Tax cut could hurt funding for education
STEVE HARTMAN/DAILY FORUM
Which came first?
Liam and Declan Darling, members of the crack Maryville Daily Forum Easter investigative staff, demonstrate the common belief that chickens, and not bunnies, have a relationship with eggs — a fact that some folks seem to have trouble keeping in mind during the Easter holiday.
Which one came first, Easter bunny or the egg? By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
What came first, the bunny or the egg? And whatever happened to the Easter chicken? These age-old questions emerge once a year during the Easter celebration when chickens seem to be pushed out of their normal relationship with eggs in favor of the soft, cuddly Easter bunny. A common season for festivals of all kinds since the earliest advent of civilization, Easter season in the Christian world most notably marks the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament. The Rev. Scott Moon of the Maryville United Methodist Church explains it this way. “There are certain universal themes in life,” Moon said, “and one theme is life itself. Universally we celebrate
spring because it represents life, especially after a long winter such as the one we’ve just experienced.” Moon went on to explain how, in his opinion, the rabbit and not the chicken got connected to the egg as a symbol of Easter. “If you think of Easter as a celebration of spring and life, then people looked around for symbols to represent life,” Moon said. “In German culture, the rabbit emerged as a symbol of Easter, and that’s understandable. Rabbits are usually spotted hopping around in the spring once winter is over, so they have an association with spring. “In addition, rabbits breed profusely, so they became a natural symbol of spring, and therefore, renewed life.” The egg, like the rabbit, is another strong symbol of life, and so has become a well-known symbol of Easter and rebirth as well.
“The egg is a perfect symbol of life for Christianity,” Moon said. “It represents life within a tomb. God wants us to break out of our shell, so the egg is a perfect symbol. Plus, I believe God wants us to have fun, and nothing is more fun than watching a group of children on an Easter egg hunt.” Moon could only speculate on why the chicken failed to become an Easter symbol, despite its close “relationship” to the egg. “I can only speculate, but I’m guessing our ancestors just didn’t view the chicken as a sign of spring and renewed life,” Moon said. As you celebrate the Easter holiday in whatever fashion you do, enjoy the bunnies and the eggs and their oncea-year relationship, but don’t forget to think about the poor, forgotten chicken — perhaps fried, baked or barbecued for Easter dinner with a plate of deviled eggs.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Setting up a likely veto showdown, the Republican-led Missouri Legislature gave final approval Wednesday to an income tax cut for millions of individuals and thousands of business owners that Democratic Gov.

CAPITOL NEWS Jumping jack bill proposed
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers are considering official designation for the jumping jack. A bill is proposing to make the jumping jack Missouri’s official state exercise. Missouri-born Gen. John J. “Black Jack” Pershing is credited as inventing jumping jacks as a training drill for cadets when he taught at West Point in the late 1800s. The proposal is supported by students at Pershing Elementary School in St. Joseph. The legislation has cleared the House and will be considered by a state Senate committee.
Drug program renewed
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Senate has endorsed legislation to renew an expiring prescription drug benefit for over 200,000 low-income and disabled seniors. The Missouri Rx Program is scheduled to expire in August, but the measure endorsed on Wednesday would extend the benefit until 2017. State officials estimate more than 9 million prescription drug claims will be filed for 230,000 Missourians during the current budget year. Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon has called on lawmakers to renew the program. The bill would also allow doctors to write epinephrine prescriptions to some locations, including restaurants and amusement parks. Those places could then keep an emergency supply of the drug that treats severe allergic reactions.

Steiner headed for debate finals INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Maryville High School senior David Steiner put in a distinguished performance during the Heart of America District Congress debate competition April 7. Steiner was one of 50 “senators” at the tournament, which took place at Van Horn High School in Independence. In congressional debate, students debate bills and resolutions as if they were members of the U.S. Congress. Participating schools submit mock legislation, which is shared among contestants who research the topics while preparing to argue both side of any given issue. After two rounds, the top 24 legislators advanced to a Super Session where Steiner finished second overall. That means he will now advance to the national Congressstyle event in Overland Park, Kan., June 15-20. The other student advancing was from Liberty High School. Also from MHS, Jonathan Rogers competed in the House portion of the event along with 125 other students and advanced to the Super Session as well, finishing sixth over-all but missing the top-four cut for a trip to Kansas.
“Jonathan has been a great competitor for MHS this season,” said Trudy Kinman, MHS speech and debate coach, said. ”He always advances to the finals. However, he finishes right behind the state qualifiers or the national qualifiers. I am always impressed how Jonathan accepts ‘being close’ and goes on to congratulate others. He truly shows good sportsmanship.” In the Senate, Steiner debated bills and resolutions that dealt with standardized testing, single-gender classrooms, pay for college athletes, hydraulic fracturing, arming teachers, NASA funding, electronic textbooks, voting age and North Korea. “David is a natural for competing in Congress,” Kinman said. “He is wellread, thinks quickly on his feet and has the endurance to debate for hours. This is quite an accomplishment.” As a national competitor at MHS, Steiner joins Kendra Henggeler and B. J. Sudhoff, who advanced to the National Forensics League’s nationwide competition earlier in the season. It was been the first year MHS has sent students to national-level meets since 2008.

Pictured from left are Kathryn Rice, Diane Ashbaugh, Christopher Davison, JoDee Lantz, Carl Ashbaugh, Milt Sovereign, Harold and Janis Duryea.
Cut could affect funds Continued from Page 1 consideration is currently being given to legislation that has a very real potential of limiting the general revenue that can be invested in education at all levels including public higher education. Any disruption in our state’s general revenue available for appropriation will have a direct and negative impact on our students and our ability and obligation to deliver on our commitment to the State of Missouri and its citizens.” The tax cuts would be phased in over five years, starting in 2017, as long as Missouri’s revenues keep growing. More than 2 million families and individuals could get an income tax cut, with as many as 500,000 of those receiving an extra break because of their businesses. Legislative researchers put the eventual cost to state revenue at $620 million annually, though other estimates range from $569
million to $800 million. Republicans contend a tax cut would be good for Missouri’s economy, particularly as it competes for businesses with neighboring states that have enacted their own recent tax cuts. Maryville Rep. Mike Thomson is among those supporting the legislation. “Last year was too big of a bite with some of the bad things in it,” said Thomson, who sided with Nixon’s veto last year. “But at this point and time, I’m OK with this bill.” Nationwide, about a dozen states passed income tax cuts last year as revenues began rebounding from the Great Recession. Several more states already have cut taxes this year, including Democratic-led New York and Republican-led Wisconsin. If Nixon vetoes the bill, the Legislature could attempt to override him before the session ends May 16 or could wait on the results of August special elections
for several vacant seats in hopes of re-establishing a two-thirds GOP majority for a veto override attempt in September. The legislation would gradually cut Missouri’s top individual income tax rate from 6 percent to 5.5 percent and phase in a new 25 percent deduction for business income reported on personal tax returns. The incremental tax cuts would occur only if state revenues rise by at least $150 million. The bill also would increase a tax deduction for low-income residents and adjust Missouri’s tax brackets based on inflation. The bill Nixon vetoed last year included a similar reduction in the top individual income tax rate but a larger tax break for businesses and lower-income individuals and a smaller revenuegrowth trigger. A drafting error also would have imposed a state sales tax on prescription drugs.

FROM THE PULPIT
Candy, clothes, or the cross?
By Rev. Dave Oddi
Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church
What a wonderful time of year! When I talk to people around Maryville I hear that almost everyone is anxious for spring to really show its stuff. Everyone is ready for warmer weather, for the trees and the flowers to bloom and for that wonderful sense of new life in the air. Spring is also the time of year when Christians celebrate Easter. People in the secular world celebrate Easter, but in a very different way. We can remember how each Christmas we will hear the slogan, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” Sometimes I get the impression that we forget all about Jesus at Easter. What is it that many people think about at Easter? For the kids, isn’t it the Easter basket? They anxiously anticipate waking up on Easter morning to a big basket of marshmallow peeps, jelly beans, and chocolate bunnies; all resting on a bed of artificial grass. For adults it might be a new spring dress, a new pair of shoes, or a new suit. We can’t wait to show them off at church on Easter Sunday. Or, is it just to celebrate that spring has arrived and getting out into the yard or garden and planting and seeing new life growing up at our fingertips? Is this what Easter is all about, or is it really about something else? I would humbly submit to you that Easter is about something else. Many of us look forward to a full Easter basket, a full closet, or a full plate at Easter dinner. But I would tell you that Easter is all about something that is empty; an empty tomb. Just as Jesus is the reason for the season at Christmas, He is the reason for the Easter season as well. As wonderful as Christmas is; it doesn’t mean a whole lot to us without the events of Good Friday and Easter. Jesus’ own words coming to us in the Gospel of Mark 10:45 read, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Jesus was born for the purpose of giving up His life on the cross to make atonement for the sins of the world; that doesn’t just mean the sins of “the evil people” out in the world; that means He died to pay for your sins and my sins. This idea flies in the face of what many people believe. People are quick to assert that they are “a good person” or that they believe that “people are basically good.” But God’s Word tells us something entirely different. 1 John 1:8 reads, “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Romans 3:23 reads, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” We see the truth in these verses in the events we see happening all around us; the shootings at the Jewish Community Center in Kansas City being just the latest example. Of course that is an extreme example, but what about our “little white lies”? What about the off-color jokes we laugh at or tell to fit in? What about our disregard for the needs of others in the community? These are sins. They witness to the truth of our sinfulness and need for what Jesus did over Good Friday and Easter. We may indeed look forward to candy, clothes, or another springtime gift, but we have already received the greatest gift of all at the Cross. This gift is the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. Jesus was not an unwitting victim of circumstance who was accidentally put to death on a Cross. Jesus came for that express purpose. Jesus died in our place to pay the debt we owed for our sins. This might sound cruel, but Christ’s death on the Cross shows God’s great love for us. John 3:16 says it all, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” Spring is the season of new life. Easter is when we thank God for the new life we have received in Jesus. The tomb is empty! Because Jesus lives, we live! Alleluia, He is risen! He is risen indeed, Alleluia! A blessed Easter to you all.

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY
Now that you’ve paid taxes, where does your money go?
Well, was it exciting for you? The beating of the heart, the excitement, the stiffness of the hand as you wrote out the check to the Internal Revenue Service all because this week saw the annual revenue sharing deadline for our federal taxes. Those of you getting a refund probably let the day pass without much thought because you filed well before the deadline. Lucky you. What do all those taxes buy, though? Let me give you a quick rundown. First we must remember that the federal budget is divided into two major parts: mandatory expenditures, and the discretionary budget that Congress passes and spends. The mandatory budget is basically the trust funds called Social Security and Medicare. These are self-funded programs paid for by payroll deduction — that funny slot on your check that says FICA. You pay in while working and get the benefits as per law — Social Security has age and disability rules; Medicare is automatic coverage of basic health care at age 65. It is the rest of the budget that is up to Congress to spend. The money comes from income, corporate, and a few miscellaneous taxes. Borrowing comes into play when income does not equal spending. That’s around 7 percent of the budget this year. Where does the money go, then? Here is where some people try to confuse us by lumping the mandatory budgets with the discretionary budgets. They do this to hide the fact that what Congress spends is overwhelm-
ingly in the area of military defense. You may read elsewhere that military spending is only 27 percent of the national spending and health care is 22.7 percent. And this is true, IF you add in the mandatory Social Security and health trust funds. If you stick to what Congress can spend, the military budget portion skyrockets to 57 percent. Ed-
Richard Fulton ucation, veterans benefits, and the total cost of running government is only 6 percent each of Congress’ budget. Housing and community affairs, along with health programs separate from Medicare (mostly Medicaid costs) get 5 percent each from Congress. International affairs, energy and environment programs, transportation, and science support get 3 per-
cent each. Incidentally, the gas tax is another trust fund that must be spent on roads and public transportation. Labor programs get 2 percent and food and agriculture supports add up to one percent. So you could say that the federal government, aside from the trust fund areas, is all about defense. Congress spends more on defense than the next 14 nations combined. Why? Read the papers. Members of Congress are pushing upgrades to military bases (many the military says it doesn’t need) and new and expensive weaponry (some of which the military does’t want). Every member of Congress wants military spending in their district/ state. Even this newspaper in a recent editorial wanted more military spending for our state and praised our politicians for trying to get it. But the simple truth is, these same politicians holler and scream about the national debt and want to cut the budget. None talk about cutting defense, though. And if you don’t want to cut what is 57 percent of the discretionary budget that Congress has complete control of — well you just aren’t serious about the national debt. In all this, remember low percentages are still large amounts of money. The discretionary budget this year is about $2.24 trillion. That’s with a “t.” Congress needs to talk about reforming the funding for the mandatory budget areas of Social Security and Medicare, too. Solutions for attacking our money problems of both budgets are desperately needed, but there always seems to be an election coming.
LOCAL COLUMNIST
Comicon: To be a kid again Author’s note: This is the last in a three-part series on my day at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, Mo. Lacey Ballew, a nursing student from Kansas City, stood in jean shorts and white crop top, “1 UP” written across her chest. She wore a homemade green mushroom button on her head. Dressing like that was OK, she was at Planet Comicon. Ballew smiled as Rick Drapal, from Lincoln Neb., snapped her picture, thanked her and moved on. “How often does someone ask to take your picture?” I asked the 21-year-old dressed as an extra-life mushroom from Super Mario Brothers. She smiled. “About every five minutes.” This was Ballew’s first time at the comic book and pop culture convention. She was there with her mother Diana Ballew and sister, Misty, 24. Misty’s an old pro, she’s been here twice. Ballew wasn’t the only convention goer in costume. Far from it. People were dressed like characters from Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, zombies, super heroes, video games, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Pokémon and, oh my, more Jokers than I could count. Four-year-old Jedi Knight Liam Eppich walked by with his father Johnny (Obi Wan) Eppich from Pawnee City, Neb. “It’s his fifth Planet Comicon,” Johnny Eppich said, and the two Jedis disappeared into the crowd, presumably to protect the Republic. I was on my way to Celebrity Row. The popularity of autograph queues for the celebrities varied. The wait was short for Femi Taylor, Jabba the Hutt’s slave dancer from “Return of
the Jedi.” As was that for Sylvester McCoy, a former Dr. Who and the wizard Radagast the Brown in the recent “The Hobbit” movies. The lengths of queues for the “Star Trek” stars, however, were right out of Disneyland. The cast of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” sat in a line
Jason Offutt of tables crowed with fans (Patrick Stewart wasn’t there, apparently because he still has a job). At the end of the row sat the biggest “Star Trek” draw. William Shatner, captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise. “How much are autographs,” I asked a man walking away from Shatner’s table with a signed picture. “Seventy-five bucks.” Yikes. That’s not happening. I have children. “Excuse me,” I said to a member of Comicon security standing at the end of the Shatner line. “May I get a picture of Mr. Shatner signing an autograph for a fan?” He jerked his head to the side. “I’ll have to ask him.” ‘Him’ was a Cro magnon beast I’d thought had become extinct at the end
of the last Ice Age. The giant man shook his shaggy blond head. Apparently, no $75, no Shatner. A few rows down sat one of my other childhood heroes, Lee Majors. Security led me right up to his table as he signed an autograph for Frank Cardello of Independence, Mo. Cardello’s wife Marie stood back to take a picture of them. As Cardello started to stand, Majors put a hand on his shoulder and pointed at me. “No. You gotta wait for him,” Majors said. “You’re going to be in the paper.” Awesome. As the Six Million Dollar Man, I watched Majors battle a robotic Bigfoot and save America from the evils of communism. It was good to know he was a nice guy, too. “We’ve been here for three days taking it all in,” Cardello said as we walked away from Majors. “We usually dress in costume, so there are people who want pictures with us,” Marie Cardello said. “But there are people we want to get pictures with, too.” Just like every one else here. As I walked toward the door on my way out of Planet Comicon, I stopped to snap a photograph of Dallas Carr of Wichita, dressed as Marvel’s Wolverine. He squatted to mock fight threeyear-old Xander Byers of Wichita. And why not? Byers was dressed as the Incredible Hulk. “It’s about projecting your childhood along to children who are impressed with superheroes just like you were,” Carr said of the costumes. “It’s just a chance to be a kid again.” I can’t wait for next year. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com.

Breaking the Cycle Ruth Berenda & Associates conducted an experiment: several groups – with 10 students in each group – were brought into a classroom and given a simple test. They viewed a series of slides and raised their hands to indicate which line was the longest line on each slide. However, another variable was added to this experiment. Before the test was given, nine of the ten students – in each group – were secretly instructed to ignore the instructions they were given in the classroom, and to raise their hands when the second longest line was identified. Hmm, very interesting! Try to imagine that you’re the one student who wasn’t informed of this change. Imagine that you and your peers are looking at a slide, similar to the one pictured here. Line D is obviously the longest, but everyone else identifies Line B. What would you do? Would you hold out for Line D? Berenda & Associates found that 75% of the students – who did not receive the secret instructions – looked around, and seeing that the other nine students had raised their hands they raised their hands, too. Three out of four students decided it was more important to fit in than be truthful. Such is the diabolical power of peer pressure. Few people have the courage and character to stand out from the crowd, even when they know the crowd is wrong. Peer pressure never ends. It is as old as Adam & Eve. You wanna bite of this fruit, too, don’t you . . . big fella? Peer pressure is a form of spiritual gravity which pulls us down. Will you take this lesson seriously? Will you own up to the things you do, in order to fit in? God can empower us to break our cycle of giving in to peer pressure. Here is how He might do so. First: If we want God to break our cycle of sin, we must embrace our weakness.God strengthens people who are humble enough to admit they’re weak. II Corinthians 12:9 says, But [the Lord] said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. James 4:6b warns and promises, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Until we realize how weak we are, God won’t make us strong. Second: If we want God to break our cycle of sin, we must forsake our strengths. Samson possessed physical power, but the character of a chump. He is the guy empty women adored and shallow men admired. Eventually, he is deceived by a woman who is as shallow as he and is captured, abused and enslaved by his enemies. As many have said and experienced; sin is always blinding, binding and grinding. (See: Judges 16:20-21) Yet, God selects Samson as His avenger, because He knows that he will eventually come to Him in weakness and plead for strength. (See: Judges 16:23-30) Until we see how foolishly we use our power, God won’t give us real strength. May we decide to learn from the experiment by Berenda & Associates! May we decide to stop looking around and start looking to God. May we decide to embrace our weakness and forsake our strengths in pursuit of God. If we’re ever to be the people God intends for us to be, we must understand that we cannot stand out by fitting in and that standing out usually means standing alone.

QUOTABLE “We’re learning to be a team and it’s tough. We spend a lot of time focusing on fundamentals, but it takes time. That’s the main thing. It takes time, effort, love and elbow grease. That’s what we try to preach around here.” -North Nodaway baseball coach Andrew Webster

Longhorns pick up 1st conference victory By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Drive ’em in
JASON LAWRENCE/DAILY FORUM
Page 7
The Longhorns picked up their first-ever Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference win on Thursday behind strong pitching by junior Quentin Ebrecht. Ebrecht pitched seven innings, gave up one earned run, struck out 13 batters, gave up six hits and walked two. “I’m very proud of that kid,” South Nodaway coach Aaron Murphy said. “He’s been through a lot and he’s showing his resilience right now. He pitched a heck of a game and I’m proud of him.” North Nodaway sophomore Koby Reynolds also pitched a strong game, but the defense behind him couldn’t keep up. Reynolds pitched seven innings, gave up three earned runs, 13 hits, struck out 11 and walked one. The strong pitching wasn’t enough for the Mustangs, though, who lost the game 8-2. Both defenses played strong through the first three innings, but the Mustangs led 2-1. In the top of the fourth, the Longhorns scored four runs, including an RBI double from Ebrecht. “When something bad happens, we have
a tough time overcoming that,” North Nodaway coach Andrew Webster said. “I thought Koby did great tonight pitching and only gave up three earned runs, but we will get there.” The Longhorns tacked on one run in each of the next three innings to grab the win. “We needed that,” Murphy said. “Our boys showed resilience today and I’m proud of them for that.” At the plate, South Nodaway junior Trestan McGeorge was 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. For North Nodaway, Reynolds tallied the only RBI for the team while going 3-for-3 at the dish. “We’re learning to be a team and it’s tough,” Webster said. “We spend a lot of time focusing on fundamentals, but it takes time. That’s the main thing. It takes time, effort, love and elbow grease. That’s what we try to preach around here.” South Nodaway moved to 3-4 on the season and will play its next game at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 22 at home against Tarkio. North Nodaway fell to 1-6 with their loss. The Mustangs’ next game will also be at home, against Northeast Nodaway at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 23.
Northeast Nodaway junior shortstop Garet Jackson drives in a run in the fourth inning of the Bluejays’ 7-0 victory over West Nodaway Thursday night. Jackson went 2-for-4 at the plate and drove in a run to help the Jays improve to 5-3 on the year.
Faustlin shuts down Rockets
By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Junior right-hander Andrew Faustlin limited Northwest Missouri Baseball Conference foe West Nodaway to one hit while striking out 13 in leading the Bluejays of Northeast Nodaway to a 7-0 victory over the Rockets Thursday night. Faustlin gave up a leadoff single to Rockets’ junior Trevor Meyer in the bottom of the first, then shut the door on West Nodaway the rest of the day. “I was able to locate all of my pitches pretty well today,” Faustlin said. “I got a little off in the fifth (when he walked three hitters) but Shaun (Burns, the Northeast catcher) helped me get back on track. “Shaun has been my catcher for a long time, and he knows me pretty well.” Northeast Nodaway grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first as junior Garet Jackson reached on a one-out single, then advanced to second base on a West Nodaway error. With two outs, freshman first baseman Rowdy West’s RBI single plated Jackson. In the third, the Bluejays touched up Rocket sophomore starting pitcher Bryson Smith for two more runs, as sophomore Max Giesken reached on an error and advanced on to third on Jackson’s second hit of the contest. Faustlin’s RBI single brought Giesken home and Jackson scored on a Rocket error to extend the lead to 3-0. In the fourth, sophomore Korey Adwell reached base on an error and advanced to third on a single by Giesken. At this point, West Nodaway coach Bryce Buholt went to his bullpen and replaced Smith with Meyer. Jackson’s ground out scored
Adwell, giving the Bluejays a 4-0 lead. West Nodaway’s biggest threat to score came in the fifth inning. Sophomore Treston Sanders drew a walk to lead off the inning, but was forced out at second on a ground ball by senior Zach Harris. Senior Jonathon Madere and Smith then drew walks to load the bases with only one out. After a strikeout, Meyer came to the plate and drove a ball to deep right-center field. Senior Joel Scroggie raced over into the gap and made the running catch, saving at least three runs and recording the third out. Northeast Nodaway, now 5-3 on the season, capped off the scoring in the seventh, as base hits by freshman Andrew Freemyer and Burns mixed with four Rocket errors produced three runs, creating the final 7-0 margin. Bluejay coach Vance Proffitt was happy with the victory, but wants to see more of the same in upcoming games. “It’s a big win for us because it’s a conference and district win,” Proffitt said. “But we want them all. “Andrew pitched well tonight, and Joel’s play in right field was huge, because Meyer hit the ball hard all night.” Buholt found some bright spots with his squad, but was frustrated with the overall effort. “I know we’re young and inexperienced, but we’re better than a 2-3 team,” Buholt said. “We have some very good athletes, but we need improve our focus and intensity.” Both squads are back in action Monday. Northeast Nodaway travels to Plattsburg to take on the Tigers, while West Nodaway will host East Atchison County. Both games are scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m.
Smith announces 3 signings MARYVILLE, Mo. — Northwest women’s basketball coach Michael Smith announced the signings of three players to National Letters of Intent on Thursday afternoon for the 2014-15 roster. The additions include Alexa Schaaf (El Dorado) Morgan Walker (Rembrandt, Iowa) and Samantha Hurst (Harrisonville). Schaaf is a 5-9 guard who was an alldistrict and an all-state performer for El Dorado Spring High School. She averaged 20 points and eight rebounds per game. “Alexa is a tall guard that can really shoot it,” Smith said. “She brings a high basketball IQ and a winning mentality to our program. She led her team to the 3A state title this year and leaves as her school’s all-time leading scorer with over 1,600 points.” Walker is a 5-10 wing player who will head to Northwest after playing two seasons for North Iowa Area Community College, where she was a second team all-region team. Walker, who averaged 10 points and seven rebounds per game, was also named to the Region XI All-Tournament
team. She is from Rembrandt, Iowa, where she attended Sioux Central High School. “Morgan has the ability of beating people off the dribble and stepping out and shooting the three,” Smith said. “Her team finished 34-3 and was ranked No. 1 in the nation most of the season. She understands what playing in high pressure games are about and will easily adapt to the rigorous MIAA conference.” Hurst played two seasons at Kansas City Kansas Community College, averaging 13 points and four assists per game. The 5-7 guard earned honorable mention all-region honors for KCKCC. She attended Harrisonville High School. “Sam is a tough hardnosed guard that we feel can be an asset on the defensive end for us,” Smith said. “She gained valuable experience playing in the Kansas Jayhawk Conference. Unfortunately, her season was cut short due to an injury, she will have two full seasons left to play starting this fall.” Last November, Smith signed Raven Bunn, Elizabeth Finn, Tanya Meyer and Bailey Smith to letters of intent.

MIAA champs add Wentz, Starzl to 2014 recruiting class MARYVILLE, Mo. — Northwest men’s basketball coach Ben McCollum announced the additions of Vance Wentz and Dray Starzl on Thursday afternoon. Wentz red-shirted last season at Montana State University and will have four years of eligibility remaining. Starzl recently completed a standout career at Kearney High School. Wentz was a standout for the Shawnee Mission East Lancers and head coach Shawn Hair, earning second team all-state and All-Sunflower League honors. He surpassed 1,000 career points and led his team to a fourth-place finish at the state tournament as a senior. Wentz red-shirted at NCAA Division I member Montana State last year, and will have four years of eligibility remaining at Northwest. While in high school, he also lettered twice in football and played club basketball for KC Run GMC and coach LJ Goolsby. He was a teammate of current Bearcat forward Zach Schneider. “Vance has a high basketball IQ, he is tough and most importantly, he is a proven winner,” McCollum said. “He shoots the ball well and is a solid rebounder from the guard position. Vance also fits our mold of quality, high-character student-athletes and
we are extremely excited that he chose to be a Bearcat.” Starzl was an all-state performer for Gary Belcher at Kearney. He was also an All-Suburban Conference honoree and was named to the all-district team. He averaged 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists as a senior. A two-sport athlete, he also lettered three times in football. This year, he earned KKWK, KMZU, Kearney Classic, Holiday Classic and Liberty North accolades. Starzl played club basketball for MoKan Elite and coach Jim Huber. He is the brother of Northwest forward Dillon Starzl, who completed his career this season for the Bearcats. “Dray runs the floor well, sees the floor well, is a very good passer and can handle the ball,” McCollum commented. “He is tough and will help our program in all aspects over the years. He rebounds and is a solid post scorer and can even step out. Dray is another high-character individual and a solid student that we are very excited to add.” Starzl and Vance join Xavier Kurth as members of this year’s recruiting class. The Bearcats signed the all-state performer from Lafayette High School in November 2013.

Northwest beats Midland in 1-run game FREMONT, Neb. — The Northwest baseball team took a break from conference play as it defeated Midland University Tuesday in a nine inning contest, 4-3, to move to 21-17 on the year. Ryan Abernathy singled in Nikko Pablo in the top of the second inning to plate the first run of the game. Brandon Huske scored on a wild pitch later in the inning to give the Bearcats a 2-0 lead. Midland answered back with two
runs in the bottom of the fourth to tie it up at 2-2. Austin Wulff doubled to left field to bring in Jon Pomatto, who led off the inning with a single. Wulff scored on a sacrifice fly by Pablo to give the Bearcats a 4-2 lead. Midland managed one more run in the fifth inning, but was shut down the rest of the way out by the Northwest bullpen. The bullpen allowed only one base hit from the sixth inning on to secure
the victory. Daulton Perry earned his second win of the season and is now 2-0. Up next, Northwest will head to Emporia for a four-game series with the Hornets. Originally scheduled to start on Thursday, the series will now feature a pair of double-headers on Friday and Saturday due to weather concerns. Friday’s games will start at 2 p.m. and Saturday action will begin at 1 p.m. at Trusler Sports Complex.

Compare your current situation with your projected goals. Stop contemplating and start moving. Take command of your circumstances and do your best to make the changes necessary for success. Smaller tasks should be delegated to others so you can concentrate on the big picture. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Interesting new connections will contribute to your personal prospects. Meeting someone in a learning environment or at a community event will turn out to be beneficial. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Health problems will prevail if you aren’t getting enough rest. Financial concerns or demanding family members will add to your frustration. Keep your temper under control. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus on your goals, but be careful not to spread yourself too thin. Timing and a steady pace will make a difference. Trying to take on too many responsibilities will be your undoing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Stay out of office debates and keep your opinions to yourself. You will get a lot more done if you are able to ignore all the disgruntled and bitter people around you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your energy level is low. Consider joining in some competitive games or sports to help boost your stamina. Show the people you love that they are a top priority in your life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of you. Speak up and set your own rules. If you are assertive and you stand your ground, you will get the desired results. Do your own thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Make an effort to cooperate with family members. Older relatives may be able to offer insight into your problems. Discuss family history with an elder to discover valuable information. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Be strict about the family budget. Frivolous expenses will deplete your savings if you don’t keep track of them. Accurate financial records are essential. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -You will be able to continue engaging in pleasant activities once you have resolved a minor family problem. Keep your emotions in check, or you may end up making matters worse. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t divulge secrets. Make sure your work relationships stay free of emotional turmoil. Be truthful and clear. A casual remark could be misinterpreted. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -It’s great to get out and mingle, but before forming new friendships, make sure there isn’t a conflict of interest. A hastily made promise could result in an embarrassing situation. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Strong alliances with your co-workers will enable you to make great strides. Pool your ideas for maximum effect. You will provide useful suggestions for improving efficiency at work.
George Saunders, who is a professor at Syracuse University and has won the National Magazine Award for fiction four times, said, “I’m always aware of writing around things I can’t do, and I’ve come to think that that’s actually what ‘style’ is -an avoidance of your deficiencies.” A publisher once told me always to write about things that I know. He and Saunders are clearly in agreement. Over the last three days, we have looked at the overcalls that vary in meaning when made in the fourth seat instead of the second seat. A one-no-trump overcall is weak, not strong; a single jump overcall in a suit is intermediate, not weak; and a two-no-trump overcall is natural, not unusual -- as in today’s deal. South’s balancing jump to two no-trump showed a balanced hand with some 20-21 points (or slightly fewer points with a good six-card minor). North might have advanced with three clubs, Stayman, to look for a 4-4 spade fit. After West leads the heart queen, how should South plan the play? Declarer has six top tricks: two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. If South immediately concedes a club, West will clear hearts and defeat the contract when in with the spade ace. As West is marked with the spade ace from his opening bid, South should start with a low spade from his hand. If West goes in with the ace, declarer has nine tricks via three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. If West ducks, South wins with dummy’s spade king and switches to clubs. This time, he takes one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and four clubs.

Walk a mile …

NW fraternities ‘heel up’ to fight domestic abuse By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Northwest Missouri State University’s Interfraternity Council hosted the “Walk-a-Mile in Her Shoes” fundraising event Wednesday as Greek-life brothers turned out to raise funds for the Children and Family Center of Northwest Missouri, a local domestic abuse shelter. “This is the second year we’ve partnered with the Children and Family Center,” Northwest Interfraternity Council president Trevor Johnson said. “It’s a great or-
ganization that does a lot of good things, and we’re happy we can help them.” For the event, male participants don women’s high-heeled shoes and walk a one-mile course around campus. Last year’s event attracted about 200 walkers and nearly 75 spectators. About the same number returned this year. Meghann Kosman, court/victim advocate for the Children and Family Center, said she appreciated both the support the event provides the center as well as the symbolism of the high heels. “I love and appreciate the sym-
bolism of these guys stepping into women’s shoes,” Kosman said. “And of course, we appreciate the financial support.” Before the walk, guest speaker Brandi Shively, a victim of domestic violence, reminded the audience why the center’s work is important. “When you decide to stand up against domestic violence,” Shively said, “you need help and support, and that’s what the Children and Family Center provides.” Johnson said the decision to support Children and Family Center with proceeds from the event
was easy, since the council wanted to lend a hand to a local organization. “I had worked with Meghann before on some different projects,” Johnson said. “She knew that this was an event that had been held in the past, so last year we decided to resurrect it and tie in the Children and Family Center. We wanted the money we raised to stay in Nodaway County.” This year’s walkers had the advantage of an added comfort zone with regard to shoe selection after the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla passed on
several pairs of high-heeled shoes designed specifically for this event in men’s sizes, up to and including size 14. “We want to thank them for passing these shoes on,” Interfraternity Council vice president of Philanthropy Joey Prater said. “The shoes may still not be very comfortable, but at least they fit.” Northwest junior Frank Tamburello was the first walker to navigate the entire one-mile course in high heels. “It was a lot of fun, and it already hurts,” Tamburello said. “But hey, for a good cause, I was up for it.”
