Self-help author featured on Newsmakers program

(From KGCS)

When life throws you curve balls, do you live in a place of stagnation or do you move? That question motivates author Henry Harris Junior as he pens his self-help books that bring focus to healing from relationship woes. Navigating real life challenges for adults and students is the focus of the next Newsmakers program.

Harris discusses his latest book, “Uncover: The Bridge Between Acceptance and Authenticity.” Harris writes from a personal journey perspective asking questions that he and the reader seek to answer. 

His other books deal with rejection, relationships and facing your wounds. Missouri Southern State University mental health counselor Riley Miller explains how those same issues impact college students and shares services available to help them navigate those challenges.

Newsmakers is airing nightly at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. beginning on KGCS-TV June 21 and will air at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, June 27 on KOAM-TV. It is also posted on the station’s YouTube channel: KGCS – Missouri Southern State University. KGCS-TV programming can be seen on channel 21 and is also available on regional cable television systems such as Sparklight, Mediacom and Optimum Internet. The station operates as a service of the Department of Communication at Missouri Southern State University.

Portion of Joplin's Main Street to be closed Sunday for Great Race

(From the City of Joplin)

A stretch of Joplin’s Main Street will be closed to traffic this Sunday, June 21, as the City hosts one of this summer’s celebratory Route 66 events – the Hemmings Great Race.

A nine-day classic car rally that spans more than 2,300 miles, the Great Race features 120 of the world’s finest antique automobiles. 

As day 2 of the event concludes in Joplin, the vintage cars will park on Main Street between First and Seventh Streets. The streets will be closed beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday and will reopen at 9:15 p.m. that evening.

These race participants, as well as local hot rods, will be on display for the public from 5-8 p.m.
