much better than the last game we played against them,” head coach Dale Reuter said. “They had us on the ropes for a little bit, but we persevered. I think we played better ball than we played on Tuesday and I’m pleased with that. “When you can beat a conference foe 5-1, I’m pretty happy with that.” Maryville got on the board early as senior midfielder Cassie Holtman scored on an assist from junior forward Ashton Reuter in the seventh minute. This was the first time all season the junior forward has been held scoreless after amassing 19 goals in the first five games. “Ashton didn’t have the game that she wanted,” Coach Reuter said. “She did get an assist, though, which is good.” It took the Hounds a while to get that second goal as Cassie Holtman converted a free kick in the 21st minute. Then, in the 31st minute, sophomore forward Mollie Holtman scored on an assist from her sister. “I felt like we worked the ball really good this game,” Cassie Holtman said. “I was impressed with our touches.” The Spoofhounds took a 3-0 lead into halftime, but the Irish put a little pressure
back on in the 48th minute as Ashley Hinkle put a shot past Maryville sophomore keeper Kylie Reuter. “That was a heck of a strike by Ashley that scored that goal against us,” Coach Reuter said.” It was just a good hard strike from the outside and you couldn’t put it in any better placement. You looked at your goalkeeper and go, ‘If you were 8-feet tall and 20-feet wide, you might have got that.’” Maryville answered in the 59th minute as Mollie Holtman scored her second goal of the game, and 16th of the season, off an assist from sophomore midfielder Abby Van de Ven shortly after re-entering the game, having left earlier with an apparent head injury. “Mollie had a good game. She was just all over,” Coach Reuter said. “She got a little bump in the head there, but she came back through. She was fine, just kind of bounced it off the ground a little bit and came back with a vengeance and scored within 20 seconds of going back in.” Cassie Holtman finished off the scoring in the 67th minute on another free kick from just outside the box. “I can’t say they set up their defense very well for (the free kicks), but it was good to get those in,” she said. “I haven’t done that in a while, so it was good.” Maryville is back on the pitch Friday night at Bishop LeBlond. “They’re gonna come out after us,” Coach Reuter said. “It’s going to be a good game. I look for it to be the toughest game thus far this year and I know they won’t disappoint me. I’m glad we had a good game (Thursday) and challenged the girls in many aspects because I know they’re going to be challenged (tonight).”
Miners take 2 from Bearcats CHILLICOTHE, Mo. — The Northwest softball team dropped both games of a double-header Wednesday in non-conference action against Missouri S&T, losing both games 5-3. The Miners plated two runs in the top of the first inning while the Bearcats added one in the bottom half when senior Kristen Uthe was knocked in by a single off the bat of freshman Baylee Scarbrough. Missouri S&T plated two more runs in the top of the third inning to take a 4-1 lead. Sophomore Maddie Jones hit a two-run homerun to right-center field in the fourth inning to bring Northwest back within one. The Miners grabbed an insurance run in the top of the seventh as Northwest was shut down in the bottom half of the inning. Sophomore Sarah Baldwin was tagged with the loss as she allowed five runs, three earned, and struck out six.
Junior Stephanie Mark singled in freshman Cassidy Lee to give the Bearcats an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning in game two. The Miners had a big third inning, knocking in three runs before plating two more in the bottom of the fifth. Northwest managed one run in the sixth and another in the seventh, but was unable to complete the comeback. The Bearcats out hit Missouri S&T in both games as they combined for 20 hits, but left 20 runners stranded on base over the course of the two games. Northwest, 16-24, will take its final road trip of the regular season this weekend to take on Lincoln Friday in double-header action, with game one slated to start at 3 p.m. The Bearcats will follow it up with a double-header beginning at noon Saturday against Lindenwood in St. Charles.

This will be a very promising year for you. Your work ethic and dependability will put you in high demand. The number of options available to you will only keep increasing. Follow your intuition, and you will triumph in your personal and professional lives. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep an up-to-date record of your business contacts. Don’t be shy if you are looking to change or advance your career. Networking with friends can prove beneficial, as well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will feel energetic and in high spirits. Get together with a close friend for a day of fun and laughter. A shopping spree or sightseeing excursion could lead to romance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your home may not be the safe haven that you’d like it to be. Minor disagreements could develop into major arguments. You can avoid trouble if you keep your opinions to yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Stop hesitating and take the plunge. Your life is not going to change if you wait for others to make the first move. Take the initiative and chase your goals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep your eyes and ears open to any financial suggestions you receive. Be ready to take action. Moving decisively and quickly could pave the way to an unexpected moneymaking venture. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Overindulgence is not an answer to
your problems. If you are distressed or confused, talk it out with someone you trust. Someone from your past is likely to want to re-enter your life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You may discover some money that you had forgotten about. Now is the best time to complete any unfinished chores or tackle tasks that you have been putting off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Find an imaginative way to sell your ideas. Your talents will go unnoticed unless you market your skills effectively. Take any opportunity to help others in your community. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should remain observant and tight-lipped today. If you are too open, you will leave yourself open to criticism. Don’t give anyone the chance to use your words against you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Changes are happening all around you. Now is a good time for reflection and contemplation. Imagine ways to improve your life, and examine different avenues that will help get you there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You may be intrigued by a fascinating opportunity. Before you sign something or make an investment, look into the legal details. Rather than take a gamble, you should make an informed decision. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You are likely to meet someone who will take a special place in your heart. Talking about your intentions will lead to long-term plans. Put love and romance first.
William Shakespeare wrote, “Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends.” How wrong could he be when applied to bridge? Many players make mistakes because they play too quickly. In particular, when a defender is on lead, a delay or two ... or three ... for analysis is rarely a bad idea. In this deal, for example, West leads the heart two against four spades. What should East do? North responds with four clubs, a perfect splinter bid, showing at least four-card spade support, game-going values and at most a singleton in clubs. East was tempted to overcall four hearts. However, the vulnerability was unfavorable, East presumably had two cast-iron defensive tricks (so the opponents did not have a slam), and North-South owned the master suit. (Note that if East does intervene with a four-heart bid, South should pass. North would be delighted to double for penalty and the price would be 1,100 or 1,400.) East knows that his partner has led a singleton. So, many a defender wins with his heart ace and immediately gives his partner a ruff. After that, there is no longer a defense. East should consider his target. Four tricks are needed, not three. From the point-count, West is known to have a Yarborough. So, East must organize his diamond ruff before giving West his spade ruff. At trick two, East should shift to his diamond. Declarer will win in the dummy and play a spade, but East takes the trick and leads the heart eight, a suit-preference signal for diamonds. West, after ruffing, returns a diamond, and East’s ruff defeats the contract.

Prosecutor lays down the law on rape By TONY BROWN News editor
Almost three months to the day after Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced she was upholding the decision of Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice not to file felony charges in a case of alleged rape at a teenage party in Maryville, Peters Baker was back in town to talk to Northwest Missouri State University students about how the legal system works to protect victims of sexual assault. The Daisy Coleman rape investigation and its aftermath caused a weeks-long stir in the national media following Rice’s controversial decision, which led to Peters Baker being appointed special prosecutor. Over the years, Peters Baker has built a solid reputation as an aggressive courtroom advocate for victims of sexual assault, and she spent about 45 minutes Wednesday talking to a small group of college students about how the criminal justice system works — sometimes less that perfectly — to bring about justice. After an assault, Peters Baker said, the first thing that has to happen is for the victim, or a witness willing to assume the role of an “active bystander,” to come forward with information indicating that a crime has occurred. As horrible and devastating as sex crimes are, Peters Baker said, “If we don’t have sufficient evidence, we, by law — and we have taken an oath — have a responsibility not to go forward with the case.” On the other hand, she said, “prosecutors fight hard, but fight fair,” to make charges stick once the decision is made to proceed. “We’re not doing this on our own,” Peters Baker said. “We’re not doing this for our trial statistics. We’re doing it for the victim.” Fortunately taking such cases before a judge has gotten easier over the years thanks to tougher state laws
TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM
Speaking about the unspeakable
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker, left, and Assistant Prosecutor Janette Rodecap talk to students at Northwest Missouri State University on Wednesday during a discussion on the justice system’s response to rape and sexual assault. The session was held in conjunction with National Crime Victim Rights Week, which continues through Saturday. that have broadened the definition of rape, a definition that used to hinge largely on the presence of physical coercion. These days, Peters Baker said, a suspect can be charged with rape if he — or she — has sexual intercourse with another person who is “incapacitated, incapable of consent, or lacks the capacity to consent, or by the use of forcible compulsion.” Also under current law, such compulsion includes “the use of a substance administered without a victim’s knowledge or consent which renders the victim physically or mentally impaired …” Another fairly recent tool in prosecutors’ arsenal, Peters Baker said, is Missouri’s “rape shield” statute, which, with some exceptions, disallows evidence pertaining to the alleged victim’s prior sexual conduct. The rape shield, she said, is an important protection for victims that keeps their private lives and past relationships from being used against them as part of an alleged assailant’s defense.
“We should not drag a victim through a disparaging character assassination because they happen to report that they have been raped,” Peters Baker said. But despite the statutory changes, Peters Baker said taking a rape case to trial
Peters Baker said one of the biggest challenges for prosecutors in bringing rape and sexual assault cases is working to “cushion the blow” to victims so that they can receive some measure of justice. Also speaking during the
‘We should not drag a victim through a disparaging character assassination because they happen to report that they have been raped.’
— Jean Peters Baker Jackson County Prosecutor
is still a legally and emotionally daunting process, and that victims must steel themselves to face a long list of as many as 17 steps before finally receiving their day in court. Those steps run the entire gamut from the arrest and charging of the suspect through victim interviews, preliminary hearings, arraignments, plea-bargaining and pre-trial meetings with witnesses and depositions.
presentation was Assistant Jackson County Prosecutor Janette Rodecap, who said prosecutors often make “excruciating” decisions regarding if and how to pursue a particular case. She said a key factor is the victim’s state of mind and willingness to endure the rigors of a trial. “You have to look at the whole universe,” Rodecap said, citing one case in which she accepted a plea
bargain to lesser charges because the young victim was cutting herself and expressing thoughts about suicide — both common reactions to abuse. Asked if Missouri’s laws on rape and sexual abuse were stringent enough, Peters Baker said current statutes stack up pretty well with other states, and that the problem is “not legislative.” The bigger issue, she said, is convincing both victims and witnesses of the importance of reporting. “The law is there,” Peters Baker said, “but we’re not quite there behind it.” She said that educators, nurses and others who come into frequent contact with young people have, in general, become much better about reporting suspicions that a sex crime has been committed. “But the rest of us need a little help in that area.” More people need to be aware, Baker said, that reporting sexual abuse is no longer just a moral obligation, but often a legal one as well. A third presenter Wednesday was Angie Blumel of Kansas City’s Metropolitan
Organization to Counter Sexual Assault, or MOSCA, which works to provide resources to sexual assault victims across the region. Blumel talked about the difficulties victims often encounter in reporting assaults, including a reticence to share the whole truth about their experience with peace officers. “When I’m talking to law enforcement, I like to present my best self,” Blumel said. “You may not want to report that you drank ten shots of vodka back in your dorm room before going out.” But police, she said, are more concerned with determining if a felony assault has occurred than if the victim has done something irresponsible. An impaired victim, after all, is still a victim. Blumel also said that many victims take a while to process what has happened to them, which can lead to “delayed and piecemeal reporting.” “Chances are the victim is not screaming, yelling and shouting ‘no’ during the assault,” Blumel said. “She’s not fighting back.” What’s more, after the attack, victims are often in a state of shock and unsure how to frame their experience “in the context of rape.” Victims can also face criticism from others after the fact, along with a significant amount of self-doubt, which can lead to such behaviors as heavy drinking, drug use and continued contact with the perpetrator. Blumel emphasized, however, that such reactions are common, and that victims and witnesses should be aware that these behaviors have no bearing on whether or not a crime has been committed. Basically, whether a rape has happened or not boils down to mutual consent, Blumel said. But defining consent is not always as simple as it sounds. “What no consent may sound like is silence,” she said. “If it’s not a no, it’s not necessarily a yes.”
