"Richard Housley, or Richie, has been a Carl Junction, Missouri, resident for over 5 years. He moved to Carl Junction from Parsons, Kansas, for the proximity to the amenities of Joplin and nearby cities. Since moving to Carl Junction, Richie has gained a reputation for being a bit of a philanthropist, working with such organizations as Children’s Haven, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, and Shop with a Cop. Richie has raised funds, volunteered and donated to these organizations and it doesn’t look like he’ll be stopping any time soon. Over the last several years, Richie has become known as the go-to guy in Carl Junction for anything related to fundraising and helping children"

Let's get the new school year started with a big shoutout to this week's Sports Standout, Gavin Beachner!

Seventeen-year-old Gavin Beachner just started his senior year at Carl Junction High School.

"The most rewarding part is running out on the field after all the hours of practice, weights and speed training, and seeing it come together on Friday night alongside friends who've become family in front of a crowd from your community there to support us. Then you get the win and get to do it all over again. It's the best feeling ever," said Gavin.

Don't forget to show off your support for the upcoming football season with a paid digital media ad/sponsorship featured on Show Me The Ozarks Magazine's social media and website platforms.

"For the last 6 years or so, Ol' Red has been a fixture in Carl Junction's Briarbrook neighborhood. His daily treks have made him the neighborhood's most notorious pet. His check-ins often start with his signature knock at the door and a bark to say, 'I'm here,' hoping to see a friendly face and maybe get a snack."

Thank you to everyone who entered their adorable pets in the 17th Annual Pet Contest! All proceeds from the entry fees go to Joplin Humane Society and Faithful Friends Animal Advocates. All the pets are winners in our eyes!

Congrats to our 17th Annual Cutest Pet Contest first-place winner, Chance! This 11-month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is as lovable as they come. A recent rescue, Chance has only been with his owner, Teigan Larson, for a month, but he’s already a perfect fit for the family. Great with kids, affectionate and always ready for a cuddle, he wins over everyone he meets: two-legged or four-legged. He even has a picture-perfect trick: when you make a noise, he tilts his head just so, making every photo irresistible.

Tom Swartz, a lifelong resident of Pittsburg, Kansas, has a passion for leisurely biking that has followed him throughout his life. As a child, Tom rode his bike as general transportation, but now he uses biking as a way to keep himself in shape mentally and physically.

"I also like the camaraderie with bicycling. I do rides with several other people on a regular basis. So, besides getting my miles in riding, we all get to spend time catching up and talking about what's going on in each others' lives," said Tom.

One of the ways Tom started building relationships with fellow riders was by joining clubs like Whose Tires Flat? Cycling Club (WTF Cycling Club) and The Running Collective.

The City of Frontenac learned in late 2019 that the city was the beneficiary of the Tavella family estate. Even though Richard and Jeanette (Guerrero) Tavella made their life in Kansas City, they remained tied to their roots in Southeast Kansas. The Tavellas left their estate to the city and dedicated their money to building a public library, which will be the first public library within Frontenac.

“The City of Frontenac gratefully acknowledges Richard and Jeanette Tavella for their overwhelming generosity in establishing the Frontenac Public Library. This gift will serve Frontenac by providing access to information and resources, supporting literacy and education, promoting lifelong learning, and serving as a community gathering space for generations to come.”

After a little more than three decades of educating children in Joplin, Missouri, Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School has surpassed 500-alumni milestone.

"Our alumni serve as a vital reminder and proof of the impact and importance of our mission-driven organization and the responsibility we have in educating them to make the most of their abilities," said Lauden Baker, Director of Development & Alumni Engagement.

Several alumni went on to do amazing things. "Some of the professions represented by our alumni include executive directors, lawyers, medical professionals, educators, architects, video directors, entrepreneurs, project managers, performers and many, many more," said Lauden.
