City Council offers deal

to Sheriff on dog bill

By Chris Howell

During Monday evening's Sedalia City Council meeting, City Administrator Kelvin Shaw addressed the issue of a bill submitted to the Pettis County Sheriff 's Office for the housing of 14 vicious pit bulls and two chihuahuas. Last week the issue exploded into a heated Facebook interchange between Shaw and Sheriff Brad Anders. After presenting a highly detailed timeline of interactions with the sheriff, to reconcile the matter, Shaw proposed writing off one month of the bill he assessed at $19,200, leaving the final bill to the county at $53,355. The council agreed the offer should be sent to the county as early as Tuesday.

Public Works Committee Chairman Tom Oldham introduced cemetery director Roger Waters for a strategic planning presentation on the Cemetery Department.

"These presentations will all lead up to and set the stage for the Council's strategic planning session on Jan. 8," Oldham said. "We will then have a budget work session February through March culminating with a budget adoption the last weekend in March."

Waters' presentation on cemetery operations outlined the duties and responsibilities of staff such as the maintenance of headstones.

"We're providing the burial services for the citizens of Sedalia, Pettis County and the surrounding areas," Waters said. "It still amazes me how many we have that are coming from out of town back to Sedalia, they grew up here."

Waters noted burial trends and urged the city to consider investing in a crematorium and a more modestly sized new cemetery for urns.

"We've had 110 burials this year," Waters said. "We've sold 60 grave lots, 14 of our niches have been sold this year."

Templeton Rose cuts five-song album

By Faith Bemiss

fbemiss@

Templeton Rose, a local band that sprang to life in March 2020 during the pandemic, has weathered the storm of COVID and will release an album this Friday featuring five original songs.

"Paint Your Pain" will feature "Paint Your Pain," "Templeton's Gig," "Love Dies," "Miss Having Fun" and "I'm Not Scared to Die." Jacob Watson, of Kansas City, created the cover art while Mason Harding plays the guitar and sings, Harrison Needy plays bass, and Samuel Onufreychuk plays keyboard, sings and produces. All three write music and lyrics and all the songs were produced, mixed and mastered by the members of Templeton Rose. Originally from Green Ridge, Harding and Needy now live in Sedalia and Onufreychuk

in Springfield. Onufreychuk said by phone

on Monday the songs are a combination of the band's usual genres of indie, rock and pop. The album will be released on all media platforms and there will be links to it on the Templeton Rose Facebook, Instagram and TikTok platforms.

Onufreychuk said keeping the band going through COVID was challenging and that's why it took a year to complete the album.

"It was an uphill battle, he noted. "We had a lot of instances where we couldn't hang out, and one day turned into a week and a week turned into a month. COVID hit and they had multiple waves of it.

"That's really affected a lot of stuff," he continued. "Life happens and we had to battle some stuff. So, we had to wait for a

little bit." He explained that COVID

changed the way they express themselves with their music.

"The way we make music kind of changed," Onufreychuk noted. "It basically just gave us a different process. We have different ways of expressing ourselves. I sing in a couple of the songs and I just really wanted to let out all my frustration in the rock songs."

He added the band plans to create another music video for the song "Templeton's Gig," just as they did last year with "Sunshine Girl." Taylor Hoos will once again produce the video.

"That one's a little bit more of the abstract indie/rock tract," he explained.

Onufreychuk added he is proud of the album's cover art created by Watson.

STATE BRIEF

Springfield police say man shot by

officers has died

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -- A man shot by Springfield police during a hostage situation has died, police said Monday.

Police Chief Paul Williams said an officer shot Douglas Knakmuhs, 40, of Springfield, on Sunday as he was struggling with the hostage over a weapon.

Williams said before the hostage situation an officer had exchanged gunfire with Knakmuhs at a convenience store. He was known to police and had an outstanding warrant, the Springfield News-Leader reported.

Knakmuhs fled that scene and entered a home, where he took a man hostage, Williams said.

After negotiations failed, officers entered the home and saw Knakmuhs with his gun to the man's head and the two struggling over the weapon. An officer shot Knakmuhs and the hostage escaped injury, Williams said.

Knakmuhs died later at a hospital.

Lewis named recipient of 2021 Adviser Award

WARRENSBURG -- Julie Lewis, assistant instructor of digital media production and faculty adviser for the University of Central Missouri's student-led newspaper, the Muleskinner, is being recognized as one of the College Media Association's 2021 Best Media Advisers in the nation.

Lewis was one of three Honor Roll Advisers recognized from four-year institutions.

Honor Roll Adviser Awards are reserved for professionals who have advised for five or fewer years.

The College Media Association is a collegiate media organization that strives to support student journalists and their advisers.

Since 1954, the association has served its nationwide member base with educational sessions, annual conventions, networking opportunities and more.

"As the managing editor, Julie and I work closely together and my experience with her has been amazing," Bethany Spitzmiller said. "Her passion for journalism and empowering students is so refreshing."

The Muleskinner publishes monthly issues with ongoing online coverage published during regular academic weeks.

"She has students lead

Julie Lewis

everything and make all the decisions and she empowers them to do that, which is amazing," Spitzmiller said.

Lewis, who took over the role of adviser for the publication last year, works with student writers, editors and designers to provide content covering the wider campus community.

"I can attest to Dr. Lewis' efforts to revitalize the college student newspaper, the Muleskinner over the past one-plus years," Wendy Geiger, chair of School of Communication, History and Interdisciplinary Studies, said. "Under her leadership, the paper is now being published digitally at where stories are published daily. In addition, the Muleskinner is published in a paper format one time per month. They were awarded several Missouri College Media

Association awards for reporting, including Best 4-Year Institution Publication in Missouri. There are multiple students involved in the newspaper from across campus. Her accomplishments have been extraordinary, especially given that she was able to accomplish this during the pandemic, which negatively impacted nearly every college in terms of engagement of students. I cannot express how impressed I have been with Dr. Lewis since she took over the Muleskinner Adviser role."

Lewis has a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia, a Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Arts in Communication from UCM and a Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, focusing on Editorial Leadership in Journalism Education at MU.

"Her passion for what she does is second to none and I have been blessed to have her as a mentor and as a teacher," Zayin Barnes, features editor for the Muleskinner, said. "Just the way she leads is impeccable and how she uses her own aura and her own past experience to build up the people that she is trying to help mentor

is really just amazing to witness. I couldn't ask for anyone better to help me do what I do."

Lewis was awarded as the Missouri College Media Association 2020 Adviser of the Year.

Lewis was a recipient of the UCM Advisor of the Year Award in 2020.

Lewis and other Adviser Award recipients were honored during an awards ceremony at the 2021 ACP/CMA Fall National College Media Convention Oct. 14-17.

For more information about the Muleskinner or the College Media Association Honor Roll Adviser Award, contact Lewis at jlewis@ucmo. edu, or visit .

"I am very proud of Dr. Lewis for receiving this award, I feel that it is very well deserved," Matthew Goldsmith, news editor for the Muleskinner said. "The thing that really sticks out to me about Dr. Lewis is how committed she is to her students and just talking to her you can feel a great passion she has for what she does. This award was very well deserved and I know that I personally have grown a lot working together and getting to know Dr. Lewis."

Automakers step up pace on electric vehicle battery plants

By Tom Krisher

AP Auto Writer

DETROIT (AP) -- Global automakers and tech companies are stepping up the pace when it comes to building factories and prepare for what many believe will be a fast-moving transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles.

On Monday, Toyota, Stellantis, Foxconn, Ford and Volvo all made announcements about electric vehicle component or assembly plants, or plans to raise capital to fund the transition. The moves come on top of previous plans from Ford and General Motors to build five U.S. battery factories in anticipation of the shift to electric power.

The moves are ahead of demand at the moment, but forecasters predict that the share of electric vehicles will rise dramatically as more battery-electric models are rolled out as governments increase requirements for zero-emissions vehicles to fight climate change.

At present, only about 4.8% of the roughly 80 million new vehicles sold

globally run solely on electricity, according to LMC Automotive.

But the consulting firm Alix Partners predicts that will rise to 11% in 2025 and 24% in 2030. If plug-in gaselectric hybrids, which can travel short distances solely on electricity, are included, that figure rises to 28% in 10 years.

Simultaneously, Alix Partners predicts that global sales of gas- and dieselpowered vehicles will fall from the current 89% to around 39% by 2030. Gaselectric hybrids, which run on gasoline and electricity at the same time, rise from 7% currently to 33% in 2030.

"All of us are trying to get a fix on how customers will accept electric vehicles," Chris Reynolds, chief administrative officer for Toyota in North America, said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We don't know for sure, but we have to be ready."

602719s

Toyota said it plans to build a new $1.29 billion factory in the U.S. to manufacture batteries for hybrid and fully electric vehicles. The location wasn't announced, but the company said it eventually will employ 1,750 people and start making batteries in 2025, gradually expanding through 2031.

The plant is part of $3.4 billion that Toyota plans to spend in the U.S. on automotive batteries during the next decade. It didn't detail where the remaining $2.1 billion would be spent, but part of that likely will go for another battery factory.

Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, and LG Energy Solution said Monday that they plan to build a battery manufacturing facility to help the automaker get 40% of its U.S. sales from vehicles that run at least partly on electricity by 2030. They didn't say where the plant would be.

Also Monday, the Taiwanese company that makes smartphones for Apple and others, Foxconn Technology Group, said it would produce electric cars and buses for auto brands in China, North America, Europe and other markets.

Volvo Cars on Monday

unveiled more details of its initial public offering that will fund its ambitious plan to transform into an all-electric vehicle company by 2030. The Swedish auto brand, owned by Chinese carmaker Geely, said the IPO would value the company at 163-200 billion kronor ($18.8-$23 billion) when shares start trading Oct. 28.

And Ford Motor Co. announced that it will turn a transmission factory in northwest England into a plant that will make electric power units for cars and trucks sold throughout Europe.

Most of the announcements lacked specifics such as locations, and some didn't say how many jobs would be created.

Jeff Schuster, president of global vehicle forecasting for LMC Automotive, said that's because it's "in vogue" for automakers to make such announcements, which are well-received by investors. But he said the plants will be necessary, especially in the U.S., where battery manufacturing capacity was lagging Europe and China.

CRASH REPORTS

Warsaw man seriously

injured in Benton accident

STATE BRIEF

Board to decide on

new federal grant to

restart Loop Trolley

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Backers of a St. Louis trolley that closed almost two years ago because of financial troubles are hoping that a regional board will soon approve a $1.26 million federal grant to help get the line running again next year.

The St. Louis PostDispatch reports that

trolley supporters say the grant would be used with accrued funds from the trolley's own sales tax district to run the line free of charge from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays through late 2023. Backers say that by then, the trolley could stand on its own financially.

"There's no downside to having this grant approved," asserted Joe Edwards, the Delmar Loop entrepreneur and longtime booster of the

Council

From Page 1A

The council discussed an ordinance for an agreement with Greyhound Bus Lines to use the Amtrak depot for dropping off and picking up passengers, a practice the council noted the bus company had already begun without the City's permission. The ordinance failed unanimously with Second Ward Councilwoman Tina Boggess noting the busses have been seen cutting through her district twice a day. Greyhound service to Sedalia ended in the mid-90s.

Councilman Steve Bloess noted "a correlation between an increase in property crime and aggravated assault in proximity to Greyhound bus stations."

During the Public Works section of the meeting, Oldham led a discussion on a change order to a 2018 water system improvements contract in the amount of $3,935. Oldham then called for an ordinance for Change Order No. 3. The ordinance passed unanimously.

A deduction was authorized on the Streetscape Phase IV project because of costs related to dam-

aged railroad signal wires. This ordinance also passed unanimously.

A bid and agreement for pump maintenance were passed by the council for a $186,200 contract with FTC Equipment to maintain, repair and perform emergency calls on water facilities and wastewater facilities equipment as the City is having a difficult time filling positions to do the work in-house.

In the Finance/Administration portion of the meeting, an ordinance to refinance City's note for the Bothwell Regional Health Center with Central Bank passed unanimously. The payment of the loan will be paid with income from Bothwell.

Finally, citizen group Pettis County First alerted the City Council of its need for an ordinance by the County Commission to limit the proposed landfill. Pettis County Western Commissioner Jim Marcum and Pettis First representative David Gerken both enlightened the council on their inability to prohibit out-of-county refuse from the proposed landfill and the dire need for a workable ordinance.

Gonzaga is No. 1 in preseason AP Top 25;

UCLA, Kansas next

By Aaron Beard

AP Basketball Writer

Gonzaga carried a No. 1 ranking all last season before falling a win short of becoming college basketball's first unbeaten national champion in 45 years.

Mark Few's Bulldogs start this season in the same position, hoping to complete that final step this time around.

The Zags were the runaway top choice in The Associated Press Top 25 men's college basketball preseason poll released Monday. They earned 55 of 63 first-place votes to easily outdistance No. 2 UCLA, which earned the other eight. Kansas, Villanova and Texas rounded out the top five, while reigning national champion Baylor checked in at No. 8.

The Zags have accomplished just about every milestone possible in 23 years under Few other

than cutting down the nets on the final Monday night of the season. They came close to completing the first unbeaten run since 1976 last year with a wireto-wire No. 1 team, only to fall to the Bears in a onesided final in Indianapolis.

Now they'll try again. "It is quite an honor to be selected preseason No. 1 for the second consecutive year," Few said in a statement to the AP. "Our returning players realize the challenge of playing up to that level all year and look forward to it." Gonzaga lost AP AllAmericans Corey Kispert and Jalen Suggs to the NBA, but second-team selection Drew Timme (19.0 points, 7.0 rebounds) and starting guard Andrew Nembhard return. The Zags also bring in a top recruiting class featuring the nation's No. 1 overall recruit in 7-footer Chet Holmgren and a five-star guard in Hunter Sallis.

Cash, Tigers end skid

with Battle victory

By Bryan Everson

bryane@

A Sam Cash hat trick helped Smith-Cotton boys soccer end its longest losing streak since 2013.

On the wrong side of the scoreline in their last four, the Tigers righted the ship with a 4-0 win over Battle at home Monday evening in which they played at a pace that better suits them.

Play wasn't one-sided in the first 10 minutes, but the Tigers did look more threatening, earning two corners and a free kick when Vicente Saldana had his jersey grabbed just outside the box. That edge foreshadowed Cash's first goal when he broke through the back line and finished past Battle goalkeeper Payson Davenport to put S-C on the board at the 28:44 mark of the opening half.

Gauld, Teibert score, Whitecaps beat Sporting KC 2-1

By The Associated Press

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Ryan Gauld and Russell Teibert scored in the first half and the Vancouver Whitecaps beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Sunday night to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Eighth-place Vancouver (10-910) remained a point outside of a Western Conference postseason berth with five games left. Second-

place Sporting (15-7-7) would have clinched a playoff spot with a victory or a tie.

Gauld scored on a hard shot in the 23rd minute, and Teibert made it 2-0 in the 37th with a long left-footer. Brian White assisted on both goals.

Johnny Russell scored for Kansas City in the 43rd to extend his goals streak to six.

Maxime Crepeau made two saves to help Vancouver improve to 6-0-1 at B.C. Place.

from Kansas City's defense, so Mathieu was not happy -- and he made sure his teammates knew it.

"I mean, they love it when I go crazy," Mathieu said with a chuckle after the Chiefs came back to beat Washington 31-13 to boost their record to 3-3. "I don't know why, but they love it."

Easy to laugh when KC eventually did manage to turn things around right when it needed to with by far their best defensive performance of

the season. Consider these numbers:

After halftime, Washington was limited to four first downs and 76 total yards. Also important: The Chiefs, who collected four takeaways in their previous five games combined, got two on Sunday, recovering a fumble in the first half and getting defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton's plucked-the-ball-off-an-offensive-lineman's-shoulder-pad interception in the second.

UCM football falls to Missouri Southern

By Star-Journal Staff

On two opportunities late in the fourth quarter against Missouri Southern, Central Missouri's offense was presented with an opportunity to pull ahead by two possessions.

On both chances, the Mules failed to capitalize. The aspect, plus a 27-yard field goal from Lions kicker Nick Williams with two seconds remaining, led to a 30-28 loss at Fred G. Hughes Stadium in Joplin.

Each of Central Missouri's last two offensive drives began following defensive stops. The first came about through an interception from junior Dylan Price. The second occurred through a fourth-down stop.

The Mules offense gained a combined three first downs following both, but could not find a way to grow its one-point lead.

The Lions outgained Cen-

tral Missouri 554-387, with 320 of its yards coming on the ground.

Missouri Southern's offensive success included two unanswered scores to close the contest.

Mules junior quarterback Logan Twehous finished the contest 20-of-35, throwing for 288 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.

He hit senior Cam Saunders and sophomore Arkell Smith on two scores each.

Central Missouri's rushing attack gained 135 but lost 36, finishing with a net total of 99.

The loss marked the Mules' first to Missouri Southern since 2013.

Central Missouri returns to action on Saturday, Oct. 23, as it hosts Fort Hays State for Homecoming. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Washington State coach Rolovich fired for refusing vaccine

By Nicholas K. Geranios

Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Washington State fired football coach Nick Rolovich and four of his assistants on Monday for refusing a state mandate that all employees get vaccinated against COVID-19, making him the first major college coach to lose his job over vaccination status.

Inslee, a Democrat, had set a deadline of Monday for thousands of state employees, including the Cougars' coach, to be vaccinated. Rolovich applied for a religious exemption, which was denied Monday, Washington State athletic director Pat Chun said.

Defensive coordinator Jake Dickert will be elevated to acting coach and his first game in charge will be Saturday at home against BYU.

"This is a tough day for Washington State football," Chun said at a news conference. "Nobody wants to be here."

Also fired for refusing vaccination were assistant coaches Ricky Logo, John Richardson, Craig Stutzmann and Mark Weber. Chun said there may be no precedent for a team losing its head coach and so many assistants in the middle of a season.

"Our student-athletes are the biggest losers in this," he said.

Rolovich was not immediately available for comment.

The 42-year-old Rolovich was the highestpaid state employee with an annual salary of more than $3 million in a contract that runs through 2025. He had said he wouldn't get vaccinated but wouldn't specify his reasons. He was the only unvaccinated head coach in the Pac12 and had worn a mask during games.

Rolovich was fired for cause, which means the university does not have to honor the rest of his contract, although lawsuits over the decision are likely. The Washington State athletic department is currently facing a shortfall of more than $30 million.

Around the country, many college football coaches have publicly advocated for vaccination, including Clemson's Dabo Swinney and Alabama's Nick Saban. Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin said not getting vaccinated would be irresponsible and bragged about his team being 100% vaccinated.

Many coaches have talked about their teams' high vaccination rates, though schools are not under any obligation to share those numbers.

Unlike last season, when COVID-19 cases swept through major college football, postponing and canceling games weekly, no games have needed to be rescheduled because of a COVID-19 outbreak.

Rolovich was hired from Hawaii two years ago, after Mike Leach left for Mississippi State, and led Washington State to a 1-3 record in the Pac-12 in a 2020 season cut short because of the pandemic. Washington State has won its past three games and is 4-3 this season, including a 34-31 win over Stanford last Saturday. He finishes with a 5-6 record at the Pullman campus in southeastern Washington.

Rolovich revealed in July that he would not get vaccinated and couldn't

attend Pac-12 media day in person because of it.

He said in mid-August that he intended to follow the new mandate requiring vaccinations for every state employee but repeatedly declined to say how.

After refusing for weeks to reveal his plans, Rolovich on Oct. 9 confirmed he was seeking a religious exemption to the mandate. He has not specified his religious beliefs.

Chun said he met with Rolovich over a period of several months, but could not change the coach's mind.

"He was resolute in his stance," Chun said.

Rolovich needed to prove a sincerely held religious belief that prevented him from getting vaccinated in his exemption application. The application was put before a committee that reviewed the requests without knowing names of the applicants.

To continue coaching, Rolovich needed to receive the religious exemption and also to have Chun determine that Rolovich could do his job while keeping the public safe. In addition to his work as a coach, Rolovich oversaw a youth football program and participated in promotional and fund-

raising events. Dickert is in his

second season as Washington State's defensive coordinator and came to Pullman after three seasons at Wyoming. He has not previously been a head coach.

Chun said the school is looking to hire assistants immediately to fill the vacancies on the staff.

Washington State President Kirk Schulz said nearly 90% of WSU employees and 97% of students had been vaccinated. Fewer than 50 of some 10,000 employees have sought exemptions, Schulz said.

The vaccine issue has percolated all season, dividing Washington State fans and providing a continual distraction.

"There was a lot of frustration with such a prominent employee choosing to be unvaccinated," Schulz said.

Players stood up for their coach as the season progressed. Quarterback Jayden de Laura told a sideline reporter after Saturday's win: "Stop hating on Rolo. We love him."

Wide receiver Travell Harris commended Rolovich after the game for being a "players' coach."

"He's a coach we all love to play for," Harris said.
