Sheriff’s daughter

Writer and historian Susan Cronk is the author of “Hezekiah Rasco: Child of Woe, Man of Sorrow,” a non-fiction account of two murders that claimed a total of five lives in Nodaway County in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rasco was convicted in both killings and eventually hanged outside the jail in Maryville in 1912, apparently while singing “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” as a deputy sheriff placed the noose around his neck.

Murder is topic of book

By TONY BROWN News editor

Susan Cronk is fascinated by both history and law enforcement.

And that’s natural enough. The daughter of former Nodaway County Sheriff Roger Cronk, she literally spent several childhood years growing up at the old jail in Maryville, which was attached to the sheriff’s residence.

Later on, she carried a badge herself after graduating from the St. Joseph Law Enforcement Academy and serving in mostly administrative capacities for the Andrew County Sheriff’s Office.

But these days, Cronk spends most of her time at a word processor, running a home-based transcription business that counts universities, foundations and scholars as customers. She also pursues a serious and demanding avocation as a self-publishing author.

Her latest book explores an episode that seems tailor-made for a woman with Cronk’s background — a hardscrabble rural odyssey of rage, bloodshed, brutal homicide and unexplained passion that led to the deaths of five people during two separate attacks separated by 14 years and a pair of prison terms for the ultimately executed killer.

In “Hezekiah Rasco: Child of Woe, Man of Sorrow,” Cronk tells how, in 1896, an argument over a butter churn resulted in the death of Arkoe resident Katrina “Katy” Baumli, a 35-year-old wife and mother of three young chilSee BOOK, Page 9

St. Francis at forefront of new knee replacement technology

By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

Dr. Thomas Distefano has been doing knee replacement surgery at St. Francis Hospital and Health Services for over 15 years, and felt very

confident about the results he and his team had gotten over the years.

“I’ve done over 1,000 knee replacement during my time at St. Francis,” Distefano said. “I have a dedicated surgical team that’s been together for

several years, and we felt great about the results we had achieved.”

However, when Distefano was introduced six years ago to Microport Orthopedics’ Prophecy technology, he immediately See SURGEON, Page 6

CAPITOL NEWS Panel supports sales tax

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri Senate committee has endorsed a 1-cent sales tax increase to fund transportation projects.

The proposed constitutional amendment passed the House earlier this month. It was adopted by the Senate Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Thursday with a 6-1 vote.

If passed by the full Senate, the measure would head to the November ballot for voter approval. The tax is estimated to generate $800 million annually and $8 billion over its 10-year lifespan.

The lone “no” vote on the Senate panel was Republican Sen. John Lamping, who led the fight against similar legislation last year. He says Republicans are sending a mixed message by raising sales taxes while also passing an income tax cut this year.

Supporters say the tax is necessary for Missouri to maintain its highway system.

Do you have what it takes?

New Venture Pitch Competition keynote speaker Carl Hughes addresses a group of young would-be entrepreneurs Friday at Northwest Missouri State University. Hughes described different companies he has financially backed, and what their founders did in order to catch his eye.

Let’s make a deal

Celebrating art of the pitch

By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

Thirty-eight teams of students pitched their realworld business ideas to judges and business professionals Friday during the third annual New Venture Pitch Competition at Northwest Missouri State University.

Ben Blackford, an assistant professor of management at Northwest, organized the event.

“It’s a year-long process (preparing),” Blackford said. “We will actually have a meeting the first week of May to start talking about the fourth annual.”

During the competition, teams gave an “elevator” pitch and a “new venture” pitch. After their performances were evaluated, four teams were selected to go on to the final round.

“The students have one minute to pitch their business plan (the elevator pitch),” Blackford said.

“Then, once the judges have seen all the pitches, the students will go to a room where they have displays set up publicizing their business (the new venture pitch).

“The judges will then come see the teams that they were the most interested in from the pitches and get

more information. Then, after lunch, four teams will be selected for 10-minute long presentations followed by a 10-minute question and answer session with the judges.”

Contest winners receive a number of prizes, but the real plumb is a six-month lease inside the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Northwest campus, which serves as both a high-tech academic building and an incubator.

In addition to the contest, pitch day at Northwest also includes top advice from entrepreneurs who have mastered the art of taking an idea from possibility to profitability.

“With the keynote speaker, we look for someone who is awesome,” Blackford said. “So far, all of our keynote speakers have been alumni. So it’s alumni who have been successful in an entrepreneurial business.

We bring them back to provide insight and advice to aspiring entrepreneurs.”

This year’s featured speaker was Carl Hughes, who along with John Sherman and a small group of propane industry professionals co-founded Inergy LP. Before retiring and selling the company in 2012,

Hughes and his team built Inergy LP grow into the fourth largest U.S. marketer in the industry.

“It sounded like fun,” Hughes said. “I enjoy small business creation, and I enjoy these kids sticking their necks out with an idea and the learning process involved in that.”

Bringing in a strong speaker and a variety of judges are both important for Blackford, as is encouraging as much student participation as possible.

The thirty-eight teams that competed this year approximately tripled the number of groups last year, he aid.

Some students participated on their own and others participated for class credit.

“A lot of hard work went into this event,” said student Dylan Kay. “It was required for class, but I put in a lot of dedication and hard work. We had to do a 20page business plan with a group of three people. Then we had to present and make an actual product. Actually making the product was the hardest part.”

While the students were presenting their ideas, Nodaway County Economic Development director Josh McKim was looking on with interest and thinking about the positive long-term ef-

MDC tightens deer permit rules JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Conservation Commission has approved regulation changes that will reduce the availability of firearm antlerless deer hunting permits from “any number” in most of the state to one in most of the state.

Exceptions to this regula-

tion change allow hunters to fill two firearm antlerless deer permits in Chariton, Randolph, Macon, Linn, Sullivan, and Adair counties, which surround the area where chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been found in a small number of deer in Macon County.

Other areas where hunters can fill two firearm antlerless deer permits include urban zones around the state where deer numbers are typically higher than desired, and in Barton, Howell, and Oregon counties where local deer numbers are higher than deer management

“Entrepreneurism is a key element in any economic development strategy or program,” McKim said. “If we can encourage innovation at Northwest, it’s eventually going to have impacts in the region, and we’re all for that.”

Added Blackford: “It’s a great experience for the students because if the student is thinking about starting a business, it gives them good ideas on what goes into getting it funded and getting it started, and what the important factors are that they need to know before they take that leap.”

As for Hughes, he believes that for most Northwest undergrads the business of their lives after graduation really is, well, business.

“Everybody in this school is going to go out into the real world at some point,” Hughes said. “You’re going to be in a variety of avenues for careers. Business is where most of them are going to end up, and it’s good for them to get there sooner rather than later.

“This is a good way for them to stick their foot into the water, get tested, stand in front of business people with an idea and grow and learn with that process.”

goals.

The Missouri Department of Conservation regulation changes are scheduled to become effective for fall 2014. Details will be available in the Department’s “2014 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information” booklet available beginning in July.

According to MDC Deer Biologist Jason Sumners, the regulation changes are in response to lower overall deer numbers around much of the state as a result of long-term efforts to reduce the deer population through increased doe harvest.

“Deer populations in Missouri vary regionally and county-by-county as habitat, hunting regulations, hunter numbers, and frequency and severity of disease outbreaks affect deer numbers,” Sumners said. “As these factors change over time, our deer management strategy is to be responsive to those changes.”

MY WORD

Prepare for financial freedom

One of my go-to newspapers is USA Today when I am looking for interesting info to disseminate. What I found in a recent report by Nanci Hellmich was troubling.

A survey conducted by non-profit Employee Benefit Research Institute and Greenwald and Associates exposed a surprising state of affairs regarding Americans’ personal financial status. I hope sharing some of that information will encourage more folks to plan for their financial security. One need cited in the report was more financial education through schools, media, and the workplace. I concur 100 percent.

One dangerous statistic to families’ financial well-being is 36 percent of all workers have less than $1,000 in savings and investments that could be used for retirement, excluding primary residence and a defined benefits plan such as a traditional pension. Twenty-nine per cent of retirees are in the same situation.

That is not good.

Now, I understand perfectly why young workers do not have much in savings or investments; typically, it takes all one’s income to pay the rent and fuel bills. The part I don’t understand is the 29 percent of retired people who have less than $1,000 of private savings. That, to me, indicates a lack of planning.

The survey also discovered 16 percent of workers and 17 percent of retirees have $1,000 to $9,999 in savings and investments. Only 8 percent of workers and 12 percent of retirees have between $10,000 and $24,999; 9 percent of workers have between $25,000 and $49,999 while 8 percent of retirees have the same. Nine per cent of workers and 7 percent of retirees have between $50,000 and $99,999. Eleven per cent of workers and retirees have between $100,000 and $249,999. The highest bracket of $250,000 or more revealed 11 percent of workers in that desirable

position and 17 percent of retirees.

Obviously, those in the highest bracket are financially secure longterm. Those in the next two brackets have a solid degree of security to build on. Folks in the lower brackets may very well be in some degree of risk; in many individual cases that risk may be severe.

What to do?

There are some fundamental financial strategies The Missus and I have learned that put us in that high-

Larry Anderson est bracket in retirement. There’s no reason they won’t work for everyone. Here they are: First, lose the notion that Social Security alone will take care of you.

It will not, nor was it designed to.

If you have no employees’ pension plan in addition to Social Security, you need to make additional provisions for yourself and yours.

Second, financial security is built on assets, not on the brand of your automobile or the cut of your clothes.

Third, your house is your home, not the cornerstone of your portfolio. While an asset, it is not liquid. To tap equity, you must either borrow against it or sell, neither of which is

desirable long-term. Remember the real estate house of cards in 2008?

Fourth, avoid credit card debt. I learned this the hard way, but once learned, never forgotten. The credit card(s) are paid in full at the end of the month. Eliminate all interestbearing debt as quickly as possible.

Fifth, look for the higher good. Is it better to own that flashy new boat now, or to invest in an aggressive mutual fund for the future? Instant gratification is a threat to long-term independence and security.

Sixth, it is very important to have the same financial goals as your spouse or partner.

Seventh, start to invest as soon as possible. Time is one of the most important factors to asset building.

Eighth, diversify. Spread your assets between real estate, stocks, bonds, etc.

Ninth, get educated, and stay educated in financial matters. Share with junior.

Tenth, take advantage of every opportunity offered. Invest in an IRA, 401(k), or company savings account.

Put money in accounts where you aren’t likely to put your mitts.

Eleventh, invest in yourself.

Training, skills, and education are marketable.

Twelfth, plan and set reasonable goals. It does no good to set a financial goal so lofty it can’t be reached, but always move forward. Account annually. Always know where you are.

Finally, forget the argument from some political agents that financial failure is due to a failed economic system. If there has been failure in this country, it is due to a confused, incompetent government.

Financial success in America is built on individual desire, recognizing opportunity, and work.

Larry W. Anderson, 62, has been gleefully retired for a decade.

MHS Homecomin’ first in 4 years

The first homecoming in four years of the Maryville high school will be held Friday, according to

Kurby Lyle, chairman of the social committee of the student council, sponsor of the celebration, and Mrs. M.J. Gile, their sponsor.

The program for the affair will begin at 2 o’clock with an assembly followed by a football game at 8 o’clock that night at the college field and climaxed with the crowning of the “Annual Queen” at the dance to be held after the game at the high school building.

Fred Wolfers, a former graduate, will act as master of ceremonies at the assembly. Miss Laura B. Hawkings, vice-principal, will welcome the old graduates. Don Madden, recently discharged from the navy, will reply.

Solos will be given by Louis Tebow on the piano; Jack Worley of the navy, a vocal solo; and Miss Mary Ellen Tebow, violin.

These will be followed by a talk

by Herman Millikan, a former graduate and now athletic coach.

Under the direction of Miss Mary Frances Lasell, the dramatic class will present a play, “If Men Play Cards as Women Do.”

Leave soft corn in field for seed

About 20 percent of Nodaway

County’s corn crop is soft and should be left in the field to be harvested as feed, A.C. Ausherman, county extension agent, suggested today. This is a practical method of utilizing the soft corn where it is fairly mature and where enough livestock are available to consume it before continuous bad weather arrives. … The value of soft corn compares quite favorably with other corn on the basis of dry matter.

This 100 pounds of 40 percent moisture corn would be approximately 75 pounds of 20 percent moisture corn, or 70 pounds of corn carrying 15. There is the fact, however, that livestock can not eat as much dry matter in very wet corn as in dry corn, so the rate of grain may be somewhat lower, Ausherman said.

observe actual surgeries as Distefano and his team use the custom cutting blocks.

“KQTV came up and made a short film of us doing surgery,” Distefano said.

“That piece of film got back to Microport through their reps, and they were impressed with how we’ve adopted and use this technology, so they want to make us a visitation center for other surgeons to see what we do.”

Another potential advantage Distefano sees to this technology is a longer life for the artificial knee due to the precision of the installation.

“We tell patients that we’re looking for a life span of 10 to 25 years on an artificial knee, hoping to get 20 years,” Distefano said.

“While we don’t have any long-term proof yet due to the newness of the technology, it stands to reason that the artificial knee should have a longer life simply because of the precision of the installation.

“It also seems like the patients who’ve had the surgery using the Prophecy technology seem to rehab a little quicker, but again the technology is so new that we don’t have any clinical data to back that up with yet.”

Distefano said when he began his time at St. Francis, the hospital had one physical therapist and one occupational therapist.

Currently, there are 18 therapists at the hospital, and Distafano sees this as another important reason for area knee replacement candidates to get the procedure done locally.

“You have an successful, experienced surgical team that uses cutting-edge technology to ensure a precision replacement,” Distefano said. “Add to that great therapists and facilities to assist with the pre- and postsurgical rehabilitation, and there’s no reason to go anywhere else for knee replacement.”

Exciting breakthrough

saw advantages that could allow him and his team to give patients even better results.

“This technology has invigorated me,” Distefano said. “This technology allows us to precisely customfit each knee replacement to each patient.”

The process works this way: a candidate for knee replacement is given a CT scan.

This procedure shows the natural alignment of the center of the hip, knee and ankle on the patient. The scan is sent to Microport’s Memphis, Tenn., facility, where a three-dimensional printer is used to make custom-designed cutting blocks are designed for that particular patient. The entire process takes about two weeks, from scan to delivery of the cutting blocks and diagrams.

Using computer-generated drawings and the custom cutting blocks, Distefano

can make a precise first cut, which he says is the key to the surgery.

“If the first cut is exact, then the fit will be exact,” Distefano said. “That sounds simple, but it’s not.

We carry about 65 percent of our body weight on the inside of our knee, so more natural wear and tear occurs on the inside.

“When I do a knee replacement, I may only take off a half-inch of bone on the inside, but three or four inches on the outside, as an example, so the first cut is critical. We used guides in the past, and they allowed us to do very accurate work, but there was always a little of what I call ‘fiddle room’ because we simply couldn’t be totally precise with it.

With the new Prophecy technology, we can be exact.

The 3-D printer is the key to the technology.”

Distefano and his team have performed about 80 knee replacement surgeries since they began using the precision cutting blocks last April, and so far every one has fit perfectly.

“Besides allowing us to give the patient a precision fit,” Distefano said, “it also cuts about five minutes off surgery time, which is good for the patient. From start to finish, the surgery lasts about 45 minutes.”

Microport Orthopedics is providing the technology to St. Francis for no cost, and due to the success Distefano and his team have had using the technology, plans are in the works to make St. Francis a “national visitation center” where surgeons from around the country can

Shots on goal

Maryville junior forward Ashton Reuter takes a shot during a game earlier this season. Reuter tied her own school record with seven goals last Thursday night against Kansas City Northeast and now has 32 goals for the 9-0 Spoofhounds.

Reuter scores 7 goals, Hounds move to 9-0

By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor

For the second time this season, Maryville junior forward Ashton Reuter scored seven goals for the undefeated Spoofhound soccer team.

She tied her own single-game record set back on April 3 against Savannah on Thursday night, helping the Hounds down Kansas City Northeast 10-0 in 59 minutes.

Reuter kicked off the scoring in the second minute off an assist from junior midfielder Hannah Brod and added a second goal in the ninth minute.

Sophomore forward Mollie Holtman got in on the action in the 18th minute on an assist from freshman defender Anna Throm and Reuter completed her hat-trick — her sixth of the year — in the 21st minute.

Mollie Holtman scored again in the 24th minute on an assist from Reuter and the two forwards flipped roles in the 33rd minute to give Maryville a 6-0 halftime advantage.

In the second half, Reuter scored in the 54th and 57th minutes before Holtman completed her fifth hat trick of the year in the 58th minute.

Reuter ended it in the 59th minute on an assist by senior midfielder Cassie Holtman.

The Maryville defense was strong again — allowing no shots on goal.

The No. 8 Spoofhounds have a 74-4 goal differential on the season and have scored 10 goals five times. Reuter has 32 goals on the season and Mollie Holtman has 22, just three off her total from her freshman season.

Maryville (9-0) is back in action at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Hound Pound against Chillicothe.

The Bearcats will head to the Pre-Drake Relays in Lincoln, Neb., on Wednesday, April 23. The Drake Relays will take place from April 24-26 in Des Moines, Iowa.

EMPORIA, Kan. — The Northwest baseball team dropped a pair of double-headers to Emporia State over the weekend to drop to 21-21 on the season and 15-16 in MIAA play and currently in ninth place in the conference.

The Bearcats lost the first game of Friday’s double-header 6-2 on a walk-off grand slam.

After falling behind 2-0 early, Northwest battled back to score twice in the top of the seventh to tie the game. Senior Eric McGlauflin doubled and moved to third on a single by junior Steven Garber. After redshirt-freshman Garrett Fort pinch ran for Garber, an error scored McGlauflin and Fort scored on a subsequent error by the right fielder.

But in the bottom of the seventh, senior Austin Warren ran into trouble after a leadoff single, a sacrifice bunt and an intentional walk.

Sophomore Andrew Trout came in relief for Warren and walked the next batter to load the bases. Price Jacobs lifted a gamewinning homerun in the next at bat to give the Hornets the win.

In game two, Emporia State scored one in the first, one in the sixth and added an insurance run in the eighth.

Northwest scored in the top of the seventh as senior Jon Pomatto grounded out to score freshman Nikko Pablo, who led off the inning with a walk.

The Bearcats concluded the road portion of their schedule Saturday, losing 3-2 in a walk-off single in the first game and an 11-7 decision in game two at Trusler

Sports Complex.

Emporia State scored once in the second and added another in the fifth to take a 2-0 lead. In the top of the sixth, senior Brandon Huske singled to start the inning and scored as McGlauflin homered two batters later to tie the game 2-2.

An error to start the bottom of the seventh came back to bite the Bearcats, as the winning run scored on a two-out single.

In game two, Northwest used the longball to keep the game close as Huske, freshman Austin Wulff and freshman Zach Ferreira all went deep for the Bearcats.

Emporia State jumped out to a 1-0 lead after the first, but Northwest answered with three runs in the top of the second as Wulff hit a two-run shot and junior Blake Hardegree singled in Garber, who doubled.

The Hornets added two more runs in the third to tie the game. In the fourth, Wulff lead off with a double and scored on a Garber single.

Emporia State added four runs in the bottom of the fourth and added another in the sixth.

In the seventh, Northwest got three runs as Ferreira homered to score Hardegree.

One batter later, Huske hit a solo homerun, bringing the score to 8-7. The Hornets would add three in the bottom of the eighth and hung on for the 11-7 win.

Northwest finishes the regular season at home against Pittsburg State next weekend, starting at 2 p.m. Friday, April 25. The two teams are scheduled to play a doubleheader on Saturday followed by a single game on Sunday.

Legislation proposes sales tax breaks JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pizza parlors, doughnut shops and even convenience stores all could be in line for a tax break on the food that they make and sell as a result of a measure moving through the Missouri Legislature.

The bill would create a new sales tax exemption on the utilities used to produce food that is sold to customers at restaurants, bakeries, and grocery and convenience stores. The proposed

tax break is intended to effectively overturn a recent Missouri Supreme Court ruling that denied a utility sales tax exemption for the food warmed and served at Schnucks grocery stores.

The Department of Revenue estimates the legislation could reduce total state revenues by between $4 million and $20 million annually.

The House passed the measure 134-12 on Thursday, sending it to the Senate. The vote occurred

with almost no discussion just a day after lawmakers intensely debated and approved a measure that could eventually cut state income taxes by $620 million annually.

State Rep. Craig Redmon, who sponsored the sales tax exemption, said he views it as a way to prevent “double taxation.”

Otherwise, “you’re taxing on the utilities, and then you’re turning around and taxing on the product when

it’s completed,” said Redmon, a Republican from the northeast Missouri town of Canton.

Missouri law already exempts sales taxes on utilities used in the manufacturing or processing of products.

A Department of Revenue regulation lists examples of what it considers “processing,” specifically citing such things as the energy used by bakeries, the compressed gas used by welders and the propane used to power fork-

lifts that are carrying raw materials between production lines.

In March, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled against a sales tax request on behalf of 40 Schnucks grocery stories. The court said the “processing” exemption did not apply to the in-store preparation of cooked foods for retail sale.

Redmon, who used to own several convenience stores that sold such things as pizza and fried chicken,

said he was approached by a lobbyist for retail and grocery stores to handle the legislation assuring that grocers and restaurants can qualify for the tax break.

“At first I thought, ‘Oh no, not another tax exemption thing,’” Redmon said.

“But when you start saying, ‘OK, this part of the business world can take advantage of it but this one can’t,’ that’s not fair either.

It should be: If they get it, we should get it.”

Book revisits Nodaway County murder from 1896 Continued from Page 1 dren.

Rasco, then 15, was convicted of the murder, ultimately spending nearly a decade behind bars before being released in his mid-20s — and killing again.

Cronk said she became interested in Rasco’s bizarre, bloodstained life in 2006 after reading a book consisting of newspaper articles compiled by south-county resident Janet Hawley. At first Cronk thought of turning the material into a novel, but then she said she realized this was one story where truth would likely have an even more sinister appeal to readers than fiction.

And that truth, painstakingly prized out of dusty paper documents and electronic archives over seven subsequent years of research, amounted to this: Hezikiah Rasco was a very handsome, very troubled and very dangerous man.

Though he tried to pin the killings on others, Cronk said her investigation indicates no real reason to believe he was anything but a killer.

On Oct. 2, 1896, Katrina “Katy”

(Kirch) Baumli was bludgeoned to death in the second-floor bedroom of her rural home two miles southeast of Arkoe. She died as Rasco, her teenage neighbor, struck her repeatedly with a wrought-iron stove leg.

Three trials ensued, two of which were declared mistrials, but Rasco finally ended up at the state penitentiary at Jefferson City. He was released 1905 but went back to prison almost immediately for horse theft, getting out for the remainder of his short life in 1907.

He returned to Nodaway County and took up farming.

Then, on a quiet Sunday in November 1910, Oda Hubbell, age 30, his wife Clara, and their two children, Jessie, a girl aged 6, and Welton, a boy aged 4, were brutally murdered at their home near Guilford.

The night before, Rasco had been on the losing end of an allnight poker game with Hubbell, and his financial loss and hurt pride were apparently all it took for murder to enter his heart and hand.

Oda was killed by a shotgun blast to the head. Clara was blud-

geoned then shot as she tried to phone for help. Jessie and Welton’s exact causes of death were uncertain, but it was believed that they too were shot.

The Hubbells’ home was doused with fuel oil and burned. Less than a day later, Hezekiah Rasco was under arrest for homicide.

He was hanged two years later, in March, 1912, outside the Nodaway County Jail after a last meal consisting of eggs, oatmeal, bacon and bread and, according to Cronk’s account, sang two verses of “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” as a deputy placed the noose around his neck.

While Cronk’s book is rich with such details, she admits she was never able, after more than a century had passed, to pin down Rasco’s motivation or the roots of the apparent rage.

She speculates he was simply an angry young man who, for some dark, hidden reason, found himself prey to perceived threats and slights and unable to step away from the abyss of violent death.

“I tried to look at him from a psychological angle,” she said.

“Apparently there were quite a few

tragic circumstances in his family, but a lot of that was before he was born. He seems to have been just an average farm kid, but there was just a point where he had a temper — a low threshold for temper. And his response was to take revenge if he had been slighted by anybody.”

Could Rasco have been a serial killer?

Cronk doubts it, and said the surviving facts don’t paint a picture of someone who fits what modern investigators would call a serial slayer’s “profile.”

“I think it was just revenge and anger,” she said. “He just lacked a basic self-control mechanism.

Most of us, if we feel slighted, either forgive or chew on it a while and let it go. He wasn’t able to let it go.”

In writing “Hezekiah Rasco,” Cronk said she was able to depend a great deal on materials held in the collection of the Nodaway County Historical Society. She also conducted research using resources provided by the Library of Congress and the online archive newspapers.com.

“I can lose myself in the library or the Historical Society (muse-

um) for days at a time,” she said.

But eventually you have to start putting the research in some kind of logical order or it just gets out of hand.”

Cronk said she started writing as a girl, and that committing words to paper to tell stories — based on both fact and fiction — has always been a big part of her life.

Her other works, also self-published and available through Amazon, include “Brothers Such as These,” a novel about five northwest Missouri friends set in the 1970s, and a second novel, “The Oppressor Project,” which Cronk describes as a “sort of technothriller.”

But “Hezikiah Rasco” seems to have touched a special chord with the writer by letting her get in touch with her inner cop.

“I like all ‘true crime’ because of my criminal justice experience,” Cronk said. “I just enjoy trying to make some sense of it.”

In addition to Amazon, copies of “Hezekiah Rasco: Child of Woe, Man of Sorrow” are available for sale at the Nodaway County Historical Society Museum and the Maryville Hy-Vee supermarket.

Your curiosity will be working on overdrive this year. Items and investments that will improve your future will be made available to you.

Your instincts will enable you to make prudent choices. Financial opportunities will come your way, but refrain from making a major investment in someone else’s venture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- After working hard, you deserve some downtime to relax with friends. A movie or concert could lift your spirits; a day of pampering would help prepare you for your next challenge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Don’t take unnecessary risks. A joint moneymaking scheme may tempt you, but you should hold back. You will do better by sticking to conservative investments that aren’t dependent on other people.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Let someone special know how you feel.

Miscommunication can cause hurt feelings, but a truthful dialogue will strengthen your relationship. Work as a team.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will be pleasantly surprised if you choose to join a serious-minded organization. Your long list of accomplishments and hard work will make you understandably proud and will impress your cohorts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Look before you leap. Although you may have several interests in common with a new acquaintance, you should take time to

explore possible problems before you make a promise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Some family members will try your patience.

Avoid unpleasant confrontations.

Opt to spend time with peers and to accomplish goals that will build your confidence and brighten your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your curiosity will be stimulated by exotic destinations. Even if a trip is not currently possible, there are many cultural activities you can undertake to quench your thirst for knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t let another’s opinion be the reason for a change in your career direction. Do what’s best for you.

Consider all of your options and follow your instincts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Turmoil is likely to disrupt your personal life. Take a step back and re-evaluate your current situation. An objective view will be required to avoid regret.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will have a much better chance of reaching your goal if you keep your plans secret. While it’s natural to want to share your ideas, wait until you are fully prepared.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Focus on social or humanitarian events that you feel passionate about. Your persistence and dedication will enable you to persuade others to join the cause you are championing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be frustrated, but don’t let problems at work interfere with your home life. Whatever the issue, do your best, act professionally and keep your two environments separate.

Harry Vardon, a top English golfer who died in 1937, said, “More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than by any other cause.”

More bridge contracts are lost through carelessness early in the play than by any other cause.

So, do not mess up early in today’s deal. South is in four hearts.

West leads the spade eight. East wins with his ace and returns the spade four. How should South proceed?

The South hand is definitely worth a one-heart opening. The North hand would have been a perfect game-forcing two-no-trump response in the days of yore, but this modern pair was using the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing four-card or better heart support. Some pairs would respond three no-trump to show a balanced 13-15 without four hearts, but I like this to promise 3-3-3-4 or 3-3-4-3 distribution and a soft, no-trumpy hand.

An impulsive declarer would take the second trick on the board and run the heart jack (the percentage play for only one loser). But West would win with his queen and give his partner a spade ruff. Then the heart ace would defeat the contract.

Harry Vardon, if he had been a bridge player, would have realized that this was the one risk to the contract. And the way to keep the ball in play, not flying out of bounds, is first to cash dummy’s two top diamonds and discard declarer’s remaining spade. Then there is no risk of an opposing spade ruff and South can play on trumps, here losing one spade and two hearts.

Always pause to consider potential dangers.

Women’s shelter offers residents’ pets safe haven

By TONY BROWN News editor

For the birds … and dogs … and cats

Children and Family Center of Northwest Missouri staff members Linda Steinke, Stella Smith, and Meghann Kosman pose with pet supplies inside a converted garage at the domestic abuse shelter that is being used to house family pets. According to Executive Director Muriel Zimmerman, animals are often early victims in an escalating cycle of violence, and their presence can discourage owners from fleeing a home that has become dangerous.

PAWS facility, Zimmerman said, the shelter also works with area farmers willing to care for large animals while their owners remain at the center.

As for the converted PAWS garage, Zimmerman said it has been used a number of times, and that she expects more abuse victims to show up with family pets as the word gets out, especially now that the service has been mentioned on domestic violence websites and Facebook pages.

“This is just another collaborative effort where the community has, once again, come together in different ways,” she said. “People recognize that families need to be safe, and that if families need to be safe, this is what we need to do to make it happen.”

Current plans for PAWS expansion include construction of an enclosed, outdoor dog-run, perhaps constructed on a concrete pad. Zimmerman said the shelter is currently seeking donations of either cash or materials so that work on the run can move forward.

Aside from offering abuse victims — and their animals — a safe haven, services and support provided by the shelter include crisis and case management, court advocacy, support groups, a 24-hour crisis hotline, and educational outreach.

The Children and Family Center of Northwest Missouri is receiving help from a local veterinarian in continuing to improve its Pets and Womens Shelter Program, known as PAWS. Since PAWS was organized, families seeking refuge at the local domestic abuse shelter can bring their pets with them knowing that a safe, secure place is available for animals as well as humans.

The initiative got its start three years ago when the center received a grant to turn a garage and an apartment above the garage into a pet-friendly area complete with play space.

Grant funds have been used to purchase air conditioning and heating equipment along with food, cages and other gear.

But more was needed.

That’s when veterinarian Sally Hayse got involved through her local clinic, SouthPaws.

Hayes donated another $300 worth of equipment, including food bowls, cat and dog food, cleaning supplies, a dog bed, and a portable dog washing station for use by shelter staff and clients.

The effort has also received a $250 grant from the Maryville Walmart store that will be used

for food and litter whenever the need arises. Organizational assistance has also been provided by the New Nodaway Humane Society, which operates a local animal shelter.

Though the center’s top priority is, of course, the safety and well-being of its human clients, Executive Director Murial Zimmmerman said Thursday that family pets can be big a big part of the equation when it comes to easing the pain and beginning the healing after abuse occurs.

For one thing, Zimmerman said, a lot of folks are literally willing to risk their lives in order to protect their pets.

“What we’ve found is that about 78 percent of the women who have pets will not leave them at home,” Zimmerman said. “They will stay in a violent situation rather than leave their animals, and it is the animals who are often abused first as the violence escalates.

“Also, animals are very important to many individuals.

Being able to keep their pet is often critical for someone who is already in crisis.”

And that can present another set of issues is rural areas like Nodaway County, where clients may have deep attachments not just to a dog or a cat but to a horse or other farm animal.
