A single-vehicle crash injured two Slater men last Monday afternoon in Linn County.

According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report, a 2017 Freightliner traveled off the right side of the roadway around 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 16, on Route ZZ, approximately two miles east of Marceline. The driver overcorrected, causing the vehicle to overturn.

The Freightliner struck a road sign and a mailbox before coming to rest.

The driver, a 61-year-old man, suffered serious injuries. A 19-year-old male passenger sustained minor injuries. Neither occupant was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Both are residents of Slater.

Linn County Ambulance transported both men to Pershing Memorial Hospital for treatment. The vehicle was towed from the scene.

โ€œI donโ€™t know about you, but Iโ€™ve often wondered, what language do angels speak?โ€ Marshall Community Chorus Director Ron Sayer mused.

He stood in front of a full audience inside the First Christian Church of Marshall, chorus members poised behind him, Sunday afternoon. It was the second performance of their Christmas concert, โ€œAll Heaven and Nature Sing.โ€ With house lights dimmed in the sanctuary, save for sunlight filtering through stained glass windows, the chorus prepared for another song.

Enrollment at Missouri Valley College has set a record this year, but it also has created new challenges for administrators. Making sure lodgings are available now that the school has more than 1,500 students has taken effort and strategic planning.

According to Dr. Joe Parisi, MVC president, the college has facilities for 1,200 students in its dormitories and other housing, and every one of those spaces is occupied. Larger freshman classes three years running have driven the need for additional space, and even the 55-plus new rooms added in the previous year are full.
