Big Spring in Carter County, the largest spring in Missouri and one of the largest springs in the United States, will be the site of an Ozark National Scenic Riverways program on the Perseid meteor shower from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the park, located about 5 miles southeast of Van Buren at the east end of Highway 103. The meteor shower is expected to peak overnight Saturday night, and is one of the most active meteor showers of the year. The location was chosen as a dark sky area, more ideal for viewing the most "falling stars" as light pollution from urban areas won't block viewing.

August 5, 1921 First radio major league game airs on KDKA
August 5, 1921, marks a pivotal moment not only in the history of Major League Baseball but also in the broader narrative of media and communications.

The Pirates triumphed over the Phillies 8-5, but the day's significance transcended the game's outcome.

Two men in Howell County charged with committing crimes against children
Editor’s note: In cases of abuse, and particularly when children are involved, the Quill makes every effort to protect the identities of potential victims, including withholding specific details that could be used to identify them. Due to the nature of some alleged crimes, however, at times, minors may still be identifiable. The Quill endeavors to make this as difficult as possible for their privacy. If you suspect a child is being abused, call the Missouri Child Abuse & Neglect Hotline, 800-392-378. If you are experiencing domestic or sexual violence, or if you’re a survivor of the same needing support, call Christos House’s hotline, 800-611-5853. more

Sometimes mushroom identification can be confusing, literally. This fungus was found growing at the base of a tree at Klepzig Mill, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, in Shannon County. It is likely a Strobilomyces strobilaceus, or &quot;old man of the woods,&quot; not to be mistaken for a very similar looking species, Strobilomyces confusus, common name &ldquo;confusing old man of the woods.&rdquo; The distinction, and a lesson in photographing mushrooms for identification, could be found under the cap if the photographer had had the foresight to do so. S. strobilaceus has pores on the underside instead of the gills found on S. confusus. This photo, on close inspection, seems to show a corner of the cap has broken off and appears to be more like spores instead of gills, though the fungus overall seems to be way past its prime and blacker than the usual coloration of grey with black scales. Both species are edible, but confirmation of species by an expert before eating mushrooms of any species is essential because some can cause severe illness or death.
