Yard sales take over Highway 48 By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Treasure hunters
KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FOURM
Bargain hunters search through clothes, toys and other merchandise inside Bonnie Sybert’s garage during the Highway 48 Yard Sale on Friday. This is the third year for the event, which boasted 23 sales, the most ever.
From baby clothes to VCRs, from dressers to prom dresses — almost anything anyone might need could be found along Highway 48 last weekend. On Friday and Saturday, 23 different yard sales popped up along the two-lane for this rural community’s third-annual Highway 48 Yard Sale. The sales were scattered from the Highway 71 junction all the way to Whitesville, a nine-mile stretch of pavement. Most of those holding the sales live along the roadside and simply agreed a while back that putting their used stuff on the market on the same day helps bring in more customers. “When the community does it, you have a better turnout,” said Sarah Cole, who lives nearly a mile down a gravel road from the
highway itself. “People don’t come out in the country unless there are several sales to make it worth their drive.” Getting the word out, say other sellers, is the key. “I just talk to the neighbors and see if they’re interested or not,” said Bonnie Sybert, who organized the event. “This is our third year, and it’s grown every year. I take flyers around letting people know when we’re going to do it. After that, they call me and we advertise, then here we go.” One of the draws is selection, and some sellers like to coordinate in order to offer their merchandise at a single, larger location. “It’s mostly my children, and one of my son’s friends and the neighbor brought some things,” Sybert said. “I’ve got stuff from all over.” Of course, some of the sellers are also customers. “I’m a garage saler myself,” Cole See YARD SALES, Page 3

Teacher’s pet, kids’ pets have their day at school By TONY BROWN News editor
Not in a bad way, you understand, but things just went to the dogs Friday at St. Gregory’s School in Maryville during “pet show-and-tell,” a spring ritual during which kids and their parents show off the family’s best furry friend. Fourth-grade teacher Mary Sobotka organized the event for her grade level and brought along a four-and-a-half-month-old St. Bernard puppy named “Bosley,”

the most recent in a series of St. Bernard’s she and her husband, Bryan “Barney” Sobotka, have owned over the years. “Today is National Pet Day,” Sobotka said, “And our kids are just like any kids. They like animals. This is like a reward for them, and it’s such a nice day, so everything worked out.” Of course, not every child owns a pet, or was able to bring their pet to school, but Sobotka said those who couldn’t display a real animal brought in favorite stuffed toys or pictures of their

dogs and cats from home. Bosley, who though still only a puppy, was one of the biggest dogs on the playground. The breed is widely known for both its size and heroic character and has been celebrated for its traditional role as a rescue animal in the rugged Italian and Swiss Alps. The Sobotkas’ dog, however, is unlikely to carry a cask of brandy to an avalanche victim anytime soon. “They call them work dogs,

County team tasked with planning response to rape News editor
Community members and peace officers, along with students and staff from Northwest Missouri State University, gathered Friday at the Nodaway County Administration Building for one of several gatherings last week organized to raise awareness about local services and resources available to victims of rape and sexual assault. The panel discussion was hosted by Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice, who heads the county’s Sexual Assault Response Team, a group comprising representatives from the Sheriff’s Office, Maryville Public Safety, the Northwest Police Department, Missouri State Highway Patrol, St. Francis Hospital, the university’s Wellness Center, and the Children & Family Center of Northwest Missouri. Friday’s meeting was held in conjunction with National Crime Victim Rights Week. Rice said the team was formed as a planning body charged with making sure that police, counselors, the prosecutor’s office, health-
care providers and domestic violence advocates stay on the same page when it comes to helping victims of sexually related crimes seek justice and repair their often-shattered lives. In years past, say Rice and others on the panel, bridging the gap between arresting and prosecuting sexual offenders and ensuring care, counseling, shelter and anonymity for victims was not always a high priority. State Trooper Garret Vernon said he remembers a time, a dozen or so years ago, when working a sexual assault case entailed little more than “taking a rape kit to the hospital, and taking down the information and turning it over.” But that has changed. These days, Vernon said, peace officers still want to “make the case,” but they are also much better trained with regard to helping victims get assistance and protection following a type of crime that can do devastating damage to both body and mind. “We’re police officers, sure,” Vernon said. “But we’re also counselors, pastors, marriage counselors —

CAPITOL NEWS Senate task force seeking to bring Super Bowl to KC
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A task force would be charged with trying to bring the Super Bowl to Kansas City under a resolution passed by the Missouri Senate. The Senate voted unanimously Thursday to send the measure to the House. If adopted there, the state Department of Economic Development would be asked to form a group to “examine what measures need to be taken” for Kansas City to host the game. Resolution sponsor Sen. Paul LeVota, of Independence, says Arrowhead Stadium’s $350 million renovation in 2010 would help make it an attractive venue. The most recent Super Bowl was played in an outdoor stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The 2015 game will be played in Phoenix.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House has approved legislation expanding a self-defense law against home intruders. A so-called “castle doctrine” law approved in 2007 gives Missourians a right to defend themselves and their property. The law says that people can use deadly force to stop an intruder in a home or vehicle. There is no duty to retreat if someone enters illegally. The measure passed by the House with a 110-39 vote on Thursday would extend that right to people on a property with the owner’s consent. Current law applies only to the owner or tenant of a location. The legislation now heads to the Senate.
STATE NEWS Columbia looks at pot plan
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Columbia advisory panel researching a proposed ordinance that would decriminalize cultivation of small amounts of marijuana has agreed to work with the city’s Board of Health on the issue before making a recommendation to the City Council this summer. A measure sponsored by Councilwoman Barbara Hoppe would allow seriously ill people to possess up to six marijuana plants without penalty if they have a doctor’s recommendation. It also would make cultivation of up to six plants by the general public a municipal violation with a maximum fine of $250, and direct police to take offenders to municipal court before state court.

Resources available
Peace officers, court officials and anti-sexual violence advocates gathered at the County Administration Center on Friday to talk about local resources and assistance available for victims of rape and sexual abuse. The meeting was organized by the county’s Sexual Response Assault Team, which works to coordinate criminal justice procedures with efforts to provide victims with security, counseling and anonymity. en from getting help. “Most victims of sexual assault just don’t deal with it,” Kosman said. “It’s just an ongoing battle for them,” a battle, she said, that often leads to behaviors like substance abuse and a vicious cycle of entering into destructive relationships. Also discussed were problems associated with reporting by those who believe they have witnessed a sexual assault, or who be-
lieve that such an assault has occurred. One problem is that some witnesses may have been indulging in risky behavior themselves, such as being a minor in possession of alcohol, and so hesitate to call police for fear of being arrested. Rice said, however, that as prosecutor he has discretion with regard to what cases are filed, and that a teenager who has commit-
ted a relatively minor misdemeanor is unlikely to be punished for reporting a violent felony. “At the end of the day, if someone has been attacked that is the priority,” said Rice, adding that it is often a “no-brainer” to let an 18-year-old off the hook for having a few beers if he or she has had the courage to turn in a rapist. “The assault is what’s important,” he said.
Yard sales take over Highway 48 Continued from Page 1 said. “But then I accumulate stuff that I need to get rid of too.” And, of course, spring is the traditional time in these parts to clean house and clear out the garage or the attic. “This is our first year that we’ve taken part,” Mindy Hunziger said. “We’ve got a lot of stuff to unload. Just trying to spring clean, basically.” Hunziger also said that, for her at least, the sale is also a social event “I’m a people person, so I like to meet neighbors and people that I don’t normally get to run into,” she said. Since the sales extend over several miles, one group decided to provide a little something extra for its customers this year — snacks. “Out here, there’s not a good convenience store or Residential Glass Replacement • Storefronts

The contact list includes the Children and Family Center 24-hour hotline at (866) 382-7867. Friday’s discussion covered a variety of topics, ranging from the number of female officers available to work rape and sexual assault cases to the frequency of such crimes in the Maryville area. Jennifer Kennymore, a health educator at Northwest Missouri State, said relatively few sexual assaults are reported on campus, but that she suspects the actual number is higher because many victims choose not to report after they have been attacked. Meghann Kosman, the court/victims advocate for the Children and Family Center, a local shelter, agreed that non-reporting is a significant problem that keeps both criminals from being prosecuted and wom-

That’s all he bought.” Business was brisk this year, and the weather likely played a big factor. “It’s been a great day to have one,” Hill said. “It was cold and raining last year, so it’s great to have to have the doors open.” And so the residents along Highway 48 enter spring with emptier closets and thicker wallets,

GUEST EDITORIAL
Even when gone, I’m not far away
In recognition of National Library Week, April 13-19, Denny Hollingsworth, a long-time Missouri Press Association member and former editor at the Monroe County Appeal in Paris, Mo., has provided this commentary for Missouri newspapers. Have you ever known anyone with The Right Stuff? I have; several people come to mind. First, it was the Bishop’s Boys, the Wright brothers, later the Spirit of St. Louis himself, Lucky Lindy, and of course Buzz Aldrin. I’ve been honored to have many intrepid friends including William Stephenson, Robert Lee Scott, James N. Rowe, Eddie Rickenbacker, Eric Haney and Hall Moore. You wouldn’t believe what I’ve experienced. Davy, Jim and I manned the walls of the Alamo. I watched Doc and the Earps dispatch the Clantons. I saw both Jesse and Wild Bill get shot in the back. I’ll never forget when the G-Men took down Dillinger at the Biograph, in that FBI Story Whitehead told me. I crossed the Rubicon with Caesar and the English Channel with William The Conqueror, followed Hannibal across the Alps, chose to stand with Horatius at the bridge, and later used it to cross the River Kwai. I jumped with a Band of Brothers into Normandy on The Longest Day. Francis Gary Powers and I got shot down over the Soviet Union. I followed TR up San Juan Hill, froze at Bastogne, choked on gunpowder at Gettysburg, fell in line with other POWs during the horrific Bataan Death March and rode in the Charge of the Light Brigade. I witnessed Lee surrender to Grant, Cornwallis at Yorktown, and the Japanese to MacArthur. Elmer Gantry preached to me and, because of his own demons, would have understood Hester Prynne’s torment. I’ve paddled the Missouri with Lewis and Clark, the Amazon with Teddy Roosevelt and the Mississippi with Tom and Huck. I was present the first time Marconi sent a wireless, Edison lit a light bulb, Ford started an engine, the Grand Ol’ Opry played on the radio and Elvis recorded in Memphis. I’ve had Great Expectations and been disappointed at times; Steinbeck’s grapes weren’t to my taste; I didn’t particularly enjoy Salinger’s rye and fishing with the Hemingway wasn’t successful. I got caught in a Catch-22 and was terrified both in an Onion Field and In Cold Blood. I grew up in the country but Animal Farm wasn’t what I expected, and I got lost East of Eden on the Western Front. The Last of the Mohicans had my undivided attention once and they buried my heart at Wounded Knee; I personally know the Son of Morning Star and learned of the Empire of the Summer Moon and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches. Scott Turow taught me the law in One L; I know about Louis Nizer’s Life in Court and am aware according to Bailey, that the Defense Never Rests. I watched Darrow defend John Scopes and the indefensible Leopold and Loeb. I was at the Trial of Socrates and David Pudd’nhead Wilson is my attorney. I know 101 Famous Poems because my dad told me about them, and he advised me to travel down Tobacco Road, visit God’s Little Acre, spend Two Years Before the Mast, and listen to Canterbury’s Tales. My brother introduced me to The Connecticut Yankee in King Albert’s Court. Hank Morgan and I learned The Boss was indeed the boss. Sarum was an intriguing locale; I visited Salisbury plain with Edward Rutherfurd while watching the construction of Stonehenge. I traveled with Charley once and spent a week in The Heart of the Sea. Michener has taken me to Alaska, Texas, Hawaii and Poland. I know A Witness in Philadelphia, have Walked the Line with Johnny Cash and the Green Mile with Stephen King. I’ve been known to relax on Walden’s Pond for Seven Days in May, and have escaped from Colditz, Stalag Luft III and Sobibor, seen A World Lit Only By Fire and An Army At Dawn, been in The Belly of the Beast, on Von Ryan’s Express, sat on Johnny Carson’s couch with Ed, and have noshed with Julia Childs. Mr. Cosell and I Never Played the Game, but I have been under the Friday Night Lights with Bissinger, and had A Good Walk Spoiled. I knew Bobby Knight when he had A Season on the Brink. Ty Cobb told me he didn’t sharpen his spikes.

MY WORD
Our Frankenstein Government
I am a conservative. Conservative means “to conserve;” therefore, I see the need for the Environmental Protection Agency to be active in the preservation of our natural and shared resources in a time when population is swelling and cities are sprawling. There must, however, be some reconciliation between the government’s legitimate concerns and the needs of the private citizen. Currently, there is much lacking in that regard. The problem with all government agencies is they can be granted or assume too much power. We are seeing this in the Internal Revenue Service, which is gaining new controls through its management of ObamaCare, and in a Department of Justice that simply administers the law as it wishes in matters such as illegal immigration and drugs. Similarly, the EPA has unlimited license in this administration to write and carry out its agenda. I have said this many times, but I am going to keep saying it: The EPA has too much power. When a bureaucracy has no restraint, abuse is inevitable. When an agency is stocked with singlethought ideologues, the goal can quickly become supremacy rather than the exercise of a proper and supported mandate. Regulations and rules can be made to fit a shared dogmatic bend; in the process, the sense of partnership between government and individuals, businesses and industries can be destroyed by an obsessive need to control. An agency’s power can become a weapon; its agents intimidators rather than allies. In the case of the EPA, its hand is getting heavier and heavier, notably toward those with little economic or political influence. Just ask Andy Johnson. Johnson, a welder, is a husband
and father of three daughters. The family owns eight acres in rural Wyoming. Andy had the audacity to construct a pond on his land and stock it with fish and water fowl. He also planned to use it to water his horses. Andy was approved to build the pond by the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office. He went through the proper channels. Not good enough for the EPA. The EPA claims Johnson violated
Larry Anderson the Clean Water Act by building a dam on a creek without a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. The agency also claims material from the pond will be discharged into other waterways via overflow due to heavy rains. Johnson argues he followed the rules and what he built is not a dam. To his great credit, the young man is not backing down. The EPA wants the land restored within a 60-day compliance order or Johnson can be fined $75,000 per day. Obviously, this tactic is of the bullying sort, designed to get Andy to buckle. In response, Johnson contacted his United States Senators, John Barrusso and Mike Enzi, who have no authority over the EPA.
They sent letters of concern to the agency and have expressed sympathy for Andy’s plight. It didn’t matter. To its discredit, the EPA is not backing down. Clearly, the $75,000 per day fine is as ludicrous as those who proposed it. The idea that a small pond can somehow contribute detrimentally to the environment is as preposterous as the notion that an American should have to clear simple construction on private property with the feds. What exactly will the EPA do? Bankrupt a man with three kids? Take over his property? Arrest him? Those actions would speak to a totalitarian state. We don’t have that, do we? The EPA is proposing rule changes that would redefine what bodies of water the agency can oversee under the Clean Water Act. The changes would allow oversight of ponds, lakes, wetlands, or any stream that would affect downstream navigable waters, public or private. In other words, the EPA wants to control all water. This is governmental overreach big time. Now, do you have a pond or lake on your own land, whether constructed by you or someone else? Does that pond overflow on occasion into a creek? Does that creek lead to a river? Does that river flow into a navigable body of water such as the Missouri River? If so, get ready. A stubborn, strong-willed welder has taken on our Frankenstein government. In the future, you may have to too, just to preserve a smidgen of freedom and some control over your property. That will make you a good citizen, like Andy Johnson, not a bad one like the EPA so clearly out of control. Larry W. Anderson has always supported sane environmental practices.

Concentrate all your energy on your mental and physical progress. Your prosperity will be determined by how much you are willing to do. Helping others, although admirable, will reduce the time available to make your own dreams come to life. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Unexpected costs could cause you to limit your activities. Budget carefully until your bank account improves. You can rekindle the romance with your mate or special someone if you are more attentive and thoughtful. TAURUS (April 20 --May 20) -Your friends may be too demanding today. Consider postponing a gettogether until you feel confident and able to refuse unwelcome requests. Your boss will be upset if information is leaked. Proceed with caution. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take some time to get together with friends. Your energy level is high, and you will be able to keep up with any challenge that comes your way. Spend time with youngsters or those who are young at heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Someone is likely to find fault with just about everything you do today. Arguing will get you nowhere. Find a quiet corner and stay out of the way until the tension subsides. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Negotiate household issues fairly. If you want to stay on good terms and achieve equality with your family, roommates or co-workers, get busy and do what’s expected of you without
complaint. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Think carefully before you speak. Be sure that you can live up to the promises you have made. Your reputation could take a tumble if you fail to follow through. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Emotional frustration will tempt you to overindulge. Stay away from the fridge, your credit cards and stimulants. Instead, face problems head-on and resolve them openly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You may feel that you’re in a bit of a slump. Take care of your health with a sensible diet and regular exercise. An old friend is waiting to hear from you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -If you are too self-absorbed, others will notice and complain. Make an effort to be more attentive and to show concern for what’s going on around you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Be diplomatic and let your partner have a say before you voice your feelings. You probably have totally different points of view regarding the same situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You can alleviate boredom by enrolling in a course or seminar that stimulates your interest. Take a trip to your local library and find information that will help you move forward. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Form your own opinions instead of following the crowd. Getting involved in a joint venture with a relative could prove costly. Do your homework before signing a contract.
Percival, one of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, supposedly said, “One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict -- girding up its armor to meet the most insidious foe.” Many play far too quickly at the bridge table. True, taking one hour would be considered excessive. But a minute or so is perfectly acceptable. And if someone complains to you, reply, “You have just ruined my train of thought. I will have to start all over again.” In this deal, West leads the club ace against four spades. How should he plan the defense? North’s auction showed four spades and game-going values. So South, who also had four spades, corrected from three no-trump to four spades. Many would cash the club king at trick two, then look around for the next step. But that would be too late. West needs to realize that his partner has only one heart. (South showed four, dummy has three and West holds five.) West must also hope that his partner has a speedy trump entry. At trick two, West shifts to a heart. Declarer wins on the board and plays a trump, but East wins with his ace and returns a club. West takes the trick with his carefully conserved entry, the king, and gives his partner the lethal heart ruff. Finally, note that if North had raised one no-trump to three notrump, West probably would have led the heart nine, top of nothing. Then, when East got in with his spade ace, he would have had to find a club shift to defeat the contract. Pause to think -- you will defend and play better.

Cardboard campout assists ministry center By TONY BROWN News editor
Helping the homeless
TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM
Northwest Missouri State University students use tape to attach sheets of cardboard together while constructing a makeshift shelter Friday outside The Station, a meeting center on campus. Members of the Kappa Pi honors art fraternity held a campout and food drive over the weekend to raise awareness about the twin problems of homelessness and hunger.

A group of art students and members of other campus organizations at Northwest Missouri State University camped out over the weekend in makeshift cardboard shelters to draw attention to the plight of the homeless and hungry. The second annual Cans and Cardboard fundraiser for the Nodaway County Ministry Center food pantry was expected to bring in about 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food for the center, along with cash gifts from Nodaway Valley Bank and individual donors. Northwest graphic design major Laura White, a senior from Republic, was the lead coordinator for the event, which was organized by Kappa Pi, the university’s honorary art fraternity.
White said the idea of sleeping out beneath a few layers of pressed paper gleaned from local merchants was for students to “literally put ourselves in the shoes of the homeless.” Fortunately the cardboard and tarpaulin camps sometimes encountered along the blighted streets of large cities are a rare sight in Nodaway County. But in an area where, according to a recent survey by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the number of children living in poverty rose from 10 to 18 percent between 2002 and 2012, times in rural northwest Missouri could obviously better. “Homelessness may not be as obvious a problem in a rural area as in a city,” White said, “but poverty is an issue.” As art students, White said, she See CAMPOUT, Page 12

Bolles gains confidence during spring football By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Brady Bolles knows he has to have a different mindset now that he’s “the guy.” And the rising junior quarterback is ready for that responsibility as the Northwest football team enters the 2014-15 season as the reigning national champion. “You’re the guy, you can’t come to practice with that mopey attitude thinking ‘I don’t wanna practice today,’” he said. “You’ve gotta make sure the offense is ready to go. So it’s just different coming in with a different mindset.” Bolles, who started one game and played in all 15 last season, is ready for the task and thinks getting experience last season behind 2013 MIAA Offensive Player of the Year Trevor Adams will help him with stepping into the role. “It’s huge to be able to know what I need to bring every day, how I need to prepare, how I need to be ready to go week in and week out,” Bolles said. “It’s just going to help me in the long run.” Bolles also has another mentor he can lean on in former Northwest All-American Blake Bolles, who led the Cats to the 2009 national title and holds 10 Northwest records. “He’s in Germany right now, so commu-
nication has been a little off,” the rising junior signal caller said. “I was able to talk to him during the middle of spring ball and he gave me some really good tips on how to make sure the offense is ready to go everyday and have that mindset. He’s helped out a bunch.” Of course, with that last name comes a lot of pressure in and of itself. However, head coach Adam Dorrel said his quarterback has handled it well. “I feel like he’s handled that really well,” Dorrel said. “I think with handling that situation, it starts by understanding the situation and looking at it and being realistic and setting realistic goals.” Bolles was named one of Northwest’s seven captains, along with rising seniors Matt Longacre (defensive line), D.J. Gnader (linebacker), Zach Williams (defensive line), Eric Reimer (linebacker), Bryce Young (wide receiver) and Marcus Williams (tight end). “We always expect a lot from our captains, but I think all seven of those guys have a lot of pressure on them,” Dorrel said. “I’ve told them that. Not just them, but our 22 seniors. Our 12 seniors that just left … did things right from January until December. I think those seven guys are a very good nucleus for our football team, for the other See NORTHWEST, Page 9

Rockets take 3rd in tourney By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

West Nodaway sophomore Justin Chitwood drills a double versus East Atchison County in the Rocket Invitational baseball tournament held Saturday. In the third-place contest, Chitwood connected with the first homerun in program history.
West Nodaway held the first-ever Rocket Invitational baseball tournament in program history Saturday, and the host Rockets captured third place in the inaugural event with a 5-2 victory over North Nodaway. The Maryville Spoofhounds freshmen squad captured the tournament title with a 13-1 victory over the East Atchison Wolves. The Rockets met Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference foe North Nodaway in the third-place contest. The Mustangs jumped on West Nodaway junior starting pitcher Trevor Meyer for two runs in the opening frame. With one out, freshman Dakota Smyser reached base on an error and advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Sophomore Koby Reynolds then drew a walk, giving the Mustangs runners on first and second. Both runners then moved up a base via the stolen base and both scored on a single by junior Ben Hart. The Rockets responded with three runs in their half of the first. Meyer led off with a walk, advanced to second on a stolen base and moved to third on a wild pitch. Sophomore Damon Hull’s fly ball to left was deep enough to score Meyer, cutting the Mustang lead to 2-1. Senior Billy Knarr drew a walk and moved to second base on a stolen base. With two outs, and Knarr still on second, sophomore Justin Chitwood unloaded the first homerun in Rockets’ baseball history to give the Rockets a 3-2 lead.
The contest remained 3-2 until the third, when sophomore Blake Farnan unloaded a one-out double and then came in to score on sophomore Treston Sanders’ two-out RBI single, giving the Rockets a 4-2 lead. West Nodaway plated the final run of the game in the fourth when Meyer led off with a single, stole second, advanced to third on Knarr’s ground out, and scored when Smyser’s errant pick-off throw from behind the plate sailed into left field, giving the Rockets a 5-2 lead. Meyer went the distance on the mound for the Rockets, allowing three hits while striking out seven in picking up the win. “It was good to come away with a win in our own tournament,” Rocket coach Bryce Buholt said. “We played much better the second game.” The opening round game for the Rockets saw them drop an 11-0 decision to East Atchison. Chitwood managed the only hit in the contest for West Nodaway, a double. Sophomore Bryson Smith took the loss for the Rockets, allowing five hits and five runs. In North Nodaway’s tournament-opening game, the Maryville freshmen squad downed the Mustangs 11-0, as Spoofhound hurler Trey Oglesby fired a no-hitter. “We are gradually getting better,” Mustang coach Andrew Webster said. “We just have to keep working hard.” Both teams are back in action Thursday, as North Nodaway travels to Maryville to play South Nodaway at Beal Park, while West Nodaway will host Northeast Nodaway. Both games begin at 4:30 p.m.

Mark. Mark hit a two-out, two-RBI single to score Cassidy Lee and Ereth to go up 5-0. The Lady Lions then climbed back into the game with two runs in the fourth, two in the sixth and one more in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into extra innings. Ereth led off the eighth inning with a single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Blythe. With two outs and the go-ahead run on second Mark ripped a double to left-center field to score Ereth and give Northwest a 6-5 lead. Baldwin shut down the Lindenwood offense in the bottom half of the eighth to secure her 10th win of the season. Mark, Lee and Adams all had three hits apiece in the victory accounting for four of the six runs scored in the game. Northwest moves its season record to 19-25, 12-10 in the MIAA.

Maryville picks up 1st win of year CAMERON, Mo. — The Maryville baseball team put an end to its five-game losing streak to start the season last week, topping Cameron 9-0 to earn its first win of the year. The Spoofhounds exploded for six runs in the first inning and seven shutout innings from junior pitcher Jarret Cronin carried them to the win. With one out in the top of the first, senior Kale Heflin led off with a single. Cronin helped his own cause, homering to left field to give the Hounds an early 2-0 lead. However, Maryville wasn’t done. Sophomore Keston Oltman and junior first baseman Jacob Cacek singled before senior Logan Catlett drove in Oltman with a single. Junior Alex Catterson followed with a double to drive in two. Freshman Trey Oglesby singled in Catterson, scoring the final run of the inning. Catterson and Oglesby drove in runs in the fourth inning as well to add to the Maryville lead. Sophomore Kade Allenbrand scored the final run of the day in the top of the seventh, scoring after sophomore Dakota Beemer was hit by a pitch. Cronin scattered four hits over seven innings while striking out six batters. Catterson went 3-for-4 with three RBI while Catlett was 2-for-3 and Cacek was 2-for-2 on the day. Maryville (1-5) plays at 4:30 p.m. Monday at East Buchanan High School.

LeBlond wasn’t done, however, as Emily Madden scored in the 75th minute after an obstruction penalty on the Maryville defense.

Mules down Cats 3 times MARYVILLE, Mo. — The Northwest baseball team dropped both games of a double header Friday to No. 19 Central Missouri, falling in game one, 9-6, then game two, 6-1, before splitting the second day of the weekend series. Both teams plated three runs in the first three innings before going scoreless the next three in the first game of the series. Central Missouri went up in the top half of the eighth inning to take a 6-3 lead before the Bearcats answered back in the bottom half with three runs to send the game to the ninth. The Mules put up three more runs in the top of the ninth and Northwest went down in order in the bottom half to fall in game one. Austin Wulff went 3-for-4 with two singles and a double while knocking in three runs. Blane Reutter suffered his first loss of the season, moving his record to 3-1. The Bearcats and Mules both plated one run each in the second inning of game two. Wulff hit his second double of the day to bring in Jon Pomatto from second. UCM then scored one run in the third and fourth innings before putting up three runs in the fifth.
Hondo Pearcy received the loss in game two as he is now 3-3 on the season. Northwest won the first game, 4-3, but fell in the second game, 9-0, on the second day of the series. Northwest is now 20-17 overall and 15-14 in MIAA play. Central Missouri moves to 29-12 on the year and 26-6 in conference action. Ryker Fox pitched a complete game for the Bearcats in game one, going all seven innings with three strikeouts. He allowed one earned run and gave up just five hits. Northwest took advantage of three Central Missouri errors early, scoring three runs in the second inning during a two-out rally. Eric McGlauflin singled and scored on a Nikko Pablo single. Brandon Huske singled in Blake Hardegree, who reached on an error, and Pablo stole home during the next at bat. In the third, Ryan Abernathy walked and scored on an Wulff double to left. Northwest was unable to solve the Mules’ pitching in the night cap, falling 9-0. Abernathy went 2-for-4 on the day. Zack Ferreira, Huske and Wulff all recorded hits for the Bearcats. Up next, the Bearcats will head to Emporia State for a four-game series with the Hornets starting on Thursday, April 17.

early in the season, if he can play well to gain confidence.” Northwest opens its championship defense on either Thursday, Sept. 4 or Saturday, Sept. 6 at Nebraska-Kearney. However, Saturday afternoon the Bearcats wrapped up their spring practice with the annual Green and White spring game. The Green squad got out to an early lead on a 27-yard field goal in the first quarter by freshman Alex Easley. Late in the second quarter of the running clock contest, rising sophomore Simon Mathiesen kicked 44 and 50-yard field goals to send the White team into halftime with a 6-3 lead. There weren’t many plays to be had for either offense as the defense limited the big play opportunities. “I think our defense is really good,” Dorrel said. “Those guys (quarterbacks) are so competitive, they want to come out and complete every pass, and it’s not going to happen against our defensive backfield, it’s not going to happen against our d-line.” That includes a re-made secondary that will be without All-MIAAers Brandon and Brian Dixon, who are awaiting their fates in next month’s NFL Draft and the undrafted free agent period. One key cog will be former MIAA Freshman of the Year Bryce Enyard, who has shifted between safety and corner during his career and should be back on the outside this season. “Yes, he’s had a good spring out there,” Dorrel said. “(Secondary coach Ken Gordon)’s been moving him back and forth. Right now, I think they’re really leaning toward putting him at corner. “All spring, I thought (the secondary) did a great job. I thought they were ¢very 75 competitive all spring. I thought they were physical, I thought they were very, very aggressive … We’re not going to change what we do, we’re just going to put

the next guys in there.” In the third quarter, Mathiesen added a 27-yard field goal to push the White team’s lead to 9-3. Both teams finally found the end zone in the fourth quarter to add a little excitement to the game. Freshman quarterback Randy Schmidt led the White offense down the field and rising sophomore Phil Jackson II finished off the drive with a three-yard touchdown dive. The Green offense answered with 20 seconds left despite being pinned deep in its own zone. Freshman quarterback Jonathan Baker threw a strike to freshman Shane Williams, who went 87 yards untouched for a touchdown to reach the final 16-10 score. Dorrel was pleased with the play and spring progression of all three of his freshmen quarterbacks — Schmidt, Baker and Brad Strauss. “I was very proud of them, I thought they came in and did a great job,” Dorrel said. “When those guys can run, that’s half their game. They’re truly dual threat guys and so in practice they’re always in red jerseys, so it was neat to see them run today because I thought they made some guys miss out in space. I think all three of those kids are gonna develop some confidence coming out of (Saturday).” Bolles agreed, saying his understudies did exactly what they were asked to do. “They just went out and played, had fun, made right reeds and that’s all that we asked was to play fast and make good decisions,” Bolles said. The Bearcats will now have a couple of weeks off to finish up finals before getting back to work for the summer session in preparation for the fall. “We’ll be able to take a couple weeks off,” Bolles said. “We’ll still have lifting and stuff, but once the summer hits, we’ll get back at it.”

Continued from Page 7 seniors. They pretty much represent every facet of our team. I’m just happy for all seven of those kids. I feel like they deserve it.” Dorrel also said it has helped Bolles’ progression playing so much last year, including starting one game and playing the majority of the Fall Classic against Pittsburg State after Adams went down with an injury. “You can simulate all those game-type situations as much as you want, but until team’s wearing a different color, you can’t really get the full effect,” Dorrel said. “I’m hoping that will really kick-start him early against Kearney. I think it’s important for a quarterback

Fulfilling a ‘Dream’
Above: Jeff Patton, second from left, of St. Joseph Beverage presented representatives of the Lettuce Dream Foundation with a check for $3,932 following Saturday’s Putt Putt Pub Crawl in Maryville. One hundred teams signed up to take part in this year’s event, making it the largest turnout in its history.

One hundred 4-person teams trekked across Maryville holing out golf balls at seven different bars to help benefit the Lettuce Dream Foundation.
Pub crawl putters raise green for Lettuce Dream By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor
Around 400 people made their way between seven Maryville watering holes on Saturday afternoon for a little drinking, socializing and golf. St. Joseph Beverage sponsored the event for the sixth or seventh straight year, said the company’s Jeff Patton, who added that the 2014 pub crawl was the biggest ever with 100 four-person teams. Patton said St. Joseph Beverage takes care of everything during the fundraiser except for building a putting green inside each of the
participating bars — The Palms, The Pub, Burny’s, Molly’s, Bearcat Lanes, The American Legion Canteen and The Elk’s Lodge. “They all have a putting green in the bar and there are teams of four,” Patton said. “They run around to all the bars and play the hole. We record their score, and they end up at their home bar again. At the end of the day, we tally up all of the scores. All of the bars have their own winning team — whoever signs up at the bar — then we have an overall winner.” Maryville resident Adam Dougherty, whose home bar is the Canteen, said the pub
crawl is a good time to socialize while helping others. “It’s a good time to socialize, hang out with friends from out of town who come back for it, and it raises money for a good cause,” he said. This year, all of the proceeds will go to the Lettuce Dream Foundation, a newly developed non-profit organization in Maryville. The Lettuce Dream Foundation’s vision is “to be Northwest Missouri’s most innovative provider of fresh, hydroponically grown produce, to be its most innovative and progressive employer of individuals with cognitive or intellectual dis-
abilities, and to be a model for other organizations who wish to replicate our employment philosophy,” according to its Facebook page. Once the foundation gets green houses built to give its unique group of potential farmers a place to work and grow crops, Patton said the local Hy-Vee supermarket is already on board to provide an outlet for “the lettuce or tomatoes or whatever they grow in there. It’s a pretty cool deal.” In the past, Patton said proceeds have gone to an autism awareness group based in St. Joseph, but that money wasn’t making it back

to Maryville. The desire to keep the cash local sparked the change, he said. “It’s not for the overall winning,” Patton said. “It’s just a fun day out, and all of the proceeds will go to the Lettuce Dream Foundation, a new foundation in
Maryville. We’re keeping all of the money in Maryville.” In all, the crawlers raised $3,932 for the Lettuce Dream Foundation, and Patton presented the organization with a check in a brief ceremony on the square following the event.

Cans and Cardboard campout
Members of the Northwest Student Dietetics Association hang out in front of their improvised shelter Friday during the Cans and Cardboard campout.
Campout helps pantry Continued from Page 6 and her fellow Kappa Pi members have an obligation to use their visual communication skills to underscore the need to take action on behalf of those who must face each day not knowing if they will eat a decent meal or sleep in a safe bed after the sun goes down. “I think we have a responsibility to raise awareness and express ideas in the community,” she said. “We can visually bring attention to this issue.” In addition to Kappa Pi, other student groups either participating in or donating food to Cans and Cardboard
included the Northwest Student Dietetics Association, Sigma Society, the Newman Center, the Phi Mu sorority and the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. Karen Kepka of Catholic Charities of Kansas City and St. Joseph also assisted with the effort by talking to the participants and “reinforcing the importance of the event,” White said. The art fraternity’s advisor, art history Professor Martha Breckenridge, was a key player as well and joined the students for the night in a homemade shelter of her own. Another faculty member, sculpture Professor Glenn Williams, crafted
a large cardboard trophy that will be awarded to the organization that brings in the most canned goods. Despite the seriousness of their cause, the campout was a festive affair this year largely due to a bit of fine spring weather. Last year, temperatures dipped below 20 degrees. Conversation, music and a simple meal of franks and chips were the order of the day. White said it was appropriate that the menu be kept simple and cheap. “We’re not ordering pizza. We’re not eating ‘glamorously,’” she said. “We’ll be eating hotdogs and lowcost foods like that.”
