Glendale's Joelle Rover shows maturity beyond his years after viral moment seen by millions

SPRINGFIELD — The country was introduced to the Southside Showdown on Oct. 8. Glendale defeated Kickapoo 35-6, but the game was never the story. Glendale wide receiver Joelle Rover was grabbed by referee Kevin Elmer following a touchdown. Millions saw the incident on social media. Influential accounts, including former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, shared the video. “It’s just like football. Bad plays happen, bad stuff happens,” Rover said. “You just need to move on from it and go to the next play, next opportunity. From that instance, a lot of opportunities have opened up to me.” While MSHSAA has suspended Elmer, Rover’s reaction and maturity were the most striking. Rover never complained and didn’t react negatively in the moment. He said he’s quite proud of it, telling the News-Leader last week. High school football: MSHSAA suspends referee after incident in Glendale game “I can’t say that I’m grateful for what happened,” Rover said. “But I’m grateful for how I acted in the situation.” Rover hasn’t received an apology or been in contact with Elmer.

Developer asks court to force Springfield to review data center plans

A developer is asking the court to allow its proposal for a data center to follow the ordinary review process at the city despite Springfield's administrative delay on such projects. After a hearing Friday, Nov. 6, the judge took the matter of a preliminary injunction under advisement, promising to rule on the matter as quickly as possible. Springfield has had an administrative pause in place on all data center proposals since late June. NSI A.1 LLC, managed by Trent Overhue, filed a lawsuit in September against the city claiming the moratorium is invalid and, if found to be valid, does not apply to any ordinary preliminary activities for the project proposed as they are not part of any formal application process. Overhue, who is involved in a number of other data center proposals around the Ozarks, owns the property at 2900 S. National Ave. through the LLC. He has proposed a basement-level "high-performance computing data processing facility" in the larger of two buildings at the location. While the property is zoned for a planned development that allows "data processing services" under the use for Administrative and Professional Offices, differences emerged between Overhue's interpretation of what this would allow and the

Spikes in Republic water/sewer billing scaled back from two to 12 years, officials propose slow roll water, sewer rate changes

The Republic City Council is considering a stunning reversal of the steep water and sewer rate increases approved in January 2025. At the city council’s Oct. 20 meeting, Chief Financial Officer Bob Ford introduced a budget amendment pulling back on the 64 percent increase in water and sewer rates in one year, which would continue to rise annually. After an outcry from the public, in March the city froze scheduled increases in water after the first year. Wastewater rates still increased by 16 percent. Under the vision statement of “doing the Right Thing at the Right Time for the Right Reason,” Ford advances what was called a “fairer” bill calculation methodology, “one that is equitable to all rate payers and can be used for both water and wastewater” for the next three years.
