Admin, coaching slots filled at MHS By JASON LAWRENCE Assistant news editor
The Maryville R-II School Board went outside the district for a couple of new hires announced following a closed-door personnel session held over the noon hour on Tuesday. The board hired a new Maryville High School assistant principal to succeed Thom Alvarez, who will take over as MHS principal this summer following the departure of Jason Eggers, who has accepted an administrative post with the public school system in Jefferson City. Filling Alvarez’s shoes in the No. 2 administrative spot will be Bryce Durnin, who currently serves as assistant principal at School of the Osage High School in Osage Beach near the Lake of the Ozarks. “He’s got several years of experience as an assistant principal, and that’s always good, especially with me moving into a new position,” Alvarez said. “Having someone with experience in this position will benefit me.” Durnin became assistant principal at Osage High in 2009. He has a bachelor’s degree in biology and secondary education from William Jewell College as well a master’s degree in educational leadership and a specialist’s degree in education from Northwest Missouri State University. “I think he’ll be a great fit,” Alvarez said. “He’s familiar with the area. His
wife’s from Savannah. So he’s familiar with our school district and really knows what we’re about and is excited to be apart of the Maryville community as well as the school district.” Prior to his tenure at the School of the Osage, Durnin taught science and coached baseball and girls basketball in the Liberty School District from 2000-2006 and coached baseball at Park Hill South high School from 2006-’09. “We’ve heard a lot of positive comments, recommendations, references and so forth,” said R-II Superintendent Larry Linthacum. In addition to Durnin, the board approved hiring Candace Boeh to teach physical education and serve as head girls basketball coach, replacing Lori Klaus and Grant Hageman. Klaus’ resignation was approved last week from her positions as PE teacher, head volleyball coach and head track coach. Hageman was reassigned last week from head girls basketball coach to boys assistant coach. “It’s one of those that we didn’t want to wait a long time,” Linthacum said. “It is May 6, and at this time of year with Grant Hageman and his desire to move over to the boys program and the opening that we had, it wasn’t something we were going to wait a long time. We also felt that Candace was the best candidate with what she See MHS Page 3

Jason White talks to a customer from behind the wheel of the Pontiac van he uses to shuttle patrons of his newly formed taxicab business. White founded Northwest Taxi & Shuttle Service after longtime local cabbie Steven Swaim retired. After six weeks, business has grown to the point where White, who works seven days a week, is considering buying a second vehicle and hiring a relief driver.
Taxi service giving car-less a ‘fare’ deal By TONY BROWN News editor
When Steven Swaim, who operated the Cab Company of Maryville for nearly 30 years, retired a while back, the surprisingly large group of Maryville residents who don’t drive or have regular access to an automobile found themselves either afoot or dependent on relatives and friends to get them to the grocery store or the doctor’s office. One normally associates traveling by taxi with the way people live in big cities. But small-town cab services have long been a part of life in rural communities like Maryville, and especially in college towns where many students — particularly those from other countries — don’t own cars. Then there are elderly folks whose driving days are behind them, and one-car families where one spouse or the other may not have

access to a vehicle during the workday. Swaim’s retirement after decades of making sure car-less Maryville got where it needed to go left a lot of people in the lurch — a lurch that has now been removed by an ambitious young entrepreneur who is once again offering a local shuttle and tax service. Jason White, a 1994 Maryville High School graduate, had always made a good living working construction. But over the last few years, he said, he found himself wanting more and more to be his own boss. As it happened, White lived close to where Swaim operated his home-based taxi service. “I knew that he was going to retire at some point,” White said, “and I saw his cars were in motion a lot. It just seemed like a business that could be huge if you were willing to work at it.” So six weeks ago White

acquired the necessary licenses and completed the city’s required background check for cab drivers. Then he hung a couple of Northwest Tax & Shuttle Service signs on his six-passenger Pontiac Montana van and hit the street. So far, he said, business has been good — and sometimes great. “If I can make what I made last week I can do pretty well,” said White, who is married with two stepchildren and a new baby on the way with his wife, Jessie. White said about half his business during the closing weeks of the school year consisted of international students from Northwest Missouri State University, who either needed rides to local stores and restaurants or required shuttle service between Maryville and Kansas City International Airport.

Maryville R-II fills administration, coaching positions Continued from Page 1 brings to the table.” Boeh played basketball at Northwest for three years, competing in 75 career games and scoring 219 points with 128 rebounds. “I’m really excited about bringing Candace on in that PE position and in that head basketball position,” Alvarez said. “I had a discussion
with (former Northwest women’s) Coach (Gene) Steinmeyer, and he said above all we would be getting a great person, so that’s what really sold me on it. “It’s not so much about her knowledge, but she’s a good person, and I think she’s going to be a good role model. Obviously, athletically a player out here
at Northwest, so she knows her basketball. Her father’s a coach, so I think the lineage is there for her to be a good coach.” Boeh student taught at Maryville High School, and her twin sister Alexis was hired last week to teach special education at MHS. The board also reassigned high school social stud-
ies teacher Nathan Powell from assistant track coach to head track coach to replace Klaus. “It was a natural transition,” Linthacum said. “He applied for that and had a desire to continue building on the strengths within our track program as they move forward to try and reach their potential.”
Alvarez said familiarity with the program and the athletes made Powell a good choice, much like the reassignments last week of Matt Stoecklein and Connor Kellerstrass as head boys basketball coach and head wrestling coach, respectively. “He brings a lot of experience. Not only has he been a track coach here, he’s been
a track coach at his previous school,” Alvarez said. “Having been a coach on the staff, he knows both the male and the female athletes, and he’s very excited about the position. He’s got some great ideas and some things he wants to establish, and we’re excited to have him. It’s always good to move someone up from within.”
Missouri lawmakers override tax cut veto
KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM
She’s had enough
Pickering Alderman Linda Young (right) voices concerns to the town’s Board of Aldermen Monday during the governing council’s monthly meeting. Young said she believes her fellow board members and other residents of the tiny Nodaway County community are failing to follow town ordinances.
Pickering council member claims ordinances ignored By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
A member of the Pickering Board of Aldermen voiced concerns Monday regarding her belief that local ordinances are being ignored, and that her complaints are falling on deaf ears. Linda Young, who has served on the board since 1998, said at Monday’s regular monthly aldermanic meeting that she has seen an increase in the number of instances in which citizens ignore town ordinances — infractions, she said, that range from owners failing to tag their dogs to motorists running stop signs. Young also said the town’s governing board isn’t doing enough to fix the problem. “We used to have conse-
quences where we would give them a warning letter and say, ‘this is what’s happening,’” Young said. “‘If you don’t (fix it), you have so many days to do this.’ If it didn’t happen, then they got a summons, went to the Sheriff’s Office, and we took them to court. “But now we have people who say ‘you’re picking on them. That’s not right.’ This town gone down hill. The people in this town do not care.” Young began calling law enforcement and area news media, including the Daily Forum, several days ago after a stop sign was knocked down near her home at the corner of Fourth and Coleman. She said the unidentified driver of the vehicle that knocked down the sign may have also driven through her
yard. She told the Forum it was the second time similar episodes of vandalism had happened at her residence within the past six months. In addition to the flattened sign, Young complained of noise ordinance violations, pet and livestock violations and traffic violations, adding that several all-terrain vehicles have been driven through her yard. She also said that law enforcement has been unable to solve the problem due to Nodaway County’s large geographic size. “When you call the Sheriff’s Office, by the time they get here, (the people who violated the ordinances) are gone,” Young said. “Some-

needed a little Democratic help to accomplish the twothirds vote required to override this year’s veto. The House voted 109-46, with Democratic Rep. Keith English of suburban St. Louis joining all 108 Republicans. The GOP-led Senate voted Monday to override the veto on a party-line 23-8 vote. Republicans cheered and House Majority Leader John Diehl raised his arms in victory as the override vote passed. “Missouri is now truly saying we are open for business and ready to grow,” House Speaker Tim Jones said. Like colleagues in other states, Missouri Republicans touted the tax cut as a means of remaining competitive with their neighbors and boosting the economy as revenues rebound from the Great Recession. When he vetoed the Missouri measure last week, Nixon raised concerns that it could jeopardize funding for essential state services while providing a much larger benefit to the rich than the poor. He described it as “an unfair, unaffordable and dangerous scheme that would defund our schools, weaken our economy, and destabilize the strong foundation of fiscal discipline” in Missouri.

body’s going to get hurt.” Deputy Ronald Long attended Monday’s meeting and said the department would try to increase the number of patrols in and around Pickering. “I was (at a meeting) two years ago with a lot of the same issues,” Long said. “We’ve stepped up patrols since then, and I think we’ve gotten a lot of it calmed down. “If you all continue to call, we will come out here. We will step up patrols up here, and see if we can get it calmed down again like we did last year. … This is a peaceful town, and you guys shouldn’t have the problems you’re having.”
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri’s Republicanled Legislature enacted the state’s first income tax rate reduction in almost a century Tuesday by overriding the veto of Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, who has denounced it as a reckless financial experiment. The law will gradually cut Missouri’s top individual income tax rate starting in 2017 and make the state just the third in the nation to offer a special business-income deduction on personal tax returns. But the incremental tax cuts will occur only if Missouri’s revenues keep growing. The tax cuts could benefit about 2.5 million individuals and families, with the wealthiest standing to gain the most, and would provide an extra boost to hundreds of thousands of people involved in business partnerships, limited liability corporations or their own ventures. The override vote capped an intense, multi-year campaign that included millions of dollars of advertising by tax-cut supporters and scores of opposition events organized by Nixon. Republicans made the tax cut a priority after failing last year to override Nixon’s veto of a more expansive cut. The GOP holds large majorities in both chambers but

Hammons era comes to end
Springfield News-Leader
Springfield is experiencing the end of an era — led by a power couple who gave the city economic development, arts, sports and even fountains. Juanita Kathleen (Baxter) Hammons died April 29 at the age of 96, nearly one year after her husband, John Q. Hammons, died on May 26, 2013. Together, this couple put their energies and their love into Springfield. The name Hammons is ubiquitous in the city, etched in the facades of buildings, sports arenas, on street signs and in front of decorative water fountains on three area college campuses. Juanita K. Hammons is a name that is on the lips of every music lover, fan of live theater, Broadway aficionado or anyone who has been inside the beautiful curved glass facade of the Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts on the Missouri State University campus in Springfield. Juanita Hammons spent the last six years in a nursing home, eventually trapped by Alzheimer’s, as her husband continued to operate his successful hotel business and influence the face of the city. At one time, however, she was a common sight on the arm of her husband of 64 years — a lovely, darkhaired woman with style and grace, who was comfortable among the rich and powerful as well as the everyday people of her adopted city. She came from the tiny community of Marionville, where she grew up on a farm and later taught school. While her husband worked long hours and traveled many miles to become one of the most successful businessmen in the community, for years she continued to teach, later in the second grade at McDaniel School in Springfield. Although she did not play an active role in her husband’s business, Juanita Hammons was an equal partner in their desire to support the arts, education, sports and health care. She served on boards, committees and auxiliaries, and generously shared her time, money and even her husband with the community. The couple, who married in their 30s, had no children, so there is no direct heir to their fortune or their legacy. But Springfield will long remember John Q. and Juanita K. Hammons. Their legacy is now ours to cherish.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
RCOG collections successful for ’14
To the Editor, Thanks to the partnership of the Nodaway and Holt county commissions, Nucor-LMP, EnTire Recycling and the Regional Council of Governments, two waste-tire collections were held this spring. Maryville was the host site of a combined waste tire collection and Household Hazardous Waste collection on March 29. Volunteers from Nucor-LMP unloaded 33.7 tons of waste tires from resident’s vehicles that were then reloaded into semi-truck trailers and transported to EnTire Recycling in Rock Port. Volunteers filled a total of two and a half trailers with waste tires that day. On April 12, again with the help of Nucor-LMP employees, 6.85 tons of waste tires were collected in Oregon at the Holt County road maintenance facility and delivered to EnTire Recycling, making a total of 40.55 tons of waste tires recycled for 2014. Household Hazardous Waste was the targeted collection in both Maryville on March 29 and at the Atchison County Maintenance Facility in Rock Port on April 26. The two HHW collections served 160 residents from the five-county region, properly disposing of over 18 tons of household hazardous waste. For more information about the proper disposal or recycling of waste tires, HHW or other items, please contact Linda Laderoute at the Northwest Regional Council of Governments at (660) 582-5121 or visit the Northwest Recycling Resource website at www.recycle.nwmorcog.org.

A MINUTE WITH MIKE
Funds for student transfers causing House controversy
With only two weeks left in the 97th General Assembly, the pressure is mounting and the priorities of 197 legislators seem to be hanging in the balance. The budget for 2015 has to be agreed upon and sent to the governor by this Friday. Hopefully, we will be able to complete that task early this week to meet that deadline. The issue that has made the most news is the tax-cut bill, vetoed by the governor, with an override attempt inevitable. By the time you read this article, that will be old news and I will comment on that next week. One of the most pressing issues dealt with this year was the transfer of students out of unaccredited school districts. As you may be aware, approximately 2,000 students have transferred out of the unaccredited Normandy and Riverview Gardens districts in the St. Louis area. The potential exists for a similar migration of students on the other side of the state in the Kansas City School District. The transfer of students from these districts is a result of a law passed in 1993 that allows young people to move into higher performing districts and requires the districts they are leaving to pay the costs of the transfer. While we want students to have the opportunity to pursue better educational opportunities, we also have to balance that against the potentially devastating financial impact a huge
number of transfers can have on these districts that are already struggling. We also want to ensure the receiving districts are properly staffed and equipped to handle the new students they receive. A somewhat controversial bill that was passed by the House last week at-
Mike Thomson tempted to tackle this extremely complex issue. Although I deeply respect those individuals who worked on this bill for weeks, trying to address concerns from all sides of the issue, I voted against the final product. The bill did very little to improve the educational outcomes in struggling districts and communities and did not require early engagement from
the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. One of the most controversial provisions of the bill would add an option to allow students in these failing districts in St. Louis and Kansas City to transfer to private, nonsectarian schools. The bill would allow public dollars to follow students to these private schools, which drew the opposition of members who felt such a change would undermine the public education system and divert more dollars from public schools. This could be considered a form of vouchers and most rural school professionals have stood firm against this concept for many years. The transfer bill was sent back to the Senate, where it will receive further debate and changes. It will then go to “conference,” where members of both the House and Senate will try to settle the differences and bring it back for a final vote. This week will contain excitement as well as disappointments. We will find out the final numbers that will make up our budget for 2015 and we will also begin to see what legislation is going to move through the system and which bills that we have pursued all session will fail to make it.

STRAIGHT TALK FROM SAM
EPA control issues increasing
Government overreach continues to be a problem under President Obama. In addition to the Environmental Protection Agency land grab threatening Missouri property owners and livestock producers, there is ongoing duplication of federal programs at the Small Business Administration. Last week, the House Small Business Committee I chair exposed the SBA’s experimentation with unproven programs that will detract from their core services intended to serve small businesses. The SBA has created several initiatives — without the consent of Congress — that duplicate existing efforts. These new programs
drain resources from what the SBA has proven to be successful. The Administration’s penchant for government growth is predictably not leading to economic growth. As announced last Wednesday, the nation’s economy has slowed nearly to a standstill, and grew at a mere 0.1 percent rate for last quarter. Small businesses don’t need new bureaucracy and control; they need the Administration to get out of the way. If we’re going to put more people back to work and grow the economy, we need a more streamlined and efficient government to help small businesses.

Maryville senior Michael Filips reaches up to return a shot during the No. 1 doubles match against Clarinda on Tuesday at the Northwest High Rise Courts. Filips and his partner, senior Ian Macali, dropped the match 9-7.
Maryville drops close match By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
The Spoofhound tennis team hosted Clarinda in its final home meet of the year on Tuesday afternoon and came up just short of grabbing the win. After going 3-3 in singles and splitting the first two doubles matches, the game came down to seniors Michael Filips and Ian Macali in No. 1 doubles. The duo fought back to take a 6-5 lead after trailing during the early portion of the match. The No. 1 doubles team then dropped four of the next five games to lose 9-7. The doubles win cemented the 5-4 team win for Clarinda. The No. 3 doubles team of junior Coleman Tyler and senior Tate Mattson took the only doubles win for the Spoofhounds 8-6. Seniors Ben Goecken and Chris Dougan, the No. 2 doubles team, dropped their match 8-6. In singles play, Goecken (8-1), Filips (83) and Mattson (8-4) all won their matches for the Spoofhounds. Macali lost his match 9-7 after holding a lead for most of the contest. Tate and junior Michael Farlow also lost their matches 8-5 and 8-4, respectively. “I don’t think it was our best we could have played,” Maryville tennis coach Ni-
cole McGinness said. “Playing so much during the week is starting to get to us. Overall, we played well.” The Spoofhounds also had a meet Monday when they traveled to St. Joseph to take on Bishop LeBlond. The Hounds lost to LeBlond 5-4 for the second time this season. “It was a close one again,” McGinness said. “It really could have gone either way. Some of the kids that lost the first time won this time and the other way around. They played well.” In dropping back-to-back matches, the Hounds fall to 5-4 on the season. The meet closed the regular season for the Spoofhounds, who now turn their focus to the Midland Empire Conference tournament. “I think we’re going to do well,” McGinness said. “We’ve got two groups of doubles that are going to really do well at conference. The singles are ready to step it up. Hopefully, they’ll do well.” McGinness also said that the team is looking forward to getting another shot at taking down LeBlond at conference after dropping the two close regular-season matches. The conference tournament begins at 8:30 a.m. Friday, May 9 at Noyes Tennis Courts in St. Joseph.

Nathan Powell has been a head coach before, and sometimes that itch comes back. Powell, 36, was tabbed Tuesday afternoon by the Maryville R-2 School Board to take over the track program next year. “I just figured it was a good progressive and I’d been a head coach for several years before and I just kind of got an itch to get back into, take charge and see what we can do,” Powell said. Powell has served as an assistant coach for the last three years and has taught social studies at Maryville High School for the past six years, since coming over from King City. At King City, he was the head track coach for three years and also served as the head football coach, where he coached against current R-2 Superintendent Larry Linthacum. “I know he was head football coach when I was head football coach at South Harrison, so I’m familiar with him and what he brings to the table,” Linthacum said. “It was a natural transition. He applied for that and had a desire to continue building on the strengths within our track program as they move forward to try and reach their potential.” Powell will replace current track coach Lori Klaus who’s resignation effective at the end of the school year was accepted by the board of education. Assistant coaches Michael Klaus and Connor Kellerstrass, who took the head wrestling job, also resigned from their positions, again effective at the end of the school year. Prior to his time at King City, he spent two years at West Platte as an assistant and said he will bring the experience of working with so many good coaches to this position. “I think more than anything else, in King City I learned what not to do in a lot of
1
#
ways,” Powell said. “It was just myself and another coach, so we had to scramble and make due. Here, we’re really blessed with a lot of spots and coaches to help out. “Besides me and Mr. (Jordan) Moree, we were the only two that were going to stay on staff and I just think it’d be good to keep some continuity. I’ve been around Coach (Chris) Holt, who did a tremendous job and Coach Klaus, who’s obviously doing a good job now.” Maryville High School Assistant Principal Thom Alvarez, who will move to the principal’s role next year, said not only does Powell bring experience, he knows the program which makes the transition easier. “He brings a lot of experience. Not only has he been a track coach here, he’s been a track coach at his previous school,” Alvarez said. “Having been a coach on the staff, he knows both the male and the female athletes and he’s very excited about the position. He’s got some great ideas and some things he wants to establish and we’re excited to have him. It’s always good to move someone up from within.” Powell agreed that knowing the students makes the job easier, since he already knows what he has to work with from not only an athletic standpoint, but also a facilities standpoint. “Knowing the kids is the easiest thing. Just knowing day-to-day who you’re going to work with and what you’ve got to work with is great,” he said. “Being familiar with the facilities and the things we’ve got to work with, it’s really easy to step in and kind of say, ‘Here’s what we’re going to build toward, here’s what we would like to see improve,’ and it’s not starting from scratch. I think it’s a blessing to have this opportunity to move into a spot where I am familiar, I am comfortable and just see what we can do.”

Dorsey sleeping better ahead of draft By DAVE SKRETTA Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Much has changed since last year’s draft for Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey. For one thing, he’s not living out of suitcases, having just been hired to overhaul a 2-14 team. His family has moved to town, so he’s sleeping a bit better. And he’s feeling more comfortable in a Chiefs sweatshirt as opposed to the Packers one he wore for so many years. The biggest change, though? “About 22 picks,” Dorsey said with a chuckle. A year ago, the Chiefs had the No. 1 overall selection, the entire NFL waiting to see what they would do. But after going 11-5 and making the playoffs, the Chiefs sit at No. 23 in next week’s draft, left to ponder the moves just about every other team will make. It is an important draft for the Chiefs on many fronts. They lost a slew of players to free agency, including Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert and Pro Bowl punt returner Dexter McCluster. While the Chiefs are confident that they have replacements for those two already on the roster, there are other positions weakened by free agency where that is
not the case, and depth remains an issue up and down the roster. Meanwhile, the cash-strapped Chiefs were unable to make any significant moves in free agency to address their most pressing needs because of the salary cap. That means positions such as safety and wide receiver could become the areas of focus in the draft. “You would like to get a slam dunk. That’s all personnel guys’ objectives,” Dorsey said Friday. “I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy,” he said. “I believe everybody we select will help.” That belief is only emboldened by the fact that the Chiefs had more time to prepare for this year’s draft. Dorsey was hired shortly after the calendar flipped to 2013 and was forced to piece together his first class from the knowledge he gleaned while working in the front office in Green Bay and the legwork done by Kansas City scouts working under the previous regime. Now, he’s been able to tweak his scouting department to suit not only his needs, but also those of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, and spend an entire season developing a plan for the draft. “It’s a very arduous task. It’s turned into a yearlong cycle, as we speak,” Dorsey said. “With that being said, I’m very comfortable with this personnel
staff because it’s like-minded. They all understand what the total objective is of the organization. They all understand how I’d like things to be done. That’s very important. They understand when we sit in that draft room, it’s time for discussion. Anything can be said. If you want to say your piece, don’t hold back.” That level of comfort may not have existed last season, when the Chiefs were on the clock with the first overall pick. They wound up selecting Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher and he immediately moved into the starting lineup at right tackle as a rookie. Speaking of last year’s draft, Dorsey was unwilling to put a grade on it a year removed from making his first picks, saying that it takes at least three years to pass judgment. Fisher will be moving to left tackle to replace Albert, and running back Knile Davis showed flashes of brilliance last season. But otherwise, the first crop of rookies that Dorsey brought in struggled with injuries and did little to leave their mark. “Like I said in the past, and I’ll say it today, I’m very happy with that class,” Dorsey said, “and I look forward to great things from these guys coming up in this training camp.”
HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS Hounds drop 2nd game of season KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Maryville soccer team suffered its second defeat of the season — and second in its last three games — Monday night against Notre Dame de Sion. The Spoofhounds got on the board first as sophomore forward Mollie Holtman scored in the 11th minute. De Sion evened the score just before halftime, getting a goal in the 39th minute to send it to the break tied 1-1. Just one minute into the second half, Maryville took control again as junior forward Ashton Reuter scored on an assist from senior midfielder Cassie Holtman. De Sion scored in the 48th minute to tie it and scored the game-winner with five seconds to play in the game, sending Maryville to a heart-breaking loss. Sophomore keeper Kylie Reuter made seven saves for the Spoofhounds. Maryville (13-2) is back on the pitch at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, May 8 against Cameron at Maryville High School.
NORTHWEST SPORTS Bearcats earn 5 academic honors KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two members of the Northwest Missouri State tennis programs were named MIAA Scholar Athletes and three more Bearcats earned academic honor roll accolades on Tuesday. In all, 64 MIAA student-athletes received academic honors and 21 were named Scholar Athletes. Seniors Alexis Bartek and Lluis Altimires were named Scholar Athletes. Bartek has a perfect 4.00 gpa in elementary education and Altimires has a 3.64 gpa in marketing.

Alvaro Riveros has a 3.48 gpa in business management and Mannix has a perfect 4.00 gpa in food and nutrition: dietetics. To achieve honor roll status, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 and have at least two terms of attendance at the certifying member institution, excluding summer terms.
MISSOURI SPORTS Gadbois named 1st team All-SEC BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Redshirt sophomore outfielder Taylor Gadbois, of Maryville, was one of three Missouri softball players to earn first team All-Southeastern Conference honors on Tuesday.

Pan named to dean’s list
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Former Maryville resident and Northwest Missouri State University student Bingzhang Pan has been named to the dean’s list of the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences at Binghamton University. Binghamton is one of four university centers of the State University of New York. It serves approximately 15,000 students enrolled in programs leading to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees and offers a curriculum based on the liberal arts and selected professional and graduate programs.
another difference from Swaim’s cabs, which were equipped with meters. White said the flat rates make things simpler for customers and allow older riders, many of whom live on fixed incomes, to save a few bucks. If the length of White’s hours and workweek sound punishing, they are. And he knows that at some point he’s going to have to acquire at least one more vehicle and hire a couple of drivers, especially with a new baby on the way. At first, White figured the taxi business would start out as part time, and that he would continue working construction. But as things turned out, too many people have places to go and need a taxi to get there. “This has become a fulltime job,” he said — and then some. To cut his hours behind

Sparks opened his office at 1210 A South Main St. in May 2009. “There are many choices out there in the insurance marketplace,” said Dan Schultz, American Family Insurance’s president and chief operating officer. “The American Star Excellence in Customer Experience Certification lets consumers know these are agents with an established track record of excellent customer service.” The distinction was awarded following an evaluation process conducted under established American

Ultimately he would like to have at least one daytime replacement and one nightand-weekend replacement so he can take at least one day a week off. Not that he’s complaining about having too much business. So far, running his own cab business is turning out exactly the way White hoped it would, an enterprise with growth potential that allows him to support his family on his own terms. You have to admire a man who sees his shot at the American Dream and takes it. “My main goal right now is not to have a boss,” White said. “If I can make that work, I’ll be a happy man.”

American Family agent Sparks receives customer service honor
Taxi service sees growth Continued from Page 1 Another large block of patrons, White said, consists of older residents and a few regulars who simply prefer not to drive. Then there is the bar crowd, a segment of the market Swaim chose not to serve by closing up fairly early at night. White, on the other hand, runs his cab from 6 a.m. until 3 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and said that ferrying students and others out for a night on the town has proved lucrative both in terms of tips and because of the $2 after-midnight premium he charges on top of his regular $6 in-town fare. Sunday through Tuesday, White, who works seven days a week, operates his cab from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. The flat rates — $6 in town, $20 to $25 dollars to nearby communities, and $100 to or from KCI — is

Albert Bandura, who was ranked in 2002 as the fourth mostfrequentlyquotedpsychologistbehindB.F.Skinner,Sigmund Freud and Jean Piaget, said, “Copingwiththedemandsofeverydaylifewouldbeexceedingly trying if one could arrive at solutionstoproblemsonlybyactually performingpossibleoptionsand suffering the consequences.” Unfortunately, though, at the bridge table, if you chose a line that fails, you are not given a second chance.You must arrive at a solution to your problem before playing on. In this deal, North launches South into six spades.West leads a fourth-highest diamond four. East wins with his king and shifts to the heart jack. How should South continue? If you and your partner would have bid to six clubs (or the lucky six hearts), well done. If you would have stopped in game in spades, you perhaps did well. But let’s suppose all those points caused North to have a surge of pointed-black-suit adrenaline. (Yes, this would be a good deal for Roman Key Card Blackwood, because North would learn that anaceandthespadequeenwere missing.) The normal percentage play for no spade losers is a secondround finesse. However, if East has queen-third of spades, why didn’t he continue with the diamond ace at trick two, forcing dummy to ruff? He knows from his partner’s opening lead that you have another diamond in your hand. Don’t fall for it. Play offthespadekingandspadeace. If West’s queen does not drop, youcouldn’thavemadethecontract.

Student Senate president prepares for 2nd term By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer
Northwest Missouri State University Student Senate elections ended with a rare result this spring. Cody Uhing, Senate president for the 2013-’14 school year, was re-elected to a second term. His victory makes him only the third two-term Student Senate leader in the 92 years of the governance organization’s existence. “It’s humbling, but it’s validating,” Uhing said. “They elected me for a second term, and that gives me something to work for. It lets me know that I did well enough the first time around that they want me for a second time around. It really validates everything that I do. But to be the third in 92 years is exciting.” As Senate president, Uhing both runs what amounts to a student legislature and represents the student body before various constituencies, including the Northwest administration and local officials. “I represent all the students to the university, the administration, the city, to anyone,” Uhing said. “I sit on a number of committees, like the Faculty Senate, in which I represent the student voice. I have regular meetings with (Northwest President John) Jasinski or any of the other members of the Northwest leadership team on
student issues. If students bring something to me that needs addressed, I take it to whomever can help me get to an end goal and try and resolve that.” Uhing, who is double majoring in political science and economics, plans to graduate in spring of 2015. Before coming to Northwest as a freshman in 2011, he attended Tekamah-Herman High School in his hometown of Tekamah Neb. “I was on campus in the middle of October,” Uhing said. “It was the day that every college admissions director asks for. The trees were orange, purple, yellow and red. It was beautiful. As we drove away I said, ‘That’s the place I want to go.’ The trees brought me here, as I like to say.” But like a lot of freshmen, he wasn’t sure exactly what his college years would hold once he arrived on campus. “I had no idea what I was going to do,” Uhing said. “I didn’t know anyone here. I was the only one from my class that came. It was good to have something that I could excel in and progress through. Though if you had asked me when I was a freshman if I could see myself running for Student Senate president and winning it two years in a row, I wouldn’t have believed you.” But campus politics soon beckoned. “I didn’t have a whole lot
of interest in a lot of different organizations on campus, so I figured I’d try this one (the Senate),” Uhing said. “A friend of mine was running for a position, and I decided to throw my hat in the ring as well. I didn’t get the freshman position to begin with, but I was an associate member. Then there was a senator that resigned, and I ran for the position and got it.” After becoming a freshman representative, Uhing soon figured out that he had found his niche. “I started out as a freshman senator then I was a sophomore senator,” Uhing said. “I served as the organizational affairs chair while I was also the student liaison (to the Maryville City Council). Then my junior year, and going into my senior year, I’ve been elected president. It’s been a busy four years.” Uhing’s role as council liaison meant he was soon moving in the arena of municipal issues as well as campus policy. That role grew noticeably more public as both the council and the university wrestled with proposals meant to create a comprehensive policy with regard to local liquor laws, especially as applied to the legal bar entry age and offcampus student “house parties.” “With the alcohol ordinances that have gone

KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM
Northwest Missouri State University senior Cody Uhing was recently elected to a second one-year term as Student Senate President. He is only the third student to serve two terms at the helm of the campus governance organization since it was formed 92 years ago. through, we met regularly with City Council members to advance the student position,” Uhing said. “(As president) I like to leave that up to the current student liaison, but I’m still involved in the meetings.” Of course, along with serving as president, Uhing, like a lot of other students, is still trying to figure out where the future will lead after he graduates next year. “I have no idea,” he admits. “I’ve thought about grad school. I kind of like campaign work, so I may
try to get into politics. I really have no idea right now. I’m just kind of playing it by ear.” But though he may be unsure of the road, the destination is becoming clearer. “I wouldn’t mind working in the public sector,” Uhing said. “I really enjoy government and politics and stuff like that. I don’t know what I want to do in the public sector, if it’s work for the government in one of the agencies or work for senators and representatives, but ultimately I’d like to end up
in the public sector.” And then there’s the option of running for office himself. “I don’t want to say I haven’t thought about it,” Uhing said. “If the time comes, and it’s for the right reasons, I would look into (running for office.) I don’t want to plan to run for a political office, but I’m not counting it out. I like to give back. If I get settled in somewhere I love, and I think I could give back in that way, then I would probably run for something.”
