(From the Joplin Police Department)
The Joplin Police Department is Cracking Down on Impaired Drivers April 28th through May
1st.
The sobering fact is that impaired driving contributes to nearly 30 percent of all
Missouri traffic fatalities.
In 2011, 218 people were killed and 867 were seriously injured in
crashes involving an impaired driver. That’s why Joplin Police Department, along with the
Southwest Missouri DWI taskforce, will conduct a DWI checkpoint this upcoming weekend.
Consequences of impaired driving include jail time, loss of driver licenses, and being required to
have an ignition interlock installed. Insurance rates go up.
Other financial hits include attorney
fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of job or job prospects. When family,
friends and co-workers find out, violators can also face tremendous personal embarrassment and
humiliation.
Joplin Police Department wants all drivers to realize that driving impaired is simply not worth all
the consequences.

“This event is the single campus event that recognizes students for their excellence in areas outside of the classroom,” said Darren Fullerton, vice president of student affairs and enrollment management. “These students are recognized because their influence, actions and achievements have made a significant impact on their fellow students, the university and the surrounding communities. Missouri Southern is extremely proud of these students, and we look forward to seeing their accomplishments after graduation.”

Importance of research explained to MSSU Board of Governors
(From Southern News Service)
The importance of scholarly research to the life of the campus was the focus of a presentation to the Board of Governors at Missouri Southern State University on Friday, April 15.
“Research is an obligation and a privilege,” said Dr. Paula Carson, provost/vice president for academic affairs. “If an institution such as ours didn’t do that research, there’d be no advancement of knowledge. We’re a university with a capital ‘U,’ and we embrace those responsibilities.”
Those responsibilities include involvement as peer reviewers and journal editors, as well as serving as leaders in local, regional and national organizations. The benefits to Missouri Southern include ensuring that the most relevant and current information is being taught within the disciplines, the expansion of service opportunities and funding options, and creating a unique educational experience for students.
Carson emphasized the synergy between teaching and scholarly research.
“We can honor the traditional learning/instruction heritage, but marry them in such a way that is a win-win for everyone,” she said.
Dr. Brad Creamer, a member of the Biology Department faculty and incoming Faculty Senate president, discussed four different aspects of scholarship and their importance – the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application and the scholarship of teaching. He also touched on how faculty members can enhance those areas at Missouri Southern.
“Scholarship can be hard to define, but it’s so integral to all that we do,” he said.
Carson also highlighted student opportunities, including the 2016 Missouri Southern Student Research Fair, which is set for April 28 in Billingsly Student Center’s Connor Ballroom. Thirty students from across all disciplines will showcase their work to their fellow students, faculty and community. Prizes will be awarded by each of the four schools (Arts & Sciences, Business, Education and Health Sciences).
Other campus initiatives include the thesis development project for students in the Honors Program and funding that is available for travel and research materials for student research projects.
In other business, the Board of Governors voted to reaffirm the university’s mission statement and endorsement of NCAA principles of sportsmanship and ethical conduct.

Joplin Police Department issues scam alert
(From the Joplin Police Department)
We see scams portrayed against our citizens almost daily and share helpful information as we can to prevent further victimization.
We see scams portrayed against our citizens almost daily and share helpful information as we can to prevent further victimization.
We were contacted by a citizen yesterday who fell pray to a scam in which "Washington DC" called her and was depositing money into accounts of "good citizens."
Unfortunately, these scam artists have time to call people all day waiting for that one person, usually elderly or under other circumstances, that they can take advantage of.
This citizen realized she had been a victim and specifically requested we share this information with others.
At the end of the day, if someone is offering you something that is too good to be true, it is. When it doubt, call your local police and don't share personal information with anyone that calls you unsolicited.
JPD Detective Barnett recognized for investigation of child abuse cases
On April 15th, 2016 members of the Joplin Police Department Detective Division attended the 18th Annual Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney’s Crime Victim’s Breakfast along with other members of the Joplin Police Department and multiple other agencies.

Area cattlemen support Crowder Ag Department at auction
Cattlemen at Joplin Regional Stockyards came together to support the Crowder College Agriculture Department for the Third Annual Calf Auction, raising funds for the ag students. Bailey Moore, Joplin Regional Stockyards, and Dr. Harold Haskins, Animal Clinic of Diamond, received bids from the crowd to make this year the highest totaling over $11,000. More than 50 bidders and corporate sponsors participated in the annual event.
Once the fundraising ended the heifer went to final bidder, Giovan Salas, Crowder Agriculture student from Carthage. He plans to add her to his herd.
This year, Newton/McDonald County Cattleman Association member Max Ruhl, owner of R & R Cattle Company, Rocky Comfort, donated a purebred Angus heifer calf for the auction. The yearling heifer was prepared for the sale by the Beef Production class under the supervision of Jay Wilkins, Crowder Agriculture Division Instructor & Chairman.
In addition to the heifer, New Mac Electric, Neosho donated a BBQ grill that was auctioned to the highest bidder.
Funds will be utilized to support students as they attend agricultural seminars and travel to compete at local, state, and national contests, as well as hosting Aggie Day for area high school students. Plans are already under way for next year’s event with area cattlemen offering to donate a calf for the auction.
“The generosity of Joplin Regional Stockyards to interrupt the auction to help raise money for us Aggies along with the Newton/McDonald County Cattlemen’s Association and the ‘buyers’ support, the future of agriculture looks great at Crowder College,” emphasized sophomore Crowder Ag student, Hannah Wreath, from Springfield, Missouri.
The Crowder College Aggies thanked all of the supporters and encouraged everyone to mark their calendars for the 4th Annual Calf Auction next April.
Prior to the auction Crowder Aggies presented an Honorary Aggie Club membership to the Joplin Regional Stockyards for their continued support. Dr. Harold Haskins accepted a plaque on behalf of the stockyard.

Community Shred event set for April 23
(From the City of Joplin)
Many people may have personal papers no longer needed and cluttering their house, but fear of identity theft prevents people from trashing or recycling these sensitive documents. The Joplin Recycling Center, located at 1310 West A Street, can help. On Saturday, April 23---in celebration of Earth Day---the Center will host a community shredding event, in which large amounts of paper can be shredded quickly at no cost to residents. Sponsored by the Joplin Recycling Division and the Joplin Police Department, this opportunity is only available between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the document shredding company, Midwest Fibre Sales, will have their mobile shred truck at the Center.
Midwest Fibre Sales’ shredding division is a secure service provider operating out of a limited public access facility in Springfield, Missouri. The company is fully compliant with industry standards and regulations, and all shredded paper will be recycled.
Captain Bob Higginbotham reminds residents, “Identity thieves can turn your trash into cash, regardless if it is printed or electronic.” Identity theft resulting from items stolen from the trash or curbside recycling bins is the easiest type of crime to prevent. By completely shredding documents, receipts, address labels, or pieces of paper with identifying information like account numbers, you can stop identity theft. But simply ripping an item a few times by hand is not sufficient! Identity thieves will spend hours putting ripped documents back together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Types of items identity thieves seek include:
• Expired credit and debit cards
• Credit and debit card receipts
• Unused credit card checks
• Credit card statements
• Canceled checks
• Investment account statements
• Pension account statements
• Paycheck stubs
• Wage and earnings statements
• Phone and utility bills
• Retail invoices and statements
• Tax returns and statements
• Medical bills
• Insurance claim information
• Checking and savings account statements
• Pre-approved credit card offers and applications
• Insurance policy information (auto, health, life)
• Expired identification documents (driver’s licenses and passports)
Even return addresses on envelopes indicate where you bank; who your doctor is; where your investments are held; who your mortgage is maintained by and provide other similar information that provides a blueprint of your life.
If residents fear they have been a victim of identity theft, they should contact their local law enforcement agency.
Mary Anne Phillips, Recycling Coordinator said, “We are happy to bring this event to the community in celebration of Earth Day, but for those who cannot attend, the Recycling Center has a free self-serve high-capacity shredding machine available to patrons all year.”
The Center is open Tuesday and Thursday from Noon to 6 p.m. and Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

MSSU business students win international competition
(From Southern News Service)
For the second straight year, students from the Plaster School of Business at Missouri Southern State University have claimed the title in the NASBITE International Student Case Competition.
The five-member team completed a 20-page analysis that involves the Ohio-based Cleveland Whiskey. The small manufacturer is seeking to expand globally, focusing on the Asian market and Singapore in particular. Papers were submitted by teams from 30 universities and then blind reviewed. The top three schools were invited to make a presentation to company representatives during the 29th annual NASBITE International Conference, held April 4-8 in Newport, Rhode Island.
Competing against Missouri Southern in the finals were teams from the University of Northern Iowa and Youngstown State University in Ohio.
“Last year’s competition was a market selection case,” said Dr. Chris Moos, associate professor of international business and the team’s advisor. “Cleveland Whiskey knew where they wanted to go, but wanted to know how to enter this specific market. They had a specific budget, and asked the teams for their recommendation on naming, branding, pricing, distribution and a timeline.
“This year, there were ideas from all three finalists that Cleveland Whiskey can use, but they felt our numbers were more realistic.”
Team members are Holly Loncarich, of Fairview; Josh Foster, Carterville; Cynthia Salas, Purdy; Aliza Fahle, Joplin; and Viktoryia Johnson, an international student from Belarus.
“We spent last semester working on the paper,” said Johnson, a senior human resource management major. “When we found out in January that we had qualified for finals, we began working weekly as a group to put together a PowerPoint presentation. We made our presentation in front of the business faculty and got advice from them.”
What makes Missouri Southern’s second competition victory in a row even more special is that it’s only the second year it has been offered.
“Some schools make this a class assignment, but I hand pick the team and invite students to participate,” said Moos. “They’re a highly motivated team. Another factor is that our upper-division classes are applied project-oriented. They’ve done this kind of work in class already.
“The competition is a wonderful experience for our students that they can put on their resume.”
As the winning team, the students were presented with a check for $1,000 by Tom Lix, founder of Cleveland Whiskey.

Website offers information on Joplin rebuilding projects
(From the City of Joplin)
While driving around Joplin in recent weeks, it’s not unusual to come across a construction project of some sort that may have a lane closed for a short distance or possibly a full road closure. The City appreciates drivers’ cooperation in navigating the orange cones and flashing directional signs at these locations. Some of these projects will be completed in upcoming months, including the widening of Maiden Lane and the bridge over the railroad on 20th Street, however with many recovery area projects progressing, the public will see multiple jobs throughout this area for the next couple of years.
To help citizens learn more about these projects, the City has posted a projects dashboard on its website listing all of the projects, highlighting each with a description, timeline of construction, contractor information, and an overview of the funds allocated and expended to date. The dashboard can be found by clicking the link at the end of this article. The website is also mobile-friendly for those wanting to access it via their mobile device.
“We recognize that multiple ongoing projects can be confusing, and somewhat frustrating if people are not aware of them and how they might affect their commutes through Joplin,” said Troy Bolander, Director of Planning, Development and Neighborhood Services. “This dashboard is a great tool that the public can use to track the progress of projects, and know what work is being done in or around their neighborhoods. It also is a great overall snapshot of the planning work that the City has completed in order to move to the implementation stage of these.”
The projects are funded through the $158 million grant from the Community Development Block Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help with rebuilding Joplin following the disaster. Last year, the City Council approved the final projects to be completed with this funding. Categories include Schools & Community; Economic Development; Housing & Neighborhood; and Infrastructure & Environment.
“We appreciate everyone’s patience as we start multiple projects in several areas in the recovery zone,” he said. “We encourage our citizens to use this dashboard to help navigate through the various jobs once we get started,” he said. “Surveying has been ongoing, so it won’t be long before the construction phase begins for many of these. By using the dashboard, people can note when projects will be started and completed, and recognize that construction is a temporary situation, and Joplin’s recovery is bringing many beneficial projects for the future of our community.”
Bolander also noted that more features showing the projects’ progress will be added to the site as it is developed and the projects evolve.

MSSU trumpet ensemble to perform in California
(From Southern News Service)
The seven members of the Missouri Southern State University Trumpet Ensemble have been invited to perform during the 41st annual International Trumpet Guild Conference in Anaheim, Calif.
The 2016 conference, to be held May 31-June 4 at the Hyatt Regency Orange County, will celebrate legendary trumpet players from around the world with a wide variety of educational sessions and vendors. Last year, nearly 1,500 performers attended the event.
“This is the second time the ensemble has been invited to perform,” said Freddie Green, assistant professor of music and director of the ensemble. “We were invited to perform last year as well. People from around the world attend the conference – performers, scholars, researchers. A certain number of groups are selected to perform. It’s a great honor.”
The ensemble consists of trumpet majors and minors. Members are:
Tony Sfortunato, junior, Carl Junction
Tyler Jones, senior, Webb City
Trevor Berger, senior, Fairland, Okla.
Oliver Smith, freshman, Carthage
Jemetris Brown, freshman, Carthage
