Workshop for Farmers Market vendors planned in Webb City
(From University of Missouri Extension)
A local foods workshop to help farmer's markets vendors increase sales is set for 1 p.m. Saturday, April 15, at the Webb City Public Library.
The session gives farmers market vendors information on how to market their produce and increase sales. University of Missouri Extension specialists will tell how to display produce to attract customers. They also will talk about why signs, pamphlets and other marketing tools are important.
MU Extension horticulture specialist Robert Balek says vendors will learn how to follow health regulations when giving samples of their products.
"We know that sampling at the market can increase sales and customer loyalty, but it must be done right to protect the vendors and their customers," Balek says.
Vendors will learn proper food storage and handling methods. Farmers market vendors must follow Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services regulations and county health codes.
Balek worked with vendors last year and says they saw increased sales.
USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program provided multi-year grant funds for the program.
Last year, MU Extension nutrition specialists, nutrition associates and horticulturists gave demonstrations at Chillicothe, Lawson, St. Joseph, Maryville, Hillsboro, De Soto, Raytown, Belton, Unionville, Kirksville, Harrisonville, Nevada, Webb City, Memphis, Parkville and Gladstone.
The Webb City Public Library is at 101 S. Liberty St., Webb City. Contact Balek at balekr@missouri.edu or 417-358-2158, or Eileen Nichols at 417-483-8139. Balek suggests reservations.
Webb City Farmers Market sponsors the free event.

The annual awards, which are presented by the Department of Communication, honor media professionals who have made a regional impact throughout their careers. The 2017 recipients are Bob Capps and Bob Mitchell, with the Legacy Award going to Ron Robson, Sr.
“The Regional Media Hall of Fame Awards were established in 2006 by Missouri Southern’s Department of Communication,” said Judy Stiles, general manager of KGCS-TV. “The awards recognize those who have shown the highest level of professionalism and integrity during their careers.
“Throughout those years, we have honored 22 individuals. This year’s group of honorees continue the tradition of having careers that have had positive impacts on regional media.”
Bob Capps
Bob Capps had a career in radio and television that spanned more than 50 years.
He graduated from Carthage High School in 1952 and worked at the Carthage radio station, later attending Joplin Junior College. He worked at KOAM-TV as one of the first news anchors at that station.
In 1954, he attended the University of Denver and worked for KOA radio. He served with U.S. Navy and Armed Forces Radio, including work in Cuba prior to the Cuban revolution. His career then took him to locations around the country.
Capps served as news director at WISH Radio in Indianapolis, and at WWDC and WTOP radio stations in Washington, D.C. He worked for national radio networks ABC and NBC in New York in the late 1970s. He was also news director at WPAT radio in Patterson, N.J.
In 1983, he returned to the Joplin area and worked for KOAM-TV. He served as Jasper County Eastern District Commissioner from 1985-88 and also worked for Leggett & Platt in Carthage.
He returned to radio work at KKOW radio in Pittsburg from 1991-2002. During that time, he was recognized with an award from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters.
Bob Mitchell
Bob Mitchell has been involved in the newspaper business in Cassville, Mo., for more than 50 years. He served as owner, editor, and publisher of the Cassville Democrat, and in his retirement continues to write a weekly column.
His journalism career began while in the U.S. Navy, attending Navy journalism and public relations schools. After his years of military service, he returned to Cassville to help with the newspaper, which his family started in 1871. During the years he lead the paper, he adjusted to industry changes, including switching to offset printing in the 1960s.
His work stressed the importance of community newspapers, and he was active in the Missouri Press Association. Mitchell was very involved in the Cassville community, including work with the Cassville Industrial Development Corporation, Rotary and Chamber of Commerce.
He sold the Cassville Democrat in 1995 but remains active with writing and in the community.
Legacy Award: Ron Robson, Sr.
Ron Robson, Sr. had a broadcast career in the Joplin region that spanned more than 25 years in the early days of regional media.
He was born in 1911 in Pittsburg, Kan., and graduated from Kansas State Teachers College in 1933. He taught and worked as a high school coach in the region.
His media career began in 1950 when he was hired to work for KSWM Radio to do play-by-play for football games. He moved to television at the station, which became KODE-TV.
Robson held several positions at the station, including newscaster, operations manager and news director. As a newscaster, he presented three newscasts a day, including live commercials. He hosted the interview program “For Your Information,” which featured guests such as Missouri Gov. Warren Hearnes, Joplin actor Robert Cummings and then-actor Ronald Reagan.
He became the first full-time Public Information Director at Missouri Southern State College in 1970. His highlights at Southern included covering the 1972 national football championship. After retiring from that position in 1976, he continued work at MSSC as Sports Information Director until retirement in the early 1980s.
Robson was active in the Joplin community, serving with organizations such as the Kiwanis Club and Boy Scouts, and as a member of the Joplin School Board. Known as a devoted family man, he passed away in 1998 at the age of 86.

BIlly Long disagrees with Trump on eliminating funding that helps Joplin Airport
Essential Air Service (EAS), administered by the Department of Transportation (DOT), is an important part of southwest Missouri. This program allows for smaller communities, like Joplin, to have a certain number of roundtrip flights each week at a lower rate.
The DOT recently reselected American Airlines to continue to provide EAS at the Joplin Regional Airport through Feb. 28, 2019.
Over the years, this program has attracted many individuals and businesses to southwest Missouri. Without this program, the Joplin airport would likely have no commercial air service.
Since its operations began, the EAS program at the Joplin airport has proven to be quite successful. With an increase in passenger traffic, American Airlines alone has more than quadrupled their passenger traffic, which has resulted in a significant decrease in subsidy. Under the new contract, depending on what type of aircraft is used, the annual subsidy will be either $395,899 or $839,513.
I understand a program like this might be perceived as not needed or useful, but when you live in rural areas, like those in southwest Missouri, programs like these can benefit individuals with limited resources that otherwise might not be able to fly.
Though the President’s proposed budget eliminates this program, a proposed budget is just that, a proposed budget. There will always be items in a budget that people agree and disagree on. Eliminating EAS funding just happens to be one of those things I disagree on.
I will continue to work on behalf of my constituents to ensure that this program is not eliminated from the budget. With Missouri’s 7th Congressional District being predominately rural, I understand the value of a program like this.
Hertzberg promoted to City of Joplin public works director
Joplin City Manager Sam Anselm announced today the promotion of David Hertzberg to Public Works Director. Most recently, Hertzberg served as the Capital Improvements Project Manager for the City and held this position for the past two years. Prior to that, he worked in Community Development focusing on disaster recovery. He previously served as the Public Works Director from 2004 to 2013 before moving to the recovery role.
“David has an extensive background in Public Works and brings a great deal of knowledge and experience to this position,” said Anselm. “He will be a great asset to the management team and community, as the Public Works Department is our largest department with multiple divisions that affect citizens’ daily lives.”
Hertzberg has been with the City full-time for 35 years, starting in the department as a Civil Engineer.
“I look forward to this opportunity to lead a great staff who are committed to taking care of our citizens in their various roles in Public Works,” said Hertzberg. “As the public knows, there are multiple projects being completed currently, as well as different issues the City is addressing including drinking water access and the residual effects of our mining history on wastewater treatment. In my position, I will build on existing accomplishments of the City and Public Works, while working with other departments of the City as we complete the recovery work and other major projects.”
Hertzberg currently serves as President of the Tristate Water Resource Coalition and is an executive board member. He is past president and continuing member of the Transportation Engineers Association of Missouri and the Southwest Chapter, Missouri Society of Professional Engineers, and is a charter member of the Southwest Missouri Joint Municipal Water Resource Utility Commission.
He will assume Director of Public Works position on April 3, 2017, following the current Director Nick Heatherly’s retirement.

Minutes provided for Crowder College Board of Trustees meeting
GENERAL WORK SESSION MINUTES OF THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
OF NEWTON-McDONALD COUNTIES, MISSOURI
March 15, 2017
The general work session of the Crowder College Board of Trustees of the Community College District of Newton-McDonald Counties, Missouri, was called to order by Board Chair Mr. Andy Wood, at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15, 2017, in the Newton Hall Conference Room on the Neosho campus.
Members present for the meeting were:
Andy Wood, Chair
Vickie Barnes, Treasurer
Rick Butler, Vice Chair
Al Chapman, Secretary
Larry Vancuren, Member
Diane Andris, Member
Also attending the meeting were:
Jennifer Methvin, President
Glenn Coltharp, Vice President of Academic Affairs
Amy Rand, Vice President of Finance
Tiffany Slinkard, Vice President of Student Affairs
I. Pre-Budget Discussions
In preparation for financial planning for the 2017-18 fiscal year, the Board heard a number of reports. VP Rand presented a report on the Missouri Debt Offset Program, which Crowder implemented in June 2016. To date, $75,498.28 has been recovered on past-due billing. Dr. Coltharp presented extensive information about the course fee structure at Crowder College, and VP Slinkard shared information about testing fees. Board members reviewed and discussed the FY18 tuition and fee recommendation, which would be formally presented for the Board’s first reading on March 20. Dr. Coltharp provided an overview of the current DHE program review, and Dr. Methvin shared a brief overview of a recent state budget conference call that Missouri presidents participated in with the Missouri Department of Higher Education.
General discussion was held about potential impacts for Crowder’s FY18 budget.
II. Grant Proposals In-Process
In preparation for Board action at the March 20 meeting, Dr. Methvin provided an overview of Crowder’s recently completed Title III application, noting that Crowder will be applying for both Part A funding of approximately $2.5 M over five years and Part F funding for $3M over five years. Dr. Methvin specifically reviewed how the Title III proposed project entitled “Connect” will provide Crowder with resources to advance the strategic goal of increasing persistence, retention, and graduation rates at Crowder while we decrease the time students take to complete a degree.
The vice presidents also shared brief overviews of additional grant applications in progress.
III. Other
Finally, Dr. Methvin provided an update on the “attendance taking” versus “non-attendance taking” item discussed at the February Board meeting. An action team has been formed, led by Financial Aid Director Stephanie Ferguson, and they have determined that Crowder should move toward being an attendance taking institution next academic year. An expanded team of faculty and staff are currently working to implements procedures and prepare for the transition.

Joplin Municipal Court plans Amnesty Day
(From the City of Joplin)
Because the Joplin Municipal Court recognizes the difficulties many citizens may have in meeting their obligations with the Municipal Court, it will hold an Amnesty Day on Friday, April 28, 2017. Warrant Fees and Failure to Appear Fees will be waived for anyone wishing to turn themselves in on warrants on this day at the Municipal Court, 303 East 3rd Street. The Amnesty Day hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the check-in process beginning at 8:30 a.m. This program is for Joplin Municipal City warrants only.
“The City understands that someone may have missed a court date or let a ticket lapse,” said Lamonte Ratcliff, Court Administrator. “Hosting an Amnesty Day allows people the opportunity to take care of cases without the fear of being arrested. It’s a way to be productive for both the citizens we serve and the City.”
Ratcliff also noted that when warrants are issued for certain violations, the individual’s driver’s license may be suspended. During this program, the Court will lift suspensions on those offenders whose licenses are suspended through the Municipal Court, so they can get their licenses reinstated.
“Helping with license suspensions can be very beneficial for the citizen, and is offered to give additional support to those participating in the Amnesty Day,” said Ratcliff.

DWI checkpoints planned next month for Jasper, Greene counties
(From Highway Patrol Troop D)
Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer, Troop D, Springfield, announces that sometime during the month of April 2017, Troop D will conduct a DWI checkpoint and DWI saturations in Jasper and Greene counties, respectively. The areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinking-related crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators. The sobering fact is that impaired driving contributes to more than 22 percent of all Missouri fatal traffic crashes (preliminary 2016 statistics). That’s why the Missouri State Highway Patrol will join other Missouri law enforcement agencies to crack down on impaired driving throughout the month of April.
“Driving drunk is simply not worth all the consequences,” stated Captain Villanueva. “Our message is simple and unwavering: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” To report a suspected intoxicated driver, dial 9-1-1 or *55 on your cell phone.
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”

City of Joplin plans tree giveaway
(From the City of Joplin)
In recognition of Arbor Day, the City of Joplin invites Joplin residents to receive a complimentary tree on Friday, April 7, 2017. A variety of beautiful trees specifically selected to aid in reforestation efforts in Joplin will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, following a brief program during the event highlighting the many benefits that trees provide our community.
The program will be held at 11 a.m. at the Arboretum in Landreth Park, and will conclude with Joplin Mayor Mike Seibert presenting a Proclamation naming April 7, 2017 as Arbor Day for the City of Joplin. City officials will be joined by members of Empire District Electric Company and the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) in this Arbor Day event.
Trees and seedlings will be given away near the north pavilion at Landreth Park immediately following the program through 2:30 p.m., or while supplies last. Arborist Mike McDaniel with the City of Joplin, along with representatives of the City’s Tree Advisory Board, MDC, and Empire foresters will be on hand to provide information about the importance of planting the right tree in the right place. In addition, Empire customers who had reserved a tree online through the utility’s website during March and selected Joplin as the pick-up locationmay pick up their tree during this event from 12:15 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Empire District will also host a tree planting in the Joplin Utility Arboretum in Landreth Park to commemorate this day. The Arboretum was first introduced in 2010, with dozens of attractive tree plantings chosen for a special purpose – as a demonstration site where customers can see living examples of proper tree selection and placement in relation to power and utility lines. This unique educational tool illustrates how the right tree, planted in the right place can enhance the safe and reliable operation of utilities while encouraging a healthy urban forest. The arboretum was developed by Empire.
The event will also celebrate Joplin’s status as a Tree City USA and Empire’s seventh year as a Tree Line USA utility, as recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation. To become a Tree City USA, a city must initiate standards that address management and care of public trees, commit to a community forestry program, and participate in an event to provide education about proper tree care. To receive the Tree Line USA designation, a utility must follow quality tree care standards, provide annual worker training, and participate in tree planting, public education and tree-based energy conservation efforts.
For more information about the City’s Tree City USA program, contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 417-627-8879. For information about Empire’s vegetation management program and utility arboretum projects, go to www.empiredistrict.com/trees.

Neosho, MO - On Thursday, April 6, 6pm in the Elsie Plaster Community Center Auditorium on the Crowder College campus in Neosho, the Crowder College Technical Education Center (CTEC) will take part in Most Likely to Succeed’s worldwide campaign to re-imagine education.
The acclaimed film Most Likely to Succeed offers an inspiring look at what students and teachers are capable of—if we have the vision and courage to transform our schools. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Greg Whiteley, the film has been an official selection of two dozen of the world’s top film festivals, including Sundance, Tribeca, and AFI DOCS. It’s been featured at leading conferences on education, including ASU/GSV, SxSWedu, Harvard/GoldmanSachs, and NewSchools Venture Fund. Audience members call it the most compelling film ever done on the topic of school. In the past year, more than 2,300 communities have booked a screening of Most Likely to Succeed.
The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion among educators, administrators, parents, and students about how current obstacles can be overcome and steps towards change can be taken on a local level. Born out of these conversations is a community-wide commitment to moving forward; transformational initiatives are undertaken and real change is ignited. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is recommended. Please visit mltsfilm.org for more information about the film and movement. Registration is available at:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/most-likely-to-succeed-tickets-32482271348

Ribbon cutting ceremony held for Lion Cub Academy at MSSU
Members of Missouri Southern’s administration were joined by some of the youngest members of the Lion family for a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday, March 28, at the new Lion Cub Academy.
Located at 3600 Newman Road, the former Child Development Center has moved from Taylor Education Building to its new location, where it will continue to provide care for the children of students, faculty, staff and alumni, from ages 1 to 5. The increased space – 10,736 square feet, nearly double what was available in Taylor – will allow the center to expand its enrollment from 59 children to more than 90.
The ceremony included remarks from Dr. Alan Marble, president of Missouri Southern; Dr. Deborah Brown, dean of the School of Education; and Nikki Tappana, director of the center.
“A child’s development is a continuous process,” said Brown. “As such, this center is designed to create an atmosphere of security and trust, where children can develop emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually – a place where they can learn to learn.
“This new space allows us to do more for the children than ever before.”
Marble emphasized the importance of the Lion Cub Academy to education students at Missouri Southern.
“The center provides our students with an excellent environment to further their studies in early childhood education,” he said. “This invaluable, hands-on experience can increase their understanding of the principles of child development, help them create a healthy environment for children and further their passion for helping kids develop a lifelong love for learning.
“Having this newly renovated space for the center will allow us not only to increase the number of children served, but create new learning opportunities for our students and future educators.”
