Students doing some teaching at middle school By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Students and teachers switched places for a short while Monday at Maryville Middle School as sixthgraders Carson Pistole, Josie Pitts and Laura Feuerbacher took on the task of demonstrating the possible uses of an online teaching aid called “Inklewriter” to some seventh-grade faculty members. “Inklewriter” helps writers easily tell interactive stories. The website stories organized as they branch out so that student writers can focus on the writing and not the organization Provided as a free web tool from Inklestudios, the software is sup-
posed to encourage a mix computer and creative writing skills. Chelli Green, who teachers sixthgrade science, said she was first introduced to the program during a professional development course. “I’m taking a night class right now that’s for implementing technology into the classroom,” Green said. “Each week we, as students, share a project idea for the rest of the class to learn about, and one of the students shared (Inklewriter), and I thought it was a very good idea.” After learning of about the program, she introduced it during “Hound Time.” See STUDENTS Page 3

Congregation readies to serve during crisis By GARY DARLING Staff writer

Preparedness

Left: Maryville residents Jeremiah Parkhurst and Cindy Scarborugh register for the Southern Baptist Convention’s disaster relief training offered at Laura Street Baptist Church on April 11 and 12.
There was an abundance of folks wearing emergency-bright yellow shirts at Laura Street Baptist Church Friday and Saturday during the Missouri Baptist Convention’s regional disaster relief workshop, a training session for church members willing to show their faith through service to others during times of crisis. Starting with an introduction to disaster relief class offered Friday, local and regional members of the Baptist community learned how they can be there in times of disaster to offer a kind word, help dig out valued possessions and share the word of God. “After a disaster happens, large or small, we respond by putting teams of trained people together that will go out and help in a time of need,” said Dwain Carter, an MBC disaster relief specialist. “We share the love of Christ in a way that is unusual compared to how most people do.” Carter said. “That is what this weekend is all about … initial training to get involved in disaster relief.” Preparation offered included everything from using chain saws to clear trees and brush to child-care. Burlington Junction resident
James Downing attended, he said, because he has volunteered for disaster work in the past, but always felt he was just wandering around trying to help without any sense of organization or preparation. By going through the training and being on an official list of volunteers, Downing said he hopes to become an effective part of an organization that has both focus and an effective strategy for crisis response, qualities be believe will help get help the fastest to those who need it most. Responding to a disaster gives Christians an opportunity to show their faith while serving in concrete ways, he said, adding, “This training allows us to do just that but on a larger and more organized scale.” When first asked if Laura Street Baptist would host the training, the Rev. Paul McKim said he was thrilled for the church to help out. “These are teams of people who go into situations and places where desperate moments are encountered,” McKim said, “and we are honored that we could help out by providing a place that this training could take place.” For those interested in similar training, additional opportunities are planned.

Maryville woman hurt in I-29 wreck By TONY BROWN News editor
A Maryville woman suffered moderate injuries Monday in a two-vehicle collision on Interstate 29 at Dillon Creek six miles south of Savannah. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident occurred around 7:15 a.m. as Elizabeth A. Robertson, 27, Maryville, was southbound in a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer while driving in a construction zone with one-way traffic. The report stated that Robertson crossed the center line and struck a northbound 2011 Ford F-350 driven by Michael L. Bartlett, 62, St. Joseph.
Hamming it up
Merlin Atkins (center) of the Ministry Center accepts two hams from members of the Maryville Rotary Club that are symbolic of the 200 hams the club donated this week to the center to be distributed to its clients for Easter. Rotarians at the presentation included (from left) Fred VonBehren, Gene Steinmeyer, Chris Wiltfong, Rotary President Scott Moon, Mark Thomsen and Stephanie Patterson.
Robertson’s vehicle struck a bridge rail before coming to rest on the highway facing west. The Ford was knocked off the east side of the pavement, facing north. Both drivers were wearing seat belts. Robertson was taken by Andrew County ambulance to Heartland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph. The Mercury was totaled, according to the report, and was towed from the scene. Bartlett’s vehicle sustained moderate damage but remained drivable. Troopers C.M. Dollard, W.S. Sims, J.P Angle and D.R. Tyes were dispatched to work the accident.
LOCAL NEWS Agencies will offer drug disposal event
Officers from Maryville Public Safety and the Northwest Missouri State University Police Department will conduct a prescription drug disposal collection from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26, in the Maryville WalMart parking lot. According to a release issued by local law enforcement, the purpose of the collection is to gather for proper disposal potentially dangerous, expired, unused or unwanted prescription medications, some types of which are frequently finding their way into the hands of illegal drug sellers and users. Proper disposal, the release stated, also cuts down on environmental and health hazards created when such trucks are thrown into the trash or flushed down toilets. Only pills and patches will be accepted during the collection event. Liquids, “sharps” and needles are prohibited by federal Drug Enforcement Agency regulations. All drug returns are confidential with no questions asked.

University aims to cut waste during Big Green Move-Out MARYVILLE, Mo. — With the end of the school year approaching, students at Northwest Missouri State University have begun to think about moving back home from dorm rooms and off-campus apartments and houses. And they’re being encouraged to “think green” before tossing unwanted belongings into the trash through the annual Big Green MoveOut program, which kicked off last week. In addition to making it easier for students preparing for summer vacation, the ini-
tiative, which includes usedclothing and non-perishable food collections, provides a significant boost for the local Big Brothers Big Sisters youth program as well as the Nodaway County Ministry Center food pantry. The Big Green Move-Out has three phases. Clothing, media and household items will be accepted during the first stage. Bins for these items will be placed in every residence hall on campus. Clothing may also be dropped off at the blue Big Brothers Big Sisters receptacles located around
Maryville. For more information on phase one or large pick-ups, call (660) 254-1665. The second phase begins Monday, April 28, and runs through Friday, May 2. Working appliances, dressers, beds, bookcases, entertainment centers, big living room items, kitchen gear, outdoor furniture and lawn tools will be accepted. Those interested in recycling such items must place them curbside by noon on the appropriate days. Anyone seeking additional information or requesting
large pickups can call (816) 279-5607. The final phase is for nonperishable foods. Those interested in donating foodstuffs can take them to Maryville’s Ministry Center at 971 S. Main St. in Maryville. The pantry is open from 2-4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Items that will not be accepted during the moveout include mattresses, box springs, computers, hazardous materials, flammable products, weapons, auto parts and televisions.
Applications sought for school clothes
Community Services Inc. has begun accepting applications for its annual Christmas in the Summertime project, which provides children from income-eligible families with a new set of clothes prior to the start of a new school year. To participate, families must have children who will be enrolled in a Nodaway County school in grades k-12 for fall 2014. The household income qualification is set at 125 percent of the federal poverty line, meaning that a family of four can have income of approximately $29,436 and qualify. Support for the program is provided by area churches. Deadline for registration is May 30. For more information, call Community Services at (660) 582-3113.
County band sets practice schedule
The newly founded Nodaway County Band has set up a practice schedule to prepare for its performance on a to-be-announced night at the Nodaway County Fair, which takes place July 17 through 19. The band will rehearse in the Maryville High School band room. Practices will begin at 6 p.m. on the following Thursdays: April 24, May 15, June 12, July 10 and July 17. Anyone interested in participating in the band can simply attend practice or email Amy Haddock at haddockmusic@hotmail.com for more information.
Session to address underage drinking
Area residents will have an opportunity to discuss trends in underage drinking — and ways to address the problem — when Maryville Partners in Prevention, a coalition of substance abuse and wellness personnel from Northwest Missouri State University, hosts a town hallstyle meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, at the Maryville Community Center. Those interested in attending should RSVP by April 22 to Maryville Partners member Rebecca Maier at rmaier@nwmissouri.edu. “The goal for the evening is to give all residents an opportunity to learn about MVPIP, the resources we have to offer, and discuss issues they are seeing in the community pertaining to high-risk behavior and underage drinking,” Maier said.

Lobbying for a great Northwest
SUBMITTED PHOTO
State Rep. Mike Thomson, left, and state Sen. Brad Lager, third from left, greeted a group of Nodaway Countians who visited the state Capitol in Jefferson City during Great Northwest Days April 7-8. The annual lobbying event is designed to draw attention to regional issues assigned priority by officials and civic leaders from 17 northwest Missouri Counties. Among this year’s topics were water supply and wastewater infrastructure, transportation and education. Overall attendance included 200 visitors and a host of state legislators and policy makers, including fifteen senators, 78 representatives and several Executive Branch department heads. The local contingent was organized by the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce.
Nobel winner will speak at NW Continued from Page 1 organization, where she conducted research with regard to the impact of climate change on natural systems and adaptation strategies. She has taught conserva-
tion biology at the University of Michigan and air resources at the University of California-Davis. Brennan also worked as a senior conservation scientist for the U.S. Agency for International Development and as
a staff scientist for the U.S. State Department Office of Global Change. Her visit coincides with Northwest’s 20th anniversary celebration of the campus’ designation by the state Legislature as the Missouri
Arboretum. In that connection, Brennan will serve as keynote speaker during an anniversary luncheon to be followed by a ceremonial tree-planting set for 1:30 p.m. on the 21st at Forest Village Apartments.
Students teach teachers at MMS Continued from Page 1 “I implemented it through Hound Time, which is an enrichment class,” Green said. “I wanted seventhand eighth-grade teachers to learn about it too, so I thought I’d have the kids teach them.” Each student in Hound Time wrote stories as an individual or with a group and turned them into Green for her to evaluate. After making her assessment, Green selected two stories that would be presented to the rest of the faculty in order
to introduce teachers to the web tool. “During Hound Time, I read each one as the kids finished their projects and picked a variety of different projects,” Green said. The stories could be described as choose-yourown-adventure tales. Students write an opening paragraph and then present possible outcomes from what they’ve created. Once one of the outcomes is picked, they are taken to another paragraph, and so on until the conclusion of the
story. Pistole wrote a story about playing baseball, and Pitts and Feuerbacher wrote a story together about two girls being locked in a local store. Then sixth-graders were then presented with an opportunity to teach teachers how the process works. “I think they were a little apprehensive at first,” Green said. “I think it gave them a leadership role. We learn from the kids every day, but they just don’t realize that.” The teachers were also
open to the idea of the role reversal. “I think they were very open and receptive, and they thought it was neat,” Green said. Green said teachers work to provide leadership roles to students as often as possible. “We’re just trying to find lots of opportunities for kids to step up and be leaders,” she said. “I set the challenge to all the kids that they would be presenting these to other teachers, so I think it set the bar pretty high.”

FORUM FOCUS
Area officials are responding to challenge
A couple of recent stories that appeared within the past week in the Maryville Daily Forum may have caught your attention, or perhaps not. Both dealt with an unsavory subject — rape. More specifically, the articles were reports on two programs that took place last week in conjunction with the local observation of National Crime Victim Rights Week. If you are attempting to connect all the dots, the sessions were generally resultant from the now infamous Daisy Coleman saga which doused Maryville in more than its share of unfavorable light last fall. However, the programs which brought together representatives of all levels of local law enforcement, health care providers and domestic violence advocates were in the works long before Daisy Coleman became a household word. Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice helped spearhead the movement to bring all levels of respondents together to ensure they were all on the same page, not only as public safety officers, but also as human-services advisors and providers. Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker headlined one of the programs at Northwest Missouri State University to discuss how the legal systems work to protect victims. Peters Baker has a well-deserved reputation as an aggressive supporter of victims’ rights, and her program pulled no punches in outlining what the legal system can, and cannot, do when dealing with rape cases. She was adamant in her insistence that victims as well as witnesses need to cooperate to achieve a satisfactory legal conclusion. The initial sessions were somewhat sparsely attended, but the seeds of information and cooperation were planted — and will hopefully grow and eventually blossom into a fully developed help program. Even in their preliminary stage, one significant point was clear during the sessions — representatives from Nodaway County, the city of Maryville, the Missouri State Police, Northwest Missouri State University and various related support groups have responded, are responding, to the problems inherent with sexual assaults and the resulting traumas that ultimately confront victims and witnesses alike. It is a long way from being a finished product, but the victims’ support group sessions are a beginning. Getting representatives of the several groups together is a much-needed start to confronting a problem that is probably no more serious here than anywhere else, but definitely one that needs to be met squarely to prevent its worsening. And working together to clarify roles and responsibilities is a positive response to the challenge.

LEGENDS OF THE FALL
‘Grand Experiment’ coming to end at an appropriate time
Well, it’s about over. Or at least it will be by the time this hits the streets. And, no, I don’t mean my reign as Dictator of Maryville as portrayed in the Maryville Daily Forum’s recent popular April Fools Day issue. What I am talking about is my legitimate three years of service as a member of the Maryville City Council, during the last of which I was honored to have been selected to serve as mayor. It was interesting, to say the least. It was eye-opening. It was a little gut-wrenching at times. More than a little at others. It was stressful; stimulating, exasperating, exhausting, and fun, all at the same time. Selfishly, I sincerely believe that the city councils which I had the pleasure of being a member of during my three years in office have accomplished quite a significant list of achievements. I won’t begin to try to list them here, or even what might be considered the highlights. Anyone has only to look around, ever so briefly, to see the changes — I like to think of them as improvements, not just changes — that have taken place in a relatively short period of time. The city council and the evolving city staff have been busy. Very busy, achieving what has actually been accomplished. But just as importantly, they have been laying the groundwork for much more to come during the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, the man on the street doesn’t always realize the amount of work that goes into enabling a city to function at its most efficient level. Ordinances do not just magically appear on the twice-monthly city council agenda for approval or other action. More often than not, weeks, if not months, of preparation have gone into making certain that all the necessary parameters have been met when something seemingly as simple as advertising for bids for the purchase of a new mower tractor, or a patrol car for Public Safety, finally make it before the governing body.
Extrapolate the details of that moderate assignment into the development of a plan to stimulate the removal of unsatisfactory houses that have been deteriorating for far too long. Or, if that is not enough of an example to make a point, take it further — to the design, demolition and

reconstruction of a major thoroughfare, so as to inconvenience both residents and the high school as little as possible, on a dramatically restricted timetable. When I first ran for the council three years ago, I had a degree of confidence that I “knew what was going on” because during my rather lengthy career as a newspaperman, I had almost certainly covered more city meetings and reported on more city business than any of my opposition. Heck, probably more than the combined experience of those who would be seated with me on the council. I won’t say I had “an agenda” — there were some items for consideration that interested me more than others, for sure, — but I didn’t go in hellbent to get this or that accomplished at the expense of anything and everything else. I think that served me well during my terms, both as a councilperson, and then as mayor, elected from among my peers on the city council.

And without intending to mettle in the new council’s business, I hope a similar attitude can prevail as they confront their decisions. I am fortunate, however, that I am not going to be asked, or required, to withdraw from participation in city government. Don’t get me wrong. I am not going to mimic the boys in Jefferson City and Washington who immediately become lobbyists and attempt to peddle whatever influence they might retain among their most recent peers. No. And this should not be a surprise to anyone. I’m stepping out in order to again be able to look in. As a longtime journalism friend proudly claims, “I am going to be doing God’s work.” In his mind, and mine, to a great extent, the service to John Q. Public provided by local newspapers is just as important, if not more so, than that done by elected officials and administrative professionals. And, if I gained anything from my time as an elected official, it is a new insight into how things work at the city level, and how to best go about reporting them so as to be of the best service to my fellow citizens, our readers. Don’t look for any exposés, real or manufactured. Rather, you can anticipate an even broader coverage of happenings in our community that have an impact on our day-today lives. I will, hopefully, ask questions that will generate responses, and information, that will result a betterinformed citizenry. And if you have questions you would like asked, please do not hesitate to contact me so we can discuss them as well. In conclusion, I do have one more thing to say about my city council time. “Thank you, Maryville, for affording me a comparatively small role in helping to establish our town as a good community, now and into the future. It has been an honor, and it has been my pleasure to serve on your behalf. “I will always be grateful for the trust you placed with me.”

‘Focus on Missouri Agriculture’
KANDIE LAGER, 2013 CONTEST ENTRY
Nodaway County resident Kandie Lager submitted this photo ‘Old Glory in the Fog’ to the 2013 Missouri Agriculture photo contest. The contest provides an opportunity for amateur photographers across the state to submit images of agriculture.
Missouri Agriculture photo contest captures best of farm, rural life (JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.) – The Missouri Department of Agriculture today launched the fifth annual ‘Focus on Missouri Agriculture’ contest, asking Missourians to share the unique stories and images of agriculture through photographs. The contest, which runs now through June 30, is an opportunity for amateur photographers across the state to submit their best images of agriculture – from a beautiful Missouri farm, to a farm tractor that has been in the family for years and the fun and excitement of a child at agritourism operation. “Every Missouri farm has
a story to tell, from the rich history of agriculture to the hard work of farm families,” said Director of Agriculture Richard Fordyce. “And I look forward to seeing Missourians’ outstanding talent come through in their photos of farm fields, livestock, equipment and our farm families.” The ‘Focus on Missouri Agriculture’ photo contest is open to Missouri’s amateur photographers of all ages. Participants may enter up to three photos in each of the five categories. Categories include: The Beauty of the Farm, Faces of the Farm, The Farming Life and The Pride of the Farm. The Children’s Barn-
yard a special category for budding photographers ages 12 and under, is back for the 5th annual contest as well. Entries will be judged on visual impact, creativity, memorable content and image quality. The contest offers big prizes and many chances to win, thanks to the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s AgriMissouri program. An AgriMissouri gift basket valued at $100 will be award to the first place winner in each of the four categories. The winner of the Children’s Barnyard category will receive a special gift basket filled with $100-worth of child-friend-
ly items from AgriMissouri. An AgriMissouri gift basket valued at $250 will be award to the Best of Show. Winners will also receive canvas prints of their winning shot. Winners will be announced at the 2014 Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, Aug. 7-17, and the images will be displayed during the State Fair in the Agriculture Building. For a complete list of rules and guidelines, visit agriculture.mo.gov/focus. Photos submitted to the contest will be placed on the contest website and available on the Department’s Flickr stream. Photos must be submitted by June 30.

Friday’s classic car night in the ’Ville
Collectors roll out classic automobiles for spring car show By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
DAILY FORUM PHOTOS BY STEVE HARTMAN
Time to show off
Clockwise from immediately above: These two Hudson sedans, both from the early 1930’s, drew considerable attention from onlookers. Wing doors, hot yellow paint and lots of high-performance extras made this 1976 Meyers Manx SR 2 one of the stars of the show. A lineup of the early arrivals. A 1967 Ford Mustang was one of the restored automobiles on display. As American as hotdogs and apple pie, this restored Chevrolet engine had all the right stuff.
The first of several spring and summer car shows took place Friday evening in the Maryville McDonald’s parking lot. A number of classic and customized autos were on display, wheeled in by both club members and individual collectors. Among the exhibitors was Jerry Nickle of the Friday Night Cruisers Club, who explained the schedule for the spring and summer shows. “The second Friday of every month we will be here at McDonald’s,” Nickle said. “Then, the third Friday of each month during the spring and summer we’ll have a show the third Friday of each month in the parking lot of Maryville Burger King.” Nickle said anyone with a restored classic car is welcome to take part. “Now that the weather is getting better, we’re all anxious to get our cars out and show them off,” Nickle said.

New teams bring about new baseball conference By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
When three area schools decided to offer baseball as a sport for the current school year, it created opportunities and dilemmas. One dilemma was conference affiliation. Thanks to some creative thinking by some of the athletic directors involved, that problem was quickly resolved with the formation of the Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference. “Once (North Nodaway athletic director) Tim Conn and I confirmed that both our schools would be offering baseball in 2013-14, we started discussing what we should do in terms of conference affiliation,” West Nodaway athletic director Roger Johnson said. “Then Tarkio, which had planned to co-op with Fairfax for some

sports in 2014-15 decided to start the co-op arrangement this year and add baseball as East Atchison County. All of a sudden, we had three new baseball teams.” All three of the new teams had affiliations with the Highway 275 Conference. However, they were also the only three 275 Conference members who fielded baseball teams, which presented a problem. “We were the only three teams in the 275 who were going to be playing baseball,” Johnson said. “And according to the conference constitution, that’s not enough teams to be recognized as a conference sport.” South Nodaway and Northeast Nodaway, two Platte Valley Conference schools, had already been playing baseball for a few years, so Johnson talked with Bluejay athletic director and baseball coach
Vance Proffitt about the situation. “Roger Johnson and I talked during basketball season,” Proffitt said. “We thought we should get together and start a conference to help our student-athletes get recognized for playing baseball.” From these discussions, the Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference was born. The five initial conference members are East Atchison County (the Tarkio/ Fairfax co-op), North Nodaway, Northeast Nodaway, South Nodaway and West Nodaway. All of the schools will compete at the Class 1 level for all district and state competition except East Atchison County, which competes at the Class 2 level. “Because the conference was formed so late, this year we’re only playing each other once,” Johnson said. “But starting next

year, we will play home and home dates with each conference member, so eight games are scheduled immediately, which is a great help when putting together a baseball schedule. “Plus, the foundation is already in place if more schools in the area choose to add baseball. We have room to grow.” Proffitt, North Nodaway coach Andrew Webster and East Atchison coach Casey Martin all like the new conference arrangement for the same combination of reasons. “It allows our kids to get recognition for playing baseball,” Martin said. “Plus, we need to be playing people who are on our competitive and experience levels, and the conference allows that to happen.” “The conference is a good, posi-
Turn on one
tive thing,” Webster said. “Having baseball gives more kids an opportunity to play a sport.” “I know that my athletes like being able to compete against area schools that they know instead of bigger schools they only face in baseball,” Proffitt said. “I like that we will be able to get our studentathletes postseason recognition for their success on the baseball field.” Proffitt said the three new schools (East Atchison, North Nodaway and West Nodaway) helped sell the idea of a new conference to administration and school boards at the respective schools. “The three new schools had a huge impact on making the conference,” Proffitt said. “It was a huge selling point for those schools to keep their baseball programs alive for future years.”

A BACKWARD GLANCE …
Brothers in arms — Servicemen’s edition EDITOR’S NOTE: Maryville resident Ed Hurayt, an enthusiastic collector of guns, military gear and other artifacts, recently purchased a box of old newspapers at auction — including a stack of decadesold editions of the Maryville Daily Forum. Ed was kind enough to donate the papers to the current MDF, and we thought our readers might enjoy reading some of the stories from these yellowing pages that offer glimpses into Maryville’s past. The Forum will run selections from the papers each week along with an image of the front page.
August, 1943 Brothers back in uniform Of the five Ross brothers, originally of Quitman, who were in World War No. 1, three are now serving their country in the armed forces. And one of these, Lt. Delno W. Ross, installed the bombsight on Gen. Doolittle’s medium bomber. The five are sons of James L. (“Chas.”) Ross, who now lives in Burlington Junction. Besides Lt. Delno Ross, the others are: Oppie H. Ross, Braddyville; Leslie C. Ross, Burlington Junction; Lt. Wade H. Ross, somewhere in Africa; and Warrant Of-
ficer Robert A. Ross, also in the AEF in Africa. But this doesn’t complete the picture: Oppie H. Ross has a son, Pvt. William O. Ross, who is in training at Washington University, St. Louis. The accompanying photograph was taken the spring following World War No.1 after the brothers had returned home and it shows the kind of uniforms they then wore. Three in Air Corps Of these six, three are serving in the air corps. They are Lt. Wade H., Lt. Delno W., and Warrant Officer Robert A. Ross. Lt. Delno Ross is stationed at
Lowry field, Denver. Thus, it can be seen by the addresses that Oppie H. and Leslie C. Ross are the brothers home in Nodaway County keeping up production on the home front. During World War No. 1, Lt. Wade H. Ross took part in five major battles and now is with the ordnance department of the air corps. He is married and his wife is living at Bismarck, N. D. Lt. Delno Ross also is married and his wife lives at St. Joseph. Warrant Officer Ross is with a troop carrier squadron. He is married and his wife and three sons live at

Burlington Junction. During his travels Robert A. Ross has been in Egypt and Palestine. In the early part of War No. 2, Robert and Delno were in the Hawaiian and Philippines while Wade Ross also saw service in the Philippines Identical Barrett Twins serve Richard Manville and Robert Mark Barrett, 19-year-old twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd R. Barrett of Skidmore, are very fond of the chaplain they knew while stationed at Kessler Field, Miss. The boys were inducted at Leavenworth, Kas., March 10, and were sent to Gulfport Field, Miss. From there they were sent to Kessler Field. And for the first time in their nineteen years together, they were about to be separated when Richard’s name appeared on the shipping out list.

You will have to strike a balance between your business aspirations and your personal relationships. If you chase your financial goals too strenuously, you could alienate the person who means the most to you. Treat both with equal importance. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Use common sense if you are going to mix business with pleasure. Your work prospects may be damaged if you are indiscreet. Rumors and speculation could ruin your reputation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are well on your way to achieving your goals. Stay on track. Be proud of your hard work and don’t listen to negative remarks from friends or family members. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Treat yourself to something nice. A moneymaking opportunity could be hidden in an old idea. Revive past goals and get working on a project or pastime that you’ve ignored for too long. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A home improvement project will go smoothly if you get everyone to pitch in. The younger members of the family will enjoy being included. Find some small tasks for them and enjoy the teamwork. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Get out of your comfort zone with a new sport or exercise. The increased activity will help your body and mind stay in top shape. An unscheduled trip could result in a romantic relationship.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Make sure your explanations are crystal clear. A misinterpreted remark could cause a rift with a friend or colleague. Be especially careful when operating machinery or equipment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You have been lax about following your fitness goals. Get back on track or you will be battling weakness and pounds that you’d thought conquered. A romantic involvement is likely. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A friend or family member is likely to complain. Get your chores out of the way, even if you are feeling under the weather, and avoid an argument. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Attending an intellectual event will bring you into contact with influential people. Be truthful about your qualifications in order to gain inside information. A career change could be in the offing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Seek professional help if you are having a problem that appears too difficult to handle on your own. Focus on how you can make your relationship with others better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Your monetary situation is due for a shakeup. Lady Luck is looking out for you. Financial gains are apparent if you follow your instincts. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Added stress is causing mistakes that could end up costing you financially, emotionally or physically. Make sure to get lots of rest before taking on more responsibility.
Dick Gregory, a comedian, social activist and writer, said, “I wouldn’t mind paying taxes -- if I knew they were going to a friendly country.” On tax day in the United States, let’s examine a deal that ought not to be taxing for someone who remembers the bidding. First, though, look at the South hand. West deals and opens one club. After two passes, what should South do? In this balancing seat, the meanings for three of South’s bids change. The first is a one-no-trump overcall. It is no longer strong. Now it is weak, showing 11 to an unappealing 15 points. North then wisely passes, leaving South in one no-trump. How should he plan the play after West leads his fourth-highest club and East puts up the jack? Note that with a strong notrump, South would double first and hope to rebid one no-trump on the next round (if an eight-card majorsuit fit was not revealed). Here, that would be easy. But if West’s opening bid were one of a major, South might be forced to rebid two no-trump, which is uncomfortably high. Then, a balancing one-notrump overcall might contain a poor 16 points. South has only four top tricks. The best chance for the extra tricks lies in diamonds. From the bidding, West is a heavy favorite to hold the ace. So declarer should win the second (or first) club trick in his hand with the ace and lead a low diamond to dummy’s king. After it wins, he returns a diamond and plays low from his hand. When the ace comes tumbling down, South has seven tricks: two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs.
