TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM

Searching for the right solutionWorkers prepare to apply stucco to a damaged wall painting on the southwest corner of the courthouse square in Maryville. The mural was damaged during a 2010 windstorm and has proved to be an eyesore and a headache for both City Hall and the building’s owner ever since.

Damaged mural faces uncertaintyBy TONY BROWNNews Editor

The fate of a large mural depicting the Maryville square as it appeared decades ago and featuring the like-nesses of famous former Nodaway County residents remains undecided after workers repaired damage to the artwork this week caused by a July 2010 windstorm.

The storm ripped off a large sec-tion near the top of the painting and left large cracks across the face of the image, which was rendered on stucco and bolted to the side of a century-old brick storefront about a decade ago.

Located at 104 E. Third St., the building is owned by local busi-nessman Kam Fai Wong, who said Thursday he is working with the city to address maintenance concerns in-volving the roof and west exterior wall where the mural is attached.

The damaged painting has been

a problem for City Hall ever since the storm, creating an eyesore on the edge of a downtown that received a major face lift a couple of years ago with the completion of a $3 million streetscape project.

Fearing additional chunks of the mural would fall to the ground, en-dangering passersby, the city cor-doned off the area, including a small, unkempt vacant lot owned by absen-tee landowners Robert and Eugenia Nagel.

City officials said this week their hands are tied with regard to getting the lot cleaned up and the mural re-stored since both are private prop-erty.

City Manager Greg McDanel said Thursday there have been legal wrangles between the city and the Nagles with regard to the lot, once the site of an old bank building long since torn down.

As for the mural, it was the brain child of the Maryville Citizens for

Community Action, an ad hoc group that no longer exists.

Created by Chillicothe artist Kelly Poling in the early 2000s, the mural was subject to a contract with the building’s former owner — Wong acquired the property later — that allowed the city to maintain the art-work. However, McDanel said the arrangement has expired.

Wong said the repairs, which con-sisted of plastering over the broken portion of the painting, are tempo-rary, and that a permanent fix will have to wait until he figures out who, if anybody, is responsible for Pol-ing’s work.

City Code Enforcement Officer James Wiederholt said Thursday another problem is the west side of Wong’s building, the one behind the painting, which was originally con-structed as an interior wall.

Over the years, Wiederholt said, the brick surface has taken a beat-

Tax deadline set for closed CMC facilityBy TONY BROWNNews Editor

A company seeking to purchase the former Carbolytic Materials Company plant east of Maryville has signed an agreement with the Nodaway County Commission to dis-charge a $274,000 personal property tax debt by the end of December.

County Collector-Treasurer Marilyn Jenkins confirmed Thursday the deal was in place, adding that failure to pay off the back taxes before the deadline will result in her office filing a lawsuit against the corporation, which she declined to name.

Jenkins said she has been working with Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice to prepare the way for immediate legal action if the money isn’t forthcoming.

Carbolytic Materials Company, usually referred to as CMC, came to Maryville with much fanfare in 2008. The St. Louis-based startup, founded by a group of St. Louis busi-nessmen, created a wave of excitement locally just as Nod-away County was beginning to reel under the first blows of the Great Recession.

CMC’s chief executive Ray Riek, a former chemical en-gineer for Monsanto, touted the company’s “proprietary technology,” which was designed to recover oil, gas and the plastics manufacturing agent carbon black from shredded automotive tires.

Former Northwest Missouri State University President Dean Hubbard sensed opportunity and convinced Riek to move CMC’s research and development arm into the still-unfinished Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, a campus-based business incubator.

At the time, the deal seemed like a major coup for North-west, especially after an earlier agreement with Ventria Bioscience fell through, leaving the university with a multi-million-dollar facility and no major tenants.

During a series of ribbon cuttings, document signings and suit-and-tie receptions, Hubbard and other local leaders and elected officials described the coming of CMC as the dawn of a new economic day for the Maryville area, predicting the creation of scores of good paying jobs by an operation that would improve the environment by ridding dumps of millions of tons of discarded rubber.

The dream faded quickly.Soon, local merchants and suppliers were complaining

that CMC didn’t pay its bills. Then, a couple of years ago, county officials disclosed that the company had failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes.

In addition, a series of fires and a large oil spill had both local firefighters and the Missouri Department of Natural

‘Before placing $43,000 against its tax debt on account with the county, CMC owed Maryville R-II Schools alone more than $200,000.’

Manor, Ministry Center team to benefit familiesBy KEVIN BIRDSELLStaff Writer

Bristol Manor is one of the smaller nursing homes in Maryville. Still, though the home has only ten resi-dents, the folks who live and work there are striving to help out local families in a big way.

Bristol Manor manager Linda Aus-tin has paired with the Ministry Center in Maryville to donate food to families in need this holiday season.

The home is collecting non-perish-

able food items throughout the holiday season and will donate all gifts to the Ministry Center.

Each person who donates a food item can put their names on a orna-ment to be hung on the Bristol Manor Christmas tree.

The nursing home tries to put a little different spin on the holidays each year. In 2012, it collected school sup-plies and raised money for breast can-cer awareness.

Food donations will be accepted through Jan. 4.

The Nodaway County Commission recently re-leased minutes from its Dec. 13 meeting.

In attendance were Pre-siding Commissioner Rob-ert Schieber, North District Commissioner Bob West-fall, South District Com-missioner Bob Stiens and County Clerk Beth Walker.

Agenda items included a public hearing on a Nod-

The Maryville Daily Forum will not publish letters addressed to third parties. The Forum reserves the right to edit correspondence for clarity and length, as well as content and accuracy.


Hurray for the new ForumHave you noticed anything about

the paper this last week? Shocked by the color? Surprised by the coverage of sports by local writ-ers? The look of the pa-per is more modern, more up to date. In short, the Maryville Daily Forum has been transformed.

The use of a variety of headline type and fonts give a visual variety and welcoming style. Not to mention that there is more news, more pictures and more local interest material.

Phil Cobb and Chaun-dee Cobb bought the paper when the owner of recent years faced bankruptcy procedures and decided to accept their offer to buy. Now the Cobb Publishing company guides the paper’s future. These are the local folks who recently brought The Post to Maryville with its expanded adver-tising opportunities.

The previous owners wanted out swiftly, so the Cobbs and a group of talented collaborators had to organize a team and a strategy of producing a new paper in a short period of time. They are still experimenting, but the immediate results is a hundred times better than the Forum had become in the last six months — even in recent years.

They convinced a veteran newspa-per man and an entrenched member of the Northwest Missouri community, Jim Fall, to join them as the Executive Editor. This assures a solid approach to news gathering and editorial con-tent. He has insisted that a community

newspaper must reflect the communi-ty by commenting upon events of the day. Thus, for the first time in years

you will be reading editorial comments from the paper it-self.

A local paper in an area that is sports-happy ab-solutely needs a sports reporter. It has been simply unacceptable for the last six months for the Forum to have been without a sports reporter/edi-tor. This has been a serious miscar-riage of justice to

local high school sports teams. These young men and women have given time and energy in highly success-ful seasons in several sports without recognition of each game or effort. So welcome Jason Lawrence and his al-ready energetic coverage.

It is not only sports that need recog-nition and reporting, of course. Doz-ens of other activities and successes by our young people need to be brought to the attention of the community. This holds for organizations and in-dividuals that need a daily newspaper to bring their activities and projects to the fore. Kevin Birdsell and Steve Hartman will do this for us.

Others will work hard to make the paper a success, none more so, I sus-pect, than Gary Darling who has al-most single handedly kept the paper together in the weeks when there were no reporters, no sports, no direction.

A newspaper is a media of record,

particularly for local communities like ours. It needs to chronicle the important events and activities of the community not only for the day’s in-formation but for historic notation. And by community I mean the entire area.

Personally, I am happy to see Tony Brown return to the Forum. He was the lone reporter in the dying days of the previous Forum ownership. He writes well and knows the community as well as anyone.

I have not written on this subject at the request of the new regime. I just want to celebrate the creation of a renewed Maryville Daily Forum for which I have written this weekly col-umn for thirty years. It is a joy to see the newspaper in the hands of local people dedicated to the local area and to good journalism.

I hope each reader enjoys the re-vived paper. If so, tell your friends and neighbors that it is safe, again, to subscribe and become a regular reader of the Forum. Local newspapers can only survive if they can substantiate a significant readership.

The Maryville Daily Forum must survive because we citizens deserve the local news and local perspective that it brings. And the local mer-chants and businesses need a daily (in this case five days a week) outlet that informs their potential custom-ers of their contemporary goods and services.

A Christmas stocking is big enough for a themed gift but small enough to make filling it quick, easy and fun. Everyone loves the gift of delicious food and your neighbor-hood Hy-Vee has the perfect items for stuffing stockings. Help Santa out this year by taking your Hy-Vee dietitian’s suggestions and stuff their stockings with good taste and good health:

Breakfast in a Stocking: Holiday excitement can disrupt

little ones’ meal schedules. When the excitement of long-awaited gifts is more interesting than com-ing to the table for a meal, why not stuff breakfast into their stockings?

Stop by your Hy-Vee HealthMar-ket and find the following: Horizon shelf-stable organic milk box, Erin Baker’s breakfast cookie or KIND nut and fruit bar, Just Fruit Munch-ies single-serve packs and fresh

fruit, such as a Honeycrisp apple or an easy-to-peel clementine. Don’t forget a new toothbrush & tooth-paste tied together with a bow.

Treat Your Teacher:Go to the head of the class with a

stocking stuffed with unique items any teacher is sure to love, such as Stash brand teas paired with Madhava flavored agave nectar for sweetness, Burt’s Bees lotion and lip balm, Zum’s popular Frank-incense and Myrrh-scented soap wrapped in a cellophane gift bag and, of course, a fresh apple.

Love Your Neighbor:Simply tie together a package of

beautiful gourmet pasta, Hy-Vee Select classic olive oil and a jar of World Classics Tomato Basil pasta sauce as a way to remember your neighbor at the holiday season. Add an invitation to bring the items over to your house for dinner in the New

Year - and this simple, thoughtful gift encourages both good health and friendship.

For the Gourmet Foodie: A quality cheese slicer from your

Hy-Vee delicatessen & gourmet cheese department allows you to slice perfectly thin slices of cheese for maximum flavor and extends the number of servings you can slice from a wedge of cheese. Pair with your choice of wine, a pack-age of walnuts in their shells, a nutcracker and fresh fruit such as Holiday seedless grapes and fresh apples along with the following recipe on a card:

A VIEW FROM THE COUNTRY

Christmas turned me into a kung fu jerk

Christmas brings out the worst in humanity. I mean, if Christmas will turn a nine-year-old kid into a miscreant (“criminal sociopath” seems much too harsh a term for a fourth grader), what do you think the holiday does to someone really disturbed, like a serial killer, or a con-gressman?

My Christmas struggles began in 1974.

“Hey, Trent,” I said as we walked to the dugout for Little League batting prac-

tice (we needed it). “I’m getting G.I. Joe with Kung Fu Grip for Christmas.”

Nine is a tough age. It’s just young enough you still want toys as presents, but just old enough you don’t act like you want them.

“It’s June,” Trent said.I nodded. “Yeah, so?”I didn’t actually know a G.I. Joe with Kung Fu Grip

would be in my future, but I really wanted it to be. The ads during cartoons wouldn’t let me think otherwise.

That year was a perfect storm of Kung Fu. The David Carradine martial arts Western TV show “Kung Fu” was in its second full season, one of the most popular songs was Carl Douglas’ “Kung Fu Fighting,” and the Kung Fu superhero cartoon “Hong Kong Phooey” (voiced by the legendary Scatman Crothers), was on ABC every Satur-day morning.

Then Hasbro came out with G.I. Joe with Kung Fu Grip. G.I. Joe’s hard plastic hands had always been awkward.

Pinched in a way no human hands would ever form, Joe’s hands were designed to hold a knife, pistol, rifle, canteen, binoculars, and quite possibly a bottle of Jack Daniels. This was the 1970s. But Kung Fu Grip Joe’s hands were rubber and could bend to grab the aforementioned gun, or whiskey, in one hand, while cradling a newborn with the other.

Like every nine-year-old boy in America, I not only wouldn’t shut up about the new G.I. Joe, I couldn’t shut up about it.

Then one afternoon, after five and a half months of con-stant parental torture, I found a Christmas package with the label “Jason” tucked under Mom and Dad’s bed. It sat atop an identical package labeled “Greg.”

I pulled mine out and carefully unwrapped the red rein-deer Christmas paper.

You know how it feels during your first kiss? Or the first time you held someone you loved? Well, it wasn’t like that at all because I was nine and this was only a toy. But I’m surprised I didn’t pee, just a little.

I played with my G.I Joe with Kung Fu Grip every day I could sneak him out, battling Germans if I were in a WWII mood, or Soviets if I felt end-of-the-worldish. Then his hand broke, the rubber finger nubs dangling free like something from a horror movie.

I panicked. What’s a guy supposed to do with a broken Christmas present he wasn’t supposed to know about? What sort of horrors might follow me for Christmas’s to come? What … oh, yeah.

I switched my broken G.I. Joe with Greg’s brand new one. On Christmas morning I opened my fresh G.I. Joe and acted like I’d just won the Iris lottery. I don’t know what Greg did. He opened his at his home in Colorado. I still don’t feel badly about it.

See what I mean about Christmas? It brings out the worst in us.

The music has started…again

It must be getting close to Christmas. It has started once again. The sounds of Christ-

mas music can be heard over the speakers in de-partment stores, all of the radio stations that usu-ally play good music and if you choose to go to church, “carols sung by a choir.”

Almost every advertisement alludes to find-ing the perfect present as we hear from talking snowmen, reindeer, polar bears, elves, grandma, car dealers and sometimes that jolly old Santa himself. A nighttime drive through the neigh-borhood is more entertaining as our attention is drawn to lighted Christmas characters in the front yard, on roof tops and decorated trees framed by picture windows. Some electric and inflated reminders of the season are simple and some took the skill of a doctorate in electrical engineering. Even the weather seems to help out. The chill of the wind carrying specks of fro-zen crystals across our yard and street remind us that the time is near for celebrating Christmas.

And, I know that Christmas is quickly ap-proaching because of the flurry of e-mails and Facebook rants that remind me that there is a war being waged against Christmas. I received one recent notification that included an image of hand-grenades beneath the decorated tree, with the caption that I was at war with those who ap-parently were trying to destroy “my Christmas.” I guess I was being recruited into the army of Christmas, standing guard against the enemy which would destroy all that I cherish about the holiday and its true meaning.

I am told signs that the war against Christmas is raging are all around me. If I just look at the people who use Xmas in their written greetings, I will see that some are trying to remove “Christ” from Christmas. But, if memory serves me, “X” has been an abbreviated symbol for Jesus as the Christ, the first ancient letter for the title, since before there was a holiday celebrated. In our na-tion’s capital, we have what many refer officially to as a “holiday tree” instead of a Christmas tree. During this time of year, I recall that several be-lief systems about God’s presence in the world, celebrate together – so while I have no hesitancy calling the decorated spruce a Christmas tree, others in this complex culture we call America, might call it something else. Their choice does nothing to force me to change mine. And, I need no public or government protection to make my Christmas, Christmas.

Christmas began as a love gift, born in the heart of God. Beginning in the heart, that love was expressed in the birth of a child in a distant land many generations ago. That love gift con-tinues to be shared through that life and the lives of all who let that same love live in their hearts. When I remember and celebrate the gift, the only real expression comes not because of what is happening around me, but what has happened within me. Because Xmas is within me, I will say Merry Christmas to all I meet. Because that same reality lives within me, more than one day a year, I may even say Happy Holidays. There is no war on Christmas – that war was won in a stable in Bethlehem and love’s victory was an-nounced with a baby’s cry.

STATE BRIEFS

Evangel cutting staff

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Officials at Evangel Uni-versity say the college in Springfield will eliminate 12 staff positions, beginning Jan. 3

Carol Taylor, Evangel’s president-elect and CEO, an-nounced Thursday that seven currently vacant staff posi-tions won’t be filled and six faculty contracts will not be renewed in the fall. Some current jobs will be consolidated.

The school said in a news release that the moves come as the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, Central Bible College and Evangel merge.

The university says it has reduced its budget by just over $1 million, a 2.7 percent reduction from last year.

Evangel is a Christian university with a seminary in Springfield. The university has more than 2,500 students from 48 states and abroad.

Lawmakers feud with Nixon

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers responsible for the budget have an agreement on a revenue estimate for next year’s budget but say Gov. Jay Nixon did not sign off on it.

Legislative budget leaders and the governor typically reach a revenue estimate that is the foundation for the bud-get. Agreeing how much money is available lets officials focus on how to spend that money.

On Thursday, House Budget Committee Chairman Rick Stream and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Kurt Schaefer said they will use an estimate of 4.2 percent growth in revenues. The lawmakers say Nixon’s office sought an estimate they do not think can be supported.

Nixon says he will propose a “fiscally responsible bud-get.” He says the economy is gaining steam and officials have an opportunity to invest in students and schools.

ing from exposure to water and rough weather and may need significant re-pairs.

Saving the wall could mean that the mural will have to be destroyed, but neither Wong nor Wiederholt know yet if that is the case. Wong said he made the temporary repairs in order to buy time while both he and City Hall decide on a permanent solution.

The Polling mural is one of four commissioned by Maryville Citizens for Community Action, which spent several years raising money through private donations.

The other artworks are scattered along Main Street between Halsey and the square. Polling also painted the southernmost mural, located at Pa-

gliai’s Pizza, 611 S. Main St., which commemorates the 2004 Northwest Missouri State University centennial.

The other two paintings were creat-ed by Maryville art teacher and coach Brian Lohafer and Bob Walkenhorst, a Kansas City-based artist and musi-cian who graduated from Northwest in the 1970s.

Lohafer’s mural depicts various athletics logos used over the years by the Maryville High School Spoof-hounds and Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats. The painting by Walkenhorst, completed in 2009, shows the Forsyth House, an ornate late-19th century residence that stood at the current location of the Citizens Bank & Trust building.

The damaged Poling mural depicts five people from Maryville who ei-ther achieved national prominence or who figure quite significantly in local

history. They include screenwriter and nov-

elist Homer Croy; opera impresario Sarah Caldwell; self-improvement guru Dale Carnegie; Mary Graham, for whom the town was named after its founding in the 1840s; and a wom-an known as “Aunt” Betsy Robinson, who had a fondness for unusual pets.

Poling said after his painting was damaged that the wall behind it was prepped by workers who drilled mor-tices into the brick and filled them with wooden tenons designed to sup-port a metal grid.

The grid was then overlaid with stucco and coated with primer to cre-ate the surface on which the artist worked.

Polling was paid around $8,000 for the painting, a commission that did not include the cost of wall prepara-tion.

Resources looking askance at the fa-cility and asking pointed questions about the plant’s safety procedures and environmental integrity.

According to County Assessor Rex Wallace, the delinquent taxes are the result of a misunderstanding over a tax abatement package hammered to-gether by Nodaway County Econom-ic Development and awarded to CMC when it first came to town.

Company executives, Wallace said, assumed the abatement covered all property taxes, when, in fact, it was only intended to forgive around 15 cents per $100 of assessed valuation

that is the only tax Nodaway County proper collects.

The real bill was closer to $7 per $100 of assessed valuation and in-cluded levies that provide revenue for Maryville R-II Schools, the County Health Center, the Nodaway County Senior Center, Polk Township and other public and non-profit entities. Those taxes were never abated, Jen-kins said.

At one time, before placing $43,000 against its tax debt on ac-count with the county, CMC owed Maryville R-II Schools alone more than $200,000.

In addition to failing to pay taxes, CMC also left Maryville Public Safe-ty’s fire division holding the bag fol-lowing a large fire outside the plant

in February 2012 that damaged more than $15,000 worth of turnout gear, including specially fitted coats, pants, boots and gloves.

Maryville fire Captain Phil Ricka-baugh said the gear was impregnated with waste oil as firefighters from both Maryville and Polk Township struggled to bring the flames under control.

The fire was the fourth in a series of incidents at CMC over a period of about 18 months. The string of mis-haps included two fires inside the plant and a large oil spill in late Feb-ruary, 2011. The spill filled nearby drainage ditches with approximately 6,000 gallons of oil, some of which flowed into One Hundred and Two River.

TONY BROWN/DAILY FORUM

In arrearsThe prospective corporate owners of the vacant Carbolytic Materials Company plant, pic-tured above, have entered into a written agreement with the Nodaway County Commission to pay more than a quarter-million dollars in back personal property taxes by the end of December.

SUSAN MONTOYA BRYANAssociated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico’s top prosecutor filed a lawsuit Thursday in state district court in an attempt to block a planned horse slaughter plant from opening in less than two weeks.

The move by Attorney General Gary King comes after a federal appeals court rolled back a court order that had kept Valley Meat Co. from starting operations earlier this fall. Owner Rick De Los Santos has been making plans to open Jan. 1, and his attorney said Thursday that those plans haven’t changed.

Attorney Blair Dunn called King’s lawsuit frivolous and a waste of taxpayer money. Under state law, he said if a judge issues a restraining order or preliminary injunction, a security bond would have to be posted by the state while the legal challenge winds its way through the court. That could cost New Mexico as much as $435,000 a month, he said.

“As a New Mexican, as a taxpayer, I’m beyond of-fended and I think it’s almost criminal what they’re doing. They’re wasting everybody’s money,” Dunn said.

King defended the lawsuit, saying Valley Meat stands to violate state laws related to food safety, water quality and unfair business practices.

“I believe that the operation of this plant in New Mexico is antithetical to the way we do business in New Mexico,” King said. “We don’t eat horses in New Mexico, and we think this is an inappropriate use of this plant.”

King’s office also disputed claims that it would have to pay any kind of bond because the lawsuit involves alleged violations of the state’s Unfair Practices Act.

Valley Meat and proposed plants in Missouri and Iowa have been the targets of animal protection groups trying to

block the slaughtering of horses.Valley Meat began leading the effort to resume domes-

tic horse slaughter two years ago after Congress lifted its ban on the practice. In August, as plants in the three states were preparing to open, The Humane Society of the Unit-ed States and other animal protection groups sued to con-test the Department of Agriculture’s permitting process.

A federal judge in Albuquerque issued a temporary re-straining order, prompting the Iowa company to convert its operations to beef. U.S. District Judge Christine Armi-jo threw out the lawsuit in November, allowing all three companies to proceed.

The animal protection groups appealed to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which issued an emergency mo-tion that again blocked the plants from opening. The ap-pellate court lifted that order last week, saying the groups “failed to meet their burden for an injunction pending ap-peal.”

Animal Protection of New Mexico and Front Range Equine Rescue were among the groups throwing their sup-port behind King’s lawsuit on Thursday.

According to the lawsuit, Valley Meat has a history of violating state and federal environmental and safety laws while operating as a beef slaughterhouse. The state says Valley Meat’s failure to monitor and test water samples as part of its past discharge permits dates back decades. The company is also accused of disposing of carcasses il-legally.

Dunn challenged the state’s claims and accused King, a Democrat who is running for governor, of politicizing the case.

While it could be weeks before the state district court rules on King’s request, Dunn said Valley Meat will con-tinue to prepare for operations to begin. The company says it has multiple international contracts lined up.

A pair of storms in August 2011 destroyed the city of Maryville water/sewer maintenance building north of town.

It’s taken a while, but exterior con-struction of a new maintenance barn is essentially complete, and the fa-cility should be fully operational by spring.

“We actually had some damage two weeks before (the 2011 storms) when a windstorm came through,” Water and Sewer Maintenance Superinten-dent Eric Lance said. “But then when the next one hit it leveled the middle part of the building.”

The city council approved a con-tract with Smith Contracting Co. of Maryville for 314,900 to build a structure featuring multiple over-head doors. That contract was later amended due to a mix-up on the type of heating system called for in the initial plans. Getting the right system installed raised to cost to $319,326, most of which was covered by insur-ance.

“I really wanted the heat in the floor,” Lance said. “I believe the ben-efit of it will be a lot nicer to have. You’re always heating the concrete and once that cools down it’s hard to get it warmed back up.”

The floor will be heated in three

separate sections. The middle section will be used mainly as a washing sta-tion for equipment while the outside sections will be used for storage.

Keeping the building heated at about 60 degrees should enhance the efficiency of maintenance crews dur-ing cold weather.

When vehicles and other heavy equipment are left out in the cold, it takes time to start the engines and

operate the machines at the optimum speed. Heated garage bays mean the equipment will be ready for use at a moment’s notice.

“This (new building) is definitely going to give us a lot better function through our work process, cleaning our equipment and keeping it all in-side,” Lance said. “It’s definitely nice and will help us maintain our equip-ment better.”

Soil & Water chair to lead ag department

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Gov. Jay Nixon has chosen a fourth-generation northwest Missouri farmer to head the state Department of Agriculture.

Nixon announced the appointment of Richard Fordyce, effective immedi-ately, at a news conference Thursday in Rushville.

Fordyce grows soybeans and corn and raises beef cattle near Bethany. He has been chairman of Missouri’s Soil and Water Districts Commission since 2008 and is a former president of the Harrison County Farm Bu-reau.

Fordyce will succeed for-mer Agriculture Director Jon Hagler, whom Nixon abruptly replaced in Oc-tober. Hagler’s departure came a day after an agency employee distributed a let-ter saying she was resigning because of what she called a hostile work environment.

Hagler has said the timing was coincidental and denied leading the agency with hos-tility or intimidation

“Richard Fordyce has held leadership roles in ag-riculture on the local, state and national level for more than 20 years,” Nixon said.

“His experience and un-derstanding of rural Mis-souri have earned him the respect of his fellow farm-ers, and I am pleased to ap-point him to lead the state agency that works hand in hand with the Show-Me State’s agricultural commu-nity.”

Since Hagler’s departure the department has been led by acting Director Harry Bozoian, who will remain on Fordyce’s staff as deputy director.

Fordyce received the 2012 Soil Conservationist of the Year award from the Conservation Federation of Missouri and has held leadership positions with the Harrison County Farm Bureau, including a term as president from 1993-2010.

His other professional affiliations include the Na-tional Biodiesel Board, the Missouri Soybean Mer-chandising Council, Agri-cultural Leaders of Tomor-row, University of Missouri Extension, Northwest Mis-souri State Fair, Soybean Board and Future Farmers of America.

Fordyce has also served

as a member of the South Harrison R-II School Board, on the Green Hills Regional Planning Commission, the Sherman Township board of trustees, and on the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri.

He has also served on ad-visory groups set by by U.S. Rep. Sam Graves and for-mer U.S. senators Kit Bond and Jim Talent.

The director of the state Department of Agriculture determines department pol-icy and serves as a liaison to state legislators and the greater agriculture commu-nity.

In addition to the divi-sions of Business Develop-ment, Animal Health, Grain Inspection and Warehous-ing, Plant Industries, and Weights and Measures, the department includes the Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Develop-ment Authority, the Mis-souri State Fair Board, the State Milk Board and the Missouri Wine and Grape Board.

“Agriculture remains the backbone of Missouri’s economy, and we commend Gov. Nixon for appointing someone of the caliber of Richard Fordyce as the Di-rector of Agriculture,” said Missouri Farm Board Presi-dent Blake Hurst.

“Richard is first and fore-most a farmer who under-stands the issues facing our industry every day. He has strong ties to Missouri’s agricultural community and has proven his leadership skills in several agriculture organizations. “We look for-ward to working with him on the opportunities and challenges facing Missouri farmers and ranchers.”

City building nears completion

Northwest scientist publishes in top journal

Research by Northwest Missouri State University physicist Himadri Chakraborty recently appeared in Physical Review Letters, a top-ranked international journal for con-temporary sciences.

The title of Chakraborty’s paper is “Time Delay in the Recoiling Va-lence Photoemission of Ar Endohe-drally Confined in C60.” He co-au-thored the article with two research

collaborators in Germany, Gopal Dixit and Mohamed El-Amine Madjet.

The article describes a theoreti-cal discovery which found that ul-trashort flashes of light with just the right energy can shine on an atom confined in a fullerene nanometric cage and knock electrons out of var-ious quantum levels.

A fullerene is a form of carbon

having a large spheroid-shaped mol-ecule consisting of a hollow cage of atoms. Nanometric refers to objects on the scale of a billionth of a meter.

“This is a real cutting-edge re-search result and sets a brand new direction for our program,” Chakraborty said.

Nanoscience is the study and use of materials at the super-molecular level, and nanoscale science appli-cations are being developed in such fields as energy production, photog-raphy, optoelectronics, information

storage, and medicine. Northwest offers an interdisci-

plinary nanoscience program that includes laboratory experience at the Center for Innovation and Entre-preneurship on the Maryville cam-pus.

The discovery occurred as part of Chakraborty’s ongoing federally-funded research program related to the spectroscopy of nanoparticles, particularly the soccer-ball-like fullerenes and their various deriva-tives.

Thrilling NWMO tournament comes to close this weekend

By STEVE HARTMANStaff Writer

Nodaway County’s basketball spotlight has been focused on Northeast Nodaway high school this week, as it’s hosted the 2013 edition of the Northwest Missouri High School Basketball Tournament.

There are six teams entered in the tourna-ment, so both the girls and boys teams have been divided into three-team pools based on overall seeding, and round-robin action in each pool took place Monday-Wednesday.

Monday night’s four-game slate kicked off with a girls contest between No. 5 seed Craig-Fairfax and top-seeded Nodaway Holt, and the Lady Trojans jumped out to a quick 12-2 first-quarter lead and never looked back, downing the Lady Bulldogs 60-26.

Nodaway-Holt’s full-court pressure made it difficult for the Lady Bulldogs to get any-thing going offensively and led to several easy buckets for the top-seeded Lady Tro-jans.

Senior three-time all-state guard Megan Rosenbohm paced the Lady Trojans all eve-ning long with her scoring, rebounding and playmaking on the way to a 28-point, 10-re-bound, five-assist game. Jaylee Holmes added 14 points and six rebounds to the balanced Nodaway-Holt offensive attack, which featured eight different girls in the

scoring column. Game two featured the top-seeded Nod-

away-Holt boys playing No. 4 seed, Craig-Fairfax. The Trojans used their superior size inside, featuring the scoring of Jackson Be-attie, to jump out to a 24-16 halftime lead.

The third quarter then proved to be deci-sive, as the Trojans turned up the defensive pressure and continued their dominance on the boards to extend their lead to 38-22 en route to a 59-45 victory.

Beattie led the Trojan offensive attack with 20 points, with teammate Brice Sham-berger pitching in 18 points. Cody Schi-edemeyer paced the rebounding effort for Nodaway-Holt, hauling in eight rebounds.

South Nodaway, seeded second on the girls side, took control quickly of their game with the No. 6 seeded Lady Rockets of West Nodaway with a 21-3 first quarter effort and cruised to a 57-10 victory.

South Nodaway used a strong defen-sive effort, including a devastating full-court press, to put the game away early. Eleven different Lady Longhorns scored, paced by Kristen Nielsen’s 12 points. Ad-ditional South Nodaway scoring came from Meaghan McConkey with nine points, Erin Salsbury and Mallory McConkey with sev-en points each and Allison Hilsabeck with six points. West Nodaway was paced by Melody McGinness’s four points.

By JASON LAWRENCESports Editor

The Maryville girls basketball team came into Thursday night’s contest with a different attitude and an energy level Jefferson just couldn’t match as the Lady ’Hounds prevailed 39-25.

“I think we knew that we had a good shot at winning this game, so we went into it with the right mindset,” Maryville assistant coach Phil Stone said. “It was just a whole-nether level in intensity and energy and that was probably the difference tonight.”

Maryville gave up four quick points, but then settled in defensively, keeping

the Lady Eagles off the scoreboard for a few minutes with their press.

“Their pressure got to us,” Jefferson head coach Tyler Pedersen said. “They did a good job setting the tempo and got us going fast and making deci-sions on the move. Unfortunately, they forced us into some unnecessary turn-overs.

Jessie Henry used her size to her advantage early to help put the Spoof-hounds into the early hole.

“She catches around the basket and she’s got a nice height advantage on some girls,” Pedersen said. “She does a nice job of getting herself strong and finishes a lot of shots for us.”

Jefferson led 10-8 after one, but Maryville came back to take a 19-17 lead at halftime. And the third quarter belonged to the Spoofhounds.

Maryville limited the Lady Eagles to just four third-quarter points while putting up 13 of their own and seeing some shots that hadn’t fallen earlier this season start to drop.

“Once we hit the second half, it just seemed to go our way,” Stone said. The shots were finally falling — the shots that we couldn’t hit against South Har-rison (Tuesday night), we were making them tonight. Once a couple of shots got hit, it just seemed like a different

The Monday evening nightcap provided the only upset of the night, as third-seeded South Nodaway downed No. 2 seed West Nodaway 57-52.

Dalton Murphy paced the Longhorns with a double-double, scoring 16 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Nick Bloom added 10 points for South Nodaway, who held off a furious second-half charge by West Nod-away, after leading 26-14 at half.

The Rockets were led by point guard Trevor Meyer, who scored 18 points, includ-ing 16 in the second half. Jonathon Madere had a double-double for the Rockets with 13 points and 15 rebounds and Jaden Gillenwa-ter added 10 points for West Nodaway.

Tuesday night’s tournament action began with a boy’s game, and it proved to be a very competitive and entertaining game, as fifth-seeded Northeast Nodaway downed fourth-seeded Craig-Fairfax 76-73.

It was a tale of two halves, as the Bluejays used their up-tempo offense to build a 43-31 halftime lead. In the second half, Craig-Fairfax used hot shooting by Brody Coo-per, Grant Hopkins and Keifer Nemyer and Bluejay foul trouble with their post players to get back in the game, which wasn’t de-cided until the final buzzer sounded.

Point guard Shaun Burns scored 28 points for the Bluejays, including 18 in a 29-point Northeast Nodaway second quarter. Post Joel Scroggie, despite foul trouble limiting his minutes, scored 19 points and snared 13 rebounds and Steve Schulte added 18 points for Bluejays.

Game two on Tuesday night produced another nail-biter, as the Lady Mustangs of North Nodaway snuck past the Lady Bull-dogs of Craig-Fairfax 48-46.

North Nodaway, seeded fourth, had to rally from a 27-20 halftime deficit to get by the fifth-seeded Lady Bulldogs. The third quarter proved to be the decisive quarter in the contest, as North Nodaway out-scored Craig-Fairfax 16-8. Sam Frueh led North Nodaway in scoring with 15 points, while Madison Thompson added 13 points and 13 rebounds in the winning effort.

In Tuesday’s third game, the second-seed-ed West Nodaway boys cracked the win col-umn in the tournament with a 58-36 victory over North Nodaway.

The Rockets raced to a 30-12 halftime lead and were never challenged from that point on. Meyer led a group of four Rockets who reached double figures in scoring with 20 points. Gillenwater, Madere and Ryan Evens added 11, 10 and 10 points, respec-tively. North Nodaway was paced by Fred Rios and Tristan Wray with eight points each, while Dakota Smyser added seven.

The Tuesday night finale saw the third-seeded Northeast Nodaway girls double up six seed West Nodaway by a 52-26 margin. The Lady Jays full-court defensive pres-sure caused several Lady Rocket turnovers, which Northeast Nodaway turned into easy baskets.

Nine different Lady Jays broke into the scoring column and they were paced by 16 points from Dallis Coffelt, while fellow post Taryn Farnan added nine points. West Nodaway was paced by a 10-point, seven-rebound effort by Emily Cordell and Alyson Dye added 8 points for the Lady Rockets.

The final night of pool play saw one close game and three games that ended with con-vincing victories.

In the opening contest, the Nodaway-Holt girls used a stifling full-court press and saw eight different girls score en route to a 68-47 victory over North Nodaway. North Nodaway grabbed an early 9-6 lead mid-way through quarter No. 1, but Nodaway-Holt’s defensive pressure allowed the Lady Trojans to take a 28-15 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Rosenbohm again paced the Lady Tro-jan effort with 27 points, five rebounds and eight assists. Teammate Kalli Devers added 14 points and five rebounds to the winning cause, while Macie Bohannon added six points.

Cambry Schluter led North Nodaway with 10 points, while Breann O’Riley added nine and Madison Thompson scored eight points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Lady Mustangs.

In game two of the evening, the South Nodaway boys held off a pesky North Nod-away squad and posted a 43-39 victory. North Nodaway grabbed a 15-10 first quar-ter lead, but trailed 24-23 at half. An 11-3 third quarter in favor of the Longhorns left the Mustangs facing a 35-26 deficit, which proved to be more than the Mustangs could overcome.

Damien Willmore led South Nodaway with 12 points. Murphy, with nine points and 10 rebounds and Nick Bloom, with

eight points and 10 boards, helped the Longhorns secure a spot in Saturday night’s boys championship game. Koby Reynolds, with 13 points and Peyton Coleman, with 10 points and seven rebounds, led the North Nodaway effort.

Game three of the evening featured the most impressive start to a game so far in the tournament, as the South Nodaway girls came out firing on all cylinders and led Northeast Nodaway 20-0 at the end of the first quarter and cruised to a 54-23 victory. South Nodaway’s full-court pressure forced numerous Lady Jay turnovers during the quarter, many of which were converted into easy scores by the Lady Longhorns.

Mallory McConkey scored a game-high 14 points to lead South Nodaway, while Meaghan McConkey pitched in with 10. In all, 10 different Lady Longhorns found the scor-ing column. Northeast Nod-away’s lone bright spot on offense was Holly Redden, who canned three three-pointers in route to a team-high 11 points.

In Wednesday evening’s fourth and final game, Nod-away-Holt boy’s coach Terry Petersen welcomed back Nick Patterson from the in-jury list, and the Trojans gained their berth in Satur-day night’s championship game with a 58-31 win over Northeast Nodaway.

The Trojans ran out to a 19-6 first quarter lead and were never threatened. Beat-tie again paced the Trojans in scoring with 20 points, while Patterson added 11 points in his return to the lineup while Devin Albertson added 10 points and Shamberger add-ed nine.

Schulte paced the Bluejays with 10 points, but the stingy Trojan defense held Burns and Scroggie to a combined 13 points after the pair com-bined for 47 points in the Bluejays’ opening round vic-tory over Craig-Fairfax.

With pool play completed, the trophy rounds on Friday

and Saturday nights shape up this way. On Friday evening, the Craig-Fairfax girls will meet West Nodaway for the girls consola-tion trophy at 5 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., the boys squads from West Nodaway and Northeast Nodaway will meet for third place and at 8 p.m., Nodaway-Holt and South Nodaway will meet in the girls championship game.

On Saturday evening, action gets under-way at 5 p.m. with the boys consolation game, featuring North Nodaway and Craig-Fairfax. At 6:30 p.m., the Lady Mustangs of North Nodaway will face off with the Lady Jays of Northeast Nodaway for third and at 8 p.m., the Trojans of Nodaway-Holt and the Longhorns of South Nodaway will battle it out for the boys championship.

Think on your feet and pick up the pace. Be shrewd and do away with whatever is causing frustration. You will be incredibly precise, allowing you to gain the support needed to advance. Implement your ideas and watch as they flourish.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t give away too much of your time or money to a demanding organization. Additional personal responsibilities may be inevitable. Maintain your priorities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s OK to ask for favors, but make sure to reciprocate. Starting your own business or getting involved in a partnership could lead to success. Now is a great time to turn dreams into reality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You may find that secret conversations are undermining your reputation. Keep your thoughts and plans to yourself for the time being. It’s best to focus only on what you can accomplish.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Tak-ing a creative path will increase your earning potential and lead to a new and exciting enterprise. Follow through on your plans -- now is not the time to go only halfway.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your charisma and energy will draw romantic partners. Be careful not to exaggerate your interest by saying things that you don’t mean. Take the time to be sure of matters before making any announce-ments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Some-

one is likely to meddle in your personal life. If you find that you’re in need of ad-vice, seek out an impartial outsider, but be sure to tell them the full story.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Avoid taking any risks today. Hide your money and avoid the temptation to make im-pulse purchases of household items. Make absolutely sure that any legal matters are handled diligently.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The home front will be extremely active to-day. Make a list and plan your day care-fully in order to avoid setbacks. Make sure to prioritize whatever needs to be done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Problems with authority will crop up at this time. Be as tactful as possible and avoid an-tagonizing easily offended parties. You can be respectful without letting your freedom be infringed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Group dynamics are bound to cause you dis-tress. The only person who can help you at this time is you. Put your energy into making self-improvements if you want to be successful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Avoid procrastinating and gossiping with your peers. Focus on completing your work, and you will be noticed for your hard work and integrity. Advancement is within reach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your partner may be feeling rejected. You must open up the channels of com-munication, or problems will arise. A secret or untoward relationship with a colleague could develop if you’re not careful.

Arne Glimcher, an art dealer, film producer and director, said, “When Rob-ert Benton was doing the movie ‘Still of the Night,’ I’d choreographed the auction

scene and supplied the paintings and had a bit part -- I was bidding against Meryl Streep.”

Except for the occasion-al passout, every bridge deal begins with the bid-ding. It is intended primar-ily to help the side with the balance of power, but each call gives information to the opponents.

In this deal, South opened one spade in the second seat, and North responded three spades, a game-invitational limit raise. Now South should have raised to four spades because it was unlikely that North could cover all of South’s losers. Howev-er, South control-bid four clubs, hoping North had the spade king-queen, dia-mond ace and a singleton heart. North control-bid four diamonds. And South signed off in four spades, telling the world that he did not have a heart con-trol. Then North, since he did not have one either, passed.

Now it was easy for West to lead the heart nine. East

won with his jack, cashed the heart ace and heart king, then led his last heart. Should South have ruffed high or low?

The auction told West what to lead. But it also told South, who almost certain-ly held the spade queen. East passed as dealer, but had already produced 10 high-card points in hearts. If he had held the spade queen too, he surely would have opened the bidding. So South ruffed with his spade ace, ran the spade jack through West, and made his contract.

Jefferson controlled the pace early and withstood a late Maryville run Thursday night to improve to 7-1 on the season with a 44-38 victory.

“We kind of came off a rough game our last game where we didn’t (control the tempo),” Jeffer-son head coach Tim Jermain said. “Defensively, we want to make sure we’re really intense and get what we want with our full-court pressure. I thought our defensive effort was just solid all night long.”

Maryville head coach Mike Ku-witzky agreed and said Jefferson’s defense forced his team into some things it didn’t want to do.

“They’re a good defensive team,” Kuwitzky said. “We were hurrying things. I thought their press bothered us and I thought their half-court defense bothered us — took us out of our offense. We got a little hurried there.”

The Spoofhounds held tough early on and went into the second quarter tied at 11, but couldn’t sus-tain that level as Jefferson started pulling away in the second quarter behind that stingy defense.

The Eagles led 21-15 at halftime and pushed its margin out to 33-23 by the end of the third quarter.

“We got stops on the defensive end and were able to score on the

offensive end — that sounds pret-ty simple, but that’s kind of what

we’re doing.”Then once the scoreboard

flipped to the fourth quarter, the Spoofhounds began their come-

back attempt.“Some people started clicking a

little bit and they started playing better,” Kuwitzky said. Maryville out-scored Jefferson 15-11 in the quarter, but couldn’t climb all the way back out of the hole it had dug itself earlier in the game.

“I thought they just consistently made it hard for us to score,” Ku-witzky said. “When we did get decent shots, they didn’t drop. We missed a lot in the paint tonight.”

Jefferson’s Alex Holtman scored a game-high 12 points and Kyler Farnan added 11. Maryville was led by Mitch Worthington and Trent Nally, who each scored eight points.

Jefferson heads into it winter break and will be off until Jan. 3, 2014 when it returns to the court against Worth County.

“We’ve got to continue to grow,:” Jermain said. “Defensive-ly, we’ve got to stay solid.”

Maryville (3-5) will take four of the next six days off before playing Warrenton High School on Dec. 27 as part of the NCMC Shootout.

“We’ve got some time off — I think a lot of them need some time off,” Kuwitzky said. “We didn’t get a break coming off of foot-ball, so we need some time off .... We’re going to have four days off and two days of practice before we play our next game.”

atmosphere.”Henry scored a game-high 14

points and Kelsi McQuinn added five for Jefferson, but Chelsea Byland scored 12 points to lead Maryville and Mollie Holtman and Josie Patton each scored six.

Maryville (2-5) moves next week into the St. Joseph Bishop LeBlond Tournament and Stone said they have some momentum moving into the first round contest against Falls City on Dec. 27.

“I don’t know if I can stress how

much they really needed that ‘W’ tonight,” Stone said. “Going into the LeBlond Tournament next week, they’re going to feel like they have a shot against Falls City. I think they are going to go into that tournament with a confidence

that they can get all the way to the championship game and I think they’ve got a real shot.”

Jefferson (3-5) is on winter break until Jan. 3, 2014 when they travel to face Worth County.

“The girls are going to have

time off, then we have five prac-tices before Worth County,” Ped-ersen said. “Christmas break is all about tweaking some things, maybe making some minor adjust-ments, but really trying to improve the things you’re doing.”
