Eagles making progress with win over Thayer by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
Liberty Eagles baseball landed in the Win Column last week at home, thanks especially to a big day from Koel Orchard who pitched six innings, smashed a couple of base hits, stole two bases, and scored two of Liberty’s four points in a 4-3 victory. The Eagles struggled on Thursday against a Mountain Grove team that has now won seven of their last eight, including a 7-0 shutout on the road at Licking, but even in the loss, the Eagles had some bright spots. “Our pitching is getting better and better,” explained Liberty Eagles Head Coach Allen Hedden, “Koel did a great job, except for the one
mistake to Young. Andrew (Holden) did a good job at Grove. He made the pitches he needed to get a ground ball or fly ball to get out of innings.” The mistake to Young was three-run homerun by Thayer’s Garrett Young in the fifth inning. Liberty got off to their typical fast start with three runs in the first inning for a 3-0 lead. That lead remained unchanged until Young’s homerun tied it 3-3 in the top of the fifth. The Eagles didn’t let this one get away, however, scoring a run and taking a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fifth, and holding on for a You’re out! Pitcher Koel Orchard covers home plate and one-point victory. Orchard tags the runner out during the Eagles 4-3 victory over the finished the day with his best Thayer Bobcats last week. Orchard pitched 6 innings and statistical performance on struck out 6 batters on the day. He also smashed 2 hits of See Eagles on Page 2

United Way holds annual meeting United Way of the Ozarks celebrated the successes of 2016 at their Annual Meeting and Recognition event, Wednesday, April 12 at Bass Pro’s White River Conference Center. With nearly 400 people in attendance, United Way of the Ozarks President/CEO Debi Meeds recognized all of the efforts made in 2016 to solve problems that no one organization can solve alone. “The families we serve have big challenges that can’t be solved one nonprofit at a time. We have seen that thousands of individual efforts don’t necessarily add up to community progress. The key to community change is how we work together – the systems we put into place,” said Meeds. “We ask individuals to join us, to be part of the change because we know when we Live United, we don’t just change lives, we change what’s possible!” Brian McDonough, 2016
United Way Board Chair, reviewed the highlights of the year, some of which included: - Impacting the lives of more than 307,000 people across 14 counties - A successful 2016 year raising more than $3,074,000 - A successful 2016 Day of Caring with more than 2,000 volunteers completing 279 projects “People will help if they know there is a need and know that they can make a difference,” said McDonough. “The answers to our community’s most pressing issues are out there. You or your neighbor might be holding the key.” The 2017 United Way board officers and board members were affirmed at the meeting: Brad Crain, Arvest Bank, Chair Dr. Stephen Kleinsmith, Nixa Public Schools, Vice Chair

Southeast Missouri
The Missouri Department of Transportation’s (MoDOT) work to re-stripe various state routes throughout Southeast Missouri is underway, with the focus currently on minor routes. In late May, crews will shift their attention to striping major routes (Interstate 55, Route 60 and Route 67) and state routes in Southeast Missouri’s cities and towns. As work is underway, drivers should be prepared to slow down significantly when coming up behind a slow-moving striping caravan. Striping in cities and towns will be completed overnight to help minimize the impact to travelers. The striping trucks move between 8 and 12 mph when work is underway. A driver traveling at highway speed can approach a slow-moving striping caravan much quicker than he or she expects because of significant differences in speed. Drivers are asked to watch for yellow MoDOT trucks with flashing strobe lights and boards with flashing arrows and messages. MoDOT encourages drivers to use caution in and around the striping equipment and crew workers.
