Hailey Michel was present to receive the scholarship of $500. “Hailey is a senior at Summersville High school and is an outstanding student in her class and in the community,” said organization officials. “She also has a great love of the outdoors and hunting and believes it is important to preserve this heritage for future generations.” The scholarship is set up to ensure the NWTF has the dedicated conservationists needed in the future. Applicants for the scholarship are judged on their scholastic achievements, leadership abilities, community involvement and commitment to conservation. Michel’s application will be submitted to the state for a chance to win at least $1,000 in additional scholarship money. State winners then have a chance at the national scholarship worth $10,000.

Two with the Cabool Fire Department were injured in a rollover accident Tuesday which occurred as they were responding to another crash in which a vehicle had overturned. Missouri State Highway Patrol Msgt. D.B. Pounds with Troop G in Willow Springs investigated the accident, and reported an eastbound 2004 Chevrolet 3500 truck driven by Frank Chapman, 61, Cabool, struck a patch of ice, lost control and rolled. The accident happened at 10:35 a.m. Tuesday on Gravel Point Road, 6 miles north of Cabool in Texas County, according to the patrol. Chapman and passenger William Tucker, 18, were wearing seat belts and suffered moderate injuries, the report shows. The two were reportedly taken by Texas County Ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Springfield for treatment. Tpr. J.L. Sentman assisted at the scene. The Cabool Fire Department posted this photo picture and others on its Facebook page, noting the firefighters were going to recover from their injuries, which the fire department said involved no broken bones. Because the crash to which they were responded did not result injuries, the patrol did not include it in its reports.
