Maryville native Joshua McKim has been hired as execu-tive director of Nodaway County Economic Development.

McKim, 36, a graduate of Northwest Missouri State Uni-versity who holds a master’s degree in economics from the School of Business at Oklahoma State University, has led economic development programs in Junction City, Kan., and Stillwater, Okla., since leaving Maryville in 2005. Fol-lowing his graduation from Northwest, he spent a year as an economic development planner for the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of

Governments.For the past year, he has served as president of JAG So-

lutions Group, an Oklahoma business consulting firm that helped developing companies secure more than $100 mil-lion in assistance from local, state and federal agencies, as well as through private funding. Prior to that, he had served for three years as executive director of the Junction City/Geary County Economic Development Commission and four years as economic development division director for the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce.

“I have always loved Maryville,” McKim said Friday morning after finalizing his agreement with NCED. “I have nothing but fond memories from there.

Station owners apply for licensesConvenience stores under new management

(TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM)Closed for much of this year, the old Finish Line convenience store at 620 North Main Street, right, is soon to open under new management as a Con-oco station. Also changing hands in recent weeks was Shop ‘n’ Hop, a gas station in the 600 block of South Main on the east side of the Halsey Street intersection.

By TONY BROWNNews Editor

Two longtime retail loca-

tions flanking downtown Maryville to the north and south along Main Street are changing owners.

During its past two regular sessions, the Maryville City Council acted to approve li-quor license applications for companies representing both the former Finish Line con-venience store at 620 North Main and the Shop ‘n’ Hop convenience store at 623 South Main.

The transition at Shop ‘n’ Hop, now to be called Jesse’s Last Stop, took place last week, and the store shut down for only a few hours before reopening under new management. The old Finish Line store has been shuttered for months but is scheduled to reopen soon as a Conoco station.

According to a report submitted to the council by City Clerk Sheila Smail, Finish Line’s “potential new owner” is AI&D headed by Mohammad Ishfaq and Ejaz Ahmed, both of metropoli-tan Kansas City. Documents identified the company’s “managing officer” as Rich-ard Bryant.

Municipal staff told the council that underground fuel tanks on the property

(TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM)Members of the Northwest Missouri State University Board of Regents and President John Jasinski laugh in response to a joke offered by Regent John Richmond, sixgth from right, after the panel voted unani-mously to name the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship after former President Dean L. Hubbard.

STATE/NATIONAL NEWS

nothing but fond memories from there.

“I welcome the oppor-tunity to become a part of making sure people get the proper impression of Maryville,” he said. “And I especially welcome the chance to make a difference in my home town — my home town certainly made a difference in me.”

McKim is the son of the Rev. and Mrs. Paul McKim of Maryville. His brothers, Ben and David, also live here.

“Maryville is a great com-munity,” the new director said. “It is very important to me. I went to school there; I graduated from college there; I met my wife there.”

McKim’s employment was finalized Friday by the NCED board of direc-tors. Board president Beth Hawkins expressed thanks to the directors and others who served on the section committee that secured the replacement for former Executive Director Lee

Langerock, who recently accepted another position in Independence. His first contract calls for an annual salary of $70,000.

Looking ahead to begin-ning his tenure in Maryville on Jan. 6, McKim said the recent closing of the Ener-gizer plant is “obviously a major loss, emotionally as well as financially.”

Finding a new occupant, or occupants, for the almost half-million-square-foot facility at Maryville’s east edge that is now vacant is “the biggest issue we will be facing, but sustaining — expanding — the retail base has to be a priority also,” McKim said. “We have a big retail giant to the south and we have to react and re-spond to that.”

McKim does bring some experience in replacing ma-jor industrial departures, however.

“Stillwater lost two ma-jors that were big investors; everybody in town was con-nected to them,” he said. “But, we were able to fill both with new employees and it gave us the opportu-

nity to head in a new direc-tion.”

Between the two replace-ments, the moves from Stillwater were offset by securing one international company which is slated invest $150 million and hire 600 employees; another new business will invest $15 million and employee between 200 and 300. Dur-ing his time at the Stillwa-ter chamber, the community was recognized as one of the fastest growing and most active micropolitan areas in the United States, McKim said.

McKim and his wife, An-gie, are the parents of three children, Grace, 10; Claire, 7, and Jonah, 5.

ment in all aspects of University operations.

A member of the Board of Ex-aminers for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and the Excellence in Missouri Foundation Board of Directors, he received the Missouri Governor’s Quality Lead-ership Award in 1998.

During the 1980s, Hubbard was instrumental in making Northwest the first comprehensive electronic campus in the United

States. Then, in the mid-2000s, he helped engineer a program that continues to provide students with a laptop computer at no cost above

regular tuition and fees.A first-generation college gradu-

ate, Hubbard worked for decades to make higher learning affordable and worked hard to promote North-west’s American Dream Grant, which provided tuition, room,

board, books and the use of a com-puter to lower-income students.

During their years in Maryville, both Hubbard and his wife, Aleta, were active in civic affairs, includ-ing Aleta Hubbard’s central role in raising nearly $3 million for a new streetscape around the Maryville

courthouse square.After retiring, the Hubbards

moved to Kansas City where Dean Hubbard was later named president of Saint Luke’s College of Health Sciences, a position he still holds.

have been inundated by groundwater and are in the process of being removed and replaced. Granting a liquor license, therefore, is contingent on approval of a “life safety inspection” required under city ordi-nance.

Fees associated with the proposed Conoco store for weekday and Sunday pack-age liquor licenses total a little more than $500 and have been submitted, ac-

cording to Smail’s report.County records show

the property and build-ing were owned by 110 Services LLC at 10433 N. March Ave. in Kansas City, though the ownership of the business itself has been a jumble since at least May 2011.

That’s when patrol cars from the Nodaway Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office and Maryville Public Safety surrounded the store and seized more than 20 box-es filled with records and what were believed to be drug-related substances.

Following the raid, the

store opened under new management but later closed again.

Shop ‘n’ Hop has been acquired by Kulwinder Sohal, who listed Nirunjan Singh as managing officer.

STAFF REPORTMaryville Daily Forum

Dr. Stuart Krein, a psychiatrist at St. Francis Family Life Services in Maryville, is holding out hope to patients addicted to opiates such as prescription painkillers.

Krein is licensed to conduct an outpa-tient detoxification program using Subox-one, which provides relief from cravings and prevents withdrawal.

Over the past several years, abuse of pain medications such as Vicodin, Oxy-Contin and Percocet has risen dramati-cally. Whether the increase is due to easy access or the myth that abused prescription drugs aren’t as harmful as street drugs, the fact is that law enforcement and social ser-vices professionals are reporting alarming levels of addiction.

Such opiate abuse is second only to mar-ijuana, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse.

With Krein’s arrival, outpatient treat-ment for such addiction is now available in the Maryville region.

Krein is certified under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Ad-ministration to prescribe Suboxone, a medication that binds to opiate receptors in the brain.

“(Suboxone) programs have had as high as 70 percent proven success rates,” Krein said, “but very few physicians can pre-scribe it.”

Since Suboxone prevents withdrawal and is offered as an office-based program, it makes treatment more convenient for some patients.

“Patients not only begin to break free from their addiction, they also have the ability to go back to work or family activi-ties the next day,” Krein said. “This medi-cation is for people addicted to opiates who can’t get off them. They want to but don’t know how.”

Lincoln University trims payroll

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Several offi-cials at Lincoln University are losing their jobs as the public university reorganizes while trying to trim costs.

The grounds director and the vice presidents for administration, academic affairs and univer-sity advancement are all being let go with the vice president for student affairs taking a 22 percent salary cut.

Lincoln President Kevin D. Rome said most of the changes take effect Jan. 1.

Weather blamed for fatal wrecks CAMDENTON, Mo. (AP) — Wintry weather

has contributed to four deadly crashes on Mis-souri roads in two days.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported that one person died Friday in Camden County when a vehicle crashed into a minivan after slid-ing on ice. Later Friday morning in Phelps County a second person died when a car lost control on an icy road and overturned.

A third person died around noon Friday in Franklin County when a vehicle lost control on an ice-covered bridge and veered into oncoming traffic. The fourth victim died Saturday in Henry County when a pickup truck began sliding and hit a tree.

Prison program donates to pantries

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri prison program has donated a record 163 tons of fresh fruit and vegetables to food pantries, shelters, churches, nursing homes and schools this year.

The donation from the Restorative Justice Gar-den program shattered last year’s 117-ton record.

Clinton provides a daisyI don’t spend a lot of time in flow-

er gardens, but today I would like to pick a daisy. Perhaps it will make you think of spring.

I plucked this daisy from the richly fertilized soil of liberal thought. The speaker was Hillary Clinton. The time was a few years back when the unelected Hillary was put to work changing health care according to liberal prescription and presidential instruction. Her comment was the rationalization for HillaryCare, later reconstructed as ObamaCare.

Said Hillary, “We just think people will be too focused on saving money, and they won’t get the care for their children and themselves that they need. . . .The money has to go to the federal government because the federal government will spend that money better.”

What can we learn about liberals from 43 words?

A lot. The statement should be construed as a construct of the Left’s intent. Certainly it demonstrates the long-standing liberal belief that pro-ductive adults are incapable of mak-ing good decisions. It suggests that people can’t take care of themselves in a society once based on individual responsibility instead of the extrac-tion and redistribution of resources. Coupled with a politically guided sense of urgency is the predictable insistence on helplessness.

The tendered solution is more gov-ernment. Yes, Big Government can take your money, said Hillary, and do a better job of spending it than you can. Place your trust in government and all will be well.

When Hillary said, “The money has to go to the federal government. . .,” she was echoing the liberal tenet of governmental paternalism; that is, citizens are children floundering helplessly in a system designed by greed and profit, not by the good in-

tentions of big-hearted government functionaries who can fix anything if provided enough cash.

HillaryCare was a single-payer blueprint. Its guiding principle was everyone would pay premiums to the federal government and receive health care in return. The proposal failed due to resistance by the vot-ing population and an unofficial consortium of invested interests that objected to a bureaucracy run-

ning something as personal as health care. There was also the matter of lost business and the accompanying impact on the economy. The Demo-crat-controlled Congress of the time rejected it. The shock to the Clinton system was considerable. In ‘94 the House went Republican.

HillaryCare was removed more than defeated. Lefties understood the public despised the notion of government-controlled health care and persistence could prove detri-mental politically. They sat on it like a hen on an egg.

The election of Barack Obama resurrected government-controlled health care, but the strategy was changed. False assurances were built into the proposal. Opposition was suffocated. Single payer was al-

luded to more than promoted. It was rushed to passage sans evaluation.

Thereafter, ObamaCare was shrouded in secrecy, the reality of its impact on deductibles, co-pays, pre-mium inflation, and a host of other issues was unknown until the plan began to unfold. This is the Left’s idea of how to govern.

Today we have a plan based on lies, dysfunction, and dismay. Poli-cies have been cancelled, costs have risen exponentially, and this admin-istration has failed to demonstrate competence in the governing of its own prerogative.

Hillary said, “. . .the federal gov-ernment will spend that money bet-ter.” Allow me an analogy on how this government really works.

Imagine every week you bring home $1,000 on which to live, but you find, each week, that money is inadequate for what you want. You borrow another $400 to get by. Ev-ery week, week after week, month after month, year after year, you bor-row more. The compilation of debt becomes massive. The accumulation of interest grows. There is no plan to check the spending, no goal to pay back what is borrowed, no concern about the impact on the economy or the destruction of the middle class upon whose shoulders ObamaCare rests.

The same government that can‘t balance a budget would like very much to run health care as it wishes. Just so you know, Obama and Clin-ton’s goal is still single payer. It is the only way they can have the kind of control they crave. It will be in-teresting to watch their methods in achieving their objective.

That wonderful meadow of daisies sown by the Left’s fertile rhetoric has proven to be a field of noxious weeds. Every farmer knows flowers don’t always triumph over weeds.

When is the appropriate time to begin listening to holi-day music?

Some folks will insist that Thanksgiving must be con-cluded before the Christmas season can begin. They’re probably right.

But what about the rest of us, the out-casts who occasionally want to play some winter tunes on an October day? Where do we fit?

For me, it comes down to a fundamental difference in the way I tend to celebrate holidays anyway. Why designate a single day to express something that most of us enjoy so much?

Many use Christmas to celebrate the birth of Christ—that’s fine, but aren’t Christians basically supposed to celebrate their Lord each and every day? Same with Thanksgiving: shouldn’t we be thankful for our blessings 365 days a year?

I suppose Black Friday has contributed to my feelings about this. A fake, com-mercial ‘holiday’ has effectively ruined a big piece of two other real holidays.

Thanksgiving meals are being abbreviated, clean-up rushed so that shoppers can make it to the retailers in time for the best sales on the prime gift items. Christmas had al-ready begun for many to deteriorate into commercialism—but did we really have to allow the least selfish holiday to become ‘Black Friday Eve?’

It’s the danger of taking a positive feeling and assigning it to one day: somebody somewhere is going to try to profit from an important occasion, and ultimately take a big por-tion of the good away.

Even I remember when the holidays were basically times when people bought the same goodies (candy was

my favorite) that were available during the rest of the year, and on the holiday you just got more. Now, every season has specially packaged holiday candy offerings.

It’s all overboard, and I can’t stand it. Men aren’t gener-ally reputed to be the best shoppers anyway, but I refuse to go to a Black Friday sale and give the stores my dollar.

And as for these stores that are actually opening on Thanksgiving, I hope they lose money. Those people working at the check-outs, in the stock rooms or on the sales floor deserve to be home with their families, and I will not encourage stores to be open on such a day.

By the way: anyone think the CEO of these companies will be headed to work on Thanksgiving? No, me neither.

I know that there are perks to being the boss, but I also wouldn’t dream of taking a recognized holiday off work, but forcing my employees to miss important family time to come to the office.

I guess that’s why I don’t work in retail. I like giving gifts, and I like to receive them as well. But

if we’re going to sacrifice 365 days a year for the retail gods to fill their pockets, I’m choosing not to participate on the days that have traditionally been reserved for families.

Which is our nation lacking more right now, quality shopping time or quality family time? I rest my case.

I know some of you were headed to the stores on Black Friday. I hope you didn’t miss me. I’ll always remember those 1985 images of moms fighting over Cabbage Patch Kids, all in the name of Christmas.

Golden opportunityfor McKim, NCED

There is an old saying, something about a new broom sweeping clean.

Well, at their regular monthly meeting last Friday, Nod-away County Economic Development directors bought a couple of new brooms — and both will hopefully live up to that expectation.

The lesser of the two purchases was a new brush for the sweeper used to clean and clear the sidewalks around the Maryville Square. The major “purchase,” if you will, was the employment of hometown product Joshua McKim as the organization’s new executive director.

McKim’s main job will be to fill those same Maryville sidewalks — with new customers, for new retail estab-lishments that will meet the demands of an increased population, spurred by new and expanded industry.

A tall order, to be certain, but one to which McKim’s credentials give every indication he can measure up. As economic development director for the Stillwater, Okla., Chamber of Commerce, he filled not one, but two, empty facilities — equivalent to twice the size of Maryville’s now-deserted Energizer building. Those combined in-vestments, totaling more than $165 million and resulting in as many as 900 jobs, also succeeded in thrusting that community onto the international stage.

Economic development and high school football might seem to be remotely related, only in that both involve lo-cal folks, local families. Maryville Spoofhound football coach Matt Webb, a preacher’s son, came “back home” and promptly produced back-to-back state champion-ships.

Nodaway County Economic Development Executive Director Josh McKim, also a preacher’s boy, takes pride in having “grown up” with Webb. If his initial impact is anywhere close to that of his boyhood buddy, Maryville’s future should be a clean sweep.

My Favorite Muffin under new management teamBy KEVIN BIRDSELL Maryville Daily Forum

After selling out of every muffin in stock during its grand opening October 23, My Favorite Muffin is back.

Shuttered earlier this year, the coffee and specialty snack shop has re-opened under new management, and owner Mike Bailey has high hopes for success.

Bailey owned a My Fa-vorite Muffin franchise in West Des Moines, Iowa, for 12 years and sees a lot of potential in the Maryville store.

“I saw it as a great op-portunity to open a second store,” Bailey said. “The location has very good po-tential in a tight, close-knit

community.”Derek Pulliam, hired as

general manager, took the reins in early December.

“It’s been excellent,” Pul-liam said. “Mike’s experi-ence has really helped me out in every aspect of run-ning this store. The experi-ence he has is really valu-able, and his work ethic is fantastic. It’s nice to work for someone as enthusiastic as Mike.”

Bailey admits living more than two hours away from his second store has posed a challenge, but he adds that he has a lot of confidence in Pulliam’s ability to run the Maryville operation.

“I’m very hands on,” Bai-ley said. “Turning the busi-ness over to someone else

to run is a big challenge for me. But Derek is a perfect fit for what I’m looking for. He is showing a lot of pride and enthusiasm in the store.”

The owner and manager want Maryville to know that their store has a lot more to offer than just muffins. Customers can also order specialty coffees, bagel sandwiches and a variety of cream cheeses. In addition, a number of catering options are available.

“The goal of catering is to get the fresh product out to people and feed a lot of people,” Bailey said. “It’s a good way to get our product into peoples’ hands.”

Pulliam stressed the im-portance of getting the My Favorite Muffin name out in

the community.“The people in the com-

munity have been really re-ceptive to our product,” Pul-liam said. “We want to reach out more and get involved in the community. Hopefully we can get that picked up.”

Expanding the reach of the store to everyone in town, including students at Northwest Missouri State University, is very impor-tant to Pulliam. To that end, the store has hosted a live radio broadcast and offers daily specials.

“We don’t have any defi-nite plans for events, but we plan to have one at the beginning of the spring tri-mester that students and community members can participate in,” Pulliam said.

American Family agency supports Holiday Hoops By KAITY HOLTMANMaryville Daily Forum

North Missouri Ameri-can Family Insurance agents and High School Holiday Hoops are work-ing together to raise mon-ey for a local high school through a basketball-based contest. Two representa-tives, including adminis-trators, instructors, coach-es and fans, from each participating school will participate in free-throw contests at half-time dur-ing 64 games throughout the season.

At the conclusion of the ninth annual Holiday Hoops event, the individ-ual who scores the most free throws will win the grand prize of $500 for their high school. A sec-ond-place cash prize will also be awarded by Ameri-can Family Insurance.

“We feel giving back to the youth and schools in our area is an important step in showing our com-mitment and support to our local schools,” said Laura Thompson, Ameri-can Family Insurance agent in Maryville.

Participating agents in the program are Laura Thompson of Maryville, Cara McClellan of Tren-ton, Sandy Ward of Galla-

tin, Bina Peace of Princ-eton/Unionville, Karen Chaney of Cameron, Mack Molloy of Carroll-ton, Bradford Doolittle of Albany/Stanberry and Taylor Crouse of Mound City.

“This is the first time the American Family agents from north Missouri have been involved on the cor-porate sponsorship level and we are excited with the support and the fun we expect this event will gen-erate,” said Steve Maxey, Holiday Hoops coordina-tor. “Not only will this add to the half-time entertain-ment schedule but will be a terrific cash award for the winning high schools.”

High School Holiday Hoops begins on Dec. 20 and concludes on Jan. 4, with all games played on the campus of North Cen-tral Missouri College in Trenton. Holiday Hoops is sponsored by the NCMC Foundation, Inc.

Maxey said American Family is just one of the many corporate sponsors this year who are stepping up to make a difference at Holiday Hoops and the support of each and every one is most appreciated. Other sponsors and special promotions will be an-nounced in the days ahead.

There were bumps and definitely some challenges along the way, but North-west is heading back to Florence, Ala., for the first time in four years following Saturday’s 27-13 semifinal victory over Grand Valley.

Head coach Adam Dorrel made sure Saturday wasn’t one of those bumps as he went for the win, up seven points, rather than playing it safe and running it with less than five minutes remaining in the game.

“Unfortunately, I’ve lost some big games here at Northwest and I’ve always tried to learn from that as a play-caller,” Dorrel said. “When you’re playing scared and you don’t play to win, it really filter downs to your kids. We just talked

about that all week — play-ing to win.”

And playing for the win paid off as senior quarter-

back Trevor Adams found junior wide receiver Reuben

Thomas a few steps behind the Grand Valley secondary

for a 43-yard touchdown that provided the winning margin.

“Whenever we were able to complete that pass, it was just one of those feel-ings that you don’t get that often,” Adams said. “It was so cool to see that and see everybody celebrate.”

Adams’ second touch-down pass to Thomas sealed the Bearcats’ eighth na-tional title game appearance and sixth in the last nine seasons, setting up a date with Lenoir-Rhyne (N.C), who defeated West Chester (Penn.) 42-14 despite never throwing a pass. The Bears ran for 451 yards and six rushing touchdowns.

“It took us a while to get back,” said junior defensive end Matt Longacre, who finished with a season-high three sacks. “(Defensive co-

Hounds making stridesBy JASON LAWRENCESports Editor

With a successful football team, some-times basketball gets put on the back-burner until December. With Maryville winning back-to-back Class 3 state titles, the Spoof-hounds are used to playing catch-up with their opponents early.

This season has been no different as the Hounds have run into several teams that had more practice time together than the young Maryville team.

Head coach Mike Kuwitzky has just two seniors this season and is trotting out a younger lineup than recent years and the Hounds had to play their first game with just one practice under their belts with the full team.

“We only had one practice and then we had to take the floor against a Savannah team that had been practicing for a month,” Kuwitzky said. “A lot of it was just rusty.”

The Spoofhounds had a rough opening week, as a result, going 0-3 in the Savan-nah Tournament, but are finally getting their footing after back-to-back wins over Clar-inda (Iowa) and St. Joseph Benton last Fri-day night.

“We had a rough Savannah Tournament,” Kuwitzky said. “It was a very disappointing tournament. I didn’t feel like we got better during the week.”

The Spoofhounds settled into a seven-or-eight-man rotation prior to last Friday

night’s home opener.“As the course of the season goes on,

these guys just got to get a lot of playing time, a lot of repetition, a lot of experience,” Kuwitzky said. “As the year goes on, we’re going to get better at all levels. We’re going to have our bad moments, but the last two games we showed signs.”

Against Benton, the Spoofhounds showed signs throughout the game, but could never quite pull away from the Cardi-nals. Maryville led 18-16 after one quarter of play, but went into the locker room down 29-27.

Late in the third quarter, the Hounds stole the momentum, getting a buzzer-beating la-yup from freshman guard Trey Oglesby to knot the game at 37.

“He’s a student of the game, he loves the game and I feel very confident that he can handle (the pressure),” Kuwitzky said of Oglesby.

After two quick buckets from Benton to open the fourth, which rattled Maryville at times with its full-court press, Maryville took control, holding a slim lead for the majority of the fourth quarter and sealing it with some clutch free throws from Oglesby and senior guard Trent Nally, who finished with a team-high 13 points.

Junior guard Hagen Snow chipped in 10 points and junior forward Mitch Worthing-ton added nine.

The Spoofhounds (2-3) are back in action tonight, hosting East Buchanan.

(JASON LAWRENCE/DAILY FORUM) Maryville freshman guard Trey Oglesby beat a Benton defender to the rim ahead of the third quarter buzzer last Friday night. Oglesby scored 11 points, including six in the fourth quarter to help the Hounds win 53-50.

Jefferson uses defense to stay undefeated

By KEVIN BIRDSELLStaff Reporter

After watching their girls

team defend home court, the Jefferson Eagles (5-0) hoped to follow suit and re-main undefeated against a

fast-paced Albany team. The teams traded blows

in the first quarter, which finished with Jefferson hav-

ing a three-point advantage. The second quarter was a different story. The Eagles’ defense only allowed two second quarter points, lead-ing to a 27-11 halftime ad-vantage.

Head coach Tim Jermain said defense is something he wants people to think of when they see this Eagle team.

“It’s the thing we hang our hat on, so to speak,” Jer-main said. “Especially our full-court defense with try-ing to disrupt what the other team is doing and our focus needs to remain there.”

After the slow second quarter for the Warriors, they came back out in the second half with renewed vigor. The teams were go-ing shot for shot to start the third quarter when Jermain called a time out to refocus his team.

“They did a great job of getting the ball in the bas-ket to start,” Jermain said. “I told them we have got to find a way to stop them. We were making shots on the other end and we couldn’t let them keep scoring. I told them we have to refocus and we did a better job, espe-cially there at the end of the third quarter.”

Both teams play an up-

tempo game, and that showed in the fourth quar-ter.

Defense on both sides let up and more baskets started to fall, but Jefferson was able to pull out the victory, 61-46, in a game that was closer than the final score indicated.

Senior Kyler Farnan led the Eagles in scoring with 15 points. Sophomore Ja-son Sullivan chipped in 11 points. Sullivan scored eight straight points for the Eagles in the third quarter to help them pull away.

Lady Eagles defend home court

The Jefferson Lady Ea-gles jumped out to an early lead on Albany last Friday and never looked back, eve-ning up their record at 3-3.

Albany scored the first basket of the game, then Jefferson scored the next 13 points, leading to a lopsided 15-4 first-quarter advantage.

The quick start sealed the game for the Lady Eagles. The Lady Warriors came out in the second half with more intensity, leading to a more competitive second half.

Eagles coach Tyler Ped-ersen felt as if they weren’t playing with the same de-fensive edge and urgency in

the second half.“I felt like our urgency

in the second half — some of that intensity let down just a little bit,” Pedersen said. “We really struggled to score in the second half.”

Shots that normally fall for the Lady Eagles were not doing so in the second half. That misfortune con-tributed to the closer latter half of basketball.

“I think we took some quick shots,” Pedersen said. “Against a zone and when you have a lead, there’s just a fine line there. You want to keep attacking, taking good shots and making the other team guard side-to-side. We took some shots that we were capable of hitting, we just didn’t shoot very well.”

Despite the second-half letdown, the Eagles were still able to pull out the 39-28 victory. Junior Brooklyn Stoll lead the way for the Eagles with eight points. Fellow junior Makayla Wilmes chipped in with seven points.

Jefferson travels to Mound City Dec. 17 to face off against the Panthers. The Lady Eagles will play at 6:30 p.m. with the boys to follow at 8 p.m.

ordinator Rich) Wright, this week, talked about it a lot, kind of the feeling you get after the game and you see the goal posts come down. You can’t really put it into words, but it’s a great feel-ing and I’m so happy for the guys that we get to experi-ence it and kind of make the last trip down to Florence. A lot of us haven’t been down there, so it’s going to be a new experience and (I’m) really looking forward to it.”

Grand Valley made the road to Florence — for what could possibly be the last Division II title game played there, at least for a while — tougher than the Bearcats’ last two opponents. North-west rolled past Minnesota-Duluth and St. Cloud State by a combined margin of 104-42.

Grand Valley jumped out to an early lead, getting a pair of first quarter field goals from Joel Schipper.

The first one came on a short field after Adams’ screen pass to Thomas fell incomplete behind the line of scrimmage and was pounced on by the Lakers.

“Your heart just sinks when, we call that dart screen, it’s just the worst feeling to see that ball be thrown like that,” Dorrel said. “Then, I don’t know what it is, but there’s just this calming effect with our

kids. They look each other in the eye and look me in the eye and say, ‘We’re gonna

be fine.’”Then Northwest’s of-

fense woke up as Adams

and sophomore quarterback Brady Bolles rotated snaps and the sophomore capped

a nine-play, 80-yard drive with a six-yard carry to give the ‘Cats a lead they wouldn’t surrender.

“Brady did an awesome job tonight,” Adams said. “He really did — making throws and making runs. I’m really happy and proud of that guy. I just think that brings a little complexity to our offense.”

Two possessions later, Adams committed a second turnover that nearly had the Bearcats looking up from the losing half of the score-board again. He couldn’t handle a snap at the Grand Valley one yardline and tried multiple times to cor-ral it before Lakers’ safety Erik Thompson scooped it up and headed for open field. Junior wide receiver Korey Jackson chased him down and the Lakers missed a 34-yard field goal to end the drive.

“I thought a huge play was the fumble on the goal line,” Dorrel said. “That young man for Grand Valley scooped and was gonna be gone. None of those o-line-men were gonna catch him and Korey Jackson came from the back. I really think that was a huge play. (I’m) just really proud of Korey, I thought he stepped up big.”

Jackson also had four catches for 72 yards playing in place of injured senior re-ceiver Clint Utter, who Dor-rel said would be back for next weekend’s title game.

Northwest drove down and RS-freshman Simon

Mathieson kicked a 19-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.

The Bearcats added 10 more points in the third quarter — a 28-yard scor-ing strike from Adams, who finished 15-of-21 for 284 yards, to Thomas, who hauled in seven catches for 143 yards and a 25-yard field goal from Mathieson.

However, Grand Val-ley wouldn’t go away and showed why they have won four national titles. They started to rally back, like they have seven times this season, including the last two weeks against Colorado State-Pueblo and West Tex-as A&M.

Heath Parling connected with wide receiver Brandan Green on passes of 24 and 27 yards to move the Lakers into scoring position, and on fourth down from the four yardline, Parling hit tight end Jamie Potts on a fade route to bring the score back to 20-13.

Dorrel then pulled the trigger, going for the win. And it paid off.

Northwest and Lenoir-Rhyne will kick off at 11 a.m. Dec. 21 at Braly Mu-nicipal Stadium in Florence.

“We’re super excited to get back, especially this senior class,” Adams said. “We’ve been working so hard to get back to Florence and being able to experience this with our family and this team is awesome. It’s a tre-mendous feeling.”

(KEVIN BIRDSELL/DAILY FORUM) Northwest senior quarterback Trevor Adams scrambled for 21 yards to set up a 19-yard field goal by Simon Mathieson as time expired in the first half of the Bearcats’ 27-13 semifinal victory over Grand Valley State last Saturday at Bearcat Stadium.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals might have found their answer at second base.

The Royals and veteran Omar Infante reached a tentative agreement on a four-year contract Friday night, a person fa-miliar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the contract.

The deal was first reported by Fox Sports.

Royals general manager Dayton Moore has said throughout the offseason that upgrading at second base was a priority. Kansas City used six players at the position last season, though none did enough to make the Royals feel comfortable moving forward.

Infante, who turns 32 on Dec. 26, would stabilize second base in Kansas City for the first time in years. He hit .318

with 10 homers and 51 RBIs in 118 games for Detroit last season.

Infante received substantial interest from the New York Yankees, who were seeking a replacement for Robinson Cano. But the Yankees were hesitant to give In-fante more than three years, and the Roy-als decided to give the versatile infielder an extra year to help consummate the deal.

Infante played all of his games at sec-ond base for Detroit last season, but the former All-Star also has logged signifi-cant time at shortstop and third base while playing a bit in the outfield.

He’ll play the majority of his time at second base in Kansas City, where Emilio

Bonifacio, Jamey Carroll, Chris Getz, Johnny Giavotella, Elliot Johnson and Miguel Tejada each tried to fill in last season. They combined to hit .243 with just four home runs.

The fallback plan for the Royals was to go into next sea-son with Bonifacio as their primary second baseman, but he’ll likely become a utilityman now.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Ja-maal Charles tied a franchise re-cord with five touchdowns in a game, Alex Smith threw five TD passes and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Raiders 56-31 on Sunday

fourth team ever to make the play-offs a year after losing at least 14 games. Kansas City is tied for first place in the AFC West with Den-ver but needs help to win the di-vision because the Broncos swept the season series.

Charles gained 215 yards from scrimmage as the Chiefs put up the highest point total allowed in Raiders’ history.

Matt McGloin threw four inter-ceptions and lost a fumble while sharing time with Terrelle Pryor. Oakland (4-10) lost its fourth straight game.

ASTRO-GRAPHMONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2013

by Bernice Bede Osol

This is the year to fight for what’s yours. Past limitations have lifted, and it’s high time that you got your house in order. Learn from experience and avoid situations that seem too risky. Use your instincts and follow your intuition.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You may get an opportunity to meet people who can help you reach your ca-reer goals. You’ll need to mount a mas-sive charm offensive if you want to bol-ster your reputation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your moodiness and changing attitudes may alienate you from friends and fam-ily. Be careful what you say. Try to avoid being controversial, and make amends quickly before a situation spins out of control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Avoid getting caught up in details. Maintaining a general overview of a situation should do for now. Your time is better spent reading or meeting up with friends and colleagues who provide mental stimula-tion.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Trav-eling or group activities will foster new partnerships. Avoid investing in mon-eymaking schemes. Be sure to consult with a financial adviser before you open your wallet.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Seek a promotion or a more lucrative position at work. Be wary of competition -- peers may try to make you look bad. If you take special care to avoid being criti-cized, affairs will work out well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is

not the time to worry about your person-al life. Focus on your professional goals, and you’ll be amazed by what you can accomplish.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you get out and meet like-minded people, you could expand your network of friends. It is also a very good time to consider expanding your family or circle of loved ones.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Oppor-tunities for partnerships abound among the right people. Now is the time to make a difference through involvement in humanitarian ventures. Take a mea-sured, rational approach when dealing with children.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your work rather than home life is where you will shine most right now, so focus your en-ergy there. But don’t neglect your do-mestic responsibilities entirely -- try to maintain a balance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Plan to travel, whether for business or pleasure. Self-improvement efforts will make you feel good and boost your aesthetic ap-peal. Make decisions while free from outside influence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Pay at-tention to nutrition, as unwanted weight gain is likely at this time. Maintain a healthy and active routine. You can take control if you pay attention and are will-ing to work at it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Close friends and relatives may steer you in the wrong direction regarding a sensi-tive situation. Keep in mind that it is you who must endure the consequences of your actions.

Heading toward elevated heightsPhyllis Diller said, “We

spend the first 12 months of our children’s lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next 12 telling them to sit down and shut up.”

At the bridge table, some players are scared of 12 -- the number of tricks needed for a small slam. Others zoom that high whenever there is the faintest aroma of slam in the air. But the ideal is between those two extremes. This week, let’s study some of the factors for accurate slam bidding.

First, when two balanced hands face each other, combined point-count is a surprisingly reliable indica-tor. Some years ago, I ran a computer analysis. I gave the partnership’s hands no five-card suit and no 4-4 fit. I found that when the total point-count was 33, six no-trump was a favorite; but when it was only 32, that slam was an underdog.

Here is an easy example for the bidding, but not so simple in the play. How can South make six no-trump af-ter West leads the club 10?

South’s two-no-trump re-bid shows a balanced hand with 18, 19 or a poor 20 points. It is in principle forc-ing to game and does not deny four spades. South cannot risk a nonforcing

one-spade rebid with that strong a hand.

South has 11 top tricks: three spades, four hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. The clubs might split 3-3, but that is unlikely both mathematically and given the opening lead. However, the contract is assured if declarer takes trick one, un-blocks dummy’s diamond ace-king, returns to his hand with, say, a spade, and leads the diamond jack to drive out the queen. The diamond 10 is trick 12.

Northwest to name CIE after former president

The Back PageBy TONY BROWNNews Editor

Dean L. Hubbard, North-west Missouri State Uni-versity’s longest-serving president, will be honored this spring when the Center for Innovation & Entrepre-neurship — a showcase aca-demic center and business incubator — is renamed is his honor.

Hubbard was instrumen-tal in the creation of the $23 million center, which he en-visioned as both a training ground for biotech scientists and engineers and a prov-ing ground for technology-based corporate startups.

The 47,000 square-foot center contains three lab analysis research areas, a shared scientific instru-

ment room, 9,000 square feet of tenant office space and 16,000 square feet of specialized teaching and re-search labs and offices.

The university’s Board of Regents voted unanimously Friday to rename the CIE the Dean L. Hubbard Center for Innovation and Entre-preneurship, a tribute that board Chairman Mark Har-

gens said was both fitting and “overdue” given Hub-bard’s 25 years of service to Northwest.

University President John Jasinski, Hubbard’s succes-sor, also said it was “past time” for Northwest to be-stow a major honor on the chief executive who served the 108-year-old institute for nearly a quarter of its

existence.Jasinski called Hubbard’s

role in establishing the CIE “critical,” adding that the facility “would not be here without Dr. Hubbard’s sup-port.”

Hubbard said last week that his vision for the center was to “extend Northwest’s history as a major force for economic development in the region while at the same time ensuring that our sci-ences had access to the lat-est nano-technology.”

He also paid tribute to Mel Booth a Northwest alumnus and businessman who was instrumental in se-curing the initial financing and lobbying for the project with then-Gov. Matt Blunt.

“I’m proud to have my name on the facility,” Hub-bard said.

The decision to name the campus’ most technologi-cally advanced building af-ter Hubbard represents a sea change on the Board of Regents, several former members of which openly clashed with Hubbard dur-ing his final months as presi-dent.

In 2009, the Northwest Student Senate asked the governing board to name the historic Administration Building after Hubbard, a proposal that was shot down during one of a series of emotionally charged meet-

ings during which a major-ity clique of regents dis-played growing displeasure with the outgoing president and his policies.

After the regents rejected the Student Senate proposal, the senators overwhelm-ingly passed a vote of no-confidence in the board and called for the resignation of then-chairman Bill Loch.

Most of Hubbard’s long tenure as Northwest’s ninth president was considerably calmer, though he himself survived a faculty no-con-fidence early in his presi-dency. But the controversy passed, and over more than two decades Hubbard’s name became synonymous with sure, stable leadership.

Hubbard arrived at North-west after serving as an international consultant in Asia and a college admin-istrator in California and Nebraska. He began his ca-reer after earning a Ph.D. from Stanford University, a degree in Korean language from Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, and bach-elor’s and master’s degrees from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich.

Under Hubbard’s lead-ership, Northwest gained national recognition for its “Culture of Quality,” an ini-tiative designed tofoster continuous improv-
